Obama expected to pick Carter to replace Hagel By Craig Whitlock and Missy Ryan The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will nominate Ashton Carter, a physicist with long experience at the Pentagon, as his new secretary of defense, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with the decision. If confirmed by the Senate, Carter would succeed Chuck Hagel, the former Nebraska senator who is being pushed aside by the White House after less than two years in the job. Hagel, a Republican, fell out of favor with Obama and the president’s inner circle as the U.S. military became embroiled in a new war in the Middle East, a challenge that is expected to preoccupy the Obama administration for the remainder of its term. Although Carter has more experience as a technocrat than as a wartime leader, his extensive nationalsecurity credentials and support for his nomination in Congress made him an appealing choice.

Scientists from the state’s research universities said Tuesday that modern New Mexico’s drought isn’t as bad as the one in the bone-dry 1950s, but it has potential to worsen. New Mexico had seven consecutive years of below-average rain and snow from 1950 to 1956, said David Gutzler, a professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at The University of New Mexico. By comparison, the state’s precipitation levels were below average in three of the six years between 2008 and 2013, he said. But an important difference

makes dry years more threatening now than before, he said. Temperatures are much warmer than in the ’50s, making it harder to replenish water supplies, even when it rains, Gutzler told the state Legislature’s Water and Natural Resources Committee. Most reservoirs in New Mexico had below-average storage at the end of October, despite “abundant summer rains,” Gutzler and the four other academics said in their report. He also said accumulation of winter snowfall at higher elevations has been poor, meaning less water in springtime for rivers.

And they intensified efforts to market Kurdish oil independently, arguing that the government had withheld payments to Kurdistan that were badly needed to keep up the fight against the Islamic State in the army’s absence. Now, Prime Minister Haider alAbadi’s government has agreed to pay the salaries of Kurdish security forces, known as the peshmerga, and also will allow the flow of weapons from the United States to the Kurds,

The top pay a teacher can earn in the United States ranges widely — from $52,325 a year in Oklahoma City to $106,540 in the District of Columbia — according to a new national report. It takes an average of 24 years for a teacher to reach that cap. In New Mexico, which has one of the lowest starting salaries at $32,000, teachers can come close to earning their maximum pay in a much shorter time span — within six or seven years — but then they can expect their earnings to stagnate between $52,000 and $55,000 annually for the rest of their career, a toppay range that falls even below the average U.S. teacher salary. The national report on teacher pay, “Smart Money, What Teachers Make and How Long It Takes and What It Buys Them,” is being published Wednesday by a Washington, D.C.-based think tank and teacher advocacy organization, the National Council on Teacher Quality. The council is funded in part by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a conservative nonprofit educational policy group. The report relies on salary data

Chicago OKs $13 minimum wage plan

The early results of Black Friday sales may have been a disappointment for the nation’s retailers, but not for the automakers. Car companies on Tuesday reported the industry’s best November sales pace in years. Analysts said manufacturers sold an estimated 1.3 million vehicles during the month, an increase of about 3 percent from the same period a year ago. The closely watched seasonally adjusted annual sales rate for the month topped 17 million vehicles — the highest November rate recorded in a decade. “It looks as though the market is coming in very, very strong,” said Alec Gutierrez, an analyst with the auto research firm Kelley Blue Book. Sales of new cars and trucks in the United States have grown steadily through the year, and the industry is on pace for its best annual performance since 2007. Lower gas prices have been particularly beneficial for sales of pickups and sport utility vehicles. The major automakers generally posted solid gains, with the exception of Ford Motor. General Motors, the largest American manufacturer, said it sold 225,000 vehicles in November, a 6 percent gain from the same month last year. Ford, the second-biggest domestic carmaker, said its sales fell 2 percent during the month to 187,000 vehicles. Much of the decline can be attributed to a 10 percent decline in pickup sales. Chrysler, the smallest American manufacturer and a subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, said its sales rose 20 percent in November to 170,000 vehicles. Among the foreign manufacturers, Toyota said its sales increased 3 percent, Honda reported a 5 percent gain, and Nissan posted a 3 percent decline.

Cyber Monday sales hit $2.04 billion NEW YORK — Online shoppers set a set a single-day spending record on Cyber Monday, despite deals being stretched out this holiday season.

That represents the heaviest online spending day in history and the first to surpass $2 billion in sales, said the firm, which tracks online sales.

In brief W.Va. shooter held grudges MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — An ex-convict who owned a towing company made good on his grudges, police said Tuesday, killing his partner, his business rival, his ex-girlfriend and the woman’s new boyfriend before firing a gun through his head in the cab of his pickup. Posting a message to Facebook as police hunted him down after the rampage, Jody Lee Hunt said he wanted to see that his victims “received their fair pay of hurt.” The shootings began Monday morning and ended Monday night when his body was found in the pickup in some woods.

Federal immigration officials granted the family of Jose Antonio Ramirez Serrano an extended humanitarian visa after the governor sent a request, Martinez spokesman Mike Lonergan told The Associated Press. In a letter last week to Homeland Security Investigations Acting Special Agent in Charge Frederick Hernandez, Martinez asked the federal authorities to expedite the parents’ visas because they were important to his recovery.

An American couple are free to leave Qatar after being cleared of wrongdoing in the death of their 8-year-old adopted daughter, Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday. A statement from Kerry said “no further appeal” will be filed by authorities in the Persian Gulf state and the travel ban will be lifted on Wednesday. The couple, Matthew and Grace Huang, “will be free to travel,” the statement said.

Report shows drop in patient harm Hospitals can be perilous for patients because of preventable infections, drug errors and falls. But new data released Tuesday show the danger has waned over the past few years. A federal research agency found a 17 percent decline in such errors from 2010 to 2013, according to the report. Using methods developed by health care quality experts, it estimated that 50,000 fewer patients died in the hospital and about $12 billion in health care costs was saved as a result of the decline.

NEW YORK — Hershey is looking at replacing the high-fructose corn syrup in some of its products with sugar. Will Papa, chief research and development officer at The Hershey Co., said the company uses a mix of sugar and highfructose corn syrup in its products but that it is “moving more toward sugar.” A switch to sugar would make Hershey a high-profile example of the move away from high-fructose corn syrup in the food industry.

New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque expunged a third of the watermelon-sized tumor from the Ciudad Juárez-born boy during an 11-hour surgery. Federal agents helped the family seek care for Jose after First Baptist Church of Rio Rancho members saw him during a missionary visit. Martinez then got involved and sought an extended visa for the boy to receive treatment in New Mexico.

CHICAGO — Chicago’s City Council approved a 57 percent boost in the minimum wage, gradually raising it to $13 an hour by 2019. The 44-5 vote Tuesday came at the urging of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Democrat, who faces a re-election vote in February. Opponents, including those who said the increase wasn’t enough and those who warned it would put Chicago businesses at a disadvantage, were overcome by a strengthening national move to boost pay for minimumwage workers, currently making $8.25 an hour throughout Illinois. The minimum wage is “about making sure nobody who works raises a child in poverty,” Emanuel said after the vote. “You cannot have a thriving small business on a workforce that is living on subsistence wages.” With Congress ignoring President Barack Obama’s Sept. 1 call to raise the federal minimum to $10.10 from $7.25, states and cities have plunged ahead, mandating higher pay in Washington and Oregon, as well as Seattle, San Francisco and Oakland, Calif. Voters in Republican-leaning Alaska, Arkansas, Nebraska and South Dakota endorsed increases in referendums last month. California’s minimum wage would increase to $13 a hour, the highest for a state, under legislation introduced Monday. The lopsided vote in Chicago belied the friction of a debate that has lasted months. Alderman Tom Tunney told the council to consider the impact on businesses already under pressure. “None of us dispute the fact that wages need to go up,” Tunney said. “We have got to protect small businesses.” Alderman Bob Fioretti, a Democrat challenging Emanuel in the 2015 mayoral race, called the $13-an-hour ordinance a good beginning. “It is a first step on the road to get workers the dignity they deserve,” he said. “In order to be truly a worldclass city, we must continue the fight for $15.” Almost two dozen City Council members had backed a $15 wage, which increased pressure on Emanuel to push for raising the minimum. Tuesday’s vote creates a disparity between the Illinois wage and that of the state’s largest city. The Democratic-controlled legislature is considering a bill that would raise the statewide $8.25 minimum to as high as $11 dollars. “Raising the minimum wage in Chicago and across Illinois is the right thing to do for all hardworking families,” Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, said in an emailed statement.

divided between more-centrist old timers and a young guard of hard-line ideologues. The country experienced a brief period of unity over the summer as the military waged a 50-day war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip in response to weeks of heavy rocket fire. But the government otherwise squabbled over numerous issues, including the budget, the collapse of U.S.-brokered peace talks, Jewish settlement construction and how to confront a wave of Palestinian attacks in Jerusalem. The differences escalated last week when Netanyahu pushed a piece of legislation defining Israel as “the Jewish state.” Although its 1948 Declaration of Independence already does this, Netanyahu says the country must enshrine this at the constitutional level to send a message to the country’s enemies. Critics say the wording that Netanyahu favors would undermine Israel’s democratic character and harm the rights of its Arab citizens. Both Lapid and Livni condemned the legislation. Peace talks with the Palestin-

ians broke down last spring, beginning a chain of events that included the Gaza war, a recent spate of deadly Palestinians attacks, mostly in Jerusalem, and a deterioration in relations between Jews and Arab citizens of Israel. There are no signs that peace talks will resume soon. In Brussels, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry declined to comment on the “internal politics” of Israel. In the West Bank, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki said opinion polls indicate the next Israeli government may be “more right wing and extreme.” He said this could bolster international support for the Palestinian cause. Netanyahu broke up his coalition a day after a late-night meeting with Lapid, meant to patch up their differences, ended in failure. “We are sad to see that the prime minister has chosen to act without consideration for the national interest and to drag Israel to unnecessary elections,” Lapid said.

Jordan wants 2-state solution UNITED NATIONS — Jordan’s U.N. envoy said Tuesday she will be trying to get the U.N. Security Council to agree on a resolution before Christmas that would press for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ambassador Dina Kawar, the Arab representative on the 15-member council, told a group of reporters that there are Palestinian and French drafts. The push for Security Council action follows the failure of U.S.-brokered peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, this summer’s 50-day war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian faction that controls the Gaza Strip, and the recent upsurge in violence sparked by disputes in Jerusalem.

Lebanon says it has detained wife of ISIS leader custody about 10 days ago while carrying fake IDs, the officials said.

nese military official identified the woman as Saja al-Dulaimi who was held by Syrian authorities and freed in a prisoner exchange with the Nusra Front, Syria’s al-Qaida-linked branch, earlier this year. The official said the woman “confessed during interrogation” that she was al-Baghdadi’s wife. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations. In March, the Nusra Front freed more than a dozen Greek Orthodox nuns in exchange for the release of dozens of female prisoners by the Syrian government. A woman named Saja al-Dulaimi was reportedly on the list of prisoners freed by Damascus. A judicial official said the interrogation of the woman was being supervised by Lebanon’s military prosecutor, Saqr Saqr, and that a DNA test was

underway to confirm that the child is her son. Experts said it would be difficult to confirm whether the woman is indeed al-Baghdadi’s wife. It was unclear what would have brought the woman and child to Lebanon, where ISIS controls no territory and enjoys only small — although growing — support in some predominantly Sunni Muslim areas. The detentions added to the mystery that continues to surround al-Baghdadi, who has a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head. He has only made one known public appearance — a sermon he delivered in July at a mosque in Mosul just days after IS declared him the head of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the territory the group controls in Syria and Iraq. Last month, Iraqi officials claimed he

Pay: Nationally, average top salary is $75K Continued from Page A-1 from 115 school districts; Albuquerque is included, but Santa Fe is not. Recent national reports indicate that the average salary for a teacher is somewhere between $55,000 and $56,000. Nancy Waymack, managing director for district policy for the National Council on Teacher Quality, said few national reports look at the difference between starting and ending pay for teachers. “Depending on how quickly a teacher advances through his or her salary schedule, that can make a big difference on his or her earnings,” Waymack said in a telephone interview Tuesday. That, in turn, can determine whether a teacher stays in the profession or stays within a district or state. Young teachers in particular, she said, may be considering such life decisions as “where they will live for the next few years, whether or not they will buy a home, whether to have children or not — all those decisions can be influenced by how much money you are making.” The average maximum teacher salary nationwide is about $75,000 — $15,000 higher than the average maximum salary of a teacher in Albuquerque, according to the report. That district ranks 110th in the survey for starting pay ($32,081) and ending pay ($59,275) — relative to the cost of living. When living costs aren’t considered, Albuquerque still ranks near the bottom. Tracie Oliver, executive director of human resources for Santa Fe Public Schools, said the gap in teacher pay between the local district and Albuquerque Public Schools is fairly narrow. But Santa Fe has higher housing costs, and its teachers earn less than those in Albuquerque by at least a few thousand dollars per year. New Mexico’s three-tier licensure and pay system starts teachers — who must have a bachelor’s degree — at $32,000. (That pay rate, still one of the nation’s lowest for beginning teachers, was increased from $30,000 last year, when Gov. Susana Martinez pushed for a raise.) Within five years, teachers in New Mexico must move to Tier 2 by fulfilling certain requirements, such as creating a dossier and receiving positive teacher evaluations. Tier 2 teachers earn $40,000 to $42,000, Oliver said.

Teachers who earn a master’s degree plus additional graduate credits can choose to move into Tier 3 within another three years and can earn about $52,000, Oliver said. (They can also choose to stay in the Tier 2 range.) Thus, within the span of six or seven years, a New Mexico teacher’s salary can jump by about $20,000. But with the average ending salary for teachers in Santa Fe Public Schools at just $55,000, the subsequent raises earned by teachers who have achieved Tier 3 status are often negligible. Capital High School teacher Jamie Holladay, a Tier 3 instructor, said the small annual pay bumps are “kind of insulting.” Holladay recalled earning somewhere around $47,000 as a Tier 2 teacher and said some teachers wonder whether the extra work to achieve a Tier 3 designation is worth a $5,000 salary increase. Grace Mayer, president of NEA-Santa Fe, also questioned the value of the Tier 3 status, saying, “It’s a lot of work to do to reach it, and you have to do it while you are teaching. Most of our teachers are level 2, and the ones who are level 3 have to work 20 years to get a bump. It can be decades before you get a substantial increase [at that level].” Oliver agrees there are not many

incentives at that pay level. For instance, a 30-year teacher in Santa Fe who has a master’s degree plus 45 extra graduate credits may earn $55,110, but a 30-year teacher with a master’s degree and no additional graduate credits earns only a few hundred dollars less, at $54,700. Oliver said the district is continuing to work with its Competitive Wage Committee to find ways to raise teacher salaries based on performance and experience. She said a “handful” of Santa Fe teachers who have taught for more than 30 years and have picked up extra credits for teaching experience are earning another $10,000 or so more by the time they retire. In Albuquerque, some teachers who work beyond 30 years and meet other criteria can end their career with a salary of around $69,000. Waymack said New Mexico’s system of helping teachers earn near their maximum potential early on “is certainly better than the alternative — you wouldn’t want a system that starts out low and takes a long time to get to a maximum.” But, she said, over time, it’s not a very competitive salary scale.

was wounded in an airstrike. The U.S. has not confirmed those reports, and al-Baghdadi released a new audiotape days after he was purportedly hit. The Lebanese daily As-Safir first reported the detention of the Islamic State leader’s alleged relatives, saying the woman and boy were taken into custody near a border crossing point with Syria. It said the arrest came in “coordination with foreign intelligence agencies.” If the pair’s identities are confirmed, the detentions could give Lebanese authorities leverage in their attempts to reach a prisoner-exchange deal with militants from the Islamic State group and the Nusra Front. The extremists have been holding more than 20 Lebanese soldiers and policemen hostage since August.

Drought: Farming decline disputed Continued from Page A-1 “We’ve had four straight years of really crummy snowpack,” Gutzler said. Warmer temperatures, notably from March through May, have made it harder for accumulated snowfall to eventually fill up reservoirs, the research team said. In sum, New Mexico’s drought is “not as bad as it can get,” Gutzler told committee members. But, he said, certain forecasters see a break forthcoming, projecting that periodic climactic patterns known as El Niño could ease the drought in New Mexico and other Western states. No lawmaker challenged the researchers’ conclusions on temperatures getting warmer and less water reaching reservoirs. But several contested a separate section of the report that focused on declines in farming and the wealth created by agricultural enterprises, especially in Southern New Mexico. Legislators said the inference that farms use enormous amounts of water for relatively little economic gain is erroneous. The academic research team included in its report an analysis by the federal government that showed farm income in the state’s overall economy dropping from more than 30 percent in 1929 to about 3 percent in 2009.

the military but first joined the Pentagon in 1981 as a civilian analyst, working on missile defense, the nuclear arsenal and programs to ensure the continuity of government in the event of nuclear war. One of his early projects was to assess the merits of a pie-inthe-sky scheme to make it difficult for the Soviet Union to track MX missiles by deploying them on giant blimps over the United States. As his career progressed, Carter became the rare highranking Pentagon official who had a granular understanding of how its most sophisticated weaponry worked. “I think his particular skill set is the ability to combine a technical intelligence, a knowledge of the technical, esoteric dimensions of defense, with a broad policy perspective that’s informed by history,” said Joseph Nye, who worked with Carter on the Harvard faculty and served with him at the Pentagon during the Clinton administration. In addition to studying the minutiae of theoretical physics, Carter wrote an undergraduate thesis at Yale on the Latin writings of 12th century Flemish monks. “There was

no relationship between them in my mind except that both fascinated me,” Carter said of his education in history and physics, according to a short autobiographical paper he wrote for Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government in 2007. “I liked dusty archives, learning to decipher manuscripts in medieval script … Physics was entirely different: clean and modern, logical and mathematical.” Carter also has an earthy side that displayed itself during his stints at the Pentagon. Former colleagues said he speaks plainly and, at times, can curse like a drill sergeant. According to his autobiography, he was fired from his first job at a Philadelphia car wash at age 11 “for wise-mouthing the owner.” Among other occupations that he listed from his pre-college years were gas-pump attendant, hospital orderly, fishing boat crewman and counselor for a suicideprevention hotline. Carter is set to become the first deputy defense secretary to ascend to the top since 1994, when William Perry replaced Les Aspin, a former congressman who resigned after a short and turbulent tenure.

D-Las Cruces, said farming remains an integral part of New Mexico’s economy. He said it even may rival oil as the top economic producer in the state, if ancillary dairy and food businesses are considered. Chile and cheese processing plants are just some examples of businesses built on farming, he said. Cervantes called the report incorrect in portraying agriculture as a declining industry or one that is not important to the modern economy. “We can use the statistics to get to that result, but it’s not a fair result,” said Cervantes, who grew up on a farm. “… The reality is that we’re producing more food on fewer acres than we ever have.” Republican Rep. Paul Bandy, a rancher from Aztec, said Cervantes had correctly found holes in the report. Bandy said the section suggesting that agriculture is in decline is best described by a quote from Mark Twain: “There are lies, damned lies and statistics.” Another farmer, Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell, said automation had cut jobs on farms and ranches, but agricultural businesses have never been more efficient. He said that, while sitting in the committee room at the state Capitol, he could command certain operations at his dairy with a tap of his mobile phone.

with the government in Baghdad as intermediary. “Now the priority really is to confront ISIS,” Hoshyar Zebari, Iraq’s finance minister, said, using an acronym for the Islamic State, in an interview Tuesday after emerging from the Cabinet meeting to complete the deal. In reaching a deal, al-Abadi, who has been prime minister for less than three months, has further distanced his government from a legacy of bitter sectarian and ethnic division under his predecessor, Nouri al-Maliki. As prime minister, al-Maliki deeply alienated the Kurds and enraged Iraq’s Sunni Arab minority with his confrontational personality and policies that were seen as exclusive and abusive. “The new team, under Abadi, is a cooperative team, a positive team,” said Zebari, a Kurdish politician who was Iraq’s foreign minister in the al-Maliki government. With relations with Kurds now nominally mended, alAbadi’s Shiite-led government faces a tougher task, but a critical one, in reaching an accommodation with the Sunnis. Relations had grown so hostile in recent years that many Iraqi Sunnis welcomed Islamic State jihadis as their defenders against the government and the Iranian-backed Shiite militias allied with it.

Reconciling Sunnis with the central government is widely seen as an essential step to retaking land from the Islamic State. Al-Abadi has backed a plan — supported by the U.S. — to set up local National Guard forces that would fight alongside the Iraqi army. But that plan has stalled, as have intermediate steps to arm Sunni tribes, in the face of opposition by some Shiite factions, who worry that the government would be raising a Sunni army that could then turn on Iraq’s Shiites. The oil deal, which put a final imprimatur on a temporary pact that was agreed to three weeks ago, also represented a significant victory for the United States, which has made a priority of pushing the Kurds and the central government to settle their political and economic differences. U.S. officials had expressed fear that if the two parties did not reach an arrangement, the country would break up, with the Kurds pushing forward on longstanding ambitions for independence. Secretary of State John Kerry, who was attending a NATO conference in Brussels with al-Abadi, praised the agreement. “This has been a long time in coming, and it is a very significant step forward.” The deal also appeared to be a blow to the ambitions of Turkey, which had positioned itself as the savior of the Kurds.

NEW YORK — U.S. health officials on Tuesday released a draft of long-awaited federal guidelines on circumcision, saying medical evidence supports the procedure and health insurers should pay for it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines stop short of telling parents to have their newborn sons circumcised. That is a personal decision that may involve religious or cultural preferences, said the CDC’s Dr. Jonathan Mermin. But “the scientific evidence is clear that the benefits outweigh the risks,” added Mermin, who oversees the agency’s programs on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. These are the first federal guidelines on circumcision, a brief medical procedure that involves cutting away the foreskin around the tip of the penis. Germs can grow underneath the foreskin, and CDC officials say the procedure can lower a male’s risk of sexuallytransmitted diseases, penile cancer and even urinary tract infections. The CDC started working on the guidelines about seven years ago, when a cluster of influential studies in Africa indicated circumcision might help stop spread of the AIDS virus. “The benefits of male circumcision have become more and more clear over the last 10 years,” said Dr. Aaron Tobian, a Johns Hopkins University researcher involved in

one of the African studies. But the guidelines are important, because the rates of newborn male circumcision have been dropping, he added. The guidelines were published in the Federal Register Tuesday. For the next 45 days, the CDC will receive public comment before finalizing them next year. They are likely to draw intense opposition from anti-circumcision advocacy groups, said Dr. Douglas Diekema, a Seattle physician who worked on a circumcision policy statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2012. “This is a passionate issue for them and they feel strongly that circumcision is wrong,” said Diekema, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington. Indeed, the head of one group did argue against the CDC’s conclusions on Tuesday, saying they minimize potential complications from the procedure. In the new guidelines, the CDC says there is now strong evidence that male circumcision can: u Cut a man’s risk of getting HIV from an infected female partner by 50 percent to 60 percent. u Reduce their risk of genital herpes and certain strains of human papillomavirus by 30 percent or more. u Lower the risk of urinary tract infections during infancy, and cancer of the penis in adulthood. CDC officials are recommending doctors tell parents of baby boys of the benefits and risks of circumcision.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Bobby Keys, a saxophonist and lifelong rock ’n’ roller who played on recordings by Buddy Holly and John Lennon and performed one of the all-time blowout solos on the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar,” has died at his home in Franklin, Tenn. He was 70 years old. Keys’ career dated back to the 1950s. He met the Stones in the mid-’60s while they were on the same bill at a state fair in San Antonio, Texas. Keys’ memoir Every Night’s a Saturday Night was published in 2012.

OAKLAND, Calif.— Legendary Apple CEO Steve Jobs had seven words for a subordinate when he learned that a rival company was about to introduce a program that would let music fans buy songs anywhere and play them on Apple’s iPod devices. “We may need to change things here,” Jobs said in a terse 2005 email that was shown to jurors in federal court Tuesday. It was the opening day of trial in a billion-dollar antitrust lawsuit that accuses Apple Inc. of using unfair tactics to maintain its dominance in the digital music business. Attorneys for an estimated 8 million consumers and iPod resellers say Jobs’ email spurred an internal campaign to keep Apple’s popular iPods free of music that wasn’t purchased from Apple’s own iTunes store. By updating the iTunes and iPod software to block music from competing online stores, Apple maintained a closed system that discouraged consumers from buying competing music players, plaintiffs’ attorney Bonny Sweeney argued Tuesday. Plaintiffs’ attorney Patrick

Coughlin also showed jurors a 2003 email from Jobs, written about the launch of another competitor’s online music Steve store, which Jobs said, “We need to make sure that when Music Match launches” their store, “they cannot use iPod.” Apple lawyers deny the company competed unfairly. And while Jobs died in 2011, he is a central figure in the classaction case. Sweeney said she will show a video of Jobs testifying in a 2011 deposition later this week. Jobs’ statements have turned out to be pivotal in other antitrust cases that Apple has faced in recent years, including one in which a judge found Apple conspired with publishers to set e-book prices. In another, a federal judge cited “compelling evidence” that Jobs was a central figure in a conspiracy by leading tech companies to abstain from hiring each other’s employees. A Stanford economist will testify later in the iPod trial that Apple overcharged iPod buyers by nearly $350 million. Under federal antitrust law, the Cupertino, Calif., company could be ordered to pay three times that amount if jurors agree that Apple’s actions were anticompetitive.

Save children’s insurance program

ealthy children have a brighter, healthier, happier future. So, I feel particularly thankful that Congress had the wisdom to create the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) back in 1997. CHIP covers children whose families’ incomes are too high to qualify them for Medicaid, but not high enough that they can afford private health insurance. It was created with bipartisan support and has helped cut the number of uninsured children in half. Funding for this crucial program is up for renewal this year, and Congress must act before it expires. Without quick action, our state will lose critical money and thousands of kids in our state may lose the health coverage they depend on to stay healthy and ready to learn.

Dangerous ideas Daniel Gordis (“In Jerusalem, a new holy war,” Nov. 23) conflates Judaism and Zionism. Arguing that Jews will always be despised, and only political Zionism and an aggressive settler state — Israel — will ever allow Jews to feel safe, he focuses on the attack on a Jerusalem synagogue. This should be condemned as should its celebration by some Palestinians (the celebratory behavior

recently by Israeli Jews in Israel as the Israeli Defense Forces murdered many hundreds of Palestinians goes unmentioned). Gordis, however, sees this as evidence of the existential hatred that necessitated the establishment of the Israeli state. But is not this exceptionalism and the Israeli state’s failure to recognize the fundamental rights of Palestinians, the continual expansion onto Palestinian lands and perpetual destruction of Palestinian homes that has sparked these outbursts? There are many Jews, including Israelis, who feel that Zionism is neither necessary nor liberating. To paint all Jews with this dangerous

ideology is itself anti-Semitic. James C. Faris

o far, the shuttle service designed to woo college students downtown after dark is an experiment that is fizzling out. The pilot program was an initiative from Mayor Javier Gonzales to help boost the nighttime economy by providing rides for college students. From 6 to 11 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, people can take the shuttle from 1600 St. Michael’s Drive to the Sheridan Avenue transit center — for free. Hardly anyone is using the service, with one three-day stretch in October seeing no riders at all. Perhaps college students, who often are under 21, aren’t going downtown to bars because they are under age and can’t get in. The target for downtown nightlife might need to be young professionals rather than students. Maybe students can’t afford bar prices, even if they are old enough to buy booze legally. Whatever the reason, the shuttles are not being used. When the program winds down Dec. 20, we see little reason to continue it, and we expect a city report presented next week to come to the same conclusion. Resources are limited, and public transit dollars have to be spent wisely. However, trying new routes and new services is not a bad idea — the Santa Fe Pick-Up shuttle that helps ferry tourists around town is a valuable perk for visitors. Latenight (and really, is 11 p.m. that late?) shuttles don’t seem to be popular. But that doesn’t mean that more frequent shuttles on the south side to help get people to grocery stores or doctor’s offices might not be worth exploring. Shuttles, too, could help people find rides to apply for Medicaid or food benefits, running more frequently than buses. This experiment didn’t work. However, the city should consider using shuttles to help people without transportation get around town with less difficulty. Keep experimenting to help the most people get moving.

The past 100 years COMMENTARY: JOE NOCERA

Uber’s management needs to grow up

he Uber app is a thing of beauty. You click a button, and it immediately shows you your location. You hit another button, and it tells you how quickly an Uber car will arrive to take you where you want to go. If you want a ride during a heavy commuter time, it will charge you more — surge pricing, as they call it at Uber — but you’ll know in advance how much extra, and you’ll be given a chance to decide whether to accept or not. On the app, you can keep track of the car that is coming to get you. Sure enough, the car arrives, you hop in and off you go. The fare is charged via the app, so no cash changes hands between the driver and the customer. Uber does what the best Internet companies do. It disrupts a business model that has existed for a very long time. In the case of Uber, that industry is the taxi business, which, almost everywhere, is highly regulated. Taxi drivers hate Uber. In many cities, they protest against it — or fight it in court. In some cities, a service like Uber’s is against the law. But, if you live in a place like New York City, Uber is a godsend. It is nearly impossible to get a cab in Manhattan when it is raining, or during the “shift change” that starts at around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, right when people are getting out of work and need a taxi most. There are only 14,000 or so yellow cabs in Manhattan, which is not nearly enough. Thanks to Uber, getting a ride someplace is much easier than it was before the company arrived on the scene. What’s more, unlike many startups, Uber appears to be a pretty well-run company. Although it is now five years old, it

is already in more than 200 cities. It dominates the rival car services like Lyft. And it has a valuation of around $17 billion. So how does all of that — the cleverness to come up with the idea, the skill to create the company, the discipline to make it work — square with the portrait of Uber that has emerged this week? It appears to be a company run by juveniles. Last month, Ben Smith, the editor of BuzzFeed, published an article about a conversation he had had with Emil Michael, a top Uber executive, in which Michael suggested that Uber might do “opposition research” into the private lives of reporters, especially Sarah Lacy of Pando Daily, who has been a fierce critic of the company. Michael thought that he was speaking off the record, but even so. It’s the sort of revenge fantasy that one would expect a serious corporate executive to have outgrown. The BuzzFeed article unleashed a torrent of other criticism about the company. Uber’s chief executive, Travis Kalanick, once told GQ magazine that the company should be called “Boober” because it made it so easy for him to get women. The company has reportedly run a dirty-tricks campaign against Lyft, including ordering rides that are then canceled, and trying to damage its ability to complete a round of financing. Uber has been rumored to track the rides of its customers, in violation of its own privacy rules. And so on. Peter Thiel, the wellknown investor, has described Uber as the most “ethically challenged” company in Silicon Valley. (Thiel, it should be noted, has money in Lyft.) Part of the problem is that, to an

unusual degree, Uber has an “us-versusthem” mentality. That attitude manifests itself when the company is fighting taxi regulations or other obstacles the taxi establishment places in its path. But it also seeps into the way it views everyone it comes into contact with, including journalists. But part of it is that there simply isn’t anybody in Silicon Valley willing to tell Uber’s principals to grow up. They have a hot company that is disrupting an outmoded industry — and, therefore, they are lionized, no matter how boorish their behavior. They are like the star football player at State U. who can get away with anything because he scores touchdowns on Saturday. Engineering talent and business savvy don’t necessarily impute maturity. One of the smartest things Google’s founders did was hire Eric Schmidt, a technology veteran, to be the chief executive until one founder, Larry Page, felt he was ready to run the company. Ditto for Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s founder, who hired Sheryl Sandberg to give the company the ballast he wasn’t ready to provide. Companies that never grow up tend to go the way of Groupon or MySpace, two now-faded comets. As good as Uber’s app is, there are limits to how much bad publicity it can absorb before it hurts the bottom line. At Uber, the inmates are running the asylum. That needs to change, while there’s still time. Joe Nocera is an op-ed columnist for The New York Times.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 3, 1914: Taos — Cruz Lujan, a highly educated Pueblo Indian, has returned to his people here. He left here 15 or 16 years ago, was in the Spanish-American War, and has traveled extensively. He has made his home in Salt Lake City in recent years. Carlsbad — Harry Walker of Malaga is finishing hogs on sugar beets, testing out the advice of O.D. O’Donnell, the supervisor of irrigation. Mr. Walker has 100 tons of beets from 5 acres. Dec. 3, 1964: The average ninth-grade student in Santa Fe public schools is one year and two months behind average students in the rest of the United States, Superintendent of Santa Fe Public Schools Orion C. Shockley told the small group attending of SCOPE last night. The comparison is based on the National Iowa Test of Basic Skills given in October of this year to all junior high school students. This result, which he called “absolutely pitiful,” is, in the superintendent’s opinion, ‘the result of eight years of overcrowded classrooms in Santa Fe schools.” Dec. 3, 1989: More than 300 motorcyclists are expected to gather at the Plaza on Sunday to promote their Toys for Tots campaign for Christmas. Karen Webb, organizer for the Northern New Mexico Motorcycle Riders Association’s toy drive, said the cyclists will ride from the Plaza to the Marine Corps Recruiting Center at 1612 St. Michael’s Drive. Toys donated to Toys for Tots go to needy children locally. “Last year we collected toys to distribute to more than 1,500 kids,” Webb said.

Truchas man gets 3 years in drug-related, fatal crash Marijuana, Valium and cocaine found in suspect’s system after accident in which girlfriend died By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

Christine Johnson, 77, a parishioner at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church, works as a ‘stealth volunteer’ for many cultural, political, educational, legal and church groups — as well as homeless shelter. She is one of The New Mexican’s 10 Who Made a Difference for 2014. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

A caregiver to all

A judge on Tuesday lectured a 22-year-old Rio Arriba County man before sentencing him to three years in prison for vehicular homicide in the death of his girlfriend, who died in a 2012 crash that occurred while the man was driving with drugs in his system. “You knew you had a problem and you didn’t do anything about it,” District Judge T. Glenn Ellington told Bobby Cordova, a Truchas-area resident who had pleaded guilty to the charge. Cordova and Jessica Hoover, a Peñasco resident who was 30 when she died, were returning from a friend’s house around 3 a.m. Dec. 22, 2012, when Cordova failed to navigate a turn on N.M. 76 and drove off Bobby the road. His vehicle collided with a pine tree with enough force to sever Cordova the tree, according to testimony presented at Tuesday’s sentencing hearing. Cordova was speeding at the time of the crash, according to a crime scene reconstruction expert, driving at least 57 mph on a stretch of road where the posted speed limit was 40 mph. Jessica Cordova told police he had Hoover swerved to avoid hitting an elk. He was airlifted to a hospital and treated for injuries to his leg and foot, according to defense attorney Yvonne Quintana. Hoover, who had been dating Cordova for almost two years, died at the scene. Cordova admitted that before driving that morning,

Longtime nurse Christine Johnson honored for ‘stealth’ volunteer work By Robert Nott The New Mexican

hey say Christine Johnson is the unseen priest at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church in Santa Fe because the loyal parishioner tends to every person who walks in the door. She tends to the needs of many outside the church, as well. On Thursdays, you can find her reading to first-graders in teacher Rose Block’s classroom at Piñon Elementary School. On most winter nights, she is helping people to their seats as an usher for the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. And if you need someone to drive you to your doctor’s appointment and advocate for you, she’s your gal: She worked as a nurse for decades. “I’ll always be nursing. Always,” said Johnson, 77. Her work

as what one friend calls a “stealth volunteer” for many cultural, political, educational, legal and church groups — as well as homeless shelters — has earned her recognition as one of The New Mexican’s 10 Who Made a Difference for 2014. Asked what the honor means to her, Johnson said, “It means we all have something to give back, and someone thinks I do that.” Born in Chicago, Johnson grew up in racially divided Winston-Salem, N.C., in the 1940s. Her father was a minister of the First Baptist Church there. He taught her that she was a first-class citizen and that she should never apologize for being African American.

Agency seeks details on plan to pipe water Engineer’s Office concerned about impact on supplies By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

A revamped application by a commercial venture to pipe billions of gallons of drinking water from rural Western New Mexico to more populated areas of the drought-stricken state lacks key information, state officials said Tuesday. The State Engineer’s Office has given Augustin Plains Ranch until the end of the year to pro-

vide more specifics on what type of water rights would be developed, how the water would be used and what municipalities or industries would benefit. Greg Ridgley, general counsel for the office, announced the latest development during an interim legislative meeting. He told state lawmakers that applications to develop new water rights must be complete before the state engineer can accept them. The agency, he said, needs to have enough information to determine if there’s sufficient water in the area that has yet to be appropriated and whether

assigning new water rights would affect existing rights. The company’s plan calls for drilling more than three dozen wells capable of pumping more than 17 billion gallons of groundwater a year to supplement dwindling supplies in the Rio Grande Valley. The company would build a 140-mile pipeline to Bernalillo County as well as other infrastructure to capture runoff for recharging the aquifer beneath the San Augustin Plains west of Socorro. Some lawmakers said a decision should not be taken lightly given the volume of water at stake. Others described the pro-

posal as too speculative. Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, questioned whether capturing storm runoff and recharging the aquifer would be enough to avoid damaging existing rights and the local economy. “It just seems like these are impossible goals to have on one side and make this work,” Wirth said. Augustin Plains’ first application was rejected two years ago after the state engineer determined the proposal was vague and its effects could not be reasonably evaluated. It was one of

N.M. county faces problems after bail ruling Doña Ana sees increase in jail population after high court decision The Associated Press

LAS CRUCES — A recent state Supreme Court decision on high bail has increased Doña Ana County’s jail population. That’s because after the November decision, the Southern New Mexico county had to change the way bail was set. That led to a lag in setting bail as officials worked through the changes, the Las Cruces SunNews reports. Changes involve the bail schedule — a list of offenses and corresponding dollar figures used by jail officials to set bail at booking. Following a recent state Supreme Court opinion and subsequent New Mexico Administrative Office of the Courts directive, Magistrate Court Presiding Judge Joel Cano removed local bail schedules on Nov. 19. Cano said workers do not like the new directive. “Nobody likes it,” Cano said. “Nobody’s happy.” Last month, the state’s highest court ruled that judges couldn’t use exorbitant bond setting to keep a criminal defendant in jail pending trial. In what he labeled a “precedential” opinion, Justice Charles Daniels warned judges across the state about setting bail only on the offenses charged, reminding them that those eligible for bail should be granted “the least restrictive of the bail options and release conditions necessary to reasonably assure Defendant’s appearance and the safety of the community.”

In brief Rodella continues quest for new trial Former Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella’s lawyer is giving up his fight to discredit two key witnesses as part of a motion for a new trial in a federal case in which the lawman was found guilty of violating a man’s civil rights during a “roadrage” incident. But Rodella is still fighting for a new trial. Robert Gorence, Rodella’s lawyer, said in court Tommy documents filed earlier Rodella this week that he doesn’t have evidence to prove that the two witnesses perjured themselves during the weeklong trial in September. Instead, he will argue that Rodella deserves a new trial because prosecutors used his son’s medical records in an “egregiously misleading way” to discredit Tommy Rodella Jr. as a defense witness. Gorence had first argued for new trial saying that Michael Tafoya of Española,

who had accused the sheriff of roughing him up during a traffic stop, had lied about his employment status at an adult care facility. The lawyer said Tafoya, who was on leave from work during the September court proceedings, had been fired from his job over allegations that he had physically abused a resident at the facility. Gorence also said that Renee Dominguez, Tafoya’s friend who had helped him write a two-page statement to authorities and news outlets detailing the road-rage incident, has a history of being dishonest. During a hearing in November, Tafoya’s employer testified that an internal investigation determined the allegations against him were false. Gorence was given more time to try to gather evidence against Dominguez. If Rodella Sr.’s conviction stands, he could face up to 17 years in prison during sentencing.

School gets security after gunman scare ALBUQUERQUE — An Albuquerque elementary school was under extra security Tuesday, a day after the school was abruptly put on lockdown as authorities searched a nearby neighborhood following reports of an active shooter. The beefed-up security presence at Man-

zano Mesa Elementary School follows a tense afternoon that forced parents to wait for hours to pick up children. The sudden lockdown was ordered after police received reports of a man with a rifle and handgun. Sandia National Laboratories and nearby businesses also were locked down for a nearly four-hour manhunt. According to Albuquerque police, officers arrived at the scene in southeastern Albuquerque after receiving calls about an armed subject acting suspiciously in the area. One 911 caller said the gunman had fired a shot at a brick wall outside the Emcore Corp. A second caller did not see or hear this shot but said the subject was “hiding behind a tree and is now reloading his gun.” But officers did not hear any gunshots while at the scene, Albuquerque police spokesman Tanner Tixier said. “Throughout the entire area search, 911 was receiving calls about possible sightings of this armed individual in the nearby neighborhoods,” Tixier said. No injuries were reported, and no arrests were made, Tixier said. Detectives returned to the scene Tuesday to look for any new evidence, he said. So far, police have not found any shell casings or any impact marks from bullets, Tixier said. Staff and wire reports

LEONA MEDINA TIEDE Leona Medina Tiede, 73, a resident of Chimayo, passed away suddenly on Sunday, November 29, 2014 surrounded by her loving family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank Medina and Julia Roybal Medina; inlaws, Lawrence Tiede and Virginia Stobing Tiede; three brothers, Emilio, Michael, and Leonard Medina; brother-in-law, David Dominguez; niece, Carol Trujillo Gomez. Leona was born in Jerome, Arizona, a copper-mining town, and grew up in Chimayo next to El Santuario de Chimayo. As the eldest of eleven children she spent her youth helping her mother raise her siblings. In her spare time she spent many days with Fr. Charles Lobato at the Santuario working in the gift shop, playing the organ, or assisting in mass as appropriate. After graduating from Santa Cruz High School, Leona entered the Carmelite Nuns of San Diego, CA. Later, with all intentions of returning, she left the order after six months due to an illness. She always said "I was called, but not chosen." Upon returning home, a twist of fate determined the next chapter of her life, to become an airline stewardess. This profession allowed her to travel the world for many years, some of those experiences were helping to evacuate refugees from Cuba, and transporting troops to and from Vietnam. While in Vietnam, she also visited many of the wounded troops in the hospital. Then, in the summer of 1966, on one of her many travels to Hawaii, she met the love of her life, Dennis at a bus stop in Honolulu. They married in 1967 at Holy Family Church, had three children, living in Sonoma, California, Santa Fe, and finally residing in Chimayo. There she became an entrepreneur and opened Leona’s Restaurant and later a Tortilleria. Finally, returning back to live and work near El Santuario de Chimayo where she ran her little restaurant/gift shop for the past 26 years. Her passion was to serve the church and her community. She achieved that by providing meals for the priests, assisting with numerous activities including Posadas, and serving as a Eucharistic Minister, and Lector. She also made herself available to the many pilgrims of the church, by listening to their testimonials satisfying their hunger for food and their spiritual well-being. Mrs. Tiede is survived by her loving husband of 47 years, Dennis H. Tiede; the joys of her life, her children, Theresa Lovato and husband Anthony, Paul Tiede and wife Denise, Michelle Koller and husband Steve.

Police said Calles-Reyes is Jessica 5 feet tall and weighs about Calles-Reyes 120 pounds. She has brown hair, which she sometimes dyes different colors, and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a dark gray sweater, blue jeans and black Converse athletic shoes. The teen, who often rides on Santa Fe Trails buses, was on electronic monitoring but had cut off her monitoring bracelet, police said. Investigators asked that anyone with information on Calles-Reyes’ whereabouts call Santa Fe police at 428-3710.

Fe, Española and Las Vegas, N.M. House of Cards stars Kevin Spacey, also known for film roles in American Beauty and L.A. Confidential. Spacey plays a corrupt politician trying to increase his own power and influence. The series, now filming for its third and final season, also stars Robin Wright. Spacey’s last major project in New Mexico was the dark comedy The Men Who Stare at Goats, filmed in 2008. That film also featured George Clooney and Ewan McGregor. The Associated Press reported that Spacey attended a party hosted by former Gov. Bill Richardson in 2008. The Netflix series will return to the streaming service on Feb. 27, 2015.

Ski Santa Fe plans partial opening Saturday Ski Santa Fe announced Tuesday that it will meet its Saturday, Dec. 6, target date to open for the season. However, not all ski runs will be available, and rates will be discounted to account for the limited opening, the announcement said. Rates vary based on age and other factors, but the price of an adult all-day pass currently is listed as $55. Midland, Easy Street and the Pine Flats beginners area will be open this weekend, and the Super Chief Quad Chairlift, Easy Street Beginner Chairlift and Pine Flats Conveyor Lift will be in operation, along with all resort facilities. Crews have been making snow since temperatures dropped in the mountains above Santa Fe, and the ski area is reporting 20 inches of natural and man-made snow in the areas set to open Saturday. The ski area’s operators annually hope for a Thanksgiving Day opening, but conditions did not allow that this year. The National Weather Service doesn’t predict any snow in Santa Fe this week, but said there is a chance for precipitation Wednesday and Thursday, which could produce snow at higher elevations. Temperatures in town are expected to range from the lower 50s to mid 30s through Saturday. The New Mexican

This was foreseeable. You were out late at night with drugs in your system.” It was a tragedy, the judge said, that Cordova hadn’t learned his lesson from his previous run-ins with the law.

Jail: Books 33 people a day Continued from Page B-1 For years, bail schedules have been common at jails all over New Mexico. They allow for most of those in custody to post bail quickly. But critics say bail schedules contradict state law because they use only the offense charged to determine bail amount. With no bail schedule in Doña Ana County, those

detained must wait for a judge to determine their bail. Often, that can take a day to arrange. “We did see an increase,” said Doña Ana County Detention Center warden Chris Barela, who did not have specific data available about how many more people were jailed. “They’re trying to work the bugs out.” The jail books about 33 people per day, Barela said. Generally about 60 percent of

those receive a bail figure. In the first couple of days running without a bail schedule, only three people received bail. “That’s not good, that’s not what we’re trying to accomplish,” Barela said. But Barela commended Cano for working to fix the solution. “He’s doing good trying to get people out that should be out, as fast as possible,” he said.

WIPP: Lawsuit names several other contractors involved in incident Continued from Page B-1 The lawsuit alleges a litany of safety problems with the underground facility led to Utter’s injuries. Workers tried but failed to put out the truck blaze with fire extinguishers and the truck’s on-board fire suppression system, according

to the lawsuit. A shift manager then switched the facility’s air ventilation system from normal to filtration, forcing some of the smoke into other rooms, the suit says. This made it hard for workers to see escape routes. The lawsuit also alleges the contractors failed to address earlier concerns with the

Water: Some officials skeptical of proposal Continued from Page B-1 the most contested filings in the history of the State Engineer’s Office. The company submitted its latest application in July. After months of review, the office made the request for additional information in a Nov. 25 letter. The company is reviewing the request. Project Manager Michael Jichlinski said the application is the first step, and the company envisions spending millions of dollars more on studies to better understand the region’s hydrology if the state engi-

neer allows for a hearing. The company is proposing to develop water, a job Jichlinski said has historically been done by government. “Our belief is the public sector is tapped out when it comes to the money available for infrastructure development, for all the studies that need to be done. It’s simply not there,” he said. While skeptical of the Augustin Plains proposal, Sen. Joe Cervantes, D-Las Cruces, said the West was built on the ability to pipe water from one place to another, and government should be open to the private sector stepping in.

old dump truck, and that fire alarms didn’t function properly and mine phones didn’t all work. The lawsuit says the truck fire created “extensive” smoke, soot and airborne toxins. The complaint says Nuclear Waste Partnership and other contractors operating the underground

facility were negligent and failed to maintain adequate fire protection. The lawsuit also names contractors Southwest Safety Specialists, Washington TRU Solutions and URS Energy and Construction. An Accident Investigation Board report issued in March found the root cause of the

accident was the “failure of Nuclear Waste Partnership and the previous management and operations contractor to adequately recognize and mitigate the hazard regarding a fire in the underground. This includes recognition and removal of the buildup of combustibles through inspections and peri-

odic preventative maintenance (such as cleaning) and the decision to deactivate the automatic onboard fire suppression system (on the salt haul truck.)” The Department of Energy signed a $1.3 billion contract with URS and NWP to manage and operate the waste facility beginning in 2012.

Nurse: Moved to Santa Fe in early 1980s Continued from Page B-1 “He said, ‘Always hold your head up straight. Do what you need to do and have integrity,’ ” she recalled. “If you say you’re gonna bring the broom to the left side of the door, then that’s what you do.” She said the black community in her hometown acted as her family. “You looked out for each other all the time. Someone was always there. People just did that.” That nurturing environment led her to pursue a career as a nurse starting with a degree in the 1950s at the Lincoln Hospital School for Nurses in New York’s Bronx — one of the only schools to accept black nursing students at the time. She then earned a master’s degree at Boston University. Johnson didn’t want to be segregated in the health care industry as a staffer in an all-black hospital, so at the urging of a friend, she joined the U.S. military.

She worked as a nurse in the U.S. Public Health Service under the auspices of the U.S. Coast Guard for more than 20 years. “They were good years. I learned a lot from them, they learned a lot from me, and I gave back to my country,” she said. “Most of the people in the … corps were not of color, and most of my patients were not of color. They were just looking for someone there who could take care of them. That meant a lot to me.” She married David Francis Johnson, a motorman for the New York City Transit Authority, in March 1970. They had two children, Deborah and Crystal. He passed away Nov. 20, 1992. Johnson moved to Santa Fe in the early 1980s, when she was assigned as a nurse to the Santa Fe Indian Hospital. “It was a cultural shock,” she said. “I didn’t see another African American aside from my two children from July 1982 to Thanksgiving of that year.”

She later became a nursing instructor at the Santa Fe Community College. Among the other groups she gives time to are the American Cancer Society, Sangre de Cristo Chorale, the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts, The DREAMers Project (which helps immigrants seeking citizenship), the Interfaith Community Shelter, AARP and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. “I’m just passing on what’s been given to me,” she said. “They claim I know everybody in town. I recognize people. I lived through being invisible. God put them here for a reason, and we are all God’s children.” Santa Fe, she said, is God’s country. “Every morning you wake up here is a blessing. The sky is so beautiful. You go out and see God’s earth and flowers and sun and moon, and you say, ‘thank you.’ ” Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 or rnott@ sfnewmexican.com.

Struggling Lobos to face formidable Aggies By Will Webber The New Mexican

76ers fans hold out hope as losses mount

ALBUQUERQUE — With Daniel Mullings and the New Mexico State men’s basketball team about to invade The Pit — oops, sorry! WisePies Arena — Lobos head coach Craig Neal has the perfect guy in mind to put the clamps on the Aggies’ slashing, high-scoring guard. Too bad that guy now earns a paycheck as a professional player in Italy. For the past three years, Mullings, a 6-foot-2 native of Toronto, was shadowed during the annual Rio Grande Rivalry

game by departed senior Kendall Williams. Two inches taller and at least as fast, Williams usually kept the NMSU guard in check. But this is now, and Mullings is back for one final go-round with the Lobos. The teams square off in Round 1 of their annual home-and-home series Wednesday night in The Pit. The return match to the Pan Am Center in Las Cruces comes Dec. 20. Neal calls Mullings the top guard in the Western Athletic Conference and one of the top backcourt players in the entire country. He enters Wednesday’s game

averaging 13.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. What sets him apart aren’t the numbers. It’s his gas pedal. “If he has the ball in transition and you have three back, he’s still coming at you,” Neal said. “He’s not waiting for anybody; he’s still coming. And I don’t think teams don’t understand that.” The Lobos certainly understand it, but the problem is they don’t have the obvious stopper on the roster to keep him from doing it again and again. Neal said

Jaguars fall in opener Capital fails to fend off Rio Grande’s rally By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

By Dan Gelston The Associated Press

he Capital basketball team came up short in its season opener against Albuquerque Rio Grande on Tuesday night, and that’s not just on the scoreboard. After the Jaguars held the lead nearly the entire time, the visiting Ravens made a strong effort late in the game to leave Edward A. Ortiz Memorial Gymnasium with a 47-46 nondistrict win. Capital had a 46-44 lead with one minute left, and Rio Grande needed one last shot to take the lead. After two 3-point misses were rebounded by the Ravens, sophomore guard Jose Rodriguez threw up a third 3-pointer while he was twisting in the air. The shot rang true to give Rio Grande a 47-46 lead with 15 seconds remaining. “I was deciding whether to call timeout before the shot, but I let him shoot it,” Rio Grande head coach Sean Jimenez said. Jimenez instead took a timeout after the shot, and he yanked Rodriguez in favor of a defense-friendly lineup. Capital guard Augie Larranaga dribbled hard to the basket on the next possession, but his floater ricocheted off the glass. The Ravens grabbed the rebound — and their first win of the season. “It came down to the last possession, and we got a stop to win the game,” Jimenez said. The last possession by Rio Grande highlighted a big problem for the Jaguars. Aside from having just one senior on the roster, Larranaga is the tallest starter at 6 feet. Aside from the two offensive rebounds for Rio Grande on its final possession, the Jaguars allowed the Ravens to snag a total of 45 rebounds. “We just didn’t do our jobs on the offensive rebounds,” said Capital

PHILADELPHIA — Harvey Pollack is the last original NBA employee, the man who scribbled “100” on a piece of paper for Wilt Chamberlain to hold in the classic 1962 snapshot of his record scoring game. So how about it, Harv: Any need to make another “100” sign for Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown? “It won’t be that high,” the 92-yearold Pollack said of Philly’s latest skid. “But I don’t know when they’ll win again.” No one does. That’s what’s scary as the Sixers stand one loss shy of matching the worst start in NBA history, already at 0-17. Still, as the final seconds ticked down in Philadelphia’s 109-103 loss to San Antonio on Monday night, one fan speedwalking toward the exit stopped when he saw Sixers CEO Scott O’Neil applauding the effort from the third row. “Together we build,” the man yelled. “I don’t care what anybody

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

TCU jumps Florida St. into 3rd in playoff rankings By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

TCU moved up to No. 3 in the final College Football Playoff rankings before the teams are selected to play in the national semifinals, becoming the latest team to jump past undefeated Florida State. The Seminoles are fourth, still in position to reach the playoff if it can win Saturday’s Atlantic Coast Conference championship game against No. 11 Georgia Tech. Alabama is No. 1 and Oregon is second for the third straight week. The Crimson Tide plays 16th-ranked Missouri in the Southeastern Conference championship game, and Oregon faces Arizona in the Pac-12 title game. The Wildcats’ five-spot jump to seventh sets up a possible play-in game in Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday night. The Wildcats already have beaten Oregon in Eugene and could make another big jump by doing so again. TCU finishes its regular season at home Saturday against Iowa State, which is winless in the Big 12. It would seem the top four would be fairly well set as long as each wins

the place really is. Marketing can’t trump history. What’s one of the loudest arenas in the country? The Pit. Where did one of the greatest upsets in the history of college basketball happen, that being North Carolina State beating Houston in the 1983 NCAA Championship game? The Pit. Where did Jimmy Valvano run around on the floor after that win? The Pit. (No, not Bob King Court). Oh, and what is the place that King built? The Pit. And when it comes to the younger audience, the power of The Pit still resonates. You think any kid with a ball in his hand standing out in his family’s driveway pretending he’s about to make the shot that wins the state title for his school is dreaming about “WisePies Arena?” No, they all dream of running

down the ramp in The Pit. It’s a great marketing scheme for Chavez and Baird. People are talking about them right now. And maybe this will jump-start their franchise and make WisePies as popular as Saggio’s, Dion’s and Lotaburger as far as local businesses. That makes a $5 million investment worthwhile on their end. But if this doesn’t work and the chain remains as small as it is today, good luck with those $600,000 payments in two years. Good luck with trying to find another business that will attach its name to University Arena, UNM. We all know the truth — that basketball temple on the corner of Avenida Cesar Chavez and University Boulevard will always be The Pit. That is, until someone important enough gets tired of Pit Power trumping marketing power.

Rozier, No. 5 Louisville survive No. 14 Ohio State The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Terry Rozier made clutch jumpers down the stretch, including a big 3-pointer with 46 seconds 5 Louisville 64 remaining, to help No. 5 Louisville 14 Ohio St. 55 survive No. 14 Ohio State 64-55 Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The Cardinals (6-0) were in danger of blowing a 17-point halftime lead before Rozier made three straight baskets in the final minutes including the key shot from behind the arc to provide a 59-53 lead. Anas Mahmoud and Montrezl Harrell each added a free throw before Rozier made a steal with 16 seconds

left and hit a foul shot to finish with 11 points. NO. 15 MIAMI 70, NO. 24 ILLINOIS 61 In Coral Gables, Fla., freshman Deandre Burnett scored a season-high 19 points and No. 15 Miami won a matchup of unbeaten teams Tuesday night, beating Illinois 70-61 in the ACCBig Ten Challenge. Burnett had played in only three games previously, but he became the fourth player to lead the young Hurricanes in scoring this season. The 6-foot-2 guard added eight rebounds in 24 minutes. NO. 3 ARIZONA 91, GARDNER-WEBB 65 In Tucson, Ariz., Stanley Johnson and Gabe York each scored 18 points, and No. 3 Arizona blitzed Gardner-Webb

during a 16-0 second-half run to roll over the Bulldogs 91-65 Tuesday night. Arizona (7-0) needed to shake out the cobwebs after the holiday break and had to rally from a sluggish start with a big run to end the first half. The Wildcats again were flat to open the second half, but had an even bigger run in them, hitting 11 straight shots during an 18-2 stretch that put the game out of reach. NO. 9 GONZAGA 76, SE LOUISIANA 57 In Spokane, Wash., Kyle Wiltjer scored 20 points as No. 9 Gonzaga used a big second half to beat scrappy Southeastern Louisiana 76-57 on Tuesday. Domantas Sabonis added 14 points and Kevin Pangos 12 for Gonzaga (7-0), which trailed after the first half.

NO. 6 TEXAS 63, TEXAS-ARLINGTON 53 In Austin, Texas, freshman Myles Turner scored 18 points to carry No. 6 Texas to a 63-53 win over Texas-Arlington on Tuesday night — a lethargic tuneup before the Longhorns head to Kentucky to play the No. 1 Wildcats. Texas, which beat defending national champion Connecticut on Saturday, struggled for long stretches and often got sloppy against the Mavericks, who lost by 48 to Kentucky last week. NO. 20 IOWA STATE 96, LAMAR 59 In Ames, Iowa, Matt Thomas scored 14 points, Georges Niang added 13 and 20th-ranked Iowa State pounded Lamar 96-59 on Tuesday. Bryce Dejean Jones had 12 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists and four

steals for the Cyclones (4-1), who shook off a sluggish start with a gamedeciding 16-0 run late in the first half. NO. 17 MICHIGAN 68, SYRACUSE 65 In Ann Arbor, Mich., Spike Albrecht rattled in a 3-pointer with 31 seconds remaining to put Michigan ahead, and the 17th-ranked Wolverines held on to beat Syracuse 68-65 on Tuesday night. Albrecht’s shot broke a 63-63 tie after Syracuse (5-2) had rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit. Michigan led 66-65 after Michael Gbinije scored inside for the Orange, and Derrick Walton missed the front and of a one-and-one for the Wolverines. But Syracuse freshman Chris McCullough threw the ball out of bounds with 15 seconds remaining.

PREP ROUNDUP

Garduño helps lift Sundevils over Rams The New Mexican

It was the size of Rio Rancho versus the will of Jared Garduño on Tuesday night. The Class AAAAAA Rams pounded away at the Española Española 84 Valley Sundevils in a nondistrict boys basRio Rancho 81 ketball game in Edward Medina Gymnasium, but Garduño refused to wilt. His jumper with :15 left capped a 31-point performance and helped lift Española to an 84-81 win. Garduño was a one-man show in the second half, scoring 21 points after the break as the Sundevils battled back from a 47-41 deficit in the third quarter. The lead grew to as much as 67-59 in the fourth, but Rio Rancho, which had three players 6-foot-3 and taller, chipped away until tying it at 79 in the final minute before Garduño untied it. “Jared, he’s played the game so long that he’s just a great go-to player,” Española head coach Richard Martinez said. Española (3-0) capped the win when Uriah Arellano came up with a steal in the final 10 seconds, and he hit a free throw to cap the scoring. Joseph Trujillo added 12 points for the Sundevils, while Elias Archuleta added nine. ALBUQUERQUE HIGH 77, SANTA FE HIGH 47 At Bulldog City, Alonzo Armijo led four Bulldogs in double figures as Albuquerque High dispatched the Demons in a nondistrict game. Santa Fe High (1-1) trailed by eight after one quarter, then fell behind 43-24 at the half. The Bulldogs continued to pull away in the second half as the Demons were forced to do without injured starting forward Hayden Hargrove. Julio Rivera had 10 points and Vito Coppola nine for Santa Fe High. Warren Fulgenzi, who was fighting and illness before the game, finished with eight points. “It was a good week and we all had a healthy serving of pumpkin pie, then tonight we got served humble pie,” said David Rodriguez, Demons head coach. “Albuquerque High handled everyone pretty good this summer and they handled us with ease tonight. We couldn’t pass, we couldn’t catch and we couldn’t shoot. They’re a good team, though. They beat us every quarter.” TIERRA ENCANTADA 51, NEW MEXICO SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF 26 At NMSD, the visiting Alarcranes (4-0) never trailed, turning a commanding 25-2 lead after one quarter into a blowout nondistrict win over the Roadrunners. No one finished in double figures for Tierra Encantada as Gabriel Pacheco and Xavier Benavidez each had eight points. A trio of players — John Garcia, Manny Hernandez and Andres Flores — each had six points. SANTA FE PREP 69, LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON 66 The Blue Griffins slumped after taking a 23-20 lead, and the host Cardinals (0-4)

built a 56-51 lead going into the fourth quarter. They figured out how to slow down Robertson guard Sebastian Gonzales, who had 28 points, and outscored the Cardinals 18-10 the rest of the way. Ian Andersson had 26 points to lead Prep (4-0), while Francis Castillo y Mulert added 14 and Wyeth Carpenter 10. Jovan Gallegos added 10 for Robertson. POJOAQUE VALLEY 51, EAST MOUNTAIN 24 In Sandia Park, Chris Martinez dropped in a team-high 14 points to lead the visiting Elks (2-0) to a nondistrict road win over the Timberwolves. Pojoaque led 14-2 after one quarter, took a 13-point lead into halftime, then blew the game wide open with a 19-5 run in the third quarter. James Garcia and Julian Lujan added seven points apiece for the Elks, who open play in the Santa Fe Indian School Tournament on Thursday afternoon against Crownpoint. MORA 96, PECOS 75 The Marco Sanchez era began with a wave of points, as the Rangers outscored their former district rivals 26-17 in the fourth quarter in both teams’ season opener in Louis G. Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium. That’s exactly how Sanchez, in his first season as head coach, wants it at Mora. “I’m a little nervous with the halfcourt game,” Sanchez said. “It’s too slow for me.” Casimiro Fresquez had a team-high 32 points for the Rangers, who led 49-40 at the half, while Santiago Laumbach added 14 and Travis Romero had 10. GIRLS SANTA FE HIGH 47, AZTEC 27 In Aztec, Kayla Herrera had a game-high 18 points to lead the visiting Demonettes (3-0) to a comfortable nondistrict win over the Lady Tigers. Savina Padilla added nine points as Santa Fe High took a 24-16 lead at halftime and never looked back. “We were a little sluggish from the trip, but we did get things going after a while,” said Elmer Chavez, Demonettes head coach. “They kind of spread us out, but we were able to make a good adjustment and get the stops we needed.” WEST LAS VEGAS 69, SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 63 The Lady Dons looked like they had things wrapped up, what with a 52-33 lead after three quarters in Gillie Lopez Memorial Gymnasium. Then the Lady Braves finally got on track, thanks to an aggressive defense, and cut the margin to one with 90 seconds left in head coach Lanse Carter’s SFIS debut. But freshman Milan Schimmel was called for a travel, then SFIS received a technical foul on the ensuing possession that gave West Las Vegas the breathing room it needed. “We were on our way,” Carter said. “She drove into the lane, and it would gotten us up one if she hits that layup.” Victoria Lovato scored 17 points to lead SFIS, while Kayla Joe added 14 and Kimarie

Ramone had 11 points in the fourth quarter. The Lady Dons (3-0) were led by Deanna Bustos’ 20 points, and Celeste Trujillo added 12. POJOAQUE VALLEY 67, SOCORRO 32 One-half of the Elkettes’ point guard tandem returned, and it showed in a nondistrict win in Socorro. Junior Amanda Martinez returned after sitting out Saturday’s loss at Los Alamos and had 11 points and six steals. That helped Pojoaque (2-2) take a 34-16 lead at the half and cruise from there. “We still have a lot of work to do defensively, but [Tuesday] we finished more than we did last game,” Pojoaque head coach Chris Williams said. “We got one of our guards back and that was a world of difference.” Aaliya Casados led the Elkettes with 16 points, while Justice Ainsworth added 14. ESPAÑOLA VALLEY 59, TAOS 51 The Lady Tigers battled from a 32-20 deficit and got within four points late in the fourth quarter of a nondistrict game in Otero Gym, but the Lady Sundevils held on with an 8-for-9 effort from the free-throw line. Kayla Salazar had 16 points, while Alexis Lovato added 15 for Española (2-0). Taos (3-2) had Feliz Espinoza with 17 points and Midnight Lujan added 14. SANTA FE PREPARATORY 41, ESTANCIA 37 In Estancia, the shorthanded Lady Griffins (4-1) just keep on doing things the hard way. Starting the game with just six players, they finished with five after one became ill and left after the first quarter. “Somehow we just keep winning,” said head coach Anika Amon. “Not sure how.” Alexis Mundt may have an answer. The team’s starting center, she finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds while Joy Maran had eight points, 10 boards and seven assists. Bianca Gonzalez had 11 points. TO’HAJIILEE 72, ACADEMY FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS 22 For about a minute, the Phoenix rose. Then they crashed. ATC led 4-0 at the start, but the host Lady Warriors scored the next 16 points for a 12-point lead after a quarter. The margin was 35-11 at the half and 51-17 entering the fourth quarter. “We started turning the bal lover and they were getting layups off of it,” said Ray Roybal, Phoenix head coach. Felicity Sealy led ATC (1-2) with six points, while Ashley Zapata added five. TIERRA ENCANTADA JV 33, N.M. SCHOOL FOR DEAF (VARSITY) 23 Brianna Duran had 12 points and Jazmine Torres six to lead the Lady Alarcranes past the Lady Roadrunners in Larson Gym. It was the season opener for Tierra Encantada, which is in its second season but still doesn’t have enough upperclassmen to field a varsity team.

Jaguars: Lack of height an issue for Capital Continued from Page B-4 starting point guard Eric Coca, who led the team with 13 points. “We have to play better, and we’re going to come in [Wednesday] at six in the morning and we’re going to fix it.” Expect Capital head coach Ben Gomez to be at practice bright and early as well, because he left the gym almost immediately after the game and was not available for comment. Despite their small stature, the Jaguars had every chance to get the win. They didn’t give up the lead in the first half, but Rio Grande tied the game three times and kept Capital to a 22-21 halftime lead.

The Ravens came out and finally took a 25-24 lead at the start of the third quarter. There were four quick lead changes to open the second half, but Capital went into the final quarter with a 35-34 lead. Rio Grande got the lead twice in the fourth quarter, and the last one held long enough. It could have been anyone’s game the entire time, and that’s exactly what Jimenez was expecting. “We knew coming in here that it was going to be a game like that,” he said. “Neither team was going to blow the other out.” Santa Fe wasn’t so nice the last time Rio Grande came to town. After coming up and losing to Santa Fe High 72-61 on

Nov. 25, the Ravens were hoping to leave the City Different with their first win of the season this time. Thanks to the sheer size of players like 6-foot-5 Miguel Rodriguez, they were able to do just that. “It definitely gets the taste out of our mouths when we came up and lost here last week,” Jimenez said. The Ravens showed the Jaguars that not having height will be a factor this season, but that’s not going to stop them from being in games until the final shot. “We’re not intimidated by any team,” Coca said. “I’m pretty sure an elementary team is probably bigger than us, but we’re ready to compete.”

Lobos: Roster depleted by injured players Continued from Page B-4 they’d likely rotate players to guard Mullings. But Mullings isn’t the only issue. Not even close. At 3-4 after opening the season with a challenging nonconference schedule that includes road games at Wichita State, St. Mary’s, UTEP and Wyoming, the Aggies are the preseason pick to win the WAC after making the NCAA Tournament each of the last three seasons. Whereas UNM’s patchwork roster is injury depleted and alarmingly shy of a go-to scorer, New Mexico State has four players averaging doublefigure points and — aside from an injury to big man Tshilidzi Nephawe — are coming into the game healthy. Nephawe missed the Aggies’ most recent game at Wyoming and may not play Wednesday. That fact alone could actu-

ally make NMSU even tougher to handle. A 6-10, 268-pound senior, Nephawe actually slows down the transition game when he’s in there. All season, UNM has had trouble communicating on defensive assignments when the game goes up tempo. “The one thing we can’t let happen is let them go on 8-0 runs, 9-0 runs two or three times in a half,” Neal said. “You have to make them score in the half court. That’s easier said than done.” With leading scorer Cullen Neal, 6-9 forward Jordan Goodman and 6-5 shooting guard Arthur Edwards definitely out for UNM, the onus of generating points falls, again, to senior point guard Hugh Greenwood. And like the Lobos’ ability to avoid NMSU’s runs, it’s easier said than done. Greenwood didn’t score and had just one rebound in last weekend’s loss to USC.

“I think it’s a little bit of him trying to do too much, putting a lot of pressure on himself to lead,” Neal said. “I think he’s just got to relax and let the game come to him and be not so one-sided.” That’s a contradiction from Neal’s directive earlier in the season when he said Greenwood would too-often regress into the player he was the last three years when he was surrounded by teammates whose job it was to score, not his. “The only thing I’m going to stress to him is I’ve never seen him play a 34-minute game and have one rebound,” Neal said. “That’s just not him. Even though he can score the ball, he has to continue to do the things that have made him the player he is. I do think he can score the ball because there’ll be shots for him, but it has to be in the offense. I think he’s just been pressing and trying to make things happen, and that’s

part of it.” Win or lose, the Lobos’ woes clearly have more to do than their annual rivalry with NMSU. Bogged down by injuries and hampered by a lack of offensive punch, UNM is basically conducting open tryouts for players looking to fill Cullen Neal as the team’s top 3-point threat. To that end, expect more attempts from the outside from freshmen Sam Logwood and Xavier Adams. It’s a situation, Craig Neal said, where the Lobos have more shot takers and not enough shot makers. “I’m telling you, if you talk to Sam, if you talk to X right now — they don’t know what’s a good and what’s a bad shot,” he said. “And that’s part of the learning process. I can’t do that for them. All’s I can do is coach them and teach them and show them on tape and they have to figure that out.”

Ellis, Mavericks outlast Bulls in double overtime The Associated Press

SUNS 116, PACERS 99 In Phoenix, Goran Dragic scored 34 points, Eric Bledsoe had 27 and the Suns earned their fourth straight victory over the Pacers. The Suns’ starting guards combined for 22-for-35 shooting. Dragic matched his season high for a game with 22 first-half points, and Bledsoe scored 21 in the second half. Gerald Green and Markieff Morris added 15 points apiece for the Suns, who broke the game open in the final seven minutes.

CHICAGO — Monta Ellis hit three foul shots with 1.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, and then made a goMavericks 132 ahead 3-pointer late in the secBulls 129 ond overtime that lifted the Dallas Mavericks past the Chicago Bulls 132-129 on Tuesday night. Ellis finished with 38 points, including his trio of foul shots that made it 108-all. He was fouled by Kirk Hinrich soon after crossing half-court. Chicago’s Derrick Rose banked Mavericks guard Monta Ellis, in a 3-point at the overtime buzzer center, shoots over Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler and to force double OT. PELICANS 112, THUNDER 104 In New Orleans, reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant returned from a foot injury and scored 27 points in his season debut for Oklahoma City, but Tyreke Evans powered the Pelicans to the win. Durant played nearly 30 minutes, looking healthy whether he was throwing down a driving, twohanded dunk or snapping off one of his three 3-pointers. Evans scored 15 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter. Anthony Davis had 25 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for the Pelicans. CAVALIERS 111, BUCKS 108 In Cleveland, Kyrie Irving scored 28 points, LeBron James had 26 points and 10 assists and Mike Miller provided a much-needed spark off Cleveland’s bench, leading the Cavaliers to their fourth straight win. Kevin Love added 27 points for the Cavs, who got all they could handle from the young Bucks. Brandon Knight scored 24 and 19-year-old rookie Jabari Parker, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft, had 22 points for Milwaukee.

Danilo Gallinari’s 3-pointer at the buzzer was well short as the Blazers won their seventh straight over Denver. HAWKS 109, CELTICS 105 In Atlanta, Kyle Korver scored 24 points, and the Hawks rallied to beat the struggling Celtics. Paul Millsap added 19 points for Atlanta, which has won three straight and five of six. Korver went 6 for 7 from 3-point range. Boston has lost five straight and eight of nine. Jeff Green and Jared Sullinger had 25 points apiece for the Celtics, and Rajon Rondo set a season high with 19 assists. NETS 98, KNICKS 93 In New York, Brook Lopez scored 23 points, Joe Johnson added 22 and Brooklyn improved to 2-0 this season against its city rival. Deron Williams finished with 19 points for the Nets, who won for just the third time in 10 games after blowing most of a 16-point, second-half lead. Carmelo Anthony had 20 points, nine rebounds and six assists, but missed a potential tying 3-pointer with about 5 seconds left as the Knicks lost their fifth straight. They fell to 4-15.

LAKERS 106, PISTONS 96 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Lakers star Kobe Bryant scored all 12 of his points in a row, leading an impressive flurry in the third quarter. The Pistons held Bryant scoreless in the first half, but still lost their ninth in a row. Bryant began the day as the NBA’s leading scorer at almost 27 points per game. His burst in the third helped the Lakers to an 81-65 lead heading into the final period. RAPTORS 117, KINGS 109 In Sacramento, Calif., Kyle Lowry scored 27 points and made a pivotal jumper with 57 seconds left to lift the Toronto Raptors over the Sacramento Kings 117-109 on Tuesday night. Terrence Ross matched his season high with 20 points and reserve James Johnson added 19 points and seven rebounds. The East-leading Raptors had lost two in a row. The Raptors, playing their second consecutive game without guard DeMar DeRozan, led by as much as 15 but were clinging to a 111-107 advantage late in the fourth quarter when Lowry made a 20-foot jumper. WARRIORS 98, MAGIC 97 In Oakland, Calif., Stephen Curry made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2.2 seconds remaining, and the Golden State Warriors beat the Orlando Magic 98-97 on Tuesday night for their 10th straight win. In the most dramatic finish in their streak to date, Curry sprinted up court and lost Tobias Harris with some crafty dribbling before pulling up to swish the shot.

Rankings: Ohio St. is fifth; Baylor sixth Continued from Page B-4 this weekend, but committee chairman Jeff Long, the athletic director at Arkansas, said it would be premature to project out because the committee doesn’t. “We’re waiting for teams to complete their body of work,” he said. Ohio State, which lost its Heisman Trophy-contending quarterback J.T. Barrett to a broken ankle last week, is fifth, and Baylor, which beat TCU earlier in the season, is sixth. Long said the committee did not factor in Barrett’s injury this week but will when the final rankings come out Sunday. The Buckeyes face Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game.

Baylor finishes its regular season at home against Kansas State, ninth in the latest rankings. The Horned Frogs and Bears would be co-champions of the Big 12 if both win out. The conference has said it will not designate a champion via a tiebreaker. The committee’s selection protocol requires conference championships be taken into the consideration when judging teams with similar résumés. Boise State is the highest ranked — and only ranked — team from outside the Big Five conferences, which puts the Broncos (10-2) in position to receive a bid to one of the four New Year’s Day bowls.

Source: Vikings’ Peterson doesn’t testify at hearing By Rob Maaddi The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Adrian Peterson did not testify at his appeal hearing Tuesday and NFL executive Troy Vincent is scheduled to testify Thursday, according to two people familiar with the case. Peterson gave a statement, said one person. Both people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither side is discussing the case publicly. Peterson left without comment after spending more than three hours at the hearing. His attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, said only that the hearing will continue Thursday. The proceedings were held before longtime hearing officer Harold Henderson. Peterson is seeking reinstatement after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended him for the rest of the season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. Peterson will

not be considered for reinstatement before April 15. The 2012 NFL MVP hasn’t played for the Minnesota Vikings since Week 1 after he was charged with child abuse in Texas. He was placed on paid leave while the legal process played out, and he pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless assault for injuring his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. The NFL Players Association called the punishment “unprecedented, arbitrary, and unlawful.” The union is arguing Peterson should get credit for time served on the exempt list. The NFLPA submitted a tape of a conversation between Peterson and Vincent in which the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations tells Peterson he would be credited with time served and receive a two-game suspension if he attended a disciplinary hearing Nov. 14 with Goodell. Peterson skipped that meeting.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Man is not happy out of the Army Dear Annie: I am a 23-year-old man. I served in the army and deployed to Afghanistan. I was medically discharged for PTSD about two years ago. I’m currently going to school to be a firefighter, but I’m afraid I’ve picked this field not because it interests me, but because I cannot go back into the military. I’m working in an office now, and I hate my job. Before this, I worked at a department store and as a machinist. But, Annie, I can’t see myself anywhere but with the military. What should I do? — Lost Soldier Dear Lost: Those who have been in the military sometimes have difficulty accepting a job that is less exciting or challenging. The intensity of the military experience and the bonding with one’s fellow soldiers can make everything else pale in comparison. For some, it takes a great deal of time to readjust. Check out military. com for other job opportunities for veterans, and also Career One Stop (careeronestop.org) at 877-348-0502. Military OneSource offers suggestions and website links for transitioning military members that might also be helpful for you (militaryonesource. mil/transition). Dear Annie: I have been a widower for almost three years. For the past six months, I’ve been seeing a nice lady for a friendly relationship. She also lost her spouse several years ago. My lady friend and I have dined out a few times, and she has questioned why I still wear my wedding ring. Annie, my wife was my only love. We were together more than 60 years. I will never love anyone like that again. Is it right for me to wear my wedding ring? Or if I am seeing someone, should I put it away? My friend says she is uncomfortable when I have it on. I care about this woman, so please tell me what I should do. — Widower Out East Dear Widower: You actually have two issues: How long should you wear your wedding ring once

you have begun dating again, and is a casual girlfriend of six months entitled to tell you to remove it? Wearing your wedding ring gives the impression that you are still connected to your first wife and not ready to move on. Nonetheless, wearing it is your decision, not your girlfriend’s. Widows often remove a wedding band and wear it on their other hand or have it refashioned into a necklace or other piece of jewelry, allowing them to continue wearing it in a less prominent location. You might consider this when you are ready. Dear Annie: I’d like to address this to “Unhappy Mother of a Son”: You are not alone. I haven’t seen my son since Mother’s Day, when I got my annual 30-minute visit. Yet every week, my son goes to dinner with his wife’s parents. Last month, they went on a family vacation with his in-laws. On Thanksgiving, my daughter-in-law didn’t even take her coat off or sit down when they came by. I am totally excluded from my son’s life except for a few text messages that he sends when I suspect his wife isn’t around. I am not a nasty person. I am quite nice to my daughter-in-law.

Bigger and better than ever, the Santa Fe School of Cooking has taught tourists and locals how to make New Mexico’s favorites for more than two decades

By Tantri Wija For The New Mexican

f you live here, it is possible to love green chile, or red chile, or Christmas chile, and hoover up tamales and enchiladas and chile rellenos all year long without ever having any idea how to make any of those things. New Mexican food is now a major national flavor profile, the whole country learning to love its peppers and tortillas and ubiquitous green chile. But such things were unknown and exotic 25 years ago, when Susan Curtis and her daughter Nichole Curtis Ammerman founded the Santa Fe School of Cooking. The School of Cooking has thrived for two decades, serving as a de facto embassy for the foods of New Mexico, with a steady clientele of both tourists eager to learn to prepare and appreciate the brave new world of foods they find here, and locals who may not be fortunate enough to have abuelitas of their own to teach them how to make proper carne adovada. Many of their guests, including the tourists, are repeat visitors. The cooking school itself came out of, as Ammerman puts it, “my mother [Susan’s] midlife crisis.” Curtis grew up in Idaho, on a cattle ranch on the Snake River, where food was fresh and seasonal and made from scratch. She and her husband moved to New Mexico, where she fell in love with the local cuisine, though at the time Curtis, a real estate agent, interacted with the food mostly only by eating it. Then in 1989, her children grown up and Curtis tired of her career, she attended Joe Cahn’s Cooking School in New Orleans, and woke up one night and informed her groggy husband that she wanted to open a cooking school in New Mexico. She drafted her daughter, Nicole, to the cause, and 25 years later that waking dream is now a successful, and delicious, reality. Curtis and Ammerman’s obsession with fresh, local ingredients began well before local ingredients were of interest to anyone who wasn’t local, so they sometimes had to drive all over the state to source ingredients from small farmers in even smaller towns, chasing the freshest green chiles or the tastiest chicos dried on the roof of someone’s house in the middle of the state. Longtime Santa Feans will remember that for the first two decades of its existence, the school was located downtown near the Plaza in the third floor of the Plaza Mercado, its swinging sign a repeated reminder that we had always meant to learn how to make posole. Two years ago the school moved into a larger facility — still downtown but with more room to breathe. The North Guadalupe location has a bigger kitchen, a bright patio and an expanded kitchen shop chock full of local products, where avid culinary enthusiasts can purchase books, food, soup mixes, salsas, spices, kitchen equipment and tableware. The school is not a culinary academy. One does not go there to become a chef or to get a certificate, or even to learn to make

Sure, you could do pancakes or muffins, just as you have so many years before. But maybe this year you should consider stepping up your Christmas brunch offerings. Maybe this year you should consider a baked hash made from sweet potatoes and Yukon golds topped with smoked salmon, poached eggs and — to be a little decadent — caviar. SWEET POTATO AND SALMON HASH BAKE Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes (20 minutes active); makes 8 servings 6 tablespoons (¾ stick) unsalted butter 1 medium yellow onion, diced 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes 1 cup diced roasted red peppers 2 tablespoons chopped capers 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme Kosher salt, ground black pepper 8 ounces smoked salmon Sour cream or 8 poached eggs (optional) Lemon zest, to serve Chopped fresh chives, to serve Caviar (optional) Preparation: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 3- to 4-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet over mediumhigh, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender and starting to brown. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, grate the sweet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes. Alternatively, use the medium grating disc on a food processor to shred the potatoes. Either way, grasp the shredded potatoes a handful at a time to squeeze and discard as much liquid as possible, returning the potatoes to the bowl. To the potatoes, add the onionbutter mixture, roasted red pepper, capers, thyme and a ½ teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Spoon the mixture into the casserole dish. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. Top the hash with smoked salmon and either dollops of sour cream or poached eggs, if using. Grate lemon zest over the top, then sprinkle with black pepper and chopped chives. Top with caviar, if desired.

the perfect soufflé. It is more like a culinary amusement park, a place where people go to learn to prepare and appreciate the local cuisine, to learn how to make chile sauces, what goes into tamales, and to unravel the hidden secrets of the seemingly simple tortilla. The class list reads like a Food Network channel lineup about the foods of New Mexico — Traditional 1, 2 and 3, Tamales, Tacos, a Red Chile Workshop, etc. The location was originally a Packard car dealership, then a nightclub, then artist Jean-Claude Gaugy’s Awakening Museum, but has since been totally renovated into a bright, inviting, thoroughly professional culinary playground with its fully stocked shop, a full commissary/prep kitchen and a beautiful main showroom with a bevy of big-screen TVs and mirrors above the counters so students can see everything that’s going on from above. Taking a class there is like watching a Food Network show live, with lunch, during which you are fed the very foods you spend the previous two hours salivating over. There are demo classes, such as Traditional 1, in which local chefs such as Michelle Roetzer (who is also the head of Santa Fe Community College’s fertile culinary program) give comfortably small groups lively demonstrations of how to prepare the enigmatic red and green chile sauces from scratch, how to tell if your tortilla masa is the right consistency (it should feel like your earlobe), and even how to adjust for different kinds of booze in your capirotada, with a splash of knife skills and some advice on adjusting wonky flavors and textures. Some of the most useful information from Traditional 1 is how to prepare, cook with and freeze both fresh and dried chiles, something which, if you’re not from

here, may be a total mystery. The hands-on classes are even smaller, allowing participants to get elbows-deep in enchiladas or to experience the divine slavery of folding dozens of Christmas tamales, and there is a three-day cooking boot camp for people who want to immerse themselves. To mark the birthday, the school has put out a spanking new cookbook. Celebrating the Foods of New Mexico was written by Curtis and Ammerman, with photographs by Jen Judge. Like Curtis and Ammerman’s previous books, such as The Santa Fe School of Cooking Cookbook, many of the recipes from their most popular classes are included, like red and green chile enchiladas, rellenos and flan, but they also throw in some of their more modern recipes (some of which are included in the updated Traditional III class) that take advantage of local ingredients and flavors, including Goat Cheese Enchiladas with Tomatillo Sauce, Glazed Shrimp & Chorizo Skewers and Green Chile Macaroni & Cheese. The book includes recipes for pretty much everything you really like about eating here, and then some, including a killer recipe for biscochitos, the official state cookie. To celebrate its birthday, the School of Cooking will throw a party on Dec. 13, which has also been declared Santa Fe School of Cooking Day by Mayor Javier Gonzales. The event from 2 to 5 p.m. will obviously feature delicious food from the cookbook, a hands-on tamale-making station, Santa Claus and live music, with guests encouraged to bring food donations for the nonprofit Feeding Santa Fe Inc. in exchange for 25 percent off in the cooking store.

Finding nirvana, tucked away in rural Virginia

YOGAVILLE, USA By Bettina Lanyi Special to The Washington Post

he rural valleys of Virginia’s Buckingham County, threaded with woods and set against the Blue Ridge Mountains some 40 miles south of Charlottesville, might have seemed an odd place to establish an ashram and retreat center nearly 35 years ago. But when artist Peter Max brought integral yoga teacher and spiritual guide Sri Swami Satchidananda here in 1979, hoping to lure him to America, the monk fell in love with the views of the mountains and decided to stay. Within a year he had founded a community dedicated to the teachings of Integral Yoga, based on unity and harmony among all living creatures, and called it simply Yogaville. Today, Yogaville provides workshops in yoga, meditation, interfaith spiritual teachings, or just a day of retreat. Curious about the ashram life and warming to the idea of a weekend of yoga in a cellphone-free area (guests are asked to turn off phones while at the ashram, and reception in the mountains is poor anyway), I headed up with a girlfriend to check it out. My fellow nirvana-seeking friend and I opted for the communal dormitory-style housing, sharing a room with four other women (rooms sleep up to eight; floors are separated by gender). Private and semiprivate rooms are available; other options include tents on the wooded Yogaville grounds, and a more luxurious retreat center for groups farther afield. The eerie quiet of a night spent far from the city in the middle of the woods was broken at 6 a.m. by the mellifluous sound of a violin playing “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning.” The violinist strolling the halls was tiny, white-haired, 85-year-old Swami Gurucharanananda, better known as Mataji, a term of affection and respect accorded a senior female monk. Mataji, who seemed to glow with an enviably joyous sense of calm, then led our hourlong meditation session, followed by a 90-minute Hatha yoga class. Unsure of our stamina at that pre-breakfast hour, my friend and I opted for beginner-level yoga. We found it a bit unchallenging for people with some Washington-area yoga under their belts, but Mataji’s impeccable cues throughout the class compensated for its ease, and it was nothing if not thorough — I’ve never before attended a class in which I was directed to exercise my eyeballs. (Rotating them clockwise and counterclockwise, looking to the left and right and finally, pressing them firmly with the heels of my hands so they could “rest in their sockets.”) Spiritual teachings at the ashram are relatively pan-faith and soft-pedaled but omnipresent, as in a reading from Satchidananda’s work given during lunch. (Sample teaching: Love and service to others are the only two precepts that need be followed in life.) Also omnipresent are large, framed photos of the late swami, who died in 2002; his enormous eyes seem to follow you around the room like those of a kindly, white-bearded Mona Lisa. My time at the ashram was insufficient to explore why he’s often depicted with animals: delightedly nuzzling a young lamb, or, as above my dorm bed, playfully scattering food to a gaggle of geese. (I, an admitted guru skeptic, was uncomfortable with the implied parallel between the birds and the ashram’s guests, but I’ll chalk that up to a bit of overlymeta dormitory insomnia.) After all that edifying meditation and yoga, we were more than ready to dig in to breakfast by 8:30. It included several kinds of hot grains, cold cereals, bananas and toppings (there had been a beans-and-rice breakfast dish, but it ran out too early for the yoga class attendees). Meals at Yogaville are vegetarian and served cafeteria-style, and much of the food is fresh and locally sourced. Not on the menu: caffeinated drinks. The ashram’s literature includes a gentle nudge to guests to use their trip as an opportunity to reconsider their dependence on caffeine. For those visitors loath to do so, there are several options, including coffee served at the center’s Mandala Market and Cafe.

overnment fines against airlines for consumer rule violations are on track to hit a six-year low as the U.S. Department of Transportation’s enforcement actions shift from punishment to preventing infractions. With only a few weeks left in 2014, the DOT has issued 23 consent orders that assess $2.6 million in penalties — $4.5 million less than last year. That’s the same number as in 2009. But the federal government’s consumer protection efforts haven’t stalled, according to Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “We will continue to engage the industry to make sure that it plays by the rules,” he said. The airline fines are the highlight of a quiet year, in terms of government enforcement actions. Other agencies, notably the Federal Trade Commission, took aim at deceptive travel clubs but left at least one major issue unresolved. All told, it looks as though this year will be one of the least eventful in terms of protecting travelers, at least on the regulatory side. But that doesn’t mean consumers are worse off. The FTC’s signature consumer protections revolved around travel clubs, which are often fraudulent products sold in a deceptive way. In July, the agency clamped down on one scheme to lure travelers into paying hefty upfront fees for a timeshare resale service. The club falsely claimed it had prospective buyers for properties it wanted to sell. And in October the FTC reached a $125 million settlement with the operators of a bogus trade association, called the Independent Association of Businesses, which sold travel services and insurance. The FTC left the issue of mandatory resort fees being added to the price of a hotel room unresolved this year. In late 2012 the agency sent warning letters to 22 hotel operators that their online reservation sites might violate the law by offering a misleadingly low estimate of their hotel rooms’ cost. Agencywatchers predicted that that would result in the end of hotel fees, but the FTC now says it just wanted the fees to be disclosed upfront. Mary Engle, director of the agency’s Division of Advertising Practices, said, “It’s not upfront to lure people in with a low price and then tack on hidden fees.” If nothing else, the FTC’s enforcement actions make travelers aware of their rights, consumer advocate Mitch Lipka says. Travelers “don’t always do what advocates hope they will, but the agency does raise red flags for consumers.” The DOT’s Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings, which enforces airline regulations, spent the last six years putting big numbers on the board when it comes to fines. Total DOT fines rose from $2.6 million in 2009 to $3.7 million in 2010 and climbed to $4.1 million in 2012 and $7.1 million last year, a record. But last year, the transportation secretary signaled a change in course, from a punitive to preventive enforcement. That resulted in much lower fines this year. Instead of writing lots of tickets, the agency spent more energy on a making a rule that could give passengers more rights, and on what it calls “outreach.” For example, in May, the agency issued a notice of proposed rulemaking — the first step toward creating a regulation — designed to increase consumer protection for airline passengers. At the center of the proposal is a requirement that airlines and ticket agents reveal fees for a first and second checked bag, a carryon item and the option to choose seats in advance. In July, the DOT also expanded its rule mandating reports of death, injury or loss of animals during air transport to cover more airlines. And by the end of the year, the agency expects to issue a rule that will let passengers traveling with a musical instrument to bring the instrument as carry-on or checked baggage without “unreasonable” surcharges. The government fines are modest compared with those in the past. There’s a $500,000 consent order against Asiana Airlines for multiple failures to accommodate the family members of passengers after the July 6 crash of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco. And there’s a $100,000 fine against Delta Air Lines and a $200,000 fine against Southwest Airlines for failing to disclose a total airfare in advertisements. The DOT says its work happened out of the public view. It hosted forums on issues affecting air travelers with disabilities and meetings that brought airline representatives and professional musicians together to resolve the problems of passengers who fly with instruments. For some, the government’s collective actions come as a disappointment. The fines were low to begin with — just a fraction of the airline industry’s $200 billion in annual revenue. Now, they are all but gone. “DOT negotiates all fines into consent orders with the airline admitting no wrongdoing and hardly ever providing any compensation to wronged passengers,” says Paul Hudson, president of FlyersRights.org. “Airline regulation is broken.” Kevin Mitchell, founder of the Business Travel Coalition, which advocates for corporate travelers, says that lowering fines sends the wrong message, both to airlines and fliers. Thanks to federal pre-emption, which limits a passenger’s ability to sue an airline, fliers rely on the DOT to enforce the rules. “DOT enforcement has never been more critical,” he adds. “Industry consolidation has resulted in four mega-airlines, which dominate the market, down from 10 major airlines 12 years ago.” Christopher Elliott, National Geographic Traveler’s reader advocate, maintains a consumer advocate website at elliott.org.

A morning class at Yogaville, in which even eyeballs get to stretch.

IF YOU GO What: Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville Where: Buckingham, Va. More information: 434-969-3121, www. yogaville.org Details: Dormitory rooms are $75 to $85 per night. Private rooms are $95 to $140 per night. Tent sites are $50 to $60 per adult, per site. Meals and classes are included in the room rates. For those not sleeping at Yogaville, drop-in rates for classes are $10 each.

Guests looking for physical as well as spiritual enlightenment can patronize one of the many practitioners of bodywork and alternative medicine in the nearby vicinity; not officially endorsed by Yogaville, most of the practitioners are current or former students who stayed in the area to practice massage, ayurvedic medicine and more. To leaven the intensity of our yoga and meditation classes, we toured the acres of Yogaville’s grounds, replete with wooded walking paths. The breathtaking view from the Lord Shiva Nataraja Shrine, with its panorama of the Blue Ridge mountains, is oddly reminiscent of nearby Monticello — if Monticello sported a 7-foot-tall bronze statue

LASTING IMAGES THE BIG BOOK Gary Iverson took this photo of the large walled complex in Mandalay, Myanmar, called Kuthodaw Paya, which contains what is often referred to as the world’s largest book. There are 729 shrines, and each shrine contains a marble slab, inscribed on both sides. All the marble slabs together contain the entire collection of early Buddhist writings.

of the Hindu lord of the dance encased in glass. In the valley below, the flower-shaped Lotus (for Light of Truth Universal Shrine), Yogaville’s interfaith shrine, appears to float in a man-made lake. In the summer, guests can use the lake for swimming and kayaking. The ashram’s farm is visible from the mountaintop as well; worked by monks and students at the ashram, it provides fresh local produce to the Yogaville kitchens. After touring the Lotus shrine and its displays, which highlight the interfaith commonality of world religions, we stopped in the adjoining gift shop, where books by Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh are sold alongside magnets bearing the likeness of Satchidananda. Returning to the dining hall, we found that Sunday lunch at the ashram featured an Italian-style vegetarian meal with pasta, a choice of two kinds of tomato-based sauces, homemade rolls, roasted butternut squash, mushrooms and a salad bar. As we drove away that afternoon, through twisting Blue Ridge mountain roads lined with fiery trees of deep bright autumnal shades, we realized Satchidananda chose his location well. There may be more luxurious options for a yoga getaway, but none in a more beautiful natural setting.
