Jewish community marks 100 days for hostages in Gaza

o records exist for government ineptitude. If they did, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and her New Mexico Game Commission would be top-ranked contenders for the dishonor.

The Game Commission has not had a full complement of seven members since then-Commissioner David Soules died in March of 2021. That’s not a typographical error. Almost three years have gone by since the governor properly staffed the commission.

Lujan Grisham appoints the members, who are subject to confirmation by the state Senate. The commission last year dwindled to three members, too few to do business because it lacked a quorum.

There are five commissioners now, but infighting infects their operation.

In the last year they haven’t elected a chairman or chairwoman to lead the way on matters of hunting, fishing and wildlife conservation. The Game Commission has held five meetings and postponed two more since the chairmanship was vacated.

IOWA C AUCUSE S

Contenders urge voters to brave the frigid temps Beyond the cold, race widely seen as contest for second with Trump favored to win

By Jonathan Swan, Lisa Lerer and Michael Gold The New York Times

DES MOINES, Iowa — Candidates for the Republican presidential nomination crisscrossed the frigid fields and icy roads of Iowa on Sunday, pleading with would-be supporters to cast votes in the nation’s first nominating contest Monday night despite bone-chilling temperatures.

After a yearlong marathon of campaign events and tens of millions of dollars spent on television ads and mailers, the race is closing in much the way it started: Former President Donald Trump is the odds-on favorite to win in Iowa, most likely by a significant margin.

Twelve-year-old Ilana Dahan from Israel steps away from the crowd to cry as members of the Northern New Mexico Jewish community gather Sunday at the Plaza to mark 100 days of captivity for 136 hostages still being held by Hamas in Gaza. Around 100 participants gathered, prayed and read the names of those held hostage.

ne hundred seconds of silence.

One second for each day the 136 people have been held hostage by Hamas.

“In this fast-paced life we live — 100 days, we can’t wait, because we get impatient,” the Rev. Rick Iannucci told a crowd of 100 or more people gathered around the wooden box marking the former site of the Soldiers’ Monument on Sunday. “But we’ll be waiting for 100 seconds just to give us a perspective on what our brothers and sisters are going through in the tunnels.”

Sunday’s march, which went along the snowy streets from the Santa Fe Jewish Center — Chabad on West Manhattan Avenue to the Plaza and back, was organized by several local Jewish groups and drew attendees not only from Santa Fe but from Albuquerque, Los Alamos and Taos as well.

“Do you know where your families are today?” Alonet “Lonnie” Zarum Zandan, co-chairwoman of the Jewish Community Relations Coalition of New Mexico, asked the crowd. “We’re lucky that we know where our families are today. ... There are over 100 families who don’t know where their [families] are today because they are being held hostage in Gaza.”

Sunday marked 100 days since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, which began when Hamas militants stormed from the blockaded Gaza Strip into nearby Israeli towns on Oct. 7, which coincided with a major Jewish holiday.

Hamas militants killed more than 1,200 people, the majority of them civilians, and took about 240 hostages. Israel has responded with a bombing campaign and invasion of the Gaza Strip that has so far killed more than 20,000 Palestinians, the majority also civilians.

Of the 240 hostages, Israel believes 25 have died in captivity and 132 are still being held, Reuters reported Sunday. About half were released in a November truce.

Restraint urged as war reaches 100-day mark U.S. says now is the ‘right time’ to begin transition to ‘low-intensity’ operations

By Josef Federman, Samy Magdy and Kareem Chehayeb The Associated Press

JERUSALEM — The White House said Sunday “it’s the right time” for Israel to scale back its military offensive in the Gaza Strip, as Israeli leaders again vowed to press ahead with their operation against the

territory’s ruling Hamas militant group.

The comments exposed the growing differences between the close allies on the 100th day of the war.

Also Sunday, Israeli warplanes struck targets in Lebanon following a Hezbollah missile attack that killed two Israeli civilians — an older woman and her adult son — in northern Israel. The exchange of

fire underscored concerns the Gaza violence could trigger wider fighting across the region.

The war in Gaza, launched by Israel in response to the unprecedented Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, has killed nearly 24,000 Palestinians, devastated vast swaths of Gaza, driven around 85% of the territory’s 2.3 million residents from their homes and pushed a quarter of Please see story on Page A-4

Principal dies from injuries suffered during school shooting in Iowa A principal shot this month in a school shooting in Perry, Iowa, has died from his injuries, the funeral home handling the services confirmed Sunday.

The principal, Dan, 56, was shot Jan. 4 by a 17-year-old student at Perry High School. The student opened fire at the school as students were returning from winter break.

The gunman, Dylan Butler, shot Marburger and five students, killing one of them, Ahmir Jolliff, a sixth grader. The gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot, police said.

Marburger died just before 8 a.m. Sunday at a hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, Scott Glover, director of Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home & Crematory, said in an email, noting no other details of the death were available. The funeral home held services for Ahmir last week.

Marburger’s death was also confirmed on a website raising funds for his family, which noted the principal, who had served the school since 1995, had “endured significant injuries” Jan. 4, “putting himself in harm’s way to ensure as many students and staff could safely exit the building.”

Storm system brings winter blast to tens of millions of Americans PORTLAND, Ore. — Subfreezing temperatures across much of the U.S. left millions of Americans facing dangerous cold as Arctic storms killed four people and knocked out electricity to tens of thousands in the Northwest, brought snow to the South, and walloped the Northeast with blizzard conditions that forced the postponement of an NFL game.

An estimated 95 million people nationwide faced weather warnings or advisories Sunday for wind chills below zero degrees. Forecasters said the severe cold was expected to push as far south as northern Texas while the bitter blast could send wind chill readings as low as minus 70 degrees in Montana and the Dakotas.

In Buffalo, N.Y., where snowfall of up to 2 feet was forecast, severe conditions led officials to postpone the Buffalo Bills-Pittsburgh Steelers NFL playoff game to Monday. Late Sunday, winds whipped at 30 mph, and snow was falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour.

Volcanic crack sends lava sliding toward evacuated Icelandic town A volcano erupted in southwestern Iceland on Sunday after a series of earthquakes in the early morning, the country’s meteorological office said — threatening to overcome the nearby coastal town of Grindavík with streams of slow-moving lava.

The lava posed no threat to human life but could still wreak damage on the town, said Icelandic President Gudni Thorlacius Johannesson. “The town had already been successfully evacuated overnight and no lives are in danger, although infrastructure may be under threat,” he said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The eruption began around 8 a.m. local time on Iceland’s southern peninsula, officials said, near where an eruption occurred last month, weeks after the town’s nearly 4,000 residents had been evacuated. Seismic activity cracked the earth open and sent lava spewing into the air, exposing one fissure authorities said measured up to 3,300 feet in length.

About an hour after the eruption began, officials said, lava had reached within 1,500 feet of Grindavík.

Tempers rise as Guatemala delays inauguration of reformer president GUATEMALA CITY — Opponents of anti-corruption crusader Bernardo Arévalo delayed his inauguration as president of Guatemala on Sunday, ratcheting political tensions higher in Central America’s most populous country.

Confusion around the transition of power emerged shortly after Guatemala’s highest court Sunday allowed conservative members of Congress opposed to Arévalo to maintain their leadership of the chamber.

After that ruling, arguments among lawmakers flared in the chamber when Congress was expected to officially name Arévalo as president. Some congressional members went behind closed doors; other lawmakers contended they were trying to derail the transfer of power, fueling bewilderment and frustration around the country.

“These are the latest strategies that corrupt elites are using to prevent a democratically elected government from coming to power,” said José Ochoa, 64, a small-business owner who was among the hundreds who streamed into the streets of Guatemala City’s old center to show support for Arévalo on Sunday.

Whisky from Wales?

Believe it, say the Welsh Overshadowed by neighbors, nation’s distillers look to grow globally

By Stephen Castle

The New York Times

ABERGWYNGREGYN, Wales t is famed for a love of singing and a passion for rugby. It has a distinctive Celtic language and is the birthplace of poet Dylan Thomas. But few would claim Wales, a nation of 3 million people outnumbered by sheep, is well known for whiskey, or whisky, as it is known in Wales.

Yet the country has played its part in distilling history — a Welshman is considered one of the founding fathers of bourbon — and a recent revival of whisky production has prompted new rules governing which liquor can call itself Welsh.

That was how the problems began in Abergwyngregyn (pronounced ABER-gwingregin), in the shadow of the ice-capped Snowdonia mountain range, where Aber Falls single-malt whisky is produced in a distillery filled with the aroma of barley.

Made with exclusively Welsh grain and water from a picturesque nearby waterfall, the light, slightly fruity, single-malt whisky distilled by Aber Falls was the first in more than a century to be produced in North Wales.

The packaging is red — one of the national colors of Wales — and bears an image of a dragon, the country’s symbol. When the distillery opened in 2017, its mission was to create “a Welsh brand, supporting Wales and collaborating with other Welsh businesses,” said Carole Jones, its general manager.

But it still was not Welsh enough.

Last year, Aber Falls whisky failed a test for certification as a protected Welsh product because the bottling was taking place not at the distillery, but 50 miles across the border, in England. The company had a choice: move the bottling back to Wales, or banish any mention of Welshness from the label — even the red dragon.

That, said Jones, would have been a “catastrophe” for Aber Falls, so by September, bottling was back on Welsh soil, allowing the company to join a list with four other certified Welsh whisky makers.

Awkward though it was, the wrangle over provenance highlights the growing interest in whisky in Wales, where a small number of

I

commercial distilleries have followed in the footsteps of the best-known modern day producer, Penderyn. In total, Welsh whisky firms generate an estimated $29 million in revenue a year.

Although for some, whisky is synonymous with scotch, Wales enjoys an unusual place in liquor history because a Welshman, Evan Williams, is hailed as one of the first distillers of bourbon in the United States.

Historical details are sketchy and disputed, but, according to Heaven Hill Brands, the producers of a bourbon named for him, Williams was born in 1755, immigrated to North America in the late 1770s or early 1780s, and began distilling in 1783 in Louisville, Ky. He was probably raised in Dale, Pembrokeshire, where his family may have had a distillery.

The country he left behind never developed commercial production on the scale of Scotland or Ireland, but in 1889, one large producer, the Welsh Whisky Distillery Co., was founded in Frongoch, near Bala, around 50 miles from Aber Falls.

It did not survive long. In England, the whisky’s reception was lukewarm. In Scotland, it was cooler, and in Wales, social forces were gathering against it, including the temperance movement.

It took a century, but the revival began in 2004, when Penderyn was opened in South Wales. It expanded a decade later and has won critical acclaim.

“It’s a whisky I would keep in my collection,” said Vic Cameron, a whisky lecturer at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, referring to a Penderyn single malt finished in a former Madeira cask.

While “scotch took over the world,” Cameron said, whisky can be produced wherever cereals grow.

“If you ferment it and distill it, it’s whisky,” he said. “And the Welsh have everything that we have: They have decent water, they have malted barley, and they have yeast, so they can make good whisky.”

Business is good, and last January, the company moved to 24-hour distilling. Around 6,000 bottles of whisky are produced each week, and exports go to 40 countries, including China and Kazakhstan, with plans to add the United States next year.

JOYCE R AND OLPH , 1924 -2024

‘Honeymooners’ actor reflected working-class America

By Robert D. McFadden The New York Times

Joyce Randolph, who played Trixie Norton, the wife of a guffawing, rubber-limbed sewer worker forever mired in a blowhard neighbor’s getrich-quick schemes and other hazards of life on the classic 1950s sitcom The Honeymooners, died Saturday at her home in the New York City borough of Manhattan. She was 99.

She was the last survivor of a cast of four that dominated the Saturday-night viewing habits of millions in the golden age of live television, and for decades afterward on rerun broadcasts and home video. Jackie Gleason (Ralph Kramden) died in 1987; Audrey Meadows (Ralph’s wife, Alice) in 1996; and Art Carney (Ed Norton) in 2003.

In an age when status symbols in a gritty Brooklyn tenement were telephones, television sets and refrig-

erators, the Kramdens had none on a bus driver’s $62 a week. Reflecting America’s working-class experience, they struggled for a better life, shared disappointments and had fun.

As Trixie, Randolph played the upstairs wife who crossed her arms and commiserated with her best friend, Alice, over addlepated husbands who somehow got drunk on grape juice, found a suitcase of the mob’s counterfeit cash and invented a “handy”

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Near the base of the Rainbow Mountains, Daniel Busby looks up longingly at his two-story “dream” townhouse, with the sliding glass door on its second floor, the balcony that wraps around the master bedroom, the five-minute walk from his kids’ elementary school.

“I just fell in love,” said Busby, 33, doing a chef’s kiss and smacking his lips together. “And then we started doing the math.”

The gregarious fry cook has enjoyed the windfalls of pandemic economic recovery overseen by President Joe Biden. The president’s stimulus plan gave lower-wage workers more leverage to demand higher pay from their employers, with those in the service sector — like Busby — seeing particularly robust gains.

He went from being unemployed and working part-time at $15 an hour during the pandemic to a full-time job at the Paris Hotel, mostly at the Martha Stewart franchise, earning $19 an hour preparing a risotto dish and, his favorite, the whole chicken dinner. Busby and his wife now make a combined salary of just under six figures — a previously unimaginable sum.

But the gains have not kept up with rising costs, and that has become a major issue for voters like him. When Biden took the oath of office in January 2021, the average monthly mortgage payment in Las Vegas was about $1,200, according to calculations by Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. That number, for new mortgages, has soared to $2,350 today due to rising interest rates and robust housing prices — the outer edge of what Busby was willing to spend.

By many measures, the U.S. economy is a great success story — recession fears have fallen, along with gas prices and the unemployment rate, while manufacturing construction is up along with nominal wages and the stock market. The United States has grown faster since the coronavirus pandemic than any peer country. Gas prices, once averaging over $5 a gallon, are now approaching $3. The Federal Reserve projects three interest rate cuts in 2024 that could help buyers like Busby.

But the kitchen-table experience of Biden’s first term — a roller coaster of pandemic adjustments and international shocks — has meant many voters have experienced the last few years as a time of relative economic hardship.

Despite rising wages, voters as a group lost spending power during 2021 and 2022 and have only recently climbed out of the hole. And even though wages are now outpacing inflation, prices continue to rise: The latest government report showed inflation up 3.4% relative to the year before, fueling the anxiety even amid positive economic indicators.

Adjusted for inflation, the per capita disposable income of U.S. residents rose nearly 1% from October 2021 to October 2023, a period that excludes the extraordinary one-time stimulus payments when Biden arrived, according to a calculation by Robert Shapiro, a Democratic economist who advised former President Bill Clinton. By comparison, per capita disposable income, after inflation, grew about 7% in the first 34 months of Donald Trump’s presidency.

The good news for Democrats is the growth in spending power has been picking up over the last year, potentially setting the stage for a banner 2024, when wages will continue to grow even as the rate of inflation continues to fall.

Biden urged to step up efforts

Faced with unruly right, new speaker at a crossroads As partial shutdown nears, Johnson draws pushback on spending

The New York Times

PETE MAROVICH/THE NEW YORK TIMES

President Joe Biden boards Air Force One last week at Joint Base Charleston in Charleston, S.C. Biden has a re-election campaign with two distinct centers of gravity — the White House and his Delaware headquarters — and advisers who are juggling two jobs.

cloistered inside the White House. Less than a year before Election Day, the president has a campaign with two distinct centers of gravity, advisers juggling two jobs at once and months of internal debate about when to consolidate everyone.

A spokesperson for the campaign dismissed concerns about the campaign structure, noting past presidents had sometimes left top political advisers in the White House.

“We invite everyone concerned about the existential threat that Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans pose to our freedom and democracy to channel their energy toward organizing, donating and talking to their friends about the stakes of this election,” said Kevin Munoz, the spokesperson.

But the situation has led anx-

ious Democrats, including some inside the campaign itself, to privately and publicly prod Biden to step on the gas. That includes former President Barack Obama, who discussed the urgency of the 2024 election and the structure of the president’s campaign with Biden in November, according to several people familiar with the discussion. The Washington Post first reported the conversation.

In interviews with more than a dozen Democratic operatives, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss campaign strategy, several said they worried a bifurcated campaign was contributing to a slow start to what should be a furious battle for a second term. John Morgan, one of Biden’s top donors, said the hand-wringing was coming from Democrats who

were terrified because of polls showing razor-thin margins for Biden in battleground states, as well as the potency of Trump’s candidacy.

“That’s why you hear so much, you know, back-seat driving,” Morgan said. “Because we all think we have the answer. And, you know, the campaign gets sick of hearing from donors and political operatives and so-called experts.”

At the same time, he said, Biden’s recent speech directly attacking Trump a day before the anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol was evidence to him the campaign had begun responding to the anxiety expressed by his supporters “That was red meat,” Morgan said. “That’s what the donor class wants and thinks is needed.”

Some U.S. Jews rethinking Israel’s role

By Marc Tracy

The New York Times

Last month, on the first night of Hanukkah, more than 200 people packed an old ballroom on the third floor of a restored synagogue in New York City. A few came fresh off the subway from a protest that was organized by left-wing Jewish groups calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war.

They were there to hear from Shaul Magid, 65, whose long, thin white beard and shaved head made him look more like a roadie than a rabbi. A professor of Jewish studies at Dartmouth College as well as a rabbi, Magid was there to spread the message elucidated in his new book, The Necessity of Exile, that Jews today outside Israel — 75% of whom live in the United States — should embrace diaspora, the state of living outside a homeland, as a permanent and valuable condition.

“If there’s a diasporic reality where Jews have been able to live as Jews, flourish as Jews, not to be oppressed and persecuted — whether they choose to be a Satmar Hasid or Larry David, it doesn’t matter — if they’re

allowed to live the Judaism they want, why would that be a tragedy?” he said.

Magid’s outlook is one of several burgeoning visions for the future of Jewish life that fall under the umbrella of “diasporism.” The idea has been getting a new look since Hamas’ attack on Israel three months ago and Israel’s pulverizing bombing campaign and invasion in the Gaza Strip.

Those events have forced Jews everywhere to reckon anew with what they think about Israel and the central role it plays in Jewish life — the kind of charged moment when members of spiritual communities can ask themselves what really matters and sometimes reach radically different conclusions.

Some versions of diasporism are secular, often hearkening back to the un-religious, anti-Zionist Jewish Labor Bund that arose in late 19th-century Eastern Europe — the same time and place where political Zionism was born — to agitate for Jewish rights in the European empires of the day. The Bund’s slogan of doikayt, a Yiddish word that roughly means “hereness,” has been adopted by younger left-

2 fathers backed draft; only 1 son came home After ordering his troops to invade Ukraine in February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a solemn promise young men performing compulsory military duty would not be sent to fight.

But the experiences of two young men from opposite ends of western Russia reveal a military ravenous for men to plow into the war, which Putin now describes as an existential fight against the West. The two faced heavy pressure to sign contracts that would have allowed commanders to deploy them to Ukraine indefinitely. Neither did so. Still, the young men’s fathers each felt their son had a duty to serve. One son returned home.

The other came back severely beaten and died of his wounds soon after, leaving his father, Nikolai Lazhiev, with unanswered, heartbreaking questions.

Lazhiev, who lives in an industrial town in the northern Karelia region, never opposed the war.

He just thought other people

wing Jews.

“This socialist, secular, liberatory philosophy,” said Molly Crabapple, an artist and writer working on a history of the Bund, “whether it was the Bund or the larger world of Yiddish socialism, is deeply interwoven into our heritage” and “can provide a moral compass and help people reject exclusionary and violent ideologies.”

Zionism, at least at its most doctrinaire, insists a Jew can achieve total realization as a Jew only by living in Israel. Shlilat ha-golah, Hebrew for “negation of the exile,” was an early Zionist slogan.

Diasporism, by contrast, holds the inverse: Jews must embrace marginality and a certain estrangement from Israel the country and perhaps even Israel the place.

“Anybody who cares seriously about being a Jew,” goes an epigraph to Magid’s book from late American theologian Eugene Borowitz, “is in Exile and would be in Exile even if that person were in Jerusalem.”

In 2024, anti-Zionism is the closest thing organized Judaism has to heresy.

WASHINGTON — With less than 10 months to go until the 2024 election, the nerve center of President Joe Biden’s bid for a second term is stationed not at his campaign’s headquarters in Delaware but within feet of the Oval Office.

The president and his chief strategist, Mike Donilon, have repeatedly discussed when to move him over to the campaign — perhaps after the 2022 midterm elections, then after the 2023 off-year elections and again at the end of 2023. Each time, no move happened after the president told aides he wanted to keep Donilon within walking distance.

Anita Dunn, the longtime Democratic operative who stepped in to help revive Biden’s fledging operation four years ago, is devising the reelection message again, even as she oversees communications at the White House. Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s deputy White House chief of staff and former campaign manager, is also splitting her day job with her role as one of the most powerful voices in the campaign.

So far, almost none of the people in the president’s inner circle have left for campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Del., prompting some donors and strategists to worry too much of Biden’s team remains

should fight it — not his only son, Andrei, 19, who was supposed to be shielded from active combat.

Despite Putin’s promise, Andrei was deployed to occupied Crimea, near the front, and died after severe beatings, apparently by members of his unit, in what his father suspects was a case of violent military hazing.

Askhabali Alibekov, a former paratrooper and father of four who lives far south, in the port city of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea near Ukraine, could not be more different from the soft-spoken Lazhiev. Alibekov is a brash, fast-talking anti-Putin activist and videoblogger who always opposed the war and went to jail for his antiwar posts.

Alibekov’s son, Mikhail, 21, was also doing his mandatory service and, like Andrei, was not supposed to be sent to Ukraine.

Alibekov thinks his son is alive today mainly because he refused to sign a contract — even though soldiers who don’t sign often face humiliation or beatings, activists say.

the religion, the foundational narrative of which is about returning from slavery to the Promised Land. Over centuries of exile, Jews have pledged, “Next year in Jerusalem” and prayed facing that city.

Places of pilgrimage dot Israel’s map — many in parts annexed or occupied after war.

And for most Jews, Oct. 7, in which Hamas killed or kidnapped nearly 1,500 Israelis, provoked solidarity and viscerally reminded them of Israel’s raison d’être. That is one reason most everyone in the American Jewish establishment, from the Republican Jewish Coalition to social justice-minded Reform rabbis, has steadfastly stood with Israel in the months since.

But some Jews have been repelled by Israel’s military response, which has killed approximately 23,000, according to officials in Gaza.

For Magid, a thriving 21st-century Judaism without Israel at its core must include a return to religion — “always the thing,” he said, “that’s going to keep us together.”

Members of the Northern New Mexico Jewish community gather for a march Sunday in downtown Santa Fe to mark 100 days of captivity for the 136 hostages, including as many as six Americans, still being held by Hamas in Gaza.

‘Because it’s our family’ Continued from Page A-1

Zarum Zandan, who has numerous family members in Israel, including her mother, nephews and nieces and cousins, was there when the war started.

“It’s very [close] to my heart, because it’s our family,” she said in an interview.

She helped organize the Jewish Community Relations Coalition shortly after her return, a coalition of different local Jewish organizations that has been working on advocacy, education and putting together events such as Sunday’s. She said she was happy with the turnout, especially considering the less-than-balmy weather.

“We’re here because we need to have the hostages released,” she said.

Marchers took to the streets of Santa Fe with signs commemorating 36 of the hostages who are still in captivity. Each sign bore a picture of a person and a bit of information about their relationships — “son,” “brother,” “daughter,” “sister.” Most of the hostages pictured were adults, but there were a couple of very small children among their numbers as well.

And why 36? It’s a multiple of 18, which symbolizes life in Judaism.

“We couldn’t do them all so we chose two times life,” said Devorah Levertov, who runs the Jewish Center with her husband Rabbi Berel Levertov.

When they got to the Plaza, Rabbi Levertov, Iannucci and other clergy led the attendees in prayer, including Psalms 20 and 122 in both Hebrew and English, as well as reading the names of the hostages still being held.

from the Middle East, but demonstrations in support of both Israel and the Palestinians, some drawing hundreds of people, have become part of life in the City Different. The local interest in what’s going on was visible on the route to the Plaza. A couple of the telephone poles the marchers passed bore “Free Palestine” stickers, while a couple others bore scraps of the remains of posters commemorating the Israeli hostages that someone had previously torn down.

Another rally in support of freeing the hostages will take place at the state Capitol at noon Tuesday, Rabbi Levertov said, and Iannucci, who is the chaplain for the state Senate, said the rabbi will give the opening invocation there to start the legislative ses-

sion around 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Some city politicians have also been weighing in. Newly elected Councilor Alma Castro has spoken out for the Palestinian side and in favor of a cease-fire, while Mayor Alan Webber was at Sunday’s rally.

“I’m here because like you, I share the concerns for the hostages and their families,” Webber said. “It’s unthinkable, absolutely unimaginable what they’re going through.”

With Martin Luther King Jr. Day coming up on Monday, Webber invoked a famous quote of King’s: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

“That’s the message of this community and always has been,” Webber said.

It’s unthinkable, absolutely unimaginable what they’re going through.”

the population into starvation.

Speaking on CBS, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. has been speaking to Israel “about a transition to low-intensity operations” in Gaza.

“We believe it’s the right time for that transition. And we’re talking to them about doing that,” he said on Face the Nation.

Israel launched the offensive after the Hamas attack killed some 1,200 people, mostly civil-

ians, and took 250 others hostage.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to press ahead until Hamas is destroyed and all of the more than 100 hostages still in captivity are freed.

The war has sent tensions soaring across the region, with Israel trading fire almost daily with Lebanon’s Hezbollah militant group and Iranian-backed militias attacking U.S. targets in Syria and Iraq. In addition, Yemen’s Houthi rebels have been targeting international shipping, drawing a wave of U.S. airstrikes last week.

Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, said his group won’t stop until a cease-fire is in place.

“We are continuing, and our front is inflicting losses on the enemy and putting pressure on displaced people,” Nasrallah said in a speech, referring to the tens of thousands of Israelis who have fled northern border areas.

Also Sunday, tens of thousands of people in Europe and the Middle East took to the streets to mark the 100th day of the war.

Opposing demonstrations either demanded the release of Israeli

hostages held by Hamas or called for a cease-fire in Gaza.

In Israel, supporters of the hostages and their families wrapped up a 24-hour protest in Tel Aviv calling on the government to win their immediate release.

Israel has been under growing international pressure to end the war in Gaza, but it has so far been shielded by U.S. diplomatic and military support. Israel argues any cease-fire would hand victory to Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since 2007 and is bent on Israel’s destruction.

A rare governor, Legislature faceoff?

week, flouting state law in the process.

It had scheduled a meeting for Friday in Santa Fe. New Mexico’s open-meetings law required the agenda to be made public at least 72 hours beforehand. That deadline lapsed without a word about what business the commission intended to conduct.

I phoned the commission office Wednesday to ask why the agenda had not been posted and to obtain a copy of the document. An employee said the meeting had been postponed until March 8. She didn’t know why.

After making more inquiries by phone and email, I eventually received a reply from Michael Sloane, director of the Department of Game and Fish.

“The meeting was postponed in

anticipation of having two additional members appointed and to have a full Commission prior to conducting business this year,” Sloane wrote in an email.

“An agenda was not posted because of the decision to postpone the meeting in anticipation of additional members being appointed.”

Why was the meeting scheduled in the first place if having the commission at full capacity was suddenly so important?

After nearly three years of the commission operating shorthanded, did a revelation strike the governor? Did she recognize that the law and good sense call for seven commissioners, not three or five, to oversee the Department of Game and Fish?

The more plausible explanation is Lujan Grisham is reacting to protect her power instead of acting to shore up a depleted commission, a circumstance

largely of her own making.

State Rep. Matthew McQueen, D-Galisteo, has refiled a bill to weaken the governor’s ability to shape the Game Commission. McQueen’s House Bill 23 would give the governor three appointments instead of all seven. Legislators would choose the other four members.

Lujan Grisham last year pocket-vetoed an identical bill. Her decision sets up a rare potential showdown in the 30-day legislative session that begins Tuesday.

If legislators are gutsy, they will fast-track McQueen’s bill, approve it again and deposit the measure on the governor’s desk during the session.

Lujan Grisham would have three days to either sign or veto the bill. Spiking it a second time would pose a moderate risk to Lujan Grisham.

Though her fellow Democrats domi-

nate the Senate and the House of Representatives, they could close ranks with Republicans to override Lujan Grisham’s veto. A two-thirds majority would be needed, difficult but not impossible.

Such a show of legislative strength would be extraordinary. Lawmakers too often cower from confrontation with the executive branch, fearing more vetoes of their bills if they cross the governor.

A similar circumstance has hurt the Game Commission. Lujan Grisham has been criticized by conservationists for micromanaging the very commissioners she appointed, even driving some out of office based on policy disagreements.

Lujan Grisham’s camp, of course, says the governor did nothing of the sort.

Game Commissioner Tirzio Lopez of Rio Arriba County told me all is well with the panel that went from being without a quorum to being unable to choose someone to chair meetings, when meetings actually are held.

“There have been no disruptions or

difficulties in conducting commission business,” Lopez wrote in an email.

“Furthermore, the commission has been able to complete many rule changes, which include adding extra free fishing days to make two free fishing weekends, and we were able to to establish a free fishing license for foster parents and children in foster care, or in tribal or CYFD custody.”

Such spin is predictable. Harder to forecast is whether the Legislature will hunker down to reform the Game Commission by putting its own stamp on the panel.

Otherwise, New Mexico is in for more of the same with a twist on an old saying: When the going gets tough, the governor will send reinforcements any year now.

On campuses, free speech is again debated Experts see generational shift as some seek to quash language they call harmful, even when it’s constitutionally protected

Students at Khan Lab School, a nonprofit independent school in Mountain View, Calif., last month. Students at the school can use a new AI tutoring bot developed by Khan Academy, a separate nonprofit group. Both nonprofits were founded by Sal Khan.

Promise, peril seen in chatbot tutors Despite hype from tech industry, education experts say benefits are yet to be demonstrated

By Natasha Singer

The New York Times

S

al Khan, the CEO of Khan Academy, gave a rousing TED Talk last spring in which he predicted AI chatbots would soon revolutionize education.

“We’re at the cusp of using AI for probably the biggest positive transformation that education has ever seen,” said Khan, whose nonprofit education group has provided online lessons for millions of students. “And the way we’re going to do that is by giving every student on the planet an artificially intelligent but amazing personal tutor.”

Videos of Khan’s tutoring bot talk amassed millions of views.

Soon, prominent tech executives, including Sundar Pichai, Google’s CEO, began issuing similar education predictions.

“I think over time we can give every child in the world and every person in the world — regardless of where they are and where they come from — access to the most powerful AI tutor,” Pichai said on a Harvard Business Review podcast a few weeks after Khan’s talk. (Google introduced an artificial intelligence chatbot called Bard last year. It has also donated more than $10 million to Khan Academy.)

Khan’s vision of tutoring bots tapped into a decades-old Silicon Valley dream: automated teaching platforms that instantly customize lessons for each student.

Proponents argue developing such systems would help close achievement gaps in schools by delivering relevant, individualized instruction to children faster and more efficiently than human teachers ever could.

In pursuit of such ideals, tech companies and philanthropists over the years have urged schools to purchase a laptop for each child, championed video tutorial platforms and financed learning apps that customize students’ lessons.

Some online math and literacy interventions have reported positive effects. But many education technology efforts have not proved to significantly close academic achievement gaps or improve student results like high school graduation rates.

Now the spread of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, which can

give answers to biology questions and manufacture human-sounding book reports, is renewing enthusiasm for automated instruction — even as critics warn there is not yet evidence to support the notion tutoring bots will transform education for the better.

Online learning platforms like Khan Academy and Duolingo have introduced AI chatbot tutors, and some tech executives envision over time, bot teachers will be able to respond to and inspire individual students just like beloved human teachers.

“Imagine if you could give that kind of teacher to every student 24/7 whenever they want for free,” Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI, said last summer on an episode of the Possible podcast.

(The podcast is co-hosted by Reid Hoffman, an early investor in OpenAI.) “It’s still a little bit science fiction,” Brockman added, “but it’s much less science fiction than it used to be.”

The White House seems sold.

In a recent executive order on artificial intelligence, President Joe Biden directed the government to “shape AI’s potential to transform education by creating resources to support educators deploying AI-enabled educational tools, such as personalized tutoring in schools,” according to a White House fact sheet.

Even so, some education researchers say schools should be wary of the hype around AI-assisted instruction.

For one thing, they point out, AI chatbots liberally make things up and could feed students false information.

Making the AI tools a mainstay of education could elevate unreliable sources as classroom authorities. Critics also say AI systems can be biased and often prevent teachers and students from understanding how chatbots devise their answers.

In fact, generative AI tools may turn out to have harmful or “degenerative” effects on student learning, said Ben Williamson, a chancellor’s fellow at the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh.

“There’s a rush to proclaim the authority and the usefulness of these kinds of chatbot interfaces and the underlying language mod-

els that power them,” Williamson said. “But the evidence that AI chatbots can deliver those effects does not yet exist.”

Another concern: The hype over unproven AI chatbot tutors could detract from more traditional, human-centered interventions — like universal access to preschool — that have proved to increase student graduation rates and college attendance.

There are also issues of privacy and intellectual property. Many large language models are trained on vast databases of texts that have been scraped from the internet without compensating creators. That could be a problem for unionized teachers concerned about fair labor compensation.

sued OpenAI and Microsoft over that issue.

There are also concerns some AI companies may use the materials educators input or the comments that students make for their own business purposes, like improving their chatbots.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, which has more than 1.7 million members, said her union was working with Congress on regulation to help ensure AI tools were fair and safe.

“Educators use education technology every day, and they want more say over how the tech is deployed in classrooms,” Weingarten said. “The goal here is to promote the potential of AI and guard against the serious risks.”

CITY, ST. JOHN’S COLLEGE PARTNER FOR PAID STUDENT INTERNSHIPS Johnnies are taking over Santa Fe: St. John’s College and the city announced a plan Wednesday to offer the college’s students paid internships across six city offices, including roles in economic development, affordable housing, tourism, and arts and culture, among others.

The internships, which will begin in summer 2024, will be open to students at St. John’s campuses in Santa Fe and in

Generations of Americans have held firm to a version of free speech that makes room for even the vilest of views.

It’s girded by a belief the good ideas rise above the bad, no one should be punished for voicing an idea — except in rare cases where the idea could lead directly to illegal action.

Today, that idea faces competition more forceful and vehement than it has seen for a century.

On college campuses, a newer version of free speech is emerging as young generations redraw the line where expression crosses into harm. There’s a wave of students who have no tolerance for speech that marginalizes. They draw lines around language that leads to damage, either psychological or physical. Their judgments weigh the Constitution but also incorporate histories of privilege and oppression.

“We believe in a diverse set of thoughts,” says Kaleb Autman, a Black student at the University of Wisconsin whose group is demanding a zero-tolerance policy on hate speech. “But when your thought is predicated on the subjugation of me or my people, or to a generalized people, then we have problems.”

A new understanding of free speech has been evolving on college campuses for years, marked by the introduction of safe spaces, trigger warnings and a rise in disruptive protests that silence speakers with offensive views. But the Israel-Hamas war and its rhetoric appear to be widening the fault lines and pushing students to demand that university leaders take a side between clashing versions of free speech.

It came to a head in December when leaders of three elite colleges were called to Congress to testify on campus antisemitism. With legalistic flourish, they took a stand for free expression as the Constitution and decades of case law define it, then faced weeks of backlash as opponents called them soft on antisemitism.

The fallout contributed to the Jan. 2 resignation of Harvard University President Claudine Gay, who faced mounting allegations of plagiarism that surfaced after the hearing. Her resignation followed the December ouster of Liz Magill of the University of Pennsylvania, who shifted her position on campus free speech amid the blowback.

Asked on Capitol Hill about balancing free speech and the safety of Jewish students, Magill told lawmakers Penn’s approach is “guided by the United States Constitution, which allows for robust perspectives.” A day later, amid pressure from donors, she said Penn’s policies needed to be “clarified and evaluated.”

She suggested rules rooted in the Constitution don’t do enough to protect students in a world with “signs of hate proliferating across our campus and our world in a way not seen in years.”

Campuses across the nation have confronted similar tensions amid rising antisemitism and Islamophobia.

Debate has raged over whether to police phrases like “from the river to the sea” and “intifada” — often used as pro-Palestinian chants but lately also seen by some as calls for the genocide of Jews. Columbia University is among several institutions that recently suspended pro-Palestinian student groups, citing their “threatening rhetoric and intimidation.”

Those types of phrases, however some perceive them, are “clearly constitutionally protected,” says Erwin Chemerinsky, a law scholar and dean of the law school at the University of California, Berkeley, which was the cradle of the free speech movement in the 1960s. Yet on all sides of the issue, he says, today’s students want to quash speech they don’t like, regardless of its legality.

“What I always hear now is how, when students are upset or offended, they phrase it as, ‘I feel unsafe.’ And I think it’s so important that we separate out the campus’ duty,” he says. “It’s not our role to make them safe from ideas that they don’t want exposed to. But that line, I think, has gotten blurred.”

Yet as the U.S. Education Department opens dozens of federal civil rights inquiries around antisemitism and Islamophobia, college leaders face pressure to counter hateful speech even if it’s constitutionally protected, Howard Gillman, chancellor of the University of California, Irvine, said at a panel on campus free speech last week.

Says Gillman: “There is increasingly now a sense of obligation on the part of campuses to do something.”

“The thing that I don’t know is, does anyone really have a principled position on this? Or is it just about the politics?” says Genevieve Lakier, a First Amendment scholar at the University of Chicago. She fears allegations of antisemitism are being used to silence pro-Palestinian speech, and the biggest threats come from donors and legislators.

Still, she sees a changing tide on college campuses. Students are increasingly suspicious of free speech arguments they say have been used to empower some and oppress others. Their version of free speech leaves no room for certain racial slurs, Lakier says, and it introduces new rules around pronouns.

Amid changing cultural views, certain kinds of language that were once tolerated are now seen as unacceptable, she says. “Except for a few outliers, that is, I don’t think, a bad thing.”

Annapolis, Md., and funded by an alumni donation. “Our students are self-directed learners, original thinkers and problem solvers, thanks to the rigor and scope of our program,” St. John’s College President Mark Roosevelt said in a news release announcing the partnership. “That makes them excellent candidates for these new internship opportunities from the city of Santa Fe.”

Researchers hoped to use the data to prove they could catch a rocket’s plume and eventually characterize the environmental effects of a space launch.

In recent years, the number of rocket launches has spiked as commercial companies — especially SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk — and government agencies have lofted thousands of satellites into lowEarth orbit. And it is only the beginning. Satellites could eventually total 1 million, requiring an even greater number of space launches that could yield escalating levels of emissions.

SpaceX declined to comment about pollution from rockets and satellites. Representatives for Amazon and Eutelsat OneWeb, two other companies working toward satellite mega-constellations, said they are committed to sustainable operations. But scientists worry more launches will scatter more pollutants in pristine layers of Earth’s atmosphere. And regulators across the globe, who assess some risks of space launches, do not set rules related to pollution.

Experts say they do not want to limit the booming space economy. But they fear the steady march of science will move slower than the new space race — meaning we may understand the consequences of pollution from rockets and spacecraft only when it is too late. Already, studies show the higher reaches of the atmosphere are laced with metals from spacecraft that disintegrate as they fall back to Earth.

“We are changing the system faster than we can understand those changes,” said Aaron Boley, an astronomer at the University of British Columbia and co-director of the Outer Space Institute. “We never really appreciate our ability to affect the environment.

And we do this time and time again.”

When a rocket like the Falcon 9 lifts off, it typically takes about 90 seconds to punch through the lower atmosphere, or troposphere, before reaching the middle atmosphere. It was at the top of the troposphere Parent began his pursuit, ultimately flying as high as the middle atmosphere, where the air’s density is so low he and Casey had to wear pressure suits and heavyweight gloves, as well as helmets that provided them with oxygen.

The middle atmosphere has seldom seen so much excitement. Commercial airliners seldom fly at those heights. Nor is there much terrestrial weather or pollution from the ground. It is thus calm, unspoiled and empty — except for the occasional rocket, which will pass through it for three to four minutes on its way to space. By the time a rocket curves into orbit, it will have dumped in the middle and upper layers of the atmosphere as much as two-thirds of its exhaust, which scientists predict will rain down and collect in the lower layer of the middle atmosphere, the stratosphere.

The stratosphere is home to the ozone layer, which shields us from the sun’s harmful radiation. But it is sensitive: Even the smallest of changes can have enormous effects on it — and the world below.

ANUJ SHRESTHA/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Earth’s middle atmosphere has never before seen the amount of emissions and waste a booming space economy, which has placed thousands of satellites into orbit, is leaving behind.

When Mount Pinatubo erupted in the central Philippines in 1991, it belched enough sulfur dioxide gas into the stratosphere to set off a multiyear cooling spell on Earth. That gas created sulfate aerosols, which warmed the stratosphere while blocking heat from hitting Earth’s surface. Some scientists worry cumulative exhaust from more rockets may affect the climate in a similar manner.

Today, rocket exhaust pales in comparison to the exhaust emitted by aviation. But scientists are concerned even small additions to the stratosphere will have a much bigger effect. Martin Ross, a scientist from the Aerospace Corp., a federally funded research organization in Los Angeles, compared Earth’s atmosphere to a barrel of muddy water that has settled — with muck at the bottom and a relatively clear top. If you add more dirt to the mucky bottom, it may go unnoticed. But if you add that dirt to the clear top, he said, it is likely to become cloudy or even mucky.

Just how rockets will affect that relatively clear top, the stratosphere, remains uncertain. But scientists are concerned black carbon, or soot, released from rockets will act like a continuous volcanic eruption, a change that could deplete the ozone layer and affect the Earth below.

In the 1990s, when NASA’s space shuttle and other rockets consistently launched from U.S. soil, several studies predicted the spacecraft would cause local ozone damage. One study even forecast a loss of as much as 100% — essentially creating a small ozone hole above Cape Canaveral that would allow more of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation to reach the ground, raising the risk of skin cancer, cataracts and immune disorders.

The studies relied on models and predictions alone, with no observational data. So Ross and his colleagues gathered data from high-altitude research flights, which did find local ozone holes in the shuttle’s wake. But they healed quickly and were not large enough to affect Cape Canaveral — at least not at the frequency of launches then, roughly 25 per year.

The same may not be true going forward. In 2023, SpaceX launched nearly 100 rockets, with most flights building its Starlink satellite constellation. It will soon be joined by Amazon, which is planning frequent launches for its Project Kuiper constellation, and other companies seeking substantial presences in orbit. Those satellites offer a range of benefits, including broadband internet almost anywhere.

But once the companies complete their constellations of up to thousands of orbiters, the launches

won’t end. Many satellites have a lifetime of five to 15 years, requiring satellite companies to loft replacements.

It is the beginning of a new era.

“I think we are at a stage in the space industry that we were at many decades ago in a number of our terrestrial environments,” said Tim Maclay, the chief strategy officer for ClearSpace, a Swiss company seeking to build sustainable space operations. “We see the prospect of development and we tend to race into it without a tremendous amount of forethought on the environmental consequences.”

While scientists are raising the alarm, they don’t consider themselves opponents of rocket companies or satellite operators.

“We don’t want to stop the space industry,” said Karen Rosenlof, a climate scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Chemical Sciences Laboratory, who says satellites provide incredible services to people on the ground. But she and others are asking for a set of regulations that will consider the environmental implications.

Rosenlof argues there are ways to reduce the impacts of the space industry without shutting it down. For example, if scientists find a threshold beyond which the space industry will start to harm the environment, it would make sense to simply limit the numbers of launches and satellites. Alternatively, the materials or fuels used by the space industry could be tweaked.

Boley agrees. “There are a lot of possibilities that could help us protect the environment while still giving access to space,” he said. “We just need to look at the big picture.”

Federal review finds relatively low risk to cannabis

By Fenit Nirappil, David Ovalle and Dan Diamond The Washington Post

Federal health officials determined marijuana poses a lower public health risk than other controlled substances and offers possible medical benefits before they proposed ending its designation as among the riskiest drugs, according to documents released Friday.

The extensive scientific review illuminates the rationale underpinning a recommendation last summer that marked a significant shift in how the federal government has treated a drug that is legal for a majority of Americans to purchase. It was the first time the Department of Health and Human Services has publicly acknowledged marijuana’s medical use.

The health agency in August recommended the Drug Enforcement Administration change marijuana’s classification as a Schedule I drug, a designation reserved for substances like heroin that have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. The DEA has yet

to act on the recommendation.

Medicinal cannabis is legal in 38 states and Washington, D.C. Federal officials proposed classifying marijuana as a Schedule III drug, in the same category as substances that can be obtained with a prescription like anabolic steroids, ketamine and testosterone.

In the analysis conducted by the Food and Drug Administration, officials determined marijuana is less harmful than other drugs. Federal officials previously declined to answer questions about their justifications for recommending rescheduling and released heavily redacted documents outlining their rationale in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by The Washington Post.

Matt Zorn, a lawyer in Texas, first released the unredacted documents Friday in his newsletter after successfully suing HHS for their release.

HHS confirmed the authenticity of the documents.

In October 2022, President Joe Biden directed his administration to expedite a review of whether marijuana should remain a Schedule I substance.

The move came after the federal government repeatedly rejected entreaties to reclassify the drug. When federal health officials conducted a scientific and medical evaluation for a 2016 review under the Obama administration, they concluded marijuana has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.

The 2023 FDA analysis determined chronic but not acute marijuana use can lead to physical dependence that is “moderate to low” and psychological dependence with a low likelihood of severe outcomes. Officials said dependence is “relatively mild” for most individuals but can be more severe with increased exposure.

“While marijuana is associated with a high prevalence of abuse, the profile of and propensity for serious outcomes related to that abuse lead to a conclusion that marijuana is most appropriately controlled in Schedule III,” the evaluation said.

Officials also determined “some credible scientific support” for some of the ways marijuana is being used as medicine. They found it has a

“currently accepted medical use” for nausea, vomiting and pain, but noted it did not find support for the drug providing benefit for epilepsy, anxiety and PTSD. “Additionally, no safety concerns were identified in our review that would indicate that medical use of marijuana poses unacceptably high safety risks for the indications where there is some credible scientific evidence supporting its therapeutic use,” the evaluation said.

Keith Humphreys, a former White House drug policy adviser, said he does not believe the science is particularly strong for using cannabis as medicine, particularly much-lauded claims it relieves pain.

He pointed out today’s marijuana products are increasingly potent. But with so many states already operating medical marijuana programs, HHS and FDA’s change of perspective “is a concession to reality,” he said.

“It’s out there already,” Humphreys, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, said of medical marijuana. “You can’t put the genie back in the bottle.”

Dieting has long been viewed as the path to smaller bodies and better health.

Stick to the right diet, the $75 billion U.S. weight loss industry may have you think, and you, too, can lose weight and keep it off.

The rise of new weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound has highlighted just how ineffective dieting has been for the millions of people who have tried it. In a 2021 clinical trial of semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy), for example, those taking the medication lost about 15% of their body weight in a little over a year, while those relying on just diet and exercise dropped only about 2%.

But there are many people who want to lose a few pounds for whom weight loss drugs are not the right choice. For those people, is old-fashioned dieting a good option?

In the short term, diets do seem to help most people lose at least a small amount of weight, whether it’s a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet or just plain calorie restriction, said Dr. Ellen Schur, director of the University of Washington Nutrition and Obesity Research Center.

But individual results can vary. In one 2018 clinical trial, for example, researchers asked 600 people to follow either a low-fat or a low-carb diet for one year.

While most participants lost weight — on average, 5% to 6% of their body weight, or 12 to 13 pounds, — about 15% gained weight during the study, and a few lost as many as 50 to 60 pounds.

It’s common, though, for people’s weight loss to plateau at around six to eight months, after which they are at risk of regaining that weight, said Dr. Maria Collazo-Clavell, an endocrinologist at the Mayo Clinic. Research suggests most people return to their previous weight within about four years.

For those who are successful at keeping their weight off, it’s not clear if it’s because of their genetics, health history or simply their life circumstances, such as having a supportive partner, a stable job or time to cook, said Kevin Hall, a nutrition and metabolism scientist at the National Institutes of Health.

When you lose weight, your body responds by increasing your appetite and reducing the number of calories you burn, Hall said.

He and others have estimated that for every 2 pounds of weight you lose, your metabolism slows by about 25 calories per day, and your appetite increases by about 95 calories per day.

So in other words, if you lose 20 pounds, your body will burn roughly 250 calories less each day while craving about 950 more.

To maintain your weight loss through dieting over time, you’ll have to continue eating less while resisting a rising appetite and slower metabolism, which is “increasingly difficult,” Schur said.

Dieting often results in cycles of weight loss and regain, and some research has suggested that can be harmful, said Kendrin Sonneville, an associate professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.

Some, but not all, studies have found weight fluctuation is associated with earlier death, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and depression; however, these studies sometimes include people who have lost and regained weight because of health problems, not just from dieting.

People sometimes think if they just “grit their teeth and white-knuckle it through” a diet to lose 10 or 20 pounds, “they can start to relax,” Hall said.

“That’s the wrong way to think about it.”

If you want to change the way you eat in order to lose weight, you have to sustain those changes “for the rest of your life,” he said. “Otherwise, you’re going to regain the weight.”

If you consume a lot of ultraprocessed foods, reducing your intake can be a sustainable approach. Short-term research has shown those who consume mostly ultraprocessed foods tend to eat more and gain more weight than those who consume minimally processed foods.

Collazo-Clavell suggested adopting a Mediterranean eating pattern, which focuses on healthy fats, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits and vegetables.

THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN

A-7

MLK changed Santa Fe woman’s ‘life trajectory’ Might be ‘golden opportunity’ LEGISLATURE

THE 2024 SESSION

By Scott Wyland

swyland@sfnewmexican.com

As a teenager, Madeleine Wright wanted to attend the rally near the Lincoln Memorial where the Rev. Martin Luther King would give his now famous “I have a dream” speech to an enormous crowd.

Her mother told her “no.”

It was unclear how a high school girl would travel from Detroit to Washington, D.C. and back, or how her family, struggling to get by, would pay for it.

Wright, 76, wasn’t able to go to the historic event, but she nevertheless was inspired by his words.

His message about how Black Americans should feel pride in their heritage and dare to not only dream but to take positive action resonated with her.

“It definitely influenced my life trajectory in terms of community service,” Wright said. “We were very much aware of King and Malcolm X — that people were speaking about the change that we had to bring about.”

She tapped into the spirit of the Civil Rights movement that King helped lead in which African Americans were encouraged to not accept the status quo as previous generations had, but to explore new ideas and make a change.

In the 1960s, the way was paved for her generation to redefine Black identity, she said, which included reconnecting with the African cultures and histories from which Black Americans had been severed.

“At that time, we weren’t really educated about Black African American history, and the connection between Africa and America,” Wright said. “We have a culture and we have a history that is important.”

Sociologists and authors like Ta-Nehisi Coates have written how Black Americans suffered unique traumas in assimilation, stemming from being brought to this country in chains and having their cultures, native languages and African names erased by slavers. Then, they were still systematically discriminated against after slavery ended.

Growing up in Detroit, Wright experienced prejudice when racism was prevalent.

She remembers expecting to

get a plum part in a school play because she knew the material better than anyone, but instead was relegated to a smaller part in which she was an unseen voice behind a curtain.

She wasn’t allowed inside the home of a white girl from the South.

This was a taste of the grim racial divide she encountered visiting relatives in Arkansas, where Jim Crow was then in full force.

She recalled encountering a “whites only” restroom while searching for the “colored” one she was allowed to use. She also had her first experiences in being limited to dining in certain restaurants and having to sit in a movie theater balcony.

But some early seeds of racial equity were taking root.

Wright recalled a grade school teacher telling her she must go to college, as if nothing else would do. That was about the time the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 that separating children in schools based on race was unconstitutional.

The next step, which would prove a long and painful one, was actually getting schools to integrate.

King was a champion of improving educational opportunities for Black Americans, with the idea of making the system open to all, Wright said, adding that the notion of colorblind education was not seriously considered in earlier generations In the decades since King was killed, progress on race relations and equity has been uneven and mixed, she said. Especially troubling, she said, is the current push in some states to ban books from school libraries that address racism and to erase from history courses the bigotry Black Americans have had to endure.

Yet at the same time, Black people have made inroads, with far more holding leadership roles in every field, whether it’s politics, the arts or filmmaking, Wright said.

“Even [as] those these horrible things are happening, lots of wonderful things are happening,” Wright said.

Wright earned a doctorate in education.

She decided to explore the distinct perspectives and

psychological challenges of Black Americans, particularly women. She taught black psychology at Houston Madeline Community Wright College. She also was an instructor for women’s rites of passage at her church and wrote the book Sisters Helping Sisters.

In the early 1970s, her husband was stationed in Scott Air Force Base in southern Illinois near St. Louis, a Ku Klux Klan stronghold at the time, Wright said.

After she was hired the area’s community college, she spearheaded a Black history celebration in which an Air Force band played a medley of Black songs that appealed to both Blacks and whites, she said.

“It was not part of the Klan agenda,” Wright said, “but everybody participated.”

Later, while teaching at Houston Community College, she approached school officials and proposed starting African dance classes. They were supportive, and soon the school’s social sciences and art departments chipped in start-up money.

Teachers were brought in from Black dance companies.

This, she said, legitimized and raised the profile of the program, which helped in fundraising and recruiting teachers.

She credits King for making her and others more willing to ask those in authority to try something outside the white cultural box. Before, it might have been seen as too much of a risk.

She said she focuses her innovation on arts and culture because they can cross ethnic lines.

In Santa Fe, where Wright has lived for 13 years, she founded the Soul Festival that showcases Black music, art and dance.

The group has recruited wellknown African arts instructors to Santa Fe to teach classes.

It has also sponsored Black History Month celebrations and two Juneteenth events.

“He [King] said we can move from danger to hope,” Wright said. “I definitely think my life was part of that.”

“He said, ‘Here, let me show you,’” Jackson said.

Then he opened his shirt, revealing a scar stretching from his collar bone to his belly button, she said.

King didn’t press charges against the woman because she was mentally ill, Jackson said. The attack, though, was an early sign of the hazardous path he had chosen.

Lawmakers will again push for more tribal control over how Indigenous children are educated

By Bella Davis

New Mexico In Depth

A proposal to create a trust fund that would give tribes in New Mexico more money and control to run their own education programs is back for the 2024 legislative session.

Supporters are optimistic about their chances this year after last year’s unsuccessful attempt to include it in the state budget. There are reasons for optimism.

Tucked into the Legislature’s proposed $10.1 billion budget is $50 million for the new fund. Rep. Derrick Lente, a Democrat from Sandia Pueblo, says top lawmakers have assured him the fund will get another $50 million, for $100 million total, during the 30-day session.

The question is whether Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham will go along.

If the $100 million request navigates the sometimes-perilous budgeting process successfully, tribes would use annual interest earned on the fund for language revitalization efforts and career readiness programs, among other needs.

“What we want in tribal communities is for our elders, our own people to teach our children about what’s important to our communities,” Lente told New Mexico In Depth. “We need to be fluent in our language. We need to know how our government works. Without this type of programming, we’re just going to continue to be assimilated into Western society.”

Starting in 1819, the federal government removed Native children from their families and sent them to boarding schools that were often far from their homes. Officials attempted to strip them of their cultures, including by punishing them for speaking their languages and renaming them with English names.

Even after the policy ended about 50 years ago, state and federal control over education funding has limited tribes’ ability to teach their children.

In New Mexico — which had the third-highest concentration of federal boarding schools, according to a 2022 report from the Interior Department — tribes can apply for grants from the state under the Indian Education Act. They’re required to spend the money within a year.

That’s challenging, experts say, partly because the Public Education Department can be slow to process the money, which advocates say isn’t enough to begin with. When the money does come out, many tribes don’t have the staffing levels needed to quickly use it due to underfunding.

The trust fund, while not meant to replace the Indian Education Act, would empower tribes to build sustainable programs by providing reliable funding that would go to them directly, beginning in fiscal year 2026.

Lente argues lawmakers have to act on the proposal now, before it’s too late.

The state has seen record revenue in recent years, largely fueled by oil and gas production, with an expected $3.48 billion surplus going into the next fiscal year. But analysts warn the windfall won’t last.

Regis Pecos, a former governor of Cochiti Pueblo and longtime education reform advocate, told the committee that if the trust fund passes, tribes would no longer have to be “begging, piecemealing our approach to be in control of the quality of education for our children.”

New Mexico has long failed Indigenous students, as a landmark 2018 court ruling, Yazzie/Martinez v.

State of New Mexico, highlighted, Pecos said. The trust fund would be a step toward correcting that.

Last year, Lente sought $50 million to get the

fund started but later pulled the bill. He’d become chair of the House Taxation and Revenue Committee that January, a position he planned to use to get more support from other lawmakers in the interim and make a bigger ask later.

The 30-day session kicks off Tuesday, and Lente says he’s done that work.

He is a voting member of the Legislative Finance Committee and was able to make sure $50 million for the fund is in the Legislature’s proposed budget.

Lawmakers who will hold sway in the coming budget discussions have assured him he’ll get the other $50 million during the session, Lente said.

He’s also met with the Cabinet secretaries of the Public Education Department and the Indian Affairs Department, neither of whom “gave any indication that they could not support this,” Lente said.

A spokeswoman for Lujan Grisham wouldn’t say whether the governor supports the proposal.

“Our focus continues to be on delivering significant resources to nations, tribes and pueblos as soon as possible,” spokeswoman Maddy Hayden wrote in an email, adding the governor’s budget recommendation includes $26.5 million for the Indian education fund.

Last year, the governor’s administration recommended $25.2 million go to that fund. Lawmakers ultimately appropriated $20 million.

On top of the doubled investment request, the updated version of the bill would create a temporary task force made up of representatives of each of the state’s 23 tribes who would design a distribution formula. Lente made the change in part as a response to concerns that cropped up during the 2023 session.

Some observers doubted $50 million — scaled down from Lente’s initial hope for $250 million — would generate enough interest for each tribe.

There were also questions over whether the proposed formula was fair, particularly to the Navajo Nation, which has a significantly larger population than any other tribe in the state.

Under last year’s bill, 90% would have been distributed equally among the tribes and the remaining 10% would’ve been based on the number of New Mexico students each serves.

Despite the task force addition, though, Lente faced some pushback during the November meeting of the Indian Affairs Committee.

“You said that the task force would be formed after the legislation passes. What if the legislation passes and Navajos are not in agreement with it?” asked Rep. Anthony Allison (Diné), D-Fruitland.

Lente said it’s been a challenge to get all the tribes on the same page on education reform, but that can’t be a reason to not take action. The task force would give each tribe a chance to have their voices heard, he said.

Sen. Benny Shendo Jr., a Democrat from Jemez Pueblo, agreed with Lente.

“I’d rather have a conversation about how we’re going to distribute the money when the fund is set up than not even get to the point of setting it up. We can’t get caught up in how we’re going to distribute,” Shendo said.

But Sen. Shannon Pinto (Diné), D-Tohatchi, wasn’t convinced. She said while she’s in full support of “what we’re moving forward to do in education for our children,” she couldn’t sign off on the proposal without knowing it had the backing of the Navajo Nation. She was the only committee member to vote against endorsing the bill.

To Pinto, creating the trust fund before deciding on distribution felt like “putting the cart before the horse.”

“If we had substantial revenue year after year after year, and this could come and go, we could just say, ‘Well, let’s wait ‘til everybody comes to the table and maybe in 10 years we can look at this again,’ ” Lente responded. “This money is not going to last 10 years.”

A door-sized panel suddenly fell out of the side of the plane, leaving a gaping hole. By chance, though, no one was sitting in the seat next to the panel. Also helpful was that the incident, which caused the cabin to lose pressure, occurred shortly after takeoff, when the plane was still at a relatively low altitude; the 171 passengers were still wearing their seat belts — and the plane was well within range of the airport it had just left in Portland, Ore. The crew safely landed back at the airport within 20 minutes and everyone on board survived, albeit some with injuries and emotionally jarred.

Still, that’s cold comfort: When it comes to safety, the public should be able to rely on more than happenstance. And another thing that’s become clearer is this near-tragedy was likely preventable, as Boeing chief executive

Dave Calhoun himself implied by referring to “our mistake” at a Jan. 9 company town hall.

There’s more to discover about exactly what happened, but federal investigators have already developed a strong working hypothesis: Bolts that hold in place the Boeing 737 Max 9 plane’s door plug, a fuselage panel near the rear of the aircraft, were either loose or missing. This particular airplane had only been delivered to Alaska Airlines nine weeks prior, so the problem probably wasn’t wear and tear on the parts. After grounding all of its Boeing 737 Max 9 planes for inspections, United Airlines found loose bolts on several of them. That puts not only Boeing on the spot but also the manufacturer that installed the door plug, Spirit AeroSystems.

Ditto the Federal Aviation Administration, which approved these planes for delivery.

The FAA investigation announced Thursday is a start toward accountability.

This debacle is bound to raise concerns that Boeing was unduly focused on returning to profitability as fast as possible after the 2018 and 2019 Boeing 737 Max 8 crashes

in Ethiopia and Indonesia that killed 346 people. Follow-up investigations after those accidents revealed alarming design flaws in that aircraft and a disturbing culture of nonchalance at the company.

Another troubling aspect of this case is that the cockpit voice recorder was erased, leaving no usable information for the investigation. The FAA allows this device to overwrite and start a new recording every two hours. Though Flight 1282 lasted much less than that, no one manually stopped the recording device in time to keep it from automatically erasing what had been recorded. The National Transportation Safety Board says the same has happened in 10 prior airplane investigations in the past five years. The European standard is 25 hours. Indeed, most smartphones can record for 18 hours or more. The FAA needs to require all U.S. planes to have 25-hour recorders by the end of the year. This isn’t a technology flaw; it’s a regulatory one.

What’s also increasingly apparent is how much credit the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282

LE T TERS T O THE EDIT OR

pilots and flight attendants deserve. Cellphone video taken by passengers and audio of the conversations between the cockpit and Portland air traffic controllers (recorded by the latter) show these professionals responding quickly and calmly during what had to be one of the most terrifying situations of their lives. Pilots lowered the plane to 10,000 feet, to counteract the loss of cabin pressure.

Meanwhile, flight attendants ensured passengers stayed in their seats with oxygen masks on. Their names have not been released yet, but these crew members deserve a place in aviation history alongside that of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who emergency landed a US Airways plane on the Hudson River 15 years ago.

Even though commercial air travel within the United States remains safe, with no fatal accidents in the past 15 years, neither technology nor regulation can ensure that equipment functions perfectly all the time. And when it fails, the training and character of its crew are the last line of defense. The team on board Alaska Airlines 1282 rose to the occasion.

Support LeDoux Candidates like Sam LeDoux out of Española need all the support we can give them. Municipal races are often overlooked, and cities and counties suffer from poor governance or candidates with low qualifications.

LeDoux is a notable exception. As an educator and public servant, LeDoux has many years of deep knowledge about policy and community work.

More importantly, Española has been in his heart from Day 1. You won’t find a more qualified candidate or one with as much character. He has always represented his hometown while developing a skill set that rivals anyone in Washington. People like LeDoux are the future we need.

Why the ads?

I cannot remember ever seeing on TV any info or ads promoting Western New Mexico University.

But recently, there have been ads almost daily, during evenings when I am watching primetime, promoting WNMU. Coincident with these not inexpensive ads have been the frequent articles about questionable spending by senior administrators the university. A reasonable person can only draw together these parallel events (promo ads and questionable expenses) and wonder where the state of New Mexico finds it senior administrators. A quick question about this flood of promotions — is the administration trying to do some preemptive reputation cleanup?

Religion isn’t needed My reading of Shadi Hamid’s piece (“Dilemmas of living in a world less religious,” Commentary, Jan. 10) is that he feels our current emphasis on “privatism,” the cult of personality and the lack of civic ethics is due to the diminution of religious training. I take issue with this. I think there are many ways society can develop ethics, compassion and a social conscience without introducing God and religious doctrines into the picture. I believe our country was founded on such an idea. A nontheist can be ethical, compassionate and principled, and a secular society can be guided by these “nonreligious” values as well.

in June to protect more than 330,000 acres of federal land nearby. Drilling and fracking would harm our wildlife, including bobcats, badgers and more than 100 bird species that call the canyon area home. Thanks to these actions, their habitats are protected for the next 20 years. This is particularly vital since most of the surrounding area has been leased to oil and gas companies. I hope by 2043, when the protections expire, more renewable energy usage will mean little to no need for oil and gas.

In that case, no interest groups will be pushing to frack and drill in the last undeveloped acres of Greater Chaco Landscape.

Kudos to State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard for extending protections for more than 70,000 acres around Chaco Canyon (“Drilling restrictions near Chaco extended to state lands,” Dec. 14, 2023). Her actions complement Interior Secretary Deb Haaland’s move

The hypocrisy in Rep. Stefani Lord’s letter (“The fentanyl crisis is preying on our kids,” My View, Jan. 13) had me laughing aloud, then feeling utterly disgusted. If one were to replace the word “fentanyl” with “guns,” the letter would ring true as well, yet Lord and her fellow Repub-

licans in this state resist every effort to “awaken to the crisis and unite in [our] response.” Lord, you have been an utter failure in recognizing when and where we are “at a crossroads” and championing “children’s fate.”

Try a compass It seems that, so far, Plaza box replacement ideas continue to be fraught with controversy. How about embedding a large, brass compass rose at the Plaza’s center? It could help orient visitors who find the city directionally confusing. It’s inoffensive, neutral and practical.

And if well-executed, could itself be a noteworthy art object.

ecently, I read an article about the tragic loss of 22-year old Albuquerque Navy Veteran, Elijah Mirabal. On the night of Oct. 29, 2020, he was killed in a cocaine deal gone bad. His killer — a 17 year old who had obtained a black market automatic handgun on Snapchat. In fact, it was later reported that the drugs, the guns and the deal had all been arranged on social media with ease.

We simply cannot ignore the factors at play that led to this tragedy. When you can buy drugs and handguns with illegal triggers with a few hundred dollars cash by simply posting a brazen request on social media, something larger is at play.

Modern gangs and organized criminal activity are far removed from the old days of Al Capone.

Today, these criminal organizations and networks have modernized and created a robust, adaptive and, quite frankly, a terrifying machine of recruitment, operation, distribution and violence. It is not just guns and drugs though. Law enforcement has now raised the alarm on human trafficking, fueled by our crisis at the southern border.

Our state cannot afford to wait another day debating nominal or misguided attempts at reform.

That is why this legislative session, I will be championing several bills, including changes to our Racketeering Act, to target these criminals and put an end to the violence plaguing our communities.

With this effort, along with proposals to support law enforcement, I am confident we can finally make our communities safer. Moving the dial on crime is not easy, but we believe targeting career criminals and supporting law enforcement is a commonsense step forward. To do this effectively, we collaborated with local law enforcement, the Department of Public Safety, the Attorney General’s Office (now the Department of Justice), district attorneys from around the state and concerned citizens on these key pieces of legislation. We expect to have bipartisan support from the governor and the Legislature.

At the same time, we know that these sentencing reforms will not work without a sufficient number of officers policing our streets. That is why we have introduced ambitious and calculated proposals for retaining experienced officers and recruiting officers from other states.

We can all agree that our crime problem is out of control, and we must adjust our approach if we really want to see results. This two-pronged approach of targeting career criminals and supporting law enforcement is a sensible, workable framework, and if we work together, we can make our state, our communities, schools and homes safer places for all New Mexicans.

Coaching legend found success at all levels

By Will Webber and James Barron sports@sfnewmexican.com

A

familiar name in the local coaching ranks passed away Jan. 5 as James “Jim” Thrash died at the age of 77.

A former assistant coach and head coach at Albuquerque Manzano High School and later Fresno State, Thrash was an assistant on Manzano’s staff when the boys won the Class 4A state championship in 1973 and 1974, beating Albuquerque High and legendary coach Jim Hulsman in the finals both times.

Thrash later served as Manzano’s head coach from 1975-77 before accepting a job as an assistant at Fresno State in 1977. He was with the Bulldogs for six seasons, helping them win four Pacific Coast Athletic Conference championships and the 1983 NIT title with a win over DePaul at Madison Square Garden.

Thrash returned to Albuquerque shortly thereafter, stepping aside from coaching to spend time with his wife, Denise, and two young sons. He got into commercial real estate and rose through the ranks into a management position.

He did dabble in coaching, leading his sons’ AAU teams to statewide success.

He parlayed that into the head coaching position at the College of Southern Idaho in 1996. He led the team to a 28-4 record in his second season, earning the conference’s coach of the year award.

He was named an assistant at Purdue in 1998, helping the Boilermakers reach the Sweet 16 his first year and to the Elite Eight in The Pit the following year.

Purdue lost to Wisconsin for the right to go to the Final Four.

From there he became a scout for the Golden State Warriors and Charlotte Hornets, working for Charlotte for eight years. He ended his NBA tenure with two years in Atlanta.

When we last left the Santa Fe High Demons boys team, it was stinging from one of the worst defeats it had suffered in years after a 79-46 loss to Rio Rancho Cleveland to open the APS Metro Boys Basketball Championships on Jan. 9.

Four days later, they won their last three games in the consolation bracket to secure ninth place with a 67-63 win over Rio Rancho on Saturday. In doing so, Santa Fe High continued its trend of running into familiar foes. It started with a 71-45 win over Albuquerque High, the team the Demons will see to open District 5-5A play Jan. 23.

Freshman’s big game hands Bruins their first loss Watkins scores 32 — her sixth 30-point game this year — to avenge earlier defeat by cross-town rival

By Beth Harris

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — JuJu Watkins lie on the court, surrounded by her teammates, the final buzzer having faded.

The freshman sensation was cramping after scoring 32 points in No. 9 Southern California’s 73-65 victory over second-ranked UCLA. A trainer used a handheld massage gun on Watkins’ legs. She couldn’t stop smiling and laughing after anticipation

had kept her awake the night before .

“She just goes all-out, all the time,” USC coach Lindsey Gottlieb said.

Watkins and the Trojans sent the Bruins to their first loss of the season Sunday, leaving No. 1 South Carolina as the nation’s lone undefeated team.

“As a team we just were just so eager on defense,” Watkins said.

“I fed off my teammates’ energy.

You just want to be a part of that.

On the defensive end, we played a great game. The whole team did it.”

It was the freshman sensation’s sixth 30-point game of the season and first since Dec. 3 for the Trojans (13-1, 3-1 Pac-12), who extended their home winning streak to 17 games.

“I felt like this was going to happen,” Gottlieb said. “Our preparation and mentality was going to give us a chance to win the game.”

McKenzie Forbes added 18 points as the Trojans ended a nine-game skid against their crosstown rival. UCLA (14-1, 3-1)

AUS TR ALIAN OPEN

Defending champ Djokovic has to fend off rookie in opener

By John Pye

The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Until he took on defending champion Novak Djokovic at Rod Laver Arena on opening Sunday in Australia, Dino Prizmic had never played a Grand Slam match.

The 18-year-old Croatian qualifier, who was born seven months after Djokovic made his Grand Slam debut in 2005, made it last as long as he could.

He unsettled the 24-time major winner before Djokovic finished off the match 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-4.

Djokovic has developed a record at the Australian Open that no man can match, with 10 titles here among his unprecedented career haul. He later said he’d been feeling “under the weather” for four or five days but credited Primzic’s talent.

The first set played out just about as expected. From there, it became quite a ride.

Prizmic took the second set off Djokovic and went up a break in the third, stunning a capacity crowd, before the world’s No. 1-ranked player broke back and took the set.

Prizmic didn’t give up when he trailed 4-0 in the fourth, either, saving a breakpoint before getting a service break back. He saved three match points at 5-3 down and made Djokovic serve it out. He then saved a further two match points before it ended in 4 hours and 1 minute.

The first of three Sundays — an extra day was introduced at Melbourne Park to try to reduce the number of post-midnight finishes — didn’t have quite the desired outcome.

game of the tournament — to eventual champion Albuquerque Volcano Vista 66-26 — but beat Albuquerque Atrisco Heritage Academy and Highland to reach the ninth-place game against Albuquerque High. After taking a 33-28 lead into the fourth quarter, the Lady Bulldogs outscored Santa Fe High 16-6 the rest of the way for a 44-39 win.

Those two teams will play each other at Bulldog City on Jan. 24. uuu

The United Basketball League birthed into existence this week, announcing a goal of launching in time for a 2025 season.

According to a press release on Jan. 8, it’s geared toward domestic teams in local markets, focusing on player development independent from the NBA. It also offers a fan-to-founder program that gives fans a chance to buy into a local franchise to receive voting power on team operations and player personnel moves. The league is also utilizing an ambassador initiative where at least three roster spots will go to entertainers, influencers or other professional athletes.

The league has not announced

Betts, UCLA’s leading scorer and rebounder, was held to 10 after not starting for the first time this season after being sick during the week.

“We were just trying to keep fighting, trying to get to the basket,” Osborne said. “We kept giving up buckets and we couldn’t get stops.”

All five of UCLA’s starters were in foul trouble, with Londynn Jones, Kiki Rice and Lina Sontag fouling out in the fourth.

Watkins was just 8 of 22 from the field and missed all six of her 3-point attempts, but she went 16 of 16 from the free throw line and had 10 rebounds.

“She’s going to score,” UCLA coach Cori Close said, “but we didn’t execute what we said we were going to do and we didn’t have each others’ back and you

needed four hours to beat Thiago Seyboth Wild 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (6). He later admitted fears his first-round match against Seyboth Wild would end like his friend Daniil Medvedev’s did at last year’s French Open: in an upset.

No. 12 Taylor Fritz needed a medical timeout to get his left ankle taped in the second set before he recovered to beat Facundo Diaz Acosta 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 in a seesawing four-hour match.

Frances Tiafoe, the 17th seed, beat Borna Coric 6-3, 7-6 (7), 2-6, 6-3 in 3 1/2 hours and Daniel Elahi Galan needed almost five hours to beat Australia’s Jason Kubler 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (3), 4-6, 7-6 (8).

Djokovic’s late finish meant defending women’s champion Aryna Sabalenka didn’t start until 11:41 p.m. local time. The No. 2 seed didn’t waste much time until right near the end, ousting 18-year-old Ella Seidel 6-0, 6-1 in 53 minutes on her seventh match point.

In the start of Monday’s action, Coco Gauff began her quest for back-to-back Grand Slam singles titles with a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.

The 19-year-old American, who won her first major at the U.S. Open in September, wrapped up victory in exactly one hour.

Earlier, there was a surprising defeat for Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova as she was beaten 6-1, 6-2 by Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine.

Seventh-seeded Vondrousova missed the Adelaide tune-up event with a hip injury and struggled on serve throughout, hitting seven double faults as she was well-beaten by the world No. 93-ranked player. what cities will host its teams, so there’s a lot of mystery surrounding the actual make-up of the league. It will, however, begin this September with a 16-team UBL Showcase, a 16-team “incubator system” that will set the framework for actual league play in 2025.

All this to say Santa Fe may be a long shot, but at least a person can dream. Right? uuu

The Mesa Vista boys’ run through Santa Fe Indian School’s Braves Invitational was truly a team effort — even on the bench.

Trojans head coach Thomas Vigil missed the start of the Friday’s 63-59 semifinal win over Santa Fe Prep and Saturday’s 55-48 title win over the host Braves because he was taking classes as he works toward his administrative education degree.

Dannen targeted Fisch on Saturday Jedd Fisch and flew to Tucson, Ariz., on Sunday to complete the deal and bring the Huskies new head coach with him back to Seattle.

Washington scheduled a news conference to introduce Fisch for Tuesday.

He also posted a thank you note to Arizona.

Fisch has received rave reviews for his work at Arizona.

He took over a program in 2021 that had sunk to the bottom of the Pac-12, and had the Wildcats

competing for a conference title in 2023. The 11th-ranked Wildcats finished 10-3, were third in the Pac-12 standings and beat Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl.

Arizona was expected to have a conference championship-contending team as it entered the Big 12 in 2024.

Fisch’s move comes as Arizona tries to shore up financial difficulties before its move to the Big 12 next year.

Athletic director Dave Heeke announced a plan last Thursday to help the school recover from a university-wide $240 million miscalculation of projected cash on hand. The plan includes hiring freezes and a pause on all major construction projects with the athletic department still on the hook to repay a $55 million loan issued during the pandemic.

about to heat up.

A week after leading the University of Michigan to a national title, Harbaugh will meet with the Los Angeles Chargers about their head coaching vacancy this week, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

Besides the Chargers, Atlanta, Carolina, Las Vegas, Seattle, Tennessee and Washington have openings.

Harbaugh, who went 44-19-1 in four seasons as San Francisco’s coach and took the 49ers to the Super Bowl after the 2012 season, has a prior relationship with the Chargers and the Spanos family that owns it. He played quarterback for the Bolts from 1999-2000 before retiring after the 2001 season.

J.J. McCarthy entering NFL draft, skipping senior season ANN ARBOR, Mich. — J.J. McCarthy, Michigan’s national-championship winning quarterback, is skipping his senior season to enter the NFL draft.

McCarthy made the announcement Sunday, a day after being begged to stay.

“The decision was not easy and how could it be — I love my teammates, I love my coaches and I love it here in Ann Arbor,” he wrote on his social media accounts.

Many Michigan players have announced they’re going pro, including senior running back Blake Corum, who potentially could have returned for a fifth season, and junior linebacker Junior Colson.

more than eight points at AT&T Stadium this season before falling behind 27-0 in the first half.

The loss will raise questions about the future of Dallas coach Mike McCarthy after the Cowboys lost their playoff opener at home for the second time in three postseasons under the former Green Bay coach.

Dallas is the first team to win at least 12 games in three consecutive playoff seasons without making a conference title game.

The Cowboys surged to the NFC East title in the final two weeks and had a chance to be home at least twice this postseason. Instead, they head into a suddenly uncertain offseason.

“Just shocked, honestly,” Prescott said. “From the beginning of the game, we got beat.

There’s no which way around it.

There’s no way to sugar coat it.

Shock.”

Romeo Doubs had a careerhigh 151 yards receiving a week after being hospitalized with a chest injury as the Packers rolled after finishing the regular season 6-2 to grab the NFC’s final playoff spot.

“We came in here with a mindset of we’re going to dominate,” Love said. “A lot of people were counting us out, and we

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Logan Eschrich came to Buffalo to witness the snowstorm, and he stayed for the shoveling Sunday.

Once the professional storm chaser saw the Buffalo Bills invite fans to help dig out a snowfilled Highmark Stadium for their delayed playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, now scheduled for Monday, Eschrich couldn’t resist.

Sniffling and shivering from the cold, Eschrich detailed the seemingly impossible task he and the estimated 85-person shovel crew faced while being compensated $20 an hour. Winds whipped at 30 mph, and snow was falling at a rate of 2 inches per hour at what was supposed to be the game’s 11 a.m. kickoff, which has been pushed back to Monday at 2:30 p.m.

“It would have been absolutely impossible [to play]. We could barely see the next row down from us. And unfortunately, it’s still that way,” Eschrich said. “We made progress shoveling, but not much at all.”

With the storm’s brunt expected to wane by Sunday night, the National Weather Service’s forecast for Monday called for a chance of snow showers in the morning and a high of 19 degrees, but with strong wind making it feel like minus-5.

Jan. 15, 1990 - While one Pacific storm crossed the central Rockies, another approached the West Coast. The northern mountains of Utah were buried under 17 to 35 inches of snow while the mountains of southern Utah received another 12 to 16 inches.

Washington hired Arizona’s Jedd Fisch to succeed Kalen DeBoer as the next coach of the Huskies on Sunday.

A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press that Fisch had agreed to a seven-year contract that will pay him an average of $7.75 million annually.

Less than a week after playing for the national championship, the Huskies moved quickly to fill the vacancy created when DeBoer left for Alabama on Friday.

Green Bay safety Darnell Savage returns an interception off Dak Prescott untouched for a touchdown just before halftime in the Packers’ 48-32 win over the Cowboys in Arlington, Texas.

didn’t care about that.”

The Packers have never lost in six trips to AT&T Stadium, and left little doubt Sunday with a 48-16 fourth-quarter lead before two late Dallas TDs. Facing the NFL’s fifth-best defense, Green Bay matched its Super Bowl-winning team from 2010 for the most points in a playoff game. That was also on the road, a 48-21 victory at topseeded Atlanta in the divisional round.

First-half catches of 22, 26 and 39 yards helped get Love going, and the fourth-year QB finished 16 of 21 for 272 yards as the Packers scored touchdowns on six of their first seven offensive pos-

sessions in their highest-scoring game since 2014.

One of them was set up by Prescott’s first interception at the Dallas 19-yard line, from Jaire Alexander after he was questionable coming in when he sprained an ankle during the week.

A 46-yard grab by Doubs early in the second half helped finish off the Cowboys after they had scored 10 points on either side of the break. Doubs, Luke Musgrave and Dontayvion Wicks had TD catches.

Prescott finished 41 of 60 for 403 yards, with all three of his touchdowns to tight end Jake Ferguson.

LaPorta that put Detroit ahead 21-10 midway through the second quarter.

The Lions acquired Goff and a pair of firstround picks for Stafford three years ago.

Continued from Page B-1 “Jared was really efficient.

Celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Dear Readers: Please enjoy this excerpt of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day down in Alabama with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little Black boys and Black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning: My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims’ pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring...
