Rancher, banker takes on incumbent in land commissioner race

The state land commissioner oversees millions of acres of New Mexico state trust land that benefits schools with lease revenue from livestock grazers, commercial developers and oil producers. Yet the political race for the job every four years rarely gains a lot of attention.

The two men vying for the position in the Nov. 4 election come from deeply different backgrounds, but both say the land commissioner has extraordinary power that requires complete transparency in the way trust lands are managed.

Incumbent Ray Powell is a Democrat, an Albuquerque native, a veterinarian and animal rights advocate who is making a bid for his fourth term in the office. He served as state land commissioner from 1993 to 2002 and was elected again in 2010.

Challenger Aubrey Dunn is a Republican who was raised on a Southern New Mexico apple farm, studied animal science and ranched while working as a banker.

As state land commissioner, one of the men will manage 9 million acres of surface lands and nearly 13 million acres of mineral rights with almost complete autonomy. Their prime mission is to generate money for the beneficiaries of state trust lands.

State Land Office revenues also pay entirely for the agency’s operations and a percentage goes to the state’s general fund.

The state land commissioner is free to wheel, deal, trade and sell state trust land, making it an position

Martinez, King spar in Spanish-language debate Candidates look to hook Hispanic voters in live Univision Nuevo Mexico-sponsored forum

By Russell Contreras The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE olitical rivals for New Mexico governor faced off in a Spanish debate Monday, a rare event that marked an emerging trend as Republicans and Democrats around the U.S. court Hispanic voters.

In the state with the nation’s highest percentage of Hispanic residents, the moderator and Republican Gov. Susana Martinez spoke Spanish, while Democrat Gary King participated through a translator.

They sparred live at a KLUZ-TV Univision Nuevo Mexico-sponsored forum, discussing topics including the economy, education and a state law that allows immigrants in the country illegally to have a driver’s license.

P

“It’s not a problem of immigration. It’s a problem of security,” Martinez said in Spanish, explaining why she wants to repeal the law.

King, however, said some police agencies supported the licenses. “I’m concerned about making two classes of citizens” if the law is repealed, he said in English.

The debate and others like it acknowledge the ability of the growing and increasingly independent voting bloc to swing an election. Candidates for Florida governor will meet in a Spanish debate Friday, though both GOP Gov. Rick Scott and Democratic former-Gov. Charlie Crist will use a translator.

Other notable Spanish debates include a 2010 event in California and a 2007 Democratic presidential forum.

Of candidates involved in those events, Martinez is unique in her ability to communicate in Spanish.

The overwhelming majority of Hispanics in New Mexico speak English, but the culture of bilingualism runs deep. Some local government bodies in the state start meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance in

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday decided to let stand rulings that allow same-sex marriage in Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma, Indiana and Wisconsin, a move that may dramatically expand across the nation a decades-long movement legalizing such unions.

The court’s action marks a turning point. A majority of Americans now live in states where gay couples can wed, and the court’s decision could soon bring the number of those states to 30, meaning there may be no going back.

“I’m blown away by this,” said James Esseks, a lawyer who heads the American Civil Liberties Union’s legal efforts concerning same-sex marriage. “It is a watershed moment for the entire country.”

The court’s decision came without explanation and startled those on both sides of the issue who had urged the justices to accept the cases to rule on the constitutionality of marriage in a way that affected all 50 states.

The denials of cases from three federal appeals courts carry no formal instruction for other lower courts still consider-

Missing students, a mass grave and a suspect: Mexico’s police

By Randal C. Archibold The New York Times

IGUALA, Mexico — They were farm boys who did well in school and took one of the few options available beyond the backbreaking work in the corn and bean fields of southern Mexico: enrolling in a local teachers college with a history of radicalism but the promise of a stable classroom job.

Leonel Castro, 19, the oldest of seven siblings, vowed to use his salary to help his impoverished family. Júlio César, 19, thought he could run a school one day and ensure the best for the next generation. Adán Abraham de la Cruz, 23, wanted to put his computer skills to good use in the classroom.

“He was just preparing himself to get ahead like any young person would do,”

said de la Cruz’s father, Bernabé.

Now, they are among 43 students reported missing after deadly clashes with the police on Sept. 26, when at least six student protesters and bystanders were killed in the restive, rural state of Guerrero, one of the poorest in the country and long afflicted by political, social and criminal upheaval.

The state prosecutor investigating why the police opened fire on students from their vehicles has found mass graves in Iguala — the small industrial city where the confrontations occurred — containing 28 badly burned and dismembered bodies.

The prosecutors had already arrested 22 police officers after the clashes, saying the officers secretly worked for, or were

Gregory Vialpando, in chronic pain since his lower back was damaged 14 years ago in a workplace accident, is one of more than 11,000 people certified to use marijuana in New Mexico’s medical cannabis program.

What makes Vialpando different is that his former employer’s insurance company must pay for his marijuana.

Vialpando, now 56, persuaded a judge and then an appeals court that the cost of his marijuana should be covered as part of his workers’ compensation benefits.

His old company fought him, saying it should not have to finance use of a drug that is illegal under federal law.

Vialpando’s injury occurred on June 9, 2000, while he was working as a mechanic at Ben’s Automotive Services in Santa Fe. Everyone involved in Vialpando’s case agreed that he had a 99 percent permanent, partial disability, according to

Wal-mart’s plan aims to enhance food sustainability

VA fires 4 executives in wait-time scandal WASHINGTON — The Veterans Affairs Department said it is firing four senior executives as officials move to crack down on wrongdoing following a nationwide scandal over long wait times for veterans seeking medical care, and falsified records covering up the delays.

Among those being fired were a top purchasing official at the Veterans Health Administration, directors of VA hospitals in Pittsburgh and Dublin, Georgia, and a regional hospital director in central Alabama, the VA said.

“VA will actively and aggressively pursue disciplinary action against those who violate our values,” Deputy VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said Monday.

STOCKHOLM ow do we remember where we parked the car? And how do we figure out a shortcut to work when there’s a big traffic jam?

The brain, it turns out, has a GPS-like function that enables people to produce mental maps and navigate the world — a discovery for which three scientists won the Nobel Prize in medicine Monday.

Husband-and-wife scientists Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser of Norway and New Yorkborn researcher John O’Keefe were honored for breakthroughs in experiments on rats that could help pave the way for a better understanding of human diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

“We can actually begin to investigate what goes wrong” in Alzheimer’s, said O’Keefe, a dual British-American citizen. He said the findings might also help scientists design tests that can pick up the very earliest signs of the mindrobbing disease, whose victims lose their spatial memory and get easily lost.

It was in London in 1971 where O’Keefe discovered the first component of the brain’s positioning system.

He found that a certain type of nerve cell was always activated when a rat was at a certain place

In brief

The New York Times

Wal-mart announced an initiative Monday to reduce the environmental impact of the food it sells and help its customers improve the nutrition in their diets. The retailer is the nation’s largest grocer, and food is its biggest business.

“What’s become clearer and clearer is that we have a real challenge globally around feeding the world’s growing population in a way that doesn’t cut down every last tree and use every last drop of water,” said Kathleen McLaughlin, senior vice president for global sustainability at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart’s new effort to enhance sustainability has four legs: reducing the overall cost of food, including its environmental footprint; increasing access to more nutritious food; making it easier for its customers to eat healthier foods; and improving food safety, with greater transparency about where food comes from and how it is produced.

Wal-Mart will use technology to propel healthier, more sustainable eating. For instance, it will ask suppliers to use a tool called Adapt-N that gives farmers information about soil, weather, temperature and seeds to help make better decisions about farm inputs.

in a room. Other nerve cells were activated when the rat moved to another place. He demonstrated that these “place cells” were building up a map, not just registering visual input.

Decades later, in 2005, the Mosers identified another type of nerve cell — the “grid cell” — that generates a coordinate system for precise “positioning and path-finding,” the Nobel Assembly said.

“I made the initial discovery over 40 years ago. It was met then with a lot of skepticism,” the 74-year-old O’Keefe said. “And then slowly over years, the evidence accumulated.

And I think it’s a sign of recognition not only for myself and the work I did, but for the way in which the field has bloomed.”

John Kubie of the SUNY Downstate Medical Center in New York said this GPS system in the brain is used in such everyday tasks as remembering where a car is parked or taking a new shortcut on the way home. Kubie also said learning about it may teach scientists more about how the brain learns and remembers, even apart from navigating.

Born in Harlem and raised in the South Bronx, O’Keefe received his doctoral degree in physiological psychology at McGill University in Canada before moving to England for postdoctoral work at the University College London.

“If you can survive the South Bronx, you can survive anything,” he said.

Monday’s award was the fourth time that a married couple has shared a Nobel Prize and the second time in the medicine category.

“This is crazy,” an excited MayBritt Moser, 51, said by telephone

from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, where she and her husband work.

“This is such a great honor for all of us and all the people who have worked with us and supported us,” she said. “We are going to continue and hopefully do even more groundbreaking work in the future.”

Edvard Moser, 52, said: “It is really a joint work. Not only are we two people, but we are complementary as well.”

The Nobel Assembly said the laureates’ discoveries marked a shift in scientists’ understanding of how specialized cells work together to perform complex cognitive tasks. They have also opened new avenues for understanding cognitive functions such as memory, thinking and planning.

“Thanks to our grid and place cells, we don’t have to walk around with a map to find our way each time we visit a city, because we have that map in our head,” said Juleen Zierath, chair of the medicine prize committee.

Half the Nobel prize money of 8 million Swedish kronor (about $1.1 million) goes to O’Keefe and the other half to the Mosers. Each winner also receives a gold medal.

The Nobel Prizes will be handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel’s death in 1896.

This year’s Nobel announcements continue with the physics award on Tuesday, followed by chemistry, literature and peace later this week. The economics prize will be announced next Monday.

Study: Giving shifts after recession Between 2006 and 2012, the wealthiest Americans became less generous with charitable donations, as a share of their total income, while lower- and middle-income Americans reached farther into their pockets as they witnessed the need for charity in their communities, a study says.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy, in a study released Monday, examined $180 billion in donations to charity in 2012 by taxpayers who itemized their deductions and found that the share of income donated to charity

by Americans who earned $200,000 or more decreased by 4.6 percent since 2006. Those earning less than $100,000 gave 4.5 percent more of their income to charity.

Religion appeared to play a role in promoting higher giving rates. Residents of Utah, where the Mormon church encourages members to give significantly to charity, gave the highest share of their income to charity, 6.6 percent.

Nine of the 10 cities where the giving rate was highest are in the so-called Bible Belt. Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire had the lowest rates.

Coroner gets surplus military weapons BATON ROUGE, La. — Doug Wortham used a Defense Department giveaway program for law enforcement to stock his office with an assault rifle, a handgun and a Humvee — even though the people in his custody are in no condition to put up a fight. They’re dead.

Wortham is the Sharp County, Ark., coroner. He says the Humvee helps him navigate the rugged terrain of the Ozarks foothills, but he struggled to explain why he needs the surplus military weapons he acquired more than two years ago.

“I just wanted to protect myself,” he said.

ISIS flag hoisted at Syrian town Nearing strategic village on Turkish-Syrian border shows militant gains in area

By Brian Murphy and Erin Cunningham The Washington Post

The Islamic State’s black flag flew Monday near one of the gateways to the strategic Syrian town of Kobane, suggesting that the militants have broken through more defensive lines after weeks of intense fighting within sight of the Turkish border.

Capturing Kobane would give the Islamic State control over a longer stretch of the Turkish-Syrian border and open potential new smuggling lines for fighters and supplies.NATO member Turkey has authorized its military to cross the border to confront the militant group, but Turkish commanders have held back their tanks and troops to aid Syrian Kurdish forces trying to hold Kobane.

Kobane’s fall also would highlight the limitations of U.S.-led airstrikes to blunt ground offensives by well-armed Islamic State units. In Iraq, the group’s fighters have gained territory against the military and allied militiamen despite facing intensified air attacks.

The U.S. military said its forces and those of partner nations conducted three strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria, including south of Kobane, on Sunday and Monday using fighter and remotely piloted aircraft. Separately, U.S. military forces used

remotely piloted aircraft and helicopters to carry out three strikes in Iraq.

The deployment of U.S. attack helicopters to the battlefield in Iraq suggests that Iraqi troops need closer air support as they fight Islamic State militants, who have inched nearer to Baghdad in recent weeks.

The aircraft are known for their accuracy and can fire missiles from several miles away. They also can help hit mobile targets such as armed trucks or ground troops, said Chris Harmer, a retired Navy helicopter pilot who is now an analyst with the Institute for the Study of War. The Islamic State has demonstrated its ability to take down aircraft in both Iraq and Syria. Last week, members of the jihad-

ist group shot down an Iraqi helicopter near the Baiji oil refinery in northern Iraq.

The group also overran Iraqi army bases in the west, prompting intensified strikes from coalition warplanes over the weekend.

Outside Kobane, meanwhile, the Islamic State has steadily pushed back Syrian Kurdish forces since mid-September as more than 160,000 refugees have fled to Turkey or nearby areas. But the Islamic State appeared to have pushed to the edge of Kobane, also known as Ayn al-Arab in Arabic. The Islamic State’s black banner with Arabic writing was raised over a building at the eastern entrance to the town, according news agencies watching from across the Turkish border.

Ruling seen as victory for artists

Hong Kong protest fades away

The New York Times

By Michael Forsythe and Alan Wong

If you say you are an artist, but you make little money from selling your art, can your work be considered a profession in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service?

In a ruling handed down late last week by the U.S. Tax Court and seen by many as an important victory for artists, the answer is yes.

The case involved the New York painter and printmaker Susan Crile, whose politically charged work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum and several other major institutions. In 2010, the IRS accused Crile of underpaying her taxes, basing the case on the contention that her work as an artist over several decades was, for taxdeduction purposes, not a profession but something she did as part of her job as a professor of studio art at Hunter College.

The heart of the case touches on a situation familiar to many thousands of artists — from visual artists to musicians and actors — who earn a living as teachers or studio assistants or stagehands while pursuing creative careers that they hope will flourish and someday be able to pay the bills.

During a trial before the tax court last year, Crile, whose work has focused on subjects like the Persian Gulf war of 1991 and the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison, described a dogged career of more than 40 years that has been more successful critically than financially. From 1971 through 2013, court papers said, she earned $667,902 from the sale of 356 works of art — or an average income of a little less than $16,000 per year — and, like many artists, she wrote off expenses from her work, like supplies, travel and meals, on her taxes. Only three years of her art career have been profitable, court records showed, and her reliable income came from teaching at Hunter, where she began part time in 1983 and became a tenured professor in 1994.

The IRS, which accused Crile of underpaying her taxes by more than $81,000 from 2004 to 2009, argued that her work as an artist was “an activity not engaged in for profit” and that she could not claim tax deductions.

But Judge Albert G. Lauber of the tax court ruled Thursday that Crile had “met her burden of proving that in carrying on her activity as an artist, she had an actual and honest objective of making a profit” and therefore under tax law should be considered a professional artist.

Nurse in Spain gets Ebola; Obama orders airline passenger screening WASHINGTON— Raising fresh concerns around the world, a nurse in Spain on Monday became the first person known to catch Ebola outside the outbreak zone in West Africa. In the U.S., President Barack Obama said the government was considering ordering more careful screening of airline passengers arriving from the region.

In dealing with potential Ebola cases, Obama said, “we don’t have a lot of margin for error.”

Already hospitalized in the U.S., a critically ill Liberian man, Thomas Duncan, began receiving an experimental drug in Dallas. But there were encouraging signs for an American video journalist who returned from Liberia for treatment. Ashoka Mukpo, 33, was able to walk off the plane before being loaded on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance, and his father said his symptoms of fever and nausea appeared mild.

In Spain, the stricken nurse had been part of a team that treated two missionaries flown home to Spain after becoming infected with Ebola in West Africa. The nurse’s only symptom was a fever, but the infec-

tion was confirmed by two tests. She was being treated in isolation, while authorities drew up a list of people she had had contact with.

Medical workers in Texas were among Americans waiting to find out whether they had been infected by Duncan, the African traveler.

In Washington, the White House continued to rule out any blanket ban on travel from West Africa.

People leaving the outbreak zone are checked for fevers before they’re allowed to board airplanes, but the disease’s incubation period is 21 days and symptoms could arise later. Airline crews and border agents already watch for obviously sick passengers, and in a high-level meeting at the White House, officials discussed potential options for screening passengers when they arrive in the U.S. as well.

Obama said the U.S. will be “working on protocols to do additional passenger screening both at the source and here in the United States.”

The Obama administration maintains that the best way to protect Americans is to end the outbreak in Africa.

HONG KONG — As the protests dwindled and life in Hong Kong increasingly returned to its frenetic routine on Monday, organizers of the biggest prodemocracy political movement in China since the 1989 demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in Beijing said they had moved the needle, however slightly, toward the possibility of a more democratic future.

Before the movement splashed into headlines around the world more than a week ago, the prospect of meaningful talks between democracy advocates and a government bent on doing Beijing’s will was nonexistent, democrats said.

Now preliminary talks have begun, and the student-led movement has strengthened the hand of Hong Kong’s democratic lawmakers.

“The power shown by the people in this civil protest is the power of the powerless,” Albert Ho, a candidate for chief executive in 2012, said in a telephone interview.

Although the protest leaders and the remaining participants, who still numbered in the low thousands, insisted that the socalled Umbrella Revolution was a long-term project that was far from over, there was a sense on Monday of a winding down.

“I’m very, very, very tired,” said Dennis Chan, 28. “We all are.”

“It won’t end today, but maybe tomorrow, maybe later, too, when there are fewer and fewer people,” he added. “It’s hard to say that we’ve won this

battle. But it’s been positive in making pressure on the government to open a conversation with the students.”

Even the protest leaders were adopting the past tense.

“All gates were closed before,” Yvonne Leung, a spokeswoman for the Hong Kong Federation of Students, said. “We have now won some space for dialogue.”

On Monday, the student groups honored a commitment they made to the government the night before to clear the barricades enough to allow civil servants to return to work. By early Monday morning, all the entrances to the main government office complex were open, and workers were streaming in.

Despite the lowered tensions, the two sides remained miles apart and the existence of talks hardly assured their success.

The official talks between student leaders and the Hong Kong government have not begun.

But on Monday night, after two days of preliminary talks, their representatives announced that they hoped to begin negotiations this week.

Debate: Forum mostly symbolic Continued from Page A-1 English and Spanish.

“The debate is more for symbolism,” said Matt Barreto, co-founder of a nonpartisan Latino political research firm and University of Washington political science professor.

Martinez is the nation’s first Hispanic woman to be elected governor, but her positions on the immigrant driver’s license law and border security fall in line with Republicans nationally and often put her at odds with some members of a group that comprises 47 percent of the state’s residents.

She had “an opportunity to connect and appear comfortable” by speaking Spanish in the debate, said Barreto, who helped launch Latino Decisions.

Meanwhile, King, who is white and the son of a popular former governor, faces a challenge seeking to knock off a strong incumbent. His supporters say his positions will appeal to many Hispanic voters in the state and should allow him to capitalize on momentum that has helped Democrats nationally.

In 2004, more than 40 percent of Hispanic voters supported George W. Bush for president. By 2012, about 75 percent of Hispanics went for President Barack Obama.

An inability to speak Spanish won’t “hurt him more than it will help her,” Barreto said.

The live debate was scheduled to also air on tape delay to accommodate voiceover translations. For the most

part, both candidates stuck to talking points used in a previous forum.

King criticized Martinez over child poverty. “We’re last in child welfare,” he said.

“That’s the most egregious.”

Martinez countered that some of the state’s lowest performing schools had improved, and she promised that things would continue to get better.

During her first bid for governor in 2010, Martinez took around 38 percent of the Hispanic vote in New Mexico at a time when most GOP candidates garnered 20 percent nationwide. She’s seeking to duplicate such success this election.

Ralph Arellanes, a Martinez critic who chairs the Hispano Roundtable, a civil rights group, said some Hispanic voters support Martinez because she’s charming and looks like a relative, “but when you look at where she stands on the issues, you’ll see that some of her policies hurt Hispanos.”

Las Vegas, N.M., voter Charles Ray Sanchez is among the governor’s Hispanic supporters, saying she has “cleaned up” state government and comes across as a needed reformer.

“I like Gary King. I’ve met him, and I think he’s a nice man,” Sanchez said. “But I don’t think he’s the right person to be governor.”

Absentee voting in New Mexico begins Tuesday by mail and at county clerks offices. Early in-person voting expands to more locations on Oct. 18.

Suspect: Case has generated national alarm Continued from Page A-1 members of, a local gang. Now they are investigating whether the police apprehended the students after the confrontation and deliberately turned them over to the local gang. Two witnesses in custody told prosecutors that the gang then killed the protesters on the orders of a leader known as El Chucky.

“I saw police trucks go up and down the hill to up there, where the bodies are found,” said one man in the neighborhood near the site who declined to give his name out of fear. “Then came the news they found the grave and it may be the students.

But you would be a fool around here to accuse the police and expect to live.”

Even in a country accustomed to mass

killings, the case has generated alarm, both for the possible involvement of the police and for the fact that the students were not known to have criminal ties. Miguel Martínez, a representative for the families, said students at the school had fought back against extortion attempts by gangs last year, but it was not clear if that could have made them a target now.

The students, by many accounts, had been soliciting money in Iguala for an Oct. 2 demonstration rejecting cuts to their state-financed school, which opened in 1926 and has long played a role in local social justice movements. Such student demonstrations are part of a well-known militancy that goes back decades and has provoked violence in the past. It did again this time, as students got into a skirmish

with the police when they tried to steal buses to take to and from the demonstration, human rights groups said.

The mayor and the police chief of Iguala are now on the run, having disappeared after being subpoenaed in the case, and the governor of the state confirmed that the local gang, known as Guerreros Unidos, had infiltrated the police force in Iguala, as well as other police departments in the state.

The specter of corrupted police has haunted Mexico for years. But these disappearances come at a time when President Enrique Peña Nieto is already confronting the prosecution of at least three soldiers charged with homicide in another recent case — the shooting death of 22 people captured in a warehouse in June.

Coverage: Pot helps to lessen man’s pain Continued from Page A-1 court records.

Vialpando in 2013 filed an application with a workers’ compensation judge for treatment with medical marijuana.

He was certified for the marijuana program by the state Health Department.

The workers’ compensation judge, Terry Kramer, found that Vialpando’s use of marijuana through the state-sanctioned program was “reasonable and necessary medical care.”

Marijuana is intended to lessen what one doctor called “high intensity” pain directly related to Vialpando’s back injury, for which he has had numerous surgeries.

Kramer ruled that Vialpando should buy his own medical marijuana but then be reimbursed by Ben’s Automo-

tive Services through its insurance company.

Both Ben’s Automotive Services and the insurance provider, Redwood Fire & Casualty, appealed that decision.

They argued that they would be breaking a law by buying marijuana for Vialpando.

A three-member panel of the state Court of Appeals ruled for Vialpando last spring.

More recently, the New Mexico Supreme Court declined to hear the case, leaving in place the decision favoring Vialpando.

Vialpando declined to comment. His attorney, Peter D. White, said Vialpando doesn’t want to be in the public eye.

White, though, said he believed Vialpando’s case is unusual, not only in New Mexico but nationally.

The New Mexico Workers Compensation Administration

does not collect information about drug prescriptions as they relate to claims, said its spokeswoman, Diana Sandoval-Tapia.

“That is not information required to be reported to us,” she said. “We only learn when disputes such as the Vialpando case arise.”

The Workers Compensation Administration is conducting a drug and alcohol survey, but participation is voluntary and it’s too early to have any data, Sandoval-Tapia said.

In Vialpando’s case, the Court of Appeals said the U.S. Department of Justice had made “what we view as equivocal statements about state laws allowing marijuana use for medical and even recreational purposes.”

The Department of Justice has said marijuana remains illegal under the Controlled

Substances Act, but in the same documents it also has said it would defer in certain instances to state and local authorities.

“In addition, the Department of Justice stated that it informed the governors of Washington and Colorado, two states that voted to legalize possession of marijuana and regulate its production and distribution, that it would defer its right to challenge those laws,” the Court of Appeals said in its decision.

Judge James Wechsler wrote the opinion in Vialpando’s case. Judges Cynthia Fry and Michael E. Vigil concurred with it.

Lands: Both candidates say transparency key to State Land Office Continued from Page A-1 easy to abuse, said Garrett VeneKlassen, executive director of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation. “It is certainly the second most powerful state position next to the governor,” said VeneKlassen. “The land commissioner controls 9 million acres of surface land and its water, minerals, wildlife, timber and municipal development. It is an incredible wealth.”

VeneKlassen said a behind-closeddoors deal made by former Land Commissioner Patrick Lyons in 2003 to trade state trust land in northeastern New Mexico called White Peak for ranch land is an example of the position’s unchecked power. At the time, Lyons said the deal with private ranchers would ease management problems on fragmented state trust lands, but sportsmen who hunted the area were infuriated. One trade went through but a second was challenged in court.

The trades pumped up interest in the 2010 election when five candidates vied for the land commissioner job.

When Powell was elected he stopped the remaining White Peak land trade.

Donors In the current race, Dunn leads in fundraising. Recent campaign reports showed he had more than $259,000 in his war chest, of which about $70,000 is money that Dunn loaned his campaign.

Dunn’s biggest donors were from the oil and gas industry, followed by ranchers, according to finance reports.

People and companies in the oil and gas industry have donated more than $58,000 to his campaign. Ranchers, farmers and dairy operators donated another $31,000. Dunn’s single largest private contribution of $10,400 came from Singleton Properties, which owns the San Cristobal cattle ranch near Lamy. About $7,150 came from political action committees.

Powell reported he had raised $105,000, including a $15,000 family loan.

His largest donors were the International Potash Corporation of Golden, Colo., and Forest City Enterprises of Cleveland, Ohio, which developed Mesa del Sol near Albuquerque on state trust land.

The potash industry contributed $5,000 to Powell’s campaign. New Mexico is the nation’s top producer of potash, a mineral used in fertilizer.

But potash also overlays rich oil and gas deposits and the industry is worried about drilling near their mines, according to investor reports.

Forest City Enterprises, along with some of its executives and subsidiary companies with interests in Mesa del Sol, have contributed more than $10,000 to Powell’s campaign. The companies and employees have con-

electricity to well pads on trust lands.

Without electric lines to the wells, producers have to pay thousands more dollars a month for generators to power pumps. Dunn said he would reduce time for an easement to 45 days or less, “while still maintaining integrity in the process,” he wrote in an email.

Dunn said he also wants to ensure that any BLM lands traded for state trust lands now a part of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument are of “superior quality” and will produce the same income for beneficiaries. Dunn, who opposed the presidential decree that created the 500,000-acre monument, said he would “ensure the trades are transparent to all of the public and no special deals are done for big out of state developers.”

He said he would also increase the efficiency of the State Land Office by 10 percent and “work to ensure that the total leased acres are maximized each month without regard to political agendas.”

County — 50 megawatts. I recently signed the lease for the largest wind farm in New Mexico which will be located on state trust land in Torrance County,” Powell said in an email.

Powell said he wants to grow renewable energy projects by 10-15 percent a year, about the same rate at which oil and gas production on state trust lands has grown.

Powell said he would continue working with communities to foster commercial leases on state trust lands such as Sandia Science and Technology Park, the Innovation Park at Mesa del Sol, and the new 1,400-acre business park in Lea County.

Powell said he’s interested in projects that earn state trust land beneficiaries money over the long run, not just short term.

Dunn said one of his goals as state land commissioner would be to reduce the amount of time it takes for oil and gas companies to obtain electric power line easements and drilling leases on state trust lands. He said he was told by some oil developers that it takes up to six months to get an easement to run

VeneKlassen said a movement to transfer federal public lands back to the state and in some cases for the State Land Office to sell state trust land are big concerns for the New Mexico Wildlife Federation.

“Really what this is all about is privatization of resources,” VeneKlassen said.

Dunn said he supports the transfer of some federal lands — like national forests and BLM land — to state control. “If the state were to get the federal lands back with the minerals, there would be more than ample money to create jobs and manage those lands,” Dunn said. “I think those lands could be better managed by the state.”

But Dunn said he has never advocated liquidating federal lands.

Powell said he has “strongly opposed efforts in the Legislature over the last three years to transfer our cherished federal public lands to the state or for sale to private individuals.” He said he has worked on a different proposal with the BLM to see if lands the federal agency already wants to dispose of could be bought or exchanged for state trust lands and used to generate money for early childhood education programs.

Biggest challenge Powell said managing the rapid growth in oil and gas drilling and production on state trust lands is the biggest challenge for the next few years.

He wants to increase staff to handle the increased number of oil and gas leases and other energy projects.

Dunn said supporting oil and gas is critical to maximize trust land revenues for schools, provide jobs and

ease tax burdens on New Mexicans.

Dunn said the increase in revenues in the last couple of years from oil and gas were due to technological advances in production. But, “with the regulations we have imposed on ourselves as a state, we are now much less competitive with Texas and should the oil and gas industry take even a slight down-turn, New Mexico will immediately become less competitive and our revenues will drop.”

Oil and gas revenues from state trust lands totaled $778,242 million from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, the highest amount in the last seven years.

More than 2.5 million acres of trust lands are leased for oil and gas development, 700,000 acres more than under the prior land commissioner.

More than 90 percent of the money generated for the beneficiaries comes from oil and gas development on state trust land. So far this year, oil and gas revenue has accounted for more than $778 million, boosted by a boom in oil production in the Permian Basin.

Money from oil and gas leases and royalties go to the Land Grant Permanent Fund. The beneficiaries receive 5 percent of the return on the interest in the fund. The fund generated $554 million for public schools in 2012.

Baker Hughes, a company that tracks oil and gas drilling rig counts around the world as a measure of the industry’s health, noted Sept. 12 that oil rigs had risen to the highest counts since 1987 in the Permian Basin of Southern New Mexico and west Texas. Oil production tends to increase as the price of oil goes up.

Quick decision stuns court observers

By Robert Barnes The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s surprising move to pass on deciding whether state prohibitions on same-sex marriage violate the U.S. Constitution likely reflects two things about the justices: a natural inclination for incremental change and a worry on the part of conservatives that the battle — for now — appears lost.

Many observers of the court were stunned that justices passed up reviewing lower court decisions that overturned prohibitions on same-sex marriage in five states, delaying a decision that would answer the question for the nation.

Gay rights proponents took it as a sign that the court likes to move slowly when endorsing momentous societal change, that it feels no need to decide an issue before it has to — and that the court’s move provides a clear signal for future challenges of voter-approved prohibitions on same-sex marriage.

“An action like this is profound,” said Mary Bonauto, a lawyer with Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders. “I expect that lower courts will get the message.”

By allowing the lower court decisions to stand, the justices effectively extended same-sex marriage to five more states whose bans were found unconstitutional — Virginia, Utah, Oklahoma, Indiana and Wisconsin — and marriages could soon be

available in six more states, for a total of 30.

The Williams Institute at UCLA estimates that when the rollout is complete, 65 percent of gay couples and a majority of all Americans will live in a place where same-sex unions are legal.

To some, it seems impossible that that fact would have escaped the attention of the justices.

“There is something called the ‘normative power of the actual,’ ” said Walter Dellinger, a former solicitor general in the Clinton White House. “People get used to an idea over time and they come to think it’s right.” That is what will happen as more Americans see same-sex marriage as positive, or perhaps simply inconsequential, Dellinger said.

“And when the time comes, the Supreme Court will declare a right to same-sex marriage,” he added.

The news that the Supreme Court would not review constitutional decisions from federal appeals courts in Denver, Richmond and Chicago came in a most inauspicious way. It was buried in an 81-page list of cases the justices had rejected, with no explanation or recorded dissent.

“There is no way to know why the court did what it did,” said Jim Campbell, a senior attorney for Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal organization defending the state bans. “The issue is still whether people in America can continue to define marriage as between a man and a woman.”

Suzanna Sherry, a constitutional law expert at Vanderbilt, warned against interpreting something that is not there. The idea that the court had to accept the cases at this time “represents a mistaken view of the Supreme Court and its interpretation of its role.

“It is not for them to reach out to decide cases when lower courts have been unanimous so far.”

But in practice, the court has taken cases before without a split in the appeals courts, on issues far less important than the fundamental right to marry.

And it is hard to think that the action carried no strategic importance. By putting holds on marriages in Virginia and Utah — lower courts had stayed the action in other states — the court had hinted that it did not want more same-sex unions to occur until it had a chance to weigh in.

There was enormous pressure on the court to take the case. Both the winners and losers in all five states had urged the court to get involved — a flock of high-profile lawyers had written the briefs asking for review. More than 30 states and a like number of the country’s biggest companies had asked the court to settle the issue for the nation.

“I’m astonished,” said Richard Fallon, a Harvard law professor who is a student of the court. Neither side of the court’s ideological split has enough motive to insist that the issue be taken up now, he believes.

Win: Opponents say fight is not nearly over Continued from Page A-1 ing challenges to state bans; if one of them upholds such a measure, the issue could return to the high court.

But gay rights supporters said the message from the court was that it found no reason to reinstate the voter-approved bans that had been struck down in a series of rulings built from the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision invalidating part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The decision is likely to expand same-sex marriage to other states covered by the federal appeals courts that already have ruled that the bans are unconstitutional: Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Esseks questioned whether the court would allow thousands of new same-sex marriages if there was a chance it could ultimately find states have the right to define marriage as only between a man and a woman.

But opponents of same-sex marriage said the fight is not over.

“The court’s decision not to take up this issue now means that the marriage battle will continue,” said Byron Babione, senior counsel at the Alliance Defending Freedom, which has been active in defending prohibitions against same-sex marriage. “The people should decide this issue, not the courts.”

Within hours of the court’s action, same-sex couples were married in Fairfax County, Va., headed to the courthouse in Salt Lake City and issued licenses in Pueblo, Colo. Those who live in the affected states but whose marriages were performed elsewhere suddenly found themselves officially hitched in their home towns.

Kathryn Hamm and Amy Walter live in Arlington but eloped to the District of Columbia to get married in November.

Walter was in London on business when the news broke Monday morning, so Hamm texted instead of calling.

“We are officially married!!!!!!!!!!” Hamm typed.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, D, who refused to defend the state’s ban and joined challengers to overturn it, held a news conference in front of the Arlington County Courthouse to announce that same-sex couples can begin marrying.

“This is the outcome that we have hoped for, it is the outcome that we have fought for and it is the outcome that the Constitution requires,” he said.

“Today’s decision will change the lives of thousands of loving couples, their children and their families in a positive and transformative way.”

The decision by the justices not to take the cases stunned those who closely watch the court. Even though no appeals court had upheld a state ban — and such disagreements between federal circuit courts usually are precursors to Supreme Court review — the court had been asked by more than 30 states to take up the issue.

Moreover, the justices had put on hold decisions allow-

ing marriages in Virginia and Utah, which was seen as a sign the court did not want to allow more marriages until it had reviewed the issue.

Ed Whelan, an influential commentator in the conservative legal establishment, wrote that “the court’s denial of review in all the pending cases strikes me as grossly irresponsible, as a huge abdication of duty on the part of at least six justices.” At least four of the nine justices must agree in order to take up a case, although five are needed to win.

Some liberal groups also thought the court had shirked its role.

Alliance for Justice President Nan Aron said in a statement that in gay rights victories in 2013, “the Supreme Court

began to bend the arc of history toward justice on this issue. By declining to take these cases, the court passed up an opportunity to finish the job.”

There are challenges to samesex marriage prohibitions in every state. Two circuit courts, in Cincinnati and San Francisco, have heard appeals from states whose bans were struck and could rule at any time.

But Esseks said that Monday’s action indicates that it does not matter whether an appeals court rules that state prohibitions are constitutional.

“If that happened, the court will clearly take the case and decide the issue,” Esseks said.

“But [Monday’s decision] is more than a hint about what the court will do.”

In June 2013, the court struck

down part of the Defense of Marriage Act, which had denied federal recognition of same-sex marriages performed in states where it was legal. Although that decision did not touch on whether state bans were unconstitutional, a number of federal court decisions have ruled since then that the reasoning of the opinion written by Justice Anthony M. Kennedy commands such a finding.

The split in federal and state courts since last year’s ruling in U.S. v. Windsor has been 40 to 2 that state prohibitions violate the Constitution’s guarantees of due process and equal protection.

The Windsor decision was decided on a 5-to-4 vote, with the court’s liberals — Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — joining Kennedy.

Since it takes only four votes to grant review of lower-court decisions, that means at least one of those who voted no in Windsor — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — were unwilling to force the court to take up the issue now.

In his dissent in that case, Roberts made clear that the court was not passing judgment on whether the Constitution’s guarantees of due process and equal protection meant that state marriage bans were unconstitutional.

LOCAL NEWS LORRAINE GOLDMAN, 1940-2014

New Mexico candidates hit TV airwaves

Educator was a ‘champion’ for kids

Nearly $7.7 million to be spent for almost 177 hours of political TV ads

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

As a child, Lorraine Goldman was drawn to broken toys and dolls. Maybe that helped drive the lifelong educator and advocate to try to fix the public school system for most of her adult years.

Goldman died Monday morning in her Santa Fe home of cancer. She was 73. She was preceded in death by her husband, Don Goldman, who died in April.

“She had a talent for making people believe they could help … and that their actions could effect positive change,” said Goldman’s daughter, Emily.

“Lorraine was an extraordinary partner and relentless advocate for public education,”

said Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd. “I would consider her a champion for children. … I think she really had a deep-seated belief that public education was a civil right that was not to be denied.”

Goldman was born LorLorraine raine Keen in San Diego Goldman in November 1940. By her senior year in Herbert Hoover High School she was displaying a talent for getting things done as she wrote articles for her high school paper and went into the community to sell ads.

For the April 1, 1958, edition of that paper she helped fabricate an April Fool’s Day

story about how the school was going to be destroyed to make way for a freeway. She quoted real-life authorities and got an artist to create a professional rendering of what the new roadway would look like once the school was out of the way.

Students and faculty members were aghast at the news.

“We’d go to jail if we did that today,” Goldman said in an interview in early September.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of California and a master’s in linguistics at Georgetown University.

She met her husband, who was paralyzed in a skiing accident, in college. The two married in 1961.

Detainee: ‘Punished for coming’ Immigrants are facing higher bond costs; 37.8 percent pass asylum interviews in Artesia

By Sandra Fish New Mexico In Depth

With Election Day less than a month away, more New Mexico candidates will hit the airwaves in coming weeks seeking your vote.

Nearly $7.7 million is being spent for almost 177 hours of political ads in the state, according to a New Mexico In Depth analysis of new ad contracts filed last week with the Federal Communications Commission. The analysis includes ads on traditional TV stations; satellite and cable-only stations aren’t required to file with the FCC. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez continues to lead the way in ad spending, giving her party an edge over Democrats. She increased her spending by $192,000 last week. Her challenger, Democrat Gary King, has yet to schedule any October ads.

But Martinez isn’t the only statewide candidate running TV ads.

Both candidates for the open attorney general’s seat — Democrat Hector Balderas and Republican Susan Riedel — began TV advertising Sept. 19. And a super PAC will begin airing ads supporting Balderas later this week.

Republican Aubrey Dunn began running ads for his race for land commissioner in September, while incumbent Democratic Ray Powell began advertising on TV only in recent days. Dunn’s first ad features a former orchard owner slamming Powell.

GOP Secretary of State Dianna Duran scheduled her first round of ads last week to air later this month.

Her Democratic opponent Maggie Toulouse Oliver also has ads scheduled to air beginning Oct. 14.

At the federal level, incumbent Democratic Sen. Tom Udall is almost doubling the ad spending of Republican Allen Weh. The Republican increased his ad buys by almost $98,000, compared with $78,000 in new contracts for Udall.

Meanwhile, most other federal advertising continues to center on the 2nd Congressional District contest between incumbent GOP Rep. Steve Pearce and Democrat Rocky Lara, where Pearce continues to outspend his opponent.

In the 1st Congressional District, incumbent Democratic Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham began airing her first ads of the season Oct. 3. Her GOP opponent, Mike Frese bought TV time in early September but hasn’t been on the air since.

In the 3rd Congressional District, no stations have filed contracts for Democratic incumbent Rep. Ben Ray Lujan or GOP challenger Jefferson Byrd.

The AP had access to a recording of the meeting with the official, whose name or position was not identified.

The official explained to human rights activists that prolonged detention of children and mothers is “not punitive,” adding that detention is not a tool for deterring would-be immigrants, many of them who have made claims of asylum.

Instead, he said, “the deterrence is that you’re not going to come to the United States and you’re automatically here and you’ll never be removed.”

Santa Fe ski basin shuttle service still just talk Proposed route would cost $250K

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

As autumn leaf-peeping in the mountains hits full stride and another ski season approaches, talk of a shuttle serving the Santa Fe ski basin and points in between remains just talk.

The North Central Regional Transit District, which operates taxpayer-subsidized bus routes in Northern New Mexico counties including Santa Fe, continues to meet with stakeholders and study the possibility of providing transportation along the Hyde Park Road corridor.

While talks are ongoing, a new bus route is unlikely to get off the ground this year.

“It’ll be a great amenity, hope-

fully, if we can make it work,” Anthony Mortillaro, the transit district’s executive director, said Monday. “I think, though, that considering the timing of it right now, more than likely it won’t be available for the ski season.”

Mortillaro went before the Santa Fe City Council’s Public Works Committee to provide an update on the shuttle idea, which has been in discussion for years.

The proposal picked up steam last year when City Councilor Patti Bushee successfully pushed for a study of a new route that would run up Hyde Park Road to the ski basin and back.

“Lately, we’ve been trying to have a meeting with the stakeholders regarding potential cost of service for providing transit up to the ski area and contributions [from each of those stakeholders] as well,” he told councilors.

Mortillaro said there have been meetings with the pueblos of Tesuque and Nambé to get a better understanding of their concerns about the idea of public transportation up the mountain.

“There’s cultural significance to them of the area up there,” he said, “and we want to be sensitive to them.”

In an interview, Mortillaro declined to discuss the pueblos’ concerns. “I really don’t feel comfortable at this time talking about them because they were discussed with us in confidence, and I’d like to respect them,” he said.

The next meeting to discuss possible financing will be makeor-break, he said. Stakeholders, who will be asked how much they can contribute to the effort, include the city of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, Ski Santa Fe and “perhaps” the New Mexico Rail Run-

ner Express, he said.

“That’s where the rubber meets the road on this,” he said.

The shuttle service would cost an estimated $250,000 annually, he said. The transit district, which provides no-fare public transportation but considers the shuttle a “premium service,” is looking at charging a $5 roundtrip fare.

“Five bucks round-trip is not a lot of money for the convenience of being able to sit back, enjoy the ride, know that you’re going to get there safely and that you’re going to get back safely,” he said.

The proposed shuttle would operate not just in the winter months, but “almost year-round,” he said, adding that it would give people greater access to the Santa Fe National Forest.

“There’s a lot of interest in it,” he said. “A lot of folks want to see this happen.”

In brief Virgin Galactic expands with Ted Turner lodge partnership TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES — Virgin Galactic is expanding lodging and entertainment options in New Mexico for its roster of passengers who hope to one day take flight into space.

The company said Monday it’s partnering with a lodge in Truth or Consequences that is owned by media mogul Ted Turner.

Aside from lodging, the Sierra Grande Lodge and Spa will offer Virgin Galactic customers eco-safaris on Turner’s two ranches in southern New Mexico.

Combined, the ranches cover more than 800 square miles.

Spaceport America, the world’s first dedicated spaceport, is in a remote area, and the lack of luxury lodging has been an issue.

Virgin Galactic announced earlier this year it selected Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces as the preferred hotel for its customers, who will pay $250,000 a person to make the flights from the spaceport.

Seven teams to compete in New Mexico gas balloon race ALBUQUERQUE — The seven teams are scheduled to compete in the 19th America’s Challenge race for gas balloons in Albuquerque.

The teams soon will be headed to Balloon Fiesta Park to begin assembling their equipment in anticipation of a Monday evening launch.

The latest trajectory forecasts offer the competing pilots several options in planning their flights.

It’s expected the balloons will generally head east out of Albuquerque across Texas and into the southeastern U.S. However, there is an option that could potentially take the balloons on a track further northward through Missouri and eastward.

The event is part of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

Approximately 550 pilots are taking part in this year’s Balloon Fiesta, which runs until Oct. 12. The event draws tens of thousands of spectators from around the world.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: Superintendent challenges charter school without building, Oct. 5 If [Española Public Schools Superintendent Daniel Trujillo] really cared for the safety of the children, why haven’t they looked at repairing the building long before now? How much money has the school district received for housing Cariños in this location for the last four or five years? How much money was put into building improvements? If the school district agreed to housing Cariños, then as a renter they have an obligation to the safety of the building and the children. Now that the super tried to sell the property, he doesn’t want to cover the cost to make it right. While all this is going on, it will be the Cariños’ community (staff, parents and especially the kids) that will suffer the most.” D.A. What a jerk. It seems the super is doing everything possible to sabotage the charter school and as little as possible to assist them. Does anyone else get that feeling?” J.G.

LOOKING IN: JUDY ALEXANDER

Seton descendants’ case lost in court maze

M

ore than a decade ago, our family, descendants of New Mexico naturalist Ernest Thompson Seton, engaged in what has become a legal nightmare in Santa Fe. We were shocked to discover, after our mother’s death and the subsequent death of our stepfather, that title to real property that had been in our family for generations had somehow been transferred out of an irrevocable trust estate that was to have been equally shared among siblings and step-siblings.

We requested a judicial review of the trust agreement to determine if its terms had been breached. Right away, and many times since, we have been legally blocked each time in trying to hold people accountable.

In our family’s view, what started as a breach of a family trust has now also become a breach of the public trust. In an effort to seek a simple judicial review of our parents’ six-page trust agreement — an irrevocable agreement, according to the testimony of the attorney who wrote

it — our case has exploded over the past decade to include six lawsuits, 10 appeals to the New Mexico Court of Appeals, eight petitions to the U.S. Supreme Court, nearly 10,000 pages of legal argument in the public record, and, most telling of all in Santa Fe, eight judges who have recused themselves, retired or somehow needed to step aside from hearing our case.

The meaning of our trust agreement has yet to be judicially determined, as required by law. The issue of professional accountability has never been addressed.

This tar baby of legal machinations has taken months of court time and consumed attorney hours, judicial resources and other legal and administrative expenses at great cost to our family and to the New Mexico taxpayers. That attorney expertise and judicial resources are being used in an effort to block our legitimate request for a judicial review of the language in our trust agreement is an egregious abuse of professional power and public funds that these days are sorely needed for many, many

more practical uses that would actually benefit the public.

There needs to be consequences — for the fraudulent theft of property and for the costly abuse of public judicial resources in long-term defense. State law for attorneys provides stiff consequences for deceit and collusion: treble damages and possible disbarment. We are seeking enforcement of this statute with regard to our lost family property. The taxpayers should apply the same statute to the damages caused by longterm attorney abuse of judicial resources.

We would hope that with awareness of what has been undermining both our family trust and the public trust, there may be cause for Santa Fe taxpayers to use our case to rein in what is happening in your legal community. Trust should be restored.

On tipping, tongue-tied Mexicans

Grand jury: Santa Fe police shooting not justified, Oct. 3 If the shooting is not justified, why does [District Attorney Angela ‘Spence’ Pacheco] have to appoint a special prosecutor to determine if charges are warranted? Why can’t she do it herself?” O.D. Move over, Tommy [Rodella], company may be coming.” D.S. I see the New Mexico judicial system screwing up again. Roberto [Mendez] was using his vehicle as a battering ram against officers. That’s called using a deadly weapon. It seems [DA] Angela Pacheco goofed again. I hope the officers will eventually be cleared of Angela injustice.” J.S. The threat was over, you had a fleeing suspect, and at least three to four police officers on scene. Pursuit of the vehicle, OK. Shoot at the vehicle as it was leaving, not OK. The city will write a big check, with all of us pitching in our share. The officers, well, only time will tell. But if nothing happens, watch out for these two. It won’t be the last you hear about them.” D.S.

Dear Mexican: Why don’t Mexicans tip decently? I labor as a waitress in a local upscale steakhouse where, unfortunately, many Mexicans eat, and the lousy tips are starting to piss me off! … And yes: I always give good service.

Richardson blasts GOP Gov. Martinez for campaign ads, Oct. 3 Neither [Gary] King nor [Susana] Martinez has charisma. Their speeches appear very dull to say the least. The only reason Martinez will win will be because of the $4 million war chest she has accumulated. If either wins, we will have another four years of dull speeches and no action on the important issues facing the state of New Mexico and its citizens. J.M. Susana will win because, as you probably know, there are many places in Northern New Mexico where people would vote for a ham sandwich with an Hispanic surname, or even a half Hispanic heritage, like Bill.” M.J. I worked for the state during the eight-year tenure of Richardson’s administration. During that time, I saw all the money that was thrown away on unqualified exempt employees, friends of Bill. They would walk around the agency causing havoc and trying to change things they had no clue about. … So, if Gary King were somehow to win, this is the type of environment to which state employees will return. You will see a lot of recycled trash. … Martinez obviously doesn’t have many accomplishments to run on, but corruption is much less rampant in state government now. It exists like it always will, but it is much less. If I have to vote for one of these unqualified candidates, I guess I will be sticking with Susana again.” T.H.

LOOKING IN: DR. JOSEPH PERRONE

Inside the science behind the headlines D o Americans take female-named hurricanes less seriously than those with male names? Is your sunscreen or birth control giving you cancer?

Are organic foods really more nutritious?

If you’ve read the news lately, chances are you’d answer “yes” to these questions even though the scientific research behind those news stories doesn’t necessarily support those conclusions. But before you chuck your sunscreen or birth control pills, it’s important to take the time to evaluate the research behind the headlines.

Of course, that’s easier said than done.

Most research papers are dense and written to be read by fellow scientists. Determining just how strong a study’s findings are, or looking for flaws in study design, isn’t easy for the casual reader. It’s not even that easy for science journalists who are trying to report on a wide array of topics, from chemistry to biology to nutrition, while coping with fewer resources as traditional media outlets suffer budget cuts.

But even if you don’t have the time or the expertise to sift through piles of research, you can certainly use common sense and a basic understanding of science to make scientifically sound health decisions.

For instance, consider whether the study is an outlier — does it run counter to the vast majority of scientific research on a particular topic? As a general rule of thumb, trusting the scientific consensus is advisable.

In the case of sunscreen, on one hand, activists at the Environmental Working Group claim that the majority of sunscreens on the market in the United States contain ingredients that cause cancer or reproductive harm. On the other hand is the American Academy of Dermatology and the Food and Drug Administration, which stand by sunscreen’s safety and urge consumers to use the product to protect from skin cancer — a much larger threat.

When it comes to organic foods versus

genetically modified foods, the scientific consensus overwhelmingly says that nutritionally they’re essentially the same, and genetically modified foods are perfectly safe to eat. Scientists all over the globe, including those with the World Health Organization, European Union and FDA, agree.

You should also consider the source of your information. In many cases, the scary headlines popping up on your Facebook or Twitter feeds about the new danger discovered in some consumer product are coming from a blogger that probably isn’t accurately reporting the study’s actual findings. It’s unlikely that they’ve read the actual research, or they’re citing research that wasn’t peer-reviewed (research that’s vetted by other scientists before it’s published).

Trusting these sources can have serious public health implications. There are still a number of widely read bloggers, celebrities and activist groups that regularly talk about the supposed danger of vaccinations despite the fact that there’s no evidence that vaccinations cause autism or the other scary ailments linked to them.

What the medical and scientific community overwhelmingly says is that refusing vaccinations has led to an uptick in diseases that were once largely eradicated in the U.S. So the next time you see a link on social media or a segment on Dr. Oz warning you that some everyday item or medicine is killing you, take a step back and examine the research behind those sensationalist claims. A little education is the cure for the common headline.

Dr. Joseph Perrone is the Chief Science Officer at the Center for Accountability in Science in Washington, D.C., a project of the nonprofit Center for Organizational Research and Education. CORE is supported by a wide variety of businesses and foundations, including those in the hospitality, agriculture and energy industries.

In many cases, the scary headlines popping up on your Facebook or Twitter feeds about the new danger discovered in some consumer product are coming from a blogger that probably isn’t accurately reporting the study’s actual findings.

Dear Gabacho: Let’s consult the findings of Cornell University professor Michael Lynn, the country’s premier scholar on tipping. In a 2003 study titled “Ethnic Differences in Tipping: Evidence, Explanations and Implications,” Lynn examined the long-standing Gustavo claims by waitArellano ers that minori¡Ask a Mexican! ties tip less than gabachos.

He analyzed the responses of nearly 2,000 eaters in Houston and found that not only did “Hispanics” (really Mexicans, since Houston’s Latino community is nearly three-quarters Mexican) tip as well as gabachos, they usually tipped better. Mexicans, according to Lynn, “increased their percentage tips with service … more than did whites.” Lynn offered no explanation for his findings, but I will: Mexicans leave a little extra not out of a perceived social obligation but for a job well done — which includes how caliente the chica is.

When Mexicans go to eateries where the waitresses dress more conservatively, the tips usually dry up. Want a little extra, Too Many Wabs? Bring us a bottle of Tapatío — not Tabasco — without prompting. And get some ass implants.

Dear Mexican: Why do Mexicans pronounce “shower” as “chower” but “chicken” as “shicken”?

Vietnamese About to Orate Dear Chinito: This column has provided readers with many indicators of the differences between recently arrived Mexicans and los que have lived here for generations: skin tone, car purchases, whether the Mexican in question flushes his soiled toilet paper or tosses it in the trash can. Another sure-fire way is the ch/sh phonetic test. Proper Spanish doesn’t feature a “sh” sound (known among linguists as a linguapalatal fricative), so Mexicans pronounce English words using an “sh” sound with the harsher “ch” (known as a lingualveolar affricate). However, many indigenous Mexican tongues use linguapalatal fricatives. The most famous example is in the original pronunciation of Mexico: as said in Nahuatl, the word sounds like “meh-shee-ko.” The Spaniards couldn’t pronounce the middle consonant, though, instead substituting a guttural “j” (as in “Mehhee-ko”) early in the Conquest. They killed most of Mexico’s Indians in the ensuing decades, but the indigenous “sh” sound never wholly disappeared: If you do hear a Mexican using “sh,” it’s probably a Mexican Indian. So next time you hear a Mexican ask for a “Shinese shicken sandwish with Sheddar sheese,” VATO, por favor don’t shortle. …

It’s training day for Secret Service

A

new recruit, Brad, arrives at the Secret Service headquarters.

He is fit and motivated and has taken the liberty of getting himself an earpiece and some of those dark glasses he has seen agents wearing in movies.

A Secret Service manager strolls over.

Manager: You the new guy?

Brad: That’s right.

Manager: Great. Come in here. We just have to review this one test you took before you get to join the presidential security detail. Shouldn’t take long.

Brad: Sir, may I just say again what an honor and privilege this will … .

Manager: (pulls a meatball sandwich out of his holster) Sure you can. OK. So let’s just talk about your responses to some of the simulations.

Brad: I did my best, I’m sorry if there was anything … .

Manager: See, right here, it said, “If you meet a woman in a hotel bar, and you want to impress her, what is a good thing to do?” You wrote, “Stay sober and be professional.”

But remember: You’re in a bar, and there’s a woman. Think, Brad. What if you wind up in her room later? Is there something you might give her?

Brad: Uh, a respectful handshake?

Manager: Brad. Brad. Brad.

No. A bullet from your service weapon.

Brad: OK (takes notes).

Wow, isn’t that a little dange … .

Manager: Question two asks: “You’re on a detail, traveling to a foreign country in advance of the president.

What should you do?” You wrote, “Familiarize myself with the terrain and any threats.” I gave you partial credit, because this is correct but not specific enough. What you should have said instead of terrain was “bars.”

Brad: Familiarize myself with the bars and the threats?

Manager: No, just the bars.

It’s really less an advance team than it is a pre-game.

Last chance to register

F

O’Keeffe painting should stay in museum

or people who love waiting until the last minute — today, Oct. 7, is it, the last opportunity to register to vote for the November general election. Either register now or lose out on the opportunity to cast a ballot for U.S. Senate, governor, U.S. Congress, a host of other offices, bonds and constitutional amendments.

There’s an extra incentive for anyone who did wait until the last possible moment to register to vote. Oct. 7 is also the date on which county clerks across New Mexico can begin sending out absentee ballots, as well as the date that voters can stop by the clerk’s office to vote absentee in person. On this day only, New Mexico has what is, in essence, same-day voter registration. That’s right, stop by the clerk’s office, register to vote and then grab a ballot and mark your choices. It couldn’t be easier. (In Santa Fe, the county clerk’s office is at 102 Grant Ave.) In this age of moneyed interests dominating political campaigns, many an average voter has become cynical about whether participation matters. We believe voting is both a right and a responsibility. Without greater participation, only a minority of citizens gets a say in who is elected and what issues they will tackle once in office.

Anyone cynical about the need to vote should be encouraged by recent events in Ferguson, Mo. Ferguson, you might recall, is the city in Missouri where a police officer shot an unarmed black teenager earlier this year. The subsequent protests, examination of police actions and attention to race relations have scarcely died down since the death of Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

What also has occurred in Ferguson should give lovers of democracy a boost. Since Brown’s death, voter registration in Ferguson is up almost 30 percent. In the last municipal election, voter turnout was just 12 percent. In a city that is 60 percent black, all the elected officials are white. It’s no wonder the city has a police force that is out of touch with residents. Ferguson residents have decided to move from protesting to voting as a means of making a difference.

Registering to vote is the first step. Then comes voting and holding elected officials accountable. It’s convenient, too, with in-person absentee voting starting Oct. 7 (you can also request a ballot, either online or in person, beginning Oct. 7) and early voting beginning Oct. 18, before the actual Election Day on Nov. 4. There are many opportunities to have your voice heard.

Don’t listen to the cynics. Voting matters. If it didn’t, power-hungry politicians and special interests wouldn’t work to restrict voter access. The fewer electoral participants, the more power in the hands of the few. Change that equation and register to vote — together, people can make change happen.

The past 100 years

(Another agent opens the door and high-fives him.)

Manager: That guy was in the Netherlands with me. I do not remember that week at all.

Next question: “The president is arriving in Martha’s Vineyard. Do you: A) continue to provide sober and reliable service to POTUS to the best of your ability; B) start bar fights; C) attend house parties; D) Start bar fights and attend house parties!” You wrote A. The correct answer was D. A good way of remembering this is to think spring break!

(Yet another agent sticks his heads in the door.) Other Agent: Was someone talking about the Vineyard?

Manager: Spring break!

Agent: Spring break!

(They chest-bump. The other agent plunks a 40 of Colt 45 down on the desk.)

Agent: Drink up, rookie.

Brad: I’d really rather not.

Manager: Moving along, “If you’re on a Secret Service detail to Colombia, should you spend the evening drinking heavily and carousing with prostitutes?” and you wrote, “No.” Brad: Right.

Manager: Listen to that again: You are in Colombia — Colombia — and some prostitutes want to drink and carouse with you.

Brad: No, see, I got that, I just don’t think it’s …

Manager: Brad, you seem like a nice kid. But you need to think. OK, next question: “You realize there’s a guy in the elevator with President Obama who has a criminal record and a firearm. What do you do? And you wrote, “D: Immediately remove him and tell your superiors about the mistake.”

Brad: I have to confess that by that point I was convinced that none of these were real questions.

Manager: The correct answer was “C: It’s not cool, but definitely don’t tell anyone in management about it because it will just make us nervous, and some of us have weak hearts.”

Brad: Wait, were all of these serious questions — Manager: (picking up the Colt 45) Look, if you’re not going to drink this, I will. Now, this question says, “Should the Secret Service be run ‘more

like Disney World?’ and you wrote “No” and then next to it you wrote, “What is this question, some kind of joke?” The correct answer was “Yes.” Brad: OK. Wow. In the sense that Disney is a very tight ship where few accidents are allowed to occur?

Manager: No. In the sense that Disney is friendly and open and welcoming. (hiccups) And sometimes people are drunk there.

Brad: OK. Wow. Manager: Just think of this as an awesome chance to make new friends, see the world, get drunk in it, and sometimes the president of the United States is there!

How cool is that?

Brad: What about “protect and serve”?

Manager: (sighs) See, you’re new to this whole thing. Some people still say that. Those people are lame and nobody wants to drink with them.

Don’t be like them.

Meddling by court Every woman should have access to the contraception that is most affordable to her. The Supreme Court has no right to decide this for women. And it is incredibly insulting to know that Viagra is still being covered under health insurance. This high court should be impeached at once. The vast majority of women who use contraception are religious or spiritual, but not every religion opposes contraception.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Oct. 7, 1914: Naco, Sonora, Mexico — Pot-shooting by both sides opened the third day of the battle of Naco today. Governor José Maytorena’s troops so far have made no progress. General Hill, commanding the Carranzista garrison, reported his losses up to daylight today as six killed and eight wounded. Hill’s scouts reported this morning that Maytorena was disposing his troops in a manner indicating an intention to attack the town in front. This would materially increase the danger to life on the American side of the line, particularly as the attackers have displayed a consistent lack of marksmanship.

Naco, Ariz. — Private Wilson of Troop G, tenth United States cavalry, who was wounded by a stray Mexican bullet yesterday, was taken to Fort Huachuca today. His wound is said to be slight.

Oct. 7, 1964: Truth or Consequences — A 19-year-old Grants youth awoke about 3:30 a.m. today, leaped from his car and watched the vehicle hurtle more than 600 feet into Nogal Canyon.

John Benjamin Hall was traveling north on U.S. 85 just north of the Sierra-Socorro county line when he apparently dozed at the wheel, he said. Hall said he opened his eyes and saw the car was on the shoulder of the road. At the same time, he said, he couldn’t see any ground under the car’s headlight beams so he opened the door and jumped.

Oct. 7, 1989: A new type of road gravel has left some motorists in the dust. Purchased early this summer for use on roads in the Eldorado and La Cienega areas, the gravel is stirred into thick clouds of white dust as cars pass over it, residents of those areas have complained to county officials. County officials say the problem is caused by the way the gravel was applied. “We just needed to learn how to use it,” County Field Operations Director Ron Martinez said.

Can it survive the tablet trend?

By Brandon Bailey The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO ersonal computer sales have been in a slump for years, as customers flock to increasingly powerful smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. Now Hewlett-Packard, the Silicon Valley stalwart that was once the world’s biggest seller of personal computers, is splitting off its PC and printing businesses. It’s the latest shakeup in a tech industry that’s being reshaped by the mobile revolution.

IBM sold its PC business years ago. Dell took its struggles private. Can an HP spinoff focused on personal computing thrive?

“There’s a significant transformation going on in that industry, and maybe now HP can make its move,” said Forrester tech analyst Peter Burris, one of several analysts who say the iconic tech giant will need to get better at building and selling mobile gadgets if it wants the new spinoff to succeed. HP has stumbled in previous efforts to sell those devices.

HP’s split is a sign that CEO Meg Whitman sees more growth and profit opportunity in selling commercial tech products, including datacenter hardware, business software and cloud services, some analysts say. That’s the business she plans to lead, as chief executive of a new company dubbed Hewlett-Packard Enterprise.

That puts more pressure on the HP Inc. spinoff, which will be led by current PC and printing executive Dion Weisler as CEO. Though it was once the world leader in both segments, HP is now No. 2 to China’s Lenovo in PC sales.

Tablets now out-sell laptop computers. And no other major U.S. tech company is focused on selling only PCs. Apple Inc.’s growth in recent years has been fueled by the phenomenal success of its iPhone and iPad devices. Dell also sells commercial computer hardware and software.

Even Lenovo is purchasing IBM’s server business and taking over the Motorola smartphone division from Google Inc. PC sales aren’t going away entirely, to be sure. There are still some cases where PCs are more useful than smallerscreen devices, especially in the workplace, said Bob O’Donnell of TECHnalysis Research. The industry sold more than 310 million desktop and laptop computers last year, and one out of six were sold by Palo Alto, Calif.-based HP. But global sales fell 10 percent in 2013 and are likely to fall another 4 percent this year, according to the IDC research firm. PC sales should level off in 2015, forecasts O’Donnell.

“They can be profitable,” he said, “but it’s a stable, flat kind

P

of market.”

Printer ink has been a major source of profit for HP in years past. But printing also is a stagnatMeg ing business, Whitman as more people store photos and files online and view them primarily on their phones and tablets. Even so, tying the printing business to PCs should provide a stable source of revenue for HP Inc. for some years to come, said tech analyst Patrick Moorhead of Moor Insights and Strategy.

HP also could expand that business to include 3D printing systems and home networks for Internet-enabled thermostats and other gadgets, since many printers today are part of a home network, he added.

Jettisoning PCs doesn’t necessarily make Hewlett-Packard Enterprise is a slam dunk.

Analysts say HP has some good data-center products, but Whitman faces challenges in upgrading its commercial software and technology services businesses.

“Does this mean a new dawn is here for Palo Alto?” asked Burris. “No, it doesn’t.

It means that HP is going to have to do a lot of hard work to prove itself.”

Hewlett-Packard has posted revenue declines in 11 of the past 12 quarters and laid off tens of thousands of people in recent years as it attempts to cut costs. During its most recent quarter HP reported revenue of $27.6 billion, a 1 percent annual gain. It marked HP’s first year-overyear increase in quarterly revenue since late 2011. Printers and PCs contributed roughly half the company’s annual revenue, with the rest coming from commercial computer systems, software and technology services.

HP first considered breaking off the PC unit three years ago, when Leo Apotheker was CEO. But the idea was controversial and Whitman rejected it after she took his place in 2011 and launched a lengthy turnaround. She said Monday that HP has now shored up its business enough to support the split. The company believes the two new units will be worth more separately and be able to grow more quickly apart than they can together.

HP is expected to complete its latest round of layoffs, between 11,000 to 16,000 people, this month. Total job cuts will now stand at 55,000, up from a planned 50,000.

In an interview with CNBC Monday, Whitman left open the possibility for further layoffs as the separate businesses determine their cost structure going forward.

HP shares rose almost 5 percent to close at $36.87.

The stock is up nearly 32 percent since the beginning of the year.

UNM FOOTBALL

Lobos’ QB question lingers ahead of Friday game

By Will Webber The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — Barely four games into his college career, it’s apparent that freshman quarterback Lamar Jordan is the future of Lobo football.

Whether that means he’ll get his first career start when The University of New Mexico (2-3 overall, 0-1 Mountain West) hosts San Diego State (2-3, 0-1) on Friday night remains to be seen.

Asked who will start when the Aztecs visit for a nationally televised contest, head coach Bob Davie told the assembled media during Monday’s Lamar Jordan weekly press gathering at University Stadium that he hasn’t decided. At least, not entirely.

“I thought you guys would go there,” he said with a laugh. “You probably

know what I’m going to say. I’ve said it so many times, and that I’m not sure it really matters. If I had to say right now, it would be Cole [Gautsche].”

A junior, Gautsche has started three

of the team’s five games while skipping the other two because of injury.

He got the nod in last weekend’s win at UT-San Antonio but played only two series before Jordan took over and finished things out.

All Jordan did was surpass the century mark in the rushing department while leading the Lobos to their second straight road win. They have yet to win a game at home.

Davie said that Gautsche is clearly the better fit in UNM’s triple option attack, but Jordan brings a sense of

Seahawks beat the Redskins Seattle hampered by numerous penalties

Contracts run through 2024-25 season NEW YORK — The NBA and its television partners couldn’t wait to extend their contracts.

The league renewed its deals with ESPN and TNT even though two seasons remain on the old ones.

With potential competition from Fox looming, both networks were willing to pay generously to secure the rights long term.

The NBA’s annual revenue from the agreements will increase from $930 million to more than $2.6 billion, according to a person familiar with the terms. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Adam Silver Press because the league did not announce financial figures.

“We ultimately made a decision that this was the right time to go,” Commissioner Adam Silver said at a news conference Monday. “These are extraordinarily healthy deals financially.”

The contracts will run an additional nine years through the 202425 season. The previous eight-year agreements end after 2015-16.

“We believe at the end of the deal it will feel inexpensive,” ESPN President John Skipper said. “It’s hard to imagine.”

What was painful to imagine for both companies was life without the NBA. “Each year the playoffs help TNT win nights of television during allimportant May sweeps,” said David Levy, president of Turner Broadcasting System.

The basics won’t change: The NBA Finals remain on ABC, ESPN’s broadcast partner. ESPN/ABC and TNT will continue to split the conference finals.

Broadcasting rights fees have been skyrocketing across all sports as live events become increasingly valuable to advertisers. Few viewers will DVR an NBA game, which means they can’t fast-forward through the commercials.

“There’s never been a better time to be an owner of an NBA franchise — or, frankly, any professional sports team,” said Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, chairman of the league’s media committee.

Especially after 24-hour sports cable channel Fox Sports 1 launched last year. With so many rights locked up in long deals, the NBA was the biggest property coming up in the short term.

The league has relationships with both Fox and Comcast, NBC’s parent company, which locally televise teams’ games on their regional sports networks. If the national contract had gone to the open market, NBC also could have pursued a return to NBA coverage to boost its 24-hour sports cable channel, NBCSN. Silver said the league took into

swagger and leadership that his team so badly craves.

“I guess the word ‘moxie,’ maybe,” is what Davie said when asked about what Jordan brings to the table. “He’s competitive, kinda takes charge of things.”

Davie pointed to a single play in the UTSA win in which Jordan was told to run a swing pass to receiver Teriyon Gipson on third-and-16. If the play didn’t immediately develop as

LOUIS olten Wong hit a two-run homer to snap a seventhinning tie, Matt Carpenter went deep for the third straight game and John Lackey lived up to his big-game reputation as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in their bestof-five NL Division Series.

K

Facing elimination in St. Louis for the second consecutive postseason, the Dodgers will turn to ace Clayton Kershaw on short rest Tuesday night in Game 4. Shelby Miller makes his first career postseason start for the Cardinals, one win from a fourth straight trip to the NL Championship Series.

The Cardinals finished off Los Angeles in a six-game NLCS last fall, knocking out Kershaw in the fifth inning of a 9-0 blowout in the

final game.

Two runners reached against Trevor Rosenthal in the ninth before he earned his second save of the series — with an assist from the grounds crew on a rainy night.

With two runners on, Rosenthal missed badly on consecutive pitches to Juan Uribe. Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina and manager Mike Matheny went to the mound, and Matheny motioned

Doug Fister keeps Nationals’ postseason hopes alive

By Janie McCauley The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Eye black and uniform still on, Bryce Harper emerged from a different kind of fog than typically seen in San Francisco. This was the celebratory stuff from a Nationals victory party, and he had earned it, all right.

Harper screamed out in delight as he crossed the plate with Washington ahead at last. After all those extra innings and a subdued crosscountry flight, the Nationals had broken through — with some help from Madison Bumgarner’s big blunder.

Doug Fister pitched seven shutout innings and the Nationals capitalized on Bumgarner’s one offtarget throw, staving off elimination in the NL Division Series with a 4-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday.

“Being able to get that momentum swing to us a little bit is definitely huge,” said Harper, who also made a difficult running catch in the gap.

LANDOVER, Md. — For nearly a half, Seattle’s penalty yards outnumbered Washington’s total yards.

Those selfSeahawks 27 inflicted wounds, more than anyRedskins 17 thing, kept the Monday night game as close as it was.

Russell Wilson rushed for a careerhigh 122 yards on 11 carries, and the Seahawks survived their “neutral zone infractions,” holds, false starts and other miscues in a 27-17 win over the Redskins, extending Seattle’s tradition of dominance in prime time while handing Washington another deflating moment under the lights.

Wilson also completed 18 of 24 passes for 201 yards with two touchdowns for the Seahawks (3-1), who displayed an uncharacteristic lack of crispness coming off their bye. Seattle committed 13 penalties for 90 yards, including a holding, false start and unsportsmanlike conduct calls that wiped out three potential touchdowns by Percy Harvin.

How bad was the Seahawks’ penalty bug? It wasn’t until a 4-yard run

by Alfred Morris with three minutes left in the first half that the Redskins’ total yards (47) passed Seattle’s penalty yards (45) for good.

Marshawn Lynch ran for 72 yards on 17 carries and didn’t enter the game until the Seahawks’ second series. He stood on the sideline, helmet on, during the first drive, and the team did not make an in-game announcement regarding any sort of injury to its leading rusher.

Seattle improved to an NFL-best 21-8 on Monday nights, including nine wins in a row. The team is also 11-1 in prime time under coach Pete Carroll. Washington (1-4), meanwhile,

USA Swimming suspends Michael Phelps for 6 months USA Swimming has suspended Michael Phelps for six months, forced him to withdraw from next year’s world championships and taken away his funding from the sport’s national governing body as a result of the Olympic champion’s second DUI arrest.

The sanctions announced Monday won’t keep Phelps from training with his North Baltimore club, but he won’t be allowed to participate in USA Swimming-sanctioned meets through March 6, 2015. Phelps and USA Swimming also agreed that he won’t compete in the world swimming championships in Russia next July. His monthly funding stipends will be stopped during the suspension.

Phelps announced he was entering a six-week, in-patient program last weekend, a week after he was arrested and charged with drunken driving in his hometown of Baltimore.

Cards: Kershaw to start game 4 Continued from Page B-1 toward plate umpire Dale Scott.

The grounds crew was called out to apply a drying agent and rake the mound. Rosenthal threw a pair of practice pitches and found his footing, retiring the next two batters on flies to right for his sixth career postseason save.

Hanley Ramirez had three of the Dodgers’ seven hits, including an RBI double in the sixth.

St. Louis hit 105 homers in the regular season, the secondlowest total in the majors, ahead of only Kansas City.

But the Cardinals have shown plenty of power in the playoffs.

Carpenter connected in the third and then Wong, the rookie second baseman who was picked off to end a World Series loss against Boston last year, hit a two-run shot off

loser Scott Elbert to put the Cardinals ahead 3-1.

“The season is so long. I never anticipated how long a full major league season is,” Wong said. “Just ups and downs of not producing and getting hurt really struck me hard this year, but all in all it was a great year. I learned a lot and I’m just excited to be here right now.”

Carpenter and Albert Pujols are the only Cardinals players to homer in three consecutive postseason games. Pujols did it in 2004, the first two in the NL Division Series and the third in the NLCS. Heavy rain fell briefly in the bottom of the seventh, when Molina greeted Elbert with a double for his second hit.

Molina advanced on a sacrifice before Wong drove the next pitch into the Cardinals’ bullpen in right-center.

Carpenter had eight homers in the regular season and had never connected in consecutive games before these playoffs.

He hammered a 1-2 pitch from Hyun-Jin Ryu over the rightcenter wall leading off the third.

The Cardinals tied for the NL lead with 51 home wins while the Dodgers were the best road team at 49-32.

Yasiel Puig struck out in seven consecutive at-bats before hitting a leadoff triple in the sixth. Lackey almost got out of it, getting Adrian Gonzalez on a fly to shallow left and striking out Matt Kemp before Ramirez doubled to tie it.

Before the game, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly announced Kershaw will start Game 4 on three days’ rest instead of Dan Haren, the only way Los Angeles has a chance to get two starts apiece in the series out of its twin aces.

Lobos: Both QBs may take field Continued from Page B-1 the coaches had hoped, Jordan was instructed to throw the ball away.

The play didn’t develop, but Jordan made the pass to get the first down anyway.

What impressed Davie most was Jordan’s reaction when the two spoke just moments before on the sideline. He turned to his head coach and said he had things under control.

“He said ‘I got this,’ ” Davie said. “You know, that’s him. He wants to take it over and I think people respond to that.”

So while Gautsche’s impact on the UNM program is undeniable — he is already 18th on the school’s career rushing list despite his laundry list of injuries — the fact that Jordan is proving to be so effective so early is truly hard to ignore.

With a visit from SDSU and former Lobos head coach Rocky Long just days away, Davie said he’s willing to give Gautsche the nod for now. Regardless of how things shake out, Jordan will be on the field at some point.

And when that happens, what, then, does Davie do with Gautsche? Now that running back Crusoe Gongbay’s career is likely over with a foot injury, the head coach didn’t rule out having Gautsche take over as the primary dive back in UNM’s option attack.

The dive back is just that — he takes the handoff and generally shoots straight into the middle of the line while the rest of the offense splits out to the right or left.

“I don’t know,” Davie said. “We’ll have to figure it all out.”

Nationals: Bumgarner miscue prevents three-game sweep Continued from Page B-1 homer in the ninth.

Drew Storen allowed the first two batters to reach in the bottom of the ninth but shook off his postseason struggles, allowing a run in closing it out as Washington forced a Game 4 on Tuesday night.

Now, the 96-win Nationals will send left-hander Gio Gonzalez up against San Francisco right-hander Ryan Vogelsong, hoping to pull out the fog machine they used after wins all season one more time.

“We just needed one break,” Storen said. “It’s been a tough couple innings here to start and we got our break.

It’s just a matter of building on it, and we live to see another day.”

On a day Bumgarner had been nearly untouchable, his own miscue prevented a three-game sweep.

Bumgarner fielded Wilson Ramos’ two-strike sacrifice bunt between the mound and the first-base line and fired to third rather than going for the sure out at first.

“We probably should have taken the out of first. I made a mistake telling him to throw to third,” catcher Buster Posey said. “It happens.”

Bumgarner’s throw sailed wide of Pablo Sandoval’s outstretched glove and bounced all the way to the tarp along the left-field wall before rolling over the bullpen mounds where two relievers were warming up.

Sandoval nearly did the

splits trying to make the play and stayed down in pain as the two runs scored. Trainers checked on the third baseman and he remained in the game.

“That was an important play right now. In my mind I was like, ‘I have to do it, have to do it,’ ” Ramos said. “For me, that changed the whole game. Bumgarner threw a really good game. Those little things happen in games. If we do the little things, we’ll have an opportunity to win this series.”

Asdrubal Cabrera followed with an RBI single. He spent the final eight innings watching the Giants’ 2-1, 18-inning victory Saturday night after his ejection for arguing a called third strike.

Fister outpitched Bumgarner at AT&T Park for the second time in four months after a June gem, leaving behind the frightening memory of his October outing here in Game 2 of the 2012 World Series.

Fister took a line drive to the right side of his head that day — while also opposing Bumgarner — but stayed in the game and carried a shutout into the seventh before Detroit lost 2-0 and was swept.

Fister hardly needed that Japanese good luck figurine that appeared in the NL East champions’ dugout Monday morning courtesy of backup catcher Jose Lobaton. The right-hander, who grew up about two hours away in the Central Valley city of Merced, gave up four hits, struck out three and walked three.

Storen, the beleaguered

closer who gave up the tying run in Game 2, allowed Brandon Crawford’s sacrifice fly in the ninth before finishing the 2-hour, 47-minute game.

It was a far cry from Game 2, which took a postseasonrecord 6:23.

Five days after pitching a four-hitter in an 8-0 wild-card win at Pittsburgh, Bumgarner was on a roll again, this time for the orange towel-waving sellout home crowd of 43,627.

Ian Desmond singled to start the decisive seventh and Harper walked to bring up Ramos, who began the season as the Nationals’ cleanup hitter. Harper slid into home for the second run, hopped up and hollered in triumph.

Bumgarner hadn’t given up a postseason run since Carlos Beltran homered in the fourth inning of the Giants’ Game 1 loss of the 2012 NLCS in St. Louis.

“I thought we probably had a shot,” Bumgarner said of playing Ramos’ bunt. “We were in a really good spot coming into this one.”

Sandoval extended his postseason hitting streak to 14 games with a leadoff single in the second, the longest streak in Giants postseason history and currently in baseball.

Brandon Belt was caught stealing in the fourth, only the second time anyone tried to steal against Fister all year.

Anthony Rendon had two more hits and is 7 for 15 this series, while the rest of the Nationals starters minus the pitcher are 13 for 96 (.135).

NFL

A month in and no unbeaten teams left

By Barry Wilner The Associated Press

After lopsided losses Sunday by Arizona and Cincinnati, it’s become more evident than ever that perfection is virtually unattainable in the NFL. Yes, we recall 2007 and how the Patriots came perhaps within a fluke catch by a third-string Giants receiver of 17-0 and a championship.

Times have changed even in that short span, though, and there are far fewer haves in the current NFL than have-nots.

This could be one of those seasons when 12 wins is a spectacular record. Most likely, we’ll see division winners with marks much closer to .500 than to 16 wins.

No less an authority than Tom Brady recognizes that.

“I think we’ve always done a great job putting losses behind us quickly and trying to move forward,” Brady said after his Patriots quieted the skeptics — for now — by routing the Bengals.

“It doesn’t always go right. In football season you don’t always go undefeated every year. You’re trying to build something; we’re trying to build something that is going to be tough to compete with.”

Coaches, general managers, players, just about everyone involved in any team sport say the same things. The idea, of course, is to be good enough to get to the postseason, then to be great.

There are loads of examples from recent years, including the Giants who stunned the Patriots to win the title after the 2007 season: a wild-card team that won three road playoff games.

Green Bay did the same thing three years later. Pittsburgh had done it in 2005.

After the Cardinals and Bengals fell, it made for the earliest in an NFL schedule that no unbeatens remained, tying with 2010.

Why is a zero in the loss column — or even a 1 — so difficult to attain? The last team to win the Super Bowl with only one loss during the season, incidentally, was Chicago after the 1985 season.

Among the factors that almost guarantee no NFL team will achieve a spotless record any time soon: u Clichés. You know, the “any given Sunday” stuff. Well, in pro football it’s a truism. The talent levels on a majority of the teams are very similar. So a middle of

the road club, one competing for a wild card if not a division title, can rise up and pull off an upset at any time. u Weather. As the NFL gets deeper into the schedule, where games are played becomes extra important. That’s particularly true for indoor teams and those from warmer climes who wind up in Chicago or Buffalo or Cleveland in November and December. u Matchups. A team such as the Broncos might be a matchup nightmare for most other opponents. But not for the Chargers, who gave Denver fits in 2013 even as Peyton Manning and company were headed to the Super Bowl. u Unfamiliarity. Coaches often say one of their biggest challenges is preparing for opposition they rarely see. The NFL’s revolving schedule means AFC and NFC teams meet once every four years. The Seahawks the NFC East faced in 2010 look nothing like the current Seahawks.

OK, maybe the winless Raiders haven’t changed much in four years, but we’re discussing winners here.

u Complacency. If a team, even an undefeated one, clinches its division and then the best conference record, it tends to pull back a bit with nothing to really play for. If an opponent has everything to go for, well, the playing field has been leveled. The Colts of 2009 come to mind.

Plus, teams already in position for their playoff runs want to avoid … u Injuries. Nothing in the NFL evens out the competition more than injuries, particularly when they hit either star players or a specific unit. Late in the year, when the bodies are most sore, yet the prize is within sight, teams will do anything necessary to protect their key performers.

Even undefeated teams.

At the other end of the standings are the Jaguars (0-5) and Raiders (0-4). It seems almost unfathomable in this age of relative parity that a team could go winless, as Detroit did in 2008. One thing is for sure: Jacksonville and Oakland still have a chance at 0-16. But there won’t be any 16-0 records this year, and most likely not for a long time to come.

Seahawks: 3 Harvin TDs erased by flags Continued from Page B-1 has dropped seven straight in prime time and is 4-15 on Monday nights since 2000.

The Redskins punted eight times, and two deep passes to DeSean Jackson accounted for 137 of the offense’s 307 total yards. Jackson beat Kam Chancellor for a 60-yard touchdown catch that cut Seattle’s lead to 17-7 late in the first half, and his 57-yard reception set up a field goal that made it 17-10 early in the third quarter. Jackson finished with five catches for 157 yards.

Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 36 passes for 283 yards and dropped to 1-6 in his career as a Redskins starter. Robert Griffin III missed a third consecutive game with a dislocated left ankle, but he made a cameo appearance before the game, wearing a skin-tight white shirt and pink sleeve on his left arm as he threw passes to Jordan Reed — who is also injured — on the sideline.

Wilson had plenty of green in front of him in the first half, whether it was a designed run or a scramble out of the pocket.

Northern New Mexico

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, left, escapes the grasp of Washington Redskins strong safety Bashaud Breeland during the first half of Monday’s game in Landover, Md. NICK WASS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

He had rushes of 16, 29, 13 and 22 in the first two drives. He headed for the pylon on a clinical zone-read run for a 9-yard score in the second quarter, giving Seattle a 17-point lead.

It would have been 21-0 if either of Harvin’s touchdowns — on back-to-back plays — had counted in the first half. First, his 16-yard run to the end zone was wiped out by holding on left guard James Carpenter, then his 26-yard catch-and-run

was negated by a flag for a false start on Harvin himself, a penalty that gum-chomping Carroll wandered onto the turf to argue.

Early in the fourth quarter, Wilson hit a wide-open Harvin for an apparent 41-yard score, but Carpenter was cited because he “hit a player on the ground unnecessarily,” according to the announcement by referee Jeff Triplette. Carpenter was guilty of blocking a Red-

skins player who was already on the ground.

At least the Seahawks managed to recover from that setback. Wilson scrambled every which way — and nearly past the line of scrimmage before retreating — and hit Luke Willson for a 19-yard gain, and punter-holder Jon Ryan ran 5 yards on a fake field goal on fourth-and-1. Six plays later, Wilson hit Lynch for a 9-yard score to give Seattle a 24-10 lead with 6:31 remaining.

The Redskins responded with an 11-play, 80-yard drive, pulling within a touchdown on Cousins’ 6-yard pass to Andre Roberts with 3:35 to go.

But the Seahawks took the ensuing kickoff and marched back down the field. Wilson converted a third-and-4 with another run-for-his-life scramble, evading Ryan Kerrigan and tumbling backward as he found Lynch for a 30-yard gain.

Steven Hauschka then iced the game with a 43-yard field goal with 21 seconds to play.

And, most importantly for the Seahawks, they made it through that final drive without a penalty.

NBA: League, ESPN plan mobile service Continued from Page B-1 consideration the potential interest of tech companies such as Google and Apple that could eventually bid on sports rights and change the model for how fans watch games.

But for the next decade and beyond, the NBA is sticking with what works.

“I don’t think we left any money on the table,” Silver said. “We’re confident that we maximized what our opportunity was in the marketplace.”

For ESPN, the value of the deal goes beyond games, though there are more of those, too: ESPN and ABC are adding 10 regular-season matchups, bringing their total to 100.

The network also gets expanded rights to air highlights and will significantly expand its NBA studio shows. The goal is to make basketball a year-round

topic of conversation as the NFL has become on ESPN. To that end, the agreement adds the NBA’s Summer League and its developmental league. The network also extends its WNBA contract through 2025 and increases its offerings for ESPN International.

And then there are the plans for a new service for mobile devices that ESPN will run, with the NBA receiving equity interest. Details on that have yet to be determined.

ESPN now owns rights to the NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball, college football playoffs and four of the five power conferences through at least 2021. Only the Big Ten contract ends soon among the network’s biggest sports properties.

It will be at least another decade before Fox can try

to put a substantial dent in ESPN’s head start.

TNT, meanwhile, can’t offer its own 24-hour sports channel to the NBA. But it has deep business ties to the league through managing its digital properties, which includes NBA TV and NBA.com.

The new deal includes expanded digital rights for Bleacher Report, the sports website acquired by Turner, TNT’s parent company. TNT will televise an additional 12 games with playoff implications over the second half of the season on nights other than its traditional Thursday, bringing its total to 64.

TNT will also air a new postseason awards show.

When the NBA negotiated its last collective bargaining agreement, the union secured the ability for either side to opt

out in 2017 so players could gauge the effects of the next television deals on revenue.

One reason LeBron James signed for only two years with the Cleveland Cavaliers was an expectation that the salary cap would rise significantly with more TV money pouring in.

Silver said he would start discussions with National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts about the transition to a much larger cap.

In a statement, Roberts called the new contracts “good news for all of the stakeholders in the business of the NBA.” “Our job will be to ensure that the players receive their fair share of the results of their efforts,” she added, “and that we do everything possible to maintain the growth and popularity of the game.”

Penalty kick gives Prep 1-0 win over Desert Academy Eighty-plus minutes of scoreless action all came down to a single penalty kick during Monday afternoon’s Desert Academy-Santa Fe Preparatory girls soccer match at Prep.

Santa Fe Prep’s Gabriella Romero ended the drama when she drove home a penalty kick in the eighth minute of the sudden death overtime match in District 2A-AAAA play.

Just seconds before, she set up teammate Alexis Mundt with what would have been the game-winning goal when she fed a pass into the box for a one-timer. Mundt’s shot was deflected when it made contact with a Desert Academy player’s hand.

The ensuing violation gave the Blue Griffins (7-7, 4-2) a penalty kick, which Romero took. According to Prep head coach Stephanie Coppola, it was one of a number of quality chances her team had against Lady Wildcats (5-7, 2-3) keeper Frances O’Byrne.

“Frannie is tremendous,” Coppola said. “She does a little of everything for them.”

Coppola said the majority of the action after halftime took place in Desert Academy’s end, but nothing came of it until Romero’s game winner.

Prep returns to action Thursday when it visits undefeated district leader St. Michael’s.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Mom won’t take daughter’s cats Dear Annie: My daughter is getting a divorce and moving into an apartment that allows her to have two cats. The problem is, she has four cats. She asked whether I would take two of them.

I live in another state. It would be difficult to get the cats here, and I don’t think I can handle them. The idea of cat hair everywhere, smelly litter boxes, clawed furniture and finding cats in my bed when I’m sleeping is just too stressful. And frankly, I don’t want to be tied down. My husband and I are retired and travel a lot.

How do we tell our daughter that we can’t take her cats without causing her grief? I only want to make her happy. — Love Cats, But Not Here Dear Love Cats: We know you want to please your daughter, but this request is unfair to you, as well as to the unwanted cats. You have to say no. Does she have any friends in her town who might take one or both of the cats? Is there a no-kill shelter where she could leave them for adoption or an animal rescue that could help find a foster home? Can she find another place to live where there is no restriction on the number of cats or offer her landlord a larger security deposit to cover the extra cats? Please remind yourself that the cats would not be better off with you, and then inform your daughter of your decision.

Dear Annie: My father recently passed away. In his will, he left some money to my disabled daughter. My husband and I are her legal guardians and plan to put this money in a special needs trust per my father’s request.

My sister feels I should share this money with her and her son, even though Dad left my sister a substantial amount of money.

While we control how our daughter’s money is spent, we don’t feel it is ours to give away. But should we give some to my sister to keep the peace? — Inheritance Dilemma Dear Inheritance: If the bequest to your daughter was in your father’s will, you probably do not have the legal right to alter the terms. Since your sister has already received a “substantial”

sum from Dad’s estate, we find it rather greedy that she wants to take money specifically designated for your daughter’s longterm care. Have the executor of the will (or a lawyer) explain to Sis that this is not possible. If it comes from a professional, it will help.

Dear Annie: The letter from “In Pain” struck a chord with me.

He said his wife refuses intimacy and won’t discuss it. He says he helps around the house, makes her coffee, takes her out to dinner, sends her flowers and keeps himself in shape.

Over the past few years, I have heard the same complaints from my husband. Here’s what’s going on in our house: My husband works a high-stress job, and even the smallest things set him off. I hear about these things all day long through his text messages, phone calls and in conversation after we both are home from work.

What he doesn’t realize is that these conversations have an effect on me. After listening to him vent and complain (with anger and swearing), the last thing I want to do at the end of the day is be intimate with him. All I want is a break from the stress that he passes on. I have tried to talk to him about this, but he responds with anger and frustration, and the conversations resolve nothing.

I love my husband and have no intention of leaving, but there are limits to what I can tolerate.

“In Pain” should examine whether anything has changed in his behavior. He may be unknowingly pushing his wife away. While spouses should support each other, there are still limits. We shouldn’t use our loved ones as emotional dumping grounds. — Need My Sanity Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

He asked options to pay tuition is not alone in if he should start trading options to making investing mistakes. Since I’ve

been in the financial planning world, rather than the stock-trading world, here are some of the most common investing mistakes I’ve seen. u Having too many stock and bond investments. It’s important to diversify, but diversification must follow an investment philosophy and strategy.

What are your investments supposed to do for you? Are you saving for retirement? Are you in retirement?

How much money do you have, and how long does it need to last?

Too often, people just have investments spread out willy nilly, with no underlying investing philosophy. In addition to just a random bunch of stocks and bonds, I see people holding funds at various brokerages and insurance companies. That’s not proper diversification; in fact, it can result

in higher fees, investing in the same vehicle in more than one account, and further dilutes your ability to have a cohesive investing strategy. u Trying to time the market. This is usually based on something a pundit said on TV or wrote in one of those financial magazines. The financial media’s first objective is not to help you; it’s to sell advertising and subscriptions.

At the end of 2012, there was media panic about the fiscal cliff crisis and how that would tank U.S. stock markets. Unfortunately for those pundits, the S&P 500 kept rising. Still, plenty of people believed there would be a significant decline in 2013 and bailed out.

We know how that worked out: The S&P finished 2013 with a gain of 32 percent. So much for market timing.

u Continuing to say you don’t understand finance. This one is more common among women, and it’s often a stalling tactic. It comes in a lot of flavors, including one of my favorites, “I’m not good with numbers.”

I was an English major. Many top investors and planners had a liberal arts education.

Personal finance is not as complicated as many pundits and advisers like to make it. The only numbers you need to understand are basic, elementary-school addition and subtraction, maybe with a little multiplication and division thrown in. Nothing you can’t do on your phone.

But I’ve heard from plenty of women who had bad experiences with

Logging, mining help drive state’s economy

WESTWIND TRAVEL

W

ith the autumn colors and the Balloon Fiesta tourists, it might be hard for Santa Fe readers to see that one of the big economic engines in New Mexico the past several years is logging and mining.

Numbers released last week from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics paints a picture of an industry that now employs more than 27,000 people — the most ever and a 50 percent climb from a sector that employed just 18,000 in April of 2010.

In the 12 months ending in August 2014, the sector grew by 1,400 jobs or 5.3 percent, and employment has now increased for 53 straight months.

The lift from mining is one reason New Bruce Mexico is no longer last Krasnow in job growth over the Business Matters past year. The nonfarm employment growth in the state for the 12 months ending in August was 0.6 percent, which means we are now tied for 40th in the United States. The average growth among all 50 states was 1.8 percent, with North Dakota leading the way at 4.6 percent and Alaska, the only state to lose jobs, trailing at minus 0.5 percent.

Terry Williams-Keffer, owner of Westwind Travel, first managed the agency in 1984 at the age of 25. ‘I have been a travel agent for over 30 years,’ Williams-Keffer said. ‘I really know how to get people to where they need to go.’ JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

High level of service buoys Santa Fe’s last independent travel agency

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

erry Williams-Keffer starts the day in Beijing, jets to Lima, Peru, and catches a late flight to Japan, all from her comfortable Santa Fe home office. She is a rarity — owner of the city’s last independent travel agency, Westwind Travel.

Her agency has helped would-be travelers since 1984, but her business has faced a host of challenges since then, including Internet booking services, terror attacks and recessions.

She said her agency has survived because of her tenacity and passion.

“I have been a travel agent for over 30 years,” Williams-Keffer said. “I really know how to get people to where they need to go.”

Williams-Keffer fielded multiple

T

3 decades later, still booking phone calls during a recent hourlong interview at her scenic home office, which is located high above West Alameda at the end of Mesa Verde Road. The inquires suggest a steady business, which might seem surprising in a line of work many consider to be obsolete.

According to the federal Bureau of Statistics, there were 124,030 travels agents in 2000. By 2013, that number had plummeted to 64,250, and the agency reported fewer than 190 agents working in New Mexico.

Dismal numbers aside, the American Society of Travel Agents released a study in May that showed a majority of agents surveyed nationwide reported an increase in revenue, transactions and clients since 2013.

Williams-Keffer agreed with that trend. She said that last year she

had $2 million in airline ticket sales, an encouraging sign.

Williams-Keffer said she stays relevant by offering service that online ticketing agencies cannot.

She cited the 2010 volcanic eruption in Iceland, which grounded air travel to and from Europe for days.

During the crisis, Williams-Keffer manned her computer, finding alternative flights for her clients as they became available — something Travelocity can’t do, she said.

Williams-Keffer also offers timesaving and potentially cheaper

and claims systems simultaneously.

flights, even with her fee attached, she said. While someone might spend hours online searching for a flight, she can find the same flight in minutes.

Technology is both curse and blessing for Williams-Keffer. She said sites such as Travelocity and Expedia culled a large portion of her client base. “There’s a perception that those sites are better than a human being,” she said. “But a computer really doesn’t have the knowledge that I have.”

However, technology also allows her to be a better agent. A client got stuck in Jordan while Williams-Keffer and her husband were traveling.

She was able to use her laptop to secure the client a new flight within minutes.

that increase program integrity.”

In 2013, New Mexico successfully launched the Unemployment Insurance Tax and Claims System. In the first year alone, the new system was instrumental in helping New Mexico reduce unemployment insurance fraud by 60 percent, as well as significantly reducing overpayments for the second year in a row.

The New Mexico Unemployment Insurance program is now ranked among the top 10 performing states for timeliness and quality measures.

New Mexico also lags other states in overall business friendliness, according to CNBC. Taxes are only part of the picture, and the rankings include infrastructure, business costs, education and the quality of the workforce. Overall, the website puts the state at 37th, which is actually down from 33rd a year ago.

“The Land of Enchantment’s low costs might be charming, but the regulatory climate is not. Compared to its fast-growing neighbors to the east, the state’s economy is practically in a trance,” writes CNBC. Compared with a year ago, the state did a bit better in the areas of education and infrastructure, but lost ground for the overall economy, workforce development and quality of life. Search for “CNBC, America’s top states for business” to find the rankings. uuu

An analysis by the Brewers Association and published by the state Department of Workforce Solutions indicates New Mexico ranks 12th nationwide for the number of breweries per capita and 26th in small or craft breweries per capita.

“New Mexico breweries’ production in 2013 was 58,247 barrels, representing 1.2 gallons per adult 21 and older; New Mexico was ranked 23rd in the nation for production per capita. The economic impact in 2013 was $264.5 million, or $178 per capita,” according to the report.

“Though the state’s brewing establishments are most concentrated in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, they’re spread throughout the state in 30 communities, from Farmington and Taos to Las Cruces and Artesia.

Many of the microbreweries currently doing business in New Mexico are in rural areas of the state and create employment opportunities in those areas. Moreover, breweries actively promote tourism by exporting New Mexico products,” according to the report.

Biz Calendar promotes business-building connections

By Holly Bradshaw Eakes For The New Mexican

N

ew Mexicans never have to wonder where they can go to widen their professional networks or learn the skills that will grow their businesses or advance their careers.

The online Business Calendar — or Biz Calendar for short — offers the most comprehensive cache of information about business events, workshops, meetings, certification classes and professional gatherings happening anywhere in the state today, tomorrow, next week and later in the year.

Public and private service providers use the collaborative Web-based calendar to inform the business community about what they’re offering, and economic development organizations use it to connect their local businesses

to resources designed to help create jobs and raise the quality of life in New Mexico communities.

The Biz Calendar began as a project of the nonprofit arm of New Mexico Community Capital in 2007, with support from New Mexico’s Economic Development Department, the Finance Authority and the Small Business Development Network. Organizers aimed to distribute information about events hosted by nonprofits and government agencies.

In 2010, Comprehensive Consulting Group LLC took charge of the calendar and expanded usage to allow anyone, including those in the private sector, to post business events. The company manages the calendar as a public service project in tandem with Finance New Mexico, a clearinghouse for business resource information.

The Biz Calendar and Finance New

Mexico are complementary tools that business owners and entrepreneurs can use to obtain skills and knowledge and connect with colleagues, investors and potential customers.

Since January 2012, the calendar’s technological evolution has allowed users to submit event information without creating a password, integrate their event information with other Web platforms and share events by email, Twitter, Facebook and other social-media outlets.

Individuals, businesses, consultants, nonprofit organizations and industry associations are among the hundreds of contributors to the Biz Calendar, routinely posting information about training courses, workshops, conferences, meetings and professional networking events, said Sandy Wheeler, who edits the calendar.

“When someone posts an event,

it automatically shows up on other websites,” Wheeler said. “The state Economic Development Department and local chambers of commerce are some of many agencies that have our RSS feed on their websites.”

Collaboration with incubators, regional economic developers and the state’s 105 municipalities ensures events are distributed to all corners of the state. “About a quarter of the state’s towns use the link on their websites to connect their local businesses with support services,” Wheeler said.

Event information is further distributed every Friday, when Wheeler sends a digest of events for the upcoming week to email-subscribed business owners and professional associations.

“People really count on it, especially those in the more remote northeast or southeast corners of the state that

The League of American Bicyclists has recognized the Santa Fe-based Bicycle Technologies International with its Platinum Bicycle Friendly Business award.

BTI joins a cutting-edge group of 800 local businesses, government agencies and Fortune 500 companies across the United States. BTI was one of five new platinum designations this fall, joining 17 other organizations that have attained the league’s highest level designation.

BTI’s engages in a variety of advocacy, lobbying and conservation activities to press for the expansion and maintenance of cycling-related thoroughfares and trail systems. On a local level, BTI encourages bicycling as an easy option for transportation, providing cycling-specific amenities such as showers, bike parking and incentives for commuters. BTI is also an organizing partner and sponsor of the annual Santa Fe Bike & Brew Festival.

“We are truly honored to receive the Platinum designation by the League of American Cyclists,” said Andrew Wright and Preston Martin, BTI’s co-founders. “BTI is committed to cycling culture, not only for selfish reasons of business sustainability, but to help grow, support and nurture the growth of bicycle friendly communities. Our employees too have made it a priority to be an integral part of the growing cycling culture in Santa Fe, New Mexico and beyond.”

Pew Research has a new interactive map, Mapping the Marriage Market for Young Adults, which looks at the ratio of men and women in a metro area between the ages of 25 to 34 and how many are employed.

According to the organization, the share of adults in American who have never married are at a record high, and economic factors have increasingly influenced the search for a spouse.

So what’s a gal to do? Perhaps move to Las Cruces, according to the data.

The Pew data show that of all the metro areas listed, Las Cruces is in the top 20 for the number of men for every 100 women, with 145. And there are exactly 100 employed men for every 100 women.

Albuquerque also is on the list, with 117 men for every 100 women and 87 employed men for every 100 women.

Santa Fe has a pretty equal distribution of both men and women in the workforce and the population.

Santa Fe Association of Realtors to host first annual ALS benefit The Santa Fe Association of Realtors Community Services committee is hosting the first annual Richard Jay ALS Research Benefit event. The event is named in honor of Richard Jay, a local Realtor diagnosed with ALS. The event will feature a golf tournament to be held Oct. 17 at Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe, followed by a benefit dinner and silent auction. All proceeds will go directly to the ALS Association for Research.

“This new event has created a wonderful way for Realtors, affiliate members and the public to support ALS research in hopes of finding a cure,” said Deborah Bodelson, one of the co-chairs of the event. “Our Realtor family along with several generous community organizations have combined to make a powerful statement against this debilitating disease.”

The golf tournament will be held at noon at Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe and will feature a hole-in-one contest; putting competition; plaques for first, second and third-place teams; Mulligans for purchase and other prizes. If you don’t play golf, the benefit dinner will offer a traditional New Mexican dinner at 5 p.m. at Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe. The cost of the dinner is $50 with a cash bar.

Booking: Plan is to build customer base Continued from Page C-1 Williams-Keffer’s charges vary, but her services start at a minimum of $30 for a plane ticket. From there, it’s 10 percent of the base airline fare. The fees cap at $100 for domestic flights, $150 for international.

The service includes hotel bookings and rental car arrangements.

The travel agent said leisure travelers with nuanced plans are her most frequent customers, though she also plans business trips. Clients are mostly repeat customers or referrals. She said she tried advertising her services briefly but found little success in that venue.

Williams-Keffer started managing Westwind Travel in 1984 when she was 25.

At one point, she managed 15 agents.

Williams-Keffer said the first major setback for the industry came in 1995, when airlines started to lower commission rates for agents. Until that time, agents received

10 percent of the ticket price. With that income gone, agents had to charge fees, which drove away some customers, she said.

Following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror

attacks, Williams-Keffer said many Americans stopped traveling for “fear they might not return home.” That paranoia took years to ebb. By the time her clients returned, the 2008 recession struck and further curtailed sales.

The dwindling sales forced WilliamsKeffer to a home office in 2011. Westwind used to rent an office downtown, but now it’s just Williams-Keffer and associate Sharon Maloney, who also works from home. Williams-Keffer said she still starts her day at 8 a.m. and works straight through to 5 p.m., save for the occasional dog walk.

And though she has struggled, her future plans are simple: She wants to continue building her customer base.

“I am not really willing to give up,” she said. “This is what I want to do as my job.

I don’t want to go to work for Albertsons … or God forbid a doctor’s office. I want people to want to come and see me.”

Continued from Page C-1 financial advisers who spoke in jargon, and left them feeling confused and demoralized. If that happened, it’s not your fault. It means you were talking to a bad adviser. u Taking the advice of a relative who’s vaguely involved with something “financial” or numbers-related. I know a person who takes planning advice from a son-inlaw who is an actuary, and another from a brother who day trades. Neither of those are holistic financial planners — in fact,

they’re not planners at all.

I understand the confusion about the financial services industry; my own mother asked if I was a mortgage broker (I’m not). But if you’re going to take advice from friends and relatives, be aware that they may have knowledge in one tiny corner of the wide, wide financial world. u Giving up. This is where you just throw your hands in the air and decide it’s too complicated, or maybe even that it’s too late. I’ve worked with enough people

to know that it may not be too late to shore up your financial position. You might be surprised at what you can do to generate retirement income, even if you have saved relatively little.
