“We just have to assume that what they put on the expense report is correct,” she said. City Councilor Peter Ives, who is working on legislation to close gaps in the public campaign finance code, said he would consider proposing a provision requiring candidates to turn in receipts. Under the existing law, only the city’s Ethics and Campaign Review Board can request receipts. “I hate burdening the clerk’s office because I know they have lots of things they’re doing, but I think it would be easy to do,” Ives said.

The tangled and endlessly debated case of a policeman who was charged almost four years ago with aggravated drunken driving will be heard this week by New Mexico’s highest court. Defendant Abraham Baca was a state police officer when he was arrested while off duty in May 2010 by a Rio Arriba County sheriff’s sergeant. Now, Baca himself is a Rio Arriba sheriff’s sergeant, a command officer trying to fend off the drunken-driving case against him. Both his lawyer and the American Civil Liberties Union hope to convince the New Mexico Supreme Court that Baca should not have to stand trial on the longstanding DWI charge. Baca, 37, contends that he already has been tried once and was acquitted. His legal team says another trial would subject him to double jeopardy. Prosecutors from the state Attorney General’s Office counter that a valid trial never occurred in Baca’s case. They say he has escaped trial and punishment because of two incorrect lower court rulings. “Double jeopardy is not to be used as a sword to deprive the state of a full and fair opportunity to convict a guilty defendant,” the prosecutors wrote in a brief to the New Mexico Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday in Baca’s case. It will be the fourth court in four years to decide whether the state bungled its prosecution of Baca. Baca first was scheduled to stand trial in August 2010 in Española. Magistrate Judge Alex Naranjo dismissed the case when a prosecutor failed to attend a court conference. The state quickly refiled the aggravated drunken-driving charge against Baca, and a non-jury trial began in October 2010. The first state witness, Rio Arriba sheriff’s Sgt. Martin Trujillo, was testifying when Baca’s lawyer stood and said all the evidence he offered should be excluded. Baca’s lawyer argued that prosecutors did not comply with the technical requirements of state law when they refiled the drunken-driving charge. Magistrate Naranjo agreed and said he was dismissing the case against Baca, this time for good. Prosecutors appealed Naranjo’s ruling to state District Court and won

Gov. Susana Martinez has clamped down on the Legislature’s watchdog committees in what some lawmakers consider an attempt to limit their oversight of the Republican governor’s agencies. At the direction of the governor, administration agencies are telling the Legislative Finance Committee and the Legislative Education Study Committee that their requests for information must be sent first to the governor’s chief of staff, Keith Gardner, for his approval before the agency will respond. The committees and their staff typically are in direct contact with agencies to seek data and documents. “She’s drawing the battle lines, I guess,” said Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, chairman of the finance committee that oversees budget issues and regularly asks agencies about their spending. Martinez personally called the committee’s staff director, David Abbey, earlier this month to tell him of the new policy. Varela said the governor’s directive to agencies is an unprecedented move to control the flow of information that the LFC is entitled to under state law. “To me it was somewhat of a surprise to have a governor call the LFC and say, ‘No more unless I approve it,’ ” Varela said. State law says government agencies shall furnish the LFC with “such documents, materials or information as may be requested by the member of the committee or its director or staff which are not made confidential by law.” The governor’s office won’t say whether a specific request from a committee or some other dispute with the Legislature prompted Martinez to implement the policy. Lawmakers, particularly Democrats, have been sharply critical of the administration’s

The city’s relatively new public financing system doesn’t require candidates to turn in receipts, which some say points to yet another flaw in the system, the latest in a series of issues that emerged during the recent campaign season. “You don’t know if they took their campaign team for tacos, or did they take friends out for cocktails?” said Viki Harrison, executive director of Common Cause New Mexico, a watchdog group that helped write Santa Fe’s public campaign finance code.

Imitation helps teach kids signs of strokes Program aims to get help for victims more quickly By Jim Fitzgerald

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Andrea Esteban tried to smile with half her face, crossing her eyes in the process, and her third-grade classmates giggled. Matthew Velez struggled to speak, “Luh, luh, uh, gronk,” and the kids erupted in laughter. But the funny faces, the gibberish and some arm flapping were all part of a serious lesson to help kids learn the telltale signs of a stroke by imitating them. The idea is to enlist children, particularly those who may live with older relatives, as an army of eyes to help recognize the warning signs, get help for victims more quickly and hopefully save lives. “If my mom has a stroke, I’ll know what to do,” said 10-year-old Madison Montes. “Run to the phone and call 911.” The experimental health education program at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx is aimed at the most crucial factor when it comes to a stroke: time. Each year, about 795,000 Americans have a stroke, and about 130,000 die. Some are caused by bleeding in the brain, but the vast majority is caused by a clot that blocks blood flow, starving brain cells. The drug TPA can dissolve those clots and reduce disability, but only if it’s given within three to four hours of the first symptoms, and the sooner the better. Yet only about 5 percent of patients receive it, in part because many stroke sufferers don’t get to the hospital in time

for testing to tell if they’re a candidate. The early warning signs include a droopy side of the face, slurred or strange speech, and the inability to keep arms raised. “There’s a pretty good chance some children might witness a parent or a grandparent having a stroke,” said Jim Baranski, CEO of the National Stroke Association. “So if they’re armed with the signs and symptoms, they could likely save a life.” Montefiore’s program, one of a handful tried across the country, has been used since 2012 with private schools in its neighborhood, where children are often in a grandparent’s care because parents are absent or both working. The goal is to study the results and, if successful, replicate the program across the country. “The kids get a kick out of it because they get to do a little acting,” said Dr. Robert Glover, a neurologist who helped develop the program. “But when they’re done, they know about strokes, and they can teach their families.” Dr. Kathryn Kirchoff-Torres, who led the class from St. Ann’s School in the Bronx, said the kids are already “little message machines” bringing home from school what they learn about the benefits of exercise, not smoking and eating well. At the start of the stroke class last month, in a first-floor room at the hospital, the doctor asked, “Who knows what a stroke is?” “A heart attack?” one child offered. “Well, we like to call it a brain attack,” KirchoffTorres said. “It’s a problem with the brain.” She then taught the children to use the word FAST as a memory device. With cartoons and music bringing the point home, they learned “F” is for face, “A” is for arms, “S” is for speech and “T” is for time.

ISTANBUL — Turkish fighter jets shot down a Syrian warplane Sunday after it violated the country’s airspace, Turkey’s prime minister said, in a move likely to ramp up tensions between two countries already deeply at odds over Syria’s civil war. A spokesman for Syria’s military confirmed the incident, denouncing it as a “blatant aggression.” The unnamed spokesman quoted on Syrian state TV said the plane was hit while pursuing gunmen near the border, and that the pilot safely ejected from the aircraft. Syria’s official SANA news agency quoted the pilot as saying that he was shot down while 5 miles inside Syrian airspace. Turkey, a NATO member that once enjoyed good ties with Syria, has emerged as one of the strongest critics of Syrian President Bashar Assad and is now one of the main backers of the 3-year-old rebellion against him. Hostilities have flared along the border on several occasions, although the exchanges of fire have generally been brief and very limited in scope.

Man who lost his legs in Boston bombing is engaged CARLISLE, Mass. — A man who lost his legs in the Boston Marathon bombings, then helped authorities identify the suspects, is engaged and an expectant father. Jeff Bauman, 28, and his fiancee, Erin Hurley, 27, told The Associated Press in a recent interview that the baby is due July 14. They don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl, and they want it to be a surprise. The two have been preparing for the baby’s arrival by painting a nursery in their home in Carlisle. Hurley said Sunday that she and the baby are healthy and her pregnancy is going well. An AP photo of a badly injured Bauman being rushed away in a wheelchair by three rescuers became one of the most memorable images of the April 15, 2013, bombings, which killed three people.

‘My Cousin Vinny’ actor James Rebhorn dies at 65 NEW YORK — James Rebhorn, the prolific character actor whose credits included Homeland, Scent of a Woman and My Cousin Vinny, has died. He was 65. Rebhorn’s agent, Dianne Busch, said Sunday that the actor died Friday at his home in South Orange, N.J, after a long battle with skin cancer. Busch said Rebhorn was diagnosed with melanoma in 1992 but managed to work until the last month. In five decades of television and film work, Rebhorn amassed more than 100 credits, ranging from a shipping magnate in The Talented Mr. Ripley to the prosecutor in the series finale of Seinfeld, in which he famously sent the group to jail. The lanky but piercing Rebhorn, raised a Lutheran in Indiana, often played astringent authorities, like the headmaster in Scent of a Woman or the Secretary of Defense in Independence Day.

Ukraine: Commander held after base in Crimea stormed

KIEV, Ukraine — A Ukrainian air force commander is being held after his base in Crimea was stormed by pro-Russian forces, and the acting president called for his release Sunday. Col. Yuliy Mamchur is the commander of the Belbek Air Force base near Sevastopol, which was taken over Saturday by forces who sent armored personnel carriers smashing through the base’s walls and fired shots and stun grenades. One Ukrainian serviceman was reported wounded in the clash. It was unclear if the forces, who didn’t bear insignia, were Russian military or local pro-Russia militia. Ukraine President Oleksandr Turchynov, in a statement, said Mamchur was “abducted” by the forces. He didn’t specify where Mamchur is believed to be held. However, prominent politician Vitali Klitschko said Sunday that Mamchur is being held by the Russian military in a jail in Sevastopol, the Crimean city that is the base of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.

Birth control fight goes back to high court

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration and its opponents are renewing the Supreme Court battle over President Barack Obama’s health care law in a case that pits the religious rights of employers against the rights of women to the birth control of their choice. Two years after the entire law survived the justices’ review by a single vote, the court is hearing arguments Tuesday in a religion-based challenge from family-owned companies that object to covering certain contraceptives in their health plans as part of the law’s preventive care requirement. Health plans must offer a range of services at no extra charge, including all forms of birth control for women that have been approved by federal regulators. Some of the nearly 50 businesses that have sued over covering contraceptives object to paying for all forms of birth control. But the companies involved in the high court case are willing to cover most methods of contraception, as long as they can exclude drugs or devices that the government says may work after an egg has been fertilized. The largest company among them, Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., and the Green family that owns it, say their “religious beliefs prohibit them from providing health coverage for contraceptive drugs and devices that end human life after conception.” Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby has more than 15,000 fulltime employees in more than 600 crafts stores in 41 states. The Greens are evangelical Christians who also own Mardel, a Christian bookstore chain. The other company is Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. of East Earl, Pa., owned by a Mennonite family and employing 950 people in making cabinets. The administration says a victory for the companies would prevent women who work for them from making decisions about birth control based on what’s best for their health, not whether they can afford it. The government’s supporters point to research showing that nearly one-third of women would change their contraceptive if cost were not an issue.

MALAYSIA FLIGHT 370

French spot possible debris Pilots’ mental health a

concern amid jet mystery

By Thomas Fuller and Michael Forsythe The New York Times

PEARCE AIR FORCE BASE, Australia — The search for a missing Malaysia Airlines jet entered its third week Sunday, as data from a French satellite buttressed the theory that the plane might have fallen into the southern Indian Ocean, far off the west coast of Australia, where a multinational search for clues has expanded. The day ended without any wreckage being found. Australia and China have already released satellite images of blurry objects floating in the sea, and officials said those might be wreckage from the Boeing 777-200, which disappeared March 8 after leaving Kuala Lumpur for a routine night flight to Beijing. Now, a French satellite has also spied objects in the southern Indian Ocean that might be related to the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the Malaysian Ministry of Transport said. France’s ministry of foreign affairs said the possible debris was spotted using satellitebased radar but gave no other details about the image or its precise location. Yet the announcement appears likely to reinforce a belief that the plane probably fell into the ocean far off of Western Australia after veering sharply from its planned route. Investigators say they believe military radar and satellite signals indicate the plane cut across Peninsular Malaysia, headed west over the Indian Ocean and then possibly headed south toward where Australia has organized a search involving New Zealand and the United States. Britain, China and Japan have also sent military planes and ships to aid the hunt. Flight Lt. Russel Adams, the pilot of an Australian P-3 military aircraft that spent more than 10 hours Sunday searching for debris, said weather conditions had deteriorated in parts of the search zone. “There was cloud down to the surface,” he told reporters

minutes after landing at the base here, 50 kilometers north of the Western Australia city of Perth. But the search area is vast, and a statement by the 7th Fleet of the U.S. Navy said that the overall weather conditions in the southern Indian Ocean were much clearer Sunday than the previous few days, allowing for full use of electronic and visual search tools. The search is focused on an area about 1,550 miles southwest of Perth, and on Sunday, eight aircraft, including a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon, were to patrol that area. Two Chinese transport aircraft that arrived here Saturday will join the search operations Monday, Australian authorities said. Two Japanese patrol planes were also joining the effort. On Saturday, the Chinese government said one of its satellites had spotted an “unusual object” Tuesday in an area where Australia had already organized a search. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the country’s planes and ships would try to reach the area and look for the whitish object, about 74 feet by 43 feet. It was observed about 65 nautical miles southwest of the spot where, two days earlier, another satellite had captured similar images of floating objects,

which the Australian government said might be wreckage from Flight 370. Experts on satellite imagery and open-ocean recovery said the two sightings might be of the same object or objects, and that might give the search teams more information with which to calculate ocean currents and drift speeds, turn back the clock and estimate where Flight 370 might have struck the ocean sometime after 8 a.m. Malaysia time March 8. Prime Minister Tony Abbott of Australia, who was on a trip to Papua New Guinea, said Sunday that the Chinese images were consistent with the images he announced in Parliament on Thursday. “Obviously, we have now had a number of very credible leads and there is increasing hope, no more than hope, that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen,” Abbott was quoted by the Australian Broadcasting Corp. as saying. After comparing the pictures released by both governments, Sean O’Connor, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer who is a consultant to IHS Jane’s for imagery analysis, said, “It looks consistent with what the Australian picture shows.” Currents may have pushed the object to a new location during the intervening period, he said.

ARLINGTON, Wash. — Looking for signs of life in the quicksand-like mud below, searchers in helicopters scanned a huge debris field Sunday trying to find 18 people still unaccounted for following a landslide that killed at least four people and destroyed a small riverside neighborhood in rural Washington state. As crews took to the sky above the 1-square-mile mudslide that left several people — including an infant — critically injured and displaced 20 to 30 more, concerns remained about a blocked river in the area that threatened to flood homes. Rescuers’ hopes of finding more survivors were buoyed late Saturday when they heard people yelling for help from within the debris field, but they were unable to reach anyone. The mud that destroyed as many as 30 homes was so thick and deep that searchers had to turn back. Rescuers heard nothing when they got closer, and the decision was made to retreat because it was too dangerous, Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots said Sunday. “We have this huge squaremile mudflow that’s basically like quicksand, it’s extremely fluid,” he said. The slide wiped through what neighbors described as a former fishing village of small

homes — some nearly 100 years old. The neighborhood “is not there anymore,” Hots said. Because of the unstable situation, authorities said it was too dangerous to send rescuers on foot into the area Sunday. Some of the missing may have been able to get out on their own, authorities said. The number unaccounted for could change because some people may have been in cars and on roads when the slide hit just before 11 a.m. Saturday, Hots said. Officials described the mud-

slide as “a big wall of mud and debris.” It blocked about a mile of State Route 530 near the town of Oso, about 55 miles north of Seattle. It was reported about 60 feet deep in some areas. Authorities believe the slide was caused by ground made unstable by recent heavy rainfall. Washington Gov. Jay Inslee described the scene as “a square mile of total devastation” after flying over the disaster area Sunday. He assured families that everything was being done to find their missing loved ones.

from the airlines to private aviation and student pilots — apply for a medical certificate each year. From 2008 through 2012, only 1.2 percent were rejected, according to the FAA, which did not say how many failed due to mental-health issues. In 2010, the FAA lifted a 70-year-old ban on pilots taking antidepressants. Randy Babbitt, then the FAA administrator, said one reason for dropping the ban was a belief that pilots were secretly taking the drugs but just not telling anyone. Federal health officials estimate that nearly 10 percent of the adult population suffers from mood disorders, and aviation officials assume that the rate among pilots is about the same. The FAA declined to make an official available for an interview. Gregory Ostrom, a doctor in Elgin, Ill., estimates that he has seen 200 pilots a month for the past 13 years and calls them “great people.” The most common mental issue he sees is obsessive-compulsive behavior — pilots are perfectionists. But he admits that his examinations aren’t psychiatric in nature. “Nobody sits down and says, ‘Tell me about your home life,’ ” he said. Ostrom said he relies on his experience observing patients to know whether to question a pilot’s emotional state. About once every three years he is concerned enough to refer somebody to the FAA for a decision on mental fitness, and those are almost always student pilots, he said.

DWI: Baca employed by agency that arrested him Continued from Page A-1 that battle. District Judge Stephen Pfeffer said double jeopardy does not apply when a case is dismissed in mid-trial because of a procedural error. Then came another appeal, this one filed by Baca. He asked a three-member panel of the state Court of Appeals to throw out the case against him. It did, saying that he had already been tried once and could not be subjected to another prosecution on the same charge. “We conclude that the magistrate court judge’s ruling constituted an acquittal,” the appeals court said in its opinion. Once again the state appealed, and now Baca’s case is before the Supreme Court. Prosecutors say Baca’s strategy has been to avoid any discussion of the charges against him while looking for technicalities. “In short, the defendant seeks to invent an acquittal out of whole cloth,” they wrote in their brief. Meantime, the ACLU of New Mexico has rallied to Baca’s defense. The ACLU wrote a brief of its own urging the Supreme Court to bar prosecutors from try-

ing him again. Baca’s career took an odd turn after the magistrate judge threw out the criminal case against him. In January 2011, about 10 weeks after Baca’s trial abruptly ended with the dismissal of charges, he went to work for newly elected Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella. Baca became part of the

department that had arrested him. Jake Arnold, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said Baca began as a temporary civilian employee but quickly rose in the ranks. Baca became a deputy and then was promoted to sergeant on Oct. 16, 2011, less than 11 months after being hired by Rodella. Arnold said Baca ascended on

merit. “It’s not a political process,” Arnold said, adding that Baca’s promotion to sergeant was tied in part to his score on a competitive exam. The sergeant’s job pays Baca about $19.50 an hour, according to the county government. Arnold said Baca is a considerable asset to law enforcement in Rio Arriba County. “There have been no issues at all with him. He’s a real credit to the department,” Arnold said. Because Baca was not convicted of the drunken-driving charge, the court proceedings were not a factor in whether he was promoted. If Baca loses in the Supreme Court, the case against him would return to state District Court and he could be tried again. As for Martin Trujillo, the sergeant who arrested Baca on suspicion of aggravated drunken driving, he no longer works for the sheriff’s office. Arnold said Trujillo resigned after Rodella’s election in 2010. Contact Milan Simonich at 9863080 or msimonich@sfnewmexican. com. Follow his Ringside Seat blog at santafenewmexican.com.

Panels: Actions puzzle leaders in House, Senate Continued from Page A-1 decision to suspend Medicaid payments to more than a dozen mental health providers and replace them with Arizona companies. “Executive agencies and departments will continue to provide requested information to the Legislature consistent with state law,” a spokesman for the governor, Michael Lonergan, said in a statement in response to questions from The Associated Press. “The governor is responsible for numerous agencies in the executive branch, so it is important to address those requests across all agencies to ensure that state government is functioning collectively, in a cohesive manner and not compartmentalized,” he said. Lonergan declined further comment.

In an email last week to the staff directors of the two legislative committees, Public Education Secretary Hanna Skandera said the agency was complying with “a directive from Governor Martinez” on information requests and “PED will not respond until the governor’s chief of staff has approved the request.” House and Senate GOP leaders said they’re puzzled by the administration’s actions. “In this day of movement toward greater and greater transparency with regard to what we do with the people’s money and how we’re accountable for the use of those tax dollars, it makes more sense to be more open rather than more restrictive,” said House Minority Leader Donald Bratton of Hobbs. “By making all the requests go through one individual, then you create a bottleneck and I’m

not sure you get the transparency that you’re after for the public.” Senate GOP Leader Stuart Ingle of Portales said the LFC has the power to seek subpoenas to compel an agency or government official to provide information. “I hope we don’t get that far,” said Ingle. “The Legislature has a right to get reports from the executive’s agencies. I don’t really see where there is a problem there.” House Majority Leader Rick Miera, an Albuquerque Democrat and vice chairman of the education study panel, said funneling information requests through the governor’s chief of staff will hamper the Legislature’s oversight of programs. “To think they all have to go through a filter. And that’s the way I am looking at it. It’s not just, ‘Well we have to keep track of them.’ No. No. No. They’re filtering them. That

puts us at a disadvantage,” Miera said. “The governor has made a decision, wrong though it may be, that one branch of government is more superior than the other two equal branches,” he said. Varela speculates that politics is behind the governor’s decision. “I recognize that the governor is circling the wagons because she is running for re-election and she doesn’t want to get too severely criticized,” Varela said. Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat and Finance Committee vice chairman, said he hoped the issue will be resolved without going to court. “I don’t want to get into a tit for tat type of thing,” Smith said. “Hopefully the executive branch will come around to where common sense will prevail.”

Ringside: Saturn plant fell short of expectations Continued from Page A-1 Twenty-seven governors traveled to Detroit in 1985 in hopes of convincing GM to locate the Saturn factory in their states. They included Bill Clinton of Arkansas, Jim Thompson of Illinois and Toney Anaya of New Mexico. Anaya wanted GM to locate the Saturn plant in either Albuquerque or Las Cruces. His push for the cities had the ring of a stump speech. “Each has an eager workforce. Each has a major, growing university,” Anaya said. “Each sits along the Rio Grande research corridor, which we are developing into a productive, high-tech network that will meet new needs of government and private industry for decades.” Today, Anaya says he did all he could to attract Saturn and has no regrets about offering a lavish package. “We were trying to get out of a recession. We pulled out all the stops in terms of all the tax incentives we could provide and land the state could offer,” he said. The competition was wild. Iowa floated an offer for Saturn that was either the boldest or most likely to lead to a lawsuit by taxpayers. It proposed to cover half of Saturn’s payroll for its first year of operation — a plan that would have cost $140 million. Much of the desperation among states was revealed to the public in ways never seen before. A halfdozen governors appeared on the nationally televised Phil Donahue show to argue about where Saturn should locate. Even certain cities tried to recruit Saturn. Youngstown, Ohio, whose steel mills were a shell of their smokebelching heyday, created a “We Want Saturn” group. A Youngstown native, Edward DeBartolo Jr., then owner of the San Francisco 49ers, helped make a case for the city. These strange courtships went on for months. Then, on a July day, word leaked that Saturn would build its plant in Spring Hill, Tenn., a town of about 1,200 some 40 miles south of Nashville. It seemed to be a staggering triumph for a small village in the

GM’s plant in Spring Hill, Tenn., manufactured Saturns from 1990 until March 2007. Idled for a time, the plant was resurrected with different products, and it now employs about 2,000 — substantial but nowhere close to what was promised. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

South. Not so, says Roger Sears, who still lives near Spring Hill. “Saturn was the worst thing that ever happened to Maury County,” Sears said in a recent phone interview. “Nobody from here got hired, but it completely changed our way of life. Taxes went up. Schools are crowded.” Spring Hill changed, and then Saturn disappeared. The brand is defunct, taken off the market by GM in 2009. For Sears, the legacy of Saturn is a painful one. He had worked at a chemical plant that closed. Textile factories near Spring Hill also were shuttered about the same time. Sears hoped to make cars at the Saturn plant, but most of the workers were imported from Michigan. Jobs were as elusive as ever. Today, Spring Hill has a population of more than 31,000, but the bright promise of Saturn as a bedrock of its economy has dissolved into a cautionary tale. Spring Hill’s GM plant manufactured Saturns from 1990 until March 2007. Idled for a time, the plant was resurrected with different products. GM began building Ecotech Engines

and later the Chevrolet Equinox in Spring Hill. In all, the plant now employs about 2,000 — substantial but nowhere close to what was promised. This brings us back to Tesla Motors. The company announced in 2007 that it would open an auto manufacturing plant in Albuquerque. Tesla reneged and instead settled in California. Nonetheless, enthusiasm for Tesla runs high. Jon Barela, New Mexico’s secretary of economic development, is among the many who say Tesla’s plant for batteries would provide a boost like none other on the horizon. “The Tesla project would be a game-changer for New Mexico’s economy. We would covet an opportunity to land this wonderful company,” he said in an interview. Nothing except water is more precious to New Mexico than jobs. Yet certain questions about Tesla cannot be answered, even by those who believe it to be an exceptional corporate citizen. Manuel Montoya, a Rhodes scholar who teaches at the Ander-

son School of Management at The University of New Mexico, says New Mexico would be the right place for forward-thinking Tesla. He says New Mexico, with its green energy options, rich cultural mix and history in world-changing science, such as the Manhattan Project, is a fine match for a maker of electric cars. Does New Mexico have enough quality workers for the plant? “It’s a good question,” Montoya said. And could New Mexico, burned once by Tesla, be tempted to overpay to close a deal this time? “It could be expensive in terms of incentives,” Montoya said. The fact that Tesla has named four states as finalists creates the framework for a bidding war. In those cases, taxpayers usually lose, especially in states where drought is as much about jobs as it is the weather. Ringside Seat is a column about New Mexico’s people, politics and news.

Food: Finance code does not require receipts Continued from Page A-1 “I don’t know if it’s been that great of a question or a concern out there,” Ives added. “If it is, then I think we should certainly address it because hopefully every move we make should be toward greater transparency and assurance that the public dollar is appropriately expended.” Assistant City Attorney Zachery Shandler said receipts wouldn’t be available to the public even if requested under the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act. “Right now, those receipts are not in the possession of the city, so we would be able to provide nothing,” he said. “That might be something for the [Ethics and Campaign Review Board] to look at,” he said, “whether they want to change the code and require more documentation at the filing.” Shandler has prepared a list of issues regarding public financing for the ethics board to consider during its post-election review. Issues on the list are “based on meetings I’ve gone to, and things I read in the paper and comments made by the public about things that possibly should be changed,” he said. “I don’t know if they’re going to think the language needs additional clarification or not.” Harrison said Common Cause would support requiring candidates to file receipts for spending of public cash. “In New York, when they do their reporting, they literally have to upload, like their mailers, for example,” she said. “I’m wondering if that’s something we should look at with the program in Santa Fe, a way for people to upload the receipts that actually go with their expense reports.” The food expenses, which represent only a fraction of the combined $285,000 that candidates received from the city, are allowed under the city’s public financing rules for political campaigns. Expenses “reasonably incurred” to further a candidate’s campaign are covered under the city code. City Councilor Bill Dimas, who finished last in the three-way race for mayor, spent $4,266 on food and drinks, more than any other mayoral or City Council candidate. On the Saturday before the election, Dimas threw a catered party at The Lodge at Santa Fe that cost taxpayers $1,204. He also reported spending $1,081 at Real Burger for lunch on election day and $1,176 on election night for food at Tiny’s Restaurant & Lounge. City Councilor Patti Bushee, who came in second in the mayor’s race, spent about $38 on “refreshments” and water for volunteers, the smallest such expenditure reported by any candidate in the election. “We were an all-volunteer campaign. Volunteers brought their own food. We just had some water and miscellaneous little things available at the headquarters when folks went out door-to-door to make sure they were hydrating,” Bushee said. “We limited our expenses to things that were more campaignrelated as far as we were concerned.” Losing City Council candidates Michael Segura and Marie Campos reported the most individual meals. Segura, who received 30 percent of the vote in a two-way race to represent the north-side District 1, was a regular at fast-food joints while he was on the campaign trail. Of the 37 entries for food and drinks on his campaign reports, there were five at Burger King, four each at Wendy’s and Blake’s Lotaburger, and three each at Sonic and Dunkin’ Donuts. He went to McDonald’s twice and Taco Bell once. Segura reported spending $1,179 on food and beverages, including $441 on “groceries for election party.” However, Segura combined some of his expenses on his campaign reports, making it impossible to determine exactly how much he spent on food and drinks. Segura did not return calls seeking comment. Campos, meanwhile, reported spending nearly $1,000 on food for volunteers and voters. “Any campaign probably in the world has food expenditures,” Campos said. Not being able to buy food for her volunteers would have had a “harmful impact” on her campaign, she said, because her workers were walking neighborhoods and knocking on doors all day long. “When you can’t pay them a salary or something and they’re dedicating all that time, the least you can do is feed them,” she said. “You’re thankful.” Campos included on her expense reports a handful of campaign meetings at restaurants, including two at the Tree House and one at Domino’s. “You didn’t see us going and having $200 bills every day. It was all fast take-out food. Let’s go get lunch really fast and continue on with our work,” she said. “It was eatand-run stuff.” After Dimas, Joe Arellano, who ran unsuccessfully in the southeast-side City Council District 2, spent the most money on food and beverages. Arellano reported more than $4,000 in food-related expenses, including $3,500 for catering from Jambo Café for a campaign event in February. He also reported spending nearly $190 on appetizers for campaign supporters at Del Charro Saloon, $147 at the Steaksmith at El Gancho for a campaign team meeting and nearly $130 on lunch for campaign volunteers at Second Street Brewery. Arellano did not return a call seeking comment. Contact Daniel J. Chacón at 986-3089 or dchacon@sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter at @danieljchacon.

Japan to let U.S. assume control of nuclear cache By Michael D. Shear and David E. Sanger The New York Times

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Japan will announce Monday that it will turn over to Washington more than 700 pounds of weapons-grade plutonium and a large quantity of highly enriched uranium, a decades-old research stockpile that is large enough to build dozens of nuclear weapons, according to U.S. and Japanese officials. The announcement is the biggest single success in President Barack Obama’s five-year-long push to secure the world’s most dangerous materials, and will come as world leaders gather here Monday for a nuclear security summit. Since Obama began these meetings with world leaders — this will be the third — 13 nations have eliminated their caches of nuclear materials and scores more have hardened security at their storage facilities to prevent theft by potential terrorists. Japan’s agreement to transfer the material — the amount of highly enriched uranium has not been announced but is estimated at 450 pounds — has both practical and political significance. For years these stores of weapons-grade material were not a secret, but were lightly guarded at best; a reporter for The New York Times who visited the main storage site at

Tokaimura in the early 1990s found unarmed guards and a site less-well protected than many banks. While security has improved, the stores have long been considered vulnerable. Iran has cited Japan’s large stockpiles of bomb-ready material as evidence of a double standard about which nations can be trusted. And last month China began publicly denouncing Japan’s supply, in apparent warning that a rightward, nationalistic turn in Japanese politics could result in the country seeking its own weapons. At various moments, right-wing politicians in Japan have referred to the stockpile as a deterrent, suggesting that it was useful to have material so that the world knows Japan, with its advanced technological acumen, could easily fashion it into weapons. The nuclear fuel being turned over to the United States, which is of American and British origin, is a fraction of Japan’s overall stockpile. Japan has more than 9 tons of plutonium stored in various locations, and in the fall it is scheduled to open a new nuclear fuel plant that could produce many tons more every year. U.S. officials have been quietly pressing Japan to abandon the program, arguing that the material is insufficiently protected even though much of it is in a form that would be significantly more difficult to use in a weapon than the supplies being sent to

the United States. Obama’s initiative to lock down plutonium and uranium around the world was supposed to have been just the first step in an ambitious agenda to seek “the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons,” as he said in Prague in 2009. Now, the downturn in relations with Russia has dashed hopes of mutual reductions in the world’s two largest arsenals. At the same time, North Korea has resumed its program, Pakistan and India are modernizing their weapons, and the Senate has not taken up any of the treaties Obama once described as vital. The result is that nuclear security — eliminating or locking down nuclear material — may be the biggest element of Obama’s nuclear legacy. The only other aspect of his agenda that may yet come to fruition centers on Iran, where economic sanctions, covert action and diplomacy have brought Tehran to the table to negotiate over its nuclear program. But even Obama says his chances of reaching a deal are at best 50-50. “The Obama team came in thinking a lot of things would be easier than they turned out to be,” said Matthew Bunn, a professor at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. One of Obama’s major goals has been to stop the production of new supplies of nuclear material; at the last nuclear security summit, in 2012, he said “we

simply can’t go on accumulating huge amounts of the very material, like separated plutonium, that we’re trying to keep away from terrorists.” But Pakistan has blocked his effort to negotiate a treaty that would end the production of more material — called the Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty — and it is unclear whether the summit communiqué will contain language urging other countries to disgorge their plutonium stockpiles. Both administration officials and advocates of major nuclear reductions argue that Obama has focused a level of attention on securing stockpiles even if his arms reduction efforts have come up short. “What President Obama has done is put it more on the front burner and accelerated the process,” said Sam Nunn, a former Democratic senator from Georgia who played a central role in creating the U.S.-backed program to help dismantle nuclear weapons and clean up nuclear material around the world. “Significant progress has been made — not enough,” said Nunn, chairman of the Nuclear Threat Initiative, a research group that presses for deeper cuts. The summits, which have taken place every two years, have forced national leaders to focus on their stockpiles of materials and their protections, and engaged the United States on their processes for securing them, blending them

down so they cannot be used in bombs, or getting rid of them. “This process has given us the opportunity to build relationships that have opened new doors to cooperation, some of which we can talk about and some of which we can’t,” said Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall, who heads the effort at the National Security Council and has been negotiating with countries participating in the summit. Of the agreement with Japan, she said: “This is the biggest commitment to remove fissile materials in the history of the summit process that President Obama launched, and it is a demonstration of Japan’s shared leadership on nonproliferation.” Sherwood-Randall said that even Russia “has continued to work on nuclear security at a professional level,” despite the tensions over Ukraine. But she conceded: “It is true that at this moment, we will not begin a new discussion about new arms control. This is not something the Russians are interested in at this time.” In fact, Russia is modernizing its nuclear force. So is the United States: To pass the New START treaty in 2010, the administration told Congress it would spend upward of $80 billion on a “life extension” program for its existing nuclear arsenal, and it will cost far more to upgrade nuclear submarines in years ahead.

E-cigarettes’ potent liquid nicotine can also kill By Matt Richtel

The New York Times

A dangerous new form of a powerful stimulant is hitting markets nationwide, for sale by the vial, the gallon and even the barrel. The drug is nicotine, in its potent, liquid form — extracted from tobacco and tinctured with a cocktail of flavorings, colorings and assorted chemicals to feed the fast-growing electronic cigarette industry. These “e-liquids,” the key ingredient in e-cigarettes, are powerful neurotoxins. Tiny amounts, whether ingested or absorbed through the skin, can cause vomiting and seizures and even be lethal. A teaspoon of even highly diluted e-liquid can kill a small child. But, like e-cigarettes, e-liquids are

Tiny amounts of the key ingredient in e-cigarettes, whether ingested or absorbed through the skin, can cause vomiting and seizures and even be lethal. not regulated by federal authorities. Toxicologists warn that e-liquids pose a significant risk to public health, particularly to children, who may be drawn to their neon-bright colors and fragrant flavorings like cherry, chocolate and bubble gum. “It’s not a matter of if a child will be seriously poisoned or killed,” said Lee Cantrell, director of the San Diego division of the California Poison Control System and a professor of pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco. “It’s a matter of when.” Reports of accidental poisonings,

notably among children, are soaring. Since 2011, there appears to have been one death in the United States, a suicide by an adult who injected nicotine. But less serious cases have led to a surge in calls to poison control centers. Nationwide, the number of cases linked to e-liquids jumped to 1,351 in 2013, a 300 percent increase from 2012, and the number is on pace to double this year, according to the National Poison Control Data System. “This is one of the most potent naturally occurring toxins we have,” Cantrell said of nicotine. But e-liquids

are available almost everywhere. “It is sold all over the place. It is ubiquitous in society.” The surge in poisonings reflects not only the growth of e-cigarettes but also a shift in technology. Initially, many e-cigarettes were disposable devices that looked like conventional cigarettes. Increasingly, however, they are larger, reusable gadgets that can be refilled with liquid, generally a combination of nicotine, flavorings and solvents. Unlike nicotine gums and patches, there also is no regulation of e-cigarettes or their ingredients. The Food and Drug Administration has said it plans to regulate e-cigarettes but has not disclosed how it will approach the issue. Many e-cigarette companies hope there will be limited regulation to keep prices low and supply high.

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Deja vu en tema reforma migratoria CHICAGO l San Jose Mercury News se ha atrevido a decir lo que todo el mundo consideraba como un resultado esperado: “No hay perspectivas de que la reforma migratoria se lleve a cabo en 2014.” Debo admitir que, indudablemente, eso es cierto. En los últimos 10 años, el así llamado debate sobre la inmigración — un término más descriptivo sería “quién grita más fuerte y usa datos más dudosos” — ha evolucionado poco y parece estar retrocediendo. La impotencia en torno al asunto, en este momento, es palpable, y las tácticas que utilizan los activistas de la Esther inmigración para reunir sus Cepeda tropas han demostrado tener Comentario poco efecto. Es difícil recordar, pero en el invierno de 2004, las grandes historias giraban en torno a los principios del presidente George W. Bush para la reorganización de la inmigración, para aprobar la cual se esforzó tanto — y si el Sierra Club debía proponer restricciones migratorias estrictas a fin de controlar los daños ambientales junto con las fronteras. Mucha gente comentaba el film de Sergio Arau, A Day Without a Mexican, que se estrenó en mayo de ese año. La movilización contra la propuesta de Bush se inició en 2005, cuando el republicano de Wisconsin, Jim Sensenbrenner, patrocinó una propuesta de ley por la que la asistencia a los inmigrantes ilegales se volvía ilícita. Amenazaba con convertir en delincuentes a miembros de los servicios de salud, comunidades religiosas e inmigrantes legales que prestaran socorro a los inmigrantes. Después vinieron las grandes manifestaciones a favor de la reforma migratoria de 2006 — que alteraron a mucha gente, porque las multitudes salieron a la calle agitando banderas de países extranjeros. La iniciativa reformista de Bush fracasó el verano siguiente. Las manifestaciones siguientes se concentraron en un esfuerzo con tres objetivos: que el voto fuera la herramienta de cambio; reclutar coaliciones formadas por líderes de las fuerzas de seguridad, empresariales y religiosos para presionar por la reforma; y, por último, tratar de obtener legislación que diera, por lo menos a los inmigrantes que vinieron al país de niños, un camino a la ciudadanía. Ya saben qué pasó con eso. Y aquí estamos otra vez, comenzando otro ciclo que empieza con un presidente en su último período, aquellos que piensan que las inminentes elecciones no favorecen la reforma, y un electorado nada entusiasmado. Es cierto: La inmigración no figura como prioridad en los programas de los gobernantes estadounidenses. El presidente Obama, desconcertado por obcecados problemas internacionales, fue denunciado recientemente como deportador en jefe por algunos de los mismos conocidos defensores latinos, quienes prácticamente prometieron a los electores hispanos que él promulgaría la reforma en su primer período. Pero ahora, los puestos de trabajo, la economía y la asistencia médica están antes de la inmigración. Y aquellos que sí piensan en la reforma migratoria tienen sentimientos ambivalentes. Una reciente encuesta del Pew Research Center halló que casi tres cuartos de los estadounidenses piensan que se debe permitir que los inmigrantes que viven aquí ilegalmente permanezcan en el país, si cumplen con ciertos requisitos. Al mismo tiempo, casi la mitad de los encuestados dijo que el aumento de deportaciones bajo el gobierno de Obama era positivo. En cuanto a los hispanos, parece que por cada encuesta que indica que la inmigración es su prioridad máxima, hay otra que dice que no lo es. Un reciente estudio de EC Hispanic Media encuestó a usuarios de habla hispana de U.S. Hispanic Facebook, mayores de 18 años, durante los meses de noviembre y diciembre de 2013, y halló que — como siempre — les importaban más los puestos de trabajo y la economía que la inmigración. En ese momento, había jóvenes inmigrantes que protestaban contra la falta de acción del Congreso tirándose frente a autobuses llenos de deportados con destino a México, y el ex líder sindical, Eliseo Medina, hizo una huelga de hambre de 22 días en el Mall de Washington para centrar la atención en el asunto, en vano. La semana pasada, Elvira Arellano, la mexicana que en 2006 se refugió en una iglesia de Chicago durante casi un año, volvió a entrar ilegalmente en Estados Unidos con otros 20 migrantes latinoamericanos como parte de una protesta para pedir el final de las deportaciones y la aprobación de la ley de reforma migratoria. Pocos lo notaron. Y tras todas las penurias y absurdos de la inmigración que han cubierto las noticias, es difícil imaginar qué sería necesario, en este momento, para que la gente se entusiasmara con la reforma migratoria y obligara a que el Congreso la aprobara. Lamentablemente para millones de familias, empleadores, agricultores y gobiernos locales atrapados en medio, no parece haber esperanzas de que ocurra algo este año — y parece que una vez más, todos mostraremos nuestra indiferencia.

Una familia busca ayuda para hombre deportado Por Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

reciendo en Albuquerque, Ramón Dorado y su familia vivieron con un secreto. Su madre le advirtió que nunca se metiera en problemas con las autoridades, mucho menos que fuera descubierto. La familia Dorado vivían en el país ilegalmente. Su secreto fue descubierto hace cuatro años, cuando la policía detuvo a Ramón por exceso de velocidad. Él tenía 19 años y en pocos días, fue deportado, dejando a su madre, padre y hermana menor. Ahora Dorado, 23, se encuentra en un centro de detención federal en San Diego después de cruzar la frontera la semana pasada como parte de una protesta masiva contra el alto índice de deportaciones durante la administración de Obama. Dorado era de los 150 indocumentados que cruzaron la frontera de Tijuana hacia el puerto de entrada en San Diego, haciendo el viaje sin documentos con la esperanza de reunirse con sus seres queridos por medio del asilo político. Fue la tercera protesta de la campaña nacional organizada por la Alianza Juvenil Nacional Inmigrante, un grupo a favor de los inmigrantes que aboga para detener las deportaciones. Bajo la administración de Obama, 1.9 millones de inmigrantes han sido deportados, comparado con 2 millones en ocho años de la administración de George W. Bush. Norma Dorado, madre de Ramón, dijo que está preocupada por su hijo, pero a la vez, la familia no encuentra la manera de estar juntos de nuevo. “Estoy nerviosa y ansiosa,” comenta Norma Dorado. “Pero tengo fe en que algo bueno pasará.” Ramón Dorado tenía 6 años cuando la familia se mudó a Albuquerque. Él se graduó de Rio Grande High School. Su madre comenzó a limpiar casas y su padre era cocinero de un restaurante. Sus padres comen-

zaron a tomar clases de inglés y enseñar catequismo en la Iglesia. Ramón Dorado tenía licencia del estado y su auto estaba asegurado cuando fue detenido por el oficial en Albuquerque por una violación de tránsito en 2010, dijo su madre. Mientras lo interrogaban, el oficial le preguntó donde había nacido y si tenía documentos. Él dijo que no tenía y al siguiente día ya había sido deportado a México. De haber sido detenido el día de hoy, él hubiera tenido la protección contra deportación a través del programa federal conocido como Acción Diferida para Jóvenes. El programa, dado a conocer en 2012, permite que niños que fueron traídos al país ilegalmente puedan renovar permisos de trabajo y diferir su deportación por al menos dos años. Ramón Dorado asistía al Central New Mexico Community College y estaba a dos semanas de su graduación cuando fue deportado, comenta Norma Dorado. Los últimos cuatro años, la familia ha consultado abogados de inmigración para encontrar la manera de traer a Ramón Dorado de regreso a

Nuevo México de manera legal, pero aún no han encontrado una solución. Desde su deportación, Ramón Dorado ha vivido con su tío en Chihuahua y trabaja para una empresa norteamericana como operador telefónico, contestando llamadas de norteamericanos. Cuando la Alianza Juvenil Nacional Inmigrante estaba abogando por los inmigrantes deportados en su intento de regresar al país, su madre le dijo que se uniera al grupo. Pero él estaba indeciso, esperando encontrar alguna otra forma de entrar de nuevo al país, comenta Norma Dorado. “Lo que me motivó a esto es que quiero estar con mi familia. Queremos estar juntos otra vez,” comentó Ramón Dorado a la estación local en español afiliada a Telemundo la semana pasada antes de intentar cruzar la frontera. “No somos criminales, no somos terroristas. Somos gente honesta que quiere ser parte de un buen país — como los Estados Unidos.” Traducción de Patricia De Dios para The New Mexican.

E

ra la primavera y toda la familia was enjoying this new springtime weather. Grama Cuca estaba en la kitchen sifting flour with her old sedacito. She put down the little sifter to knead her cookie dough con las manos. She always worked up a sweat cuando she was apuñando la masa. Grampo Caralampio came in desde Larry Torres el corral and Growing up sat down sin Spanglish lavarse las manos. “Hey viejo,” grama rebuked him, “¿Por qué no haces wash your hands? I’m sure que you picked up toda clase de germs allá en el corral.” “Oh, leave me alone, Cuca,” grampo grumbled. “A little roña is good porque hace help al body to develop immunities. ¿Qué no ves que children today are always catching enfermedades porque their moms siempre están cleaning todo y los niños no tienen tiempo de hacer develop immunities porque las mamás kill los microbios right away?” Just then, Canutito came into la cocina. He asked, “What are you doing, grampo y grama?” “Oh, we are just haciendo biscochitos and toriqueando,” Grampo Caralampio replied. “What does that mean, grampo?” asked Canutito. “It means que we are just making cookies and gossiping,” Grama Cuca said. “Los biscochitos are para el domingo when your tíos come over a beber café,” she added. Grampo then turned to Canutito and asked him, “Can you bring me ‘el pichel’ de leche from the refrigerator?” “A ‘milk pitcher’ is called ‘un jarrón’,” Grama Cuca corrected him and she put el primer batch de biscochitos en el horno. Soon los cookies were oliendo muy tasty as the smell filled la cocina. Canutito could hardly wait para comer some of them pero el momento que they cooled down, Grama Cuca would stick them en una charola and then she would put the bowl on top of el trastero where Canutito couldn’t alcanzarlos no matter how much he tried to reach them. Later on en el día, cuando grampo y grama were haciendo take un nap, Canutito hizo sneak into la cocina and put a chair by el trastero. He climbed on top y, by standing en pinganillas, he could just barely reach into the charola de cookies. He was just about to grab uno de ellos cuando Grama Cuca called out desde el bedroom, “Ei! Eos cookies are not for you! Ponlos pa’trás into the bowl!” Grama Cuca had always told Canutito que she had ojos in the back of her cabeza y que she could also see right through las paredes con su x-ray vision pero Canutito had never believed her. She could also tell cuando he was lying porque izque she could see Xs in his eyes y Canutito no podía hacer get away con nada. On the following day cuando Canutito went into la cocina to see if he could robar some bizcochitos de la bowl, he found que it was no longer there. He searched and searched y finalmente he found de que Grama Cuca had placed it arriba del ropero in the bedroom dónde Canutito wouldn’t try to steal some. Pero la tentación was just too great para el muchachito. He tried to find a chair to pull over to the clothes closet pero no había una handy. Finalmente Canutito noticed que el basín was next to the ropero. He carefully stepped on top of la tapadera del basín and stretched up on tiptoes pero en eso, the cover on the chamber pot tipped over and Canutito landed on the floor in the middle de los orines del chamber pot por todo el suelo. Just then Grama Cuca came in and found Canutito crying y todo covered con urine and mugres. Canutito decided que grama’s x-ray vision couldn’t see through los basines …

TECH By Chris Suellentrop The New York Times

S

AN FRANCISCO — The notion of virtual reality has been tantalizing since at least the 1980s, when William Gibson’s novel Neuromancer and the holodeck on Star Trek: The Next Generation popularized the idea of transporting people into a three-dimensional computerized environment. And until recently, it’s been science fiction. But after trying an array of prototypes and development kits at the Game Developers Conference last week, I can assure you that virtual reality works. Technology is no longer the limitation. The lingering question is what game designers, artists and filmmakers should do with it. Consumer versions aren’t available yet and may not arrive this year. But for $350, game designers can order the newest version of the Oculus Rift, a device being developed for personal computers and backed by some of the most famous names in video games. The development kit is to begin shipping in July. “It’s not just a peripheral device for game developers,” said Danfung Dennis, a photojournalist who directed the Oscar-nominated feature Hell and Back Again about the war in Afghanistan, and who was at the conference to show a new documentary made to be viewed with the Rift. “This is a new medium for storytelling.” Yet figuring out the right visual language for games, movies and other fictional works in virtual reality is “probably going to be harder than the technology itself,” Dennis said. Cuts, for example, are extremely disorienting. The Rift is basically a TV screen that sits in front of your eyes while you’re wearing a set of blacked-out ski goggles. Instead of manipulating the camera in the world with a hand-held controller, as you would with a normal video game, you perceive your “surroundings” by turning and craning your neck and head, just as you would in real life. Wearing a Rift makes you look ridiculous to others, but it also creates the sensation that you have teleported into an alternate universe. Oculus VR sold 60,000 copies of its first development kit, which began shipping during last year’s Game Developers Conference, where people waited for hours in line to try it. This year, after introducing a vastly improved prototype, Oculus began facing public competition for the first time, most notably in the form of Sony’s Project Morpheus for the PlayStation 4. Sony’s headset isn’t in stores, though the company is making it available to outside developers. At the conference, I used Morpheus to descend into the ocean in a shark cage; to participate in a spaceship dogfight; to battle a medieval dummy with swords; to explore a stone-cobbled courtyard; and to stand on the surface of Mars, as manifested by data from NASA’s Curiosity rover. When I leaned forward in the virtual shark cage to look into the ocean depths, I naturally and unconsciously reached out to grab the railing in front of me — and clawed at the air instead. Most game designers are practically ecstatic about the possibilities. “I want to make a VR game,” said Patrick Plourde, a creative director at Ubisoft’s giant Montreal studio, where 2,000 developers work. He said it would be “very exciting” to make the first must-have game for virtual reality. But Lionel Raynaud, vice president for creative at Ubisoft Montreal, cautioned that the studio was not planning to make such a game yet. The technology would need to sell a million units before it was a viable business for large game developers, he suggested. “One or two failures is enough to close your business,” Raynaud said. “There has to be a market.” Enthusiasts aren’t worried about sales. “I think there is a potential user base of billions,” said Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic Games, which created two demos for the Oculus Rift that could be played at the conference. Sweeney emphasized that the current virtual-reality technology was to the device of his imagination what early mobile devices — think of Palm Pilots and Treos — are to the iPhone 5s. “We’re at Version 1 of a technology that’s going to completely change the world by Version 5,” he said. Microsoft, which has yet to

New app has juicy posts but no names By Jenna Wortham

The New York Times

From Facebook to Twitter to Instagram and Google, many big Internet successes depend on coaxing people into sharing every last bit of information about themselves and their lives. But a new social app, Secret, is testing the limits of just how much sharing Silicon Valley thinks is a good thing. That’s because the sharing is done anonymously. And, as it turns out, much of the chatter is out of Silicon Valley itself — offering a rare, unvarnished look at the ambitions, disappointments, rivalries, jealousies and obsessions of the engineers and entrepreneurs who live and work there. Secret, like a number of other recent apps, connects people anonymously through their address books. Messages appear only as from “friend” or “friend of friend.” Juicy posts that receive a lot of likes or comments also appear occasionally, identified simply by the city or state where they originated. Secret’s makers do not reveal download figures, and it is not highly ranked on iTunes or Google Play charts. But since the service was introduced less than two months ago, it has gained popularity among early adopters and particularly among the tech crowd. Many of the posts on Secret border on the mundane. But they can also offer a hotbed of Silicon Valley gossip. Some postings go so far as to target specific people, including prominent members of the tech industry, even though such comments go against the app’s guidelines. Because of the anonymity, it is never clear whether the posts are telling the truth. A few days ago, the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen dashed off a series of messages on Twitter that appeared to be directed at lurid gossip circulating on applications like Secret, although he did not name that app. “Every day, each one of us has many choices about whether to lift people around us up or tear them down,” he wrote in a series of tweets. Andreessen declined to comment for this article. But his tweets exploded across Twitter as many weighed in on the value of anonymity and ethics. Sarahjane Sacchetti, a spokeswoman for Secret, said the company did not condone attacks against specific people, adding that gossip about specific people within the tech industry made up “a very small fraction of the overall posts.” Over a recent breakfast during the South by Southwest technology conference, David Byttow, a founder of Secret, described the app as a “masquerade ball,” where “you know who is there and who is on the list, but no one can see faces.”

Gadgets help students with special needs By Dale Rodebaugh The Durango Herald

Berk Huelague tests the Oculus Rift virtual-reality gaming system Friday at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.

unveil its own version of the technology for the Xbox or for Windows computers, seems persuaded that virtual reality will be here soon. “To me, there’s a question of whether it takes over the space or whether it’s a solution for certain scenarios,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios. And that’s the real mystery: What games and other experiences will be most appealing in virtual reality? One of the first discoveries people make is that fast-paced games can make you physically ill. Oculus publishes a 42-page guide for developers with recommendations for avoiding eyestrain and preventing disorientation and nausea. Over the past year, the Rift team has gone from demonstrating first-person shooter games that involve run-

ning and jumping in a virtual world to showing off games that involve sitting down — on a couch or in a cockpit — while you look at the world around you. One of the closest analogues might be motion controls for video games, which felt magical when first experienced with Nintendo’s Wii or Microsoft’s Kinect. But years later, most motioncontrolled games are shallow experiences that mimic real-world activities like dancing or bowling and are best played only in short bursts. Virtual reality is similarly transporting in short demonstrations. But no one at the Game Developers Conference was ready to show a game for the Rift or Morpheus that would be worth playing for an hour or more. Still, I left the conference a believer in virtual reality — or unreality.

Some of the most intriguing games I played last week were abstract or even cartoonish. Darknet, a game by an independent designer from San Diego, casts the player as a cyberpunk hacker who is surrounded by colorful globes and nodes. Please Don’t, Spacedog!, a game from a Montreal collective called Ko-Op Mode, is a goofy journey on a dog-piloted space truck that intentionally exploits the sense of bodily displacement that the Rift creates. And IDNA, from a Swiss studio called Apelab, is an interactive animated film in which the player controls the camera by looking around with a Rift rather than embodying an avatar or virtual character. “We want to put people inside our movie,” said Emilie Tappolet, the artistic director at Apelab. “You’re a viewer, not an actor.”

DURANGO, Colo. — Malcolm Kelly has more than books in the backpack he lugs around at Mountain Middle School. Malcolm, a 12-year-old seventh-grader, has difficulty processing language, which is reflected in reading, spelling and writing. He keeps four high-tech gadgets at his elbow to help him capture lectures and write reports. Grace Sheehan, 19, is in the Pathways to Independence program at Durango High School where special-needs students can stay until they’re 21. Grace, whose sensory processing is faulty for reasons that medicine can’t fully explain, hears but doesn’t speak. But an iPad loaded with an app called Speak It! gives her a voice in classroom conversations. Malcolm and Grace are among scores of students in Durango schools who have their special needs ameliorated or solved by turning to technology. Megan Shanley is an occupational therapist who works with children and patients at a neuropsychology clinic. She also is a certified assistive technology practitioner who evaluates computer use for people with disabilities. “High-tech gadgets have been around for some time, but they’ve been prohibitively expensive,” Shanley said. “But over the last three years, they’ve become cheaper and more available.” They produce results. Malcolm has at his fingertips a Livescribe smart pen — not much larger than the standard writing instrument — that has a computer inside that records the spoken word as Malcolm takes notes. Later, if he needs to hear again what the speaker said, Malcolm places the tip of the pen on a word and the computer returns to the same point in the lecture so Malcolm can hear what he missed. WordQ is an app on his laptop that monitors what he’s writing, checks spelling and grammar and suggests vocabulary that he can use. In a recent group discussion in teacher Devon Parson’s classroom, Grace’s left index finger darted around the keypad pecking out answers to questions about hobbies. She would type a word, press a key and a reasonably human voice would say “water aerobics” or “jigsaw puzzles.” Such high-tech gadgets have revolutionized learning for other special-needs students. But they’re handy for anyone who works with words. At The Liberty School, an entire student body of 24 youngsters who are dyslexic, gifted or both, use high tech, said director Bill O’Flanagan. In math class, students no longer use just pencil and paper, he said. They write on an iPad with their finger, playing games that reinforce fractions, timetables and percentages.

LIFE&SCIENCE FDA review of sunscreen ingredients languishes

Health Science Environment

The nose knows (quite a lot, it turns out)

By Brady Dennis

The Washington Post

The tourists flocking to the French Riviera or Spain’s Costa del Sol this summer will slather on sunscreen containing the latest ingredients for protecting against the sun’s most harmful ultraviolet rays. But Americans will have to make due with sunscreens that dermatologists and cancer-research groups say are less effective and have changed little over the past decade. That’s because applications for the newer sunscreen ingredients have languished for years in the bureaucracy of the Food and Drug Administration, which must approve the products before they reach consumers. “We have a system here that’s completely broken down, and everybody knows that it has broken down,” said Wendy Selig, president of the Melanoma Research Alliance. Her group and others, along with dermatologists and sunscreen manufacturers, have joined forces to push for the FDA to approve at least some of the backlogged applications. The agency has not expanded its list of approved sunscreen ingredients since 1999. Eight ingredient applications are currently pending, some dating to 2003. Several of the ingredients were designed to provide broader protection from certain UV rays and were approved years ago in Europe, Asia, South America and elsewhere. In the meantime, advocates for newer sunscreens have grown increasingly frustrated. “These sunscreens are being used by tens of millions of people every weekend in Europe, and we’re not seeing anything bad happening,” said Darrell Rigel, clinical professor of dermatology at New York University and past president of the American Academy of Dermatologists. “It’s sort of crazy. … We’re depriving ourselves of something the rest of the world has.” Even some FDA officials have expressed frustration about how the applications have become mired in a complex regulatory regime, adopted more than a decade ago, that was originally intended to simplify approvals for over-the-counter products used in other countries for at least five years. “This is a very intractable problem. I think, if possible, we are more frustrated than the manufacturers and you all are about this situation,” Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, told lawmakers in November. Part of the hold-up, she said, is that the agency must undertake a lengthy rule-writing process before it can add to the list of active ingredients approved for sunscreens. In addition, the FDA has found some applications lacking in safety data. And differing standards mean that an ingredient considered safe in Canada or Japan, for example, might not automatically get a thumbs-up from U.S. regulators.

New research shows humans can detect at least 1 trillion odors By Meeri Kim

Special to The Washington Post

N

ew-car smell. Fresh-cut grass. Baking bread. Although our universe of aromas seems infinite, new research shows how many odors our noses can actually detect: at least 1 trillion. The results of the experiment exceeded the most commonly reported guess — 10,000 smells — by a factor of a hundred million. While the boundaries of our visual and auditory systems are well-known, this experiment was the first to truly test the limits of the human olfactory system. Our noses exceeded all expectations, given that a trillion smells marked the lower limit of our range. For comparison, our eyes can see a few million different colors, and we can hear about 340,000 tones. The new study should put an end to the widely quoted estimate of 10,000 smells — which many researchers didn’t quite believe. “Ten thousand is kind of pathetic — it’s a pretty low number,” said study author and molecular neurobiologist Leslie Vosshall of the Rockefeller University in New York. “It led to the idea that humans have a comparatively low sense of smell.” Using a procedure similar to a hearing exam, in which listeners must try to distinguish between two tones, Vosshall and her colleagues put 26 noses to the test. Each individual was given three vials, two of them containing the same scent, and asked to determine which smell was the odd one out. After hundreds of these tests

on each subject, the researchers assumed that the subjects’ performances would be similar in recognizing all possible smells able to be made in the lab. They extrapolated that the average human should be able to distinguish at least 1 trillion odors. The study was published online Thursday in Science. According to olfactory expert Avery Gilbert, who was not involved in the new study, the 10,000-smell estimate stems from an outdated 1927 manuscript by two American chemists. They came up with an odor classification system based on four primary smells — fragrant, acid, burnt and caprylic (goatsmelling) — and suggested that any scent could be formed from those building blocks. Using a nine-point scale for each primary smell, they came up with a total of 6,561 possible different smells. Later, that number was rounded up to 10,000. “As a number, it says more about bean counting than about the biology of olfaction,” Gilbert said in an email. By contrast, he believes the new “spectacular” number makes sense. The researchers used a palette of 128 different odor molecules — the simplest building blocks of smells — to create new composite scents. Some of the smells we know best are mosaics made up of hundreds of different odor molecules. For example, the scent of a rose is produced by 275 components working in harmony, and a cup of coffee can contain 400 to 500 — although many are too faint to be detected. The lab-made composite odors were made up of either 10, 20 or 30 elementary components, such as grapefruit,

wintergreen, garbage and garlic, that spanned a wide spectrum of smells. To test olfactory resolution, the team varied the percentage of overlapping components to see how similar two mixtures had to be before subjects could no longer tell the difference. Predictably, the more building blocks that the scents had in common, the harder it was for the subjects to tell the vials apart. None of the individuals could tell the difference between vials that contained 90 percent of the same components. But surprisingly, the researchers found that the average person can pick out an oddball odor when the overlap is less than about half. After extrapolating to all possible mixtures that could be made, they came up with 1 trillion distinguishable smells. Olfactory scientist Joel Mainland of the Monell Chemical Senses Center, who was not involved in the experiments, feels certain that this number is only skimming the surface of what our noses can do. “This is really a lower limit on what you could smell,” Mainland said. “It’s much, much higher than anybody ever thought.” For instance, he notes that the researchers used a maximum of 30 building block smells, when in reality odors can be made up of hundreds. Also, all the components were set to the same intensity; in reality, some components of a scent will hit the nose more strongly than others. “Their work confirms that smell is an incredibly rich, variable, and nuanced medium,” Gilbert said. “It’s why you can dive so deeply into the aroma of a wine, when there are only a few ounces in the glass.

New birdlike dinosaur dubbed ‘chicken from hell’ By Joel Achenbach The Washington Post

Scientists have discovered a freakish, birdlike species of dinosaur — 11 feet long, 500 pounds, with a beak, no teeth, a bony crest atop its head, murderous claws, prize-fighter arms, spindly legs, a thin tail and feathers sprouting all over the place. Officially, it’s a member of a group of dinosaurs called oviraptorosaurs. Unofficially, it’s the “chicken from hell.” That’s the nickname the scientists have been using. It’s the term in the news release associated with the discovery. This dino-bird is not literally a chicken, or even a bird. It’s definitely a dinosaur, and it lived at the end of the Cretaceous period, from about 68 million to 66 million years ago. “It would look like a really absurd, stretchedout chicken,” said paleontologist Emma Schachner of the University of Utah, one of the scientists describing the new species. “It would have been a cross between a chicken and a lizard,” said Tyler Lyson, a paleontologist at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, who excavated some of the fossils on his uncle’s North Dakota ranch in 1999. The fossils of three specimens of the new dinosaur were found in a sedimentary rock layer known as the Hell Creek Formation in three locations in North and South Dakota. The formation, the scientists said, helped inspire the nickname.

But there’s also the matter of appearance: It’s an unsettling beast. It looks like it could stomp you, rip you to pieces or simply peck you to death. It’s a big animal, the biggest oviraptorosaur species found in North America. The creature brings to mind a huge flightless bird, such as

an ostrich or emu. The weird crest on its head, which resembles half a dinner plate turned vertically, looks like that of a cassowary. The new dinosaur is loaded with biological accessories and adaptations, as if evolution had been inspired by a Swiss Army knife. “This group of dinosaurs looks really bizarre even by dinosaurian standards,” said HansDieter Sues, another Smithsonian paleontologist and a co-author of the paper — “A New LargeBodied Oviraptorosaurian Theropod Dinosaur from the Latest Cretaceous of Western North America” — published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One. In the final line of The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin famously wrote of the “grandeur” of natural selection, through which “endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved” — but he never saw this animal from a Colonel Sanders nightmare. The scientific name of the new species is Anzu wyliei — “Anzu” is from a mythological creature; the “wyliei” is after the grandson of a patron of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, which acquired the fossils and where the research has been conducted. Carnegie Museum paleontologist Matthew Lamanna, the lead author of the new study, and his colleagues spent close to a decade figuring out how the disarticulated bones of the three specimens fit together.

Tech firms float ideas to expand Web access L

ast summer, Internet search engine giant Google began a serious, albeit typically lighthearted, effort to make the Web’s many opportunities available to the entire planet. In an attempt to solve a widespread problem, the company launched a sequence of about 30 giant helium-filled balloons from the vicinity of Christchurch, New ZeaRoger land. The idea behind the Snodgrass pilot test was that the relaScience Matters tively inexpensive highaltitude balloons would float along, with variable wind speeds used to maneuver them into a stable formation in the stratosphere (roughly 10-30 miles above the ground), where they could then relay continuous signals to ground stations and provide cellphone and Internet data to hundreds of relatively isolated people below. Each balloon would provide a signal to an area within a radius of approximately 24 square miles, Google estimated, and each would last about 100 days before it would be brought back to earth, outfitted with a new envelope and returned to the array. According to a United Nations report in 2012, about 2.4 billion people have access to the Internet. That leaves nearly 5 billion people — those who have practically no access to long-distance telephone wires, satellites or fiber-optic cables — beyond the reach of the Web. The vast unmet need may be invisible, but the potential economic impact of connecting that population has not been lost on the commodores of the Internet industry as they begin to stake out new territory for future development. To some extent, the Google managers acknowledged in advance how far-fetched the balloon-powered Internet idea might turn out to be when they named it “Project Loon.” “Looking ahead,” the project website says, “Project Loon will continue to expand the pilot through 2014, with the goal of establishing a ring of uninterrupted connectivity around the 40th southern parallel, so that pilot testers at this latitude can receive continuous service via balloon-powered Internet.” Another approach to worldwide connectivity, inspired by decades of development in high-altitude solar aviation, has been proposed by a New Mexico company in Moriarty. A year ago, the New Mexico Department of Economic Development awarded a $141,390 grant to the Titan Aerospace Corporation to create several new jobs. Since then, Titan has been raising funds and preparing to manufacture unmanned, solar-powered aircraft systems that will be capable of continuous operation in the stratosphere for up to five years. In October 2013, Titan named Vern Raburn, formerly a founder and CEO of Eclipse Aviation, its CEO. Titan’s design uses drone technology and very long wings wrapped in thousands of photovoltaic cells to create a broadband platform that can cover large swaths of the Earth’s surface. The “Solera” line of sun-powered drones have nearly the range of satellites, but they can power themselves into position and bring themselves in for repairs and upgrades. The company captured national attention earlier this month when rumors were widely published that social media giant Facebook was considering acquisition of Titan. “According to a source with access to information about the deal, the price for this acquisition is $60 million,” wrote Sarah Perez, who first reported the story on TechCrunch. “We haven’t heard from either of the companies yet, and until you hear officially from one company or the other, it’s hearsay,” said Bryan Hayden of Albuquerque. Hayden manages Robotic Skies, a nationwide network of repair facilities that currently service manned aviation equipment and are about to be optimized to inspect and repair commercial drones. He recently gave a presentation on unmanned aircraft systems at the national convention of the Aeronautical Electrical Association. Asked whether Google or Titan has the better plan for a new broadband platform, Hayden said there is room for both. “While they have overlapping missions, each has advantages.” The balloon is much less expensive, but is at the mercy of the winds, whereas the solar vehicle may cost a few million, but has fixed wings and can find a designated course and stay with it. “I’m not an expert in cellular,” Hayden said. “I’m a technical optimist. I think the possibilities are obvious. Whether it’s Facebook or some other kind of company, this is the kind of thing we are going to see.” Contact Roger Snodgrass at roger.sno@gmail.com.

Congress focuses on dams amid California drought

Authorities ID shooting victim

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office has identified 29-year-old Oron Rocky Giese as the man killed Saturday in an early morning shooting in a rural neighborhood south of the city off N.M. 14. Giese’s girlfriend, Meagan Sayre, has been charged with an open count of murder and is being held without bond. The shooting occurred at about 2 a.m. Saturday following an altercation between the two and another man, who has not yet been identified, the sheriff’s office said. “She [Sayre] did fatally shoot him [Giese],” said Lt. William Pacheco. Sayre, 23, reportedly works at a bank in Santa Fe, and Giese’s Facebook page notes that he worked for the state Department of Cultural Affairs. On a Facebook page with Sayre’s name and likeness, she is listed as being “in a relationship” with Giese. The sheriff’s office called in a New Mexico State Police crime scene team to help with the investigation, which is ongoing.

Man steals car with child, baby ALBUQUERQUE — Authorities say a man is in custody after a woman’s car was stolen in the Albuquerque area while her two kids were inside. Bernalillo County Sheriff’s spokesman Sid Covington says the woman left her 3-year-old and 5-month-old in the car Friday around 10:40 a.m. to check out a yard sale in the city’s South Valley. Covington says the suspect got into the still-running vehicle and was able to drive away. Covington says the man was stopped about a block away and taken into custody without incident. Authorities are not releasing his name because they say he has several different aliases. He is being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center and will likely face charges of unlawful taking of a vehicle and child abuse. Staff and wire reports

Bodies of Colo. plane crash victims yet to be recovered The Associated Press

MONTROSE, Colo. — Authorities on Sunday had yet to recover the bodies of five people feared dead after their small plane crashed into a southwestern Colorado reservoir a day earlier. Sonar images showed the fuselage appeared to be intact and the wings still attached, Ouray County spokeswoman Marti Whitmore said. Authorities worked to get additional crews and equipment quickly in place to aid the recovery work that continued through Sunday and will resume Monday, Whitmore said. The identities of those aboard weren’t immediately released. The single-engine Socata TBM700 was heading from Bartlesville, Okla., to Montrose, about 180 miles southwest of Denver, when it went down around 2 p.m. Saturday, Whitmore

said. It crashed into Ridgway Reservoir, about 25 miles south of Montrose. The flight took off from Gadsden, Ala., before stopping in Oklahoma, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said. The cause of the crash isn’t yet known. On Sunday, dive teams from Denver and Gunnison marked the location of the wreckage as efforts focused on finding the victims and the main body of the aircraft, Whitmore said. “It’s in deep water and it’s in cold water, and we don’t have the right resources in the county” to recover the plane, she said. The spokeswoman said earlier Sunday that the aircraft was about 90 feet from shore in 60 to 90 feet of water in the reservoir in Ridgway State Park, which will remain closed through Monday.

How they voted By Targeted News Service

WASHINGTON — Here’s a look at how area members of Congress voted over the previous week.

House votes

House vote 1

Individual health insurance mandate and Medicare: The House has passed the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act (HR 4015), sponsored by Rep. Michael C. Burgess, R-Texas. The bill would delay the health care reform law’s individual insurance mandate for five years and repeal Medicare’s sustainable growth rate formula for calculating payments for physicians’ services, replacing it with a 0.5 percent annual increase in the single conversion factor for payments through 2018. Burgess said the bill averted an upcoming 25 percent cut in Medicare payments for physicians’ services, providing a permanent fix to the problem of physicians’ uncertainty about how much they will be paid by Medicare. An opponent, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, said the bid to delay the individual mandate threatened to derail negotiations on a permanent fix of the Medicare payments problem, “threatening our seniors’ ability to see their doctors and get the health care they need.” The vote, on March 14, was 238 yeas to 181 nays. Yeas: Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M. Nays: Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M.

Senate votes There were no key votes in the Senate this week.

The barge has been moved to a shipyard and is no longer at the scene of the spill, according to a statement Sunday evening from Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s office. Penoyer said at least one cruise ship, initially socked in by fog Saturday, was being allowed to end its trip and return to Galveston. He said others would be handled on a case-by-case basis. Its path into Galveston would take it through a safety zone defining the oil cleanup area. There was no timetable for a total reopening of the channel, which typically handles as many as 80 vessels daily.

Smart prevention reduces fire risk

T COMMENTARY: MEGAN MCARDLE

Young, healthy and uninsured A

s the clock ticks down to the end of open enrollment for health coverage, one thing is becoming clearer: what the final demographics will look like. Demographics matter a lot because they will help determine whether the health insurance market goes into a death spiral (or requires hefty federal subsidies to keep it from doing so). Young, healthy people, and a lot of them, are needed to keep the market stable and premiums low. As we head into the final few weeks, we have a pretty good idea of how many young healthy people there will be, and the answer is: a whole lot fewer than the health care wonks were expecting. But wait a minute, I hear you cry. We don’t know any such thing! After all, everyone expects a lot of young, healthy people to wait until the last minute. Are you saying they’re wrong? Not exactly. I, too, expect the demographics of March enrollment to skew younger than prior months. But at this point, unless that enrollment is truly massive, I don’t think that will be enough. To see why, let’s start with some basic numbers. As of March, 1, 4,242,325 people had selected a plan on one of the exchanges; 1,075,990 of them, or just a smidgen over 25 percent, were young adults ages 18 to 35 — that critical demographic that the exchanges need to enroll. Previous projections had been for 40 percent. It’s true that in Massachusetts, the young showed up relatively late to the party. However, at this point, with one month to go, the youth contingent would have to

be truly massive to get near the 38.5 percent that was originally projected. Just how massive depends on the total number of signups in March. But to get some perspective, it’s not even mathematically possible for youth signups to get to 40 percent of total signups unless we get at least 912,174 more people to sign up in March — and then, it’s only possible if every single one of those people, including covered family members, is between the ages of 18 and 35. This is, if course, not likely. Thankfully, as the number of signups rises, the percentage of them that needs to be young adults falls. But even if we assume 3.5 million people sign up in March — theoretically possible, but not what anyone I’m aware of is projecting — 55 percent of them would have to be young to pull the demographics back in line. A lower target — say, 33 percent — would be easier to achieve. We could hit that even if the signups in March are less than 50 percent young adults … as long as at least 2 million people sign up. That’s about 10 percent higher than the December numbers — certainly doable, but I don’t know if I’d call it the most likely scenario. How much does this matter? Well, a team from the Kaiser Family Foundation calculated that if enrollment were only 33 percent young, costs would exceed premiums by about 1.1 percent; if it were 25 percent (i.e. if it doesn’t change much), costs would exceed premiums by about 2.4 percent. However, Seth Chandler, a law professor who specializes in health and insurance law, disputes that calculation. And

as far as I can tell, it’s only looking at age — that is, we’re assuming that if we get fewer young people, we get fewer of every kind of young people. But what if what we’re witnessing is the broad operation of adverse selection — older and sicker people buying while the young and healthy stay away? The first place that would show up in the data would be … a disproportionately low number of young people, particularly young men. Which is exactly what we do see. This explanation seems more likely to me than the alternative. So, are we definitely due for a death spiral? No. For one thing, that 38.5 percent number doesn’t come from the insurers; it comes from the government. The government has been talking to insurers, but it isn’t running their actuarial models. If the insurers assumed a worse demographic mix than the government analysts, then we may not need so many young people to keep the markets sound. Insurers also want this to work, so they may be willing to take losses for a few years to keep premiums low — especially if the government funnels money to them through the risk- corridor program. What this does tell us, however, is that it is now probably impossible to achieve the demographic mix that the government has been forecasting. And keeping it from happening may well prove very expensive for the federal government. Megan McArdle writes about economics, business and public policy for Bloomberg View.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Zia Station will be hard to maneuver

I

n response to the article (My View, “Zia Road Rail Runner station not ADA accessible,” March 16) — I am a person with very limiting mobility issues. I live in close proximity to the Zia Road Station. Because of my disabilities and the access issues relating to the Zia Road Station, if the station were to open, I would be unable to use it. Although I can stand and walk for very short periods of time, I am also dependent on my wheelchair. Having someone drop me at the station is not an option. I would need my wheelchair at my destination, and everyone I know couldn’t lift it in and out of a car. I could get a newer, lighter wheelchair, but being on Social Security means a

very tight budget. I would like to know how the site for the station was selected and what criteria was used in the selection process. Thomas Nichols

Aggressive recruiting We shouldn’t really be surprised that there are some “bad apples” in our otherwise splendid Santa Fe and New Mexico police forces. Just take a look at the recruiting poster that was plastered over the rear ends of many of our city buses some months ago. The poster, exhorting you to join the Santa Fe Police Department, depicted a fright-

ening and menacing group of police officers, armed to the teeth and beyond with heavy automatic weapons, face masks, helmets, etc. This scary group was apparently in the process of aggressively confronting a lawbreaker with all this military equipment in their role to “Protect and Serve.” Clearly, these posters attracted exactly those folks who couldn’t wait to use all this weaponry as soon as possible, even when the confronted lawbreakers might be an SUV full of kids.

too, for that matter) to oil and gas drilling within their counties, I am completely opposed to their accepting oil and gas revenues for support of the Santa Fe Public Schools and the Santa Fe Community College. This is tantamount to saying, “not in my backyard,” but if the revenue is raised in someone else’s backyard — well, that’s OK. We have to be willing to say no to accepting these bribes, to stick up for our values. I’m sure the citizens of these counties would be more than willing to come up with the necessary tax revenues. We should just return it to the companies involved. Ruth Kelly

alk about a vicious cycle. Recent increases in catastrophic wildfires have meant that year after year, the federal government overspends its firefighting budget. That, in turn, means money set aside to prevent fires and to restore lands damaged by fires instead is spent fighting fires. Forests aren’t thinned. Brush isn’t cut back. The risk of fires increases. Coupled with drought, bigger, hotter fires result. The firefighting budget is busted, leading to … That’s right, the cycle repeats. There has to be a better way. Because, as westerners know, it is crucial to both battle blazes and prevent them. Congress, working across party lines, is figuring out an approach to both fight fires and reduce the risk of hotter blazes. How? By developing a way to use natural disaster funds to fight the fires rather than diverting money from fire prevention into firefighting. The bipartisan congressional legislation would direct firefighting agencies to dip into natural disaster funds when firefighting costs reach 70 percent of the 10-year average. It’s the brainchild of Republican Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch of Idaho, and Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley of Oregon. Republican Reps. Raul Labrador and Mike Simpson of Idaho have introduced a companion bill in the House. This is smart. Every dollar diverted makes the problem worse. Spending up front to better manage lands and reduce fire risk will decrease the chance of fires growing out of control. Restoration work is essential, but it’s hard to put money there when putting out fires is so costly. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell told The Associated Press that in 2013, the government’s fire-suppression budget was exceeded by $500 million. Going overbudget is nothing new, either. Firefighting costs have exceeded the budget in eight of the past 10 years, something that won’t change considering the extent of the Western drought. Already experts from the National Interagency Fire Center are predicting a busy wildfire season in Southern California, New Mexico and Arizona this year, expanding into Northern California and Southern Oregon later in the year. Fire is now a part of life in the West, as hurricanes are in coastal areas and tornadoes are in the Midwest and Texas. Living with danger is a part of life. Making the danger worse by spending less to prevent forest fires is bad policy. We urge Congress to pass this law — and soon.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 24, 1914: Silver City — a married couple here who are deaf and mute have a small daughter 2½ years of age. The parents have taught the child how to read the finger signs and, more remarkable still, to talk with the fingers. The other day, the little one was visiting her father at his work. He wanted her to go home. There commenced a silent conversation between the two. Her baby fingers made the signs with all the skill of an expert in finger talking and created much interest. She would stamp her little foot and then let fly with finger signs until the entire place was convulsed. The little one also speaks and is quite an interesting child. March 24, 1964: Washington — Gov. Jack M. Campbell of New Mexico warned today the entire supply of the Pecos River Basin above Carlsbad could be depleted by the year 2010 unless action is taken to halt the spread of a thirsty plant. The cause of alarm is a deep-rooted plant with the two-bit name of phreatophytes, which obtains water from the water table or the layer of soil just above it … the most troublesome of these plants is the salt cedar. March 24, 1989: Clovis — A measles outbreak that flared up around Lubbock, Texas, is suspected in five Clovis cases, prompting a call for vaccination of Clovis High School students. Parents were urged to send their youngsters to an all-day campus measles clinic Thursday after a high school student developed a measleslike rash. Some 1,500 Clovis High students were sent home Wednesday with vaccination request forms for their parents to sign.

Every rallies for first PGA win as Scott comes undone First-time tour winner holds on for a 2-under 70 to capture Bay Hill By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Matt Every always believed he would finally win on the PGA Tour. He couldn’t have imagined it happening Sunday at Bay Hill. Nine shots out of the lead going into the weekend, still four shots behind Adam Scott going into the final round, Every took advantage of a surprising collapse by the Masters champion and held on to the very end for a 2-under 70 to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Every made two bogeys in the last three holes, including a 4-foot par putt he missed on the 18th hole. That forced him to wait 10 excruciating minutes to see if Keegan Bradley Matt Every could force a playoff. Bradley’s 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole missed on the left side. Cocky by nature, Every choked back tears when he realized he had won in his 92nd try as a professional. “It’s hard,” he said, stopping to compose himself. “It’s tough, man. You just never know if it’s going to happen. You get there so many times. It’s nice to get it done.” Scott, in his final tournament before he defends his title at Augusta National, came undone. Along with two quick bogeys to start his round, he didn’t make a birdie over the final 14 holes. Nothing summed up his awful day like the par-5 16th, the easiest at Bay Hill. Every made a bogey to fall to 14-under par. Scott, playing behind him in the final group, had a 20-foot eagle putt on the 16th to tie for the lead. He ran it 4 feet by, and then missed that for a three-putt par. Scott closed with a 76 to finish third. He had to win to reach No. 1 when he arrived at the Masters. Now, the No. 1 spot held by Tiger Woods for the last year will be up for grabs at Augusta among Woods, Scott

S

T. LOUIS — It took a program stocked with NBA prospects to finally end Wichita State’s perfect run. Andrew Harrison scored 20 points, twin brother Aaron had 19, and Kentucky survived a potential winning 3-pointer at the buzzer by Fred VanVleet to knock off the undefeated Shockers with a 78-76 victory Sunday in the NCAA Tournament. Julius Randle added 13 points and 10 rebounds, and James Young also had 13 points for the No. 8 seed Wildcats (26-10), who made a series of clutch free throws in

the closing minutes to advance to the Sweet 16 in arguably the most captivating game of a thrilling first weekend. Now, Big Blue Nation gets to jump right into another high-profile matchup: Louisville awaits in the Sweet 16 on Friday in Indianapolis. The Wildcats beat their bitter in-state rival in December. Cleanthony Early scored 31 points, and Ron Baker had 20 for the Shockers (35-1), who hadn’t lost since last year’s Final Four while taking an entire city — and state — on quite a ride. Kentucky took the lead for good at 73-71 when Young knocked down a 3-pointer with less than 2 minutes to go. Early answered

with a basket for Wichita State, and Andrew Harrison made two free throws for Kentucky. Baker banked in a 3-pointer, and Randle made two more foul shots. Early’s two free throws with 9.8 seconds left got the Shockers within 77-76, and they still had a chance when Andrew Harrison missed the second of two free throws and Early got the rebound. VanVleet raced up court and called timeout with 3.2 seconds left. Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall drew up a play that had Tekele Cotton inbounding the ball to VanVleet, who took a shot from

Stanford sends Kansas and its star freshman packing By Bill Pennington The New York Times

ST. LOUIS — Stanford’s plan to stop Andrew Wiggins, the star Kansas freshman, was straightforward: It was the responsibility of every Cardinal player on the court. Stanford 60 Whether StanKansas 57 ford was employing a zone defense, playing man-to-man or using a hybrid of the two, its players were instructed to always know where Wiggins was. “The goal was to not let him go anywhere unaccompanied,” Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. “Try to deny him the ball, try to make him work a little extra, and always know when he has the ball.” All the attention paid off: Wiggins scored 4 points Sunday and did not have a basket in the second half. With its star limited, second-seeded Kansas looked out of sync offensively and never found a rhythm in a 60-57 loss to Stanford, the

10th seed in the South Region. In man-to-man defense, the Wiggins assignment fell to the senior forward Josh Huestis, who knew before the game that he especially would be charged with at least slowing down a player who is expected to be a top pick in the NBA draft. “I just tried to make it difficult for him,” Huestis said. “Whether it was catching the ball or finding a clean, open spot on the floor, I never let him do those things without being there first. I never wanted to let down or let him relax.” Stanford (23-12) led most of the game and doggedly wore down Kansas (25-10) in a game that never seemed as close as the score. “The game was a struggle from the opening tip,” said coach Bill Self of the Jayhawks, who had played without another celebrated freshman, the injured center Joel Embiid, since March 1.

Murray eases past Lopez, advances to fourth round at Sony Open By Steven Wine

The Associated Press

KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — Andy Murray won Sunday while Ivan Lendl watched as a fan rather than as a coach. With Lendl among the stadium spectators, Murray advanced to the fourth round at the Sony Open by beating Feliciano Lopez 6-4, 6-1. The tournament is the first for the twotime Key Biscayne champion since he parted with Lendl, who coached Murray for two years and helped him become a Grand Slam champion. “We’re back together again. It was only a four- or five-day split,” Murray joked. “No, it’s a shame he won’t be watching many more of my matches from the stands.” Roger Federer also advanced easily, beating

qualifier Thiemo de Bakker 6-3, 6-3. Venus Williams committed 44 unforced errors but had 11 aces and edged wild-card Casey Dellacqua 6-4, 5-7, 6-4. Lendl helped Murray win Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, an Olympic gold medal and last year’s Key Biscayne title. Lendl said he decided to step down because he wanted to concentrate on other projects, among them playing more senior events. Murray was unhappy about the split and said Lendl will be difficult to replace. Before their partnership, Murray was 0-4 in Grand Slam finals — although he did win Key Biscayne in 2009. The sixth-seeded Murray moved one round closer to a potential quarterfinal against Novak Djokovic. Murray returned

well and made the most of his chances at the net to improve to 9-0 against Lopez, seeded 32nd. The victory came on a sunny, 85-degree afternoon. Murray confirmed it was hot, although the Scotsman — who lives parttime in nearby Miami — said Fahrenheit temperatures give him pause because he’s more familiar with Celsius. “I started using Fahrenheit a bit more, but I don’t know the conversion,” he said. “If I speak to someone back home and they say, ‘How hot was it?,’ and I say, ‘It’s 85 today,’ and they say, ‘What is that?,’ I have absolutely no idea.” Murray’s next opponent will be No. 11-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who out-

Kyle Busch wins again at Fontana By Greg Beacham

SCOREBOARD

Local results and schedules

The Associated Press

FONTANA, Calif. — With tires and tempers blowing up all over the track for 400 crazy miles, Kyle Busch stayed calm and relied on his remarkable knack for big finishes at Fontana. Busch won on this 2-mile oval for the second straight year Sunday, holding off Kyle Larson, Tony Stewart and his older brother, Kurt, on a frantic two-lap sprint to the finish. Kyle Busch capably blocked Larson and outlasted a crowded field to win a race featuring a track-record 35 lead changes and numerous tire problems. Busch stayed out of trouble and roared up late for his second straight stunner in Southern California, following up the Las Vegas, Nev., native’s final-lap surge to victory a year ago. “Holy cow, what do you expect when you’ve got a green-white-checkered finish and everybody has to come down pit road and put four tires on?” Busch asked after his third career win at Fontana. “That was Days of Thunder right there. Unbelievable day.” With his 29th career Sprint Cup victory in his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, Kyle Busch is NASCAR’s fifth winner in five races already this season. He led just five laps — the fewest of his career in a win. Jimmie Johnson was comfortably in front when he blew a tire with seven laps left, precipitating the wild finish. Jeff Gordon moved in front until Clint Bowyer spun with two laps to go, setting up an overtime finish. Gordon was hoping to finish

on old tires when Bowyer spun, but then elected to pit along with most of the leaders. Kurt Busch gambled with just two tires, allowing him to restart in second, but his younger brother came up from fifth in the final two laps to win. “I came off the fourth turn in disbelief that we won this thing, because we were mediocre all day,” Kyle Busch said. “It was really weird for us, not a race that we’re typically used to. But now there’s a load off your shoulders that you can go out the rest of the season and race the way you want to.” He also got a thrill from outlasting Larson, the 21-year-old rookie who held him off Saturday to win the Nationwide Series race. “I guess you couldn’t ask for

more, but I was surprised to get up there late in the race,” Larson said. “We were probably a 12th-place car for most of the day.” He had to settle for the best finish of his Sprint Cup career in the No. 42 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing. Kyle Busch, who went to Larson’s car Saturday to congratulate him on his Nationwide win, pointed out his window at Larson after Sunday’s finish, pumping his fist in approval. “What a shoe that boy is,” Kyle Busch said of Larson. Kurt Busch finished third, with Matt Kenseth in fourth and 2012 champion Stewart in fifth. Several teams had serious tire problems on this weathered track, with multiple

flats and cautions for various problems throughout the hot afternoon. The problems likely were the latest effect of NASCAR’s new aero rules, which are producing higher speeds that lead to extra stress on the tires — particularly on the bumpy asphalt on Fontana’s back straightaway, which already wears out tires aggressively. Those problems might frustrate pit crews, but they also can lead to phenomenal racing, as the sellout crowd on its feet for the finish could attest. “By no means is this a problem for Goodyear,” Kurt Busch said, referring to NASCAR’s tire manufacturer. “It’s just a thumbs-up for NASCAR for allowing teams to get aggressive in all areas.”

MLB makes quick trip Down Under L.A. Dodgers beat Arizona in Sydney By Dennis Passa

The Associated Press

SYDNEY — Yasiel Puig and Paul Goldschmidt hadn’t left the stadium before workers began dismantling what was quite an impressive place to play baseball. For a week, at least. Home plate was dug up, the pitcher’s mound flattened and the eight-foot-high perimeter home run fence taken down within an hour after Puig’s Los Angeles Dodgers beat Goldschmidt’s Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 Sunday. It was a two-game Dodgers’ sweep of Major League Baseball’s opening weekend at

Sydney Cricket Ground. The Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw won the Saturday opener 3-1, sending the Diamondbacks back to the U.S. 0-2 to start the season and with the L.A. team holding a very early two-game lead in the NL West over their Arizona adversaries. The regular season will resume next weekend for both teams, with a few exhibition games scheduled this week while they recover from jet lag after the 15-hour flights Down Under and back. The cricket ground, and Australian baseball fans, meanwhile, may never be the same. Nearly 80,000 fans attended the weekend games at the 162-year-old ground in leafy Moore Park, minutes from downtown Sydney. Clearly, sports-mad Australia

loved having the world’s best baseball players in Sydney. So did their rugby, cricket, soccer and Aussie Rules football stars, who took time to mingle with Kershaw and Puig, among others, for photo shoots. It was a mutual admiration society, with Kershaw posing on his birthday with a kangaroo and kicking around a rugby ball on the eve of his opener. Puig and Goldschmidt even tried their hand at cricket. Cracker Jack and two-footlong hot dogs became part of the menu at the SCG snack bars, and MLB Commissioner Bud Selig was noncommittal about a return to Australia in the near future. Australian fans might like to see it sooner than later. Never were foul balls into the stands more heartily cheered,

because they could keep them. In cricket, where balls are changed only after a predetermined amount of play, they must be returned to the field. “This event was outstanding, really cool,” Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. “The crowds were great. The preparation from the city of Sydney was outstanding. They treated us well.” Mattingly says a concern after the teams return to the U.S. will be avoiding complacency. They’ll have a few days off, then three exhibition games before returning to the regular season next Sunday for a threegame series in San Diego. “My biggest fear is when you start games, games that don’t count are tough to get ready to play,” he said. “And then you get lazy and you get bad habits.

Avalanche kills 2 skiers in Sochi

Exhibit features work of black photographer Charles ‘Teenie’ Harris

MOSCOW — An avalanche killed two skiers Sunday at the Russian mountain resort used for the Sochi Olympics the day after it opened to the public, the resort said. Six skiers were on the middle section of Labirint run when the avalanche struck, the Roza Khutor resort said in a statement. The snow buried two women, and rescuers who dug them out were unable to save them, it said. The four other skiers escaped unharmed. The Kuban regional branch of state Rossiya television, citing witnesses, reported earlier that three people had been killed. Roza Khutor was the site of the Alpine skiing competitions during the Winter Games in February and the Paralympics that followed. The resort reopened to the public on Saturday. The resort said it was clearing the snow from the run and trying to determine the cause of the avalanche. The Roza Khutor management also expressed its condolences to the family and friends of the two skiers who died.

PITTSBURGH — A new exhibit at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art shows the vibrant world of Negro League baseball through the eyes of legendary black photographer Charles “Teenie” Harris. The Baseball in Pittsburgh exhibit opened Saturday and runs through Sept. 22. It includes 25 pictures, and 650 more are available for online viewing. Harris photographed legendary players such as Jackie Robinson but also captured fans of the era and even youth league hopefuls. “It wasn’t just famous people. It was ordinary people, women,” said guest curator Sean Gibson, the greatgrandson of Negro League slugger Josh Gibson, who was voted into the baseball Hall of Fame even though he never played in the majors. One picture in the exhibit shows players in the dugout and the nearby fans. “These fans here, they’re in their nice Sunday-best outfits. So it was like

an outing for them, a date. You don’t see fans like that nowadays,” Gibson said. Before Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947, talented black players had been limited to the Negro League, which began informally in the mid-1800s and reached its heyday from the 1920s to the 1940s. Players such as Satchel Paige, Cool Papa Bell and Gibson barnstormed the country and competed in the Negro League World Series. Louise Lippincott, head of the Harris archive at the museum, notes that Harris had a photographic mission to go beyond the obvious or sensational to capture the essence of daily African American life in the 20th century. “Teenie was an extraordinary documentary photographer with a great artistic eye,” Lippincott said. Harris helped start the Negro League’s Crawford Colored Giants and played shortstop for a time, but he found his calling as a photographer at the Pittsburgh Courier, a black paper which was distributed nationwide via a network of Pullman train porters. Through the paper, Harris had endless opportunities to chronicle daily life and meet famous and powerful people. Gibson noted that Harris photographed people of all races. There’s a

shot of Dominican Horacio Martinez, who played for the New York Cubans, leaping in the air over third base, another of the Rangerettes women softball team and one from the mid1950s showing young players smiling, arms around one another’s shoulders.

Gibson said he included a picture of Boston Red Sox hitter Ted Williams and Cuban great Minnie Minoso, partly to honor how Williams spoke out for Negro League stars when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1966.

UCLA snaps SFA’s 29-game winning streak Former UNM coach Alford leads Bruins over No. 12 Lumberjacks

berjacks (32-3). “Getting to the third round and not being able to advance to the Sweet 16, that is what we want now. We were close and that’s what we are hungry for. “Coach told us this is the culture now. The winning culture is the only thing that is acceptable and losing is not going to be acceptable.” The Lumberjacks hadn’t lost since Nov. 23, a 66-58 defeat at East Tennessee State. After Wichita State lost to Kentucky to have its 35-game winning streak snapped, SFA’s 29-game streak became the nation’s longest, for about 3 hours. “I’ll say what I told the team — I couldn’t be prouder,” SFA coach Brad Underwood said. “We didn’t have a great year. We had a year for the history books. … A 29-game winning streak, they don’t know how good that really is. That’s very, very special.” The Lumberjacks head back to Nacogdoches, Texas, having earned the first NCAA Tournament victory in school history, an overtime upset against VCU on Friday.

SAN DIEGO — For the first time since before Thanksgiving, the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks felt the sting of a loss. They were outmanned in both tradition and talent in losing 77-60 to the fourth-seeded UCLA Bruins in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. Their 29-game winning streak, which for about three hours was the longest in the country, was ended by a program that has won 11 national championships. The 12th-seeded Lumberjacks (32-3) were playing in just the third NCAA Tournament game in their history. “This is going to make us more hungry. That’s what it’s all about,” said guard Thomas Walkup, who had 22 points and 11 rebounds for the Lum-

Mercer’s NCAA run ends with loss to Vols MIDWEST REGIONAL

WEST REGIONAL

RALEIGH, N.C. — Jarnell Stokes had 17 points and a career-high-tying 18 rebounds, and Tennessee denied Mercer a second straight 83-63 upset in the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. Josh Richardson had a career-high 26 points and Antonio Barton added 18 for the 11th-seeded Vols Tennessee 83 (24-12), who outrebounded Mercer Mercer 63 41-19 and kept the Southeastern Conference perfect in the tournament. They joined Florida and Kentucky in the round of 16 — the first time three SEC teams made it that far since 2007. Tennessee will face second-seeded Michigan (27-8) in a Midwest Regional semifinal Friday night in Indianapolis. Langston Hall had 15 points to lead the 14th-seeded Bears (27-9), who beat Duke in the signature upset of the tournament but couldn’t answer Tennessee’s size.

BAYLOR 85, CREIGHTON 55 In San Antonio, Texas, Isaiah Austin and Brady Heslip each scored 17 points, and Baylor shut down Creighton’s Doug McDermott with suffocating defense, ending the career of the one of the most prolific scorers in college history. Baylor’s size and speed overwhelmed the third-seeded Bluejays (27-8) and their national scoring leader, earning a third trip to the Sweet 16 since 2010. McDermott, who averaged 27 points this season, finished with 15 but had just three in the first half as Baylor built a 20-point lead. McDermott ranks fifth on the NCAA career scoring list. No. 6 seed Baylor (26-11) had five players score in double figures and shot 64 percent in one of the dominant performances of the NCAA Tournament. The Bears advance to play Wisconsin in the West Regional semifinals.

EAST REGIONAL IOWA ST. 85, NORTH CAROLINA 83 In San Antonio, Texas, DeAndre Kane drove for the game-winning layup with 1.6 seconds left, and No. 3 seed Iowa State advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2000. The Cyclones (28-7) head to Madison Square Garden next week to face No. 7 seed Connecticut in the East Regional semifinals. The Tar Heels (24-10) are gone in the NCAA Tournament’s opening weekend for the first time in consecutive seasons under coach Roy Williams.

cent, earning its first trip to the NCAA Tournament round of 16 in nearly two decades. Anthony Gill added 13 points for the Cavaliers (30-6), who turned in a dominating performance while controlling the tempo and shutting down the eighth-seeded Tigers (24-10) at nearly every turn. Virginia led by 15 at halftime and pushed that to 27 points late, picking right up where it left off in its strong finish to Friday’s tournament-opening win against Coastal Carolina.

ARIZONA 84, GONZAGA 61 In San Diego, Aaron Gordon and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson scored 18 points each, and Arizona looked every bit the No. 1 seed in the West. After four days of upsets and buzzer beaters, Arizona (32-4) closed out the NCAA Tournament’s first weekend with a display of domination. The Wildcats harassed the eighth-seeded Bulldogs (29-7) into 21 turnovers — 15 on steals — that led to 31 points. Arizona led by 21 in the first half and continued to work over Gonzaga to earn its third trip to the Sweet 16 in four years. Up next for the Wildcats is a trip up the coast to Anaheim, where they’ll meet San Diego State, a team they beat in this same arena early in the season. Przemek Karnowski scored 14 points and Kevin Pangos added 12 for Gonzaga.

NCAA Tournament games in three days as the Bruins had in the previous five seasons combined. Alford replaced Ben Howland, who was fired a year ago after the Bruins lost to Minnesota in their NCAA Tournament opener. This is UCLA’s first trip to the regionals since Howland got the Bruins to their third straight Final Four in 2008. Florida beat UCLA in the national championship game in 2006 and again in the national semifinals the following season. The Bruins have won five straight and seven of eight overall. UCLA’s Norman Powell, who played at San Diego’s Lincoln High, scored 16 points, and Kyle Anderson had 15 points and eight rebounds. Desmond Haymon had 17 points and Nikola Gajic added 10 for the Lumberjacks. Haymon’s four-point play sent the Lumberjacks into overtime against fifth-seeded VCU on Friday night and SFA won 77-75. The Lumberjacks stayed with the Bruins through much of the first half before the mismatch in talent and pedigree became obvious.

Wichita: Kentucky successful at using its superior size Continued from Page B-1 the top of the key. But the shot was wide the entire way, and it clanked off the rim as the buzzer sounded and Kentucky began to celebrate. The team full of blue-chip prospects had finally ended the blue-collared team’s dream. The Midwest Regional showdown came after an entertaining undercard matchup that saw Stanford knock off Kansas, and it lived up to every expectation. Kentucky was successful early using its superior size, not only in the paint but also on the perimeter, where the 6-foot-6 Harrison twins dwarfed the 5-11 VanVleet. But after the Wildcats took a 19-15 lead midway through the half, Wichita State ramped up its trademark defense, forcing a series of turnovers and getting right back in the game. VanVleet was the catalyst. On one sequence late in the half, he stripped Aaron Harrison and hit Early in transition, and he was fouled slamming over 7-foot Willie Cauley-Stein. Early converted the free throw as the shockers built a 37-31 lead at the half. Early hit a 3-pointer right out of the locker room, too, to match the Shockers’ biggest lead at 40-31. But VanVleet picked up his third foul moments later, and Kentucky took advantage of the Shockers missing their floor general by gradually pulling ahead. The game remained a back-and-forth prizefight the rest of the way, neither team leading by more than five, each answering the other with clutch 3-pointers and pressurefilled free throws. It only made sense that the game would come down to the final possession.

Sends: Stanford’s stifling zone defense rattled Kansas Continued from Page B-1 Self said Wiggins had an off-game. “I’m sad for our team, and I’m sad for him,” Self said. “It wasn’t our day, and it wasn’t his day today.” Wiggins made one of six shots from the floor, missed both his 3-point attempts, had one assist and did not take a shot in the final 8 minutes 31 seconds. A stifling zone defense and the commanding presence of Stanford’s towering frontcourt appeared to rattle Kansas, which shot 32.8 percent from the floor. Jamari Traylor, a reserve who had 17 points and 14 rebounds in the Jayhawks’ victory over Eastern Kentucky on Friday, scored 3 points and was 1 of 8 from the field. “We didn’t attack their zone well, which happens when you’re not playing confidently,” Self said. “And when we did get inside, we had to contend with a 6-10 guy and a 6-11 guy.” Or, as Traylor said, “we couldn’t buy a basket.” Kansas, which trailed by at least 5 points for much of the final 14 minutes, mounted a 7-1 run to tie the game with five minutes left. The game remained close, with Stanford holding a 53-51 lead entering the final minute. Two free throws by the Cardinal’s Dwight Powell extended the lead, and Anthony Brown, after a Wiggins turnover, added another free throw with 43.6 seconds remaining. Once Kansas’ Naadir Tharpe missed a layup, Brown went back to the line, where he sank two free throws to give Stanford a 7-point lead with 33 seconds remaining. In the next 15 seconds, though, Conner Frankamp, a reserve guard for Kansas, made two long 3-pointers to cut Stanford’s lead to 59-57. After Brown added another free throw, Frankamp had a last opportunity to tie the game, but his turnaround 3-point attempt fell short about two seconds before the final buzzer. “I didn’t get a good look, and I knew it was off as soon as it left my hand,” Frankamp said. Dawkins credited the veterans on his team. Although he did not mention Kansas’ younger players, like Wiggins, by name, he said: “I think that it is good to have experience. You want older players, guys who have been in these moments before. “Those are the guys who know what to expect.”

Jack, Cavs snap Knicks’ eight-game win streak The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jarrett Jack scored a seasonhigh 31 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers won 106-100 Sunday night to end the eight-game winning streak of the New York Knicks, who wasted a chance to pull within two games of a playoff spot. Cavaliers 106 Hours after being handed Knicks 100 a chance to pull closer to the final spot in the Eastern Conference when Atlanta blew a fourth-quarter lead in Toronto, the Knicks responded with an inept final period of their own after they led by 17 points in the first half. They couldn’t stop Jack and couldn’t get a basket from Carmelo Anthony, who missed all five shots in the final period and finished with 32 points. Jack scored 23 in the second half and finished with 10 assists for the Cavaliers, who snapped a four-game losing streak.

No. 1 seed South Carolina beats Cal State Northridge The Associated Press STANFORD REGIONAL

SEATTLE — Tiffany Mitchell scored 24 points, Alaina Coates added 13, and topseeded South Carolina took a while to pull away from No. 16 seed Cal State Northridge in a 73-58 win on Sunday in the first round of the S. Carolina 73 NCAA Tournament. Northridge 58 South Carolina (28-4) were the new kids when it came to being a top seed in the NCAAs, garnering the achievement after never being higher than a No. 3 seed in the past. And while the Gamecocks didn’t play poorly against the champions of the Big West Conference, it took far longer than expected to finally dispatch the pesky Matadors. South Carolina outscored Northridge 27-11 at the free throw line and had 20 secondchance points. Janae Sharpe led Cal State Northridge (18-15) with 26 points, but was held in check for most of the second half. OREGON STATE 55, MIDDLE TENNESSEE ST. 36 In Seattle, Sydney Wiese made six 3-pointers and scored a career-high 26 points, and ninth-seeded Oregon State ousted eighthseeded Middle Tennessee State. Wiese put on a shooting display midway through the second half, hitting five 3s in a six-minute span when the Beavers (24-10) blew the game open. Wiese made 7 of 15 shots, had five rebounds and four assists. NORTH CAROLINA 60, UT MARTIN 68 In Chapel Hill, N.C., Xylina McDaniel scored the go-ahead basket off an offensive rebound with 56 seconds remaining to help fourthseeded North Carolina overcome an 18-point second half deficit and defeat UT Martin. McDaniel scored 14 points, even converting a shot from sitting on the floor under the basket. MICHIGAN STATE 91, HAMPTON 61 In Chapel Hill, N.C., Freshman Aerial Powers had 26 points and 18 rebounds, Annalise Pickrel added 21 points, and fifth-seeded Michigan State defeated No. 12 Hampton. Branndais Agee had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Spartans, who shot 58 percent from the field in the first half to open a 32-point lead at the break en route to an easy win. PENN STATE 62, WICHITA STATE 56 In State College, Pa., Maggie Lucas scored 22 points, rallying Penn State from an early scare in a 62-56 win over Wichita State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Lucas led the Lady Lions (23-7) back from an 11-point hole and becoming an unwanted piece of tournament history: A No. 3 seed has never lost a game to a 14. FLORIDA 83, DAYTON 69 In State College, Pa., Cassie Peoples scored 21 points, and all five Florida starters scored in double figures, leading the Gators past Dayton in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. The 11th-seeded Gators (20-12) will play Penn State Tuesday night in the Stanford Regional. LOUISVILLE REGIONAL LOUISVILLE 88, IDAHO 42 In Iowa City, Iowa, Sara Hammond led five players in double figures with 16 points, and third-seeded Louisville rolled past Idaho. Jude Schimmel had 14 points and Asia Taylor scored 13 for the Cardinals (31-4), who’ll face either Marist or host Iowa in the second round on Tuesday. IOWA 87, MARIST 65 In Iowa City, Iowa, Theairra Taylor scored 22 points, Bethany Doolittle added 21 and Iowa blew out Marist.

Samantha Logic had 11 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds for the sixth-seeded Hawkeyes (27-8), who will face third-seeded Louisville on Tuesday for a trip to the Sweet Sixteen. MARYLAND 90, ARMY 52 In College Park, Md., Alyssa Thomas had 13 points and 14 rebounds, Lexie Brown scored 21, and No. 4 seed Maryland closed the first half with 20 straight points to roll past Army. The Terrapins (25-6) trailed 18-15 before taking control against the 13th-seeded Black Knights (25-8), champions of the Patriot League. TEXAS 79, PENN 61 In College Park, Md., Imani McGee-Stafford had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and fifthseeded Texas rallied from a 15-point, first-half deficit to beat No. 12 seed Penn, the Longhorns’ first NCAA win since 2008. McGee-Stafford went 8 for 11 from the field and made all four of her free throws for the Longhorns (22-11), who shot 61 percent in the second half to end a skid of four consecutive first-round losses. LSU 98, GEORGIA TECH 78 In Baton Rouge, La., Danielle Ballard scored 24 points, and LSU led wire-to-wire in a victory over Georgia Tech. Theresa Plaisance added 21 points and DaShawn Harden 17 for the Lady Tigers (20-12), who picked an opportune time to reach their highest point total of the season and led by as much as 20 in the second half. WEST VIRGINIA 76, ALBANY (N.Y.) 61 In Baton Rouge, La., Christal Caldwell scored 26 points, Bria Holmes added 20, and West Virginia defeated Albany 76-61 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. Averee Fields added 10 points for secondseeded West Virginia (30-4), which will try to win a second-round game for the first time in program history Tuesday night against No. 7 seed LSU. LINCOLN REGIONAL UCONN 87, PRAIRIE VIEW A&M 44 In Storrs, Conn., Breanna Stewart led a balanced offense with 19 points and 10 rebounds as defending champion UConn routed Prairie View A&M. Stewart was among five Huskies (35-0) who scored in double figures on coach Geno Auriemma’s 60th birthday, giving him his 92nd NCAA Tournament win. SAINT JOSEPH’S 67, GEORGIA 57 In Storrs, Conn., Erin Shields had 18 points and seven rebounds to lead ninth-seeded Saint Joseph’s to a win over eighth-seed Georgia in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Ashley Robinson added 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Hawks, who won in the tournament for the first time in 14 years. Natasha Cloud added 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists. JAMES MADISON 72, GONZAGA 63 In College Station, Texas, Kirby Burkholder had 28 points and 18 rebounds to lead No. 11 seed James Madison to a win over No. 6 seed Gonzaga. A 3-pointer by Shaniqua Nilles put Gonzaga up by four points before James Madison (29-5) used a 12-0 run to take a 59-51 lead with 3½ minutes left. Burkholder had six points and two steals in that stretch. TEXAS A&M 70, NORTH DAKOTA 55 In College Station, Texas, Courtney Walker had 19 points and eight rebounds, and No. 3 seed Texas A&M used a big run to pull away from tournament newcomer and 14-seed North Dakota and cruise to the win. The Aggies, who won the national title in 2011, were making their ninth straight appearance in the tournament and North Dakota was one of five women’s teams in the tournament for the first time.

SUNS 127, TIMBERWOLVES 120 In Minneapolis, Markieff Morris scored 25 points off the bench to lead Phoenix to its biggest comeback of the season, a victory against the Timberwolves. The Suns trailed by 22 in the first half, but they shot a season-high 57 percent from the floor to overcome Kevin Love’s 36 points and 14 rebounds. Love fell an assist short of a tripledouble and committed a crucial turnover in the final minute. With the game tied at 118, Love lost the ball in the paint and Eric Bledsoe made a fast-break layup. RAPTORS 96, HAWKS 86 In Toronto, Kyle Lowry scored 25 points, Jonas Valanciunas had 13 points and 13 rebounds, and the Raptors beat Atlanta. DeMar DeRozan scored 21 points, Greivis Vasquez had 12, and Terrence Ross 10 as Toronto avoided its first three-game home losing streak since dropping games against Brooklyn, Miami

and Denver between Nov. 26 and Dec. 1. Toronto fell in double-overtime to Oklahoma City on Friday and lost to Phoenix last Sunday. NUGGETS 105, WIZARDS 102 In Denver, Kenneth Faried had 20 points, and Aaron Brooks hit four straight free throws in the final 12 seconds, helping the injury-riddled Nuggets hold off Washington. Randy Foye added 17 for a Nuggets team that was missing J.J. Hickson, who suffered a torn ligament in his right knee Friday. Wilson Chandler also didn’t play (strained left hip) and Jan Vesely didn’t return after bruising his rib cage late in the third quarter. KINGS 124, BUCKS 107 In Sacramento, Calif., DeMarcus Cousins had 32 points and 12 rebounds, Isaiah Thomas had 30 points and eight assists, and the Kings sent Milwaukee to its seventh straight loss. Cousins made 14 of 19 shots, four of six free throws and added four assists and two steals. NETS 107, MAVERICKS 104 (OT) In Dallas, Joe Johnson scored 22 points, including the tying layup in regulation and the go-ahead 3-pointer in overtime to lead Brooklyn past the Mavericks in Jason Kidd’s return to Dallas as a coach. The Nets swept the two-game season series with Dallas in their first year under Kidd, who spent his 41st birthday on the floor, where he was essentially the coach at point guard when the Mavericks won the 2011 title. LAKERS 103, MAGIC 94 In Los Angeles, Jordan Hill had a career-high 28 points along with 13 rebounds in his first start in more than nine weeks, and the Lakers sent Orlando to its ninth straight loss. Nick Young scored 26 points off the bench, helping the Lakers end a four-game skid. Pau Gasol had six points in 18 minutes, and sat out the second half after feeling nauseous and dizzy. Steve Nash, who had 11 assists in 19 minutes off the bench Friday night against Washington after missing the previous 15 games because of chronic nerve damage in his back, did not play.

Bay Hill: Scott couldn’t recover Continued from Page B-1 and Henrik Stenson, who tied for fifth at Bay Hill. Every grew up about 90 minutes away in Daytona Beach. This was the first PGA Tour event he attended as a kid, coming with his father to watch Mark Calcavecchia, his favorite player. After a wild final hour, Every donned the blue blazer on the 18th green and had an audience with The King — tournament host Arnold Palmer. “I kept telling myself, ‘Maybe it’s going to be somewhere special,’ ” Every said about going for his first win. “This is really cool. I still can’t believe it.” Every finished at 13-under 275, one shot ahead of Bradley, who needed two late birdies for a 72. Until Sunday, about the only time Every made news on the PGA Tour was when he was arrested and jailed on a misdemeanor drug possession charge at the 2010 John Deere Classic after agents were called to a casino hotel because of a strong odor of marijuana coming from the room he was in. Every paid the price with a three-month suspension that kept him from retaining his PGA Tour card. He once said earning his card back was his greatest achievement, though that sure takes a seat back to his win at Bay Hill. Along with getting into the Masters, Every qualifies for two World Golf Championships and the PGA Championship. Jason Kokrak closed with a 73 to finish alone in fourth. Erik Compton, twice a recipient of a heart transplant, shot 69 and tied for fifth with Stenson and Francesco Molinari of Italy (73). As big of a win as it was for Every, it was crushing for Scott. His long putter staked him a big lead at the halfway point, and it hurt over the final two rounds, particularly on Sunday. The longest putt he made all day was from 12 feet for par on the 15th hole, and he missed five putts inside 10 feet. He had talked Saturday night about being in the prime of his career and needing to capitalize on chances. Instead, the 33-year-old Australian

Adam Scott of Australia chips onto the fifth green Sunday during the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando, Fla. CHRIS O’MEARA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

let another one get away. Scott had a three-shot lead over Bradley to start the final round and had another sloppy start. This time, however, he didn’t recover. He went bunker-to-bunker for bogey on the opening hole and pulled his 3-wood off the tee and into the water for another bogey on No. 3. He appeared to steady himself with an up-and-down birdie on the par-5 fourth. He didn’t make another birdie the rest of the way. Every seized control after one of his worst shots of the day, and one of his best breaks. He pulled his tee shot on No. 9 toward the trees and the out-of-bounds stakes, only for the ball to roll along the cart path for a slight opening through the trees. He hit that 15 feet below the hole for birdie, and then tied Scott for the lead with a 20-foot birdie putt on the next hole. And when Every made an 8-foot birdie putt on the par-5 12th, it was the first time since midmorning Thursday that someone other than Scott was not atop the leaderboard. And it only got better for Every — and worse for Scott — the rest of the way.

Sony: Li Na overtakes Keys Continued from Page B-1 lasted Marcos Baghdatis 4-6, 7-6 (6), 7-5. Tsonga rallied from a 5-1 deficit in the tiebreaker. Federer didn’t face a break point against de Bakker, and after two matches he has lost only 10 points in 20 service games. Federer said a new racket he’s using gives him more power, especially on his first serve. “Right now I’m doing a good job,” he said. “But then again, this wasn’t Andre Agassi on the other side, or Djokovic. It’s just important for me to keep that up and remind myself it’s going well so far.” Federer’s latest win gave him 43 career victories at Key Biscayne, one more than Pete Sampras and second in men’s history only to Andre Agassi’s 61. Williams, a three-time champion seeded No. 29, has won 54 matches on the island. She considers the tournament her home event, because she lives an hour away in Palm Beach Gardens. Her latest victory took 2½ hours. “I love being here,” she said. “I wanted to play

Monday.” Williams’ next opponent will be No. 10 Dominika Cibulkova, who beat No. 22 Alice Cornet 7-6 (6), 6-1. Li Na overcame three set points to overtake American Madison Keys 7-6 (3), 6-3. The No. 2-seeded Li, the reigning Australian Open champion, won even though she had seven double-faults and was broken four times. Keys failed to convert her set points serving at 5-3 in the first set. She also squandered a lead in the second set, when three times she was within a point of going up 3-love against Li. “She’s No. 2 in the world for a reason,” Keys said. “She just won Australian Open for a reason. She’s a great player. I played well at times, and she just played the bigger points really, really well.” Monday’s schedule includes six-time champion Serena Williams against fellow American CoCo Vandeweghe, who rallied past Samantha Stosur 5-7, 7-5, 7-5 in a match that ended at 2:29 a.m. Sunday.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Ex is invited to family events

Dear Annie: Thirty-two years ago, my ex left me for another woman. He was verbally abusive and denigrated the children and me every chance he had. People did not realize what I went through during my marriage. I remarried 23 years ago, and the children are now grown adults. I have no contact with my ex at all unless it involves a major event for our kids, such as a graduation or wedding. Here’s the problem: In the past three years, my sisters have begun asking my ex and his new wife (that same Other Woman) to our family get-togethers, including bridal showers and my nephew’s wedding. In turn, my ex has invited my siblings to their family gatherings, including holiday celebrations. My husband and I cannot understand why my siblings would invite my ex and his wife to family events after all these years. Because of this, we have not attended any family gatherings, which hurts my 84-year-old mother. I have explained to her why we don’t show up when we suspect my ex will be present. We always make up for it by visiting her the day before or after. Annie, I do not want to see my ex or his wife at family functions. They are not family. Two of my sisters have been divorced. I asked whether they would like it if I invited their ex-husbands to my family events. They assured me they will stop. My mother’s birthday is coming up, and my husband and I have decided to go to the party at a restaurant. If my ex shows up, we will leave. Am I wrong not to want to see him anymore? Why do my siblings do this? — Hurt Feelings Dear Hurt: It’s possible your siblings do this because they think your children would like it. Ask. But when they include your ex, they are saying they prefer his company to yours, which we agree is terribly hurtful, not only to you, but to your mother, and you should let them know. Regardless, they get to invite

whomever they choose, and you get to decide whether or not to attend. Dear Annie: For us older folks looking into senior homes, there’s a major gap. We’ve found that while nursing homes get state oversight, senior residences usually are exempt from such scrutiny. However, since many senior citizens have restricted diets, that premise is cruel. Few seniors truly know about food content. Menus fail to specify which items are high-carb or high-sodium. We need to advocate to close that gap. Since many of your readers have elders in their family, let’s seek their help. — Salemtowne, Ore. Dear Oregon: Senior residences are not all alike. While some oversight should exist to prevent abuses, seniors who are capable of living independently are presumed to be able to handle their own diets. The point of a senior residence is to provide community, activities, transportation and the luxury of having housekeeping assistance and cooked meals. If there is a special diet, most places will try to comply, but you have to tell them and keep tabs on it. Children of seniors who live in these places and believe their parents need nutritional supervision should look into it. And seniors who are considering retirement residences should check out such amenities before making a decision about where to live. Dear Annie: Recently you advised a grieving widower to ask his doctor to recommend a grief counselor. Many hospices also offer grief counseling to the community, even if you are not connected to a hospice patient. They also offer support groups for people grieving children, parents, spouses or partners. The service is free, although donations are always welcome. I am a volunteer at a hospice, and our grief counselors are outstanding — and busy. — Volunteer at Hospice of the Piedmont, N.C.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Be aware of your spending habits, as you could find that a partner wants the same ability to buy as you do. This conversation could cause some upset. Tonight: Have fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You’ll beam in whatever you want, but later you will have to deal with the implications of your actions. Tonight: Not to be found.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Step back from a problem rather than add to it. Given some time, the situation will unravel itself. Tonight: Take a break from everything. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You seem to have walked into a situation with a lot of power plays, and you might be wondering why. Tonight: Do what you want. Jacqueline Bigar

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. © 2014 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
