Study: Opening unused Rail Runner stop wouldn’t immediately worsen traffic

GOP, Dems both aiming for control in House Members of rival parties view about 10 districts as important battlegrounds By Milan Simonich The New Mexican

Republicans last controlled the New Mexico House of Representatives when Dwight Eisenhower was in his first term as president and Rocky Marciano ruled the world of boxing. The GOP says this is its year for a breakthrough. Of course, it said the same thing in 2012, when Republicans actually lost seats in the House. This time is different, said Rep. Nate Gentry, because there is no presidential election and no Obama wave. New Mexico’s wellfunded Republican governor, Susana Martinez, will head the party’s statewide slate of candidates, and that will help candidates down the ballot, he said. “I think it is possible for us to win the House,” said Gentry, R-Albuquerque. For Republicans to take control of the chamber for the first time since 1953, they need a net gain of three seats. Democrats now have a 37-33 edge, but they seemed like the underdog at times during this year’s 30-day legislative session. Two Democrats were too ill to serve in Santa Fe, and their absence made it impossible to push through a ballot issue calling for an increase in the statewide minimum wage. That measure required 36 votes. House Speaker Kenny Martinez, D-Grants, said 30-day legislative sessions in years with a gubernatorial election are always filled with heavy politicking. With Gov. Martinez seeking re-election and all 70 seats in the House on the fall ballot, Developer Merritt Brown, whose firm has a stake in the land adjacent to the Zia Road Rail Runner station, has been waiting for the state to complete its study on the possible impacts of opening the station. ‘We’ve been in a holding pattern,’ he said. ‘I need to be able to go through the report and analyze it and make some decisions from whatever this report’s recommendations are and then decide which way we’re going to go from there.’ CLYDE MUELLER/THE NEW MEXICAN

raffic at the corner of Zia Road and St. Francis Drive would continue to operate at acceptable levels even if a so-far-unused commuter train station were to open today. But by the year 2038, Zia would need an additional left turn lane and another through lane between St. Francis and Galisteo Road to handle a projected increase in eastbound traffic, according to a recently released study of the intersection. The traffic study was initiated by the state Department of Transportation in 2012 to look at the impacts of opening the Rail Runner Express station near the intersection. The Zia Road sta-

tion platform, built more than five years ago at a cost of about $1 million, has sat idle and enclosed by a chain-link fence due to disagreements over what should be allowed on private property next to the station. Additional improvements would be needed before it could open, including an access road. City Councilor Ron Trujillo, whose district includes the station, said he hopes the traffic study will put discussions about the future of the station — and the intersection — back on track. “It’s a shame that that kind of money was spent on that train station. Nothing is being used,” Trujillo said Friday. “If the whole intent was not to use that train station, I sure of heck could’ve found a better place to use that money.” The state Department of Transportation built the station on public right of way at the urging of

local officials. Part of the plan was for the owners of the adjacent land to build an access road to the station as part of a mixed-use development project. In 2011, after hearing from various neighborhood residents, the City Council decided the station should be designed only as a “kiss-andride” station — meaning there would be no parking lot. Santa Fe developer Merritt Brown, whose firm owns a stake in the adjoining land, said last week he’s been waiting for the report to be completed. “We’ve been in a holding pattern,” he said. “I need to be able to go through the report and analyze it and make some decisions from whatever this report’s recommendations are and then decide which way we’re going to go from there.”

E-cigarettes divide health experts Some say devices are path to tobacco, while others argue they will cause fewer to smoke By Sabrina Tavernise The New York Times

Dr. Michael Siegel, a hardcharging public health researcher at Boston University, argues that e-cigarettes could be the beginning of the end of smoking in America. He sees them as a disruptive innovation that could make cigarettes obsolete, like the computer did to the typewriter. But his former teacher and mentor, Stanton A. Glantz, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, is convinced that e-cigarettes may erase the hard-won progress achieved over the last half-century in reduc-

ing smoking. He predicts that the modern gadgetry will be a glittering gateway to the deadly, old-fashioned habit for children, and that adult smokers will stay hooked longer now that they can get a nicotine fix at their desks. These experts represent the two camps at war over the public health implications of e-cigarettes. The devices, intended to feed nicotine addiction without the toxic tar of conventional cigarettes, have divided a normally sedate public health community that had long been united in the fight against smoking and Big Tobacco. The essence of their disagreement comes down to a simple question: Will e-cigarettes cause more or fewer people to smoke? The answer matters. Cigarette smoking is still the single largest cause of preventable death in the United States, killing about 480,000 people a year.

Talk to explore perceptions of gun violence, mental illness By Staci Matlock The New Mexican

Most people with mental illnesses are not violent, and not everyone who uses a gun to kill others is mentally ill. But when a dangerous person with a gun commits some horrific crime — like shooting children in a Connecticut school or moviegoers in Colorado — the automatic assumption is that mass shooters are driven primarily by mental illness, said Jeffrey W. Swanson, a researcher and medical sociologist at Duke University. The assumption can lead to policies and laws that not only tread on privacy and paint an inaccurate picture of mental illness, but that don’t prevent gun violence from happening again, Swanson said. Many factors lead to people shooting other people, said Swanson, who is giving a free lecture on “The Truth About Gun Violence and Mental Illness” at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Center for Contemporary Arts’ Cinematheque, 1050 Old Pecos Trail. “We do have a big problem with firearm violence,” Swanson said. “But we need to do better at focusing on all the types of risks, not just people with mental illness.” The violence really comes down to the intersection of dangerous people and firearms, he said. “Even if it were possible to get rid of all the guns, we would still have dangerous people,” he said. He said the hardest thing to do is predict when someone will turn violent — whether or not mental illness is involved — and try to stop them. Some policies could help reduce access

NATION&WORLD Bills seek to tackle backlog of rape kits

In brief Missouri spelling bee runs out of words KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two Missouri students who went toe-to-toe for 66 rounds in the annual Jackson County spelling bee aren’t quite finished after event organizers ran out of words for the contest. Fifth-grader Sophia Hoffman of Lee’s Summit and Kush Sharma, a seventh-grader from Kansas City, buzzed through the list of words provided by the national bee, as well as 20 others plucked from the dictionary. At about 2 p.m. — five hours after the contest started — bee officials chose not to pull more words from the dictionary and instead decided to continue the competition March 8.

Governors: Health care repeal tricky WASHINGTON — The explosive politics of health care have divided the nation, but America’s governors, Republicans and Democrats alike, suggest that President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is here to stay. While governors from Connecticut to Louisiana sparred Sunday over how best to improve the nation’s economy, governors of both parties shared a far more pragmatic outlook on the controversial program known as “Obamacare” as millions of their constituents begin to be covered. The governors say a full repeal of the law would be complicated at best, if not impossible, as states move forward with implementation and begin covering millions of people — both by expanding Medicaid rolls for lower-income residents or through state or federal exchanges that offer federal subsidies to those who qualify.

Israeli forces fatally shoot U.S. killer SHARON PRISON, Israel — Israeli special forces raided a prison in central Israel on Sunday after an inmate stole a gun, shot several guards and barricaded himself inside the compound, killing the notorious prisoner who was serving time for a gruesome murder carried out in the U.S. Police identified the inmate as Samuel Sheinbein, an American who fled to Israel after murdering and dismembering another man in Maryland in 1997 and whose case sparked a high-profile row between the two allies. Police special forces rushed to this prison in central Israel after Sheinbein stole a weapon and shot three guards, wounding two of them seriously. He then barricaded himself inside the compound where a standoff ensued, with counter-terrorism units dispatched to the scene. The inmate then opened fire again, wounding three more guards, before the forces shot him dead, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. The Associated Press

big time. There’s no denying that,” said Dawn Nettles, a lottery critic from Texas who runs lotteryreport. com, which tracks the industry. “But how many people are going to max out their credit cards?” Supporters such as Grief say the lottery is voluntary, gives everyone a chance to dream big and avoids the need for tax increases. Critics admit they have mostly lost the argument. Lawmakers across the country over the last three decades have opened and expanded lotteries. Forty-three states now operate them, while organized political opposition has largely vanished. “The notion that any state would eliminate their lottery is just absurd,” said Patrick Pierce, a political scientist at St. Mary’s College and co-author of “Gambling Politics: State Government and the Business of Betting.” “States are looking for some quick money to stop the bleeding right now,” Pierce said. Increases in lottery revenues have helped maintain services in recent years during a tough time for state budgets, said David Gale, executive director of the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries. He said overall lottery revenues likely increased one or two percent in the budget year that ended last July, above the $68.7 billion of the previous year. In Massachusetts, cities and towns benefit when sales spike because lottery revenues are among the state’s “single largest source of unrestricted local aid,” said Beth Bresnahan, executive director of the state’s lottery.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With possibly hundreds of thousands of rape kits untested across the country, a number of states are proposing legislation to address backlogs that in at least one case dates back nearly three decades. In Memphis, Tenn., alone, there are more than 12,000 untested rape kits going back to the 1980s, according to the New York-based Rape Kit Action Project, which has been tracking the backlogs nationwide. In the entire state of Texas, there are about 16,000 untested kits collecting dust in police evidence rooms. Tennessee is among at least 17 states with proposals that range from requiring law enforcement agencies to inventory their rape kits to analyzing them in a certain amount of time. Three states — Colorado, Illinois and Texas — have passed laws that mandate a statewide accounting of untested rape kits. Most of the other states’ proposals favor the inventory measure that would require all law enforcement agencies that store rape kits to count the number of untested kits. Rape Project spokeswoman Natasha Alexenko estimates there are about 400,000 nationwide that fall into that category. “Until we enact this kind of legislation where we’re counting them, we really have no idea,” said Alexenko, a rape victim whose rape kit was finally tested after nearly 10 years, and her attacker was arrested after a match was found. Rape victim Meaghan Ybos of Memphis has been crusading for legislation to address the backlogs for several years. The 27-year-old was 16 when she was sexually assaulted in her suburban home in 2003. She underwent a forensic rape exam but never heard anything else about her kit. In 2012, she was watching the local news and learned police had arrested a suspected serial rapist in the same neighborhood where she lived. “I just knew it was the same person,” recalled Ybos, who called police, told them about her assault and persuaded them to reopen her case. Her rape kit was eventually examined, and the suspect’s DNA and that in her kit matched. The suspect pleaded guilty in her case and is currently incarcerated. But Ybos, who is also supporting a proposal to lift Tennessee’s eightyear statute of limitation on rapes, said it shouldn’t have taken her that long to get justice. “They never tried to process it until I called … and asked them,” Ybos said of her rape kit.

Taliban Parliament moves to dismantle old government attack Speaker to carry out duties of president, kills 21 who fled country Afghan soldiers UKRAINE

By David M. Herszenhorn The New York Times

KIEV, Ukraine — A day after President Viktor Yanukovych fled the Ukrainian capital and was removed from power by a unanimous vote in parliament, lawmakers moved swiftly Sunday to dismantle the remaining vestiges of his government by firing top cabinet members, including the foreign minister. With parliament, led by the speaker, Oleksandr Turchynov, firmly in control of the federal government — if not yet the country as a whole — lawmakers began an emergency session Sunday by adopting a law restoring state ownership of Yanukovych’s opulent presidential palace, which he had privatized. Parliament voted to grant Turchynov authority to carry out the duties of the presi-

dent of Ukraine, adding to his authority to lead the government that lawmakers had approved Saturday. Beyond that, parliament did not take any further action to appoint interim leaders, but speculation about an immediate major role for the freed former prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, was squashed Saturday afternoon when she issued a statement asking not to be considered for the post again. Depending on her health, Tymoshenko, who has complained of chronic back problems since she was jailed in 2011, may run for president in elections now scheduled for May 25, and many of her supporters are eager to build a campaign. In a sign of her still formidable political influence, Tymoshenko spoke by telephone Sunday with the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, as well as with Stefan Fule, a top European Union official, and with Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., Christopher S. Murphy, D-Conn, and Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill. Tymoshenko also met

with ambassadors from the United States and EU countries. Critics, including a small crowd of demonstrators gathered outside parliament, said Tymoshenko should bow out, making way for a new generation of leaders. Tymoshenko, long Yanukovych’s political rival, was released Saturday from a prison hospital in Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine and quickly made her way here to Kiev, the capital, where she appeared briefly in a wheelchair in Independence Square. Tymoshenko was jailed by Yanukovych after losing the presidential election in 2010. Many in Ukraine and the West believe that her conviction was politically motivated. Andriy Shevchenko, a member of parliament and the leader of Tymoshenko’s Fatherland Party, said that she would ultimately decide what role she envisioned for herself, based on her health. “It really depends on whether she wants to run our not,” Shevchenko said in an interview. “I think she has enough strength to be active in

politics.” In Kiev, Tymoshenko received an enthusiastic but not overly exuberant reception from the crowd in Independence Square. The response demonstrated her continued popularity and status as a symbol of opposition to Yanukovych but also underscored the apprehension that many Ukranians feel toward politicians deeply connected to a

government with a long history of corruption and mismanagement. Yanukovych, meanwhile, whose whereabouts remained unknown, appeared to be losing the support of even his former allies. On Sunday, Yanukovych’s Party of Regions, which days ago enjoyed a majority in parliament, released a statement blaming him for the recent violence.

Drug lord’s capture went down without a shot By Damien Cave The New York Times

MAZATLÁN, Mexico — They reacted here with utter disbelief. Joaquín Guzmán Loera, El Chapo, drug kingpin to the world, the Robin Hood of Sinaloa, had been arrested in his home state, in the resort town that is a loyal fief of his empire? “It was too easy,” said a young woman of model height, her back to the sea, her eyes fixed on the 12-story condominium where Mexican marines and U.S. agents grabbed him early Saturday morning. “No shootout, no final stand?” The takedown this weekend of the world’s most wanted man — the chief executive of what experts describe as the world’s most sophisticated narcotics enterprise, the Sinaloa cartel — upended long-held assumptions about

the impunity of Mexican mobsters. It also overturned long-lowered expectations of what was possible in the game of cat and mouse, or government versus outlaws, that has defined the drug war. Guzmán, after all, seemed untouchable, relying time and again on intimidation, bribery and local accommodation — even pride — to help him keep his freedom and his power. But the giant known as Shorty fell with an odd humility, awakened shirtless by the authorities before 7 a.m. Saturday. He neither died in a blaze of glory nor managed yet another daring escape; persistence carried him away. The details of the operation, recounted by American and Mexican officials and witnesses (most requested anonymity for their own protection)

show that Guzmán’s arrest, after countless near misses and narrow escapes, came down to a tight bond between the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Mexican navy, some wellJoaquín Guzmán kept secrets and a fair Loera amount of luck. Even as security cooperation between Mexico and the United States continued to be hampered by distrust at the highest levels of government, U.S. agents and Mexican marines worked together for weeks, until the moment of capture here when they crashed through the door of a fourth-floor apartment overlooking the Pacific.

It began with a meeting in early January. The DEA presented a body of intelligence information to Mexican navy officials, with whom they had worked closely before on successful operations. The Americans were not certain the marines would act. Mexican security forces were focused on another problem — the battle between the Knights Templar cartel and self-defense groups in Michoacán — and President Enrique Peña Nieto had made clear that the economy was his priority. Officials said there were local obstacles, too. Many Sinaloans considered Guzmán as a kind of favorite rebel son. His cartel has deep roots across the state, and some even see his operation as relatively benign in comparison to some newer groups that rely more on extortion and kidnapping.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Hundreds of heavily armed Taliban insurgents attacked army checkpoints in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, officials said, killing 21 soldiers in the deadliest single incident for the Afghan army in at least a year. In response to the assault — which also left several Afghan soldiers missing — President Hamid Karzai postponed a planned trip to Sri Lanka. Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, who is spokesman for the Defense Ministry, said “hundreds” of foreign and Afghan insurgents crossed the border to mount the attack, which took place in the remote and mountainous Ghazi Abad district of Kunar Province in the early morning hours. Azimi did not specify which border, but Kunar lies next to Pakistan. It’s a militant stronghold, and many Arab and other foreign insurgents are believed to operate there alongside the Afghan Taliban. The Taliban claimed responsibility for Sunday’s attack in an emailed statement. The group has escalated attacks in recent months as it tries to take advantage of the withdrawal of foreign troops at the end of 2014. Casualties among Afghan troops have been rising significantly since they took the lead in the war against the Taliban. Since the beginning of 2014, 84 Afghan army soldiers have been killed. Azimi said that 21 Afghan soldiers died and three others were wounded in the attack.

TAX TIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY: H&R Block Monica Hardeman, Enrolled Agent 27 Years DIVORCE CONSEQUENCES EXTEND TO TAX PITFALLS Major life events, including those involving changes in relationships, can have a big impact on how people file their taxes. Divorce falls into this category. H&R Block offers these tips to help people who are separated and divorced file their tax returns. Marital status change changes tax filing status Your marital status on Dec. 31 of the year you are filing tax returns for is a determinant in your filing status. This means taxpayers who are not divorced on that date must continue to use one of the filing statuses for married couples, which are married filing jointly and married filing separately. Being divorced could qualify you to file as head of household if you also meet these two conditions: • Paid more than half the cost of keeping up your home • Had a qualifying dependent living in your home more than half of the year. Divorced taxpayers who do not qualify to use the head of household status will generally file as single.

Who claims children as dependents is up to the parents In most cases, the custodial parent (the parent the children spend more nights with) will claim the children as their dependents. However, noncustodial parents can claim children as their dependents with the proper written consent of the custodial parent. If the custodial parent releases the exemptions, the noncustodial parent would also claim the Child Tax Credit for children who are under 17. The custodial parent, if eligible, would claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Child Care Credit and file as head of household. Injured/innocent spouse protection can provide relief Divorce, separation and remarriage can often prompt people to review their tax history and sometimes seek relief. These are the types of protection the IRS provides for eligible spouses: • If one spouse owes back taxes or has other past-due obligations (e.g., child support) for which the IRS can hold back some or all of a joint tax refund, the other spouse can request injured spouse relief o When injured spouse relief is granted, the injured spouse may be able to get their portion of a tax refund, while their spouse’s portion would offset the past-due debts • Married taxpayers who suspect a past joint tax return may have understated income and tax without their knowledge may seek relief from joint tax liability by requesting innocent spouse relief. This relief is available in these three categories, each with its own set of qualifications: o Innocent spouse relief o Separation of liability o Equitable relief – a recent change has removed the two-year time limit for requesting this specific type of relief, which the IRS says is often sought by people who faced difficult or intimidating situations, such as domestic abuse. When big changes – good, bad, happy and sad – happen in life there are often big tax changes to consider. To make sure you understand your tax outlook and are able to make sound financial decisions, consider meeting with a tax professional to discuss your individual situation.

The IRS needs to know about name changes – they impact timely refund processing After a name change, remember to request a new Social Security card with the new name. Your name on your tax return must match what the Social Security Administration has on file. If it doesn’t, it could take longer to process your tax return and delay the issuance of a tax refund. Alimony can be a deduction and taxable income Alimony is taxable and deductible. The payer may claim the payments as an above-the-line tax deduction, which means it can be deducted by taxpayers who don’t itemize and still reduce taxable income. The recipient must claim alimony as taxable income. For some recipients, it is beneficial to adjust the amount of withholding on their W-4 to help avoid having to pay all the taxes resulting from the alimony payments at one time. Making quarterly estimated tax payments is another option.

Financial planner = financial doctor Financial planners are a little like family doctors. They can be generalists or specialists, and the best ones help you keep your affairs nicely in balance so that you can live a long, enjoyable life. Legitimate professional financial planners have a college diploma or university degree, along with specialized training. Ask which professional

associations they belong to. Be sure to check that their advice is given independently; that means find out who pays them. It is recommended that you meet at least once a year with your financial planner, so that they can put a human face to your file and so that you can continue to be assured that he or she is a trustworthy professional.

to firearms for people who pose risks, such as requiring gun safes; developing owner-recognition technology, so a gun could only be used by its owner; and preventing people with a history of domestic violence or substance abuse from owning a firearm. Abusive homes, violent neighborhoods, social isolation, poverty and substance abuse are among other factors that contribute to people picking up guns and killing others. “You have to think about why a person is engaging in violent behavior,” Swanson said. Stable communities, safe homes and early intervention for substance abuse all could help reduce the chance of a person becoming violent enough to harm others, he said. And more support for mental health programs and education would help, too. Gun violence “is not a onething or two-thing problem. Like-

They are in safer districts for GOP incumbents than Fajardo. Other Republicans considered vulnerable by Democrats are Reps. Paul Pacheco of Albuquerque, Vickie Perea of Belen, Terry McMillan of Las Cruces and Sharon Clahchischilliage of the Four Corners area. McMillan’s 2012 election against Democrat Joanne Ferrary initially ended in tie — with each receiving 6,247 votes. After a recount, McMillan won by eight votes. Ferrary plans to challenge him again. Gov. Martinez appointed Perea to the House last year after Democratic Rep. Stephen Easley of Eldorado died. Democrats say they can recapture that seat. Pacheco won a tight race for an open seat two years ago. Clahchischilliage defeated Democratic Rep. Ray Begaye, who was engulfed in a scandal over his travel expenses. Democrats hope to find challengers to Pacheco and Clahchischilliage, saying both can be beaten.

Noble se reunió con el director del DIF estatal de Chihuahua quien le dio a conocer la necesidad de un albergue para niños de 11 años o mayores, ya que no es tan sencillo que los adopten debido a su edad. Noble y sus voluntarios aceptaron el reto y comenzaron la renovación de sus instalaciones y crearon un ambiente acogedor. Las reparaciones consistieron en pintura, electricidad, azulejos y trabajo de plomería, línea de drenaje, mejora en los baños para brindar más privacidad, una computadora y paquetes computacionales en Español, reconstrucción de una puerta de entrada más segura.

Grampo Caralampio came up to him y le preguntó, “Ei m’hijo, ¿what are you escribiendo?” “Oh hi, grampo,” answered el muchachito. “I was just haciendo un poco de research porque la teacher en la escuela asked us to find a un interesting historical character y hacer un book report about him. Y yo estuve searching y searching por alguien interesante pero I was having un poco de trouble jallando a someone. I tried George Washington Larry Torres primero pero él estaba kind of Growing up Spanglish boring. Entonces I tried de hallar algo about Florence Nightingale pero I didn’t hacer understand nada about la vida de una nurse. Finalmente I thought about escribiendo un reporte de los pharaohs de Egypt y aquí I found cosas muy interestantes sobre el King Tut.” “I’ve never heard nada de un King Toot,” grampo said. Was he called el Rey Toot porque he used to play la corneta?” “Not ‘King Toot,’ grampo,” corrected Canutito. “Se llamaba King Tut, el Boy King de Egypt. He became real famoso porque cuando hicieron open up su grave después de 5,000 years, hallaron all kinds of cosas que estaban buried con él.” “Just what kinds of cosas estaban sepultadas with el Boy King?” Grampo Caralampio asked ahora pulling a chair up a la mesa. “Pues los archeologists found muncho treasure en la sepultura del King Tut,” began Canutito. “They found chariots de oro and munchas necklaces de precious stones y hasta hicieron find unos mummies de sus servants todos wrapped up en bandages. La death mask del rey alone está worth millions and millions of dollars.” “So lo que tú me está telling,” prefaced grampo, “es que el King de Egypt thought que he could take todo su tesoro with him to the next world?” “Sí, grampo,” Canutito agreed. “Eso no es nada,” Grampo Caralampio said, as he took un drink de café con leche. “People have been trying de take todas sus earthly belongings para el next world por munchos años. Didn’t I ever tell you about Mana Torta, m’hijo? he asked the little boy. “No grampo,” answered Canutito. “Who was Mana Torta?” “Mana Torta,” said grampo, “used to be una mujer que vivía behind la plaza allá by el río. Her real name era Mrs. Farfulana, pero people used to call her Mana Torta porque she used to dye her hair blond trying to look like una gringa. Pero sometimes she would forget de hacerse dye el cabello and it would grow out on top y estaba todo blanco. People thought que it looked como torta de huevo laying on top de su cabeza so they just started llamándole ‘Mana Torta’.” “What does Mana Torta have to do con el King Tut?” Canutito asked grampo. “Mana Torta was tan greedy,” Grampo Caralampio said, “que all she ever thought about era del dinero. She was so money hungry que en el día de su funeral, they buried her con su bank book held entre sus folded hands.” “Really, grampo?” asked Canutito. “Was she really tan cuzca for money?” “¡Sí, señor!” grampo affirmed. “In fact, cuando la funeral procession began, people no estaban surprised to see que había un U-Haul trailer attached al carro mortorio porque Mana Tort estaba determinada de hacer take everything with her. “It sounds como que Mana Tort era una real historical character interesante,” Canutito remarcó. “At least tan interesante como el King Toot de Egypt,” grampo agreed. Canutito tore off el page de su notebook y comenzó su book report otra vez …

Friending the anti-Facebook

Mark Zuckerberg woos WhatsApp and its bash founders, who do not follow the typical Silicon Valley playbook

Brian Acton, left, and Jan Koum, founders of the communicating and sharing smartphone app WhatsApp, at the company’s headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., in 2013. After repeatedly insisting that he wouldn’t sell his 55-person company to an ad-driven behemoth like Facebook, Google or Yahoo, Koum has now reversed course by selling the company to Facebook for at least $16 billion. PETER DASILVA/THE NEW YORK TIMES

By Brian X. Chen and Vindu Goel The New York Times

AN FRANCISCO — Jan Koum fled the former Soviet Union with his mother when he was 16, leaving his father behind. He worked in the engineering trenches for a decade at Yahoo before starting out on his own. When he was a young man growing up in Mountain View, Calif., his family relied on food stamps to get by. Now Koum, the co-founder of WhatsApp, is a billionaire several times over and business partner with Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook chief who, in many ways, is his polar opposite. Zuckerberg, 29, who dropped out of Harvard en route to overnight riches, bought Koum’s mobile messaging company Wednesday for at least $16 billion, betting big on an entrepreneur who does not follow the typical young-and-brash Silicon Valley playbook. Koum, 38, and his co-founder, Brian Acton, prefer to operate lean and below the radar, with just 55 employees and a nondescript office. They despise advertising and value the privacy of their 450 million users so much that they do not even collect their names. Zuckerberg, by contrast, has built his immensely profitable empire by collecting reams of personal data on his 1.2 billion customers and using that to sell ads aimed at them. Even as Facebook gets more corporate and more complicated to use, Koum and Acton, 42, are obsessively focused on just one thing: offering a simple, private, nearly free way for people to share text, photo and video messages with the people they care about. “You don’t want to get in the way of two people communicating,” Koum said in an interview at WhatsApp’s headquarters in Mountain View last spring. “Imagine if I said, ‘Let’s stop for a second, let me pull down this slide. Would you like to see a preview of this game?’ ” After repeatedly insisting that he would not sell his company to an ad-driven behemoth like Facebook, Google or Yahoo, Koum has now reversed course. Koum offered little explanation for his change of heart Wednesday during a conference call with Zuckerberg and Wall Street analysts to discuss the deal. “Facebook is a social network and offers many different and important functionalities than WhatsApp offers as a communication service, and we’re excited to benefit from the unique expertise, knowledge, and infrastructure that Mark and the team have built out over the last decade,” he said. Koum said WhatsApp will operate independently and will not offer advertising. Zuckerberg said he wanted WhatsApp to focus on increasing the number of people who use it to 1 billion and would not pressure the company to add to its modest revenue from its dollar-a-year subscription fee any time soon. Through a spokeswoman, Koum and Acton declined interview requests Thursday. Koum and Zuckerberg do share a common ambition — to connect everyone in the world using their services. “We want WhatsApp to be on every single smartphone,” Koum said last month during an on-stage interview at the DLD conference in Munich. He expects 5 billion people to be using smartphones within

the next decade, and he wants to serve every one. The inspiration for WhatsApp came after both founders left their jobs at Yahoo in 2007 and took some time off. Acton moved to New York to live with his girlfriend (and at one point proclaimed on Twitter that he had applied for a job at Facebook and had been rejected). Koum did some traveling to Argentina and other countries and realized that it was difficult to stay in touch with friends. International area codes made it difficult for people to call him. Email was simple, but it was not as streamlined as a text message. Text messages, however, were expensive, costing at least 25 cents for each one sent from Europe to the United States. And online chat services from Google and AOL required knowing people’s screen names. Two years later, Koum returned to the United States, bought an iPhone and reunited with Acton to build WhatsApp. The service would take advantage of a phone’s address book to make it as streamlined as text messaging, and it would be nearly free like other Internet messaging services. Privacy was vital. “For us, everything is built around us knowing as little as possible about the user and what they do on our network,” Koum said at the Munich conference. “I grew up in a country where I remember my parents not being able to have a conversation on the phone,” he explained. “The walls had ears and you couldn’t speak freely.” Just as important to the founders, who share a hippie ethos and distaste for cutthroat capitalism, was the business model. Instead of financing the service with ads and games like other services to draw eyes to advertisements, Koum and Acton made WhatsApp a free software download that would charge a nominal fee after the first year. They would make the app usable on a broad range of smartphones, from dated BlackBerrys, which they both still use for texting, to sleek new Android phones and iPhones, so that people rich and poor all over the globe could take advantage of the service. Those early decisions allowed the company to remain small, independent and lean even as the app went viral in several parts of the world, especially Europe. Users enjoyed the simplicity and low cost of communicating with friends and family around the globe. And they also appreciated the privacy of a service that did not analyze or store their messages — a rarity in the Internet age. Jim Goetz, a partner at Sequoia Capital, the venture capital firm that invested $60 million in WhatsApp and will make as much as $3 billion in the sale, compared Koum and Acton to the founders of YouTube, the video service that Sequoia also funded before it was bought by Google. “They’re both mavericks; they’re both independent thinkers,” Goetz said. “Like many of the best entrepreneurs we’ve been affiliated with, they were driven and focused on building something for themselves.” Unlike Snapchat, another messaging service that Facebook flirted with buying last year, WhatsApp’s messages are intended to offer a permanent record of life’s conversations. Acton and his family, for example, use the service to share photos and videos of his baby. In the interview last spring, the founders said they were happy with the success of WhatsApp, which then had a mere 40 employees and 300 million active monthly users, exceeding Twitter, a service designed for the public broadcasting of short messages. They were also firm on never wanting to sell their company. “Facebook and Google, Cisco and Apple, and all those companies, they never sold,” Koum said. “They always took on the path of independent companies and marched them forward, and that’s what we want to do. We want to be as good or as great as those companies.”

Koum and Zuckerberg do share a common ambition — to connect everyone in the world using their services. “We want WhatsApp to be on every single smartphone,” Koum said last month during an on-stage interview at the DLD conference in Munich.

Study maps conversations on Twitter, finds 6 types By Barbara Ortutay The Associated Press

NEW YORK — People take to Twitter to talk about everything from politics to breakfast to Justin Bieber in what feels like a chaotic stream of messages. So it may come as a surprise that the conversations on the short messaging service fit into just six distinct patterns. The Pew Research Center, working with the Social Media Research Foundation and using a special software tool, analyzed and mapped millions of public tweets, retweets, hashtags and replies that form the backbone of Twitter chatter. The resulting diagrams show how people, brands, news outlets and celebrities interact on Twitter, depending on the topic of conversation. When it comes to politics, for example, Twitter’s users tend to form two distinct groups that rarely interact with one another, divided along liberal and conservative lines, according to the report, which was published on Thursday. Liberals tend to post links to mainstream news sources, while conservatives link to sites with a conservative blend, according to the study, whose authors likened their methods to taking aerial photos of crowds gathered in public places. The researchers are quick to note that not everyone uses Twitter — only 14 percent of the U.S. population — and not all who do use it to talk about politics, for example. Still, looking at how conversations flow on social media can provide new insights into how people communicate in a way that was not possible until very recently. “You could never do that in the old days when you were running around with a pen and clipboard,” said Marc A. Smith, one of the study’s authors and director of the Social Media Research Foundation. What emerged in maps of political conversations that the liberal and conservative groups are not even arguing with one another. Rather, they are “ignoring one another while pointing to different web resources and using different hashtags,” according to the study. Here are the other five types of conversations: u People who talk about well-known brands on Twitter tend to be disconnected from one another, focusing only on the topic at hand and not really interacting with each other. The study calls these “brand clusters.” One graph, that looked at mentions of Apple, found that users didn’t follow, reply to or mention any other person who also tweeted about the company. u People who tweet from a social media conference, or about another highly specialized topic tend to form tight crowds of people who are connected to one another as followers. There are only a few users who are not connected to at least a few others in the group. u “Community clusters” happen when several, evenly sized Twitter groups are connected to each other. In a sense, these can be compared “to people clustering in different stalls at a bazaar.” The conversations in this group share a common broader topic, whether that’s Michelle Obama or a tech conference, but each cluster takes a different focus. u “Broadcast networks” are often media outlets or prominent social media figures with a lot of followers who repeat the messages such outlets send out. u A Twitter “support network,” is the last major conversation type. These conversations usually involve a large company, such as a bank or airline, that listens and replies to consumer complaints. When mapped, the interactions in these groups tend to look like a bicycle wheel hub with many spokes.

Startup disguises gadgets as jewelry By Nick Wingfield The New York Times

There are two broad strains of wearable technology emerging: the doo-dads that proclaim their techiness from the wrists, faces and other body parts that they are fastened to, and those that try to conceal that quality. Cuff, a new wearable startup in the San Francisco Bay Area, is making products firmly in the latter category. This week, the company unveiled a line of accessories that look more like the jewelry featured in an issue of Vogue, than hardware from the pages of Wired. There are bracelets made of leather and metal with names like The Lena, The Carin and The Mia, necklaces (The Lisa, The Soleil) and keychains (The J and The G). These are not, in short, Google Glass or Samsung’s Galaxy Gear, the high-tech eyewear and smart wristwatch that telegraph their nerd cachet as if they were screaming it through a megaphone. Cuff’s line of accessories, which range from $50 to $150, don’t try to do as much, technology wise, as those other wearables do. They act a bit like remote controls for the smartphones that they connect wirelessly to and on which they depend for access to the Internet. Initially the company is emphasizing personal security as one of the main uses of the devices, Cuff’s founder, Deepa Sood, said in an interview. A woman who encounters a threatening situation on the street or elsewhere can press her finger to a Cuff bracelet on her wrist, which will then send an electronic distress signal to one or more people she has authorized through the Cuff app to receive those messages. The signal will reveal her physical location. A senior citizen can do the same if they’ve fallen and can’t get up. A wearer of a Cuff accessory can program any number of other actions to occur on their smartphones — for instance, a tap of the wrist can send an automated message alerting family that the wearer is driving home. A text message or email from a spouse or parent can vibrate the accessory.

UNM program helps providers assist those with chronic pain throughout New Mexico By Deborah Busemeyer For The New Mexican

really trained to deal with chronic pain,” said Dr. Belyn Schwartz, who is board certified in physician medicine and rehabilitation. Schwartz has cared for patients in Santa Fe for the past 19 years. She sees people with pain caused by a variety of conditions, including strokes, head and spinal-cord injuries, nerve problems and injuries from automobile accidents. Such patients need coordinated care that may include physical therapy, nutrition advice, acupuncture, chiropractor care, massage and psychological services, she said. If they use pain medication, she said, they need education and random drug screenings to help them stay in compliance. “It’s such a complex problem, and patients are often without tools,” Schwartz said. “They often feel disenfranchised. Helping patients take a more proactive approach with their bodies, nutrition and fitness levels is really important.” Complicating matters is mental health and addiction diagnoses. Patients who have chronic pain have two to three times the rate of depression as the general population; they also experience more anxiety. Even though the risk for addiction is relatively low — a 3.3 percent rate in 24 studies — there is also the concern that patients will give or sell their medication to others. When Newman analyzed drug tests of new and returning patients, she found that up to half of them did not have the medication in

Thyroid cancer cases soar; is it overdiagnosed? By Lindsey Tanner

Treating pain through telemedicine he patient came from Los Alamos years ago with a severe case of scoliosis — an abnormal curvature of his spine. Over time, his regular pain had become severe, and he couldn’t enjoy being around his grandchildren. He smoked, had anxiety, depression and sleep apnea. To develop a treatment plan, physician assistant Debra Newman sat down in front of her computer screen in her Española office and remotely presented the case to University of New Mexico experts in psychiatry, internal medicine, neurology, physical therapy and rehabilitation medicine. The health care providers took turns asking questions and discussing the patient. Together, they came up with a course of treatment. “I’m so happy that the program exists so people can get the care they need in their communities,” said Newman, who works at Santa Fe Pain and Spine Specialists now. Weeks ago, she ran into the man with scoliosis. He was sleeping through the night. His anxiety was under control. He was on his way to see his grandchildren. In 2009, Newman was one of the first providers to connect with specialists at UNM’s Pain Consultation and Treatment Center through UNM’s Project ECHO Chronic Pain and Headache Program. Since then, the innovative telemedicine program has become a nationwide model and is offered around the world, including through the U.S. Defense and Veterans Affairs departments. “We know it improves knowledge and increases confidence of primary care providers,” said Dr. Joanna Katzman, a neurologist who directs the pain telehealth program and UNM’s Pain Consultation and Treatment Center. “Being the fifth largest state and one of the most impoverished, we’re using relatively cheap technology to leverage scarce specialty health care resources to primary care clinicians on the front line.” Chronic pain, commonly defined as pain that lasts three months or longer, is one of 10 complex, chronic conditions treated by Project ECHO, which stands for Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes. The program started in 2003 to provide specialty care at no cost and to help primary care providers become more comfortable treating patients safely and effectively in their own communities. Improving access to care through Project ECHO is critical because there aren’t enough pain specialists in New Mexico. There is a six-month wait for new patients at Katzman’s clinic. Often, primary care providers are reluctant to treat chronic pain because it’s a complex condition requiring a variety of services. There are no established protocols or objective measures, and everything is individualized. “For most primary care doctors, [pain is] the biggest thing they see, but they are not

their system that another provider prescribed for them. She said she refers patients to treatment when they misuse their opioid prescription. “If someone has trouble with past addiction but has pain, what do you do? They deserve treatment,” Newman said. “No patient should be fired.” Newman also works with a pain psychologist as well as Project ECHO to help her safely prescribe opioids when alternative care isn’t enough to increase a patient’s quality of life. She said she still finds a way to treat patients who have battled addictions, sometimes with Suboxone, a drug used to treat opioid addiction that can reduce pain. “No one should feel alone and feel like they have to search the streets for drugs,” she said. Katherine Guidry, 57, learned how to reduce her pain from scoliosis by one point each (on a 1-10 scale) with music, aromatherapy and swimming in a heated therapy pool. She doesn’t need to take opioids for her pain when she can receive rolfing bodywork and osteopathy. However, health insurance typically doesn’t cover the rolfing, a holistic system of manipulating soft tissue, and osteopathy, which uses a broad range of gentle hands-on techniques to strengthen the musculoskeletal system. “If we could monetize bodywork, we could use less narcotics,” said Guidry, who has lived in Santa Fe for 40 years.

CHICAGO — A dramatic rise in thyroid cancer has resulted from overdiagnosis and treatment of tumors too small to ever cause harm, according to a study that found cases nearly tripled since 1975. The study is the latest to question whether all cancers need aggressive treatment. Other research has suggested that certain cancers of the prostate, breast and lung grow so slowly that they will never become deadly, and that overzealous screening leads to overtreatment. The thyroid is a hormone-releasing gland in the neck that helps regulate metabolism. Thyroid cancer treatment often includes surgery to remove the butterflyshaped gland, followed by lifelong daily hormone pills. Thyroid removal is done for 85 percent of all people diagnosed despite guidelines that say less aggressive surgery is reasonable for lower-risk thyroid tumors, the study authors said. “Our old strategy of looking as hard as possible to find cancer has some real side effects,” said Dr. Gilbert Welch, co-author of the thyroid study and a professor of medicine at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice. Welch said patients “can no longer assume” that labeling a disease as cancer means treatment is necessary. “It’s a challenging rethinking,” he added. Welch and Dartmouth colleague Dr. Louise Davies analyzed government data from 1975 to 2009 and found thyroid cancers jumped from 5 cases per 100,000 people to 14 per 100,000. Most of that increase was in papillary thyroid cancers, the most common and least deadly kind; those cases jumped from about three cases per 100,000 to more than 12 per 100,000. The results suggest there is “an ongoing epidemic of thyroid cancer” nationwide, they said. The study was published online Thursday in JAMA Otolaryngology. Despite the increase, thyroid cancer is relatively uncommon; more than 60,000 cases were diagnosed nationwide last year, according to the American Cancer Society. Risk factors for thyroid cancer include diets low in iodine — rare in the U.S. — and radiation exposure. Women are more commonly diagnosed than men. The new study echoes previous studies but “certainly raises some provocative questions,” said Dr. Brian Burkey, a Cleveland Clinic head and neck cancer specialist. Experts know that better detection methods including CT scans and ultrasound, have led to more thyroid cancers being diagnosed, but they don’t know which ones will become aggressive, Burkey said. “Thyroid cancer even if treated has a fairly high recurrence rate even if it doesn’t kill,” he said. Burkey is among researchers planning a major study seeking to provide answers. Patients diagnosed with thyroid cancers will be randomly assigned treatment or just observation. In the meantime, the study authors offer some advice: Physicians could “openly share with patients the uncertainty surrounding small thyroid cancers — explaining that many will never grow and cause harm to a patient,” but that it’s not possible to know for certain which ones are harmless.

Jazz study shows link between music, language By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Jazz musicians are famous for their musical conversations — one improvises a few bars and another plays an answer. Now research shows some of the brain’s language regions enable that musical back-and-forth much like a spoken conversation. It gives new meaning to the idea of music as a universal language. The finding, published last week in the journal PLoS One, is the latest in the growing field of musical neuroscience: Researchers are using how we play and hear music to illuminate different ways that the brain works. And to Dr. Charles Limb, a saxophonist-turned-hearing specialist at Johns Hopkins University, the spontaneity that is a hallmark of jazz offered a rare chance to compare music and language. “They appear to be talking to one another through their instruments,” Limb explained. “What happens when you have a musical conversation?” Watching brains on jazz requires getting musicians to lie flat inside an MRI scanner that measures changes in oxygen use by different parts of the brain as they play. An MRI machine contains a giant magnet — meaning no trumpet or sax. So Limb had a special metal-free keyboard manufactured, and then recruited 11 experienced jazz pianists to play it inside the scanner. They watched their fingers through strategically placed mirrors during 10-minute music stretches. Sometimes they played scales. Other times, they did what’s called “trading fours,” where the pianist made up four bars, and then Limb or another musician-scientist in the lab improvised four bars in return, and the pianist responded with still new notes. That conversation-like improvisation activated brain areas that normally process the syntax of language, the way that words are put together into phrases and sentences. Even between their turns playing, the brain wasn’t resting. The musicians were processing what they were hearing to come up with new sounds that were a good fit. At the same time, certain other regions of the brain involved with language — those that process the meaning of words — were tuned down, Limb found. That makes sense because “the richness of the structure of music is what gives it its significance,” Limb said. “You can have substantive discourse using music, without any words, yet language areas of the brain are involved in this unique way.”

Like other schools in Southern New Mexico, Columbus is dealing with students from low-income backgrounds with little English proficiency. Columbus Elementary received an F grade from state education officials the past two years. According to state figures, 32 percent of students tested at adequate levels for reading last year and only 33 percent tested proficient for math. Educators say many students from Palomas don’t have books at home and they never held a pencil before starting kindergarten. Some critics argue that despite their U.S. citizenship, these students shouldn’t be attending American schools because their parents don’t pay taxes. But New Mexico officials said the state constitution requires public schools be open to all school-age children regardless of residence. “If a child shows up at the schoolhouse door, we provide them with an education,” Deputy Education Secretary Paul Aguilar said.

Storms to bring much-needed moisture to parched California The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Meteorologists forecast a pair of storms could dump several inches of rain on parched cities and croplands throughout California in the coming week, bringing welcome news to a state that has just endured its driest year in recorded history. While the rain won’t be enough to end the drought, the National Weather Service projected Sunday that the muchneeded precipitation could nearly double the amount of rainfall in parts of Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area this year. The first storm on Wednesday won’t offer much relief, just light rains heading. But by Friday, radar images show the second storm should drench the entire state for 24 hours. “We’re not calling it a drought-buster, but it definitely will make a difference,” said Jim Bagnall, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Hanford, one of many San Joaquin Valley towns where farmers have fallowed crops in anticipation of record low water supplies. “With these few storms, we could see about an inch total in the valley. So this could obviously have some significant impact.” The stormsare badly needed:

Since July 1, 2013, only 5.85 inches of rain have fallen in San Francisco, or about 35 percent of normal for this time of year. Just 1.2 inches have fallen in downtown Los Angeles, compared to 10.45 inches in a normal year. Looking further into the future, meteorologists say computer models show another sign of hope: greater chances that this year could see El Niño conditions and accompanying rainfall.

More models favor El Niño,” said Jon Gottschalck, acting chief of operational prediction at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center in College Park, Md. “We certainly don’t want to promise anything, but conditions are looking better.”

h, how terribly handicapped were our ancestors! Just imagine how much greater Alexander of Macedon might have been could he have subordinated his teacher, Aristotle, to an iPad. And what additional great discoveries into nature might Sir Isaac Newton have made had he been able to stand on boxes of laptops instead of the shoulders of giants?

Bad economics

slowdown within a sustainable model and reasonable debt limit. We have neither. Barry Hatfield

Santa Fe

Silly season With the city election around the corner, it is now silly season. Patti Bushee, who tried to raise private money and failed, and Bill Dimas, who took public money and then refused to participate in any public forums, are now complaining that Javier Gonzales has broad support in Santa Fe. Bushee, who tried hard to get the Sierra Club endorse-

ment, now says the Sierra Club is part of the “political machine” because it endorsed Javier. Then Dimas and Bushee, both of whom fought hard to get union endorsements and failed, are calling them “special interests” and are shocked — shocked, I say — that Labor is doing what it always does, trying to inform members about who it endorsed. This year, that’s Javier. This must be why so few of the city councilors who served in the last 15 years have endorsed either Dimas or Bushee. Ten have endorsed Javier.

Fellow citizens of Santa Fe, when you go to vote, please keep in mind that political action committees and unions are always behind the candidate that can be bought and manipulated. Also … It was so thoughtful of our illustrious council to ban e-cigarettes in public places, I mean, I would much rather sit next to a beer-guzzling gun carrier in a movie theater than next to someone with an e-cigarette. Thank you for caring so much about us.

The lessons inside a box of cookies

Robert M. McKinney Owner, 1949-2001

OUR VIEW

Sidney Singer

You gave Nick Estes a whole byline (Looking In, “Outdated economic doctrine,” Feb. 2), predicated upon a laughable falsity. He advocates heavier government spending as a solution to economic slowdown, by “borrowing these excess savings and spending them in the economy.” Whose excess savings? Not the government’s because it does not have any. All it has is a national debt already far bigger than our entire annual economic production. The only savings left are those of the 5 percent and corporate treasuries. Why would they lend at artificially low rates to a bankrupt borrower intent on inflating its debts away? Estes ridicules the economic model that Keynes replaced in the 1930s without seeming to know that Keynes is obsolete. Governments can only spend their way out of a

A-11

risp Thin Mints, peanut butter Tagalongs and coconutty Samoas are everywhere — it must be Girl Scout Cookie season. Done right, cookie-selling can pack as many business lessons as calories. As the Girl Scouts website argues: “Every time you buy a box of cookies, you help girls learn 5 essential skills — goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics. … They learn and they earn, all thanks to you!” But these lessons aren’t learned when Scouts sell outside grocery stores or via mobile app or, even worse, when parents ask their colleagues to purchase Girl Scout cookies, a query I recently received at a casual work lunch. My friend wasn’t prepared for the lecture that followed. I’d be more than happy to buy cookies from his daughter, I said, but only if she called me on the phone to personally ask for the sale. This goes beyond helicopter parenting. Ensuring that kids sell their own cookies is responsible parenting. When I was a Scout, I remember getting my order form and sitting down with my mom and dad to ask them which of their friends I might approach for sales. There were long weekends of walking door to door with my parents, working on my “cookie elevator pitch” in between houses. I knew which houses were easy sells and which were tougher. I didn’t realize at the time that I was learning marketing strategy in addition to sales. When I returned to the office after that recent lunch, I began reviewing a forensic interview for a documentary I am working on called All the Queen’s Horses, about Rita Crundwell, a former comptroller of Dixon, Ill., who is serving 19 years in federal prison for embezzlement. As a comptroller — and very similar to my duties as a cookie-peddling Scout — Crundwell collected checks from residents. But after collecting these checks and depositing them in city bank accounts, she transferred the money to

a secret bank account and purchased horses, jewelry and real estate for more than 20 years without her Dixon neighbors suspecting a thing. As a 10-year-old Scout, I remember almost having a Crundwell moment when I asked my mother one day if I could “borrow” from my cookie-sale stash when I needed lunch money — as long as I put it back in time to turn the money in to our Scout leader. My mother looked at me sternly and explained that the money did not belong to me — taking it wouldn’t be right. Our neighbors trusted me because I was a Girl Scout, she said, and it would be unethical to borrow the money, even if I intended to pay it back. Twenty-five years later, I’m interviewing business professionals who rationalized their behavior as “borrowing” money from their companies and planning to return it at some later date. Selling cookies, I learned more than how to resist the temptation to embezzle. Since my parents were not involved in the process, other than walking me around the neighborhood, the buck stopped with me. I was in charge of all orders and counted my money every night. I learned

never to set unrealistic sales goals; to always take responsibility for my work; and that if someone says “no,” have confidence, because another will say “yes.” A few weeks ago, I received a phone call. It was my friend’s 7-year-old daughter with her Girl Scout Cookie sales pitch. Not only was she poised and professional, she closed the deal by asking for the names of friends who might be interested in purchasing cookies. I was impressed — and ordered three boxes of Thin Mints. If she follows my old-school approach to Girl Scout Cookie sales, she may not be the sales leader in her troop, but she could be the next Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sandra Day O’Connor, Sally Ride, Barbara Walters or Gloria Steinem — all legendary Girl Scouts. I trust that they sold cookies themselves, learning about accountability along the way. I am raising a future Girl Scout in my house, and I look forward to our cookieseason chats as chances to teach her that there are no shortcuts in business — or in life. This commentary was written as a special to The Washington Post.

ment 1.

Charter Amendment 2 would enshrine in the charter the importance of neighborhoods to the city, requiring establishment of a policy on neighborhood preservation. Vote yes on Charter Amendment 2.

Charter Amendment 3 calls for a policy supporting local businesses as well as the “living wage.” Vote yes on Charter Amendment 3.

Charter Amendment 4 is particularly important. It would require an independent citizens redistricting commission, taking the redistricting of City Council districts out of the hands of politicians. The amendment requires new districts at least every 10 years, and we hope redistricting happens even more frequently should population shift. Vote yes on Charter Amendment 4.

From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Feb. 24, 1914: Washington — Babies are not mailable. The post office department so holds in an edict barring them from the parcels post. The question arose over a request by the Postmaster at Stratford, Okla., for a ruling by the department as to whether a patron of his office could send a 2-year-old child by parcel post from Twin Falls, Idaho, to Stratford. The Postmaster was puzzled because he could find nothing in the regulations covering such a case. It was the first time the authorities here had been asked to rule upon the question. Assistant Postmaster-General Stewart decided that all human beings and live animals are barred from the mail. Feb. 24, 1964: Fort Wingate, N.M. — A 35-foot Pershing Missile streaked across New Mexico early today and impacted safely in the sprawling White Sands Missile Range, approximately 200 miles southeast of the launch site. The firing was the first overland firing of 1964 from Fort Wingate to White Sands and the first firing since an ill-fated Athena missile went astray on a flight from Green River, Utah, to White Sands two weeks ago. The Athena landed near Durango, Colo.

MALLARD FILLMORE

otential changes in how the city of Santa Fe governs itself are part of the municipal election on March 4. Nine proposed charter amendments are on the ballot this election. As is often the case, not all amendments are created equally. Some matter more than others. We will start with those, the last two proposals that could greatly increase the mayor’s power. Charter Amendments 8 and 9 on the ballot came out of the notion that Santa Fe, as a more modern and complex city, needs full-time leadership more accountable to the people — not just from a city manager who works for the mayor and council, but from the only official elected citywide. The changes would allow a full-time mayor to earn a higher salary and increase hiring and firing power. The Charter Commission members are correct that Santa Fe is more complicated today, with pressing challenges that deserve more focused attention. A full-time mayor would not be doing the work of running the city on a day-to-day basis; that would remain the city manager’s job. But a full-time mayor could spend necessary hours on promoting the city, working with regional and tribal governments and brainstorming ways to improve Santa Fe. By paying a higher salary, it’s likely the city would attract a wider field of candidates. At the same time, the decision to vest so much power in one position cannot be taken lightly. City Charter Commission members at one time had considered granting the new super mayor the authority to appoint all department heads. We are not persuaded that a mayor needs his or her own “team” to set policy for cleaning the streets or recycling trash — and indeed, the amendment was revised to limit some of the mayor’s powers. City government should avoid overreaching policy and focus on services: Solving crime. Picking up trash. Plowing the streets. Eliminating graffiti. That broader view of a mayor’s powers shifted, but the amendment before voter still gives the mayor too much authority. While we do see logic in allowing the mayor to be able to fire a city manager, we do not support the mayor being able to fire the city attorney and city clerk unilaterally. That’s too much power, too fast. We agree that Santa Fe needs more clout in the mayor’s position, but Charter Amendment 9 is not the way to get there. It needs to be rewritten. Until that happens, vote no on Charter Amendment 9. (To the next mayor: Should it fail, have it reworked with full-time responsibilities and pay but less power over high-paying jobs.) Charter Amendment 8, though, which grants a vote to the mayor on all issues, not just in case of a tie, is a good step forward. It is useful for citizens to be able to see how a person stands, not by what they say, but through their action in taking a vote on the record on controversial issues. Vote yes on Charter Amendment 8. Also on the ballot are the following amendment: Charter Amendment 1 deals with water protection and conservation, calling for the governing body to protect, preserve and enhance the city’s water resources through regulation and conservation. Vote yes on Charter Amend-

Charter Amendment 5 deals with campaign contributions and directs the governing body to limit the amount of campaign contributions all candidates will be able to accept. Vote yes on Charter Amendment 5. Charter Amendment 6 requires the City Council to disclose in a timely fashion how it wants to spend tax increases or the money raised in bond elections. Vote yes on Charter Amendment 6.

Charter Amendment 7 would mandate the governing body pass an ordinance to establish an independent audit committee. Given the questions about spending over the years, this seems a common-sense fix to provide more information about how taxpayer dollars are spent. Vote yes on Charter Amendment 7.

Oldest-known Holocaust survivor dies at age 110

Alice HerzSommer

City Amsterdam Athens Baghdad Bangkok Barcelona Beijing Berlin Bogota Buenos Aires Cairo Caracas Ciudad Juarez Copenhagen Dublin Geneva Guatemala City Havana Hong Kong Jerusalem Lima

LONDON — Alice Herz-Sommer, believed to be the oldest Holocaust survivor, died at age 110 Sunday, a family member said. The accomplished pianist’s death came just a week before her extraordinary story of surviving two years in a Nazi prison camp through devotion to music and her son is up for an Oscar. Herz-Sommer died in a hospital after being admitted Friday with health problems, daughter-in-law Genevieve Sommer said. “We all came to believe that she would just never die,” said Frederic Bohbot, producer of the documentary The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life. The film, directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Malcolm Clarke, has been nominated for best short documentary at the Academy Awards next Sunday. Herz-Sommer, her husband and her son were sent from Prague in 1943 to a concentration camp in the Czech city of Terezin — Theresienstadt in German — where inmates were allowed to stage concerts in which she frequently starred. An estimated 140,000 Jews were sent to Terezin, and 33,430 died there. About 88,000 were moved on to Auschwitz and other death camps, where most of them were killed. The Associated Press

Seth Meyers is the oldest, most experienced and most hostlike comedian to take the reins of NBC’s three-decadeold Late Night. But starting Monday night, when he walks out into his shiny new studio at 30 Rockefeller Center, about 20 yards down the hall from where he has worked for the past 13 years on Saturday Night Live, the only thing that will matter is whether Meyers will be as funny as the three men who preceded him: David Letterman, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon. “You can’t worry about it until it’s time to worry about it,” Meyers said, sitting in his unprepossessing office at 30 Rock. He acknowledged the daunting track record he will be following: Each of the previous three hosts graduated from successful runs in the 12:35 a.m. slot of Late Night to the big time of 11:35 p.m. shows on a network. “I’m really looking forward to mid-March,” Meyers said. “When we’ve been on three weeks, it will be like looking at an ultrasound: Oh, I see its hand! Whereas right now we’ve got a heartbeat, but that’s all we’ve got.” Worrying is locked deep into Meyers’ DNA, but few around him on the new show share the condition. In his years as head writer for SNL and anchor of its “Weekend Update” segment, Meyers earned a reputation for reliability and intellect. “Seth is a very stable guy,” said Michael Shoemaker, his producer and longtime friend. (And mature, of course. Meyers is 40. David Letterman was 34 when he started Late Night in 1982. When O’Brien took over in 1993, he was 30. And Fallon was 34 when he became host in 2009.) Lorne Michaels, the executive producer for both shows, who first hired Meyers for SNL and then installed him in Late Night, said: “Seth is ready for this. He has the poise and

the breadth.” Most people who have worked with Meyers quickly cite his intelligence and his wide range of interests — from politics to sports to literature — as the qualities most likely to set him apart as a late-night host. “There is nothing he can’t talk about,” Michaels said. “I would use the word ‘intellectual.’ But he’s somebody who thinks things through and finds a take on it. He is incredibly disciplined and has a brilliant mind.” What distinguishes Meyers from most previous late-night hosts (with one exception, O’Brien) is that he largely forged his early career as a writer. Though he had extensive improv training after college at Northwestern and made it to SNL as a performer, Meyers said he quickly realized his path to survival on a show stocked with talent like Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler was as a writer. “I would write sketches with the intention of pitching myself in them, and even I would know that if I really wanted the sketch to get on, I would be the fourth or fifth best choice. At that point, you can’t really complain to the rest of the writing staff that they’re not putting you in anything.” “Weekend Update” changed his career path. When Tina Fey left the show in 2006, he won the co-anchor job next to Poehler. “Amy is fearless,” he said. “I will never be as fearless as Amy, but I am more fearless for having known her.” “Update” also allowed Meyers to display another underappreciated comedy skill: the straight man. Paired with characters like Bill Hader’s Stefon, Meyers found himself enjoying the role of joke facilitator. His fans from SNL are surely going to expect a smarter show under Meyers, Shoemaker said. “There’s no way to define smarter,” he said. “It’s the subject matter. This show will book differently because of Seth’s interests. He wants politicians and authors and sports figures and comedians.”

2014 WINTER OLYMPICS

Relief and revelry as Games conclude With a sigh of satisfaction, Russia caps show of might with a celebration to match

By Will Webber The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — Before Saturday night’s clash of Mountain West men’s basketball titans in a sold-out Pit, Steve Fisher approached his coaching counterpart and passed along a quaint observation. “I’m sure they’ll be ranked next week,” the San Diego State head coach said when looking out at The University of New Mexico during pregame warmups. “I told [Lobos coach] Craig [Neal] before the game, it’s crazy that you’re not ranked right now.” Following the Lobos’ 58-44 win that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated, it just might come to pass that UNM will re-enter the national Top 25 polls for the first time since Thanksgiving. At 21-5 overall and 12-2 in the MWC — tied for first with Fisher’s Aztecs with just four games remaining in the regular season — New Mexico gave itself a huge boost with its nationally televised win before an energized home crowd. The most recent polls will be released before noon Monday. UNM began the season ranked in both the media and coaches polls, rising as high as No. 19 in The Associated Press Top 25 before a loss to UMass in the Charleston Classic in late

CSU-Pueblo basketball champs from 1961 honored By Carmelita Roybal For the New Mexican

In 1961, a team walked off the basketball court as champions after beating a team from Tyler, Texas, at the National Junior College Athletic Association national championship in Hutchison, Kansas. Fifty-three years later, one the players from that Colorado State University-Pueblo team walked onto the Harry H. Simmons Court to receive the team’s championship rings. Among this group was Santa Fe’s own Lenny Roybal, a 1958 graduate of Santa Fe High. The school, now a four-year college that plays at the Division II level, honored the surviving members of the team, which is the only one in school history to win a national title, during a ring ceremony on Feb. 15. At the time, the school was called Pueblo Junior College Roybal went to CSU-Pueblo after graduating at Santa Fe High, which started him on a path that went through San Jose State University and the College of Santa Fe after his brother, Toby Roybal, died from cancer in 1964. For Royal, it was not the easiest path to chose. “I went there with $10 in my pocket and an athletic scholarship,” said Roybal, who coached College of Santa Fe to the NAIA Elite Eight in 1983. CSU-Pueblo won 34 games and

U.S. defends performance in Sochi Americans take home 28 medals as Russians come out on top By Tim Dahlberg The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — The speedskaters flopped, and the hockey team was blanked when it mattered most. If it wasn’t for some brand new sports, the medal count would be paltry. Yet U.S. Olympic officials insist this was one of

the country’s best Olympics ever. “I couldn’t be more proud of our Olympic team,” said Larry Probst, chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee. A bronze in the four-man bobsled on a day Russia put an exclamation point on its games gave the U.S. 28 medals in Sochi, putting it behind just the host country in total medals. But Norway won more gold than the U.S. (11-9), and the 28 total medals were nine less than Americans won in a

OCHI, Russia — Russia had so much to prove at the Winter Games. Was spending however-many billions of dollars to build an Olympics-industrial complex from scratch on the edge of the Black Sea worth it? How could the country overcome a thicket of potential problems: security worries, logistical obstacles, weather annoyances and the darkening specter of revolution in nearby Ukraine? The closing ceremony Sunday night was advertised as a celebration of Russian culture and heritage: a grand party to show off the work of distinguished Russian musicians, dancers, artists and authors through the centuries. But it seemed as much a great sigh of happy relief as anything else. Russia had done it. It had held an Olympics that were safe and secure and that, thrillingly to the home fans, demonstrated the restoration of Russia’s athletic might. Four years after finishing the Vancouver Games with less than half as many medals as the United States, Russia won the most: 33. Almost overnight, it seemed, the mood in Russia shifted, from a kind of grumbling fatalism to a burst of national pride. In keeping with that, the ceremony Sunday was often loud, sometimes elegant, sometimes flashy, sometimes bewildering. It opened with an excerpt from Mussorgsky’s lovely Pictures at an Exhibition; featured a children’s choir whose members were drawn from all over Russia; starred a giddy crowd of postcompetition Olympic athletes from various countries, rushing in all at once; and hustled people on- and offstage so rapidly that it was sometimes hard to catch why they had been there at all. There were references to Kandinsky and to

the first time since 2001 — set up a final two-lap shootout to the finish. Earnhardt got a great jump past Brad Keselowski on the restart, and had Gordon behind him protecting his bumper. But Denny Hamlin came charging through the field and Earnhardt suddenly had a challenger with one lap to go. Then an accident farther back involving former winners Kevin Harvick and Jamie McMurray brought out the caution and the win belonged to Earnhardt. “We could fight off battle after battle. We got a little help at the end there from Jeff to get away on the restart,” Earnhardt said. “This is amazing. I can’t believe this is happening. I never take this for granted, man because it doesn’t happen twice, let alone once.” Hamlin, who won two other races in the buildup to Sunday was trying to become

the first driver to sweep Daytona, wound up second in a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. He was strongest before the rain delay, but had an issue with his radio when the race resumed and had difficulty hearing his spotter. “It was tough and disappointing because I definitely could have used my spotter there at the end,” Hamlin said. “I’m trying to look up at the scoreboard, trying to figure out how many laps are left. I’m so 50-50 on whether I’m [mad] or I’m happy. I just don’t know. Any other year, I probably would have been jumping up and down.” Keselowski finished third in a Team Penske Ford, and said after watching a replay he knew he had no chance to win once drivers behind him committed to their moves and Hamlin came charging alongside him.

Champs: Coach’s daughter accepts ring Continued from Page B-1 was the Empire Conference champion. It was a team that was talented. Guard Bob Warlick was named the national junior college player of the year, and he played several years in the NBA and ABA. Sam Smith was named a first-team, junior college All-American and was the regional tournament MVP. Meanwhile, Norm Colglazier and Waymond Dean were all-region selections. “It was a job, we knew our education was based on our performance,” said Tony Hegler, the team’s center and forward. “We only lost two games that year.” The players remain friends and have kept in contact through the years. In 2009, they were invited to attend the dedication of the court in honor of their head coach. In addition, the team was inducted into the CSU-Pueblo Hall of Fame. “We probably had the best coach [Harry T. Simmons] in the country. It didn’t matter who you were or how you were, he treated us all the same,” Hegler said. Simmon’s daughter Martha Simmons,

who was 6 years old when the team won the title, accepted her father’s championship ring and plans to wear it as a necklace or as a bracelet charm. “I’m thrilled,” Martha Simmons said. “It’s a really great honor and has been the biggest thing for Pueblo.” The team, nicknamed the Indians, was always a tight-knit team. “We were just a group of guys that really got along well, no egos,” said Colglazier, who Roybal called the quiet leader of the team. “It sounds cliché, but it was a team.” Some of those same players — Roybal, Hegler, Ron DeLeon and Jack Milam — were a part of the baseball team that reached the National Junior College Athletic Association’s World Series that spring. Seven of the 11 members of the championship team received their rings. Simmons died in 1990, and Warlick passed away in 2005. “I wish the guys who passed on were here, but it’s great of the college to give us something and bridge the gap,” said teammate Chuck Williams.

Milam said Pueblo had a long history of going to the national tournament but had never won. “To finally win was just totally awesome,” Milam said. At the ring presentation, DeLeon, the team’s small forward, said, “It was a long time coming, but it was worth the wait.” Roybal was happy to step onto the court once again with his teammates. “There is always a bond when people win championships,” Roybal said. “A bond that remains forever.” Roybal would know. Aside from leading College of Santa Fe to national quarterfinals, he coached Santa Fe High to its only state boys basketball championship in 1978 as well as the volleyball team in 1976 and the boys golf team in 1977. He also coached Santa Fe High to its last district boys basketball title in 2006. Carmelita Roybal is a senior majoring in communications and journalism at The University of New Mexico. She is Lenny Roybal’s daughter.

Odds: Bairstow unstoppable at times Continued from Page B-1 November dropped them from the polls. In Saturday’s win, the Lobos looked as good as they have all year. It was the ninth straight game in which they had held their opponent to fewer points than their season average. Ranked No. 6 coming into the game, SDSU was held 28 points below their average before their first 25 games. Aside from the defense, UNM also made a strong pitch in the individual awards category. Senior forward Cameron Bairstow put on another impressive show by finishing with 26 points and nine rebounds in 36 minutes. At times, he was simply unstoppable against an SDSU defense that was, statistically, among the top 10 in the country. Entering the weekend, he was one of three strong candidates for the MWC player of the year award along with teammate Kendall Williams and Aztecs guard Xavier Thames. Already the conference’s leading scorer and one of the nation’s most respected big men, the 6-foot-9 Australian earned his place as the front-runner for the award by shredding SDSU’s low post players. Just don’t ask him about it because the mere subject of talking about himself for a postseason award makes him squirm more than opposing defenders trying to stop him. “I don’t think about that stuff,” Bairstow said, speaking slowly as if every word

SCOREBOARD Local results and schedules

The Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Through rain and wrecks, on Daytona’s longest day, this was a drought Dale Earnhardt Jr. was determined to end. NASCAR’s most popular driver won the Daytona 500 for the second time — a decade after his first victory — to snap a 55-race losing streak dating to 2012. The victory Sunday night ended a streak of futility at Daytona International Speedway, where he finished second in three of the previous four 500s. “Winning this race is the greatest feeling that you could feel in this sport besides accepting the trophy for the championship,” said Earnhardt, who climbed from his car in Victory Lane and hugged every member of his Hendrick Motorsports crew. “I didn’t know if I’d ever get the chance to feel it again and it feels just as good.” As he crossed the finish line in his No. 88 Chevrolet, the few who withstood a rain delay of 6 hours, 22 minutes screaming their support, Earnhardt euphorically radioed his crew, saying: “This is better than the first one!” He was met by Rick Hendrick after his victory lap, and the team owner climbed into the driver’s window for a ride to Victory Lane. “The world is right right now — Dale Junior just won the Daytona 500,” teammate Jeff Gordon said. “That’s a sign it’s going to be a great season.” Rain stopped the race about 45 minutes after it began for a delay of more than six hours. When it resumed, Earnhardt dominated at the track where his father was killed in an accident on the last lap of the 2001 race. He led six times for a race-high 54 laps — all after the rain delay — and seemed to have it under control until things got chaotic near the end. There were 42 lead changes and four multi-car accidents as the field closed in on the checkered flag. An accident with seven laps to go triggered by pole-sitter Austin Dillon, driving the No. 3 — Earnhardt’s father’s number making its return to the Daytona 500 for

caused him pain. “It’s just some award type of thing. I don’t really think about it too much. It’s not something that really matters to me. It’s more about the team winning; winning the conference championship that matters to me.” As he stood near center court for a postgame interview on ESPN2, Bairstow was showered with chants of “MVP, MVP” from the throngs of Lobos fans who stood in the stands and watched him speak to a live national audience. While Bairstow may not have clinched the award, Thames may well have lost it. He finished with just seven points on 3 of 15 shooting. He was 1-for-9 in the first half; his only make coming on an awkward jumper that bounced in off the glass from 15 feet. He had been averaging more than 17 points a game for the season and 18.5 in conference play. “Bairstow has been doing that for them all year, so hats off to him,” Thames said. “He’s a tremendous player and he makes that team real good. He’s hard to stop. Me, I had some easy shots early in the game that didn’t go. It was frustrating.” While it’s all good for UNM right now — the Lobos have won three straight by beating Nevada, UNLV and now a top-10 SDSU squad by an average of 14.7 points — there is still plenty of work to be done. Up next is a visit from a reeling Utah State (15-12, 5-10) program that has slipped to ninth place in the MWC standings.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday in The Pit. After that is a trip to Nevada, then back home to face Air Force in the final game in Albuquerque this season. The regular season finale has UNM traveling to Viejas Arena for a rematch with San Diego State. Fisher said it’s good for his team that the schedule calls for his team to be at home the next time the Lobos pop up. Still, it’s not exactly ideal. “Well, I’d rather it be that I’m not playing them but I’m glad that if we’re playing them we’re playing them at our place,” he said. “So I don’t want to come back and play them with this crew this year. They were good.” GAME NOTES San Diego State’s remaining games have them hosting last-place San Jose State, traveling to Fresno State and then UNLV before getting the Lobos at home on March 8. While The Pit crowd was certainly on fire for most of Saturday’s game, it wasn’t exactly the scariest experience in the world to Thames. Having already faced some of the toughest teams in the country this season — the Aztecs have already crossed paths with Arizona, Creighton, Kansas and Marquette — the soft-spoken point guard said the most hostile environment his club has dealt with all year is its game at Kansas on Jan. 5. “This place is loud,” he said of The Pit. “Kansas was tougher.”

Nadal wins Rio Open; Nara takes women’s title By Stephen Wade The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO — Rafael Nadal returned from a troublesome back injury to win the Rio Open on Sunday, defeating Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine 6-3, 7-6 (3). Nadal’s victory comes four weeks after losing the Australian Open final to underdog Stanislas Wawrinka after tweaking his back while warming up. Nadal, who had to fend off two match points in the semifinal against Pablo Andujar, looked more comfortable in the final and improved his record on clay to 298 wins and 21 losses, the best in the Open Era. The Spaniard declined to talk about his back, focusing instead on the victory. “Clearly, it was important for me to get back and win after what happened in the final in Australia,” Nadal said. He said the heat, the court preparation and the quick balls used in the event made it difficult. He has complained about the fast balls all week. Nadal has won three times in Brazil and hopes to return next year. He’s also eyeing the 2016 Rio Olympics where he’d seek a second gold medal. He won gold in 2008 in Beijing. “I leave with the sensation

that Brazil is something special for me,” he said. Top-ranked Nadal used the Latin American claycourt swing to launch his comeback a year ago from a left knee injury. It went just fine with titles in the French and US Open. He’ll take the same approach this time, hoping injuries don’t slow him heading to the French Open in three months. Dolgopolov has lost all five matches against Nadal. At center court after the match he mentioned the near-civil war in Ukraine “As you know there are some troubles in my country,” he told thousands of fans, who applauded in support. “Hopefully there’s going to be peace in my country as I left it a few months ago.” In the women’s final at the combined ATP-WTA event, Kurumi Nara of Japan defeated top-seeded Klara Zakopalova of the Czech Republic 6-1, 4-6, 6-1 to win her first WTA singles title. Nara, the 22-year-old Japanese, was seeded fifth in the tournament and is Japan’s top-ranked woman. She prefers to play on hard courts but adapted to the heat and clay in Rio. “I love Rio,” Nara said, cracking a huge smile. “I can’t believe I won the tournament, but I am very happy.”

WINTER OLYMPICS

THE NEW MEXICAN Monday, February 24, 2014

Conclude: Performers poke fun of glitch in opening ceremony Continued from Page B-1 Chagall. There was music by Rachmaninoff, Rubinstein and Vladimir Horowitz. There were ballet dancers. Huge banners depicting some of Russia’s greatest authors — Tolstoy, Gogol, Dostoyevsky, the dissident writer Solzhenitsyn — were displayed as people ran around waving books in the air. In a charming touch, witty fun also was made of the fact that one of the Olympic rings had malfunctioned during the opening ceremony, leaving an incomplete Olympic insignia of just four rings. This time the Olympic ring pattern was made by performers fanning out across the arena: They opened into the first four rings, waited several minutes and then finally formed the fifth, which was in itself a relief. There is no doubt that Russia felt it had won a kind of cosmic gold medal during these games, not least because they seemed to vindicate the grand ambitions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose dream of holding an Olympics sometimes seemed based more on his own grandiose self-confidence than on reality. But it worked. After all the fears of terrorist attacks, none materialized. The signs had seemed grim: Some three dozen people were killed and scores more injured in Volgograd in three attacks in the months leading to the Olympics. Some fans were scared away. From the United States, the relatives of some athletes said they planned to stay home rather than risk traveling here. Sochi, on the coast, and Krasnaya Polyana, the scene of the snow-sport events up in the mountains, were put into virtual lockdown as Putin established a so-called ring of steel around the whole area. Russia said it planned to set up six missile-defense systems to counter any possible attacks from the air. It also said it would deploy a security force of 40,000 people, and sometimes it seemed as if all of them were out and about at once. It was impossible to go anywhere or do anything without being hyperconscious of the officers, guards and military personnel blanketing the games. There were worries, too, about how well all this new infrastructure would hold up when tens of thousands of people descended en masse, staying, eating and traveling in places where no

one had ever set foot before. Some corners of the Olympic development, especially in Krasnaya Polyana, simply were not ready on time. After a number of well-publicized hiccups — unfinished hotels, knobs falling off doors, brown water spewing from faucets, elevators malfunctioning midride — everything began to calm down. By the end, things even seemed not just to be working, but to be working well. In sports, too, Russia prevailed, after a rough start during which, among other things, it faced the horrifying prospect of failing to win as many medals as Norway. In perhaps the most emotionally significant contest of the games, the Russian men’s ice hockey team lost to the United States, 3-2, in a shootout. The defeat sent Russia into collective gloom, the Russian coach into a vortex of self-flagellation and despair, and the Americans into the semifinals, where they promptly lost to Canada. But as if to make up for its setback, Russia

then proceeded to win another big-ticket sport, women’s figure skating. In a result that shocked many except, it seemed, the adoring Russian crowd and the skating judges (one of whom is married to the general director of the Russian figure skating federation), Adelina Sotnikova defeated the defending gold medalist, Yuna Kim of South Korea. In the end, Russia took home the most medals, 33, followed by the United States, with 28. Russia also won the most gold medals, 13, followed by Norway, with 11. Other memorable results will help define these games. Wearing cheery orange outfits, the Netherlands vacuumed up an extraordinary number of speedskating medals — 23 in all, eight of them gold. (In four of the events, the country had gold-silver-bronze sweeps.) Skier Ted Ligety, who fared poorly at the Vancouver Games, became the first American to win the men’s giant slalom.

Yet American snowboarder Shaun White, a two-time gold medalist, struggled in the halfpipe, ending up fourth. The event was won instead by the crazy-haired Swiss snowboarder Iouri Podladtchikov, who goes by the excellent nickname I-Pod. In an apparent violation of the snowboarders’ unwritten code of behavior, in which you are meant to pretend that it is fine if you win and equally fine if you lose, I-Pod celebrated his victory by delivering a thrilled, expletive-spiced variation on the Olympic slogan (“Hot. Cool. Yours.”) in which he replaced, among other things, “yours” with “mine.” Six new disciplines had been added since the Vancouver Games in 2010, including women’s ski jumping. Some of the additions were X Gamesstyle events that followed a trend in which athletes were pushing themselves to more and more daring and dangerous lengths. (Russian skier Maria Komissarova broke her back in training for the ski cross competition.) As the weather grew troubling for various reasons — first it was too hot, and the snow turned to slush; then fog rolled in, and events had to be postponed; then it seemed rain would wash everything away — athletes complained about poor conditions, and in some skiing events, competitor after competitor wiped out while going down the slopes. Some of the most dramatic moments at the games happened in biathlon, the sport that stirs Russians’ passions perhaps more than any other but hockey. The Russian team was emblematic of the country’s Olympic efforts. Mikhail D. Prokhorov, an oligarch, took over the troubled national biathlon federation in 2008 and poured millions of his own rubles into making it goldworthy. Just before the Sochi Games, a top Russian biathlete tested positive for a banned substance. Then, in Saturday’s men’s relay, the last event of the biathlon competition, Emil Hegle Svendsen of Norway fell apart during his final turn at shooting, ruining the chances of another medal for himself, his country and his celebrated teammate Ole Einar Bjorndalen, the éminence grise of the Norwegian team. In front of a thrilled crowd and volunteers so happy they broke into tears, Russia unexpectedly slipped ahead and, in a thrilling finish, won the relay. It seemed oddly fitting.

U.S.: Canadian athletes win more gold medals than Americans Continued from Page B-1 record-setting performance four years ago in Vancouver. That total — five less than won by Russia — would have been far less if U.S. athletes didn’t win nine medals, including five gold, in sports that made their debut in these games. To make matters worse, Canada won more gold medals than its much bigger neighbor for the second Olympics in a row. “We came here to compete,” said Alan Ashley, managing director of sport performance for the USOC. “We came here with a great team and they’ve done a great job. Things don’t always shake out exactly the way you think they’re going to, but the surprises are sometimes way more surprising than the disappointments.”

Among the disappointments were the biggest U.S. stars going into the games. Shaun White got shut out in snowboard and Lindsey Vonn didn’t even make the trip because of injury. But one new star was born. Teen skiing sensation Mikaela Shiffrin won gold in the women’s slalom and liked it so much that she was already making plans for a record-setting performance four years from now in South Korea. “Right now, I’m dreaming of the next Olympics [and] winning five gold medals, which sounds really crazy,” Shiffrin said the day after her win. “I’m sorry I just admitted that to you all.” Shiffrin’s win in her first Olympics couldn’t make up for the collapse of the U.S. speedskating team, which was blanked in old suits and new. Speeds-

katers were kept off the medal podium for the first time since 1984, despite a switch midway through the games back to their old suits. “Worst Olympics ever,” two-time gold medalist Shani Davis said. While the U.S. failed to win a medal on the Sochi big oval, skaters from the Netherlands piled on with eight golds and 23 medals overall in speedskating. “If you look at speedskating results, we weren’t the only nation that got smoked by the Netherlands,” said Scott Blackmun, CEO of the USOC. Things weren’t much better on the ice for U.S. figure skaters, who won a bronze in the new team event but were shut out individually. Charlie White and Meryl Davis took a bit of the sting out of that performance with a gold medal in ice dancing.

Meanwhile, both the men’s and women’s hockey team left disappointed. The women appeared on their way to winning gold before collapsing in the final minutes against Canada, while the men couldn’t score against either Canada or Finland, which handed the U.S. an embarrassing 5-0 loss in the bronze medal game. On the slopes, Shiffrin and Ted Ligety both win gold and the U.S. took five medals, making for a respectable showing. But the U.S. was shut out in the new sport of women’s ski jumping where Americans had looked promising, and there were no medals in either cross-country skiing or the biathlon, sports that Norway dominated. In addition to winning more golds than the U.S., Norway — with a population of just 5 million — finished just

two medals behind in the total with 26. Ashley said the U.S. medal haul was lower partly because other countries are becoming more competitive in winter sports. He said the team would have liked to have won more medals, but called their performance excellent anyway. If there is reason to be more optimistic heading toward the games in South Korea in 2018, team officials said it was the strong performance in new sports like ski and snowboard slopestyle and ski halfpipe. But replicating that success in extreme sports in future Olympics will be difficult, said Steve Roush, the former chief of sport performance for the USOC. “The rest of the world is catching up,” he said.

Collins takes to court as first openly gay player 35-year-old signs 10-day contract with Brooklyn Nets By Bernie Wilson The Associated Press

Canada beats Sweden 3-1 to take home hockey gold By Greg Beacham The Associated Press

SOCHI, Russia — Sidney Crosby skated in alone on Henrik Lundqvist, faking Sweden’s goalie to the ice with a textbook-quality deke and sliding a perfect backhand into the net. Canada did everything by the book at the Sochi Olympics, winning all six games with a ferocious commitment to defense and discipline. When Canada’s captain finally got his first goal of the games Sunday, it had none of the dramatics of Crosby’s last Olympic goal four years ago in Vancouver. But it was every bit as golden. Jonathan Toews scored in the first period, Carey Price made 24 saves in his second consecutive shutout, and Canada defended its Olympic men’s hockey title with a 3-0 victory over Sweden. “We’re just an amazing team to watch, the way we work together,” Toews said. “We were just all over them. It’s fun to be a part of.” Chris Kunitz also scored as the Canadians confirmed their worldwide dominance in their national game by winning the gold for the third time in the last four Olympics. No team in the NHL era has controlled a tournament like this group, which allowed just three goals in six games and never trailed at any point in the 12-day tournament on the shores of the Black Sea. “Not quite as dramatic as the other one,” Crosby said. “Just real solid all the way through. We knew the way we wanted to play, and the last couple of games, we were solid. With each game, we seemed to build more and more confidence.”

By the final event of the Sochi Olympics, that confidence was unshakable. Canada became the only repeat Olympic champ in the NHL era and the first team to go unbeaten through the Olympic tournament since the Soviet Union in Sarajevo in 1984. Canada won its record ninth Olympic hockey gold medal — its first outside North America since 1952 — and joined the women’s team to complete Canada’s second straight Olympic hockey sweep. The Canadians didn’t allow a goal in their final 164-plus minutes at the Bolshoy Ice Dome after the first period of the quarterfinals against Latvia, shutting out the U.S. and Sweden. Steve Yzerman, the architect of this roster for Hockey Canada, called it the greatest display of defensive hockey by any Canadian national team. Yzerman also said he’s stepping down as Canada’s Olympic executive director. The Swedes also were unbeaten until the final, but they couldn’t compete with Canada’s formidable defense and Price, a first-time gold medalist who played splendidly in Sochi, allowing three goals in five games. “That was the hardest-working team I’ve ever seen,” Price said. “I really can’t say enough about that group of defensemen and that overall team in front of me. Our work ethic was what won us this championship.” The Canadians exchanged hugs and leaped over the boards at the final horn, gathering at Price’s net for a celebration that had seemed inevitable since Crosby scored in the sec-

ond period. Toews, who scored on a first-period tip-in, and Crosby are among Canada’s 11 returning players from the 2010 championship team. Kunitz, widely criticized for failing to finish chances earlier in Sochi, capped the scoring with a vicious wrist shot in the third. If these games were the last with NHL players joining their national teams, Canada’s pros put on a landmark show. The NHL won’t decide for several months whether to allow its players to go to Pyeongchang. “It is amazing to see the guys that have the raw talent and ability commit themselves to doing all the little things right,” said Toews, who has two Stanley Cup titles and two Olympic gold medals at 25. “We knew that’s what it was going to take in this tournament to win the championship, and guys were willing to do that.” Lundqvist stopped 33 shots, but the depleted Swedes couldn’t keep pace with the new Big Red Machine in Russia. While Canada got goals from its two best centers, Sweden had to play without its top three centers. With Henrik Sedin and Henrik Zetterberg already out for the tournament, Nicklas Backstrom was scratched shortly before game time. Swedish Olympic officials said Backstrom had a positive drug test because of an allergy medicine. “With all the turnovers, Hank could only do so much for us,” Sweden captain Niklas Kronwall said. “We thought that if we played a perfect game, we’d have a chance. … It doesn’t feel great. I didn’t feel like we gave ourselves an honest chance.”

New generation of skiing stars emerges in Alpine competitions By Bill Pennington The New York Times

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia — One of the earliest images of the Alpine competition at the 2014 Winter Olympics was Bode Miller as he streaked down the treacherous downhill course far ahead of the field in training. Miller, an Olympian since 1998, was somehow turning back the clock and had made himself the favorite in the opening, and premier, ski racing event of the Sochi Games. Two weeks later, the 36-yearold Miller, hobbled by two sore knees, withdrew from the concluding men’s event, the slalom, which almost certainly was his last chance to create a final Olympic impression in a long and record-setting career. By then, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin had won the women’s slalom, 24-year-old Anna Fenninger had rescued a struggling Austrian ski team with two gutsy medal performances and another Austrian, 23-year-old Matthias Mayer, had defeated Miller in the downhill. The Alpine races of the Sochi Olympics were not strictly a youth movement. Tina Maze,

30 and in her prime, proved why she was the best women’s skier in the world last year with two gold medals, and Maria Höfl-Riesch, 29, continued her climb toward the Olympic women’s record for most Alpine medals with a gold and a silver. But there was an evident advance of the next generation of dominant skiers. While other recent Olympics featured Miller, Lindsey Vonn, Aksel Lund Svindal and Julia Mancuso, who combined for 10 medals at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the Sochi Games were a showcase for other faces, from Switzerland’s Lara Gut, who won her first Olympic medal, to Austria’s Nicole Hosp, who won two medals, to Italy’s Christof Innerhofer, who was a surprising two-time medalist. Vonn did not compete because of a knee injury, and Miller, Mancuso and Svindal combined to win two medals, both bronze. Looking ahead four years, the early story line is whether Vonn, Höfl-Riesch and Mancuso, who will all be 33 in 2018, will still be threats to skiers like Shiffrin, Fenninger and Gut, who is only 22.

Miller will probably be retired by 2018, as will Ivica Kostelic of Croatia, another medalist from the Sochi Games. Will Ted Ligety, the gold medalist in the giant slalom, still be a force four years from now when he is also 33? Or will it be the 22-year-old Alexis Pinturault’s turn? Pinturault, the French technical event specialist, won his first Olympic medal in Sochi. Or will the 2018 Winter Olympics make a star out of Norway’s Henrik Kristoffersen, who at 19 became the youngest male Alpine Olympic medalist with a bronze in the slalom on Saturday? There is ample time to ponder these questions, but change is looming. Miller, whose six Olympic medals are the second most in men’s Alpine history, may hold on until 2015, but it is hard to see him competing past that. Svindal, 31, a five-time world champion, was expected to win a medal in one or two events but instead was kept off the podium. Vonn has set the 2018 Olympics as a goal — and she’s good at goal-setting — but first she has to re-establish herself after a second major reconstructive knee operation. She may not return to racing until January.

LOS ANGELES — History? Pressure? Jason Collins would have none of it after becoming the NBA’s first active openly gay player. After all, it was almost game time. “Right now, I’m focusing on trying to learn the plays, learning the coverages and the game plan and the assignments. So I didn’t have time to really think about history,” Collins said at a crowded press conference less than an hour before his Brooklyn Nets faced the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night. Collins signed a 10-day contract with the Nets earlier Sunday and played in the first half against the Lakers, grabbing a rebound and committing a couple of fouls. The 35-year-old center revealed at the end of last season he is gay, but he was a free agent and had remained unsigned. Collins said he was aware of the magnitude of his signing, but repeatedly said he was most concerned with learning the Nets’ schemes. “The pressure is playing in an NBA game tonight, and last time I played in an NBA game was last April,” Collins said. “So I think that’s enough pressure right there.” With a need for another big man, the Nets turned to the 7-foot Collins, who helped them reach two NBA Finals in the early 2000s. “The decision to sign Jason was a basketball decision,” general manager Billy King said in a statement. “We needed to increase our depth inside, and with his experience and size, we felt he was the right choice for a 10-day contract.” Collins has played 12 NBA seasons, including his first seven with the Nets, when they were in New Jersey and Jason Kidd was their point guard. Kidd is now the Nets’ coach and Collins has been a teammate of several other current Nets. “Jason told us that his goal was to earn another contract with an NBA team. Today, I want to commend him on achieving his goal. I know everyone in the NBA family is excited for him and proud that our league fosters an inclusive and respectful environment,” Commissioner Adam Silver said. The Nets worked out Collins during the All-Star break and met with him again Sunday, with his twin brother, Jarron, hinting that history would be made. “Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. Today should be a pretty cool day!” Jarron Collins wrote on Twitter. The news on Jason Collins comes as Michael Sam, the SEC co-defensive player of the year from Missouri who recently revealed he is gay, is taking part in the NFL draft combine. Sam’s on-field workouts in Indianapolis are scheduled for Monday. Collins was asked if he felt the tide is turning regarding gay players coming out, including Sam. “I hope so. What Michael said was it was about him being a football player and me being a basketball player, and going out there and trying to help our respective teams win,” Collins said. He played 38 games last season with Boston and Washington and averaged 1.1 points and 1.6 rebounds in limited minutes. For his career, the 7-foot Collins averages 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds. “I’m a solid veteran, and hopefully I’ll be in the right place” on the court, Collins said.

“I know I can execute the game plan. It’s just about focusing on the task at hand and not thinking about history or anything along those lines. I just want to make it difficult for the Lakers tonight.” Collins entered the game with 10:28 left in the second quarter and the Nets leading 35-26 after Nick Young made the first of his two free throws. The crowd welcomed him with a nice ovation when public address announcer Lawrence Tanter announced his name. Collins’ announcement last spring was followed by numerous NBA players insisting he would be welcomed in the locker room. Collins has played for five other teams and is well respected inside and outside the league — he attended the State of the Union as a guest of first lady Michelle Obama. “I just know Jason as a person and as a player. That’s what I’m happy about. He has earned it. He’s a great guy. It’s good for the league. The important thing is to judge him as a person and a basketball player,” Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I know people who have coached him, and I know how highly thought of he is.” Former Suns player Kevin Johnson, now Sacramento’s mayor, said he saw Collins two weeks ago at the White House “and I thanked him for his courage and being strong and wished him well and to keep fighting hard. “I think it’s incredible for him. I think it’s incredible for the league. If I’m on the Nets, my commitment is I want to get in the playoffs and I want to go far. All that is fine but I need him to win games and I think he’s up for that challenge.” The Nets had an opening for a big man after trading Reggie Evans along with Jason Terry to Sacramento on Wednesday for guard Marcus Thornton. King said Thursday that Collins would be among the players they would look at, insisting they wouldn’t be concerned about any extra attention the signing of Collins would provide. “We’re going to bring in a basketball player,” King said. “It’s not about marketing or anything like that.” The Nets posted a photo on their Twitter account of Kidd watching Collins sign his contract, encouraging followers to retweet it

Miami takes down Chicago The Associated Press

MIAMI — With LeBron James watching from the bench in a suit and tie, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade powered the Miami Heat to a Heat 93 93-79 victory over the ChiBulls 79 cago Bulls on Sunday. James was a late scratch after he broke his nose in Thursday’s win at Oklahoma City, and his teammates picked up the slack, with reserves Chris Andersen, Michael Beasley and Ray Allen helping the Heat pull away in the second half. Bosh had 28 points and 10 rebounds. Wade added 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. The Bulls also were also shorthanded. Starter Jimmy Butler was a late scratch because of bruised ribs. Joakim Noah had 20 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks for Chicago, which had won five in a row. The Bulls shot 36 percent. CLIPPERS 125, THUNDER 117 In Oklahoma City, Jamal Crawford scored 36 points to help the Clippers get the win. Matt Barnes scored 24 points, and Chris Paul had 18 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds for the Clippers, who snapped a two-game skid. Kevin Durant had 42 points and 10 assists, and Serge Ibaka added 20 points for the Thunder, who lost their second straight. It was the most points the Thunder have allowed this season. Oklahoma City overcame a 15-point deficit late in the third quarter to take a 115-112 lead on a 3-pointer by Durant with 2:43 to play, but the Clippers controlled the game from there. KINGS 109, NUGGETS 95 In Denver, Isaiah Thomas scored 33 points, Rudy Gay had 32 and Sacramento earned its first win in Denver in six years.

DeMarcus Cousins added 27 points for the Kings, who snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. It was Sacramento’s first win in the Mile High City since a 118-115 victory on April 5, 2008. The Kings have won three of their last four games overall. Randy Foye and Evan Fournier each scored 27 points for the slumping Nuggets, who lost for the seventh time in the last eight games. The Nuggets fell to 1-5 without leading scorer Ty Lawson, who missed a sixth game because of a fractured left rib. WIZARDS 96, CAVALIERS 83 In Cleveland, John Wall scored 21 points and Bradley Beal had 17, leading Washington to the road victory. The Wizards held the Cavaliers to 11 fourthquarter points to return to .500 at 28-28 on the season. They also strengthened their hold on the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The strong defensive performance in the final period came after Washington lost Nene to a sprained left knee midway through the third quarter. He had eight points, four rebounds and four assists in 21 minutes. Luol Deng led Cleveland with 17 points. The Cavaliers played without center Anderson Varejao (sore back) and guards Dion Waiters (hyperextended left knee) and C.J. Miles (sprained left ankle). RAPTORS 105, MAGIC 90 In Toronto, Kyle Lowry scored 28 points, DeMar DeRozan had 24, and the Raptors handed the Magic their 15th straight road loss. Terrence Ross scored 16 and Amir Johnson had 12 points and eight rebounds before leaving with a sprained right ankle in the Raptors’ fifth victory in six games. Toronto improved to 12-3 in its past 15 home games and moved six games above .500 for the first time since Feb 24, 2010, when its record was also 31-25.

Subject: WOMEN’S NAMES AS BOOK

Dear Annie: My son recently said something that embarrassed me and kept me awake most of the night. My wife and I were at his home for dinner, along with my daughter and several others. We were talking about TV, and my son mentioned a show where a guy does all kinds of things to save money. He said to my daughter, “If you think your daddy is cheap, you should see this guy.” I said nothing at the time because I didn’t want to spoil the occasion. But evidently, he and my daughter both think I am cheap. Annie, I put both of them through college, and so they don’t owe any money. I worked three jobs so my son could attend a prestigious university out East. They have never wanted for anything. It’s been three months, and I’m still hurting. Any advice? — Disappointed Dad Dear Dad: No one wants to be thought of as cheap, especially by his own children. But we don’t think your son or daughter intended to be hurtful. What you consider sensibly frugal, they undoubtedly recall as you saying “no” to their innumerable requests for toys, gifts, vacations, etc., and how pleased you were when you saved a penny here and there. But please don’t let this fester, as it could damage your relationship with your children. Talk to your son and tell him how much his comment hurt you. We hope he’ll be more aware of your feelings in the future. Dear Annie: I have been a widow for three years. My husband was my first love, and we were married for 36 years. I have now met a man who seems similar to my late husband. I really like “Don,” but I worry that he only wants a caregiver. When we first met, I asked whether he had any health issues, and he said no. But after our second date, he started saying our relationship wasn’t mov-

ing fast enough. After a month, Don ended up in the hospital with a mild heart attack, for which he needed a stent. A week later, he was back in the hospital. I think Don lied to me about his health and is looking for someone to be a nursemaid. I like him, but I’m not willing to put forth that kind of effort for a man who has lied to me. I don’t mean to sound callous, but I don’t want to take care of a stranger. It is different when you have loved someone for a while, as opposed to walking into a relationship with someone who already has health problems. Am I doing the right thing by breaking it off, or should I go along and see what is ahead for us? I really am confused. — Don’t Want To Be Saddled So Soon Dear Don’t: Heart attacks are generally unexpected, so unless Don was aware that he had heart problems, he may not have been lying about his health. And over time, health problems are more likely to arise in any relationship. However, we are more concerned that Don seems to be rushing things. You should never feel pressured to move faster than what makes you comfortable. If you enjoy Don’s company, there’s no reason not to continue seeing him, but make it clear that you are in no hurry. If he wants a caregiver, he should look elsewhere. Dear Annie: I read the responses to “I Need Nice Clothes, Too,” about large-size clothing selections. My complaint is about petite sizes for mature women. There is no selection at all. It’s as if we are being discriminated against because we are short. We like to dress fashionably. We wear coats, pajamas, slacks and dresses, but few stores carry petite sizes, and fewer still have clothing suitable for anyone over 12. I’m sure it’s the same problem for tall women. — Warren, Ohio

Today in history Today is Monday, Feb. 24, the 55th day of 2014. There are 310 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Feb. 24, 1864, according to the National Park Service, the first Union prisoners arrived at the Confederates’ Andersonville prison camp in Georgia. During its 14 months of existence, the overcrowded camp ended up holding some 45,000 men, more than four times its intended capacity; nearly 13,000 prisoners perished.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Share a vision with others, whether it involves your personal life or work. Understand that you can’t control anyone but yourself. Tonight: As you like it.
