U.S. ramps up atomic rebuilding for modest arms cuts

ot long ago, broadcasters who knew almost nothing about how Adrian Peterson conducted himself off the football field called him a better person than he is a player.

Talking heads spout that sort of nonsense every Sunday in the fall, praising professional athletes as fine human beings because they are terrific at their jobs.

Now Peterson, 29, an all-pro running Milan back with the MinneSimonich sota Vikings, is being Ringside Seat treated as a pariah. A grand jury in Texas has charged him with child abuse for hitting his 4-year-old son many times with a switch. Graphic pictures of boy’s injuries have circulated on the Internet, stirring emotions and a high-tech lynch mob made of the very broadcasters who formerly touted Peterson as a role model.

Peterson says he didn’t mean to hurt his little boy, only to teach him to behave.

Peterson’s method of discipline was the same sort of punishment that he received as a boy, he said.

In the hang-’em-high world we live in, people with no particular knowledge of the case are now determined to condemn Peterson.

Boomer Esiason, a studio analyst for CBS Sports, has led the brigade pronouncing Peterson guilty without the formality of a trial.

“I think Adrian Peterson is in a well of trouble, and I think he should pay a significant price. I don’t give a damn how he grew up,” Esiason told Boston radio station WBZ. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton called on the Vikings to suspend Peterson. Dayton, a Democrat, said Peterson’s star status and assumptions about what he did to his child are enough to boot him from his job.

“Yes, Mr. Peterson is entitled to due process and should be innocent until proven guilty. However, he is a public figure, and his actions, as described, are a public embarrassment to the Vikings organization and the state of Minnesota,” Dayton said in a statement.

Two reasons Peterson is being treated as a public enemy involve other people who worked for or were fired from his league.

2013-14 Santa Fe Public Schools teacher evaluation breakdown

n one of the strongest challenges yet to the state’s new teacher evaluation system, Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd is asking state education officials to delay the use of standardized test scores as a component within that system until the state can figure out how to accurately measure that data.

The push for a delay, which Boyd detailed in an editorial published in Sunday’s New Mexican, represents a change of thinking for the superintendent, who was an early supporter of the evaluation system.

“I continue to believe that using student learning outcomes as part of the teacher evaluation system is essential,” Boyd said in an interview Sunday. “But it is critical that we get it right, and right now, there are a number of questions that need to be resolved.”

Boyd’s request comes amid similar requests and questions regarding the state’s teacher evaluation system, especially as the state transitions from Standard Based Assessment, or SBA, tests to Common Core Partnerships for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, exams this year.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — As the Islamic State group battles across Syria and Iraq, pushing back larger armies and ruling over entire cities, it is also waging an increasingly sophisticated media campaign that has rallied disenfranchised youth and outpaced the sluggish efforts of Arab governments to stem its appeal.

other online platforms to entice recruits with professionally made videos showing fighters waging holy war and building an Islamic utopia.

The extremist group’s opponents say it is dragging the region back into the Middle Ages with its grisly beheadings and massacres, but its tech-savvy media strategy has exposed the ways in which Arab governments and mainstream religious authorities seem to be living in the past.

Most Arab governments see social media as a threat to their stability and have largely failed to harness its power, experts say. Instead, they have tried to monitor and censor the Internet while churning out stale public statements and state-approved sermons on stuffy government-run media.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A sprawling new plant here in a former soybean field makes the mechanical guts of America’s atomic warheads. Bigger than the Pentagon, full of futuristic gear and thousands of workers, the plant, dedicated last month, modernizes the aging weapons that the United States can fire from missiles, bombers and submarines.

It is part of a nationwide wave of atomic revitalization that includes plans for a new generation of weapon carriers. A recent federal study put the collective price tag, over the next three decades, at up to a trillion dollars.

This expansion comes under a president who campaigned for “a nuclearfree world” and made disarmament a main goal of U.S. defense policy. The original idea was that modest rebuilding of the nation’s crumbling nuclear complex would speed arms refurbishment, raising confidence in the arsenal’s reliability and paving the way for new treaties that would significantly cut the number of warheads.

Instead, because of political deals and geopolitical crises, the Obama administration is engaging in extensive atomic rebuilding while getting only modest arms reductions in return.

Supporters of arms control, as well as some of President Barack Obama’s closest advisers, say their hopes for the president’s vision have turned to baffled disappointment as the modernization of nuclear capabilities has become an end unto itself.

“A lot of it is hard to explain,” said Sam Nunn, the former senator whose writings on nuclear disarmament deeply influenced Obama. “The president’s vision was a significant change in direction. But the process has preserved the status quo.”

Odds are that lower U.S. birth rates are here to stay, even if some of the recession-induced decline reverses, said Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.

Fewer teens than ever had babies last year — 26.6 per 1,000 women, down 57 percent since 1991, according to an August report from the Department of Health and Human Services that analyzed data back to 1940.

Global marches draw notice to climate change More than 100,000 take to the streets in New York ahead of U.N. summit

By Verena Dobnik and Michael Sisak The Associated Press

NEW YORK ens of thousands of activists walked through Manhattan on Sunday, warning that climate change is destroying the Earth — in stride with demonstrators around the world who urged policymakers to take quick action.

Starting along Central Park West, most came on foot, others with bicycles and walkers, and some even in wheelchairs. Many wore costumes and marched to drumbeats. One woman played the accordion.

But their message was not entertaining: “We’re going to lose our planet in the next generation if things continue this way,” said Bert Garskof, 81, as a family member pushed his wheelchair through Times Square.

He had first heard about global warming in 1967, “when no one was paying much attention,” said Garskof, a native New Yorker and professor of psychology at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University.

Organizers said more than 100,000 marched in New York, including actors Mark Ruffalo and Evangeline Lilly. They were joined in midtown Manhattan by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, former Vice President Al Gore and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

On Tuesday, more than 120 world leaders will convene for the United Nations Climate Summit aimed at galvanizing political will for a new global climate treaty by the end of 2015.

“My sense is the energy you see on the streets, the numbers that have amassed here and in other cities around the world, show that something bigger is going on, and this U.N. summit will be one of the ones where we look back and say it was a difference maker,” de Blasio said.

Ban agreed.

and there is no time to lose,” he said. “There is no Plan B because we do not have planet B. We have to work and galvanize our action.”

The New York march was one of a series of events held around the world to raise Ban Ki-moon awareness about climate change.

In London, organizers said 40,000 marchers participated, while a small gathering in Cairo featured a huge art piece representing wind and solar energy. In Rio de Janeiro, marchers at Ipanema Beach had green hearts painted on their faces.

Celebrities in London including actress Emma Thompson and musician Peter Gabriel joined thousands of people crossing the capital’s center, chanting: “What do we want? Clean energy.

When do we want it? Now.” “This is important for every single person on the planet, which is why it has to be the greatest grass roots movement of all time,” Thompson said. “This is the battle of our lives. We’re fighting for our children.”

In New York, a contingent came from Moore, Okla., where a massive tornado killed 24 people last year, as did hundreds of people affected by superstorm Sandy, which the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the British meteorological office said was made more likely by climate change.

In Australia, the largest rally was in Melbourne, where an estimated 10,000 people took to the streets with banners and placards calling on their government to do more to combat global warming.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was a particular target of the protesters. Abbott’s center-right coalition has removed a carbon tax and has restricted funding for climate change bodies since coming to power last year.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s Maven spacecraft arrived at Mars late Sunday after a 442 millionmile journey that began nearly a year ago.

The robotic explorer fired its brakes and successfully slipped into orbit around the red planet, officials confirmed. “This is such an incredible night,” said John Grunsfeld, NASA’s chief for science missions.

Now the real work begins for the $671 million mission, the first dedicated to studying Mars’ upper atmosphere. Flight controllers in Colorado will spend the next six weeks adjusting Maven’s altitude and checking its science instruments. Then Maven will start probing the upper atmosphere of Mars. The spacecraft will conduct its observations from orbit; it’s not meant to land.

Residents complain of food shortages in Ebola lockdown FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — Frustrated residents complained of food shortages in some neighborhoods of Sierra Leone’s capital on Sunday as the country reached the third and final day of a sweeping, unprecedented lockdown designed to combat the deadly Ebola disease, volunteers said.

While most residents welcomed teams of health care workers and volunteers bearing information about the disease, rumors persisted in pockets of the city that poisoned soap was being distributed, suggesting that public education campaigns had not been entirely successful.

The streets of the capital, Freetown, were again mostly deserted on Sunday in compliance with a government order for the country’s 6 million residents to stay in their homes. Sierra Leone’s government was hoping the lockdown would turn the tide against the disease. There were rumors in Freetown on Sunday that officials would opt to extend the lockdown, but a Health Ministry statement issued Sunday night confirmed it had ended.

Thousands march in Moscow against fighting in Ukraine MOSCOW — Tens of thousands of people marched through central Moscow on Sunday to demonstrate against the fighting in Ukraine and Russia’s alleged complicity in the conflict.

An Associated Press reporter estimated the crowd at about 20,000, although the city police department put the number at about 5,000.

The demonstrators chanted slogans including “No to war” and “The junta is in the Kremlin, not Kiev.” The latter refers to Russia’s contention that the ousting of Ukraine’s former Russia-friendly president was a coup.

The fighting between Ukrainian forces and proRussia separatists in eastern Ukraine that erupted after the ouster has killed more than 3,000 people.

Ukraine and Western countries claim Russia is supplying troops and equipment to the rebels, which Moscow denies.

Police recover rifle from suspected gunman in ambush CANADENSIS, Pa. — Nine days after a gunman went on a deadly ambush at a state police barracks, authorities said Sunday they have recovered one of the weapons he was carrying and believe they are hot on his trail as he travels on foot through rugged forests in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Investigators said they believe the suspect they describe as a self-taught survivalist had been planning a confrontation with law enforcement for months.

State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens revealed a few more details about the manhunt for Eric Frein, saying trackers have discovered items he hid or abandoned in the woods — including an AK-47 assault rifle and ammunition they believe he had been carrying while on the run.

“We are pushing him hard, he is no longer safe, and I am confident that he will be apprehended,” Bivens said.

Authorities did not yet know if the weapon had been used in the ambush, he said. Still, police believe Frein remains dangerous and possibly armed with a .308 rifle with a scope that police say was missing from the family home along with the AK-47.

New danger: Walking while texting WASHINGTON — A 14-yearold boy was injured when he walked off a six-foot-high bridge into a ditch while talking on his phone. A 23-year-old man was hit by a car while walking down the middle of a road talking on his phone.

The dangers of distracted driving are well known and have sparked new laws, but safety experts are increasingly concerned about a more recent trend: distracted walking.

Pedestrians listening to music, texting, talking or otherwise absorbed in their phones are making themselves more vulnerable by tuning out traffic around them, experts say. Many say they think smartphone distractions are at least partly to blame for the number of pedestrian fatalities beginning to rise again in 2010 after years of holding steady or declining slightly.

The number of traffic fatalities overall has been falling nationwide because of safer vehicles, increased seat-belt use and less drunken driving, experts say. But pedestrian deaths began to tick up in 2010. By 2012, pedestrians accounted for 14 percent of U.S. traffic fatalities, up from 11 percent in 2007.

“As we make progress in almost everything else traffic safety-related, the lack of progress in pedestrian safety is concerning,” said Mike Farrell, the council of governments’ bicycle and pedestrian coordinator.

A 2012 study in the journal Injury Prevention found that nearly one-third of pedestrians at 20 high-risk intersections in Seattle were observed listening to music, texting or using a cellphone. Those who texted took almost two seconds, or 18 percent, longer to cross the intersection compared with those who weren’t distracted, the study found. Those who texted also were four times more likely to display at least one “unsafe crossing behavior,” such as ignoring traffic signals or failing to look both ways.

A 2013 Ohio State University study found that the number of injuries treated in 100 emergency rooms nationwide related to pedestrians using cellphones had more than doubled between 2005 and 2010, to more than 1,500. The study found people ages 16 to 25 were most likely to be hit while distracted.

Top general: U.S. needs help from Arab nations

ZAGREB, Croatia — The U.S.-led military campaign plan to retake Iraqi territory held by the Islamic State group calls for attacking the extremists from several directions simultaneously, and its success depends on getting more Arab help, the top American military officer said Sunday.

“We want them to wake up every day realizing that they are being squeezed from multiple directions,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters, referring to the Islamic State group, which also is known by the acronyms ISIL and ISIS. “If we can get ISIL looking in about five different directions, that’s the desired end state,” he added in an interview with reporters traveling with him to Croatia from Lithuania, where he discussed Iraq and other issues with his NATO counterparts.

Dempsey stressed the importance of gaining more Arab participation in the U.S.-led effort, suggesting that without it the military campaign might not move to its next phase. He called wider Arab participation a prerequisite for President Barack Obama’s approval of the military campaign plan. Obama was briefed on the plan last week but has not OK’d it.

In an opinion column published Sunday in the Tampa Bay

Times, Obama wrote, “This is not and will not be America’s fight alone. That’s why we continue to build a broad international coalition.” He said Arab countries have offered to help but he mentioned none by name and did not describe their specific roles.

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, said the administration is pleased with its progress in building a coalition.

“The commitments are coming in every day,” she said on NBC’s Meet the Press. However, she did not name individual Arab countries that have promised to participate in military action in Iraq, saying it was up to them to describe their own roles.

Obama’s signature on the military campaign plan for Iraq and Syria operations would move the effort into a new phase, Dempsey said, enabled by a larger number of coalition aircraft that would allow for a more persistent presence over the battlefields of Iraq and improved prospects for rebuilding key elements of the Iraqi army. Dempsey said last week that only about half of Iraqi army brigades, which originally were trained by the U.S., are suitable partners now for the U.S. On Sunday, he said one of the major problems with the other half is that they have been infiltrated by extremists.

Dempsey focused his comments on military action in Iraq rather than Syria.

Media: ISIS finds support, funds online Continued from Page A-1 Last week, Saudi Arabia’s top council of religious scholars issued a lengthy Arabic statement via the state-run news agency denouncing terrorism and calling on citizens to back efforts to fight extremist groups like the Islamic State and al-Qaida.

Leading Sunni Muslim authorities in Egypt have issued similar governmentbacked statements.

Compare that to the Islamic State group. Its Furqan media arm produces slick videos complete with interviews, graphics and jihadist hymns echoing in the background, with Arabic and English subtitles. It promotes the videos and its glossy monthly magazines on an array of social media, reaching out to people in the Arab world and beyond. Islamic State fighters even tweet live from the battlefield, giving real-time updates and waging theological debates with online detractors.

“They definitely have an electronic army behind them,” said Ray Kafity, vice president of FireEye for the Middle East, Turkey and Africa. The company manufactures IT solutions for defending against cyberthreats.

The Islamic State boasts thousands of foreign fighters, some of whom were first drawn to it in the privacy and security of cyberspace. It also uses social media for fundraising.

Fadi Salem, a Dubai-based researcher on Internet governance in the Arab World, said the immediate response of Middle Eastern governments to the power of social media has been to “control, block and censor as much as possible.”

“Very few governments viewed this as an opportunity rather than a risk,” Salem said.

Egypt shut down access to the Internet during the bloodiest day of the 2011 uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak,

and Syria cut off access in rebellious provinces shortly after the start of the revolt against Bashar Assad later that spring.

Iraq’s government followed suit in June of this year, when the Islamic State group swept across much of the country’s north and west. The government cut off Internet access to several areas overrun by militants, including Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city.

A study by The Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto showed that despite blocking mobile messaging apps and social media platforms, Iraq’s authorities failed to block seven websites affiliated with or supportive of the Islamic State group. New accounts appear almost as quickly as old accounts are reported and taken down.

“It’s hard to wage a war with ideas online,” said Abdulaziz Al-Mulhem, the spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of Information and Culture. “When we talk about monitoring or controlling social media it is like trying to control air, and this of course is hard.”

Facebook says it has 71 million active monthly users in the Middle East, and youth between the ages of 15 and 29 make up around 70 percent of Facebook users in the Arab region, according to a report by the Dubai School of Government.

Facebook’s Elizabeth Linder says Middle Eastern governments are still in the early stages of realizing the full potential of social media. She advises governments on how they can better use Facebook for diplomacy.

“The most important thing is to be there,” she told The Associated Press.

“And that’s something that I really do encourage governments to do, not to leave the space but to enter the space.”

The U.S., which has long struggled to craft an effective public diplomacy in the region, has taken note. The U.S. State

Department launched a “Think Again Turn Away” campaign on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, with Arabic and English videos similar in style to those of al-Qaida and the Islamic State group.

One video is titled “Airing al-Qaida’s dirty laundry” and another shows images of children allegedly killed by these groups.

But none have gained the traction of the Islamic State’s videos, which pair brutal images of mass shootings and beheadings — aimed at striking fear in the hearts of its enemies — with heroic portrayals of its fighters as models of bravery and piety.

The message to alienated young men in the region and abroad is that they too can wage holy war, exact revenge on those seen as oppressing Muslims and help build a just society based on divine law.

The videos that have gained the most attention in the West are those that show a masked man beheading two American journalists and a British aid worker in the desert. But others document life in militant-held Raqqa in eastern Syria, and cheerfully invite potential recruits.

“We want to be your brothers and for you to be our brothers,” an Islamic State fighter tells Syrian men and children in a video titled “The best ummah” — or Muslim society.

The Arabic video with English subtitles depicts a community where pious men police the streets, eliminating drugs and alcohol and making sure everyone prays together at the mosque. The militants distribute food to those in need and ensure fair prices in the local markets.

For many, it’s a compelling vision of a better world, one in stark contrast with most states in the region, in which aging autocrats preside over governments seen as irredeemably corrupt and stagnant.

Combatting that vision will require more than simply silencing its advocates, experts say.

Boyd: Skandera has said department will not delay Continued from Page A-1 But Boyd, who leads one of the state’s largest school districts with more 14,000 students, is believed to be the first sitting superintendent to publicly challenge the evaluations — though over the past few months a few other superintendents have raised questions to the Legislative Education Study Committee about problems with collecting and measuring data.

Boyd questions whether the state’s data systems are capable of providing valid calculations at this time. And he wants to use more updated data used in evaluating teacher performance.

Boyd’s request is sure to meet resistance from the state’s Public Education Department. Larry Behrens, a spokesman for the department, said in an email Sunday that because teachers are the most important factor in improving student achievement, “We can’t delay our students a quality education for a year. … We are committed to moving forward with teacher evaluations.”

Boyd said the fact that the test score data is at least a year old and goes back three years does not account for how teachers are doing in their current year.

He said it is tough for principals to put teachers on professional development plans based on information that renders the evaluations “useless.”

For instance, updated Standard Based Assessment data for school districts is not released until midsummer, so evaluations are based on data from the previous three years. Boyd said one possible approach is to evaluate teachers using that updated data at the beginning of the school year, which will help principals lay out goals for improvement in the coming year.

But given that teacher and principal contracts are renewed by July 1 every year, that approach would require cooperation from teachers unions and might pose other challenges, he said.

This year, at least six of the district’s teachers were rated ineffective even though their principals found them effective during classroom observations.

Boyd said it is also possible that a reverse situation may apply.

Ellen Bernstein, president of the Albuquerque Teachers Federation, said by phone Sunday that while she agrees the data analysis system is flawed, she disagrees with Boyd when it comes to using test results at all. She said new research shows that teacher effectiveness can not be tied to test scores.

“What Boyd is saying is we need to keep doing this because this is obviously the way we need to judge teachers’ effectiveness; we just need better metrics,” she said. “I say that is not true. The metrics are bad.”

In New Mexico, 50 percent of a teacher’s evaluation is based on student growth achievement measures.

Speaking by phone Sunday, TJ Parks, superintendent of the Hobbs school district and president of the New Mexico School Superintendents Association, said some superintendents have voiced concerns to him about the validity of the teacher evaluation data.

“Whether that’s our problem or the [Public Education Department’s] problem, I don’t know,” Parks said. “The bottom line is we need to get it right because whenever you talk about evaluations of staff you need to make sure that your numbers are accurate.”

He said his district is still working to validate revised teacher evaluation figures from the Public Education Department.

The U.S. Department of Education recently gave states the right to ask for a one-year delay in using test scores as part of teacher evaluations.

But last week, Education Week quoted New Mexico’s Education Secretarydesignate Hanna Skandera as saying the state will not delay because it would break the state’s commitment in its request for a waiver of No Child Left Behind guidelines. Those initial waiver requirements include assurances from states that they will create teacher evaluation plans heavily based on student test scores.

According to the Education Week article, 17 states said they likely would ask for the oneyear delay offered by the U.S. Department of Education. At least 11 states, including New Mexico, said they would not.

About 35 states and the District of Columbia utilize student test score data in their teacher evaluation systems.

Many New Mexico educators have criticized the state’s new teacher evaluation system, saying it is unfair to use test score results for 50 percent of a teacher’s grade. Some have said d the complex measurements used within the evaluation are confus-ing.

The Public Education Department counters that the new evaluation system is not only an improvement over the previous three-tier licensure system — in which teachers were simply rated as to whether they met competency standards or not — but gives a clearer picture of how teachers are impacting student achievement. And by requiring two or three lengthy classroom observations, it also forces principals to watch teachers at work and give more direct feedback.

Many educators have praised the observation portion of the review, although some have asked that it be weighed more heavily than test scores.

Parks said he would like the observations to account for 50 percent of the overall evaluation.

In addition, a mix-up in collecting and analyzing data — in part due to districts initially supplying inaccurate, incomplete or late data, according to the Public Education Department — caused problems this year. In May, the state said 76 percent of teachers were rated “effective” or better in the five-point rating system. After further review of more data, the state said that number was closer to 73 percent.

Excerpts from a teacher evaluation completed in May 2014.

A HISTORY OF TEACHER EVALUATIONS IN N.M. 2003: The Legislature approves a three-tier licensure system with an evaluation process that deems teachers as either meeting or not meeting competency levels. Over time, the Public Education Department found that about 99 percent of teachers were meeting competency levels.

2011: The Legislature considers — but does not approve — implementation of a new system for the evaluation of teachers and principals.

April 2012: Gov. Susana Martinez uses her executive power to direct the Public Education Department to create a new teacher and principal evaluation system. That plan, which rates teachers as exemplary, highly effective, effective, minimally effective or ineffective and heavily relies on student test score data, was adopted in August 2012 with implementation slated for the 2013-14 school year.

2012-13: Statewide, 68 schools (none in the Santa Fe district) volunteer to take part in a one-year evaluation pilot program to work out kinks.

In Santa Fe, the Public Education Department said just under 50 percent of Santa Fe Public Schools’ teachers rated “effective” or better. But the district, arguing that the department was wrong, spent additional time reviewing those figures and calculated that number as closer to 67 percent — a figure it stands by after presenting a follow-up report to its school board last Tuesday.

In May of this year, the Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis journal of the American Educational Research Association published a report that said there is little or no connection between good teachers and the evaluations they receive based on student test score

results. And W. James Popham, a professor emeritus at the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, just published an article in September’s Phi Delta Kappan magazine saying the same thing.

In 2012, the U.S. Department of Education granted New Mexico a waiver from No Child Left Behind mandates, allowing the state to leverage about $10 million in federal funding if it agreed to the terms of the waiver — including creating a teacher evaluation system that holds educators accountable for achievement.

Summer 2013: Districts either adopt the state’s evaluation process or submit slight variations on it with limited flexibility. Santa Fe Public Schools, one of the districts to submit its own plan, still must adhere to the requirement that 50 percent of an evaluation be based on student test scores.

2013-14: The new plan rolls out for the roughly 21,000 public school teachers in the state.

May 2014: The Public Education Department reports that 76 percent of the state’s teachers have been rated effective or better.

August 2014: The Public Education Department revises those initial figures, citing incomplete data, and reports that 73 percent of the state’s teachers have been rated effective or better.

If turn to Louisiana if there’s a none exceeds 50 percent, the top runoff.

By Charles Babington The Associated Press

Waiting for a make-or-break Louisiana outcome would deeply affect the postelection congressional session scheduled to start Nov. 12. Congress must appropriate money in November to keep the government running, and it may revisit the president’s continued authority to arm Syrian rebels, among other things.

If Republicans think they will control the Senate in the new Congress set to convene Jan. 3, they may want to limit action in the Democratic-controlled lameduck session. It’s almost certain that Republicans will retain their House majority.

Georgia’s Senate race could have an even messier outcome than Louisiana’s. GOP nominee David Perdue is thought to have a modest lead over Democrat Michelle Nunn in the race to succeed retiring Republican Saxby Chambliss.

But there’s a Libertarian on the ballot, who might win enough votes to keep Perdue and Nunn from reaching 50 percent. That would trigger a runoff Jan. 6,

three days after the new Congress’ scheduled start.

It requires a lot of “ifs.” But a scenario in which Republicans entered the new Congress with a 50-49 Senate majority, while awaiting a Georgia outcome that could soon return them to the minority, would further roil an already partisan government.

A recount of a Georgia runoff, should there be one, would extend confusion even deeper. A candidate may request a recount if the margin is less than 1 percent of all votes cast.

Alaska presents another possibility for an inconclusive Nov. 4 election. Alaska typically counts only about two-thirds of its total vote on election night. State law postpones counting most absentee and questioned ballots until a week after the election.

Twice in the past six years, a Senate winner in Alaska wasn’t declared until at least two weeks after Election Day, and this year’s race between first-term Democratic Sen. Mark Begich and Republican Dan Sullivan is tight.

Feds issue lethal weapons to censured agencies

By Tami Abdollah and Eric Tucker The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A Pentagon program that distributes military surplus gear to local law enforcement allows even departments that the Justice Department has censured for civil rights violations to get lethal weaponry.

That lack of communication between two Cabinet agencies adds to questions about a program under review in the aftermath of the militarized police response to protesters in Ferguson, Mo. The Pentagon, which provides the free surplus military equipment, says its consultation with the Justice Department will be looked at as the government reviews how to prevent highpowered weaponry from flowing to the untrustworthy.

The Justice Department has opened civil rights investigations into the practices of some 20 police departments in the past five years, with the Ferguson force the latest. The investigations sometimes end in negotiated settlements known as consent decrees that mandate reforms. Yet being flagged as problematic by Washington does not bar a police department from participating in the program.

“Given the fact that they’re under a consent decree it would make sense that the Department of Defense and Department of Justice coordinate on any such requests, [but] that is currently not the state,” said Jim Bueermann, who heads the nonprofit Police Foundation.

At a Senate hearing this month, Alan Estevez, a Defense Department official who oversees the program, acknowledged that consultation with the Justice Department was “lacking” and he said that would be reviewed.

Under questioning, he acknowledged the Pentagon does not take federal civil rights investiga-

tions into account in shipping out weapons, but that could change.

“We need to do a better job there,” he said.

The Los Angeles Police Department received multiple shipments, totaling some 1,680 M16 assault rifles, under the Pentagon program, even while the department was under the watch of a federal monitor and had been accused of poor practices, records show. The LAPD entered into a court-supervised agreement with the Justice Department in 2001 after investigators accused it of a pattern of excessive force, false arrests and unreasonable searches.

In Warren, Ohio, the police department in 2012 reached a settlement with the Justice Department to resolve an investigation into a pattern of excessive force and illegal searches.

The department, which expects to have nearly 70 officers soon, recently ordered 30 M16 rifles as part of the program, Police Chief Eric Merkel said.

“We don’t have an issue here with brandishing firearms and shooting people. That’s not the reason the Department of Justice came in here to begin with,” Merkel said. “I think the public reasonably expects their police department to be armed with a level that at least matches what they might be coming up against.”

found a pattern of excessive force over the prior decade. Several years later, when the department remained under the oversight of an independent monitor, it received 500 assault rifles from the military, a spokeswoman said.

The Pentagon program was authorized by Congress in 1990 to help fight drugs, with terrorism-fighting a more recent objective.

The Defense Department views the program, which has handed out more than $5.1 billion in military property since

it started, primarily as a way to get rid of equipment it no longer needs. Law enforcement officials say the military gear can save lives and keep officers safe in dangerous situations such as standoffs with heavily armed suspects and natural disasters.

But images of police responding to Ferguson protesters with tear gas, armored vehicles and in riot gear raised new scrutiny about who was getting the equipment and whether law enforcement agencies were receiving proper training.

Polly Bergen, versatile actress, singer, businesswoman dies at 84 NEW YORK — Emmy-winning actress and singer Polly Bergen, who played the terrorized wife in the original Cape Fear and the first woman president in Kisses for My President, has died. She was 84.

Publicist Judy Katz says Bergen died Saturday at her home in Southbury, Conn., surrounded by family and close friends. She had battled emphysema and other ailments in the late 1990s, a result of 50 years of smoking.

A brunette beauty with a warm, sultry singing voice, Bergen made albums, played leading roles in films, stage musicals and TV dramas. She also hosted her own variety series, was a popular game show panelist, and founded a thriving beauty products company.

More recently, she played Felicity Huffman’s mother on Desperate Housewives and the past Polly Bergen mistress of Tony Soprano’s late father on The Sopranos.

Bergen was plagued by physical problems, including emphysema, that kept her from singing for more than 30 years. In 2000, she began a cautious return. When she appeared in New York at Feinstein’s at the Regency, Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote that her performance “was, in a word, great.”

Bergen won an Emmy in 1958 portraying the tragic singer Helen Morgan on the famed anthology series Playhouse 90. She was nominated for another Emmy in 1989 for best supporting actress in a miniseries or special for War and Remembrance.

Bergen is survived by two daughters, Kathy Lander and Pamela Fields; a son, Peter Fields; and three grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, her family is asking that donations be made to Planned Parenthood, said her publicist, Katz.

LOS ANGELES — Virtual reality is virtually here — although its first incarnation will come with short battery life, images that do not quite track eye movements and a tendency to induce motion sickness.

In the next few months, Samsung intends to release the Gear VR, a headset that combines software from the virtual-reality pioneer Oculus VR and Samsung’s coming Galaxy Note 4 smartphone to create a portable virtual reality experience.

And within the next year or so, personal computer users will probably be able to buy a more powerful headset from Oculus itself that will allow them to plunge more deeply into three-dimensional virtual worlds, from outer space to the Egyptian pyramids.

Oculus showed off the latest versions of both devices over the weekend to developers in Los Angeles. Two things were clear: Serious technical challenges remain, but Oculus is closer than any other company to creating a product consumers can use to explore computer-generated environments that seem so real that you almost forget they are fake.

Trying out Crescent Bay, the new prototype of the Oculus PC headset announced on Saturday, I was struck by how menacing it felt to be charged by a full-size Tyrannosaurus rex and how my stomach flipped as I peered over the edge of a city skyscraper. Even the Samsung headset, which shows images in lower fidelity because of cellphones’ limitations, transported me briefly to faraway places, like Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.

“When it’s good enough, suddenly the back of your brain believes you’re there,” Brendan Iribe, chief executive of Oculus, said in his keynote speech to the hundreds of gathered developers.

Virtual reality has certainly become real enough to attract the attention of the big boys.

Facebook bought Oculus in a $2 billion deal that closed in July. Samsung is putting its reputation and technical prowess behind the Gear VR, which will cost more than $1,000 for the phone and headset before carrier subsidies.

Sony, maker of the PlayStation game consoles, is working on a VR system, Project Morpheus, which it demonstrated at the Tokyo Game Show last week. Nvidia, a leading maker of graphics chips for personal computers, announced last week that its newest products would include technology to improve the speed and quality of virtual reality.

But virtual reality is not much of a business yet. It is still wide open to hackers, hobbyists and tiny companies that raise money through Kickstarter projects, not pitches to venture capitalists.

Their inspiration is Palmer Luckey, Oculus’ founder, who taped and glued together the first prototype in 2011 in his

garage, raised the first money for his Rift headset on Kickstarter, sold Oculus to Facebook and turned 22 on Friday.

“For a lot of people, this is their lifelong dream,” Luckey said in an interview. “They’ve been watching and reading science fiction novels their whole lives, and this is the technology to make some of those fantasies real. This isn’t the most profitable thing they could be working on, but the most exciting thing they could be working on.”

Karl Krantz, founder and organizer of Silicon Valley Virtual Reality, which hosts monthly gatherings of enthusiasts, compared the industry to the early days of personal computers, when tinkerers like the Apple co-founders Steven P. Jobs and Steve Wozniak met with like-minded souls in the Homebrew Computer Club. “Computers had existed a long time, but they were at big institutions and were not affordable to people who were just passionate about it,” he said. “VR has hit that inflection point where enthusiasts can hack it.”

That enthusiasm was palpable at the Oculus conference. Developers set up laptops and headsets at the Loews Hollywood Hotel to show off buggy demos of their games and software. They traded tips on solving common problems like jittery images and making sure that what was on screen tracked a person’s eyes.

Mike McArdle, a technology tutor and trainer in North Carolina, was one of the amateur developers soaking it all in.

He has been working on a volcano simulation that he hopes to use to teach elementary school students about science and math. “It’s never been easier to build V.R. games than it is now,” he said.

Despite the excitement, there is acknowledgment of the many problems yet to be solved.

John Carmack, a famed game developer who is now Oculus’s chief technology officer, went on stage and rattled off problems with the Samsung Gear VR, his pet project for the last year. It doesn’t track eye movements, which can cause the image to lag and nauseate the user. The display flickers. It’s built on Google’s Android smartphone platform, which slows graphics.

And oh, yeah, an intense virtual reality video game can draw so much power that the phone will overheat in 10 minutes.

Oculus is also trying to address several other problems. “Inevitably, you want to see your hands, and they’re not there now,” Carmack said.

Tracking hand movements and bringing them into the virtual picture could help people feel less disoriented and would provide a more intuitive way to control the interface than the multibutton game pads that developers use now.

Atman Binstock, chief architect of Oculus, quite succinctly summed up the biggest challenges facing Oculus and virtual reality in general: “actually delivering compelling experiences and not making people sick.”

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Almirantes y generales en guerra contra la gordura CHICAGO uatro años después de que un grupo de más de 450 militares retirados diera a conocer un informe llamado “Demasiado gordos para luchar,” que describe las cinturas cada vez más anchas de nuestras fuerzas armadas, los almirantes y generales están librando esta guerra de nuevo. Su grupo, llamado “Misión: Preparación,” ha vuelto a publicar un informe advirtiendo que “La retirada no es una opción.”

Esta última iniciativa viene después de “Aún demasiado gordos para luchar” un informe de hace dos años preparado por el mismo grupo. El nuevo informe incluye datos, estado por estado, del Departamento de Defensa, que muestran que un promedio del 70 por ciento de los adultos, Esther en toda la nación, probablemente Cepeda no sería admitido en las fuerzas Comentario armadas por una u otra causa.

Los que se destacan son Mississippi y el Distrito de Columbia, por ejemplo, con un 78 por ciento de personas que no cumplirían los requisitos. ¿Y la principal razón médica para estas inhabilitaciones? La obesidad. Casi un cuarto de los adultos jóvenes de entre 17 y 24 años es demasiado pesado para servir en las fuerzas armadas. Los otros motivos importantes son deficiencias en educación y antecedentes penales.

Múltiples estudios muestran los efectos positivos de la promulgación de la Ley Niños Saludables y sin Hambre, de 2010, con la implantación de almuerzos escolares más sanos en un 90 por ciento de los distritos escolares de toda la nación. Pero los miembros de “Misión: Preparación” están circulando en Capitol Hill con su nuevo informe en mano, para persuadir a los legisladores de que no aflojen las reglamentaciones sobre una nutrición saludable.

El llamado a las armas se debe a una propuesta de ley de asignaciones de Agricultura, en la Cámara, para el año fiscal 2015, que establecería un proceso para no aplicar los estándares nutritivos en cualquier escuela que haya experimentado una pérdida de ingresos en un período de seis meses. Una medida tan abarcadora descarrilaría el proceso de implementación en un momento en que es esencial mantener el curso.

Parece existir una conexión entre las normas y los datos. Aunque las cifras de jóvenes que no son elegibles es elevada en todo el país, es probable que no sea mera coincidencia que sean tan pronunciadas en Alabama y en Dakota del Norte — con un 75 y 73 por ciento, respectivamente, de individuos no-elegibles. Son dos estados representados por legisladores que desean debilitar las normas de nutrición de las escuelas.

“Nos está yendo tan bien con [nuestra iniciativa] de proveer de alimentos más nutritivos a nuestros jóvenes que está claro que debemos esforzarnos para que todos los distritos escolares se adhieran a esas normas,” expresó el Almirante Retirado, Casey Coane, voluntario de “Misión: Preparación.” “Obviamente, hablamos mucho de preparación militar pero nos concentramos en jóvenes educados, saludables y que respeten la ley, estén o no usando un uniforme y lo que comen en la escuela es una gran parte de eso.”

Coane me dijo que mejorar una fuente tan grande de formación de hábitos alimenticios en última instancia tendrá un fuerte impacto no sólo en la preparación para las fuerzas armadas, sino en lo que éstas nos cuestan.

Según “Misión: Preparación,” las tasas de obesidad en el personal de servicio activo se elevaron un 61 por ciento entre 2002 y 2011 y, en la actualidad, el 12 por ciento de los miembros en servicio activo son obesos. Eso causa importantes gastos, como los 1.500 millones de dólares que se calculan como el costo de tratar trastornos de salud relacionados con la obesidad y de reemplazar a los que se da de baja porque no están en condiciones de servir.

Además, hay dólares que se gastan en asistencia médica para soldados que aún no son obesos, pero que sí tienen sobrepeso y cuyas libras extras causan que tengan 1.5 veces más probabilidades de ser lesionados que sus homólogos que están en mejor forma — y mucho más frecuentemente con fracturas por sobrecarga y esguinces que heridas de combate.

Pero, ¿importa esto realmente en nuestra época de aviones teledirigidos y guerra digital?

“Los aviones teledirigidos y todo tipo de cosas atractivas como la guerra cibernética y la inteligencia militar, forman parte creciente de nuestros asuntos militares,” expresó Coane. “Pero la gran mayoría sirve en funciones que requieren una gran cantidad de resistencia física. No se puede jalar 9 Gs, salir disparado por estrechos pasadizos de un portaaviones o llevar una mochila de 150 libras si uno tiene sobrepeso.”

Las fuerzas armadas también están haciendo su parte. Coane dijo que las normas nutricionales de los alimentos preparados en las bases se mejoran constantemente y se ponen a prueba programas que promueven hábitos de alimentación saludables para los efectivos y sus familias. (En un mundo ideal, también se reconsideraría la presencia de Dunkin’ Donuts, McDonald’s, Burger King y otros establecimientos de comida al paso, que se acogieron en instalaciones militares para atraer a los jóvenes reclutas y las familias de los alistados.)

Ya si queremos que los niños de nuestras escuelas se incorporen a las fuerzas armadas como si no, es necesario que se alimenten en forma saludable para estar en buena forma y poder atacar sus estudios.

Esperemos que nadie se interponga en su camino.

Fonda Osborn, al frente a la derecha, presidente del Distrito de Nuevo México 1199 del Sindicato Nacional de Empleados de Hospitales y Personal de Salud, habla durante una conferencia de prensa el miércoles frente al hospital Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO/THE NEW MEXICAN

Sindicato del hospital promete más campañas Por Patrick Malone El Nuevo Mexicano

nfermeras sindicalizadas y personal de apoyo del hospital Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center se manifestaron la semana pasada afuera del hospital y planean lanzar una campaña más agresiva esta semana con el fin de obligar a la administración a regresar a las negociaciones.

Miembros del sindicato planean patrullar las entradas de los estacionamientos del hospital durante horas de trabajo y distribuir panfletos a pacientes entrando al plantel del hospital, dio a conocer el miércoles la presidenta del sindicato Fonda Osborn. Manifestantes del Distrito de Nuevo México 1199 del Sindicato Nacional de Empleados de Hospitales y Personal de Salud planean animar a los pacientes a preguntarles a las enfermeras cuántos pacientes tienen a su cargo a la vez y además contactar a la administración del hospital para expresar apoyo para el sindicato, dijo Osborn.

Más de 3,000 personas han firmado una petición informal en línea exhortando al hospital a tomar en consideración las exigencias del sindicato con respeto al número de personal de salud. Las negociaciones entre la administración del hospital y el sindicato se paralizaron sobre la disputa del personal y hospital ha declarado que el asunto está estancado. El contrato más recién entre el sindicato y el hospital se venció el 31 de julio.

Dijo Osborn que la petición en línea y las llamadas más y más frecuentes a la sede el sindicato de pacientes rechazando utilizar el hospital, sugiere que el sindicato cuenta con el apoyo de la comunidad.

“Hay mucha gente diciendo que no acudirán al hospital para su cuidado de salud por el momento,” comenta. “Y es por eso que creemos que hemos interrumpido el negocio en el hospital.” En vez de amenazar con la posibilidad de huelga, dice Osborn, el sindicato eligió luchar contra el hospital por el lado de la opinión pública. Ella dice que en recientes juntas del sindicato discutían la posibilidad de huelga, pero los miembros sienten inquietud sobre los

E

posibles problemas prácticos que un paro de trabajo podría causar. El sindicato quiere utilizar todas las otras opciones antes de tomar un paso tan drástico, exclamó Osborn.

El hospital se mantiene en su postura de negar el aumento de personal o definir carga de trabajo. Sus líderes arguyen que los resultados de sus pacientes han mejorado y que más personal no quiere decir que habrá mejores resultados.

“Nuestros indicadores de calidad han demostrado progreso durante los últimos cinco años,” dijo el vocero del hospital Arturo Delgado, “y estamos trabajando duro para mejorar la experiencia del paciente en todos los niveles.”

Desde que se venció el contrato laboral entre el hospital y el sindicato, los equipos negociadores se han reunido en persona sólo una vez. La comunicación ha sido primordialmente a través de un mediador federal y el correo electrónico. El sindicato quiere seguir negociando y sus líderes esperan que un más manifestaciones aumentará la presión de la comunidad hacia el hospital para que regresen a la mesa de negociaciones. “¿Cómo vamos a resolver el problema si ellos no quieren dirigirnos la palabra?,” dijo Osborn.

Líderes del hospital se preguntan si más sesiones de negociaciones pueden resolver las diferencias sobre el personal. “[El hospital] cree que son innecesarias más reuniones en persona. … No hemos visto ninguna señal que nos haga creer que más sesiones en persona llevarán a una resolución con respeto al personal,” escribió Pearl Mohnkern, vice-presidente de recursos humanos en una carta dirigida al sindicato el lunes.

El miércoles pasado el Alcalde de Santa Fe, Javier Gonzales, invitó a representantes del sindicato y el hospital a que se reunieran el próximo martes en su oficina. “Estos dos grupos no están progresando,” expresó Gonzales en una declaración escrita. “Pero no llegaremos a ningún lado si dejamos que se cese la comunicación.”

na mañana Grama Cuca was standing at the aguamanil, looking into the espejo and trying to smooth down su cabello.

Canutito came over para donde grama estaba leaning over that washbasin and mirándose en el mirror. He noticed que el cabello de grama estaba sticking up on the back de su cabeza.

“Uh, grama,” he began, “It looks like you had a fight with the peine.”

“Ay, m’hijo,” grama replied, “You’re right; me peleé con el comb. I can’t Larry Torres hacer nada Growing up con mi cabello.

Spanglish Sometimes me dan ganas to just cut it all off!”

“How come you just don’t hacerse un ‘Toni Home Permanent’, grama?”

Canutito asked her.

“Ay m’hijo,” grama sighed. “Esos ‘Toni Home Permanents’ no trabajan.

They just leave your cabello todo seco y lifeless. I was remembering cuando Mana Fífula se hizo un ‘Toni Home Permanent’ y cuando she went out en público, it looked como que tenía un brillo pad stuck en la cabeza. I felt like agarrándola by the scruff of her neck and dunking her head adentro del sink to scrub los trastes con ella.”

Canutito snickered con esa imagen.

“Entonces why don’t you try uno de esos ‘Milk-Wave Lilts’ que siempre están haciendo advertise en el TV?” he asked grama.

“I tried un ‘Milk-wave Lilt’ porque I used to believe all of those mentiras que los commercials dicen en el TV. The only cosa que pasó es que I ended up wasting toda la leche en la refrigerator y en los días cuando it was too hot, your grampo used to say que mi cabello smelled como leche chocoque or cheese gone bad.”

“Entonces la única cosa que yo puede hacer suggest to you,” said Canutito, “is to go pa’l beauty shop.”

“Falta que you have a point there,” Grama Cuca agreed. “I understand que la lady over at Ninfa’s Beauty Saloon, is muy buena con hair que está todo unmanageable.”

En ese momento Grampo Caralampio came back into the house from slopping los marranos down by the pigpen. Hizo catch the tail end de la conversación que grama y Canutito were having.

“Todas la mujeres say que la Ninfa puede hacer wonders con unruly hair. I like to look at Ninfa porque every time que I see her en público she has cabello de colores diferentes. Sometimes su cabello está red, a veces, blonde, a veces, negro, a veces hasta blue. I’m just waiting por el día cuando she is going to come out con el cabello verde.”

“Well I don’t intend de colorearme el cabello,” Grama Cuca replied. “Mi cabello es del color ‘Sun-Lit Brown’ y yo hago intend to keep it de ese color. I just want Ninfa que me dé un little trim para poder comb it.”

The following day Grampo Caralampio took Grama Cuca en la troca over para el beauty shop de la Ninfa.

Grama sat down en la silla para hacer wait her turn porque el beauty shop estaba bien lleno de customers.

While she was waiting, pepenó un magazine que tenía pictures de la Grace Kelly in it.

She decided then and there que she wanted Ninfa to trim su cabello para parecerse ella como la Grace Kelly en los retratos.

Finally, cuando llegó su turn, grama sat en la silla de la beautician and showed el retrato de la Grace Kelly to Ninfa, telling her que she wanted to look como ella.

Ninfa grabbed las scissors and started to work en el cabello de Grama Cuca.

Con las tijeras, she kept trimming it and trimming it hasta que no podía trimearlo más. Cuando grama finally came out of the beauty shop grampo tried not to mirarla porque she looked muy ridícula all pelada, even though que ella pensaba que estaba muy stylish.

When she got home, Canutito remarcó que grama looked muy nice pero cuando Grama Cuca was in the next room he whispered to grampo que grama looked como una gallina desplumada.

Grampo nodded porque hacía agree and he grabbed su olla and went outside to feed las gallinas outside porque at least they had feathers …

12 signs of schools that stand out

the Dais Let’s all focus on what we can do better

Viewpoints on education

F

ourteen years ago, I wrote a Washington Post Magazine piece about a young couple seeking a school for their daughter, including 12 things to look for in a good school. The article survives online, and parents still ask if I would change those recommendations.

I would, a bit. Here is the original list, with my in Jay Mathews updates italics: The Washington 1. A good Post principal.

Spend at least 30 minutes with the principal. Five or more years’ experience at the school is a good sign. If the school has had more than two principals in the past five years, that’s a bad sign. Be particularly cautious if the principal doesn’t have 30 minutes to see you. I stand by this and never had principals complain they couldn’t handle it.

2. What it feels like. Don’t discount the mood and the atmosphere. Are the walls gaily decorated? Are the teachers friendly? Do the children seem happy? Yes. 3. Active parents. Never put your child in a school without speaking to at least two parents already there, including at least one PTA officer. If you can’t find such a person, or if there’s no active PTA or equivalent organization, beware.

Still true.

4. Good teachers. If average scores are in the 70th percentile, or are rising year to year, that’s a good sign. But more important is the quality of the teachers your child will likely get. Ask experienced parents about them. Fourteen years of the most intense focus on test scores in U.S. history have taught me to distrust the results. Some schools with great scores are not so good, and vice versa. Let parents be your guide.

5. Long-term superintendent.

Most urban systems average little more than three years per superintendent and yet have many good schools. But a suburban system with rapid superintendent turnover is less common and a matter for concern. If the principal impresses you, don’t worry about the superintendent.

6. A well-stocked and wellused library. Are there enough books and computer terminals? And how many students are using them?

A library full of kids is a sign of health. This will always be true.

7. Using every minute. Are there before-school classes for students with special needs? Is there tutoring available at lunch or after school? Are there Saturday sessions?

An active summer school? I would put more emphasis now on tutoring, unless of course you can do that yourself.

8. High expectations. Are there accelerated classes? Gifted- student services? Are these available for all students who want them, not just for those who have high grades?

Look for signs of enrichment outside the classroom — student musicals, publications and athletic contests. I no longer think gifted services are important so long as you are sure your child will be challenged.

9. Connections to adults.

Some schools have set up systems to ensure that at least one school employee — a teacher, a counselor, an aide, a coach — knows each child and his or her family well. Such schools are rare gems. Still correct.

10. Safety. This is less likely to be a problem than the headlines would suggest. If you are comfortable living in your community, then the neighborhood school almost certainly will be safe enough for you. If you are looking at a school far from home, talk to parents who send their children to that school.

Yes. 11. Challenges ahead. Does the high school your child is headed for have Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Advanced International Certificate of Education courses? Does it provide dual enrollment in local college courses?

Are such programs open to any student who wants them? This remains very important.

12. Listen to your heart. The school may pass all these tests, and yet you’re still not sure. If there’s another school you like better, even if it doesn’t look as good on paper, go there. Still true.

Parents play key role in special education It’s important to learn rights and get involved, district leaders say

SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS IN SANTA FE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

By Andy Winnegar For The New Mexican

Numbers based on end-of-year data compiled in June

he new director of special education for Santa Fe Public Schools knows the system is confusing. But there is one message she wants to send to parents: Learn your rights and get involved.

“As a parent, I have had similar feelings — I understand,” said Sherryll Kraizer, special education director for the district. “When you or your child’s school suspects that your child has some exceptionality, you find yourself in a process you don’t understand.

“Parents need to know at the beginning. They have a right to know and understand what is going on every step of the way. They are the parent and are in charge of their child’s education,” she said.

More than 2,500 students in the Santa Fe district qualify for special education and related services.

These services must be at no cost to parents, in conformity with an individualized education program, or IEP, which is developed by the special education staff with family input.

In New Mexico, developmental delay is considered a disability under special education for children ages 3 to 9. Gifted children under the state’s criteria are also eligible for special education services, along with the 13 categories recognized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: autism, deafness, deaf-blindness, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, multiple disability, orthopedic impairment, other health impairment, serious emotional disturbance, specific learning disability that includes dyslexia, speech language impairment, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment and blindness.

Jeff Abbott is the parent liaison and education coordinator for Santa Fe Public School’s special education department, and it is his job to organize regular support groups for parents and be an advocate at individualized education program meetings, if necessary.

“For me, coming to work with schools, and as a parent of a child with multiple disabilities, I learned that besides going to IEP meetings, there is a big role for the parents to play,” Abbott said. “We are looking to the parents to provide a measure of accountability and quality control in the IEP process. Teachers and schools will change each year, but parents are a constant. Parents knowing their rights safeguard the process.”

“One of my mandates is to improve the quality of the IEP,” Kraizer said. “To do that, you have to write a goal that is measurable. Next, you have to monitor how the student is doing and if the instruction you are providing is working or not based on that data.”

“I would even go a step further,” Abbott said.

“With our family, for example, texting the teacher works for us to get updated. Parents and teachers need to communicate outside of the classroom.

There are log books that go home on a regular basis, four progress reports a year and regular grade reports. PowerSchool is available online at

the Santa Fe Public Schools’ website for additional communication. Keeping tabs on the social emotional well-being of students is also a part of special education. If a student’s not feeling good, it impacts their learning.”

“Another important thing is that your student has a right to be educated in the Least Restrictive Environment,” Kraizer said.

The Least Restrictive Environment, or LRE, means that, to the maximum extent appropriate, school districts must educate students with disabilities in the regular classroom with appropriate aids and supports.

If the district plans a change of placement for a student to a more restrictive environment, an IEP meeting is held to discuss the reasons why the district is proposing the change. The parent always has the right to disagree with a proposed placement.

“The role that I have to play is trying to explain terminology such as LRE to parents. They are working; they have a lot going on and may not have the time, yet they want and need to understand how to best assist their child. This can be challenging,” Abbott said.

ike most principals and heads of school, my roots are in teaching and coaching — and for me and my wife, Story, in running a dormitory at boarding schools, first in Connecticut (six years) and then in Vermont (seven years). All of which means, when you add MY VIEW our three daughters, we’ve been living with teenagers for 25 years.

JIM As a head of school, I try to LEONARD stay tapped into the passions that first drew me into teaching: a love of literature, passion for the well-crafted written word, a desire to help shape the arc of young lives, and an abiding belief that athletics (or drama or chess club or speech and debate) shape character in lasting ways. And I’m lucky, let’s be honest. As a school principal in my 16th year at Santa Fe Prep, I am able to teach a senior English elective, help coach the boys’ varsity soccer team, mentor eight advisees in the high school, and have at least a passing acquaintance — and sometimes much more — with everyone in the school.

This was not my own experience in high school, where I was one of 500 students in my grade in a public school in Connecticut where my father taught English. I cannot recall the name of my high school principal, and I am sure I never actually spoke with him on campus. I was fortunate to have a good classroom education and committed teachers and a soccer coach invested in my future.

In education, however, size and scale are often critical. Ted Sizer, former dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, said students need to understand two things to be successful, and here I paraphrase: They want to be known, and they want to know where they are going.

Both goals, laudable as they are, have become increasingly difficult in an age of technological “distraction” — and not just for teenagers, but for us teachers and parents, as well.

So let’s slow it all down and work hard to know one another. Cultivate curiosity, relational skills across a broad spectrum and capacities for learning in an ever-evolving world. Northwestern University in Chicago initiated campuswide conversations about “big questions” that have no easy answer but strike at the essence of how we create community in schools. “Where do you feel at home? For what are you thankful? Whom are we responsible for?” Everyone has access to these questions, requiring not expertise but the ability to articulate lived experience and aspiration. Imagine the dinner table conversations that could unfold if we asked such questions.

On the signboard at Prep over the first weeks of school, we’ve posted one of these big questions: “What will you do better this year?”

It’s a new school year, a gift. Even for those adults out of the school cycle for years, September is a fresh start. Let’s commit ourselves, the whole community of Santa Fe. “What will you do better?”

Jim Leonard is the head of school at Santa Fe Prep.

Know the facts about Common Core standards

I

t is too bad the establishment press did not report the undemocratic nature of the Common Core movement back in 2009-10, when the national standards were being locked into place in most states without public discussion but with much federal involvement (“How Gates pulled off the Common Core revolution,” June 7). Had the story been told then, MY VIEW citizens would have had a chance ROBERT to stand up and demand that HOLLAND they have a say in the process.

In any event, better four years late than never. Reporter Lyndsey Layton of The Washington Post finally told how computer mogul Bill Gates, the richest man in America, bought and paid for not only the Common Core, but its systematic promotion throughout the land, and then collaborated with the Obama administration in pressing it on the states. Grassroots activists long have been crying foul about this elitist juggernaut, but the media have dismissed them as extremists or conspiracy theorists.

Now the facts are out there about this attempted end run of the democratic process and obliteration of local/parental control of education. Or at least some of them are. Some prominent Common Core critics on both the left and right ends of the political spectrum now are calling for a congressional investigation because laws against federal interference in education policy-making likely have been broken. They have a point. It would be good to have the whole story, while growing numbers of states are considering withdrawal from Common Core.

tons of World carbon emissions 39.8 carbon dioxide emitted into pushed to new records the air in 2013

By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

WASHINGTON purred chiefly by China, the United States and India, the world spewed far more carbon pollution into the air last year than ever before, scientists announced Sunday as world leaders gather to discuss how to reduce heattrapping gases.

The world pumped an estimated 39.8 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air last year by burning coal, oil and gas. That is 778 million tons or 2.3 percent more than the previous year.

“It’s in the wrong direction,” said Glen Peters, a Norwegian scientist who was part of the Global Carbon Project international team that tracks and calculates global emissions every year.

Their results were published Sunday in three articles in the peer-reviewed journals Nature Geoscience and Nature Climate Change.

The team projects that emissions of carbon dioxide, the main heat-trapping gas from human activity, are increasing by 2.5 percent this year.

The scientists forecast that emissions will continue to increase, adding that the world in about 30 years will warm by about 2 degrees Fahrenheit from now. In 2009, world leaders called that level dangerous and pledged not to reach it.

“Time is running short,” said Pierre Friedlingstein of the University of Exeter in England, one of the studies’ lead authors. “The

S

more we do nothing, the more likely we are to be hitting this wall in 2040-something.”

Chris Field, a Carnegie Institution ecologist who heads a U.N. panel on global warming, called the studies “a stark and sobering picture of the steps we need to take to address the challenge of climate change.”

More than 100 world leaders will meet Tuesday at the U.N. Climate Summit to discuss how to reverse the emissions trend.

The world’s three biggest carbon polluting nations — China, the U.S. and India — all saw their emissions jump. No other country came close in additional emissions.

Indian emissions grew by 5.1 percent, Chinese emissions by 4.2 percent and the U.S. emissions by 2.9 percent, when the extra leap day in 2012 is accounted for.

China, the No. 1 carbon polluter, also had more than half the world’s increases over 2012.

China’s increases are slowing because the Chinese economy isn’t growing as fast as it had been, Peters said.

The U.S. had reduced its carbon emissions in four of the five previous years. Peters said it rose last year because of a recovering economy and more coal power.

Only two dozen of the about 200 countries cut their carbon emissions last year, led by mostly European countries. Spain had the biggest decrease.

The world emissions averaged to 6.3 million pounds of carbon dioxide put in the air every second.

now and then they get completely cannibalized by some larger galaxy.”

As galaxies grow, they get worse at making new stars — but

they also have stronger gravity, which helps them pull neighbors into the fold. The Milky Way reached this tipping point “recently,” in cosmic terms (read:

not at all recently) and will now grow mostly by snacking on the little guys. It’s been a while since our neighborhood ate another one, but astronomers can still see the signs of former galaxies that we’ve digested.

But the Milky Way isn’t going to be able to outrun Andromeda.

In about 5 billion years, we’ll collide with the nearby galaxy, which contains at least twice as many stars as our own. To Andromeda, we’ll be nothing but a cosmic candy bar.

These cannibalistic mergers will continue until the whole universe is made of just a few gigantic galaxies, but that’s a long way off — a destiny we won’t reach until the universe is many times older than it is today.

Scientists already knew that big galaxies like to chow down on smaller ones — which is just a cute way of saying that when they collide, the larger galaxy gains the mass of the smaller one.

According to a new study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, galaxies turn to cannibalism when they get too big to keep growing on their own.

Small heart devices open new markets for Medtronic

By Michelle Fay Cortez Bloomberg News

MINNEAPOLIS — A heart monitor the size of a paper clip may help keep Fred Schakel alive.

Schakel, a 46-year-old Indiana dairy farmer, had a stroke in November, just when he thought he was in the best shape of his life. Doctors couldn’t identify a reason, so Schakel now wears the tiny monitor, dubbed the Reveal Linq, inserted under the skin of his chest as he goes about his daily life.

The $5,000 device records heart abnormalities that can occur monthly or crop up less than once a year, and is in constant electronic contact with Schakel’s doctor’s office. Made by Minneapolis-based Medtronic, it’s part of a drive to develop consumerfriendly heart devices for an aging and image-conscious boomer population that don’t require troublesome and inconvenient electric wires and halters.

The new monitor “is a game-changer in this niche field,” said John Day, the medical director at Intermountain Health Care’s heart rhythm services in Murray, Utah. “From the patient’s standpoint, it’s a tremendous win.”

It also adds a new horizon for a device industry that’s been battered by recalls and questions about safety and overuse, leading to years of falling sales.

Medtronic isn’t alone with its strategy. St. Jude Medical purchased Nanostim last October to acquire its miniature pacemaker.

The Medtronic monitor was approved in the United States and Europe in February. Its ease of use, coupled with an ability to transmit a large amount of data without much effort from the patient or doctor, has made it into one of the company’s fastest-growing products, Medtronic executives said. They declined to provide precise sales figures.

“In June, we thought this market, which was near nothing before, could be a half-a-billion dollars in a three-year time frame,” Medtronic Chief Financial Officer Gary Ellis said in a telephone interview. “The reality is that we are going to get to a half-a-billion market much quicker than we expected. It’s going to be a big driver in the years to come.”

Medtronic began its miniaturization initiative a decade ago, purposefully keeping it separate from its conventional research group because officials knew it had the potential to disrupt the company’s current product pipeline.

The Reveal Linq is the first product to emerge from the program. A pacemaker now in final human trials may be the second. That device is small enough to be threaded into the heart via an artery, according to Medtronic, and it has the battery power inside it to be left there for a decade.

“Our engineers have gotten very good at being very stingy with power,” said David Steinhaus, the medical director for Medtronic’s heart rhythm unit. “We have been able to shrink down the size of the electronics and make the power consumption of those chips a lot less.”

While baby boomers are one target for the miniature devices, their simplicity may also open a broad swatch of the world where patients could benefit from the technology but doctors don’t have the training to implant the older, more complex models.

The Reveal Linq monitor has been embraced by doctors and patients with certain hard-to-diagnose conditions, according said Intermountain’s Day. The risks remain rare, including infections where it is inserted and potential failure with the battery, electronic circuits or remote connections.

While an erratic heart beat may be infrequent, just one episode is enough for pooling blood to form a clot that can move to the brain and cause a stroke.

A slowdown or pause can cause fainting, leading to head injuries, car crashes and fear.

“The real benefit of implantable monitors is to spot something that doesn’t happen frequently, maybe once or twice a year, especially for someone who is passing out,” Day said.

Unexplained episodes of fainting affect about 1 million Americans each year. The trigger can be a drop in the heart rate, which is easily controlled with an implanted pacemaker to ensure a proper rhythm. It can also be caused by other, non-heart related conditions and metabolic problems, making it difficult in some cases to pinpoint the cause.

The fastest growing area of use is in people with cryptogenic strokes, those such as Schakel who suffer a stroke with no clear cause.

While doctors can pinpoint causes for about twothirds of the 800,000 strokes in the U.S. each year, many of the rest may be linked to erratic heart rates, a condition known as atrial fibrillation. Once the condition is diagnosed with monitoring, the risk can be cut with blood thinners or a procedure to fix an electrical defect.

To make the tiny products, Medtronic’s engineers consulted with Swiss watchmakers, known for the precision and small size of the watch movements.

“We knew we could make a tiny device, but we didn’t know if we could do it in a high volume production facility,” Steinhaus said. “We had to learn to do things small, with specialized machinery. Human hands aren’t able to do it.”

Micra, the pacemaker that is the company’s second product from the initiative, doesn’t have the traditional wires used to connect to a canister that houses the battery and electronic circuitry. The company is still studying it to identify possible complications, which may include difficulty inserting it through the femoral vein, problems latching it onto the heart wall, infection or a breakdown in its operation.

The pacemaker, expected to hit the market in Europe within a year and in the U.S. by 2017, uses less power when turned on than a mobile phone uses when it’s off, Steinhaus said.

“Anything that can make it easier for the physician to implant these devices, reduce complications and do it in a cost effective manner — check,” said Joanne Wuensch, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets in New York. “That’s the wave of the future. These are both really important evolutions in terms of how technology is being delivered.”

groups kept publicizing embarrassing details, like the discovery of a geologic fault under the site. The estimated cost soared to $5.8 billion, and in 2012, the Obama administration suspended the project.

A different problem hit the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tenn. A $550 million fortress was erected there to safeguard the nation’s main supplies of highly enriched uranium, a bomb fuel considered relatively easy for terrorists to make into deadly weapons.

In 2012, an 82-year-old Roman Catholic nun, Megan Rice, and two accomplices cut through fences, splashed blood on the stronghold and sprayed its walls with peace slogans. The security breach set off major investigations, and the nun was sentenced to almost three years in jail.

Now, the site’s woes have deepened.

As Oak Ridge prepared for an even bigger upgrade — replacing buildings that process uranium — the price tag soared from $6.5 billion to $19 billion.

This year, the Obama administration scuttled the current plan, and the lab is struggling to revise the blueprint.

Military deployments The Obama administration says it sees no contradiction between rebuilding the nation’s atomic complex and the president’s vow to make the world less dependent on nuclear arms.

“While we still have weapons, the most important thing is to make sure they are safe, secure and reliable,” said Poneman, the deputy energy secretary.

The improvements, he said, have reassured allies.

“It’s important to our extended deterrent,” he said, referring to the U.S. nuclear umbrella over nations in Asia and the Middle East, which has instilled a sense of military security and kept many from building their own arsenals.

The administration has estimated the total cost of the nuclear enterprise over the next three decades at roughly $900 billion to $1.1 trillion. Policymakers, the report said, “are only now beginning to appreciate the full scope of these procurement costs.”

though such an increase will prove temporary as more women take advantage of the benefits that work and education can bring, said Philip Cohen, a sociology professor at the University of Maryland in College Park. “What we’re seeing is women adjusting their plans deliberately to have children later,” and have fewer offspring, he said.

There may be downsides to that, said Dean Maki, chief U.S. economist at Barclays in New York. All else being equal, “declining fertility rates signal slower economic growth,” he said.

“One of the inputs in economic growth is labor-supply growth, and if you have fewer people being born over the longer term, that’s going to be fewer workers and less growth.”

Even that is manageable, Cohen said.

If policy makers “are willing to allow more immigration, we can fix the problem,” he said.

Women’s gains in education are already beginning to outpace those of men. By the age of 27, 32 percent of women have a bachelor’s degree, compared with 24 percent of men, according to a March report outlining the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of people born in the early 1980s.

That boosts their potential earnings power, as young adults with a bachelor’s degree earned an average of $46,900 in 2012, 57 percent more than those who completed high school, data from the National Center for Education Statistics show.

As households become increasingly dependent on female employment and earnings, U.S. fertility rates will probably continue to decline, said Mark Mather, associate vice president of domestic programs at the Population Reference Bureau in Washington.

Employed married women’s earnings are now 44 percent of their families’ total, up from 37 percent in the 1970s, according to a presentation earlier this year from President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers.

“We’re seeing this big increase in women going to college and getting pretty good jobs and increasingly earning more than their husbands,” Mather said. “Along with that trend, there’s a bigger cost for women to have kids than there was in the past.”

Why I stayed with him; how I left

J

ust before I fell in love with a man who abused me, I spouted off to my New York City roommate that I’d never be stupid enough to stay with a man who hit me. Like most people who are naive about the complexities of relationship violence — victims and bystanders alike — my dismissal of the dangers of abusive love cost me dearly.

When I see footage of Ray Rice knocking his then-fiancée, Janay Palmer, unconscious in an Atlantic City, N.J., elevator — and her subsequent defense of Rice after he was cut from the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely from the National Football League this past week — I recognize how hard it can be to leave a violent relationship.

Here are the times I wish I’d left my abusive husband, an Ivy League graduate and Wall Street trader I met in New York when I was 22 and a recent Harvard graduate: Three months into our relationship, the night he choked me during sex and I wrote it off as weird but somehow erotic (for him; not for me).

The day we moved in together and he wouldn’t talk to me because a male friend from college called to congratulate me on the milestone.

The Saturday he said I looked better without any makeup and told me not to wear it anymore.

The night I was getting dressed to go out to dinner and he told me I was a slut because my skirt was too short.

The morning five days before our wedding when he first physically attacked me, because, he said with his hands around my neck, “you remind me of my mother.”

During our honeymoon, when he punched me so hard my head hit the window in our car.

The night he pulled the keys out of the car ignition while I was driving 55 mph on the highway.

The day he said I couldn’t spend Christmas with my family.

The first time he threatened to kill our dog.

The first time he pushed me down a flight of stairs.

The first time he threatened to pull the trigger of the loaded gun he held at my head.

Here are the reasons I didn’t leave my abusive husband: No one in my life had ever made me feel so safe, loved, beautiful and validated as he did during the early months of our relationship.

I confused pity with love, feeling sorry for him because he had been beaten and

Incompatible values I strongly recommend that Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center initiate action to sell the hospital to an entity more compatible with Santa Fe values. Every comment by Christus officials reflects how different their attitudes toward healing are from local attitudes. These differences cannot be resolved. If Presbyterian in Albuquerque is looking at Santa Fe, an arrangement should be considered. Santa Fe supports the nurses. Out-of-state interests support the administrators.

No meat? Pack a ham sandwich

T starved by his stepfather as a child.

I thought I was the only woman who could help him face his demons.

In between the terrible times, he still made me laugh.

I loved him.

No one but Janay and Ray Rice knows whether their relationship has been violent beyond that elevator ride, but I do know that isolated incidents of relationship violence are rare. They’re typically part of a pattern — a pattern that’s the same no matter the education, ethnicity, income level, race or gender of the victim or abuser. In my experience, this is how it goes: Fairy-tale romance. Isolation from friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.

Threat of violence. Actual violence. Convincing apology. Repeat.

One in four women and one in seven men have been victims of severe relationship violence. The riskiest time in a woman’s life for relationship violence is between the ages of 18 and 34.

It takes the average domestic violence victim seven attempts, often over a period of years, before she — or he, because men can be victims, too — ends the abusive relationship for good.

Once the victim does leave, she is in the greatest danger, because most domestic violence homicides happen after the victim has ended the relationship.

Here is what helped me end my marriage after four years of brutal attacks: I did not have children with him.

I had two friends who guessed my secret, who didn’t judge me for it or try to

force me to leave before I was ready.

Two police officers matter-of-factly informed me that, if I stayed with my husband, they would find me dead on my living room floor one day.

A domestic violence advocate went to family court to tell the judge why I needed a protection order; I was afraid the judge would believe my husband instead of me.

My mother gave me $10,000 because she knew that money would solve at least a few of my problems. And she gave it to me without saying “I told you so.”

I hired a divorce lawyer who persuaded me to give my ex-husband a lump-sum payment of $3,000 as part of our divorce settlement, so that the man I once thought was my soul mate could feel he had truly beaten me for good. It was the best money I ever spent because I haven’t heard from him in 20 years.

When it came to a choice between him or me, I chose me.

One day, Janay Rice may have her own lists of the times she wishes she’d left; the reasons she stayed; and the friends, relatives and strangers who understood the complex psychology of relationship violence. Every survivor makes these lists.

She may also wonder why people asked, so often and publicly, “Why does she stay with a man who beats her?” And why so few asked why Ray Rice would hit the woman who loves him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

f every student had a “pushy and annoying” mentor like Lorraine Goldman, there would be far fewer dropouts (and many more future doctors) in our high schools (“Capital High grad takes love of medicine to next level,” Sept. 16). Lorraine has done for “at-risk” students what generations of middle-class parents have done for their kids: relentlessly push them down the path to success. Thank you for featuring the inspiring story of future-doctor Ronald Orozco and, even more, for giving Lorraine Goldman the kudos she deserves for breathing life into Capital High’s Medical Sciences Academy. I hope the gratitude of this community, spoken and unspoken, will buoy her through her battle with cancer.

Change the name Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center is named after both Christ and a great saint, so its obvious corporate greed and lack of concern for its staff and patients, in my opinion, is both ironic and a little — well — creepy. So as not to demean and even insult its namesakes, I suggest we all call it what it certainly seems to be: “Creepy Vincent.”

Gazans suffer America has never witnessed such carnage and suffering in her history as has been unleashed by the Israelis on Gaza with American good graces. It is unimaginable that a trapped and blockaded people with no means of defense should be butchered by a “democratic” state with the aid and encouragement of American weapons and money. How can we, the home of the brave, tolerate the slaughter of defenseless people cowering in their overcrowded Gaza cage?

One more thing — how come the media never mentions post-traumatic stress disorder in the Gaza people? The Gazans have lost 2,200 lives in five weeks.

Shouldn’t the Gazan people be rewarded with our cherished title of combat heroes?

Face it, America: Gaza has suffered way out of proportion and deserves our deepest sympathy, respect and aid, not more ammunition sent to her brutal oppressor.

his just in as the latest example that, yes, anything and everything is up for partisan and often, unscientific attacks.

School districts around the country are starting to keep meat off the school lunch menu one day a week.

Meatless Monday, as the initiative is called, grew out of a larger movement to reduce meat consumption and promote healthier diets (www.mealtessmonday.com has recipes).

In the schools, it’s a strategy to help keep children full using fewer calories, teaching kids that eating healthy can be tasty. As most people acknowledge, there is a childhood obesity crisis in the United States, with a third of children being diagnosed as obese or overweight. To that end, school districts in California, Florida and even Texas are offering vegetarian lunches to children as part of the school lunch program. (In Santa Fe, a meatless option generally is offered once a week, but without any fuss. Children who want a vegetarian option also can order that ahead of time.)

To hear the critics — mainly supporters of the beef and poultry industries — this meatless initiative just might be an evil, commie plot to weaken America’s kids and limit their choices.

Recently, Todd Staples, head of the Texas Agriculture Department went after Dripping Springs, an Austin suburb, because of its meatless offerings one day a week. (Several schools in Houston are doing the same thing, but that didn’t spark hysteria.)

“Restricting children’s meal choice to not include meat is irresponsible and has no place in our schools,” Staples wrote in an op-ed published by the Austin American-Statesman. “This activist movement called ‘Meatless Monday’ is a carefully orchestrated campaign that seeks to eliminate meat from Americans’ diets seven days a week — starting with Mondays.”

To be fair, Meatless Monday can be accompanied by its own propaganda. In San Francisco, the school district food director told the San Francisco Chronicle that the effort includes discussion of compassionate eating. For environmental groups, reducing beef consumption (and the raising of cattle) is good for the planet. Those are all worthy goals, but they don’t need to be part of the school lunch production.

Perhaps a sensible approach would be to keep vegetarian options and stop spouting off about whether kids should become vegetarians or telling them how cows damage Mother Earth. As for those claiming to be offended that eating bean burritos, cheese pizza or salads will hurt children, stop being ridiculous. Schools offer meat or poultry other days of the week.

Parents can cook roasts on Monday night to show those liberals in the cafeteria — or they can wake up early and make a nice ham sandwich for their children to carry on Mondays.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Sept. 22, 1914: It is rather a reflection upon the people of Santa Fe that the Woman’s Board of Trade has had to make public the fact that it must curtail its civic activities, including the maintaining of a splendid public library and the care of the Plaza, Santa Fe’s beauty spot, unless it is better supported by the city and the citizens of Santa Fe. Sept. 22, 1964: A swing into the southern part of New Mexico this past weekend indicates President Lyndon B. Johnson has the lead he is credited with in New Mexico.

Sept. 22, 1989: An investigation into why Santa Fe’s gasoline prices are 20 percent higher than prices 60 miles away in Albuquerque may not require looking into criminal activity such as price-fixing, says District Attorney Chet Walter. Walter said his investigation may lead to public hearings on the issue, government bulk buying in Santa Fe to influence prices and possible legislation.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Family’s future is threatened by son Dear Annie: My brother, “Ned,” worked alongside my dad for many years. Now that Dad is getting up in years, Ned has taken over the business.

Ned has had a drinking problem for a long time. Ten years ago, he landed a lucrative contract for the business, and my parents were able to put money in the bank. Since then, however, his drinking has become worse, and he has been unable to get any contracts at all. His temper has become volatile, and he briefly went to jail. He eats my parents out of house and home and ruins our family get-togethers by arguing with everyone.

He threatens to sell his house, move to Hawaii and end his life if anyone tries to confront him. He refuses treatment.

We are all worried about Ned, but mostly, we are concerned about my parents’ health. They don’t know how to handle Ned’s irrational behavior anymore and want to close the business before they lose everything. What do you suggest? — Worried Sis Dear Sis: If your parents still own the business, they ought to sell it, unless they can hire someone else to run it profitably. But if Ned is a part owner, your parents will need to consult an attorney.

Ned’s drinking, his volatile temper and his threats are not within their control. He has to want help and may need to hit rock bottom to get there. In the meantime, your parents have to protect themselves.

Start by contacting Al-Anon (alanon-alateen.org).

Dear Annie: I have owned all kinds of pets and have always loved them dearly and considered them “family.” I can understand signing their name on birthday cards, holiday cards, etc. But I was surprised when I received a sympathy card with the signatures of the husband and wife along with the pet’s name and paw print.

Do you think this is appropriate?

— Still Grieving Dear Still: The dog’s paw print changes the tone of the card from sympathetic to “cute.” It is not

appropriate, but some folks simply don’t consider how that type of card is going to be received by someone in mourning. We don’t believe they meant to treat your grief lightly. Please forgive them.

Our condolences on your loss.

Dear Annie: I can’t believe you told “Mom” that her arriving college freshman daughter should tolerate her new roommate’s boyfriend staying overnight in their dorm room.

Obviously, the mom should get in touch with the roommate’s parents and tell them she vetoes this plan. The young couple can then be angry with the mom, not the new roomie. Or if need be, call the university and request a new roommate ASAP. This is where the sexual revolution has led us. The most shameless behavior is supposed to be tolerated by everyone for fear of “rocking the boat”! — Mother of Two College Students Dear Mother of Two:We didn’t tell her to “tolerate” it. We told her to talk to her roommate and ask that the boyfriend spend his evenings elsewhere and also to request a new roommate as soon as it can be arranged.

But here’s where we disagree: We don’t believe the parents should be working this out. This girl is now an adult, and part of the college experience is learning how to manage these types of situations without parental assistance. She needs to deal with this roommate on her own. We hope she will assert herself.

Dear Readers: Today is Family Day (casafamilyday.org). Studies show that children who eat dinner with their parents have a reduced risk of substance abuse. Please try to make meals a family event.

Seattle denies Denver

Grand Slam champion cites knee injuries in decision to leave sport

By Christopher Clarey The New York Times

Despite all of her evident athletic talent and all of her personal sacrifices, Li Na was a late bloomer in tennis, which is one reason — but only one reason — it feels as if she retired too soon.

In stepping away because of major knee problems at age 32 years and 6 months, she lasted longer on tour than Li Na many of the best women’s players of the modern era: longer than Monica Seles or Steffi Graf; longer than Amélie Mauresmo, Kim Clijsters or Justine Henin.

But Li had to wait to hit her peak, to shore up her once shaky forehand and confidence, to find the right blend of Eastern and Western expertise.

To be frank, which is Li’s way, she never inspired complete confidence under big-match pressure. Even when she was in full flow, gliding powerfully into the corners and generating astonishing flat pace with her strong legs and quick hands, one could never rule out an abrupt shift of focus and fortune.

Watching her could be both suspenseful and maddening, and one suspects that if she had chosen to wear a mood ring on court, it would have been flashing a new color with great frequency.

In light of all this, she deserves only more credit for finding a way to punch through the doubts and the demons and win her first two Grand

Aoki, Guthrie, Royals avoid sweep, take down Tigers The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nori Aoki hit a two-run triple, helping Jeremy Guthrie and the Kansas City RoyRoyals 5 als hold their AL Tigers 2 wild-card spot by beating the Detroit Tigers 5-2 Sunday.

The Royals avoided a three-game sweep and moved within 1 ½ games of the AL Central-leading Tigers.

Kansas City began the day with a half-game edge over Seattle for the second wild-card spot.

Aoki’s triple in the fourth scored Omar Infante and Mike Moustakas to break a 2-all tie and end the day for Rick Porcello.

Porcello (15-12) is 0-4 in his past five starts. He yielded four runs on nine hits and two walks in 3⅓ innings.

Guthrie (12-11) pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the second and was pulled after 81 pitches and 5⅓ innings, yielding one earned run.

The Royals’ dominant relieving trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland held the Tigers scoreless after Guthrie exited.

Davis struck out two, bringing his strikeout total to 103, tying a Royals’ record for a reliever. Holland threw a perfect ninth to log his 43rd save in 45 chances, and his first since Sept. 3.

Alex Gordon snapped an 0-for-14 slump with a RBI double in the seventh to pad the Royals’ lead.

Ian Kinsler homered, his 16th, to lead off the third for the Tigers.

Defending Super Bowl champions hold off Broncos in overtime showdown

By Tim Booth The Associated Press

SEATTLE eyton Manning did all he could in the final minute of regulation to get the Denver Broncos to overtime.

Russell Wilson made certain he never saw the ball in the extra session and ensured the Super Bowl rematch went in favor of the defending champion Seahawks.

Marshawn Lynch scored on a 6-yard touchdown run on the first possession of overtime, and the Seahawks beat the Broncos 26-20 on Sunday in a showdown that lived up to expectations.

Seattle (2-1) blew a 17-3 fourth-quarter lead, watching Denver tie the game at 20 on Manning’s 26-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Tamme with 18 seconds left in regulation and his 2-point conversion pass to Demaryius Thomas.

P

But Manning never got the ball in overtime, thanks to Wilson. After nearly getting sacked for a safety and throwing an interception in the fourth quarter, Wilson was brilliant in overtime. He rushed for 21 yards and was 4 of 6 passing in overtime. Lynch went the final 6 yards for the win.

Wilson had just 19 yards rushing in regulation, then did whatever was needed in overtime. He twice scrambled for on third downs after seeming reluctant to run earlier in the game. His 7-yard pass to Percy Harvin was the precursor to Lynch’s touchdown run.

Wilson finished 24 of 34 for 258 yards and two touchdown passes, both late in the first half. Lynch had 88 yards rushing and also caught a 5-yard touchdown pass.

Manning led the rally for Denver (2-1), helped by a number of Seahawks mistakes. Manning was 31 of 49 for 303 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw a costly fourth-quarter interception.

Denver appeared done after Kam Chancellor intercepted Manning at the Seattle 13 with 2:25 left, leading to Steven Hauschka’s 28-yard field goal with 59 seconds remaining. But Manning pulled Denver even with stunning precision, going 80 yards in just 41 seconds and without any timeouts.

Manning found Emmanuel Sanders for 42 yards on a blown coverage and Denver reached the Seattle 38. Manning hit Thomas for 12 yards to the Seattle 26, and K.J. Wright lost Tamme in coverage. The backup tight end was wide open for the 26-yard TD with 18 seconds left and Thomas was able to drag both feet on the 2-point conversion to tie it at 20.

Denver outscored Seattle 17-3 in the fourth quarter thanks to two touchdown passes by Manning, a safety and a 2-point conversion.

Until that point, Seattle’s defense had looked as dominant as it was in the 43-8 rout in the Super

Cowboys overcome 21-point deficit, beat Rams

By R.B. Fallstrom

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley fails to catch the ball in the end zone as St. Louis Rams cornerback Lamarcus Joyner and free safety Rodney McLeod defend during the second quarter of Sunday’s game in St. Louis.

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Dez Bryant had so much distance on the closest defender, it was pitch and catch.

Cowboys 34 Blown coverage Rams 31 made it the easiest play the Dallas Cowboys made in a comeback that matched the biggest in franchise history.

“No one ever comes that wide open,” quarterback Tony Romo said of the 68-yard touchdown pass that was among the big plays that helped the Cowboys erase a 21-0 deficit and stun the St. Louis Rams 34-31 on Sunday.

“You want to make sure you don’t do anything stupid.”

icked about the cushion they’d spotted the Rams.

“We never blinked, I can honestly say that,” Bryant said.

Romo has 21 comeback victories in the fourth quarter or overtime, a franchise best.

“Tony went out there and did what Tony do,” Bryant said. “He was poised and he knew what he wanted to do.”

Terrance Williams scored the goahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter, and Bruce Carter returned an interception 25 yards for a TD on the next snap, capping the rally.

DeMarco Murray’s 1-yard run late in the first half began the rally.

Dallas also rallied from a 21-point deficit in 1984 against New Orleans and 1999 against Washington, although both of those wins came in overtime.

Survive and advance in college football — sort of

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

Breaking down the ballots for the AP Top 25 and wrapping up college football’s fourth weekend.

Survive and advance Now that college football has a bracket — albeit a very small one for the four-team playoff — the mantra of the NCAA basketball tournament is seeping its way into fall Saturdays: survive and advance.

It’s not quite that simple, but it was certainly an appropriate way to look

at what No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Oregon did Saturday night.

The top seven teams in the latest Associated Press college football rankings on Sunday held their spots from last week. Florida State has 33 first-place votes. Oregon received 12. No. 3 Alabama got seven after being both dominant and sloppy in a 42-21 victory against Florida.

Oklahoma has four first-place votes.

Auburn is No. 5, Texas A&M is sixth with four first-place votes and Baylor is seventh.

The Seminoles pulled off one of the great escapes by a No. 1 team in recent college football history.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Carlos A. López, clopez@sfnewmexican.com

With Jameis Winston suspended for his latest misstep, Clemson had Florida State stumbling and staggering all night. The Tigers never could knock out the champs, and now another section of shocking disappointments had been added to the encyclopedia entry for “Clemsoning.”

Missed short field goals, bad snaps, fumbles and at least one officials’ call that could have gone Clemson’s way but did not, let Florida State slip away with a 23-17 overtime victory.

Credit the Seminoles for their resiliency and for having a lot more going for them than just Winston’s

gifted right arm. But mostly toss another one in the win column, 19 straight for the Seminoles, and move on.

The Ducks were fortunate enough to have their star quarterback available at Washington State because outside of Marcus Mariota much went wrong for Oregon in a 38-31 victory in Pullman, Washington.

Mariota was brilliant, with 329 yards passing, five touchdowns and a few magic tricks playing behind a banged-up offensive line that got him bounced around. The Ducks also

Slam singles titles after age 29, something no other woman has managed since the Open era began in 1968.

Though she saved the best for late, winning the French Open in 2011 and the Australian Open this year, her timing was still impeccable, and she became a rich woman because of it.

Chinese athletes who excel in sports that the West traditionally dominates have a special place in the pantheon: See Liu Xiang in the high hurdles, Yao Ming in the NBA and now Sun Yang in the Olympic swimming pool.

Li, once a badminton prospect, will always be the first Chinese and first Asian to win a Grand Slam singles title, and like Yao, she had a personality to which the Western world could warm.

A language barrier was no obstacle

to perceiving her sense of humor and mischief even if she also could be, on the rough days, as walled off as a hutong courtyard. Like many a funny person, Li had a flip side, as when she stared down a Chinese reporter for a minute that felt like an hour at a Wimbledon news conference in 2013.

“She surprised people,” her agent Max Eisenbud said Friday, “because everybody has this stigma of what a Chinese athlete is or should be or should look like. And here she is with a tattoo and an earring on the top of her ear. There was a little bit of the maverick about her, and you don’t really expect that. Her personality, even her feistiness, she was very real.”

It was hardly a given that Li would be the first Chinese woman to become a tennis superstar. Frustrated with

the rigid national training system, she retired for the first time at 20 to go to college and live unfettered with her future husband, Jiang Shan. And though she later became the first Chinese player to win a WTA singles title, ticking that box in 2004, Zheng Jie, a sturdy and smaller counterpuncher who plays on at 31, blazed a few trails of her own.

Zheng and Yan Zi became the first Chinese women to win a Grand Slam doubles title in 2006 at the Australian Open. And in 2008, Zheng, as a 133rd-ranked wild card at Wimbledon, became the first Chinese player to reach a Grand Slam singles semifinal.

But Li ultimately won the biggest prizes first, with the help of European coaching, and had the personality to make it doubly memorable.

We will never know, and though the natural conclusion is that young Chinese players inspired by Li will soon be holding up more major trophies, there are no guarantees. Germany once ruled the tennis world and marketplace with Graf and Boris Becker only to see the sport all but disappear from the radar in a hurry. Since Yao’s retirement, Chinese players are hardly taking the NBA by storm.

“The tennis boom in China is not a given,” said Paul McNamee, the former Australian Open tournament director who was part of that event’s push into China and Asia. “It will require nurturing and support. However, with the aura of Li Na and her desire to stay involved, I can see future Grand Slam champions from China within a decade.”

Li does intend to remain involved:

commercially, philanthropically and developmentally, with an academy in the works and IMG, the sports and media talent agency that has recommitted to tennis under new ownership, looking to leverage her success for the long term.

But her forced retirement does once again deprive the WTA Tour of more star power and the opportunity to create what it sorely lacks: a genuine rivalry at the top. Serena Williams has seen plenty of prospects exit the stage earlier than could have been expected: Martina Hingis, Elena Dementieva, Dinara Safina, Henin and Clijsters.

“Put it in chronological order, it’s pretty mind-boggling,” said Williams’ childhood coach Rick Macci.

Li beat Williams only once in 12 matches and never in a Grand Slam.

When Li lost to her for the last time in this year’s Miami final in a summit meeting between No. 1 and No. 2, Carlos Rodriguez, Li’s coach at that time, gave her another pep talk.

BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Pirates edge Brewers, move closer to playoffs The Associated Press

ASTROS 8, MARINERS 3 In Houston, Seattle’s playoff hopes took another hit, with Jake Marisnick hitting a three-run homer for the second straight game to lead Houston to the victory.

Houston took two of three from the Mariners, dropping them 1½ games behind Kansas City for the second AL wild card.

Rookie Collin McHugh (11-9) became the first Astros pitcher to win seven straight decisions since Roy Oswalt’s nine-game string in 2006-07.

INDIANS 7, TWINS 2 In Minneapolis, Corey Kluber matched a career best by striking 14 for the second straight start, and Cleveland didn’t lose any ground in the playoff chase with a win over Minnesota.

The Indians have won five of six.

Cleveland is 3½ games behind Kansas City for the second AL wild card, and hosts the Royals for three-plus games beginning Monday. In addition to Monday’s regularly scheduled meeting, the teams will complete the Aug. 31 game in Kansas City that was suspended in the middle of the 10th inning due to rain with Cleveland up 4-2.

Kluber (17-9) won his fourth straight start. Anthony Swarzak (3-2) took the loss.

PITTSBURGH — Vance Worley pitched eight sparkling innings, Russell Martin hit a late RBI single, and the Pirates trapped a Pirates 1 runner in the ninth to Brewers 0 edge Milwaukee 1-0 Sunday, extending their wild-card lead over the Brewers.

The Pirates tied San Francisco atop the NL wild-race race, 4½ games ahead of Milwaukee. Andrew McCutchen singled and scored in the seventh, helping Pittsburgh take two of three from the Brewers.

Carlos Gomez led off the Milwaukee ninth with a single and Rickie Weeks followed with an infield hit, but the speedy Gomez got caught in a rundown and was tagged between second and third.

McCutchen led off the seventh with a single against Wily Peralta (16-11).

REDS 7, CARDINALS 2 In St. Louis, the Cardinals clinched a playoff spot, and then lost to the Reds.

Football: BYU moves up to No. 20 on rankings, improves to 4-0 Continued from Page B-1 were on the right side of an uncalled pass interference penalty on Washington State’s last drive.

Not Oregon’s best day, but the record is unblemished and that’s all that matters.

Fact is, it’s unlikely more than a team or two from the Big Five conferences will be unbeaten come selection Sunday — yes, college football has one of those, too, now.

In the history of the 16-year BCS only one time did more than two teams from those conferences finish the regular season perfect. Auburn was the third wheel in 2004 when Southern California and Oklahoma played for the national title.

With four teams now playing for a national championship in the postseason, barring an unprecedented set of circumstances, unbeaten should mean an undeniable spot in the playoff — at least for the teams playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference.

Florida State running back Karlos Williams leaves the field Saturday after scorning the game-winning touchdown during overtime against Clemson in Tallahassee, Fla. Florida State won 23-17.

Going up Then there is BYU. The Cougars moved up one spot in the rankings to No. 20, improving to 4-0 for the first time since 2008 by

beating Virginia 41-33.

A modest rise, but the Cougars’ perfect record is worth noting because their place in college football’s new landscape is unique.

BYU is in its fourth season as a football independent. Not being a member of the Big Five, means the Cougars are lumped with the so-called Group of Five conference teams that includes the American Athletic Conference, Mountain West, Sun Belt, Mid-American and Conference USA. But BYU is not eligible for the automatic bid to one of the big New Year’s bowls that goes to the highest-ranked champion from those conferences, as determined by the selection committee A 12-0 BYU team, even with a schedule that lacks some pop, stands a good chance to land an at-large spot in one of the big games. Especially this season when there will be as many as five at-large spots in the games that don’t host semifinals.

Slip to 11-1, and the Cougars could be off to the Miami Beach Bowl to face a team from the American on Dec. 22.

Nice spot for a winter vacation, but not

so satisfying for a potential top-15 team.

The bigger question is can a 12-0 BYU team crack the top four and reach the national semifinals? Only twice during the BCS era did a team from outside the automatic-qualifying leagues (TCU in both 2009 and 2010) crack the top four in the final standings. That included some Boise State and Utah teams that won BCS games.

Moving in No. 23 East Carolina and No. 14 Mississippi State moved into the rankings for the first time this season with historic victories for their programs.

The Pirates are No. 23 after a record-setting 70-41 victory against in-state rival North Carolina. ECU has beaten ACC teams the past two weeks, winning 28-21 at Virginia Tech. It’s the second straight season ECU has beaten North Carolina.

The Pirates were last ranked Sept.

21, 2008. That team, coached by Skip Holtz, finished 9-5 and won Conference USA. This East Carolina (3-1) team, coach by ECU alum Ruffin

McNeill, is in its first season in the American Athletic Conference.

Led by three-year starting quarterback Shane Carden, an overlooked Texan who spent two years on the scout team, and 31-year-old offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley, the Pirates offense has been virtually unstoppable this season.

“The fact that our offense is this successful is based on 11-man football,” McNeill said Sunday. “We ask everybody to their jobs and make routine plays. Making sure they do a good job of making routine plays, and then you can make competitive plays.”

Mississippi State is No. 14 after holding on to beat LSU 34-29 and end a 14-game skid to the Tigers. The Bulldogs were last ranked late in the 2012 season.

From the archives Florida State is the only ranked team from the ACC. The last time a conference had the No. 1 team and no other ranked teams, was Sept. 21, 2008, when top-ranked USC was the lone Pac-10 representative.

Cowboys: Rams plagued by mistakes Continued from Page B-1 It tied the second-largest lead blown by the Rams (1-2), who slowed Murray but got burned everywhere else. Among other breakdowns was a flubbed snap by center Scott Wells, who didn’t realize Austin Davis was in the shotgun, resulting in a lost fumble, and a dropped touchdown pass by Jared Cook that could have put the Rams up 28-21. They settled for a field goal.

“I feel like I let this game slip through my hands, and it’s my fault,” Cook said.

St. Louis is 0-2 at home and was whipped 34-6 by Minnesota in the opener. Fisher said Davis played well, but that Shaun Hill would be the starter after the upcoming bye week.

“So, we’ve got some work to do

and some time to look at what we’re doing,” Fisher said. “They played very, very hard. But they didn’t play very smart.”

Murray had 100 yards on 24 carries and lost a fumble for the fourth straight game dating to last season, even after switching from carrying the ball on his left side to the right. Three of his 10 career 100-yard games are against the Rams and all leading to victories, with a franchise-record 253 yards in 2011 and 175 yards last season.

Janoris Jenkins’ 25-yard interception return, the fifth defensive touchdown in his three seasons, put the Rams up 21-0 with 6:06 to go in the first half.

Davis cut the Cowboys’ lead to three points on a 4-yard pass to Austin Pettis with 2:36 to go, but Morris

Claiborne’s interception clinched it with 1:02 left.

Romo was 4 for 5 for 40 yards and scrambled 16 yards on third-and-13 on the go-ahead drive. His second-half play overshadowed a third costly INT of the year.

“We were able to execute under pressure or whatever you want to say, blah, blah, blah,” Romo said. “We got it done.”

Penalties and a turnover late in the first half helped the Cowboys close the gap. Murray’s 1-yard run came a play after rookie Lamarcus Joyner’s interference call in the end zone.

Henry Melton recovered a fumble on Scott Wells’ flubbed shotgun snap, and a roughing-the-passer call on Eugene Sims got Dallas closer for Dan Bailey’s 29-yard field goal.

Seattle: Sanders finishes with 11 catches Continued from Page B-1 Bowl. Between Brandon McManus’ field goal late in the first quarter and the start of the fourth, Denver ran one offensive play in Seattle territory. Seattle outgained Denver 237-84 in the second and third quarters combined.

But Seattle made enough mistakes in the fourth quarter to let Denver linger. The problems started when Wilson was sacked by DeMarcus Ware at his 1, nearly avoiding a safety. Lynch was gang tackled in the end zone on the next play, cutting the deficit to 17-5 with 13:07 left.

Wilson was then intercepted with 11:02 left at the Seattle 32 by Chris

Harris Jr., on a pass deflected by Aqib Talib. Harris returned it to the Seattle 19, and Manning got the Broncos in the end zone on a 2-yard shovel pass to Julius Thomas with 9:20 remaining to cut the deficit to 17-12.

Even with Chancellor’s interception — the first thrown by Manning in 173 regular-season attempts — the Seahawks could not put Denver away. Sanders finished with 11 catches for 149 yards, while Wes Welker had six receptions in his first action of the season.

Denver was held without a touchdown in the first half for just the second time in the regular season with Manning as quarterback.

Tennessee Titans kicker Rob Bironas leaves the field after kicking a 60-yard field goal with 12 seconds left during the fourth quarter to beat the Indianapolis Colts 20-17 on Dec. 3, 2006. Bironas died Saturday after a car accident near his Nashville, Tenn., home.

Ex-Titans kicker killed in car crash

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Rob Bironas, who worked his way through odd jobs and the Arena Football League before becoming one of the NFL’s most accurate kickers, died in a car crash.

He was 36.

The former Tennessee Titans player died Saturday night when he lost control on a curve in his 2009 GMC Yukon Denali and crashed after 11 p.m. less than a mile from home, Metro Nashville Police said.

In a statement on the department website, police said his SUV was speeding when it went off the road and hit a line of trees before coming to a stop upside down in a culvert.

Bironas was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Police said there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs at the scene.

The Titans released Bironas in March after nine seasons.

The Tennessean reported that Bironas worked out for the Detroit Lions and for Tampa Bay during the offseason.

Bironas married Rachel Bradshaw, daughter of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, in June.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said a police chaplain was with her after the crash. Bradshaw did not appear on the Fox NFL Sunday pregame show and was going to Nashville to be with his daughter.

A post on his verified Twitter account, RobBironas, stated Sunday morning: “It’s w/ heavy hearts that we confirm the passing RB # 2 We appreciate your respect for the family’s privacy and your prayers at this time.”

The Titans extended their condolences while it prepared to play a game at Cincinnati.

“Rob made a significant impact as a player in his nine years with the team and more importantly touched many lives in the Nashville community off the field,” the team said in a statement.

Playing a few hours after they received the sad news, the Titans lost to the Bengals 33-7 on Sunday, falling to 1-2 with their worst performance of the season.

“It was real tough, with him being on the team all those years,” running back Shonn Greene said. “We had some of our motivation and energy to play for him. It didn’t work out.”

Quarterback Jake Locker had a particularly rough time, going 17 of 34 for 185 yards with two sacks and two interceptions, one of them thrown into a crowd in the end zone.

“It’s one of those things that give you perspective,” Locker said. “It reminds you to be thankful for the people in your life. Rob was a charismatic guy that always brought smiles to people’s faces around the building. It’s tough to see it happen to someone so young, who was just recently married. You feel for him and his loved ones that are left behind.”

ROUNDUP

Matthews, Maclin lead Eagles over Redskins The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Rookie Jordan Matthews, the receiver who replaced DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia, caught two touchdown Eagles 37 passes, and the Eagles beat Redskins 34 Jackson and the Redskins 37-34 on Sunday in a nasty game marred by a fourth-quarter brawl.

Jackson had his own big play, an 81-yard TD that tied it at 27. But it was not enough to offset Matthews and Jeremy Maclin, whose 27-yard scoring reception gave Philadelphia (3-0) the lead. Rookie Cody Parkey’s third field goal, a 51-yarder with 5:55 remaining, put the game out of reach.

Philadelphia’s Chris Polk had a 102-yard kickoff return. Kirk Cousins threw for 427 yards and three touchdowns for Washington (1-2).

The game was slowed by several injuries and disrupted by a sideline brawl with about 10 minutes remaining. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles was blindsided by Chris Baker during an apparent interception return by Bashaud Breeland. Baker and Philly left tackle Jason Peters were ejected.

RAVENS 23, BROWNS 21 In Cleveland, with the Ray Rice case lingering over them, the Ravens pulled off a comeback win as Justin Tucker kicked a 32-yard field as time expired to give Baltimore a victory over the Browns.

Tucker’s boot capped another challenging week for the Ravens (2-1), who continue to be dogged by their handling of Rice’s domestic violence suspension. Following the game, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh addressed an ESPN report that claims he wanted the team to immediately release Rice after he was arrested for punching his then-fiancée.

The report says Harbaugh was overruled by owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Ozzie Newsome. “I can tell you this, we work together in our organization,” Harbaugh said.

Joe Flacco set up Tucker’s winner with a 32-yard pass to Steve Smith with 1:28 left. The Ravens then ran the clock down before bringing in Tucker, who split the uprights and sent the Browns (1-2) to another tough loss.

Along with the blown opportunities, the Browns had a fake play in which backup quarterback Johnny Manziel fooled Baltimore’s defense negated by a penalty.

COLTS 44, JAGUARS 17 In Jacksonville, Fla., Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes — three of them in a lopsided first half — and Indianapolis dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars for its first win.

It was a home opener to forget for the Jaguars (0-3), who trailed 30-0 at the break and benched quarterback Chad Henne.

The only positive for Jacksonville was getting rookie Blake Bortles on the field. The third overall pick in May’s NFL draft played the entire second half, finishing with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. He completed 14 of 24 passes for 223 yards, including fourth-quarter scores to Allen Hurns and Cecil Shorts III. Indianapolis (1-2) made plays from start to finish, including Greg Toler returning an interception 47 yards for a touchdown with 2:58 to play. Luck did most of the damage, though. He completed 31 of 39 passes for 370 yards.

SAINTS 20, VIKINGS 9 In New Orleans, Drew Brees passed for 293 yards and two touchdowns, and the Saints won for the first time this season, taking their home opener against Minnesota.

For the Vikings, the loss capped a week of distractions as the club first announced that star running back Adrian Peterson would play, then later changed course and said Peterson would leave the team indefinitely to deal with child abuse allegations.

Minnesota then lost starting quarterback Matt Cassel with a toe injury early in the second quarter. He was replaced by rookie Teddy Bridgewater, who completed 12 of 20 for 150 yards while leading two scoring drives that both ended with field goals.

Brees’ scoring passes went for 34 yards to tight end Josh Hill and 18 yards to receiver Marques Colston. It was the 64th time Brees and Colston connected for a score. Only six other quarterback-receiver tandems have combined for more in NFL history.

GIANTS 30, TEXANS 17 In East Rutherford, N.J., Rashad Jennings ran for a career-high 176 yards and a touchdown and Eli Manning threw two TD passes as the Giants overcame some early mistakes and beat the suddenly error-prone Houston.

The victory not only put some life back

into the Giants (1-2) after two disappointing efforts, it also ended any chance of a second straight horrible start for Tom Coughlin’s team which opened 0-6 last season.

Victor Cruz made a 26-yard touchdown catch, his first since Game 4 of last season, and danced the salsa. The defense intercepted three of Ryan Fitzpatrick’s passes, and the special teams blocked a punt, setting up Manning’s second TD. Fitzpatrick threw a 44-yard scoring pass to Damaris Johnson and ran for another score for the Texans (2-1), who played without halfback Arian Foster (hamstring).

BENGALS 33, TITANS 7 In Cincinnati, Andy Dalton caught a touchdown pass — the first Bengals quarterback to pull off that feat — and the Bengals stayed undefeated with a victory over Tennessee.

The Bengals (3-0) head into their bye week with their best start in eight years and a chance to get some of their many injured players healthy. They got a lot of big plays, a few breaks and plenty of help from a team dealing with the death of a long-time player.

A few hours before kickoff, the Titans (1-2) learned that kicker Rob Bironas had died overnight in a one-car crash in Nashville. He’d been released in March after his ninth season with Tennessee.

STEELERS 37, PANTHERS 19 IN Charlotte, N.C., Ben Roethlisberger threw two 7-yard touchdown passes to Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell ran for 147 yards and Pittsburgh beat the Panthers.

The Steelers had gone eight quarters without a touchdown before Roethlisberger’s two scoring strikes in the third. They were set up

by Cam Newton’s fumble and Bell’s 81-yard run.

Roethlisberger finished 22 of 30 for 196 yards, and Brown had 90 yards receiving on 10 catches to help the Steelers (2-1) snap Carolina’s eight-game home winning streak.

PATRIOTS 16, RAIDERS 9 In Foxborough, Mass., Tom Brady threw a touchdown pass, Stephen Gostkowski kicked three field goals, and the sluggish Patriots held on to beat Oakland when defensive tackle Vince Wilfork intercepted a pass near his goal line.

Darren McFadden’s potential tying touchdown run was nullified by a holding penalty.

A play later, Wilfork grabbed the ball when Logan Ryan jarred it loose from intended receiver Denarius Moore with 51 seconds left.

The Patriots (2-1) won their 12th home opener in 13 seasons, while the Raiders (0-3) lost their 15th straight game in the Eastern time zone. They were held to three field goals

by Sebastian Janikowski.

Brady became the third quarterback with 150 regular-season wins behind Brett Favre (186) and Peyton Manning, who came into Sunday with 169.

He is 57-5 in his last 62 home games, including the playoffs.

LIONS 19, PACKERS 7 In Detroit, Don Carey returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown, and Detroit’s defensive front stuffed Green Bay, leading the Lions over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

The Lions (2-1) came in with a secondary decimated by injuries, but that didn’t much matter with Rodgers under constant pressure.

He was sacked twice and threw for only 162 yards, and Green Bay (1-2) wasn’t any better when running the ball.

Reggie Bush added a 26-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter for Detroit, which had never beaten Green Bay with Rodgers healthy for the whole game.

The Packers managed only 223 yards of offense and lost despite forcing three turnovers.

Detroit linebacker Stephen Tulloch left with a knee injury that appeared to occur as he was celebrating a sack.

CHIEFS 34, DOLPHINS 15 In Miami Gardens, Fla., Alex Smith shook off five sacks to throw three touchdown passes and help Kansas City earn its first victory by beating the Dolphins.

Smith led touchdown drives of 62, 76 and 66 yards in a span of four possessions as Kansas City took leads of 14-0 and 21-10. The Chiefs improved to 1-2 and won for only the third time in their past 11 games, including postseason.

The Dolphins fell to 1-2, another wobbly start for a team that hasn’t won a postseason game since 2000.

Smith, who ranked 35th and last in the NFL in passing after two weeks, went 19 for 25 for 186 yards, with three of his incompletions dropped.

He threw scoring passes of 11 and 4 yards to Joe McKnight, and 20 yards to Travis Kelce.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Even without their starting quarterback, the Cardinals 23 Arizona 49ers 14 Cardinals are on top of the toughest division in football.

Backup Drew Stanton threw a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes to rookie John Brown and Arizona rallied to beat San Francisco 23-14 on Sunday, snapping a four-game losing streak to the 49ers.

Tommy Kelly blocked a field goal for the Cardinals (3-0), who outscored San Francisco 17-0 in the second half.

The 49ers (1-2) mounted 80-yard touchdown drives the first two times they had the ball, then didn’t score again, blowing a halftime lead for the second week in a row.

Stanton, starting for injured Carson Palmer for the second straight week, completed 18 of 33 for 244 yards and two scores.

Michael Floyd caught five for 114 yards.

The 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick completed 29 of 37 for 245 yards and a touchdown and ran for another 54.

A week ago, San Francisco led 17-7 and lost at home to Chicago 28-20.

The 49ers were up 14-6 at the break this time before Stanton connected with Brown on touchdown passes of 24 and 21 yards.

Stanton quarterbacked the Cardinals to a 25-14 road win over the New York Giants a week ago, his first regular-season game since 2010. He was even sharper against San Francisco.

Arizona showed no sign of being distracted after backup running back Jona-

than Dwyer was arrested on a domestic abuse charge earlier in the week. Dwyer has been placed on a nonfootball injury list and is gone for the season.

San Francisco was penalized nine times for 107 yards.

The 49ers were without tight end Vernon Davis (ankle injury) and his backup Vance McDonald (knee), as well as starting right tackle Anthony Davis (hamstring) and cornerback Tramaine Brock (toe).

Palmer remained sidelined with a nerve problem in his throwing shoulder.

A late-hit penalty on Dan Skuta, followed on the next play by a roughing-thepasser call against Patrick Willis, aided Arizona’s goahead touchdown drive in the third quarter.

On third-and-eight from the Cardinals 17, Stanton lofted a 45-yarder to Floyd for the drive’s big play.

Stanton found Brown alone again from 21 yards out for the score.

Down 20-14, San Francisco drove to the Arizona 5 but an unnecessary roughness penalty against Anquan Boldin for head-butting the Cardinals’ Tony Jefferson pushed the 49ers back.

Then the 6-foot-6, 310-pound Kelly knocked down Dawson’s field goal try and the Cardinals’ Ed Stinson pounced on it near midfield.

Arizona looked to be driving for another score before Michael Wilhoite knocked the ball out of Larry Fitzgerald’s hands and Perrish Cox recovered for San Francisco at the Arizona 3 with 6:54 remaining.

But the 49ers couldn’t move it, and Chandler Catanzaro’s third field goal of the afternoon, from 35 yards, sealed it in the waning seconds.

Chargers end Bills’ feel-good start

By Nick Mendola The Associated Press

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Quarterback EJ Manuel and the Buffalo Chargers 22 Bills’ Bills 10 feel-good start to the season were derailed by the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

Manuel and the offense were inconsistent. The Bills’ defense proved porous. And very little else went right for Buffalo in a 22-10 loss.

“We just didn’t play how we wanted to play,” Manuel said. “We left some plays on the field. When you get a chance to hit a home run, you’ve got to hit a home run.”

Manuel went 23 of 39 for 238 yards and a touchdown.

But 75 of those yards came during a meaningless final drive that ended with Manuel throwing an incompletion into the end zone.

On defense, the Bills (2-1) were picked apart by Philip Rivers, who went 18 of 25 for 256 yards and two touchdown passes to Eddie Royal.

Rivers and the Chargers (2-1) built off a 30-21 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

“It was disappointing,” Bills cornerback Corey Graham said. “They did pretty much the same thing the whole game, and we gave it to them the whole game.”

Fred Jackson scored on an 11-yard catch-and-run for Buffalo, which blew an opportunity to get off to a 3-0 start for only the third time since 1993.

Injuries were an issue, too.

Left guard Chris Williams (back), safety Da’Norris Searcy (ankle) and receiver Marcus Easley (left knee) did not return.

Manuel had difficulty finding chemistry with his receivers. At times, he threw and they simply weren’t

looking for the ball, including a pair of incompletions intended for first-round draft pick Sammy Watkins.

The rookie was late turning for one pass, which sailed past him on what was a costly incompletion. It came on fourth-and-3 at the Chargers 43 with 8:25 left.

“Just throwing the ball a hair too soon,” Manuel said.

“I may be seeing something that he may not see and vice versa. That’s just a matter of us getting on the same page consistently.”

Watkins had two catches for 19 yards, a week after making eight receptions for 117 yards and a score in a 29-10 win over Miami.

Manuel also gave up a safety after being penalized for intentional grounding in the end zone with 3:23 remaining.

Coach Doug Marrone refused to single out his second-year quarterback.

“We need everyone to make plays,” Marrone said.

San Diego took control on consecutive possessions spanning halftime. Nick Novak capped a seven-play, 61-yard drive with a 37-yard field goal to put the Chargers up 13-3 with 21 seconds left in the second quarter.

Rivers opened the third by marching the Chargers 80 yards on 14 plays, scoring on a 5-yard pass to Royal.

Rivers completed 4 of 6 attempts for 56 yards on the possession and converted all three third-down chances.

The Chargers defense had three sacks and limited the Bills to 11 first downs and 171 yards of offense through three quarters. San Diego beat Buffalo despite a depleted offensive backfield. Already missing starting running back Ryan Mathews (knee), the Chargers lost backup Danny Woodhead early to a right ankle injury. Donald Brown stepped in and finished with 89 yards of total offense.
