las posadas brings holiday tradition to life

Rip Van Winkle of New Mexico could awaken today and reasonably assume that state senators also have been asleep for four years.

That’s how long the leader of the Senate Rules Committee has stalled on whether Hanna Skandera should remain in charge of the state’s 830 public schools.

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez hired Skandera in January 2011. Like all Cabinet secretarMilan ies, Skandera is Simonich subject to conRingside Seat firmation by the Senate.

In her case, bad politics have overtaken good government. What should have been a thorough but speedy confirmation process has been crippled by the very person responsible for the efficient review of nominees for important state jobs.

Sen. Linda Lopez, the Albuquerque Democrat who chairs the Rules Committee, is the culprit in Skandera not receiving an up-or-down vote from the full 42-member Senate.

Lopez did not bother to schedule a confirmation hearing for Skandera in 2011 or 2012. Her inaction was glaring, given that public schools are the single-biggest expense in the state’s $6 billion budget.

In 2013, Lopez finally summoned Skandera for a hearing before the Rules Committee. It turned into a ridiculous brawl worthy of Hulk Hogan in his blathering heyday.

Long lines of politicians and school employees formed to testify. Skandera, 41, has never been a teacher or a principal. Many argued that she was inept and unqualified. Others called her an innovator, though none of Skandera’s ideas for New Mexico’s schools were original.

Republican senators sought to have Skandera’s leading critic, a man from an advocacy organization, placed under oath before he testified. No witnesses are ever sworn during Senate confirmation hearings, but Lopez had let Skandera twist in the dusty gales for so long that the hearing exposed every bad idea, every raw emotion.

Lopez gave more than 160 members of the public at least three minutes each to comment on Skandera.

Abraham Lincoln only needed two minutes at Gettysburg.

On the two-year anniversary of one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, local activists gathered Sunday at El Museo Cultural de Santa Fe for a three-hour event to honor the Sandy Hook Elementary victims and advocate for less gun violence.

A few dozen people gathered in the makeshift theater at El Museo to watch musical performances and to listen to speakers, including national peace activists, discuss how New Mexico can set an example in advocating against gun violence through grass-roots efforts.

The event took place a day after more than 100 people in Santa Fe marched in opposition

On Newtown shooting anniversary, local activists call for less violence Santa Fe event held to honor victims, encourage discourse

LIMA, Peru — Shortly before 2 a.m.

Sunday, after more than 36 straight hours of negotiations, top officials from nearly 200 nations agreed to the first deal committing every country in the world to reducing the fossil fuel emissions that cause global warming.

In its structure, the deal represents a breakthrough in the two-decade effort to forge a significant global pact to fight climate change. The Lima Accord, as it is known, is the first time that all nations — rich and poor — have agreed to cut back on the burning oil, gas and coal.

But the driving force behind the new deal was not the threat of sanctions or other legal consequences — it was global peer pressure. And over the coming months, it will start to become evident whether the scrutiny of the rest of the world is enough to pressure world leaders to push through new

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Just after Thanksgiving Day, the painfully thin dog trudged through half a foot of snow as Stacie Ewing reached out to him.

After six months of wandering in the New Mexico wilderness, making it over mountains and facing unknown challenges, the San Antonio canine was about to become a heart-warming Christmas story.

It started in June, when Kathy and Jerry Armstrong of San Antonio made a trip to Red River, N.M. While there, Bobo — a black dog with a white star on his chest — slipped his collar and wandered off. When he didn’t return, they feared he had become lost and couldn’t find his way back to the cabin. They searched for days but finally

WASHINGTON — Just hours before he publicly responded last week to the Senate Intelligence Committee report accusing the CIA of torture and deceit, John O. Brennan, the CIA’s director, stopped by the White House to meet with President Barack Obama.

Ostensibly, he was there for an intelligence briefing. But the messages delivered later that day by the White House and Brennan were synchronized, even down to similar wording, and the larger import of the well-timed visit was hardly a classified secret: After six years of partnership, the president was standing by the embattled spy chief even as fellow Democrats called for his resignation.

That’s not to say there was no friction between the West Wing and the CIA’s Langley, Va., headquarters after the release of the scorching report.

Irritated advisers to Obama believe Brennan made a bad situation worse by battling Democrats on the committee over the report during the past year. Some who considered Brennan the president’s heat shield against the agency when he worked in the White

NATION&WORLD In brief Bill Cosby interviews with magazine LOS ANGELES — Bill Cosby broke his silence amid a flood of rape accusations in a very brief interview with The New York Post’s Page Six. “Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind,” Cosby told the publication’s Stacy Brown, who noted that he frequently writes for African American publications.

Cosby, 77, has stayed silent in light of the more than two dozen women who have come forward to accuse him of having drugged and raped them. The alleged incidents go as far back as the 1960s.

Cosby declined to address the rape and sexual assault allegations, though. According to the report, he’s been advised not to discuss the ongoing cases with the media.

The Page Six interview ended abruptly, though, when Cosby told the reporter that “they” don’t want him talking to the media.

In Japan, a victory for Abe’s party TOKYO — Despite low voter turnout, the governing party of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe won a landslide victory in parliamentary elections held Sunday that position Abe to remain Japan’s leader for several more years.

The question, political analysts say, is what Abe will do with his renewed mandate.

When the prime minister called the snap elections last month, he proclaimed them a referendum on his economicrevival policies, known as Abenomics. The policies appeared to be losing steam recently after initially lifting the long-stagnant economy when Abe took office two years ago.

Haiti’s prime minister resigns PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe announced early Sunday that he was resigning along with several ministers in the wake of violent anti-government protests and a commission’s call for him to step down.

In a speech that was delayed past midnight, Lamothe said he was leaving “with a sense of accomplishment,” adding: “This country has undergone a deep and dynamic transformation and a real change in benefit of its people.”

President Michel Martelly said earlier he accepted the findings of the commission that had recommended Lamothe’s replacement.

Armed suspect takes hostages in Sydney cafe Black flag with Arabic script displayed in window of store

By Michelle Innis The New York Times

SYDNEY — Helicopters hovered over central Sydney, and Prime Minister Tony Abbott convened a meeting with his security advisers on Monday after an armed individual took hostages in a Sydney cafe and displayed a black flag with Arabic script in white in the window.

Police officers surrounded the cafe in the central business district where the hostages were pressed against the window holding the black flag, whose writing appeared to be the shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith.

Andrew Scipione, the commissioner of the New South Wales police, said at a news briefing that an unknown number of hostages were being held in the cafe by a single armed person, but that five of the hostages had been released.

“We don’t yet know the motivation of the perpetrator — we don’t know whether this is politically motivated — although obviously there are some indications that it could be,” Abbott said at a short briefing in Canberra, Australia’s capital.

“There are people, even in a society such as ours, who would wish to do us harm.”

“The whole point of politically motivated violence is to scare people out of being themselves,” he said. “Australia is a peaceful, open and generous society and nothing should ever change that, and that is why I would urge all Australians today to go about their business as usual.”

Abbott described the siege as “a very disturbing incident.”

“Our thoughts and prayers must, above all, go out to the individuals who are caught up in this,” he said. “I can think of almost nothing more distressing or terrifying than to be caught up in such a situation. Our hearts go out to those people.”

He said he had met with the National Security Committee of the Cabinet, which includes the defense minister, David Johnston, and Attorney General George Brandis.

A police spokesman confirmed that officers were called to the Lindt Chocolate Café, in Sydney’s Martin Place, a major shopping and pedestrian thoroughfare, around 10 a.m. local time Monday.

A commercial television network, Channel Seven, which has a studio near the cafe, showed footage of people wearing Lindt uniforms inside the cafe.

The police said in a statement that they were trying to contact those inside. Nearby offices had been evacuated and a number of streets closed, it said. The police also asked that people in offices bordering Martin Place “remain indoors and away from open windows.”

The police shut parts of the city’s transportation system and closed the mall area.

“A police operation is underway,” a spokeswoman for the New South Wales Police Force said. “It involves both local police and tactical or specialist police commands,” which would include an anti-terrorism squad.

Fire crews and other emergency services had been sent to the central business district, and helicopters could be seen and heard flying over the city.

But live television footage showed shoppers and office workers gathered some distance from the cafe, behind shelters, and television news showed heavily armed police officers in the area.

The police would not confirm whether a terrorist group or individual with links to terrorism was behind the siege.

But James Brown, a military analyst at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney, said, “Someone in that shop wants us to know they have an Islamic link.”

He added: “They could be doing it for any one of a number of reasons; it could be a terror-related incident. It is unclear what outcome they want.”

The hostage-taking comes amid growing anxiety in Australia over Islamic terrorism.

Abbott responded quickly to President Barack Obama’s appeal several months ago for support in the fight against Islamic State, sending a squadron of fighter jets and several hundred Australian military personnel to the Middle East.

BORJA, Spain — After an 83-year-old widow and amateur painter tried her hand at restoring a nearly century-old fresco of Jesus crowned with thorns in her local church here, she faced nothing but scorn and ridicule.

News of the earnest, if utterly failed, restoration in 2012 rocketed around the globe on Twitter and Facebook — the image likened variously to a monkey or hedgehog, and superimposed in memes and parodies on the Mona Lisa and a Campbell’s Soup can.

But these days, people in this village of medieval palaces and winding lanes in northeast Spain are giving the artist, Cecilia Giménez, and her work a miraculous reassessment.

Grief has turned to gratitude for divine intervention — the blessing of free publicity — that has made Borja, a town of just 5,000, a magnet for thousands of curious tourists eager to see her handiwork, resurrecting the local economy.

Nearby vineyards are squabbling over rights to splash the image on their wine labels. Her smudgy rendering is now touted as a profound pop art icon.

Giménez — known, Madonna-like, simply as Cecilia — is celebrated each year by residents on Aug. 25, the day of her transfiguration. A comic opera is in the works in the United States, the story of how a woman ruined a fresco and saved a town.

“For me, it’s a story of faith,” said Andrew Flack, the opera’s librettist who traveled to Borja for research on the production, which is still in the works. “It’s a miracle how it has boosted tourism.”

“Why are people coming to see it if it is such a terrible work of art?” he added. “It’s a pilgrimage of sorts, driven by the media into a phenomenon. God works in mysterious ways. Your disaster could be my miracle.”

Since the makeover, the image has attracted more than 150,000 tourists from around the world — Japan, Brazil, the United States — to the gothic 16th-century Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mercy on a mountain overlooking Borja.

Visitors pay one euro, or about $1.25, to study the fresco, encased on a flaking wall behind a clear, bolted cover worthy of the Louvre’s Mona Lisa. The church’s original Ecce Homo (Behold Man) portrait of a mournful Jesus dated to the 1930s, when Elías Garcia Martínez, a Zaragoza art professor, painted it on the church wall.

Borja residents did not much notice the painting because the church is dominated by a gilded 18th century baroque altar. But over the years, it bothered Giménez to see the bottom third of the fresco vanish, crumbling in the humidity of the dank church.

Today, in her home in Borja — in a living room lined with landscapes she has painted — Giménez recounted that she spent her summers in an apartment by the church. She said she touched up the portrait repeatedly over the years — with the knowledge of the parish priest and the caretakers, a family that has lived there for generations.

Ecco Homo, a portrait of Jesus that a local amateur tried to restore in 2012, at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mercy in Borja, Spain, Nov. 24.

Spending deal may not offer 2015 Congress road map Obama calls bill an ‘acceptable compromise’

By Charles Babington The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Optimists might think twice before seeing Congress’ bipartisan agreement to keep the government running another year as a road map for 2015.

The dynamics that tamed both parties’ ideological wings on the weekend will change next year, handing new challenges to congressional leaders who often struggled just to keep the government’s bills paid. Republicans will feel new pressures to show they can produce, even as 2016 presidential politics, and President Barack Obama’s incentives to veto legislation, add uncertainties to the mix.

On the bright side — for people who abhor government

gridlock, at least — last week’s events showed that lawmakers can assemble bipartisan majorities in the political center on big measures that leave everyone a bit unhappy. The $1.1 trillion spending bill will finance most of the government through September, making a repeat of the 2013 shutdown unlikely.

The bill angered conservatives who wanted to block Obama’s executive changes to immigration policy. And it displeased liberals who say it unwisely loosens

restrictions on risky Wall Street practices.

But Obama and most congressional leaders called it an acceptable compromise, the type of accord once common in Washington. The Senate will be in a session a few more days to deal with tax breaks, nominations and terrorism insurance.

When the new Congress convenes next month, four important changes will occur. They don’t make bipartisan accords impossible, but they will pose

new complications: u Republicans will control both legislative chambers, not just the House. This enhances their clout, of course. But it also will encourage some conservative firebrands to demand politically unfeasible goals, such as repealing the president’s health care law. u Senate Democrats will use the same filibuster rules to block GOP measures that Republicans have used for six years. Republicans will hold 54 of the Senate’s

100 seats. Measures being filibustered need 60 votes to advance. u Obama may decide to veto some bills that Congress passes.

Overriding vetoes is difficult, requiring two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate. u The 2016 presidential race, now underway, will complicate congressional politics. As many as five senators are considering joining the race. They include Republican Ted Cruz of Texas and Democrat Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

Black churches pray in protest of cop slayings

By Rachel Zoll The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Congregants in African American churches across the country wore black to Sunday services and prayed over the men in attendance in a symbolic stand against fatal police shootings of unarmed black men.

Bishop T.D. Jakes told worshippers at The Potter’s House Church in Dallas that black men should not be “tried on the sidewalk.” At Ebenezer

AME Church in Fort Washington, Md., choir members sang “We Shall Overcome” for worshippers wearing T-shirts that read “Black lives matter” and “I can’t breathe.” Men at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles stood more than four rows deep around the altar for a special blessing and message from the pastor, Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake.

“Police forces are charged with protecting all our citizens,” said Blake, leader of the national

Church of God in Christ, the largest black Pentecostal group in the U.S. “In a very special way, they are to abide by the laws they are called to enforce.

They should not bring fear to our citizens, but rather confidence.”

The churches were responding to a call from several historically African American denominations for what they called “Black Lives Matter” Sunday, in response to the recent police slayings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and Eric Garner

in New York. The church actions came a day after marches and demonstrations by civil rights and other groups around the country pressing for changes to the criminal justice system.

“It is a time to hear God calling us to be relevant and responsive to the needs of people with us and around us,” wrote Senior Bishop Lawrence Reddick of the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, an organizer of Sunday’s church action.

But already, a number of research groups and universities expect to crunch the numbers of the plans, producing apples-to-apples assessments. The hope, negotiators said, is that as the numbers and commitments of each country are publicized, compared and discussed, countries will be shamed by the spotlight into proposing — and enacting — stronger plans.

“We see the sunlight as one of the most important parts of this,” said Todd D. Stern, senior climate change negotiator for President Barack Obama.

The motivations of the world leaders and whether they care about those assessments are essential to the success of the deal.

Obama wants to sign on to the plan because he sees his role in fighting climate change as a cornerstone of his legacy, both he and his advisers say. But whether the United States will follow through on his commitment depends on whether his successors and fellow politicians feel the same.

The president has pledged that the United States will cut emissions by as much as 28 percent by 2025. The nation can achieve some of that under new regulations tailpipe and power plant emissions enacted by his administration.

But further laws or regulations, enacted after Obama leaves office, must be put in place for the United States to meet its pledge, experts say. Most in the emerging field of Republican presidential contenders have come out fiercely

against Obama’s domestic climatechange policies, and they may not be swayed by international scorn if the United States does not follow through on its Lima pledge.

In China, the political motivations for reducing emissions are more internal. China’s president, Xi Jinping, has pledged that China’s emissions will peak by 2030 and decline after that. To meet that goal, the Chinese government is looking into creating a national cap-andtrade system by 2016 that would force polluters to pay for their greenhouse gas emissions.

But China was driven to cut pollution largely to quell domestic unrest, as citizens protested against the increasingly bad air wrought by coal production.

The previous decade of international criticism, as China surpassed the United States as the world’s largest polluter, did not compel it to take domestic action.

There is much speculation about how India, the world’s third largest carbon polluter, will respond. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has declared repeatedly that his top priority is economic growth and lifting people out of poverty, even if that means the construction of hundreds of new coal-fired power plants to deliver cheap electricity. Modi is also seen wanting to resist being viewed as caving to pressure from Obama.

In New Delhi, pushback against the deal has already begun.

“The burden of tackling climate

change will decisively shift to developing countries, making their efforts toward poverty reduction and sustainable development difficult and expensive,” said Sunita Narain, director of the Centre of Science and Environment, an Indian advocacy group.

India’s environment minister, Prakash Javadekar, however noted last week in Lima that climate change has already affected his nation, and that his government intends to submit a plan by June that would show how India would lower the rate at which it produces pollution.

Observers are also closely watching Russia, the world’s fifth-largest polluter, for its response to the plan. President Vladmir Putin has publicly scoffed at the science of human-caused climate change and shown a willingness to defy international opinion.

But this week in Lima, Russian delegates said that Moscow is at work on an emissions reduction plan.

Climate change policy observers will also closely watch Australia. This year, the Australian government voted to repeal a carbon tax, and the administration of Prime Minister Tony Abbot has also eliminated its Department of Climate Change. On Sunday morning in Lima, as delegates from around the world praised the passage of the Lima Accord, the Australian delegation chose not to make remarks.

Still, the delegation did say it will submit a climate change plan to the U.N. this spring.

House now worry that since being appointed director, he has “gone native,” as they put it.

But in the 67 years since the CIA was founded, few presidents have had as close a bond with their intelligence chiefs as Obama has forged with Brennan. It is a relationship that has shaped the policy and politics of the debate over the nation’s war with terrorist organizations, as well as the agency’s own struggle to balance security and liberty. And the result is a president who denounces torture but not the people accused of inflicting it.

In responding to the report, Brennan walked a line between his president and his agency. He again embraced Obama’s decision after taking office to ban interrogation techniques like waterboarding, nudity and sleep deprivation.

But he criticized only the “limited number” of CIA officers who exceeded broad Justice Department rules governing interrogations.

And he flatly rejected the committee’s contentions that the interrogation program was not central to thwarting terror plots and that the agency had misled the public about its effectiveness, although he said it was unknowable whether detainees talked specifically because of the brutal methods.

Current and former colleagues said Brennan had an institutional responsibility to guard his building.

“If John were retired and had a few drinks in him, he might have a different tone to him,” said William M. Daley, Obama’s former chief of staff.

“But he can’t, nor should he, do anything other than what he’s done.”

ing in the direction of power and not being able to exercise any independence.”

After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Brennan helped set up the Terrorist Threat Integration Center, later reorganized as the National Counterterrorism Center. But he was not made its permanent director and, disaffected with President George W. Bush’s administration, he retired from the CIA in 2005 and became a public critic.

Brought into Obama’s orbit, Brennan was the new president’s first choice to become CIA director, but that unraveled when Democrats protested his association with Tenet’s leadership.

During Bush’s tenure, Brennan had opposed waterboarding but not every brutal interrogation method and said then that the United States would “be handicapped if the CIA was not, in fact, able to carry out these types of detention and debriefing activities.”

After Obama’s election, Brennan argued that he had not been part of the interrogation program and “opposed different aspects” of it while concurring with others. He acknowledged that he had once argued for keeping open the secret CIA prisons but that conditions had changed and “I’ve changed my views.”

A relationship grows

In the end, he had to settle for the White House job, but that may have worked out better for him because it sealed his relationship with Obama, a former law professor with little national security background.

“Somebody like the president, who doesn’t have that background, will end up gravitating to someone who does,” Daley said.

Whether it was a would-be underwear bomber or shootings at Fort Hood, Brennan exuded a confident competence that reasChanging roles sured a new president and his But guarding the building is staff. a markedly different role than “I slept better knowing that Brennan played as Obama’s John Brennan never does,” counterterrorism adviser in recalled David Axelrod, then the first term, when he helped Obama’s senior adviser.

“He understands them intimately and was constantly raising hard and tough questions,” said Harold Koh, then the State Department’s legal adviser and now a Yale Law School professor.

But neither Obama nor Brennan was eager to take on the CIA too often.

“The CIA gets what it needs,” Obama declared at one early meeting, according to people there.

“He didn’t want them to feel like he was an enemy,” said a former aide.

Fighting an inquiry Brennan likewise was protective of CIA interests. He tried to excise the word “torture” from White House documents, only to be overruled. And when Leon E. Panetta, who became Obama’s CIA director, negotiated an agreement with the Senate Intelligence Committee for an inquiry into torture, Brennan erupted.

“It did not take long to get ugly,” Panetta recalled in his memoir. “Brennan and I even exchanged sharp words.”

Brennan could not reverse the deal, but since becoming CIA director last year he has fought constantly with Democrats on the committee over the torture report. During one meeting, Brennan grew red-faced and pounded his fist on a table.

“The CIA is not a rogue organization,” he said.

Relations worsened when senators accused the CIA of pen-

etrating a computer network designated for the committee’s use and reading staff emails to find out how the committee might have obtained an internal CIA study of interrogations ordered

by Panetta when he was director. The CIA inspector general admonished five agency officers and Brennan apologized, but relations remained raw.

Sen. Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat on the committee, said on Saturday that he had yet to receive answers about Brennan’s exact role in the episode.

“To stonewall about getting information about what he knew and when he knew it is really unacceptable,” he said. “Brennan has gotten away with frustrating congressional oversight. He shouldn’t have gotten away with it, but so far he has.”

As for Obama, advisers said they doubted he believed the interrogation program yielded useful intelligence but that he was unwilling to publicly contradict Brennan. Instead, the president made sure the CIA got what it needed: cover against its critics.

Michael V. Hayden, the former CIA director who has led the public defense against the Senate report, said he “deeply appreciated” Obama’s measured words about the tough choices his predecessor faced after Sept. 11 and his praise for the “patriots” of the CIA. “Given what he’s said in the past,” Hayden said, “this is about the best we could have hoped for.”

Ringside: Handling Lost: Pair drove 12 hours to take dog home calls the confirmation process into question Continued from Page A-1

Continued from Page A-1 Then Lopez broke the timelimit rule for Skandera’s chief critic, giving him much longer to attack.

In all, Lopez’s committee devoted 10 hours across three days to Skandera.

What was accomplished in all that time? Nothing at all.

Lopez recessed the hearing without allowing the Rules Committee to vote on Skandera.

This meant Skandera’s nomination did not go to the full Senate.

Many senators privately fumed, saying they looked like idiots because of Lopez’s imperial style.

Early this year, the Rules Committee finally voted on Skandera.

But because of the habitual partisan politicking, nothing but deadlocks occurred in the 10-member committee. This again prevented her nomination from going to the full Senate.

The stalemate could have been avoided with ease. Committee members could have sent Skandera’s nomination to the Senate floor without a recommendation on whether she should be confirmed. Then all 42 senators at last would have had the chance to vote on whether to keep her in power or fire her.

So, after four years of running one of the state’s most important and powerful agencies, Skandera still has not received a confirmation vote.

Though in government purgatory, she continues making executive decisions while collecting her $126,250-a-year salary. Skandera’s title remains secretarydesignate of public education.

But in 2013, she started calling herself the education secretary, as though the Senate had confirmed her. Publicists for the governor also conferred that loftier title on Skandera, a slap at

Hanna Skandera

Linda Lopez

Lopez and her committee.

The mishandling of Skandera’s nomination by Lopez calls into question whether state Senate confirmations even matter.

If one chairwoman can bottle up the process for years, why bother at all?

Next month, the Legislature goes to work for 60 days. Senators should vote on Skandera’s nomination in the first week.

But with Lopez in control of the confirmation process, more showboating, posturing and time-wasting are likely.

We have to wonder at what point the Senate leadership will step in to repair the damage Lopez has done by appointing a new chairman or chairwoman to run the Rules Committee.

Every teacher in New Mexico has been asking for a decision on Skandera since 2011. Lopez has been tone-deaf all the while.

The only consequence has been her losing elections for other offices, including governor and Senate majority whip.

We don’t expect heroics from part-time lawmakers such as Linda Lopez. But all of us should demand efficiency and competence.

Glancing out the window, he was startled to see a dog, just skin and bones. He called his wife, Stacie, who ran over to help bring the animal in.

“He was nothing but a shadow of a dog,” Stacie Ewing said in a phone interview with the San Antonio Express-News recently.

Eagle Nest is a small town, population 290. Ewing took to her Facebook page to alert her neighbors, asking them to keep an eye out for the obviously needy animal. Soon the entire village was looking for him. For a couple of weeks, there were sporadic sightings.

Resident Jamie McCaslin said she had fed the dog in July when she was visiting Bobcat Pass, some 9,900 feet up the mountainside. Eagle Nest is at 8,300 feet.

Then the sightings stopped.

The Ewings feared coyotes had gotten him; they knew of a friend whose pet went missing and the only remains found were a collar and tuft of hair. With increasing snowfall and single-digit temperatures, Ewing and her husband redoubled their efforts to find the dog.

Then came the call from a friend who said he had just seen the dog on the end of

town Friday after Thanksgiving. Ewing headed out, driving through snow-covered streets.

She spotted him and stopped.

This time, he didn’t recoil. Weeping, she wrapped an arm around him, scooped him up and carried him a half a mile to her house.

“He was coming with me whether he liked it or not,” she said.

The dog they started calling Buddy appeared domesticated to the Ewings, so when they took him to the vet, they asked about the possibility of a microchip, which led them to the Armstrongs in San Antonio.

They bought him a dog bed.

The Ewings’ other dogs, three miniature pinschers, weren’t quite welcoming to the new houseguest — the cat was OK

with it — so Bill and Stacie took turns sleeping in a room with Buddy each night after they brought him home.

The Monday after Thanksgiving, Stacie Ewing called Kathy Armstrong and told her the good news. Stunned, Armstrong answered, “What did you say?”

Jerry Armstrong, who has terminal cancer and is in a hospital bed in his home, immediately told his wife, “Gas up the car.

We’re gonna go get him.”

That wasn’t feasible, Kathy Armstrong knew. But the good Samaritans who had cared enough for Bobo to save him weren’t done yet. Stacie said she and her friend, Laura Bowers, would take Bobo home.

They made the 12-hour trip to San Antonio by truck. The town collected $250 to help pay for gas, and local restaurant Calamity Jane’s donated food for the trip.

About 10:30 a.m. Sunday of last week, Stacie and her friend walked Bobo into his San Antonio home. He promptly slathered Kathy’s face with his tongue, then went to Jerry. Lacking strength, Bobo needed help getting up on

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Perdidos en videolandia CHICAGO a semana pasada, mi hijo que cursa el octavo grado, libró una guerra de trincheras al estilo de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Los alumnos de su clase formaron filas y se intercambiaron muchas pelotas de papel. Mi hijo, que odia la escuela, dijo que había sido la mejor clase en toda su vida.

A su parecer, es una lástima que no haya algo así de divertido todos los días. Como a muchos muchachos en la actualidad la escuela le parece terriblemente aburrida.

Es una ardua lucha con libros, materias y destrezas sólo interrumpida por recreos en que se puede visitar a amigos y enviar mensajes de texto.

Es la interrupción de todo un día de iPhones, YouTube, Xbox, panzadas de Netflix y medios sociales.

Lo digo no como una ex-maestra que ha observado cómo la invasión de los juegos Esther en la adquisición de Cepeda conocimientos se ha Comentario apoderado de la concentración y el esfuerzo, ni como la esposa de un profesor de secundaria que ha presenciado la forma en que los teléfonos inteligentes pasaron de ser prohibidos por su cociente de distracción a ser permitidos en todos lados, en cualquier momento — hasta el punto de que hasta los maestros envían textos durante la clase.

Mi preocupación proviene del punto de vista de una madre que nunca permitió que se viera TV de cable ni de cadena en la casa (cintas VHS y los DVDs tenían un principio y un fin, y estaban bajo mi estricto control) pero quien, finalmente, sucumbió a los ruegos y a las negociaciones por buena conducta, para convertirse en la renuente poseedora de un Xbox.

Cuatro años después, lamento la Navidad en que me convencí a mí misma de que con el equilibrio correcto, mis hijos podrían disfrutar de los juegos de video, pero también mantener una visión realista de la vida normal … como yo lo hiciera a su edad.

Pero no. Se han unido a sus coetáneos en creer que en la vida real la rutina diaria es tediosa y — tal como lo describió mi sobrino de 18 años recientemente, al explicar por qué abandonó su primer trabajo real y se mudó de vuelta a la comodidad de la casa de sus padres — mundana.

Los que tenemos cierta edad — para quienes Pac-Man, Galaga y Super Mario Bros. no constituyeron una experiencia social legendaria y multidimensional — siempre supimos que la escuela era trabajo y, que con la excepción de algunas ocasiones especiales, la vida diaria era más bien aburrida. Para muchos de nuestros jóvenes, ese mundo no existe. Hasta que uno no se pone un par de auriculares, agarra su control y camina por el paisaje bellamente diseñado de Skyrim, durante horas y horas que pasan como minutos, no lo puede comprender.

Si nunca ha participado en la verosímil y sumamente adictiva intriga de un asesinato tridimensional, como L.A. Noire, o si nunca ha manejado lustrosos y fabulosos autos de carrera en algunas de las más espectaculares carreteras del mundo, con la sensación del motor retumbando en sus manos y el sonido del aire golpeando en su rostro, quizás no pueda comprender el atractivo.

Intencionalmente impedí caer en ese agujero con Benjamin Franklin en Assassin’s Creed III, un juego situado en el Estados Unidos colonial durante la Revolución. Pude sumergirme en un mundo abierto que me llevaría a tener contacto directo con George Washington, Thomas Jefferson y Samuel Adams, durante horas y horas.

Pero ¿qué adulto responsable, empleado y con una familia a su cargo tiene tiempo para eso? Nuestros niños, en cambio, viven en esos mundos realzados con sus amigos de la vida real cuando no tienen que soportar la “carga” de la escuela. Y muchos de ellos salen de eso con poca tolerancia para, sí, las realidades mundanas de la vida.

Me encantan los videojuegos — espero pasar gran parte de mi jubilación con algún tipo de consola de juegos de video, así es que esto no es una diatriba contra ellos. Y es más probable que Tetris (mi favorito) lo haga sentirse más violento que Call of Duty. Pero estoy preocupada. Hay una gran diferencia entre el mundo de videojuegos en que se han criado nuestros hijos y los adultos que pasaron muchas horas jugando Atari o Nintendo, pero que aún así, ocuparon la mayor parte de su tiempo aprendiendo a leer, a aprender y a estudiar sin tecnología interactiva y multi-mediática.

Los adolescentes de hoy en día juegan en mundos mejores que la realidad, donde uno es invencible y puede ganar dinero con poco esfuerzo — y son instruidos por profesores que están agotados tratando desesperadamente de entretenerlos para que aprendan. ¿Qué hemos creado?

Si usted es el padre de un obsesivo jugador de videos, que ahora es un exitosos joven adulto, escríbame. Me encantaría tener algunas historias de éxito para compartir — y para que me ayuden a dormir de noche.

Resurge punto de comercio en Kewa Pueblo Por Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

os puntos de comercio o trading posts alguna vez llenaron el tramo oeste de la Ruta 66. La parada favorita de los viajeros, ofrecía en sus tiendas un poco de todo, desde gasolina hasta curiosidades, artesanías nativo americanas, dulces de leche, pistolas de juguete, arcos y flechas. Uno de los más antiguos a lo largo de esa ruta estaba en lo conocido como Santo Domingo Pueblo, ahora llamado Kewa Pueblo.

Las tiendas han desaparecido con los años conforme las carreteras interestatales desviaron el tráfico de las rutas históricas. El punto de comercio kewa, que tuvo como cliente al presidente John F. Kennedy, cerró sus puertas en los 1990s antes de que el fuego arrasara con el edificio desalojado hace 14 años.

Pero en los últimos cinco años se ha tratado de revitalizar el punto de comercio. Funcionarios del Kewa Pueblo han tratado con trabajadores y consultores de Santa Fe para reconstruir la tienda adjunta a la parada del Rail Runner Express que se consumió en llamas en el 2001.

“Parecía como si una bomba hubiera estallado,” dice Jake Barrow, director del programa en Cornerstones Community Partnership, organización sin fines de lucro que ayuda a rescatar tesoros arquitectónicos a lo largo del suroeste. La organización ha conversado con la tribu durante el proyecto de restauración.

El Kewa Pueblo, a 34 millas al suroeste de Santa Fe, desde el 2009 ha solicitado fondos federales y llevado a cabo eventos de recaudación de fondos para rescatar el punto de comercio. Aunque la obra está a un 75 porciento de construcción, los funcionarios no esperan abrir las puertas hasta el 2016.

El proyecto de restauración del edificio comenzó en 2009, cuando los funcionarios del pueblo se dieron cuenta de que el tren Rail Runner Express crearía una estación en el pueblo. El tren ha recogido y llevado ya a pasajeros al pueblo desde el 2010.

Barrow, comentó que porque el tren hace una parada, más residentes y turistas visitarán el lugar.

“Estamos contentos de ayudar a restituir este

L

ícono de Nuevo México,” dijo.

Funcionarios tribales propusieron la idea de reabrir el punto de comercio después de que cerró en 1991. Pero con la falta de fondos y el incendio del 2001, “Todos los planes se los llevó el viento,” mencionó Barrow.

Después de una inversión de más de $1 millón de subsidios federales y donativos privados, el edificio histórico — que aún conserva un anuncio descolorido que dice, “Donde los indios verdaderos comercian” — puede usarse como un café y para exhibiciones de artesanía.

Sheri Bozic, director de normas y desarrollo del pueblo, comentó que los últimos detalles sobre los posibles usos del edificio aún están por determinarse, pero los miembros tribales están satisfechos con los avances en la reconstrucción del edificio.

“Creo que la mayoría [del pueblo] está muy feliz que está siendo restaurado,” comentó.

El edificio fue construido en 1881, con ampliaciones hechas en 1920. En 1997, el punto de comercio de dos pisos se incluyó dentro del Registro de Bienes Culturales en Nuevo México. En 1998, fue también parte del Registro Nacional de Bienes Históricos.

Como parte de la etapa final de la obra, el artista Ricardo Caté, miembro del pueblo, ha pintado la fachada. Comentó que trató de seguir el diseño original, incluyendo los tapetes, alfarería y un ave fénix, con algunas modificaciones.

“Es un proyecto comunitario, así que estoy encantado de formar parte de esto,” dijo Caté, que es también conocido por Without Reservations, caricatura humorística con perspectiva nativo americano publicada en The Santa Fe New Mexican desde el 2006.

El padre de Caté trató de recaudar fondos para reabrir el edificio, cerrado desde 1991, antes de que el edificio fuera envuelto en llamas, comentó Caté.

Su padre murió en el 2001, justó antes del daño al edificio.

Caté dijo que está orgulloso de ser parte del proyecto. “Espero que un día mis nietos puedan decir, ‘Mi abuelo hizo esto.’ ” Traducción de Patricia De Dios para The New Mexican.

ra un poco antes de Christmas cuando Grama Cuca came to wake up Canutito. She had a hard time despertándolo porque he was bien encamorrão. “I’ve just got to make him levantarse,” she said to herself, “porque tiene que ir a ayudarme over at the church.”

She shook al muchachito para que saliera de su lethargy. Al fin, Canutito began to stir. “¿Qué pasa, grama?” he asked her as he rubbed las lagañas out of the corners de sus ojos. “Yo pensé que today I would get to dormir tarde.”

“You can’t sleep late today, m’hijo,” Larry Torres Grama Cuca said.

Growing up “You have to go Spanglish help me and your grampo en la iglesia. We are the new mayordomos este año.” “¿Qué es un ‘mayordomo’?” Canutito asked.

“That’s just una fancy word para ‘janitor’,” Grampo Caralampio grumbled, coming into the room. “Tenemos que ir a limpiar the whole capilla before Mass. Tenemos que put out los libros so that people can sing, tenemos que dostear los pews and after que hacemos dust, we have to barrer the whole floor y hacer water las plantas by the altar.”

Canutito swung his patas over the edge de la cama and put on sus calzones.

He slipped a camiseta over su cabeza and grabbed su cotón porque la mañana estaba un poco frisky. Trastraveó hasta la cocina, dragging his feet all along the way.

Allí, Grama Cuca estaba putting some garras viejas into a shopping bag.

She was going to usar the old rags to dust with.

Next she grabbed un mope viejo to use on the floor. Allá afuera, grampo had warmed up la troca. La familia got into the truck y se fueron a limpiar la iglesia.

They got over to the church con muncho tiempo y se pusieron a trabajar.

Canutito estaba dusting los statues by the altar. De repente he noticed una estatua que he hadn’t seen before. Era un statue de un soldier on horseback que estaba dando algo que hacía look like una saddle blanket to a naked old man on the ground. Canutito stopped a mirar esta estatua interesante.

“Grama,” be began. “¿Por qué está este soldão giving una fresada to that viejito en el suelo?”

Grama Cuca came over a ver. De una vez she recognized el statue de San Martín Caballero on the altar.

“El soldão en el caballo,” she began, “Era un soldier en el Roman Army. He was secretly un Cristiano at the time cuando era muy dangerous to be one.

Pero he was kind; siempre helping a todos y haciendo good deeds. Una vez he was riding en su caballo cuando de repente he noticed a un hombre viejo lying by the side del camino shivering de frío porque de didn’t have any clothes. Le dio mucha lástima a San Martín Caballero con él.”

“What is ‘lástima’, grama?” Canutito interrupted.

“Hace mean que he felt sorry for him,” grama replied. “De todas maneras, San Martín Caballero took off his own cape y la cortó right in half con su sword. He took un half de la cape y se la dio down to the old man y se fue on his way. That night he dreamed que el viejito era Jesús himself.

“When he woke up, el half de la capa that he had given away estaba lying next to el otro half right by him en la cama. That’s when he knew que tenemos que ayudarles a todos because you never know if it might be Jesus en disguise,” she said.

“What ever happened to the torn capas, grama?” Canutito asked todo impressed.

“They were torn into smaller pieces and sent to all the churches en el mundo para hacer remind a la gente to do good things para los que no tienen nada. The little capas became known as ‘capillas’ and ‘capillas’ are now little churches donde the little piece of cape están,” Grama Cuca finished.

“I just finished limpiando la capilla,” Grampo Caralampio said coming over.

“I need una rag para dostear los pews ahora.”

“Here you go,” grama said, tearing a cloth in half y dándosela. “Here is una ‘capilla’ to dust la ‘capilla’.”

What’s a few drinks? A recipe for campus rape

I

’m not surprised that University of Virone in California, one in New York and one ginia President Teresa Sullivan didn’t in Virginia for three books about high school mention alcohol — not even once — in life. I believe that after families, high schools her Nov. 22 statement about the are our most important institusince-discredited report of a gang tions for building good character rape at a fraternity house and her and work habits. Yet their students’ desire to quell sexual abuse on lives are awash in alcohol, and campus. Education officials do nobody does much about it. their best to avoid the topic, despite In conferences about high school the harm binge-drinking does to education, the drinking issue rarely our students. surfaces. We experts prefer to Rolling Stone magazine has disdiscuss how to raise achievement, avowed its report of the UVA relieve test stress and teach workJay Mathews place skills. What do we say when rape allegations, but that does not The Washington solve the problem. One study of we learn, such as in a 2013 University Post 119 colleges found that 72 percent of of Michigan study, that 20.2 percent campus rapes happened when the of a national sample of 16,000 high victims were so intoxicated they school seniors were binge-drinkers? were unable to consent or refuse.

Like educators and parents, we don’t do I hope Rolling Stone’s mistake does not much more than roll our eyes and wring deflate efforts to curb collegiate alcohol abuse, our hands. Drinking is a social norm, so we because it has become so awful. About 40 perwrite it off as insoluble, like divorce and trafcent of college students binge-drink, according fic. Public service announcements focus on to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse drugs, not booze, even though the Betty Ford and Alcoholism. That means they consumed Center says alcohol abuse and dependence five or more alcoholic drinks in a row in the is the most common chronic illness between previous two weeks. That wasn’t enough to the ages of 18 and 44. persuade Sullivan to give it any attention in her UVA Student Council President Jalen Ross Nov. 22 statement. A few days later, she finally recently called for more study of the effect of raised the topic but had no solutions. alcohol on sexual crimes. He means well, but This goes beyond colleges. High schools studies can be a way to avoid difficult decihave been my primary interest the past three sions. So far the official approach has been: decades. I have written about scores of them We can’t keep you from getting blind drunk, in every part of the country and hung around but we’ll try to make sure you behave your-

self while you are in that condition.

The Washington Post exposed this wrongheadedness in a report on the UVA governing board’s statement calling for “zero tolerance” of sexual assault. One board member, Bobbie Kilberg, said the university should crack down on all underage drinking at fraternities. “A ban, I think, is what really would make a difference,” she said.

But Tommy Reid, president of the InterFraternity Council, said the university should be wary of any move that would push drinking “more and more underground.”

What does that mean? Wouldn’t any change in location be an improvement? If heavy drinking retreated to dark alleys and abandoned warehouses, young people might get a more realistic impression of the dangers of such parties and be less likely to attend.

At this stage, with so little being done, any effort to restrict illegal student access to alcohol would be worth it. As a prestigious university that will never lack for smart applicants, UVA is in a good position to take a stand.

It will be difficult to do. The obvious solutions, like bans and random searches of university-owned residences, might not work.

But University of Virginia has to resolve to get tough before anything happens that leads to an answer. From that, even high schools might try to alleviate the great student-health menace that so few educators want to talk about.

New factor in college choice: Crime Focus on sexual assault risks could affect admissions

By Janet Lorin and Allyson Versprille Bloomberg News

NEW YORK ichelle Casey, a high school senior applying to college, is steering clear of party schools, which she said she fears will put her at higher risk for sexual assault.

So, Casey, 17, is passing up the flagship University of Massachusetts campus in Amherst after reading online about its raucous party scene. Instead, she’s leaning toward Emmanuel College, a Catholic school in Boston where three-quarters of its students are women.

“I thought it felt safer,” said Casey, who lives near Worcester, Mass. “The smaller and less fraternities, the better.”

As the January deadline for many colleges approaches, the topic of sexual assault is coming up on college tours and junior nights and in conversations with parents.

College guidebooks are adding information about crime alongside SAT scores and gradepoint averages. Members of Congress are calling for the inclusion of such data in higher education rankings. A now-disavowed article about a rape at the University of Virginia has kept the issue constantly in the news.

Almost a third of college admissions officers said they had been getting more questions from prospective students and parents about sexual assault and campus safety than they did two years ago, according to a survey released in September by Kaplan Test Prep.

The growing debate about sexual assault marks a turning point in the already nervewracking college application process, according to David Hawkins, executive director for the National Association for College Admission Counseling. Fears of violence could end up as a “swing vote” when families make their final college choices, he said.

“This alters, at least for the next few years, the way parents think about how their children/young adults will fare at a residential college,” said Hawkins, whose Arlington, Va.-based group represents admissions deans and high school guidance counselors.

As applicants are already starting to receive early admission decisions this week, the Obama administration is investigating more than 90 colleges for their handling of sexual-assault cases.

22,000 undergraduates reported 22 forcible sex offenses in 2013, up from 15 the year before, according to the U.S. Education Department.

In 2012, four men were charged with raping an 18-year-old UMass student in her dorm room. The men, ages 17 and 18 at the time, weren’t students, the university said.

The men pleaded not guilty, and a trial is scheduled for March.

UMass-Amherst said increasing reports of sexual assault reflect efforts to encourage women to step forward, a sign of the school’s attempts to prevent such crimes.

Concern about sexual assault among college applicants may have already had an impact. Applications at Dartmouth College fell 14 percent in the most recent admissions cycle, and Amherst College’s dropped more than 7 percent in 2013. At the time, both had been at the center of high-profile allegations of sexual assaults.

It’s unclear how long-lived such declines may be. Dartmouth and Amherst pledged to strengthen their policies. Amherst’s applications have since rebounded, and spokeswoman Caroline Hanna said it wasn’t clear why they fell in the first place. Dartmouth spokeswoman Diana Lawrence said early applications are up 10 percent this year, to a new record. The school talks about sexual assault “openly and often,” she said.

Rolling Stone magazine heightened concern last month. It published an article describing a fraternity culture condoning sexual assault at the University of Virginia, an elite public university in Charlottesville.

30 high school juniors $15,000 to attend NMSU or UNM. This scholarship will provide exceptional high school juniors from across New Mexico with the financial resources, global awareness and professional networks required to succeed in a competitive and knowledge-based economy.

To complete an application, or for additional information regarding the scholarship, please visit www.newmexicoleadership.org.

Questions can be directed to Renée Delgado-Riley at The University of New Mexico (rdelgado@unm.edu, 505-2770963) or René Guillaume at New Mexico State University (renog@ nmsu.edu, 575-646-4255).

The story, which first alarmed and then confused families whose children are applying to UVA, centered on a graphic depiction of an alleged gang rape, an account the magazine has since said may not be true.

Whatever happened at UVA and at other colleges, Casey’s mother, Angela Romano, is planning to sign up for a self-defense class with her daughter. “It’s a real concern, and I think it needs to be looked at seriously by parents and the girls themselves,” Romano said.

Some families are arming themselves with information, as well. More parents of college applicants are seeking sexual assault figures collected under the federal Clery Act, which requires colleges to report crime data.

Yet, that information may not provide much reassurance. A high or increasing number of sexual assaults could mean more students are coming forward because colleges are encouraging crime reporting, said Alison Kiss, executive director of the Clery Center for Security on Campus, a nonprofit based in Wayne, Pa. The number of forcible sex offenses reported on or near college campuses rose to 5,054 in 2013 from 4,101 in 2012, according to data collected under the law.

U.S. News & World Report, known for its best college rankings, and Princeton Review — which sorts colleges by category, including best party schools — started including crime information this year. When families click on a school on the U.S. News page, they can access three years of on-campus and offcampus crimes, including sex offenses, the same data reported to the government.

ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE COURSES OFFERED Santa Fe Community College will offer 15-week English as a Second Language courses beginning Jan. 20 to any adult who wants to learn English.

Testing firm’s wrong answer matters in this high-stakes era

R

ecently, my fourth-grader handed me her “Thursday folder” shortly before we needed to head to the bus stop. I was glad to see a perfect spelling test, and a bunch of excellent math assignments and math tests. Time was short, however, so I flipped to the wrong answers. And sprinkled among the math tests, I came two wrong answers COMMENTARY across that caused me concern.

SARAH BLAINE The first problem was this: “If Curtis walked 3 miles each day for 26 weeks, how many miles will Curtis have walked?”

My daughter’s answer was “546?”

Now, I looked at this problem before I’d had my morning coffee, and I wasn’t sure at first that I wasn’t just missing something. So I posted the problem to my Facebook feed, and asked my friends to confirm that I wasn’t crazy.

But my daughter was right: If Curtis walked three miles a day for 26 weeks, Curtis did in fact walk 546 miles.

3 miles/day x 7 days/week = 21 miles/week 21 miles/week x 26 weeks = 546 miles I double, triple and quadruple checked myself. I pulled out a calculator.

My friends agreed: My initial reaction to this question wasn’t nuts. My daughter’s answer was correct.

And they came up with some good theories for why the answer might have been marked wrong.

Perhaps the teacher was trying to teach children, especially girls, to be confident in their answers, and she’d been marked wrong due to the question mark.

Perhaps she’d been marked wrong because she failed to indicate the units or perhaps she’d been marked wrong because she hadn’t provided every step of her work (i.e., she’d figured out the first step (3 miles/day x 7 days/week = 21 miles/week) in her head, and therefore had paid what one of my friends memorably described as a “smart kid penalty.”

But they were all wrong.

It turned out that my daughter had been marked wrong for a very simple reason: The testing company’s answer key was wrong.

Let me say that again: The testing company, Pearson, was wrong.

Pearson listed some totally different — and wrong — number as the answer. The teacher had missed it when reviewing the test with the morning class, but in the afternoon class she’d realized the problem. My daughter’s teacher apologized for forgetting to mention it again to the morning class (and for not having previously changed their grades, but to be honest, I really could not care less if my kid scored a 95 percent or 100 percent on a fourth-grade in-class math test).

In the olden days, I’d have laughed it off. Once in awhile, the textbook publisher screws up.

However, these are not the olden days. The are the days of high-stakes testing. These are the days in which our kids’ high school graduations hinge on tests created by the very same company — Pearson — that messed up the answer to this question.

Tests we parents will never get to see.

Tests we parents will never get to review.

Tests we parents will never get to question.

So Pearson’s mistake on its fourth-grade answer key doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Presumably, before the enVisions curriculum was published, Pearson checked and rechecked it. After all, Pearson itself describes this math curriculum as: “Written specifically to address the Common Core State Standards, enVisionMATH Common Core is based on critical foundational research and proven classroom results.”

And yet … it was still dead wrong.

To the uninitiated, I bet I sound nuts. Who cares, right? It’s just a question on a math test. But if we are going to trust this company to get it right on highstakes tests (where there is no public accountability), then the company better get it right all the time when it is operating within the public eye. So this isn’t just about a fourth-grade math test. It’s all of the other Pearson-created tests my daughter is scheduled to take: in particular, the new Common Core PARCC tests this spring, which are the ones that come with no public review and no public accountability.

Here, the test came home in my daughter’s backpack. As a result, there was an opportunity for public review and public accountability because I could review the test and question the wrong answer. The teacher could check the question and realize that the book was wrong, and substitute her own professional judgment for that of the textbook publisher.

And most importantly, the mistake was not a big deal, because the outcome of this test would not determine my daughter’s placement into an advanced math class or a particular school or even prevent her from graduating from the fourth grade. The outcome of this test would not determine her teacher’s future salary or employment. This test was nothing more than the kind of test our 9- and 10-year-olds should be taking: a fourth-grade, in-class, teacher-graded chapter test. At most, this test will determine a small portion of my daughter’s report card grade.

But what about those tests that Pearson will be administering to our students this spring? We won’t be able to review the test questions, the answer keys or our children’s answer sheets. We won’t be able to catch Pearson’s mistakes.

There has to be a better way.

New family tree for birds spurs ideas on evolution

China’s e-cigarette boom lacks oversight for safety

By David Barboza The New York Times

SHENZHEN, China n a grimy workshop, among boiling vats of chemicals, factory workers are busy turning stainless steel rods into slender tube casings, a crucial component of electronic cigarettes. Not long ago, Skorite Electronics was a tiny firm struggling to produce pen parts. Today, it is part of an enormous — and virtually unregulated — supply chain centered here that produces about 90 percent of the world’s e-cigarettes.

This year, Chinese manufacturers are expected to ship more than 300 million e-cigarettes to the United States and Europe, where they will reach the shelves of WalMarts, 7-Eleven stores, gas station outlets and vaping shops.

The devices have become increasingly popular, particularly among young adults, and yet hundreds of e-cigarette manufacturers in China operate with little oversight. Experts say flawed or sloppy manufacturing could account for some of the heavy metals, carcinogens and other dangerous compounds, such as lead, tin and zinc, that have been detected in some e-cigarettes.

One study found e-cigarette vapor that contained hazardous nickel and chromium at four times the level they appear in traditional cigarette smoke; another found that half the e-cigarettes sampled malfunctioned and some released vapor tainted with silicon fibers.

There have also been reports in the United States of e-cigarettes that exploded after a lithium ion battery or electric charger overheated, causing burns.

“We need to understand what e-cigarettes are made of,” says Avrum Spira, a lung specialist at the Boston University School of Medicine, “and the manufacturing process is a critical part of that understanding.”

A review by The New York Times of manufacturing operations in Shenzhen found that many factories were legitimate and made efforts at quality control but some were lower-end operations that either had no safety testing equipment or specialized in counterfeiting, often with cheaper parts.

The Times visited several such workshops in Shenzhen, including a counterfeiting shop set up in a garage and another that displayed a knockoff of an e-cigarette brand called “Russian 91%,” which the factory boss said was destined for the United States.

The e-cigarette industry in China has developed differently from other industries, like toys, apparel and smartphones, where global brands outsource their manufacturing here but monitor and enforce quality control standards. Chinese companies were the first to develop e-cigarettes, and that happened in a regulatory void. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has just begun to move toward regulating e-cigarettes, working on rules that would force global producers, in China and elsewhere, to provide the agency with a list of ingredients and details about the manufacturing process. But analysts say setting those rules and new manufacturing guidelines could take years. In the meantime, Chinese factories are quickening the pace, hoping to build profits and market share before regulatory scrutiny arrives and most likely forces many e-cigarette makers to close.

“This is really a chaotic industry,” says Jackie Zhuang, deputy general manager of Huabao International, a Chinese tobacco flavoring company in Shanghai and an expert on China’s e-cigarette market. “I hope it will soon be well regulated.”

Ground zero for e-cigarettes In a 5-square-mile area in the northwestern part of Shenzhen called Bao’an, in a district packed with industrial parks, there are believed to be more than 600 e-cigarette producers, and many more component suppliers selling bulk orders of tube casings, integrated circuit boards, heating coils and lithium ion batteries, the essential components of the e-cigarette. If you are a manufacturer in Shenzhen and need 50,000 baked-metal casings, a local manufacturer can supply them for about $25,000 and have them delivered within hours.

Unlike the counterfeiters’ shops, the largest Shenzhen e-cigarette manufacturing operations are relatively clean, with rows of workers seated on plastic stools along a fast-moving

assembly line.

In 2004, a Chinese pharmacist named Han Li helped develop the e-cigarette, which was then sold through his company, Beijing Ruyan.

Other manufacturers soon followed, and by 2009, as e-cigarettes became more popular in the United States and Europe, more factories opened. Global tobacco giants that have entered the e-cigarette market are also manufacturing in China, and they insist they are doing so with stringent controls.

Altria, formerly known as Philip Morris, sells the e-cigarette brand MarkTen. In a statement, Altria said: “MarkTen is manufactured in China for Nu Mark” — Altria’s e-cigarette subsidiary — “by an established manufacturer of e-cigarettes, which is following Nu Mark’s design specifications and quality control requirements” with “detailed quality-control measures.”

Potential health issues Scientific studies hint at a host of problems related to poor manufacturing standards. A study published last year in the open access online journal PLoS One found the presence of tin particles and other metals in e-cigarette vapors and said they appeared to come from the “solder joints” of e-cigarette devices.

Another study of nearly two dozen e-cigarettes bought in the United States found large amounts of nickel and chromium, which probably came from the heating element, another suggestion that poorly manufactured e-cigarettes may allow the metals to enter into the e-liquids. Health advocates say they are troubled by a history of food and drug safety scandals in China, such as when manufacturers substituted diethylene glycol, an industrial solvent, for the sweetener glycerin when making toothpastes and cough medicine. That led to reports of more than 350 deaths in Panama, China and other countries in 2006 alone.

The risk of diethylene glycol showing up in e-cigarettes is real. In 2009, the FDA issued a warning about the potential health risks associated with e-cigarettes, saying laboratory studies of some samples had found the presence of toxic chemicals, including diethylene glycol, which is used in antifreeze.

NEW YORK — Scientists have produced a new family tree for nearly all species of birds alive today, drawing on a massive DNA analysis to gain insights into evolutionary history.

The tree was built by comparing the complete DNA codes, or genomes, of 48 species as varied as the bald eagle, the common cuckoo, two kinds of penguin, the downy woodpecker and the Anna’s hummingbird.

They were chosen to represent branches that lead to most of the more than 10,000 living species.

Only three of those genomes had been decoded before, so 45 of the DNA codes were new.

The main results, reported by 200 scientists from 20 countries, were released last week by the journal Science. Here are some highlights.

Early split: Very early in the lineages leading to about 95 percent of today’s birds, the researchers propose that a split happened some 68 million to 69 million years ago. One branch leads to doves, flamingoes and a few other species, while the other branch leads to basically everything else. That implies, for example, that flamingoes are more closely related to pigeons than they are to pelicans or other water birds.

A second split followed soon after, so that the resulting four lineages faced and survived the brutal extinction some 66 million years ago that’s most famous for wiping out the dinosaurs, said Erich Jarvis of Duke University and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a lead author of the work.

Learning to sing (or speak): When a songbird sings, or a parrot says, “Polly wants a cracker,” or a baby says, “Mama,” it’s the result of learning by imitation. The study found that birds with this “vocal learning” ability share some similarities with humans in the activity of certain genes in the brain. So such birds might be useful for studying what genes are involved in human speech disorders like stuttering, said study author Andreas Pfenning of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The new work couldn’t resolve the question of whether songbirds and parrots inherited vocal learning from the same ancestor, or whether the two lineages developed it separately.

Ancestral predator: A large group of land birds may have all descended from an ancient hunter at the top of the food chain, the family tree indicates. The group includes not only falcons and eagles, but also parrots, woodpeckers and songbirds. The hawk-like curved bill of the parrot may be a lingering signature of predatory origins, Jarvis said.

Lost teeth: Although birds are descended from dinosaurs, they have no teeth. Most previous studies have suggested the common ancestor of modern birds lacked teeth, but other work has disagreed. The new findings add support to the idea of a toothless common ancestor, because all birds sampled share some mutations that turn off five genes for building teeth.

Researchers estimate that teeth, or at least enamelcovered teeth, disappeared about 116 million years ago in the ancestry of birds. They suggest beaks replaced teeth in a two-step process. But it’s still not clear why beaks took over for teeth, said study author Robert Meredith, a biologist at Montclair State University.

Bird experts react: Experts cautioned that with just 48 genomes so far, the tree is not complete and that further research could change what it indicates about the history of birds.

Yet, “this is a monumental achievement … a landmark,” said Town Peterson of the University of Kansas.

“It’s going to begin fleshing out a backbone for understanding the evolutionary history of birds.”

The work provides the first compelling evidence for suspicions that many families of birds are much younger than scientists had thought, he said.

A wide range of diverse bird species were analyzed at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington. In a series of papers released last week by the journal Science, scientists produced a new family tree for nearly all species of birds alive today. AAAS, CARLA SCHAFFER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ranch, later managed by their son Pat, daughter-in-law JoAnn, and grandchildren Mike and Tim. They were members of the San Juan Nepomuceno Catholic parish.

John Martin and his siblings attended the Normal School in El Rito.

They worked on the ranch, rode their horses in the mountains, ice skated on the pond near their house and even set up an old truck engine to make a ski lift in El Rito Canyon.

A member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, Martin graduated from The University of New Mexico in 1949 with a major in Spanish and a minor in business. One of his professors was Rubén Cobos, author of the dictionary of Northern New Mexican Spanish.

During World War II, Martin served in the U.S. Army in Texas, where he translated for Spanish-speaking recruits.

His first banking job was with Albuquerque Federal Savings and Loan. On a blind date one New Year’s Eve, he met Barbara McCain, who with a master’s degree from New York University was teaching physical education at The University of New Mexico. They were married in 1951 and had their wedding

reception at the Alvarado Hotel. Their two sons, Meade and Christopher, were born in Albuquerque.

In 1964, John Martin joined the USAID Alliance for Progress, which aimed to encourage the growth of a middle class in Latin America. The family spent almost four years living in El Salvador. He traveled across Latin America for his job, and he visited so many countries so frequently that he had to add extra pages to his passport to accommodate the stamps.

Upon returning to New Mexico, the family lived in Santa Fe, where the boys attended Santa Fe Preparatory School.

John Martin was a loan officer at First National Bank of Santa Fe, president of United Savings and Loan in Los Alamos, Santa Fe branch manager for Albuquerque Federal and on the board of Charter Bank for Savings. After retiring from the banking industry, he worked as a real estate agent with Jim Walsh’s Adobe Realty.

Martin served as president of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce and as a board member of Santa Fe Prep.

He also worked with the School of American Research and Monastery of Christ in the Desert.

The family lived on Hillside Avenue, where for 25 years they mounted a display of hundreds of farolitos on Christmas Eve. Friends and neighbors packed the house to enjoy Barbara Martin’s famous posole.

In 2012, the couple moved to the Ponce de Leon retirement community, where John Martin made many new friends among the residents and staff who appreciated him for his kindness and wit, joining legions of friends from across the state and around the world.

His son Meade said: “So how do you collect friends? First of all, you smile from the bottom of your heart. You put a warm flash in your eye and you look everyone in the eye. Most of his friends were won the moment they first felt his firm handshake.”

John Martin died from complications of a stroke, with his family present. Barbara, his wife of 63 years; sons Meade and Chris; daughters-in-law Jill and Robin; grandchildren Laura, Elliott and Sophie; and many other relatives survive him.

Funeral arrangements will be announced. Instead of flowers, the family requests contributions to charity.

State police Sgt. Chad Pierce said Longwell was last seen at 10 p.m. Thursday and the man’s vehicle was found at the Santa Fe ski basin Saturday.

Pierce said a search and rescue team was still looking for Longwell on Sunday evening.

In a news release, state police described Longwell as 6-foot-5 and about 200 to 240 pounds, with blue eyes and dark brown Laurence hair. Pierce also said the man Longwell has a short beard. Longwell was last seen wearing a black jacket with white sleeves, police said.

Police ask that anyone with information on Longwell call authorities at 428-3710.

The Tesuque Pueblo Tribal Police will be looking for drunken drivers at DWI checkpoints this holiday season. The operation will begin Friday and run through Jan. 5, according to a news release from the agency.

Officers will be on the lookout for impaired drivers and will be strictly enforcing all traffic rules, the news release stated.

Cadets learn new tactics KIRTLAND — Law enforcement training officials in San Juan County are teaching cadets a new model for use of force following guideline changes earlier this year.

The Farmington Daily Times reports that the new lesson model incorporates legal principles that permit an officer to use force and when the use of force is appropriate.

Officials have not said if the switch in tactics was influenced by scrutiny of police tactics across the country in recent months.

ew Mexico perhaps saw an early glimpse of a white Christmas this weekend.

A storm system that slammed California last week arrived in New Mexico by Saturday evening, bringing snow and rain to western and central parts of the state.

The National Weather Service said parts of Albuquerque and Santa Fe received between 1 inch and 3 inches of snow overnight.

New Mexico Department of Transportation crews were out plowing and salting roads Sunday.

As of Sunday evening, Santa Fe law enforcement agencies said no major accidents due to the weather had been reported, but motorists were advised to drive with caution

COMMENTARY: COURTLAND MILLOY

Hey, billionaire! Got a minute?

WASHINGTON nybody out there have a friend who’s an American multibillionaire? Could you ask if they ever notice things like, say, growing social unrest in the country? And if so, do they give a darn?

Economic injustice, as much as racism, is deeply implicated in the recent killings of unarmed black men by white police officers. Millions are outraged. Is that rage visible from, say, the six-bedroom apartment at the Pierre Hotel in New York that someone just rented for $500,000 a month?

Municipal governments lost so much money during the Great Recession — while the rich were getting richer, I might add — that many cities can no longer afford to properly pay or train their police.

“In areas without a tax base to speak of, where residents live in poverty already, communities are saddled with a police force that is underpaid and under-resourced in other ways,” David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor who studies policing, told NBC News in October. “It’s another form of a penalty for being poor.”

And yet, a police officer who can barely afford to pay a car note gets to drive a halfmillion-dollar military assault vehicle. And the penalty for being poor gets ramped up to homicide at the hands of some poorly trained, combatminded cop.

Do the super-rich ever wake up wanting to clue us in: Hey, black and white working class, can you stop harping on race long enough to see that you’re both being robbed blind? Or, is it just too much fun for rich folk to watch us arguing over whether a poor black man should have been killed by police for selling illegal cigarettes while ignoring the bankers who got away with billions in ill-gotten gains?

Oxfam, the international anti-poverty organization, issued a report this year that referred to extreme economic inequality as “morally questionable.”

M But what’s to question?

“Extreme economic inequality is damaging and worrying for many reasons,” the report said. “It can have negative impacts on economic growth and poverty reduction; and it can multiply social problems. When wealth captures government policymaking, the rules bend to favor the rich, often to the detriment of everyone else.”

It sounds like a modern-day warning from Plutarch, the ancient Greek biographer, who has been quoted as having written 1,900 years ago: “An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.” Except that the super-rich don’t seem particularly disturbed.

Businessman Charles Koch (worth $42.1 billion, according to Forbes) ran a TV ad last year that said anyone earning $34,000 is in the top 1 percent of income earners — in the world, that is. In America, though, even in the least expensive parts of the country, it takes roughly $44,000 a year for a family of three to live in

relative comfort, according to the Economic Policy Institute in Washington.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett ($73.6 billion) certainly sounds more sympathetic to the cause of economic justice.

“The rich have come back strong from the 2008 panic and the middle class haven’t, and that affects demand and that affects the economy,” Buffett told CNN Money last year. “The people at the bottom end should be doing better. I think it behooves this very rich country to have less inequality than we have.”

In March, Buffett expressed his support for an increase in the earned income tax credit, a wage supplement for lowincome workers. Microsoft founder Bill Gates ($81.4 billion) has suggested that the economic gap could be narrowed by taxing consumption instead of labor.

Maybe both ideas have merit.

I’d settle for a full employment program and reduce poverty by ending that atrocious double-digit jobless rate among African Americans —

a modest request in a country where the aggregate net worth of the Forbes richest 400 Americans was $2.29 trillion in 2014, up $270 billion from a year ago.

At the World Economic Summit in Davos, Switzerland in January, there appeared to be a glimmer of hope. Wealthy business people seemed to have an interest in promoting economic justice. According to the summit’s annual Global Risks 2014 report, business leaders cited structural unemployment and underemployment, severe income disparity, and “profound political and social instability” among their greatest concerns.

“The generation coming of age in the 2010s faces high unemployment and precarious job situations, hampering their efforts to build a future and raising the risk of social unrest,” the report said.

Anybody know what happened to that concern?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Cooking school supports community

T

hank you for the article (“Still Cooking at 25,” Dec. 3), bringing the community’s attention to the Santa Fe School of Cooking’s 25th anniversary. What Susan Curtis and Nicole Ammerman were too humble to tell Tantri Wija is that they also provide amazing community support. Santa Fe students benefit from Susan Curtis’ service on the board of the Partners in Education Foundation for the Santa Fe Public Schools.

The Cooking School coordinates our annual At the Artist’s Table fundraising event that also benefits the Santa Fe Arts Commission Community Gallery. The Santa Fe School of Cooking is a wonderful example of how small businesses partner with nonprofits in Santa Fe. Ruthanne Greeley

Charm on De Vargas Whenever I pass the block between Galisteo and Sandoval or go to the Santa Fe Playhouse on DeVargas, I am always so appreciative of the beauty and charm

that the Seret family has given to Santa Fe in its retail shop and yard and the Inn of the Five Graces (and recent expansion along De Vargas Street). Truly a presence that would be very hard to replace.

Thank you.

A harsh movement Have the Israelis gone mad with their callous disregard for the rights of the Palestinian people? Israelis are well on their way to becoming a pariah nation in the eyes of the world, which has condemned their brutality and even brought war crimes charges.

Our leaders and spokesmen (John Kerry and others) know the reality and truth behind Israeli diplomacy, but refuse to be transparent with the public regarding the question of Zionism. The modern Zionist movement is harsh and tough. It is also righteous from the Jewish point of view, considering a long history of oppression. But call it what it is — the Zionist program is a program of con-

quest. This means clearing their declared state of all resistance and all Arabs, so far as possible.

This explanation would clear up much of the confusion about illegal settlement building, land thievery, separation walls and slaughter of Gaza innocents. Netanyahu’s government seems Zionist. So let’s not waste more time on two-state solutions. Zionism leaves no room for such weakness.

Double rooms only My late husband waited several hours in the emergency room until a double room became available. He had a longtime phobia about being alone. He always asked for a double room when being admitted to the hospital. I feel the hospital should take this into consideration when changing to all single rooms.

aking the city safer for bicyclists makes sense — after all, it’s hard to encourage commuting by bike when a rider feels as though the streets are deadly. Santa Fe, despite its miles of bike trails, often feels unsafe for bike riders.

Mayor Javier Gonzales wants to improve bike safety with plans for safer intersections and painting green bicycle lanes on city streets. The notion is that by marking the lanes in a bright color, motorists will have a visual cue to expect bicycle riders. All of that is well and good, with $50,000 proposed to improve safety at intersections.

But let’s not stop there. Santa Fe needs a wider conversation about bikes, traffic and how to encourage motorists and cyclists to coexist more safely.

There’s the perception, by motorists, that too many cyclists do not obey traffic laws. Cyclists want the respect given to cars and trucks, while riding the wrong way on a sidewalk and running red lights and stop signs.

There’s the perception, by cyclists, that motorists do not watch out for them. Riding on narrow roads, such as Old Santa Fe Trail, is akin to risking life and limb, or at the least, a case of road rage by drivers of cars that are backed up for blocks because a slow-moving bike can’t move any faster.

There’s the understanding that roads are for both cars and cycles. They have to share. While that is true in theory, we would like to see a conversation about bike safety tackle the notion of whether cars and bikes can truly coexist on extremely narrow roads, for example. Instead of bikes traversing on Old Santa Fe Trail closer to downtown, perhaps bike lanes need to be placed on wider, parallel streets.

(Maybe some roads could be designated bike-only, too.)

Cities around the country are discussing plans for encouraging bike riding that include bike lanes, trails and, yes, even bans of bikes on too-narrow roads. Coexisting does not have to mean every street.

More importantly, if cyclists are taking to the roads, the rest of the driving population should have some indication that the bike riders know traffic laws. Is it time to consider licenses for cyclists (the money raised through licenses could pay for some of the mayor’s initiatives)? Or, if licenses are too complicated, considering that children also ride bikes, perhaps the focus should be on improved safety training for cyclists.

Anyone on the road, riding with motor traffic, should know basic safety and traffic laws. In some cities, bicyclists who receive tickets get points against their licenses, just as drivers do. Other areas require the safety classes after tickets are handed out.

Getting more people to use bikes for transportation is good for Santa Fe. It reduces carbon emissions by reducing traffic. It encourages healthy habits. More parking will be available. But sharing the roads safely means more than green bike lanes or safe crossings. We have to create a transportation world where cars and bikes give each other enough room to maneuver.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 15, 1914: Albuquerque — Dallas McDaniel, a cowboy, has written to friends at Portales, N.M., his home, from Liverpool, announcing his escape from Port Lopez, French Congo, where he was marooned when the war broke out. McDaniel went to Africa with a group to capture live specimens of gorilla for a New York zoo. McDaniel was taken along to rope the apes. The expedition was abandoned when the war started and McDaniel and others of the party were left at Port Lopez without funds for 60 days. They escaped on one of three English ships, which McDaniel writes were chased by German cruisers, which sank two of the ships. Their ship, he says, was set on fire by a shell, but the fire was controlled.

Dec. 15, 1964: Manuel Armijo, director of the New Mexico Veterans Service Commission, said he didn’t mind the first time the Chinese elm in his yard at 226 Sombrio was decorated (with toilet paper) by pranksters. “I laughed.” But when it happened for the third time over this past weekend, Armijo “got downright mad.”

Newsmakers Obamas get into holiday spirit at benefit concert

WASHINGTON — The Obamas celebrated the holiday season Sunday with “The Rock” and singers Rita Ora and Darius Rucker.

President Barack Obama and his family attended the 33rd annual “Christmas in Washington” concert Sunday at the National Building Museum. The event is a benefit for the Children’s National Health System.

Before the concert, Obama, his wife, Michelle, and daughters, Sasha and Malia, presented gifts — including a basket of children’s books — to former patients of the center. The six youngsters, dressed as elves, posed for portraits with the first family.

Fast and Furious actor Dwayne Johnson, also known as “The Rock,” hosted the concert and jokingly sang his own rendition of “Deck the Halls.” Following the carols, Obama reminded guests of the reason for the holiday.

“Jesus lived a life of peace, love, kindness and forgiveness,” he said. “During the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, may we all do our best to follow his example.”

Obama also thanked service members for their sacrifices.

The concert will be broadcast Friday evening on TNT. The Associated Press

Facebook, Google to comply with strict data regulations

By Mark Scott The New York Times

LONDON — From their glass-fronted office parks and startup lofts in Silicon Valley, U.S. tech companies oversee ever-expanding global empires.

Google has a bigger slice of the online search market in Europe than it does at home, where rivals like Microsoft still give it a run for its money. More than 80 percent of Facebook’s 1.3 billion users live outside the United States, with Brazil and India among the social network’s most important markets.

And Apple, which generates roughly 60 percent of its revenue overseas, now sells more iPhones and iPads in Shanghai and St. Petersburg than it does in San Diego.

The world’s seemingly insatiable appetite for all things tech has made many of these giants among the most profitable companies in the world.

But selling these products has also placed them largely at odds with global privacy rules that go far beyond what U.S. lawmakers demand at home. While the tech companies often rely on lengthy (frequently incomprehensible) consent forms and First Amendment rights to protect themselves against claims of misuse of their users’ online information, that defense does not hold up in large parts of the world, including Malaysia, South Africa, Brazil, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan and Argentina.

That’s because the right to privacy — given almost the same weight as freedom of expression — is taken more seriously abroad, notably in Europe, where politicians are considering rules that would fine any company up to $125 million or 5 percent of its annual revenue if it flouted the region’s strict data protection rules. And as people from Paraguay to the Philippines clamor for greater control over their postings on social networks, in online forums and across the Internet, many of these countries’ regulators are taking a page out of Europe’s privacy playbook. That includes lifting passages from the region’s tough privacy regulations when writing their own national laws.

“Europe’s data protection rules have become the default

privacy settings for the world,” said Billy Hawkes, the former data protection regulator for Ireland, whose role included policing the handling of online data of international users for companies with overseas operations run from Dublin like LinkedIn, Twitter and Dropbox.

“People around the world are benefiting from the standards we’ve set here.”

Faced with the growing need to cater to a global audience — and to contend with international regulators who have put privacy front and center — U.S. companies are being forced to comply with stricter protection standards that are frequently more onerous than those at home. Facebook, for example, has repeatedly rewritten its privacy policies to give its global users a greater say in how their online data is used. Lawmakers and individuals in Europe — where all of its non-American customers are regulated — protested that the company routinely broke the region’s privacy rules when handling people’s personal information.

“Facebook just took its U.S. privacy policy and rolled it out in Europe,” said Max Schrems, an Austrian lawyer who has filed a class-action lawsuit against the social network involving more than 25,000 users for violating the region’s data protection laws when it sent individuals’ personal data to the United States, where domestic intelligence agencies could gain access to the information. “They never wanted to adapt their privacy rules to anywhere outside America.”

Microsoft claims that its cloud computing services (which allow people to store documents and photos on the Internet) now comply with Europe’s tough data protection rules — the only U.S. company to receive such approval.

Google, meanwhile, is scrambling to comply with a recent European court ruling that allows anyone — whether in or out of the 28-member European Union — to ask that links to online information about themselves be removed from its global search results.

Although Google fought hard to block this right to be forgotten, it lost the battle, and has scrubbed thousands of links from its search results to adhere to the European ruling. Advocates for the new standard are hoping to force the company to extend the practice across its entire global search business.

Bond producers: Screenplay stolen

By Danica Kirka The Associated PRess

LONDON — The producers of James Bond films have acknowledged that an early version of the screenplay for the new movie SPECTRE was among the material stolen in the massive cyberattack on Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The producers said in a statement Saturday that they are concerned that third parties who received the screenplay might seek to publish it — and warned the material is subject to copyright protection around the world.

The producers promised to “take all necessary steps to protect their rights against the persons who stole the screenplay, and against anyone who makes infringing uses of it or attempts to take commercial advantage of confidential property it knows to be stolen.”

The warning was issued by EON productions, the U.K. affiliate of Danjaq LLC, the U.S.-based company that coowns, with Metro-GoldwynMayer Studios, the copyright to the Bond films and their merchandising.

There’s been speculation that North Korea is behind the cyberattack in retaliation for

the upcoming comedy The Interview. That film depicts an assassination attempt on North Korean Daniel Craig leader Kim Jong Un. North Korea has condemned the film, but denied the hack.

The revelation is just the latest among the spectacular leaks that are causing continuing embarrassment for Sony.

Highly sensitive material is being leaked almost daily, including an exchange between Oscar-winning producer Scott Rudin and Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman, Amy Pascal.

Rudin called Angelina Jolie a “spoiled brat” and made racially offensive jokes about President Barack Obama’s presumed taste in movies.

Rudin and Pascal have apologized.

The next 007 adventure, —called SPECTRE, after the dastardly fictional terrorist organization featured in Dr. No — is so hotly anticipated that even the revelation of its title was a media event. It will be Daniel Craig’s fourth film as Bond.

MINNEAPOLIS — Kobe Bryant has reached rarefied air.

The Los Angeles Lakers star passed Michael Jordan for third on the NBA’s career scoring list Sunday night in a 100-94 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bryant entered the game needing nine points to pass the icon with whom he is often compared. He got the mark with two free throws with 5:24 to play in the second quarter.

“I’m just honored to be here, man, to still be playing,” Bryant said. “I appreciate being able to play this long. Careers normally don’t last this long. I really appreciate the opportunity to still be out there playing and performing and doing what I do.”

Now only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone have scored more points than Bryant.

“I congratulate Kobe on reaching this milestone,” Jordan, the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, said in a statement released to The Associated Press. “He’s obviously a great player, with a strong work ethic and has an equally strong passion for the game of basketball. I’ve enjoyed watching his game evolve over the years, and I look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next.”

Bryant didn’t break a record Sunday night. Abdul-Jabbar is still more than 6,000 points ahead of him and in no danger of being caught. But moving past Jordan was cause for celebration.

The two players have been linked for years and Bryant often mimicked

SAN DIEGO eyton Manning was sick and sore.

He took four bags of intravenous fluid between Saturday night and Sunday morning, and then hurt his right thigh in the second quarter, requiring more treatment.

It was all good, though. Nothing a victory and a fourth straight AFC West title won’t cure.

Sunday that clinched the division title.

“He was sick. I don’t think it was Jordan game flu sick, but he was sick,” running back C.J. Anderson said, referring to how sick Michael Jordan was when he scored 38 points in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals.

“He went out there and battled,” Anderson added. “He battled the Chargers’ D, battled the crowd, battled the adversity and battled himself.

That’s a lot of battles going on in one man’s lifetime right now. But he went out there and overcame it and helped us out with a ‘W’ today.”

Manning said he first started feeling ill Saturday evening.

“I had a rough night. I’m not going to lie, it

wasn’t an enjoyable night,” Manning said. “It came out of nowhere.”

Manning came out of the game late in the second quarter. He said he was hurt while scrambling to his right and completing a pass to Emmanuel Sanders. Three plays later, he blocked linebacker Donald Butler on a run by Anderson.

The Broncos had to settle for a field goal and Manning headed to the locker room while Brock Osweiler led an unproductive series.

“I was in some discomfort and had some limitations,” Manning said. “If you can’t do your job, you can’t move, if you hurt yourself, you hurt the team.”

Bryant has 3 TD catches, Cowboys beat Eagles

By Rob Maaddi The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Dez Bryant went nose-to-nose with Malcolm Jenkins in warmups and torched Bradley Fletcher three times during the game.

Bryant caught a career-best three touchdown catches from Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys rallied to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-27 on Sunday night after wasting a 21-0 lead.

DeMarco Murray had a pair of TD runs to help the Cowboys (10-4) move ahead of the Eagles (9-5) into first place in the NFC East. The Eagles dominated the Cowboys in a 33-10 road win on Thanksgiving, but Dallas takes control of the division with two weeks left.

“Just came out poised. I was focused,” Bryant said. “We knew that this game

was going to be big. We’re not really out trying to prove nothing to nobody.

We’re trying to stay together, play together and understand from here on out it’s big games. We’ve got to stay together. We’ve got to block everybody else out. We can’t be in to all of that.”

The NFC-leading Arizona Cardinals (11-3) clinched a playoff berth because the game didn’t end in a tie.

The Cowboys took a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter before Philadelphia rallied behind Mark Sanchez.

Chris Polk had TD runs of 1 and 5 yards and Darren Sproles ran in from the 1 to give the Eagles a 24-21 lead late in third quarter. But Romo and the Cowboys answered quickly with two touchdowns in a span of 2:51.

Murray scored on a 2-yard run to cap

NHL

Pittsburgh’s Crosby out after tests reveal case of mumps

By Jeff Z. Klein The New York Times

Pittsburgh Penguins’ Sidney Crosby skates during the second period of a Dec. 6 game against the Ottawa Senators in Pittsburgh. Crosby is in the midst of a five-day isolation after testing positive for the mumps.

GENE J. PUSKAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The NHL’s mumps outbreak claimed its most famous victim Sunday, as the Pittsburgh Penguins announced that Sidney Crosby was out with that viral disease.

On Sunday, Crosby was in the midst of a five-day isolation, team officials said.

“It came about as a bit of a surprise to us,” Dr. Dharmesh Vyas, the Penguins’ head doctor, told reporters Sunday. “Every indication was that he was

well protected against the disease.”

Crosby practiced Friday, but afterward one side of his face was noticeably swollen. Swelling is a sign of mumps infection, although in Crosby’s case the swelling could also have resulted from a facial injury sustained Nov. 28 in a game against Carolina.

Both Crosby and the team said that initial tests showed he did not have the mumps, but later Friday the Penguins announced that he would be held out of the team’s two weekend games as a precaution. On Sunday morning, the Penguins confirmed

that further testing showed he had the mumps.

According to the Penguins, Crosby was given immunization and a booster shot before leaving for the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, last February. He was also given immunization two weeks ago, along with the entire team.

But mumps vaccines are not foolproof, according to Dr. Walter Orenstein, associate director of the Emory Vaccine Center in Atlanta. People

NFL

Manziel falls flat in debut, Browns blanked The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Johnny Manziel spent his first NFL start being chased and taunted by Cincinnati defenders as the Bengals rudely Bengals 30 welcomed the hyped rookie quarterback to Browns 0 the league with a 30-0 demolition of the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Manziel failed to live up to the overwhelming buildup surrounding his debut as the AFC North-leading Bengals (9-4-1) built a 20-point halftime lead and rolled to their fourth straight road win.

Bengals rookie Jeremy Hill rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns, backing up his postgame trash talk of the Browns following a loss to them last month.

PATRIOTS 41, DOLPHINS 13 In Foxborough, Mass., New England clinched the AFC East title for the sixth straight season as Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes in a big third quarter.

Leading 14-13 at halftime, the Patriots scored on four consecutive series while piling up 24 points, the most in any third period in team history.

New England (11-3) can secure homefield advantage throughout the AFC playoffs by beating the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. Miami (7-7) saw its slim postseason hopes dwindle further.

COLTS 17, TEXANS 10 In Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and the Colts won their second straight AFC South title.

Indianapolis (10-4) has won four straight.

It sure wasn’t easy. Luck was 18 of 34 with 187 yards and one interception on the same day Reggie Wayne passed Peyton Manning for the most games and wins in franchise history. Wayne has played in 209 games, winning 142.

LIONS 16, VIKINGS 14 In Detroit, Matt Prater’s 33-yard field goal with 3:38 remaining lifted Detroit into a tie for first place in the NFC North.

The Lions (10-4) are now even atop the division with Green Bay, which lost to Buffalo earlier in the day, but Detroit didn’t have an easy time, spotting the Vikings (6-8) a 14-0 lead before a pair of second-quarter interceptions helped the Lions start their rally.

Even at the end, Detroit had to sweat out a 68-yard field goal attempt by Minnesota’s

Blair Walsh on the game’s final play. The kick was short.

BILLS 31, PACKERS 13 In Orchard Park, N.Y., Bacarri Rambo intercepted two Aaron Rodgers passes and Marcus Thigpen scored on a 75-yard Johnny punt return.

Manziel Defensive end Mario Williams also forced Rodgers to fumble, which led to running back Eddie Lacy being tackled in the end zone for a safety with 1:51 left. Dan Carpenter hit all three field goal attempts, including a 51-yarder in the second half to help keep Buffalo (8-6) in the AFC playoff picture.

The Bills were also have their first eightwin season since going 9-7 in 2004.

STEELERS 27, FALCONS 20 In Atlanta, Ben Roethlisberger threw for 360 yards and William Gay returned an interception for a touchdown as the Steelers (9-5) remained a half-game behind Cincinnati in the AFC North with their second straight win.

The Falcons (5-9) ensured themselves of a losing season and slipped out of first place in the NFC South.

Pittsburgh led 13-0 after Gay picked off Matt Ryan’s pass over the middle on the first play of the second quarter, returning it 52 yards. The Steelers extended the lead to 27-13 with Le’Veon Bell’s 1-yard run in the opening minute of the fourth period.

RAVENS 20, JAGUARS 12 In Baltimore, the Ravens sacked rookie Blake Bortles eight times and returned a blocked punt for a touchdown.

Baltimore (9-5) gained only 31 yards rushing through three quarters and scored just once with its offense on the field. But the defense was solid, and special teams helped the Ravens stay in the thick of the AFC playoff chase.

Terrell Suggs was credited with 2½ sacks and rookie Timmy Jernigan, starting for the suspended Haloti Ngata, had two.

PANTHERS 19, BUCCANEERS 17 Derek Anderson threw for 277 yards and a touchdown, Graham Gano kicked four field goals and the Panthers improved their chances in the NFC South playoff race.

The win, coupled with Atlanta’s loss to Pittsburgh, put the Panthers percentage points in first place ahead of New Orleans in the division. The Saints (5-8) play at Chi-

cago on Monday night.

Anderson was 25 of 40 and improved to 2-0 as a starter in place of Cam Newton, sidelined while recovering from a car accident Tuesday that left him with two fractures in his lower back.

CHIEFS 31, RAIDERS 13 In Kansas City, Mo., Alex Smith threw for 297 yards and two scores, while Kansas City shut down Derek Carr and the Oakland offense.

Knile Davis had touchdowns running and receiving, and De’Anthony Thomas returned a punt 81 yards for another score as the Chiefs (8-6) got even for a 24-20 loss to Oakland (2-12) last month.

The Chiefs led 10-6 early in the third quarter before scoring three touchdowns in 4 minutes, 42 seconds. The last was a 70-yard throw from Smith to Davis, who had taken over the majority of running back duties after Jamaal Charles took a shot to the head.

GIANTS 24, REDSKINS 13 In East Rutherford, N.J., Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes to rookie Odell Beckham Jr. and the Giants took advantage of an overturned touchdown at the end of the half.

Manning and Beckham combined 12 times for 143 yards, with touchdown passes covering 10, 35 and 6 yards. The win was the second straight for the Giants (5-9) after seven consecutive losses.

The Redskins (3-11) blew a touchdown and command of the game on a fumble by Robert Griffin III as time expired at the end of the first half. Griffin scrambled for an apparent 8-yard touchdown for a 17-7 lead, diving over the pylon, then running on to the field and spiking the ball with emphasis.

JETS 16, TITANS 11 In Nashville, Tenn., Chris Ivory scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 3:09 left in a game marked by a brawl between teams playing only for pride, with the loser hoping for better draft position.

The Jets (3-11) got their first road win this season in the first NFL game to end with a 16-11 score. They also snapped a three-game skid.

Geno Smith threw for 179 yards and a TD. He also was apparently hit by Titans defensive tackle Jurrell Casey, starting a brawl in the third quarter. Casey was flagged, but not ejected.

Bryant: Took 1,269 games to pass Jordan Continued from Page B-1 Jordan from his earliest days in the league, from the way he pumped his fist after big shots to adopting the fade-away jumper as his career has progressed and even sprinkling in a little tongue-wagging on his drives to the bucket as a youth.

“He knows how much I’ve learned from him,” Bryant said.

“From the other legends, but him in particular.”

The Timberwolves stopped the game, and a Lakers-heavy crowd gave Bryant a standing ovation as Wolves owner Glen Taylor — the NBA’s chairman of the board — presented him with the game ball.

With a big smile on his face, Bryant received hugs from teammates and the Timber-

wolves, and waved to the crowd during the brief stoppage.

Bryant has been chasing Jordan for almost two decades now. He’s still one title short of the six Jordan won with the Bulls, but has now caught Jordan in the game’s defining individual statistic.

Bryant had 32,284 points when he took the floor against a Timberwolves team that includes 19-year-old rookies Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine, two players who were barely born when Bryant made his NBA debut in 1996.

He missed four of his first five field goals, but knocked down a 3-pointer midway through the second quarter to pull within two points. He nearly passed Jordan with one

of his patented fall-away jumpers from the baseline, but it rimmed out and with 5:24 to play and 24 seconds on the shot clock, No. 24 stepped to the line and calmly swished two freebies to do it. He finished the night with 26 points and 32,310 for his career.

It took Bryant 1,269 games to reach the NBA’s career scoring podium. Jordan amassed his 32,292 points in 1,039 regularseason games.

Jordan moved into third place in 2003, and the top of the NBA’s scoring mountain had remained unchanged for nearly 12 years.

Ever since Bryant really started to hit his stride as an elite scorer beginning with his fourth year in the league, he was widely considered the one

to the record books would have to reserve a spot for.

Jordan retired and came back twice, giving up prime years that cost him a shot at AbdulJabbar’s record. Jordan also played three years of college while Bryant jumped straight to the pros and started racking up the points, albeit at a gradual rate.

But Bryant endured his own hardship as he rose up the ranks.

His aggressive climb up the scoring ladder was stunted as he dealt with major injuries to his Achilles tendon and knee that limited him to six games last season. He has returned this season as ferocious as ever, but has struggled with efficiency while shooting a ghastly 38.7 percent.

Mumps: Virus hits 6 teams since October Continued from Page B-1 affected by the virus, which has an incubation period of from 12 to 25 days, can spread it before they become symptomatic, he said.

The Penguins are believed to be the sixth NHL team struck by the outbreak, which seems to have begun in October and has affected about a dozen players.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, mumps outbreaks have remained at a fairly constant level since 2000. From Jan. 1 to Nov. 29, the CDC reported 1,078 mumps cases in the United States; last year there were 438.

Before the mumps vaccination program began in 1967, about 186,000 cases were reported each year.

The Penguins, in first place in the Metropolitan Division, said Crosby will miss at least one more game, Monday in Pittsburgh against the Atlantic Division-leading Tampa Bay Lightning.

Crosby will be “monitored daily, but specialists believe he should be through the infectious period by Monday,” the team said.

NFL

Seattle knocks 49ers out of contention with win

By Tim Booth The Associated Press

SEATTLE — The NFC playoffs could be routed through the Pacific Northwest again.

Not a happy prospect for the rest of the Seahawks 17 conference.

49ers 7 The Seahawks first had to knock their mostheated rival out of contention.

Marshawn Lynch rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown, Russell Wilson threw a touchdown pass to rookie Paul Richardson, and Seattle kept up its chase for a division title and No. 1 seed with a 17-7 win over San Francisco on Sunday.

After a sluggish, sloppy first half filled with penalties and missed assignments, Seattle (10-4) awoke in the final 30 minutes behind the running of Lynch and a defense that shut out the 49ers, holding them to 67 yards. Colin Kaepernick was sacked six times and the 49ers didn’t run a play past the Seattle 38 in the second half.

Lynch scored on a 4-yard run late in the third quarter and the Seahawks took advantage of a short field on their next drive, capped by Wilson’s strike to Richardson.

The loss and Detroit’s win eliminated San Francisco (7-7) from making the postseason. It’s the first time in Jim Harbaugh’s four seasons the 49ers won’t be playing in January, and will only heighten questions about Harbaugh’s future with the club.

Seattle got the help its needed earlier Sunday when Buffalo beat Green Bay. If the Seahawks win their final two games — at Arizona and home vs. St. Louis — they could end up with the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the second straight season.

Wilson was 12 of 24 for 168 yards and rushed for another 27 yards. Kaepernick was 11 of 19 for 141 yards, but was constantly under pressure

playing behind an offensive line missing two starters. Center Marcus Martin and right tackle Anthony Davis were both inactive with injuries.

In a season filled with key injuries, the 49ers lost two more players late in the first half and another in the third quarter.

Star running back Frank Gore, who scored on a 10-yard run in the second quarter, left with a concussion. Middle linebacker Chris Borland, the NFC defensive rookie of the month in November, hurt his ankle on the final play of the first half.

He attempted to return, but was mostly a spectator and replaced

by Nick Moody.

Gore’s backup, Carlos Hyde, was bent backward and appeared to injure his right leg late in the third quarter. He never returned.

The absence of Borland was significant. Seattle rushed for 90 yards in the third quarter alone after having just 47 in the first half. Lynch had runs of 13 and 15 yards on his touchdown drive that was capped by strolling the final yard into the end zone.

San Francisco went threeand-out on the next possession, including Hyde’s injury on first

down. Seattle took possession at the 49ers 44 and Wilson immediately went for 19 yards on a designed keeper.

The drive was kept alive by a third-down roughing-the-passer call against Moody.

Two plays later, Richardson caught the first TD of his career on a 10-yard strike from Wilson and a 10-point Seahawks lead.

The first half was nearly perfect for San Francisco. The 49ers had 178 total yards after having 164 for the entire game in the first meeting. After having just six plays of 10 yards or more in the previous loss to the Seahawks — none longer than 16 yards — San Francisco had nine plays of 10 or more yards in the half.

Less than two minutes into the second quarter, the 49ers already had 79 yards rushing after being held to 64 in the first game.

Seattle had a chance to get points in the closing seconds of the first half, but Wilson was intercepted by Eric Reid. The return was costly for both teams as Borland was injured at the end of the play, while Seattle lost left tackle Russell Okung to a chest injury after getting blocked.

Broncos: Now tied with Patriots for best record in the AFC Broncos a 16-3 lead.

A week earlier, Manning’s touchdown streak came to a halt at 51 games, three shy of Drew Brees’ NFL record, and he was picked off twice for the fourth time in the past six games.

San Diego pulled within six points when Antonio Gates caught a 5-yard pass from Rivers with 10:13 left. Gates joined Rob Gronkowski as the only tight ends in NFL history with four seasons with at least 10 touchdown catches.

Then Manning led the Broncos on a drive capped by Barth’s 49-yard field goal with 4:53 to play. After Aqib Talib intercepted Rivers, Barth kicked a 44-yarder to give the Broncos a 12-point lead.

The Broncos got inside the Chargers 10 on consecutive drives in the first half but had to settle for field goals each time.

San Diego’s Nick Novak had a 46-yard field goal attempt blocked by Derek Wolfe.

Cowboys: Now 7-0 on the road ing and two interceptions.

The Cowboys recovered what ended up being an onside kick to start the game. A short kickoff bounced between deep returner Josh Huff and short man Brad Smith at the 15 and was recovered by C.J. Spillman at the Eagles 18.

After Romo connected with Terrance Williams on an 8-yard pass on third-and-6, Murray ran in from the 1 to make it 7-0.

“We can’t turn the football over and expect to win games,” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said.

“We’re not coaching it and we’re not doing the right things.”

The Eagles went three-andout on their first possession, but Donnie Jones pinned the Cowboys back to the 12 with a 68-yard punt.

Romo then led the Cowboys 88 yards on 16 plays. He completed three third-down passes to Jason Witten to extend the drive and tossed a 4-yard fade to Bryant over Fletcher to put Dallas up 14-0.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Mother doesn’t support teenager Dear Annie: I am a 14-year-old boy. I’m on the swim team, and I take tap dancing lessons. But when I told my mom that I’d like to continue with both, she told me tap was a waste of time and that I would never go anywhere with it.

Only when one of my dance friends offered to take me to class after school did she agree that I could go. She still does not believe in my talent, even after being told multiple times that my instructors think I have plenty. She even missed some of my most important solos.

It’s like she has drifted away from me. She used to love seeing me tap dance, and now she rarely does. What should I do about her?

— Gotta Dance Dear Dance: You can be patient and hope she comes around. There could be many reasons why your mother suddenly doesn’t want to encourage you to dance, and it might help to ask her directly. But as long as she is willing to let you continue, and you enjoy it, we hope you will keep it up. Not every activity turns into a career, nor should it. Dancing, whether you are talented or not, keeps you in good physical condition and is fun to do.

Dear Annie: My dad has smoked for the past 40 years. He used to smoke in the house, but after I had issues with bronchitis as a baby, he started going outside.

The problem is, when he comes in after having a cigarette, he still reeks of smoke. He stinks up the house, and when he pets the family cat, she smells like smoke, too. In addition, he smokes in his truck, so that often has a smoky odor, too.

My mother and I have told him that even though he actually lights up outside, bringing all that smoke back into the house is still dangerous to our health (and our cat’s).

He doesn’t believe we are exposed to anything harmful, because the odor and smokiness aren’t coming directly from a lit cigarette.

Isn’t this considered thirdhand smoke? I don’t expect your answer to make him stop smoking, but maybe for our sake he will at least stay outside a little

longer. — Miffed in the Midwest Dear Miffed: According to the Mayo Clinic, studies show that third-hand smoke clings to hair, skin, clothes, furniture, drapes, walls, bedding, carpets, vehicles and other surfaces, and builds up over time. Infants, children and nonsmoking adults may be at risk of tobacco-related health problems when they inhale, ingest or touch substances containing thirdhand smoke, although the effects are still being studied.

Your father is unlikely to stay outside very long in cold weather, and even if he did, it wouldn’t solve the problem, because the smoke clings to his hair and clothes when he returns inside.

Some people recommend electronic cigarettes, not because they reduce cancer risk, but because they appear to lessen the impact of third-hand smoke.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Traveling Man,” whose retired husband has developed a phobia when it comes to car travel.

I was widowed when I met my twice-married husband 14 years ago. I had fully intended to live independently, but we fell in love, tossed caution to the wind and got married. We are still crazy in love.

And we enjoy our own company.

On our honeymoon, he went deep-sea fishing, and I chose to go kayaking. I am 58 and have never been happier. Everyone advised me not to rush into a relationship, especially since he had custody of two teenagers. It wasn’t easy at times, but I am so grateful that the kids are a big part of my life.

So why am I writing this?

Because you just never know. I did everything “wrong” and still ended up lucky in love. — Good Instincts Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
