From the Bureau of Reclamation to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Obama administration is tapping New Mexicans to hold important posts.

Many of those positions deal with water, science or Indian Affairs — areas in which the individuals in the state have particular expertise.

New Mexico’s current Interstate Stream Commission director, Estevàn R. Lopez, was nominated recently to head the Bureau of Reclamation. Lopez rose from Santa Fe County manager to deal with contentious water issues along the state’s major interstate waterways.

If he is confirmed by the Senate, Lopez will replace another native New Mexican, Mike L. Connor, who resigned after he was nominated to become deputy secretary of the Department of Interior, one of the most far-reaching agencies in the nation. The Department of Interior oversees the Indian Affairs, Reclamation, Land Management, Ocean Energy and Surface Mining bureaus,

Lead that’s left behind threatens local wildlife Eagles’ deaths tied to metal; hunters encouraged to use alternate ammo

wo thin bald eagles brought to The Wildlife Center near Española in January died despite efforts by staff to save them.

The culprit was lead poisoning, according to blood tests and necropsies performed on both birds.

Lead ammunition is a deadly problem for animals and birds, even when they haven’t been shot with it, according to Katherine Eagleson, executive director of The Wildlife Center. In the case of the two eagles, they likely scavenged carcasses of animals that had been shot with lead bullets.

Lead ammunition in carcasses left behind by hunters is one source of lead that can poison wildlife. Lead shot and bullets used for target practice in rural areas like a stock pond on the Caja del Rio mesa is another source of lead poisoning. A third is lead

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine — Just two weeks after Russian troops seized their peninsula, Crimeans voted Sunday to leave Ukraine and join Russia, overwhelmingly approving a referendum that sought to unite the strategically important Black Sea region with the country it was part of for some 250 years.

The vote was widely condemned by Western leaders, who planned to move swiftly to punish Russia with economic sanctions.

As the votes were counted, a jubilant crowd gathered around a statue of Vladimir Lenin in the center of Simferopol to celebrate with song and dance. Many held Russian flags, and some unfurled a handwritten banner reading “We’re Russian and proud of it.” Fireworks exploded in the skies above.

“We want to go back home, and today we are going back home,” said Viktoria Chernyshova, a 38-year-old businesswoman. “We needed to save ourselves from those unprincipled clowns who have taken power in Kiev.”

Ukraine’s new government in Kiev called the referendum a “circus” directed at gunpoint by Moscow, referring to the thousands of troops that now occupy the peninsula, which has traded hands repeatedly since ancient times.

The referendum offered voters the choice of seeking annexation by Russia or remaining in Ukraine with greater autonomy. After 50 percent of the ballots were counted, more than 95 percent of voters had approved splitting off and joining Russia, according to Mikhail Malishev, head of the referendum committee.

Final results were not expected until Monday.

Opponents of secession appeared to have stayed away Sunday, denouncing the vote as a cynical power play and land grab by Russia.

Putin insisted the referendum was conducted in “full accordance with international law and the U.N. charter.”

Russia was expected to face strong sanctions Monday from the U.S. and Europe for going forward with the vote, which could also encourage rising pro-Russian sentiment in Ukraine’s east and lead to further divisions in this nation of 46 million. Residents in western Ukraine and the capital, Kiev, are strongly pro-West and Ukrainian nationalist.

T

he Men’s NCAA Tournament starts this week, and it is sure to fuel the myth that size matters.

In truth, the basketball tournament is a shining example of the all-American work ethic. Nobody Milan knows this better than Simonich Nick Pino, who owns an Ringside Seat insurance agency near the Santa Fe Plaza.

Pino was always the big man on campus. Nearly 7 feet tall as a 16-yearold high school junior, he didn’t start for the St. Michael’s basketball team. He wasn’t good enough.

St. Michael’s top five players were all more than a foot shorter than Pino, but they were skilled and relentless, pressing the entire game if necessary.

With an enrollment of about 200, St. Michael’s advanced to the big-school state championship game in 1962 with a starting lineup that carried the politically incorrect nickname “Mighty Midgets.” Pino didn’t play at all in the state final, a game the Horsemen lost to Sandia.

All the St. Michael’s starters graduated the spring after the title game. Pino, about to be a senior, had reached a crossroads.

“I knew it was my last hurrah,” he said one recent day.

Actually, it was the beginning of many more hurrahs.

Enticed by the opportunity to crack the starting lineup, Pino worked hard to reach the standard set by his old teammates. Then he soared beyond them, to the stratosphere of New Mexico high school basketball. He scored 1,033 points as a senior, a state record that stood for 50 years.

Pino went from benchwarmer to shooting star in a matter of months. During his senior season in 1962-63, more than 100 colleges recruited him.

“I was getting offers under the table. I don’t know, maybe I shouldn’t mention that,” he said.

He visited seven schools, including The University of New Mexico, New York University and Seattle University, the latter two being bas-

NATION&WORLD Community short on money for providing mental health services

Crackdown in Egypt sees abuse, 16,000 detained New York Mayor Bill de Blasio speaks during Sunday services at the Church of God of Third Avenue as the congregation welcomed members of the Spanish Christian Church that was destroyed by Wednesday’s explosion in the East Harlem neighborhood Sunday.

Church services mourn those lost in NYC blast Mayor Bill de Blasio: ‘We will not let you fall’

By Leanne Italie and Verena Dobnik The Associated Press

NEW YORK s workers tried to clear away the last of the rubble that once was two New York City apartment buildings, a pair of congregations gathered to mourn Sunday — one for its lost church and one for two members who lost their lives in the massive explosion.

At Bethel Gospel Assembly, tears mixed with the sounds of gospel music as the church remembered Griselde Camacho and Carmen Tanco, two of the eight people killed in the massive East Harlem explosion that leveled a pair of five-story buildings on Wednesday.

“We feel the void,” said Michelle Robinson, the church’s business administrator.

“Both women were very active members.”

Tanco often served as an usher at services and would greet her fellow congregants at the door, Robinson said.

“We are a family and we’re all just missing the big hugs she used to give,” she said.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the women “were examples to all of us” because of the faith and spirit they demonstrated. He spoke at a podium with a screen above him displaying photos of

the women.

“We will not let you fall,” de Blasio said, speaking at a podium with a screen above him displaying photos of the women. “We are all a family in the end.”

His wife, Chirlane McCray, told the crowd about the launch of a fundraising drive to help those affected by the explosion.

The money would support a relief plan that includes a victims’ assistance fund, which would cover costs connected to funeral arrangements, as well as rent and household expenses.

The plan also includes counseling and outreach to immigrant communities.

De Blasio also visited the house of worship where members of the Spanish Christian Church, which had been located on the first floor of one of the destroyed buildings, were spending Sunday. On Saturday a crew at the blast site found a large Bible in the rubble and

returned it to the church’s pastor.

After the three-hour service at the Church of God a few blocks from the blast site, several dozen members of the destroyed church, including young families with children, fell into each other’s arms amid tears and faint smiles.

For some, it was the first encounter since Wednesday’s catastrophe.

“We don’t know where we will worship, we don’t know what we’ll do,” said Carmen Vargas Rosa, who led a meeting of Spanish Christian Church members.

At the scene of the explosion on Park Avenue at 116th Street, there were signs the initial cleanup was ending while the investigation into the cause of the blast could begin.

The blast erupted about 15 minutes after someone from a neighboring building reported smelling gas, authorities said.

ABUJA, Nigeria — At least 16 people were killed in stampedes for government jobs in Nigeria when hundreds of thousands were invited to apply for fewer than 5,000 positions, officials and activists said Sunday.

Interior Minister Abba Moro held the applicants responsible, saying they “lost their lives through their impatience.” Activists blamed his ministry and called for him to be fired. Emergency officials said the death toll could rise.

Nigerians are desperate for work, with official statistics putting the number of unemployed at nearly 41 million of the 170 million population. Unemployment among young people aged under-24 is even higher — 38 percent according to official statistics and nearer 80 percent, according to the World Bank.

Study to test ‘chocolate pills’ for maintaining heart health It won’t be nearly as much fun as eating candy bars, but a big study is being launched to see if pills containing the nutrients in dark chocolate can help prevent heart attacks and strokes.

The pills are so packed with nutrients that you’d have to eat a gazillion candy bars to get the amount being tested in this study, which will enroll 18,000 men and women nationwide.

“People eat chocolate because they enjoy it,” not because they think it’s good for them, and the idea of the study is to see whether there are health benefits from chocolate’s ingredients minus the sugar and fat, said Dr. JoAnn Manson, preventive medicine chief at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

CAIRO — Egypt’s crackdown on Islamists has jailed 16,000 people over the past eight months in the country’s biggest round-up in nearly two decades, according to previously unreleased figures from security officials. Rights activists say reports of abuses in prisons are mounting, with prisoners describing systematic beatings and miserable conditions for dozens packed into tiny cells.

The Egyptian government has not released official numbers for those arrested in the sweeps since the military ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in July. But four senior officials — two from the Interior Ministry and two from the military — gave The Associated Press a count of 16,000, including about 3,000 topor mid-level members of Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood.

The count, which is consistent with recent estimates by human rights groups, was based on a tally kept by the Interior Ministry to which the military also has access. It includes hundreds of women and minors, though the officials could not give exact figures. The officials gave the figures to the AP on condition of anonymity because the government has not released them.

U.S. censors, denies access to records more than ever WASHINGTON — The Obama administration more often than ever censored government files or outright denied access to them last year under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, according to a new analysis of federal data by The Associated Press.

The administration cited more legal exceptions it said justified withholding materials and refused a record number of times to turn over files quickly that might be especially newsworthy. Most agencies also took longer to answer records requests, the analysis found.

The government’s own figures from 99 federal agencies covering six years show that half way through its second term, the administration has made few meaningful improvements in the way it releases records despite its promises from Day 1 to become the most transparent administration in history.

In category after category — except for reducing numbers of old requests and a slight increase in how often it waived copying fees — the government’s efforts to be more open about its activities last year were their worst since President Barack Obama took office.

Newtown struggles for funding

HARTFORD, Conn. — Some of the charities paying for mental health care for children and families affected by the Sandy Hook massacre are running short of money, and officials don’t know how much they’ll need — and for how long — to repair the psychological scars from the shooting.

Newtown officials are applying for a federal grant, and charities are pooling their resources in an attempt to ensure that free longterm mental health care remains available following the December 2012 shooting that left 20 first graders and six educators dead.

“We hear in the media, ‘Well Sandy Hook was 14 months ago, isn’t everything fine?’ ” said Candice Bohr, executive director of the Newtown Youth and Family Services. “Well, no it’s not, and we get calls every day from the school wanting to address an issue. I would love to say that in 10 years, we’re going to see a huge drop and everyone’s better and we’ve moved on, but that’s not the case.”

Three of the charities that have been providing funds for services have started working together, while the charity that has raised the most money — the NewtownSandy Hook Community Foundation — says that it will likely join the alliance soon.

The Newtown Lions Club, which raised $350,000 for mentalhealth services in the wake of the shooting, has told the 250 people it served that it could no longer directly pay their mental health bills because fundraising was being outpaced by demand.

“The demand was well beyond anything we could have predicted,” said Peter McNulty, president of the Lions Club.

Other charities are picking up the slack. The town’s Rotary Club and the Newtown Memorial Fund, which had been spending a combined $30,000 a month on mental health care for 150 families, partnered with the Lions Club, said Brian Mauriello, founder of the Newtown Memorial Fund.

Those who need help are being steered to the state’s Office of Victim Services, which processes applications for money from a pool created by all three charities.

So far, nobody has been turned down.

“I don’t think anybody has a crystal ball to say whether there’s going to be enough money or not,” said Linda Cimino, the director of the state Office of Victim’s Services. “I do know that the plan is for a 15-year horizon.”

REP

RALEIGH, N.C. — Defense attorneys said Sunday that the Army will drop sexual assault charges against a general under a plea deal that marks the end of a closely watched case that unfolded as the military grapples with sex crimes within the ranks.

Lawyers representing Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair said he will plead to lesser charges in exchange for the dropping of the sexual assault charges and two other counts that might have required Sinclair to register as a sex offender.

Sinclair, 51, had been accused of twice forcing a female captain under his command to perform oral sex during a threeyear extramarital affair. But the Army’s case against Sinclair crumbled in recent weeks as questions arose about whether the woman had lied in a pretrial hearing.

The defense provided a copy of the plea agreement approved and signed by a high-ranking general overseeing the case.

Sinclair is expected to enter the new pleas when his court martial reconvenes Monday morning at Fort Bragg.

The married 27-year Army veteran pleaded guilty earlier this month to having improper relationships with three subordinate officers, including the female captain who accused him of assault. He also pleaded guilty to adultery, which is a crime in the military.

Under the plea deal reached over the weekend, Sinclair will also admit abusing a government credit card he used while traveling to visit his mistress.

Defense attorney Richard Scheff said that Sinclair is admitting to his mistakes, but added that the general is pleading guilty to behavior that likely wouldn’t be criminal in the civilian world.

“After wasting millions of taxpayer dollars, the Army finally

admitted what it’s known for many months: General Sinclair is innocent of sexual assault,” Scheff said. “Brigadier General Jeffrey Sinclair has Sinclair admitted to mistakes that are normally a matter between husbands and wives, or employees and HR departments. It’s time to put this matter to rest.”

The former deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, Sinclair is believed to be the highest-ranking U.S. military officer to ever face court martial on sexual assault charges.

A spokesman for Fort Bragg commander Maj. Gen. Clarence K.K. Chinn, who approved Sinclair’s plea deal, could not immediately be reached for comment.

According to the defense, a separate agreement reached with Chinn will dictate what punishments Sinclair will receive. He could face more than 15 years in prison and dismissal from the Army, though the plea agreement is likely to call for a punishment much lower than the maximum penalties.

That part of the agreement will remain secret until after the judge overseeing the case, Col. James Pohl, conducts a sentencing hearing later this week.

That process will include testimony from about 20 witnesses.

With more information, he said, the search zone could be narrowed “to an area that is more feasible.”

U.S. warns Russia against annexing Crimea

By Karen DeYoung The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Having failed to prevent a Russian-sponsored referendum in Crimea, the Obama administration and its European allies refocused their efforts Sunday on keeping Moscow from annexing the autonomous Ukrainian region and expanding its military moves into other parts of Ukraine.

In a telephone call to Russian President Vladimir Putin — his third in two weeks — President Barack Obama said that the referendum “would never be recognized by the United States and the international community” and that “we are prepared to impose additional costs on Russia for its actions,” the White House said.

An earlier White House statement, issued as Crimean polls

were closing on an overwhelming vote by residents to become part of Russia, called Moscow’s actions “dangerous and destabilizing” and said that “military intervention and violation of international law will bring increasing costs for Russia.”

European Union officials are due to meet Monday to consider measures — including an asset freeze and a travel ban on as-yetunnamed Russian individuals deemed responsible for military aggression and corruption in Ukraine — that British Foreign Secretary William Hague said “must be adopted.”

But how far the West is prepared to go in punishing Russia for the referendum, and how much further Putin intends to take his quest for control over part, if not all, of Ukraine, remain uncertain.

Obama administration prom-

ises last week to exact a cost if the vote were held — even before new Russian military exercises on Ukraine’s eastern and southern borders and Saturday’s seizure of a Ukrainian gas plant just beyond Crimea’s northern boundary — would seem to make the imposition of at least some sanctions this week a foregone conclusion.

The question for the West is whether harsh retribution now will make Putin more or less likely to desist from further action. Although he has so far been impervious to American and European threats, U.S. officials think that the cost the upheaval has already imposed on the Russian economy will become unbearable if Putin does not yield.

The West could also suffer costs if Russia cuts off energy supplies to Europe and further

squeezes the Ukrainian economy.

But Western officials say that is a price they are willing to pay and have pledged economic support to Ukraine.

At the same time, the Obama administration wants to hold more severe punishment in reserve, to unleash in response to annexation or further Russian attempts to destabilize Ukraine.

“In this century, we are long past the days when the international community will stand quietly by while one country forcibly seizes the territory of another,” the White House statement said. “We call on all members of the international community to continue to condemn such actions, to take concrete steps to impose costs, and to stand together in support of the Ukrainian people and Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.”

Short of immediate Russian annexation, U.S. officials said, post-referendum Crimea is likely to continue in a sort of limbo status — while both Russia and the West decide what to do about it.

As he has since the Ukraine crisis began last month, Obama urged Putin to take advantage of “a clear path for resolving this crisis diplomatically” that would allow international monitors to investigate alleged abuses against the ethnic Russians in Crimea whom Moscow says it is protecting. The West, along with numerous reporters in the region, has said the abuses are largely nonexistent.

The Kremlin also reported on the call, saying Putin told Obama that the referendum was “fully consistent with the norms of international law and the U.N. charter” and comparing the Crimea situation to the West’s

recognition of a legal framework for the breakup of the former Yugoslavia.

Ukraine’s interim government, under close guidance from the United States and Europe, has offered constitutional reforms and consultation with Russia on a new arrangement for increased Crimean autonomy. Presidential elections scheduled for May 25 in Ukraine will “provide a legitimate opportunity for all Ukrainians to make their voices heard on the future of their country,” the White House repeated Sunday.

But Obama, the White House said, “reiterated that a diplomatic resolution cannot be achieved while Russian military forces continue their incursions into Ukrainian territory and that the large-scale Russian military exercises on Ukraine’s borders only exacerbate the tension.”

Secede: Final results due Monday; Kiev calls referendum a ‘circus’ Continued from Page A-1 International Peace, suggested the confrontation could intensify.

Russia “is really turning its back on the outside world and is basically going to say to the West, ‘Now, go ahead.

Show us how tough you are.’ And the West, I think, is struggling to come with an adequate response.”

The Crimean parliament planned to meet Monday to formally ask Moscow to be annexed, and Crimean lawmakers were to fly to Moscow later in the day for talks, Crimea’s pro-Russia prime minister said on Twitter.

Russian lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky said the annexation could take “from three days to three months,” according to the Interfax news agency.

Some residents in Crimea said they feared the new Ukrainian government that took over when President Viktor Yanukovych fled to Russia last month would oppress them.

“It’s like they’re crazy Texans in western Ukraine. Imagine if the Texans suddenly took over power [in Washington] and told everyone they should speak Texan,” said Ilya Khlebanov, a voter in Simferopol.

Ukraine’s new prime minister insisted that neither Ukraine nor the

Pro-Russian residents celebrate in Lenin Square, in Simferopol, Ukraine on Sunday. Crimean voters overwhelmingly supported a contentious referendum on seceding from Ukraine and seeking annexation by Russia.

West would recognize the vote.

“Under the stage direction of the Russian Federation, a circus performance is underway: the so-called referendum,” Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Sunday. “Also taking part in the performance are 21,000

Russian troops, who with their guns are trying to prove the legality of the referendum.”

As soon as the polls closed, the White House again denounced the vote.

“The international community will

not recognize the results of a poll administered under threats of violence,” it said in a statement. “Russia’s actions are dangerous and destabilizing.”

Russia raised the stakes Saturday when its forces, backed by helicopter gunships and armored vehicles, took control of the Ukrainian village of Strilkove and a key natural gas distribution plant nearby — the first Russian military move into Ukraine beyond the Crimean peninsula of 2 million people.

The Russian forces later returned the village but kept control of the gas plant.

On Sunday, Ukrainian soldiers were digging trenches and erecting barricades between the village and the gas plant.

“We will not let them advance further into Ukrainian territory,” said Serhiy Kuz, commander of a Ukrainian paratrooper battalion.

Despite the threat of sanctions, Putin has vigorously resisted calls to pull back in Crimea. At the United Nations on Saturday, Russia vetoed a Security Council resolution declaring the referendum illegal.

However, Putin spoke with President Barack Obama and supported a proposal from Germany to expand an international observer mission in Ukraine, the Kremlin said Sunday in a statement after the vote.

“The heads of state noted that despite the differences in their assessments, it was necessary to work together to find a way to stabilize the situation in Ukraine,” the statement said.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who also spoke with Putin on Sunday, wants more observers sent to tense areas, particularly in eastern Ukraine, her spokesman said. Putin told Obama that such a mission would be welcome but would need to be extended to all regions in Ukraine, the Kremlin said.

In Donetsk, one of the main cities in eastern Ukraine, pro-Russia demonstrators called Sunday for a referendum similar to the one in Crimea.

In the streets of Sevastopol, the Crimean port where Russia now leases a major naval base from Ukraine for $98 million a year, speakers blared the city anthem, but the military threat was not far away — a Russian naval warship still blocked the port’s outlet to the Black Sea, trapping Ukrainian boats.

At a polling station inside a historic school, tears came to Vladimir Lozovoy, a 75-year-old retired Soviet naval officer, as he talked about his vote.

“I want to cry. I have finally returned to my motherland. It is an incredible feeling. This is the thing I have been waiting for, for 23 years,” he said.

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Charlas que vale la pena tener

M

ucho gusto, Santa Fe. Mi nombre es Esther J. Cepeda y mis columnas figurarán en sus páginas, con la esperanza de aumentar, así, su información y hasta de provocar su inspiración. Tiendo a citar muchos estudios de investigación — recorro publicaciones académicas para que ustedes no tengan que hacerlo — pues escribo sobre educación, especialmente sobre el movimiento reformista en la educación; sobre temas de salud, como la obesidad y la diabetes; sobre la crianza de los hijos y el bienestar general y sobre temas de actualidad de política e inmigración.

Esther Por ser una ávida lectora, trato de Cepeda compartir lo que leo e incorporar mis hallazgos en columnas sobre las exigencias del trabajo, los logros, el equilibrio necesario en la vida y la comprensión del mundo en que vivimos. La pequeña parte del mundo donde me muevo es Chicago, Ill., donde vivo con mis dos hijos adolescentes, mi esposo, que es profesor de escuela secundaria, y mi perro. Con mucho gusto espero que me cuenten lo que es importante en su región.

CHICAGO — Hablar con los hijos puede ser difícil.

Realmente difícil. Hasta aquellos niños que nunca dejan de charlar sobre todos los detalles imaginables de sus dibujos animados preferidos se quedan totalmente mudos cuando se les pregunta: “¿Cómo te fue hoy?” “¿Qué aprendiste en la escuela?” o “¿Qué novedades hay?”

“No me gusta que me pregunten qué hay de nuevo,” declaró mi hijo de 12 años en el desayuno, el otro día.

Bueno, por lo menos fueron 10 palabras más de las que obtengo generalmente. Mis preguntas parecen tener la misma respuesta, de una palabra, todos los días: “Bien” o “Nada.”

Sin causar sorpresa a todo el que haya estado en un restaurante familiar el pasado año, un nuevo estudio de la publicación Pediatrics confirmó que, cada vez más, las familias van a comer juntas y después sus miembros se ignoran mutuamente, prestando atención a iPads, iPhones, videojuegos portátiles y cualquier otra manera de pasar el tiempo, mientras mamá y papá examinan su correo electrónico o navegan por Internet.

Los investigadores observaron a 55 adultos que comían con uno o más niños pequeños en restaurantes al paso, en una única zona metropolitana. Identificaron después patrones comunes de utilización de aparatos.

Cuarenta usaron sus aparatos portátiles durante las comidas y demostraron diversos grados de absorción con sus teléfonos, en lugar de con sus hijos. Los niños reaccionaron entreteniéndose solos o escalando sus llamados de atención. Los investigadores notaron que los adultos muy absortos a menudo respondieron duramente a la mala conducta de los niños. ¿Quién sabe si esos individuos son idiotas despistados o simplemente se encontraron con paredes de “Nada” o el habitual “No lo sé” tantas veces que se dieron por vencidos?

De cualquier manera, no es necesario ser científico y estar al tanto de las últimas investigaciones sobre el impacto de las interacciones padres-hijos sobre el vocabulario, el control de la impulsividad y las relaciones interpersonales, para saber que este fenómeno no es positivo.

Pero, ¿cómo logra uno que sus hijos, especialmente los adolescentes, hablen?

Tal como pueden ver por mi “conversación” del desayuno, no soy ninguna experta. Pero sí tengo dos maneras probadas de entablar una conversación amplia y concienzuda con los niños, en la cena.

No. 1: Preséntense con noticias.

Durante el mes pasado mi familia ha conversado sobre la opinión de un columnista acerca de cómo tratar a individuos que han pasado por una tragedia o que están haciendo el duelo de una muerte cercana; y sobre la noticia de 10,4 millones de hombres, en la flor de la vida laboral, que no tienen puestos de trabajo y muchos que no los buscan. (Resulta que mi hijo de 15 años tiene la idea de ser un papá que se queda en casa. ¿Quién lo hubiera pensado?)

Esta semana hablaremos de la crítica de A.O. Scott sobre el nuevo film de Wes Anderson “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Hemos visto todas las películas de Anderson múltiples veces y realmente las “comprendemos,” pero no hará daño aclarar un par de cosas sobre la cultura europea del siglo XX y la Cortina de Hierro.

Hablar de los acontecimientos del día es perfecto para los niños, porque practican una destreza fundamentalmente adulta, sin la presión de hablar sobre sí mismos.

No.2: Preséntense con preguntas preparadas, una mente amplia y un toque suave.

Esa técnica es especialmente adecuada para los que no hablan fácilmente. Obtengan el libro All About Me de Phillipp Keel, y simplemente larguen preguntas para que todos los de la mesa contesten. “[Describe] uno de tus momentos más pacíficos” o “[Describe] un país que te daría miedo explorar.”

O prueben también The Game of Scruples. No jugamos ese juego de mesa durante las comidas; pero nos turnamos en leer las tarjetas del juego y en contestar honestamente. “Tu jefe se presenta en el trabajo con un horrible peinado y pregunta si te gusta. ¿Mientes y dices que ‘sí?’ ” “El cajero te dio un billete de 20 dólares de más. ¿Le dices a él o ella que cometió un error?” Algunas preguntas son delicadas — y algunas respuestas requieren mantener las emociones bajo control — pero definitivamente vale la pena hacerlas.

Acabamos de comprar Would You Rather …? que presenta preguntas como: “¿Preferirías enterarte de que tus padres son en secreto espías o extraterrestres?” y “¿Preferirías que siete samuráis juraran protegerte o 500 hamsters?”

Escogidas al azar, las preguntas que no son personales brindan a los niños la libertad de abrirse, sin sentir que arriesgan algo. Además se enteran de todo tipo de cosas sobre sus padres, también, haciendo que la conversación sea suficientemente entretenida para que participen hasta a los más devotos usuarios de teléfonos (y con la esperanza de que Mamá y Papá sean espías).

Hombre de la corte

Por Steve Terrell The New Mexican

P

atricio Serna recientemente visitó el edificio donde pasó 16 años — La Suprema Corte de Justicia de Nuevo México. Es obvio que Serna, 74, todavía ve con asombro el edificio — construido en 1937 por la agencia gubernamental de Administración para el Progreso de Obras del New Deal. De paso por la biblioteca de leyes, Serna, por hábito, susurra, aunque la biblioteca ha estado cerrada por varias semanas para renovar el piso. Él mostró con orgullo al reportero el segundo piso donde las paredes están cubiertas de retratos de jueces jubilados, incluyendo la suya.

“Los azulejos vinieron de Italia,” comenta, apuntando al piso. “Me encantaba trabajar aquí.”

Pero Serna, jubilado en agosto de 2012, ha estado muy ocupado como para pasar su tiempo viviendo en el pasado.

Fue nombrado Santa Fe Living Treasure y al parecer está determinado a vivir como tal.

Es mentor de una estudiante de leyes en su primer año, quien asiste a la Universidad de Nuevo México bajo una beca que lleva su nombre, establecida después de su retiro. La estudiante es una madre soltera de Santa Fe. “Cada dos semanas, voy y reviso como va todo con la estudiante y su trabajo escrito.

Respondo a sus preguntas sobre diversos temas. Su avance es muy bueno. Es muy trabajadora.”

Serna tiene una exposición de sus pinturas de paisajes de Nuevo México (cuatro acrílicos y una acuarela) en la Escuela de Leyes de UNM. Menciona que no tiene interés en vender las pinturas, pero está buscando tener impresiones para poner a la venta. La pintura, dice, fue algo que hizo de joven pero dejo de lado por muchos años para enfocarse en su familia y su carrera.

Ahora está empezando una obra de no ficción sobre un capítulo reciente en la historia de Nuevo México – que no quiere discutir por el momento hasta que se acerque la fecha de publicación.

Y

El Presidente del Tribunal Patricio Serna se muestra en el segundo piso del edificio de la Suprema Corte de Justicia, donde las paredes están cubiertas de los retratos de jueces jubilados, incluyendo la suya. STEVE TERRELL/THE NEW MEXICAN

Aún es voluntario de The Food Depot cada miércoles.

“Hasta adquirí un cinturón para mi espalda,” comenta.

“Cargar los costales de papas de 50 libras, me deja la espalda adolorida.”

La carrera de Serna parece salida de una historia de Horacio Alger. Nació en Reserve, N.M. en el Condado de Catron, uno de ocho hijos de Pablo Fajardo Serna. Su madre murió antes de que él tuviera 2 años. Cuando era niño, su casa no tenía drenaje o electricidad.

Serna dice que le fue bien en la preparatoria y de hecho, fue el primer miembro de su familia en terminarla. Pero dijo que no tenía planeado asistir a la universidad hasta que el padre local lo ayudó a entrar al antiguo College of St. Joseph on the Rio Grande en Albuquerque. Después de graduarse, fue reclutado en el ejército de Estados Unidos por un término de dos años.

Serna entonces obtuvo un título en leyes de la Universi-

dad de Denver y una maestría en leyes de Harvard.

Trabajó en la Comisión de Igualdad de Oportunidades en Washington, D.C., luego regresó a Nuevo México en los 1970s para trabajar para el entonces Procurador General Toney Anaya. Fue elegido como Juez del Tribunal del Distrito en Santa Fe en 1984.

En 1996, se postulo con éxito para la Suprema Corte.

Serna comenta que al hablar con los jóvenes, dice, “Si este pobre muchacho de Reserve pudo llegar a ser Presidente del Tribunal del Distrito, piense lo que ustedes podrían llegar a ser. …

Alguien como yo, sin linaje o posición social, pudo ir a la universidad, estudiar leyes, convertirse en abogado, para luego ser Juez de la Corte del Distrito, de la Suprema Corte de Justicia y Presidente del Tribunal, entonces el sueño americano si es posible.”

a casi era el Thursday de Holy Week. Canutito y Grama Cuca estaban sitting cerca de la mesa just talking.

Grampo Caralampio came into la cocina todo hungry. “¡Ay, cómo tengo hambre!” he exclaimed. “I could eat un bonche de panqueques and ocho o nueves pedazos de bacon. And while you are preparándolos,” he said to Grama Cuca, “¿Por qué no me haces fry tres Larry Torres huevos also?”

Growing up “¡Grampo!”

Spanglish Canutito exclaimed.

“Today is el Jueves Santo and on Holy Thursday we are supposed to fast de too much comida.”

“That’s true,” Grama Cuca added. “En los días santos como Holy Thursday even los pajaritos ayunan.”

“Really?” Canutito asked, todo impressed. “Do the little birds really fast en los holy days? They don’t even eat lombrices, maíz nor nada?”

“That’s right,” Grama Cuca said. “No comen ni worms, ni corn ni nothing. People used to hacer believe que si no hacías fast en los holy days, when you died you would go pa’l Purgatorio.”

“What is ‘el Purgatorio,’ grama?”

Canutito asked her todo curious.

“Purgatory is a place que no es Heaven y no es Hell. Pero es un place de purificación y los spirits que are there se llaman ánimas.

Have you ever seen esa foto de una burning lady in chains que tengo en el bedroom? She is called ‘La Ánima Sóla.’ ” “I’ve always thought que la burning lady era un poco scary,” Canutito said. “Pero. ¿Por qué tiene chains en sus brazos?”

“Las cadenas on her arms son her sins que la tienen weighed down,” grama said.

“I wonder what kinds of pecados the lady commited que la tienen toda weighed down?”

Canutito wondered out loud.

“I bet que la lady probably went pa’l Purgatorio porque she washed her hair on Holy Thursday,” Grampo Caralampio threw in. That’s probably why she was penando.”

“Was she really atoning for her sin porque she washed her cabello on Jueves Santo?” Canutito asked.

“I didn’t know que era un sin for people to lavarse el cabello on Holy Thursday.”

“It isn’t!” Grama Cuca exclamó.

“That is just an old creencia que people used to have. Era una silly superstition.”

“Entonces la Ánima Sóla is probably in chains porque she crossed her legs in church,” grampo said con convicción. “That is a sin.”

“Es una otra silly tontera,” grama said.

“Oh, thank God,” Canutito said, “Por qué the other day yo hize cross mis legs en la iglesia cuando one of them fell asleep.”

“Entonces,” continued Grampo Caralampio, “La Ánima Sóla is probably en el Purgatorio porque she chewed gum in church. Now, I know que when you chew chíquite en la iglesia you are really chewing on the bones of dead people.” “Ésa es otra silly superstition,” grama said. “Es un sin porque no es respectful y porque people sometimes stick their gum under los asientos.”

On the following day, que era Good Friday, Grampo Caralampio was hablando when a housefly flew into his open mouth and he swallowed it.

“Ah, now you are going to become una ánima en penas,” Grama Cuca teased. “By swallowing ese mosco, you have eaten carne on Good Friday. Es una mortal sin to eat meat en el Viernes Santo. That will land you en el Infierno.”

Grampo got todo scared. Maybe he should have washed his cabello on Jueves Santo instead …

Google Glass takes uneasy first steps

Technology is groundbreaking, but also pricey, bulky and at times embarrassing

ables yet,” he says. “[But] I’m ready. Others are ready.”

Nevermind implants, I’m not sure I’m even ready for Google Glass.

Specs in place for the first time, I walked out of Google’s Manhattan showroom on a recent Friday afternoon with a sense of unease.

A wave of questions washed over me. Why is everyone looking at me? Should I be looking at them?

Should I have chosen the orange Glass instead of charcoal?

Ideally, Google Glass lets you do many of the things we now do with our smartphones, such as taking photos, reading news headlines or talking to our mothers on Sunday evenings — handsfree. But it comes with a bit of baggage.

Glass feels heavier when I’m out in public or in a group where I’m the only person wearing it. If I think about it long enough my face starts burning from embarrassment. The device has been described to me as “the scarlet letter of technology” by a friend.

The most frequent response I get from my husband when I try to slip Glass on in his presence is “please take that off.” This is the same husband who encouraged me to buy a sweater covered in googly-eyed cats.

Instead of looking at the world through a new lens on a crowded rush-hour sidewalk, I felt as if the whole world was looking at me. That’s no small feat in New York, where even celebrities are afforded a sense of privacy and where making eye contact with strangers can amount to an entire conversation.

Glass is getting some bad press

lately. Some bars and coffee shops in Silicon Valley and Seattle have banned Google Glass, for example, and federal authorities in Ohio interrogated a man earlier this year after he was suspected of recording a movie with the device. Last month, Google put out a Glass etiquette guide that includes the appeal “don’t be creepy or rude.”

But the truth is that it’s a groundbreaking device, even if it doesn’t take off, even if it evolves into something completely different, even if we laugh at it 10 years from now while driving our flying cars in the skies of Manhattan.

Experts say there is no proof that children’s apps are educational

NEW YORK haped like a lopsided headband, Google Glass is an unassuming piece of technology when you’re holding it in your hands. You feel as if you can almost break it, testing its flexibility. Putting it on, though, is another story.

Once you do, this Internet-connected eyewear takes on a life of its own. You become “the person wearing Google Glass” and all the assumptions that brings with it — about your wealth, boorishness or curiosity. Such is the fate of early adopters of new technologies, whether it’s the Sony Walkman, the first iPod with its conspicuous white earbuds or the Segway scooter. Google calls the people who wear Glass “explorers,” because the device is not yet available to the general public.

With its $1,500 price tag, the device is far from having mass appeal. At the South By Southwest Interactive tech jamboree in Austin this week, I counted fewer than a dozen people wearing it, including technology blogger Robert Scoble, who isn’t shy about posting pictures of himself in the shower, red-faced, water running, wearing the device.

Google, like most successful technology companies, dreamers and inventors, likes to take a long view on things. It calls some of its most outlandish projects “moonshots.” Besides Glass, these include its driverless car, balloons that deliver Internet service to remote parts of the world and contact lenses that monitor glucose levels in diabetics.

There’s an inherent risk in moonshots, however: What if you never reach the moon? Ten years from now, we may look back at Google Glass as one of those shortlived bridges that takes us from one technological breakthrough to the next, just as pagers, MP3 players and personal digital assistants paved the way for the era of the smartphone. Fitness bands, too, may fit into this category.

In its current, early version, Google Glass feels bulky on my face, and when I look in the mirror, I see a futuristic telemarketer looking back at me. Wearing it on the subway while a homeless man shuffled through the car begging for change made me feel as if I was sporting a diamond tiara. I sank lower in my seat as he passed. If Google is aiming for mass appeal, the next versions of Glass have to be much smaller and less conspicuous.

Though no one knows for sure where wearable devices will lead us, Rodrigo Martinez, life sciences chief strategist at the Silicon Valley design firm IDEO, has some ideas. “The reason we are talking about wearables is because we are not at implant-

No, an iPad won’t turn your baby into Einstein

I squeezed into the subway with my fellow commuters — comparisons to the Segway scooter, and a warning that it will prove to be a huge battery drainer if I use my iPhone to connect Glass to the Internet.

For more human interaction, I walked into a small macaroon shop to buy a friend some birthday sweets. Alone but for the store clerks, I fumbled to take them off, find a place to put them on the small counter and get my wallet out of my bag.

“Sorry. You’re the first people I’m interacting with wearing these. I don’t mean to be a jerk,” I told the man and woman at the counter. I took off Glass for the same reason that I take out my earbuds when I am talking to people. I don’t want to appear like I am not paying attention to them.

It was fine, though. The woman thought Glass was cool. The man, he might not have, but he didn’t say anything.

Can mobile apps help babies learn their A, B, Cs and 1, 2, 3s?

Doubtful, say several child development and educational experts from Harvard, Columbia and other universities in opinions that could hobble the breakneck growth of the online “baby genius” market. A slew of applications, some among the most popular on the iTunes and Android marketplaces, have captured the aspirations of parents hoping to give their babies — as young as newborns — an early start on education.

But despite claims by Fisher-Price and other creators of the baby genius apps, there has never been conclusive research to prove that putting a baby in front of an app is educational.

On Thursday, the consumer advocacy group Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, or CCFC, submitted the opinions of six experts on early childhood development and education to the Federal Trade Commission. The group was following up on a complaint last summer against Fisher Price for allegedly deceiving parents about the educational value of their Laugh & Learn apps for infants and small children.

“Based on scientific evidence on how infants learn, I believe that claims that a two-dimensional touch screen app can teach alphabet letters, numbers and counting from 1 to 10 to babies [including those as young as 6 months] are inaccurate, seriously misleading to parents and potentially detrimental to infant development,” said Laura Berk, a professor of psychology at Illinois State University.

“Advertising claims that touch screen devices can successfully teach number concepts and counting to babies as young as 6 months are deceptive,” wrote Herbert Ginsburg, a professor of psychology and education at Columbia University’s Teacher’s College.

He added that very young children aren’t capable of learning numbers in the way Fisher-Price promises.

“Existing research suggests that infants and very young children are not cognitively ready to learn key abstract ideas about numbers. Although some children at the upper bounds of this age range might learn to parrot some number words they are highly unlikely to learn important concepts of numbers.”

Fisher-Price didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The FTC didn’t confirm whether it was investigating the CCFC’s claim against the toy maker. FTC staff met with CCFC director Susan Linn in September and asked the group if concerns arose from the use of mobile devices as educational tools or from claims the apps were capable of teaching reading and math concepts.

Linn said the opinions by six experts show both the use of devices by infants and educational claims about the apps were troubling.

“In addition to persuading parents to waste money on useless products, marketing products for babies as teaching numbers and letters sends a troubling and potentially harmful message to parents about learning and how babies should spend their time,” Linn said. Instead of parking babies in front of devices, she said, parents should be encouraged to engage in “hands-on creative play, active play, and active engagement with the adults who love them.”

The thoughts echo those of the American Academy of Pediatrics, which says that any screen media should be discouraged for children under the age of 2. The AAP suggests more research should be done on the potential benefits or harms of mobile devices for young children.

On Apple’s iTunes store, Fisher-Price notes that it sells a stuffed toy monkey to be used with its Laugh & Learn app. “Place your Apple device in the Monkey and press his paws to interact with the content on screen,” the instructions read. When a child taps on a letter, the monkey dances and sings the numbers aloud.

At the center of the CCFC’s complaint filed to the FTC last summer is Fisher-Price’s claim that its suite of Laugh & Learn apps “teaches letters A-Z, numbers & counting 1-10, shapes, colors and action/reaction.”

Cars could be a step ahead of their drivers Mercedes works to develop sensors to predict preferences of those behind the wheel

By Roy Furchgott

The New York Times

If a car already knows where you like your seat positioned, what radio stations you favor and how you want the air-conditioning set, would you be more likely to buy it?

Mercedes-Benz thinks you might be. A project to develop what it calls the predictive user experience will observe how drivers and passengers use a car and analyze the data to anticipate their wants, from mirror positioning to GPS destinations. Those preferences could then be transferred among Mercedes — and only Mercedes — vehicles, adding a reason for customers to stay with the brand.

“Today, when you purchase a car or lease a car, you need to spend a long time, sometimes weeks, before you set your car up the way you want it,” said Johann Jungwirth, chief

executive of Mercedes Research and Development North America.

In the predictive technology project, created as a prototype for the Concept S-Class Coupé shown at the Frankfurt, Germany, motor show last year, all of a driver’s preferences and settings are transferable from car to car.

The project is an offshoot of the development of so-called connected cars, a concept advancing rapidly with the drop in the price of sensors and processing power. It has become relatively inexpensive to measure anything from who is in the car to how a driver likes to shift gears — and analyze that input to predict the next action.

What makes the Mercedes approach unusual is the degree to which it tunes its sensors in on the occupants. If the sensors

detect a child in the car at 7:30 a.m. on a weekday, it might automatically post a traffic report for the route to school on the navigation screen. No child on board? It could display traffic en route to the office.

Jungwirth said no data would be shared without a driver’s permission. But there are advantages to sharing. Diagnostic monitoring would let dealers warn drivers of problems before they need roadside assistance. And as more cars are connected, broader benefits emerge: By monitoring cars’ suspensions to sense when a driver hits a pothole, the car could let authorities know where roadwork is needed.

But first, people must be convinced that monitoring is in their interest, especially if they suspect that the information might be used to sell tires instead of fixing potholes.

If the sensors detect a child in the car at 7:30 a.m. on a weekday, it might automatically post a traffic report for the route to school on the navigation screen.

People hoping to find an allergy-free haven may be out of luck. A new study has found that no region of the United States is allergy-free, but the kind of allergy people are likely to suffer from varies by region, race and socioeconomic status.

Researchers gave blood tests to 8,124 people, 856 of them children under 6, to detect immunoglobulin E antibodies, or IgEs. The presence of an IgE antibody that reacts to a specific substance increases the risk of having an allergy-related illness like allergic asthma, hay fever or rash.

The scientists tested people for antibodies to a range of potential allergens, including cats, dogs, milk, cockroaches, peanuts, grass, ragweed and shrimp.

No matter where they lived, about 45 percent of people over 6 had positive tests for at least one allergen, and so did 36 percent of the children 1 to 5 years old.

“To me, the biggest surprise is that the level of sensitivities didn’t differ region to region,” said the senior author, Dr. Darryl C. Zeldin, a scientific director at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

“This goes completely against what most people would have said. The bottom line is that sensitization patterns differ by region, but overall sensitization rates are high.”

Grass and ragweed sensitivities were higher in the West, mold allergy more common in the East. Positive tests for indoor allergens were higher in the East than the West, but there were almost no regional differences for peanut, shrimp, egg, dog, cat, rat and mouse sensitivities.

The most common positive tests among the adult group were for dust mites, grass and ragweed, with almost 20 percent of the population showing sensitivity to each. About 12 percent of people over 6 were sensitive to dogs or cats, and among the youngest children, milk and eggs were the most common positive tests. Inhalant allergies like ragweed and grass peaked in the teens and 20s, then decreased later in life.

Race and socioeconomic status also made a difference. Non-Hispanic blacks had the highest sensitivity to all tested allergens except Russian thistle and egg. Sensitivity to cockroaches and shrimp were associated with lower economic status, and dog and cat allergies were more common in higher income groups.

In large metropolitan areas, 50 percent of the population was sensitized to at least one allergen, but only 40 percent in rural areas. Outdoor allergens like grass and ragweed affected 37.8 percent of the urban population, but less than a quarter of people in nonmetropolitan areas, possibly because respiratory allergies are associated with air pollution.

The study, published online in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, also found that allergies cluster in groups: people sensitive to dust mites are also likely to be sensitive to grass and tree pollen; sensitivity to peanuts, usually considered a food allergy, tends to cluster with plant allergies; cockroach and shrimp sensitivity are a common pair, probably because they contain a similar allergen, a protein called tropomyosin.

Ganesa Wegienka, an epidemiologist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit who was not involved in the research, said that the paper provided “a nice snapshot of what’s going on in the U.S.,” and she was especially impressed with the data on clusters of sensitivities. “This has implications for doctors and patients,” she said. “If a child is sensitized to one allergen in a cluster of allergens, maybe the doctor should be looking at other allergens in the cluster to think about treatment plans.”

Insomnia — there’s an app for that?

By Molly Young

The New York Times

Insomnia is always a miserable experience, but at least it used to be an eclectic one. On long nights, a sleepless soul had options: toss and turn, pour a drink, smoke a cigarette, organize shoes, watch TV, count sheep, look out the window. Evelyn Waugh sipped a mixture of bromide and crème de menthe; William Styron stared straight ahead into the darkness.

Now, the restless can reach for their smartphones and browse until the sun rises or sleep descends, mesmerized by something that provides stimulation without strain, distraction without effort. And it’s right there on the bedside table.

In late 2012, the American Medical Association issued a policy stating that “exposure to excessive light at night, including extended use of various electronic media, can disrupt sleep or

exacerbate sleep disorders.” But even without the association’s corroboration, most of us understand intuitively that playing with our phones is about as sleep-conducive as bulldozing a plate of cookies. How, then, to explain the recent explosion of sleep-related apps?

Browse the iTunes store or Google Play and you’ll find them by the dozen: offerings with names like SleepBot and eSleep, represented by icons of placid sheep or glowing moons. The offerings fall into two basic categories.

One tracks sleep patterns through the smartphone’s accelerometer (the doodad that recognizes when your phone is upside-down), giving users a blueprint of their time in bed. The second promises to lull users to sleep with music, hypnosis or guided meditation.

If you’re the data-driven type, a sleep-tracking app surely appeals.

By placing the phone next to you in bed and tapping a button, you record

your movements and a sleep chart is created. But according to Dr. Clete Kushida, the medical director of the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, these apps are hardly precise.

“Without EEG — brain wave activity — it’s very hard to tell different stages of sleep apart,” Kushida said.

“People can stay still and the device will think the person’s asleep.” Still, “the advantage of these devices is that they can help individuals become more aware of a potential sleep problem,” Kushida said.

This is because we are not good at monitoring our own sleep habits, with or without a phone. “The reality of sleep is often at variance with the perception of sleep,” said Russell Sanna, executive director of the Harvard Medical School Division of Sleep Medicine. “When you ask people how well they slept after they’ve been in a sleep lab, they’ll give you an answer that’s often not a 1-to-1 correlation with

the results.”

It doesn’t help that the pressure to maintain virtuous sleep habits has never been higher. A 2011 study published in Sleep, the journal of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, suggested that the annual cost in lost productivity from insomnia is $63.2 billion in the United States, while a more recent finding published in Science magazine suggests that sleep cleans the brain of toxic proteins “like a dishwasher,” as one of the study’s authors put it. A recent Fast Company article called “Secrets of the Most Pro-

ductive People” reported the long hours of slumber logged

by Tory Burch, Pharrell Williams, Anthony Bourdain and other paragons of achievement.

Those stressed out by such standards may want to download programs like Deep Sleep With Andrew Johnson, which combines tinkly music with meditation directed by the host, with a Sean Connery accent. Sleep Fan produces white noise, while Sleep Pillow Sounds offers a more comprehensive menu of noises, including “luxury car ride,” “mother’s heartbeat,” “cold drink with ice” and four varieties of wind chime.

Tips offered by other apps include sniffing lavender oil, counting backward from 100, eating a banana, writing down problems, watching a slide show of nature-themed stock photos, replaying events from the day and pretending to float. When it comes to sedatives, there’s no one-size-fits-all.

Santa Fe home-brewer Edward Hansen plays a medley of Irish tunes on his bagpipes in anticipation of his 34th annual St. Patrick’s Day celebration. ROBERT NOTT/THE NEW MEXICAN

“They’re still married,” Hansen said of the couple.

Hansen, 62, began learning how to play the bagpipes about 10 years ago.

He is now a member of the local Order

of the Thistle Pipe and Drums. “You learn for 10 years and you practice for 10 years and then you play for 10 years, and then you know how to play,” he said. “So I have a ways to go.”

Although the pipes were loud as he played a medley of “The Wearing of the Green,” “The Minstrel Boy” and “Kelly, the Boy From Killane” in his living room, he said his next-door neighbor luckily likes the music.

Hansen sports many official titles, including “The First Grand Duke of Big Rapids,” “Chieftain of the Clan MacMillan (Laird of the Black Moor),” “Baron de Santa Fe” and (most recently) “The First Ambassador to the Planet Vulcan.” He even has a working vintage Star Trek telephone that he pulls out for his annual beer-tasting party.

How did he earn all these titles?

“They’re self-appointed,” he said.

And though he can recite a rudimentary history of St. Patrick, to Hansen the day is all about the ale itself. “For me, beer is a drink you can have anytime, anywhere,” he said.

In the end, Pino chose Kansas State for a simple reason.

He loved the coach, Tex Winter, who made him only one promise: If Pino got hurt and could no longer play basketball, he would still keep his athletic scholarship. Pino appreciated that. It meant Winter had his interests at heart, and it made the prospect of a college degree seem more attainable than ever.

Pino majored in business and minored in Spanish at Kansas State.

He became fluent in a language he thought he knew as a boy in Santa Fe. College was all he had hoped for, and basketball with Winter was a joy.

“He would put his thumb and index finger an inch apart and say, ‘Nick, you’re this close to being an all-American.’ ” Winter’s exhortations made Pino work harder.

Raised during the Great Depression, Winter treated life as a great adventure best navigated with encouragement. This was not to say that Winter was a pushover.

“He got rid of several all-Americans,” Pino said. “He’d say, ‘I’m sending you home,’ though I should add that he didn’t exactly put it that way.”

As a senior at Kansas State in 1968, Pino helped the Wildcats win the Big 8 Conference championship and qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Only 16 teams were invited back then.

Kansas State was leading TCU by double digits in the first round of the tournament when Pino injured a knee and was sidelined. With Pino out, TCU rallied to win by 5 points.

That troublesome left knee ended Pino’s chance to make the Los Angeles Lakers roster. He went into the insurance business, first in Kansas, then in Santa Fe. He moved back home in 1985 so he could be close to his parents in their twilight years.

Pino is 69 now. He said he loves running a business, and he still believes that an upbeat attitude is the first ingredient of success, in basketball and in life.

“I never liked the negative stuff.

I could never have played for Bob Knight,” he said of the former Indiana and Texas Tech coach, who was famous for winning, but notorious for belittling his players.

With the arrival of the NCAA Tournament, productivity will drop in every office in every town. Endless hours will be spent marking and erasing pages filled with teams and brackets.

The irony is that the teams in the tournament have a work ethic second to none. Pino is still working hard, too.

All those years ago, as a bony teenager they called “Nick the Stick,” he learned that being almost 7 feet tall was not nearly enough to succeed.

Santa Fe

Walled off With regard to the March 12 story on the Historic Districts Review Board’s objections (“H-board delays El Castillo’s proposed memory center”) to El Castillo’s new memory center on East De Vargas Street: I fully agree with a board mem-

ber’s negative assessment that “all you see is a massive wall with no break in it and an institutional building that bears no resemblance to a historic structure.”

The new exterior is deplorable aesthetically and historically, and in its visual symbolism of walling off patients whose failing memories have already put them into a kind of prison. However, the H-board must have reviewed accurate drawings of the street facade months ago; interested Santa Fe residents did. Why did members not act then? If the board wishes to have credibility, it needs to do its job in a timely fashion, not complain publicly when it might be too late.

Santa Fe-area residents — take advantage of the stupidity of the City Council and the city bag ban and have a fun outing. Go to Albuquerque and do your chain store shopping — get your plastic bags — have lunch and get gas on your way home.

Sure, the profits and sales tax go to Albuquerque or the pueblos and none to Santa Fe. But there is an alternative to the Shop Local, Get Screwed Local mindset of the Santa Fe City Council. By shopping smart, you will have bags for your bathroom trash and don’t have to buy the plastic bags.

Fill ’em up and toss them in the trash just like the ones you buy.

Too bad the Santa Fe merchants and workforce will take the loss on the profits and tips. If jobs are lost due to lost sales — the employees will have to pack their stuff in reusable bags and move on — maybe to Albuquerque.

message to the nation’s women: Stop trying to be straight-A students.

No, not because you might intimidate easily emasculated future husbands.

Because, by focusing so much on grades, you might be limiting your earning and learning potential.

The college majors that tend to lead to the most profitable professions are also the stingiest about awarding A’s. Science departments grade, on a four-point scale, an average of 0.4 points lower than humanities departments, according to a 2010 analysis of national grading data by Stuart Rojstaczer and Christopher Healy.

And two new research studies suggest that women might be abandoning these lucrative disciplines precisely because they’re terrified of getting B’s.

Claudia Goldin, an economics professor at Harvard, has been examining why so few women major in her field. The majority of new college grads are female, yet women receive only 29 percent of bachelor’s degrees in economics each year.

Goldin looked at how grades awarded in an introductory economics class affected the chance that a student would ultimately major in the subject. She found that the likelihood a woman would major in economics dropped steadily as her grade fell: Women who received a B in Econ 101, for example, were about half as likely as women who received A’s to stick with the discipline. The same discouragement gradient didn’t exist for men. Of Econ 101 students, men who received A’s were about equally as likely as men who received B’s to concentrate in the dismal science.

Another research project, led by Peter Arcidiacono at Duke University, is finding similar trends in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

These STEM majors, as with economics, begin with few women enrolling and end with even fewer graduating. This

“leaky pipeline” has been somewhat puzzling, Arcidiacono said, because women enter college just as prepared as men in math and science. On average, women more eagerly spend time studying than men do, a trait that should theoretically attract women to STEM fields, which generally assign more homework.

Plenty has been written about whether hostility toward female students or a lack of female faculty members might be pushing women out of male-dominated majors such as computer science. Arcidiacono’s research, while preliminary, suggests women might also value high grades more than men do and sort themselves into fields where grading curves are more lenient.

It’s not clear from the data why women might be more sensitive to grades than men are.

“Maybe women just don’t want to get things wrong,” Goldin hypothesized.

“They don’t want to walk around being a B-minus student in something. They want to find something they can be an A student in. They want something where the professor will pat them on the back and say, ‘You’re doing so well!’ ” Guys,” she added, “don’t seem to give two damns.”

So maybe the better question is: Why aren’t men scared off by rigid grading curves?

Male students could be more overconfident — effectively, college bros shrug off gentleman’s C’s (or, more often today, gentleman’s B’s) as unrepresentative of their true brilliance.

Or maybe men have their “eyes on the prize,” in Goldin’s phrasing.

U.S. college graduates with STEM and economics degrees have among the highest median salaries. Men might be more likely to see themselves as future breadwinners and persevere in studies that are likely to maximize their earnings — come hell or high water or B-minuses.

MAllARD FillMORE

Section editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

Of course earning potential isn’t the only — or even most — important factor in choosing a discipline. (Art History Mob, please don’t come after me, too!)

Intellectual fulfillment and passion count a lot.

But I fear that women are dropping out of fields such as math and computer science not because they’ve discovered passions elsewhere but because they fear delivering imperfection in the “hard” fields that they (and potential employers) genuinely love. Remember, on net, many more women enter college intending to major in STEM or economics than exit with a degree in those fields. If women were changing their majors because they discovered new intellectual appetites, you’d expect to see greater flows into STEM fields, too.

Colleges have a role in helping women realize that quantitative fields are within their reach. Administrators might try to reduce the grading differential between humanities and STEM fields or provide better support systems for women who get discouraged.

But women must also change their myopic attitudes about the significance of grades.

Women, admirably, want to excel — and usually do, academically. We earn, on average, higher grades than men in almost every subject. (Partly, presumably, because women seem to disproportionately take classes we know we’ll do well in.) But if women want to compete with the big boys, in the disciplines and professions where men continue to dominate, we need to overcome our B-phobia.

Rinse yourselves of the intoxicating waters of Lake Wobegon, ladies, and embrace meaningful mediocrity.

Catherine Rampell, a former economics reporter for the New York Times, writes a twice-weekly column for The Washington Post.

emoaning the state of the independent bookstore and the future of publishing is commonplace these days. It’s no secret that the world of words is in transition from books on paper to e-books, with no one able to see the future.

Best-selling author James Patterson, though, is doing more than moaning. He has decided to throw his lot with the independent sellers of books across the country, aiding them as they battle Amazon, chain stores and other online merchants. To do so, Patterson has pledged $1 million of his personal fortune. He is handing out grants so that bookstore owners can give raises, improve their stores and expand their literary outreach. Two independents in Albuquerque were among the first winners of his grants last month.

Patterson believes words matter, that literature matters and that bookstores matter as a place to gather and celebrate writing. It’s been a tumultuous ride for books and publishing over the past few decades. First, big chains such as Borders (gone) and Barnes & Noble (wobbly) moved in, hurting the smaller stores with their something-for-everyone aisles and overwhelming choices. Amazon, the ubiquitous online seller, then moved in to undercut the chains with quick service, unlimited selection and cheap prices.

Now, of course, books are turning into e-books, with the reader being able to buy cheaply, with less of a cut going both to publisher and to writer. Amazon is still in the mix, selling books for the Kindle app or its proprietary Kindle product; big chains are on the ropes, and it’s anyone’s guess what will happen not just to bookstores, but to actual books. Patterson believes the future of reading is strong — but he wonders, without publishers or agents, who will help find the next great American novel. Or, he muses, without bookstores, who will help expose readers to the book they need but might miss.

In Santa Fe, of course, we are fortunate to have thriving independent bookstores — whether the iconic Collected Works, able to expand in a recession, or Garcia Street Books, The Ark Bookstore, Bee Hive children’s bookstore and so many others (like Moby Dickens in Taos). In this town, people still gather to browse on a Saturday or to attend a poetry reading and meet the author on a Sunday afternoon. Teens, even, enjoy coffee while reading magazines and chatting with friends. Bookstores — as well as our public libraries — are places where people become more intelligent and inquiring.

Patterson is right to worry. Like many industries as the world shifts, the publishing business faces uncertainty.

Traditionally, agents would read labored-over manuscripts, sorting through pounds of paper to find a touch of genius.

That model is dying. We don’t know whether there will be a replacement or whether the Internet will end up sorting through books for readers. The best-selling Fifty Shades of Grey started as an e-book published by an independent publisher in Australia.

In the meantime, thanks to Patterson for putting his money to helping bookstores weather these trying times.

Alone, he cannot be the solution to maneuvering the transition. Still, a few thousands here, a few thousands there, and perhaps more bookstores can hang on until publishing shakes itself out.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 17, 1914: Judge Abbott this afternoon granted Mrs. Benito Romero a divorce from her husband on the grounds of abandonment. He is believed to have gone to Wagon Mound, N.M. March 17, 1989: The warm spring-like weather last weekend brought Lynda McGovern out of her house to plant flowers in her backyard. As she knelt on the ground to place a mum inside the hollow of an elm tree, out came a writhing mass of garter snakes.

She recalls the snakes as being 2½ to 3 feet long, all 15 of them.

Thoroughly frightened, McGovern called a county animal control officer who said snakes are not animals and he could not help her.

“Oh stupid me,” she said. “They’re reptiles.” The officer suggested she call pest control. Using the sticky paper suggested by the pest control people seemed just too cruel and inhumane to McGovern.

Finally Charles W. Painter, a herpetologist with the state Dept. of Game and Fish, said to “hang tough for a while.” And the snakes would disburse.

Tax Tip BroughT To you By: H&R Block Monica Hardeman, Enrolled Agent 27 Years Six ESSEnTial Tax QuESTionS for firST-TimE filErS First job. First car. First apartment. First tax return. These signal some of the rites of passage into adulthood. More than 5 million taxpayers will file their own individual tax return for the first time this tax season and they may not know where to start. Many first-time filers have been dependents on someone else’s return for close to two decades, but circumstances now dictate they are required to file a tax return. To lessen the confusion, H&R Block offers this Q&A to help taxes make sense.

Q. When is a taxpayer required to file a tax return?

A. Generally, anyone earning income should consider filing a return. However, filing requirements depend on a combination of circumstances, including filing status, income and age.

For individuals just starting out, one of the biggest determining factors will be whether they are claimed as a dependent by their parents. This means taxpayers with nearly identical circumstances may have different requirements.

For example, a single 18-year-old who is claimed as a dependent, worked part-time jobs and earned $9,000 in wages and tips must file a tax return because this worker is not allowed to claim their personal exemption and only benefits from the standard deduction. Yet, if this person was not claimed as a dependent, filing would not be required because gross income did not exceed $10,000, which is the 2013 filing threshold for someone who files a return as a non-dependent single individual. The filing threshold for non-dependents is determined by adding the personal exemption and the standard deduction for the applicable filing status.

Workers who are not required to file a tax return because their income is below their filing threshold should file a return to get a refund of all taxes withheld and/or to claim other tax benefits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Q. What is the difference between a W-4 and a W-2?

A. Form W-4 is completed by the employee and is used by the employer to determine how much income tax is withheld from paychecks to cover tax liability. The amount of tax withheld is based on the number of withholding allowances an employee claims. Employees should adjust their withholding allowances when major life changes occur (e.g., change in household income, having a baby or buying a house); the number of withholding allowances is generally close to the number of exemptions claimed on tax returns.

Form W-2 is prepared by employers at the end of the year and reports wages paid and taxes withheld for the year so employees can use the information to file their tax returns. Employers mail Form W-2 in late January and some provide them online.

W-2 information also is sent to the IRS and the Social Security Administration.

Q. Which 1040 federal income tax form do I use?

A. There are three versions of Form 1040: 1040EZ, 1040A and Form 1040. Form 1040EZ is for the least complex individual tax situations and Form 1040 is for the most complex.

Form 1040EZ may be used by taxpayers with no dependents, no itemized tax deductions, income from wages and unemployment compensation, and $1,500 or less in interest income.

The only tax credit that can be claimed on Form 1040EZ is the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Form 1040A accommodates dependent exemptions, pension income and education credits.

Form 1040, “the long form,” may be used for any income level, self-employment income and all other types of income, itemized deductions and all personal credits.

Q. When are federal tax returns due?

A. The deadline for filing federal individual tax returns is typically April 15. This is also the deadline to request an automatic six-month extension to file, generally allowing taxpayers until Oct. 15 to submit a return without a late-filing penalty. To avoid late payment penalties and interest, any taxes owed must be paid by the April deadline.

Q. What do I do if I forgot to claim a tax benefit or omitted income?

An amended tax return can be filed any time of year to claim overlooked credits and deductions, include omitted income and correct the number of dependents claimed. To claim a refund, the original or amended return must generally be filed three years from the original due date of the return. For example, an amended return for tax year 2010 must be filed by April 15, 2014.

Q. Which is the better filing method – DIY or with a tax professional?

Do-it-yourself software and online tax programs select the appropriate forms and use everyday language, making tax law easier to understand. However, the assistance from a qualified tax professional can help put taxpayers of all income levels at ease and does not require any understanding of taxes.

Ultimately, it is the taxpayer’s comfort level and personal preference that determine the best method.

Mercer has already been to “Dunk City” on the way to its first NCAA Tournament since 1985, grounding the darling team everyone got to know last March.

Florida Gulf Coast, which last year became the first No. 15 seed to make it to the Sweet Sixteen, isn’t in this 68-team field after losing at home to Mercer in the Atlantic Sun Conference championship game.

So can those Bears (26-8) from Macon, Ga., duplicate what their Atlantic Sun rival did last year? Will another double-digit seed step up in all the madness this year?

Maybe it could be the team from deep in the heart of Texas with a 28-game winning streak.

Or possibly some Fightin’ Blue Hens, Chanticleers or Jaspers.

Mercer’s five senior starters are at least getting a chance they felt was missed last March.

The Bears drew a No. 14 seed in the loaded Midwest Regional and play Duke on Friday in Raleigh, N.C. While watching FGCU’s captivating NCAA run last year, after the Eagles won at Mercer for the Atlantic Sun title, all that went through Bears guard Langston Hall’s mind was, “That could have been us.”

Stephen F. Austin (31-2), the Southland Conference team from Nacogdoches, Texas, hasn’t lost in nearly four months — only No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Wichita State have won more games.

The Lumberjacks, a No. 12 seed facing VCU on Friday, were also motivated this season by a conference championship loss last March that left them out of the Big Dance then.

“It was definitely disappointing but it’s definitely fueled our engines for this year. We’ve been playing with a chip on our shoulder,” said Jacob Parker, the floppy-haired junior forward who was the Southland Conference Player of the Year. “We always say one team, one dream.

And coach’s big motto is dream big.”

Ivy league champion Harvard (26-4) is in its third consecutive NCAA Tournament after a 66-year drought and is a No. 12 seed against Cincinnati. The Crimson got their first NCAA tourney win last year as a No. 14 seed, upsetting New Mexico 68-62.

Bristol: Rain delayed Daytona

lone break of the second set to go up 5-3 after Federer pulled a forehand wide.

“I know he always comes out confident, aggressive,” Djokovic said. “He doesn’t give you the victory; you have to earn it.”

Djokovic got the early break in the third, again on one of Federer’s forehand errors, to lead 2-1. His 112-mph ace gave him a 4-2 lead, and he extended it to 5-3 with a backhand winner down the line.

Federer served a love-game to trail 5-4. Djokovic served for the match in the next game, but his forehand error allowed Federer to tie it up, 5-all.

“I was able to just keep the pressure on Novak and show him that if he slips up, I will be there and I will make it a very competitive match in the end for him,” Federer said.

Federer held at love again and Djokovic gave up just one point on his serve for a 6-all tie.

“I made my presence after that,” Djokovic said. “I stepped closer to the line and made him play an extra shot always and changing the pace of the ball. It paid off.”

The Serb raced to a 5-1 lead in the tiebreaker, helped by four errors from Federer. Another of Federer’s forehand errors gave Djokovic a 6-2 lead before the Swiss star’s ace ensured Djokovic would have to win the match on his serve. He did, when Federer’s backhand landed in the net.

“At the end, he made sure he kept the ball in play and I might have made a few too many errors when it really mattered,” Federer said.

Djokovic’s victory evened their rivalry on hard courts at

The start was delayed by almost two hours, racing began and the field got to Lap 124 before the sky opened again, and the race was stropped for another 3 hours, 18 minutes.

Much like the season-opening Daytona 500, which was stopped by rain for almost six hours, the threat of more bad weather bringing a sudden halt to the race forced the drivers to go hard every single lap.

So when a caution with 77 laps remaining sent most of the field to pit road, Edwards’ crew chief, Jimmy Fennig, made the call to leave his driver on the track. The move gave Edwards the lead on the restart with 70 laps remaining.

“I thought when Jimmy said we’re going to stay out, I thought, ‘Well, that’s a good idea,’ ” Edwards said. “And then nobody stayed out around us, and I thought, ‘Oh boy, that might not be the greatest thing.’ It turned out to be perfect.”

He had no trouble pulling out to an easy lead and had victory in sight when the yellow caution lights came out right before the scheduled white flag lap. No one was sure what the caution was for and Fennig even wondered if water damage might have inadvertently caused the lights to turn on.

Then the sky suddenly opened and NASCAR had no choice but to declare the race over.

NASCAR said after the race that someone in the flag-stand accidentally leaned on a switch to trigger the lights. NASCAR was forced to issue a full caution “because operation of the lights was comprised.”

“No harm, no foul, let’s act like it just didn’t happen,” Edwards told NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton.

Edwards led Roush Fenway Racing teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. across the finish line.

Aric Almirola from Richard Petty Motorsports was third as Ford drivers swept the top three spots — one day after a Ford team won the Twelve Hours of Sebring sports car race for the first time since 1969.

It was Edwards’ 22nd career victory, third at Bristol, but first of the season — and the one that should clinch him a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship under NASCAR’s new qualifying format.

“We’re in the Chase and we’re going to go

are strong. We have so many years on the tour, and we know how to handle the emotion and everything.”

As the 20th seed, Pennetta became the lowest to win the title. She came in ranked 21st and is projected to rise to No. 12 in the world Monday in the WTA Tour rankings.

She beat top-seeded Li Na in the semifinals on her way to winning the title worth $1 million.

Radwanska, seeded second, was bothered with a left knee injury during the final. She twice called for the trainer in the second set and had her knee heavily taped. She was in tears apologizing to the sympathetic crowd afterward, saying she was unable to run.

Pennetta threatened from the first game of the match, when she held two break points and had one more in the third game. She finally converted in the fifth game on Radwanska’s errant backhand, then broke again in the seventh game on the Pole’s forehand error.

13 wins apiece. The Serb won his other Indian Wells titles in 2008 and 2011.

A year ago, Pennetta was close to retiring from tennis.

Her ranking plunged to 166th in the world in June, and she had struggled to rebuild her career after having right wrist surgery the previous August.

Now she’s glad she stuck around.

“After so many years, so much work and everything, this is the moment I always waited for,” she said. “And it’s coming when you don’t expect. It was something I was waiting since long time, and finally I have a good trophy in my hands.”

Actually, the crystal trophy was so heavy, she didn’t hoist it for photographers.

The 32-year-old Italian became the third-oldest winner of the desert tournament after Martina Navratilova, who won at age 33 and again at 34 in 1990-91.

It was Pennetta’s first title since winning at Marbella in 2010.

Stenhouse was disappointed he didn’t get a shot to race his teammate for the win.

“I was thinking that I would use the bumper if the opportunity was there,” he said. “If you get the win, you’re in the Chase and you can let the rest take care of itself later. That’s what I was really thinking if we went back green. I was thinking about doing whatever I could to win.”

And Almirola also was having trouble accepting the final outcome.

“It’s frustrating because I had one shot to race Carl for the lead, and these races are so hard to win,” he said. “It was a great day for us, I’m not disappointed at all with third, but when you see it and you can taste it and it’s that close, you wonder what could have went different.”

Tony Stewart salvaged a horrific start to the weekend — he qualified 37th — by finishing a season-best fourth.

“I’m pretty excited about that,” Stewart said.

“Everybody just worked hard all weekend. We had a long way to go from Friday, when we weren’t very good and every day we just got better and better. So, I’m really proud of this team.”

D-Backs, Dodgers off to Australia to open season

Teams will play each other, Australian national squad at historic cricket grounds in Sydney

By Bob Baum

The Associated Press

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — “G’donya” to the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers.

They’re off to Australia to open the major league baseball season.

Both teams played a spring training game Sunday, then were to board their chartered planes for a flight of 15 hours or so to Sydney.

Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick, who never has been to Australia, called it “a great adventure.”

The teams opened spring training early to get ready for the trip. When they return, they’ll have a handful of spring games before getting back to games that count.

“There are some challenges, but I think guys like to play in different places,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. “The important thing is that this is for the good of the game.”

The teams will have a few days to acclimate, then each team will play an exhibition game against an Australian national squad before opening their seasons with games Saturday and Sunday.

The games will be played at Sydney’s historic cricket grounds, reconfigured to accommodate baseball.

“I look forward to it as a cool opportunity, a cool experience,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. “The people from Australia, the cricket grounds, there’s a lot of history there and we’re looking to make history in a different fashion. The games that have been played globally have been very successful and we’re trying to get it out there that major league baseball is a quality environment. We promote the right things, we stand for the right things, and it’s good to get it out to the rest of the world.”

The Diamondbacks got some significant bad news in the hours leading

up to their departure when left-hander Patrick Corbin, who was scheduled to start next Saturday’s season opener, was diagnosed with a partially torn ligament in his pitching arm. Corbin, an All-Star as a rookie last year, is getting a second opinion from noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews but could require season-ending surgery.

Gibson chose lefty Wade Miley to take Corbin’s place. Miley hadn’t been scheduled to make the trip.

“I was zero percent packed,” he said.

“But you know what? It’s one of those things where it’s really not a decision.

You just do it. It’s for the best, and we’ll see what happens.”

Reigning NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kerhsaw will start for the Dodgers in the opener.

“Anytime you get to start opening day, no matter what continent, it’s an honor,” Kershaw said.

He was unsure how the travel would affect his performance.

“I think everybody reacts to it differently,” Kershaw said. “I’ve flown to Africa. But I’ve never traveled that far to compete.”

Diamondbacks All-Star slugger Paul Goldschmidt, who made the trip in the offseason to promote the games, thinks the travel is “no big deal.”

“You’ve got to kill 15 hours anyway,” he said. “You might as well do it in the air.”

Dodgers’ right-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu has traveled a lot in international competition.

Asked how the travel would affect the players, Ryu said through an interpreter, “it depends on the individual, but it usually takes about a week to get used to the change.”

The opener will feature teams not particularly enamored with each other.

The Diamondbacks and Dodgers engaged in a monumental brawl last June, resulting in eight suspensions.

The incident has been credited with ignited the Dodgers’ stunning run that propelled them to the NL West title.

Then when the Dodgers clinched the NL West crowd in Arizona, they drew the ire of many Diamondbacks by celebrating in the Chase Field swimming pool.

Cancer: Schmidt hit 548 career home runs Continued from Page B-1 the Phillies’ television crew to work 13 home Sunday games this season, and to return to camp next year to work with hitters.

“I’m a very lucky man,” he said.

Schmidt felt most fortunate that he got a “crusty little thing” on his hand checked out in August. A dermatologist decided to give him a full examination and found a mole on his back.

A biopsy revealed the melanoma was more serious than stage 1, and Schmidt spent the following months shuttling between Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and his home in Jupiter, Fla. “I’ve done just about everything I can to destroy the cancer cells in my body,” he said.

Along the way, his voice became raspy, he lost his taste buds and he had trouble concentrating. He said he also had surgery to remove 35 lymph nodes, wound up with an 8-inch scar and endured epi-

sodes of chills and restless leg syndrome.

“He’d eat two bites of his meal, then get up and walk around the table,” said his wife, Donna. “He couldn’t sit still.”

Said Schmidt: “It was kind of a rough road.”

“Was it scary? If you sit and ponder the possibilities,” he said.

Schmidt said he is taking depression pills to help aid his recovery, and is feeling fine.

“Hopefully, stay clean,” he said. “Hopefully, no issues.”

The former third baseman said his grandfather had a bout of melanoma that cost him an ear. Schmidt spent much of his life in the sun — not using sunscreen, trying to get tan, as he

pointed out.

Now, he takes a different approach.

“I don’t like the sun,” he said.

“It’s evil.”

“You get scared of the sun,” he said.

The Phillies had said Jan. 22 that Schmidt was dealing with an unspecified health issue and wouldn’t be at spring training so he could “remain near his doctors.” He had been in camp the previous 12 years, in uniform working with the team.

Schmidt hit 548 home runs and led the Phillies to their first World Series crown in 1980, when he was the MVP of the six-game win over Kansas City.

The 12-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glover spent his whole career with Philadelphia, starting in 1972 and retiring in May 1989.

Even after his career, he had avoided any major health problems.

“The older you get … you still carry some sort of invincibility,” he said, later adding, “the moral of the story is everybody get checked.”

Arizona general manager Kevin Towers is glad for the early matchup with the Dodgers.

“That’s the team we’re going to have to beat,” he said. “I don’t take anybody in our division lightly, but I’m sure most people are picking them to win, and we’ve got a chance to hopefully be two games up on them when we come back home.”

It will be a homecoming for Arizona reliever Ryan Rowland-Smith, born and raised in Australia.

He will play for the Australian team against the Dodgers, then switch to the Diamondbacks for their game against Australia.

Baseball ranks far below rugby, cricket and Australian rules football in Australia, so this will be an unprecedented chance to showcase the sport there.

“To go back to Australia and play in my own back yard is a special feeling,” Rowland-Smith said. “I think it will be an overwhelming experience for me, especially in front of a sellout crowd in Sydney, which is something I never would have imagined.”

Pistorius trial enters popular culture

By Christopher Torchia The Associated Press

PRETORIA, South Africa — Children chatter about the Oscar Pistorius murder trial at South African schools, startling parents with details about how the athlete fatally shot his girlfriend. Big audiences in South Africa are watching a 24-hour television channel dedicated to coverage of the sensational trial. Turns of phrase from the courtroom — the defense lawyer’s “I put it to you” challenge to prosecution witnesses — are creeping into popular culture.

The rise and fall of the double-amputee runner, who competed in the London Olympics in 2012 and then killed model Reeva Steenkamp less than a year after that inspirational triumph, is a consuming saga for South Africans that has drawn sheepish comparisons to reality television shows. The more people hear, the hungrier they are for more.

Was Oscar on his stumps or wearing prosthetic limbs when he battered the toilet door with a cricket bat? Does he scream like a woman, as the defense suggests, or did neighbors indeed hear a woman’s screams on the night of the killing? Will apparent missteps by police investigators muddy the prosecution’s case? Did Pistorius vomit during graphic testimony about Steenkamp’s wounds because of anguish, or was he trying to curry sympathy with the impassive judge?

Some people turn up their noses at the spectacle, then dive into television or social media to soak up the latest, often extraordinary revelations.

The parade of witnesses, some shown in the televised proceedings and some concealed

knees when I’m washing the dishes,” Vermeulen said to emphasize his point.

“Maybe if you’re scared of your wife, you can do that,” Roux replied, briefly lightening the somber mood.

Pistorius said he hit the door with the bat after realizing he had shot Steenkamp by mistake, fearing she was an intruder.

Prosecutors say he killed her after an argument.

South Africans are increasingly captivated by Roux’s relentless cross-examination.

A producer at the Highveld Oscar Pistorius, center, walks out of the high court Friday in Stereo radio station recorded a Pretoria, South Africa. Pistorius is charged with murder for parody rap song.

Six teams slighted on Selection Sunday

Colorado on their résumé, but also lost to last-place USC and UC Santa Barbara. Cal could have gotten a big boost by making some noise in the Pac-12 Tournament, but got bounced by fellow bubble team Colorado in the quarterfinals.

Florida State: The Seminoles gave their bubble chances a boost with a last-second win over Maryland in the second round of the ACC Tournament.

It apparently popped with a loss to Virginia in the quarterfinals.

Florida State finished the season 19-13 overall and went 9-9 in the ACC, but it wasn’t good enough for the selection committee. The Seminoles missed a huge opportunity by losing to

Still on the bubble, Arkansas closed out the regular season with a 25-point loss to Alabama and opened the SEC Tournament by bowing out to South Carolina. That offset all the good the Razorbacks did in the weeks before, when they won six straight.

Georgetown: The Hoyas entered the Big East Tournament on the bubble. They were blown off it with an opening loss to DePaul, a last-place team that hadn’t beaten Georgetown since 1994. Georgetown had some good wins on its weshould-go docket, including Michigan State and Kansas State.

Wisconsin-Green Bay: NCAA selection committee chair Ron Wellman called the decision to leave WisconsinGreen Bay out of the bracket a very difficult one. That’s not going to make the Phoenix feel any better after winning the Horizon League title and failing to get a bid.

Spokane • Thurs.

Griping has been a part of the NCAA Tournament selection process pretty much since its inception. Didn’t matter if it was eight teams or the current field of 68, there have always been teams that felt slighted and left out after being left off the bracket.

This season was no exception.

They had a resurgence under 73-year-old Larry Brown in his return to college coaching, going 23-9 overall and 12-6 in the American Athletic Conference.

The Mustangs had a soft non-conference schedule and their overall strength of schedule was 129th — 38 higher than the worst team that made the field.

California: The Bears got the Pac-12 season off to a great start, winning their first five games.

Fetching ‘Peabody & Sherman’ tops week’s box office

By Jessica Herndon The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Street racers couldn’t catch a time-traveling dog and his son at the multiplex this weekend.

Though Disney’s Need for Speed was expected to take the No. 1 position at the box office, DreamWorks’ Mr. Peabody & Sherman took the lead, with the action film in third place.

The animated movie, about the adventures of a genius dog and the human son he adopted, earned $21.2 million, according to studio estimates released Sunday. Debuting last weekend at No. 2, the 3-D kiddie-jaunt features voices from Modern Family stars Ty Burrell and Ariel Winter.

“Our midweek numbers were very strong, indicating good and positive word of mouth,” said Chris Aronson, president of domestic distribution at Twentieth Century Fox. “If anything, this is exceeding [expectations]. It’s a combination of likable characters and it’s a nostalgia play for those who are familiar with the show.”

Mr. Peabody and Sherman first appeared in the 1950s and early 1960s on Peabody’s Improbable History, a segment within the animated television series Rocky and His Friends and later The Bullwinkle Show.

“The family marketplace is giving every other genre a run for its money,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “But the St. Patrick’s Day effect could be at play here, where families had to exercise their options at the theater rather than the pub. That may have paid off for Mr. Peabody.”

Meanwhile, analysts predicted that Need for Speed, based on the popular EA Entertainment video game and starring Breaking Bad alum Aaron Paul, would come in at No. 1 this weekend. But with $17.8 million, it arrived at No. 3 in the U.S. But the movie raced to the top of the international box office, bringing in $45.6 million.

Warner Bros.’ warrior drama 300: Rise of an Empire, the 3-D sequel to 2007’s 300, dropped to second place, with $19.1 million, after debuting at No. 1 last weekend. Though its opening haul of $45.1 million pales in comparison to the original, which debuted with $70.9 million, Rise of an Empire has earned more than $78 million since its debut.

Tyler Perry’s The Single Moms Club, starring Nia Long and Amy Smart, opened with $8.3 million at No. 5.

“This is one of Tyler Perry’s lowest debuts ever, but he [has cranke out hits every year for almost a decade,” Dergarabedian said. “He’s allowed a couple of missteps every once in a while.”

Leading the year’s early trend of films about religion, Fox’s Son of God grossed $5.4 million in its third weekend. After opening at No. 2 with $26.5 million, it dropped to No. 5 in its second week, earning $10 million. Its performance may indicate that religious stories aren’t holding up at box office. Plus Son of God, starring Diogo Morgado, lacks star power.

However, other upcoming films with a biblical thread feature leading men who are more likely to get viewers to theaters.

Noah, out March 28, stars Russell Crowe. And later this year, in the Ridley Scott-directed Exodus, we’ll see Christian Bale as Moses.

Playing in only 66 theaters, Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel landed at No. 8 with $3.6 million. When it opened last weekend, the stylish comedy showed on just four screens in New York and Los Angeles. Still, it impressed with $200,000.

Rounding out the top 10 is the Kristen Bell-starring cult-TVshow-turned-feature Veronica Mars. Its $2 million debut was impressive considering the film’s funding came from a crowdsourcing campaign, the first high-profile project to do so.

Also opening this weekend was Jason Bateman’s directorial debut Bad Words. Showing in only New York and Los Angeles, the comedy earned $120,000, one of the biggest per theater averages of the weekend, with $20,000 per movie house.

Sci-fi action movie Divergent, based on the Veronica Roth’s young adult novel and starring Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet, stands to knock every other film a place or two down when it debuts next weekend.

Since the divorce, I have fallen in love with “Derek.” Derek and his ex-wife both engaged in affairs when the going got rough. Derek has been totally honest with me about this. He’s in counseling and is committed to being a better man.

The problem is, I can’t kick the feeling that I can’t trust him.

Early in our relationship, Derek attended a reunion, drank too much and ended up having sex with an ex-classmate who came to his room. He was forthright about it and very regretful. He swore it would never happen again. We were not having a “rough time” in our relationship, so I don’t know why this happened. Do you think he’s a sex addict? Does he just like the challenge of a conquest? Does he need the excitement of a new partner? Is it to boost his ego?

It’s been four years, and he’s been faithful since. He has talked about marriage, but I’m not sure. I do love him. But the pain of being rejected by my husband was bad enough. It took a lot of counseling to regain my self-esteem. An affair in a second marriage would devastate me.

How can I trust Derek so that I am secure when he’s not with me? Is this relationship too great a risk? We’ve had counseling together and separately and discussed this issue, but I’m still confused. — Want to Make the Right Decision Dear Want: One episode of cheating in four years does not constitute a sex addiction. We think it’s more a behavior pattern, and counseling plus motivation can change that. However, no marriage comes with a guarantee of fidelity. Derek is trying hard to prove himself trustworthy, but that doesn’t ensure he won’t cheat if your relationship takes a dive.

All relationships require a leap of faith, although you do not need to commit to marriage if you aren’t ready.

Dear Annie: My sister put on an antique show at a nearby hall and asked whether I would provide refreshments as a favor.

An elderly man bought a chocolate-chip cookie and broke a tooth.

I apologized and explained that I freeze the cookies after they are baked to keep them fresh.

But they had been sitting out for 45 minutes, so they should have been plenty soft. He told me that he has problems with his teeth and knew something like this would happen someday, but he’s on disability and wants me to pay for his dental bill.

Am I liable? I am totally clueless. — Cookies No More Dear Cookies: We have no way of knowing exactly what happened or why, whether you are at fault or whether the man is trying to con you.

If you are being threatened with a lawsuit, please talk to a lawyer immediately. If he is simply asking for money and you feel responsible, whether to offer him anything is up to you, but get a release from him in writing saying that this settles the matter and he will make no additional claim against you.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Pennsylvania,” the woman whose husband supposedly has been calling escorts. We have not heard his side. She could be a liar.

If he is calling escorts, that means she is not doing her job as a wife. If she checks his cellphone bills, she cannot be trusted. If my wife ever pulled that stunt, we would no longer be married. Not that she could find anything. I keep my private matters well hidden. — S. Dear S.: You’re quite a guy. Your wife has our condolences.
