Officials drop draft permit for expansion of WIPP Flynn: ‘NMED cannot move forward’ with request to open more storage at nuke dump The Associated Press

New Mexico regulators have withdrawn a preliminary permit for an expansion of the federal government’s troubled nuclear waste dump in southeastern New Mexico. Citing recent back-to-back incidents that included a radiation release that contaminated 17 workers, the New Mexico Environment Department on Friday notified the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant that it has withdrawn a pending draft permit. “NMED cannot move forward on the WIPP’s request to open additional underground storage panels and for the other requested permit modifications until more information is known about the recent events at the WIPP,” Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn said in a statement. “Just as NMED needs more information to make informed decisions on permit

PECOS ive-year-old Jacob Reta-Perea could hardly contain his excitement Wednesday as he waited for the New Mexico Rural Bookmobile to arrive at his preschool in Pecos. After all, it had been his idea for the mobile library stop there. “Are you ready?” asked Charri Richards, manager of the Cimarron-based New Mexico Rural

In rural New Mexico, dozens of tiny communities still rely on the old-fashioned bookmobile in places where Internet service is spotty, expensive or nonexistent. The Bookmobile Northeast alone stops at 37 sites spread across seven counties. Buses loaded with more than 4,500 titles, from classics to new best-sellers in all genres, visit communities once a month. “We also carry

Retailers scramble to keep up with hackers Security experts warn consumers of growing mobile malware By Hayley Tsukayama The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — The massive cyberattack on Target last year unleashed efforts to protect consumers from crooks swiping credit card data from in-store transactions. But as retailers and regulators scramble to develop a solution, hackers have already moved on. Most hackers are focusing their efforts on online transactions — increasingly with an eye on those

While cyberattacks on physical systems, such as registers, card readers and gas pumps, have garnered a lot of attention lately, shoppers’ online transactions are much more likely to fall victim to hackers, security experts say. Mobile malware accounts for a small part of data breaches — Cisco estimates that malicious software targeted at mobile devices comprise only 1.2 percent of all Web malware — but security experts

N.M. off to driest year on record Forecasters report drought has worsened over past three months By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — The first two months of 2014 marked the driest start to any year on record for New Mexico, and forecasters with the National Weather Service said Friday that things haven’t improved. Senior meteorologist Chuck Jones told state and federal officials during a monthly drought briefing that New Mexico received less than one-third of its normal snow and rain over the winter, and that the lack of snowpack in the mountains is prompting concerns among water managers. “It’s terrible. We’re looking at the snowpack levels and they’re just blowing away,” said Raymond Abeyta with the Bureau of Reclamation. “What has us concerned is the soil moisture levels.” The latest drought map shows conditions have worsened in New

4 die in New Jersey shore motel fire

People displaced by superstorm Sandy were housed at inn By Wayne Parry

The Associated Press

POINT PLEASANT BEACH, N.J. — A fire early Friday destroyed a New Jersey shore motel that was housing people displaced by superstorm Sandy, killing four people and injuring eight, authorities said. The blaze erupted at the wooden Mariner’s Cove Motor Inn in this popular summer resort town at around 5:30 a.m., and flames were shooting out the building by the time firefighters arrived. At least one person leaped from a second-floor window to escape. Three people were injured critically. Other injuries included broken bones. The discovery of a fourth victim was announced Friday afternoon just before firefighters removed the body on a stretcher. Authorities said all remaining occupants had been accounted for after hours of visiting hospitals, motels and other locations

to track down other survivors. The victims were identified as male adults, but the prosecutor’s office said no positive identifications had been made and the cause of the blaze was unknown. After the bodies were slid on stretchers down ladders to the ground, investigators brought out dogs specially trained to react to the presence of gasoline or other petroleum products that might have been used to start or accelerate a fire. The dogs sniffed at charred items and building debris at the curb and alongside the motel’s outdoor swimming pool, but showed no obvious reaction to anything. Task Force One, New Jersey’s elite urban search and rescue team that has responded to disaster scenes around the world, also joined the investigation, which was expected to take days. The blaze was the second major fire at the Jersey shore in seven months, following a September blaze that destroyed about a third of the boardwalk in Seaside Heights and Seaside Park. The boardwalk had just been rebuilt after Sandy. It is now being rebuilt — again.

Judge strikes down Michigan gay-marriage ban

DETROIT — Michigan’s ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional, a federal judge said Friday, striking down a law that was widely embraced by voters a decade ago in the latest in a series of similar decisions across the country. But unlike cases in other states, U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman did not suspend his decision while the Michigan attorney general pursues an appeal. That means clerks could start issuing licenses Monday, unless a higher court intervenes. Friedman released his 31-page ruling exactly two weeks after a rare trial that mostly focused on the impact of same-sex parenting on children. The challenge was brought by two Detroit-area nurses originally seeking to overturn Michigan’s ban on joint adoptions by gay couples. The judge noted that supporters of same-sex marriage believe the Michigan ban was at least partly the result of animosity toward gays and lesbians.

Wal-Mart battles price war with online ‘savings’ tool NEW YORK — The “Every Day Low Price” king is trying to shake up the world of pricing once again. Wal-Mart said that it has rolled out an online tool that compares its prices on 80,000 food and household products — from canned beans to dishwashing soap — with those of its competitors. If a lower price is found elsewhere, the discounter will refund the difference to shoppers in the form a store credit. The world’s largest retailer began offering the feature, called “Savings Catcher,” on its website late last month in seven big markets that include Dallas, San Diego and Atlanta.

DETROIT — The families of three teenagers killed or injured in a 2006 Wisconsin car crash are suing General Motors, alleging the company was negligent in designing its small cars and committed fraud by not disclosing facts about the defects. Natasha Weigel, who was 18, and Amy Rademaker, who was 15, died after the October 2006 crash involving a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt compact car with a faulty ignition switch. The car’s driver, Megan Phillips, suffered permanent brain damage, according to a statement from the families’ law firm. GM failed to warn the teens of a dangerous defect and misrepresented the car’s safety, said lawyer Robert Hilliard in a statement. The firm said the lawsuit was filed Friday in Hennepin County, Minn., where the car was purchased. The crash was among the first blamed on the faulty ignition switches. Last month GM recalled 1.6 million Cobalts and other small cars worldwide to replace the switches. The company has admitted knowing about the problem for at least 11 years before taking the action.

Gay-marriage foe to march in NYC gay pride parade NEW YORK — The Catholic League will be allowed to march with an anti-gay-marriage banner in New York City’s annual gay-pride parade, organizers said on the heels of a St. Patrick’s Day parade

Parade organizer David Studinski said Thursday he has no problem with Catholic League President Bill Donohue’s plan to participate in the June 29 parade. “His group’s presence affirms the need for this year’s pride theme, ‘We Have Won When We’re One,’ ” Studinski said in a statement. “Straight is great — as long as there’s no hate.” On Monday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Guinness beer boycotted the city’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade because organizers wouldn’t allow participants to carry pro-gay signs. And in Boston, Mayor Martin Walsh opted out of his city’s St. Patrick’s parade this week after talks broke down that would have allowed a gay veterans group to march. Late last week, The Boston Beer Co., brewer of Samuel Adams, pulled its support.

Officials: FBI agent cleared in fatal Florida shooting WASHINGTON, D.C. — Two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the investigation say a Florida prosecutor has cleared an FBI agent in the fatal shooting of a Chechen man as he was being questioned about a Boston Marathon bombing suspect. The officials say State Attorney Jeff Ashton won’t bring charges against the agent. Both officials spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the case. Ashton’s report will be released Tuesday. The Washington Post first reported the prosecutor’s decision. The Justice Department also has been investigating but has not yet released its findings. Twenty-seven-year-old Ibragim Todashev was killed in Orlando in May while FBI agents and others questioned him about his friendship with suspected Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

The move by Wal-Mart, which has a long history of undercutting competitors, could not only change the way people shop, but also how other retailers price their merchandise.

HONOLULU — Hawaii lawmakers on Friday vowed to restore a line in a bill that would make it illegal for police to have sex with prostitutes. Currently in Hawaii, police working within the scope of duty are exempt from all prostitution laws. A line in House Bill 1926 would have removed that exemption if officers have sex with prostitutes, but it was removed when Honolulu police told lawmakers that exemption was an important part of fighting crime. Advocates and law enforcement experts found that argument implausible. After many of them testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee lawmakers were inclined to agree. The committee deferred decision on the large crime bill by one week. Committee Chairman Clayton Hee, a Democrat representing Kaneohe and Kaaawa, said its next version would once again outlaw police from having sex with prostitutes. “I will tell you that without question I can’t imagine police officers being exempt from the law,” he said. “To condone police officers’ sexual penetration in making arrests is simply nonsensical to me. And I would note that HPD’s absence is deafening. “You can expect that exemption will be out of the recommendations of the chair.” Added Democratic Sen. Malama Solomon, who represents Hilo: “I find that appalling. I just can’t understand how that can happen.” The promise from lawmakers to toss the exemption came as a relief to people who testified at the hearing. Kathryn Xian, the founder of the Pacific Alliance to Stop Slavery, testified to the committee that the practice of “cop-checking” that police claimed makes the exemption necessary does not jive with the accounts of former prostitutes. “I’m really glad Hee’s making that policy call,” said Xian, a Democrat running for Congress in Hawaii’s first district. “It’s long overdue. I think it will benefit a lot of victims out there.” Myles Breiner, a former Honolulu prosecutor who now works as a defense attorney, testified that his clients who are prostitutes often complain to him that police have sex with them before making an arrest. “My concern is public respect for the law,” Breiner told lawmakers. “How do we expect people to follow the law when the police engage in criminal conduct?” Honolulu police say their officers who investigate prostitution — called morals officers, in the department — have not been the subject of such complaints in recent memory. Such exemptions for police to have sex with prostitutes appear rare in states’ laws.

Russia touts Crimea annexation

Ukraine looks to West for support, economic aid By Griff Witte and Will England

The New York Times

MOSCOW — Deep-booming fireworks rent the sky in Moscow and in Crimea on Friday night to celebrate the territorial expansion of Russia at Ukraine’s expense. President Vladimir Putin, defiant in the face of growing Western pressure, signed a treaty of accession moments after it was ratified by the upper house of parliament earlier in the day. The deal gives the Crimean peninsula to Russia — but it has pushed a diminished Ukraine further toward the West. In Brussels, Ukraine’s leaders signed an agreement committing to closer ties with the European Union and said they

clients, most of whom have direct deposit for their salaries and use their cards only to withdraw cash from ATMs, according to Natalia Romanova, editor of a website called banki.ru. Putin said he would open an account in Bank Rossiya on Monday and have his salary deposited there. Ukraine’s leaders, stung by the loss of Crimea and facing dire problems at home, hope to capitalize on Western support. The interim prime minister, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, signed an agreement at the Brussels EU summit that could pave the way for broader cooperation. Ukraine is still a significant way from formally joining the 28-nation bloc, and such a move would likely draw a furious response from Moscow. But Yatsenyuk said he believed Friday’s signing of a political association agreement marked a major push in that direction.

PERTH, Australia — Aircraft and ships from China headed to the desolate southern Indian Ocean to join the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, now lost for two full weeks, and Australia promised its best efforts to resolve “an extraordinary riddle.” A satellite spotted two large objects in the area earlier this week, raising hopes of finding the Boeing 777 that disappeared March 8 with 239 people on board. Three Australian planes took off at dawn Saturday for a third day of scouring the region about 1,550 miles southwest of Perth. Australian officials tried to tamp down expectations after a fruitless search Friday, even as they pledged to continue the effort. “It’s about the most inaccessible spot that you could imagine on the face of the Earth, but if there is anything down there, we will find it,” Prime Minister Tony Abbott said at a news conference in Papua New Guinea. “We owe it to the families and the friends and the loved ones

U.S.-Russia nuclear work proceeds WASHINGTON — As President Barack Obama announced sanctions against Russia on Monday, a group of Russian officials arrived in San Francisco for a surprise inspection of the U.S. strategic nuclear arsenal. The inspections, part of a process agreed to under the 2010 New START weapons reduction treaty, signaled business as usual in at least one area of bilateral cooperation. Administration officials have been quick to emphasize that they would like to keep it that way, and have repeatedly said they believe Russia feels the same way. The Washington Post

of the almost 240 people on Flight MH370 to do everything we can to try to resolve what is as yet an extraordinary riddle,” he added. A total of six aircraft were to search the region Saturday: two ultra long-range commercial jets and four P3 Orions, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said. Two merchant ships were in the area, and the HMAS Success, a navy supply ship, was due to arrive late Saturday afternoon. Weather in the search zone was expected to be relatively good.

Two Chinese aircraft are expected to arrive in Perth on Saturday to join the search, and two Japanese aircraft will arrive Sunday. A small flotilla of ships from China is still several days away. AMSA officials also were

checking to see if there was any new satellite imagery that could provide more information. In Kuala Lumpur, where the plane took off for Beijing, Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein thanked the more than two dozen countries involved in the overall search that stretches from Kazakhstan in Central Asia to the southern Indian Ocean. The search area indicated by the satellite images in the southern Indian Ocean is a four-hour round-trip flight from western Australia, leaving planes with only enough fuel to search for about two hours. The images were taken Sunday, but the search did not start until Thursday because it took time to analyze them. Malaysia asked the U.S. for undersea surveillance equipment, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman.

The Pentagon says it has spent $2.5 million to operate ships and aircraft in the search and has budgeted another $1.5 million for the efforts. There is a limited battery life for the beacons in the cockpit-voice and flight-data recorders — about 30 days, said Chuck Schofield, vice president of business development for Dukane Seacom Inc. He said it’s “very likely” that his company made the beacons on the missing jet. For relatives of those aboard the plane, hope was slipping away, said Nan Jinyan, sister-inlaw of passenger Yan Ling. Malaysian authorities have not ruled out any possible explanation for what happened to the jet. Police are considering the possibilities of hijacking, sabotage, terrorism or issues related to the mental health of the pilots or anyone else on board.

ISTANBUL — It is a sign of the difficulty of banning Twitter in the age of Twitter that within hours of the Turkish government’s attempt to block the social media site, President Abdullah Gul was one of thousands of Turks who protested the ban — using Twitter. “Shutting down social media platforms cannot be approved,” Gul posted Friday, adding that “it is not technically possible to fully block access to globally active platforms like Twitter, anyway.” While Turkey, a predominantly Muslim country of 79 million people, has long sought to portray itself as a model of democracy, critics both inside and outside the country denounced the government’s ban as a “digital coup” more befitting China or North Korea. They, too, of course, did so over Twitter. Echoing outrage from across the world, Neelie Kroes, vice president of the European Commission, the European Union’s executive body, wrote on Twitter that “The Twitter ban in #Turkey is groundless, pointless, cowardly. Turkish people and intl community will see this as censorship. It is.” At the very least, it seemed a clear attempt to shoot the digital messenger, as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan grows increasingly frustrated with how social media networks have been used to fan a scandal that presents perhaps the biggest challenge to his authority since he came to power 11 years ago. Since December, when a corruption investigation ensnared government officials and businessmen, including his son, critics of the prime minister who are often anonymous have used Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to leak a barrage of phone calls and documents. In the aftermath of leaks, Erdogan threatened to ban YouTube and Facebook, saying they were being used by supporters of a pro-Islamic rival group led by Fethullah Gulen, a Pennsylvania-based cleric, to unfairly smear him. Erdogan tried to shut Twitter down Thursday after lashing out at the social network at a rally in the western town of Bursa, saying that he did not care about international reaction if national security was at stake. “Twitter, mwitter!” — the rough equivalent of “Twitter, schmitter!” Erdogan said. “We will root out all. They say, ‘Sir, the international community can say this, can say that.’ I don’t care at all. Everyone will see how powerful the state of the Republic of Turkey is.” Nonetheless, the ban appeared to backfire. According to Twitturk, which records the statistics of Turkey’s roughly 12 million Twitter users, more than half a million tweets were posted in just 10 hours, despite the ban. Statista, a New York-based statistics portal, lists Turkey as the fourth-largest Twitter community in the world after the United States, Britain and Japan.

Pope warns mobsters they risk going to hell Pontiff denounces organized crime at prayer vigil for victims of mafia

read aloud as a somber Francis looked on. After voicing his solidarity with the family members, Francis said he couldn’t leave the service without speaking to those not present: Pope Francis the “protagonists” of mafia violence. Addressing these absentee mafiosi, Francis was unsparing: “This life that you live now won’t give you pleasure. It won’t give you joy or happiness,” he said. “Bloodstained money, blood-stained power, you can’t bring it with you to your next life. Repent. There’s still time to not end up in hell, which is what awaits you if you

continue on this path.” Francis has spoken out frequently about the evils of corruption and wrote a short booklet on corruption and sin in 2005 when he was archbishop of Buenos Aires. But this was his first major address to Italian victims of organized crime, who were gathering near Rome for an annual retreat organized by a Mafia-fighting priest that takes place each March 21, the first day of spring. The brutality of Italy’s mobsters was driven home this week by the death of Domenico Petruzzelli, a 2-year-old killed along with his mother and her companion in a mob hit in southern Taranto in which assailants opened fire on their car. Domenico’s two older brothers, sitting in the backseat, escaped unharmed.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said deputies arrested a 26-year-old man who is accused of slapping a woman while she was holding a child. He then allegedly fractured the eye socket of a man who tried to stop the fight. Ronaldo Hernandez-Estrada of Santa Fe is being held at the Santa Fe County jail without bond on charges of child abuse, aggravated battery, battery against a household member and concealing identity. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed an immigration detainer on Hernandez-Estrada. Lt. William Pacheco, a spokesman with the sheriff’s office, said HernandezEstrada and the male victim had been drinking together, but it’s unclear if they were intoxicated. Pacheco said at some point, Hernandez-Estrada grew jealous. Pacheco said Hernandez-Estrada then struck the woman with an open palm while she was holding an 3-month-old infant. Pacheco said the male victim told the woman to take his vehicle and flee the area. Then, Pacheco said, the male victim fell to the ground — it’s unclear why — and Hernandez-Estrada allegedly struck him several times while he was on

The Santa Fe Police Department said two of the three men arrested downtown Thursday have been charged with burglary. Fernando Fonsesca, Michael Martinez and Armando Gutierrez were all arrested near Cathedral Park about 20 minutes after a homeowner heard someone trying to enter her home on Camino Cerrito, a residential street off Canyon Road, at about 2 p.m. She called police as the men fled in a 2000 Ford Expedition. Shortly after, a public safety aide spotted the suspects’ vehicle and put out a radio call. As the suspects turned off Cathedral Place onto East Palace Avenue, Officer Elizabeth Brewer, riding a bicycle, stopped directly in the path of their Ford Expedition, and the men were arrested. Fonsesca, 31, 3988 Riverside Drive, was charged with burglary, three counts of possession of burglary tools, possession of drug paraphernalia and conspiracy. He’s being held at the Santa Fe County jail in lieu of a $50,000 surety bond. Martinez, 19, of Santa Fe was charged with a single count of burglary, and he’s being held at the jail without bond. And Gutierrez, 28, was arrested on a probation violation, though he has since been released from jail.

ROME — Pope Francis has a warning for Italy’s mobsters: They will go to hell if they don’t repent and renounce their “bloodstained money and bloodstained power.” The pontiff on Friday delivered his most forceful denunciation yet of organized crime. The occasion was a prayer vigil at a Roman church for relatives of innocents killed by the Mafia, during which the names of 842 victims were

ALBUQUERQUE — Officers fired six shots at a man who was killed in the Sandia foothills Sunday after he refused to drop his knives and made threatening moves during a standoff with police, Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden said Friday. Speaking to reporters during a news conference, Eden said two officers fired three shots each after James M. Boyd, 38, threatened to kill officers and held onto knives as an unarmed K-9 officer approached him. A police helmet camera video released Friday shows Boyd turning away as officers unload with beanbags, stun guns and live rounds. In another video, officers can be heard yelling at Boyd to “drop the knife,” and Boyd gives angry, vulgar responses during the lengthy standoff. Boyd, who police say had a lengthy criminal record, later died. However, Eden said the medical examiner has not yet determined if the bullets killed Boyd. “The officers were attempting to effect a felony arrest using less-than-lethal weapons, including a distractive device, K-9 and a Taser shotgun,” Eden said. Asked if he thought the officers’ actions were justified, Eden said yes. Staff and wire reports

Bookmobile: Tradition for rural residents Continued from Page A-1 and school staff, Pecos Elementary became the 11th school stop statewide for the program. “This is a wonderful opportunity to spark that interest in reading and being able to travel through books,” said Gerard Flores, assistant principal at the school. Patrons can check out an unlimited number of books, and the staff works hard to keep customers happy, often finding requested titles through interlibrary loans. A patron at one stop came in her wheelchair. “She told us the authors she was interested in,” Richards said. “We carried the books out to her.” The program also provides Books by Mail. “That service provides books to people who don’t have access to a library or a bookmobile or who are homebound. We have around 1,000 households that are directly served through Books on Mail,” Bailey said. The bookmobile is a tradition for some rural residents. They’ll cancel doctors appointments and skip parties to make sure they don’t miss the mobile library, Richards said.

Richards, a former teacher, has worked with the Rural Bookmobile Program for nine years. “It’s a great job,” she said, “just getting out and seeing rural New Mexico and visiting people.” Jacob was already a bookmobile veteran when he asked his teacher, Jody Leal, why the bookmobile didn’t come by the school. Leal took the boy to Flores, who agreed to visit the bookmobile when it was parked up the road at the local Forest Service office. A few days later, the deal was set for the roving library to swing by Jacob’s school. “Jacob realizes he made a difference,” Flores said. “His voice was heard and impacted services.” The Bookmobile Northeast was supposed to stop by Pecos Elementary in February, but it broke down that time. Jacob and his friends had to wait another month. “You can pick books out, and they are very fun to read,” Jacob said, showing off his selection of books on crocodiles, beetles, butterflies and volcanoes. The bookmobile program cost $578,000 last year, most of it from a federal grant. State appropriations and local community contributions also help.

But the money doesn’t cover the cost to replace bookmobiles. Bookmobile staff log thousands of miles a year on the three buses that serve the entire state. Last year, they traveled 63,706 total miles. The weight of books and miles take a toll. State Librarian Devon Skeele said Rural Services lobbied for $300,000 in capital outlay money from lawmakers for a new bus in the last legislative session, but it only ended up with $25,000. That wasn’t enough to buy a bus, so the funding was vetoed. But the program did secure a $20,000 recurring appropriation, which can be used for operations or to repair the buses. Skeele said that’s a big help. Meanwhile, bookmobile staff will keep the library on wheels going as best they can. “We have broken down in some real remote places,” Richards said. “The only thing we can do then is rely on our cellphones, and hopefully we have cellphone service. Last time we broke down, we had to ask the post office if we could use their phone to call for help.” But if they have to wait awhile for help, she said, at least they have plenty to read.

Hackers: Mobile malware started in 2000s Continued from Page A-1 say it is growing at a frightening pace. MacAfee recently reported that the number of malware targeting Google’s Android operating system nearly tripled between 2012 and 2013, to 3.7 million. “Although not a significant percentage, it is still worth noting because mobile malware is clearly an emerging — and logical — area of exploration for malware developers,” Cisco researchers wrote in the firm’s latest annual report outlining major security threats. For retailers, that trend is particularly troubling. Shoppers have embraced mobile transactions, and retailers are happy to accommodate them, adding easy ways to buy goods with just a few taps on a smartphone or tablet. IBM Analytics reported that, on Cyber Monday 2013, mobile shopping accounted for 17 percent of all online sales — an increase of 55.4 percent year over year. When big companies start paying attention, however, so do fraudsters. Mobile malware started in the early

2000s as a way to scam users by tricking them into dialing pay-per-call numbers or responding to messages that tacked on service charges to their bills. But now, the mobile channel can turn over real money, and at a time when security measures are still in early stages of development. In 2012, Visa e-commerce company CyberSource estimated that around 1.4 percent of all mobile commerce revenue was lost to fraud — between $300 million and $400 million — as compared to the 1 percent lost to online fraud. Much of the problem is that average consumers aren’t attuned to figuring out when they’re being targeted by malware on their phones, experts said. Links are often truncated for small screens, for example, keeping people from noticing that the address they’re trying to go to isn’t what it says it is. Similarly, a text message from a friend telling you about a new app or a cool website may seem genuine but turn out to take you somewhere you don’t want to be. And then there are apps. “With computers, you mostly get

malware through exploits — you browse the website, and you get infected,” said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for the security firm F-Secure. “That never happens on phones.” On phones, he said, attacks happen because customers actively download a program that looks legitimate but has hidden features that tap into phones to collect information. This kind of mobile malware is mostly a problem for Android phones; Cisco reported that 99 percent of the malware it discovered for smartphones in 2013 targeted Google’s mobile operating system. But other users aren’t completely safe from attack either, as consumers can also get attacked by clicking on errant links in social media or having their information intercepted if they use unsecured Wi-Fi networks to shop. One solution, security experts say, is to quickly educate shoppers about mobile security risks and to build in strong mobile security protocols in store apps and other mobile commerce platforms, such as biometric solutions.

LANL making strides in efforts to clean up ‘Area G’ Officials say lab is meeting deadlines under state order By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

Shipments of radioactive waste out of Los Alamos National Laboratory are on schedule to meet a state deadline despite a shutdown of the containment facility near Carlsbad, but the lab still has to finish dealing with other types of waste buried at an old legacy dump. For decades, Los Alamos National Laboratory stored radioactive waste in pits, trenches and deep shafts on lab property. The lab and its nuclear overseers at the U.S. Department of Energy have spent the last few years cleaning up the mess under an order from the state Environment Department. They’re trying to ensure no radioactive contamination is drifting into groundwater that could affect nearby communities such as Santa Fe. Two top officials overseeing cleanup of the 63-acre parcel, known as Area G, told the board of the Coalition of Regional LANL Communities on Friday that the lab is making progress in meeting deadlines under the state’s consent order. The dump sites at Area G are to be closed in December 2015. The lab is almost finished removing transuranic waste — lab coats, tools, debris and other materials contaminated with plutonium and other radioactive elements — but it still has to figure out the best way to cap and monitor any contaminated waste left behind in 35 pits and 200 shafts at Area G, said Jeff Mousseau, the lab’s director for environmental programs. The lab began storing radioactive waste at Area G, between the San Ildefonso Pueblo and White Rock, in 1957. As part of the cleanup effort, the lab has been shipping plutonium-contaminated transuranic waste down to the

Waste Isolation Pilot Project near Carlsbad for underground storage in a salt bed. The lab is supposed to finish shipping out the transuranic waste by June. The lab had shipped 4,500 containers and was on track to remove the final containers by mid-April, when a radioactive leak at WIPP forced officials to temporarily close the facility. With a backup plan in place to send the final containers to a facility in Texas, “we are in the home stretch at Los Alamos,” Mousseau told the coalition. “We’re still a little bit ahead of schedule.” The lab and the Department of Energy now are proposing a closure plan for Area G. They’ve considered a dozen plans for closing and monitoring dump sites on the property, with costs ranging from $186 million to $298 million, said Pete Maggiore, deputy assistant manager for the Department of Energy’s Environmental Projects Office. The lab’s preferred solution is to engineer an 8-foot-thick cap of bentonite clay and crushed rock over the dump pits and shafts. The cap would be installed in phases as Area G operations close, according to lab information. The state will make the final decision on the closure plan after holding public meetings. Completing the cleanup and closure is contingent on federal funding and on the lab and Energy Department meeting the state’s requirements. The state has accommodated the lab since Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration came to office in 2011. The Environment Department has given the lab 65 extensions on different aspects of the environmental cleanup order since 2011. The extensions range from 32 days to two years. The state inked the compliance order with the Department of Energy and the lab’s operators in 2005, and it was last revised in 2012.

WIPP: Waste site closed since February Continued from Page A-1 modifications, the public also needs more information about the radiation release in order to provide informed input during the public comment period. Once NMED has all of our questions answered, we will proceed with consideration of a revised draft Permit.” The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is the nation’s only permanent underground repository for low-level radioactive waste, including things like plutonium-contaminated gloves, tools and protective clothing, from nuclear weapons facilities. The plant near Carlsbad stopped taking all waste ship-

ments after a Feb. 5 underground truck fire. Nine days later, a radiation release shuttered the plant. Officials have yet to get underground to figure out what caused the radiation release. A series of shortcomings in maintenance safety training, emergency response and oversight were cited by a team that investigated the truck fire. It is unclear, however, if the fire and leak are related. No one has yet been inside the half-mile deep mine since the leak to begin a probe or make estimates on how long the plant might be shuttered for cleanup.

Driest: Areas under drought doubled Continued from Page A-1 Mexico over the past three months, with areas covered by severe drought conditions or worse nearly doubling since December. While record rains helped some areas last fall, officials said the Rio Grande Basin didn’t fare as well. Advisers with the Rio Grande Compact Commission, which oversees a water-sharing agreement between New Mexico, Colorado and Texas, said Thursday that there was almost no native Rio Grande water in storage above Elephant Butte Reservoir. They also said water supplies flowing by measuring gauges in Colorado and New Mexico

have been significantly below long-term averages for more than a decade. Federal wildlife managers are scrambling to find enough water to keep the river flowing this summer and asked commission members for their help. They say strategically timed flows will be critical for the endangered silvery minnow’s spawning. More than 2 million silvery minnows have been released in the Middle Rio Grande since 2002, but officials say their numbers are near the lowest since monitoring began more than 20 years ago. Surveys in October indicate a poor survival rate among the hatchery-raised fish that are being released.

offer was refused. In 1933, the pueblo was happy to have Congress grant it a 50-year special-use permit for 32,000 acres surrounding Blue Lake. The Forest Service, however, still had ultimate jurisdiction, and it continued to allow public recreation in the area. The problems grew. By 1961, timber interests and developers were beginning to eye the neighboring mountains. Taos religious leaders were in a panic, and they decided to launch an all-out campaign to secure complete title to Blue Lake and a substantial buffer. Villagers went doggedly to work and started to raise money. Petitions would have to be made to Congress, representatives sent to Washington, again and again, and public support enlisted. Such an effort could not be carried out cheaply. Over the next decade, the campaign slowly gained momentum. Eloquently, the pueblo appealed to the nation for understanding and support. Among the new allies won to the Taos Pueblo cause was Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who pledged

were the U.S. Forest Service, sportsmen, the timber industry and conservation groups. They charged that the Taos Pueblo had engineered a national campaign based on “emotion, sympathy and sentiment,” and that if a proposed bill to grant them 48,000 acres was passed, then other pueblos, as well as Apaches and Navajos, would initiate claims to national forest lands. That was very much a concern of New Mexico’s powerful Sen. Clinton P. Anderson. He introduced a weaker bill to set aside 1,640 acres around Blue Lake as a sort of religious preserve for the pueblo. In the final stage of the legislative battle, President Richard Nixon came out in support of the Taos position. He even gave the pueblo governor a black cane, symbol of hereditary office. On Dec. 2, 1970, after heated debate, Congress returned Blue Lake and 48,000 acres to Taos Pueblo. Two weeks later, President Nixon, with a flourish of his

little more than four decades ago, the Taos Pueblo people realized a lifelong dream. By act of Congress, they obtained possession of their sacred Blue Lake, which lay 10 miles east of the pueblo, high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It had been a hard-fought and costly struggle, one made against seemingly impossible odds. But the village elders never wavered, nor did the people. “Blue Lake is our cathedral and the center of our religion,” Marc they proSimmons claimed. Trail Dust Of New Mexico’s 19 pueblos, Taos is among the most conservative in preserving traditional ways and religious ceremonies. Its huge adobe apartment blocks are the very last ones to rise to five stories, as many pueblos did when the Spaniards first saw them in the 1540s. For generations, the 1,500 or so Pueblo residents of Taos have made an annual pilgrimage in August to their holy lake. There they hold secret rites, including the Red Deer dance, from which all outsiders are rigorously excluded. Soon the lake began to suffer abuse from campers, fishermen and others. When the Pueblo people arrived for their ceremonies, they would find beer cans and similar trash, along with blackened stone rings left from campfires. For them, such thoughtlessness was intolerable. As early as 1924, the federal Public Lands Commission had offered Taos $300,000 to give up its ancient claims to the mountains and Blue Lake. The

LOCAL NEWS Española councilor accused of child abuse

State is not sure if it can stray from federal health insurance deadline

By Chris Quintana

By Patrick Malone

The New Mexican

An Española city councilor was charged with felony child abuse two days after he was sworn into office. According to the New Mexico Courts online records, Phillip Chacon, 32, has yet to enter a plea in the case, stemming from an incident March 9 in the 600 block of Baker Street in Española. Solomon Romero, a detective with the Española Police Department, said Chacon’s son, 13, told detectives that the incident, first reported by The Rio Grande Sun, began when his father asked for some potato chips. The boy said he extended the bag but then withdrew it because he didn’t want his father to get all the remaining chips. This angered his father, the boy told police, and Chacon sent him out to wash a vehicle as punishment. Romero said the boy was washing the vehicle when his father came outside, hit him and then grabbed him by the collar and shook him, saying the boy needed to learn how to share. Romero said the boy had abrasions on his neck, as well as other markings, which corroborated his story. Chacon was arrested the same day. The boy told police his father took away his phone, but he was able to use a PlayStation 3 gaming console to send a text message to his mother seeking help, and Romero said the mother notified police. Romero said the boy also reported that his father, who had joint custody, had abused him multiple times since he was 6 years old. Chacon declined to speak at length with a reporter Friday morning, but said he would send a prepared statement by email. That statement, however, never arrived. He did say that he had a team of lawyers who would be representing him, but he didn’t provide any names. “This is my livelihood,” he said. The Rio Grande Sun reported that following his release from jail, Chacon threatened to attack one of the paper’s reporters. Romero said officers investigated that incident and has sent those charges to the Rio Arriba County Magistrate Court. It’s unclear if the charges have been filed against Chacon. The child abuse charge comes at an already hectic time for Chacon. The Rio Grande Sun reported that Chacon secured a spot on the council by a margin of two votes, and his opponent, former city councilor Michelle Martinez, has already filed paperwork seeking a recount.

n autograph session featuring the cast of 50-1 — a feel-good film about a New Mexico-trained horse who beat the odds to achieve an upset win in the 2009 Kentucky Derby — drew dozens of fans Friday to the parking lot of a Regal theater in Santa Fe. At least one of them was a real “Kaniac,” as fans of actor and musician Christian Kane call themselves. Alison Jessop, 43, of San Diego has a sister and nephew in Santa Fe, but she said the real reason she flew in Thursday night was meet to Kane, who plays the horse’s owner, Mark Allen. Jessop — who began waiting in the parking lot of the Regal Stadium 14 on Zafarano Drive at 10 a.m. for the 2 p.m. event — has met the actor before.

Los Alamos homemaker Michelle Smith, 47, and her friends — husband and wife Jim and Deborah Williams — came to see the film to support a more homegrown celebrity, their friend Suzanne Wilcox who plays “somebody’s wife”

Jess Parrot, a lifelong horseracing fan who moved to Santa Fe from South Carolina, said she thought the filmmakers did a “great job” with the story. She especially appreciated the use of original footage from the 2009 race, which she remembers watching. Hugo Perez, the Mexicoborn actor who plays trainer Miguel in the film, greeted old-

Lawsuit aims to bump state Rep. Jeff from ballot By Milan Simonich

The New Mexican

A McKinley County man has filed a lawsuit to remove state Rep. Sandra Jeff from the primary election ballot, claiming she did not file enough valid petition signatures to qualify. Jeff, who sidestepped one high-profile issue this year and has sided with Republicans on others, faces two challengers in the June Democratic primary. No Republican is seeking the seat. Larry J. King filed the lawsuit against Jeff in state District Court in Gallup. He describes himself in the suit as a Democrat who lives in House District 5, which Jeff represents. The researcher who compiled the list of challenges for King said King is supporting one of Jeff’s opponents, Doreen W. Johnson. King said Jeff was required to submit 78 valid signatures of Democratic voters in McKinley or San Juan counties. She turned in 91 signatures, but King alleges 52 of them are invalid. Jeff did not immediately respond to phone and email messages seeking comment. King says one man who purportedly signed Jeff’s petition is

dead. He says a woman signed Jeff’s petition twice. Other people signed the nominating petitions of both Jeff and another of her opponents, Charles Long of Crownpoint. King says those signatures should be disallowed. Still more claims in the lawsuit are that numerous people who signed Jeff’s petitions do not live in House District 5 or that they are Republicans or independents who cannot get a Democrat on the primary ballot. Some of the challenges are more technical, including claims that post office boxes cannot be used as addresses on nominating petitions and that Jeff wrongly listed herself as a resident of San

ALBUQUERQUE — With less than 10 days for state residents to enroll in health insurance under the federal Affordable Care Act, the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange still hopes to give uninsured people more time to sign up. At its meeting Friday, the board expressed an appetite for the extension, even though an emergency meeting next week would be necessary to accomplish it before the federally imposed enrollment period closes March 31. “We are in a rather heated discussion with [the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] as to who has the authority to determine our open enrollment period,” said Aaron Ezekiel, a member of the exchange board and director of Affordable Care Act implementation at the state Office of the Superintendent of Insurance. An informal poll of the exchange board yielded no objections to prolonging the enrollment period. But board Chairman Dr. J.R. Damron said he wants to be certain the federal government won’t deny New Mexicans subsidies or tax benefits based on decisions the state makes to stray from federal guidelines. Ezekiel said it could take weeks to hear whether the federal government would approve an extended enrollment period. He advised the board not to wait for federal approval to adopt an extension. “It’s clear we’ll be making some decisions with a severe lack of information no matter what we do,” he said. “We’re going to get as much as we can and move

Juan County on two pages of the petitions. New Mexico judges, guided by a state Supreme Court decision, traditionally have allowed signatures that can be verified but may not meet the letter of election law. The Supreme Court itself in 2012 itself rejected widespread attempts to knock legislative candidates off the ballot because they omitted the number of their district from nominating petitions. Jeff, 46, has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2009. Her relationship with many fellow Democrats has ranged from chilly to stormy. Ben Luján, the late speaker of the House, donated $1,500 to Long when he ran against Jeff

two years ago. Jeff this year blocked the House Democrats’ budget proposal when she sided with the Republicans. That led to a tie vote, and state senators had to take up the budget bill to move it before the 30-day session elapsed. Late in the session, Vice President Joe Biden called Jeff to urge her to vote for a bill to increase the statewide minimum wage. Jeff first denied she had spoken with Biden but then gave a floor speech in which she admitted he had called her. Biden had no influence on Jeff. She skipped the vote to raise the minimum wage. The proposal failed, but that would have been the case even if Jeff had supported the measure. Democrats did not have enough votes to get it through the House. King’s lawsuit against Jeff also names Secretary of State Dianna Duran as a defendant. Because Jeff represents a multi-county district, her petitions were filed with Duran’s office.

Bushee spent $284 over limit in mayor’s race By Daniel J. Chacón

The New Mexican

City Councilor Patti Bushee exceeded the $60,000 spending limit allowed under the city of Santa Fe’s public financing system for her failed mayoral campaign. But whether Bushee will face repercussions for going over the amount by nearly $285 remains to be seen. “I’m not aware of anyone filing a complaint against the Bushee campaign,” Assistant City Attorney Zachary Shandler said. The city’s Ethics and Campaign Review Board might consider new language in the public campaign finance code to address expenditures that exceed the restricted amount, he said. The issue is one of several that surfaced this election cycle that the board will likely consider in its post-election review, he said. “What happens if you go over and how do you report those things? I think those are issues that the ECRB is probably going to have to tackle,” Shandler said. Bushee attributed the mistake to an “accounting error.” Her treasurer, Facundo Garcia, wrote the city government a $284.86 check to “cover overage” stemming from a check register error, according to Bushee’s final campaign report, which was filed late as her campaign tried to figure out how to report the mistake. Garcia declined to comment. Meanwhile, City Clerk Yolanda Vigil gave Bushee a pass for the late filing. The city code states that the city clerk is to assess a $100 fine for “unexcused late filing of campaign finance statements.” “They did attempt to file it on Tuesday,” Vigil said Thursday. “However, they had questions regarding a check register error that they did not feel comfortable entering until they talked to me, and I was not available on Tuesday.” Candidates in the March 4 municipal election had two weeks to file their final campaign statements, and Vigil said Bushee’s campaign made an effort to file by Tuesday’s deadline. “They wanted some advice,” she said, reiterating that she wasn’t available Tuesday to answer the campaign’s questions.

Tot’s ‘disgusting’ behavior isn’t malicious Question: We are having a problem with our 32-month-old son. He picks his nose — most often in a public setting — and then proceeds to wipe it on other family members. It’s disgusting. We have tried ignoring his behavior and mildly smacking his hand away when he tries to wipe it on us. Neither approach is working. Do you have any suggestions? Answer: Psychologists are not trained to deal with this sort of thing. That’s bad news because I am a psychologist. Lucky for you, however, I am also a grandfather, and grandparents know how to handle stuff (pun intended) like this. As I have said many times, most notably in my book Making the “Terrible” Twos Terrific!, consequences do not work reliably with toddlers. First, their attention span is simply too short. As such, they are not likely to remember what happened the last time they misbehaved in a certain way, so they do it again … and they get punished again, and they do it again, and so on. A toddler and a parent can go round this mulberry bush forever. Second, their impulses rule. Impulse usually overrides the “Don’t do that!” message. Third, they seem to take perverse delight in doing things that people make a big deal over. You have obviously been making a big deal over him wiping snot on other

people. You swat his hand away, you probably jump around and yell and run around looking for something to wipe it off with, all the while complaining in a loud, agitated voice. The fact that he can get an adult so worked up is just John too much fun! So, he does Rosemond it again. No, ignoring this Living With isn’t going to work. You Children didn’t ignore it anyway. You simply reduced the number of times you paid attention to it in relation to the number of times it happened. So, instead of getting all worked up every time he wiped snot on someone, you got worked up one out of four times he wiped snot on someone. (By the way, if you want to get fancy, psychologists would refer to it as “interpersonal snot wiping behavior.”) One out of four is enough to keep ISWB going. One out of 10 will do it, in fact. Whenever parents tell me they’ve ignored something, I know they’re not telling the truth. They ignored it “some” is more like it.

Let’s face it: This is not malicious behavior, nor does it constitute a real and present public health menace. His snot has not caused anyone to become ill, much less precipitated a worldwide epidemic. It has caused you consternation. You think it’s disgusting, which is subjective. In all honesty, given my vast experience with toddler behavior, this is not serious. Furthermore, I seriously doubt that he will be smearing snot on people two years from now, and that timeline is pessimistic. One year is more like it. One thing’s for sure: If you continue to swat, scream and run around like a headless chicken when ISWB occurs, it will continue to occur, and probably get worse. Pin a handkerchief to his clothing so that it hangs in front of his shirt. Tell him that it’s for wiping snot from his nose and show him how to use it. Then, when you see him picking his nose, ask him, “Where do you put stuff from your nose?” Help him understand the concept of using a handkerchief. And if he smears it on you anyway, then simply take his handkerchief and wipe it off, with dignity. Family psychologist John Rosemond answers parent questions at www.parentguru.com.

Special To The Washington Post

Paleo. Vegan. Raw. Gluten-free. It seems as though some people have footnotes after their names, identifying the way in which they eat. Many of these folks are fanatical in asserting that their approach to food is the only way. They might have wonderful success stories of illnesses tamed through good nutrition or anecdotes of how much more energy they have now that they have given up a certain category of food. All of this is well and good, and in many cases, wonderful. I have a few stories myself, and I am an ardent believer in good nutrition. But let’s remember that our kids are listening. They hear us talk about how we gave up whole grains and beans to go Paleo. Or how potatoes make us fat. They hear us talk about rigid food plans that convey a message that whole categories of foods can be bad for us, or how strict food control is the only path toward health. This part is neither well nor good. Everyone is different. Some people thrive on a raw diet, while others would fade away without cooked food. Some people prosper without meat and others require it for optimal health. There is an old proverb: “One man’s meat is another man’s poison.” The technical name for this is bio-individuality, and it is an important factor to remember when deciding what to eat. We are each unique and have unique nutritional requirements. The foods that are best for you might not be best for your spouse, friend or child. Active teenagers metabolize foods differently from, say, pregnant women or women in menopause. According to nutritional medicine expert William Walsh in his Web article “Biochemical Individuality and Nutrition,” “Men eat differently than women, children eat differently than adults, and we all have very different preferences. Our personal tastes and inclinations, natural shapes and sizes, blood types, metabolic rates and genetic backgrounds influence what foods will and won’t nourish us.” So instead of talking about the stringency of going carb-free, talk about how you have listened to your body and are discovering what makes you feel good and not so good. Teach your children to listen to their bodies, too. Explain that they might thrive on different foods from the ones you love. Point out that a stomachache, difficulty going to the bathroom, fatigue after a meal and skin problems could all be related to what they eat. Learning to listen to their bodies, not someone else’s dogma, is truly a life lesson for our children. It is a lesson much broader than food. Let’s hope our kids are in tune with their bodies when it comes to sex, drugs, peer pressure and all of the other daunting things they will one day have to face. The younger they learn to trust themselves, the better.

Researchers studying the new family configuration of adult, child and mobile device say adults are less likely to engage with children when they are distracted by smartphones or tablets at the table. JOYCE HESSELBERTH/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Adults’ use of tech at the table can make kids feel ignored By Perri Klass, M.D.

The New York Times

very age of parenthood — and parenthood at every age — yields some discouraging metric, some new rating system on which parents can be judged and found wanting. We endlessly critique family dinner rituals, day care and nannies, parents’ readiness to follow schedules, or to ignore the rules and follow their children’s directives. Whatever you are doing is probably wrong. Yes, you, yes, right now. Put down that cellphone and listen to me. In a study published last week in the journal Pediatrics, researchers observed diners in Boston-area fast-food restaurants, looking at the new family configuration of adult, child and mobile device. The researchers were trained in anthropological observation techniques, looking in detail at what went on between children and the adults taking care of them, with a focus on the adults’ use of devices like smartphones and tablets. The object was to observe, and to find out what kinds of questions we should be asking about these new digital devices as they relate to parenting. Not surprisingly, most used some kind of mobile device, either continuously or intermittently or at the end of the meal. Of the 55 groups observed in the study, only 15 had no device in play.

“We definitely noted more engagement where there wasn’t a device available,” said Dr. Jenny Radesky, the lead author and a fellow in developmental-behavioral pediatrics at Boston Medical Center. Adults who were typing and swiping were more fully focused on their screens than those who were making phone calls. The ones paying most attention to their children were, of course, not doing any of those things. Children can feel hurt by this, said Catherine SteinerAdair, a clinical and consulting psychologist who interviewed 1,000 children, along with many parents, teachers and young adults, about the role of screens in children’s lives for her book, The Big Disconnect: Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age. “Children of all ages — 2, 15, 18, 22 — used the same phrases to talk about how hard it is for them to get their parents’ attention when they need it: sad, angry, mad, frustrated,” she said. They were complaining that their parents were focused on screens, she continued, “talking about this new sibling rivalry, only it’s not a new member of the family — it’s a new screen, it’s a device.” Steiner-Adair noted that children old enough to know the word “hypocrite” were always ready to apply it to parents who made rules about children’s screen use (no texting at the table!) but disregarded those rules themselves. “We as parents have to be

much more mindful about how our own wiring is interacting with technology in those moments when our children need us,” Steiner-Adair said. “We have to think about how we check in with ourselves about the importance of getting one more email done — these are very tricky moments because they happen all the time.” On her blog, she suggests eight times of day when parents might pay special attention, from driving time and school pickup to bed and bath. Radesky pointed out that while some adults observed in the Boston study were completely absorbed in devices, many used them intermittently, balancing electronics with engagement. “As a mother of two young children, I understand how important it is to take a break sometimes, to be connected with work and with friends,” she said. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, a professor of psychology at Temple University and an author of Einstein Never Used Flashcards, has studied the use of e-books and other electronics by parents and children and said the what really matters is the backand-forth relationship. “Look for something that’s active, engaging, meaningful and interactive,” she said. “You can’t outsource learning to an app, but the good news is there’s really room for us — two minutes of time, five minutes of time — to look into our children’s eyes, have the conversation.”

Center for homeless teens begins cleanup after vandalism Youth Shelters remains closed; new computers, furniture, vehicle needed By Chris Quintana

The New Mexican

A center that provides food, clothing and other services to homeless teenagers remained closed throughout

the week as crews started to clean up damage caused by vandals. David Block, executive director of Youth Shelters, which runs the resource center, said an insurance adjuster arrived Monday, and crews began cleaning afterward. He said the center has been closed since March 13, when vandals broke in and ransacked the building. The staff at the center usually pro-

Extension: For now, deadline still stands Continued from Page A-6 in the best possible direction.” Damron said the federal government has indicated it could extend the national open enrollment deadline temporarily. “We think that the feds are probably going to extend it to April 15; that’s the feeling coming out of [the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] at the moment,” he said. “Our board is in favor of enrollment throughout 2014.” Ezekiel said the Office of the Insurance Superintendent is girding for a legal fight with the federal government over the state’s authority to extend enrollment. “We believe as a legal matter that setting the enrollment period for this is under state authority, not federal authority,” Ezekiel said. “The feds disagree with us.” As of March 15, 18,691 New Mexico residents had enrolled in the exchange, Ezekiel said. After already adjusting enrollment expectations for 2014 downward from 83,000 to 50,000 because of problems with the federal healthcare.gov

portal, the state is struggling to reach its target. “One of our main goals is to get New Mexicans enrolled,” Damron said. “We feel like the feds let us down with the problems on their website the first two months in late 2013. It really hurt our enrollment capabilities, and we feel like this needs to be extended.” Mike Nuñez, interim chief executive officer of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, worries that discussions about an enrollment deadline extension will prevent some people from signing up for insurance before March 31. “The deadline is still March 31, and everybody should be taking action now,” Nuñez said. “If they don’t take action now, they’ll be waiting until 2015. We’ve not had any official word of an extension at this point.” Under open-government provisions in state law, the exchange board must publicly announce any meetings where it will take action at least three days in advance. That announcement could come early next week if the board plans to extend the enrollment deadline.

Jerome Block Jr. admits drug use Former Public Regulation Commissioner Jerome Block Jr. — who was sentenced to four and half years of probation and electronic monitoring in 2011 after being convicted of multiple charges, including fraudulent use of a state credit card, embezzlement and violating campaign finance laws — pleaded guilty Friday to violating his probation. Block Jr. was arrested Feb. 6 after a routine urinalysis found cocaine and opiates in his system. Block Jr. originally claimed he had taken someone else’s Suboxone pill, medication used to treat an opiate addiction, because he had run out of his supply of the drug,

according to statements made Friday before District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer. But subsequent testing of the sample confirmed the opiates in his urine were either from morphine or heroine. Block Jr. originally pleaded not guilty to the charges last month, but he changed his plea Friday. He’ll be sentenced at a later date. Block Jr.’s attorney, Tom Clark, said he suspects state prosecutors will seek to have his client — who has leukemia — incarcerated for the violation, but Clark will fight that. “Drug and alcoholism is a disease,” Clark said. “Sometimes people have setbacks, that shouldn’t result in him going to prison.” The New Mexican

vides amenities such as meals, clothing, Internet access, a mailing address and other services. Police photos of the damage show that food and liquid products, such as sunscreen and hand sanitizer, were smeared along walls. The vandals also scrawled graffiti throughout the building. Block said furniture and computers were damaged, and the suspects stole a vehicle and later crashed it.

Police believe vandals used that vehicle to joyride across Bicentennial Park on Alto Street, toppling several fences and causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. Block said the vandals caused about $30,000 in damage at the youth center, including the destruction of the stolen station wagon. He said the center would need new furniture and computers in addition

to a vehicle. And while the center is closed, he said, the group’s street outreach staff has been trying to provide some services to the city’s homeless youth. Celina Westervelt, a spokeswoman with the department, said investigators still don’t have any suspects in the vandalism case, but evidence collected at the scene is being analyzed at the state’s forensic lab.

It is a celebration of the uniquely incredible individual that you were. You were our teacher and mentor. You taught us how each day was a gift to be used and enjoyed to its fullest. You taught us how to dream and to "make a wish" come true. In your life there was no whining or giving up, because you defined your own life, a rebel with a cause. You never allowed yourself to feel powerless; and you taught the rest of us that we too can find our own power. It took courage to live your life, to not give in to all the things you were told you could not do, but to follow your own truth and to set an example for all who knew you. Your gift to us was the brightly burning light within you. We miss you and we know you are flying free.

OPINIONS

The West’s oldest newspaper, founded 1849

Farewell, Crimea — now what? T he referendum has come and gone, taking with it the historic Crimean peninsula and returning it to Russia, its ancestral home — ancestral in the sense that Crimea became part of Russia in 1783, under Catherine the Great. Bill Stewart That may not be so Understanding very long Your World ago in the history of nations, but 1783 also saw the end of the American Revolution, with the U.S. emerging victorious as a new country. We tend to regard that date as a very long time ago, underlining our legitimacy as a country. There was dismay in Kiev, as the foregone results were made known, but there was rejoicing in Moscow at the return of a long, lost child. The problem for the West in general, and the U.S. in particular as the leader of the West, is that while we regard the referendum as illegal because it was not sanctioned by the national parliament in Kiev, the fact remains that the vast majority of Crimeans are ethnic Russians who were plainly joyful at the prospect of the referendum and welcomed the chance to rejoin Holy Mother Russia. There was no need to rig the vote, as would have happened in Soviet times, because the referendum offered Crimeans a happy choice. There are certainly many Crimeans who did not want to rejoin Russia, especially the Muslim Tatars, about 12 percent of the population. Their recent ancestors had been driven out of Crimea into exile by a vengeful Josef Stalin, who thought many of them had overtly supported the invading German armies in 1941 and ’42. There is some truth to that accusation. Then there are the ethnic Ukrainians, who make up about 24 percent of the population. A minority of the Ukrainians also supported the invading Germans.

There was no need to rig the vote, as would have happened in Soviet times, because the referendum offered Crimeans a happy choice. understood, Crimea was given to the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine in 1954 by then-Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, himself a Ukrainian. And there it remained, somewhat resentful, until this week’s referendum. The awkward position we find ourselves in is that while we may have the law on our side, Russian President Vladimir Putin has public opinion on his side, both in Russia and in Crimea. It disturbs many of us in the West to hear Putin decry the presence of fascists in Ukraine and Crimea, threatening the lives of ordinary Russians. It seems like old propaganda from World War II, revived as an excuse to intervene in Ukrainian affairs to rescue Russians under attack. But the charge resonates in Russia itself, where some 20 million to 30 million Russians died in the Great Patriotic War, as Russians call World War II. Memories run deep in Russia over the war, just as they run

deep in Israel over the Holocaust. In the West, the words fascist and Nazi are essentially consigned to the past. They are still fraught with meaning in Russia, which suffered perhaps more than any other country in the war. It would be easy to dismiss Putin’s words as hype, a smoke screen to disguise an act of aggression. To a certain extent, I believe that is true. But the fact of the matter remains that fascism is still alive in Ukraine, which has a long history of violent, rightwing extremism. Ukraine’s far-right Svoboda Party and its leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, are cases in point. They use bullyboy tactics to intimidate their opposition. Just this week, they led an attack on the head of Ukraine’s state television, who presumably had views of which Svoboda disapproved. Putin and his party, of course, also use bully-boy tactics against opponents. In fact, unproven charges of murder

hang in the air. But to have four members of an extreme right-wing party in the cabinet only lends credence to Putin’s exaggerated charges and sometimes outright lies. We are in an uneasy partnership with the government of Ukraine. The dictates of foreign policy say we must have a cooperative relationship with Moscow because of our ongoing nuclear relations. They are essential for the peace of the world, and so far have been fruitful. Put simply, these relations are more important than Crimea. On the other hand, we cannot allow a land grab in the form of a referendum to stand. So far, the U.S. and Europe have been nibbling at the edges of anger, with sanctions against individuals known to be Putin’s friends and cronies. Perhaps Russia should be ejected from the G-8, returning the association to its original seven. That could go a ways to destroying international confidence in the Russian economy. Now that’s serious. Bill Stewart writes about current affairs from Santa Fe. He served in the U.S. Foreign Service and was a correspondent for Time magazine.

ivek Murthy is a well-regarded physician and instructor at Harvard Medical School. Like the president he hopes to serve as surgeon general, he supports greater regulation of firearms. That said, the surgeon general has no role in regulating guns, a task that falls to the perennially underfunded and legislatively hobbled Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. So why are the National Rifle Association and its allies in the extreme gun-rights movement so panicked about Murthy? “The surgeon general has the important tasks of providing the American public with information to better inform decisions related to their health and directing much of the federal government’s public health efforts,” said the NRA’s lobbying arm on its website. The crucial words are information and public health. The extreme gun-rights movement makes expansive claims about the benefits of gun ownership. Few of those claims pass even the crudest standards of scholarship. Indeed, many such claims are already bending under the weight of public health research indicating, for example, that gun ownership may be more likely to lead to instances of suicide or homicide than self-defense. Better research is needed on the relationship between guns and public health. The NRA, however, simply cannot abide more research. What if professional, peer-reviewed science exposes many of the gun groups’ claims as nonsense? Of course, the business of fear mongering can advance even as ignorance recedes. But over the past two decades, the NRA has made it abundantly clear that it views quality research as a threat to its agenda. The politics of guns is often a stage for cowardice. Informed, data-driven discussion of public health has the potential to undermine attempts to spread fear. That’s why the NRA wants that discussion — and President Barack Obama’s surgeon general nominee — muzzled before it gets any further. From the standpoint of the gun lobby, opposition to Murthy may seem necessary and even rational. From the standpoint of the public good, however, it is counterproductive and even corrupt.

The past 100 years LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Distinctions in discrimination C onservatives are wrong to equate Antonio Darden’s refusal to cut Gov. Susana Martinez’s hair with Elaine Huguenin’s refusal to photograph same-sex marriage ceremonies. Huguenin was discriminating against one of the many groups of people of whom she morally disapproved. This is precisely what Christians did in Nazi Germany when they refused to sell goods and services to Jews and other “inferior groups.” Millions perished even before their families were shipped off to death camps. Darden, by contrast, simply refused to provide a service to an individual who had gone on record as wanting to legalize discrimination. Had he refused to cut the hair of a Ku Klux Klan member who espoused separate but equal treatment of people of color, no one would have said a word. Arizona Senate Bill 1062 would have institutionalized Jim Crow-like discrimination. It also would have resulted in social and economic chaos. Anyone could have refused to provide goods and

services to anyone else, citing their “sincere religious beliefs” as the reason.

Defending service In reference to the deputy police chief defending the $50 rent of a home site at a city park, it would seem that this is another sterling example of the way our employees take advantage of the taxpayers they are supposed to serve (“Deputy chief defends $50 rent for site at city park,” March 20).

A great need There’s a great need at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe on Alto Street for volunteers, artists and teachers to step up and help 15 or so children at least one afternoon a week. Including preparation and cleanup time, the hours run from about 3 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. In addition to children “playing” at arts and crafts, there are seriously talented little artists at the center who could use guidance. The room is fully equipped, and there are volunteers to act as assistants. For more information, call Lou Finley at 988-7278. Jillian Brasch

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 22, 1914: Cloudcroft — The work for good and better roads continues in this section of the state. Recently, the road committee of the Business Men’s Association drew up a letter petitioning the Otero County road board to appoint J.M. Poss of this city road supervisor at Cloudcroft. This means a great deal to this section of the county for the reason that the mountain roads are the hardest in the county to keep in repair, owing to the heavy snows in winter and rains in summer. March 22, 1964: Las Cruces — Schoolteachers from five New Mexico counties have attacked a state Board of Education ruling against teacher strikes. Some 400 persons at the 28th annual convention approved a resolution objecting to the ruling. “The welfare of 10,000 teachers in New Mexico was discussed without consulting the teachers.” Teachers who have not gone on strike and have no intention of going on strike still feel they have the right to do so if they feel it necessary. March 22, 1989: Despite strong objections from a competing garbage-truck company, members of the city Finance Committee on Monday recommended buying two trucks from the highest bidder, saying the recommended trucks have a longer life expectancy. The City Council voted in favor of paying Clark Truck Equipment Company of Albuquerque $388,173 for two garbage trucks, $32,980 more than the bid from Great Basin Southwest Trucks, also of Albuquerque.

DETROIT — An arrest warrant has been issued for Grammy Award-winning singer Anita Baker. A Wayne County Circuit judge signed off on the warrant this week. It was sought by the lawyer for a company that says Baker owes it $15,000 for work done on her Grosse Pointe home. Baker’s lawyer, Jamal Hamood, says says Baker didn’t know she had been sued in 2011 by Ray A. Smith Painting & Decorating. The company’s lawyer, Daniel Gerow, told The Detroit News he doesn’t want Baker to go to jail, but only wants to see his client get paid. The Associated Press

This “pink panther” turned into a cash cow for writer-director Blake Edwards, thanks to the magical alchemy that occurred when Peter Sellers was cast as bumbling Inspector Clouseau, a role originally intended for Peter Ustinov.

NEW YORK t’s been more than 22 years since Anita Hill sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee in that famous bright blue suit — one she could never bring herself to wear again — to make the sexual harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas that transfixed a nation. And much has changed since then. But not everything. “I hope you rot in hell,” went an email that Hill, now 57 and a professor at Brandeis University, received just a few weeks ago from a member of the public. After all this time? “Yes,” Hill says, with a resigned air. “As they go, this one was fairly mild. But it happens. And it’ll happen again.” Especially now. The softspoken Hill, who still speaks in the same calm, precise tone many remember from 1991, has for two decades been living a quiet academic life, occasionally venturing out to speak about sexual harassment but often declining interviews. But she’s about to enter the maelstrom again with the release Friday of a new documentary, Anita, by the Oscarwinning filmmaker Freida Mock. After years of declining requests to collaborate on a film about her experiences, she said yes. Why now? Hill says she was inspired by the reactions she was getting from people as the 20th anniversary of those Supreme Court confirmation hearings approached — particularly in 2010, when news broke that she’d received a voice mail from Thomas’ wife, Virginia, asking Hill to “consider an apology.” (That voice mail opens the film.) “People responded with outrage to that,” Hill says. “But even more, I realized that here we are 20 years later and the issues are still resonating — in the workplace, in universities, in the military. So if 1991 could help us start a conversation, how then can we move this to another level? Because clearly we haven’t eliminated the problem.” Experts agree the problem surely hasn’t been eliminated. But many cite Hill’s testimony as a landmark event, in both social and legal terms. “Back then, this was an invisible issue, until Anita testified,” says Marcia D. Greenberger, founder and co-president of the National Women’s Law Center. Not only did Hill’s testimony raise public consciousness about sexual harassment in the workplace, she says, and spur other women to make claims, but only months later, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which addressed issues of employment discrimination, was passed with strong support. “That happened in direct response to the growing realization of what the American public had seen in the hearings,” Greenberger contends. It’s clear that Hill became, and remains, a heroine to many women. It’s also clear that while she doesn’t reject it, she remains somewhat uncomfortable with the status. “In some ways I’m not very well suited for that position of heroine,” she says. Hill says that in her day-to-day life, “1991 just doesn’t figure in.”

11 p.m. on on HBO John Leguizamo’s Ghetto Klown In his fifth solo special for HBO, the comedian takes his audience on a roller-coaster ride through his life, from his childhood through his early days as an actor to his later success in films and television. Leguizamo doesn’t shy away from the difficult parts, including his battles with negativity, self-doubt and depression, but he does it with a light touch that will keep you laughing.

“

Can you believe it was just 22 years ago? It’s like Mad Men.” Anita Hill Case in point: At Brandeis, many of her students don’t even know about her past. Hill points out that her grad students were only children in 1991, and the undergrads weren’t even born. “It doesn’t bother me,” she says. “It’s important to help them focus on what their learning objectives are, and not on me as a person.” Reluctant heroine or not, Hill often evokes a passionate response, says filmmaker Mock, who has accompanied Hill at film-related events. “She was a reluctant witness, and she remains a reluctant public figure,” Mock adds. “But she is proud to be a part of this journey that she never intended to be on.” In fact, Hill says, before all this, she’d planned to build a career in international commercial law, perhaps in Europe. “It would have been a very different life!” she laughs. A life, likely, without hate mail. Hill says the worst part wasn’t the actual hours spent testifying about painfully explicit matters, or when Thomas was ultimately confirmed to the Supreme Court, but what happened when she returned to her teaching job at the University of Oklahoma. “I was getting threats,” she said. “People were trying to get me fired. Friends of mine were fired.” At the same time, she was getting bundles of letters of support from across the country. But the threat of losing her job felt more immediate. Hill left the university in 1996, and landed at Brandeis soon after. In 2007, she was back in the news when Thomas wrote a book, My Grandfather’s Son, in which he described her as rude, a mediocre worker, a liar, and his “most traitorous adversary.” She wrote a New York Times op-ed piece saying she would not allow Thomas to “reinvent” her. Hill has had no contact with Thomas, who had no comment for this article; she also never answered his wife’s phone call. The sight of that all-white, all-male panel, in clear contrast to Hill, is one of the more striking visuals in Anita. “Can you believe it was just 22 years ago?” she says. “It’s like Mad Men. It was such a harsh contrast between who they were, and me and how I looked, in that blue suit,” she says. “It was a reflection of their power and privilege. And I think the public saw that and related to me — though at the time, I just felt isolated.” What if the hearings were to happen now? Much would be different, Hill believes, including the language used by the senators. “I do not believe we would have an [Sen.] Alan Simpson saying ‘that sexual harassment crap,’ ” she says. “The conversation has changed. We have accepted that these are important issues.” Speaking of the suit, we have to ask: What happened to it? “You’re not going to ask me if it still fits, are you?” she asks with mock alarm.

While some schools dream of the Final Four, all UNM wanted was the Sweet 16. National title? Not here. Everyone in Loboland is blinded by the tournament’s second weekend. So goodbye, outgoing seniors Kendall Williams and Cameron Bairstow — two of the best the program has ever had. While Bairstow’s swan song was nothing short of what we’ve come to expect this season, Williams’ departure goes down in Lobo lore alongside other senior-season exits that are best forgotten. Like Kenny Thomas and his final stat line (one point against UConn in 1999) and Charles Smith (16 points, but only five in the second half before inexplicably passing to David Gibson for the final shot in a loss to Louisville in 1997). Toss in the food-poisoning episode of ’93 for good measure. So, so long Lobos. I’d like to say better luck next time, but we all know what next time will probably bring.

Stanford gives Lobos a familiar exit from NCAAs By R.B. Fallstrom

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS nother banner season for New Mexico has been tarnished by an early NCAA exit. The Lobos got a big game from Cameron Bairstow but never quite dug out of an Stanford 58 early 16-point deficit, losing UNM 53 58-53 to Stanford in the second round of the South Regional on Friday. New Mexico has been seeded as a 3, 5, 3 and 7 each of the last four trips into the NCAAs since 2010. They have just two wins to show for it, including one-and-done results each of the last two years. “Not a lot of fun,” first-year coach Craig Neal said. “We’ve been here before.” Chasson Randle scored 23 points and No. 10 seed Stanford made an impression in its first NCAA appearance since 2008, leading almost start to finish. The Cardinal (22-12) used a 17-0 run early in the first half to open a 20-4 lead before the Lobos rallied to tie the game midway through the second half. Randle and seldom-used guard Robbie Lemmons combined for four crucial free throws in the final halfminute after New Mexico had cut what was a seven-point deficit in the

Raton beats Robertson By James Barron The New Mexican

A spot in the championship game of the Lady Horsemen Invitational was on the line Friday, but it was more a prelude of what is to come in District 2AAA softball. If Raton’s 9-7 eight-inning win over Raton 9 fellow 2AAA member Las Vegas RobRobertson 7 ertson in the tournament semifinal at Christian Brothers Athletic Complex on the St. Michael’s campus was any indicator, the district race will be full of twists and turns. Sort of like how the Lady Tigers rallied from a 6-4 deficit in the top of the seventh inning with two runs to force extra innings, then tacked on three more in the eighth for the win. Or how the Lady Cardinals, who played flawlessly on the field for the first six innings, saw two errors in the final two frames halt a 5-0 start to their season. Meanwhile, Raton saw its record improve to 4-0. In a district that also includes last year’s AAA runner-up, West Las Vegas, all this means is that the race for the 2AAA title will be intense. “Me and my coaches have been talking about that,” said Raton head coach Tinabeth Dorrance. “It’s always a com-

Indians will face St. Michael’s in tournament championship Saturday By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

It may be the smallest school in the tournament, but the Cobre baseball team is playing for a championship. The Indians kept Española Valley to just two hits in an 8-1 win in the semifinals of the Jim Cobre 8 Pierce Memorial Tournament on Friday, after the game ended in the sixth Española 1 inning in accordance with the twohour time limit. Cobre (4-1 overall) plays St. Michael’s for the championship at 4 p.m. on Saturday, leaving the Sundevils to play for third place against Bloomfield at 1:30 p.m. Cobre, the defending Class AA champion as well as the defending tournament champion, won both of its tournament games by a 21-1 margin. If it looks like the Indians are trying to dominate the tournament, it’s because they are. They didn’t travel all the way from Bayard just to return empty-handed. “We’re trying to win a championship, that’s what we came up here for,” Cobre head coach Artie Sanchez said. “These kids are expected to win, and we’re going to win no matter who they put out there.” The last time St. Michael’s and Cobre met, it was in the 2012 AAA semifinals, when Cobre won 5-4. The stakes aren’t as high this time, but a championship is still on the line. “We just want to play a good game [Saturday],” Sanchez said. “St. Mike’s is probably the favorite because it’s their

raton: Tourney previews district play Continued from Page B-1 petitive district, it really is. It’s going to be even more so this year. I think all of us are evenly matched.” Which makes the little things all the more important. Robertson built a 6-4 lead thanks in part to three Lady Tigers errors. The first two came in a threerun second as the Lady Cardinals rallied from and early 2-0 deficit to take a 4-2 lead. The third one occurred in the sixth, as Cadence Sisneros failed to glove Shania Dorrance’s throw to second base for a force out of Robertson baserunner Amber Yara with one out. Yara scampered to third, and scored on Alicia Jaramillo’s sacrifice fly to center field for 6-4. It looked like insurance for the Lady Cardinals, especially with the defense performing well. When Shania Dorrance grounded to third base with one out and a runner at first in the seventh, all Elicia Trujillo had to do was hit second baseman Marissa Archuleta for the force play. Only her throw sailed behind Archuleta and Raton runner Mariah Romero scampered to third. The margin disappeared when Kallista Dorrance roped a two-run, ground-rule double that vanished through a crack in fence in right field for 6-all. “I calmed down and said, ‘If we score a run, then it starts to rally,’ ” Kallista Dorrance said. “So, I was praying to hit the ball. And I made a good hit.” Extra innings beckoned, and the Lady Tigers took advantage. Rhiannon Barela hammered an RBI double to left field for 7-6, Raton, and later scored when the Lady Cardinals botched a rundown between home plate and third .Romero’s infield hit tacked on a third run for 9-6. “What I saw out of our girls is that we went into a little bit of a panic mode,” said Adrian Jaramillo, Robertson head coach. “That kind of choked us up on the field and in the box a little. But that’s good early in the season because we are going to have to work through that.” After all, the district season begins in just two weeks, and Raton visits Robertson on April 12. Who knows what will be on the line

then? At least the teams know what to expect. OTHER SEMIFINAL Bernalillo 8, St. Michael’S 0 Demetria Magdalena might be one of the toughest pitchers in the state, but the Lady Spartans are starting to see their bats speak more loudly. Bernalillo had nine hits and capitalized on four Lady Horsemen errors to advance to the championship game. It was only a 3-0 margin when the Lady Spartans (5-3) turned a fielding error by St. Michael’s first baseman Alli Berhost into two runs. Cristiana Gabaldon bobbled a grounder an inning later that spurred another two-run outburst for 7-0. Still, Bernalillo head coach Manuel Montano would like to see more oomph from his offense. “We’re manufacturing runs right now, we’re not just swinging the bat great,” Montano said. “We’re moving girls over. Girls that need to steal, they are. If you want to call it manufacturing runs, I think that’s the best word for it.”

Meanwhile, Magdalena allowed just two hits to the Lady Horsemen (1-3) and struck out 15 in another complete-game effort. CONSOLATION ROUND Pojoaque Valley 5, alBuqueruqe acadeMy 4 The Elkettes live off the credo, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” They stranded 14 baserunners through six innings and trailed 4-0. The hits finally came together in the seventh. Kaylene Jacquez and Kyra Romero had RBI singles to get Pojoaque within 4-2, then Justice Ainsworth smashed a two-run double for the walkoff win. “We were being patient and hitting everything right at them,” said Rick DeHerrera, Pojoaque head coach. “The last inning, we kept telling them to have that sense of urgency.” The Elkettes play Española Valley, which beat Capital 15-2 in the other conslation semifinal, for fifth place at noon.

cobre: Small school has big district plans Continued from Page B-1

tournament.” St. Michael’s got out of a close one with Bloomfield, and it expects the same against the Indians. “Any time we play Cobre, we don’t expect anything but a good game,” St. Michael’s head coach David Vigil said. Cobre kept things close with Española — at least for one inning. The Indians got on the board first when first baseman Jordan Benfield hit a two-run home run over the left field fence in the top of the first inning. In the next frame, Española (5-4) pitcher Jacob Osegueda ran home on a throwing error to third base from Cobre pitcher Andy Gomez for the Sundevils’ only run. Española’s Manny Otero then tripled to left field in the bottom of the second inning for the Sundevils’ second and final hit. “We’re not going to win games by getting two hits off a fastball pitcher,” Española head coach Anthony Alarid said. “We should be pounding the ball. They want to hit it out of the park instead of just making contact. Those are the types of things that we need to work on.” A lack of hitting wasn’t the only thing that plagued the Sundevils. An overthrow from catcher James Martinez as he was trying to prevent Cobre’s Nick Salas from stealing second base led to two Cobre runs for a 6-1 lead. “As far as fielding goes, we’re doing all right,” Alarid said. “Where we’re stumbling is in certain situations. Today, it was their running game, we just couldn’t stop it. We can’t afford to make those types of errors and give

away runs.” St. Michael’S 1, BlooMfield 0 The Horsemen only got one hit Friday, but that’s all they needed to advance to the championship game. That hit came when second baseman Mike Rivera singled in the bottom of the third inning, but the lone St. Michael’s (7-4) run came when freshman center fielder Chross Jaramillo snuck his way to home plate on a sacrifice bunt by first baseman Isaac Olivares. St. Michael’s pitcher Matt Smallwood allowed four hits but no runs. “It was a typical pitchers duel,” St. Michael’s head coach David Vigil said. “It just came down to a little bit of strategy.” Jaramillo will start on the mound against Cobre on Saturday. Bloomfield moved to 1-3 on the season. laS VegaS roBertSon 12, Santa fe high 10 (Six inningS) Both teams scored seven runs in the first two innings, but the Cardinals outscored the Demons 5-3 the rest of the way before the game was called in the sixth inning after the two-hour tournament time limit.

The Tigers’ final score came when Brandon Romero hit a solo home run in the fourth inning.

EAST REGIONAL ROUNDUP

Virginia fends off Coastal Carolina The Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Anthony Gill scored 17 points to help No. 1 seed Virginia pull away late and beat Coastal Carolina 70-59 on Friday night, avoidVirginia 70 ing a historic upset in the NCAA TournaCo. Carolina 59 ment. The Cavaliers, the top seed in the East Region, trailed by 10 in the first half and five at halftime to the 16th-seeded Chanticleers before pushing ahead for good with about 9 minutes left. A No. 16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, and the Cavs (29-6) ensured history would wait at least another year. Evan Nolte came off the bench and hit two huge 3-pointers to help Virginia finally push away from the Big South champion Chanticleers (21-13), who were in the tournament for the first time in 21 years. The game was tied at 47 before Nolte’s 3s powered a 23-7 spurt that finally put the game away. MEMPHIS 71, GEORGE WASHINGTON 66 In Raleigh, N.C., Michael Dixon Jr. scored

19 points and hit four free throws in the final 10 seconds to help Memphis hold off George Washington. Joe Jackson added 15 points for the eighth-seeded Tigers (24-9). They entered the tournament having lost three of five to fall out of the national rankings, and shot 49 percent in this one but struggled to put the ninth-seeded Colonials away until the final seconds. Isaiah Armwood scored a season-high 21 points after playing the final 12 minutes with four fouls for ninth-seeded GW (24-9), which was just 2 of 12 from 3-point range yet never fell behind by more than 10 points. Leading scorer Maurice Creek — who averages 14 points — finished with nine on 2-of-13 shooting for GW, but he airballed a 3-pointer in the final seconds that would have tied it. NORTH CAROLINA 79, PROVIDENCE 77 In San Antonio, Texas, James Michael McAdoo sank two free throws in the final 3.5 seconds, and No. 6 seed North Carolina rallied to beat 11th-seeded Providence. Providence’s Bryce Cotton scored a career-high 36 points and made one dazzling shot after another down the stretch. But he also fumbled a long rebound in the final moments, robbing the Friars of a

chance for a last-second miracle. Had North Carolina (24-9) lost, it would’ve been the first time since 1979 the Tar Heels and rival Duke lost on the same day of the tournament. The Blue Devils fell earlier to 14th-seeded Mercer, and the Friars nearly handed North Carolina a similar stunner. Marcus Paige led North Carolina with 19 points. IOWA STATE 93, NC CENTRAL 75 In San Antonio, Texas, Georges Niang scored 24 points to lead third-seeded Iowa State as the Cyclones pulled away from No. 14 North Carolina Central in the second half for a win. The Big 12 Tournament champions found themselves in an early struggle with a program making its first NCAA Tournament appearance in just its third year as a fulltime Division I program. But the Cyclones’ quickness and balance eventually took over. Iowa State (27-7) had five players score in double figures. Niang’s two 3-pointers early in the second half keyed Iowa State’s run that put the game away. Jeremy Ingram scored 28 for North Carolina Central (28-6), which came in on a 20-game win streak and won the MidEastern Athletic Conference.

MIDWEST REGIONAL ROUNDUP

Wichita State goes to 35-0 with rout of Cal Poly

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Cleananthony Early had 23 points, and unbeaten Wichita State faced no resistance from Cal Poly, going to 35-0 for the best start Wichita St. 64 in NCAA history with a 64-37 rout of Cal Poly Cal Poly 37 in the Midwest Region on Friday night. The Shockers (35-0) dominated from the tip-off against the only team with a sub-.500 record in the tournament. With the exception of Early, most of the glaring numbers were on defense. The losers managed 13 points in the first half and shot 21 percent. Malik Love had nine points for Cal Poly (14-20), which won the Big West tournament as the No. 7 seed and beat Texas Southern in First Four game before being held to a season low for points. Chris Eversley, the Big West tourney MVP and

Highlands baseball beats Colorado Mesa Pinch hitter Matthew Chavez’s runscoring double in the bottom of the ninth inning capped a three-run rally as New Mexico Highlands beat visiting Colorado Mesa 12-11 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference baseball action Friday in Las Vegas, N.M. The Cowboys (12-10, 9-3) rallied from a 6-0 deficit to tie the game in the seventh,

coming off a 19-point game, was held to six points on 2-for-14 shooting. TENNESSEE 86, MASSACHUSETTS 67 In Raleigh, N.C., Jarnell Stokes scored a career-high 26 points and grabbed 14 rebounds to help Tennessee beat Massachusetts. Jordan McRae added 21 points for the Volunteers (23-12), the No. 11 seed in the Midwest Regional. Tennessee had little trouble with the sixth-seeded Minutemen (24-9), shooting 54 percent from the field and handling UMass’ fullcourt pressure in a surprisingly one-sided performance that included another solid defensive showing. The Vols are in the NCAAs for the first time in three seasons, starting with a First Four overtime win against Iowa. Now they are headed to Sunday’s third round to face 14th-seeded Mercer, who upset Duke in Friday. Chaz Williams and Maxie Esho scored 12 points each for UMass in its first NCAA appearance since 1998. But the Minutemen

then rallied from an 11-6 hole in the eighth to win it. NMHU reliever Phil Trujillo (2-0), a true freshman from Albuquerque, got the win in relief as he tossed 1⅓ innings of perfect relief. Reigning RMAC pitcher of the week Blake Harrison started, but he gave up nine hits and six runs in five innings. “I’m never putting a guy in for pitcher of the week again,” said NMHU head coach Steve Jones. “Every time we do, the guy who wins it pitches crappy for us the next outing.”

fell behind by double figures early, trailed by 20 points before halftime and never got closer than 10 again. KENTUCKY 56, KANSAS STATE 49 In St. Louis, Julius Randle had 19 points and 15 rebounds, Aaron Harrison finished with 18 points, and No. 8 seed Kentucky beat Kansas State to earn a date with topseeded Wichita State. The preseason No. 1, Kentucky (25-10) is finally starting to live up to the expectations that came with its heralded recruiting class. John Calipari’s bunch nearly knocked of Florida in the SEC title game last week and seemed to carry that momentum into the NCAA Tournament on Friday night. Now, the question is whether it will continue on Sunday. The Shockers rolled over Cal Poly to improve to 35-0 earlier in the night. Marcus Foster had 15 points, Shane Southwell scored 11 and Thomas Gipson finished with 10 for Kansas State (20-13).

Harrison’s woes aside, Highlands did do well at the plate. The Cowboys had 18 hits, including the sixth home run of the season from Morgan McCasland. He was one of five players with multiple hits. Chavez came to the plate with no outs and runners at the corners. His hit plated pinch runner E.J. Stanton from third. The teams will play again in a doubleheader on Saturday, then have a single game Sunday. The New Mexican

NCAA TOURNAMENT

THE NEW MEXICAN Saturday, March 22, 2014

Lobos: UNM leaves more ‘unfinished business’ behind Continued from Page B-1 waning moments down to two. Stanford plays No. 2 seed Kansas on Sunday with a berth to the Sweet 16 on the line. UNM, meanwhile, is headed home without taking care of “unfinished business,” the school’s unofficial theme after its memorable loss to Harvard in last year’s first round. “Yeah, I think it was something more for the fans, that tag,” Bairstow said. “I think we as a team had, of course, expectations of postseason success, especially after last year. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t get it done.” Bairstow had 24 points and eight rebounds but the Lobos (27-7) got next to nothing from senior guard Kendall Williams and junior center Alex Kirk. The pair averaged 30 points this season. On Friday they combined for six. Williams was 1-for-9 from the field, 0 of 6 from 3-point range and had just three points. “We didn’t try to do anything in particular,” Stanford guard Anthony Brown said. “For me, I just wanted to use my length on Kendall. Knowing him, playing with him when I was little, I had a pretty good understanding of some of his tendencies and we knew we didn’t want to let him get into a rhythm early.” Kirk picked up two early fouls and stutter-stepped his way through one of the worst games of his season. He didn’t hit a shot and all three of his points came from the free throw line. He attempted just three shots in 26 minutes, grabbing six rebounds. “I think it was a byproduct of foul trouble,” Neal said, adding, “You know, it’s just one of those things where he couldn’t get it going, couldn’t get in a rhythm, and I think the foul trouble hurt him.” The Lobos got a combined four points from their bench, all of them from freshman guard Cullen Neal. It was his fastbreak layup with 10 minutes remaining in the second half that tied the game at 45. He was fouled on the play but missed a free throw that would have given UNM its first lead since it was 4-3 in the initial stages.

Stanford responded to Neal’s miss with a 7-0 run that was part of another extended dry spell for UNM. The Lobos went nearly seven minutes without scoring and had just two points — a jumper by Bairstow — over a disastrous nine-minute span. Neal was at a loss to describe the program’s woes on the sport’s biggest stage. “We’ve done about everything you can do,” Neal said. “It’s just getting better in the tournament. I just wanted to get these guys back and have another chance, it just didn’t work out for us this time.” Except for winning Friday, Neal said he wouldn’t have changed a thing. “Just really proud about what they did and really happy for their careers,” Neal said. “I just wish it would have ended a little better way.” Long-range shooting was a key, with Stanford going 8-for-15 — including 3 of 3 by Anthony Brown — and New Mexico going just 4 for 21. Each of UNM’s first two tries from distance were airballs while the third barely grazed the rim. It’s a story typical of UNM’s tournament woes. They were held to 11 points in a 2005 loss to Villanova and shot 26 percent from the floor in a 1999 loss to Connecticut. In a 2012 loss to Louisville they made just 5 of 23 shots from 3-point range and last year’s loss to Harvard saw them shoot 37 percent from the field. “We did win a championship,” Williams said, referring to the team’s Mountain West Conference tournament title. “We had a chance to win our regular season championship. And it is just disappointing coming this far.” Stanford got away with an off-day from forward Dwight Powell, who missed all eight shots, fouled out and scored three points. Powell averages 14.2 points, second on the team. Brown added 10 points and seven rebounds for the Cardinal and Stefan Nastic had 10 points and five rebounds. The Lobos’ defense was again solid. After Stanford hit eight of its first 10 shots, it went just 9-for-39 the rest of the way. New Mexico got within 32-27 at halftime as Bairstow went on to score 22 of the team’s first 40 points.

Mercer: Bears vets kept their cool Continued from Page B-1 anymore. Since 2012, Duke has lost twice in its tournament opener to low seeds. In 2012, 15th-seeded Lehigh of the Patriot League defeated second-seeded Duke, 75-70, in Greensboro, N.C. Now Mercer has done it. The Bears (27-8) will play 11th-seeded Tennessee on Sunday. “We’re a very veteran team,” Gollon said. “We’ve been saying it all week, every time everybody’s asking us about that kind of stuff. We’ve got a lot of seniors and a lot of high-character seniors. “When it gets tough out there, when it gets loud to call plays and stuff, a lot of guys stay focused, keep everyone calm and stay collected in those heated moments.” In the Duke locker room, Parker cried. He shot 4 of 14 from the field, including 0 of 3 from 3-point range. “We put pressure on ourselves,” Parker said before breaking down into tears. “Got to be a man about it. I’ve got to take the responsibility.” Before the tournament, it seemed certain that Parker was set to move on to the NBA. He could be the No. 1 overall pick in the June draft. After the game, Parker made no commitments. Asked to describe his feelings about his Duke career, he said, “Incompletion.” He added: “I don’t know

what I’m going to do. I don’t know what I’m going to do.” Some had thought that Duke might challenge for the national title. But on a day when Parker and forward Rodney Hood were largely neutralized, Duke’s guards could not carry the team. They tried, with Quinn Cook scoring 23 for the Blue Devils (26-9) and Rasheed Sulaimon adding 20. “The tournament sometimes places you in a position where you have a younger team than the team you’re playing against,” said Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, who praised his Mercer counterpart, Bob Hoffman. “Not just younger in age, but in physical maturity. They’re a strong team. And he’s a heck of a coach. And our inside guys were young at times.” Duke took a 63-58 lead with 4:52 to go on three free throws by senior Tyler Thornton. After a tight game, it appeared that the higher seed with the bigger talent was going to come through. But Mercer came back, and a 3-pointer by Anthony White Jr. tied the score at 63-63 with 2:43 left. After Gollon’s free throws, Mercer slowly pulled away. Daniel Coursey’s layup and free throw made the score 68-63, and the lead stretched to 73-66 in the final minute. Then the clock ran out on Duke, which started a lineup of one freshman, three sophomores and Thornton.

WEST REGIONAL ROUNDUP

Baylor advances; Nebraska’s Miles ejected squash the dream quickly with two big second-half runs, but Weber State fought its way back from a 21-point deficit to make it close in the second half. Arizona blocked 12 shots, held Weber State to 30 percent shooting and made 55 percent of its shots to earn a spot in Sunday’s third round against Gonzaga or Oklahoma State. Davion Berry had 24 points to lead Weber State (19-12) in its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Cory Jefferson scored 16 points, and No. 6 seed Baylor kept 11th-seeded Baylor 74 Nebraska winless in Nebraska 60 its NCAA Tournament history with a 74-60 second-round victory Friday.

Terran Petteway scored 18 points for Nebraska (19-13), which fell to 0-7 in tournament history. The Cornhuskers hadn’t played on this stage since 1998 and often looked like it. Frustration boiled over for Big Ten coach of the year Tim Miles, who was ejected with 11 minutes left. CREIGHTON 76, LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE 66 In San Antonio, Texas, Doug McDermott scored 30 points, and third-seeded Creighton got three huge 3-pointers in the second half from Ethan Wragge to beat No. 14 Louisiana-Lafayette.

SOUTH REGIONAL ROUNDUP

Lumberjacks pull off upset of VCU in OT The tense moments still weren’t done. With 14 seconds left, SFA’s Thomas Walkup made 1 of 2 free throws, giving VCU a final shot the win. The Rams got a good look, too, working the ball to Lewis for an open 3-pointer on the wing. His shot went long, the Lumberjacks grabbed the rebound, then stormed the floor after improbably extending the nation’s second-longest winning streak to 29 games.

The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Meet your new NCAA Tournament darlings: The Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks. Trailing most of the second half after a meltdown against Virginia Commonwealth’s relentless S.F. Austin 77 pressure, the gritty ‘Jacks tied the game on VCU 75 Desmond Haymon’s improbable four-play play with 3.6 seconds left in regulation and survived in overtime for a 77-75 win over VCU on Friday night. In an NCAA Tournament that’s been filled with upsets and wild finishes, SFA pulled off one for the ages. The South Region’s No. 5 seed, VCU (23-10) was firmly in control after its swarming defense flustered SFA during a big second-half run. The feisty and 12th-seeded Lumberjacks (32-2) kept hanging around, though, and came up with the kind of finish that’s sure to make one them of the bracket’s favorites this year. Given a chance after VCU’s Jordan Burgess missed two free throws with 10 seconds left, the Lumberjacks worked the ball around to the wing, where Haymon launched a 3-pointer and was fouled

by JaQuan Lewis. The crowd was still buzzing when VCU called timeout to try icing Haymon, but the senior calmly knocked the free throw down. After a desperation heave by VCU failed at the end of regulation, and then Haymon put the ’Jacks ahead in overtime on a 3-pointer with 2 minutes left.

KANSAS 80, EASTERN KENTUCKY 69 In St. Louis, Andrew Wiggins scored 19 points, Jamari Traylor and Perry Ellis had double-doubles, and second-seeded Kansas pulled away down the stretch to beat pesky Eastern Kentucky. Traylor finished with 17 points and 14 rebounds, and Ellis had 14 points and 13 boards for the Jayhawks (25-9), who trailed 56-53 with 9 minutes to go before their game-ending charge. They advanced to play No. 10 seed Stanford, a 58-53 winner over seventh-seeded New Mexico, on Sunday in the third round of the South Regional. Glenn Cosey hit five 3-pointers and had 17 points for the 15th-seeded Colonels (24-10), the Ohio Valley Conference champions. Tarius Johnson and Eric Stutz finished with 15 points apiece.

COMMENTARY

Mercers of the world deserve more respect By Paul Newberry The Associated Press

s we watch one so-called favorite after another fall in the NCAA Tournament, it’s not really accurate to call them upsets anymore. The latest team to show how little the names on the front of the jerseys matter these days is Mercer, a small, private school from Middle Georgia that turned storied Duke into one-and-done on Friday. Nothing fluky about this game. The Bears were simply the better team against Coach K and his blue bloods from Durham, both on the court and with their postgame moves. Seriously, if Dancing With The Stars doesn’t give a shout to Mercer’s Kevin Canevari after his killer rendition of the Nae Nae, there’s no justice in this world. For now, let’s focus on another kind of justice. It’s time for the selection committee to get with the times, to recognize how much the college basketball landscape has changed in the past decade or so. In this era of here-today, gone-tomorrow stars at so many of the high-profile schools, the out-of-touch group that decides who gets an invite to its 68-team party is leaving a lot of deserving teams on the sideline. Mercer is a good place to start. The Bears actually won the Atlantic Sun Conference a year ago, but were upset in the final of their league tournament by Florida Gulf Coast. Everyone knows the rest of the story. Mercer was sent packing to the NIT, while Dunk City got the A-Sun’s automatic bid and went on to become the darlings of last year’s NCAAs with their thoroughly entertaining run to the Sweet 16. This year, Mercer and Florida Gulf Coast tied for the conference title with matching 14-4 records, but it was the Bears getting payback in the A-Sun tournament

by knocking off the Eagles on their home court. While Florida Gulf Coast settled for the NIT consolation prize, Mercer and its five senior starters claimed their first NCAA berth since 1985. It’s obvious they were both worthy of invitations to the Big Dance. This year and last. “There was no doubt in my mind that we were going to be there and have an opportunity” to beat Duke, Mercer coach Bob Hoffman said. “Everybody was calling us underdogs. I told them before we ran out, ‘Let’s be super dogs.’ ” The NCAA could possibly take a step in the right direction by eliminating the automatic qualifiers, to give the committee more discretion in assembling the most-deserving field. But more than that, there needs to be a change in attitude, to acknowledge they play some pretty good hoops in conferences such as the Sun Belt, where Georgia State went 17-1 in conference play, lost in overtime to Louisiana-Lafayette in the final of its league tournament, and was probably never even considered for a spot in the NCAAs. Frankly, we would’ve taken both Georgia State and Florida Gulf Coast over schools such as the seventh-place team from the Big 12 or the sixth-place squad from the ACC — especially after watching Lafayette give third-seeded Creighton a scare on Friday. Mercer isn’t alone in this tournament trend formerly known as the upset bandwagon. On the first full day of the tournament, Harvard and North Dakota State pretty much wiped out everyone’s brackets by beating Cincinnati and Oklahoma, respectively. Dayton surprised a lot of folks, too, with a one-point squeaker over their snooty neighbors at Ohio State — you know, from the mighty Big Ten. But, seriously folks, these guys at these lesser-known schools are pretty good.

Maybe not quite as talented and deep as the teams they’re beating, but they make up for it with experience and a sense of togetherness that can’t be measured by the RPI. Plus, they tend to play with a chip on their shoulders, having been passed over by the big boys during recruiting and eager to show they would’ve fared just fine in a prestigious league such as the Atlantic Coast Conference. Count Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski among the converts. “They’re not just experienced,” he said of Mercer, the only team in the NCAA field that has started five seniors all season. “They’re good.” That was quite a change from Krzyzewski’s less-than-flattering assessment of another league that most people rank a notch behind the power conferences but ahead of leagues such as the Atlantic Sun. Last weekend during the ACC Tournament, Krzyzewski insisted the Atlantic 10 wasn’t deserving of six schools in the NCAA field. “Come on,” he said dismissively. “I mean, they’re good, but put them in our conference and go through the meat grinder that our conference has to go through.” Turns out, the selection committee got that one right. Dayton advanced. Saint Louis knocked off North Carolina State — of the ACC, no less — in overtime. Saint Joseph gave UConn all it could handle before falling in OT. If Coach K wants to keep arguing that not all those A-10 teams were deserving, he’ll have plenty of time to do it now. His season is over. Not so for Mercer and Harvard and North Dakota State. They’ll be playing on the weekend. If there’s any justice, more teams just like them will get their shot next year. Paul Newberry is a national writer for The Associated Press.

Today is Saturday, March 22, the 81st day of 2014. There are 284 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On March 22, 1934, the first Masters Tournament opened under the title “Augusta National Invitation Tournament,” which was won three days later by Horton Smith.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, March 22, 2014: This year you deal with the unexpected. How you land is your call. You often trigger unpredictability without realizing it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Clear out any obstacles that might prevent you from taking a day trip. Invite a friend along to explore a new area of town. Tonight: Cozy restaurant, new cuisine. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Dedicate time to one person, as you might not relate well in groups at the moment. Be willing to look at an issue from a different perspective. Tonight: Togetherness works. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Others will be more challenging than you might have expected. A friend could surprise you with his or her choices. Tonight: Return calls and check your email. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be reacting to someone’s behavior, which would explain your high energy. Mobilize this reaction. Tonight: Dinner for two. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH Allow your imagination to add to the dimension of your day. A loved one could prove to be unusually demanding. Tonight: Let your hair down to great music. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Honor an unexpected event. You might not want to deal with the situation, but ultimately you’ll see the benefits. Tonight: At home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Allow your imagination to color your plans once more. A close loved one or roommate could be unusually charming and forthright. Tonight: Say “yes” to a new opportunity. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Feeling as good as possible will help you deal with a changeable person. The resolution could be much easier than you might have thought. Tonight: Just ask.

Cryptoquip

SCORING: 18 points — congratulations, doctor; 15 to 17 points — honors graduate; 10 to 14 points — you’re plenty smart, but no grind; 4 to 9 points — you really should hit the books harder; 1 point to 3 points — enroll in remedial courses immediately; 0 points — who reads the questions to you?

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your popularity speaks for itself. As a result, a partner could behave in a most unpredictable way. Try not to react, as you’ll want to calm the situation down. Tonight: Where the fun is.

another day to get through in any way possible. I am a 69-year-old unmarried male. I have never been in circulation or introduced to anyone and am ignored at social gatherings. I find every excuse to avoid them. Right now I don’t know whether there is anyone out there for me. One woman asked me whether I could support her in the manner to which she was accustomed, meaning a new car every year, a home priced over $200,000, deluxe appliances, new furniture and credit cards with a $100,000 limit. I told her goodbye and best of luck. I wonder whether she’ll ever have any luck finding a guy who can do this for her. I wonder how many other singles feel this way. — S.D. Dear S.D.: When someone tells us they have never been able to meet the right person, we have to consider everything, including your appearance, your personality, your expectations and the type of women you gravitate toward. If you have friends or family who will be brutally honest with you, ask them to critique the way you come across to women. Try to listen with an open mind and understand that they may see things you don’t. Then consider doing some volunteer work, auditing college classes, joining a church or community choir or theater group or a travel tour. These things provide opportunities to meet others, do interesting things and become a more engaging companion. Dear Annie: I can relate to all of the parents who write about being estranged from their children. I, too, am estranged, from my sister. She is 65, and I am 70. Unlike the parents, I know full well the problem. Three years ago, I took legal action to get the inheritance my mother left me in her will. My sister hasn’t spoken to me since. I do sometimes wonder whether getting my fair share was worth the resulting fallout. — Can Relate in N.Y. State

GRADUATE LEVEL 6. Clouds that produce precipitation are classified as what? Answer________ 7. These minor planets have also been called planetoids. Answer________ 8. What is the abbreviated form of deoxyribonucleic acid? Answer________ 9. On which island would you find two volcanic plugs called the Pitons? Answer________ 10. What is the popular unit of capacity for firewood? Answer________

Chess quiz

Dear Annie: For the past 14 years, my family has not spoken to me. Worse, they have spread lies and brought lawsuits, none of which they have won. The gossip has been hurtful and damaging to my small immediate family. No one, of course, has ever asked to hear the truth. Life is short, and every time we extend an olive branch, it is thrown back at us with more vindictiveness. Could you please find and print the essay titled “My Name Is Gossip”? Maybe someone will read it and understand, if not for my sake, for others. — Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: How sad. We can only hope your family will see the column and open their hearts. My Name is Gossip (author unknown) My name is Gossip. I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age. The more I am quoted the more I am believed. My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try the more elusive I become. I am nobody’s friend. Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same. I topple governments and wreck marriages. I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion. I make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses. I am called Gossip. I make headlines and headaches. Before you repeat a story, ask yourself: Is it true? Is it harmless? Is it necessary? If it isn’t, don’t repeat it. Dear Annie: Now that the holidays and Valentine’s Day are over, there are doubtless thousands of single people who feel as I do. To me, these holidays are just

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. © 2014 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Follow your instincts when making plans. Your choices will make others smile. Whether you’re out driving or putting together a favorite meal, you’ll want to put on some music. Tonight: Take a personal night. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You have put off a purchase for a while. If you decide to follow through on it today, use caution. Tonight: Where your friends are. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You could be taken aback by a momentary situation that will force some quick thinking. Tap into your ingenuity, and solutions will appear. Tonight: Take the lead.
