16-year-old abducted day after burial of 3 kidnapped Israeli teens

Contractor hired to pack waste lays off 40 this week, 83 total since March

The New York Times

JERUSALEM — The abduction and killing of a Palestinian teenager whose burned body was found in a Jerusalem forest Wednesday further poisoned relations between Israelis and Palestinians and prompted international outrage as the police investigated the death as a possible Israeli revenge killing.

The death of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 16, came a day after the burial of three Israeli teenagers who were kidnapped and killed in the occupied West Bank last month. The killing of the teenager set off fierce riots in the ordinarily quiet and relatively wellto-do East Jerusalem neighborhood where he lived, threatening to ignite broader unrest and underlining deep fissures in Israeli society.

The abductions and killings of the Israeli and Palestinian teenagers raised the specter of individual vendettas within the broader conflict, making it all the more personal.

Both sides, while angry and grieving, seemed stunned by the turn of events, in which each side sees itself as both victim and perpetrator.

More realistic pricing seems to be driving the volume, according to agents. And more low-cost homes under construction by groups such as Homewise are bringing prices down in Santa Fe, while higher inventory and a poor economy are keeping the lid on price appreciation.

The Feb. 14 radiation leak at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad has sparked layoffs by a Los Alamos National Laboratory contractor.

EnergySolutions, the private company hired to pack mixed radioactive waste for shipment from Los Alamos to Carlsbad, laid off 40 employees Monday, for a total of 83 layoffs since the end of March.

Of the 40 employees laid off Monday, 28 were local people and four had relocated to Northern New Mexico for the lab waste project. EnergySolutions spokesman Mark Walker wasn’t sure how many of the other people laid off earlier were local.

Lab officials said the layoff coincided with the June 30 expiration of the lab’s subcontract with EnergySolutions.

But a company spokesman said some of the layoffs were made because LANL needed to shift funding to pay for storage of waste containers at a Texas facility after the radiation leak closed WIPP and to pay for part of the ongoing investigation into the leak.

EnergySolutions, based in Salt Lake City, was hired to repackage and ship out 3,706 cubic meters of transuranic waste by June 30. Transuranic waste consists of contaminated laboratory equipment and clothing, along with some liquids, used during nuclear research over the past several decades.

All of the transuranic waste had been packaged and ready to ship by the end of March, according to

Low-end homes drive market Second-quarter home sales in Santa Fe County

2007 (market high) 2009 (market low) 2014

Coleen Dearing describes the first half of 2014 as the “Come to Jesus Market” for Santa Fe home sellers.

Buyers who have long delayed putting their homes up for sale have realized that prices are not going to spring back to 2006-07 levels anytime soon, said Dearing, an associate with Coldwell Banker Trails West Realty and president of the Santa Fe Association of Realtors.

“I think people were waiting for the market to get better and that it would magically spring back to 2007 levels,” she said. “They have seen the writing on the wall — it’s not going to be overnight. It’s going to be years, perhaps a decade, before we see those levels, so they need to get motivated.”

Democratic lawmakers want to invoke the Legislature’s seldom-used subpoena authority to compel the Martinez administration to answer questions about its abrupt shake-up last year in the behavioral health care system for low-income patients.

Sens. Bill O’Neill and Gerald Ortiz y Pino, both Albuquerque Democrats, issued a statement Wednesday calling for legislative scrutiny of a decision by Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration to freeze Medicaid funding for 15 New Mexico providers that were suspected of fraud — and the hiring of five Arizona firms to replace them.

An audit by Public Consulting Group conducted between February and June of last year reported up to $36 million in suspected billing fraud by the New Mexico providers. A review of the audit’s findings by the state Attorney General’s Office has since cleared two of the companies.

Investigations into 10 more of them are ongoing. Three of the companies returned to work for the state after reaching settlement agreements soon after the audit.

O’Neill and Ortiz y Pino said their demand for an inquiry into the handoff was spurred by reports this week in The New Mexican that showed the

WASHINGTON — Five years after the Great Recession officially ended, most states still haven’t regained all the jobs they lost, even though the nation as a whole has.

In May, the overall economy finally recovered all 9 million jobs that vanished in the worst downturn since the 1930s. Another month of solid hiring is expected in the U.S. jobs report for June that will be released Thursday.

Yet 32 states still have fewer jobs than when the recession began in December 2007 — evidence of the unevenness and persistently slow pace of the recovery.

Even though economists declared the recession over in June 2009, New Mexico remains down more than 36,000 jobs. Ranked by percentage, the state is near the bottom, with 4.3 percent fewer jobs than before the downturn.

Illinois is still down 184,000 jobs from pre-recession levels. New Jersey is down 147,000. Both states were hurt by layoffs at factories. Florida is down 170,000 in the aftermath of its real estate market collapse.

In brief WASHINGTON — A lawyer for a Libyan militant charged in the 2012 Benghazi attacks said Wednesday that she had seen no evidence tying her client to the violence, but a judge nonetheless directed Ahmed Abu Khattala to remain in custody as the Justice Department builds its case against him.

The lawyer, Michelle Peterson, conceded that Abu Khattala had no reasonable chance of being released at the moment, given the terrorism-related charge he faces and his lack of ties to the United States. But she also argued that prosecutors had failed to show, in their broad and initial outlines of the case, that he was in any way connected to the Sept.

11, 2012, attacks that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Abu Khattala has pleaded not guilty to a charge of conspiring to provide support to terrorists, a crime punishable by up to life in prison, but the Justice Department has said it expects to bring additional charges soon that could reveal more information about the case.

Target asks customers to leave guns at home

By Sonia Peez

The Associated Press

SAN JOSE LAS FLORES, Guatemala ilberto Ramos wanted to leave his chilly mountain village for the United States to earn money to treat his mother’s epilepsy.

His mother begged him not to go. “The better treatment would have been if he stayed,” Cipriana Juarez Diaz said in a tearful interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday. When he wouldn’t relent, she draped him with a white rosary for safe passage.

A month later, his decaying body was found in the Texas desert.

Now, the boy has become a symbol for the perils faced by a record flood of unaccompanied children from Central America who are crossing illegally into the U.S. Authorities said Monday that Gilberto was 11, which would have made him one of the youngest known children to die crossing the desert. But his parents said Tuesday that Gilberto was 15.

The parents explained that they had taken several years to register his birth because of the remoteness of their village in Guatemala’s northern mountains.

When they did, they had forgotten Gilberto’s actual birth date, so they listed the same date as his younger brother.

The boy was shirtless, having likely suffered heat stroke, but still wearing the rosary. “He was a good son,” Juarez said. “May God give me the strength to endure.”

Teenage boys seeking work have long been part of the stream of young men heading north from Central America to escape poverty and gang violence. But the number of unaccompanied immigrant children picked up along the U.S. border has been rising for three years.

Scientists withdraw report on stem cells NEW YORK — U.S. and Japanese scientists who reported that they’d found a startlingly simple way to make stem cells withdrew that claim Wednesday, admitting to “extensive” errors in the research.

In two papers published in January in the journal Nature, the researchers said that they’d been able to transform ordinary mouse cells into versatile stem cells by exposing them to a mildly acidic environment. Someday, scientists hope to harness stem cells to grow replacement tissue for treating a variety of diseases.

But before long, the government-funded Riken Center for Developmental Biology in Japan accused one of its scientists, Haruko Obokata, of falsifying data in the research. On Wednesday, Nature released a statement from Obokata and the other authors that retracted the papers. The scientists acknowledged “extensive” errors that meant “we are unable to say without a doubt” that the method works.

dren traveling alone and parents traveling with young kids would be released by U.S. authorities and allowed to continue to their destination. Gilberto, too, had heard in Guatemala that if he got in, he would be allowed to stay, his family said.

He was born and grew up in San Jose Las Flores, a village ein the Cuchumatanes mountains of Huehuetenango province along the Mexico border.

There is no running or potable water and only a latrine in the family home. The cluster of homes where Gilberto lived is accessible only by foot, a difficult walk of nearly a mile along a rocky and often muddy mile-long path through the canyons. Gilberto took that path each way to school, where he went as far as third grade before dropping out.

“He had to work to help the family,” said his teacher, Francisco Hernandez, who remembered that Gilberto loved to draw.

More than half of 50 schoolchildren attending now raised their hands Tuesday when asked if they had family in the U.S., shouting, “I have eight,” ”seven,” ”three!”

There are both mining jobs and drug traffickers in the border state, but neither touch the remote village where Gilberto grew up.

improved when the oldest son, Esbin Ramos, reached Chicago and started working in a restaurant. He sends $100 to $120 a month when he can afford it, allowing the family to build a two-room home out of cement block to replace their wooden shack and paint it bright red and green. Gilberto slept on a piece of foam on the floor.

Short, quiet and humble, he stayed close to home. But he grew despairing and bored, Esbin Ramos said. Meanwhile, their mother got sicker. The older brother suggested Gilberto come to Chicago, where he could return to school and work at night and on weekends.

Gilberto set out May 17 with a change of clothes and a backpack along the same path as his brother, walking the rugged road to the center of town and then hitching a ride to Chiantla to meet up with the smuggler, known as a coyote.

He left his cowboy boots behind because he didn’t want them to get ruined, his father said.

The trip cost $5,400, and the family had borrowed $2,600 of that, paying $2,000 the first week of the journey and another $600 the week before he died. They still owe the debt.

“I’m OK, just the deposit the money,” Gilberto told his father as he was about to cross into Texas.

Then Gilberto and the coyote disappeared. His parents tried to call the coyote. Four days passed, then five, then six. By the eighth day, Esbin Ramos was worried. He called the Guatemalan consulate in Houston seeking help, he said.

Then he got a call from a woman in McAllen, Texas, from what agency he doesn’t know, telling him his brother was dead.

They had found the body June 15, authorities said, and Esbin’s phone number on the inside of Gilberto’s belt buckle.

The Guatemalan consulate in the United States notified the family on Tuesday that Gilberto’s body would be returned soon, whenever there is an available flight.

His father is already preparing his grave site in the local cemetery.

Militant’s lawyer cites lack of evidence

Target Corp. on Wednesday said it would “respectfully request” that its customers no longer carry firearms inside its stores, after facing mounting pressure from gun-control activists who put the chain in the crosshairs of a national debate about open carry laws.

The change will apply to both concealed and unconcealed guns in all of the Minneapolis-based retailer’s nearly 1,800 U.S. stores, the company confirmed.

Target is the latest large retailer to be drawn into the gun-control debate. Last September, Starbucks asked its patrons to leave their guns at home, and Chipotle, Jack in the Box, Sonic Drive-In, and Chili’s Grill & Bar all made similar requests in May. Facebook and Instagram also recently announced plans to tighten their policies governing images and posts selling firearms.

NEW YORK — Tibetans living on the “roof of the world” can thank an extinct human relative for providing a gene that helps them adapt to the high altitude, a study suggests.

Past research has concluded that a particular gene helps people live in the thin air of the Tibetan plateau.

Now scientists report that the Tibetan version of that gene is found in DNA from Denisovans, a poorly understood human relative more closely related to Neanderthals than modern people.

Denisovans are known only from fossils in a Siberian cave that are dated to at least about 50,000 years ago.

Some of their DNA has also been found in other modern populations, indicating they interbred with ancient members of today’s human race long ago.

But the version of the highaltitude gene shared by Denisovans and Tibetans is found in virtually no other population today, researchers report in an article released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

That suggests that Denisovans or close relatives of theirs introduced the gene variant into the modern human species, but that it remained rare until some people started moving into the Tibetan plateau, said study main author Rasmus Nielsen of the University of California, Berkeley.

At that point, it conferred a survival advantage and so spread through the Tibetan population, he said.

The results show that as early members of today’s human species expanded outside of Africa and encountered new environments, they could call on their genetic legacies from other species, he said. That’s easier than waiting for a helpful genetic mutation to arise, he said.

The Tibetan plateau rises above 13,000 feet in elevation.

The genetic variant helps survival there by affecting the amount of oxygen the blood can carry when a person is in thin air. Apart from Tibetans, it is found very rarely in Han Chinese and also exists in Mongolians and Sherpas, who are also related to Tibetans.

Iraqi PM says defeating militants is priority

Extemist group tries to tighten grip in Iraq, Syria

By Ryan Lucas and Zeina Karam The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Fresh from success in Iraq, a Sunni extremist group tried to tighten its hold Wednesday on territory in Syria and crush pockets of resistance on land straddling the border where it has declared the foundation of an Islamic state.

Embattled Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki warned that the entire region is endangered by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, whose gunmen have rampaged across his

country in recent weeks. Facing pressure to step aside, al-Maliki said the focus must be on countering the threat — not wholesale leadership changes.

The militant group has fed off the chaos and supercharged sectarian atmosphere of Syria’s civil war to seize control of a large chunk of territory there. With its recent blitz across Iraq, it has expanded its gains while also effectively erasing the border between the two countries and laying the groundwork of its proto-state.

Led by an ambitious Iraqi militant known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the group this week unilaterally declared the establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in the land it has seized. It also proclaimed al-Baghdadi the head

reviled by most Syrian rebel groups.

On Wednesday, nine Syrian rebel groups, including a powerful coalition called the Islamic Front, rejected alBaghdadi’s declaration of a caliphate.

In his weekly address, Iraq’s prime minister warned that the group’s selfproclaimed caliphate meant “no one in Iraq or any neighboring country will be safe from these plans.”

The failure of al-Maliki’s Shiite-led government to promote reconciliation is being blamed for fueling the Sunni insurgency. Sunnis and Kurds, both of whom accuse him of breaking promises and trying to monopolize power, demand that he be replaced.

Al-Maliki did not directly address calls to step down, but he did say the

of its new self-styled state governed

by Shariah law and demanded that all Muslims pledge allegiance to him.

Its assault in Iraq appears to have slowed after sweeping across the predominantly Sunni Arab areas and encountering stiff resistance in Shiitemajority regions.

The group — which has changed its name simply to the Islamic State — is

focus should be on turning back the militants — and not political changes.

“The priority today in the battle is security. The battle today is first before everything,” he said.

The new parliament met Tuesday for the first time since April’s elections amid hopes for the swift formation of a government. But lawmakers deadlocked.

Al-Maliki acknowledged the failure of the first session, but expressed hope for a quick resolution when parliament meets next week. “God willing, in the next session, we will overcome it through cooperation and openness and reality in choosing people and a mechanism that would lead us to a solid political process,” he said.

Dems court new political powerhouse: Single women Party’s challenge is getting potential voters to the polls in November

By Jackie Calmes The New York Times

RALEIGH, N.C. — The decline of marriage over the past generation has helped create an emerging voting bloc of unmarried women that is profoundly reshaping the U.S. electorate to the advantage, recent elections suggest, of the Democratic Party. What is far from clear is whether Democrats will benefit in the midterm contests this fall.

With their Senate majority at stake in November, Democrats and allied

groups are now stepping up an aggressive push to woo single women — young and old, highly educated and working class, never married and divorced or widowed. This week, they seized on the ruling by the Supreme Court’s conservative majority, five men, that family-owned corporations do not have to provide birth control in their insurance coverage, to buttress their arguments that Democrats better represent women’s interests.

But the challenge for Democrats is that many single women do not vote, especially in nonpresidential election years like this one. While voting declines across all groups in midterm contests for Congress and lower offices, the drop-off is steepest for minorities

and unmarried women. The result is a turnout that is older, whiter and more conservative than in presidential years.

Half of all adult women older than 18 are unmarried — 56 million, up from 45 million in 2000 — and now account for 1 in 4 people of voting age. (Adult Hispanics eligible to vote, a group that gets more attention, number 25 million this year.) Single women have become Democrats’ most reliable supporters, behind African Americans: In 2012, two-thirds of single women who voted supported President Barack Obama.

Among married women, a slim majority supported Mitt Romney.

“You have a group that’s growing in size, and becoming more politically concentrated in terms of the Demo-

crats,” said Tom W. Smith, director of the General Social Survey at the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.

Single women, Democrats say, will determine whether they keep Senate seats in states including North Carolina, Alaska, Michigan, Colorado and Iowa — and with them, their Senate majority — and seize governorships in Pennsylvania, Florida and Wisconsin, among other states.

The party is using advanced datagathering techniques to identify unmarried women, especially those who have voted in presidential elections but skipped midterms. By mail, online, phone and personal contact, Democrats and their allies are spread-

ing the word about Republicans’ opposition in Washington to pay equity, minimum wage and college-affordability legislation, abortion and contraception rights, Planned Parenthood and education spending.

In the 2012 presidential election, 58 percent of single women voted.

This fall that could slide to 39 percent, according to projections from the nonpartisan Voter Participation Center.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee calls its new voter-mobilization program ROSIE, evoking Rosie the Riveter, for “Reengaging Our Sisters in Elections.” The Voter Participation Center has sent registration materials to single women in 24 states.

Open N.Y. court ruling favors small-town fracking bans July Landmark decision could impact drilling fight across nation

By Steven Mufson

The Washington Post

Three years ago, the multibillion-dollar Denver-based Anschutz Exploration Corp., which helped make its founder Philip Anschutz one of the richest men in America, filed a lawsuit against Dryden, a small town in upstate New York.

The issue: Dryden was sitting on top of some of the best shale gas prospects in the country, and Anschutz had bought a substantial number of leases giving it the right to drill there. But in August that year, Dryden — like towns across the country seeking to restrain the rush to drill for shale oil — had banned the combination of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling known as fracking.

It did this by adopting new language for its zoning laws and by citing road use regulations, noise limits and the need to protect 31 “critical environmental areas.”

This week in a landmark decision, the New York State Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the town of Dryden and another town, Middlefield, which had been sued separately over similar local ordinances.

While it applies to local governments across the state of New York, the court’s 5-2 decision in favor of “home rule” by towns and counties will reverberate across the country, where many other local governments — including New Mexico’s Mora County — are putting up a fight to slow what has become a massive national shift toward natural gas production.

“This is simply a victory for local control,” said Dryden town board member Linda Lavine, a retired psychology professor. “It is a victory for liberals and conservatives of all sorts. It is what democracy is all about.”

There has been a wave of local resolutions, laws or proposals to ban or limit fracking and the disposal of fracking waste, including 35 such efforts in New Jersey, 13 in California, 10 in Colorado, 18 in Michigan and many more in Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, according to activist group Food and Water Watch. Even the District has adopted a resolution urging a prohibition on fracking in the George Washington National Forest.

In the eyes of the oil and gas industry, though, putting the power to regulate fracking in local hands is bad for business and bad for U.S. energy policy.

Shale gas drilling has unlocked vast reserves, and shale gas now accounts for about 40 percent of total U.S. natural gas production. Without it, companies would be lining up to import natural gas, not export it as many now want to do.

The New York decision — and the whole issue of local resistance to fracking — also has broad political implications.

In New York, it eases pressure on Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to take a position on fracking. Cuomo, widely believed to have national political ambitions, has avoided taking a position on fracking while sticking with a 6-year-old “temporary” moratorium he inherited when he came into office in 2011. He has maintained the moratorium pending the outcome of a health study. That

study probably won’t be done until after his next gubernatorial election.

In Colorado, where Democratic Sen. Mark Udall is in a tough re-election race that will hinge in part on a variety of energy issues, the decision in New York is likely to encourage local foes of fracking.

Fifty-nine percent of voters in Longmont, Colo., cast ballots in favor of a ban on fracking and waste disposal even though nationwide industry groups poured money into Longmont Taxpayers for Common Sense, which opposed the ban. Since then, four more Colorado towns have also banned or declared long moratoriam on fracking.

Court challenges have been filed.

Udall, who appears to be seeking middle ground, has said that some areas should be offlimits to shale drilling. But at a forum in May, he said, “it has risks but it can be done safely.

We can find a balance between protecting our land and air and water and have jobs,” according to the Denver Business Journal.

On his website, he says, “As Coloradans, we want our country to be energy independent, but we don’t want to sacrifice our land, water and air.” He vowed to press for higher safety standards, but not to ban drilling.

And Democratic Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who has imposed disclosure and leak prevention rules on the industry, also opposes local fracking bans. Hickenlooper is now seeking a special legislative session this summer in order to pass a compromise bill on the issue; if the bill fails, the fracking question is likely to be put on the ballot this fall for voters to decide.

Each state is different, however.

The issue in the New York court case was whether towns like Dryden and Middlefield, which includes part of the village of Cooperstown, have the right to limit oil and gas drilling through their local zoning laws or whether the state’s Oil, Gas and Solution Mining Law preempts the home rule authority

to regulate land use.

Industry groups condemned this week’s decision.

“A regime where you essentially have local control of the process at the township level is a challenge and is more problematic for companies than if you had a statewide program,” said Frank Macchiarola, executive vice president for government affairs at America’s Natural Gas Alliance, an industry group.

“The regulatory structure at the state level is substantially better for a number of reasons.

One is the expertise brought to bear by the state department of environmental conservation versus the local or county council.”

But foes of fracking cheered the state court ruling. They asserted that the drilling would risk exposure to toxic substances and that it would destroy the rural and small town atmosphere central to the identity of these communities.

Suspect’s death leaves mysteries in child rape case

Year after shocking terrorist attack, residents hope for Westerners’ return

Investigators have little information on victims after apparent suicide

By Tim Craig

By Mitch Weiss, Ray Henry and Kate Brumback

The Washington Post

FAIRY MEADOWS, Pakistan or more than five decades, locals have called it “Killer Mountain,” a reminder of the risks of trying to scale beautiful, snow-topped Nanga Parbat.

More than 100 climbers and porters have died on the steep, rocky ascent up the world’s ninth-highest mountain — a fact Pakistan once touted in a bid to lure thrill-seekers.

Now, however, local residents are frantically trying to scrub the word “killer” from a mountain that has become a symbol of the threat posed by the Pakistani Taliban.

One year ago this month, about a dozen heavily armed Pakistani Taliban militants executed 10 foreign mountain climbers, including a U.S. citizen, at the base of the mountain. It was one of the worst acts of violence to strike the international climbing community.

Terrorism is hardly unusual in Pakistan; at least 3,000 people died last year alone in the country in violence attributed to Islamic extremists. But the attack at Nanga Parbat was a major blow, horrifying citizens who view the majestic northern mountains as a source of national pride.

“As a Pakistani, I look at it as our Sept. 11,” said Nazir Sabir, who in 2000 became the first Pakistani to climb Mount Everest in Nepal. He now operates an Islamabad-based tour company. “We never, never, ever thought that this could happen.”

The attack also crushed the remnants of Pakistan’s international tourism industry, creating new hardship in a part of the country known for its tolerance and hospitality.

The loss of foreign climbers was so distressing that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif cited it as one reason he ordered a military offensive against the Pakistani Taliban in North Waziristan this month.

Pakistan is home to five of the world’s 14 highest peaks, including K2, the secondhighest mountain in the world. Nanga Parbat, at 26,660 feet, is Pakistan’s second-highest mountain.

After the attack, the number of foreign mountain climbers collapsed.

“It may take years and years before they will consider going back to a place like

Pakistan,” said Steve Swenson, past president of the American Alpine Club, who has been on 11 climbing expeditions in Pakistan over the past three decades. “I talked to a lot of people, even fairly knowledgeable people, about going there again, and their immediate response is: Is it safe? And then a not-unusual response is: Are you crazy?”

According to local officials and residents, the Pakistani Taliban attackers hiked through the wilderness for three days to reach the base camp on the western side of the mountain, known as the Diamir Face, late on June 22, 2013.

“Taliban! Al-Qaida! Surrender!” the militants shouted as they marched into the camp, where the climbers and about three dozen porters slept.

The assailants went looking for foreigners, slashing more than 40 tents with knives.

They yanked people from their tents — one Lithuanian, three Ukrainians, two Slovakians, two Chinese, one American and one Nepali — tied their hands behind their backs and made them kneel in a row in the moonlight.

“Then, suddenly, we a heard a shot,” said one 31-year-old Pakistani climber, who was

tied up by the militants nearby.

He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he continues to fear for his safety.

“Then we heard hundreds of ‘brrr, brrr, brrr’ sounds,” like an automatic weapon might make, he said. “Then a leader of the group came and shot all the dead bodies one by one again.”

One militant then shouted, “This is the day we take revenge for Osama bin Laden,” the man recounted — an apparent reference to the U.S. killing of the al-Qaida leader in Pakistan two years earlier.

Only one foreign climber — a Chinese man who hid in a steep trench clutching a pickax — survived. The attackers also killed a Pakistani cook, apparently because he was Shiite.

Pakistani police later arrested six people who reportedly confessed to the crime.

Before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, hundreds of thousands of tourists traveled each year to Pakistan’s GilgitBaltistan district, where the Himalayan, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountain ranges meet. There were 20,000 tourists in northern Pakistan on the day of the attacks on New York and Washington alone, but afterward the country was lucky to attract half that number in an entire year, said Tayyab Nisar Mir, a manager at the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation.

Those who did come were almost exclusively mountain climbers and long-distance backpackers determined to explore some of the world’s most picturesque scenery.

Although there were about 150 climbing expeditions a year in the country in the 1980s and 1990s, and about 75 annually after 9/11, only about

30 are likely to occur this year, officials said. And no climbers are expected this summer at Nanga Parbat.

The number of backpackers has declined even more dramatically, Mir said. “Nanga Parbat was the last nail in the coffin of tourism in Pakistan,” he said, adding that the loss of tourism is costing the country $100 million annually.

Officials in Gilgit-Baltistan stress that the massacre was an isolated tragedy. They have been going to great lengths to reassure visitors that the region is safe.

At Fairy Meadows, a village that overlooks the northwest face of Nanga Parbat and the Raikot glacier, the tourism industry has “collapsed, causing hopelessness,” said Raji Rehmal, a resident.

The village of about 50 extended families is so remote that there are few other economic opportunities.

Rehmal, who estimates that he is 50 years old, says he has walked at least 13,000 miles working as a guide or porter for foreigners. His work helped pay for the construction of a school for the village.

“In the good days, there were doctors who used to bring medicine, and Westerners who used to linger longer just to teach the local kids,” Rehmal said. “We would never, ever think of harming any tourist, any foreigner.”

Pakistani hikers in the area also said they miss the foreign visitors. “We have so little to be proud of, so if there is something as impressive as this, and foreigners come praise it, it’s a psychological lift,” said Nashreem Ghori, a 41-year-old Karachi native who was hiking near Fairy Meadows.

Amid rising tuitions, 8 colleges spend big on Clinton speeches

By Philip Rucker

The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — At least eight universities, including four public institutions, have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for Hillary Rodham Clinton to speak on their campuses over the past year, sparking a backlash from some student groups and teachers at a time of austerity in higher education.

In one previously undisclosed transaction, the University of Connecticut — which just raised tuition by 6.5 percent — paid $251,250 for Clinton to speak on campus in April. Other examples include $300,000 to address UCLA in March and $225,000 for a speech scheduled to occur in October at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas.

The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate also has been paid for speeches at the University at Buffalo, Colgate University and Hamilton College in New York, as well as Simmons College in Massachusetts and the University of Miami in Florida.

Officials at those five schools refused to say what they paid Clinton. But if she earned her standard fee of $200,000 or more, that would mean she took in at least $1.8 million in speaking income from universities over the past nine months.

Since stepping down as secretary of state in early 2013, Clinton has given dozens of paid speeches to industry conventions and Wall Street banks.

But Clinton’s acceptance of high fees for university visits has drawn particularly sharp criticism, with some students and academic officials saying the expenditures are a poor use of funds at a time of steep tuition hikes and budget cuts across higher education.

At UNLV, where officials have agreed to raise tuition by 17 percent over the next four years, student government leaders wrote a letter to Clinton last week asking her to return the planned $225,000 fee to the university. If she does not, they say, they intend to protest her visit.

“The students are outraged about this,” said Elias Benjel-

loun, UNLV’s student body president. “When you see reckless spending, it just belittles the sacrifices students are consistently asked to make.

I’m not an accountant or economist, so I can’t put a price tag on how much we should be paying her, but I think she should come for free.”

Clinton’s spokesman, Nick Merrill, declined to comment on the UNLV students’ request.

At seven of the eight universities listed, officials said her fee was paid through a lecture series endowment or private donations and not by tapping tuition, student fees or public dollars. A spokeswoman for Simmons declined to discuss the school’s arrangement with Clinton.

Merrill said the UCLA and UNLV fees are dedicated to go to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, the family’s nonprofit group.

Merrill said he did not know whether the other six payments went to the foundation.

He also could not say whether the Harry Walker Agency, the speaker’s bureau that man-

Hillary Rodham Clinton ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

ages Clinton’s appearances, received a portion of the fees.

Don Walker, the agency’s president, did not respond to a request for comment.

Clinton’s six-figure campus speaking fees could become a political liability for her in the 2016 campaign given that President Barack Obama and other Democrats have made college affordability a central plank of the party’s agenda.

Student debt is a signature issue for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., whom some liberals would like to see challenge Clinton in a primary. It’s also something Clinton has talked about.

“I worry that we’re closing the doors to higher education in our own country,” Clinton said in March at a higher education conference in Texas.

“This great model that we’ve had that’s meant so much to so many is becoming further and further away from too many.”

Matthew Coniglio’s Georgia home held a trove of child pornography, more than 50,000 images and videos stored on laptops, external hard drives and thumb drives.

Among the stash, hidden in a bedside table turned around to conceal the doors, authorities made an even more horrifying discovery: 56 8-millimeter cassette tapes they say show him raping and molesting girls.

All were unconscious, apparently drugged, FBI Special Agent William Kirkconnell, who viewed the tapes, told The AssociMatthew ated Press.

Coniglio Some were so incapacitated they were snoring. The camera was always turned off before they awoke.

Many of the victims’ faces cannot be clearly identified, so investigators don’t know how many different girls were attacked. But each tape recorded at least one assault — some had more — in homes and hotels. The youngest victim appears to be about 10 years old.

As for the alleged perpetrator, a 46-year-old traveling salesman who worked and lived in cities across Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, “he often looks back at the camera and even speaks,” Kirkconnell said. “There’s no doubt it’s Matthew Coniglio.

None at all.”

Who were these girls? Do they know what happened to them? Could there be other victims?

The FBI shared exclusive details of the case with AP in the hope that victims will step forward and can be offered help and counseling. The AP also uncovered other exclusive details of Coniglio’s past and his previous encounters with the law.

Authorities’ best chance for resolving the raft of unanswered questions vanished on April 20. Ten days after his arrest, Coniglio wrote goodbye letters to his parents, tied a cord to a vent above a sink in his jail cell and hanged himself in an apparent suicide.

Never charged Nearly a decade before his arrest, Coniglio sat in a South Carolina deputy sheriff’s office and was asked point-blank if he was a pedophile. “He said that he was not,” Deputy Angela Olds wrote in her 2005 investigation into an incident involving Coniglio, according to records obtained by the AP. At the time, Coniglio worked selling food products in Hilton Head, and at one diner he told an employee that he and a partner had started a modeling agency. He asked to take pictures of the woman’s 11-year-old daughter at a mall.

The girls’ parents agreed. The AP is withholding the family’s name because it does not generally identify possible victims of sexual abuse.

The girl and her father met Coniglio in the diner parking lot, the father told deputies.

After the father agreed to meet them at the mall, the girl left in Coniglio’s car. Records show Coniglio took her to a hotel room rigged with video cameras and offered her a soda. He asked her to flop down on a bed.

The girl, when questioned by authorities, never said she was assaulted but said she felt uncomfortable at the hotel and demanded that Coniglio take her home. At some point he did. She also said she thought she was at the hotel for no more than an hour, while her parents said she was missing for several hours.

During a voluntary inter-

view with deputies, Coniglio said the girl was the first he tried to photograph for his fledgling business. He denied taking any pictures, and said he had apologized to the girl’s mother “because he knows that it looks bad,” Olds wrote.

He denied he was aroused by children, Olds wrote in her report. Now a master sergeant at the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, Olds, who now uses the last name Viens, declined an interview.

Coniglio was never charged.

'Troubled soul’ He grew up in a suburban home in Kingwood, Texas, with his mom, dad and sister, Coniglio’s mother, Betty Coniglio, told the AP. He wanted to be a writer, penning poetry and plays. But after college, Coniglio followed his father into the food distribution industry.

Betty Coniglio described her son as outgoing, and she remembered friends calling him at all hours for advice or solace. She added that she does not believe her son was guilty.

“I guess if this was true he was leading a double life,” she said.

There were problems, however. After his arrest this year, Coniglio told a jailhouse nurse that he drank heavily — up to 13 beers and cocktails daily, records show. And he had at least two prior arrests related to alcohol, most recently for driving drunk in 2000.

The videos suggest the attacks on the girls started around the time of the 2000 arrest or earlier, investigators said. It wasn’t until March, however, that a police officer in Pooler, Ga., where Coniglio lived, identified him as a suspect in an online child pornography case. Investigators got a search warrant, and found the tapes.

Charged with possessing child pornography, Coniglio hadn’t entered a plea before he died. Kirkconnell said authorities planned to bring federal charges but never got the chance. Coniglio’s lawyer, Tom Edenfield, declined to comment.

Former FBI Assistant Director Ronald Hosko said it is not uncommon for molesters to have multiple victims. They are skilled at developing trust, and adept at appearing otherwise law-abiding and safe.

“To think you know by looking at somebody — chances are you’re way off the mark,” Hosko said.

Coniglio’s death could make it impossible for authorities to find his victims and learn the scale of his alleged crimes.

Investigators believe he killed himself while alone at the Chatham County jail in Savannah, Ga., and that he may have plotted the attempt for days. His cellmate told investigators Coniglio had asked for an hour of privacy in their cell in the evenings, right after guards usually finished a round of checks. A jail guard resigned after he was accused of failing to perform required cell checks around the time Coniglio died.

As part of its effort to find victims, the FBI created a confidential online questionnaire that victims or others with information can fill out to be contacted by investigators.

So far, only a single victim has been identified.

Her mother, a friend of Coniglio’s when he lived in Charleston, S.C., allowed the girl to spend unsupervised time with him.

In letters he wrote to his parents before his death and obtained by the AP under open records laws, Coniglio did not explicitly discuss the case, but he said “a lot” of the allegations leveled against him were untrue and exaggerated. He also acknowledged he had “let sin pull me where it wanted.”

He called himself a “troubled soul” who had wrestled with alcoholism and depression for years. And he apologized for the pain he caused his family.

“The decision I’m making tonight is the most difficult one I’ve ever had to make,” he wrote. But it would be, he said, “the best way out for all.”

Israel: Kerry condemns acts of ‘vengeance’ Continued from Page A-1 were still investigating the death of the teenage Palestinian, including possible criminal motives, the killing followed passionate calls for retribution on a Facebook page named “The People of Israel Demand Revenge” that quickly gathered 35,000 “likes” and included pictures of soldiers posing with their weapons. The page was taken down after two days.

The latest killing seemed to set off introspection among many Israelis who only a day earlier nursed their grievances over the killings of the three Israeli teenagers. The justice minister, Tzipi Livni, reacted harshly to the public calls for revenge and said if Muhammad was the victim of a reprisal killing it amounted to “an act of terrorism.”

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday vowed to hold accountable those who killed the three young men in the West Bank, pointing a finger at the Palestinian militant group Hamas. On Wednesday, after the body of the Palestinian teenager was found in the woods, the prime minister called on Israelis to obey the law and asked investigators to quickly look into what he called “the abominable murder.”

Given the explosive atmosphere after Muhammad’s death, Israel found its options for punitive measures had been narrowed for fear of inflaming the situation. Many Israelis engaged in soulsearching, recognizing that both sides in this blood-feud had suffered at each other’s hands. About a thousand Israelis gathered for a demonstration in Jerusalem against violence and racism.

Secretary of State John Kerry, in a statement, strongly condemned what he called “the despicable and senseless abduction and murder” of Muhammad.

He added, “Those who undertake acts of vengeance only destabilize an already explosive and emotional situation.”

The Israeli teenagers, Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, 16, who also held U.S. citizenship, were abducted June 12 as they tried to hitch a ride home from their West Bank yeshivas.

Muhammad was forced into a car near his neighborhood mosque, a few yards from his home in the Shuafat neighborhood before 4 a.m. as he waited for his friends to go and pray, witnesses told his parents.

“We don’t feel safe,” Suha Abu Khdeir, Muhammad’s mother, said as she sat in an upper floor of the family’s stone house, quiet and tearful, surrounded by women who had come to comfort her. “They took him from in front of our home,” she added.

security forces. The forces, a short distance away on the main road, responded with tear gas, stun grenades and other means, according to a police spokesman, who said protesters had also thrown several pipe bombs.

A half-mile section of the main thoroughfare, in an area that Israel seized in the 1967 war and annexed in opposition to international opinion, was carpeted with rocks and remained closed as clashes continued throughout the day.

Shelters at stops along Jerusalem’s lightrail line, which runs through Arab and Jewish neighborhoods, were smashed.

Tensions had already been running high.

During the recent Israeli crackdown in the West Bank, six Palestinians were killed in confrontations with Israeli forces and about 400 Palestinians, many of them affiliated with Hamas, were arrested. Militants in Gaza fired more than 20 rockets and mortars into southern Israel on Wednesday. They fell without causing injury.

Sitting in an enclosed porch surrounded by male mourners, Hussein Abu Khdeir, Muhammad’s father, who owns an electrical appliance store, said he had spent eight hours with police investigators. Tired and unshaven, he said that he had not been allowed to see his son’s body, which was at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv, but that investigators had identified it by matching DNA samples taken from the saliva of both parents.

“I don’t expect any results,” he said of the investigation.

Muhammad, who was studying at a vocational school to be an electrician, was the fifth of seven children, three sons and four daughters.

“I am against kidnapping and killing,” his father said. “Whether Jew or Arab, who can accept the kidnapping and killing of his son or daughter? I call on both sides to stop the bloodshed.”

Muhammad’s mother said he had been playing a computer game on a laptop with one of his brothers, then left the house about 3:30 a.m. to meet his friends for the dawn prayer that starts the daily fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Mahmoud Abu Khdeir, the imam of the mosque and a cousin, said the other youths left to get food for the predawn meal when a gray Hyundai pulled up and its occupants forced Muhammad into the car.

The police said they were reviewing images from security cameras along the street; Muhammad’s father showed visitors photographs, on his cellphone, that he said were from the security camera of a store near the mosque, showing two young men walking on the pavement, who he said were the kidnappers. Witnesses told him a third man was in the driver’s seat of the car.

Youths came to the house to tell Muhammad’s parents that he had been abducted. They called the police and tried to call Muhammad’s cellphone. It rang, but nobody answered.

On Wednesday, the Ynet news site posted the full two-minute recording of an emergency call one of the Israeli youths placed to the police from the car in which they were apparently shot to death. After what sounds like gunshots and cries of pain the kidnappers can be heard congratulating themselves and singing.

Jobs: North Dakota leads nation in growth Continued from Page A-1 those that were hit most painfully by the recession: They lost so many jobs that they’ve struggled to replace them all.

Nevada, which suffered a spectacular real estate bust and four years of doubledigit unemployment — has fared worst.

It has 6 percent fewer jobs than it did in December 2007. Arizona, also slammed by the housing collapse, is 5 percent short.

By contrast, an energy boom has lifted several states to the top of job creation rankings.

“North Dakota is the No. 1 example,” says Dan White, senior economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It’s like its own little gold rush.”

North Dakota has added 100,000 jobs since December 2007 — a stunning 28 percent increase, by far the nation’s highest. The state has benefited from technology that allows energy companies to extract oil from shale, sedimentary rock formed by the compression of clay and silt.

Not surprisingly, the capital of North Dakota, Bismarck, has the lowest unemployment rate of any American city: 2.2 percent as of May. Mark and Valerie Luna and their eight children had been struggling in Arizona

Inquiry: Lawmaker says oversight lacking

when they heard on television about North Dakota’s prosperity and decided to move there in 2010.

“It was becoming like the Great Depression in Arizona,” Valerie Luna said. “We were tired of seeing our friends lose their houses and their businesses.”

Mark, 40, a laid-off electrician, and Valerie, 37, a corrections officer, immediately found work in North Dakota. He took a job as an electrician, she at an insurance company.

But Mark always had a dream of opening a Mexican restaurant, and Bismarck was ripe for one. Los Lunas Authentic Mexican Food opened last year.

On Wednesday, Mark Luna was busy in the kitchen and had no time for talking.

Orders for his homemade tamales, chimichangas, enchiladas were stacking up.

“Business,” he said, “is good. Real good.”

Another state benefiting from the energy boom is Texas, which has added more than 1 million jobs since December 2007, an increase of nearly 10 percent. For comparison, the nation as a whole has added only a net 113,000 jobs over that period.

Jobs in Washington D.C., where lobbying is an all but recession-proof occupation, are up 49,000, or 7 percent. The gain was led by a 10 percent increase in hiring

by private employers.

Wall Street’s recovery from the financial crisis has helped New York gain 237,000 jobs since the recession ended, an increase of nearly 3 percent.

Moody’s White says many states are struggling because the recession wiped out solid middle-class jobs — in manufacturing and construction — that haven’t returned. He says it will take a stronger housing recovery to put significantly more people back to work building houses, installing wiring and plumbing and selling furniture and appliances to new owners of homes.

Housing has rebounded somewhat since bottoming a couple of years ago.

But the industry’s recovery has slowed.

Home construction is running at barely half the pace of the early and mid-2000s.

And the United States has lost nearly 1.5 million construction workers since the end of 2007 — a 20 percent plunge.

Nevada has lost half its construction workforce.

Factories have added 105,000 jobs over the past year, but manufacturing payrolls remain down 1.6 million, or 12 percent, since the start of the recession. Manufacturing jobs in Michigan hit bottom in June 2009. But the state still has 45,000, or 7 percent, fewer factory workers than it did in December 2007.

state Human Services Department paid one of the Arizona companies, Agave Health Inc., for work done months before the PCG audit was complete.

The stories also revealed that on their way to collecting $7 million more than the $17 million authorized for the transition, the executive and management teams of the Arizona companies billed between $200 and $300 per hour for time that included waiting for flights in airports and making employee IDs, among other things.

In addition to questions about the propriety of spending on the transition, O’Neill said unanswered questions remain about how and why the governor’s administration chose the Arizona firms without putting the work out to bid, whether the billing by those companies was appropriate and whether the state’s mental health patients have received the care they need.

“At some point you have to ask, do we as a Legislature have any meaningful oversight? Do we have any voice in this when the details come out and they’re egregious?” O’Neill said. “There’s no due process, no-bid contracts and the money going to the Arizona companies, the exorbitant rate of reimbursement.”

Ortiz y Pino, a member of the Behavioral Health Subcommittee, said lawmakers have not received information they have requested from the Human Services Department about services provided to mental health patients.

O’Neill said that’s why he is calling for the Legislative Finance Committee, which has statutory authority to subpoena documents and compel department leaders to testify under oath, to invoke that power for the first time in more than two decades.

“I’m stunned at the way we’re not taken seriously as a Legislature,” he said. “I don’t understand that. We have three branches of government, and I’m just stunned at our powerlessness in this area and the arrogance of the Martinez administration. They do what they want. There’s no consequences.”

As an example, he pointed to an August 2013 meeting of the Legislative Finance Committee, when many of the same questions that are still unanswered were posed to representatives of the Human Services Department. At that

Continued from Page A-1 Walker. A total of 34 EnergySolutions employees were laid off then to “meet LANL requirements,” according to a letter from company Vice President Miles Smith.

Then in February, a LANL waste container that had been packed by EnergySolutions cracked open at WIPP, releasing radiation into the underground facility.

All transuranic waste shipments from the lab were halted.

EnergySolutions laid off 23 more employees June 2 and was scheduled to lay off 58 on Monday.

“This is being driven by the fact that $20M of LANL’s 2014 Environmental

Management funding has been reallocated to pay for the WIPP incident Technical Assistance Team made up of national laboratory personnel from across DOE and for continued storage of 113 containers of waste at Waste Control Specialists [in Andrews, Texas],” Smith said in a letter to the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities.

Of the 58 employees scheduled for layoffs Monday, EnergySolutions kept 18 on for other contracted waste projects at LANL. EnergySolutions will work as a subcontractor for Albuquerque-based Environmental Dimensions Inc., which has a fiveyear federal contract that began July 1 for

radioactive waste retrieval and packaging at the lab, according to Walker.

Greg Mello of the Los Alamos Study Group, a watchdog group, said LANL and the Department of Energy had other funds it could have tapped instead of using contract money for EnergySolutions. “It looks like Energy Solutions is being made to pay heavily for a mistake that was — at the very least — not entirely its own. Los Alamos National Security is the one ultimately to blame here.”

meeting, the bipartisan committee voted 15-1 in opposition to a department request to spend an additional $10.35 million on top of the $7 million that already had been spent on the Arizona companies’ transition.

The governor’s budget office overrode the committee’s objections. Ultimately, the expenses and salaries the companies billed to the state between June of last year and Dec. 31, 2013, totaled nearly $24 million.

Sen. Steven Neville, R-Aztec, was among the Republicans on the committee who voted against authorizing additional spending. He said his recollections of the vote were hazy, but in general, “The overriding concern of the committee is that there might have been an easier way of doing it or a little less dramatic way of doing it” than abruptly removing the New Mexico providers.

Neville said he would not object to enforcing the Legislative Finance Committee’s subpoena power to get answers from Human Services. But he questions whether a hearing would yield answers.

“In theory it sounds good, but because it’s been turned over to the attorney general, we can’t get the lock and key open,” Neville said. “In reality, people can’t talk about it.”

As part of the attorney general’s investigation, many details of the audit accusing the New Mexico providers of fraud are being kept confidential until the review is complete.

Human Services spokesman Matt Kennicott defended the department’s record of responsiveness to legislative inquiries.

“HSD has testified on these issues numerous times in front of the legislative committees,” he said. “We have complied with countless requests for production of documentation.”

As for the choice of replacement providers, Kennicott said they were vetted by the department, a process that he said began months before the switch in providers to ensure safeguards were in place to provide care to mental health patients immediately if the audit detected fraud.

“We have a duty to continuing to provide services to those most in need,” he said, “and that has occurred.”

The median sales price in the second quarter of 2014 fell 10 percent in the city, to $270,000, and 8 percent in the county, to $409,500, according to the Association of Realtors.

“We keep going up in terms of unit sales. What’s not happening is unit appreciation,” said Alan Ball, an associate broker at Keller Williams Realty in Santa Fe. “A seller might think the market is terrible. A buyer might think they have a lot to choose from.”

Ball, who keeps statistics on Santa Fe sales on his blog, said the lower median price shows how much stronger sales are at the lower end of the market.

Those homes are selling faster, and that encourages neighbors who also want to sell.

A market report by War-

ren R. Sacks of Barker Realty shows 67 percent of the volume in the second quarter was below $400,000.

Sacks expects 1 percent to 3 percent price appreciation this year, and that may well be the norm for several years until the state sees more job growth. “Values for the most part are going to remain fairly flat because we don’t have a lot of job creation,” he said.

Dearing agrees and sees a modest 1 percent price gain in the near term. But she also said the market has stabilized throughout the county, and there is no longer a reason for buyers to wait for lower prices — especially with the prospect of higher interest rates.

400 in N.M. LOCAL NEWS oppose plan Campanas water plan shelved for housing immigrants City committee delays decision on county’s backup irrigation request for golf courses

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

A City Council committee put off until October a decision on a request from Santa Fe County for access to a meter that would be used to feed water to the Las Campanas golf courses if other sources dried up.

The council’s Public Utilities Committee unanimously voted Tuesday to postpone the request until the fall or in the event of a water emergency, whichever comes first. The postponement would give councilors additional time to evaluate the county’s progress in installing new water meters that the city says were part of an annexation agreement originally approved in 2008.

“We’re not facing an emergency,” City Councilor Peter Ives said. “My inclination … is to postpone this at this point in time in hopes that those meters can be

put in, but also simply because we don’t have an emergency that requires us really to worry about that at this moment.”

The county made the request to secure a backup water supply for The Club at Las Campanas only as a last resort, such as if the Buckman Direct Diversion project is down or the private golf courses’ on-site storage facilities are out of water.

Nick Schiavo, the city’s acting Public Utilities Department director, had recommended denying the county’s request until the county installed eight new water meters that would accurately account for water consumption.

Claudia Borchert, a former city employee who is now the director of the county’s Public Utilities Division, said she would be back in October. She also said she hopes there aren’t any circumstances that would require a

ocals and visitors alike will fill the Santa Fe Plaza on Friday for breakfast al fresco, entertainment and camaraderie during the annual Fourth of July charity fundraiser known as Pancakes on the Plaza.

Later in the day, Santa Fe’s annual Independence Day fireworks show, hosted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe, will return to the Santa Fe High School campus.

The morning’s volunteer-staffed event on the Plaza, now in its 39th year and organized by the Rotary Clubs of Santa Fe, is scheduled from 7 a.m. to noon.

Children’s activities include a coloring contest, with a chance to win a bicycle donated

by Wal-Mart. There also will be a silent auction, as well as a car show on Lincoln Avenue that runs until 1 p.m. and an arts and crafts show on Palace Avenue at Lincoln Avenue that runs until 5 p.m.

Those who didn’t buy a breakfast ticket in advance last month can buy a ticket on the Plaza for $8.

Activities on the Plaza Community Stage kick off with a presentation of flags with U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, bagpiper Lisa Lashley and an honor guard from Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2951, followed by a performance of the national anthem by the Santa Fe Concert Band and Rose Marie Lenahan. Musical entertainment is scheduled to run into the early afternoon.

While some public buildings will be closed for the holiday, the First Presbyterian Church at 208 Grant Ave. has said its restrooms will be open to the public during Pancakes on the Plaza.

Out at Santa Fe High on Friday evening, there will be pre-show music before the pyrotechnical show begins, likely not until about 9:30 p.m. Parking will be available at the high school campus, nearby Ragle Park, Chaparral Elementary School and the handball courts for a $5 donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs.

Organizers are encouraging people attending the fireworks show to sit in bleachers at the high school’s football stadium or take part in tailgate parties in the parking lot. However,

ARTESIA — Residents in southeastern New Mexico crowded a town hall meeting Tuesday to express anger at the opening of a temporary detention center for immigrants suspected of entering the country illegally.

Around 400 people attended the meeting in Artesia to speak out against holding up to 700 Central American women and children at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

Currently, fewer than 200 people are at the center.

City and federal officials fielded questions from residents, including how long the facility would be used for detention.

Residents told federal and local authorities they were afraid the immigrants might take jobs from locals and resources away from American-born children.

“Yes, we need to provide [to] those, for the women and children,” resident Ginger Kelly told KOAT-TV. “But I also think … our government needs to look at our own kids.”

Kelly said some area residents are struggling with hunger and a lack of health insurance.

Only a handful of residents spoke out in favor of helping immigrants.

“Basically, we have to treat people the way most people are intended to be treated,” said Anthony Morales, who spoke at the town hall.

The Artesia town hall meeting was just the latest display of anger by some who are against the federal government’s plan to house immigrants amid a recent surge.

In California, U.S. Homeland Security buses carrying migrant children and families were rerouted Tuesday to a facility in San Diego after American flag-waving protesters blocked the group from reaching a processing center.

The state Department of Health also warned of the possible health risks from setting off your own fireworks, noting that the most recent data available show that on July 4, 2012, there were 23 emergency room visits for fireworks injuries across the state.

A nationwide study by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety found that firecrackers are the most common source of trouble, with mostly boys and men getting hurt.

ALBUQUERQUE — Firearms and drug-trafficking convictions for two Oklahoma residents were overturned Wednesday, thanks to a skeleton saint known as La Santa Muerte.

The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a law enforcement expert on Santa Muerte tainted the convictions of Rafael Goxcon-Chagal, 53, and Maria Vianey Medina-Copete, 38, by testifying the folk saint was “a very good indicator of possible criminal activity.”

That testimony was close to “psychobabble and substantially influenced the outcome” of the trial, the appeals court wrote.

The appeals court ordered a new trial for the couple.

Goxcon-Chagal and Medina-Copete, both of Tulsa, Okla., were convicted in August 2012 of trafficking methamphetamine. In addition to illegal drugs, a Santa Muerte prayer card was found with the couple during a traffic stop that led to their 2011 arrests, authorities said.

Both were sentenced to 15 years in prison.

During their trial, prosecutors called upon U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte in West Texas to discuss the use of Santa Muerte, which translates in English to

LOIS GEARY, 1929-2014

Actress, activist was a mainstay in local theater groups

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Lois Geary, an animal-rights activist and actress who was a mainstay of the Santa Fe theater scene for close to 40 years, passed away at her home Saturday, just one month shy of her 85th birthday.

She was surrounded by friends and family members, as well as a faithful long-haired dog named Penelope, who had kept her head on Geary’s chest during the latter’s last days.

“She was a dear friend with a wonderful sense of humor,” said longtime friend and actress Virginia Hall-Smith.

She said what she will miss most

about Geary is “how much she cared.”

Geary was born July 25, 1929, in Fort Wayne, Ind. Her family moved to Cincinnati in 1938. She remained there until the 1960s, when she Lois Ann moved to Santa Fe. Geary In a 2000 interview with The New Mexican, she said she came to Santa Fe at the insistence of a “gentleman friend” who did not stay in town. She did. Over the years, she worked with a number of now-defunct theater groups, including the New Kaleido-

scope Players, Theater Arts Corp., The Barn Dinner Theatre, the Santa Fe Festival Theater and New Mexico Repertory Theater. She also appeared in a number of productions at the Santa Fe Playhouse.

She often landed small roles in films shot in New Mexico, including Silverado, Sunshine Cleaning and The Last Stand.

Though she took acting lessons at a drama school in Cincinnati run by the cousin of the late movie star Tyrone Power, Geary said she almost always worked from instinct. “I always considered myself a good amateur,” she said.

She earned a reputation for playing

character roles, leading theater critic Allan Pearson to write of her in 1978, “Her blustery, dowdy older ladies are interpreted to perfection and are a delight to witness.”

“She was a bone-deep natural actress,” Hall-Smith said.

Actress Lois Viscoli, who worked in several shows with Geary, said the latter “had fun onstage. She loved the theater. She loved to act.”

But, Viscoli said, “I would like to remember her entrances more than her exits.”

Geary volunteered for many local nonprofits, including local animal shelters. She would adopt animals who came to her front door demand-

ing adoption, and she was known to feed prairie dogs.

She is survived by three sisters, a daughter, and 15 nieces and nephews, as well as three pets.

The pets are being taken in by others, Hall-Smith said.

A memorial service is planned for 11 a.m. Thursday at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 107 W. Barcelona Road. All are welcome.

Friend Susan McCosker said she wants Geary to make one more appearance Thursday: “I hope she’s there — hovering.”

Driver accused of fatal DWI In brief U.S. Marshal had 26 beer cans in truck kills fugitive

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

A former Rio Arriba County jail guard who is accused of killing two men June 19 in a fatal DWI crash had 26 beer cans in his truck at the time of the accident, according to a search warrant filed in state District Court.

Justin Romero, 26, of El Rito is accused of crashing his 1997 Ford pickup into a 2004 Pontiac sedan carrying the two men, state police have said. The search warrant says Romero told a state police officer he had consumed about five beers in the morning before the Thursday night crash. The suspect also told the state police officer there was an 18-pack of beer in the front of his truck, the warrant says.

According to the search warrant, a state police officer found

a CVS receipt showing a purchase of an 18-pack of Coors Light beer, 17 Coors Light beer cans and nine Miller 64 beer Justin cans in the susRomero pect’s truck.

State police have said in a news release that Romero was traveling northbound on U.S. 84 in Rio Arriba County, when he crossed into the southbound lane and struck the sedan head-on. But according to the search warrant, Romero was traveling northbound between 65 mph and 70 mph when the sedan pulled onto the highway in front of him.

The warrant also says the officer received a written witness

statement from a person at the scene who heard the suspect say he needed to “drink some water to get hydrated” because he “had about 12 beers.”

Romero, who was off-duty during the crash, resigned, Rio Arriba County officials have said. Online court records show Romero was charged with possession of an open container in June 2013, but the case was dismissed.

Leo Gurule, 23, of Española and Carlos Archuleta, 45, of Santa Cruz died at the scene.

Romero is facing two counts of vehicular homicide, a thirddegree felony, and one count of obstructing an officer, a misdemeanor.

Boy gets maximum sentence in shooting The Associated Press

ROSWELL — A judge rejected pleas for leniency Wednesday and handed down the maximum sentence for a then-12-year-old boy who opened fire in a Roswell middle school gym earlier this year, injuring two students.

State District Judge Freddie Romero ordered the boy, now 13, held in state custody until he is 21. His decision followed a daylong hearing in which the shooter apologized, the defense argued he was the victim of chronic bullying, and the two students wounded in the shooting detailed their injuries.

“It’s a miracle that I’m alive right now,” said 12-year-old Nathaniel Tavarez, who was shot in the face Jan. 14 at Berrendo Middle School. “My vision is still seriously impaired, but there is hope.”

Special prosecutor Matt Chandler read a statement from the other victim, 13-year-old Kendal Sanders, as she stood at the podium with Tavarez.

The three barracks at the Artesia site will hold people as they await deportation or seek asylum.

Utah changes school fight song SALT LAKE CITY — The University of Utah has tweaked its official fight song, offering an alternate choice for its signature line while replacing others altogether amid concerns the former version was sexist.

The new version doesn’t officially change the lyrics from “I’m a Utah man” to “I’m a Utah fan.” Instead, it lists both; singers can choose their preference.

But the line “coeds are the fairest” is officially out.

University President David Pershing announced the changes Wednesday in a prepared statement. A panel of students, school officials, employees, and alumni was tasked with reworking the anthem.

Parade organizers had announced the selection of Martinez by saying she’d demonstrated a commitment to the community, including Las Vegas-area reservoir and hotel projects.

However, the Las Vegas Optic reported that San Miguel County Democratic Chairman Martin Suazo says it’s inappropriate to honor Martinez.

Suazo says additional funding proposed by lawmakers for San Miguel County didn’t make it into the final state budget approved by Martinez and the Legislature.

Martinez spokesman Mike Lonergan says the $10 million provided for the reservoir project was the largest single capital appropriation in the state this year. Martinez is running for re-election. She’ll face Democratic Gary King on the November ballot.

Fat camps trim pudgy pets

By Sue Manning

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES t’s not just a people problem: Growing rates of obesity in pets have led to the emergence of fat farms offering “pawlates,” “doga” and “Barko Polo,” doggie versions of Pilates, yoga and Marco Polo to help slim down man’s best friend.

In the U.S., 53 percent of dogs are overweight or obese, up from 45 percent four years ago.

In cats, the figure is almost 58 percent, said Dr. Ernie Ward, a veterinarian and founder of the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention in Calabash, N.C. Overweight pets can suffer diabetes, joint problems, heart disease and decreased life expectancy, just like obese people, he said.

Most luxury pet hotels and spas nationwide will customize a fitness program for a pudgy dog or cat, but only a few facilities have fat camps for large groups.

For golden retriever Ceili, it was easy to fatten up when living with a boy who pushed tasty morsels over the edge of his high chair.

The extra weight led Eileen Bowers of Bedminster, N.J., to sign up the more than 100-pound pooch for a five-day fitness camp last month at Morris Animal Inn. Besides the “pawlates,” the camp was filled with swimming, nature hikes, treadmill trots, facials, massages and healthy treats like organic granola, string beans and carrots. It was designed to give Ceili and 40 other dogs a head start on a healthier life, said Debora Montgomery, the New Jersey facility’s spokeswoman.

Wonder how you get a dog to do a downward dog? You wouldn’t even recognize that yoga pose in the canine version.

“Doga” and “pawlates” are a lot alike — both are about stretching while building strength, balance and flexibility. In “doga,” stretches are close to the ground, while “pawlates” uses higher balance equipment like large exercise balls, Montgomery said.

And the “Barko Polo” pool game varies from its human inspiration: A staffer will shout “barko” and whichever dogpaddling pooch yelps first gets a toy.

In all activities, “the dogs work for their meals. We praise and make the sessions fun and interactive,” Montgomery said.

After the cardio come the doggie facials: a cleansing massage that wipes away organic food crumbs and exercise-induced slobber.

Bowers started sending her dog to the Morris facility months ago when Ceili hit 126 pounds. Usually, female golden retrievers weigh between 55 and 70 pounds, Montgomery said. Ceili got down to 118 but went to camp to lose more.

“We want her to be around

for a long time,” Bowers said, adding that her 2-year-old son is more interested in running than throwing food these days.

Those extra treats are a culprit in canine obesity rates, besides a lack of exercise, Ward

said. Over 80 percent of owners give dogs two or more snacks a day. He compared the rising problem to the same trend in kids. “Children and cats and dogs don’t feed themselves,” Ward said. “We treat our pets like children.”

The facilities help pet owners too busy for long walks or unable to afford a swimming pool or treadmill. Morris Animal Inn charges $59 a day or $249 for five days with all the amenities. It has offered two or three camps a year since 2009.

But as programs have cropped up to meet demand, so have slick imitators that compromise safety for quick cash.

Before sending a pet to a fat farm or boarding facility, do some research to ensure they are legitimate, Ward warned.

“Safety is more important when you are dealing with an overweight pet because they are more prone to injury and distress than a leaner, fitter pet,” he said.

DON D. DELGADO

On the morning of Friday June 27, 2014 Don D. Delgado went to his new home with Our Heavenly Father. He passed quietly and in the comfort of his home at the age of 81.

Don was born in Pecos, New Mexico on September 29, 1932.

Don spent his early years as a radio announcer and his later years as a state police and tribal police dispatcher.

He was preceded in death by his parents Jose and Irene Abercrombie Delgado and daughter Doris.

He is survived by his wife Rebecca of 45 years; children Dwight (Pat), Dawn, Dana (Ana Cecilia), Leanne, Brian (Shelly) and James (Cassandra); grandchildren Erin, Mary, David, Dominique, Gabrielle, Josh, and four great-grandchildren.

Don was a family man and spent his spare time with his wife, kids, grandkids, and his beloved poodle Charlie. There was rarely a time one could catch Don without a smile on his face, or trying to make the people around him laugh. His jolly spirit and cheerful personality were contagious.

Don effortlessly made people comfortable, welcomed and fall in love with his presence. Undoubtedly, he will be missed by all who knew him.

Special thanks to PJ and Bergan and staff from PMS Hospice for the care provided in his final months.

Services will begin with a Rosary at 9 a.m. and Mass at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday July 3, 2014 at Cristo Rey Church, 1120 Canyon Rd. Interment will immediately follow at Rosario Cemetery.

HERBERT MAYER SCHON 1931~2014 Herb Schon, avid cyclist, skier and baker of rugelach, ed on June 30 after a massive stroke.

Herb was born in Newark, NJ, and lived for many years in New York City, where after a career in advertising he founded Grandma’s Recipe Rugelach, a specialty bakery. He retired to Santa Fe, NM, in 1997, and within a few years had revived the Grandma’s brand.

At age 75, Herb indulged his passion for cycling by riding from California to New Hampshire, and from Oregon to Southern California at 80. At 77 he was struck by a car while cycling in Albuquerque, and a year later he suffered multiple broken bones and skull fractures after a high-speed bike crash in Los Alamos. But nothing could stop Herb, and in both cases he was back in the saddle within months, even riding a century with the helicopter crew who had saved his life.

When he wasn’t on his bike he could be found skiing, working out at the gym or making rugelach deliveries to his many customers.

Herb was known for his integrity and humor, but it was his fierce tenacity and love for life that will continue to serve as an inspiration to his friends.

He is survived by his wife, Irene; his son, Peter; daughter-in-law, Amanda, and granddaughter, Greta.

Baghdad: A second fall of Saigon?

E

xploding shells and rockets rattled me awake in the early hours of a misty Tuesday morning in Saigon. I scrambled to my hotel roof and watched as fireballs, smoke and debris burst across the city’s famous airport — once one of the busiest in the world, now shut down as thousands desperate to evacuate jammed the hangars. As dawn arrived, people rushed to the rooftops of nearby buildings, staring in shock at the sudden, savage attack from artillery encircling the city. Two older military transport planes made an attempt to climb into the sky, slowly twisting and turning to escape surface-to-air missiles.

Clay pigeons in a shooting gallery, they both soon exploded in smoke and flames, crashing in pieces on the houses below.

Within 24 hours, the whole city was engulfed in chaos as a new regime took over. It was April 1975.

This may be the fate that awaits Baghdad if the march of ISIS continues. The Sunni insurgency has already captured much of Iraq’s north (much as the Vietcong had) and is steadily pushing southward. If it reaches the city, what I saw unfold in Saigon nearly 40 years ago is probably a good proxy for what to expect. Here’s what it looked like.

I was among a handful of journalists witnessing the end of a country once deemed essential to the security of the United States. Five American presidents had committed billions in resources and sacrificed thousands of soldiers’ lives in the conflict (sound familiar?) with the communist North. It was unimaginable that the city could fall.

In South Vietnam’s last days, abandoned U.S. jeeps and tanks littered the highways and beaches as South Vietnamese soldiers fled the battlefields on foot. Some officers deserted their commands in helicopters to the safety of U.S. Navy ships just offshore.

In Iraq, another Americantrained army fled before insurgents took city after city in northern and western Iraq.

Danger lurks in Santa Fe

D can vehicles, weapons and even uniforms.

South Vietnam and Iraq are different, of course: Washington used its military might to keep one artificially divided and the other artificially unified. But Saigon in 1975 and Baghdad in 2014 share a frailty born of dependence on American power. Both cracked like a hollow egg at their first real test. In March 1975, the loss of Hue and Danang foreshadowed a military rout that led to the collapse of the capital of Saigon only six weeks later.

In Iraq the loss of Mosul and Tikrit brought ISIS almost to the gates of the capital, intensifying ethnic unrest in the city and threatening the future of Baghdad.

Both countries’ leaders appealed for American air power, to no avail. In March 1975, South Vietnam President Nguyen Van Thieu sent a detailed list of bombing targets to the White House and called upon private agreements made by former President Richard Nixon guaranteeing American military help.

President Gerald Ford turned him down.

Similarly, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki began public and private appeals for

American air support after the fall of Mosul and Tikrit.

President Barack Obama has demanded substantial political reforms in Baghdad in exchange. Maliki’s reluctance to work with his political rivals resembles President Thieu’s refusal to widen his government or consider any accommodation of his political opponents. Thieu ultimately stepped down at U.S. urging and fled the country 10 days before it fell. Obama may leave another American ally to his fate.

Washington’s posture toward Iraq today also mirrors its attitude in the final days of Saigon. By 1975, Congress and the American public firmly opposed any additional financial or military support for South Vietnam. Ford made it clear that American military action in the final days would be used only to save the lives of U.S. personnel. A majority of the American public equally opposes involvement in Iraq, too. Obama recently ordered 300 military technicians and advisers to Baghdad, but he has little support for further action.

In both countries, American ambitions to remake the world collided with deep-rooted, local insurgencies.

Of course, some crucial differences separate Vietnam and Iraq. The eventual emergence of a united, communist Vietnam did not actually threaten the United States.

Today, Hanoi is so much more worried about Chinese expansionism than American imperialism that it invited the U.S. back to its naval base in Cam Ranh Bay. In Iraq, by contrast, three peoples — the Shiites, the Sunnis and the Kurds — want to be independent from each other and no longer wish to live within the antiquated borders devised by European diplomats 100 years ago. The United States may want them unified for regional stability, but American power may prove no more able to bind them together than it was to sunder Vietnam. And some segments of Iraqi society harbor violent ambitions toward the United States. A divided Iraq could end up like Yugoslavia in the 1990s with years of brutal ethnic cleansing and unrest.

Peter Arnett won a Pulitzer Prize in 1966 for his coverage of the Vietnam War (for the AP) and an Emmy for his coverage of the 1991 Gulf War (for CNN).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Change could improve, enhance our lives

I

have a friend who sarcastically wondered if buggy whip manufacturers should have been kept alive when automobiles replaced the horse and carriage. Today, I see the results of extreme wealth and its ever-expanding political access doing just that.

Many around the globe are far ahead of the U.S. in manufacturing, energy development and conservation techniques.

We’re letting powerful leeches maintain the status quo while filling their pockets, and that includes dampening our visions and attitudes as well as affecting what and how we consume.

But we have talents and creativity to create new kinds of jobs — many we can’t even envision — to protect the environment while enhancing our lives.

Some threaten: “change is too costly.”

The auto wasn’t cheaper to purchase and maintain than a horse and carriage, but that didn’t and shouldn’t have stopped its progress.

Cashing out

America has truly gone mad. The “religious freedom” of corporations now supersedes the religious rights of employees (because of the decision in the Hobby Lobby case this week). Five outof-touch justices on the Supreme Court are just dead wrong. Next time you see a corporation in church practicing his/her/ its religious freedom, tell him/her/it that corporations are not people.

Thomas Jefferson said it clearly. It is we, the people, who have inalienable rights. Hobby Lobby has lost a customer.

I wish its employees the best of luck.

Like many other Americans, I am dismayed by the Supreme Court ruling that has allowed cash to become political free speech. To quote Steve Terrell’s column: (“Ad Watch: King strikes back against Martinez,” June 27) “Just before the primary, King barely had $75,000 in the bank, while Martinez had more than $4.2 million.”

New Mexicans need to ask themselves whether the governor raised that huge bundle of money from fellow New Mexicans. If not, who is donating? I’m guessing that her funds, like those of many other Republicans, donations are coming from Koch Industries, Exxon/Mobil and the rest of big business that wants America to become their own private holding.

I figure that Gov. Susana Martinez is able to brag about selling the state jet since there are a lot of financial backers more than willing to let her hitch rides on their private (non-government owned) jets.

They were going that way, anyhow.

Santa Fe

Santa Cruz

angerous times in Santa Fe — armed robberies, once a rarity, are taking place with alarming frequency.

The latest troublesome incident took place earlier this week in broad daylight. A 17-year-old young woman was robbed at gunpoint at midday. First, the man asked for money. Not satisfied with a few dollars, he flashed a gun. All that, for a haul of 20 bucks. Thankfully, the young woman was physically unhurt, although we would understand her if she is still shaking. Such violence can leave scars on the psyche.

Aggressive panhandling, as we have long predicted, is escalating. Other robberies are not downtown, but around Cerrillos Road near hotels. People are using knives or sharp objects to rob while others continue to break into cars.

In a town dependent on tourists — whose word of mouth is everything — Santa Fe cannot afford even a minicrime spree. More importantly, no one should feel afraid walking downtown in broad daylight. That includes tourists, workers, shoppers and teenagers who love to spend time in the heart of Santa Fe. In the past, officials sometimes would shake their heads and bemoan ugly incidents, while doing little. It appears that Santa Fe police seem to be doing all the right things to try and prevent more crime — as well as catch the thugs who are terrorizing people and ruining vacations.

Officers are on special assignment, patrolling high-crime areas to catch robbers before they strike. They are going from hotel to hotel to warn about possible danger. They’re even helping security officers make sure cameras are wellplaced so that there are no blind spots for the criminal to exploit. It hasn’t paid off yet in an arrest, but officers on the ground are our best hope for solving these crimes. Those cops — in cars, on foot and on bikes — should circulate throughout the neighborhoods. Too much concentration on one area leaves other spots vulnerable.

We would hope, too, that detectives are checking records to see if known armed robbers have been released from prison recently. Spotting repeat offenders has proved useful in catching car burglars in the past, for example.

Until arrests are made, we urge people downtown to remain alert.

Stay aware of the surroundings. Hand over money or a purse without an argument. Be ready to describe an encounter — the teenager maintained enough presence of mind (despite a gun held to her throat) Monday to give police an excellent description. The suspect is 6 feet tall, thin, dark-complected with short, dark hair. He has face and neck tattoos and spoke in an accented voice. It’s a description solid enought to lead to an arrest.

Let’s hope the arrest happens quickly and our town loses this edge of ugliness. Otherwise, Santa Fe will become known not as the City Different, but the City Dangerous.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: July 3, 1914: Las Vegas — The main stunt in the Las Vegas celebration of Independence Day will be the elaborate program arranged by Dr. W.T. Brown … . There will be a greased pig race, running races, burro races, pony races and basketball on horseback, which it is said has polo looking like a parlor amusement.

The riders are required to gallop 100 yards, pick a ball out of a box on a pole 3 feet high, then gallop back and throw ball into a box on a post eight feet high; $10 will be the prize for the rider that puts the ball in the 3 foot box.

July 3, 1964: What officers said was the first moonshine liquor still discovered in New Mexico since 1958 was confiscated Thursday afternoon in a Taos antique shop with the arrest of the shop proprietor on federal liquor charges. The owner of the shop was charged with possessing an unregistered still, doing business as a distiller without registering and without posting bond, making or fermenting mash fit for distillation or production of distilled spirits in an unlawful place.

July 3, 1989: Deming — An estimated $10 million worth of methamphetamines and equipment to produce the drug were found Saturday by police inside a trailer just west of Deming.

Deming Detective Robert Jones said the discovery Saturday and a case earlier in the week in which an estimated $1.8 million worth of methamphetamines was discovered, were connected.

Newsmakers Lohan sues over ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ game

Lindsay Lohan

NEW YORK — Lindsay Lohan is suing the makers of the Grand Theft Auto video games.

The actress says the latest installment used her image and created a character based on her without her permission.

Lohan’s lawsuit was filed Wednesday in a Manhattan court. Grand Theft Auto V game maker Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. and subsidiary Rockstar Games declined to comment.

Lohan’s lawsuit says a character named Lacey Jonas is an “unequivocal” reference to the Mean Girls and Freaky Friday star.

The suit says the character also seeks help skirting paparazzi.

7 p.m. on ABC Black Box For a music-contest winner, the aftermath isn’t necessarily happy, as the new episode “Sing Like Me” suggests.

NMHU to hire Lobo staffer as men’s coach

By Will Webber The New Mexican

New Mexico Highlands University has reached an agreement to hire Craig Snow as its men’s basketball head coach, according to multiple sources.

A spokesman from NMHU said Wednesday the school will make a formal announcement on the hire later this week, possibly as early as Thursday.

He said the school will likely name the new women’s coach at the same time.

Both positions became vacant

in May when Joe Harge resigned as men’s coach after six seasons and Tiffany Darling was fired after six seasons with the women’s program.

An assistant Craig Snow for four years at The University of New Mexico, Snow acknowledged Wednesday morning that his deal with Highlands was close. Through Twitter, he responded to information gathered from The New Mexican’s sources by saying, “It is looking that

way, but I’m still waiting on official word.”

A former player at Evansville who scored more than 1,500 points in his four seasons with the Aces, Snow spent five years as the boys basketball coach and later athletic director at Albuquerque Bosque School before joining the Lobos in 2010.

He was hired by then-UNM head coach Steve Alford to assume the role as the Lobos’ video coordinator, a position he held for one year before becoming the director of basketball operations in 2011.

He was promoted to full-time assistant coach in Alford’s final

season, a position he retained when UNM promoted Craig Neal to head coach after Alford headed to UCLA. Multiple reports have indicated that Snow will bring another UNM assistant, video coordinator Brandon Mason, along with him to Las Vegas.

Mason is a former player at New Mexico State and has never been a full-time assistant at the collegiate level.

NMHU was 95-70 in Harge’s tenure, reaching the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament four times. The Cowboys finished 11-15 overall and 8-14 in the RMAC last season.

WIMBLEDON

No repeat for Murray, beaten by Dimitrov

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

LONDON — The silence at Centre Court made abundantly clear that Andy Murray’s time as Wimbledon champion was coming to a close.

Out of sorts from the start of his quarterfinal against up-and-coming Grigor Dimitrov on Wednesday, Murray — who in 2013 ended Britain’s 77-year wait for one of its own to win the men’s title at the All England Club — sailed an awkward backhand slice long Grigor Dimitrov to fall behind by a set and a break.

The crowd of nearly 15,000, usually so vociferous in support of Murray, sat quietly, perhaps not prepared to believe what was happening. All along, Murray’s body language was as negative as his play: He gnawed on his knuckle after seeing an ace zip past; slapped his forehead with his palm after one forehand found the net; bowed his head and slumped his shoulders after another did the same.

When one last forehand fell short, the magical ride ended for Murray

The United States’ goalkeeper Tim Howard saves a shot by Belgium during Tuesday’s round of 16 match between Belgium and the U.S. at the Arena Fonte Nova in Salvador, Brazil. Howard had 16 saves in the loss. FELIPE DANA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

By Janie McCauley The Associated Press

SÃO PAULO im Howard left a lasting impression on Americans from coast to coast — and fans around the world, really — for his incredible, improbable saves in the loss to Belgium in extra time that sent the U.S. home from the World Cup to a country captivated.

Howard is a big reason — 6-foot-3, to be exact — for the fascination. He has become a Twitter sensation in less than a day, while raising one important question before he leaves Brazil: Will the 35-yearold goalkeeper be back for the next World Cup four years from now in Russia?

“When you’re in the public eye, it’s part of what you have to deal with,” Howard said Wednesday of the hype from his record-setting World Cup. “I’ve been dealing with it for a long time. It’s nice that America knows about soccer now. That’s what’s important.”

Howard’s 16 saves in the 2-1 loss were the most in a World Cup game since FIFA started tracking the statistic in 2002.

Howard’s 16 saves in the 2-1 loss were the most in a World Cup game since FIFA started tracking the statistic in 2002. bent “Secretary of Defense of the United States of America.” Later, the real defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, called Howard with congratulations and a team invite to the Pentagon.

A photo from Howard’s high school yearbook even began circulating, featuring the quote, “It will take a nation of millions to hold me back.”

Even Belgium captain Vincent Kompany tweeted: “Two words.. TIM HOWARD #Respect #BelUSA.” That post had received 59,675 re-tweets and 45,242 favorites by early evening Wednesday.

“It’s fantastic because it also shows how all the games in the World Cup were received back at home,” U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said, “and many people watched this competition maybe more than it was four years ago in South Africa. It’s

fun to see that, and he deserves every compliment for his game last night.”

The hashtag #ThingsTimHowardCouldSave was trending on Twitter, and fans superimposed his image into all sorts of famous scenes. There’s an outstretched Howard preventing the Titanic from sinking, and breaking up Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” goal.

“With social media, nothing surprises me,” Howard said. “There are some very creative and fun individuals out there.”

The team was scheduled to fly back to the U.S. late Wednesday, and Howard soon will return to his Premier League club, Everton.

Millions of Americans will be rooting for Howard to play in the 2018 World Cup. That’s something Howard will discuss with those close to him.

“What happens going forward with the national team, I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t think it’s very black and white, to be honest. I need to figure all that out.”

Howard had 15 shutouts — one behind co-leaders Petr Cech of Chelsea and Wojciech Szczesny of Arsenal — in 37 league matches for Everton this season before joining the Americans in mid-May

Arbitrator rules Saints’ Graham is a tight end

By Brett Martel

The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — The Saints’ Jimmy Graham and the NFL Players Association were dealt a setback Wednesday when an arbitrator ruled that he can only be considered a tight end for the purposes of his franchise tag designation.

NFLPA had filed a grievance arguing that Graham was used as a wide Jimmy receiver often Graham enough to qualify for the more lucrative receiver tag.

But arbitrator Stephen Burbank disagreed and now the NFLPA is reviewing his ruling, and will advise Graham on his options, which could include an appeal.

Ghana’s players didn’t have signed agreements for their bonus payments for Brazil and threatened to strike unless they were paid, fearing they ultimately wouldn’t see the money.

MLB let Rodriguez use testosterone in big year, book says

By Michael S. Schmidt The New York Times

WASHINGTON — When the 2007 baseball season began, Alex Rodriguez was still one of the sport’s untarnished stars, the home-run-hitting antidote to Barry Bonds and other sluggers who had already been linked to the use of performance-enhancing substances.

That season, playing third base for the New York Yankees, Rodriguez led baseball with 54 home runs and 156 runs batted in, and he went on to be awarded with his third Most Valuable Player award. After the season, he audaciously opted out of his existing 10-year contract, which had been the biggest one in the sport, and then signed an even larger deal to stay with the Yankees, this time for $275 million

over 10 years.

But what has not been known until now is that Rodriguez, during that standout season, took the performanceenhancing drug testosterone with Alex the blessing of the Rodriguez doctor who oversaw Major League Baseball’s drug-testing program.

According to a new book, Blood Sport: Alex Rodriguez, Biogenesis and the Quest to End Baseball’s Steroid Era, which was written by Tim Elfrink and Gus Garcia-Roberts and which was excerpted on Sports Illustrated’s website Wednesday, Rodriguez applied for and was granted a therapeutic

use exemption to use testosterone by baseball’s drug doctor, Bryan W. Smith. A year later, the authors wrote, Smith gave Rodriguez another exemption to use the drug clomid, which is typically used by body builders to boost their production of testosterone after they cycle off the use of steroids.

The fact that Rodriguez was allowed to use these substances is particularly embarrassing for Commissioner Bud Selig, who has spent a good part of the last decade toughening baseball’s drug-testing regimen and pushing it to the forefront of professional sports.

To a considerable degree, he has been able to do so, which has allowed him to recast his initial legacy as the commissioner who allowed drug use to go unchecked in the sport in the 1990s.

But the disclosure that baseball gave

Rodriguez, who has subsequently emerged as baseball’s No. 1 drug offender, a green light to use drugs in 2007 and 2008 will raise new questions about how baseball’s therapeutic use exemptions are granted.

On Wednesday, after the book excerpts appeared, the commissioner’s office said it did not know in either 2007 or 2008 that Rodriguez had been given permission to use the drugs in question and defended Smith’s actions in letting him do so.

“All decisions regarding whether a player shall receive a therapeutic use exemption under the joint drug program are made by the independent program administrator in consultation with outside medical experts, with no input by either the office of the commissioner or the players association,”

it said in a statement.

The statement went on to say that the standard for receiving a therapeutic exemption for a medication considered a performance-enhancing substance was “stringent” and that only a few such exemptions were issued each year by baseball’s program. Nevertheless, Rodriguez received one.

It is not clear exactly how Rodriguez made his initial case to Smith in 2007.

According to one baseball official, who declined to be named because he did not want to be quoted publicly discussing a major league player, Rodriguez used a highly regarded doctor to provide medical information to Smith about his condition, which the book identified as hypogonadism, which occurs when the body does not produce enough natural testosterone.

Rodriguez, Rays sweep Yankees SCOREBOARD BRAVES 3, METS 1 In Atlanta, Chris Johnson hit a three-run double, Julio Teheran pitched seven strong innings and Atlanta polished off a threegame sweep.

The Braves extended their season-best winning streak to seven games. The Mets have lost four straight and seven of their last eight games and are a season-worst 11 games below .500.

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Sean Rodriguez hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning and drove in three runs, helping the streaking Tampa Bay Rays Rays 6 extend their longest winning string this Yankees 3 year to five and hand the New York Yankees their season-worst fifth straight loss, 6-3 Wednesday.

Ben Zobrist doubled twice among his three hits for the Rays, but ran into two outs. With manager Joe Maddon encouraging his team to be more aggressive on the bases, Rodriguez was thrown out trying to stretch an RBI single to the wall in right field in the fourth.

The Rays won all three games at Yankee Stadium for their first road sweep since taking three in the Bronx from Sept. 24-26.

MARINERS 5, ASTROS 2 In Houston, Logan Morrison drove in two runs in a big sixth inning, Chris Young pitched seven strong innings and Seattle completed a three-game sweep.

The Mariners were down by two before a four-run sixth inning, highlighted by Morrison’s double to right field off Brad Peacock (2-5) that put them on top. James Jones scored on a wild pitch in the inning and John Buck had an RBI single.

TIGERS 9, ATHLETICS 3 In Detroit, Torii Hunter hit three RBI singles and capped a six-run burst in the sixth inning that propelled the Tigers to a threegame sweep.

The three-time AL Central champion Tigers won for the 11th time in 13 games.

The division leaders reached the halfway mark with a 47-34 mark.

Oakland still has the best record in the majors despite its stumble at Comerica Park.

WHITE SOX 3, ANGELS 2 In Chicago, Leury Garcia drove in the winning run with a pinch-hit single off Michael Morin in the ninth inning to lift the White Sox to victory.

The White Sox shook off a doubleheader sweep and finally took out the Angels after dropping their first five games against Los Angeles this season and seven straight overall.

Alejandro De Aza, who entered earlier as a runner for Paul Konerko, started the winning rally with a one-out single in the ninth off Morin (2-2). Conor Gillaspie followed with a broken-bat single past a diving Albert Pujols at first base to put runners on the corners.

ROYALS 4, TWINS 0 In Minneapolis, Jason Vargas threw seven scoreless innings, and Raul Ibanez homered in his second game for Kansas City.

Vargas (8-3) allowed four singles and two walks while striking out five, allowing only two runners from a diluted Twins lineup to reach second base.

Mike Moustakas and Jarrod Dyson hit RBI singles in the second inning against Kevin Correia (4-10). With Joe Mauer missing

PIRATES 5, DIAMONDBACKS 1 In Pittsburgh, Gregory Polanco homered, Charlie Morton continued his effective pitching at home and the Pirates won for the fifth time in six games.

Polanco, a highly touted rookie who has reached safely in 19 of 21 major league games, had a double, a walk and his third home run for Pittsburgh, which clinched its fourth consecutive series victory.

on the disabled list because of a strained muscle on his right side, the Twins were shut out for the sixth time this season and lost for the seventh time in their last nine games.

ORIOLES 6, RANGERS 4 In Baltimore, Adam Jones and Ryan Flaherty hit solo homers, and Baltimore beat Texas for the third straight time in a game delayed 1 hour, 38 minutes by rain.

The Rangers have lost eight consecutive road games, their longest such stretch since 2005.

The Orioles (45-39) moved six games over .500, equaling a season-high.

NATIONAL LEAGUE NATIONALS 4, ROCKIES 3 In Washington, after a replay review, Ian Desmond’s solo homer provided the goahead run for the Nationals and the victory that finished off a three-game sweep.

Jayson Werth also homered for Washington, which has won a season-high five straight.

Right-hander Matt Belisle (2-4) came on to face Desmond with one out in the seventh. Desmond’s hit appeared to bounce off the top of the wall in right center, then off the railing in front of the first row and onto the field.

PADRES 3, REDS 0 In San Diego, Tyson Ross threw a threehitter for his first career shutout and Rene Rivera hit a three-run single off big league ERA leader Johnny Cueto to give the Padres to its first three-game sweep since September.

The Padres, who tied their season high with their fourth straight win, hadn’t swept a series since Sept. 6-8 against Colorado.

MARLINS 5, PHILLIES 0 In Miami, Casey McGehee reached base three times, doubled home a run and scored another, helping the Marlins send Philadelphia to its sixth straight loss.

Tom Koehler (6-6) allowed three hits in six innings and earned his first victory since June 4. Three relievers completed a five-hitter.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a two-run homer in the ninth, his eighth. The Marlins, who lead the majors in home victories, clinched the three-game series and improved to 27-21 at Marlins Park.

INTERLEAGUE BLUE JAYS 7, BREWERS 4 In Toronto, Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run, walk-off home run in the ninth inning, and Toronto dealt Milwaukee its third straight loss.

Jose Bautista and Juan Francisco also connected for the Blue Jays, who have hit a major league-high 113 home runs this season.

CUBS 16, RED SOX 9 In Boston, Justin Ruggiano, Mike Olt and Welington Castillo hit two-run homers to power Chicago in the finale of a threegame interleague series sweep.

Ruggiano drove in five runs, Darwin Barney had four hits and Nate Schierholtz added a solo homer for Chicago, which won for the sixth time in seven games away from Wrigley Field and posted its first interleague sweep of three or more games since taking three from Cleveland in 2009.

INDIANS 5, DODGERS 4 In Los Angeles, Mike Aviles capped a three-run eighth inning with a two-run single against Brian Wilson, rallying Cleveland past the Dodgers.

Ryan Raburn homered off Hyun-Jin Ryu, who was lifted after seven with a 3-2 lead.

Wilson (1-3) retired only one of the six batters he faced, giving up a tying single by pinch-hitter David Murphy and Aviles’ clutch hit after an intentional walk to Lonnie Chisenhall.

Brian Shaw (3-1) pitched a scoreless seventh to get the victory.

Murray: Dimitrov faces Djokovic on Friday Continued from Page B-1 and his fans with a 6-1, 7-6 (4), 6-2 loss to the 11th-seeded Dimitrov, who became the first man from Bulgaria to reach a Grand Slam semifinal.

“I have very good memories from that court out there. It’s a special court for me,” said Murray, who lost the 2012 Wimbledon final there, won that year’s London Olympics gold medal there, then won his historic title 12 months ago there. “I mean, you can have bad days as an athlete. You don’t win all of the time. Sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and move on.”

He hadn’t lost a set in his first four matches, but made 37 unforced errors Wednesday,

more than twice as many as Dimitrov.

“Even when I wanted to get into longer rallies, I was missing shots,” the third-seeded Murray said. “I was unable to make him work as hard as I needed to.”

Dimitrov was composed throughout, getting broken only once and showing off the all-court game and smooth, one-handed backhand that long ago earned him the nickname “Baby Fed” — as in seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer.

On Friday, Dimitrov takes on another past champ, topseeded Novak Djokovic, who returned to the semifinals for the fifth consecutive year by coming back to beat No. 26

Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-1, 3-6, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2.

“Novak really played terrific the last two sets,” said three-time Wimbledon winner Boris Becker, who’s coaching Djokovic. “That was the first real test for him.”

Djokovic was troubled by Cilic, to be sure, but also by repeated slips that prompted the Serb to change his shoes midway through the match.

Playing on No. 1 Court, Djokovic also was rattled by intermittent cheering from outside the arena for Murray, whose match was played simultaneously across the way.

“I said to the chair umpire: ‘Let’s just stop [our] match, put [theirs] live on the big screen, and let’s watch it ‘til they’re

done,’ ” recounted Djokovic, last year’s runner-up to Murray.

On the other half of the draw, Federer will face No. 8 Milos Raonic, the first Canadian man in a Grand Slam semifinal since 1923.

Federer was broken for the first time in the tournament, and dropped a set for the first time, too, but defeated Australian Open champion Stan Wawrinka 3-6, 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4 in a matchup between a pair of pals from Switzerland.

In 2013, Federer lost in the second round at the All England Club.

“Last year was rough. I was very disappointed,” the 32-yearold Federer said. “Went back to the practice courts. Didn’t have any options left at that point.”

Graham: WRs payout higher than for TEs Continued from Page B-1 watched around the league because it could set a precedent for negotiations involving players who fill diverse roles in their teams’ offensive or defensive schemes. For example, some outside linebackers in a 3-4 defensive scheme could argue their right to receive the higher defensive end tag.

NFL franchise tags, which allow each team to keep one prized player who is due to become a free agent, were set this year at $7 million for tight ends and $12.3 million for receivers.

Burbank, who is also a University of Pennsylvania law professor, found that Graham could fulfill the standard duties

of a tight end when he was lined up in the slot or within 4 yards of an offensive tackle, as he was for most of his snaps.

Burbank further pointed out that defenses usually accounted for Graham as a tight end, regardless of his alignment, by assigning a linebacker or safety to cover him.

“Like tight ends, wide receivers and running backs often line up in the slot,” Burbank’s ruling stated. “The defense employed against any player so aligned turns on the player’s position, not his alignment, because of the physical attributes and skill sets of the players in those positions.”

Burbank indicated there could be merit to the NFLPA

contention that Graham cannot be considered a tight end when he does in fact line up as a wideout. However, because both sides stipulated that Graham lined up within 4 yards of an offensive tackle for nearly 55 percent of his snaps, Burbank said he did not need to address the minority of instances in which offensive formations employed by Saints coach Sean Payton placed Graham at a wider distance from the offensive line.

The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement states that franchise tags should be applied according to the position at which a player lines up for the majority of his snaps.

Graham has skipped Saints

offseason practices while holding out for a new, long-term contract. A favorable ruling from Burbank would have further enhanced negotiating leverage for Graham, who last season led the Saints with 86 catches for 1,215 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said the club would have no comment on the ruling, and Sexton did not respond to a request for comment.

In its statement, the NFLPA said: “We will also continue to assist Graham and his representation as necessary to help the player reach a fair long-term deal with the New Orleans Saints.”

Isotopes split doubleheader against El Paso Chihuahuas A seven-run fifth inning was the only thing that stood between the Albuquerque Isotopes and a doubleheader sweep on Wednesday night at Pacific Coast League rival El Paso.

Albuquerque (39—47) won the opener 5-4 but dropped the nightcap 9-5. The Topes led 4-2 after four innings of the second game when the Chihuahuas battered relief pitchers Matt Magill and Colt Hynes in a marathon fifth. All seven runs after Magill struck out Tyler Greene with one down in the inning, a pitch that allowed Jace Peterson to score from third.

A Jeff Francoeur RBI double tied the game, then Chris Nelson singled home Greene for what proved to be the eventual game-winning run.

Magill (4-4) was charged with the loss, getting tagged with six earned runs with two walks in 1⅓ innings of shaky relief.

Drew Carpenter (1-0) was the winner in the opener despite giving up four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning after Albuquerque had opened a 5-0 lead.

The game featured one inning of scoreless relief by Scott Elbert, who is with the club while on an injury rehab assignment from the parent Los Angeles Dodgers. Elbert walked one and struck out one in a scoreless third inning.

Griff Erickson homered and went 2-for-2 with two runs scored and a pair of RBI for the Isotopes. Johnny Monell also went deep, a solo home run in the sixth inning.

The teams wrap up their four-game series Thursday before Albuquerque opens an eight-game homestand Friday against Las Vegas.

NHL

Deals slow to trickle on Day 2 of free agency

By John Wawrow

The Associated Press

Sabres general manager Tim Murray joked that he has run out of spending money two days into NHL free agency.

Most of his fellow executives appeared to be in the same boat Wednesday.

The frenzy of high-priced signings and big-name trades that took place to open the league’s annual summer signing period Tuesday, slowed to a trickle a day later.

“I’m not surprised,” Murray said, a day after he committed $46.38 million in salaries to sign four free agents.

“Nobody’s in a rush today because they’re taking stock of what happened yesterday.”

There were a few notable signings that took place Wednesday.

The New York Islanders made the biggest splash by signing forwards Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin to four-year contracts. Grabovski’s deal is worth $20 million, while Kulemin will make $16.75 million.

The Nashville Predators, who failed in a bid to land center Jason Spezza in a trade with Ottawa, made an addition by signing veteran center Olli Jokinen to a one-year, $2.5 million deal.

“There’s no doubt that the second day is a lot different than the first day,” Nashville general manager David Poile said. “There were certainly, with all due respect to other teams out there, there were really no bargains [on the first day]. I participated in that last year. You pay a lot to participate in the first day.”

The Vancouver Canucks signed right wing Radim Vrbata to a twoyear, $10 million deal. The 33-year-old Vrbata had 20 goals and 31 assists in 80 games last season for Arizona.

Forward Chris Bourque is back in the NHL after agreeing to a deal with the New York Rangers. The son of Hall of Fame defenseman Ray Bourque, split last season playing in Russia and Switzerland.

And the New Jersey Devils resigned fourth-line linemates, forwards Steve Bernier and Stephen Gionta.

Just as notable was the list of players — many of them aging veterans — still on the market.

It’s a group that included goalie Martin Brodeur, the league’s career victory leader, forwards Dany Heatley, Mike Ribeiro, David Legwand, Ville Leino and Steve Ott. Murray had considered bringing back Ott, Buffalo’s former captain, who was traded to St. Louis in February. But Murray’s interest waned after addressing the Sabres’ leadership needs by signing former Canadiens captain Brian Gionta, and acquiring defenseman Josh Gorges in a trade with Montreal.

“I don’t know if he’s a possibility,” said Murray, who spoke with Ott’s agent on Tuesday night. “I said, ‘There’s still interest but I can’t certainly tell you not to pursue other things.’ ” Saku Koivu also is available, but the forward’s future is uncertain after Anaheim decided not to re-sign him.

“Saku has not made a decision about his plans for next season, and is considering his options to continue his NHL career,” Koivu’s agent, Jeffrey Kowall, wrote in an email.

The Islanders were the busiest team Wednesday, as they also signed forward Cory Conacher, who split last season between Ottawa and Buffalo.

The 30-year-old Grabovski is a dependable two-way forward who had 13 goals and 22 assists in 58 games with Washington last season. The 27-year-old Kulemin had spent the previous six seasons with Toronto, where he had 84 goals and 111 assists in 421 career games.

In Nashville, Jokinen fills an immediate need on a team that has lacked offensive punch.

The 35-year-old is a seven-time 20-goal-scorer, who had 18 goals and 25 assists in 82 games for the Winnipeg Jets last season.

“Olli Jokinen is a proven veteran center who will provide us with size, leadership and offensive ability in the tough Central Division and Western Conference,” general manager David Poile said.

The Pittsburgh Penguins signed forward Steve Downie to a one-year, $1 million deal, a day after signing four players.

The Philadelphia Flyers signed defenseman Nick Schultz to a oneyear deal. The 31-year-old had five assists in 69 games last season split between Edmonton and Columbus.

WORLD CUP

Colombians recall ’94 murder of player

By Cesar Garcia and Libardo Cardona The Associated Press

BOGOTÁ, Colombia — The murder 20 years ago Wednesday of a Colombian soccer player who had accidentally scored for the other side, helping eliminate his team from the World Cup, stands in stark contrast to the national squad’s celebrated success this time around.

It also highlights how Colombia has changed.

Colombia entered the 1994 World Cup among the favorites, led by star playmaker Carlos “El Pibe” Valderrama and forward Faustino Asprilla.

Then the unthinkable began to happen. The squad lost 3-1 to Romania and midfielder Gabriel Gomez got a faxed death threat. The coach contemplated resigning.

But the worst was still to come.

Defender Andres Escobar, the eventempered “Gentleman of the Field,” accidentally put the ball in his own net in a loss to the United States, and Colombia was out.

Ten days later, the 27-year-old Escobar was shot dead in a Medellin parking lot. The country was stunned.

“Everyone wanted the crime solved, from the president to the most humble of Colombians,” said Jesus Albeiro Yepes, the prosecutor who investigating the killing. “I think people would have lynched the three [suspects in the crime] if they had had the opportunity.”

Colombia’s Andres Escobar lies on the ground and watches as a shot by America’s Eric Wynalda misses the goal during their World Cup match on June 22, 1994, in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. The U.S. defeated Colombia 2-1. On July 2, 1994, Escobar was shot dead in his hometown of Medellin. The killing appeared to be directly linked to Escobar’s own goal scored during the match. ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

The crime reinforced Colombia’s reputation as a nation held hostage by cocaine cartels, where professional soccer was rife with drug money and national stars played in private matches for kingpins including Pablo Escobar, who was slain by police in 1993.

The investigation of Andres Escobar’s murder reinforced the perception of impunity.

While triggerman Humberto

Munoz was sentenced to 42 years in prison, he refused to implicate his bosses, who were with him at the time. He was out of prison after 11 years.

To this day, Yepes wonders why his superiors shelved the case against Munoz’s bosses, brothers Santiago and Pedron Gallon, who authorities suspected of involvement in drug trafficking. Some have suggested a paramilitary leader who employed

the brothers bribed authorities.

Yepes says he has no information on that theory.

On the day of his death, Andres Escobar had gone out with friends to a disco in Medellin to take his mind off the own-goal.

But in the disco, patrons yelled “own-goal, Andres, own-goal!” Yepes said.

Escobar left, and in a nearby parking he was harassed again.

Yepes said Escobar asked why they were bothering him, and Santiago Gallon told the athlete from his car that “he didn’t know who he was messing with.”

Munoz, the driver of Gallon’s vehicle, got out of vehicle and shot Escobar six times.

The Medellin drug cartel was then in decline, the Cali cartel ascendant.

Now, both are history, the era of drug kingpins gone.

Paramilitary groups demobilized a decade ago. And the leftist rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia is negotiating peace with the government.

In the current World Cup, Colombians have become enthralled again by their team, which has won all four of its games and reached the quarterfinals for the first time ever. It plays host Brazil on Friday.

“Now we have a different Colombia — in terms of the country and the team,” Valderrama said.

Coach was right: U.S. not ready to win World Cup

By Ronald Blum

The Associated Press

SÃO PAULO — Turns out Jurgen Klinsmann was right: the United States isn’t ready to win the World Cup. The Americans were eliminated in the round of 16 for the second straight tournament. They’ve been ranked 13th or 14th every month since September, which means their exit was pretty much at the stage it’s expected to be.

“Clearly it gives you the message you have a lot of work still ahead of you,” the U.S. coach said Wednesday, a day after the 2-1 loss to Belgium in extra time.

From Wall Street to the White House to the West Coast, Americans watched their national team on television in record numbers. While buoyed by the increase in attention, players are desperate to join the world’s elite and far from attaining that level.

Klinsmann was a World Cup champion as a player with West Germany in 1990 and coach of the German team that reached the 2006 semifinals.

Having moved to California in 1998 with his American wife, he is seen as bringing the perspective of soccer’s elite to a nation that remains a new world in the sport.

His message to players is they don’t do enough.

They don’t play twice a week, like Champions League stars. They don’t face condemnation from their community after losses and poor performances.

“It makes them feel accountable, not just walk away with a bad performance and nothing happens,” he said. “If you have a bad performance, then people should approach you and tell you that, so make sure that next game is not bad anymore and that you step it up.”

President Barack Obama spoke to captain Clint Dempsey and goalkeeper Tim Howard on Wednesday to congratulate the team on its per-

formance. Obama “commended them not only for their work on the field, but for carrying themselves in a way that made the country proud,” the White House said in a statement.

Late Wednesday at the airport, Dempsey, forward Jozy Altidore and defender DaMarcus Beasley were cheered and stopped for autographs and photos before they boarded an American Airlines flight to Miami.

The Americans’ final match, which kicked off at 2 p.m. MDT on a weekday, was seen by 21.6 million on ESPN and Univision, impressively close to the record 24.7 million set for a Sunday evening game against Portugal earlier in the tournament. An average of 1.6 million watched the loss to Belgium on digital streams.

“People now start to care about it. Fans care about it. They comment on social media. They comment everywhere about it, and that’s good,” Klinsmann said.

His most controversial moves coming into the

tournament were cutting Landon Donovan, the biggest star in U.S. soccer history, and taking along 18-year-old Julian Green, 20-year-old DeAndre Yedlin and 21-year-old John Brooks. Brooks and Green, who turned 19 on June 6, responded with late-game goals when they came in as substitutes, and Yedlin was stellar against Belgium when he replaced injured right back Fabian Johnson.

But Klinsmann’s proclamation that the U.S. would play an attacking game didn’t pan out. The Americans were outshot by a combined 92-41.

“The interesting part is every time we would go down a goal, we’ll shift it up,” he said. “I believe it’s more a mental topic that we have to work on than it is a talent topic.”

Klinsmann took over from Bob Bradley in July 2011. Last December, he was given a contract through the 2018 tournament that added the title of U.S. Soccer Federation technical director. In the next four-year cycle, he has numerous chances to integrate youth: the CONCACAF Gold Cups in 2015 and 2017, the centennial Copa America in 2016 and a possible trip to the Confederations Cup in 2017.

There also is the under-23 team that will try to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics — the 2012 team stumbled and didn’t reach the London Games, slowing the careers of more than a dozen players.

“We’ve got to do much better than the last cycle,” he said.

He defended his pre-tournament comment that the U.S. was not ready to win the World Cup, saying he didn’t want to raise “expectations to kind of a level that is over the moon.” After he arrived in Brazil, he mentioned he was prepared to stay for the entire tournament, that he had booked a plane ticket for the day after the final just in case.

But as U.S. players prepared to scatter to clubs and family vacations, Klinsmann conceded he also was leaving early.

“I changed the ticket last night,” he said.

FIFA asks German magazine for proof of match-fixing

By Gerald Imray

The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — FIFA expressed “substantial doubts” Wednesday about a German magazine’s claims that a World Cup game could have been fixed and asked the publication to provide evidence to back up its report that a renowned match-fixer accurately predicted details of the match hours before it kicked off.

FIFA said it wants Der Spiegel to provide details of all its conversations with convicted match-fixer Wilson Raj Perumal to prove its claim that Cameroon’s 4-0 loss to Croatia on June 18 may have been fixed.

“The article has put the integrity of FIFA World Cup matches in question, which is a serious allegation,” FIFA director of security Ralf Mutschke said in a statement read out at a briefing at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro by spokeswoman Delia Fischer.

FIFA said it had no indication from betting markets that any of the 56 games so far at the World Cup were suspicious and has “substantial doubts about the alleged manipulation published by Der Spiegel.”

The weekly magazine claimed that Perumal told it in a Facebook chat hours before the Cameroon-Croatia group game that he knew what was going to happen. Der Spiegel said that Perumal — a Singaporean who is arguably the best-known fixer in football — correctly predicted that Croatia would win 4-0 and Cameroon would have a player sent off in the first half. Cameroon

midfielder Alex Song was red-carded just before halftime.

Perumal has denied he made any such predictions.

Suspicious betting activity around a game is an indication that it may have been fixed for illegal gambling syndicates. That could include an unusually large amount of money being bet on the game or wagers being placed at unusual times during the game or on specific happenings — like a first-half red card, for example.

But FIFA said it had found no suspicious activity around Cameroon-Croatia or any other game in Brazil. Football’s world body has access to information from hundreds of betting operators through its Zurich-based EWS, or “Early Warning System.”

“As mentioned on various occasions, FIFA has carefully monitored all 56 games to date and will continue to monitor the remaining eight matches of the 2014 FIFA World Cup,” Mutschke’s statement said. “So far, we have found no indication of any match manipulation on the betting market.”

Der Spiegel’s story grabbed attention because of Perumal’s match-fixing history.

He was jailed in Finland for paying players to fix games and is suspected of fixing games in other continents, including Africa.

He is believed to be behind fixed matches involving South Africa’s national team in the weeks before the last World Cup in 2010, where corrupt referees are thought to have manipulated the games.

FELIPE DANA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Howard: Feels lucky about legacy Continued from Page B-1 for training camp in Northern California. In the spring, he signed a two-year contract extension through 2018 and is likely to close out his career with Everton.

“He was fantastic. There’s no other way to put it,” midfielder Michael Bradley said.

“He’s somebody that we rely on so much for his performances on the field but also his leadership and his pres-

ence. So honestly, there’s not enough good things to say about him as a player, as a man, as a leader.”

Klinsmann knows how much he meant for the Americans reaching back-to-back World Cup knockout rounds.

“I’m lucky to be in a long line of great goalkeepers,” Howard said when asked about his legacy. “I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for those types of performances.”

Boaters must be wary of mussels For The New Mexican

T

the Santa Fe trade is a research frontier. Because the numerous creeks and streams it crosses provided water, sheep certainly were herded down the trail to market, but what else? Chimayó supplied blankets to Mexico by the hundreds in the 1840s, but whether they were hauled on the Borrego is a mystery. Other historical hints along the Borrego: a weedy livestock corral and a faded mica mine sign.

There’s more history. North of the Pacheco Canyon Road (a high-clearance vehicle is needed here) the Borrego passes near Aspen Ranch. In 1917, it was a boarding school for boys to “rough it.” Later on, it was also a summer camp. One illustrious alumnus was Edward T. Hall, a famous anthropologist who wrote the 1959 book The Silent Language.

The end of the trail is really its beginning: Borrego Mesa, a series of meadows where livestock graze. Sadly, the trailhead was badly burned in 2002, but gambol oak and wildflowers are filling in. The Borrego Mesa campground to the east was untouched by the blaze and is lush with ponderosa.

Catch the trail at the south end off Hyde Park Road, off the middle of Pacheco Canyon Road (tough terrain on low cars) or on Forest Road 306 north of Cundiyó; Borrego always offers a cool dose of New Mexico history and ecology.

he upcoming Independence Day holiday is one of the busiest times of the year at New Mexico’s lakes.

Boaters come out in droves to enjoy the warm weather and great fishing. And, whether they realize it or not, the Department of Game and Fish frequently tests lakes in the state and operates check stations to prevent the invasion of aquatic species like zebra and quagga mussels.

Many New Mexicans have heard of quagga and zebra mussels. Boaters in New Mexico usually know that the invasive mussels could have a disastrous impact on New Mexico’s waters. However, many people do not know one very important fact.

Only seven states in the lower 48 are still mussel free, since the mussels began spreading throughout the country in the 1980s: Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. It is important for people to know that mussels have not invaded New Mexico’s waters, and that the diligence of boaters who clean, drain and dry every time is paying off. And it is important for people to know that it is not too late to keep the aquatic invaders out of New Mexico.

One of the benefits of mussel-free waters is that it saves New Mexicans money. Fighting mussels is expensive and labor intensive, and there are no known means for eradicating them once they arrive. Managing mussels requires expensive routine treatments that lead to increased utility bills and water usage fees.

It costs millions of dollars a year to unclog mussel-filled pipes used for irrigation and drinking water as well as clean fouled hydroelectric dam equipment coated in mussels. Engine clogging non-native mussels can ruin boat motors and other equipment by blocking intakes on cooling systems.

The mussels are prolific, and when die-offs occur, the mussels wash up on lakeshores, emitting foul odors and littering miles of beaches with sharp shells. The mussels also devastate lake ecosystems. The voracious mussels graze on algae typically eaten by fish larva. The mussels filter out algae from lake water at an impressive rate of one liter of water per day and have a profound effect on the food chain.

Now is not the time to let down our guard. In fact, now that invasive mussels have been discovered at nearby Lake Powell and all the states surrounding New Mexico, it is important to be even more diligent.

It is still possible to keep quagga and zebra mussels out of New Mexico, if people continue to help stop the spread.

Boaters can inadvertently spread the aquatic invaders when they do not properly clean, drain and dry their boats. Mussels contaminate boats and equipment when they are launched in infested waters. Adult zebra and quagga mussels attached to a boat can hitch a ride to a new body of water. Microscopic mussel eggs and larva stow away in standing water left in boat bilge compartments, live wells and depressions.

Boaters recreating in positive waters cannot be sure their boats are mussel free unless, in addition to cleaning and draining their boats, they also allow their boats to dry completely.

That means following the recommended amount of time sufficient to kill mussels, and their larva, before launching in other waters.

The mussels can live out of the water a long time, and the general recommendation is to remove all standing water and let a boat dry for a minimum of 30 days. New Mexico’s dry climate can shorten drying times.

The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish reminds boat owners to clean, drain and dry every time to help prevent the spread of invasive species.

By John Marhsall

The Associated Press

BRECKENRIDGE, Colo. errill Mann had always been intrigued when she saw people on standup paddleboards tooling around on area lakes, so when she found a coupon for a rental, she decided to give it a try.

Now she’s hooked.

“I loved it the first time I tried it,” said Mann, who rides on lakes near her home in Avon. “Anything with the outdoors, being on the water, it’s very serene yet you’re getting a workout. You’re exercising and out in the sun.”

Standup paddleboarding has exploded in popularity the past few years. A sort of combination between surfing and kayaking, it has become a hit on oceans, lakes and rivers across the United States and beyond.

According to a 2013 Outdoor Foundation recreation report, standup paddleboarding was the most popular outdoor activity for first-time participants, garnering 56 percent of the newbies among all outdoor activities last year.

The appeal is simple: It’s relatively easy, available to a wide range of ages and can be done just about anywhere there’s a body of water.

“I think the reason it’s blowing up so much is there’s no limitations,” said RJ Murray, co-owner of Three Brothers Boards in Daytona Beach, Fla. “As long as you have a body of water, it doesn’t matter where you

are. People who lived away from the ocean and wanted to be in that environment never really had that option before paddleboarding.”

Standup paddleboarding is not new.

The ancient Hawaiians were believed to use it as transportation between islands and for fishing, while fishermen from Asia to South America have used forms of standup paddleboarding while working their catch.

The recent rise in popularity started with surfers and carried on with tourists in beach towns who then took the idea back to where they live.

Now, standup paddleboarders can be found cruising along the shore on just about every coast, across mountain lakes, racing down rivers and even participating in group yoga classes atop their boards.

“When I first heard people wanted to do yoga classes on paddleboards, I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’ ” said Murray, who started Three Brothers with his brother Justin in 2009. (A third brother, Jason, died earlier that year.) “People are getting really creative with it. I can’t imagine where it will be four years from now.”

The equipment certainly has changed.

Little more than modified surf-

boards just a few years ago, boards now are specifically designed for standup paddling, averaging 10 to 12 feet in length and contoured for easy balancing. Ocean boards are typically made of the same materials as surfboards, while boards used on lakes and rivers can be made of inflatable material used for river rafts or injected plastic like kayaks.

Optimal size for the paddle is 8 to 10 inches longer than the paddler, to give them leverage.

“The boards have gotten more complex, the competition stiffer,” Murray said. “In four years, the sport has done a 180.”

The changes have added to the popularity.

Because the boards have become so sturdy, standup paddleboarding has become a sport nearly anyone can handle, not just surfers or swimmers.

Set up with the right size board and calm water conditions, most first-timers only need about 10 minutes to feel comfortable and start paddling away. It gets a bit more difficult when there are waves or a current, but remains accessible to people from 7 to 77, according to Murray.

“You pretty much get up at your own pace,” said Mary Hoffius, who lives in Breckenridge and has been standup paddleboarding for three years. “You start off on your knees and you stand up. The boards are really sturdy now. It’s actually hard to fall off on a still body of water. It took me no time.”

HAPPY TRAILS

Borrego Trail: a mix of history, rough-edged beauty

By Margaret Alexander For The New Mexican

T

o be outdoors, away from the heat, that’s the goal in July. The Borrego Trail, 22 miles long in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, is only a short drive northeast of Santa Fe, and crosses Tesuque Creek, Rio en Medio, Rio Nambé, Rio Capulin and more. Besides the cool temperatures, there’s history and archaeology to amuse on the way.

The Borrego-Winsor-Bear Wallow triangle starts just above Hyde State Park and is extremely popular, even on weekdays. In all, it’s 4 miles. Parking is frequently tight. Near the parking area is a stone water trough, probably used by livestock after the long trek up from Tesuque Creek, on the way down to the trading town of Santa Fe. The Borrego leg of the triangle is the steepest; the Bear Wallow section is either all uphill or all downhill, depending on if you’re a clockwise looper or counter, but the slope is fairly gentle and moves through a lovely canyon. Wildflowers — wild roses, scarlet penstemon, clematis, violets, strawberries, columbine — appear along the loop.

At the Tesuque Creek crossings, the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society has installed two sturdy bridges.

About 100 feet north of the creek crossing, the Borrego meets the Winsor Trail, and the two dovetail until Pacheco Canyon Road. The Borrego follows

RAY: When the threads in your cylinder head get stripped and a spark plug blows out, a Heli-Coil sometimes can save the day.

TOM: The Heli-Coil is basically an insert.

It’s bigger than the original spark plug; so you screw the Heli-Coil into the cylinder head,

and then the spark plug screws into the HeliCoil. Got it?

RAY: But it doesn’t always work.

Sometimes the hole is badly damaged to begin with, or sometimes, because of the design of the engine, it’s di∞cult to get good access to the a≠ected cylinder.

Or sometimes the mechanic screws it up.

It’s a tricky job.

TOM: What the dealer did wrong was that he neglected to warn you that the repair might fail.

RAY: Now that it has, you probably need to have your cylinder head sent out and repaired, if possible. If it can’t be DOMESTIC

repaired, you’ll need a new cylinder head, which probably will cost you a good $1,500.

TOM: Before you drop that much on this vehicle, have the rest of the truck thoroughly checked out first. Make sure you’re not about to need a ring job or a new transmission, too, before you invest in a cylinder head.

RAY: But if the Suburban is otherwise in good shape, and you want to keep it for some more years, you should start cylinder-head shopping. Or get used to the sound of a V-7 engine. Sorry for the gloomy news, Ken. 4X4s

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Man may come across as needy Dear Annie: I am a 76-year-old man. After 46 years of a happy marriage, my precious wife passed away four years ago. I live in the country and have become acquainted with several single women around my age who are widows or divorcees and live within a 20-mile radius. I have taken a few of them out to dinner or to a play. They go with me once or twice and won’t go again. They tell me they are too busy with their grandchildren. One said, “We are too different.” Another said she is not in the dating mood.

All have told me that I am a real nice guy, and it’s not because of anything I did or said.

I’ve never made inappropriate advances toward these women.

I’ve only asked for a little hug because I miss holding my wife.

But it seems they do not want to be touched, and two of them told me that I am expecting too much. I have never indicated that I wanted more than a hug, although I have to admit, in my own mind, I have hoped that after going out a few times, we could go a little farther than that. I’m not looking for a serious relationship.

I am just extremely lonesome and would like to have a companion to go places with and be together occasionally.

I’m at a loss here. Do you have any suggestions? Please tell me what I’m doing wrong. — Lonesome Okie Dear Lonesome: We don’t know what you are doing wrong.

If you are giving these women the impression that you want physical affection, but not a serious relationship, they may not be interested. Asking for hugs on a first date may be too forward, or it may frighten them. We know you are lonely, but please slow down. You might be coming across as too needy, which is not attractive. Get to know these women as friends first, and see where it leads. And

if you are interested in online dating, your local library can provide a computer.

Dear Annie: My brother’s daughter is getting married this summer. She’s having a huge wedding. All of the nieces, nephews and cousins are invited except our three daughters. My brother said they have to cut somewhere.

Should I just shrug this off? I told my mother that I’m so upset, I’m thinking of never seeing or speaking to my brother again. Is this a feeling I should be having?

Should I ask my brother what we did to them that they would exclude us in this way? — Not a Happy Sister Dear Sister: Generally, it is wise to “cut” along the same family lines, so that, for example, you invite all first cousins or none of them. However, sometimes the bride or groom has a close relationship with some cousins and not others. In such cases, if the guest list is limited, it makes sense to invite those with whom you are closest. Is it possible that your children are especially distant from the bride? Have they had a falling out of which you are unaware? Unless there is a reason, we find this exclusion unnecessarily hurtful. We hope you can work through it.

Dear Annie: “Disgusted in N.Y.” said her 85-year-old aunt never had a bath in the six weeks she spent in the hospital. There is evidence not to bathe hospital patients using plastic tubs due to increased infection rates when tubs are not disinfected sufficiently between uses.

As a result, many hospitals have adopted the use of prepackaged disposable bath wipes. Often these are warmed and feel good to the patient, and it cleans them.

Perhaps the hospital needs to investigate using these wipes. — Pennsylvania Nurse

Sheinwold’s bridge

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You need some downtime.

Even if you are out and about, you are likely to remain closed off. Tonight: Nap first, then decide.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Zero in on friends’ plans, and maintain an even pace in order to clear up what must be done. Tonight: Where the people are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might feel pressured once more by a parent or loved one. Be sure to respond to others’ authority and concerns. Tonight: Celebrate.

Answer________

1. A small drink. 2. A small lie. 3. A small child.

4. A small piece of a baked item (bread, cake, etc.). 5. A small cut (with scissors). 6. A small stream (brook, river). 7. A small (wooden) keg.

8. A small laugh. 9. A small piece of dust.

Today in history Today is Thursday, July 3, the 184th day of 2014. There are 181 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On July 3, 1863, the three-day Civil War Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania ended in a major victory for the North as Confederate troops failed to breach Union positions during an assault known as Pickett’s Charge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Connect with someone at a distance whom you might have plans with for the holiday. Tonight: Switch gears.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Someone you care a lot about could be quite demanding. Don’t allow this person to force your hand. Tonight: Join a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others come forward with suggestions. They seem to be very concerned about how you feel. Let them dote on you. Tonight: Enjoy the evening.
