Senators fail to break stalemate as spending impedes budget deal A year ago, Santa Fe transplant Iris Vazquez climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to commemorate her recovery from liver cancer. COURTESY IRIS VAZQUEZ

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Senate Republicans and Democrats hit an impasse Sunday over spending in their lastditch struggle to avoid an economyjarring default in just four days and end a partial government shutdown that’s entering its third week. After inconclusive talks between President Barack Obama and House Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., took charge in trying to end the crises, although a conversation Sunday afternoon failed to break the stalemate. “I’m optimistic about the prospects for a positive conclusion to the issues before this country today,” Reid said as the Senate wrapped up a rare Sunday session.

year from now, Iris Vazquez hopes to be standing on the top of Licancabur, a 19,404-foot peak in Bolivia. She’s one of 13 women selected by the Peaks Foundation for its 3 Peaks 3 Weeks Challenge next October in South America. In addition

to Licancabur, the women plan to climb Cerro Oportus (4,772 feet) in Chile and Huayna Picchu (8,920 feet) in Peru. The climbers also will raise money to support women and girls in mountain communities. Meanwhile, the Santa Fe transplant is hiking in the mountains around the city. She regularly climbs Atalaya, the popular mountain trail east of the city, in her light purple REI hiking shoes that

she bought for last year’s ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro. She also trains with Ralph Bolton at Buddha Fitness Club at the Railyard and studies tai chi with Grand Master Daniel Walker. “I’m getting strong, meeting a challenge and raising money to do good in the world,” Vazquez said.

ne of the basic principles of science is that good theories extrapolate well. The laws of gravity hold both here and on the moon, and this universality enables us to land a spacecraft on Mars. Darwin drew the theory of evolution from studies of a remote island in the Pacific, but today we use it to explain the emergence of drug-resistant tuberculosis in a city hospital. The theories of gravity and of evolution are two of our greatest scientific achievements. But in contrast to the universal nature of these laws, our understanding of the human world — the messy realm of newspapers and cafes, traffic jams and gossip, governments and social movements — is remarkably limited.

Hospital mum on center’s future Christus St. Vincent says it’s keeping options open regarding facility By Tom Sharpe The New Mexican

Santa Fe’s only general hospital, Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, won’t rule out closing or changing the mission of the smaller south-side hospital known as Physicians Medical Center. A nurse at Physicians Medical Center, located between Rodeo Road and Interstate 25 near St. Francis Drive, told The New Mexican last week that managers and doctors there have told her that Christus St. Vincent is considering closing Physicians Medical Center or turning it into a geriatric psychiatric hospital or a rehabilitation hospital. Asking that her name not be published to protect her job, the nurse said that even though the 20-bed Physicians Medical Center is faring well financially and has an infection rate less than that of the 260-bed Christus St. Vincent, the larger hospital is looking to make up for its financial shortfalls on the back of the smaller one, which it acquired two years ago. “I really want the community to know,” she said. “Any whiff of this would be very helpful.”
