Making science lessons fun Salazar Elementary science literacy coach honored for efforts to empower students

TAOS

Residents rally to support officer

Demonstrators protest decision to fire officer who shot at fleeing van

By Andrew Oxford The Taos News

TAOS — Freezing temperatures and bitter winds did not deter approximately 100 Taos residents who marched Sunday in support of former New Mexico State Police Officer Elias Montoya.

The patrolman, who fired three shots at a minivan carrying a fleeing motorist and her five children after an altercation near Talpa in October, was terminated Friday following an investigation into his use of force during the incident.

A state police spokesperson declined to elaborate on the results of the internal inquiry, and it was not known whether Montoya would appeal his dismissal. He had been suspended with pay the previous day pending the outcome of the internal investigation.

illipedes. Goldfish. Snails. Mealworms.

Pill bugs.

Mollie Toll, the science literacy coach at Salazar Elementary School, was sorting through them, making sure the right combinations of critters were delivered to the right classrooms.

Picking up a plastic container marked armadillidium (pill bug or woodlouse), she commented, “That’s the greatest name. It’s like a little tiny armadillo.”

Toll has never been a classroom teacher, but she has “taught,” as she puts it, for 12 years in the public school system and estimates she has spent thousands of hours in dozens of classrooms from kindergarten to the graduate-school level.

Recently, the New Mexico Science Teachers Association named her one of its two outstanding

science teachers of the year.

Toll, who was nominated by her peers, got an email with the news in November. “I thought it was junk email. I almost deleted it,” she said.

The New Hampshire native, who grew up in Rochester, N.Y., has less than fond recollections of her own childhood science classes because they were not hands-on. She mostly read lessons from books. But she was still inspired to become a scientist. Toll received her bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of Chicago, her master’s degree in archaeology from Loyola University, and another master’s in plant ecology from The University of New Mexico. She also earned a teaching certificate from Santa Fe Community College’s teaching academy.

She considered working as an archaeologist or anthropologist but then wondered how many people pay attention to reports generated by professionals working in these fields. She said she

is intrigued by the process of helping kids grasp — via reading, writing and critical thinking — life concepts through science. She believes in empowering them to make the connection.

“It shouldn’t be about someone telling you something, but you finding out what you need to find out,” she said. “Science is about the process of thinking.”

One of Toll’s nominators noted that Toll has strong personal connections to her students, encourages them to participate in science fairs and established a school garden.

On Wednesday, she popped into several classrooms run by other teachers to help with science instruction and projects. She taught microscopy to Mona Khazee’s fifth-graders, using a learning process known as science notebooking. She first articulates a concept — field of vision, in this case —

raising site, indiegogo.com, in an effort to raise the $143,000 it needs to get started. As of Wednesday, the group had raised $1,800 toward its goal.

The campaign ends Jan. 22, 2014. If successful, the nonprofit will begin to coordinate logistics with restaurant, hotel and grocery store clients.

Tejinder Ciano of Reunity Resources said the Santa Fe City Council approved a professional services agreement with the nonprofit in midNovember. But the city is not funding the program.

Rising riches: 1 in 5 reaches affluence in United States

By Hope Yen

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — It’s not just the wealthiest 1 percent.

Fully 20 percent of U.S. adults become rich for parts of their lives, wielding outsize influence on America’s economy and politics. This little-known group may pose the biggest barrier to reducing the nation’s income inequality.

The growing numbers of the U.S. poor have been well documented, but survey data provided to The Associated Press detail the flip side of the record income gap — the rise of the “new rich.”

Made up largely of older professionals, working married couples and more educated singles, the new rich are those with household income of $250,000 or more at some point during their working lives. That puts them, if sometimes temporarily, in the top 2 percent of earners.

Even outside periods of unusual wealth, members of this group generally hover in the $100,000-plus income range, keeping them in the top 20 percent of earners.

Companies increasingly are marketing to this rising demographic, fueling a surge of “mass luxury” products and services from premium Starbucks coffee and organic groceries to concierge medicine and VIP lanes at airports.

Political parties are taking a renewed look at the up-for-grabs group, once

In brief

Four U.S. presidents to attend Mandela’s memorial Tuesday JOHANNESBURG — Four American presidents, along with more than 60 other world leaders, will travel to South Africa this week to honor former President Nelson Mandela.

South Africa has never hosted so many world leaders, or faced such daunting logistical and security challenges. Most, including President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, will attend a memorial on Tuesday at the 90,000-seat soccer stadium in Soweto.

A select few will attend Mandela’s private funeral Sunday in Qunu, his home village.

The Obamas will be joined at the memorial by forner Presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush. Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, are expected to attend one of the events, but it was not clear which one. The other living president, George H. W. Bush, has been in frail health and will not make the trip.

Crushing counterfeiters

France fighting fraud as demand for expensive wines increasing

By Sarah DiLorenzo

The Associated Press

SAINT-EMILION, France n FBI agent recently showed Arnaud de Laforcade a file with several labels supposedly from 1947 bottles of Chateau Cheval Blanc, one of France’s finest wines. To the Saint-Emilion vineyard’s CFO, they were clearly fakes — too new looking, not on the right of paper.

But customers might be more easily duped.

Regardless of his skill, the counterfeiter had ambition: 1947 is considered an exceptionally good year, and Cheval Blanc’s production that year has been called the greatest Bordeaux ever. The current average price paid for a bottle at auction is about $11,500, according to truebottle.com, which tracks auctions and helps consumers spot fakes.

Counterfeiting likely has dogged wine as long as it has been produced. In the 18th century, King Louis XV ordered the makers of Cotes du Rhone to brand their barrels with “CDR” before export to prevent fraud.

But counterfeiting is getting more sophisticated and more ambitious, particularly as bottle prices rise due to huge demand in new markets, mainly in Asia. After decades of silence, producers across the $217-billion industry are finally beginning to talk about the problem and ways to combat fraud.

Experts say it’s impossible to know the size of the counterfeit market. Partially that’s because many sales happen privately and because it is woven into a legal market, unlike, say, cocaine trafficking. Many known counterfeits likely go unreported because the victims are embarrassed — and chagrined to lose their investment.

Industry insiders have long ignored the problem as producers were afraid of scaring customers.

But many experts agree on one point: The quantity of rare bottles from illustrious vineyards To help deter counbeing auctioned is just too high to not terfeiters, anti-fraud labels are affixed to include fakes. bottles.

“I think it’s pretty obvious to everybody that there is a relatively large amount of counterfeit wines from these top wineries that is on the market,” said Leonardo LoCascio, founder of Winebow, a leading U.S. importer of wine. uuu

On the front lines is Bernard Medina, who is the director of a lab run by the French Finance Ministry in Bordeaux.

Medina’s lab runs a series of tests on bottles that come their way: measuring the isotopes of certain elements can determine generally which country a wine comes from, measuring the trace radioactivity in a bottle can broadly determine its age. Wines that claim to be from before the invention of the atom bomb, for instance, should have no cesium-137. By contrast, bottles from the 1960s, when nuclear tests happened almost weekly, show a noticeable spike in cesium.

The lab also makes its own wines from grapes collected about every 30 miles across Western France. Each of those wines then serves as a reference point for a given year.

None of these tests is definitive, but,

Hindering the industry’s ability to shake out the forgeries is the wine industry’s secretiveness. It is a discrete business, conducted quietly among a relatively small number of people who know one another. When a bad apple worms its way into that circle, many it seem would rather swallow their losses than rat out “friends” and admit their ignorance.

Bill Koch, the billionaire businessman whose cellar includes 43,000 bottles, says he has upset that order by becoming a vocal crusader against fakes. He started collecting wine about 40 years ago and has bought some of the most sought-after wines in the world, including bottles that purported to be part of Thomas Jefferson’s private collection.

Those were the first bottles Koch discovered were fake, but the experience led him to hire experts to sniff out other forgeries. They have found 500 to 600 counterfeit bottles, for which he paid between $4 million and $5 million — and the experts aren’t yet finished.

“There’s a code of silence,” Koch said, but his lawsuits against the auction houses where he bought fakes have threatened that.

As have high-profile cases like the FBI’s against Rudy Kurniawan, who is accused of selling $1.3 million worth of counterfeit wine — and believed to have put many more millions of dollars in fakes on the market.

“I think the ostrich strategy, hiding yourself and saying we’ll figure it out later, is not satisfying,” said Fabien Teitgen, who is in charge of winemaking at Smith Haut Lafitte in Bordeaux. “The best is to speak about it openly.”

Report: Philippine typhoon victims still waiting for aid CANBERRA, Australia — The United Nations is investigating reports that aid has yet to reach remote parts of the Philippines a month after a devastating typhoon, the U.N. humanitarian chief said on Monday.

Valerie Amos, U.N. Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said she there are some fears that some of the most remote outlying islands might not have received assistance following the Nov. 8 disaster.

Typhoon Haiyan plowed through Tacloban and other coastal areas, leaving more than 5,700 dead and more than 1,700 missing throughout the region. About 4 million people were displaced.

Thai prime minister dissolves Parliament, calls for elections BANGKOK — Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said Monday she will dissolve the lower house of Parliament and call elections in an attempt to calm the country’s deepening political crisis.

Yingluck’s announcement came as thousands of protesters marched through Bangkok in a “final showdown” against her government.

“After listening to opinions from all sides, I have decided to request a royal decree to dissolve Parliament,” Yingluck said in a televised statement.

U.N. says Afghanistan slow to restore protection for women KABUL, Afghanistan — The United Nations complained Sunday that Afghan authorities have been slow in enforcing a law protecting women against forced marriages, domestic violence and rape.

A report issued by the U.N. mission in Afghanistan found that although Afghan authorities registered more reports of violence against women under the 4-year-old law, prosecutions and convictions remained low.

together, they can generally sniff out fakes.

Medina warns, however, that over the past year he has been seeing fewer of the gross counterfeits and expects criminals are focusing on harder to spot, more lucrative fakes.

SAN FRANCISCO — A day after arriving home to California, the 85-year-old U.S. veteran detained for weeks by North Korea said Sunday he was well-fed and kept comfortable in a hotel room, not a jail cell.

Merrill Newman spoke briefly with the Santa Cruz Sentinel outside his vacation home in Santa Cruz.

He was detained in late October at the end of a 10-day trip to North Korea, a visit that came six decades after he oversaw a group of South Korean wartime guerrillas during the 1950-53 war.

Newman said “that’s not my English” when asked about the video North Korean state media released last month showing him reading an awkwardly worded alleged confession apologizing for, among other things, killing North Koreans during the war.

Newman also said Sunday that his wife is now in charge of his passport when asked if he planned any more international travel.

Wicked weather torments travelers

By Dan Gelston and Michael Rubinkam The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — A powerful storm that crept across the country dumped a mix of snow, freezing rain and sleet on the Mid-Atlantic region and headed northeast Sunday, turning NFL playing fields in Pennsylvania into winter wonderlands, threatening as much as a foot of snow in Delaware and New Jersey and raising concerns about a messy Monday commute.

The storm forced the cancellation of thousands of flights and slowed traffic on roads across the region.

What was forecast in the Philadelphia area to be a tame storm system with about an inch of snow followed by rain mushroomed into a full-blown snowstorm that snarled traffic along Interstate 95 in Pennsylvania from the Delaware to New Jersey state lines.

Paul Jones, 24, a youth hockey coach from Warminster in the Philadelphia suburbs, was on his way to a game in Lancaster when he got stuck — along with his fiancée, another coach and three players — in a major backup on the turnpike.

The roadway was “snowcovered, slick,” Jones said in an interview from the car, where he was a passenger and had been at a standstill for more than an hour.

“People are in and out” of their vehicles, he said. “Kids are having a snowball fight on the side of the road, making snow angels, people are walking their dogs.”

Snow accumulation in some sections of southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware and southern New Jersey could reach 9 to 11 inches, while other areas could see as little as an inch or 2, said Valerie Meola, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, N.J. Air passengers in the Washington-area experienced delays as the season’s first real snowstorm set in. Virginia, parts of West Virginia and the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area braced for blackouts under steady freezing rain, wet snow and sleet.

The heavy snow wasn’t limited to the East Coast. A snowstorm along the Utah-Arizona border left hundreds stranded on I-15 overnight into Sunday.

The Arizona Highway Patrol said passengers in about 300 vehicles became stranded after up to 10 inches of snow and slick road conditions prompted the closure of part of the highway. There were no immediate reports of serious injuries.

Ukrainians rise in ‘dignity revolution’ Thousands protest decision to ditch EU in favor of Russia

By Jim Heintz and Yuras Karmanau The Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — Hundreds of thousands of protesters poured into the streets of Ukraine’s capital on Sunday, toppling a statue of former Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin and blockading key government buildings in an escalating standoff with the president over the future of the country.

The biggest demonstration in the former Soviet republic since Ukraine’s pro-democracy Orange Revolution in 2004 led the government to fire back. It announced an investigation of opposition leaders for an alleged attempt to seize power and warned the demonstrators they could face criminal charges.

The West pressed for a peaceful settlement.

Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians flooded the center of Kiev, the capital, to demand President Viktor Yanukovych’s ouster after he cut ties with the European Union in favor of Russia and sent police to break up an earlier protest in the nearly threeweek standoff.

Lessons: Toll aims to engage and challenge kids

Rally: Group signs ‘thank you’ cards for police officers

and then asks the students to write down their own understanding of it in their notebooks and then read what they wrote aloud.

“It’s kids explaining to themselves what they just learned,” Toll said.

Khazee, a first-year teacher, called Toll “the go-to person for science” and said she often calls on her to help explain concepts and ideas that need reinforcement.

One of Khazee’s students, 10-year-old César Vasquez, showed particular interest in studying tomato seeds, corn grits and fish scales under a microscope. He said he likes Toll because “she makes science fun.”

Sixth-grade student Gabriel Alarcon said Toll explains science concepts so that all the students understand them, slowing down for those who aren’t grasping the lesson. Several other sixth-graders credited Toll with encouraging them to participate in the school’s science fairs.

Another sixth-grader, James Madrid, called Toll a great teacher who “helps all the kids in the classroom. Without her, we would be out of control.” And, he added, “Without science, we’d

still be living in caves.”

Toll said it was one of the Salazar Elementary School students who told her, “I love science because it’s always interesting and just a little bit hard.”

That’s how it should be, she said. “You want kids to be where they are engaged but understand there is a challenge.”

According to Debra Thrall, president of the

New Mexico Science Teachers Association, the other outstanding science teacher in the state is Colleen Ruiz from Our Lady of Annunciation Catholic School in Albuquerque. Each teacher receives $150 and a cutting board that says, “Outstanding Science Teacher of the Year.”

Compost: Group trying to raise funds online Continued from Page A-1 Reunity Resources plans to lease 64-gallon carts from the city, and participating restaurants and hotel kitchens would use the carts to deposit pre- and post-consumer waste. Meat, bones and vegetables may be mixed together. Larger institutions could have up to a dozen carts and three collections per week. The simplest plan calls for one to three carts and one weekly pickup.

Ciano said there’s a lot of interest, including from the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, but the first job is to raise the money. The community compost-

ing plan calls for spending of about $29,000 on equipment and materials, $98,000 in salaries (five new jobs), $6,000 for marketing and $9,500 for insurance.

Once it is up and running, the business is designed to be self-sustaining from revenues generated by the fees. During the pilot phase of the program, which is set up to handle waste from about 30 restaurants, the fees will be $50 per pickup.

Reunity Resources already is collecting grease from about 60 restaurants in Santa Fe and converting it to biodiesel fuel. Ultimately, it would like to do the same with kitchen scraps by making its own compost and donating it to

ON THE WEB u www.reunityresources.com

schools and other nonprofits.

Meanwhile, the scraps will go to the Payne’s Organic Soil Yard, which will process them into compost for sale.

According to Ciano, less than 30 percent of what ends up in landfills belongs there. Of the rest, a least a quarter is compostable, he said.

Besides taking up room in the landfill, the organic matter also creates methane, a greenhouse gas that traps 21 times more heat than carbon dioxide, he said.

To donate, investors can go to

indiegogo.com and search for Moving Mountains. There, they will find the “perks” associated with various levels of contributions. For $20, for example, you receive free admission to the Spring Equinox Launch Party in March featuring DJ Bacon and a silent auction. For $250, you also get a bag of worm castings or a worm starter kit. For $2,500, you also will receive a handcrafted, ergonomic pitchfork designed and made locally by metal artist and gardener Steve Dulfer.

Affluence: Group aware of economic fragility Continued from Page A-1 solidly Republican.

They’re not the traditional rich.

In a country where poverty is at a record high, today’s new rich are notable for their sense of economic fragility. They’re reached the top 2 percent, only to fall below it, in many cases. That makes them much more fiscally conservative than other Americans, polling suggests, and less likely to support public programs, such as food stamps or early public education, to help the disadvantaged.

Last week, President Barack Obama asserted that growing inequality is “the defining challenge of our time,” signaling that it will be a major theme for Democrats in next year’s elections.

New research suggests affluent Americans are more numerous than government data depict, encompassing 21 percent of working-age adults for at least a year by the time they turn 60. That proportion has more than doubled since 1979.

At the same time, an increasing polarization of low-wage work and high-skill jobs has left middleincome careers depleted.

“For many in this group, the American dream is not dead. They have reached affluence for parts of their lives and see it as very attainable, even if the dream has become more elusive for everyone else,” says Mark Rank, a professor at Washington University in St. Louis, who calculated numbers on the affluent for a forthcoming book, Chasing the American Dream.

As the fastest-growing group based on take-home pay, the new rich tend to enjoy better schools, employment and gated communities, making it easier to pass on their privilege to their children.

Their success has implications for politics and policy.

The group is more liberal than lower-income groups on issues such as abortion and gay marriage, according to an analysis of General Social Survey data by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

But when it comes to money, their views aren’t so open. They’re wary of any government role in closing the income gap.

In Gallup polling in October, 60 percent of people making $90,000 or more said average Americans already had “plenty of

Gallery owner Deborah Sponder walks her dog last month in the Miami’s Design District.

opportunity” to get ahead. Among those making less than $48,000, the share was 48 percent.

“In this country, you don’t get anywhere without working hard,” said James Lott, 28, a pharmacist in Renton, Wash., who adds to his sixfigure salary by day-trading stocks.

The son of Nigerian American immigrants, Lott says he was able to get ahead by earning an advanced pharmacy degree. He makes about $200,000 a year.

After growing up on food stamps, Lott now splurges occasionally on nicer restaurants, Hugo Boss shoes and extended vacations to New Orleans, Atlanta and Latin America.

He believes government should play a role in helping the disadvantaged.

But he says the poor should be encouraged to support themselves, explaining that his single mother rose out of hardship by starting a day-care business in their home.

“I definitely don’t see myself as rich,” says Lott, who is saving to purchase a downtown luxury condominium. That will be the case, he says, “the day I don’t have to go to work every single day.” uuu

Sometimes referred to by marketers as the “mass affluent,” the new rich make up roughly 25 million U.S.

households and account for nearly 40 percent of total U.S. consumer spending.

While paychecks shrank for most Americans after the 2007-09 recession, theirs held steady or edged higher. In 2012, the top 20 percent of U.S. households took home a record 51 percent of the nation’s income.

The median income of this group is more than $150,000.

Once concentrated in the oldmoney enclaves of the Northeast, the new rich are now spread across big cities and their suburbs. They include Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. By race, whites are three times more likely to reach affluence than nonwhites.

Paul F. Nunes, managing director at Accenture’s Institute for High Performance and Research, calls this group “the new power brokers of consumption.” Because they spend just 60 percent of their before-tax income, often setting the rest aside for retirement or investing, he says their capacity to spend more will be important to a U.S. economic recovery.

In Miami, developers are betting on a growing luxury market, building malls featuring Cartier, Armani and Louis Vuitton, and hoping to expand on South Florida’s Bal Harbour, a favored hideaway of the rich.

“It’s not that I don’t have money.

It’s more like I don’t have time,” said Deborah Sponder, 57, walking her dog recently along Miami’s Design District. She was headed to one of her two art galleries — this one between the Emilio Pucci and Cartier stores and close to the Louis Vuitton and Hermès storefronts.

But Sponder says she doesn’t consider her income of $250,000 as upper class, noting she is paying college tuition for her three children.

“Between rent, schooling and everything — it comes in and goes out.”

Economists say the group’s influence will only grow as middle-class families below them struggle. Corporate profits and the stock market are hitting records while the median household income of $51,000 is at its lowest since 1995. That’s a boon for upper-income people who are more likely to invest in stocks.

At the same time, some 54 percent of working-age Americans will experience near-poverty for portions of their lives, hurt by global-

ization and the loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs. uuu

Both Democrats and Republicans are awakening to the political realities presented by this new bubble.

Traditionally Republican, the group makes up more than 1 in 4 voters and is now more politically divided, better educated and less white and male than in the past, according to Election Day exit polls dating to the 1970s.

Sixty-nine percent of upperincome voters backed Republican Ronald Reagan and his supply-side economics of tax cuts in 1984. By 2008, Democrat Barack Obama had split their vote evenly, 49-49.

In 2012, Obama lost the group, with 54 percent backing Republican Mitt Romney. Still, Obama’s performance among higher-income voters exceeded nearly every Democrat before him.

Some analysts have urged Democrats to tread more lightly on issues of income inequality, even after the recent election of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who made the issue his top campaign priority.

In recent weeks, media attention has also focused on growing liberal enthusiasm for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., whose push to hold banks and Wall Street accountable could stoke Occupy Wall Streetstyle populist anger against the rich.

“For the Democrats’ part, traditional economic populism is poorly suited for affluent professionals,” says Alan Abramowitz, an Emory University professor who specializes in political polarization.

The new rich includes Robert Kane, 39, of Colorado Springs, Colo.

A former stockbroker who once owned three houses and voted steadfastly Republican, Kane says he was humbled after the 2008 financial meltdown, which he says exposed Wall Street’s excesses. Now a senior vice president for a private equity firm specializing in the marijuana business, Kane says he’s concerned about upward mobility for the poor and calls wealthy politicians liek Romney “out of touch.”

But Kane, now a registered independent, draws the line when it comes to higher taxes.

“A dollar is best in your hand rather than the government’s,” he says.

“I have no idea what is going through his mind right now,” sister Lydia Montoya told The Taos News during Sunday’s demonstration, noting that her brother had retained the services of an attorney.

The former patrolman did not attend the march, but his sister said he had been “the strong one” of the family.

“He has been telling us that he is OK and that we will be OK,” Lydia Montoya said.

The shooting was one of four incidents in October in which state police officers used deadly force, and it prompted criticism from some community leaders after video of the officer firing his service weapon at the fleeing vehicle garnered national media attention.

But Montoya’s termination also galvanized support for the officer among Taos residents.

“There was a lot of pressure to fire Elias and to have a scapegoat,” said Marie Fleur, an emergency medical technician who helped organize Sunday’s demonstration. “It seems to me like [the state police] cowed down to national media.”

Fleur said the march, which began at Taos Plaza and proceeded more than two miles to the New Mexico State Police substation on Paseo del Cañon East, was not intended only to rally support for Montoya.

“We would love for him to be reinstated, but we also want to show our support for all law enforcement,” she said. “They have our back, and we have theirs.”

Taos police Officer Jani Davis, who attended the demonstration while off duty, appealed for a better understanding of the challenges facing law enforcement personnel.

“It’s a hard job and people don’t understand that,” she told The Taos News.

While Montoya should have been subject to disciplinary action, Davis added that he should not have been terminated.

“Everybody deserves a second grace — even police officers,” she said.

After brief remarks from Fleur and Davis at Taos Plaza, the crowd walked to the state police substation toting signs with statements such as “Taos loves and supports you, Elias” and “Abuse of media lies.”

The demonstration ended with dozens of marchers signing “thank you” cards for state police officers.

“Thank you for putting your life on the line for us every day,” wrote Leann Archuleta, a teacher and longtime acquaintance of Montoya’s.

Many of those who participated in the demonstration said they were friends of the former patrolman from his work as a mentor and coach.

Others were fellow motorcycle enthusiasts or neighbors.

The group coalesced quickly via social networking websites such as Facebook. A page for the event created hours after Montoya’s termination Friday also provided a platform for an open letter from former Taos Police Department Chief Rick Anglada to Gov. Susana Martinez calling for the former patrolman’s reinstatement.

“He was wrongfully judged by slanted media reports and people who know nothing about use of force issues or conducting a fair, officer involved shooting investigation,” Anglada wrote.

“He was judged using an unfair 20/20 hindsight standard, which assumed he knowingly shot at a van full of children. That is far from the truth and cannot be considered when assigning discipline against him …

“Please assure the supporters of Officer Montoya, you did not direct [New Mexico State Police Chief Pete] Kassetas to fire him. Please assure them you will personally meet with Officer Montoya and ask the State Police to rescind the termination,” the letter continued.

The state police chief’s decision to terminate Montoya received support from some local residents, however.

Patrick Trujillo said he stood by Kassetas in his decision and looks forward to a meeting with the chief on Friday to further address concerns regarding the use of force by officers during the October incident.

Trujillo helped organize a demonstration Dec. 1 during which approximately 20 people delivered letters to Kassetas at the Taos substation calling for accountability at the law enforcement agency.

The department’s policy on the use of deadly force prohibits officers from discharging their firearms if doing so would pose “an unreasonable risk to the officer or others.”

In a report he filed shortly after the incident, Montoya wrote he shot at the minivan’s tires “because of all the people in the vehicle.”

He was responding to a call for assistance from fellow Officer Tony DeTavis that afternoon. DeTavis stopped Oriana Farrell of Memphis, Tenn., who was traveling in a minivan with her five children, for allegedly speeding on N.M. 518 near Talpa.

Farrell drove away from the traffic stop before receiving a citation and was pulled over

by DeTavis again about a mile down the road.

A scuffle involving the officer, Farrell and her 14-year-old son ensued. As Farrell drove away a second time, Montoya, who had just arrived, fired on the fleeing vehicle as another colleague drew his weapon. Officers followed Farrell at high speeds before she stopped in front of a hotel on Paseo del Pueblo Sur in Taos. Farrell and her son were taken into custody. She was charged with abuse of a child, aggravated fleeing of a law enforcement officer and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both Farrell and her son have since been released and are living in the Santa Fe area while they await further court proceedings.

Moto G isn’t the best, but decent for $179

New food-tech startup aims to change the way we eat …

and it’s starting with the egg

The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO he startup is housed in a garage-like space in San Francisco’s tech-heavy South of Market neighborhood, but it isn’t like most of its neighbors that develop software, websites and mobile-phone apps. Its mission is to find plant replacements for eggs.

Inside, research chefs bake cookies and cakes, whip up batches of flavored mayonnaise and pan-fry omelets and French toast — all without eggs.

Funded by prominent Silicon Valley investors and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Hampton Creek Foods seeks to disrupt a global egg industry that backers say wastes energy, pollutes the environment, causes disease outbreaks and confines chickens to tiny spaces.

The company, which just started selling its first product — Just Mayo mayonnaise — at Whole Foods Markets, is part of a new generation of so-called food-tech ventures that aim to change the way we eat.

“There’s nothing to indicate that this will be a trend that will end anytime soon,” said Anand Sanwal, CEO of CB Insights, a New York firm that tracks venture capital investment. “Sustainability and challenges to the food supply are pretty fundamental issues.”

Venture capital firms, which invest heavily in early-stage technology companies, poured nearly $350 million into food-related startups last year, compared with less than $50 million in 2008, according to the firm.

Plant-based alternatives to eggs, poultry and other meat could be good for the environment because it could reduce consumption of meat, which requires large amounts of land, water and crops to produce, backers say.

It could also benefit people’s health, especially in heavy meateating countries like the U.S., and reduce outbreaks of diseases such as avian flu, they say.

“The biggest challenge is that people who consume a lot of meat really like meat, and to convince them to try something different may be extremely difficult,” said Claire Kremen, faculty co-director of the Berkeley Food Institute at the University of

California, Berkeley.

The American Egg Board, which represents U.S. producers, said eggs can’t be replaced.

“Our customers have said they’re not interested in egg substitutes. They want real, natural eggs with their familiar ingredients,” Mitch Kanter, executive director of the board-funded Egg Nutrition Center, said in a statement.

The industry has reduced its water use and greenhouse gas emissions, and hens are living longer due to better health and nutrition, he said.

Hampton Creek’s quest to replace the ubiquitous chicken egg also is backed by PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel and Khosla Ventures, a venture capital fund started by Sun Microsystems cofounder Vinod Khosla.

ing for plants that can fulfill the culinary functions of eggs. So far, the company has analyzed some 1,500 types of plants from more than 60 countries.

The research has resulted in 11 “hits,” said Josh Tetrick, the company’s CEO. “Our approach is to use plants that are much more sustainable — less greenhouse gas emissions, less water, no animal involved and a whole lot more affordable — to create a better food system,” said the former linebacker on West Virginia University’s football team.

The company’s first product — the mayonnaise — is sold for roughly the same price as the traditional variety. It soon hopes to start selling cookie dough and a batter that scrambles like eggs when fried in a pan.

“The egg is a miracle, so one of the hardest parts of replacing it is all the functions that it can do,” said Chris Jones, the company’s

culinary director of innovations and a former contestant on Bravo TV’s Top Chef.

While Hampton Creek takes aim at the egg, another Gatesbacked company is targeting the chicken itself.

Beyond Meat, located in Southern California, sells “chicken-free strips,” which have the taste and stringy texture of poultry but are made from plant protein. It is sold at Whole Foods and natural food stores. It’s also working on a product that mimics beef.

Inside its test kitchen in El Segundo, Caitlin Grady, the company’s culinary ambassador, stir-fried the strips with broccoli, onion, peppers and sesame oil.

“I cooked it just like a regular stir-fry, but I don’t have to worry about the meat being raw,” Grady said.

The company is also funded

by Obvious Corp., a startup incubator founded by Twitter’s founders, and Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley’s premier venture capital firms.

“It can fit in a vegan’s diet. It can fit in a carnivore’s diet,” said Beyond Meat CEO Ethan Brown.

“We’re trying to appeal to the full range of consumers that are making some shift toward healthier protein.”

EW YORK — You’re not getting the best or the latest technology with Motorola’s $179 Moto G smartphone. What you do get is a great price for something close.

Motorola bills the Moto G as the phone for the rest of us — the ones who can’t afford $500 to $700 for a high-end smartphone. That’s a big deal overseas, where carriers don’t subsidize phones with twoyear service contracts the way they do in the United States. But even in the U.S., more people are moving to contract-free plans and ones that offer frequent upgrades, meaning the full retail price is what’s going to matter.

The Moto G started shipping in the U.S. last week, initially for the GSM networks used by AT&T and T-Mobile. I spent the past week testing the Moto G, comparing the phone primarily with its more expensive cousin, Motorola’s $500 Moto X. I also put it up against another lower-cost phone, Google’s $349 Nexus 5, as well as the premium, $649 iPhone 5S from Apple.

Where the Moto G fell short was in its camera, battery life and inability to access faster, 4G LTE cellular networks. For everything else I tested, the Moto G stood up well.

Motorola, which is owned by Google Inc., doesn’t skimp in equipping the Moto G with a speedy processor. Apps launch almost as quickly as they do on the phone’s pricier rivals. The Moto G runs a fairly recent version of Google’s Android system, with a promised upgrade to the latest, Kit Kat, early next year.

The Moto G also has a decent screen. It’s about as sharp as the Moto X’s and the iPhone’s, enough for 720p video, though the Nexus and various Samsung phones do better by offering full, 1080p high definition. The Moto G’s screen measures 4.5 inches diagonally, which is larger than the iPhone’s but small for Android. Colors aren’t as rich as on the Moto X’s display, but if I want a superb visual experience, I’d turn to a tablet, a TV or even a movie theater. For a phone, the Moto G’s screen delivers video quite well.

The Moto G doesn’t win points on size and weight.

Although the screen is smaller than the Moto X’s 4.7inch display, the phone overall is a tad bulkier and 10 percent heavier. The Moto G has a larger frame surrounding the screen — something phone makers have been trying to shrink.

As for the other shortcomings: u Cellular access. The Moto G delivers 3G performance at best. Many parts of the world are moving to 4G, but Motorola points out that many of its target markets are still upgrading to 3G. Even in the U.S., many regions lack 4G. If I’m doing a lot of things requiring top-notch speeds, I’m better off finding a Wi-Fi network anyway. u Battery life. The Moto G has 6 percent less battery capacity than the Moto X. I got about up to eight hours of streaming video on Hulu with the Moto G, compared with nine to 10 hours on the Moto X. Although the Moto G has a removable plastic back, the battery can’t be exchanged with a spare. That said, eight hours for streaming video is a lot, and you can stretch it to a full day with more moderate use. u Camera. The main camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, less than the 8 megapixels on the iPhone and the Nexus and the 10 megapixels on the Moto X. There’s more to a good camera than the pixel count, but the pictures I took with the Moto G weren’t particularly good, especially in low light. They are passable for selfies and Facebook posts, but you’ll want a better camera for keepsakes. Perhaps the money you save on the phone can go to a point-and-shoot camera that takes better pictures.

The Moto G is also short on frills. Part of that stems from Motorola’s philosophy not to tinker with the Android operating system too much. Many rival phone makers do just that and wind up creating more chaos and confusion.

Instead, Motorola tries to limit what it adds. In the case of the Moto X, you can twist the phone to automatically launch the camera. You can initiate voice commands by saying, “OK, Google Now.” The Moto X also offers unprecedented customization when you order; you can choose everything from the color of the power button to a personalized message on the back cover.

The Moto G has none of that. The frills are limited to an FM radio tuner, something rare in smartphones.

Just plug in a pair of headphones, which serves as the antenna. You can swap the back with a new plastic cover, but the phone isn’t assembled at the factory to your specifications.

Be aware that the $179 price gets you 8 gigabytes of storage, half of what most phones offer. Given all the room your photos and video will need, pay the extra $20 for a 16 gigabyte model. Unfortunately, there’s no slot for memory cards, as some Android phones offer.

Motorola sells the phone unlocked, meaning you can switch carriers as long as they use GSM. Verizon and Sprint are among the few carriers in the world using a different technology, CDMA. A Verizon version is coming early next year, while Sprint won’t say whether it will have one.

Phone makers have been trying to set themselves apart by loading phones with more and more features, only some of which are useful. Motorola doesn’t try to do that with the Moto G, apart from including an FM tuner. Instead, it’s distinguishing itself through price. No one can question whether that’s useful.

Google’s Motorola Mobility CEO Dennis Woodside holds the Moto G smartphone last month during an interview in New York.

ichael Coca está dedicado a la sostenibilidad económica usando recursos locales y tecnología apropiada. Se describe a sí mismo como un radical. Coca creció en Los Álamos y dice que fue activista antinuclear cuando tenía 12 años.

Coca fue la primera persona en su familia en obtener un título universitario — con maestría en administración de empresas. Trabajó como agente de seguros hasta 1975. Luego, de vacaciones en México tuvo una epifanía.

“Estaba con un par de amigos en una isla, la Isla de la Piedra, justo en las afueras de la costa de Mazatlán.

Caminamos en la playa y hablamos sobre el mundo y la necesidad de ser autosuficiente. Recuerdo que el sol se estaba poniendo en el mar y tuve la visión de que tenía que cambiar mi vida porque el camino que tomaba no seguía a mi alma o mi corazón”, dice Coca. “Cuando regresé a Nuevo México, unos amigos y yo lanzamos Soloco Inc. y en 1980, establecí San Miguel Sun Dwellings, una compañía de diseño solar arquitectónico y de construcción”.

Uno de los primeros proyectos de Soloco fue la construcción de un invernadero solar adjunto a una casa en Romeroville. Coca menciona que construyeron un invernadero de energía solar pasiva de 700 pies cuadrados usando materiales reciclados por menos de $2,000.

Desde ese humilde comienzo, Coca, 69, ha diseñado innumerables estructuras solares y ha crecido como activista comunitario. A pesar del impedimento de su espalda que descarta actividades extenuantes – incluyendo el tenis, que jugaba en Los Álamos High — Coca mantiene una agenda ocupada.

La semana pasada, como presiente actual del grupo Amigos Bravos, habló para el programa Radio Café de KSFR sobre los derechos del agua y la necesidad de restaurar los riachuelos en Nuevo México para que sean potables.

Un par de días más tarde, dio una presentación a la Asociación de Acequias en Nuevo México sobre el uso de invernaderos solares en estanques.

“Tengo la patente pendiente de invernaderos solares en estanques”, comenta. “Esta idea data del periodo Neolítico. He combinado tecnología prehistórica con tecnología actual apropiada para conservar irrigación con agua limpia e incrementar la producción agrícola en invernaderos”.

Google Maps returns for iPhone, and it boasts big improvements

By Bree Fowler

The Associated Press

L

ike a lot of people, I was happy and relieved to see Google Maps return to the iPhone.

I’d been frustrated with the Apple mapping software that had replaced it three months ago. For one thing, it didn’t have public transit directions, a feature important for New Yorkers like me. Apple’s mapping app also wasn’t as good as the old Google app in finding destinations. I often had to type full addresses rather than just the name of a business.

I tried to get by with maps on Google’s mobile website instead, but I found that clunky and slower to start up. So when Google Maps returned this week as its own app, I installed it right away.

Although it may not be perfect, it is a big step up from both Apple’s current software and the old Google-powered Maps app that Apple kicked off the iPhone in September.

For the first time, Google Maps has turn-by-turn voice navigation on the iPhone, and with that, automatic recalculation of routes whenever you make a wrong turn. The feature had been available on Android phones since 2009, but Google’s previous refusal to bring it to the iPhone is believed to be a key reason Apple decided to develop its own technology.

The new app also offers public transit information for more than 500 cities around the world. That’s a feature Apple’s own mapping software lacks.

The turn-by-turn driving directions work exceptionally well. It quickly and accurately calculated the most direct route from The Associated Press’ headquarters in Manhattan to my home in the Bronx. It offered a variety of routes for traveling from New York to Boston.

The app’s voice directions came in the form of a pleasant female voice that sounded much more human than the GPS system my husband had in his car years ago. She was also more pleasant to hear than Siri, the virtual assistant on my iPhone 4S. The maps themselves are clear and easy to read, and directions were easy to understand. But don’t worry if you’re the type of person, like my husband, who finds voice directions annoying.

There’s a mute option.

Google’s app usually gives you the choice of a couple of routes.

Unlike Apple’s app, Google Maps lets you automatically exclude routes that involve highways or tolls. You can also add an overlay showing how bad the traffic is along the way, along with satellite and extensive street-level photography of the area you’re traveling through. Those features are much more limited in Apple’s app.

To test out the walking directions, I took to the streets of New York. I didn’t get as many bells and whistles as the driving directions. For instance, there was no nice lady to tell me which way to go, because the voice directions only work for driving. In addition, the app doesn’t automatically recalculate your route if you miss a turn. The little blue dot marking your location just continues on its merry way in the wrong direction.

To get the voice and the recalculations, you’d have to walk with driving directions, but you might then find yourself walking farther as the app won’t let you walk against traffic on a one-way street or through a park on recreational paths.

Google’s mapping service is typically adorned with multitudes of landmarks such as tourist spots, dry cleaners and bars. To test this out, I took a walk up Ninth Avenue toward Hell’s Kitchen. I found that while Google knows this neighborhood pretty well, it doesn’t know it as well as I do.

The world’s most popular online mapping system returned to Apple with the release of the Google Maps iPhone app.

The release comes nearly three months after Apple Inc. replaced Google Maps as the device’s built-in navigation system and inserted its own map software into the latest version of its mobile operating system. GOOGLE

The video game universe in 2012 is a study in extremes.

At one end, you have the old guard striving to produce mass-appeal blockbusters. At the other end, you have a thriving community of independent game developers scrambling to find an audience for their idiosyncratic visions. Can’t we all just get along?

Turns out, we can. For while some industry leaders are worried (and not without cause) about “disruptive” trends — social-media games, free-to-play models, the switch from disc-based media to digital delivery — video games are blossoming creatively. This fall, during the height of the pre-holiday game release calendar, I found myself bouncing among games as diverse as the bombastic Halo 4, the artsy The Unfinished Swan and the quick-hit trivia game SongPop. Some of my favorite games this year have benefited from both sides working together. The smaller studios get exposure on huge platforms like Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network. The big publishers seem more willing to invite a little quirkiness into their big-budget behemoths. Gamers win.

1. Dishonored (Bethesda Softworks, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC): Arkane Studios’ revenge drama combined a witty plot, crisp gameplay and an uncommonly distinctive milieu, setting a supernaturally gifted assassin loose in a gloriously decadent, steampunk-influenced city.

2. Mass Effect 3 (Electronic Arts, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, PC): No 2012 game was more ambitious than BioWare’s sweeping space opera. Yes, the ending was a little bumpy, but the fearless Commander Shepard’s last journey across the cosmos provided dozens of thrilling moments.

3. The Walking Dead (Telltale Games, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, iOS): This moving adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comics dodged the predictable zombie bloodbath in favor of a finely tuned character study of two survivors: Lee, an escaped convict, and Clementine, the 8-year-old girl he’s committed to protect.

4. Journey (Thatgamecompany, for the PlayStation 3): A nameless figure trudges across a desert toward a glowing light. Simple enough, but gorgeous visuals, haunting music and the need to communicate, wordlessly, with companions you meet along the way translate into something that’s almost profound.

5. Borderlands 2 (2K Games, for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC): Gearbox Software’s gleeful mashup of first-person shooting, role-playing and lootcollecting conventions gets bigger and badder, but what stuck with me most were the often hilarious encounters with the damaged citizens of the godforsaken planet Pandora.

You turn to us.

The big publishers seem more willing to invite a little quirkiness into their big-budget behemoths.

Gamers win.

Coca comenta que en algún punto se arrepintió de no ser arquitecto, porque la arquitectura ha sido su pasión desde la preparatoria, cuando tomó clases de arquitectura.

William Lumpkins, arquitecto/ artista que construyó una casa con energía solar pasiva en los 1930s, se convirtió en su amigo y le dijo que no se preocupara por no ser arquitecto.

“Me dijo, `El diseño está en tu sangre. Tú ya haces lo que te gusta. No necesitas ser un arquitecto´”.

En su travesía de concientización sobre energía alternativa, derechos del agua, viviendas rurales y desarrollo económico, Coca se ha involucrado en múltiples proyectos de educación y consultoría. Ha sido instructor de tec-

nología de invernaderos en la Universidad New Mexico Highlands, consultor para la capacitación de energía solar del Eight Indian Pueblos Council y director de la Cooperativa Santa Fe Community Solar. Ésta es sólo una lista parcial. El hombre, a pesar de su operación de espalda, se muestra infatigable.

“Fue mi abuela, Natividad García Gonzales, quien me inspiró a regresar algo a mi comunidad”, comenta Coca.

“Cuando era pequeño recuerdo me decía, `Michael, si tienes el privilegio de una educación, lo mejor que puedes hacer es ayudar a tu gente´.

Sólo trato de vivir sus palabras”.

Grampo ‘hace torture al Diablo’

E

sa tarde when Canutito came back de la escuela, Grama Cuca said to him, “Ándale m’hijo, get ready porque tonight vamos a la iglesia to watch ‘Los Pastores’.”

“What are ‘Los Pastores’, grama?” Canutito asked.

“It is el Christmas play,” began Grama Cuca, “about unos shepherds que están cuidando their borregas at Larry Torres night cuando Growing up suddenly Spanglish they see una estrella muy brillante shining in the sky. Right next to la estrella, they also see a un coro de angels cantando glorias a Dios.

Pero, they are not los únicos who have seen the star. También, el Diablo has seen it y va pa’l campo de los pastores to try to confuse them para que no vayan to Bethlehem. El play también tiene a un holy hermit who gets tempted por el Diablo to steal a una pastora named Gila y también tiene a un lazy bum que se llama Bartolo. I think you will enjoy esta dramatización, m’hijo,” grama concluded.

“That sounds muy cool!”

Canutito exclaimed.

Grampo brought the old troca around y toda la familia jumped into it. Llegaron at the church con todos sus neighbors, and they sat en los pews closest to the front instead de sentarse en los pews closest to the back como grampo liked to do todos los Sundays.

El play got underway cuando los pastores all came into la iglesia singing de la noche que estaba muy fría. They made una pretend fire, and they lay down a dormir.

Suddenly el Diablo gave a big yell e hizo rush in. He was todo scary y Canutito tried to hide detrás de Grama Cuca. “¿Qué pasa, m’hijo,” grama whispered to him. “¿Qué no sabes que to get rid of the Devil todo lo que tienes que hacer es to make the sign of the cross y se hace disappear?”

Just en ese momento el Diablo rushed over to where la familia was sitting. Grama Cuca and Canutito made the sign de la Cruz at him con sus fingers. Pero Grampo Caralampio nomás threw him el dedo. Grama Cuca y Canutito tried not to look at el Diablo; grampo stepped on his cola.

El Diablo almost forgot his lines porque su tail estaba trampada under grampo’s pie. He pulled and pulled, howling como un coyote, pero grampo wouldn’t let him go. Finally he ran back on stage sin cola and his tail stayed trapped por el zapato del grampo.

He look kind of funny trying to be todo malo con un little stub of a tail sticking out por detrás.

Grampo just picked up la cola del Diablo at waved it around como un propeller. “¡Estate quieto, viejo!” Grama Cuca rebuked him. “¡Vas a hacer ruin el play para todos los demás!”

Pero grampo estaba determinado de get al Diablo todo pissed off. Cuando el Diablo went over to have una sword fight con el Ángel Miguel, grampo started cheering for the angel by yelling “Cut off sus cuernos! Cut off sus cuernos!

“Cut off his whats?” Canutito whispered to grama.

“Shh, m’hijo,” she whispered pa’atrás.

And sure enough, Grampo Caralampio hizo distract al angel so much que he accidentally cut off los horns del Devil.

“Was that supposed to happen, grama?” Canutito asked her.

“No!” Grama replied toda furiosa. “Your grampo is acting más como el Diablo que el Diablo.”

“Maybe you should cut off grampo’s cuernos, grama,” Canutito suggested.

“Believe you me,” Grama Cuca said entre los dientes, “I’d like to cut off otra cosa de tu grampo …”

FAMILY Meet the new minivan

More cyclists turning to cargo bikes to haul families around

By Phuong Le

The Associated Press

S

EATTLE — One fisherman uses a bike to deliver hundreds of pounds of salmon to local markets. A mom who regularly shuttles her two kids around town once tried to haul a twin mattress home. And some companies are using the bikes to deliver beer kegs or pick up recycling.

Cyclists are pushing the limits of what they can haul on cargo bikes — sturdy twowheelers built to haul lots of stuff. The so-called SUV of bicycles are increasingly popular in pedal-friendly communities, from Washington state to Massachusetts.

Families are using the bikes to do everything they did on four wheels — schlepping kids to school, hauling groceries or running errands — without the hassle of finding parking. Some do it to help the environment in a small way or get exercise, while others say it is an easier, more fun way to get around.

Madi Carlson pedals as her sons, Rijder, 4, right, and Brandt, 6, ride aboard the family cargo bike last month in Seattle.

ELAINE THOMPSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

“[Our] bike has turned into our go everywhere minivan,” said Julian Davies, a Seattle physician who regularly hauls his two kids in a cargo bike.

Companies also are using bikes to deliver beer around Portland, Ore., collect recycling in Cambridge, Mass., or pick up dirty laundry in Philadelphia.

Cargo bikes are common in countries like Denmark and the Netherlands, but they’re catching on in the U.S. Companies such Xtracycle, Yuba and Metrofiets are catering to this niche, while major bike makers like Trek also are developing their own lines.

It’s still in the early adopter phase, but “it’s picking up steam,” said Andy Clarke, president of the League of American Bicyclists. “It’s a reflection of the growing utility of cycling, and the propensity to use bikes for more and more activities.

It’s giving people more options and flexibility.”

Cargo bikes can refer to any bike that hauls heavy loads.

Many models out now are built to handle multiple people or loads up to about 400 pounds on a single frame. They can be a foot or two longer than typical bikes, and are often outfitted with a wheelbarrow-like box

Question: My 5-year-old son is an only child whom I homeschool. He talks back, argues and generally wears me down. I need help getting to him to realize that no is no, that I mean what I say. I know I’m the problem. Help!

Answer: Better that you have come to grips now with the fact that you are the problem than when he’s much older and these difficulties have acquired much more momentum.

Before giving you some advice, I have to repeat what I’ve said several times before in this column: I do not recommend homeschooling when the child in question is disobedient, disrespectful and generally difficult to “control.” Pre-existing discipline problems are counterproductive to an effective homeschool environment.

Discipline problems should be solved before homeschooling is attempted. So the John first recommendation I’m going to tender Rosemond for your consideration is that you send Living With your son to “regular” school until you get Children his behavior under control.

Today’s parents believe discipline is a technology involving the manipulation of reward and punishment. In other words, they believe discipline is accomplished through the proper use of consequences. The fact is that whereas consequences are sometimes needed, more with some kids than others, the proper discipline of a child is primarily a matter of employing authoritative speech, including authoritative body language.

Stand upright. When I speak on proper discipline, I emphasize the need for parents to “act like superior beings.”

Learn to employ what I call “leadership speech” when giving instructions and communicating decisions. Use the fewest words possible, come straight to the point, and do not give explanations.

Wrong way: (The parent is scrunched down, hands on knees) “Honey, it would really help Mommy if you’d pick up the toys in the living room and put them away so my friend Susan and I can use that room to talk and have coffee in without a lot of distractions. Will you do that for Mommy, OK?” To an instruction communicated in that wimpy fashion, a child is likely to say, “I was here first! Why do I have to move?

And you never let me have anything to drink in here! No!” Mind you, the problem has been created by the parent. The child is only responding to the parent’s nonauthoritative presentation.

Right way: (The parent is standing upright) “I need you to pick up these toys and move them to another room. I’ll be back in a few minutes to see that it’s done.” (And then, walk away. Standing there will invite resistance.)

If, as you’re walking away, the child asks “Why?” stop, turn around, and say, “Because I said so. Any other questions?”

And then leave the scene.

So, what if the parent comes back in the room and the toys aren’t picked up? Ah! Now a consequence is called for. But proper “leadership speech” will reduce the need for consequences by at least 50 percent within a month. First, stop repeating yourself. Give your child any instruction once, and once only. Second, pick the toys up yourself. Say nothing. Just pick them up. And then, immediately after dinner that evening, inform the child that he’s going to bed. He is, after all, too tired to pick up his toys when told. When it comes to consequences, be consistent, but do not be predictable.

or shelf, in front or back. Some cost between $1,000 and $5,000.

“If you want to park your car, this is the way to go,” said Joel Grover, co-owner of Splendid Cycles in Portland, Ore. The shop opened four years ago mostly to sell to businesses, but quickly began catering to families who wanted wheels to handle more than one kid.

“We’re reaching a point where all these cities are encouraging people to go places by bike,” coowner Barb Grover said.

Seattle dad Davies has logged about 2,000 miles on his cargo bike. A rain cover and electric assist helps him power through Seattle’s rain and hilly terrain.

His two young kids sit in a large front box built between the handlebars and front wheel.

It’s more convenient to take the bike for errands because it’s easier to park, he said. But he enjoys the social aspect of being able to chat with his kids as he rides.

Madi Carlson, 41, regularly schlepps her two young kids along with their bikes on her pink long-tail bike, which has kids seats mounted over the rear of the bike. The three usually cover 10 miles a day, riding between school, home, playdates and errands.

Temple marks holidays with late latke lunch “ It’s more important to do it than worrying about the appropriate time. It gives us an anchor during this

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

A sudden snowstorm and icy roads late last month forced a local Jewish community to postpone its plans to celebrate the overlap of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving, an event that last happened nearly 100 years ago.

Undeterred, Temple Beth Shalom on Sunday hosted its annual Hanukkah lunch, complete with traditional Jewish foods, such as latkes, and Thanksgiving trimmings, such as cranberry sauce.

Rabbi Marvin Schwab of Temple Beth Shalom said the timing was off, but ultimately that was not important.

“It’s more important to do it than worrying about the appropriate time,” he said. “It gives us an anchor during this time of year.”

And Schwab’s congregation appeared to agree with him. At least 200 people flocked to the temple to laugh, chat and, most importantly, eat.

ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico was bracing for another round of low temperatures and snow on Sunday night after having been hit by a winter blast over the last several days.

Sunday’s high temperatures were 10 to 20 degrees lower than usual and contributed to difficult driving conditions across Northern New Mexico.

Two to 4 inches of snow were expected to fall Sunday night and Monday morning in the central part of the state.

Monday’s high temperatures are expected to be in the upper teens to mid-20s in Santa Fe. The frigid air is expected to continue making it difficult to travel on certain roads.

Treat gun violence like an epidemic

I

s it possible to predict who is most likely to die at the hands of a gun? Not shootings like those at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, the movie theater in Aurora, Colo., or the Washington Navy Yard, but the all-toocommon shootings that occur in neighborhoods across the country.

The idea is not far-fetched if one drills down into the nature of gun violence, which, in the way it is transmitted, bears striking similarities to public health epidemics such as cholera in Haiti or HIV/ AIDS in the United States.

Epidemics of any kind are not random. HIV is a bloodborne pathogen transmitted primarily through sex or intravenous drug use. Once its patterns of transmission and the communities most affected were identified in the United States, extensive public health campaigns helped transform AIDS from an always-fatal disease into one that is chronic and manageable for many of those infected.

Along the same lines, a cholera epidemic exploded in Haiti in 2010 when sewage from a base housing United Nations peacekeepers leaked

Gun violence spreads like HIV infection: You’re more likely to “catch” the disease if you engage in risky behaviors with someone who might be infected. into a nearby river that supplied drinking water. The transmission, far from random, ultimately killed more than 8,000 Haitians.

So it is with gun violence.

There are patterns of transmission in the United States that go beyond aggregate factors such as race, age, gender and income. On an individual level, social networks — the people one hangs out with — can predict a given person’s likelihood of being shot and killed.

In a study published last month in the American Journal of Public Health, my colleague Christopher Wildeman and I applied the science of social networks to patterns of gun homicide in Chicago.

The idea is straightforward: Treat gun homicide like a blood-borne pathogen, something transmitted from person to person through specific risky behaviors. Put another

way, gun violence is not an airborne pathogen: You don’t catch a bullet like you catch a cold.

More than 40 percent of all gun homicides in the study occurred within a network of 3,100 people, roughly 4 percent of the community’s population. Simply being among the 4 percent increased a person’s odds of being killed by a gun by 900 percent.

These numbers tell us that gun violence spreads like HIV infection: You’re more likely to “catch” the disease if you engage in risky behaviors with someone who might be infected. And it’s not just people’s friends who affect their likelihood of getting shot, but also their friends’ friends. This is similar to the transmission of HIV: Your current partner’s past sexual partners affect your exposure, even if you don’t know them.

In the case of gun homicide, seemingly random victims end up “in the wrong place at the wrong time” by indirect exposure, such as getting a ride from a friend’s cousin or by going to the party of a friend’s friend.

In these cases, victimization is tragic but not random.

Understanding the networked nature of gun violence has important implications for how it can be addressed. Prevention efforts can be directed toward those individuals and communities most susceptible to the infection. The solution is not broad, sweeping policies, such as New York’s “stop and frisk” or mass arrests, but the opposite: highly targeted efforts to reach specific people in specific places, akin to providing clean needles to drug users to prevent the spread of HIV. By studying gun violence like we study disease, we, as a society, can improve our chances of discovering who has a greater chance of being shot and focus resources to police better, smarter and more fairly.

U.S. education approach is all wrong

I

just read this article on CNN: “Shanghai teens top international education ranking, OECD says.” The USA didn’t fare well, which was no surprise. We mess with education all the time, and it never seems to get any better.

One simple statement in this article says so much: “Practice and hard work go a long way towards developing each student’s potential, but students can only achieve at the highest levels when they believe that they are in control of their success and that they are capable of achieving at high levels.” And this: “In China and Shanghai, you have nine out of ten students telling you, ‘It depends on me. If I invest the effort, my teachers are going to help me to be successful.’ ” And finally, this: “A lot of it is that the students are engaged in learning. The parents, the students, the community are engaged in making sure their child succeeds.”

elieve regulations are an unnecessary burden placed by over-reaching government on industry?

Look no further than what is happening in Mexico when it comes to the manufacture of cars for export. Without laws or standards, business will do what is best for the bottom line, even if it costs human lives.

In Mexico — now the world’s fourth-largest auto exporter — cars and trucks are built for safety only if auto makers such as General Motors or Nissan are exporting them to countries that demand safety.

Safer vehicles are equipped with features such as antilock braking systems, electronic stability control and more than two air bags per car or truck. Vehicles headed to the United States or Europe meet such standards. Laws require them. But cars being sold in Mexico or the rest of Latin America go without (although new laws in Brazil and Argentina will begin demanding better, including antilock braking systems by next year).

Because the cars are being sold for about the same price as in the U.S. or Europe — and sometimes more — automobile companies increase the bottom line with the cheaper, less safe cars. There’s a cost, though. More Mexicans are dying in car crashes.

An Associated Press story by Adriana Gómez Licón put this in perspective: “In 2011, nearly 5,000 drivers and passengers in Mexico died in accidents, a 58 percent increase since 2001, according to the latest available data from the country’s transportation department. Over the same decade, the U.S. reduced the number of auto-related fatalities by 40 percent. The death rate in Mexico, when comparing fatalities with the size of the car fleet, is more than 3.5 times that of the U.S.” Think about those numbers. U.S. auto-related fatalities down by 40 percent. Mexican deaths up by 58 percent.

With the $30 billion auto industry a big player in Mexico’s economic comeback, even consumer advocates believe changing the system will be difficult. Change doesn’t have to happen because of new laws. Auto companies and their executives could do the right thing and put the lives of the people who buy their cars ahead of excessive profit. Or government should do its job and regulate industries that choose profit over people.

Without laws, without standards, companies will concentrate on making a buck. We know this in the United States because of our history.

In the United States, citizens are safer because an iconoclast named Ralph Nader, back in 1965, wrote Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile. He showed a pattern of behavior on the part of car manufacturers. They did not want to spend money to make cars safer. His muckraking book led to the passage of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966, seatbelt laws in 49 states and other road-safety initiatives.

Mexico, and Mexican citizens, will have to find their own way to improving car safety. The companies, of course, could change their way of doing business and just make safer cars for everyone. What a concept! Do the right thing, no regulations required.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 9, 1913: DEMING — The generous people of the city have arranged to give all poor people who are worthy some remembrance at Christmas time. The Graphic will receive the cash subscriptions for the purchase of necessary articles, clothing and food and such other gifts as will be necessary, and Secretary Pennington of the Adelphi club will receive gifts of clothing, groceries and other things that are donated at the Adelphi club rooms.

The movement has struck a very popular chord and will work in harmony with the public schools, where the practice has been in vogue for a number of years.

Dec. 9, 1963: The S.S. National Defender will follow the same route as the S.S. Manhattan on Thursday, and the last of New Mexico’s so-called navy will be gone. The State Investment Council today approved the final sale resolution of the $14.68 million mortgage on the Defender. The mortgage will be sold Thursday to the Prudential Insurance Co., which also purchased the mortgage on the S.S. Manhattan last month from the state. The sales will leave $34.28 million in the state investment fund to be reinvested in other securities at a later date by the council.

Dec. 9, 1988: New Mexicans will have to dig deeper into their pockets at the gas pumps if lawmakers approve a proposed bill to increase the state tax on gasoline by 2 cents per gallon.

Newsmakers Boyle says Asperger’s diagnosis was a relief

Susan Boyle

LONDON — Singer Susan Boyle says she has been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism — and feels relief at finally having the right label for her condition.

Boyle told the Observer newspaper that she saw a specialist a year ago, who told her she had Asperger’s and an above-average IQ. “I have always known that I have had an unfair label put upon me,” Boyle said in the interview, published Sunday. “Now, I have a clearer understanding of what’s wrong, and I feel relieved and a bit more relaxed about myself.”

‘Gravity,’ ‘Her’ tie for L.A. Film Critics top honor The space odyssey Gravity and the futuristic romance Her tied for best picture from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.

WASHINGTON — The “Piano Man” who became one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time with such hits as “Just the Way You Are,” “Uptown Girl” and “Allentown” was awarded the nation’s highest honor Sunday for influencing American culture through the arts.

Billy Joel joined Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, opera star Martina Arroyo and actress Shirley MacLaine in receiving the Kennedy Center Honors. All of them have been playing music, dancing or singing since they were children — and they have never stopped.

Joel said the honor stands apart from his six Grammys.

“This is different. It’s our nation’s capital,” he said. “This is coming more from my country than just people who come to see me. It’s a little overwhelming.”

The 64-year-old musician born in the Bronx has been playing the piano since he was a boy, growing up on New York’s Long Island. There was always music in the house, he said. His mother sang. His father played the piano.

Impressing girls, though, is what hooked Joel into making a career of music, he said.

President Barack Obama saluted the honorees Sunday night, and top entertainers will offer tribute performances for each honoree. The show will be broadcast Dec. 29.

“The diverse group of extraordinary individuals we honor today haven’t just proven themselves to be the best of the best,” Obama said.

“Despite all their success, all their fame, they’ve remained true to themselves — and inspired the rest of us to do the same.”

On Saturday night, Secretary of State John Kerry hosted the honorees for a black-tie dinner at the State Department.

Garth Brooks toasted Joel at

the dinner, saying his legacy would live on for generations.

He said Joel has a special talent for writing songs about everyday people, from steel workers in “Allentown” to soldiers fighting in Vietnam in “Goodnight Saigon.”

Santana, 66, a Mexican immigrant who began learning English from American television, is one of only a few Latinos who have received the honor.

Kerry said Santana brought the beauty of Latin culture and its rhythms and influences to the American mainstream.

“We love the music you made, not because it’s Latin, but frankly because it is so very American,” Kerry said.

Hancock, 73, got his start at the piano at age 7 while growing up in Chicago. Soon he was playing Mozart and discovered jazz in high school.

He joined the Miles Davis Quintet in 1963 and later set out to create his own sounds, fusing jazz, funk, pop, gospel, soul and the blues. He has won an Oscar and 14 Grammy Awards so far.

Arroyo found opera while imitating the singers outside an opera workshop when she was growing up in Harlem. Soon she was signing a contract with New York’s Metropolitan Opera and had a breakthrough with Aida in 1965.

She went on to star in the great opera houses of London, Paris and Vienna.

Opera star Jessye Norman said Arroyo, now 76, has a voice “that makes you happy to be alive, just to be in her audience.”

MacLaine, 79, has been acting on stage and screen for six decades ever since she began ballet at age 3. Her film debut came in 1955’s The Trouble with Harry, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and she won the Oscar for best actress for Terms of Endearment in 1983.

More recently she’s been playing a role in Downton Abbey on PBS.

Florida St.-Auburn title game to usher out BCS era

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press

Auburn teammates hoist the SEC Championship Trophy following their Saturday victory over Missouri in the SEC Championship Game at Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

MICKEY WELSHV/MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER/AP

As college football prepares for the final Bowl Championship Series, featuring a Florida StateAuburn championship game, it’s easy to see why the coming fourteam playoff won’t solve all the postseason problems.

Heck, we might just miss the BCS. Maybe?

It sort of worked out this season. Top-ranked Florida State (13-0) was the only team to get through the regular season

unbeaten, and the Seminoles did it in dominating fashion. Auburn (12-1) won the Southeastern Conference, and among the teams with imperfect records the Tigers’ resume is best.

“We all complain about the BCS, but isn’t it funny how often they get it right,” Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said.

The pairings became official Sunday night when the final BCS standings came out. There was no question about 1 and 2. It’ll be the ‘Noles and Tigers at the Rose Bowl on Jan. 6 for the national

championship.

In the other marquee bowls: u Alabama will play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. u Clemson will play Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. u Michigan State will play Stanford in the Rose Bowl. u Baylor will play UCF in the Fiesta Bowl.

Of course, Big 12 champion Baylor (11-1) and Big Ten champion Michigan State (12-1) might argue with that top two. But over 16 seasons college football fans have built up what can be called

BCS acceptance, learning to live with the fact that there is only room for two.

Fans of particularly aggrieved teams (2000 Miami, 2004 Auburn, 2008 Texas, just to name a few) still burn over the slights. Generally, though, by the time the championship game kicked off, most everybody was on board. And only eight times before the BCS did No. 1 play No. 2 in a bowl game.

The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — With bowl bids coming fast and furious on Sunday, almost lost in the mix was the news that Colorado State and Washington State had accepted invitations to take part in the upcoming Gildan New Mexico Bowl.

The game will be Dec. 21 at University Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon.

Colorado State finished third in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference, going 7-6 overall with a 5-3 mark in league play. This will be the Rams’ second trip to the New Mexico Bowl. They beat Fresno State in the 2008 game.

“Head Coach Jim McElwain is building something special in Fort Collins and we are very happy to be able to bring the Rams to New Mexico,” said Jeff Siembieda, executive director of the bowl game. “This is a dynamic, fun team with a tremendous fan base who has been very clear: they want to be in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl. People around the country and here in Albuquerque are going to love watching the Rams help kick off the bowl season.”

Washington State finished 6-6 overall, 4-5 in the North Division of the Pac-12. The Cougars started the season 3-1, including a 10-7 win over then-25th ranked USC in the Los Angeles Coliseum. They have dropped four of their last games.

Coached by Mike Leach, Washington State hasn’t been to a bowl game since beating Texas in the 2003 Holiday Bowl. Among the Cougars’ losses this season are Auburn, Stanford, Oregon and Arizona State.

Colorado State is the only school in the country with both a 3,000yard passer and 1,500-yard rusher.

Running back Kapri Bibbs leads the nation in total touchdowns (28) and rushing touchdowns (28) and ranks sixth in rushing yards (1,572).

Quarterback Garrett Grayson ranks 16th in the nation in passing yards with a school-record 3,327 and ranks 22nd in completions per game (20.5).

Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday is fourth in the country in passing yards with 4,187.

Tickets, which are on sale now, range from $25 to $40 and can be purchased at The University of New Mexico ticket office in The Pit, online at www.unmtickets.com, or by calling 925-5999.

SAN FRANCISCO rank Gore saw a huge hole with the clock ticking down and his team trailing, and went for it with everything he had.

Maybe not a season-saving 51-yard burst, but darn close to it.

The San Francisco 49ers are far from ready to hand over their twoyear division reign — and certainly not on their home field, where they rarely lose against the NFC West.

Phil Dawson kicked a 22-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining and the Niners held off the Seahawks 19-17 on Sunday, denying Seattle a chance to clinch the division at Candlestick Park.

“We’re playing for our lives,” wideout Anquan Boldin said. “We’re playing playoff football right now. It’s win or go home.”

F

Gore broke for his big gain with just more than four minutes left, sparking the key 11-play, 76-yard drive that helped the 49ers (9-4) stop the playoff-bound Seahawks (11-2) from grabbing away the West in San Francisco.

Dawson’s fourth field goal gave him 20 successful attempts in a row, a franchise record topping Joe Nedney’s 18 consecutive kicks in 2006-07.

Russell Wilson threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to Luke Willson and Marshawn Lynch ran for an 11-yard score for Seattle, denied a franchisebest sixth road victory in its fifth straight loss at The ‘Stick.

Bowl, but they played a great game,” Seahawks defensive end Red Bryant said.

The 49ers are unbeaten at home against the West since losing to the Seahawks on Oct. 26, 2008.

In an emotionally fueled afternoon of missed chances and costly penalties, this rivalry game more than lived up to the hype.

“Enjoy it? Not the word I would use. It’s like going to the dentist chair for 3½ hours and getting a root canal,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said.

“These games are only for the tough.”

Eric Wright, who briefly left the game with a head injury, intercepted a

last-ditch deep pass by Wilson with 9 seconds left to seal it.

The two young quarterbacks finished with nearly the same stats.

Wilson went 15 of 25 for 199 yards and a touchdown with one interception, while counterpart Colin Kaepernick threw for 175 yards and completed 15 of his 29 passes with a TD and an interception.

Vernon Davis caught an 8-yard touchdown pass just before halftime to give San Francisco some momentum.

Southern Cal 17 24 22 18 - 24 Explanation Key The BCS Average is calculated by averaging the per cent totals of the Harris Interactive, USA Today Coaches and Computer polls. Team percentages are derived by dividing a team’s actual voting points by a maximum 2625 possible points in the Harris Interactive Poll and 1550 possible points in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Six computer rankings are used to determine the overall computer component. The highest and lowest ranking for each team is dropped, and the remaining four are added and divided to produce a Computer Rankings Percentage. The six computer ranking providers are Anderson & Hester, Richard Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Kenneth Massey, Jeff Sagarin, and Peter Wolfe.

Each computer ranking accounts for schedule strength in its formula.

Kobe: Lakers trailed during entire game Continued from Page B-1 game of the new season.

But the Lakers never led, and Toronto improbably snapped its five-game losing streak despite playing without forward Rudy Gay, who is expected to be traded to Sacramento on Monday as the centerpiece of an apparent seven-player deal.

Kyle Lowry had 23 points and eight assists, and DeMar DeRozan added 10 of his 26 points in the final 4:35 of the Raptors’ first road win over the Lakers in 11 tries since Dec. 28, 2001.

Nick Young scored 19 points for the Lakers, who went 10-9 without Bryant this season, forging a winning record without the five-time NBA champion and with little help from fellow injured MVP Steve Nash.

Adoring fans cheered Kobe’s every move and forgave every misstep, but Bryant couldn’t

rally the Lakers late despite another huge game by Los Angeles’ reserves. Xavier Henry scored 17 points off the bench, and Jodie Meeks added 14.

The Raptors had 11 players available after holding out Gay, center Aaron Gray and forward Quincy Acy, all set to head to the Kings in exchange for Greivis Vasquez, Patrick Patterson, John Salmons and Chuck Hayes.

That turned out to be plenty, thanks to two Los Angeles natives. Johnson, who attended nearby Westchester High School, went 14 for 17 and surpassed his previous career high early in the third quarter.

Johnson didn’t take a shot in the fourth, but USC product DeRozan and Lowry held off the Lakers.

The 35-year-old Bryant hadn’t played since getting hurt in a home game against Golden State on April 12, making two

free throws on a torn Achilles tendon before limping to the Staples Center locker room. He had immediate surgery, vowing to return close to full strength — and after working his way back into practices with the Lakers in the last few weeks, he pronounced himself ready.

The building had the buzz of a playoff game before the opening tip, with most fans in their seats with cameras trained on Bryant during opening warmups. The building erupted in loud applause at every mention of Kobe, who was introduced last in the starting lineup to the thunderous strains of “The Imperial March” — Darth Vader’s theme from “Star Wars.”

The crowd roared again the first time Bryant touched the ball, and he found Robert Sacre underneath the hoop for an assist on Los Angeles’ first possession. With his wife, Vanessa, and two daughters

sitting courtside, Bryant hit a free throw for his first point in the second quarter, followed shortly by an 8-foot, doublepump, left-handed bank shot for his first field goal.

Bryant added a signature 22-foot face-up jumper later in the period, but also showed clear signs of rust and unfamiliarity with his new teammates.

NOTES u The officials allowed Toronto C Jonas Valanciunas to make two free throws out of a timeout late in the first quarter, but belatedly realized Lowry was supposed to take the shots. They wiped the two points off the board and put Lowry back at the line, where he made both shots anyway. u Terrence Ross banked in a 53-footer at the first-quarter buzzer to put Toronto up 30-20. u Dodgers slugger Yasiel Puig sat near courtside in a gold Bryant jersey. George Lopez and Mindy Kaling also attended the game.

Celtics top Knicks in biggest rout of season The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jordan Crawford scored 23 points and the Boston Celtics had the most lopsided Celtics 114 victory in the NBA Knicks 73 this season, battering the New York Knicks 114-73 on Sunday.

Jared Sullinger added 21 points for the Celtics, who jumped to leads of 12-0, 18-1 and 25-3 and improved their Atlantic Division-leading record to 10-12.

The Celtics led 58-31 at halftime, then Crawford made four 3-pointers in a 34-point quarter that extended Boston’s lead to 92-56. The Celtics then

scored the first four points of the fourth for a 40-point bulge, triggering loud boos that would get louder at the final buzzer.

Boston went on to surpass a 38-point victory by the Clippers over Chicago that had been the NBA’s biggest victory this season.

Carmelo Anthony scored 19 points for the Knicks.

HEAT 110, PISTONS 95 In Auburn Hills, Mich., LeBron James had 24 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, and Miami beat Detroit, avenging a home loss to the Pistons less than a week ago.

Ray Allen added 18 points for the Heat, who were without Dwyane Wade but still shot 56 percent from the field and

11 of 28 from 3-point range.

Miami took a 16-5 lead, and although the Pistons fought back, the Heat went on a 13-2 run in the third quarter to make it 74-57.

Andre Drummond had 19 points and 14 rebounds for Detroit, which had its four-game winning streak snapped.

The Pistons beat the Heat 107-97 on Tuesday night.

THUNDER 118, PACERS 94 In Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant had 36 points and 10 rebounds and Oklahoma City turned a matchup of two of the NBA’s best teams into a blowout over Indiana.

The Thunder (15-4) improved to 10-0 at home.

Durant was 14 of 23 from the

field and Oklahoma City shot a season-best 61 percent (47 of 77). Russell Westbrook finished with 26 points, Reggie Jackson had 15 and Serge Ibaka 13 for the Thunder.

Paul George scored 32 points for the Pacers (18-3), who shot 40 percent (34 of 85).

ROCKETS 98, MAGIC 88 In Houston, Dwight Howard celebrated his 28th birthday in a big way, getting 20 points and 22 rebounds to lead Houston over Orlando.

James Harden scored 27 points and also had 10 assists and eight rebounds for the Rockets.

Terrence Jones added 16 points and 13 rebounds.

Glenn Davis scored 18 points in Orlando’s fifth straight loss.

BCS: Auburn finished a worst-to-first run Continued from Page B-1 Director Bill Hancock said.

“That was unthinkable before the BCS.” Now think about this season playing out under next season’s format. In the new world order known as the College Football Playoff, a selection committee will pick four teams to play in national semifinals. The winners play for the championship.

So how would a panel that includes Tom Osborne, Archie Manning and Condoleezza Rice sort out this season’s top four?

Florida State and Auburn, of course. And … Baylor and Michigan State? But what about Pac-12 champion Stanford (112)? Sure the Cardinal have two losses, but as Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said Saturday at the end of a week in which he and the rest of the

SEC practically begged voters to overlook the number in the loss column and focus on quality of opposition: “I have nine words. Strength of schedule.

Strength of schedule. Strength of schedule.”

Among this season’s best teams, Stanford played the toughest schedule.

And then there is two-time defending champion Alabama (11-1).

“We’re not a natural playoff sport,” said Duke coach David Cutcliffe, who was the offensive coordinator at Tennessee when it won the first BCS championship game against Florida State in the 1999 Fiesta Bowl. “I think we can make this work with four.

“And the reason I think we’ll make this work is I think what we’re all going to find out is the arguments are going to get

bigger. We’re going to go from a few schools being angry to a lot of schools being angry, and maybe that’s going to be a good thing. I just want to be in the argument.”

Florida State showed Cutcliffe how far away Duke is from being in the argument in a 45-7 victory Saturday night in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.

In a season defined by blowouts, the only drama for Florida State came off the field, when quarterback Jameis Winston was investigated for sexual assault. The state attorney said there was not enough evidence to charge the redshirt freshman with a crime two days before the Seminoles played Duke.

Winston is the runaway favorite to win the Heisman Trophy next Saturday.

Auburn completed its worst-

to-first run with a 59-42 victory in the Southeastern Conference championship game against Missouri. The Tigers didn’t win a conference game last season.

“This time last year, we were home, hanging out watching other guys play ball,” running back Tre Mason said. “That’s not really what you want to be doing.”

Mason ran for 304 yards and four TDs against Mizzou to make a late Heisman push of his own.

The Tigers have had some good fortune, including improbable plays to beat Georgia and Alabama.

That left Auburn to try to extend the SEC’s BCS championship game winning streak to eight games against the school that played for the first three BCS titles under Bobby Bowden.

Johnson: Finish was ‘a little too dramatic’ Continued from Page B-1 for the 14th and final time. It moves next year to Isleworth in Florida.

It was only the fourth time in his career that Woods failed to win when he had at least a twoshot lead going into the final round, and the second time at Sherwood. Graeme McDowell made up a four-shot deficit in the 2010 World Challenge and beat Woods in a playoff.

That wasn’t nearly as wild as the finish Sunday.

Johnson, who closed with a 4-under 68, nearly holed out from 88 yards on the par-5 16th hole. His tee shot on the par-3 17th hole covered the flag and landed 4 feet away for a birdie to tie for the lead. But he got caught up in the moment after Woods hit into the bunker, and his 8-iron came up woefully short and into hazard.

“It looked to me like it was going to be a very, very difficult 4 for him,” Johnson said about Woods’ bunker shot. “I’m trying to get somewhat around the hole and make a 5. It wasn’t exactly a full wedge shot, but it was one that I could be aggressive with — 58 yards, trying to

hit it about 52, 53, and we saw what it did.”

The ball took three bounces, the last one just beyond the hole, and it stopped and spun back a few inches into the cup.

“A little too dramatic for me,” Johnson said.

Woods hit a bunker shot just as exquisite to about 2 feet for a par that gave him a 70 and forced a playoff. They finished at 13-under 275.

In the playoff, Woods blinked first with a smooth 7-iron that tailed off to the right and into the same bunker, this lie even tougher. Johnson hit the green and two-putted for par, and while Woods hit another great shot out of the sand, his par putt to extend the playoff spun out of the left side of the cup.

“Zach, I don’t know how the last three iron shots didn’t go in the hole,” Woods said. “Pretty impressive what he did. He got me.”

Johnson won $1 million and should go to No. 9 in the world, the first time in his career he has been in the top 10.

Woods ended what he called a “damn good year” — five wins, the most of anyone in

the world — with a shocking loss to Johnson. Two years ago, Woods ended the longest drought of his career when he went birdie-birdie at Sherwood to beat Johnson by one shot.

Matt Kuchar (67) and Bubba Watson (70) tied for third at 9-under 279.

The attendance Sunday was 24,922, a record for any round in 14 years at Sherwood. Traffic outside the tony club in the Santa Monica foothills looked like an LA freeway in what could be the last chance in the near future to see Woods in southern California.

Woods appeared to have his sixth title at Sherwood sewed up when Johnson missed a short par putt on the 10th hole to fall four shots behind with eight holes to play. Woods had said on Saturday that Johnson wasn’t the kind of player who went away easily, and he was right.

Johnson picked up birdies on the 11th and 12th holes, and then got back in the game on the 14th when Woods threeputted from long range on the 14th, and Johnson saved his par with an 8-foot putt to get within one shot.

The rest of the way looked like the final rounds of a heavyweight fight, even if only one of them looked the part. Johnson has won 10 times on the PGA Tour including a major. What he lacks in power he makes up for with precision, and that was the case Sunday.

“The guy never ceases to amaze me,” Johnson said. “So yeah, I’ll take pride in the fact that I played against the best, and I got one.”

Johnson looked almost apologetic when Woods missed his par putt in the playoff, and it was shocking to see. No one from his generation has made more clutch putts than Woods, who spoke about the topic earlier in the week. But not this time.

It was not the way he wanted to leave Sherwood, where Woods has five wins and now five runner-up finishes. The only consolation was $400,000 for finishing second, bringing to just over $14 million the earnings he has donated to his foundation from the three tournaments (AT&T National, Deutsche Bank, World Challenge) that support his education programs.

Brees sharp, Saints beat Panthers

By Brett Martel

The Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS — It only took six days — and a return to the Superdome — for Drew Brees and Saints 31 the Saints to shake off Panthers 13 their worst performance this season and look like legitimate contenders again.

Brees passed for 313 yards and four touchdowns and New Orleans beat Carolina 31-13 on Sunday night to regain sole possession of first place in the NFC South and snap the Panthers’ winning streak at eight games.

“Love this offense. Love what Sean Payton’s put together,” Brees said. “I love the group of guys that I get a chance to play with.”

The Panthers’ defense had not allowed more than two touchdowns in a game this season until the Saints scored three in the second quarter alone, when Brees completed 14 of 16 passes for 159 yards.

The Saints also became the only team this season to score more than 24 points against Carolina, which entered the game No. 1 in scoring defense, allowing 13.1 points per game.

Brees’ first two scoring strikes went to Marques Colston, who made nine catches for 125 yards. Jimmy Graham added two TD catches, his second making it 31-6 in the fourth quarter.

“We just had great balance and a lot of guys made plays,” Brees said. “Marques came up with some huge catches, as did Jimmy. The line did a great job. We mixed and matched the personnel groups and what we were doing and defense did a great job of get-

ting us the ball and giving us opportunities.”

New Orleans sacked Cam Newton five times, and did not allow a touchdown until 5:15 remained. Junior Galette had three of New Orleans sacks and Cameron Jordan two.

Last Monday night, New Orleans went to Seattle looking to lead the race for the top playoff seeding in the NFC, only to fall 34-7, a result that also dropped the Saints into a tie with Carolina atop the division.

But the Saints looked sharp in their return home, where they are 7-0, and became the first team not to lose a turnover to the Panthers all season. Brees looked more like his usual self, completing 30 of 42 passes en route to becoming only the fifth QB in NFL history to eclipse 50,000

career yards passing.

“We knew the challenge, especially on a short week playing against a great divisional opponent in the Carolina Panthers,” Brees said.

“They had won eight in a row, so they were rolling.

“But we wanted to kind of hit our stride and get our swagger back and no better way than to come in the dome and do that. All three phases played exceptionally well tonight. We got a great team win.”

New Orleans now owns a one-game lead over the Panthers with three games to go, but also must travel to Carolina two weeks.

Newton was 22 of 34 passing for 160 yards, while DeAngelo Williams, returning from a quad contusion that sidelined him last week, rushed 13 times for 52 yards

as the Panthers struggled to move the ball on most of their drives after the first quarter, when Graham Gano hit two field goals. Gano had a third chance from 49 yards in the third quarter, but kicked it wide right.

Colston nearly had a third TD, but it was overturned on review and the Panthers mounted a goal-line stand to force a short field goal that made it 24-6 in the third quarter. The Panthers, however, were unable to build an momentum from that sequence.

New Orleans started slow and trailed 6-0, but seemed ignited by Darren Sproles’ 38-yard run late in the first quarter. That set up Colston’s first score on a 6-yard catch early in the second quarter.

On their next possession, the Saints drove 86 yards in 11 plays, capped by Colston’s second TD on a 15-yard pass.

“You’ve just got to see him throughout the week,” Colston said about Brees. “The man works like I’ve never seen. He deserves every bit of success that he gets.”

New Orleans got the ball again on its own 24 with 2:01 left in the half, and Brees immediately found Lance Moore for 21 yards, Colston for 19 yards and Sproles for 20, setting up Graham’s 5-yard TD catch.

The Panthers had the ball for 11:30 of the first quarter, showing an early ability to move the ball in the face of an energized and loud Superdome crowd, but only got two field goals out of it after New Orleans came up with clutch third-down stops, including one on third and goal from the 6.

sacked Robert Griffin III five times and Kirk Cousins once, and returned both a punt and a kickoff for a touchdown.

The score was 17-0 after the first quarter and 38-10 at halftime. Quintin Demps immediately answered the lone Redskins touchdown with a 95-yard kickoff return that resembled at times a winter stroll, part of a stunning tally of 321 return yards by Kansas City in the first half alone.

Tannehill completed 20 of 33 passes for 201 yards and three scores for the Dolphins (7-6). Miami won for the third time in its last four games.

Ben Roethlisberger passed for 349 yards and three scores but the Steelers (5-8) lost their second straight game. Antonio Brown raced into the end zone after a series of laterals on the final play, but officials ruled he stepped out of bounds before scoring.

CARDINALS 30, RAMS 10 In Glendale, Ariz., Carson Palmer completed 27 of 32 passes, 12 of them to Larry Fitzgerald, and the Cardinals ended an eight-game losing streak against NFC West foes.

Palmer, questionable for the game with a sore right elbow, threw for 269 yards and a touchdown as the Cardinals (8-5) won for the fifth time in six games.

Arizona’s Karlos Dansby returned an interception 23 yards for a touchdown and John Abraham tackled Kellen Clemens for a safety.

PACKERS 22, FALCONS 21 In Green Bay, Wis., Matt Flynn threw for 258 yards and the Packers’ struggling defense forced a key fourthquarter turnover to snap a five-game winless string.

Mike Neal’s sack forced Matt Ryan to fumble. Defensive lineman Johnny Jolly scooped up the loose ball and celebrated with a little belly dance at chilly Lambeau Field.

Four plays later, Flynn found Andrew Quarless for a 2-yard go-ahead score with about 12 minutes left for the Packers (6-6-1).

DOLPHINS 34, STEELERS 28 In Pittsburgh, Charles Clay caught two touchdown passes, including a 12-yard strike from Ryan Tannehill with 2:53 remaining.

Daniel Thomas ran for 105 yards and a score. His zig-zag 55-yard burst at snowy Heinz Field set up Clay’s winner.

Chris Ivory had a touchdown run, Nick Folk kicked three field goals and

Antonio Allen blocked a punt and returned it for a score to help the Jets (6-7) in the AFC playoff hunt. Smith ended a miserable stretch that included getting benched last week by throwing his first touchdown toss since Week 7.

CHARGERS 37, GIANTS 14 In San Diego, Philip Rivers found rookie Keenan Allen for two of his three touchdown passes, and the Chargers kept alive their long-shot playoff hopes.

Manning dropped to 0-3 against San Diego since 2004, when the Chargers took him with the No. 1 overall draft pick and then sent him to the Giants for Rivers and a handful of draft picks. The Giants (5-8) were knocked out of playoff contention.

Manning was picked off twice, the first time when Donald Butler came up with a deflected pass midway through the first quarter.

BUCCANEERS 27, BILLS 6 In Tampa, Fla., Mike Glennon threw two touchdown passes and Bobby Rainey scored on an 80-yard run on the second play of the day. The Bucs (4-9) intercepted EJ Manuel four times en route to their fourth win in five games following an 0-8 start.

Manuel, Buffalo’s first-round draft pick out of Florida State, was sacked seven times and doubled his interception total for the season.

Woman believes she was molested

Dear Annie: I am a woman in my mid-30s, and think I may have been molested when I was young. I have little memory of my childhood up until age 13. But I do know that when my friends played with their Barbie dolls, they had her driving around, going on dates and dressing up pretty. I pretended she was having sex with Ken. Other kids played house, but I pretended to be the dad and would get on top of my younger sister and rub against her. When I was 14, I made out with my 8-yearold stepcousin until his mother caught me, and for years after, he refused to talk to me. When I was 16, I kissed my best friend’s 10-year-old brother.

I don’t remember anything specifically. I only remember having a bad dream once that my dad molested me, and for years afterward, I didn’t want to be near him. Our relationship still feels kind of strained. I don’t know what to think anymore. What should I do? — Bewildered and Worried Dear Bewildered: We would not presume to tell you what happened to you as a child, if anything actually did, or whether it involved your father. We suggest you seek therapy, although we do not recommend those who claim to specialize in “recovered” memories of abuse. This type of therapy is not reliable. Ask your doctor to refer you.

Dear Annie: We have a family member who wishes for us not to contact him anymore. Both of his parents are deceased. What do we do? — Upset Relatives Dear Upset: You must respect his wishes, even though it seems cruel.

(We assume this family member is not under any type of duress from a partner who is trying to isolate him.) We would inform this relative that you will cease contact, as per his wishes. But add that you still

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep communication flowing, and refuse to be closed off. Establish your boundaries. Tonight: Be careful — you could overindulge!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Approach a matter differently, with more openness than in the past. You seem to want to move forward. Do not let a difficult friend or stern associate sap your strength. Tonight: Relax.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Allow your creativity to flourish when speaking to others or when working through problems. You will be amazed by the results. Tonight: Whatever feels right.

Cryptoquip

Chess quiz

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. © 2013 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

WHITE TO PLAY Hint: Stop check, get a queen.

Solution: 1. Qc8ch! Kh7 2. Qb8! (threatens 3. a7 and then a8(Q)) [Caruana-Nyback ’13].

Today in history Today is Monday, Dec. 9, the 343rd day of 2013. There are 22 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On Dec. 9, 1987, the first Palestinian intefadeh, or uprising, began as riots broke out in Gaza and spread to the West Bank, triggering a strong Israeli response.

Hocus Focus

care about him, and should he wish to resume contact, it always will be welcome.

Dear Annie: “Little Sister in Need” told you about her abusive older brother, and you told her to “stop taking it personally”? She wasn’t talking about disagreements. She cited his being “verbally, psychologically and at times physically abusive.”

You should have told her that what’s going on is abuse and, if he gets physical, constitutes domestic violence. She needs to talk to a domestic violence counselor and be alert for signs that he’s also abusing his wife and child. Odds are that he is. Abusers rarely limit themselves to just one victim. — Judy Dear Judy: Many readers agree with you, but we did not get the impression that the current abuse is physical. Sibling relationships are complicated, and there is often physical fighting and hitting when siblings are younger. While we don’t condone such behavior, we also know that the physical side usually stops when the siblings reach adulthood.

It does not necessarily carry over to his wife and child, nor does it seem so from her letter, although she certainly can investigate.

The fact that her brother continues to harangue her verbally indicates that he has anger and control issues.

He lashes out at his sister because this is the dynamic they have had for 20 years. If speaking to a therapist would be helpful for her, we agree that this is an excellent idea.

However, it also would help if she changed her response to her brother, not only because it would force him to change how he speaks to her, but also because it could improve her perception of her own strength in his presence. He is intimidating her, and she needs to stand up to him in a way that empowers her without exacerbating the situation.
