Artistí s dog poop cleanup turns dicey Santa Fe officer points rifle at man mistaken for burglar

By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

A nationally recognized Native American artist who pulled into an east-side Santa Fe driveway to clean dog poop from inside his SUV found himself looking at the barrel of a police officer’s rifle Monday, after a resident mistook him for a burglar.

“It’s kind of embarrassing, but that’s what happened,” said Mateo Romero, a Cochiti

Romero said Wednesday that he was on his way to pick up his son from summer school at about noon Monday when Han Solo, his pet — a Shih Tzu — relieved himself inside the SUV. Romero pulled into a driveway in the 1100 block of Old Santa Fe Trail to clean up the mess.

He parked in the driveway, Romero said, because there isn’t a lot of space to park on that part of Old Santa Fe Trail.

“She became extremely agitated,” Romero said. “I don’t know what she thought was happening.”

According to a police report, Officer Chris Mooney arrived at Markus’ home and pointed his rifle “at the low and ready position and gave the suspect verbal commands

Smoking in Santa Fe is already prohibited in many public places, including bars, restaurants and within 25 feet of a building entrance.

Now a city councilor wants to outlaw smoking, including electronic cigarettes, in public parks and recreational areas.

Ron Trujillo, who led the successful effort earlier this Ron Trujillo year to place the same restrictions on e-cigarettes as regular cigarettes, acknowledged that enforcement would be a challenge.

But he said Wednesday the new proposed ban is the right thing to do.

“The reason I’m looking at it is I’ve gone to parks where kids are playing, and there’s … Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa smoking on a cigarette, and you can smell it,” Trujillo said. “I don’t want the kids exposed to the smoke.”

The proposed ordinance, introduced by Trujillo at Wednesday’s City Council meeting, is already generating resistance.

he stretch between Albuquerque and Santa Fe has become a familiar sight for Reed Liming.

Every Monday through Friday for the past decade, Liming has spent about two hours and 20 minutes traveling between the two cities to get to his government job at Santa Fe’s City Hall.

“It’s a tradeoff,” said Liming, who moved to Albuquerque from Santa Fe about 10 years ago to be close to his children. “Economists refer to it as ‘opportunity cost.’ For anything we do, we’re giving up something else.”

Liming isn’t alone.

In fact, more than half of the city’s workforce lives outside city limits, according to a report by economist Ashley Leach of the state Department of Workforce Solutions. The biggest group of commuters, 15 percent, comes from Albuquerque, followed by Rio Rancho at 7 percent.

Leach analyzed commuting patterns for the city of Santa Fe between 2002 and 2011, the most current data available, and found that the number of people living outside the city but commuting in for work grew to 51 percent, up from 42 percent.

During the same period, the number of people leaving Santa Fe for work increased to 19 percent, from 15 percent, while the share of total workers who live and work in Santa Fe dropped to 30 percent from 43 percent, according to

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israeli aircraft are targeting houses in the Gaza Strip as never before, firing precision missiles into family living rooms. They have killed at least five known militants with the tactic — but they appear to have killed more civilians, including a growing number of women and children.

Israeli defense officials say their mission is not only to stop Hamas and other militant groups in the Gaza Strip from firing ever more powerful rockets deeper into Israel, as they did on Wednesday, but to weaken Hamas by killing its commanders.

But by targeting 60 houses in the past 48 hours, Israel’s risk of inflicting collateral damage has soared.

The health ministry in Gaza reported Wednesday evening that 41 residents of the coastal enclave have been killed in Israeli strikes since the conflict began early Tuesday — and that 13 of the dead were 16 years old or younger. At least seven were women, and a handful were elderly, such as Naifeh Farjallah, who was 80.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday night that Hamas is to blame. “Hamas is thus committing a double war crime,” he said. “It targets Israeli civilians, while hiding behind civilians.”

The picture is no better in the United States, where only 9.4 percent of 15-year-olds were able to answer the most difficult questions on an international test of their financial knowledge and skills. More than 1 in 6 U.S. students did not reach the baseline level of proficiency in financial literacy. At best, those students could make only simple decisions on everyday spending, said a report released Wednesday by the Parisbased Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

OECD called financial literacy “an essential life skill” for teens. Already at 15, many have bank accounts and debit cards. And “many students nearing the end of compulsory education also have to decide, with their parents, whether to continue with post-compulsory education and how to finance such education,” the report said.

Alex McClain, 15, of Anderson Township, Ohio, does not have a bank account. But he says taking a personal finance course last semester has better prepared him.

SAN DIEGO — Investigators who spent weeks examining photos and tips from the public have identified a juvenile as a suspect for intentionally starting the most destructive of nearly a dozen wildfires that ripped through Southern California this spring, officials said Wednesday.

The San Diego County District Attorney’s office said a hearing has been set for July 30 for the juvenile, whose identity has not been released.

The blaze burned 36 houses and one business in San Marcos, a city of 85,000 north of San Diego.

Investigators say the suspect is not believed to be linked to the other wildfires burning at that time.

The statement did not specify that the suspect had been spying for the United States. But if a second German is found to have been spying for the Americans, it would deepen the trans-Atlantic quarrel that erupted over an employee of the German foreign intelligence service who is said to have been run by the CIA after volunteering information two years ago.

Rapes not investigated at 2 in 5 colleges, report states WASHINGTON — A survey of colleges and universities finds a lack of coordination between many campuses and local law enforcement in handling sexual assaults, and that many schools have gone years without investigating such cases.

More than 20 percent of large, private schools conducted fewer investigations than the number of

incidents reported to the Education Department.

Among the other findings: u More than 20 percent of respondents provide no sexual assault training for all faculty and staff. u More than 30 percent of schools do not provide sexual assault training for students. u About half of the participating colleges and universities do not provide a hotline for sexual assault victims.

Police want to take graphic photos of teen in sexting case

By Matthew Barakat The Associated Press

McLEAN, Va. — A Virginia teenager is fighting efforts by police who want to take photos of him in a sexually aroused state to try to prove a sexting case against him.

Prosecutors in Prince William County told a judge they need photos of the 17-year-old’s erect penis to compare against photos he is accused of sending to his 15-year-old girlfriend at the time.

The teen has been charged in juvenile court with possessing and manufacturing child pornography related to the images of himself he’s accused of creating.

The teen’s lawyers say the search warrant allowing the photographs has been authorized by a magistrate but not yet executed. They are fighting the warrant in court; a hearing is scheduled for next week.

Defense lawyer Jessica Foster said she is unaware of any cases where police have pursued similar photographs, particularly of a minor.

“This is crazy,” she said. “Nobody’s even heard of something like this. … The charges are excessive, and the means by which they are seeking evidence are outrageous.”

The lawyers said police have told them they plan to obtain the photo by taking the teen to a hospital and injecting him with a chemical that would cause

an erection. The teen’s aunt and legal guardian has sent the teen out of state for now so the warrant can’t be executed.

“He’s overwhelmed. He’s scared ” because police could theoretically show up at any time to try to execute the warrant and take the photographs, she said.

Police have been pursuing the case since January, the aunt said, when the girlfriend’s mom discovered the explicit content.

She said prosecutors insisted on getting the photographs after her nephew turned down a plea deal that would have required a year of probation in which he would be forbidden from using a cellphone or the Internet.

NEW ORLEANS — C. Ray Nagin, the former mayor of New Orleans, was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday on federal corruption charges, ending a case that began with the rebuilding of the city after Hurricane Katrina.

The sentence was less than the recommended 15 years, but Judge Ginger Berrigan of U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana told the court that the evidence failed to show that Nagin had organized or had been a leader of a corruption C. Ray Nagin scheme.

“Mr. Nagin claimed a much, much smaller share of the profits of the crime than any other member of the group,” Berrigan said, referring to the businessmen who profited from the scheme. The judge said Nagin’s leadership was much needed after Hurricane Katrina but that it had also been lagging.

Prosecutors objected to the sentence, a move that could set up an appeal.

Nagin, who will remain out on bond, hugged family and friends after the sentencing, and was quickly driven away from the courtroom.

“I’m trusting God is going to work all this out,” he said during sentencing. The judge ordered him to report for prison no later than Sept. 8.

Nagin, a Democrat, was found guilty in February on 20 counts relating to kickbacks from contractors. He was arrested in January 2013, nearly three years after he left office. He was charged with taking kickbacks in the form of cash, cross-country trips or help with the family-run granite countertop company; the bribes were handed out by men looking for city business ranging from software supplies to sidewalk repair. Many of the schemes, though not all, took place after Hurricane Katrina, when contractors crowded into the city for rebuilding work.

Many of those involved eventually pleaded guilty and testified at length against Nagin at his trial. The corruption had been so thoroughly covered in the local news media that few people were surprised by the verdicts. Nagin had come into office in 2002 as a reformer from the business world and a foe of cronyism.

But the city grew frustrated with his stewardship, particularly in his second term when the rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina stalled and Nagin seemed unengaged. By the time he left office in 2010, many in New Orleans had moved past frustration and were simply ready to see him go.

BAGHDAD — The ethnic and sectarian tensions that threaten to tear Iraq apart flared Wednesday as the prime minister accused the Kurdish self-rule region of harboring the Sunni militants who have overrun much of the country, and 50 bodies were discovered dumped in a village south of Baghdad.

It was not clear who the men were or why they were killed, but such grisly scenes were common during the darkest days of the Iraq War, and the deaths raised fears of another round of sectarian bloodletting. Many of the victims were bound, blindfolded and shot in the head.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s allegations, made in his weekly televised address, are likely to worsen Baghdad’s already thorny relationship with the Kurds, whose fighters have been battling the insurgents over the past month.

MERIDITH KOHUT/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Autonomous University of Honduras. Last year, 1,013 people younger than 23 were murdered in a nation of 8 million.

Although homicides dropped sharply in 2012 after a gang truce in neighboring El Salvador, so far this year murders of children 17 and younger are up 77 percent from the same time period a year ago, the police said.

Nowhere is the flow of departures more acute than in San Pedro Sula, a city in northwestern Honduras that has the world’s highest homicide rate, according to United Nations figures.

Between January and May of this year, more than 2,200 children from the city arrived in the United States, according to Department of Homeland Security statistics.

More than half of the Top 50 Central American cities from which children are leaving for the United States are in Honduras. Children are killed for refusing to join gangs, over vendettas against their parents, or because they are caught up in gang disputes.

Obama said Perry raised four areas of concern dealing with the number of border patrol agents, the positioning of those agents, the different policies for immigrants coming from Mexico versus Central America and the functioning of the U.S. immigrant judicial system.

Obama said if Congress passes his emergency funding request, the government will have to resources to take some of the steps Perry recommended.

He said the problem is fixable if lawmakers are interested in solving it, but that if the preference is for politics, it won’t be solved.

DALLAS — Sitting down with one of his harshest critics, President Barack Obama said Wednesday he was open to all of Gov. Rick Perry’s suggestions for addressing the wave of unaccompanied minors coming over the border from Mexico, urging Congress to approve his request for more funding so that those and other ideas can be put in place.

Obama said he was willing to consider dispatching National Guard troops to the border, as Perry suggested, but warned it would only be a temporary solution.

He said if Perry and Republicans want the problem to be fixed in the longer term, they should press Congress to move quickly to fund his request.

Financial: N.M. one of 19 states that require course per unit to determine which had a better value.

The most difficult asked students to analyze two loan proposals with differing rates and terms and choose the better offer.

Michael Davidson, head of early childhood education and schools division for the OECD, says successful schools don’t let students fall behind. Shanghai schools, he said, perform well because they identify students who are struggling and provide the support those children need.

Financial education in schools varies.

In New Zealand, for example, financial literacy has been included in the curriculum since 2007, the report said. And in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai-China, regular training on finance has been part of the program since 2009 in primary and lower secondary schools.

In the U.S., just 19 states require a course in personal finance to be offered in high school, according to a 2014 report from the Council for Economic Education. Those states are: New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, New Mexico, South Dakota, North Dakota, Arizona, Utah, and Idaho.

Santa Fe has always been known as a major commuting city. But a recently released study shows that more than half of its workforce lives outside the city. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

Workforce: Numbers raise concerns about losing tax revenue Continued from Page A-1 Leach’s analysis.

The numbers are raising concerns among city and civic leaders, who say it’s not just the thousands of commuters but millions of dollars in potential tax revenue that’s leaving the city.

“Half of the people working here are not spending their wages here,” said Mike Loftin, executive director of Homewise Inc., a nonprofit that helps low- and moderate-income people purchase homes.

“I’ve always said that the low-hanging fruit in economic development is to get people to live near where they work because then they spend their money where they work. If there’s only one thing we could do economic developmentwise for Santa Fe, it would be to get the workforce to live here,” Loftin said.

A 2007 study by Homewise found that the local economy loses an estimated $301.6 million in annual spending when workers live outside Santa Fe and commute to work.

“To me, it raises some warning flags that we’re losing so much revenue,” said Simon Brackley, president and CEO of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce.

“When they take that $300 million out of town, every time they spend that, whether it’s on rent or mortgage or a grocery store or buying shoes, Santa Fe loses that tax revenue.

That’s very, very significant in terms of financing our civic amenities,” he said.

The Department of Workforce Solutions report didn’t list any factors for why the number of people commuting to Santa Fe for work has gone up.

But one contributing factor might be Santa Fe’s higher minimum wage — at $10.66 an hour the highest in New Mex-

ico. Though that is not a factor for higher-paid workers with the the state or federal government, it might be increasing commuters among those in lower-paid industries, especially leisure and hospitality.

And the study does indicate that younger workers who earn less than $1,250 a month are more likely to commute.

Matthew Martinez, president of the police union, estimates that more than half of the police force lives outside Santa Fe. “I had an officer come up to me the other day and tell me that he was looking for a house here in Santa Fe,” Martinez said. “There’s a builder here in Santa Fe that also builds in Albuquerque. The floor plan that he was considering buying here in Santa Fe was $360,000.

The same floor plan in Albuquerque with a little bit more land was $220,000.”

But Martinez, who lives outside city limits, said police officers often don’t want to live in the city where they work to avoid running into the criminals they encounter on the job.

“I’ve literally been told by a suspect that he was going to rape and kill my 2-year-old daughter at the time because he saw us at the baseball park,” Martinez said. “That’s the type of stuff that officers don’t want to deal with.”

Still, city officials recognize that the city’s cost of living is literally driving employees away.

“The long-term viability of Santa Fe depends on providing more affordable housing opportunities in rental and home ownership here in the city,” Mayor Javier Gonzales said in an email. “We also need to focus on building, retaining and aligning a skilled workforce to opportunities in the city, which requires collaboration with our educational institutions at all levels.”

to get onto the ground.”

Romero was handcuffed and put in the back seat of Mooney’s patrol car, he said, while he “tried to offer an explanation.”

But Romero said the officer told him, “You’ll get a chance to explain your story later.”

Police said that after they searched Romero and didn’t find any of the woman’s property on him, they let him go.

“It appeared to be a misunderstanding,” the police report said. “Mr. Romero was understanding and polite.”

Celina Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe Police Department, said there was no evidence of dog poop in Romero’s SUV. Romero said that’s because he had cleaned it up before the officer arrived and threw it into the nearby bushes.

Espinoza said Mooney was advised that Markus’ house had been burglarized in the past. She said Mooney pointed the rifle at Romero for about 5 seconds for safety reasons.

Brackley said he would like the city to partner with other groups, including the chamber and the construction industry, on a campaign touting the advantages of living in Santa Fe. “We have had a reputation as being an expensive place to live,” he said. “However, I think that reputation is out of date because since then, we’ve had a recession, we’ve had a pretty major correction in terms of home prices, we’ve had construction of apartments and other living alternatives here.

Of course people have to make the decision: Do you want to spend two hours on the highway or on the train every day — every day, that’s a lot of time — or wouldn’t you rather be home in 10 minutes and have a house in Santa Fe?” The quality of the public schools could also factor in workers’ decision to live outside the city, Loftin said.

“The Santa Fe Public Schools have not had a great reputation,” he said. “I think that’s changing. I think the new leadership at the schools is doing a really good job on making improvements. They’ve already reduced the dropout rates.”

Dan Ware, spokesman for the state Forestry Division, has commuted to Santa Fe from Albuquerque for almost 11 years. He said he and his wife considered moving to Santa Fe, but then she’d have to commute to her job in Albuquerque.

“I commute because this is where the job is,” he said. “I made that decision to apply for the job knowing that I’d be working in Santa Fe. My job is very meaningful to me, so it’s worth it.”

Ware, who spends about $100 a week on gas, said he “got out of the habit” of taking the Rail Runner commuter train.

“It’s almost embarrassing to admit,” he said. “Here I could be taking the train every day and spending $100 a month, but here I am driving my car and spending $100 a week. The train is much more practical.”

Loftin said there are proven incentives for people to live where they work, including down-payment assistance, reasonable mortgage programs and building affordable homes.

“This community knows how to do it. We just need to do more,” he said.

“Maybe the timing of this report is a good thing because it gives us a focus,” Loftin added. “It’s like, at least do this, at least do something to keep the workforce here. There’s other things we have to work on, too. But why this one matters so much is you don’t have to figure out a brand-new thing. We know how to do this already. We just have to execute well and do more of it.”

Colombia, at the bottom, scored 379.

In the rankings, Shanghai was followed by the Flemish Community of Belgium, Estonia, Australia, New Zealand, the Czech Republic, Poland, Latvia, the U.S., Russia and France. At the bottom of the list: Slovenia, Spain, Croatia, Israel, the Slovak Republic, Italy and Colombia.

Reacting to the study, U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan said average isn’t “good enough” and American schools can do better.

“Our economy is changing so much and the idea of young people going into the world of work, staying with one job for 40 years, having secure pension and retirement, those jobs are basically gone,” Duncan told reporters Wednesday. Young people need to have a “level of financial literacy that 20 or 30, 40 years ago, maybe wasn’t applied. But today it’s an absolute necessity.”

The questions on the twohour paper test ranged from simple to complex. The easiest questions asked students to display basic financial literacy skills, such as recognizing the purpose of an invoice or comparing prices

Romero said he fears that policy could lead to accidental deaths of innocent people. He said he plans to file a complaint about the incident. “I don’t expect an apology from the woman or the officer who pointed the Mateo gun at me,” Romero said.

Romero “But I want to change this policy. … That’s what this is about.”

Romero is no stranger to accidental shootings. In May 2012, he fired his own gun at a gas station to ward off a panhandler and injured an innocent bystander.

Romero said at the time that he was putting gasoline in his vehicle at the Allsup’s at 305 N. Guadalupe St. when the aggressive panhandler approached him. Romero said he reached inside his car to get his semi-automatic handgun, hoping that brandishing it would get the man to leave him alone. But after the man kept yelling and slammed his hand onto the car hood, Romero said, he fired a “warning shot” at

the man’s feet.

A fragment of the bullet ricocheted off the concrete near the gas pumps and hit 24-year-old Elijah Mark Vera in the left hip as Vera was using a pay phone nearby. Vera was treated at the hospital and released.

Police did not charge Romero with a crime because he was acting in self-defense, his lawyer, Dan Cron, said after the incident.

But Vera filed a lawsuit accusing Romero of gross negligence and reckless behavior, and said he should be held accountable for Vera’s medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and damages.

The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money.

Romero and Markus said they haven’t spoken with one another since Monday’s misunderstanding.

“It’s very comical,” Markus said of the incident. “But it wasn’t funny at the time.”

Ban: Councilors mull e≠ cig inclusion Continued from Page A-1 Carlos Trujillo, 18, who smokes about half a pack a day, said the proposal infringes on his rights.

“I don’t feel you should ban smoking in public parks because that’s, like, a right.

This is supposed to be freedom,” Garcia said while hanging out with friends Wednesday evening in Cathedral Park downtown.

“Maybe smoking next to the kids should be controlled, but not smoking in the park in general — because there could be a kid over here, and I could smoke over here, and it’s not going to affect the kid 20 feet away from me,” he said.

Trujillo said there are plenty of other places where people can smoke besides parks and recreational areas.

“People go there to recreate, have fun at the parks,” he said. “I feel you don’t need to be smoking at the parks even though it is an open space.”

City Councilor Signe Lindell initially signed on as a co-sponsor of the proposed legislation, calling it the “smoke, spit and chew ordinance,” since it would include chewing tobacco.

But after Trujillo announced that he wanted to include e-cigarettes, which some people use as a smok-

ing cessation, Lindell said, she was reconsidering her support.

“I have to evaluate that,” she said, adding that e-cigarettes have helped a large number of people quit smoking regular cigarettes.

City Councilor Patti Bushee said she would consider adding her name as a co-sponsor to the proposed ordinance before Trujillo said it would include e-cigarettes.

“But I want the details first,” she said. “I’ve been a strong advocate for no smoking in open spaces and am interested in seeing the details of enforcement, but I’m there in spirit.”

Trujillo said enforcement will be a key part of the discussion.

“You’re not going to have code enforcement and police at every single park all the time,” he said. “I’m hoping some of these leagues will remind their players, will remind spectators, if it does pass, that tobacco-related products, be it cigarettes, chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes, aren’t allowed in the park. I think the majority of people will abide by it.”

Chinese hackers seek data on U.S. workers

By Michael S. Schmidt, David E. Sanger and Nicole Perlroth The New York Times

WASHINGTON — Chinese hackers in March broke into the computer networks of the U.S. government agency that houses the personal information of all federal employees, according to senior U.S. officials. They appeared to be targeting the files on tens of thousands of employees who have applied for topsecret security clearances.

The hackers gained access to some of the databases of the Office of Personnel Management before the federal authorities detected the threat and blocked them from the network, according to the officials. It is not yet clear how far the hackers penetrated the agency’s systems, in which applicants for security clearances list their foreign contacts, previous jobs and personal information, like past drug use.

In response to questions about the matter, a senior Department of Homeland Security official confirmed that the attack had occurred but said that, “at this time,” neither the personnel agency nor Homeland Security had “identified any loss of personally identifiable information.” The official said an emergency response team had been assigned “to assess and mitigate any risks identified.”

One senior U.S. official said that the attack was traced to China, although it was not clear if the hackers were part of the government.

Its disclosure comes as a delegation of senior U.S. officials, led by Secretary of State John Kerry, are in Beijing for the annual Strategic and Economic Dialogue, the leading forum for discussion between the United States and China on their commercial relationships and their wary efforts to work together on economic and defense issues.

Computer intrusions have been a major source of discussion and disagreement between the countries, and the

Chinese can point to evidence, revealed

by Edward J. Snowden, that the National Security Agency went deep into the computer systems of Huawei, a major maker of computer network equipment, and ran many programs to intercept the conversations of Chinese leaders and the military.

U.S. officials say the attack on the Office of Personnel Management was notable because while hackers try to breach U.S. government servers nearly every day, they rarely succeed. One of the last attacks the government acknowledged occurred last year at the Department of Energy.

In that case, hackers made off with employee and contractors’ personal data.

The agency was forced to reveal the attack because state disclosure laws force entities to report breaches in cases where personally identifiable information is compromised. Government agencies do not have to disclose breaches in which sensitive government secrets, but no personally identifiable information, has been stolen.

Just a month ago, the Justice Department indicted a group of Chinese hackers who work for the People’s Liberation Army Unit 61398 and charged them with stealing corporate secrets.

The same unit, and others linked to the PLA, have been accused in the past of intrusions into U.S. government computer systems, including in the office of the secretary of defense.

But private security researchers say the indictments have hardly deterred the PLA from hacking foreign targets, and U.S. officials are increasingly concerned that they have failed in their effort to deter computer attacks from China or elsewhere.

“There’s no price to pay for the Chinese,” one senior intelligence official said recently, “and nothing will change until that changes.”

The indictments have been criticized as long on symbolism and short on real

punishment: There is very little chance that the Chinese military members would ever see the inside of an U.S. courtroom, even if the FBI has put their pictures on wanted posters.

“I think that it was speaking loudly and carrying a small stick,” said Dennis Blair, the former director of national intelligence during President Barack Obama’s first term, who was the co-author of a report last year urging that the United States create a series of financial disincentives for computer theft and attacks, including halting some forms of imports and blocking access to U.S. financial markets.

Not long after several members of Unit 61398 were indicted, security researchers were able to pin hundreds more cyberattacks at U.S. and European space and satellite technology companies and research groups on a second Shanghai-based Chinese military unit, known as Unit 61486. Researchers say that even after Americans indicted their counterparts in Unit 61398, members of Unit 61486 have shown no signs of scaling back.

The same proved true for the dozen other Chinese military and naval units that U.S. officials have been tracking as they break into an ever more concerning list of corporate targets including drone, missile and nuclear propulsion technology makers.

The intrusion at the Office of Personnel Management was particularly disturbing because it oversees a system called e-QIP, in which federal employees applying for security clearances enter their most personal information, including financial data. Federal employees who have had security clearances for some time are often required to update their personal information through the website.

The agencies and the contractors use the information from e-QIP to investigate the employees and ultimately determine whether they should be granted security clearances or have them updated.

Smoke and a ball of fire rise after a strike in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday. Israel stepped up its offensive on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, pummeling scores of targets and killing more than 20 people as Israeli leaders signaled a weeks-long ground invasion could be quickly approaching. HATEM MOUSSA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Israel: Rockets reach well beyond Tel Aviv Continued from Page A-1 With the conflict intensifying and no sign of a cease-fire in sight, Palestinian militants fired rockets that flew well beyond Tel Aviv, Israel’s commercial capital, and landed in the country’s coastal high-tech corridor.

The major Mediterranean port city of Haifa, about 100 miles north of the Gaza border, ordered the opening of its public bomb shelters Wednesday after rockets hit towns to the south at Zichron Yaakov, Caesaria and Hadera. It was the first time that rockets from Gaza had flown that far into Israel.

The Israeli military said a Hamas rocket that struck Hadera, about 70 miles north of the Gaza border, was an M-302 class rocket, similar to ones found aboard a freighter that the Israelis intercepted in the Red Sea in March. The ship was ferrying a load of Iranian-supplied arms to Gaza when it was stopped, the Israelis said.

The group Human Rights Watch on Wednesday declared that since the Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel are both indiscriminate and target civilian population centers, they amount to war crimes.

The group also said: “Israeli attacks targeting homes may amount to prohibited collective punishment.”

Israeli F-16s, Apaches and armed drones have hit more than 500 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past two days.

Awad Al Nawasra was sleeping under a dusty orange tree during the long hot afternoon Wednesday when he said: “I heard the voice of the rocket and then I was floating.”

When he awoke, the front of his twostory house was torn away by an Israeli airstrike. His 24-year-old son was dead alongside his wife. Buried in the rubble were his two grandsons, ages 4 and 2.

Nawasra said he had nothing to do with Hamas or militants. He said his dead

son was a telephone technician.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the airstrikes on Gaza and compared the Israeli operation to a form of “genocide.”

“This war is not against Hamas or any faction, but against the Palestinian people,” Abbas said.

The Israelis say that Hamas does not maintain traditional forces or military bases but hides its weapons caches and launch pads among the populace, while its commanders live at home with their families. The Israelis have killed at least five known militants from the groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

“We use everything at hand to try to avoid and avert civilian casualties,” said Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner. “We phone up our enemies and tell them that we are going to blow up the building, we throw non-explosive munitions and that is a sign they are supposed to vacate the building. Only once we have seen them vacate the building — and we are talking about command and control places and not the terrorists themselves — then we hit.”

At least 300 people, more than half of them women and children, were injured seriously enough to be taken to area hospitals in the past two days, said Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf alQidra.

On Wednesday morning, two Israeli missiles struck the side yard of Zaher Hamdan, who was found an hour later slumped against a neighbor’s wall in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, sobbing and cursing the Israelis.

“The Israelis feed off blood,” he said.

“If they want to knock down my house, knock it down! But they kill. They love killing.”

Hamdan said he had nothing to do with Hamas or other militant groups. He said there were no phone calls or warning rockets.

Hamdan’s sister-in-law, Sahar al-Masri, 40, and her 14-year-old son, Ibrahim, were sitting beneath a shade tree in the garden when two rockets struck. The second one killed them both.

Two of Masri’s daughters were wounded. One of the daughters, a toddler, was vomiting and crying in the back of an ambulance at nearby Beit Hanoun Hospital, her right leg and chest pocked by shrapnel wounds.

A surgeon at the hospital, Ayman Hamdan, said the young girl’s mother and brother died of massive bleeding. “They were dead when they arrived,” the physician said. “The rockets are designed to kill. They are very powerful, very lethal.”

The surgeon said his small hospital has treated nine patients who were seriously injured by Israeli airstrikes in the past two days. Eight other patients either died in surgery or arrived dead in the ambulance.

“We are not seeing wounded or dead fighters,” he said. “Most of these people look to me like civilians.”

Many Israelis want their military to do what it takes to stop the rocket fire from Gaza.

Miri Eisin, a military analyst and former deputy head of the Israel’s combat intelligence corps, said that while it is sad that civilians are sometimes killed, Israel has the right to hit its enemy Hamas where he lives, which is in dense urban areas.

“We have the right to protect our citizens,” Eisin said. “We do not put them in the line of fire.”

Yaniv Mizrachi runs a shwarma restaurant near city hall in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon, where air raid sirens have been sounding hourly. He defended the current military operation as the only way to restore a “normal life” to his city.

“This has been going on for years,” he said. “This time I hope the army sorts it out once and for all.”

Different sets of attackers in Benghazi?

Top military commanders say second strike showed clear military training

By Donna Cassata and Bradley Klapper The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Newly revealed testimony from top military commanders involved in the U.S. response to the Benghazi attacks suggests that the perpetrators of a second, dawn assault on a CIA complex probably were different from those who penetrated the U.S. diplomatic mission the evening before and set it ablaze, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and another American.

The second attack, which killed two security contractors, showed clear military training, retired Gen. Carter Ham told Congress in closed-door testimony released late Wednesday.

It probably was the work of a new team of militants, seizing on reports of violence at the diplomatic mission the night before and hitting the Americans while they were most vulnerable.

The testimony, which The Associated Press was able to read ahead of its release, could clarify for the first time the Sept. 11, 2012, events that have stirred bitter recriminations in the U.S., including Republicanled congressional investigations and campaign-season denunciations of the Obama administration, which made inaccurate statements about the attacks. The testimony underscores a key detail that sometimes has been lost in the debate: that the attacks were two distinct events over two days on two different buildings, perhaps by unrelated groups.

The U.S. government still has not fully characterized the first attack in which, according to Ham and eight other military officers, men who seemed familiar with the lightly protected diplomatic compound breached it and set it on fire, killing Stevens and communications specialist Sean Smith.

A disorganized mob of looters then overran the facility.

In testimony to two House panels earlier this year, the officers said that commanders didn’t have the information they needed to understand the nature of the attack, that they were unaware of the extent of the U.S. presence in Benghazi at the time and they were convinced erroneously for a time that they were facing a hostage crisis without the ability to move military assets into place that would be of any use.

The testimony reveals how little information the military had on which to base an urgent response.

Two House panels — the Armed Services and Oversight and Government Reform committees — conducted interviews with the nine officers on separate days from January to April.

Four Americans died in Benghazi, including Stevens. To this day, despite the investigations, it’s not clear if the violence resulted from a well-planned, multiphase military-type assault or from a loosely connected, escalating chain of events.

In their testimony, military officials expressed some uncertainty about the first attack, describing protests and looting in an assault that lasted

about 45 minutes.

The military attache to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli told Congress the first attack showed some advance planning. The Libyan police officer guarding the diplomatic compound fled as it began.

The defense attache, whose name wasn’t released, suggested the attackers “had something on the shelf” — an outline of a plan based on previously obtained information about the compound and its security measures, so they were ready to strike when the opportunity arose.

“They came in, and they had a sense of purpose, and I think it sometimes gets confused because you had looters and everyone else coming in,” he said. “It was less than kind of full, thought-out, methodical.”

Ham testified that the second attack, which killed security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty at the annex a mile from the diplomatic compound where the assault began the night before, showed clear military training. It was probably the work of a new team of militants, taking advantage after reports of violence at the first site and American vulnerability.

“Given the precision of the attack, it was a well-trained mortar crew, and in my estimation they probably had a welltrained observer,” said Ham, who headed the U.S. command in Africa. The second attack showed “a degree of sophistication and military training that is relatively unusual and certainly, I think, indicates that this was not a pickup team.

This was not a couple of guys who just found a mortar someplace.”

Ham said the nearly eighthour time lapse between the two attacks also seemed significant. “If the team [that launched the second attack] was already there, then why didn’t they shoot sooner?” he asked.

“I think it’s reasonable that a team came from outside of Benghazi,” he said of the second attack in testimony on April 9. Violent extremists saw an opportunity “and said, ‘Let’s get somebody there.’ ” He also acknowledged that the absence of American security personnel on the ground soon enough after the first attack “allowed sufficient time for the second attack to be organized and conducted.”

The attacks came as President Barack Obama was in a close re-election battle, campaigning in part on the contention that al-Qaida no longer posed a significant threat to the United States and that, blending the economy and the fight against terrorism, General Motors was alive but “Osama bin Laden is dead.” A terror attack on American assets could have damaged that argument.

The administration last month apprehended its first suspect, Ahmed Abu Khattala, and brought him to the United States to stand trial on terrorism charges.

The Justice Department maintains in court documents that Abu Khattala was involved in both attacks. Abu Khattala’s lawyer says the government has failed to show that he was connected to either one.

WASHINGTON — In a tough race for re-election, Colorado Democratic Sen. Mark Udall chose the benefit of President Barack Obama’s fundraising prowess Wednesday over the pleasure of his company.

He could have had both.

But he opted to work in Washington while the president, whose poll ratings hover around 40 percent in Colorado, headlined a fundraiser on his behalf in Denver.

Udall “is not an ideologue.

Doesn’t agree with me on everything. But he believes in the core idea that should be what Democrats are all about: the idea that if you work hard, you should be able to make it,” Obama told his audience.

The beneficiary of the event devoted his day to official duties in Washington that dovetailed with home-state politics and his campaign. “It wasn’t a political decision,” said campaign spokesman Chris Harris, an assertion that Republicans pointedly disputed as events produced a political back-and-forth so vigorous that it would be more typical of a day late in the campaign rather than one in early July.

Udall “has supported the Obama agenda an eye-popping 99 percent of the time,” said the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

In a race against an opponent who opposes abortion rights, Udall, who is the cousin of New Mexico Sen. Tom Udall, participated in a news conference unveiling legislation to counter a recent Supreme Court ruling that restricted access to contraceptives under the nation’s health care law.

Representing a state where the population is 20 percent Hispanic, he voted to confirm Julian Castro as the new secretary of housing and urban development. His office also noted the agency has been instrumental in helping with recovery from last year’s flood damage in the state, and issued a statement saying the senator has “fought hard” for federal disaster aid.

Spokesman Mike Saccone also said Udall “is continuing his work on the bipartisan Sportsmen’s Act, which includes his proposal to expand access to public shooting ranges.” It was unclear precisely what he was doing, though, since the bill appears headed for gridlock.

It was unclear what Udall was doing at the moment

Obama stepped before supporters at the fundraiser in a Denver hotel near the football stadium where he accepted his party’s presidential nomination in 2008.

In his remarks, Obama did not refer to Udall’s decision to spend the day in Washington.

He cast the lawmaker’s re-election as crucial to his second-term priorities while crediting him with a measure of political independence, an apparent bow to independent and other voters who may disagree with the president.

“Mark Udall is a serious person who is trying to do the right thing,” he said.

Even before Obama spoke, the campaign back-and-forth scarcely paused in a race that is touted as one of the country’s tightest this year, and one that will help determine if Democrats can hold their shaky Senate majority.

Republicans eagerly drew attention to Udall’s absence from his own fundraiser, and noted Obama’s lagging approval ratings in the state.

“Actions speak louder than words. It’s clear that the president is beyond toxic, and Mark Udall’s campaign is running scared,” was the diagnosis from the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Udall’s November oppo-

Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., left, was in Washington on Wednesday as President Barack Obama campaigned for him in Colorado, which Republicans say was a result of the president’s lagging approval ratings in the state. nent, Republican Rep. Cory Gardner, also weighed in, releasing a Web video that shows the senator a few days before the 2008 presidential election speaking enthusiastically about the prospect of a Obama presidency.

“Let me utter two really sweet words. President Obama,” he said at the time, drawing out the president’s name for emphasis.

Not to be outdone, Udall’s campaign distributed an email noting that a recent book reported Gardner had met with Republican strategist Karl Rove during last year’s partial government shutdown.

The effect was to link the Republican to a former Bush administration official who is unpopular with Democratic voters, and with the interruption in federal services that sent Republican poll numbers plummeting last fall.

NUCLEAR MISSILE DUTY

ë It weighs on your mindí Missileer has essential job that was overlooked until recent scandals exposed it

By Robert Burns

The Associated Press

BERTHOLD, N.D. — As a nuclear missileer with his finger on the trigger of the world’s most powerful weapon, Air Force 1st Lt. Andy Parthum faces pressures few others know. He spends his workday awaiting an order he hopes never arrives: to launch nuclear-tipped missiles capable of killing millions and changing the course of history.

Parthum is one of 90 young airmen who carry out their mission not in the air but in a hole in the ground.

Across the northern tier of the U.S., pairs of missileers sit at consoles inside bomb-proof capsules 60 feet underground and linked to groups of Minuteman 3 missiles, a nuclear-armed weapon whose first generation President John F. Kennedy dubbed an “Ace in the Hole.”

The missileers’ mission was born in the early years of the Cold War, when the threat of nuclear Armageddon was ever-present, yet it lives on despite the emergence of new threats like global terrorism and cyberattack and the shrinking of defense budgets.

The missileers have never engaged in combat, although the Air Force calls them combat crew members. Still, no one can exclude the possibility, remote as it may be, that one day a president will deliver the gut-wrenching order that would compel a missileer to unleash a nuclear hell that would alter world history.

“Absolutely, it weighs on your mind,” Parthum, 25, said on a recent afternoon at Juliet-01, a Minuteman 3 missile launch site on a small patch of prairie 9 miles from the village of Berthold and about 25 miles west of Minot Air Force Base, whose 91st Missile Wing controls 150 of the nation’s 450 Minuteman missiles.

It may come as a surprise to some that the Air Force still operates intercontinental ballistic missiles, or ICBMs. And therein lies part of the problem for missileers, who feel underappreciated in a military that has long since shifted its main focus.

Parthum, however, says he takes pride in his role and accepts its importance. “It’s something that’s a little abstract, so that could be hard for people, I can see that,” he said. “But once you understand that you’re providing the backbone, the bedrock for United States nuclear deterrence, then it’s a lot easier to appreciate, I think.”

Parthum, a native of Centreville, Va., and his crewmate, 23-year-old 2nd Lt. Oliver Parsons of Shawnee, Kan., showed visitors around the small launch control center where they were several hours into a 24-hour watch over a group of 10 missiles.

It’s a sometimes tedious duty the Air Force calls “standing alert.” Some say their biggest challenge is staying alert.

Missileers, typically 22- to 27-year-old lieutenants and captains, work in pairs, with a relief crew arriving every 24 hours.

A missileer generally does two “alerts” a week. It was Parthum’s 118th. (He keeps track.)

It’s not hard to see why some mis-

Air Force 1st Lt. Andy Parthum waits for his co-worker, 2nd Lt. Oliver Parsons, to check identities of visitors before entering the underground control room where they work a 24-hour shift at an ICBM launch control facility near Minot, N.D., on the Minot Air Force Base. PHOTOS BY CHARLIE RIEDEL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The warhead-containing nose cone of an inert Minuteman 3 missile is seen in a training launch tube at Minot Air Force Base. The base is tasked with maintaining 150 of the nuclear-tipped missiles spread out across the North Dakota countryside.

sileers find it hard to adjust to life under the prairie. An 8-ton blast door seals their launch control center from a potential incoming nuclear detonation. Twice last year, launch officers were disciplined after admitting they left the blast door open while a crewmate was asleep — a security violation. That and other lapses in discipline, training and leadership were documented by The Associated Press over the past year, prompting Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to declare that “something is wrong.”

The ICBM launch control center is actually two separate structures. An outer protective shell is made of reinforced concrete lined with a steel plate. A smaller, box-like enclosure where the missileers work, eat and sleep, is suspended inside the protective shell by pneumatic cylinders called “shock isolators” attached to the shell’s ceiling by heavy chains; the isolators are designed to keep the space

stable in the event of a nuclear blast.

These underground command posts have changed relatively little since they were built in the early 1960s, although the Air Force recently committed to refurbishing them to make a missileer’s life a bit easier. Juliet-01, the command post an AP reporting team was permitted to visit, had just been repainted and spruced up to remove corrosion caused by water intrusion, giving it what one officer called “that new car smell.”

The launch center is accessible only from an above-ground building that resembles a small ranch-style home. An access shaft descends from a vestibule inside the building, which is controlled by a security team and surrounded by alarms and a chain-link fence.

The U.S. has never fired an ICBM, other than for flight testing. Their stated purpose is to help deter nuclear war by convincing a potential attacker that it would have more to lose than to gain.

Upward of two-thirds of missileers were “volunteered” for the job after gaining their officer commission. Once they complete basic ICBM training at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, they are sent on four-year tours to one of three missile bases: Minot, Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, or F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming.

The responsibility is enormous, the cost of mistakes potentially colossal, ranging from environmental damage to inadvertently triggering a nuclear war.

That is why the Air Force has longestablished rules, procedures and backup safety systems to minimize the possibility of a major error. Over time, with the passing of the Cold War, the Air Force lost focus on its nuclear mission.

It also lost a good deal of what remained of the allure of serving as a missileer.

“Even during the Cold War while facing down the Soviets, it could be difficult to convince bright young airmen that what they were doing was worthwhile,” Robert W. Stanley II wrote in a research paper in 2011 before becoming vice commander of the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom.

Last year he was promoted to commander there but resigned in March 2014 amid a scandal over exam cheating among his missileers.

Man admits stealing dinosaur footprint The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — A 35-year-old Moab man accused of stealing a fossilized dinosaur footprint admitted in federal court Wednesday to stealing the fossil and throwing it in the Colorado River.

In exchange for Jared Ehlers pleading guilty to one count of removing a paleontological resource, federal prosecutors agreed to drop three others charges of theft and damage to government property.

The agreement calls for Ehlers to serve one year of probation with six months under house arrest. It also requires him to pay $15,000 in restitution.

That sentence could be approved or changed by a fed-

eral judge when Ehlers is sentenced on Oct. 20.

Ehlers’ attorney, Tara Isaacson, said in federal court in Salt Lake City on Wednesday afternoon that her client was remorseful and admits “he made a terrible decision.”

Isaacson did not return messages from The Associated Press seeking additional comment. She has previously said Ehlers hoped to keep the footprint and didn’t realize the seriousness of his actions.

Prosecutors say Ehlers pried a piece of sandstone with a three-toed ancient dinosaur track from the Hell’s Revenge jeep trail in the Sand Flats Recreation Area near Moab in eastern Utah on Feb. 17. He got rid of the footprint on March 3, prosecutors alleged.

Human Services asks AG to again examine nonprofit for $1M fraud

By Uriel J. Garcia

Two months after a lengthy investigation by the New Mexico Attorney Generalí s Office cleared a Santa Fe≠ based nonprofit of fraud, the probe has been reopened at the request of the state Human Services Department.

Despite the earlier finding by the attorney general, Human Services maintains there is evidence of more than $1 million in Medicaid billing fraud by Easter Seals El Mirador, one of 15 New Mexico behavioral health providers ousted last year by Gov. Susana Mar≠ tinezí s administration and replaced by five Arizona firms.

Patsy Romero, chief operations officer of Eas≠ ter Seals El Mirador, said she was shocked by the renewed investigation and questioned whether the request was motivated by her organizationí s criticism of the stateí s spending on a transition to the Arizona providers. ì The very first time this all happened, you feel like youí ve been raped, like youí re a victim, like somebody beat you up and assassinated you,î she said. ì Then they turn around and do it all over again. Are they retaliating because weí ve been vocal about the way theyí ve paid the Arizona providers?î Executives at El Mirador have been among the lead≠ ing critics of $24 million in state spending on the pro≠ vider transition, during which the department autho≠ rized payments to the Arizona firms of $200 to $300 per hour for waiting in airports, making employee security badges and janitorial and grounds services, among other things.

Human Services Department spokesman Matt Ken≠ nicott said the original investigation that cleared El Mirador was referred back to the Attorney Generalí s Office and accepted for further review based on the departmentí s belief that investigators used an incor≠ rect standard in their first review of the charityí s bill≠ ing. ì The initial findings of the AGí s Office in the Easter Seals case showed significant overpayment and likely fraud, which was later reduced only after an incor≠ rect standard for approval of Medicaid billing was applied,î Kennicott said.

Phil Sisneros, a spokesman for the Attorney Gen≠ eralí s Office, said the investigation was accepted for further review with narrow parameters. ì HSD had an issue with one of our findings and brought their deputy in the behavioral health division in to talk to us,î Sisneros said. ì They asked that we talk to one more witness to determine what knowl≠ edge Easter Seals had about the manner in which they had been billing Ö and so we agreed to follow up on that.î Political undertones surround the behavioral health

T

he family of a man who was killed in an alleged drunken≠ driving crash in June rallied outside the Roundhouse on Wednesday, demanding that the DWI suspect be returned to jail until he can stand trial.

Police say that on June 19, Jus≠ tin Romero, 26, of El Rito crashed his 1997 Ford pickup into a 2004 Pontiac driven by Leo Gurule, 23, a native of EspaÒ ola who had been living in Pecos, Texas. The crash killed Gurule and his pas≠ senger, Carlos Archuleta, 45, of Santa Cruz.

Romero resigned from his job as a Rio Arriba County jail guard after the accident and was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide and obstruct≠ ing an officer. He was released on house arrest June 23, accord≠ ing to online court records.

According to a search warrant, a state police officer found a CVS receipt showing the purchase of an 18≠ pack of Coors Light beer, 17 Coors Light beer cans and nine Miller beer cans in Rome≠ roí s truck after the crash. Blood≠ alcohol results for Romero were still pending as of Wednesday.

Romeroí s attorney, Dan Cron, said it was appropriate for the judge to put his client on house arrest, with an alcohol≠ monitor≠ ing device, because Romero is not a flight risk and is not consid≠ ered a danger to the community.

Cron said it is not unusual for suspects in such cases to be on house arrest pending trial.

The details of the crash are still unclear.

Leo Guruleí s uncle, John Gurule, said Leo had been visit≠ ing from Pecos, Texas, and the family had prepared for a barbe≠ cue at John Guruleí s home near Abiqui˙ .

Leo Gurule and Archuleta had left the party to pick up ice, John Gurule said, explaining that he had intended to go with them, but they did not wait for him.

State weighs individual insurance portal Health exchange board getting update

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

The board of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange will hear a progress report Fri≠ day that could set the stage for whether the state begins manag≠ ing sales of individual insurance plans through its online portal, or whether it will continue to rely on the troubled federal mar≠ ketplace.

During the first open enroll≠

ment period for health plans under the Affordable Care Act, New Mexico managed the sale of group plans through its health≠ insurance exchange, while applicants for individual coverage were redirected to the federal site, which was plagued with technical problems during the rollout of Obamacare.

Administrators of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange would prefer to take over the individual insurance marketplace for the state in time for the second 90≠ day open enrollment period that

begins Nov. 15, according to Dr. J.R. Damron, chairman of the exchangeí s board. However, the state must demonstrate to the federal government by July 31 that important elements of the state takeover are in place, such as its computerized administra≠ tion system and its call center. ì It is the preference of the board, it is the preference of the governor and it is the preference the Legislature that we have a state≠ based exchange,î Damron said. ì Ití s also the preference that it be a successful state≠ based exchange.î

Damron said he called the special meeting for 1 p.m. Friday at the Sheraton Uptown, 2600 Louisiana Blvd. NE in Albu≠ querque, to update the board on the exchangeí s progress toward meeting the goals necessary to take over the individual market≠ place from the federal govern≠ ment. ì At this point,î Damron said, ì Ií m not sure which way ití s going to go.î Contact Patrick Malone at 9863017 or pmalone@sfnewmexican. com.

Zozobra burning will be live≠ streamed Kiwanis Club reverses course, will allow Internet feed

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

The group that organizes the annual burn≠ ing of Zozobra said it has reversed its decision to ban Internet streaming of the event.

Ray Sandoval, Zozobra event chairman for the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, said in a news release Wednesday that the burning of Old Man Gloom would be live≠ streamed on san≠ tafe.com, a local news site owned by media company Hutton Broadcasting. The burning also will be broadcast on TV. The Kiwanis Club hosts the annual burning of the 50≠ foot≠ tall effigy in Fort Marcy Ballpark, now in its 90th year.

That decision stands in contrast to Sando≠ valí s decisioní s last year to ban online stream≠ ing of the event while still allowing the TV broadcast. That choice, Sandoval said at the time, was an attempt to get everyone to cel≠ ebrate the event together and ì in person.î ì There is no substitute for experiencing Zozobra in person,î Sandoval said in a state≠ ment. ì But we do realize that just because

many of our family and friends cannot make the show, they should not be excluded from the celebration.î Since Sandoval took control of the event nearly two years ago, Zozobra has seen a multitude of changes.

The community celebrated many of the

revisions, such as lowering ticket prices from a record high of $20 to $10.

Most recently, Sandoval rescheduled the event from the Thursday before the start of the Fiesta de Santa Fe in mid≠ September, when it had been held for many years, to the Friday in August preceding Labor Day.

N.M. film office luring game, app developers

By Jeri Clausing

The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE ó The film industry is thriving in New Mexico, and the state hopes to expand the momentum by luring gaming and app developers, the director of the state film office said Wednesday.

Nick Maniatis told the Legislatureí s Economic and Rural Development Committee that he is trying to set up a private fund that would help create an attractive environment for the other booming media industries, which are eligible for the same rebate incentives as television shows and movies.

The stateí s film industry slumped after Republican Gov. Susana Martinez took office in 2011 and tried to cut the program that provides 25 percent rebates for most direct in≠ state expenditures for produc≠ tions filmed here. But the state is now seeing a steady uptick, Maniatis said.

He said that since the state passed its so≠ called ì Breaking Badî bill last year to increase the rebates for television shows to 30 percent, the number of series being filmed in New Mexico has grown from two to five. Two more potential shows are on the horizon.

The state has also been attracting a steady stream of films.

Asked about the future potential for the movie industry, Maniatis said, ì The skyí s the limit.î The rest of the stateí s economic news is not as rosy.

Despite an oil boom in southeastern New Mexico and growth along the Mexico border, the state continues to lose jobs.

Economic Development Secretary Jon Barela said private≠ sector businesses are actually growing at a rate of about 2 percent, but the loss of federal jobs keeps New Mexico near the bottom of national lists that tally job growth.

Key goals, he said, are diversifying the stateí s econ≠ omy and getting better at helping to transfer innova≠ tions from Sandia and Los Alamos national laborato≠ ries into new businesses in the state. ì Let me be clear,î he said. ì Weí ve got a long way to go. The road to recovery is not going to be a short one.î

Calif. water wasters may face fine The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. ó Wasting water outdoors amid the stateí s drought will begin hitting Californians in the wal≠ let under get≠ tough restrictions being proposed by state regula≠ tors, with fines of up to $500 a day for overwatering front lawns or washing a car without a nozzle on the hose.

The State Water Resources Control Board next week is scheduled to consider draft emergency regulations made

public Tuesday. They are intended to put teeth into con≠ servation efforts that so far have produced disappointing results.

Most of the regulations to be considered by the board are aimed at reducing outdoor water use in cities and towns, which the board said accounts in some areas for more than half of residentsí daily water use.

The regulations would pro≠ hibit overwatering of lawns and landscaping that causes runoff onto sidewalks or streets, washing sidewalks, driveways

and other hard surfaces, using a hose to wash a vehicle unless the hose has a shut≠ off nozzle and using drinking water in a fountain or decorative water feature unless it is recirculated.

Violations would be punish≠ able by fines of up to $500 a day, and tickets could be written by any public employee empow≠ ered to enforce laws. While $500 is the daily maximum, most cities are likely to have a sliding scale that starts with a warning and builds for repeat violations.

Chavez was on probation on a conviction for transporting people illegally in the United States. The conviction resulted from a 2010 arrest in Luna County, Levy said Tuesday.

Court records state that Chavez had a pending criminal case in which he was charged with vehicular homicide.

Interstate 25 in February 2013 in Truth or Consequences.

The teen was the passenger in a vehicle driven by her aunt, who was suspected of being drunk. Olsení s aunt was not arrested in the case because a field sobriety test was never conducted, according to a March report by KRQE≠ TV.

Request: AG only found $34K in errors Continued from Page A-7 issue, because the provider switch was ordered by the administration of Republican Martinez and has been second≠ guessed by the findings of Attorney General Gary Kingí s office. King is the Democratic nominee challenging Martinez in the governorí s race.

The stage was set for the behavioral health shake≠ up in fall 2012, when Optum Health, the contractor that oversees managed care in the state, reported to Human Services that it suspected providers of committing fraud. In February 2013, the private firm Public Consulting Group was hired to conduct an audit, and in June of last year, the audit returned findings of up to $36 million in Medicaid billing fraud by the providers.

In the background, the state had been forging relationships with Arizona providers, one of which billed the state for work done in the five months preced≠ ing the audit report. Kennicott has said that work was neces≠ sary to assure a seamless transi≠ tion if the audit turned up fraud.

Investigations by the Attor≠ ney Generalí s Office had cleared two providers ó Easter Seals El Mirador and the Coun≠ seling Center of Alamogordo, which has since gone out of business. Instead of the $850,870 in fraud that Public Consulting Group reported for El Mirador, the attorney generalí s investiga≠ tion found just $34,000 in billing discrepancies over a three≠ year span that included $30 million in billing.

Kennicott said if the method of tracking billing that the Human Services Department

recommends is employed, the attorney generalí s new probe could reveal large≠ scale over≠ billing and possible fraud.

Unlike the case of El Mirador, the Human Services Depart≠ ment accepted the attorney generalí s findings that cleared the Counseling Center of fraud.

Now, the Counseling Center is challenging the state over funds that were withheld from it dur≠ ing the shake≠ up.

Romero said she finds it sus≠ picious that Human Services accepted the findings for the Counseling Center but has

asked the Attorney Generalí s Office to take a second look at El Mirador. She said she doubts the outcome will stray from the original investigationí s findings that cleared her organization. ì In the attorney generalí s first investigation, they left no stone unturned,î she said. ì That looked at our organization com≠ prehensively, all of our services.

They took over 6,000 docu≠ ments. They spent nine months on that review. So to come back with any questions that they didní t do a thorough job just surprises me.î

understand that this is not just how a dog looks, it’s a matter of health and many cases, life and death. In a true sense, dogs will “eat themselves to death.”

They will continue to eat and gain weight, causing heart and kidney disease, arthritis and metabolic obesity, where fat tends to congregate around organs in the body, diminishing their function.

Studies have shown that obese dogs have reduced life expectancy and mobility.

Overweight dogs are basically in a constant state of inflammation, predisposing them to more severe osteoarthritis and chronic diseases.

It is now about 30 minutes before dinner time and Tank is sitting in front of me barking.

Seriously? As if I could forget to feed him?

So what are we to do? First, we have to admit to ourselves that we have a problem, and the problem is we feed them too much and exercise them too little.

Sue makes the point, “Keeping your animals fit means reducing the overall intake and increasing activity.”

Murt adds that it’s not what we feed them, but how much.

His first advice is to eliminate or reduce treats.

I must have whispered this last line out loud, because Tank began catastrophically whining at the mere thought of no treats.

Yet if we want our dogs coyote-thin, we need to reduce the amount of food they get, including meals, treats, food they mooch from others and food they steal (Tank often steals loaves of bread. We had a German shepherd steal the family Thanksgiving turkey from the kitchen counter).

Next, we need to get ’em out and exercising. Fortunately for me, Tank loves to walk. He would like to walk three times a day, with naps in between, a perfect dog’s life, but they are not going to do it by themselves.

Damn! Tank heard me whisper the word that we usually just spell: Walk.

Now he has the leash in his mouth and he’s running up and down the hall.

Maybe he knows that he’s a little chubby and he wants to exercise. Deep down, I think he wants to discover his inner coyote.

PET PIC REST AFTER WORKOUT

Family calls 911 on berserk cat DELAND, Fla. — A 4-yearold Russian blue cat named Kush is being quarantined after apparently going berserk inside a central Florida home, prompting its owners to call 911.

Police say the feline scratched owners Teresa and James Gregory on their arms and legs Saturday, causing the couple to retreat to a bedroom, where they called 911.

The Daytona Beach NewsJournal reports Teresa Gregory told the dispatcher she had mistakenly stepped on the cat’s tail earlier in the day and the cat went after her husband. They locked Kush in the bedroom for most of the day. When they finally opened the door, Kush

Threatened chicken delays spaceflight plan The Associated Press

MIDLAND, Texas — The mating habits of a threatened species of chicken have postponed a West Texas city’s plans for spaceflight.

The Midland ReporterTelegram reports the city is awaiting clearance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a Federal Aviation Administration spaceport license.

Midland International Airport has been working to become the first in the nation to offer commercial and spaceflight

from its runways.

The lesser prairie-chicken was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in March, prompting the city to apply for an addendum to its service application.

The service is worried that sonic booms would disrupt the bird’s early morning mating habits. City officials maintain the sounds won’t harm the chickens.

The FAA has until mid-September to issue the spaceport license, a process that’s taken nearly two years.

Police notes The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office took the following reports: u Someone broke into a house Tuesday on Old Callejon Road in the Nambé area, but nothing was reported stolen. u Jonathan Walker, 23, of Santa Fe was arrested on charges of felony larceny and criminal trespass after deputies received a report of a burglary in progress in the 700 block of West Alameda Street.

The Santa Fe Police Department took the following reports: u Edwin Madrid, 18, of Cerrillos was arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance, being a minor under the influence and resisting or evading an officer. The arrest came after someone reported a suspicious person in the 4400 block of San Ignacio Road at 3:50 p.m. Tuesday. u A female suspect tried to hit another woman with a vehicle at about 12 a.m. Monday in the 2500 block of Cerril-

los Road. u A thief stole a TV and prescription pills between noon and 6 p.m. Monday in the 2100 block of Foothills Road. u A 2005 silver Cadillac Escalade was stolen between 9 a.m. July 3 and 9 a.m. Tuesday in the 1100 block of Calle Atajo. The victim said his family returned from an out-oftown trip Tuesday and discovered the vehicle was missing.

DWI arrest u Aaron Olmsted, 27, of Santa Fe was arrested in the 3000 block of Cerrillos Road at 12:47 a.m. Tuesday on charges of DWI, having a suspended identification, having no insurance and having an expired registration. u Teresa Sarmiento, 48, of Santa Fe was arrested Tuesday on charges of aggravated DWI and having a suspended license after deputies found her asleep behind the steering wheel of a car that was blocking traffic at the intersection of Morning Drive and Morning Street.

State game officials are seeking information about poachers who killed three adult female mule deer near Carrizozo in late June.

The does probably had fawns that were too young to take care of themselves and

likely died, said New Mexico Department of Game and Fish official Robert Griego.

The deer carcasses were found June 27 off of Forest Road 441, also known as O-BarO Road in the Lincoln National Forest. The does were not field dressed and the meat was left to rot.

Anyone with information is urged to call Operation Game Thief, a wildlife tip hotline, at 800-432-GAME (4263) or Ruidoso District Wildlife Officer Mark Holguin at 505-670-7335. Callers may remain anonymous. Operation Game Thief is offering a $500 reward.

Funeral services and memorials ESTRELLA DESTINA BEVITA RODRIGUEZ-MERIDA, "STAR" Stay True Always Real

An angel lent us a Star on November 15, 1997, and came back for her on July 2, 2014. Star is survived by love. She had many mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, brother, sisters, aunties, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Everyone was her family. Star was a Love Life Soldier, fighting for what she believed and for the ones she loves. She left us early only because in her physical body she could not protect everyone at the same time. In what appears to be a selfish act, was really a selfless act of love. Star loved hard. And now she is in peace and collecting all her soldiers, saving their lives through the love of Jesus Christ. Services for Estrella will be held at 10:00 am, Friday, July 11, 2014 at Sagebrush Community Church, 6440 Coors Boulevard NW, Albuquerque, NM. Services held in Santa Fe will be announced at a later time.

GAYLE L. LEWIS 10 JULY 1956 - 29 MAY 2014 Gayle Lynn Lewis passed from this life in the early morning of Thursday 29 May 2014 just a few weeks shy of beginning her 59th year. She leaves behind a legacy of curiosity, beauty, intelligence, humor, spirituality and grace bequeathed to her three children Lance 26, Hunter 23 and Araceli 14 of whom she was fiercely proud. Her husband of 29 years, Bruce Lewis of Nambe, NM, sisters Toni Hiley of Vienna, VA, Kari Young of Albuquerque, NM, mother Katherine Young of Albuquerque, niece Lee Sturdevant, nephew Trey Sturdevant, brothers-inlaw Dave Hiley and Dave Sturdevant, her special mother Bernice Young and her extensive family of friends miss her terribly. Her father, LeRoy A. Young, preceded her in death.

Gayle was born at Nellis AFB, Nevada on 10 July 1956, the second of three girls born to Roy and Kay Young. Her formative years were those typical of a military family: frequent relocations, different schools and exotic adventures in foreign locales like the Philippines, where she rode a water buffalo, chased giant water beetles, and filled her formative memory bag with unforgettable experiences. After graduation from Albuquerque’s Freedom High School, she attended the University of New Mexico. Throughout her childhood and school, Gayle, like her two sisters, studied music with the loving encouragement of mom and dad.

With a college degree under her belt, Gayle began an early career in database management, first at Sandia Laboratory and then at Los Alamos Labs. The 1995 Los Alamos lab reduction-inforce sent her into a new field of work as office manager for local Santa Fe wine importer Pierre Seronde. From there Gayle moved to the not-for profit world as a long time employee at The Hospice Thrift Store.

Consistent through her varied work life was a profound love of family and friends. She conveyed to her children and her many piano students her life-long love of classical music. She expressed her own artistry in long hours spent at her baby grand piano, and in dancing, crocheting, painting, and writing. The bookends of her life in the New Mexico outdoors included skiing the sunlit mountain slopes during winter and walking the cool arroyo shadows during summer. She delighted in all things great and small - from gathering the blue eggs laid by her Araucana hens and tending the many dogs, cats, geese, a goat and potbelly pig that shared the family abode in Nambe over the years. She reached into the universe to absorb the spiritual lessons of Eastern religions.

Gayle breathed in all the beauty this world has to offer and then offered it to others. She spent the past three decades working very hard to lead a physically and spiritually healthful life. While her physical being may have left us, those whose lives she touched will always feel her generous spirit close by. Donations in Gayle Lewis’s name may be made to the charity of your choice.

The Obama administration has sought to require almost all employers that offer health insurance to cover contraceptives. The court’s majority ruled that Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. and similar companies could refuse to cover contraceptives to which they have religious objections.

Many liberals say that this ruling was flawed because the Religious Freedom Restoration Act — the 1993 law the case turned on — doesn’t protect for-profit corporations. Yet only two of the justices took that view; the other two dissenters refused to endorse it.

And not one of the justices chose to question the relevant beliefs of Hobby Lobby’s owners: that the contraceptives to which they object can cause human embryos to die. Unlike many liberal commentators, all the justices grasped that whether the owners’ objection has a strong evidentiary basis — which it does — is irrelevant to their legal claim.

A government that respects religious liberty doesn’t subject religious claims to such scrutiny. When the Volstead Act exempted communion wine from Prohibition, lawmakers didn’t inquire about whether it really became the blood of Jesus.

Reading the dissenters would also keep people from misunderstanding the court’s subsequent ruling on Wheaton College, which has led to a similar liberal freak-out. The school wasn’t subject to the same contraceptive mandate as Hobby Lobby. Instead, it qualified for what the White House calls an “accommoda-

T tion”: It would merely have to sign a form authorizing others to provide the contraceptive coverage.

The evangelical school’s representatives objected, saying that signing the form would itself violate their religious beliefs. On Thursday, the court said that Wheaton didn’t have to sign the form until its case had been heard in court.

Three of the dissenting justices — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor — accused the majority of going back on its word.

Supposedly the majority had blessed the accommodation in the Hobby Lobby case and was now showing “disregard” for its own new precedent.

Liberal commentators went nuts. Kevin Drum at Mother Jones said the court’s behavior was “shameful” because “the obvious implication” of the Hobby Lobby case was that the accommodation was OK. Dahlia Lithwick and Sonja West, writing in Slate, attacked the court for declaring the accommodation

“unconstitutional.”

The court did no such thing. It didn’t even declare the accommodation illegal. It lifted the requirement temporarily while litigation proceeds. That it did so should be no surprise: The majority opinion in the Hobby Lobby case specifically declared that it wasn’t deciding whether the accommodation was legal, noting that other lawsuits on that issue were before the court and that another organization, Little Sisters of the Poor, had been told it didn’t have to sign the form until these lawsuits are settled.

All of the dissenting justices were aware of this fact: They criticized the majority opinion for being “noncommittal” instead of embracing the accommodation. The confusion in the commentariat arises because of a misreading of the majority’s analysis.

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act says that when the government imposes a substantial burden on the exercise of religion, it has to show that it

has used the least burdensome means possible. The majority relied on the administration’s account that the accommodation is less burdensome than the full-blown mandate, and it said the mandate was therefore illegal.

To review: The court majority, in the Hobby Lobby case, declined to rule on whether the accommodation is compatible with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and put off consideration of that issue for another case.

In its Wheaton order, it again declined to rule on the legality of the accommodation while it awaits a full review. There is no inconsistency, no “retreat” (as Ginsburg, Kagan and Sotomayor put it).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks for behavioral health coverage

T

hanks to Patrick Malone’s reporting we know the truth that I, my behavioral health colleagues and concerned legislators have long suspected. Gov. Susana Martinez and accomplices pre-arranged to take down the New Mexico behavioral health infrastructure to irreparably damage agencies, patients and staff, and they spent millions when our agencies are perpetually underfunded and staff ridiculously underpaid. The question is, who benefited, or perhaps, more bluntly, who was on the take: Optum (already fined for its failure to pay providers), the governor or other unknown parties? This revelation is no surprise, but truly scandalous. Where does that accusation of fraud really belong? Where is Attorney General Gary King in all of this as he continues to drag his feet?

HOA law useless I agree with Marcia Kaplan (My View “HOA law is useless,” June 8) that without some agency of oversight, the new law to regulate homeowner associations is indeed useless. That’s why the election and retention of qualified, honest and committed board members is critical.

What happened July 4?

In the Generation Next “Speak Out” feature of The Santa Fe New Mexican on July 4, seven young people responded to the question “What happened on July 4, 1776?” Five of the seven gave answers that would have flunked in my classroom.

The interesting point is that all seven were students in the types of private, charter and similarly exclusive schools that affluent parents seek out in order to “save” their youngsters from the public schools that conservatives delight in declaring to be failing. I would be happy to bet that a cross section of New Mexico’s public school students would have done far better in answering this question.

Ditch Redflex Over the past few months, there have been several letters to The Santa Fe New Mexican about photo vans. None was in favor. These letters pointed out most of the major flaws in this approach to traffic control. Citing news articles about corporate bribery, unwillingness to lengthen yellow light signals, liabilities facing municipalities (Albuquerque, etc.) with overzealous Redflex contracts and so on, these letters and other types of objection have apparently fallen on deaf ears in the City Different.

As repeatedly noted in public comments, the primary motive for speed vans appears to be easy revenue. Who benefits from the relatively small part of the $100plus fine the city gets from Redflex?

Santa Fe should follow the lead of numerous other municipalities and ditch Redflex. Stop turning over government services to private corporations.

he evolving nature of the International Folk Art Market/Santa Fe has been a joy to behold.

Consider these numbers: Eleven years, 690 artists from 86 countries. More than 1 million people impacted. Sales by artists totaling more than $18 million, with 90 percent of those sales going home with the artists.

It starts all over again tonight with the Santa Fe Railyard Community Celebration. Beginning at 5 p.m. with demonstrations by artists and continuing with musical performances and the quintessential market moment — the procession of artists from around the world — then concluding with even more music, the community celebration kicks off the market weekend in grand style.

On Friday, there is an opening market party (sold out) before a weekend of cultural exchange as the market proper begins. All events other than the Railyard party take place on Museum Hill. Organizers are urging people to buy tickets online ahead of time — the address is www.folk artalliance.org — and to remember, there is no public parking on Museum Hill. Shuttles will operate all day to ferry folks to market from the South Capitol and PERA parking lots (all the details are in The New Mexican’s International Folk Art Market magazine, available in racks around Santa Fe and at the newspaper office, 202 E. Marcy St. There’s an online version, too, at www.santafenewmexican.com).

People who ride their bicycles can enjoy valet parking.

As market enthusiasts put it so well, the event offers visitors the opportunity to see the world in Santa Fe. Every purchase helps artists support their families and preserve what otherwise might be vanishing cultures. It’s person-toperson economic development.

Enjoy the market, meet the artists and drink in the sights and sounds of a different world. Standing in the midst of the market, with the sounds of Colombian music floating above the market buzz, it’s as if you are not in Santa Fe anymore. The International Folk Art Market has transported you to another part of the globe.

Welcome back, world! Santa Fe is glad to be your host.

On the ball

he Santa Fe Police Department deserves credit for smart detecting.

A suspected armed robber is behind bars because an officer — already busy arresting a shoplifter at WalMart last Saturday — recognized the man walking into the local Supercenter. The officer had seen surveillance tape of the suspect rummaging through a stolen purse. (Police have not released the officer’s name.)

The officer had his hands full but called for backup and also alerted in-store security. When help arrived, the suspect was caught in the act of shoplifting. He later admitted to several recent armed robberies, including one of a teenage girl last week. Let’s hope that District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco throws the book at the man, identified as 42-year-old Andrew Valencia. Should he be found guilty, Valencia deserves to be put away for a long, long time. His long criminal record is disturbing.

There would be no chance for justice without an officer on the ball, and without a department that was sharing information and making sure all officers wknew who to watch out for. Good work!

The past 100 years From the Santa Fe New Mexican: July 10, 1914: The first work in the task of installing the $50,000 worth of improvements by the Mountain States Telephone company began on Palace Avenue today when workmen started digging holes and setting up poles.

The new poles are extra large ones and are being set half way into the narrow sidewalk — it being necessary to tear up not only the concrete gutters but also large sections of the sidewalk.

July 10, 1964: The long-awaited citizens’ lawsuit seeking return of 11 state agency offices from Albuquerque to Santa Fe was filed in the New Mexico Supreme court today.

Groundbreaking for the new Albuquerque building in which the state has agreed to rent space for some of the offices is scheduled Monday. Petition for an alternative writ of mandamus commanding Gov. Jack Campbell and officials of the 11 agencies and boards to return the offices to Santa Fe or show cause why they won’t was prepared by attorney Fred C. Hannahs of Santa Fe.

Defending champion drops out in Stage 5

By Jamey Keaten

The Associated Press

ARENBERG, France ó An injured wrist was just too much for Tour de France champion Chris Froome, in one of the most memorable and crash≠ marred stages in recent race history.

The Kenyan≠ born Briton ended his repeat bid Wednesday, dropping out of cyclingí s big event and drop≠ ping a bombshell on his competitors after crashing twice in a rain≠ , mud≠ , sweat≠ and blood≠ soaked fifth stage for the pack through nerve≠ wracking cobblestones along Franceí s border with Belgium.

The 29≠ year≠ old Team Sky leader, already nursing pain in his left wrist a day earlier, first scuffed up his right hip, tearing his uniform, then scraped his face. Both falls happened even before he got to the start of 13 total 8 miles over joint≠ jangling cobble≠ stones.

He was the best≠ known of sev≠ eral big≠ name riders who crashed Wednesday. They found out months

LAS VEGAS, Nev. ó Pat Riley made his pitch. And now, LeBron James wants time to think.

The Miami Heat president met with the four≠ time NBA MVP on Wednesday after≠ noon in Las Vegas, Nev., two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity because neither side publicly disclosed details of the meeting. James, his agent Rich Paul, Riley and Heat executive Andy Elisburg were at the meeting, said one of the people.

James has not made a decision and will not make any announcements before Thurs≠ day, a person said, adding, ì He wants to meet with his family.î As he weighs his options, James will not meet with any other teams, the person added.

So now, Miami waits. So does Cleveland.

So, too, does just about the entire NBA ó because once James picks the Heat or the Cavaliers, the teams believed to be serious suitors for his services, the domino effect of other free agent moves will surely follow.

The meeting in Vegas lasted for more than an hour and took place more than two weeks after James opted out of his contract and elected to become a free agent, and the day before free agents may begin signing contracts.

James spent part of his day before the meeting at his annual skills academy with some of the nationí s top high school and col≠ lege players, interacting and observing work≠ outs. That was part of the reason why Riley had to fly across the country to make the meeting happen, with hopes that he would

S√ O PAULO he World Cupí s second semifinal was sup≠ posed to put the silky skills of Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben in the spotlight. Instead, a goalkeeper and two rock≠ solid defenses stole the show.

Argentina goalie Sergio Romero saved two pen≠ alties Wednesday to send Argentina into the World Cup final with a 4≠ 2 shootout win over the Nether≠ lands after tough defending and a lack of creative spark from either team consigned the match to a 0≠ 0 stalemate.

In a twist of fate, Romero credited Nether≠ lands coach Louis van Gaal with helping launch his career when he arrived as an inexperienced youngster at AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch league. ì I will be forever grateful to the coach for help≠ ing me out in a country that is so different from

T

ours,î Romero said.

A day after Germany lit up the World Cup with its clinical 7≠ 1 destruction of host Brazil, the Dutch and Argentines could not manage a goal between them in 120 minutes before the shootout.

Messi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, will have to do play far bet≠ ter in Sundayí s final at Rio de Janeiroí s Maracana Stadium if he is to engineer a win over the power≠ ful German team. The Barcelona star was muted throughout the match and extra time, rarely man≠ aging to shake off his markers.

At the Itaquerao Stadium, he was overshadowed by his goalkeeper and the man he replaced as Argentina captain, Javier Mascherano, who bossed the midfield for his team the way surprise starter Nigel de Jong did for the Dutch.

When Robben looked like deciding the match in stoppage time, Mascheranoí s perfectly timed slid≠ ing tackle blocked his shot at the near post. ì I would say that he is an outstanding player,î

Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella said. ì He is an emblem within our national squad, on the field as well as off it.î Romero ó thought to be a weak link for Argen≠ tina and not even a starter for his Monaco club most of last season ó had almost nothing to do during the match, but blocked penalties by Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder in the shootout. For Argentina, Messi, Ezequiel Garay, Sergio Aguero and Maxi Rodriguez all converted their spot kicks. ì Ití s luck, thatí s the truth. You can dive [the right way] and not make it, like happened to their goal≠ keeper,î Romero said. ì I had confidence, thank God things turned out well.î A Germany≠ Argentina final means an extra bitter end to the tournament for Brazilians, who will have to watch their fiercest rivals play for the world title in their most hallowed stadium against a team that humiliated their nation in the semifi≠ nals.

NEW YORK — It won’t be what Brazil’s fans will remember, but the first World Cup semifinal is the most tweeted-about sports event in Twitter history.

The social media company says there were 35.6 million tweets sent out during Germany’s 7-1 rout of Brazil on Tuesday afternoon.

That easily beat Twitter’s previous record of 24.9 million set dur-

ing the Super Bowl in February.

Twitter says there was a flurry of more than 580,000 tweets per minute right after Germany’s goal made it 5-0, the last of four goals to come in quick succession.

An estimated 12.4 million people watched the game on television in the United States, the Nielsen company said. That included 6.6 million who saw the game on ESPN, and 5.8 million who watched on the Spanishlanguage Univision network.

WOMEN’S BRITISH OPEN

Michelle Wie goes for encore at Royal Birkdale

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press

SOUTHPORT, England — As much as Michelle Wie prefers to look forward, this is one week when it’s tempting to get caught up in the past.

That could include her recent tour of New York as the U.S. Women’s Open champion or a decade ago when the teen prodigy from Hawaii got her first taste of links golf along the Lancashire coast of England.

Both are relevant memories this week at the Ricoh Women’s British Open.

Wie is among the favorites when the LPGA Tour’s third major of the

year gets underway Thursday at Royal Birkdale and not just because she won the last major.

Wie has two victories among eight top 10s in her last nine tournaments.

She has played in the final group at both majors. Her unique, bent over “table-top” stance while putting has proven to be the perfect complement to her power. She has become a force in women’s golf, capped off by her two-shot win at Pinehurst No. 2.

She was introduced at her news conference as the reigning U.S. Women’s Open champion.

“It’s never going to get old,” said Wie, smiling “I think it’s amazing that it will be there forever — my name

will be on the cup. Once it’s engraved, it can’t really be taken back. It feels amazing. I’m extremely proud of myself.”

And now it’s back to work.

“I let myself really bask in it for a few days,” Wie said. “And after that … just because I won a major, it doesn’t mean that I’m going to play well in the future. It doesn’t guarantee that I’m going to win the British or win anything.”

Wie made her links debut just down the road at Formby when she played in the Curtis Cup at age 14. A year later, in her final tournament as an amateur, she closed with a 69 at Birkdale in cold, windy conditions and tied

for third in the Women’s British Open.

“I didn’t know what hand-warmers were,” she said. “And I remember playing with Catriona [Matthew] and I saw her with the hand warmers and I was like, ‘What is that? That is so genius.’ I have never been so cold in my entire life. That’s what I remember from the first Birkdale.”

The Women’s British Open returns to Royal Birkdale for the sixth time, and it’s enough to get the attention of every player — from defending champion Stacy Lewis to Laura Davies, the 50-year-old English star who has played them all at Birkdale.

A wet spring has made the links course lush. The course is already is

6,458 yards, which feels even longer at sea level and without getting as much roll in the fairways.

And the wind has been ripping off the Irish Sea during the last two days of practice.

“Obviously, on a lot of these courses, you miss the bunkers,” said Matthew, who grew up playing links golf in Scotland. “But here, you’ve got to miss the bunkers and the rough. So I think you’re really going to have to play well to have a good score around here and especially if the wind blows.”

Davies said there were a few times during her pro-am round where a golf ball just a few feet off the fairway could not be found.

Northern New Mexico

Greinke, Dodgers lose to Tigers SCOREBOARD The Associated Press

DETROIT — Max Scherzer pitched seven impressive innings, outdueling Zack Greinke and helping the short-handed Detroit Tigers beat the Tigers 4 Los Angeles Dodgers 4-1 on Wednesday.

Dodgers 1 Detroit was without sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez, but the AL Central-leading Tigers scored two runs in the first inning and Scherzer (11-3) made the lead hold up. The All-Star right-hander allowed a run and four hits. He struck out seven and walked two.

Joba Chamberlain struck out two in the eighth, and Joe Nathan fanned two in a perfect ninth for his 18th save in 23 chances.

NATIONALS 6, ORIOLES 2 In Baltimore, Doug Fister allowed two runs over seven innings and Washington hit three solo homers in a victory over the Orioles.

Wilson Ramos, Ian Desmond and Jayson Werth connected for the Nationals, who took control early and cruised to the finish in this interleague matchup between firstplace clubs located 40 miles apart on I-295.

Each team has won once in the rainshortened, home-and-home showdown that concludes Thursday night. Washington has won eight of 10 overall and Baltimore is 7-2 in its last nine games.

AMERICAN LEAGUE YANKEES 5, INDIANS 4 (14 INNINGS) In Cleveland, Jacoby Ellsbury’s two-out homer in the 14th inning sent New York to a victory over the Indians.

Ellsbury hit his sixth home run of the season on an 0-2 pitch from Vinnie Pestano (0-1).

Chase Whitley (4-2) pitched two scoreless innings. David Robertson earned his 22nd save, retiring All-Star Michael Brantley on a long fly to left with a runner on second to end it.

RED SOX 5, WHITE SOX 4 In Boston, Daniel Nava doubled home the tying run in the ninth inning and scored on Brock Holt’s single as the Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit to beat Chicago and snap a four-game losing streak.

Chris Sale pitched 7⅔ innings of four-hit ball and left with a 4-0 lead in his bid to earn the final spot on the AL All-Star team.

The winner of the online voting will be

announced Thursday. Sale, an All-Star the past two seasons, walked none and struck out six before his bullpen cost him a chance to improve to 9-1.

ANGELS 8, BLUE JAYS 7 In Anaheim, Calif., Albert Pujols hit a goahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning and Kole Calhoun also connected to lead Los Angeles over Toronto.

The Blue Jays took a 7-6 lead in the sixth on Dioner Navarro’s two-out RBI single against Fernando Salas. Pujols responded with a drive that hit the top of the centerfield fence beyond the outstretched glove of Colby Rasmus and bounced over for his 20th homer of the season and 512th of his career, tying Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews for 21st place all-time.

ROYALS 5, RAYS 4 In St. Petersburg, Fla., Salvador Perez hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift Kansas City over Tampa Bay. Kirby Yates (0-1), the fifth Rays reliever, entered with runners at the corners and gave up Perez’s one-out shot into the leftfield corner. It’s been a big week for Perez, chosen Sunday to start at catcher for the American League in next week’s All-Star game.

Aaron Crow (4-1) pitched a scoreless eighth and Greg Holland got three outs for his 24th save. Eric Hosmer also homered for Kansas City.

ASTROS 8, RANGERS 4 In Arlington, Texas, Robbie Grossman snapped an 0-for-28 slide with a careerhigh four hits, and Houston climbed out of last place in the AL West, completing a three-game sweep with a victory over AllStar pitcher Yu Darvish and Texas.

Grossman and rookie George Springer homered for the Astros, who moved into fourth place by a percentage point over the slumping Rangers.

Springer also made an incredible running catch in the third inning. The center fielder leaped on the warning track, reached over his head and held onto the ball when he slammed into the wall.

NATIONAL LEAGUE REDS 4, CUBS 1 In Cincinnati, Alfredo Simon became the NL’s first 12-game winner, and Billy Hamilton added to his sensational series with a tiebreaking triple, leading the Reds over trade-depleted Chicago.

The Reds won their fifth in a row — matching their season high — and moved a

season-best seven games over .500. They’ll try for their first five-game sweep since 1976 on Thursday.

METS 4, BRAVES 1 In New York, Dillon Gee pitched into the eighth inning after two months on the disabled list, Travis d’Arnaud hit a two-run homer and the Mets beat Atlanta for its first four-game winning streak in a year.

David Wright sparked the tiebreaking rally by hustling for a double, Kirk Nieuwenhuis put the Mets ahead with a sacrifice fly and d’Arnaud capped the three-run seventh with a shot to left off Ervin Santana (7-6).

That gave the Mets a home run in nine straight games at Citi Field, a team record for the stadium that opened in 2009.

DIAMONDBACKS 4, MARLINS 3 (10 INNINGS) In Phoenix, Paul Goldschmidt doubled in the last two of Arizona’s three runs in the 10th inning, giving the Diamondbacks a comeback victory against Miami.

The Marlins took a 3-1 lead in the 10th on Donovan Solano’s two-run double off winner Brad Ziegler (4-1).

ROCKIES 6, PADRES 3 In Denver, Troy Tulowitzki hit two of Colorado’s five home runs in a win over San Diego.

Drew Stubbs, Charlie Blackmon and Wilin Rosario also went deep for the Rockies, who won a home series for the first time since taking two of three from the Padres in May. Stubbs broke an eighth-inning tie with a two-run shot off Joaquin Benoit (3-1), who had thrown 19 consecutive scoreless innings. It was Stubbs’ ninth homer of the season and fifth in his last five games.

PHILLIES 4, BREWERS 1 In Milwaukee, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley homered to support Roberto Hernandez’s solid start, and Philadelphia beat the Brewers for its third straight win over the NL Central leaders.

Hernandez (4-8) needed just 84 pitches to get through eight innings against the aggressive Brewers, who have lost four in a row and eight of nine. Hernandez allowed three hits, and Jonathan Papelbon worked a perfect ninth for his 22nd save.

CARDINALS 5, PIRATES 2 In St. Louis, Lance Lynn reached double figures in wins before the All-Star break for the third consecutive year, and Kolten Wong homered for the second game in a row, helping the Cardinals beat Pittsburgh for the third straight time.

LeBron: Other trades hinge on his decision Continued from Page B-1 return to Miami from the gambling haven with a huge win — keeping James in Heat colors for at least another season.

He returned to the camp after the meeting, jumping into some games with the high school players.

James spent a few minutes on each court during the evening session, high-fiving the kids as he played. And when Shake Milton of Owasso, Okla., hit the deck on one play, James shouted, “Hold on, I got you, stay down,” then promptly helped his teammate to his feet.

Another highlight came when James showed off his passing skills, throwing a no-look assist to Jayson Tatum of St. Louis for a two-handed slam.

When his night of play was over, James got stretched out, had icepacks strapped to his

knees and back, then went to the stands and sat with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski — his Olympic coach — for about five minutes. James then exited the building.

Several teams have met with Paul during the free-agent process, but it appears James has only one decision to make: Cleveland or Miami, the same choice he pondered four years ago when he decided play with the Heat. With James, the Heat won four Eastern Conference titles and two NBA championships.

The Cavaliers didn’t sit idle waiting for James and Riley to meet.

Cleveland created salary-cap space earlier Wednesday with a three-team trade with the Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets, ensuring they have enough to offer the James a maximum contract.

But James had said he would meet with Riley and the Heat before making his decision.

The meeting came nearly three weeks after Riley addressed reporters following Miami’s loss to San Antonio in the NBA Finals, when he insisted that the Heat needed to make some adjustments to get better — but didn’t need a massive rebuilding job to stay at a championship level.

“You’ve got to stay together if you’ve got the guts, and you don’t find the first door and run out of it if you have an opportunity,” Riley said on June 19. “This is four years now into this era, this team, four finals.

It’s only been done three other times before. And two championships. From day one to the end, it was like a Broadway show. Sort of ran out of steam, and we need to retool. We don’t need to rebuild, we need

to retool, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

If James leaves, it’ll be more than a retooling project that awaits Miami.

Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh — the other members of Miami’s “Big 3” of the past four seasons — are also free agents, and neither has given any hint as to what they will do, though it’s still expected Wade will not leave the Heat. Miami has just two players under contract for next season, one of those on a partially guaranteed deal.

The Heat have also reached agreements with forwards Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger, as well as the draft rights to guard Shabazz Napier, but there’s still plenty of jobs to be filled.

And the Heat have mostly been in a holding pattern while waiting for James to make his next decision.

NCAA: Presidentí s relevance questioned Continued from Page B-1 like to see enacted.

In addition to the end of the standard year-to-year scholarships, he said scholarships should also cover the full cost of attending college, not just basics such as room and board.

He also called for better health, safety and insurance protocols and said universities must confront what he called the “national crisis” of sexual assault.

Emmert said such changes could come about if Division I schools decide to remake their decision-making structure in the coming weeks, giving more authority to the five biggest conferences.

He reiterated that the schools themselves are in charge of the rules and emphasized the challenge of creating a consensus among college presidents, coaches and athletic directors.

That led to sharp words from Sen. Claire McCaskill, who leveled the “minion” statement and added: “If you’re merely a monetary pass-through, why should you even exist?”

The Missouri Democrat was particularly concerned with research that showed a significant percentage of universities allow athletic departments to handle sexual assault investigations of athletes.

Emmert said he was “equally surprised and dismayed by” McCaskill’s numbers and that he would work to put an end to the apparent conflict of interest.

The hearing came as the NCAA faces pressure from multiple fronts to reform how athletes are treated and compensated.

The organization is awaiting a judge’s ruling following a three-week trial in Oakland, California, in which former UCLA basketball star Ed O’Bannon and others are seeking a share of revenues from the use of their names, images and likenesses in broadcasts and videogames.

Also, former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter is leading a push to form the first union for college athletes.

Emmert testified in the O’Bannon trial, where he opposed any effort to pay players because it would destroy the bedrock of amateurism on which college sports is based.

There have been moves, however, to pay more attention to the athlete’s concerns.

Emmert noted that multiyear scholarships were recently reinstated after being banned for close to four decades. The Big Ten last month came out in support of guaranteed four-year scholarships and improved medical coverage for athletes.

Committee chairman Jay Rockefeller

took a bigger view during the hearing, questioning whether the amateur model is sustainable. He told Emmert: “I think I am just very skeptical that the NCAA can ever live up to the lofty mission that you constantly talk about.”

“I don’t see how a multibillion dollar commercial enterprise can merely be an amateur pursuit,” the West Virginia Democrat said. “I don’t see how the NCAA will ever be capable of truly making a safe, quality educational experience for students their No. 1 priority.”

Rockefeller said he doesn’t plan to drop the issue. He dropped veiled threats of using subpoena power and the committee’s special investigation unit should the Democrats retain control of the Senate and the NCAA not move forward with reforms.

Near the end of the hearing, which lasted just under three hours, Rockefeller said too much of the hearing was conducted in “self-protection mode.”

“My real feeling from this hearing,” Rockefeller said, “is that we haven’t accomplished much.”

Emmert declined an invitation from Rockefeller to make a concluding statement. After the hearing, Emmert deflected questions from reporters while being led to a freight elevator to leave the building.

Explosive Fuego beat Taos 8-6 It was an offensive explosion that came at the right time for the Santa Fe Fuego.

They scored six runs in the final two innings to erase a 6-2 deficit and defeated the Taos Blizzard 8-6 in Pecos League baseball at the Taos Tundra on Wednesday night.

The rally helped Santa Fe (34-19) extend its lead in the Northern Division to 4½ games over the idle Trinidad Triggers (28-22).

It appeared the Triggers would gain a half-game on the Fuego, as Taos held Santa Fe to just two runs on six hits until the eighth inning. The Fuego used two singles and an Eric Kozel sacrifice fly to cut the margin to 6-3.

Santa Fe walked their way to the lead in the ninth, as a single and six walks led to five runs and an 8-6 lead. The single, by reliever Brandon Gonella, tied the score at 6-all. Three straight walks followed, with the last from Craig Massey for the final margin.

Tyler Herr pitched a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth inning for the save.

Santa Fe returns home for five games against the Blizzard, and opens up with a couple of promotions for Thursday. For every ticket sold on Thursday, $1 will go toward the Cancer Foundation for New Mexico. Also, the Fuego will hold their first $1 beer special, which lasts until the sixth inning.

Friday will be “State Employee Night” and Saturday is “City Employee Night,” in which all state and city employees can purchase tickets for $4.

WORLD CUP

Brazilians struggle to explain loss

By Tales Azzoni

The Associated Press

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil Brazilians are having a diffi≠ cult time trying to fathom how it all went wrong so quickly against Germany in the World Cup semifinals.

With the humiliating 7≠ 1 loss still very raw for Brazil support≠ ers, players struggled to find explanations for the countryí s worst ever World Cup defeat.

Brazil conceded four goals in a seven≠ minute span and trailed 5≠ 0 at halftime on Tues≠ day, and never had a chance to mount a comeback at the Min≠ eirao Stadium.

The dream of playing a home final at the Maracana was obliterated, and players knew they were going down in history for the wrong reasons at their home World Cup. ì We are still trying to under≠ stand what happened,î right back Daniel Alves said. ì I guess ití s football. In six min≠ utes you can be eliminated and thatí s what happened to us.î Germany scored its first five goals by the 29th min≠ ute as Brazilí s defense self≠ destructed, shocking the crowd at the Mineirao and everyone else watching on television. ì It was a tough day,î Brazil defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo said. ì We started well, with everybody doing what they were supposed to be doing, but then all of a sudden we conceded the goals.î Tuesdayí s result equaled the margin of its previous worst defeat ó a 6≠ 0 loss to Uruguay ó

in the South American cham≠ pionship in 1920. It was the worst World Cup loss ever in numbers, and probably nearly as heartbreaking as the home defeat in the 1950 tournament, the so≠ called Maracanazo. ì Ití s difficult to explain,î Oscar said. ì I doní t know what to say. All we can do is apolo≠ gize. Nobody expected this.î Left back Marcelo added: ì We were in shock about what happened. We were going through our worst day and they [the Germans] were going through their best day.î Although no one was mak≠ ing excuses, Brazil played without star striker Neymar because of an injury and cap≠ tain Thiago Silva because of a

suspension.

Silva said it was ì almost impossible to explain what happened. It wasní t the Brazil≠ ian national team that we are used to seeing.î Bernard, who took Neymarí s spot in the starting lineup, said ì nothing went our away. It was atypical.î Brazil now has to play the third≠ place match on Satur≠ day in Brasilia against either Argentina or the Netherlands.

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said she was ì very, very sadî after the loss. Pele said it showed that ì football is a box of surprises.î ì Nobody in this world expected this result,î Pele posted on Twitter, already

looking forward to the 2018 tournament. ì Weí ll get the sixth title in Russia. Congratu≠ lations to Germany.î But many of the Brazilian players woní t be back in Rus≠ sia to try to rebound from the historic home defeat. Only seven players will be 30 years or younger in 2018 ó Mar≠ celo, Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho, Willian, Neymar, Oscar and Bernard. ì We know this will be remembered for a long time,î veteran defender Maicon said.

Striker Fred, who struggled the entire tournament and was loudly jeered when he was replaced in the second half on Tuesday, said ì our lives will be marked by this.î

Germanyí s rout began with a plan in 2000

By George Vecsey The New York Times

The stunning performance by Germany on Tuesday was a long time coming. Four≠ teen years would be the best figure.

This 7≠ 1 demolition of Brazil in the World Cup semifinal goes back to a national plan, made easier in a relatively compact country. Germany shocked the Brazilian fans to tears, demoralized their respected colleagues on the field and amazed a worldwide audience with alert, precise and engaging team play.

Did the Brazilian players quit? That is between them and the deity of jogo bonito. But, clearly, they were playing without the injured Neymar, without the suspended Thiago Silva and without heart to activate their legs.

The score was stunning, but Germany is no surprise. The national team has been building toward this excellence since 2000, when it could not advance from the group stage in the European tournament.

In some nations, this would cause angst, but in Germany it produced a develop≠ ment plan, identifying and training ath≠ letic youngsters in 366 districts.

The details are no secret. The system produced the wave of players in their mid≠ 20s who could not help themselves from scoring goals Tuesday, tapering down to reserved celebrations as they realized what they were accomplishing.

For the growing swarm of U.S. soccer fans, there are implications to the lam≠ basting by Germany. On one level, this was one of those sporting events when everything went right for one team and everything went wrong for another ó comparable to the 73≠ 0 victory by the Chi≠ cago Bears over Washington in the NFL championship in 1940.

Early in that game, after Chicago took a 7≠ 0 lead, Washington quarterback Sammy Baughí s apparent touchdown pass was dropped by his receiver. When asked what the result might have been if Washington had scored then, Baugh replied: 73≠ 7.

He understood. It was the Bearsí after≠ noon. They were a great team, riding their explosive T≠ formation. They had a system.

MARTIN MEISSNER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

But the German system is important because there is a direct line from the development plan of the German federa≠ tion, the DFB, to the celebrity coach, Jur≠ gen Klinsmann, currently dashing up and down the sideline for the United States, smiling at opponents, exhorting his own players.

Germany rarely needs a renewal ó not with three World Cups won (as West Germany) and four other times a finalist.

That does not mean Germany will auto≠ matically win the final Sunday in Rio de Janeiro. It merely means Germany is just about always there.

The most apt words ever spoken about the German team were uttered by Gary Lineker, the English captain, after a shoot≠ out loss to West Germany in the 1990 semifinal: ì Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.î Maybe not always. Maybe not in Est· ≠ dio do Maracan„ on Sunday. And not in Yokohama, Japan, in 2002, when Germany lost the final to Brazil, with all that talent,

including Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Car≠ los and Ronaldinho. (U.S. fans will recall that Germany beat the United States, 1≠ 0, in the quarterfinals when a defender, Tor≠ sten Frings, just happened to have his left arm extended at a rakish angle on the goal line, to deflect a rebound shot by the U.S.) Four years later as host, Germany was supposedly in a rebuilding phase, under the coaching of Klinsmann, the former striker, backed up by his assistant, Joachim Lˆ w, who was rumored to contain the big picture under his Ringo≠ esque mop.

Klinsmann, who had settled in California, was thought to be somewhat of a left coast flake by old≠ guard German fans, at least before the surprising run to third place.

The Brazilians knew all about Germany Tuesday, and vice versa. There are no secrets at the top. The Brazilians had been leading the World Cup in fouls per match, the definition of a dog defending its man≠ ger. But once Germany scored, Brazil could hardly get close enough to foul.

One goal begot six more goals. It was fascinating to watch ó bringing home the reality of just how skillful world≠ level players are. If they are playing a squad having a horrible day, they can exploit and dominate.

Be bold. Move forward. This is the urg≠ ing of Klinsmann, currently regarded as an Old World cutthroat meanie by some U.S. fans because he smilingly dispatched Landon Donovan from the squad while signing up five German players who held U.S. passports. Yes, the striker who ben≠ efited from Jeremies in 1998 sent broad≠ shouldered Jermaine Jones out to be his hard man in the 2014 World Cup. With the DFB plan producing at full tilt, not everybody can make the German team. The United States, with its own federation, its own development plans, its own Major League Soccer, is doing fine.

In the meantime, Klinsmann has a large supply of phone numbers and email addresses and passport statuses of Ger≠ man players with legitimate ties to the United States. And he has four more years on his contract.

Argentina: 2nd penalty shootout for Dutch ì We have a final to play, but with one day less rest and against Germany,î Sabella said. ì Weí ll do everything possible to make it all the way to the top.î It was the second straight penalty shootout following a 0≠ 0 draw for the Dutch.

Against Costa Rica in the quar≠ terfinals, Van Gaal brought on substitute goalkeeper Tim Krul in the last seconds of extra time to replace Jasper Cillessen and Krul saved two spot kicks.

This time, Van Gaal had

used up all three substitutions by the end of extra time and Cillessen had to face the shoot≠ out.

The young Ajax goalkeeper collapsed onto his knees and sank onto his back when Rodriguezí s powerful strike ended the shootout. Krul walked across the pitch to con≠ sole him.

Van Gaal also said he had a hand in Romeroí s heroics from their time together at AZ Alkmaar. ì Penalties are always a mat≠ ter of luck,î he said. ì And I

taught Romero how to stop penalties so that hurts.î Many of Argentinaí s players stripped off their shirts in the rain at the Itaquerao Stadium and danced in front of their fans.

Argentina reached its fifth final, and its first in 24 years. It won the title in 1978 ó beating the Dutch ó and in 1986. It lost the championship matches in 1930 and 1990. It played West Germany in both the í 86 and í 90 finals.

The Netherlands, which has never won the World Cup,

was seeking to reach its fourth final.

After scoring 10 goals in three group matches, the Dutch scoring dried up in the knockout rounds. The team managed two late strikes against Mexico but failed to find the net before eliminating Costa Rica in the quarterfinal shootout. ì The issue in a champion≠ ship like this one is that you score one more goal than your opponent, which we didní t do,î Van Gaal said, ì We didní t cre≠ ate very much.î

LOS ANGELES ó A San Francisco Giants fan who suf≠ fered brain damage in a beat≠ ing in a Dodger Stadium park≠ ing lot won his negligence lawsuit on Wednesday, with a jury agreeing that the Dodg≠ ers didní t provide adequate security and were partly to blame for the attack.

Bryan Stowí s father said his son probably wouldní t understand the details of the settlement that will give him $15 million from the Dodgers ì but Bryan will know that he got some help today.î ì Heí s not going to be 100 percent, maybe for a long time, maybe never. What he gets is going to help him through now, and thatí s what he needs,î Dave Stow said.

The jury delivered its verdict in a Los Angeles courtroom after weeks of tes≠ timony about the assault after the opening day game in 2011 between the rival teams.

Stow, 45, was left with disabling brain damage and became a symbol of violence at sporting events.

He was in the courtroom for part of the trial, his wheel≠ chair positioned front and center so jurors could see the ghastly scars on his head where his skull was tempo≠ rarily removed during medi≠ cal efforts to save his life.

Experts testified that the former Northern California paramedic Stow will never work again and has suffered repeated strokes and seizures.

They said he will require round≠ the≠ clock care.

Lawyers for Stow claimed the team and former owner Frank McCourt failed to provide adequate security. In split decisions, jurors found that the Dodgers were negli≠

gent but absolved McCourt.

In civil cases, only nine of 12 jurors must agree on the verdict.

The Dodgers ì did have a [security] plan but some≠ where along the line that plan broke. And it needed to be fixed,î juror Carlos Munoz said after the verdict. ì Hope≠ fully we helped to fix it. If youí re going to own a sta≠ dium, do it right.î Jurors determined that Stow suffered about $18 mil≠ lion in damages in the form of lost earnings, medical expenses and pain and men≠ tal suffering.

The Dodgers must pay about $15 million of that because while finding the team negligent, jurors assigned it only a portion of the responsibility for Stowí s harm, said his attorney, Tom Girardi.

Stowí s attackers shared the rest of the responsibil≠ ity for Stowí s harm, jurors determined. However, they werení t sued and so cannot be required to pay a share of the damages.

Stowí s parents pronounced themselves satisfied with the juryí s award even though it is only about half of what they had sought. ì Weí ll make it work for him,î said Stowí s mother, Ann Stow.

The defense had argued that security was stronger than ever at an opening day contest and contended that Stow was partially to blame because he was drunk.

But jurors were unanimous in deciding that Stowí s own negligence wasní t a sub≠ stantial factor in causing his harm. Stowí s mother said she held her husbandí s hand as the court read that part of the verdict form.

Tour: Bikers handle slick, bumpy roads Continued from Page B-1 ago, when the course was announced, what they would face on the roads from Ypres, Belgium to Arenberg Porte du Hainaut. Ití s the same big bumps known to racers of the celebrated Paris≠ Roubaix one≠ day race.

What they couldní t foresee was the rain, which slickened roads and unsettled many rider nerves ó and psychol≠ ogy was crucial to surviving the stage. Before Froome crashed, Sky sporting direc≠ tor Nicolas Portal said it best: ì His wrist hurts a bit, but ití ll be a question of mental as well today,î according to the Tourí s website.

Before the stage, Froome had said that the biggest con≠ cern about the cobblestones was not riding over them, but the nervousness of the pelo≠ ton as riders jockey to get up front, which is considered the safest place to be.

Froome didní t speak to reporters after his second spill on the day at around the halfway mark. Wincing and limping, he shook his head at a Team Sky staffer, walked over to a team car, and climbed in. The team said later that he was already on his way home.

On Twitter, he wrote that he was ì devastatedî to withdraw: ì Injured wrist and tough conditions made controlling my bike near to impossible.î Froome wished luck to new Sky leader Richie Porte of Australia and his other teammates for the rest of the race.

Sensing the danger from the rain, race organizers scrapped two of the nine scheduled cobblestone patches, and reduced the stage by two miles. But that still wasní t enough to stop many riders from tumbling. ì Ití s devastating for Chris

and for the team,î Sky boss Dave Brailsford said. ì We really believed in Chris and his ability to win this race.

But ití s not to be this year.î The last time a defending champion abandoned the Tour was five≠ time winner Bernard Hinault of France in 1980, according to French cycling statistics provider Velobs.com.

The withdrawal of the pre≠ race favorite left the Tour wide open with 16 stages still left.

Overall leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy wasted little time in speeding ahead, notably after he saw that his other big rival for the title this year ó two≠ time champion Alberto Contador ó had trouble on the second run on cobbles.

Nibali, too, was one of several high≠ profile riders who crashed, recovered and excelled on the 95≠ mile route.

The Italian finished third and extended his lead. He and second≠ place Jakob Fuglsang of Denmark were 19 seconds behind stage winner Lars Boom of the Netherlands. ì This is a special, special day for me,î said Boom, who rides for Belkin Pro Cycling. ì I was really looking forward to the cobblestones.î Overall, Nibali leads Astana teammate Fuglsang by 2 sec≠ onds. Cannondale rider Peter Sagan of Slovakia was third, 44 seconds back. Contador, breathing hard under a mask of mud at the finish, lost about 2½ minutes to Nibali: Heí s 2:37 back, in 19th place.

Skyí s Porte was eighth over≠ all, 1:54 back, and Valverde was 10th, 2:11 behind.

Nibali expressed little reac≠ tion to Froomeí s pullout. ì We have to be calm. The road to Paris is very long,î he said. ì Cycling is made of crashes, and we have to take that into account.î

Santa Cruz Lake offers great fishing, hiking, spectacular views

Lovely highs and lows Story and photos by Robin Martin

Santa Cruz Lake is ideal for cool-weather hikes, with impressive views of local peaks.

Bears on the prowl in Gila Forest area SILVER CITY ó Officials of the Gila National Forest are warning visi≠ tors of increased black bear activity in southwestern New Mexico.

They say activity is on the rise due to the continuing hot and dry condi≠ tions across the Gila. As the drought persists, they say black bears will be in search of food and water.

Forest officials say all food should be properly stored and garbage should be disposed of in a secure manner. Visitors should also be aware of their surroundings and able to recognize signs of bear activity, such as scat and claw marks on trees.

Thousands of leftover deer and javelina draw licenses are on sale at https://onlinesales.wildlife.state. nm.us/.

Hunters are strongly encouraged to purchase a license in advance because popular licenses often sell out quickly. A person without a game hunting or a game hunting and fishing license will be required to purchase one before purchasing a leftover deer or javelina license.

All purchases will be audited to verify the customerís eligibility. After being verified for eligibility, licenses will be awarded to hunters and will be available to print and view within a few days of purchase.

For more information about the leftover license sale, hunting in New Mexico or for help logging in, call 888≠ 248≠ 6866. Leftover licenses will not be sold over the phone.

Farther down the trail are gran≠ ites, formed perhaps a billion and a half years ago during an ancient mountain≠ building episode. Milky white quartz and pink feldspar color the outcrops. These granites formed steep hills before the sediments of the Tesuque Formation inundated them.

camp in the groves.

In the fall and spring migration seasons, I have seen mallards, ring≠ necked and canvasback ducks on the water. Overhead, ravens often soar in thermals above the lake.

Wildlife is sparse. I have seen raccoon tracks, heard coyotes and picked up the faint whiff of a skunk.

Earlier this summer, I almost ran over a bull snake that was sunning on paved highway north of NambÈ .

Once, about 40 years ago, when I was in college, I had a classmate visiting me over the winter holidays.

We walked down to the lake under the light of a full moon and enjoyed reflections of the hills on the ice.

As we climbed out, I was looking forward to enjoying hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps at the campground, perhaps a romantic viewing of the lake and the moon.

Unfortunately, there was a mountain lion sitting on the picnic table where we had planned to stop.

We retreated to the car and drove home to my motherís house ó that was the end of that.

Each trip to Santa Cruz Lake is dif≠ ferent, each equally spectacular.

Getting there is equally rewarding The trailhead is a scenic 45≠ minute drive from Santa Fe. Drive North on

U.S. 84/285 for about 16 miles and turn right on N.M. 503, the High Road to Taos.

Continue 8.5 miles, passing through NambÈ and the badlands north of that village. Instead of turn≠ ing left to ChimayÛ , continue on 503 toward the village of CundiyÛ .

The turnoff to the BLM overlook is on the left. Continue 1.2 miles on a gravel road, bearing left past the campground, and park at the trail≠ head.

This year, the campground is par≠ ticularly well maintained. I have seen sheriffís cars patrolling the area and BLM staff emptying trash barrels.

Be aware that in the winter, the gate to the gravel road may be locked, and hikers will have to park near the paved road and walk a little more than a mile to the trailhead.

On the way home, consider turn≠ ing left and continuing east on N.M. 503, through the Hispanic hillside village of CundiyÛ .

The steep, winding road eventu≠ ally reconnects with the High Road to Taos.

Turn left on N.M. 76, and drive through ChimayÛ on County Road 98, where you can visit weaving shops, eat at the Rancho de ChimayÛ restaurant and view the holy San≠ tuario, destination for thousands of Holy Week pilgrims.

FOR THE BIRDS

Reports of the fascinating magpie abound

By Anne Schmauss For The New Mexican

I

t is quite common to see magpies in our general area, but weíve had more than the usual number of magpie reports right in town in the last week or two.

Iím not sure why this is, but itís quite a treat to see more of these large, flashy birds. Measuring 20 inches in length, magpies, like jays and crows, are a member of the corvid family. Like their cousins, magpies arenít shy. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology website, Lewis and Clark reported magpies boldly entering their tents to steal food. Magpies also, reportedly, fol≠ lowed hunting parties of the plains

short descent to Santa Cruz Lake from the Bureau of Land Management overlook provides stunning views from a well≠ maintained trail that drops steeply to a cove where hikers can wade or fish.

This is one of my favorite cool≠ weather hikes in Northern New Mexico. In the summer, I go early in the morning or at sunset. Any time of day is fine in the other three seasons.

I have always found the trail passable, even after a snowstorm or heavy rain.

A dam built in 1929 impounds the RÌ o Frijoles and RÌ o del Medio to form Santa Cruz Lake. The water is released to irrigate fields in ChimayÛ and other downstream villages. New Mexicoís Department of Game and Fish stocks the lake with rainbow trout.

This is a no≠ wake body of water, so hikers are never bothered by the sound of speedboat motors echoing off the canyon walls.

The trailhead elevation is at 6,600 feet above sea level on a pla≠ teau in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It takes about half an hour to descend to the lake.

The view from the top is spectacu≠ lar. To the east are the high peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, with a good view of high≠ altitude cirques carved out by mountain glaciers dur≠ ing the last ice age. The most promi≠ nent peak is Sierra Mosca.

In the south are the volcanic Ortiz Mountains near Cerrillos, and the uplifted block of granite that forms the Sandia Mountains near Albu≠ querque. To the west are the Jemez Mountains and the Pajarito Plateau, formed when the Valles Caldera erupted between a million and a million and a half years ago. To the north are the Tusas Mountains, near El Rito.

The tree≠ lined Rio Grande and the barren barrancas ó the badlands near Pojoaque ó are visible in the foreground. This is a spectacular view of the Rio Grande Rift Valley.

When I return to my car after an early evening hike, I enjoy looking at the lights of Los Alamos and White Rock to the west, with the Indian casinos of the Rio Grande corridor visible in the middle distance. From nearby high points, I can see the lights of Las Truchas to the north.

Take a while to look around before you begin the descent to the lake.

At the car park area, the surface is strewn with smooth, rounded cob≠ bles, proof that about a million and a half years ago, rivers flowed here.

The trail descends steeply through high≠ desert vegetation. Juniper, piÒ on and mountain mahogany grow on the rocky slopes. Grama and Indian ricegrass dot the hillsides. After a rain, wildflowers spring up almost immediately. These can include spec≠ tacular red≠ orange stands of Indian paintbrush. I have seen blooming purple asters alongside the trail even in late November.

Outcrops of crumbly sandstone along the trail are part of the geologic Tesuque Formation, deposited in riv≠ ers and lakes some 15 million years ago when sediment eroded from the rising Sangre de Cristo Mountains filled the rift valley. Some parts of

Indians and feasted on their leftovers.

We are at the southern tip of the magpieís range, which covers much of the West, north to Alaska. Magpies are social creatures and sometimes group together in large flocks around

food sources, including road kill and other carrion. They move together in groups and often keep a mate for several years. Their nests take weeks to construct with the final product measuring 30 inches high by 20 inches wide. Magpieís large size, long tail and white wing patches make them unmistakable. They are easy to spot, often sitting conspicu≠ ously at the tops of trees, or on fence posts, where they can easily see and be seen, hear and be heard. Their raucous calls match their size and behavior to a T. Sometimes magpies will come to birdfeeders. The photo here shows them eating a no≠ mess type blend of seed, but they will also eat fruit, suet and will even raid dog food bowls.

No≠ mess seed blend is attractive to many birds, including those that arenít regular feeder visitors. No≠ mess blends are usually a combination of different bird seeds without shells.

Sunflower chips, hulless white millet, and peanut pieces are common ingre≠ dients of a good no≠ mess blend. Many seed eating birds have no trouble cracking open shells, but birds like robins and bluebirds arenít equipped with a good shell≠ busting beak.

Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe. She and her sisters are the authors of For the Birds: A Month by Month Guide to Attracting Birds to Your Backyard.

Anne’s new book, Birdhouses of the World, is out now.

Santa Fe National Forest and Valles Caldera National Preserve remain in very high fire danger, despite recent rains. Grasses and other small fuels have dried out enough to carry fire; larger fuels, such as logs, are excep≠ tionally dry and able to burn. The extended weather forecast calls for continued dry and windy conditions.

All of these factors raise the poten≠ tial for both human≠ and lightning≠ caused fires.

To ensure public safety and to provide the highest degree of protec≠ tion to forest resources, Stage 1 fire restrictions will be implemented on all National Forest System lands within Santa Fe National Forest on the Jemez Ranger District and Cuba Ranger District south of N.M. 126, and the Valles Caldera National Pre≠ serve, in Sandoval County. This order will remain in effect until Dec. 31, or until rescinded, whichever occurs first.

Observe the following prohibi≠ tions: u Campfires, charcoal grills and stove fires are prohibited except in established fire pits, in developed campsites and picnic areas. u Pressurized liquid or gas stoves, lanterns and heaters are allowed. u Smoking is only allowed in enclosed vehicles or buildings, devel≠ oped recreation sites, or in areas at least 3 feet in diameter that are clear of flammable material. u Possessing, discharging, or using any kind of firework or other pyro≠ technic device is prohibited.

Music, games on tap at Taos Ski Valley Each weekend in the summer, fam≠ ilies and adventure≠ seekers can enjoy live music, scenic chairlift rides and a cool mountain escape from the heat at Taos Ski Valleyís Saturday Summer Music Series, at no charge.

Every Saturday through Aug. 30, TSV presents a unique variety of live music by up≠ and≠ coming artists.

Highlights include blues guitarist Cody Jasper; Americana Indie folk music by The Gleewood Band; Afro≠ beat Cumbias music by Radio La Chusma; Austin singer/songwriter Dana Falconberryís vocal harmonies mixed with cello and banjo; and local favorite, Michael Hearneís Mini Barn Dance.

Music lovers can bring their own blankets and enjoy the music from 3 to 6 p.m. at the TSV Resort Cen≠ ter stage. Kids have access to the playground with hula hoops and complementary popcorn, volleyball, horseshoes, and disc golf.

TSVís new Pioneer Bike Park will also be available ó a lift≠ served, beginnerís mountain bike area for downhill biking on easier terrain.

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.

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: 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,

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Man says heí s not attracted to either sex Dear Annie: I am a 42-yearold single man who has never been married or even been in a relationship. I’m perfectly content with this, but apparently, the people in my life are not. The truth is, I am not nor have I ever been attracted to either sex. I don’t know whether there is something seriously wrong with me, or whether there is even a name for what I am.

I realized I was different in middle school when all my friends became interested in dating, but I couldn’t care less. I figured it would eventually change, but it never did. In my senior year in high school, I confessed this to my best friend, who told me I was a freak. I never mentioned it again to anyone.

There is no underlying factor for why I am like I am. I was not abused as a child, and I had a great relationship with my parents and siblings. I can be affectionate, and I enjoy giving hugs to the people I love. I can recognize that someone is attractive, but the idea of being intimate doesn’t appeal to me. I accepted this a long time ago and feel comfortable in my skin.

Over the years when someone tried to fix me up with someone, I always declined or came up with an excuse. Now everyone thinks I’m gay and in the closet.

Let me be clear, I firmly believe your sexual orientation is determined when you’re born. I also believe my lack of an orientation was also determined at birth.

It has nothing to do with being straight or gay.

I seriously have no idea how to deal with this. Should I just stay silent and let them think what they want, or should I try to explain how I feel? Please don’t recommend counseling. I don’t feel abnormal. Not being physically attracted seems normal. — Conflicted in Kentucky Dear Conflicted: There is a name for this. You are asexual ó not interested in physical intimacy

with either sex. More importantly, there is a support group for you at AVEN at asexuality.org.

Dear Annie: I read your response to “Concerned Old Man in West Hills,” who didn’t understand why his niece was upset when he told her she was fat. You said it was rude to comment on one’s appearance.

Why in hell do you think pointing out that someone is fat is so rude? They are obese, and they are killing themselves. What’s the big deal in saying so? I am 78 years old and weigh the same as I did in high school through effort and sacrifice. Give me a break! — Not a Rude Guy, Just Honest Dear Not: The fact that something may be true does not make it less rude. Would you say, “My goodness, that’s an ugly baby!” or “You are really unattractive”? It is not OK to disparage someone’s size when they already know they are heavy, and you have no idea whether there are underlying reasons or whether they’ve been working hard on it. It can be especially galling when someone who never has had a weight problem thinks he knows enough to pass judgment. More importantly, it doesn’t help the other person lose weight, so being rude is simply a form of self-indulgence. Whatever effort and sacrifice you put into maintaining your weight might now be put to good use learning to be kinder.

Dear Annie: My heart broke after reading the letter from “Lonely in Love,” whose husband doesn’t pay any attention to her after three years of marriage.

As someone who has been in the same situation, I thought you gave her good advice. I’d like to add that she should give herself a timeline for change. Otherwise, she will just be older and lonelier with less self-esteem. ó Been There, Suffered That in Ventura, Calif.

Sheinwold’s bridge

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You will defend yourself vigorously if attacked or perceive that you were attacked. Curb a tendency to overindulge. Tonight: At home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Doní t take an unneces≠ sary risk with funds. You could be reading more into a venture than really is there. You could be quite angry. Tonight: Pay bills first.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be surprised by another personí s energy as exhibited in a meeting.

Be smart, and doní t try to control anyone. Tonight: Getting into the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You could sense a situa≠ tion is building that you would prefer not to deal with. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Cryptoquip

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Friends nearly always sur≠ round you. Today a friend could dominate a situation more than you might like.

Tonight: Be impulsive!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might not be in a posi≠ tion where you can be frivolous. You often strive to make a certain impres≠ sion. Tonight: Follow your pals.
