Homeowner fires at burglary suspect Police arrested Erica Duran, 32, on Maez Road after an Agua Fría Street homeowner fired one shot from his gun as she allegedly attempted to burglarize his Erica Duran home, said Lt. Andrea Dobyns of the Santa Fe Police Department. The round hit the ground and no one was injured during the incident, she said.

The homeowner had not been identified as of Sunday afternoon, and Dobyns said she did not know what type of gun he used. According to the police report, at about 11:48 a.m. Sunday, Duran broke a window to the man’s home and then armed herself with a piece of glass, prompting the man to fire. One resident of the neighborhood, who did not want his name published, said police officers with guns drawn showed up in the area at about noon. They searched several streets, including Acequias de

Dobyns said other neighbors told police that Duran also had attempted to gain entry to their homes through a variety of guises, including pretending to be lost and offering to sell a purse, both one day last week and again on Sunday. “She was caught with stolen property, though none of it was from those residences that she tried to get into,” Dobyns said.

Civility in political combat State Sen. Jacob Candelaria recently took an independent stand that upset many people. Candelaria, D-Albuquerque, supported Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s decision to make the head of the state Tourism Department the new Cabinet secretary of the embattled agency that cares for abused and neglected children. Candelaria, 28, says he received a threat of physical violence by email after endorsing the governor’s appointee. It’s fine to disagree with Candelaria, but Milan wrong to threaten him Simonich or anybody else. Ringside Seat He may be off base in supporting a fellow Ivy Leaguer for the gritty job of making sure vulnerable kids are protected. Or Candelaria could be right that someone with a track record in management may be more capable of improving the Children, Youth and Families Department than a social worker who’s been in the trenches.

As the nation continues to grapple with the thorny issues of race and policing, some officers have been bruised by comments made by some local and national officials and have accused them of showing more support for the protesters, some of whom have violently clashed with police, than for their police departments. Law enforcement officials say morale is flagging among rankand-file officers who feel “betrayed” by President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder in their calls for tough reforms of policing tactics. “We might be reaching a tipping point with the mindset of officers, who are beginning to wonder if the risks they take to keep communities safe are even worth it anymore,” said Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. “In New York and other places, we’re seeing a natural recoil from law enforcement officers who don’t feel like certain people who need to have their backs have their backs.” New York became the epicenter of that frustration last month when Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were ambushed by a gunman as they sat in their patrol car on a Brooklyn street. Ismaaiyl Brinsley, who killed himself shortly after murdering the officers, wrote on social media that he was avenging the deaths of unarmed black men who had been killed by police, specifically referencing
Felony convictions of public officials are often complicated by this question: Will they resign their elected posts? New York Congressman Michael Grimm, who pleaded guilty to tax fraud on Dec. 23, rejected calls to step down after his guilty plea. He finally relented last week. In New Mexico, Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella initially indicated he wouldn’t give up his job after he was convicted in September of violating the civil rights of an Española man. Rodella resigned a few days later, although that fact didn’t become public knowledge for more than a week until his resignation letter turned up in court documents. There would be no question of convicted New Mexico officials losing their positions if the Legislature passes and the governor signs a bill pre-filed late last month. Senate Bill 90, sponsored by Sen. Mark Moores, R-Albuquerque, says, “If a person who holds a public office in this state is convicted of a felony, the person shall be deemed to have resigned from the public office immediately upon conviction, and the office shall be deemed vacant.” Not only that, but the convicted official could lose one of the things a politicians holds most dear: his or her campaign treasury. “All funds belonging to the person’s campaign committee or committees shall be subject to forfeiture pursuant to the provisions of the Forfeiture Act; provided that upon forfeiture, any funds shall be deposited into the children’s trust fund,” the proposed legislation says. Moores said in an email that his bill would codify a 2010 state Supreme Court ruling in the case of then-Public Regulation Commissioner Carol Sloan. Sloan was convicted on felony battery and burglary charges but refused to resign her state commission. The high court ruled that an elected official automatically forfeits his or her office upon conviction of a felony. The case that sparked the forfeiture part of

Some officers turn their backs as New York Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks Sunday during the funeral of Officer Wenjian Liu in the Brooklyn borough of New York.

Officers express frustration, defiance as nation grapples with policing, race issues By Wesley Lowery and Kimberly Kindy The Washington Post
he frustration and defiance of the nation’s police officers were on display again Sunday in New York City, where tens of thousands of them gathered for the funeral of the second of two officers whose murders happened at the height of the ongoing protests and scrutiny after several high-profile deaths of unarmed black males. A large number of the officers who stood under grey skies, dressed in their formal blue uniforms, staged their own protest, turning their backs when Mayor Bill de Blasio rose to speak at the funeral. Even some out-of-town officers joined NYPD members in the show of disrespect toward de Blasio, an outspoken critic of some policing tactics who has come to represent what many in law enforcement see as a lack of support, if not outright hostility, for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep the streets safe.

Support for Afghanistan War rises
In brief
By Scott Clement The Washington Post
N. Korea criticizes U.S. sanctions SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on Sunday criticized the United States for slapping sanctions on Pyongyang officials and organizations for a cyberattack on Sony Pictures — the latest fallout from a Hollywood movie depicting the fictional assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. An unnamed spokesman for North Korea’s Foreign Ministry, in rhetoric that closely mirrors past statements, denied any role in the breach of tens of thousands of confidential Sony emails and business files and accused the United States of “groundlessly” stirring up hostility toward Pyongyang. The spokesman said the new sanctions would not weaken the country’s 1.2-million-strong military.
Divers resume AirAsia search SURABAYA, Indonesia — The weather improved Monday and divers will attempt again to locate large objects on the ocean floor believed to be the fuselage of the AirAsia flight that crashed more than one week ago, killing all 162 on board. At least five ships with equipment that can detect the plane’s black boxes have been deployed to the area where the suspected plane parts were spotted, said Suryadi B. Supriyadi, Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue director of operations. Five large objects — the biggest measuring 59 feet long and 18 feet wide and believed to be the fuselage — have been detected, and Supriyadi repeated that officials expect that many passengers and crew will be found trapped inside.
Some cities opt to ban sledding DES MOINES, Iowa — Part of the fun of sledding is the risk that comes with flying down a hill. But that risk leaves cities open to potential bills from sledding injuries, and some have opted to close hills rather than risk large liability claims. No one tracks how many cities have banned or limited sledding, but the list grows every year. One of the latest is in Dubuque, Iowa, where officials are moving ahead with a plan to ban sledding in all but two of its 50 parks. Parks manager Marie Ware says Dubuque is hilly and the risk is too prevalent. In meetings leading up to the ban, City Council members lamented the move but say it’s the only responsible choice given liability concerns and demands from Dubuque’s insurance carrier.

A group of migrants stand on their overturned boat Feb. 6 off the coast of Port St. Lucie, Fla. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the flow of migrants through the Caribbean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Florida Straits in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30 included 5,585 Haitians and 3,940 Cubans, along with hundreds of people from the Dominican Republic and other countries in the Caribbean and elsewhere.

MIAMI ust starting a five-year sentence for illegally re-entering the United States, George Lewis stared at the officers staring back at him at Miami’s federal detention center and considered whether he’d risk getting on another smuggler’s boat — a chance that soaring numbers of Caribbean islanders are taking — once he’s deported again. U.S. authorities deported Lewis following a four-year sentence for a felony drug conviction in May 2013 to the Bahamas, where he was born but lived only briefly. His Haitian mother brought him to Miami as an infant, and though he always considered the U.S. home, he never became a legal resident. Just five months after he was deported, he got on a Bahamian smuggler’s boat with over a dozen other people trying to sneak into Florida. It capsized and four Haitian women drowned. He and the others were rescued. So would he dare make another attempt? “Yeah,” Lewis, 39, said with a sigh. But, he added, “I would put on a life vest next time.” A recent spike in Cubans attempting to reach the United States by sea has generated headlines. But the numbers of Haitians and other Caribbean islanders making similar journeys are up even more. And while federal law grants legal residency to Cubans reaching U.S. soil, anyone else can be detained and deported. That law, the so-called wet-foot, dry-foot policy, and Coast Guard operations related to migrants remain unchanged even as Cuban and U.S. leaders say they are restoring diplomatic relations after more than 50 years. “The Coast Guard strongly discourages attempts to illegally enter the country by taking to the sea. These trips are extremely dangerous. Individuals located at sea may be returned to Cuba,” said Lt. Cmdr. Gabe Somma, spokesman for the Coast

Guard’s 7th District in Miami. According to the Coast Guard, in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, U.S. authorities captured, intercepted or chased away at least 5,585 Haitians, 3,940 Cubans and hundreds from the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean countries attempting to sneak into the country. That’s at least 3,000 more migrants intercepted than in the previous fiscal year. It’s also the highest number of Haitian migrants documented in five years and the highest number of Cubans recorded in six. It’s unknown how many made it to U.S. shores without getting caught, or how many died trying. More than 1,920 migrants — most of them Cuban or Haitian — have been intercepted so far in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1. The Coast Guard worries that number will only increase as news spreads about recent changes to the U.S. immigration system, including fast-tracking visas for some Haitians already approved to join family here and an executive order signed by President Barack Obama that would make millions already illegally in the U.S. eligible for work permits and protection from deportation. “Any perceived changes to U.S. immigration policy can cause a spike in immigration because it gives a glimmer of hope,” even to people not eligible under those changes, said Capt. Mark Fedor, chief of response for the Coast Guard’s 7th District. It’s unclear why the numbers are jumping. Poverty and political repression have long caused Caribbean islanders to attempt the journey, and the outlook remains dismal for many. Coast Guard and U.S. immigration officials think another calm summer without many tropical storms and a recovering U.S. economy might have encouraged more to take to the sea. They also say the increased captures may reflect better law enforcement. Smuggling operations in the region range from individual opportunists looking to use their vessels for extra money to sophisticated networks that may add drug shipments to their human cargo, said Carmen Pino, an official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Miami. Smugglers also lure people, especially in relatively new routes that send Haitians into the neighboring Dominican Republic to board boats bound for Puerto Rico.
After falling to record lows, support for the Afghanistan War has risen since 2013, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll that also finds majority support for a plan to keep thousands of troops in the country in the coming year. Overall, Americans remain downbeat over the war at the end of NATO’s 13-year combat mission. A 56 percent majority says it has not been worth fighting, continuing a negative streak that dates to 2010 in Post-ABC polls. But 38 percent in the new survey say the war was worth the costs, up eight points from December 2013 and 10 points from a record low that July (28 percent). The bounce-back in positive views is driven by a dramatic reversal of opinion among Republicans. Only 39 percent of Republicans said the war was worth fighting in late 2013, but 56 percent believe so today, marking an end to a massive downward slide since 2009. In the early months of Barack Obama’s presidency, as many as 77 percent of Republicans said the war was worth fighting. Support for the war also increased among political independents in the past year, from 26 to 35 percent, though roughly six in 10 independents and Democrats alike continue to say the war was not worth it. Despite the overall negative appraisal, over half of Americans (54 percent) favor keeping U.S. troops in the country to help Afghan forces train and perform counter-insurgency roles. The residual force garners rare crosspartisan support, including at least half of Republicans (66 percent), Democrats (52 percent) and independents (51 percent). At peak levels, in 2010 and 2011, the U.S. had 100,000 troops in Afghanistan. That number has fallen dramatically since then and will drop to 10,000 in 2015 and half that by 2016. With the U.S.-led NATO combat mission officially over, about half of the American troops remaining are expected to serve in a new NATO operation advising and training Afghan security forces and half will service in a separate U.S.-only contingent focused on force protection, logistical support and counterterrorism. Americans are split down the middle on the question of whether the Afghan War, launched in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, has made the U.S. more secure. Forty-eight percent say it has made the U.S. more secure while 47 percent say otherwise, marking a modest improvement from 2013, when 50 percent doubted the impact of the fight on U.S. security. Few see major benefits, however, with 19 percent saying the war has contributed “a great deal” to national security. Partisan divisions return on this issue, with nearly two in three Republicans saying the war has contributed to U.S. security (65 percent), while most Democrats say it has not and independents split more evenly. The uptick in positive views of the Afghan war overall comes after a pivotal year that saw a drawdown in NATO forces, the election of President Ashraf Ghani and the signing by Afghan officials of a bilateral security agreement allowing U.S. and NATO forces to remain in the country. The shift also follows months of U.S. military efforts to prevent Iraq from being overrun by Islamic State militants, emboldening critics who say the Obama administration withdrew hastily from a war he promised to end. Last year also saw the Obama administration release five Guantanamo Bay detainees in a prisoner swap for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who left his post in Afghanistan in 2009. A July Post-ABC poll found 39 percent approved of the exchange, while 51 percent disapproved. The Post-ABC poll was conducted by phone Dec. 11-14 among a random sample of 1,000 adults. The poll had a margin of error of 3.5 percent.

said. “He has chosen pastors who are real pastors, even in smaller dioceses because they correspond to this pastoral vision.” The new cardinals will be formally installed at a ceremony called a consistory on Feb. 14, Francis said, adding that he had convened the entire College of Cardinals for a two-day reflection “on the orientations and proposals for the reform of the Roman Curia,” the Vatican’s administrative bureaucracy. Reforming the curia has been a priority for Francis, who has established commissions to review both the Vatican’s finances and its inner workings. It was “notable” Lombardi said, that only one of the new Cardinals — Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura — is from the Roman Curia. With the addition of the 20 new cardinals, the College of Cardinals now numbers 228, including 103 who are over 80. Francis will now have chosen 31 of the 125 cardinals who will elect the next pope, including 16 cardinal electors of 19 cardinals named just under a year ago. They, too, came predominantly from countries in the Southern Hemisphere. Melloni said it was hard to characterize the new cardinals, most of whom had risen in the church during the eras of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, as strictly conservative or liberal. Instead, it could be said that these new cardinals are likely to be more sensitive to the pope’s vision of “a church that goes to the peripheries, that renounces power in order to heal the wounds of suffering men and women, adopting a different attitude than that taken by some intransigent cardinals” that have recently challenged Francis on issues, Melloni said. “The new cardinals could find themselves in tune with a new way of looking at things.”

With his wife and child close at hand, Army Maj. Chad Wriglesworth battled skin cancer for more than a year before dying at age 37. “It was long and painful and awful,” said Aimee Wriglesworth, who believes the cancer resulted from exposure to toxic fumes in Iraq. Yet the 28-yearold widow from Bristow, Va., seized a chance to recount the ordeal and its aftermath to a researcher, hoping that input from her and her 6-year-old daughter might be useful to other grieving military families. “To be able to study what we felt and what we’re going through — maybe this will help people down the line,” Wriglesworth said. By the hundreds, other widows, widowers, parents, siblings and children are sharing accounts of their grief as part of the largest study ever of America’s military families as they go through bereavement. About 2,000 people have participated over the past three years, and one-on-one interviews will continue through February. The federally funded project is being conducted by the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress at the Maryland-based Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. The study is open to families of the more than 19,000 service members from all branches of the military who have died on active duty since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, regardless of whether the death resulted from combat, accident, illness, suicide or other causes. “We’ve been impressed by how many people who’ve had this experience really want to let us know about it,” said the leader of the study, Dr. Stephen Cozza. “They want to talk about what happened — to provide information that will help them and people like them in the future.” Aimee Wriglesworth is hopeful that the study will provide new insight on how best to support young families like hers. “A lot of things that are helping us now come from Vietnam, Korea, World War II,” she said of existing assistance programs. “But now it’s a whole new world of military losses. Studying us is really important.” About half of the participants are providing saliva samples that will be used for genetic research, aimed at determining if certain genetic makeups correlate with the duration of the grieving process and the
levels of stress and depression experienced as it unfolds. Some previous research has suggested that a certain gene variation is associated with greater risk of “complicated grief,” especially in women. Cozza said a final report isn’t expected until 2017, and he is encouraging more survivors to sign up for interviews before the cutoff date in late February. “Our interest is understanding what these families need,” he said. “Recognizing the need will allow us to make better policy recommendations as to what sort of services would be appropriate for them.” The questionnaires and faceto-face interviews are being handled by eight field researchers based in regions spanning the country. Jill Harrington, the senior field researcher, said the team members are experienced in dealing with grief and wellversed in military culture. While bereaved military families share much in common with other grieving families, there are distinctive aspects to many military deaths. Whether in combat, or by accident or suicide, they often occur suddenly, and many of the deceased are in their 20s or 30s. “These are young families — a lot of single parents raising kids alone,” said Harrington. “When someone dies young, there’s a loss of the future. How do you live with that loss in your life?” Some insight on that question will be provided by the roughly 100 children, ages 6 to 18, who are participating in the study. Most are the sons or daughters of deceased service members; a few are younger siblings. “Many of these children, when their parent died, were very young and didn’t know them well,” said Cozza. According to preliminary findings, he said, a factor helping them weather the loss was having pride in their departed parent’s military service. The website for the study encourages bereaved parents to let their children participate,

while acknowledging that the one-on-one interviews, lasting 90 minutes to three hours, cover sensitive matters. “The field researchers are trained to recognize when a child is upset and will periodically ask your child if he/she is okay to continue,” the website says. “If your child becomes upset, he/she can decide to stop the interview at any time.” Chad Wriglesworth initially joined the Air Force and was deployed to Iraq in 2008. He transferred to the Army in 2009, and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2011. According to his wife, he began reporting lumps on various parts of his body starting in 2011 and was diagnosed in 2012 with Stage 4 melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. The military, without being more specific, ruled that the major’s death occurred in the line of duty; his wife believes the cancer was caused by his exposure to toxic fumes from open-air

“burn pits” in Iraq that were used to destroy waste at U.S. bases. Another study participant is Ryan Manion Borek, whose brother, Marine Lt. Travis Manion, was killed in combat in Iraq in 2007. Borek now heads a foundation named after her brother, which seeks to assist veterans, as well as families of fallen service members. Borek expressed hope that the study’s findings will reflect the wide range of ways in which survivors respond to the deaths of their loved ones. “We don’t all fit into the same box,” she said. “That’s the beauty of doing a study like this — we can begin to understand all the different ways people are dealing with their loss.”

Ringside: Will 2015 be year we rise to top? Continued from Page A-1 Debating the wisdom of Martinez’s selection should be the first priority this month for the state Senate, which has the power to confirm or reject Cabinet nominees. The taxpaying public also should weigh in, but without threats or bullying. The last line of Mark Harris’ novel Bang the Drum Slowly should be the guidepost for debate on this appointment and every contentious issue. Harris’ book was about baseball players and their derision of a slow-witted teammate who eventually died of Hodgkin’s disease. This led one of the players to say, “From here on in, I rag nobody.”
Real openness Gov. Martinez promised the most transparent administration in state history. I look forward to seeing it during her second term because she didn’t deliver during her first four years. Even a routine question late last month about the status of one of Martinez’s regents at The University of New Mexico was met with stony silence.
No Spaceport subsidies More than $200 million of taxpayers’ money has been spent on Spaceport America, most of it by residents of Sierra and Doña Ana counties. Still, no flights from New Mexico have been launched by the anchor tenant, Virgin Galactic. Progress may be slowed even more because a test flight by Virgin Galactic crashed two months ago in California’s Mojave Desert. One pilot died and the other was injured. Space tourism is the kind of risky startup enterprise that typically would seek more public money to get off the ground after a disaster. Smart public policy requires that the Spaceport stand on its own. Virgin Galactic is headed by an uncommonly wealthy man. This is his venture, his vision and his responsibility.
Bottoms up New Mexico seems to score high on all the bad lists. It’s time for the state to make a good one. New Mexico usually is in or near the cellar on surveys that say a lot about quality of life and commitment to education. One national ranking on child well-being traditionally has New Mexico and Mississippi in a pitiful competition to avoid being 50th, or dead last, in America. State politicians are polarized on how to expand education for
infants and toddlers. Science has shown that reaching kids at the earliest stages is critical to their success in adulthood, and it’s vital to building a strong economy. But the political reality is that the money won’t come from the state’s $14 billion land grant endowment, the fund that so many politicians want to tap and so many others intend to keep intact. Finding an alternative way to expand and pay for early childhood education will put New Mexico high on a list that matters.
Ending the AG’s sluggish ways Former state Attorney General Gary King was slow and stodgy. It took him six months to offer an opinion that Martinez had wrongly blocked $13 million for 122 capital construction projects that were already included in a duly approved state budget. “The governor is not permitted under current law and the separation of powers mandated by the New Mexico Constitution to unilaterally withhold capital outlay funds properly appropriated by the Legislature,” King finally said. But jobs were lost and community improvements stalled in this dispute over audits. The new attorney general, Democrat Hector Balderas, doesn’t have a tough act to follow. Every wish list has to include Balderas doing the routine but important work of making sure government isn’t stuck in quicksand because of infighting.
Protecting the public trust A scandal tarred Santa Fe County, and the public official who caused it to happen should receive the harshest punishment. Former public works director, James Lujan, took bribes to channel work to a road contractor. Lujan pleaded guilty and became a witness for the prosecution, which convicted the contractor. Both are culpable, and both must be punished. But there would have been no looting of the public treasury if Lujan had done his job honestly. Lujan helped the district attorney only to help himself. The stiffest penalty should be his. Ringside Seat is a column about New Mexico’s people, politics and news. Follow the Ringside Seat blog at www. santafenewmexican.com.

Convicted: Similar bill failed last year Continued from Page A-1 the bill, Moore said, was that of former state Treasurer Robert Vigil, convicted on a charge of attempted extortion. In 2006, The Associated Press reported that Vigil had “dipped into his campaign account … to pay more than $35,000 in expenses, including unspecified travel and a public opinion poll not long before his public corruption trial in federal court.” Vigil, facing possible impeachment by the Legislature, resigned his post months before he was convicted. Last year, a fiscal impact report on a similar bill proposed by Moores, noted that the
Attorney General’s Office had questioned the constitutionality of the forfeiture section. That part of the bill “raises questions under the First Amendment, since according to the [Attorney General’s Office], such contributions constitute protected First Amendment speech.” Under Moores’ bill, public offices are defined as elected offices, Cabinet secretaries and appointed members of state boards and commissions.

Morale: Some police officers feel betrayed Continued from Page A-1 Eric Garner, a Staten Island man who died in July after an officer put him in a chokehold. When a grand jury declined to indict the officer in Garner’s death, de Blasio vowed to investigate the incident and to seek reforms in the department. He further angered some police when he said that he has warned his biracial son to take special care when interacting with officers. Tensions escalated with the deaths Ramos and Liu. Police officers turned their backs on the mayor when he visited the hospital where the two had been taken after the shooting, and they did so again on Dec. 27 when de Blasio spoke at Ramos’ funeral and on Sunday. Patrick Lynch, the president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, the city’s largest police union, spoke of “blood on many hands,” citing “the office of the mayor” and those had taken to the streets to protest Garner’s death. Other high-profile law enforcement and political figures, including former New York Police Department commissioner Bernard Kerik, former mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former governor George Pataki, took to the cable news circuit and social media to blast de Blasio, Obama, Holder and civil rights activist Al Sharpton for contributing to a climate of mistrust and hostility toward the police. New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, speaking on Meet the Press a day after Ramos’ funeral, said the anger around policing was the “tip of the iceberg.” Asked about the role of Obama and Holder in the current climate, Bratton said officers “feel that they are under attack from the federal government at the highest level” and that it was necessary for the president and the attorney general to “see the police.” “See why they have the anxieties and perceptions they have,” Bratton said. “We have a lot of talking we’re going to have to do here to understand all sides of the issue. This is not a one-sided issue.” Some officers were quick to argue that only Brinsley is to blame for the deaths of Ramos and Liu. “People are responsible for their own actions,” said Lt. Lee Rankin of the Mesa, Ariz., police. “I’m sure whenever federal officials have spoken out, they have done so to try to make things better. At the end of the day, I shouldn’t, the president shouldn’t, be able to influence people to go out and commit murder.” Still, many officers said that elected officials could have better chosen their words when responding to concerns about aggressive police tactics and should have stressed that the majority of officers are good. Delroy Burton, chairman of the District of Columbia police officers union, said that Holder “gave the impression that he was against us. Like there aren’t two sides to this.” Burton said the attorney general also should have said publicly that it was important to get input from police officers when he announced in August that he was heading to Ferguson, Mo., to meet with community leaders after the police shooting of Michael
Brown. The death of the teenager set off sometimes-violent protests in the St. Louis suburb and drew attention nationwide. And when Obama announced federal funding to buy body cameras for police — a step supported by many officers — Burton said the president’s tone came across as antagonistic. “He could have said, ‘We are going to help you weed out the bad guys from your profession. We know the vast majority of you are out there doing the right thing,’ ” Burton said. Obama has often acknowledged that point, including in an interview last month on BET when he said, “The vast majority of law enforcement officers are doing a really tough job, and most of them are doing it well and are trying to do the right thing.” He also has repeatedly said that some communities of color don’t believe they are treated fairly by police. Several officers point to recently released data from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund that shows an increase in the number of officers who have died in the line of duty. In 2013, there were 102 officers killed on the job. In 2014, the number rose was 126 — an increase of 24 percent. Ambushstyle attacks were the leading cause of death in killings that happened during the commission of a felony, a total of 15. Just one day after the two NYPD officers were killed, an officer in Tarpon Springs, Fla., was shot and killed in the line of duty. “The recent incidents in New York and Florida are a reminder of how vulnerable members of law enforcement are simply because of the uniform we wear and that we must always remain vigilant,” said, Cathy Lanier, chief of police in Washington, D.C. She noted that, on Christmas Eve alone, officers in Washington confronted armed suspected in two separate incidents and, in October, a D.C. officer was targeted in an ax attack. “We are in the midst of difficult times,” Lanier said. Police officials in cities such as St. Louis, where protests have happened almost daily since August, say many of their officers are tired of the scrutiny and exhausted by the long hours worked to police the protests. In response, law enforcement families in several cities have organized “Sea of Blue” and “Blue Lives Matter” demonstrations in recent weeks. More are planned in the coming months. “There has been so much negative publicity, we wanted our officers to know that the community is behind them,” said Mary Jo Graves, a police dispatcher in Cleveland’s Brooklyn neighborhood, an area that is home to scores of Cleveland police officers. On Facebook last month, Graves asked people to meet her in downtown Cleveland for a rally in support of police. She had hoped for 100 people; more than 4,000 showed up. “I think people are finally fed up,” Graves said. “Our officers are good people who go out there to do good. Are there some things that need to be
changed in law enforcement? Maybe. But it’s important that our officers know they have their community’s support.” After the success of the Cleveland rally and march, several cities reached out to Graves about setting up similar actions. On Jan. 17, a Sea of Blue march will be held in Washington. The march, organized with Graves’ help by the wife of a Washington officer, will go from the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial at Judiciary Square to the Capitol. Protesters and activists have pointed to the Obama administration’s creation of the Task Force on 21st Century Policing as a possible solution to the ongoing clashes, but some officers have expressed skepticism, noting that although it includes several police officials and police union leaders, the task force does not include any rank-and-file officers. The administration has insisted that officers nationwide are ready and willing to conduct careful self-scrutiny and examine policing policies and practices that may have contributed to tensions. “It’s tough right now, because obviously rank-and-file officers feel like everything is focused on them,” Ron Davis, director of the Community Oriented Policing Services Office at the Department of Justice said during a call with a reporters last month. Davis is overseeing the task force Davis said he hopes that, by taking a heated and emotional conversation that has taken place in public and formalizing it, the task force will be able to ask tough questions and find common ground and solutions between law enforcement and the minority communities that have fueled the protests. And despite some vocal critics of the Black Lives Matter demonstrations that have continued in several cities across the country, not all rank-and-file officers are offended by the protests. Officers also are split about what, if any, reforms are necessary to better police minority communities. “You’ve got the full variety of opinions within NYPD, from zero to 100,” said Keith Santhian, who retired from the force in 2011 after 25 years. He said that officers who he has spoken with have not been unified in their views on the protests, the shootings or the clashes between de Blasio and the union. The differences in opinion also cross racial lines, noted Santhian, who is black. While some may expect minority officers to be more sympathetic to the protests, several he has talked to have been the most angered by them. Meanwhile, some of the white officers Santhian has spoken with have been the most adamant that police reform and improved community relations are needed. “It’s two different police departments inside those walls,” Santhian said. “There are officers who really feel that the mayor has turned his back on the police department and that they are in increased danger. And then there are the officers who go home and tell their sons the same things that the mayor said he told his — if you’re black, be careful around police.”
Burglary: Police say several residents in the area identified Duran Continued from Page A-1 Duran, who told police she is unemployed, did not resist arrest, Dobyns said. She was identified by several residents in the area. When a police officer showed the anonymous neighbor a photo of Duran, he said she looks like the woman who knocked on his door one day in the fall to ask for a ride to Maez Road. A few days later, he said, the woman returned to his house and attempted to break
into his daughter’s bedroom during the day but was frightened off by the man’s wife, who was home at the time. The man said he since has put a padlock on the front door and installed security cameras on the property. Padlocks, “beware of dog” signs, dogs, security cameras and spotlights can be spotted on many properties in the area. Daniel Werwath, who said he has lived on Agua Fría Street for about six
years, said burglaries and attempted burglaries in the area are “pretty common.” Several weeks ago, someone stole three bicycles from his property and took an iPad from one of his vehicles parked out front. On Saturday, he said, a young woman with dark hair stopped by his place to ask him for a ride. “People stop by here a lot saying, ‘We’re looking for a dog,’ or ‘I need a ride,’ ” he said. He believes they are
actually casing the place. Police have charged Duran with aggravated burglary, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia, concealing her identity and criminal damage. She also had three outstanding court warrants for her arrest, Dobyns said, adding that Duran has an extensive criminal history. Online court records show Duran has been charged with various crimes, including burglary, larceny and conspir-
acy to commit a crime, dating back to at least 2005. In some cases, prosecutors dismissed the charges, according to the online records. The latest charge, of burglary in September, lead to an arrest warrant for failure to appear in court last month. Police advise anyone who sees suspicious activity to call them at 428-3710 or, if it is an emergency, 911. Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021.

Bebés del Año Nuevo: Llegan con torta bajo el brazo Por Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican
os bebés en Santa Fe tomaron su tiempo para llegar en este Año Nuevo. Mientras otros bebés en el país nacían en la madrugada del 1 de enero, el primer bebé en Santa Fe no llegó hasta las 5:11 p.m., cuando Danielle Nieto, 22, de San Felipe Pueblo, dio a luz a su tercer hijo, un varón, en el hospital Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. Luego a las 4 a.m. del viernes, Elizabeth Alfaro, 32, dio a luz a su hijo, Arthur (nombrado como su padre Arturo), en su hogar con la ayuda de dos parteras. El primer niño nacido en casa del 2015 pesó 7 libras con 7.5 onzas y midió 19 pulgadas de largo — mucho fácil de alumbrar que su hermanos, comentó su madre. El primer bebé en nacer en Nuevo México fue Angelo Oros en Farmington, 45 segundos después de la media noche, reportó KRQE-TV. “Generalmente nacen en medio de la noche,” dice Mandi Kane, vocera de Christus St. Vincent, refiriéndose al año anterior, con el primer bebé nacido justo después de la medianoche del 1 de enero. El hijo de Nieto, que pesó 6 libras con 2 onzas, midió también 19 pulgadas. Siguiendo las tradiciones Pueblo, los padrinos del bebé lo nombraran después de dos semanas durante una fiesta, comentó Nieto. “Estamos sorprendidos de su nacimiento [el día primero],” dijo Nieto. La fecha de alumbramiento era para el 2 de enero. “Creo que tenía un poco de prisa.” Arturo fue el único bebé nacido en el hospital el jueves. Nieto, que ingresó al hospital el miércoles, fue asistida por una de las parteras del hospital para dar a luz. Mientras alimentaba al niño y le susurraba en Keres, el papá del bebé, Zach Candelaria, 22, de Santa Domingo Pueblo, comentó el viernes que no le importaba si era niña o niño, lo importante es que está sano. Kane comentó que no sabe si la fundación del hospital proveerá al bebé de nieto de obsequios, como es común en los hospitales para los bebés del Año Nuevo.

El grupo Community Health Systems con base en Tennessee, que administra 207 instalaciones de servicios de salud, incluyendo seis en Nuevo México, dio la orden a los hospitales de no publicar los nombres de los bebés del año nuevo.

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

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

the American Taxpayer Relief Act, the Internal Revenue Service announced that it plans to open the 2013 filing season and begin processing individual income tax returns on Jan. 30. The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on that date after updating forms and completing programming and testing of its processing systems. This will reflect the bulk of the late tax law changes enacted Jan. 2. The announcement means that the vast majority of tax filers — more than 120 million households — should be able to start filing tax returns starting Jan 30. The IRS estimates that remaining households will be able to start filing in late February or into March because of the need for more extensive form and processing systems changes. This group includes people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. Most of those in this group file more complex tax returns and typically file closer to the April 15 deadline or obtain an extension.

COMMENTARY
Crooks target businesses with creative scams By Fidel Gutierrez Senior vice president, Los Alamos National Bank
In an age when many products sell in cyberspace and the buyer and seller never meet, creative crooks are finding new ways to defraud businesses — especially Web-based businesses and individuals selling items through online platforms. One scheme involves counterfeit versions of a time-honored currency — the cashier’s check. Scammers commit cashier’s check fraud using an authentic-looking cashier’s check to buy a product. The seller deposits the check, and her account is charged for the amount when the check bounces back to the bank as a fake. Another version of this scam involves checks written for more than the sales price. The “buyer” typically asks the seller to remit the excess funds via a wire transfer or Western
Union, offering a superficially plausible reason for the overpayment. When the phony check bounces, the seller is liable for the entire amount. While this scam usually targets individuals, businesses also can fall prey. To protect themselves, businesses should accept only easily verifiable payment methods. Scams directed at businesses often exploit new technology to commit classic crimes. Some crooks use bogus checks they design on a computer and print out at home. Others steal checks from the mail — especially mail left in unlocked mailboxes or even overstuffed curbside mailboxes — and use them to make purchases or get cash before the bank alerts the victim that her account is overdrawn. Some thieves “wash” the checks, removing the intended recipient’s name and substituting their own. Stolen checks also can become templates

for new checks bearing the account holder’s account number and information. Even a deposit slip provides enough information for a scammer to use the routing number and account number to divert money from the account holder’s account to an account of his making. When phony checks are used at a business, both the actual account holder and the business are victims. For this reason, many merchants are rejecting checks from people they don’t know and accepting payment only by credit card, debit card or cash. Other common scams involve tampering with merchandise to obtain refunds or to get big-ticket items for small-ticket prices. One ploy is to swap a price tag or bar code from an inexpensive commodity and place it on an expensive one, hoping an inattentive or distracted cashier doesn’t notice the

switcheroo. Or the scammer can attempt to attach the big-ticket bar code to something she bought earlier and returned it to the store for a refund. Checkout clerks and returns department employees should be trained to compare bar code data against the item being returned or purchased. Crimes like this can devastate a business, especially a small one with limited resources.

French President Francois Hollande appears in a taped address to wish his nation a happy New Year’s. Hollande wasn’t happy when a court struck down his 75 percent tax on millionaires, one of his main campaign promises. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Constitutional Court ruled on Dec. 29 that Hollande’s 75 percent band wasn’t acceptable because it applied to individuals, when French income taxes are generally based on household revenue. As a result, two households with the same total income could end up paying different rates depend-
ing on how earnings are divided among their members, counter to the rule of equal tax treatment, the Paris-based court said. Actor Gerard Depardieu, France’s highest-profile tax exile, said the ruling changes nothing, Le Parisien reported Sunday. Depardieu, who is moving to the Belgian

though they understood that it was an almost sure way to end up losing money. They thought earning a negative real rate of return, given inflation, was an acceptable way to go mostly because it was the only sure way to go. While they realized it was a bad option, many of these young people were so suspicious of the market-based alternatives that it gave them comfort to know they would only lose a little and not all of it.

ust before Christmas, I traveled to one of Santa Fe’s established charter schools to speak to a group of high school seniors who are studying economics and how money works. I asked each of them how they would invest $1,000 in cash, given current circumstances. I was surprised at how many of the students opted to keep their hypothetical long-term investment funds in a bank savings account or CD; even

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

trust someone, but they have triedand-true experience.” Duran said that she first met the Rogosins through St. John’s College, where the husband serves as the artist-in-residence. She now works closely with the couple as a piano teacher. As far as services provided go, the Rogosins cover the gamut of performing arts including voice work, acting classes and dance lessons. Classes generally cost $55 for a month’s worth of weekly sessions. They also provide adult acting classes and private lessons. The building is a work in progress, but the wide-open rooms will allow for plenty of activity, Eileen Rogosin said. The two also said multiple times that they were more interested in the process of learning rather than just putting on a show every few months, as is the case with some dance studios.
“The goal’s incidental to the process,” Roy Rogosin said. “We’re not interested in growing them to be stars.” And though stardom may not be the couple’s interest, they have mentored many Broadway performers, including Book of Mormon stand-by Stephen Mark Lukas. Additionally, the couple started a performing arts camp in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. That camp has been going strong for 27 years, and the Rogosins have brought that camp idea to Santa Fe, specifically at the Greer Garson Theatre Center at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design. The workshops also bring in would-be students, such as Gabby Ottersberg, 16, who described camp as “week of doing everything you love.” The New Mexico School for the Arts student has since worked with
the Rogosins whenever she gets the chance, including Saturday when she was auditioning for Rosogins’ production of Les Misérables. She was among other applicants, all who sang praises of the duo. Ottersberg also had previously met the Rogosins at Monte Del Sol, where Roy Rogosin still teaches. He also taught at the New Mexico School for the Arts in its first year. Eileen Rogosin said the school has about 30 students from Santa Fe, Los Alamos and even Rio Rancho, which she said is a good start given the studio has only been open since October. For the future, they plan to expand the school — then maybe retire again. “We really want to build something that will take care of itself,” Roy Rogosin said.

ith the rise of the new McDonald’s on a Cerrillos Road portion of the 550-acre Las Soleras property, there is speculation about what else might be coming to the city’s new south side. James Siebert, the planning and design consultant working for property owners John J. Mahoney and Skip Skarsgard, said there soon will be a new fire station on the site, and negotiations are moving forward with Taco Bell. In addition to McDonald’s, a State Employees Credit Union branch and a Murphy gas station and convenience store are now open along Cerrillos Road across from the Wal-Mart Supercenter. Heather Lamboy, the city planner reviewing the project, adds there have been meetings about an 8,800-square-foot commercial center that would host smaller tenants and accommodate a mix of office and commercial space. That would be sited along I-25 next to Fashion Outlets of Santa Fe. Of course, the big question is what Presbyterian Healthcare Services will do with its 40-acre parcel, which sits in the middle of the project. Beckner Road is now finished and extends east to the border of the Presbyterian property, Siebert said. Presbyterian, a nonprofit that writes insurance and provides direct patient care, just opened a new hospital in Rio Rancho, and its corporate energy is focused on making that a success. And Siebert thinks the provider would likely start with an urgent care center, then phase into a hospital, depending on the economics. A spokeswoman for Presbyterian said they are not prepared to discuss their Santa Fe plans at this time. So what would New Mexican readers like to see in the way of a fast-food franchise on the site — something that would be new to Santa Fe? Send me a quick email and I’ll publish the responses.

The New York Times just published an interesting series, “United States of Subsidies,” looking at business incentives and their impact on the economy. The newspaper also has an interactive database by state that shows New Mexico spent $123 per capita on corporate incentives or 4 cents per dollar of the state budget, annually. Oil, gas and mining received the largest share, $163 million, while $47 million was allocated to the film industry; another $8 million went to railroads. The figures are annualized for the years 2004-08. The largest amount during this time went to Lions Gate Entertainment with $99 million in film incentives for the four-year period. The largest grant to a Santa Fe firm went to Simtable, $145,600 for job training. Other firms such as Deep Web Technologies, CleanAIR Systems, NASTRA Automotive, Wildflower International, Jackrabbit Systems, Flow Science, Divine Beauty and Galisteo Capital are on the list for smaller amounts, mostly for similar job-training initiatives.

State universities’ extracurricular opportunities are an asset not well-measured by the college rankings. I got much less out of the courses at my college than I did working for the student newspaper. The most persuasive advocate for giving state universities more respect is Zac Bissonnette, author of Debt-Free U: How I Paid for an Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching Off My Parents. Having built his brokerage account to five figures by the ninth grade, he could have gotten into an Ivy League college easily. He picked instead the University of Massachusetts. He proved in his book that he got at least as good an education as he would have had at Princeton by taking advantage of many underutilized resources at his affordable state university. Check the alma maters of our political and business leaders. There are far more state university grads than selective private school alumni among them. High school students smart enough to see how much there is to learn in public universities should be happy they have so many chances, with less admissions stress and less expense, to assemble the makings of great lives.
Science class overhaul gets results Active approach still slow to catch on at colleges, where traditional lecture-style learning is failing By Richard Pérez-Peña The New York Times
DAVIS, Calif. undreds of students fill the seats, but the lecture hall stays quiet enough for everyone to hear each cough and crumpling piece of paper. The instructor speaks from a podium for nearly the entire 80 minutes. Most students take notes. Some scan the Internet. A few doze. In a nearby hall, instructor Catherine Uvarov peppers students with questions and presses them to explain and expand on their answers. Every few minutes, she has them solve problems in small groups. Running up and down the aisles, she sticks a microphone in front of a startled face, looking for an answer. Students dare not nod off or show up without doing the reading. Both are introductory chemistry classes at the University of California campus here in Davis, but they present a sharp contrast — the traditional and orderly but dull versus the experimental and engaging but noisy. Breaking from practices that many educators say have proved ineffectual, Uvarov’s class is part of an effort at a small but growing number of colleges to transform the way science is taught. “We have not done a good job of teaching the intro courses or gateway courses in science and math,” said Hunter R. Rawlings III, president of the Association of American Universities and a former president of Cornell University and the University of Iowa. “Teaching freshmen- and sophomore-level classes has not had a high enough priority, and that has to change.” Multiple studies have shown that students fare better with a more active approach to learning, using some of the tools being adopted here at Davis, while in traditional classes, students often learn less than their teachers think. The University of Colorado, a national leader in the overhaul of teaching science, tested thousands of students over several years, before and after they each took an introductory physics class, and reported in 2008 that students in transformed classes had improved their scores by about 50 percent more than those in traditional classes.

MAX WHITTAKER/THE NEW YORK TIMES
At the University of North Carolina, researchers reported recently that an overhaul of introductory biology classes had increased student performance overall and yielded a particularly beneficial effect for black students and those whose parents did not go to college. Given the strength of the research findings, it seems that universities would be desperately trying to get into the act. They are not. The norm in college classes — especially big introductory science and math classes, which have high failure rates — remains a lecture by a faculty member, often duplicating what is in the assigned reading. There are many explanations, educators say, including the low value placed on teaching, tradition, pride and the belief that science should be the province of a select few. “What drives advancement at universities is publishing research and winning grants,” said Marc T. Facciotti, an associate professor who will teach a revamped biology course here in the winter quarter. “Teaching isn’t a very high priority.” Noah Finkelstein, a physics professor and the director of Colorado’s overhaul efforts, added: “Faculty don’t like being told what to do, and there are people who push back and say they can figure it out on their own and they know what works for them. There’s plenty of data that says they’re mistaken.” Employers and government officials have spent years complaining that there are too few people — and especially too few women and blacks — with degrees in math and science. In fact, there is no shortage of interested students, but failure rates in the beginning classes are high. At four-year colleges,
28 percent of students set out as math, engineering and science majors, but only 16 percent of bachelor’s degrees are awarded in those fields. The attrition rate is highest among women and blacks. “A lot of science faculty have seen themselves as gatekeepers,” said Marco Molinaro, an assistant vice provost here at Davis and director of its effort to overhaul science courses. Rather than try to help students who falter in introductory classes, he said, “they have seen it as their job to weed people out and limit access to upper-level courses.” The project here borrows elements from many sources, including more than a decade of work at the University of Colorado and other institutions; software from the Open Learning Initiative at Carnegie Mellon University; Carl E. Wieman, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist at Stanford who founded Colorado’s project and a parallel effort at the University of British Columbia; Eric Mazur, a Harvard physicist and author of the book Peer Instruction; and Doug Lemov, a former teacher and author of Teach Like a Champion. Many of the ideas — like new uses of technology, requiring students to work in groups and having them do exercises in class rather than just listen to the teacher — have caught on, to varying degrees, in grade schools and high schools. But higher education has been slower to change, especially in giant courses with hundreds of students. While teachers at lower levels receive training in educational theory and teaching methods, most college instructors acquire none. “Higher education has this assumption that if you know your subject, you can teach it, and it’s not true,” Uvarov said. “I see so much that I was missing
before, and that was missing in my own education.” Of course, telling experienced teachers that they need to learn how to teach does not always go over well, especially when they have tenure. So the project here began with graduate students who work as teaching assistants in biology and are required to have extensive training in teaching techniques. For an introductory science course, in addition to giant classes taught by faculty members, there are twice-weekly discussion sessions with two dozen students, led by teaching assistants. “Unlike the profs, we could tell the TAs what to do,” said Christopher Pagliarulo, an associate director of Molinaro’s team. The team tested students’ grasp of basic concepts before and after taking introductory classes, then it showed professors that their students were gaining much less than they had thought — results that convinced some professors of the need for change. “There’s some ego involved, and it’s hard to hear that what you’ve been doing doesn’t necessarily work,” said Mitch Singer, the first University of California, Davis, professor to teach a newstyle introductory biology class, which is underway this quarter after months of preparation. “I think it’s also dawned on some professors that their TAs are now better teachers than they are.” The transition here has barely started — only the biology teaching assistants, plus a few faculty members in biology and chemistry, have undergone any retraining — but already the differences are plain. “It’s already like night and day,” Singer said. “In a few years, it’ll be like day in the summer and night in the winter.”

Viewpoints on education
I
settled on my New Year’s resolution while giving a lecture to 85 master’s students. It was one kid who unintentionally suggested the idea. He was sitting in the back row, silently pecking away at his laptop the entire class. At times, he smiled at his screen. But he rarely looked up at me. I had a choice. I could disrupt the MY VIEW class to single him out. Or I could TAL GROSS do what most teachers in higher education do: just ignore it. After all, these students are adults, and they have to take a final exam. Do I have to be the disciplinarian? When I was a student myself — not that long ago — no one brought laptops to class. I took notes on legal pads, and the remains of those legal pads are still filed away in my office. Today, few students take notes by hand. Since most students can type very quickly, laptops encourage them to copy down nearly everything said in the classroom. But when students stare at the screen of their laptops, something is lost. The students shift from being intellectuals, listening to one another, to being customer-service representatives, taking down orders. Class is supposed to be a conversation, not an exercise in dictation. This is not just vague worrying on my part. There’s now good research on the topic. Take, for instance, a recent study by two psychologists, Pam Mueller at Princeton University and Daniel Oppenheimer at UCLA. Mueller and Oppenheimer asked 67 undergraduates to watch videos of lectures. Half the students were randomly assigned to watch the lectures while taking notes on a laptop, while the other students were asked to watch the lectures while taking notes with paper and pen. Afterward, the students were all given an exam. The students who took notes longhand scored much higher on conceptual questions than did the students who used a laptop. Clay Shirky, a professor at New York Univeristy, recently asked his students to stop using laptops in class. Another recent study convinced him to do so. The title: “Laptop multitasking hinders classroom learning for both users and nearby peers.” A research team in Canada found that laptops in the classroom distracted not only the students who used them, but also students who sat nearby. Meaning, not only do the laptop-using students end up staring at Instagram, but the students behind them do, as well. Both of those research studies suggest that, in the classroom, laptops actually hinder learning. And you don’t need a randomized-controlled study to know that. It’s just hard to focus in front of a laptop. (I checked Twitter twice before finishing that sentence.) Everyone struggles to focus when the Internet is only a click away. So why bring that distraction into the classroom? Granted, laptops have their advantages. But such benefits are surely overwhelmed by the enormous gravitational tug of Facebook and email. And so I’m left with a resolution for the new year: no more electronics in class. On the first day, I’ll describe the research that’s been done, and I’ll ask the students to put away their laptops and their cellphones. Some students might grumble, but they’ll be better off for it. Tal Gross is an assistant professor at Columbia University. This commentary was written as a special to The Washington Post.
Study ties fast food to low test scores By Roberto A. Ferdman The Washington Post
Fast-food consumption isn’t merely connected to increases in pants size — it’s also tied to significant decreases in test scores among schoolchildren, according to a new national study. Researchers at The Ohio State University used data from a nationally representative sample of about 11,700 children to measure how fast food might be affecting classroom performance. The study measured how much fast food the children were eating at age 10 and then compared the consumption levels with test results in reading, math and science three years later. What they found is that even small increases in the frequency with which the students ate fast food were associated with poorer academic test results. Habitual fast-food eaters — those who ate fast food daily — saw “test score gains that were up to about 20 percent lower than those who didn’t eat any fast food.” The connection held true even after the researchers took into account more than a dozen other factors about the children’s habits and backgrounds that might have contributed to the association between fast-food consumption and poorer academic performance, including fitness, socioeconomic status and characteristics of their neighborhoods and schools. Kelly Purtell, the study’s lead author, is careful to point out that while there’s a strong suggestion that feeding children fast food negatively affects their academic performance, the study falls short of establishing a definitive causal connection. Although her team can’t prove the diet quirk caused lower test-score gains, the group insists that fast-food consumption helps explain at least part of the performance gap among the students.

Four hypersonic grid fins are positioned in an X-wing configuration around the Falcon 9 to enable precision targeting for landing. On Tuesday, SpaceX hopes to upend the economics of space travel, by landing the first stage of a rocket intact on a barge floating in the Atlantic Ocean. COURTESY PHOTOS SPACEX VIA THE NEW YORK TIMES
Goal: Landing a rocket on earth SpaceX focuses on reusability by attempting to land spacecraft on a barge in the ocean By Kenneth Chang The New York Times
n rocketry, what goes up usually comes down in pieces. The cost of getting to orbit is exorbitant, because the rocket, with its multimillion-dollar engines, ends up as trash in the ocean after one launching. Elon Musk, the chief executive of the Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX, likens the waste to throwing away a 747 jet after a single transcontinental flight. “Reusability is the critical breakthrough needed in rocketry to take things to the next level,” Musk said in October during a talk at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On Tuesday, his company hopes to upend the economics of space travel. At 6:20 a.m. Eastern time, one of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets is scheduled to lift off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on what is otherwise a routine unmanned cargo run to the International Space Station. But this time, the company will attempt to land the first stage of the rocket intact on a barge floating in the Atlantic Ocean. After the booster falls away and the second stage continues pushing the payload to orbit, its engines will reignite to turn it around and guide it to a spot about 200 miles east of Jacksonville, Fla. SpaceX has attempted similar maneuvers on three earlier Falcon 9 flights, and on the second and third attempts, the rocket slowed to a hover before splashing into the water. “We’ve been able to soft-land the rocket booster in the ocean twice so far,” Musk said. “Unfortunately, it sort of sat there for several seconds, then tipped over and exploded. It’s quite difficult to reuse at that point.” The first rocket stage, Musk noted, is as tall as a 14-story building. “When a 14-story building falls over, it’s quite a belly flop,” he said. “What we need to do is to be able to land on a floating platform.” So SpaceX built a floating platform, 300 feet long and 170 feet wide, for the rocket stage to land on. A new addition to the rocket is a set of “grid fins” that will fold out after separation to help steer the rocket toward the platform. No people will be aboard the barge during the landing attempt. If SpaceX’s gamble succeeds, the company plans to reuse the rocket stage on a later flight. Musk put the chances of success at 50 percent or less. But, he added, over the dozen or so flights scheduled for this year, “I think it’s quite likely, 80 to 90 percent likely, that one of those flights will be able to land and refly.” Eventually, SpaceX would like to land the first stage back at the launch site. A longer-term goal is to recover and reuse the second stage as well, and Musk has predicted that a fully reusable rocket could cut launch costs to a hundredth of what they are now. This NASA cargo mission, SpaceX’s fifth, is carrying more than

5,000 pounds of supplies and equipment, including an IMAX movie camera, a laboratory habitat for studying fruit flies, and an instrument to measure the distribution of clouds as well as particles of dust, smoke and air pollution. After four weeks docked to the space station, the SpaceX cargo capsule will carry experiments, trash and other items back to Earth. This flight is also attracting scrutiny, because the Orbital Sciences Corp., the other company that NASA has hired to ferry cargo to the space station, suffered a catastrophic failure in October when its Antares rocket fell back to the ground moments after liftoff. Among the items destroyed in the explosion were 18 student experiments, part of a program run by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education. Some of the students had traveled to the Orbital’s launching site in eastern Virginia and left crestfallen. But Jeff Goldstein, the director of the center, and Nanoracks, the company that made arrangements for the experiments on the space station, were already working to juggle the manifests on future cargo flights. Three weeks later, 17 of the 18 student teams had recreated their experiments and shipped them to Houston for NASA to add them to the SpaceX payload, then scheduled for launching on Dec. 19. “It was nuts,” Goldstein said. “NASA moved heaven and earth for this.” The 18th team, Goldstein said, decided to modify its experiment, requiring a new safety review. The launching was subsequently postponed after a test firing of the Falcon 9’s nine engines was cut short. After a later successful test firing, the launch date was set for Tuesday.

ith legalized medical marijuana in 23 states and Washington, D.C., you might think that legal use of the plant would not result in the loss of your job or other dire consequences, but you are wrong. This is because federal law still classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, which means it has no approved medical uses. Drugs and other substances that are considered controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act are divided into five schedules. Schedule I controlled substances are considered to have no currently accepted medical use in the U.S., a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of other substances listed in Schedule I include: heroin, LSD, peyote, methaqualone and Ecstasy. Andy In 2011, Albuquerque PsychiatWinnegar ric Nurse Bryan Krumm sued the Understanding Gov. Susana Martinez administraDisability tion after overruling the Medical Advisory Board decision to make all major depressive disorders eligible for the medicalcannabis program. Kruum lost his case on appeal on Dec. 12 when the Tenth Circuit Court upheld the district court ruling that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to decide the claim that marijuana is improperly classified. Several cases of employment discrimination also have upheld the employer’s right to fire an employee, even those who are suggested to use legal medical marijuana with doctor’s prescription. Legal medical marijuana use protects the individual from criminal prosecution, but not from employer drug testing programs, denial of employment or promotional opportunities. If you were taking a legally prescribed drug, you would most likely be protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Yet, this protection isn’t extended to medical marijuana. The use of marijuana still remains illegal in the federal courts, therefore, there is no protection under the ADA. The 9th Circuit held that because Congress made it clear that the ADA defines “illegal drug use” based strictly upon federal law, not state law, the ADA’s exclusion of illegal drug users from its protections also excludes users of medical marijuana, even where the marijuana usage is permitted by state law. Under the ADA, an applicant or employee who is currently engaging in the illegal use of drugs is not within the definition of a “qualified individual with a disability” and as a result receives no protection under the ADA when denied employment or employment is terminated because of medical marijuana use. The ruling of the federal courts further affirms that applicants or employees will most likely not be able to assert successful claims for discrimination based on their disability or requests for accommodations using medical marijuana. A reasonable accommodation is the modification or adjustment of the job application process, interviewing process or employment for a qualified person with a disability. To qualify for a reasonable accommodation, the employee or job applicant must request it. However even if the use of medical marijuana would provide relief from the effects of glaucoma, cancer, depression or other conditions the courts have held that a person’s right to use marijuana for certain medical conditions doesn’t extend to a right to an employer accommodation. Similarly, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 8-0 that claims of medical necessity for marijuana use were not supported by the Controlled Substances Act, even though California had approved such use in a 1996 voter initiative. The ADA prohibits discrimination against employees with disabilities. A disability is a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a person’s major life activities, including major bodily functions. Since the ADA explicitly does not protect employees who use illegal drugs and federal law classifies marijuana as such, these contradictory “Catch-22” situations will continue until changes are made to the Controlled Substances Act.

Five minutes of a low level of activity is usually enough, but for more intense exercise, a two-step warm-up might be smart. When you’re finished, remove your cold, wet clothes in exchange for something warm and dry as soon as possible. A hot shower might be tempting, but a warm shower is a better idea. If your skin is chilled and a bit numb, you might not know that the shower is actually too hot.

In brief Officials question Navajo spending GALLUP — Some officials are questioning the Navajo Nation’s claim it has spent more than $1 million operating a Gallup detox facility. The Gallup Independent reports that the Navajo Nation Department of Behavioral Health Services says $1.6 million was spent in the first year of operation of the Gallup Detox Center. State Sen. George Munoz, a Democrat from Gallup, and Gallup Mayor Jackie McKinney say they have not seen any documentation showing money spent and what it was spent on. Munoz claims he was told in
mid-December that half a million dollars had been spent. Health Service Administrator Theresa Galvan says the figure was updated to include purchases of new furniture and equipment.
Carlsbad Caverns reopens to public CARLSBAD — Carlsbad Caverns National Park in southeastern New Mexico near the Texas line is open again a day after hazardous roads compelled the park to close. Park officials say Carlsbad Caverns was open Sunday under its regular winter hours of 8 a.m. through 5 p.m. Icy roads inside the park and the shutdown of U.S. 62/180 south of Carlsbad forced the park to shut down Saturday.

Face: Doodlet’s also named as defendant Continued from Page A-1 refrain from abuse or even use of alcohol and illicit drugs and has set an example that the issue is a very serious one that destroys families and lives.” Vigil and her husband, who have two grown children, operate an auto-restoration business in Española. Vigil’s attorney, Blair Dunn, said he wasn’t sure which high school Vigil graduated from but believed it was either Española High School or Pojoaque High School. Dunn said Vigil’s daughter came across the flask — which features a young Vigil sporting a beehive-inspired hairdo — while vacationing in Florida. The product was not listed on Taintor’s website Friday, but it was offered on Amazon for prices ranging from $21.95 to $25.29. Anne Taintor Inc. founder Anne Taintor is a Harvard University graduate who, according to the company’s website, has been “making smart people smile since 1985” by selling a variety of products that juxtapose vintage pictures of stereotypically portrayed women with sarcastic slogans that seem to reflect what they might be thinking. “It’s okay, I didn’t want a real life anyway” and “Make your own damn dinner” are some of the slogans the company has used in conjunction with pictures of smiling housewives on a variety of products, including mugs, flasks, sticky notes, towels, calendars and phone cases. Taintor began the company — which is celebrating its 30th anniversary and boasts 3,000 outlets in 25 countries — in Maine. But she operated the business from Coyote, N.M., where she lived for about a decade before returning to Maine a few years ago. A message left at her New York City office was not returned. Her Albuquerque-based attorney
could not be reached Friday. Dunn said Doodlet’s — a Santa Fe toy store and gift shop that has been in business since 1955 — is named in the complaint because the store has sold the flask and thousands of other Taintor products over the years. Store owners did not return a call from The New Mexican, but they said in an answer to the complaint that they have never sold Taintor products bearing Vigil’s image and that they should not be a party in the suit. Dunn said other New Mexico outlets, including Talin Market in Albuquerque and Costco, also have carried products with Vigil’s image. Taintor Inc. has had the case moved to U.S. District Court on the basis that the company is no longer located in New Mexico (cases such as these can only be moved to federal court if the parties live in different states). But Dunn said he’s trying to have the case moved back to the First Judicial District partially because he thinks a local jury would be better able to understand the harm the products have brought to Vigil’s reputation. The use of the image has led others to think that Vigil “either has a problem with drugs and alcohol personally, or she condones the use of her image to make light of an important social issue that affects her community,” according to the complaint, and this use has caused her to be “held up to scorn and contempt.” The suit, which charges Taintor with defamation, invasion of privacy and unfair trade practices, seeks an unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages.

Coyote hunting billed as an event is a common practice around the state. In November, a Roswell gun shop drew criticism for hosting a competition where the prize was two assault rifles. A state House bill prohibiting coyote hunting contests failed in the 2013 legislative session. Organizers of hunting clubs have said they have the right to hunt and hunting coyotes is not illegal. Currently, there are no limits on how many animals can be killed. California became the first
state last month to ban wildlifekilling competitions. Environmentalists in New Mexico say their proposed bill would not ban killing coyotes that threaten livestock or pets. “They are commercial events: killing animals for the purpose of entertainment, prizes and publicity,” said Guy Dicharry of the Los Lunas-based Wildlife Conservation and Advocacy Southwest. “You’re really out there trying to win. This is not focused on predator management. It’s random.”

Let kids weigh in on children’s song
W
hile I appreciate the sentiment of Rep. Bill McCamley’s efforts to create a State Children’s Song (“A children’s song? Just what this state needs,” Roundhouse Roundup, Dec. 21), what seems to be missing from this bill is any chance for the children of the state to weigh in on choosing the song. The one picked by Rep. McCamley is cute, but it’s only one of many songs created in this state by talented teachers and sung by their students. To make this particular song the song that represents all children in New Mexico is unfair to the rest of the kids across the state whose opinions are being totally disregarded. Rep. McCamley’s idea for a children’s song probably wasn’t something that he expected to be controversial. But this particular choice seems motivated by pleasing his constituents rather than doing a service for all the
children in the state. I’d love to be part of setting up a system to fairly choose the State Children’s Song, but I would defer to the kids themselves to decide which song represents them. Katie Stone

Student success The Council on International Relations wishes to recognize the students, teachers and schools who sent student teams to the sixth annual CIR Fall Summit. The student teams delivered very polished, professional PowerPoint presentations on the topic of the Cold War. They organized charts, graphs, maps and political images to discuss and illustrate the many points of competition between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The summit covered many issues
but included the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, the space and arms race, the Cuban Missile Crisis, proxy wars, and freedom and resistance fighters. Each team’s presentation was augmented by discussion and dialogue from experienced CIR foreign service officers. The schools participating were Santa Fe High (two teams), The MASTERS Program, Monte del Sol, Desert Academy and Santa Fe Indian School. We also recognize and thank the parents who attended and participated in the dialogue. Jeff Case Ph.D.

Prosecute torturers I want to thank The New Mexican for running The New York Times editorial (“Prosecute those who torture,” Another View, Dec. 27). I agree fully with the argument
that the only way to prevent criminal, pathological behavior at the highest levels in government on down is to prosecute those who break our laws and treaties. I would think that the dedication to law and by implication, to a civil society, should attract support from all sides of the political spectrum except, of course, from extremists and fascists who operate on the fringe or outside the law. It has been clear for a long time and now confirmed by the exhaustive and thorough investigative work at the highest levels that those who ordered torture and manipulated the system to get their way acted in a disgraceful manner. I love my country and want to be proud of it again. Torture as sanctioned public policy should be addressed, corrected and prevented from re-emerging as policy in the future. John Kohn

COMMENTARY: JOSEPH A. CALIFANO JR.
Again, Hollywood gets its facts wrong
W
hat’s wrong with Hollywood? The makers of the new movie Selma apparently just couldn’t resist taking dramatic, trumpedup license with a true story that didn’t need any embellishment to work as a bigscreen historical drama. As a result, the film falsely portrays President Lyndon B. Johnson as being at odds with Martin Luther King Jr. and even using the FBI to discredit him, as only reluctantly behind the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and as opposed to the Selma march itself. In fact, Selma was LBJ’s idea. He also considered the Voting Rights Act his greatest legislative achievement, he viewed King as an essential partner in getting it enacted — and he didn’t use the FBI to disparage him. On Jan. 15, 1965, LBJ talked to King by telephone about his intention to send a voting rights act to Congress: “There is not going to be anything as effective, though, Doctor, as all [blacks] voting.” Johnson then articulated a strategy for drawing attention to the injustice of using literacy tests and other barriers to stop black Southerners from voting. “We take the position,” he said, “that every person born in this country, when he reaches a certain age, that he have a right to vote … whether it’s a Negro, whether it’s a Mexican, or who it is … . I think you can contribute a great deal by getting your leaders and you, yourself, taking very simple examples of discrimination; where a [black] man’s got … to quote the first 10 Amendments … and some people don’t have to do that, but when a Negro comes in he’s got to do it, and if we can, just repeat and repeat and repeat. “And if you can find the worst condition that you run into in Alabama, Mis-
sissippi or Louisiana or South Carolina … and if you just take that one illustration and get it on radio, get it on television, get it in the pulpits, get it in the meetings, get it everyplace you can. Pretty soon the fellow that didn’t do anything but drive a tractor will say, ‘Well, that’s not right, that’s not fair,’ and then that will help us on what we’re going to shove through [Congress] in the end.” King agreed, and LBJ added, sealing the deal, “And if we do that we will break through. It will be the greatest breakthrough of anything, not even excepting this ’64 [Civil Rights] Act, I think the greatest achievement of my administration.” Selma was the worst place King could find. Johnson met with King on Feb. 9 and heard about King’s choice, a place where just 335 of about 10,000 registered voters were black — despite a population that was 60 percent African American. Johnson thought the public pressure generated by a march from Selma to Montgomery, the capital of Alabama, would be helpful, and he hoped there would be no violence. But there was. On March 7, march leader John Lewis was clubbed to the ground; two days later, when another march attempt was staged, a white minister from Boston was killed. Summoned to the White House, Alabama Gov. George Wallace told LBJ that he couldn’t protect the marchers. That gave the president the opportunity to federalize the Alabama National Guard to protect them. On March 15, Johnson addressed a joint session of Congress to propose his Voting Rights Act. When the president intoned the anthem of the civil rights movement, “And we shall overcome,” John Lewis, watching the address on television with

King, said that King cried. When the march resumed a third time, on March 17, Johnson made sure the demonstrators would be protected. I was then Defense Secretary Robert McNamara’s special assistant. My job was to report to the White House every couple of hours on the progress and protection of the marchers until they reached Montgomery. For the truth about Johnson, the Voting Rights Act and Selma, listen to the tape of the LBJ-MLK telephone conversation and read my numerous reports to the White House, which have been on the LBJ Presidential Library website for years. All this material was publicly available to the producers, the writer of the screenplay and the director of this film. Why didn’t they use it? Did they feel no obligation to check the facts? Did they consider themselves free to fill the screen with falsehoods, immune from any responsibility to the dead, just because they thought it made for a better story? Contrary to the portrait painted by Selma, Lyndon Johnson and Martin Luther King Jr. were partners in this effort. Johnson was enthusiastic about voting rights and the president urged King to find a place like Selma and lead a major demonstration. That’s three strikes for Selma. The movie should be ruled out during the awards season. Joseph A. Califano Jr. was President Lyndon B. Johnson’s top assistant for domestic affairs from 1965 to 1969. He wrote this commentary for The Washington Post.
he flu season has hit epidemic proportions, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with as many as 15 children dead across the country because of influenza. However, it’s too early to determine just how severe the epidemic might be. Flu generally peaks in January anyway and could peter off. In one week, however, the states reporting a “high” level of influenza activity jumped from 13 to 22. New Mexico is still in the moderate range. (An epidemic level results from the proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influence reaches a certain level; in this case, 6.8 percent.) The severity of the season should prompt people — especially those most at risk, the elderly and the chronically ill — to get vaccinated, if they haven’t already. People who do come down with flu symptoms should seek treatment, getting antiviral medicine from a doctor. Treatment is essential because the vaccine, which works against some strains of influenza, seems to be limited in its ability to combat this year’s common flu strain (H3N2). Even so, fewer than 1 in 6 people infected by the flu virus receive antiviral treatment, according to the CDC. The treatment needs to be started within two days of the appearance of flu symptoms. Prevention is about more than vaccinations, of course. After a busy, stressful holiday season, with lots of goodies and less exercise, people’s immune systems likely are weaker than usual. This first week of 2015 is the right time to resolve to get enough sleep, to eat well and to wash hands frequently. Stopping the spread of germs is essential in fighting epidemics. That means sick people should stay home, and well people should stay away from sick people. We all know the recommendations. Wash hands in hot water with plenty of soap and make sure you do so long enough to kill germs. (Reciting the alphabet while hand washing is one way to ensure you are taking enough time.) Of course, cough into an elbow rather than a hand. Doctors recommend that everyone 6 months old and up should be vaccinated. If you haven’t been protected, there’s still time. Flu can be deadly. But with prevention and treatment, it doesn’t have to be.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 5, 1915: Upper Peñasco — To have 5,000 pounds of potatoes frozen on the trip from here to the Lower Peñasco district is the “hard luck” experience of Cul and Fred Griffin of this place. The two and a half tons of potatoes were loaded in two wagons, and on account of the bad roads, such slow progress was made that the shipments were caught in a storm and “frozen to a total loss.” Jan. 5, 1965: A 25-year-old Alto Street man is in City Jail today after being sentenced to 30 days for prowling around a place of business and possession of deadly weapons. A policeman on routine patrol noticed a car and when he attempted to check the vehicle, the car sped up an alley, but stalled. One man got out of the car and ran. Another man attempted to get out, but the officer blocked his exit with his police cruiser. The officer found a rifle and knife under the seat and another knife in the glove compartment. A hack saw was on the back seat, and the license plates were covered with cardboard, blocking out the numbers. Jan. 5, 1990: Gallup — The Gallup City Council voted unanimously to remove a pair of Zuni war god idols from the city inventory and return them to the Zuni tribe. Gallup community development director Hugh Williams said the idols found in the city inventory had been donated in 1952 to the city museum. Williams said the idols apparently were kept packed in crates and never displayed. Flagstaff — Former Hopi Tribal Chairman Ivan Sidney on Wednesday was appointed to an administrative post at Northern Arizona University. NAU President Eugene Hughes said Sidney would be an assistant to the executive vice president of the university, which attracts many Indian students.

Video games graduate to the world of academia By Benjamin Wermund

NEW YORK — Mark Zuckerberg wants to add a little more “book” to Facebook. The Facebook founder and CEO announced on his page recently that he has vowed to read a book every other week in 2015, with an emphasis on learning about different beliefs, cultures and technologies. Zuckerberg created a page called “A Year of Books” and urged his friends to join him in the project. As of late Sunday afternoon, it had more than 100,000 likes. The Associated Press
If you’ve felt the persistent sorrow that arises from slaying ancient beasts in Shadow of the Colossus or experienced the existential angst of controlling a morally questionable protagonist in The Last of Us, then you know that video games have reached the next level. The games, many with complex story telling and deep themes, have graduated from mind-sucking entertainment to the high-minded world of academia. Like film and TV, video games have become a serious subject at colleges, which are trying to keep up with a massive and rapidly evolving gaming industry. Fifty-nine percent of Americans play video games, and consumers spent $21.5 billion on games and accessories in 2013, according to the Entertainment Software Association. Colleges have long focused on the technical aspects of designing games. Now many are keying in on the art of the medium, and a new program at the University of Texas at Austin is tackling the business end of the industry. “Certainly there’s a bit of, ‘Nobody knows what they’re doing yet,’ ” said Warren Spector, a veteran of video game design who left the industry to launch a new gaming academy at UT this fall. “Video games are still so young. We’re still trying to figure out what video games are, so teaching people the ins and outs of making them is premature. We’re still trying to figure it out.”
Designing a survival game The Denius-Sams Gaming Academy, UT’s first foray into video game education, aims to teach students how to become leaders of industry — something that Spector and others, including students in his program, say is lacking. Video game firms often promote the most talented artists, designers or programmers whose technical skills don’t necessarily translate to good management. There weren’t any programs teaching potential game designers how to create a business model, keep up morale or maintain a clear creative vision, Spector said. “I don’t think we’re doing a very good job, in industry or on the educational side, of training our future leaders,” he said. “Without effective leaders, the medium doesn’t grow, the business doesn’t grow.” The head of one of the biggest game developers in the world saw the need, as well. Paul Sams, the chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment Inc., kicked in money to start the program and is a parttime instructor there. Blizzard, based in California, has an office in Austin and pumps out hugely popular games like World of Warcraft and Diablo. The certificate program offered by UT’s gaming academy is a nine-month trek through the process of designing a PC game, from concept to programming. UT provides each student with a tuition waiver and a $10,000 stipend. Many of the students are returning to school from the industry, and these incentives are helpful in luring them out of their jobs, leaders of the program said.
The class is designing a survival game “where the players get to express themselves through choices,” said Spector, who didn’t want to give too many details, as he hopes the final product will be published and marketed.
Now seen as a legitimate art form UT’s program represents just one end of the broadening spectrum of gaming in higher education. On the other end are schools like New York University, which teach video games as art. “Video games are really complicated and hard to understand,” said Frank Lantz, another former game designer who runs NYU’s program. “For a long time, it was like they were appliances … plug them in and they’re pleasuredispensing.” But it’s increasingly clear that video games are as much an art form as music or dance, he said. The NYU Game Center is a department of the Tisch School of the Arts. Aside from graduating a new generation of game designers and developers, the Gaming Center’s mission, according to its website, is to advance the field of games by creating a context for groundbreaking work. A course at Rice University last year gave the popular medieval role-playing game Skyrim the type of scholarly treatment the Game Center is pushing. The course, aimed at psychology, politics, and history students, used Skyrim to explore the way America fantasizes about ancient Norse and medieval times. At NYU, Lantz said, students are taught to think of games like TV shows or albums. “You look at Shadow of the Colossus and it’s so obviously like a work — like a cultural work in the way that Gone With the Wind is,” Lantz said. “People in academia have a responsibility to the public to help them understand what’s going on. … There’s something deep and beautiful and amazing going on that’s like music and theater and poetry. It’s this weird problem-solving dance that can be compulsive, but also expressive and rich and complicated in all the ways we want culture to be.”
Tough business to get into Students in UT’s new program said that’s why they want to get into the industry. Video games, they say, are a powerful art form. But increasingly, the video game business is tough to crack. “I’d never thought of them as, we’re running a company,” said Elora Krzanich, who came to UT from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Krzanich, a programmer on the project who’s drawn inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus, BioShock and Okami, was acting in the producer role when it was time to make the pitch to the course’s board of directors to move the project from pre-production to production. She had to present a business model and a tentative work schedule to prove the game could be made on time. ”Those were things that I had never been exposed to,” said Krzanich. “The business side of games.”

NFL WILD-CARD PLAYOFFS COWBOYS 24, LIONS 20
Call it a comeback

Romo, Cowboys rally past Lions in wild card By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas ace-down on the turf, Tony Romo pounded his hands into the ground like a petulant child. Frustrated by yet another seasonending failure? Far from it. The Dallas quarterback was celebrating after giving the Cowboys the lead in a stirring playoff comeback. Romo threw two touchdown passes to Terrance Williams, the second for the lead late in the fourth quarter, and the Cowboys rallied for a 24-20 wildcard win over Detroit on Sunday in their first playoff game in five years. Dallas (13-4) wiped out an early two-touchdown deficit to advance to a divisional game in Green Bay, their first postseason visit there since a heartbreaking loss to the Packers in the Ice Bowl in 1967. “You just have to stay in the moment and understand the game,” Romo said. “It doesn’t end after the first quarter, second quarter. You just have to keep calm. I’ve played enough games to understand that. Maybe I didn’t do that as well when I was younger.” The Lions (11-6) went 99 yards for one of two first-quarter touchdowns, but Matthew Stafford couldn’t get them in the end zone again. Detroit was driving with a 20-17 lead midway through the fourth quarter when referee Pete Morelli announced a pass interference penalty against Anthony Hitchens on
F
a third-down pass to Brandon Pettigrew. But officials reversed the call without explanation, and Sam Martin had a 10-yard punt after the Lions tried to draw Dallas offside on fourthand-1. Pettigrew said he didn’t get an explanation, while Lions coach Jim Caldwell said he did — but didn’t like it. “Not a good enough one. I’m going to leave it at that,” Caldwell said. “I’m not going to sit up here and act like that was the play that made a difference in the game. We still had our chances.” Romo took the Cowboys 59 yards in 11 plays, including a 21-yard pass to Jason Witten on fourth-and-6. The winner to Williams was an 8-yarder after Romo had several seconds to throw behind an offensive line among the league’s best because Dallas has drafted linemen in the first round three of the past four years. The Cowboys had to wait a little longer to celebrate. Rookie DeMarcus Lawrence gave the Lions the ball back with a fumble following Anthony Spencer’s sack that knocked the ball loose from Stafford, who was 28 of 42 for 323 yards playing against his hometown team. Lawrence redeemed himself on the clincher, sacking Stafford on fourth down near midfield in the final minute. The Lions have not won a playoff game since the 1991 season, when they beat Dallas. Dallas rode quick starts to a 4-0 December that carried it to the NFC East title, but a sluggish first quarter put the Cowboys in a hole. Golden Tate bounced up from a flattening hit by C.J. Spillman on a punt return and beat Barry Church on a 51-yard pass to open the scoring. Church called out Tate on his

Redoubtable Colts pull away from Bengals By Michael Marot The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — When Andrew Luck was under pressure Sunday, he stood tall and maintained his poise. Andy Dalton and the Bengals simply collapsed. Again. Luck delivered a game-changing touchdown pass as he was headed to the turf, and Indianapolis’ defense dominated the rest of the game as the Colts roared past Cincinnati 26-10 and into the divisional
playoff round. “The one magical play was when Andrew was at his finest,” said coach Chuck Pagano, whose team heads to Denver next Sunday. “He’s a maestro. He’s unbelievable back there.” For Cincinnati, a bedeviling postseason curse continued. The Bengals (10-6-1) became the first team in NFL history to lose four consecutive openinground games.

COMMENTARY
Steelers players return ‘too quick’ for concussion check By Adam Kilgore The Washington Post
N
FL teams care about the well-being of their players when it suits them, and in the dying seconds of their season Saturday night, it didn’t suit the Pittsburgh Steelers. On consecutive plays with less than five minutes left, as the Steelers faced a two-touchdown, fourthquarter deficit against the Baltimore Ravens in the first round of the playoffs, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and tight end Heath Miller trundled off the field, dazed after wicked hits to their heads.
ALBUQUERQUE — On Saturday, it was the “thems” that got to the Colorado State Rams. Thems, as in the crowd, the opposing coach, the opposing talent and the pressure of playing in a hostile environment as a nationally ranked and unbeaten team. “It was a lot of thems that got us,” said CSU head coach Larry Eustachy after his Rams suffered their first loss of the season in a 66-53 setback to The University of New Mexico in The Pit. “But that’s something you get playing here.” For the Lobos, things couldn’t have gone much better as the curtain was raised to start the Craig Neal Mountain West Conference season. Sitting atop the league with a 2-0 record after home wins against Fresno State and CSU, their next test comes Tuesday against preseason favorite San Diego State. If timing is as important as UNM head coach Craig Neal suggests, the Lobos couldn’t be in a much better spot heading into that game. Their confidence is as high now as it has been all season thanks to the steady improvement of a team that appeared to be going nowhere fast at different points during the nonconference slate.
Roethlisberger stayed down after he took a sack and his head smashed against the cold turf. On the next snap, Miller caught a pass over the middle, charged up field and absorbed a violent, helmet-on-helmet blow from Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosely. Miller went momentarily limp, the ball falling from his grasp. An official sent him off the field, like a boxing referee saving a fighter from himself. On the sideline, a trainer talked to Roethlisberger and inspected his neck and shoulders. Three plays later, less than five minutes of real time after his head met the hard ground, Roethlis-
berger returned. He lofted an interception into the end zone with his first pass. Once the Steelers got the ball back, Roethlisberger remained in the game. He fired a last-gasp pass over the middle — to Miller. The tight end sprinted forward and lost a fumble, something he had done five times in his 10-year career. Should either player have returned? We don’t know. Jarring hits happen in football, and if all of them resulted in a player leaving the game, there wouldn’t be a sport. It would be foolish to play doc-

Longtime sportscaster Stuart Scott dies at 49 By Rick Freeman The Associated Press
Stuart Scott was in his element, working a “Monday Night Football” game, when he was forced to leave for an appendix operation. Doctors discovered a tumor during surgery and Scott was diagnosed with cancer. But he made a point of continuing to live his life — at work and outside of it. “You beat cancer by how you live,” he would later say. “So Stuart Scott live. Live. Fight like hell.” That fight ended Sunday when Scott, the longtime SportsCenter anchor and ESPN personality known for his enthusiasm and ubiquity, died at age 49. Scott remained dedicated to his craft even as he suffered through chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. ESPN President John Skipper said in a statement that Scott was “a true friend and a uniquely inspirational figure” and that his “energetic and unwavering devotion to his family and to his work while fighting the battle of his life left us in awe, and he leaves a void that can never be replaced.”

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Chris Jones scored 20 of his 22 points in the second half, and No. 5 Louisville won its Atlantic Coast Conference 5 Louisville 85 debut, beating Wake Forest 85-76 on Sunday Wake Forest 76 night. Jones added a career-high 10 assists and Montrezl Harrell had 25 points and 13 rebounds for the Cardinals (13-1, 1-0). They let a 13-point lead slip away before Jones took over late, scoring 14 points in the final 8 minutes and leading the decisive 16-3 run. Devin Thomas had a career-high 31 points and 11 rebounds for Wake Forest (8-7, 0-2), which led 69-68 on Konstantinos Mitoglou’s layup with just under 6 minutes to play. Jones put Louisville ahead to stay two possessions later with a contested jumper that started decisive run. He was 6 for 6 from the free-throw line in the final 5 minutes for Louisville, which scored on nine of its last 10 possessions. NO. 4 WISCONSIN 81, NORTHWESTERN 58 In Evanston, Ill., Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker scored 16 points apiece, leading Wisconsin past Northwestern. The Badgers (14-1, 2-0 Big Ten) made 12 3-pointers and shot 53 percent from the field overall. Duje Dukan had 14 points in Wisconsin’s seventh consecutive victory, and Nigel Hayes finished with 10 points. Kaminsky also had 10 rebounds and six assists. Tre Demps scored 17 points for Northwestern (10-5, 1-1). NO. 8 ARIZONA 73, ARIZONA STATE 49 In Tucson, Ariz., Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 13 points and eight rebounds, and Arizona routed Arizona State to open Pac-12 play. Arizona (12-1) was sharp after an extended break, dominating Arizona State at both ends to quickly turn its rivalry game into a runaway. The Wildcats took control with a big early run while building a 20-point halftime lead and kept the pressure up to get their conference season off to a rousing start. Gerry Blakes had nine points for the Sun Devils (8-6).
Perry Ellis also had 16 points, Kelly Oubre had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Cliff Alexander scored 10 off the bench to help the Jayhawks (11-2) win their 15th straight at Allen Fieldhouse.

NO. 10 UTAH 71, UCLA 39 In Salt Lake City, Delon Wright had 11 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals in Utah’s victory over UCLA. Jakob Poeltl had nine points and 10 rebounds for the Utes (12-2, 2-0 Pac-12), who beat the Bruins in Salt Lake City for the second straight season. Tony Parker scored 12 points to lead UCLA, which lost its fifth straight. The Bruins (8-7, 0-2) trailed from start to finish. The Bruins shot just 29 percent from the field and were 1 of 11 from 3-point range. Utah’s speed and efficient shooting overwhelmed UCLA right from the start. Then the Utes’ defense finished off the Bruins, who had a long scoring drought in each half. NO. 13 KANSAS 76, UNLV 61 In Lawrence, Kan., Frank Mason had 18 points and seven assists, Wayne Selden added 16 points and No. 13 Kansas pulled away late to beat UNLV in the Jayhawks’ nonconference finale.
STANFORD 68, NO. 21 WASHINGTON 60 (OT) In Stanford, Calif., Rosco Allen hit a key 3-pointer in overtime after missing all six of his free throws in regulation, Chasson Randle’s driving layup with 2.2 seconds left sent the game into overtime, and Stanford spoiled Washington’s Bay Area trip. Robert Upshaw missed a pair of free throws for Washington (11-3, 0-2 Pac-12) with 40.2 seconds remaining in OT and the Huskies failed to score a field goal in the extra 5 minutes after a pair of 28-point halves by each team. Anthony Brown made one of two free throws with 39 seconds to go on the way to 16 points and Nigel Williams-Goss immediately double-dribbled on the other end. Randle made another layin with 9 seconds left and wound up with 24 points and became the school’s career leader in 3-pointers. NO. 23 NORTHERN IOWA 67, LOYOLA (ILLINOIS) 58 In Cedar Falls, Iowa, Jeremy Morgan scored a career-high 18 points and Northern Iowa beat Loyola of Illinois for its third win in four games. Deon Mitchell added 13 points and the Panthers (12-2, 1-1 Missouri Valley) bounced back from a loss to Evansville by holding off the Ramblers (11-3, 1-1). Milton Doyle had 13 points for Loyola.
Lobos: Logwood shows much improvement Continued from Page B-1 “I think with a new team and a young team and an inexperienced team, there’s a little doubt,” Neal said. “There’s a little doubt in all of us as people when you’re going against challenges. But the more they’ve improved, the more they’ve believed and the more they’ve come together and believed.” A prime example of that is the marked improvement of freshman Sam Logwood, a 6-foot-7 guard who had a career-high 15 points against Colorado State. “I’ve always known he was capable of being an all-league player,” Neal said. “This is nothing against Sam: He couldn’t make 100 jump shots out of 400 when he first got here. And that’s not against him, but he spends Sundays coming in here on his own taking 600 to 1,000 shots, and his shot’s improved dramatically.” Logwood said the time he
spent on the bench while rehabbing an injured shoulder — he missed three games before coming back against Fresno State — made him appreciate the time he does get when he’s healthy. “I just went in with an aggressive attitude, trying to attack the rim,” he said. He also took the lessons he gleaned from all those extra hours in the gym. He admitted after the CSU game that he tended to hold onto the ball too long with his non-shooting left hand when lining up jumpers. He also delivered the ball from an overhead motion. He has since corrected both motions, becoming a true one-handed shooter who keeps the ball in front of him when he’s got his feet set and shoulders squared. “He’s hard to guard in the post for being a big wing,” Neal said. “He’s a lot like Tony Danridge was when Tony was here.” With Logwood healthy and
junior combo guard Arthur Edwards fully recovered from surgery to a dislocated finger, the Lobos can now go 11 players deep on a bench that has had valuable playing time for anyone wearing a uniform. “That’s the first time it’s been like that since we’ve been here, getting 11 guys those kinds of minutes,” Neal said. Still, the coach warns Lobo fans not to drink the Kool-Aid just yet. “Oh, we’re a long way away,” he said. “We have a long way to go. This is just one game.” One game, true. But it was one game where there were a lot more “thems” for the opposing team to deal with. As long as the “thems” keep improving, Neal can’t help but feel good about his team’s chances moving forward. NOTES u Any time you have a ranked team visit The Pit, it’s time for the Lobo head coach to pull out the red blazer. Such was the
case for Neal on Saturday, who is now 5-0 wearing the jacket. u San Diego State’s shocking loss at Fresno State on Saturday snapped the Aztecs’ 47-game winning streak vs. California schools, a streak that lasted more than five years. u In that game, SDSU erased an 18-point second half deficit to tie it late. u Aztecs big man Skylar Spencer has had multiple blocks in 10 games this season. u San Diego State is 9-0 at home. The Lobos are 2-1 on the road. u Neal addressed his quick hook of forward Jordan Goodman during Saturday’s game. The big man was yanked within seconds after taking an illadvised baseline jumper in the first half. “He’s been behind the 8-ball because he’s been out of shape, and when you’re out of shape you rely on jump shots,” Neal said. “But you can’t rely on his first shot to be a fallaway 3-point jump shot. He knows that.”
Scott: Moments of silence held at games Continued from Page B-1 Skipper also marveled at Scott’s dedication to keep fighting — literally. “Who engages in mixed martial arts training in the midst of chemotherapy treatments?” Skipper said. “Who leaves a hospital procedure to return to the set?” Fans and players at games around the United States on Sunday stopped to observe moments of silence, including at the Bengals-Colts NFL playoff game in Indianapolis, LionsCowboys in Arlington, Texas; the Mavericks-Cavaliers NBA game in Cleveland and at several college basketball games. Some of the world’s most famous athletes expressed their grief online. LeBron James wrote on Instagram: “Thank you so much for being u and giving us inner city kids someone we could relate to that wasn’t a player but was close enough to them.” “Stuart wasn’t covering heroes & champions, it was the other way around,” Tiger
Woods said on Twitter. In July, Scott accepted the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPYs. During his speech, he told his teenage daughters: “Taelor and Sydni, I love you guys more than I will ever be able to express. You two are my heartbeat. I am standing on this stage here tonight because of you.” Scott is also survived by his parents, O. Ray and Jacqueline Scott; siblings Stephen Scott, Synthia Kearney and Susan Scott; his daughters Taelor, 19, and Sydni, 15; and girlfriend Kristin Spodobalski. On Sunday morning, NFL Network broadcaster Rich Eisen’s voice broke as he reported the death of his good friend, with whom he worked on SportsCenter broadcasts. “I love this man,” Eisen said. ESPN anchor Hannah Storm called him “our colleague, our friend and our inspiration” as she reported the news. On the network’s NFL pregame show, Chris Berman said, “Stuart made ESPN what it is, he made us better people.”
Before North Carolina’s women’s basketball team tipped off against N.C. State, the arena observed a moment of silence for Scott, and the videoboard proclaimed the 1987 graduate “Forever a Tar Heel.” Born in Chicago, Scott attended high school in North Carolina before going to UNC. He returned to Chapel Hill as the university’s commencement speaker in 2001. Scott worked at three TV stations in the southern U.S. before joining ESPN for the 1993 launch of its ESPN2 network, hosting short sports update segments. He often anchored the 11 p.m. SportsCenter, where he would punctuate highlights with an emphatic “Boo-ya!” or note a slick move as being “as cool as the other side of the pillow.” Scott went on to cover countless major events for the network, including the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, World Series and NCAA basketball tournament. He also interviewed President Barack Obama, join-
ing him for a televised game of one on one. “I will miss Stuart Scott,” Obama said in a statement. “Stu helped usher in a new way to talk about our favorite teams and the day’s best plays. For much of those 20 years, public service and campaigns have kept me from my family — but wherever I went, I could flip on the TV and Stu and his colleagues on SportsCenter were there. … Michelle and I offer our thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and colleagues.” In July, when he accepted the ESPY award named for former N.C. State coach Jim Valvano, who died of cancer in 1993, Scott shared what he had learned from his struggle: “When you die, that does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and the manner in which you live. “So live. Live. Fight like hell.” AP sports writers Rachel Cohen and Aaron Beard contributed to this report.

It’ll be Manning vs. Luck III when Colts visit Broncos next By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Manning vs. Luck III. Peyton Manning gets to face his former team and his successor after Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts beat Cincinnati in the wildcard round Sunday. They met last year in Indianapolis when Manning’s emotions and the Colts both got the best of him in his homecoming. Manning won’t get caught up in the hype of the marquee matchup this time, suggested Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas. He pointed to his quarterback’s coolness in this season opener when Denver beat Indy 31-24. “We had them the first game of the season and he was fine,” Thomas said. “It’s a playoff game, so it’s a little bit different because if you lose, you’re done and if you win, you keep going. I can’t really talk for Peyton, but I think he’s fine.” DeMarcus Ware said he was especially appreciative for the Broncos’ bye, which they earned as the AFC’s No. 2 seed, when he saw it was Luck whom he’ll be facing next weekend. Luck has an uncanny knack for comebacks even when things look bleak such as in last year’s playoffs when he guided the Colts back from a 28-point deficit to Kansas City.

The Broncos jumped out to a 24-0 lead on the Colts in this season’s opener. But Luck led a frenetic rally that came up short when rookie Bradley Roby broke up a fourth-and-6 pass to Reggie Wayne in the final minute to secure Denver’s 31-24 win. “He’s one of those guys that you have to play a 60-minute game against,” Ware said. “He has really good pocket awareness. He’s always one of those guys, just like Peyton, where he hits the open guy the majority of the time. He plays a
fundamentally sound game. “He’s one of those quarterbacks you don’t want to go against, but the thing is you’ve got to make sure you get pressure on him and make them one-dimensional.” Four months have passed since the Colts (125) and Broncos (12-4) saw each other, but Ware stressed “it’s still the same quarterback,” so “I think you’ve got to go back and see what you did well. You’ve also got to see how and where you didn’t play well and make sure those things are corrected.” Thomas figures to cringe when he watches the film. With Wes Welker serving a two-game suspension, Thomas played the slot and caught four passes for 48 yards with a couple of huge drops that night. Once Welker returned, Thomas went back outside and had another stellar season that included a franchise-best 1,619 yards and 11 touchdowns. “It’s great” having Welker back, Thomas said. “I tried to play the slot and it wasn’t for me that early in the season. Having him back is good because he is one of the best that does it and having him, you never know what defense they will play because they will have to watch everybody.
Comeback: Lions won last playoff in 1991 happy I am.” The 34-year-old who had back surgery in December 2013 and missed one game with another back injury this season, endured a season-high six sacks. Two were on consecutive plays in the fourth quarter by Ndamukong Suh, who was suspended Monday for stepping on Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, but reinstated a day later. “I’m speechless,” a tearful Suh said after walking away from the podium and then returning. “Defense put it all out there. This team put it all out there. … I didn’t expect this outcome.”
Continued from Page B-1 radio show earlier in the week, saying the Cowboys were going to pay him back for a blindside block on linebacker Sean Lee that got Tate fined three years ago when he was with Seattle. The Lions went up 14-0 on a drive that amounted to 99¾ yards. After Dekoda Watson ran into Martin to keep the drive alive, the 14-play drive ended with Reggie Bush badly faking Orlando Scandrick on an 18-yard scoring run. Williams (three catches for 92 yards) pulled the Cowboys within seven when he took a short pass from Romo 76 yards to the end zone. NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray slogged his way to 75 yards on 19 carries against the NFL’s best run defense, including a 1-yard plunge on fourth down that pulled Dallas to 20-14 late in the third quarter. The Cowboys were coming off three straight 8-8 seasons that ended with losses that kept them out of the playoffs, with Romo on the field for two of them. “I’m thrilled for him,” said owner Jerry

NOTES u Romo had 293 yards passing and a quarterback rating almost right on his franchisebest 113.2 that led the NFL. u Calvin Johnson, who had 329 yards receiving in a comeback win in Detroit in 2013, had 85 yards on five catches. Tate had 89 yards on six grabs. u Murray’s touchdown was set up by Dez Bryant’s only notable play, a 43-yard catch to inside the 10. The NFL leader in receiving touchdowns (16) had three catches for 48 yards.
Colts: Luck finishes game without turnover Continued from Page B-1 Moon for the most consecutive opening-round playoff losses by a quarterback, dropping to 0-4 all-time. Coach Marvin Lewis tied Marty Schottenheimer, Jim Mora and Steven Owen for most consecutive playoff losses (six) by a coach. Lewis also tied Mora, the former Colts coach, for most consecutive playoff losses to start a career, and tied Owen for most consecutive playoff losses with one team. They haven’t won a playoff game since January 1991. “It’s kind of like missing a field goal that you should have hit,” Cincinnati kicker Mike Nugent said after setting a franchise record late in the first half with a 57-yard field goal that got the Bengals within 13-10. But the glaring difference between the postseason success for Luck and the Colts (12-5), and the postseason failures for Dalton and the Bengals was never more apparent than on two big plays in the third quarter.
On second-and-10 from the Bengals 36, Luck floated a perfect pass to the corner of the end zone as Carlos Dunlap started to take him to the turf. Rookie receiver Donte Moncrief sprinted across the field and cradled the ball for the score that gave Indy a 20-10 lead. “I sort of stepped up in a crease there, saw Donte running his butt off and tried to put it in a spot where only he could get it,” Luck said. “He does such a great job of running underneath those balls and we had the touch.” On the next Bengals plays, Dalton had Brandon Tate open deep down the middle on a fleaflicker. But instead of scoring, Colts cornerback Greg Toler raced over and broke up the underthrown pass. Three plays later, the Bengals punted. They never seriously challenged again. “I thought he [Dalton] hung in there,” Lewis said. “I thought he made plays with his feet. I thought he made plays throwing the football, and I thought
he played a good football game.” Dalton, whose two top receivers were inactive, finished 18 of 35 with 155 yards and lost a fumble on a day the Bengals managed only 98 total yards and five first downs in the second half. The Colts were much more proficient. Luck went 31 of 44 for 376 yards, and he couldn’t be going into the next game under better circumstances. For the first time in four tries, Luck finished a playoff game without a turnover. He also joined Dan Fouts, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon and Drew Brees as the only NFL players with three straight 300yard games in the postseason. Luck managed to keep his feet and his poise on the biggest play of the game, and finished without an interception for the first time in a playoff match. T.Y. Hilton caught six passes for 103 yards, Daniel “Boom” Herron had 10 catches for 85 yards — he also rushed for 56 and a touchdown— and Adam Vinatieri made four field goals. No, it wasn’t the clean game
Pagano wanted — Hilton dropped a couple of potentially game-changing passes; Herron lost a fumble; and the Colts were called for nine penalties. But they still led 13-10 at the half, and Pagano liked the way Luck took a page out of Aaron Rodgers’ playbook in the second half. “We were a little unsettled, a little anxious, in the first half,” Pagano said. “We just said, ‘Hey! Just calm down, relax.’ ” NOTES u The Bengals deactivated A.J. Green (concussion) and Jermaine Gresham (back), then lost linebacker Rey Maualuga (hamstring) in the first half. u Jeremy Hill, the NFL’s top rookie runner, had 13 carries for 47 yards and injured his ankle. u Vinatieri made a field goal in his 12th consecutive playoff game, matching his own previous mark for the second-longest streak in NFL history. Toni Fritsch did it in 13 straight games from 1972-79. u The Colts had a moment of silence for ESPN sports anchor Stuart Scott, who died Sunday.
“Hopefully we will have Julius [Thomas] there healthy. It’s good to have Wes back and I can be back outside and try to do my best to play my best for the team and have a big impact on the game.” Julius Thomas got off to a sizzling start with three TDs against Indy in the opener and a dozen by Week 10. But he hasn’t reached the end zone since spraining his left ankle Nov. 16. After one score, microphones caught him screaming, “It’s so easy!” A healthy Julius Thomas could be a tremendous help for the Broncos in the playoffs — that’s one reason the bye week was such a big deal to them. “It was big to get this week out of the way with some rest and now get back to business,” Demaryius Thomas said. “Some guys are feeling better. That is the benefit of having a bye week off. It was real big.” The bye also gave Pro Bowl safety T.J. Ward (neck) and top tackler Brandon Marshall (foot) more time to get healthy. That’s “something that we need,” Ware said. “Especially just from a leadership standpoint but also having guys come back that are big playmakers for us.”
Steelers: Their priorities obvious Continued from Page B-1 tor from the couch, watching on television. Afterward, Roethlisberger said he experienced “just a little whiplash” in his neck. “I was just kind of laying down there and wanted to make sure I could feel everything.” We just know it looked bad. We don’t know if Roethlisberger and Miller suffered concussions. The problem is, neither did the Steelers. The proper concussion protocol takes “at least” 15 to 20 minutes, said a doctor who has worked in the NFL and is now a Major League Baseball team’s medical director. Roethlisberger and Miller stayed sidelined for less than half that time — “too quick” to determine if they suffered a brain injury, the doctor said. The Steelers needed a miracle to win, and they rushed their franchise QB and starting tight end back to the field. Competitive desperation trumped best medical practices. The NFL’s concussion assessment tool is a twopage, nine-section document that combines a visual diagnostic test with several cognitive tests to measure the player’s responsiveness. For example, players are given a sequence of three to six numbers and must correctly repeat them backwards. They also must complete a recall test in which they correctly repeat a list of five words in order. The recall test also contains a delayed recall section to be completed at the end of all sideline testing. On the worksheet, it clearly states there must be a minimum of a fiveminute gap between the first test and the delayed recall test. The NFL claims to value the safety of its players over all else. The league wants
fans to believe it can make an inherently vicious sport safer. Put to the test, the Steelers proved the emptiness of those vows. The complexion of the human brain does not change in the playoffs, but apparently the NFL’s priorities do. If the NFL is serious about player safety, it will take action against the Steelers for a clear violation of league-mandated concussion protocol. When one player endangers another with a dangerous hit, the league fines him. It likes to brag about the decrease in penalties this had led to. So what happens when superficial medical care endangers a player? The NFL needs to hold teams to the same standard it holds its players. The end of the SteelersRavens slugfest cast the NFL’s on-field tension in stark relief. The drama of a heated rivalry, the ferocity of the Ravens and the intensity of Heinz Field delivered every reason we watch. The brutality of the end was everything frightening about the game. It became difficult to watch the short passes to receivers, who became targets for defensive backs and linebackers who, playing to keep the ball in front of them, could turn themselves into human rockets. The NFL cannot legislate the physical danger out of football. Without the violence, there is no skill and grace. Without the scary blows, there is no football. It is embedded in the game. Roethlisberger’s wooziness placed the Steelers in position to make a moral decision. They sent Roethlisberger, and then Miller, back to the field. The stakes revealed where the Steelers’ priorities lie. It made you wonder if there is something more worrisome embedded in the game.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Depression is likely hereditary Dear Annie: I lost my grandmother to suicide when I was 7. The day before Grandma died, she made comments to me about going away where I could not go with her and “going to be with her mother,” who had died. I did not understand what she was saying. Several weeks after the funeral, I told my mother what my grandmother said to me. For years after, it felt as though my mother blamed me for her mother’s death. I grew up feeling this way. Two years ago, I overheard my mother tell a friend on the phone that she did, in fact, blame me for my grandmother’s death. I cannot tell you how much this hurt me. I am now in my 30s, and my mother and I have had other issues in the past, but never as hurtful as this. Since my grandmother’s death, I have been in counseling for depression, my own suicide attempts and the unbearable guilt that I feel. The therapists have told me that Grandma’s death was not my fault, but how can I believe them when my own mother blames me? Please help. — Abandoned Dear Abandoned: You know your grandmother’s death was not your fault. You understand that at the age of 7, you could not possibly be held responsible for her suicide. Your mother wants to blame you because it is less painful than blaming herself for not noticing how unhappy her mother was. But frankly, there is no reason to blame anyone. The depression you suffer from (and that Grandma apparently suffered from) is likely a form of inherited mental illness. Please discuss this with your counselor, and ask about having your mother come with you. It sounds as though she never fully processed what happened. She could use some help, too. Dear Annie: My wife can’t stop interrupting me while I’m talking. She either finishes my thought for me, or she just moves on to the next thing she wants to say without waiting for me to fin-
ish speaking. My wife is aware that there is a problem, and she feels bad when I point it out, but she evidently can’t do anything about it. She doesn’t even realize she’s doing it unless I tell her, “You interrupted me again.” There are times when I don’t feel like talking to her because I know she’s just going to cut me off. What can either of us do? — Cut Short Dear Cut: If your wife truly wants to stop and you are willing to make the effort, you can train each other. First check your own speech habits. Do you drone on and on? Do you restate the obvious? Do you repeat yourself? Work on shorter sentences, and then help your wife learn to wait until you are finished before speaking. This will require that she make a genuine effort, and you will need to remind her, gently, each time she interrupts. Dear Annie: I am moved to respond to “Unhappy Mother of a Son.” I have been living that life. After getting professional help, I finally came to realize the fault is not mine. My daughterin-law quite simply does not, for whatever reason, want to share my son’s life with me. And I have to recognize that my son has no appreciation for me or is too lacking in character to stand up for me. If there are grandchildren, I would suggest “Unhappy” cultivate a relationship with them in whatever way possible. They have the right to make their own judgments. The hurt never goes away, but life is more than being a mother. — Sad but Wiser Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
