Coyote Cafe’s fight for more palatable rent escalates

I

n the dog-eat-dog world of real estate and big business, the owners of Santa Fe’s Coyote Cafe became convinced that their rent of $38,000 a month was excessive.

The tony restaurant had to sell a lot of creamy cognac lobster bisque and its signature elk tenderloin to cover that bill.

“There are restaurants in Manhattan with cheaper rent,” said the Coyote’s chef, Eric DiStefano.

A New York-size rental fee in New Mexico caught the Milan attention of David Simonich Berardinelli. He is Ringside Seat an attorney who also happens to be a fan of DiStefano and the Coyote Cafe.

Berardinelli says the chef is a genius when it comes to creating superb and exotic dishes. But DiStefano has no expertise in complex lease agreements or the bare-knuckles world in which a landlord might take advantage of a money-making tenant, Berardinelli said.

As it stands now, the application process for the new program starts in May, but Diaz is urging those who might qualify to get their paperwork together as soon as possible. That might include payroll stubs, utility bills, rental agreements, proof of school enrollment for a child.

If it moves forward, the DAPA program would allow those who qualify to get a three-year moratorium on deportation and a chance to legally work in the United States with a valid Social Security number.

Applicants would pay a fee of $465. Those who apply must: u Be a parent of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. u Have lived in the U.S. since Jan. 1, 2010. u Have not been convicted of certain criminal offenses.

One year ago, as New Mexico joined the rest of the nation in navigating the just-launched Affordable Care Act, as many as 80,000 people were expected to buy insurance policies through the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange.

But the federal online marketplace healthcare.gov, where the New Mexico exchange steers people shopping for individual coverage, tripped as it came out of the gate with technical malfunctions that slowed New Mexico’s marketing campaign. Enrollment expectations were slashed in half to around 40,000, but even those hopes proved to be well out of reach. When the first open-enrollment period closed March 31, about 32,000 people had purchased plans through the exchange.

As the second open-enrollment period gets underway, projections from insurers participating on the exchange show that by its close on Feb. 15, between 50,000 and 55,000 people in New Mexico will have enrolled in insurance plans through the exchange during the first two phases of the federal health care overhaul known as “Obamacare,” according to Amy Dowd, chief executive officer of the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange.

The gap between last year’s goal and the reality of this year’s projections suggests that, shortcomings of the federal enrollment website aside, the New Mexico exchange set an unrealistic goal. With that in mind, Dowd has been reluctant to peg a

alk onto any home construction site in the state of New Mexico, and it’s likely more than half the workers are immigrants, largely Spanishspeaking laborers from Mexico.

For some trades, such as roofing, stucco, concrete and plastering, the percentage of immigrant workers is even higher, between 90 percent and 100 percent of the local construction workforce, according to builders.

As President Barack Obama seeks to implement new immigration reforms, few industries in the state have as much as stake as construction.

“Our industry would not be viable in Santa Fe if not for the immigrant community,” said Kim Shanahan, executive director of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association. “We toss out the number 75 percent as immigrants.

How many of those are legal, it’s anybody’s guess.”

Ride services rely on tech, but at what cost?

Some say distracted drivers for hire pose threat to public safety

By Matt Richtel The New York Times

It can wait. The buzz phrase, popularized by AT&T in a public service campaign, urges drivers to show restraint with their phones.

But a growing number of drivers who make their living behind the wheel can’t wait. These are the drivers for Uber and its competitors, including taxi services, who, to make money, must respond nearly instantly to their smartphones, without regard to road conditions or safety.

When a service call comes in from Uber — by way of a loud beeping on the phone — a driver typically has 15 seconds to tap the phone to accept the fare. That can mean looking at the phone, seeing how far away the customer is and then making

a decision. Failure to respond in 15 seconds means the fare goes to a different driver. In some cities, failure to respond to several calls in a row can lead to Uber’s temporarily suspending a driver.

You need not be a neuroscientist or safety advocate to see the potential for danger when the phone, a potential source of driver distraction, becomes an essential means of transaction. But Uber is not alone, given that a similar system is used by Lyft and, arguably, an even more demanding one is used by a growing number of taxi drivers.

In San Francisco, the home of Uber and the hub of car-service innovation, taxi drivers use software called Flywheel that aims to allow competition against Uber. It works like this: When a customer calls for a taxi, a message goes out to a handful of cabs nearest the customer; the fastest to touch the Flywheel phone app in response gets the fare.

U.S. could put N. Korea back on terrorism list Obama says he plans to re-examine country’s status after Sony hack

By Amy Chozick The New York Times

HONOLULU — As the United States moves closer to taking Cuba off the list of state sponsors of terrorism, President Barack Obama said he would “review” whether to return North Korea to the list, part of a broader government response to a damaging cyberattack on Sony’s Hollywood studio.

“We have got very clear criteria as to what it means for a state to sponsor terrorism, and we don’t make those judgments just based on the news of the day,” Obama told CNN in an interview broadcast Sunday. “We look systematically at what’s been done.”

North Korea was removed from the list six years ago, but it has again

prompted the ire of the United States after the FBI said extensive evidence linked the North Korean government to a cyberattack on Sony Pictures.

The hacking of the studio’s computers, in response to a screwball comedy called The Interview, about a plot to assassinate the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, started as the stuff of Hollywood gossip but quickly escalated into an assault on an important industry — and the right to freedom of expression.

In a news conference Friday, Obama said the United States “will respond proportionately,” but declined to give details.

Sunday was the second day of Obama’s two-week vacation in Hawaii.

“The president is always briefed on appropriate national security matters. Hawaii is no different,” said Eric Schultz, a White House spokesman. He added, “We’re not going to release any details on our

Children play Thursday near a house on which a fishing boat landed after it was swept away by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

Ten years later, where did all the tsunami debris go?

City engulfed by 2004 wave now almost totally restored

By Fakhrurradzie Gade and Niniek Karmini The Associated Press

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia ars. Fishing boats. Houses. Entire villages. The 2004 tsunami left Banda Aceh with mountains of debris up to 4 miles inland.

Driving in the remade communities today, it’s easy to wonder where it all went. Some of it is still there — recycled into road materials, buildings and furniture. Some of it was burned, creating new environmental hazards. And most of it was simply washed out to sea.

Ten years after that gigantic wave engulfed this city of 4 million on the northern tip of Indonesia’s Sumatra island on the day after Christmas, Banda Aceh has been almost totally restored. The tangled mountains of rubbish are gone, and it’s hard to imagine the destruction that once choked rivers, blocked streets and ripped up trees by the roots.

The endless heaps of twisted metal, splintered wood and broken concrete have all disappeared except for some scattered reminders for tourists and local residents. A drive along the coast highlights a stunning coastline with new houses perched near the beach. Lush mangroves have been planted to help withstand future tsunamis, fishermen are back at sea and farmers are again working their rice paddies.

Still, authorities are concerned about the health and environmental risks posed by debris contaminated by oil, asbestos and medical waste sitting on the seafloor off the coast and in 32 unregulated dump sites around the city.

“Unsafe disposal of waste will cause further environmental damage in the long term,” said Kuntoro Mangkusubroto, who headed the Aceh and Nias Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Agency, which led the massive clean-up effort and was dissolved in 2009 after the job was judged finished.

Banda Aceh was the hardest hit city by the disaster, which devastated hundreds of communities in more than a dozen countries around the Indian Ocean.

The tsunami left an estimated 13 million cubic yards of debris, most of it washed into the ocean, Mangkusubroto said. If all that was squeezed into a 2½ acre field, it would create a tower of trash 3,000 feet tall. Cleaning up the wrecked city was a mammoth, often overwhelming, task.

For weeks, the streets were strewn with rubble, and rescue workers retrieved dead bodies from under houses and in ponds, said Abdul Mutalib Ahmad, who worked at Banda Aceh’s only landfill and witnessed the tsunami from atop a three-story building.

“Debris was everywhere,” he said. “We thought we were facing severe public health problem with the massive amount of waste.”

At first, many survivors simply burned wood and other garbage. But authorities discouraged them from doing that because it polluted the air and could expose them to harmful toxins that might lead to respiratory problems. Some trash was covered with oil or chemicals, making it extremely flammable and hazardous, and in at least one case, a fire spread uncontrollably over a large area.

As key roads were cleared, trucks began carting tons of debris to the landfill every day for at least a year, Ahmad said.

Hazardous waste that was found among the rubble was buried in a separate marked area inside the city’s landfill, according to Tomi Soetjipto, the Indonesia spokesman for the U.N. Development Program, which oversaw much of the clean-up. And nearly 50 tons of expired medications — some of it donated after the tsunami — sit in a warehouse awaiting safe disposal.

Three months after the tsunami, the UNDP started a $40.5 million recycling program that employed 400,000 temporary workers to pluck wood and stone from the rubble and use the materials to rebuild roads and houses as well as to make furniture. The recycled waste was used to reconstruct 62 miles of roads and manufacture 12,000 pieces of wooden furniture, Mangkusubroto said.

The UNDP’s Tsunami Recovery Waste Management Project cleared about 1.3 million cubic yards of debris from the city, enough to fill 400 Olympic swimming pools. It also trained about 1,300 government workers in overseeing the program.

To combat attorney shortage, states now offer incentives CORSICA, S.D. — By landing a steady job in a hopping metropolis, Jake Fischer achieved the dream of many who finished law school during the Great Recession. Then, he left the big-city life and moved to a small South Dakota town, lured by a program that seeks to boost the number of rural attorneys.

Although federal grant money for decades has been available for doctors, nurses and dentists willing to relocate to sparsely populated areas, the South Dakota program is believed to be the first of its kind to similarly compensate lawyers.

Fischer, who is married with one child, is the first of up to 16 attorneys accepted into the program, which is funded by the state’s judicial system, the South Dakota Bar Association and the counties. It offers an annual subsidy of $12,000 to live and practice in rural communities.

Sierra Leone urges safe burials to stop Ebola spread DAKAR, Senegal — The radio announcement is chilling and blunt: “If I die, I want the deaths to stop with me.”

Dr. Desmond Williams continues: “I want to give my family the permission to request a safe and dignified, medical burial for me.”

The announcement is part of a campaign to urge Sierra Leoneans to abandon traditional burial practices, such as relatives touching or washing the dead bodies, that are fueling the spread of Ebola in the West African country. Ebola has killed more than 2,000 people in Sierra Leone and unsafe burials may be responsible for up to 70 percent of new infections, say experts. Officials are resorting to increasingly desperate measures to clamp down on traditional burials in Sierra Leone, where Ebola is now spreading fastest. The head of the Ebola response has even threatened to jail people who prepare the corpses of their loved ones.

Australian woman charged with murder of eight children CAIRNS, Australia — A judge on Monday rejected a plea by lawyers for an Australia woman charged with killing eight children to have the next hearing held in a mental health court.

Mersane Warria, charged under her full name of Raina Mersane Ina Thaiday, is facing eight counts of murder in the deaths of seven of her children and her niece, whose bodies were found inside her northern Australia home last week. Police were called to the home in the Cairns suburb of Manoora on Friday morning after receiving a report of a woman with serious injuries. When they got to the house, they found the bodies, along with Warria, who was suffering from stab wounds to the chest.

Kerry frustrated with slow work toward Mideast peace WASHINGTON — Secretary of State John Kerry is ending 2014 much in the same way he started it, frustrated in efforts to push Israel and Palestinians toward peace.

With a diplomatic showdown looming this past week over Arab plans to force Israel from occupied Palestinian lands within three years, Kerry prepared for a quick trip to Jordan in hopes of finding a calmer alternative. By Thursday, the crisis appeared to have been averted when Palestinian and Jordanian officials said they would not push their resolution to an immediate vote in the U.N. Security Council, partly because the U.S. threatened a veto.

The fast-moving political drama was a small, if temporary, victory for America’s chief diplomat in his quest to end generations of fighting and tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. But it also showed how unlikely it is that Kerry can help restart peace talks soon, much less achieve the lasting truce he long has hoped to arrange.

“If people come together, work together, exert an effort to try to find the common ground here, I’m confident that the people of Israel are as interested in peace as are the people in Palestine, in the West Bank, in Jordan, and in the region,” Kerry said recently.

Pope’s role in Cuba deal fractures relations MIAMI — The key role Pope Francis played encouraging talks between Presidents Barack Obama and Raul Castro left fractures among his flock in South Florida, where many older Roman Catholics equate the Castro brothers with the devil.

Many Catholics worldwide have expressed pride in seeing Francis stirring hopes of progress in communist Cuba, but some Cuban-Americans say their spiritual leader betrayed them.

“I’m still Catholic till the day I die,” said Efrain Rivas, a 53-yearold maintenance man in Miami who was a political prisoner in Cuba for 16 years. “But I am a Catholic without a pope.”

Rivas said he cried when Obama surprisingly announced a reversal of a half-century’s efforts to isolate Cuba. Then, when he learned of Francis’ role, he got angry.

Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski acknowledged that some Catholics are “concerned or suspicious,” but said many more exiles welcome the breakthrough, despite their suffering.

“The pain is real, but you can’t build a future on top of resentments,” Wenski told The Associated Press in an interview.

The Vatican has been reaching out to Cuba at least since Pope John Paul II, who declared during his historic 1998 visit to the island, “May Cuba, with all its magnificent potential, open itself up to the world, and may the world open itself up to Cuba.”

Discussions continued under Pope Benedict XVI, who visited Cuba in 2012. And Francis, the first Latin American pope, has advocated for an end to the U.S. embargo since participating in John Paul’s visit to Cuba as the soon-to-be-named Cardinal of Buenos Aires.

Cuban Cardinal Jaime Ortega, who is close to Francis, set up the papal visits and has been decisive in improving ties between the church and the officially atheist state since becoming Havana archbishop in 1981.

This frustrates some older Catholics who wanted the church to use its unique position inside Cuba to take a harder line.

“The church is contaminated,” said Miguel Saavedra, a 57-yearold Miami mechanic who leads an anti-Castro group and wears a gold cross as a sign of his Catholic faith.

NEW YORK — The gunman who fatally ambushed two police officers in their squad car had a long criminal record, a hatred for police and the government and an apparent history of mental instability that included an attempt to hang himself a year ago, authorities said Sunday.

Moments before opening fire, Ismaaiyl Brinsley approached people on the street and asked them to follow him on Instagram, then told them, “Watch what I’m going to do,” Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said.

A portrait of the Brooklynborn gunman emerged as big-city police departments and union leaders around the country warned officers to change up their routines and insist on extra backup a day after Brinsley carried out what he portrayed online as retaliation for the slayings of black men at the hands of white police.

Brinsley was black; the slain officers were Asian and Hispanic.

Investigators were trying to determine if Brinsley had taken part in any protests over the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, whose names he invoked in his online threat, or simply latched on to the cause for the final act in a violent rampage.

They said he traveled frequently between the South and New York, where he fathered a child in Brooklyn, and had been in the city earlier in the week.

Brinsley, 28, had at least 19 arrests in Georgia and

Ohio, spent two years in prison for gun possession and had a troubled childhood so violent that his mother was afraid of Ismaaiyl him, police Brinsley said. He ranted online about police and the government and expressed “self-despair and anger at himself and where his life was,” Boyce said.

Boyce said Brinsley’s mother believed he had undiagnosed mental problems and may have been on medication at some point, but detectives were still trying to determine if he had a mental illness.

On Saturday afternoon, Brinsley approached a squad car from behind in Brooklyn’s Bedford-Stuyvesant section and fired four shots, killing Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. He then ran into a subway station and committed suicide.

Hours earlier, Brinsley had shot and wounded his ex-girlfriend at her home outside Baltimore, then made threatening posts online, including a vow to put “wings on pigs” and references to the Brown and Garner cases.

Baltimore-area police warned the New York department that Brinsley was in the city and bent on violence. But New York police were still getting the

word out when Brinsley struck.

The slayings dramatically escalated tensions that have simmered for months over police killings of blacks.

The siege mentality was evident in several memos circulating among the rank and file at the 35,000-officer New York Police Department, the nation’s largest.

A union-generated message warned police officers that they should respond to every radio call with two cars — “no matter what the opinion of the patrol supervisor” — and not make arrests “unless absolutely necessary.” The president of the detectives union told members in a letter to work in threes when out on the street, wear bulletproof vests and keep aware of their surroundings.

“Cowards such as yesterday’s killer strike when you are distracted and vulnerable,” the letter read.

Another directive warned officers in Newark, N.J., not to patrol alone and to avoid people looking for confrontations.

At the same time, a memo from an NYPD chief asked officers to avoid fanning rage by limiting comments “via all venues, including social media, to expressions of sorrow and condolence.”

The slayings come at a tense time. Police nationwide are being criticized for months for their tactics, following Garner’s death in a New York officer’s

chokehold and Brown’s fatal shooting in Ferguson, Mo. Protests erupted in recent weeks after grand juries declined to charge the officers involved.

New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio attended Sunday Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, where Cardinal Timothy Dolan called for calm. Bratton later visited the families of both officers and laid flowers at a makeshift memorial at the site of the slayings.

“It’s a reflection that the community cares about the cops,” said Bratton, adding that the memorial was “very appropriate.”

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams also visited the memorial, calling on protest organizers to “hold off on any type of protest until these officers are laid to rest in a peaceful manner.”

The family of slain Officer Rafael Ramos also appealed for peace in the days ahead.

Cousin Ronnie Gonzalez said the family has already forgiven the gunman. “He’s in the hands of God now,” he said. “We don’t believe in vengeance; we just forgive.”

At an appearance with the Rev. Al Sharpton, Garner’s mother expressed her dismay over the killings of the officers.

“I’m standing here in sorrow about losing those two police officers. That was definitely not our agenda,” Gwen Garner said.

Dino death by volcano?

Scientists say massive eruption could have dramatically changed climate, caused extinction

By Joel Achenbach The Washington Post

T

here’s a solid consensus among scientists about what happened to the dinosaurs 66 million years ago: A mountain-sized meteorite crashed into the planet and triggered a mass extinction. The debris from the impact has been found in hundreds of locations around the world. Geologists have also found signs of the giant crater, centered on the tip of Yucatan Peninsula.

But there has long been an alternate theory, espoused by a rump caucus of researchers who think they’ve never been given a fair hearing. They believe the extinction was caused, at least in part, by an extraordinary volcanic eruption in India.

This eruption created the Deccan Traps, a geological formation that covers nearly 200,000 square miles of western India.

It was created by a flood of basaltic lava, the kind of eruption seen today on the Big Island in Hawaii. But the eruption that formed the Deccan Traps was unusually prolonged and prodigious. All told, the eruption produced about 311,887 cubic miles of lava, which is about 1.3 million times as much material produced by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The eruption pumped enormous, climatechanging quantities of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere.

Now scientists have found a way to date more precisely the Deccan Traps eruption, and the results are a boost, potentially, for the volcano-did-it camp.

The main pulse of the lava flow began about 250,000 years before the mass extinction event, and ended about 500,000 years after, according to a paper published online Thursday in the journal Science. Thus if the eruption is not a significant factor in the mass extinction, it’s a remarkable coincidence. Earlier attempts to date the Deccan Traps, using less precise methods, had a much larger margin of error, on the order of plus-or-minus one million years.

The lead author of the paper, Blair Schoene, a professor of geosciences at Princeton, said the results indicate that both the catastrophic impact and the more gradual, but extraordinary, volcanic eruption could have been factors in the endCretaceous mass extinction.

“Both are potentially really important,” Schoene said. “I don’t know if we can say the extinction would have or would not have happened without both of them.”

One obvious scenario: Climate change caused by the eruptions could have stressed the biosphere and set the conditions for a greater die-off when the asteroid smashed the planet.

“I sort of favor the one-two punch idea,” Schoene said.

Stronger words come from one of the paper’s co-authors, Gerta Keller, another Princeton professor who has been among the most outspoken proponents of the hypothesis that the Deccan Traps caused the mass extinction. Keller has long maintained that the asteroid impact happened earlier than the die-off and couldn’t have been the trigger. Her work has been controversial, and she has long been viewed as

“I think this is a game-changer,” she said of the new results. She said the new dating of the Deccan Traps strengthens the case for volcanism as the “primary cause” of the extinction.

“The data is so strong at this point that the momentum is entirely on my side,” she said.

The researchers took rock samples in India and scrutinized them for crystals containing uranium and lead. Crystals of zircon form in magma with trace amounts of uranium inside. The uranium gradually decays into lead. Because the rate at which uranium decays is well known, the ratio of uranium and lead isotopes in the crystals serves as a kind of clock, revealing how long it has been since the crystals formed.

Another co-author of the Science paper, Sam Bowring of MIT, said what’s important is that everyone now knows more accurately when the Deccan Traps eruptions began and ended.

“I do not think for a minute that this denigrates the role of the impact in the extinction, and I don’t think it proves that the impact didn’t have anything to do with the extinction. But what I think it does, for the first time, is establish with high precision and accuracy that the Deccan Traps began just prior to the extinction and continued throughout the extinction,” Bowring said.

matter. But at least now we can have a conversation on good temporal grounds,” Bowring said.

The fundamental problem for the hypothesis that volcanism caused the mass extinction is that it doesn’t seem to be necessary. The mass extinction, including the demise of the non-avian dinosaurs, was for a long time among the greatest mysteries in science, but few people view it as a mystery anymore.

Until 1980, scientists struggled to understand why so many life forms abruptly went extinct. Not only did the tyrannosaurs disappear, so did many species in the seas, including most of the species of tiny marine organisms called foraminifera. The Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary, usually referred to as the K/T boundary (the K is from the German word for Cretaceous), is clearly marked in marine sediments by the sudden drop in the size and diversity of foraminifera. Below the boundary, in older sediments, the forams are relatively large.

Above, there are only small forams. The evidence points to a sudden, planet-wide extinction event.

Scientists prefer parsimonious explanations — the simpler the better. Thus many appear reluctant to add the Deccan Traps to a tidy K/T extinction narrative. The asteroid impact appears to be the smoking gun, and any additional element to the narrative could potentially have a grassy-knoll quality to it.

Astronomers: Missing half of universe detected O ne of the biggest stories of the year in astronomy went largely unnoticed last month when a NASA scientist Michael Garcia reported on Nov. 6 the space agency’s fairly modest, suborbital CIBER rocket program had discovered “twice as much infrared light as we thought, as much as all the light in all the galaxies.” That was a way of saying that a missing half of the physical universe had been detected. It was, as Garcia emphasized, “a big result.”

The announcement came two days after the 2014 midterm elections in the U.S. and during the same week world attention was focused on the culmination of the European Space Agency’s $1.3 billion, 10-year project featuring the Philae lander maneuvering toward a risky touchdown on an oddly shaped comet.

Needless to say, these other stories tended to dominate the news at the time.

The new inventory of light, meanwhile, came out of NASA’s Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment, an international partnership in which scientists from Cal Tech, Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory play leading roles.

Two of the four CIBER rockets Roger used in photometry between 2010 Snodgrass and 2013 were launched from Science Matters White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

The CIBER program was specifically designed to answer the question of why the combined light sources, the galaxies and stars that we know about, did not account for as much as half the light that the universe has produced so far. In calculating the total mass of the universe, dark energy is thought to represent about 68 percent of the total, while dark matter represents 27 percent, and everything else that we consider normal matter, all the planets, stars and galaxies, make up the final 5 percent. And half of that had really not been pinned down.

A paper analyzing the results from two CIBER flights and an explanatory article appeared in the journal Science on Nov. 7. These papers were followed by news stories in a number of major publications, but the significance of finding a missing half of the universe was muted.

“There are still unexpected discoveries to be made,” said Joseph Smidt, a cosmologist in LANL’s Theoretical Division. One of the lead authors of the science paper, along with the principal investigator Michael Zemcov, a Cal Tech astronomer, Smidt’s job was to analyze the complex data in order to measure total infrared light in the universe, to see if there was something else out there after the foreground light was virtually removed by computation.

By looking for the missing light, the cameras that were used just above the Earth’s atmosphere focused on the near infrared aspect of the light spectrum, the part of light that is just beyond the visible, because that is the kind of light that reaches us from the earliest and most obscure stars, the ones that are most likely to have become undetectable. The Spitzer space telescope, an infrared observatory launched in 2003, had posed two main hypotheses to solve the question of the missing light — that there were undetected primordial galaxies, made up of the first stars after the rapid expansion of the universe, or that there were a very large number of stars that had been stripped from colliding and merging galaxies.

What the CIBER researchers were able to determine was that even after subtracting all the obvious sources of light, there still seemed to be a lot of individual stars, flowing out from their parent galaxies, creating a network of intergalactic objects, on a large enough scale for investigators to suggest a new cosmology.

“It is remarkable that such a major component of the universe could have been hiding in plain sight as an infrared background between the stars and galaxies,” S.H. Mosely wrote in Science.

“We like to think that all the galaxies we see are self-contained,” said Smidt, but what the CIBER program found was that far more stars than anybody thought had been set adrift. “Galaxies shed stars like crazy.”

EL NUEVO MEXICANO El sueño que nunca se desvanece

‘Grampo va’ shopping ‘para Crismes’ at Wal-Mart

CHICAGO ubo un tema de Crosby, Still, Nash and Young que salió en 1988 llamado “American Dream” (El Sueño Norteamericano). Tenía una melodía pegajosa, pero a los 14 años no me atrajo por ser muy negativo.

“Te despiertas en medio de la noche.

Con las sábanas húmedas y el rostro blanco, Trataste de que lo bueno durara, ¿Cómo pudo algo tan bueno volverse malo tan rápido?”

El tema, una sátira de los escándalos políticos, no era tan sorprendente proviniendo del mismo grupo que calumnió una ciudad Esther entera con “Chicago” y que Cepeda protestó contra la violencia Comentario en la Convención Nacional Demócrata de 1968.

La cuestión es que “American Dream” de CSNY, aunque con ritmo, era un deprimente — como lo son también los temas del mismo nombre de Hank Williams Jr., Lucinda Williams y, más recientemente, el dúo pop MKTO. El “Sueño Norteamericano” ha pasado por épocas duras y, según algunos, está otra vez contra las cuerdas.

Eso es lo que declaraban los titulares, después de la publicación de los resultados de una encuesta de The New York Times, este mes. Más de dos tercios de los encuestados dijeron que pensaban que las cosas en este país están yendo seriamente por el mal camino.

Y según reportajes siguientes, “sólo el 64 por ciento de los estadounidenses cree en el Sueño Norteamericano.”

Pero eso es sólo cierto si uno cree que el Sueño Norteamericano consiste en volverse rico.

Sí, las estadísticas tan citadas surgen de la respuesta a esta pregunta: “¿Piensa usted que es aún posible comenzar siendo pobre en este país, trabajar arduamente y volverse rico?”

A menos que uno sea Augie March, un personaje de una novela de Saul Bellow, uno podría interpretar el Sueño Norteamericano de diferente manera.

Llevé a cabo mi propia encuesta pública, aunque completamente no-científica, sobre el término en las redes de medios sociales y no pude hallar a ningún individuo que definiera el Sueño Norteamericano como “volverse rico.”

Una lectora, Sue Harrison, dijo, “Creo que el Sueño Norteamericano se basa en la libertad que tenemos la suerte de que se nos conceda como ciudadanos estadounidenses.”

Otra, Teresa Rufer Davis, escribió, “Paz mundial. La CURA para el cáncer. Ciudadanos que trabajan juntos. Negociaciones económicas sin clases junto con grandes ganancias por grandes riesgos. Eso es todo.”

Don Sellers se hizo eco de los sentimientos de mis dos hijos (que involucraban ir a la universidad, tener una casa, casarse y tener hijos) con: “La libertad y la oportunidad de vivir y trabajar y prosperar.”

Lynn Oscar Phillipps dijo “Paz”, mientras José Martínez resumió todo con “el Sueño Norteamericano es un sueño que nunca se acaba que puede cumplirse, hay algún límite? Sí, lo hay, nosotros ponemos el límite,” que yo parafraseo como que el Sueño Norteamericano es lo que cada uno de nosotros queremos que sea.

En el blog del Independent Women’s Forum, Jennifer Marsico también reaccionó ante la simplificación de un concepto tan profundamente personal y diverso. Citó una encuesta de septiembre de 2013, de The Washington Post y el Miller Center de la Universidad de Virginia, que “halló que sólo el 29 por ciento de los estadounidenses cree que volverse ricos es la esencia de lo que significa el Sueño Norteamericano — la menor respuesta en la lista de opciones que se brindaban.”

Aunque me gusta la definición a menudo citada de James Truslow Adams — “La vida debe ser mejor, más rica y más plena para todos, con oportunidades para todos según su capacidad de logros, independientemente de la clase social o las circunstancias del nacimiento” — mi interpretación descansa más en la de Benjamin Franklin.

Se dice que con su autobiografía, Franklin despertó “la formación definitiva del Sueño Norteamericano,” según el historiador J.A. Leo Lemay.

Aunque la mayoría lo considera como un tomo sobre el trabajo arduo, la virtud y la riqueza, el libro siempre me pareció una lección objetiva sobre la transformación. De ser un hambriento recién llegado a Philadelphia con unas pocas monedas a convertirse en tipógrafo, jefe de la oficina de correos, científico, fundador de una universidad, estadista, diplomático y maestro de ajedrez.

Como ese Padre Fundador, la fuerza del Sueño Norteamericano es la capacidad de transformación, de cualquier manera necesaria, para ascender de la modestia a la grandeza.

Ya sea si representa para algunos un símbolo de dólar o para otros el consuelo de la libertad personal envidiada en todo el mundo, su fuerza le da la capacidad de ser un catalizador o un consuelo.

De cualquier manera: El Sueño Norteamericano no está contra las cuerdas — pero si lo estuviera, estarían en lo cierto al creer que se recuperaría rápidamente.

Payasos en el evento de La Casa Christmas. CORTESÍA MORGAN SMITH

COMENTARIO

Una nota de apreciación Por Morgan Smith Para The New Mexican

C

on la llegada del fin de 2014, parece que la ruta hasta una reforma seria de nuestras leyes de inmigración será una ruta difícil, polémica y sin mucha esperanza de éxito. No obstante, hay tres organizaciónes humanitarias aquí en Santa Fe que continúan extendiendo sus manos al pueblo mexicano y ofreciendo un apoyo importante para el pueblo de Palomas y la ciudad de Juárez. Quiero agradecerlas por su trabajo tan persistente y valiente y esperar que sus proyectos de 2015 sean exitosos.

Primero, La Casa de Amor Para Niños, un orfanato en Palomas, un pequeño pueblo de aproximadamente 4,500 habitantes al lado de Columbus, N.M. que invadió Pancho Villa en marzo de 1916. Durante más que de quince años, una coalición de iglesias en Deming, Silver City, Durango, Colorado y especialmente Santa Fe ha mantenido el orfanato. Los líderes son Jim Noble, un abogado aquí en Santa Fe, su esposa, Pat y Eunice Herrera, un estudiante en una escuela de derecho y anteriormente un empleado en la oficina de Noble.

Ellos se van a Palomas cada segundo fin de semana del mes, llevando comida no solamente para el orfanato pero para todo el pueblo. Es un proceso lleno de frustraciones porque la aduana mexicana siempre está bloqueando sus esfuerzos y buscando dinero para permitir que ellos pasen.

Además, ellos tienen un programa de becas para más de cien estudiantes porque la educación pública no es gratis en México.

En fin, tienen dos fiestas enormes cada año — el Día de La Madre en mayo y antes la Navidad en diciembre. Invitan a toda la comunidad; hay música, juegos para los jóvenes y una comida preparada por Margie y Orlando Roybal de Santa Fe y sus voluntarios. Este año — el 13 de diciembre — vinieron de Casa Grandes al sur un grupo de payasos para divertir los jóvenes. También, había un Santa Claus — Randy Murray de Santa Fe. Los Nobles, Eunice, Margie, Orlando, Randy y los otros voluntarios tienen una fuerza invencible. Tienen una misión y no van parar.

Lydia Pendley y sus voluntarios de la Iglesia Episcopal de St. Bede’s han sido construyendo casas en la colonia de Anapra al lado de Juárez desde hace quince años. Es una colonia que le falta agua corriente, calles con pavimento y los más básicos servicios humanos. En medio enero 2015, Lydia y su equipo se van otra vez para dar

un poco de esperanza a una familia pobre.

“Cada casa es más provechoso tanto como desgarrador,” dice Mike Wirtz, un voluntario que ha ido a Juárez nueve veces. “Se puede ver por las caras de las familias el sentido de amor y alegría cuando les damos las llaves de su nueva casa.”

Jane Peacock, otro voluntario de Santa Fe cuenta cómo empezó este proyecto. Su madre que vivió en El Paso quería construir una casa en Juárez cuando cumplió 75 años e invitó la participación de su familia. Usando ese modelo, St. Bede’s empezó construyendo casas en el 2000. Como los líderes de La Casa de Amor, Pendley y sus voluntarios nunca paran su trabajo.

Los hermanos, Carlos y Hector Garcia nacieron en Juárez pero vinieron a Santa Fe como jóvenes y son empresarios exitosos aquí, Hector con su empresa, Aztec Upholstery y Carlos con Don Juan’s Paint and Body tanto como sus proyectos de real estate. Pero ellos han sido siempre dedicados a Juárez y pasan mucho tiempo allá. Por ejemplo, tienen un programa que se llama Amigo Fiel que construye casas, ofrece programas académicas y un orfanato para niños viviendo en la calle.

Están también encargados del programa de Operation Christmas Child para todo México.

Operation Christmas Child funciona en más de cien países mundialmente y distribuye cajas de Navidad a miles de jóvenes cada año. Cada caja contiene cosas higiénicas como cepillos y jabón tanto como juguetes.

Ellos distribuyen las cajas en Juárez, usando la ayuda de voluntarios de iglesias de todas partes de los Estados Unidos. Por ejemplo, cuando yo me fui por primera vez, había un grupo de voluntarios de Chino, Calif. La mayoría nunca habían visitado a México y para ellos fue el tipo de experiencia que cambia vidas.

Carlos y Hector han seleccionado iglesias en el resto de México y ellas distribuyen las cajas a sus miembros. Cada año hay un total de más de 700,000 cajas.

Puesto que el año 2014 está casi terminado, quiero dar gracias a los voluntarios de esas tres organizaciones y las muchas otras de Nuevo México que también trabajan en México en su lucha contra la pobreza. Y espero que 2015 sea muy exitoso para todos ellos.

Morgan Smith vive en Santa Fe y viaja a la frontera cada mes para ayudar varios programas humanitarios. Se le puede contactar a Morgan-smith@comcast.net.

l tiempo de Crismes was drawing near y Grampo Caralampio todavía hadn’t had time de ir shopping por un presente para grama. He wanted to find una cosa muy especial para grama since she had made muchos sacrificios en este año que había habido una recession.

“Yo voy a ir a la tienda más expensive in town y comprar something más nice para Grama Cuca,” grampo said to himself.

Grampo Caralampio jumped en su troca and sped away a ver qué clases de expensive trinkets podía comprarle a grama at Wal-Mart.

Parqueó su troca as Larry Torres close to the door as he Growing up could y se fue para el Spanglish service counter.

“I’m here para comprar un presente para mi honey,” he announced a voz alta. “I want to buy la cosa más expensive en toda la tienda porque I want to darle algo suave for Christmas. Money no es un object!” declaró por fin.

Right away el store manager assigned himself as his personal shopper para ayudarle a grampo since he was sure de que iba a spend muncho dinero en la tienda. Primero el store manager took grampo a ver la fancy jewelry. Grampo gazed a los diamonds en las bracelets y los rings. Hasta miró a un tray lleno de diamond and ruby studded watches a ver if he liked one of them para la grama. Pero nothing seemed right para ella.

Next el store manager took grampo a ver las refrigerators y las freezers. He explained to him de que grama could echar una vaca entera right into the freezer and that whole side of beef todavía wouldn’t fill it up.

También hizo point out los special features que tenía la refrigerator como automatic ice cube maker y un vegetable crisper muy grande.

Pero después de mirar la hielera and the freezer, grampo thought de que quizá grama no era la type to have cosas fancies como estos appliances.

Ahora el manejador de la tienda walked grampo over to the entertainment section.

Allí he led grampo in front de los flatscreen televisions para que viera qué claro estaba el retrato.

He gave el remote control a grampo para que pudiera switch a 300 channels.

Grampo se puso a monquear with the remote control pero pronto decidió de que grama no necesitaba tres cientos channels on TV because then she wouldn’t have time de trabajar en casa por estar watchando all of them.

El store manager comenzó a suspect de que grampo really no estaba en un buying mood so he walked him over para la sección de los cosmetics. He showed grampo los perfumes, los polvos and the other maquillages that grama could put on para hacerse attractive.

Again como que grampo no estaba interested in any of these cosas so the store manager llevó a grampo over to the clothing department.

En el departamento de ropa the store manager showed grampo las blusas, las faldas y las panty hoses que podía comprar para grama.

He was getting todo frustrado porque grampo estaba tomando su sweet time y todavía no había comprado anything.

Finally in desperation llevó a grampo over to the candy aisle.

Allí he showed him los chocolates, los caramelos y las tortuguitas pero grampo wasn’t interested in caramels or candy turtles. Heck, he didn’t even look a los dulces que estaban más cheapehs como los Milky Ways o los Snickers.

Finally el store manager walked grampo over para los disposable lighters y las scented candles que estaban a diez por un peso pero even these 10-for-a-dollar candles no hacían attract grampo’s attention.

Grampo then turned to the store manager y le preguntó “Do you have una cosa más cheapeh that you can show me?”

“Yes, I think que tengo just the thing,” respondió el store manager todo frustrado.

He walked a grampo pa’trás to the jewelry counter and held un mirror up to him. Grampo estaba confused hasta que el store manager explained, “If you really want to see la cosa más cheapeh in the store just look en este espejo porque you aren’t going to hallar algo cheaper than that!”

Grampo no comprendió lo que el store manager was saying pero he took el espejo and said, “Esto está perfecto; I’ll take it!” El store manager nomás hizo groan …

Keen on acting

teachers and students, even if they never reached his unlikely goal. Media fact checkers such as my colleague Glenn Kessler don’t usually critique hopeful guesses because miracles, like the collapse of the Soviet Union or my birdie on a par-5 last week, sometimes happen. I have criticized Washington, D.C., Schools Chancellor Kaya Henderson’s plan to raise achievement in the 40 lowest-performing schools by 40 percentile points in six years, but she needs that loony goal to get some of that federal money for her schools.

Everyone has been forced to play that game for many decades.

There are better ways to improve schools than turnarounds. Many charter and experimental public schools have shown it makes more sense to create new schools with no old bad practices to expunge. Students and teachers can start fresh. A 2006 NewSchools Venture Fund study cited by reform expert Andy Smarick found only four of 36 organizations with strong records in improving school achievement had expressed interest in restructuring existing schools.

KIPP, a charter school network, has produced scores of schools that outperform others with similarly disadvantaged students trying the turnaround approach. Some educators have criticized KIPP for never turning around an existing school, which to me is like criticizing quarterback Peyton Manning for almost never using a huddle in his successful speeded-up offense. If new ways work better, why insist on the old?

New Mexico School for the Arts student named a YoungArts Finalist

asper Keen’s hair looked like a small, out-of-control wildfire on a recent December morning. His smile — a constant fixture — reminds one of a perpetually happy Warner Bros. cartoon character. A slight, limber guy — Keen claims that when people hug him, they can actually clasp their arms behind his back — he was proudly wearing a YoungArts T-shirt despite the morning chill.

The attire was appropriate given Keen has been selected as a 2015 YoungArts Finalist by the National YoungArts Foundation, which spotlights teen artists ages 15 to 18 in various fields, including theater. Since its establishment in 1981, it has honored more than 20,000 young artists with over $6 million in monetary awards and helped facilitate over $150 million in college scholarships. Notable YoungArts alumni include actresses Viola Davis and Anna Gunn, recording artists Judith Hill and Chris Young, and novelist Sam Lipsyte.

Keen, a junior studying theater at the New Mexico School for the Arts, auditioned for the YoungArts honor with two videotaped monologues. The first, from Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors, allowed him to display his physical and vocal comedy skills, while the second, from Elizabeth Swados’ dramatic musical Runaways, allowed him to showcase his serious side. In January, he flies to Miami with other YoungArts finalists for an all-expenses-paid trip to take master classes with renowned theater professionals and work on his monologues.

Not bad for a kid who started his acting career shadowing an actress playing Caliban in a 2010 Theaterwork production of The Tempest. He’s performed in about 20 theater shows, from

y perfect morning began at De Vargas Middle School, a public school for which I pay with my taxes. What a delight it was to see the principal, Marc Ducharme, outside the school entrance greeting students. He seemed to have something personal to say to each student. I had arrived as a volunteer for New Mexicans for Gun Safety to help launch the Student Pledge against gun violence.

As I arrived, so did Dr. Joel Boyd, MY VIEW superintendent of schools, riding a school bus. He had spent the early K. ELISE PACKARD morning experiencing how many of the students get to school, calling attention to the need for motorists to respect rules that help ensure the safety of students boarding and exiting school buses. I was grateful that my tax dollars make possible both transportation for schoolchildren and a superintendent who goes the extra mile.

Soon Mayor Javier Gonzales, police Chief Eric Garcia and school board President Steve Carrillo arrived.

All were there together to encourage the students to solve their problems without the use of guns and violence.

Dr. Boyd made it clear that the decision to sign the pledge was up to each student. It was a privilege for me as a citizen volunteer to work alongside Theresa Baca, who heads the student wellness department of our public schools. The gathered group provided a variety of role models for the students, and as the students stepped up, each was a role model for me.

I volunteer with the Interfaith Coalition for Public Education, and in our action, we encourage the alignment of not-for-profit, private sector and city resources to provide excellent schools for all of our students. On this morning, in this public school, in our city, I experienced payback for my volunteer efforts and my tax dollars.

Aligned action for the common good is priceless.

This action and the students’ courage made possible for me a perfect morning.

“Being an actor teaches you a lot about what it means to be a person,” he said during an interview at the school on the last day of class before winter break. “It teaches you empathy; you can see where your characters come from.” Acting, he said, allows him to play a lot of different roles and be a bad guy. “If I weren’t an actor, I’d have to try everything … except heroin.” He likened acting to “legalized crime.”

As it is, he considered a career as a con man. “That’s the same thing as being an actor,” said Keen’s theater director, Joey

Chavez, who sat in on the interview. He praised Keen’s work ethic and sense of humor and called him very “directable.” He said the YoungArts recognition will help Keen when it comes to applying to acting conservatories and colleges. “They recognize the dedication and hard work you put into it just to get it right.

And you gotta have talent, too,” he said. Chavez encouraged Keen to audition for YoungArts and directed his videotaped monologues.

Keen was home-schooled until he entered the state-chartered New Mexico School for the Arts as a freshman 2½ years ago. That early education included walking the beaches of Hawaii while spouting snippets of Plato’s phi-

losophy, he said. He loves to surf.

“Thousands of pounds of ocean around you, and if you mess up, you hit lava,” he said.

He plans to make a career out of acting. To him, success means being one of those performers you see in character roles on stage and on TV without knowing their names. “They take on their roles so well that the public and press don’t recognize them,” he said. “They just think, ‘He’s doing his job. He’s a working actor.’ ” Santa Fe University of Art and Design student Cabria Scott, a Houston native, was also named a YoungArts finalist, in singing.

We are fortunate to have a beautiful, remodeled school to attend with an amazing library, bright cafeteria, top-notch gymnasium and most importantly, fantastic educators. A particular shoutout goes to the music curriculum where all students are able to experience choir, band, string orchestra and piano.

I was surprised to see our daughter come home with a brand-new violin and then a clarinet, each provided for a quarter to see if orchestra or band were the right fit. Instruments are provided to all students, and each child has a chance to explore if he or she likes band, orchestra or choir.

After her exposure to both, she ended up focusing on her singing voice in choir. Now, in addition to choir as a seventh-grader, she has almost an hour of piano every day. In a short time, she has learned to play amazingly well. I have friends with children in private schools that can’t rival what the Santa Fe Public Schools system has to offer.

Ringside: Landlord issues eviction notice Continued from Page A-1 charges on top of that — the rent someday would imperil the cafe at 132 W. Water St., Berardinelli said.

“It’s a formula for going out of business,” he said.

So he set out to help the cafe owners by negotiating a new, more reasonable rate that would help solidify the business for years to come.

Digging into the details of lease, Berardinelli found it “disjointed, incomplete and selfcontradictory.” In addition to the rent, the cafe owners were being billed for maintenance of common areas, hefty charges that Berardinelli says were without “any justifiable foundation.”

And so it was that the Coyote Cafe, versed in fine food but not fine print, began questioning the rates and fees imposed by the building owner, an Illinois-based entity called Water Street LLC. The restaurant owners said one of the landlords, Tony Fox, gave them verbal notice of eviction after that. Berardinelli intervened. He proposed mediation to avoid what he called the lose-lose prospect of a famous restaurant being displaced and a landlord forcing out a tenant that anchors the Water Street commercial corridor.

After the mediation and more negotiating with the building owners, Berardinelli had the Coyote’s rent down to $14,500 a month by the fall of 2013.

A few years at that level, Berardinelli reasoned, could solidify the restaurant’s future and ultimately make more money for everyone — the building owners, the cafe proprietors and other businesses on Water Street that benefit by

the presence of a destination eatery.

But the confrontation would only get uglier as debate over what was fair and what was being charged dragged on.

Two months ago, the cafe’s shareholders, DiStefano, Tori Mendes and Quinn Stephenson, sued Water Street LLC. The restaurateurs began paying their monthly rent into an escrow account instead of to the landlord, claiming they had been victims of a civil conspiracy and had been fraudulently charged huge sums.

The pleadings and allegations are long and technical.

Berardinelli, though, summed up his case in a sentence.

“I hate this whole idea that greed is good,” he said, referencing the term that many embraced after it was used in

the 1987 movie Wall Street.

He said a negotiated agreement would still be best for everyone, but now this is a courtroom fight.

Water Street LLC last week sent the restaurant owners a notice of eviction. It says the Coyote Cafe owes more than $468,000 in past-due rent through Nov. 30. It claims that another $41,911 came due Dec. 1. That amount invokes the old rental rate, plus ancillary charges.

Charles Hughson, a lawyer in Albuquerque who represents the building owners, said he could not comment unless his clients decided they had something to say publicly. They didn’t.

As for Berardinelli, he plans this week to file for a court order to restrain the building

owners from trying to evict the Coyote Cafe and holding a foreclosure sale.

DiStefano says the restaurant won’t miss a beat or a meal as the legal fight progresses.

His upscale business operates in what used to be a bus station. The arrival of the Coyote Cafe strengthened the downtown district as the restaurant established a national reputation.

It’s Christmastime, but Berardinelli says the season has soured. In his view, the men in Illinois don’t care about Water Street or Santa Fe or the possibility of making a fragile local economy even worse.

We have consumer experience goals, that they get answers to their questions about insurance, that we’re making information available in a clear way, that we’re expanding our agent and broker community.”

She said the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange Board plans to refine its goals in January, and an enrollment target could come from that discussion.

New Mexico’s exchange based its goals for the first open-enrollment period on projections from the Congressional Budget Office, according to Dr. Martin Hickey, a member of the board that oversees the exchange.

“The Congressional Budget Office isn’t always right,” Hickey said. “The Congressional Budget Office is learning its [enrollment] forecasts for some states were way over, and some states were way under. We’re all learning the factors that influence people’s minds.”

Analysis of surveys following the first round of enrollment is helping decision-makers at the New Mexico exchange to zero in on why people enroll in health care plans — or don’t.

For instance, Dowd said public awareness about what the exchange does was lower than hoped, and confusion about how it works was higher than its organizers would have liked.

“We know from research that there’s a great distrust of the insurance companies in New Mexico, and we have to overcome that,” Hickey said. “We also have to educate people as to how large and beneficial the [premium] subsidies are, particularly for people of lower income. Once we learn how to do that, I think we’ll see substantially greater

membership in New Mexico, but that will take time. It won’t happen this year.”

It’s too soon to tell whether the exchange is making progress overcoming those barriers to enrollment. The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has not shared enrollment numbers in New Mexico with the exchange yet for the current open-enrollment period that began Nov. 15, Dowd said.

“We do have strong indication from our enrollment counselors and our agent and broker activities that we are very pleased with the interest and the engagement levels so far,” Dowd said.

“Our call center volumes are strong, and that’s an indication that people are looking for health insurance and looking for assistance.”

She expects the first enrollment report for this period to come from the federal government late this month or in early January.

While enrollment through the exchange has fallen short of expectations, the opposite has been true of

sons, and so helping those who already live here would be a big help to the industry.

“Santa Fe doesn’t have a large labor force to begin with,” Gammon said. “When things were booming and there was plenty of work, you’d have a more stable labor force. People knew they could come here and there would be work for the next three years.”

And with fewer young people in New Mexico, there aren’t as many new workers who want to step up to learn the building trades.

“We don’t want our workers deported, that’s the bottom line,” Shanahan said.

Obama expressed sympathy for Sony, but he told Candy Crowley of CNN that he did not consider the cyberattack to be an act of war. The studio decided to cancel its December premiere of The Interview after hackers’ threatened attacks on theaters if they showed the comedy.

“I think it was an act of cybervandalism that was very costly, very expensive,” Obama said. “We take it very seriously.”

The North Korean government has insisted it was not involved in the attack and in a message on the state-run news service Pyongyang warned of “serious consequences” if the United States retaliated.

Republicans pushed back at Obama’s characterization of the attack as only cybervandalism.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told CNN that the president

“does not understand that this is a new — this is a manifestation of a new form of warfare,” and he proposed reimposing sanctions that were lifted during the Bush administration.

The tension with the North Korean government has escalated as Obama has moved toward normalizing relations with Cuba.

“For 50 years we’ve tried to see if we can overthrow the regime through isolation,” Obama told CNN.

COMMENTARY: VIVEK WADHWA

Tech disruption just beginning C

hanges in technology are happening at a scale that was unimaginable before and will cause disruption in industry after industry. This has really begun to worry me, because we are not ready for this change, and most of our leading companies won’t exist 15 to 20 years from now. Here are five sectors to keep an eye on: Let’s start with manufacturing: Robotics and 3-D printing have made it cheaper to manufacture in the United States and Europe than in China. Robots such as Baxter, from Rethink Robotics, and UR10, from Universal Robots, have arms; screens that show you their emotions; and sensors that detect what is happening around them. The cost of operating these is less than the cost of human labor.

We can now have robots working 24-7 and doing some of the work of humans.

Over time, these robots will become ever more sophisticated and do most human jobs. The manufacturing industry is surely going to be disrupted in a very big way.

This is good news for America, Europe and parts of Asia, because it will become a local industry. But this will be bad for the Chinese economy — which is largely dependent on manufacturing jobs.

The reinvention of finance: We are already witnessing a controversy over Bitcoin. Many technology and retail companies are supporting it. Crowdfunding is shaking up the venture-capital industry and making it less relevant because it provides startups with an alternative for raising seed capital. We will soon be able to crowdfund loans for houses, cars and other goods. With cardless transactions for purchasing goods, we won’t need the types of physical banks and financial institutions that we presently have.

Health care: Apple recently announced Healthkit, its platform for health information. It wants to store data from the wearable sensors that will soon be monitoring our blood pressure, blood oxygenation, heart rhythms, temperature, activity levels and other symptoms. Google, Microsoft and Samsung will surely not be left behind and will all compete to provide the best health data platforms. With these data, they will be able to warn us when we are about to get sick. Artificial intelligencebased physicians will advise us on what we need to do to get healthy.

Medical-test data, especially in fields such as oncology, are often so complex that human doctors cannot understand them. This will become even more difficult when they have genomics data to correlate. Over the last 15 years, the cost of human genome sequencing has dropped from the billions to about a thousand dollars. At the rate at which prices are dropping, the cost of

OUR VIEW

Celebrate a season of hope

T sequencing will be close to zero in a few years and we will all have our genomes sequenced. When you combine these data with the medical-sensor data that the tech companies are collecting on their cloud platforms, we will have a medical revolution.

Energy industry: Five years ago, we were worried about America running out of oil; today we’re talking about Saudi America — because of fracking.

Yes, fracking is a harmful technology; nevertheless, it has allowed America to become energy independent and will soon make it an energy exporter. And then there is solar energy, which some people have become negative about.

But it is a fact solar prices have dropped about 97 percent over the past 35 years, and, at the rate at which solar is advancing, by the end of this decade we will achieve grid parity across the United States. Grid parity means it’s cheaper to produce energy at home on your solar cells than to buy it from utilities. Move forward another 10 or 20 years, and it will costs a fraction as much to produce your own energy as to buy it from the grid.

This means that the utility companies will be in serious trouble. This is why they are beginning to fight the introduction of solar.

When we have unlimited energy, we can have unlimited clean water, because we can simply boil as much ocean water as we want. We can afford to grow food locally in vertical farms. This can be

100 percent organic, because we won’t need insecticides in the sealed farm buildings.

Communications: Yes, even this industry will be disrupted. Note how AT&T, Verizon and Sprint have seen their land-line businesses disappear. These were replaced by mobile — which is now being replaced by data. When I travel abroad, I don’t make long-distance calls any more because I just call over Skype.

In practically every industry that I look at, I see a major disruption happening. I know the world will be very different 15 to 20 years from now. The vast majority of companies that are presently the leaders in their industries will likely not even exist. That is because industry executives either are not aware of the changes that are coming, are reluctant to invest the type of money that is be required for them to reinvent themselves, or are protecting legacy businesses. Most are focused on short-term performance.

New trillion-dollar industries will come out of nowhere and wipe out existing trillion-dollar industries. This is the future we’re headed into, for better or for worse.

This article, for The Washington Post’s Innovations site, reflects his opinion.

he Christmas holiday has its own special magic in Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.

Here, there is no need to fight a fake “War on Christmas” over what to emphasize in the modern holiday. Here, believers keep Christ in their celebrations, through re-enactments of Mary and Joseph’s journey seeking shelter, reverent Christmas Eve Masses and dances at Indian pueblos. Here, those who don’t share those beliefs still can appreciate the beauty of the various holiday goingson. There is tolerance, acceptance and understanding.

There remains room for shopping, presents and the commercial hullabaloo of an American holiday, but for those who take the time, there also is a stillness in the air. If you are a longtime resident of the area, you understand. If you are visiting this week, take time to participate in one of the unique cultural traditions that makes a Northern New Mexico holiday special.

In Santa Fe, of course, the beloved Christmas Eve walk through the Canyon Road neighborhoods is a touchstone that people return to year after year. Neighbors come together, singing Christmas songs and wishing each other well. It is a neighborhood gathering, and visitors should respect the tradition as they walk through the chill of evening. Generous souls will share hot chocolate, or perhaps a bowl of posole with passers-by.

The sight of candles shining through paper bags, lighting the way for the Christ child, spreads a warm glow into the dark skies. The walk will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and visitors should remember that no vehicle traffic is allowed.

Various pueblos also have ceremonies on Christmas Eve. There can be bonfires and processions, or solemn dances in churches, with more dancing on Christmas Day. The holiday becomes less about presents and more about the need to find light in the darkness. We are united by our common need to look for the brighter days ahead.

Along U.S. 84/285 through Velarde, neighbors often place farolitos, the little bags with lights, along the highway, a ribbon of light. In Madrid, the old mining town, electric Christmas lights hearken back to the days when planes would take a detour so passengers could see the lights below. The menorah shines on the Santa Fe Plaza, reminding us once more of the rich tapestry of beliefs in our small corner of the world.

Light is everywhere, a testament to faith and hope.

PNM doesn’t put climate protection first

I

am deeply concerned by the “climate protection action plan” proposed by City Councilor Patti Bushee and supported by Councilors Signe Lindell and Ron Trujillo (“Councilor introduces competing climate plan resolution,” Dec. 11).

Rather than collaborating with the Climate Action Task Force, they are circumventing those efforts and instead creating an alliance with Public Service Company of New Mexico and New Mexico Gas Co. Including PNM and New Mexico Gas as players in the citizen planning process would clearly sabotage efforts to create a municipal utility and would commit us to corporate energy for perpetuity.

PNM and New Mexico Gas are not members of our community, and their interests are not those of ours. A company (PNM) that plans to purchase a coal mine and find solar producers to finance it should not be invited to discuss how

to best provide a sustainable, affordable and zero-carbon energy future.

I ask the sponsoring councilors to withdraw the resolution and put efforts into ensuring the success of the Climate Action Task Force for the sake the environment and our community.

Criminal corruption Our country must prosecute Jamie Dimon and members of Congress for criminal corruption. As we have all recognized, we are living in the most corrupt phase of “our” American government. The sneaky tactics of both sides have placed politics ahead of their service to the citizens of this country. We need justice from top to bottom. Until the American citizen sees justice in the form of prosecutions, this corruption will boil into

a state of division and more politics. We need leaders, not politicians.

Investigate torture Sen. Martin Heinrich’s column (“U.S. must never again torture,” Commentary, Dec. 14) is good as far as it goes. It defends the release of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s study of the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation program.” He suggests the “decision to use these techniques was the work of a small number of people.” I doubt this conclusion. After all, former Vice President Dick Cheney has defended the use of harsh interrogation tactics right up until Sunday, Dec. 15, on Fox News. The U.N. has called these acts violations of the Convention Against Torture — signed and ratified by the U.S. and 190 other nations.

We are required under the treaty to investigate charges of torture and, if proved, they would be deemed criminal acts. Lately, we seem to enforce our laws, treaties and even constitutional principles selectively. How do we teach this in our public schools?

Are we a moral beacon to the world or a rogue nation?

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 22, 1914: Socorro — Evidently, the usual streak of superstition was missing in both Reyes Quesada and Jorge Rodriguez, now in the county jail here, as they stole 13 hats and 13 pairs of shoes from a Santa Fe freight car that they opened at San Antonio.

However, the bad luck that is supposed to attach to the number “13” overtook them at San Marcial, where they arrived wearing and carrying their loot. They will be held here to await the action of the next grand jury.

Dec. 22, 1964: In a probably unprecedented action, the state Board of Probation and parole will rescind paroles granted to four Santa Fe marijuana offenders on grounds they were illegally granted because the four had not served their mandatory minimum sentences.

One hundred mile an hour winds roared through Colorado today and caused extensive, but undetermined, damage to the university city of Boulder. The gale-force winds blew off roofs, destroyed fences and knocked out power lines for several hours. One wall of the University of Colorado cyclotron building was blown down.

Dec. 22, 1989: The federal government was warned before 1950 that thousands of workers at nuclear weapons plants were being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation, but decided against telling them of the risks, according to a congressional staff report made public Monday. The report shows that the Atomic Energy Commission, the precursor to the Department of Energy which ran the bomb factories until 1975, received clear warnings that workers were being exposed to the risk of cancer. Officers of the Energy Department ... have asserted that the risks were not understood at that time. Estimated cost of cleaning up four decades of pollution at the 17 plants has been put at more than $100 billion.

NEW YORK — Tom Brokaw says his cancer is in remission.

The veteran NBC newsman announced Sunday that, after months of chemotherapy, he soon will begin a drug maintenance program.

Sharing with colleagues what he called “very encouraging news,” Brokaw’s internal memo noted that a year ago his future was “more uncertain than I cared to acknowledge.”

Last February, he revealed that he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

Now on to the ceremony!” they wrote.

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — California’s Department of Motor Vehicles will miss a year-end deadline to adopt new rules for cars of the future because regulators first have to figure out how they’ll know whether “driverless” vehicles are safe.

It’s a rare case of the law getting ahead of an emerging technology and reflects regulators’ struggle to balance consumer protection with innovation.

Safety is a chief selling point, since self-driving cars — thanks to an array of sensors — promise to have much greater road awareness and quicker reaction time than people. Plus, they won’t text, drink or doze off.

Though the cars are at least a few years away from showrooms, seven companies are testing prototypes on California’s roads, and regulators have questions: Do they obey all traffic laws? What if their computers freeze? Can they smoothly hand control back to human drivers?

DMV officials say they won’t let the public get selfdriving cars until someone can certify that they don’t pose an undue risk. The problem is that the technology remains so new there are no accepted standards to verify its safety.

Absent standards, certifying safety would be like grading a test without an answer key.

Broadly, the department has three options: It could follow the current U.S. system, in which manufacturers selfcertify their vehicles; it could opt for a European system, in which independent companies verify safety; or the state could (implausibly) get into the testing business.

“It’s a huge undertaking,” said Bernard Soriano, who oversees the DMV’s regulatory process. “There are all of these issues that need to be adequately answered.”

Manufacturers generally would prefer self-certification.

That may be where California ends up, but for now the DMV is exploring independent certification — something that doesn’t exist for driverless cars.

In July, the DMV asked third-party testers whether they’d be interested in getting into the game. The department doesn’t have the expertise to create a safety standard and testing framework, so “the department wanted to get a very good sense of what is out there in the market,” according to Russia Chavis, a deputy secretary at the California State Transportation Agency, which oversees the DMV and

requested a deeper exploration of third-party alternatives to self-certification.

Two large European testers and two businesses in Ohio responded to the DMV’s request. None was ready to implement a program immediately.

So the department is asking industry, consumer groups and other interested parties to gather in January for a public workshop on safety standards.

Whatever course California officials take could influence how other states — and perhaps even the federal government — approach the issue. California is such a large consumer market that in many cases its rules become de facto national standards.

Federal transportation officials have said they don’t plan to write driverless car safety standards any time soon, and they don’t want states writing their own. SAE International, an association of engineers, has been developing a set of safety guidelines — but those are for vehicle testing and don’t get into specific performance levels that would be needed for commercially available cars.

California’s Jan. 1 deadline was set by a 2012 state law that regulated testing on public roads and required the DMV to publish rules guiding what carmakers need to do before they can bring the vehicles to market. The law also says the DMV should encourage the development of driverless cars.

Regulations often lag cutting-edge technology, but California’s driverless car policy has developed sooner because of lobbying from one of the state’s signature companies: Google.

Self-driving vehicles are a departure from the Silicon Valley giant’s Internet search and advertising core, but a priority for co-founder Sergey Brin.

Even before Google pushed the 2012 law that officially legalized driverless technology, the Silicon Valley giant had dispatched its cars hundreds of thousands of miles.

Google says its Toyota Priuses and Lexus SUVs, souped up with radar, cameras and laser sensors, have an excellent safety record. They have been involved in just a “few” accidents, though not at fault in any of them, spokeswoman Courtney Hohne said.

Google has its own idea for how to determine whether vehicles are safe.

At a March hearing on DMV regulations, Ron Medford, the company’s driverless car safety director and a former federal transportation official, suggested the department do road testing.

“I would be cautious,” he said, “not to make some of these things more complicated than they are.”

Once in each half, he showed his basketball IQ by settling for open jumpers — one from 15 feet in the first half, the other from beyond the arc in the game’s final minute — when he may have otherwise passed it off or elected to drive into traffic.

He nailed both jumpers and, in so doing, further cemented his place atop UNM’s choice of weapons.

NFC EAST CHAMPIONS

How ’bout them Cowboys?

Dallas clinches division, ends 4-year playoff drought with 42-7 blowout of Colts

Top job after game most likely not going to them

By Eric Olson The Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. — Barney Cotton choked up as he described the challenges that come with serving as Nebraska’s interim head coach.

He wants to accomplish what is clearly hard to do — maintain a business-as-usual atmosphere following Bo Pelini’s firing. He promises to make sure the players have the best experience possible at the Holiday Bowl.

Yet, he still feels the punch in the gut from Pelini’s firing and sadness for Dave assistant coaches Baldwin who don’t know what the future holds after new coach Mike Riley takes full control following the Dec. 27 game against Southern California.

“Little by little, guys are being Barney given notices that Cotton this spot will be filled by someone else and that spot will be filled by someone else,” Cotton said. “Those are the hardest things. You’re talking wives and kids and moving and new schools and all that. That really tugs at you. I wish I could make it all go away, but obviously that’s not the reality we live in.”

Cotton is among five interim coaches who will be in charge of teams this bowl season. The others are Dave Baldwin at Colorado State, David Gibbs at Houston, Joe Rudolph at Pittsburgh and D.J. Durkin at Florida.

Cotton already has landed his next job as offensive coordinator at UNLV. Baldwin is a candidate to replace Jim McElwain as the Rams’ head coach. Gibbs hopes to stay on as defensive coordinator for Tom Herman. Rudolph might join the staff of former Pitt coach Paul Chryst at Wisconsin. Durkin has been connected to several defensive coordinator jobs since finding out this week he wouldn’t be retained by McElwain, Florida’s new coach.

The interim jobs might be more challenging for Baldwin and Rudolph, whose bosses were not fired but instead left for better jobs.

“It’s a process that goes through the mind right now,” Baldwin said before Saturday’s bowl game with Utah State. “You’re 10-2, yet you’re not sure if you’ll be employed at all next year. There’s limbo, but we accept that in this profession. If you’re worried about it, you shouldn’t have gotten into this profession.”

The bowl games amount to auditions for soon-to-be unemployed coaches, said Gibbs, who’ll be across the field from Rudolph when Hous-

CINCINNATI — After a couple of subpar games, Peyton Manning has a perfect chance to regain his touch and get ready for the playoffs.

And earn some time off, too.

It’s his pedigree. Whenever he plays Cincinnati, he becomes Perfect Peyton.

Manning takes an 8-0 mark against the Bengals into their Monday night game at Paul Brown Stadium, where

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Richard Olmsted, rolmsted@sfnewmexican.com

he won as recently as two years ago.

And it’s not just how often he’s won, but how he’s done it.

Manning has thrown 20 touchdown passes and only five interceptions against Cincinnati (9-4-1). He’s thrown at least three touchdown passes in five of the eight games. His career passer rating against the Bengals is 106.8.

Yep. He’s basically owned the Bengals. And a few other teams, too.

“He’s one of those guys that’s been around it his whole life and breathed it, ate it and slept it,” Bengals defensive end Wallace Gilberry said. “So you’re getting the best.”

The Broncos (11-3) have handled the Bengals regardless who was the quarterback, winning the past four in their series. And they’ll have them right where they want them this time: Playing in prime time.

Cincinnati has played its worst games under the brightest lights.

They’ve lost in the first round of the playoffs each of the past three seasons. They’re 18-41 all-time in night

NFL ROUNDUP

Northern New Mexico

Falcons beat Saints; playoffs in sight SCOREBOARD Call near end zone knocks New Orleans out of postseason

Local results and schedules ON THE AIR

Today on TV

The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — As Jimmy Graham came down with a catch over the middle with his feet Falcons 30 just short of the goal line, Saints 14 the star tight end began writhing in an effort to find just enough leverage to force his way through two Atlanta defenders and into the end zone.

Short of using the type of goal-line technology employed in certain soccer and tennis matches, it may be tough to know if Graham did enough to score before safety Kemal Ishmael ripped the ball loose and made a momentum-swinging fumble recovery. And regardless of how long debate rages, it won’t change the fact that New Orleans lost the game, 30-14, and was eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday.

“Did I think it was a score?

Yes,” Saints coach Sean Payton said. “It looked pretty clear and yet — look — it is what it is, right? … It’s disappointing.”

Atlanta (6-9) next meets Carolina (6-8-1) for the NFC South title next week in the Georgia Dome. The Saints (6-9) are left with an anticlimactic visit to Tampa Bay after losing five straight at home in one season for the first time since the 1980 1-15 team.

Graham’s forward progress appeared to have been stopped by safety Dezmen Southward and Ishmael before the ball came loose, but that was not reviewable.

One replay angle showed that the ball may have broken the plane of the goal line, and the Superdome crowd roared when it was shown on large video boards. However, referee John Parry could not find evidence conclusive enough to overturn the call. Parry’s announcement spawned a cascade of boos from anxious Saints fans, whose team remained down 20-7 with its playoff hopes fading.

“There was nothing clear and undisputable to make a change to the ruling from the field,” Parry said.

STEELERS 20, CHIEFS 12 In Pittsburgh, Ben Roethlisberger passed for 220 yards and a touchdown, Le’Veon Bell added a score and the Steelers locked up a postseason berth.

Pittsburgh (10-5) faces Cincinnati next week for the AFC North title. Either way, the Steelers will be playing January football for the first time since Tim Tebow and Denver stunned the defending AFC champions in the wild-card round three years ago.

Antonio Brown caught seven

passes and a touchdown for Pittsburgh, which has won seven of nine.

Kansas City’s Alex Smith passed for a season-high 311 yards but was sacked six times. The Chiefs (8-7) have lost four of five and need to beat San Diego next Sunday and receive plenty of help to make it back to the playoffs for a second straight year under coach Andy Reid.

PANTHERS 17, BROWNS 13 In Charlotte, N.C., Cam Newton threw for one touchdown and ran for another as Carolina (6-81) took over sole possession of first place in the NFC South.

The victory sets up the winnertake-all showdown next Sunday at Atlanta.

The winner will join the 2010 Seattle Seahawks as the only teams in NFL history to reach the postseason in a nonstrike-shortened season with a losing record.

Newton threw for 201 yards and ran for 63 yards just 12 days after the quarterback suffered two fractures in his lower back following an automobile accident. Jonathan Stewart ran for 122 yards and caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Newton.

Johnny Manziel made his second NFL start for Cleveland (7-8) but left with 1:49 remaining in the first half with a hamstring injury and did not return.

PACKERS 20, BUCCANEERS 3 In Tampa, Fla., Aaron Rodgers threw for 318 yards and one touchdown to help the Packers clinch a wild-card playoff berth.

Eddie Lacy scored on a 44-yard run, Jordy Nelson caught a 1-yard TD pass in the fourth quarter and had nine receptions for 113 yards, while Randall Cobb finished with 11 catches for 131 yards.

A 21-13 loss to Buffalo a week ago cost Green Bay (11-4) sole possession of first place in the division. It also hurt its chances for earning home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Green Bay closes the regular season at home against Detroit, and a victory will give the Packers another NFC North crown.

The Bucs (2-13) have lost five straight and remain in contention for the first overall pick in the 2015 draft.

PATRIOTS 17, JETS 16 In East Rutherford, N.J., Jonas Gray scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter after the Patriots intercepted Geno Smith, and New England clinched a first-round playoff bye.

Tom Brady threw a 3-yard TD pass to Rob Gronkowski for the Patriots (12-3), who could earn home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs if Denver loses at Cincinnati on Monday night.

With the Jets (3-12) leading 13-10 late in the third quarter, Smith’s pass for Jace Amaro hung in the air for an easy interception by Jamie Collins — and led to Gray’s score minutes later.

Nick Folk’s 52-yard field goal attempt could have given New York a lead with just over five minutes left, but it appeared to be partially blocked and fell short. Brady and the Patriots then ran out the clock.

LIONS 20, BEARS 14 In Chicago, Joique Bell scored the go-ahead touchdown on a sweet run in the fourth quarter, and Ndamukong Suh had two sacks.

Calvin Johnson added six catches for 103 yards for Detroit (11-4), which came away with a narrow victory over a struggling team after locking up its second trip to the postseason in 15 years. The Bears (5-10) benched quarterback Jay Cutler this week in favor of the undistinguished Clausen.

The Lions secured a playoff spot with Philadelphia’s loss to Washington on Saturday. They were hoping to lock up their first division championship since 1993. But because the Packers beat Tampa Bay, the NFC North race will come down to next week’s game at Green Bay. TEXANS 25, RAVENS 13 In Houston, Running back Arian Foster threw a touchdown pass, Randy Bullock made a franchise-record six field goals and Houston’s defense dominated to keep slim playoff hopes alive.

The Ravens (9-6) now need some help next week to get into the postseason after Joe Flacco threw a season-high three interceptions and the offense struggled all day.

Houston (8-7) remains in the

hunt with the victory, but needs several teams to lose next week.

With three quarterbacks hurt, the Texans started Case Keenum, who got his first win in nine NFL starts.

Foster ran for 96 yards. But his highlight came when he took a pitch from Keenum and, with a defender in his face, threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Fiedorowicz to make it 16-0 in the second quarter.

RAIDERS 26, BILLS 24 In Oakland, Calif., Derek Carr threw two touchdown passes and Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals to help the Raiders knock the Bills from playoff contention.

The Bills (8-7) needed to win their final two games and get some help to end the NFL’s longest active playoff drought at 14 seasons. But they failed at the easiest part, beating the lowly Raiders (3-12), and will miss the playoffs for a 15th straight season.

Oakland has the second-longest active postseason drought at 12 year.

DOLPHINS 37, VIKINGS 35 In Miami Gardens, Fla., Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, buoyed by a thrilling comeback win, said Joe Philbin will return as coach next season.

Ross made his announcement in the locker room shortly after the Dolphins won on a safety.

Rookie Terrence Fede blocked a punt for a safety with 41 seconds left, and Ryan Tannehill threw four touchdown passes.

The Dolphins overcame a 14-0 deficit to take the lead, but trailed again after giving up 15 points in an 11-second span in the fourth quarter.

RAMS 37, GIANTS 27 In St. Louis, Odell Beckham Jr. caught two touchdown passes and rolled up 148 yards receiving against a defense that hadn’t allowed a TD in three straight games.

Beckham set a franchise rookie record with his 10th and 11th TD catches, shattered another rookie mark for receptions and topped 1,000 yards while shrugging off a pair of late hits in the second quarter.

The second led to a brawl and three ejections, none of them to starters.

NBA ROUNDUP

LeBron, Cavs handle Grizzlies, 105-91 The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — LeBron James had 25 points and 11 assists, Dion Waiters scored 13 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and the Cleveland Cavaliers handled one of the Western Conference’s best teams, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 105-91 on Sunday.

James scored 16 points in the second half and the Cavs shot a season-best 61 percent from the field to improve to 3-6 against West teams. Anderson Varejao added 18 points and Kyrie Irving had 17 points and 12 assists for the Cavs, who are 11-3 since their sluggish 5-7 start.

Cleveland, which has won eight of nine at home, is 9-2 when James has at least nine assists.

Marc Gasol had 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who played without forward Zach Randolph. He’s nursing a sore and swollen right knee he injured Friday night in a loss at Chicago.

KINGS 108, LAKERS 101 In Sacramento, Calif., DeMarcus Cousins had 29 points and 14 rebounds in his second start since returning from a serious illness, and Sacramento beat Los Angeles to snap a five-game losing streak.

Rudy Gay scored 24 points, and Ben McLemore added 23 points and eight rebounds to help the Kings pull away late.

Sacramento had lost 10 of 12 games — going 2-8 while Cousins recovered from viral meningitis — and fired coach Michael Malone last week.

Tyrone Corbin won for the first time in three games as Sacramento’s interim coach.

PELICANS 101, THUNDER 99 In Oklahoma City, Anthony Davis scored 38 points to lead New Orleans past Oklahoma City.

It was the third-highest point total of Davis’ career. He made 16 of 22 shots and had 12 rebounds.

Jrue Holiday had 11 points and matched a career high with 15 assists for the Pelicans.

SUNS 104, WIZARDS 92 In Washington, Eric Bledsoe and Markieff Morris each scored 17 points, Goran Dragic added 16 and Phoenix beat Washington to end the Wizards’ winning streak at six.

The Suns finished 3-0 on their trip after losing six in a row.

They opened the road swing in Charlotte on Wednesday night and beat New York on Saturday.

Rasual Butler led the Wizards with 17 points, and Kevin Seraphin had a seasonhigh 16.

RAPTORS 118, KNICKS 108 In Toronto, Lou Williams and Kyle Lowry each scored 22 points, and Toronto Raptors beat New York for its sixth consecutive win.

Greivis Vasquez had 21 points and Terrence Ross added 18 for the Raptors, who never trailed in matching their longest winning streak of the season. Toronto also won six straight from Nov. 15-26.

Carmelo Anthony scored 28 points for New York.

HEAT 100, CELTICS 84 In Miami, Luol Deng had 23 points, James Ennis scored 10 of his 16 in the fourth quarter and Miami beat Boston end five-game home losing streak.

It was the first time in 154 games that

Miami didn’t have any of its former Big Three — Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh or LeBron James.

PACERS 100, TIMBERWOLVES 96 In Minneapolis, C.J. Miles scored 28 points and David West bulled his way to the basket for two big points with 34 seconds to play to help Indiana hold off Minnesota.

Miles hit 10 of 18 shots and Roy Hibbert had 15 points, eight rebounds and four blocks for the Pacers, who got 48 points from their bench. They shot a season-high 50 percent from the field on the second night of a back-to-back and forced 16 turnovers to win for just the second time this month.

Mo Williams had 24 points and 10 assists for the Timberwolves.

76ERS 96, MAGIC 88 In Orlando, Fla., Michael Carter-Williams scored 21 points and Philadelphia rallied in the second half to beat Orlando for its third victory of the season.

The 76ers ended a five-game losing streak. All three of their victories have come on the road.

Victor Oladipo had 23 points for the Magic.

NETS 110, PISTONS 105 In New York, Mason Plumlee scored 10 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter and had 12 rebounds in Brooklyn’s victory over Detroit.

Joe Johnson added 16 points, including four free throws in the final 12 seconds.

Coaches: Careers, families impacted Continued from Page B-1 ton plays Pitt in the Armed Forces Bowl on Jan. 2.

“If you’re good at your job,” Gibbs said, “you realize that if you go out there and coach your butt off and your kids play hard and play good, you have a better chance of getting a job than if your kids go out there and lay down and get beat up on national television.”

Baldwin, the Rams’ offensive coordinator, said he didn’t hesitate to accept the interim job against Utah in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Colorado State was routed 45-10.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty that goes on with the players in this process, and we wanted to make sure they understand we’re here for them and we’re going to make this happen,” Baldwin said before the game.

Durkin, who was Will Muschamp’s defensive coordinator, said because of the transitory nature of the business, it’s not awkward when an interim coach takes over for a departed head coach.

He said he appreciated

the trust athletic director Jeremy Foley showed in asking him to lead the Gators against East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl on Jan. 3.

For Cotton, his imminent parting with Nebraska will be more difficult than perhaps it will be for other interim coaches who will be somewhere else next year.

The 58-year-old Cotton grew up in Omaha, played offensive line for the Cornhuskers and served as a graduate assistant under Tom Osborne.

He was Frank Solich’s offensive coordinator in 2003 and held several jobs on Pelini’s staff since 2008. He has had three sons play for Nebraska.

“I wouldn’t have traded my playing experience, certainly wouldn’t have traded working for Frank and working for Bo and having Coach Osborne as the [athletic director] here,” Cotton said.

“And having the chance for Bo and coach Osborne to give my boys the opportunity to come play at Nebraska, where their dad played and where my folks have lived. … I’ll always be thankful and always be blessed.”

NFC WEST

Wilson, Seahawks close in on title

By Bob Baum The Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Seattle Seahawks sure look like Super Bowl material again after dominating Arizona with a stifling defense and dynamic Seahawks 35 offense.

Cardinals 6 Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Seattle set a franchise record with 596 yards of offense and the streaking Seahawks closed in on another NFC West title with a 35-6 romp over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night.

Seattle (11-4) moved into a tie with Arizona (11-4) for first in the NFC West and the Seahawks hold the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over the Cardinals.

Wilson had the longest run of his career (55 yards) and matched the longest pass of his career (80) in the Seahawks’ fifth straight victory.

Marshawn Lynch sat out the first quarter with what the team called an “upset stomach,” then came in to score on a 6-yard run in the second quarter and a spectacular, multiple tacklebreaking 79-yard scoring run in Seattle’s 21-point fourth quarter.

After his long run, Lynch

spun around in the air and grabbed his crotch facing the field before falling to the turf.

A Seattle win at home over St. Louis in next weekend’s regular-season finale would clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the defending Super Bowl champs.

Arizona’s only hope of winning the division is that the Seahawks lose to the Rams and the Cardinals win at San Francisco. Otherwise, Arizona will be relegated to a wild-card spot and a first-round game on the road.

The Cardinals had their most one-sided loss of the season and their only one at home in eight games.

Third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley, pressed into action with an injury to Drew Stanton in the previous game, was 18 for 216 yards and an interception against a Seattle defense that ranks No. 1 in the NFL and has allowed 33 points in its last five games.

Arizona hoped to stay close and keep it low-scoring with its usually tough defense. But Seattle ripped it apart through the air and on the ground.

Wilson completed 20 of 31 for 339 yards, including touchdown passes of 80 and 20 yards to tight end Luke Willson. Lynch gained 113 yards in 10 carries.

a similar decision a year ago when he decided not to criminally charge Winston, citing a lack of evidence.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — This month, a two-day hearFlorida State quarterback Jameis ing was held to determine Winston was cleared Sunday whether Winston violated four of the accusations he faced at a sections of the code of conduct student code of conduct hear— two for sexual misconduct ing involving an alleged sexual and two for endangerment. assault two years ago.

FOOTBALL

Cowboys: Eagles loss opened playoff door Continued from Page B-1 and I thought we played really, really well.”

Romo threw four touchdown passes and broke Troy Aikman’s franchise record for yards passing while the Cowboys (11-4) emphatically ended a three-game home losing streak, scoring touchdowns on their first four possessions.

Dallas had an opening for its first division title and postseason berth since 2009 because of Philadelphia’s 27-24 loss at Washington on Saturday. The Eagles were eliminated with the Cowboys’ win.

The Colts (10-5) didn’t have much to play for with the AFC South title secured, and looked like it while they barely avoided their first shutout loss in 21 years.

“Yeah, it was a dismal start,” said Andrew Luck, who threw for a season-low 109 yards with two interceptions and was pulled in the third quarter with the game out of hand. “It was bad. A lot of bad. Not much good, if any.”

The Cowboys had already ended their three-year rut of 8-8 finishes that included losses in finales that kept them out of the playoffs.

But they had to keep winning

to make sure they got in.

Tight end Jason Witten had a touchdown catch and 90 yards receiving to reach his 11th straight season with at least 600 yards.

Then it kept being the same old story — until Sunday, when Dallas kept alive its hopes for a first-round bye as well.

Romo led scoring drives of 80 and 75 yards, the latter ending on a 24-yard pass to Cole Beasley. He spun away from a shoulder tackle by D’Qwell Jackson and ran the final

13 yards to the end zone.

The 34-year-old Romo broke Aikman’s record on a 25-yard touchdown pass to Witten, his teammate since they came into the league together 11 years ago.

“He’s obviously just got a special place in my heart,” said Romo, who has 32,971 career yards, 29 more than the threetime Super Bowl winner Aikman.

Coming off back surgery that kept him out of last year’s season-ending loss to the

Eagles, and another back injury suffered against Washington in October, Romo had his fifth game with a passer rating of at least 135. He completed 18 for 20 passes for 218 yards.

“I think the way he’s played this year, the way great quarterbacks in this league have played for a long time, that’s how Troy played,” said Garrett, who was Aikman’s backup in Dallas. “We ran the ball really, really well, controlled the line of scrimmage. And when Tony had opportunities today, and really throughout the year, he cashed in on them.”

NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray played with a broken left hand, but the Cowboys didn’t need much from him.

He had 58 yards, with a 1-yard score.

With a home playoff game already in hand and little chance to get a first-round bye, Indianapolis sat receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring injury) and right tackle Gosder Cherilus, who is nursing a groin problem.

Trailing 35-0 in the third quarter, Luck went to the bench in favor of Matt Hasselbeck as the Colts set season lows in points and total yards (229) for the second straight week. They had just 1 yard rushing.

Broncos: Denver can secure playoff bye Continued from Page B-1 games, including 10-20 on Monday night.

Two of the Bengals’ worst games this season have come in prime time, a 43-17 loss at New England on a Sunday night and a 24-3 loss at home to Cleveland on a Thursday night.

“It doesn’t matter what we’ve done in the past, it’s what we’re going to do on Monday night and that’s our focus,” said Andy Dalton, who is 2-6 in prime time games.

Some things to watch on Monday night: Playoff seeding: The Broncos have clinched the AFC West for the fourth straight season. A win on Monday would secure a first-round bye.

They finish the regular season at home against Oakland. The Bengals would clinch a fourth straight playoff berth with a vic-

tory. They finish the season in Pittsburgh.

Broncos run it: The Broncos have put more of an emphasis on their running game in the past few weeks, using C.J. Anderson and Juwan Thompson to take some of the load off Manning.

Anderson had 709 yards from scrimmage in November, the most by any NFL player in the month. He ran for 167 and 168 yards in back-to-back games.

Denver’s dented defense: The Broncos will be without top tackler Brandon Marshall, sidelined by a foot injury. Linebacker Danny Trevathan went on injured reserve with a knee injury, forcing the Broncos to rely on undrafted third-year pro Steven Johnson and newcomer Todd Davis, claimed off waivers from New Orleans a month ago.

“We’ve faced a lot of adversity,” nose tackle Terrance Knighton said. “We faced a lot of adversity last year and still made a

Super Bowl. We have a lot of depth.”

Good Andy/bad Andy: How will Dalton handle the spotlight? During the Thursday night loss to Cleveland, he completed only 10 passes, threw three interceptions and finished with a career-low passer rating of 2.0.

He’s played poorly in all three playoff games as well, turning the ball over with interceptions and fumbles. How well he handles the pressure will be one of the determining factors.

Hand it to Hill: The Bengals would love to let rookie Jeremy Hill take the lead and take the pressure off Dalton. He ran for 148 yards in a 30-0 win at Cleveland last week, making him the first rookie since Tampa Bay’s Cadillac Williams in 2005 to have three games of rushing for more than 140 yards. Hill leads all NFL rookies with 877 yards rushing and is tied for the lead with eight touchdowns.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Argument ends holiday dinners Dear Annie: A few years ago, there was an argument in my husband’s family. Since then, my mother-in-law has stopped having holiday dinners. She invites only one daughter and her family.

This hurts my husband, but he will not say anything to his mother. We feel she should invite everyone as usual, and those who wish to participate will come, and those who don’t will stay away.

Why punish everyone because a few have decided to carry a grudge?

Should my husband say something to his mother, or just leave it alone? — No More Holidays Dear No More: If your husband prefers not to speak to his mother about this, then please let it go. But we have a different idea.

Why not host a family gathering in your home? You can then invite whomever you choose, and Mom can either come or not come.

Perhaps that is what she’s been waiting for.

Dear Annie: A time ago, someone wrote to suggest that folks stop giving seniors perfume and bath salts and other products they don’t use. The big suggestion was gift cards to the grocery. I took that to heart and started giving supermarket cards to all the older folks in our family. But I’ve discovered since then that everyone, not only seniors, loves gift cards to their favorite grocery.

I used to rack my brain to figure out what to get my husband’s office staff at Christmas and began questioning what to give people we were obligated to buy for but didn’t know that well. My husband initially objected to gift cards “because they know how much you spent,” but the feedback has really convinced him it’s a great idea. My hairdresser told me she really loved the supermarket gift card we gave her because she would buy something “special” that she usually wouldn’t splurge on during her regular shopping.

My daughters-in-law each have a favorite department store and love gift cards to those places.

My grandchildren love gift cards

for music, videos and games. I’ve bought gift cards to restaurants, movie theaters and gas stations, and my local supermarket sells gift cards to just about any place, which makes shopping easy.

Considering the amount of time and gas it used to take me to run around town looking for bargains and buying a gift that would be returned or tossed in the back of a closet, this is less expensive than you’d think.

The other idea we have for gift giving is for kids. Instead of more dolls and toys, we give lessons: swimming, horseback riding, martial arts, piano. Whatever the child is currently doing, we simply contribute to that endeavor. They have more than enough “stuff.” — Florida Lady Dear Florida: More and more people appreciate gift cards to stores they frequent. Of course, some people prefer something more personal, but when in doubt, gift cards are usually much appreciated. Thanks for the reminder.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Indy,” who lost her job and feels lonely. Please tell her to volunteer for hospice.

Three years ago, I lost my husband to cancer. I was all alone.

I attended a local hospice griefcounseling group, and three years later, all nine of us still meet once a month for dinner. We are connected and understand each other.

Hospice always needs more volunteers. You don’t have to have had a loss — just a passion for people. Our hospice has 300 volunteers. Nursing homes have folks who never have visitors.

Now, I have a real purpose. I can serve others, no money needed — just time and a desire. Please get involved. — Donna Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.
