Analysis offers alternatives for future plutonium pit production

Report: More could be produced for less by modifying existing LANL facilities or moving work elsewhere By Staci Matlock

Los Alamos National Laboratory is the only place making plutonium pits for nuclear warheads, and the lab has spent years and millions of

plutonium production facilities. “Several options have the potential to produce 80 pits per year and permit other plutonium activities at relatively modest cost, in a relatively short time, with no new buildings and with minimal environmental impact,” said the report by Jonathan E.

‘12 Years’ takes top Oscar

Event celebrates art of handwriting, writing as form of self-expression By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Annabelle Farmer, 15, expressed disappointment that schools rarely teach cursive handwriting anymore. “It’s important that everything you do be as good as it can be in appearance,” she said while displaying her cursive skills in a workshop during the annual Santa Fe Pen Fair on Sunday. She and her sister, Natasha, 17, were working on their slant lines under calligraphy artist Sherry Bishop’s watchful eyes. Bishop said the craft of penmanship connects the “head, heart and hands” in an act of selfexpression that cannot be duplicated by the typing of a computer keyboard. The pen fair, in its 19th year, featured the wares of about 20 pen companies. Neal Frank, owner of Santa Fe Pens in Sanbusco Market Center and host of the event, said people remain enamored with pens despite the easy access of technological devices. “Businesspeople still realize that a handwritten note to a client carries more weight than an email, text or even a fax,” he said. He said that when it comes to pens, the world is divided into two sets of people: “those who know and appreciate a good pen and those who stole their pen from the bank.” Margaret Wood is not a pen thief. She bought a Mark Twain Pen, first patented with Twain’s OK in the late 1890s, from dealer Ross Cameron during Sunday’s fair. “I like the history and aesthetics of it,” she said.

Historical drama named best picture, a first for a film by a black director

Calligraphy artist Sherry Bishop says the craft of penmanship connects the ‘head, heart and hands’ in an act of self-expression that cannot be duplicated by the typing of a computer keyboard.

Steve McQueen’s slavery odyssey, based on Solomon Northup’s 1853 memoir, has been hailed as a landmark corrective to the movie industry’s long omission of slavery stories, following years of whiter tales like 1940 best-picture winner Gone With the Wind.

ver the past few centuries, human societies have changed dramatically. We travel, make things, treat illnesses and communicate in ways our ancestors could have never imagined. All this has led some to conclude that human societies are fundamentally different today than they were in the past, but I’m not so sure. Some research I’ve been doing lately suggests just the opposite: Our technologies might have changed in amazing ways, but our societies still follow some of the same basic rules that shaped ancient civilizations. I’ve had the privilege of seeing this first hand in several ways. As an archaeologist, I have studied continuities between the past and

Some couples struggle for balance when one loses job By Rachel L. Swarns

The New York Times

MIDWEST’S WINTER WEATHER FUN FOR SOME

Mila Olias, 10, and her dog Momo take a sled run down a sidewalk Sunday in Richmond Heights, Mo. A winter storm packing high winds, ice and heavy snow threatened to create hazardous driving conditions across Kansas and Missouri, accompanied by wind chills approaching 25 below zero in some areas. DAVID CARSON/ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

In brief

Separatists blamed for knife attack in China KUNMING, China — Authorities on Sunday blamed a slashing rampage that killed 29 people and wounded 143 at a train station in southern China on separatists from the country’s far west, while local residents said government crackdowns had taken their toll on the alleged culprits. Police fatally shot four of the assailants — putting the overall death toll at 33 — and captured another after the attack late Saturday in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province, the official Xinhua News Agency said. But authorities were searching for at least five more of the black-clad attackers. State broadcaster CCTV said two of the assailants were women, including one of the slain and the one detained. The attackers’ identities have not been confirmed, but evidence at the scene showed that it was “a terrorist attack carried out by Xinjiang separatist forces,” Xinhua said. The far western region of Xinjiang is home to a simmering rebellion against Chinese rule by some members of the Muslim Uighur population, and the government has responded there with heavy-handed security.

Taliban inmates escape from Afghan prison KABUL, Afghanistan — For the fourth time in a decade, Taliban insurgents have escaped from the heavily guarded Sarposa Prison in Kandahar, Afghan officials

confirmed Sunday. The prison break Tuesday was smaller than previous episodes, in which hundreds of prisoners escaped, but it was particularly embarrassing. This time, someone altered an official document, letting at least 10 prisoners walk out the front gate in broad daylight, unchallenged, officials said. The escapees were believed to be among the most prominent insurgents being held at Sarposa on terrorism charges, followers of a particularly notorious Taliban commander, Mullah Dad Mohammad Munib, who specialized in orchestrating assassinations and suicide bombings. “This is humiliating,” said Hajji Agha Lalai, a member of the Kandahar Provincial Council, who like many officials said it was clear that the escapees had help from inside the prison. Afghan officials did not confirm the prison break until Sunday.

New Mexican wire services Despite daily invocations of his mentor,

and control of the powerful party apparatus he inherited, Maduro is increasingly on his own in a fight against a destabilizing wave of anti-government protests fueled by the lessheralded aspects of Chávez’s legacy: rampant crime, 56 percent inflation and widespread shortages of staples from corn flour to toilet paper. While the crisis besetting Venezuela has its origins in Chávez’s state-centered management of the oil-rich economy, the late president still stands larger than life among traditional have-nots like Villanueva, the owner of a fast-food stand who credits Chávez’s 21st century socialism for being able to send his three children to college.

Eliza Stoker breezed in from the office that evening in September, ready for a drink and a quiet dinner. Then she saw her husband slumped on the couch and she knew. She could see it in his face. She could feel it in the air. “He said, ‘I lost my job today,’ ” Stoker said of her husband, Josh Buller. “It’s that moment: your worst nightmare coming true. It was, like, panic mode.” They took turns crying, she said. Then they got to work. Scribbling on the back of a Harper’s Magazine, they itemized the expenses they could eliminate: the cleaning lady, cable, charitable donations, dinners out. They assessed their bills and their bank accounts. Buller, who designs luggage and handbags, was the bigger breadwinner, but they reassured each other that they could get by for a while, even without his steady paycheck. They gave little thought to how they would cope as a couple. We talk about unemployment in terms of the numbers, the hundreds of thousands of people without work or the dwindling number of dollars in our pockets. But joblessness and underemployment often affect relationships in ways that are hard to predict or quantify, disordering routines, fueling anxieties and quarrels, and widening the distance between spouses. Married for seven years, Stoker and Buller found the rhythms of their comfortable Brooklyn lives completely upended. After years of working 8 to 5 in Manhattan, Buller struggled to figure out a new schedule. Should he sleep in and work late? Should he exercise at dawn or fill out online job applications at sunrise? Some days, he didn’t get dressed at all. He stopped shaving and grew a beard. (“You’re looking a little mountain manish,” his wife told him.) The date nights they relished fell victim to their economizing. Yet Buller, 35, repeatedly pressed his wife to socialize, even when she was eager to decompress. “I feel antsy and house bound,” he said. Meanwhile, Stoker, 42, who recruits talent for legal departments and works on commission, worried about his frame of mind. In 2010, she went without work for nearly a year after graduating from law school. It was a searing experience, she said, leaving her unnerved by life’s precariousness. Buller never talked about such anxieties as the months flew by without any job offers. He seemed stoic as he networked on LinkedIn and retooled his website to try to jump-start his freelance business, Josh Buller Design. “ ‘Are you lonely?’ ” Stoker said she often asks. “ ‘Are you depressed? What’s happening with you?’ I worry that he’s not being open with me about what he’s going through.” His joblessness even transformed the physical space they share. Their spacious bedroom, where Stoker once loved to watch TV, is now Buller’s home office. Their bed sits in a cramped dressing room. And as for housekeeping in the post-cleaning-lady era? “I come home exhausted and I’m just not doing it,” Stoker said about cleaning up the dishes she left in the sink and the clothes she dropped on the floor. To prod her husband, she tried to joke: “ ‘Remember when I said that I’m not going to turn you into my house husband? Well, you could do the dishes.’ ” That wasn’t amusing to Buller, who was convinced that he could become a successful freelancer. “I don’t want her assuming that I’m eating bonbons on the couch and not cleaning the bathrooms,” he said. “I don’t think of myself as unemployed. I work from home.” By December, he had found a paying client. Then he found a couple more. Suddenly, his business was percolating. But they still lack a steady, reliable income. “It’s scary,” she said, “but it’s the new normal.”

WORLD

The Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine — Warning that it was “on the brink of disaster,” Ukraine put its military on high alert Sunday and appealed for international help to avoid what it feared was the possibility of a wider invasion by Russia. Outrage over Russia’s military moves mounted in world capitals, with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry calling on President Vladimir Putin to pull back from “an incredible act of aggression.” A day after Russia captured the Crimean Peninsula without firing a shot, fears grew in the Ukrainian capital and beyond that Russia might seek to expand its control by seizing other parts of eastern Ukraine. Senior Obama administration officials said the U.S. now believes that Russia has complete operational control of Crimea, a pro-Russian area of the country, and has more than 6,000 troops in the region. Faced with the Russian threat, Ukraine’s new government moved to consolidate its authority, naming new regional governors in the pro-Russia east, enlisting the support of the country’s wealthy businessmen and dismissing the head of the country’s navy after he declared allegiance to the pro-Russian government in Crimea.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said there was no reason for Russia to invade Ukraine. “We believe that our Western partners and the entire global community will support the territorial integrity and unity of Ukraine,” he said Sunday in Kiev. World leaders rushed to try to find a diplomatic solution to the crisis. NATO held an emergency meeting in Brussels, Britain’s foreign minister flew to Kiev to support its new government and Kerry was to travel to Ukraine on Tuesday. The U.S., France and Britain debated the possibility of boycotting the next Group of Eight economic summit, to be held in June in Sochi, the host of Russia’s successful Winter Olympics. On Sunday evening, the White House issued a joint statement on behalf of the Group of Seven saying they are suspending participation in the planning for the upcoming summit because Russia’s advances in the Ukraine violate the “principles and values” on which the G-7 and G-8 operate. In Kiev, Moscow and other cities, thousands of protesters took to the streets to either decry the Russian occupation or celebrate Crimea’s return to its former ruler. “Support us, America!” a group of protesters chanted outside the U.S. Embassy in Kiev. One young girl held up a

placard reading: “No Russian aggression!” “Russia! Russia!” the crowd chanted in Moscow. Kerry, interviewed on U.S. television news shows, talked about boycotting the G-8 summit, as well as possible visa bans, asset freezes and trade and investment penalties against Russia. President Barack Obama also spoke Sunday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, and Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski. NATO issued a statement saying it “condemns Russia’s military escalation in Crimea” and demanding that Russia respect its obligations under the U.N. charter. Ukraine is not a NATO member, meaning the U.S. and Europe are not obligated to come to its defense, but the country has taken part in some alliance exercises. “We are on a very dangerous track,” German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said. But “it is still possible to turn around. A new division of Europe can still be prevented.” So far, however, Ukraine’s new government and the West have been powerless to counter Russia’s tactics. Armed men in uniforms without insignia have moved freely about Crimea for days, occupying airports, smashing equipment at an air base and besieging a Ukrainian infantry base.

Science: Rules of settlements span time, cultures Continued from Page A-1 It all started when I attended a lecture by the Santa Fe Institute’s Geoffrey West on mathematical regularities of modern cities. This is an emerging and very exciting area of research that is demonstrating that cities throughout the modern world follow similar mathematical rules. After that talk, it occurred to me that I had on my computer data from an archaeological survey gathered 50 years ago in the Valley of Mexico, before it was paved over by today’s Mexico City. From the 13th century to the beginning of the 16th century, when the Spanish arrived, this area was the heartland of the Aztec Empire. I was curious whether this ancient New World civilization — which had no connection to the modern world or even to Old World cities — followed the same rules as the modern cities. So I checked it out, and lo and behold, it appeared that they might. This was an intriguing result with potentially deep implications because, let’s be honest, ancient Mexican cities appear to have little in common with today’s cities, other than that they were created by humans living on the same planet. Needless to say, I contacted West and Santa Fe Institute professor Luis Bettencourt to tell them about my little experiment. They responded with similar amazement, and shortly thereafter, Bettencourt and I began collaborating to see whether this initial result really stood up to scrutiny. Bettencourt has long studied how modern cities vary with size. He’s done it by analyzing vast amounts of municipal data and developing a series of formulas that derive the observed mathematical relationships from basic elements of human social life. His work suggests that scaling relationships seen in modern cities emerges from individuals finding an intuitive balance between the costs of moving around with the benefits of the social interactions this moving around enables. Because these are properties of human social networks regardless of the context, I reasoned this theory should apply to ancient civilizations, too, and that we could test it by applying it to the archaeological data from pre-Hispanic central Mexico that I had been playing around with. Working together, our team — myself, Bettencourt, Jennie Sturm of The University of New Mexico and Andrew Cabaniss of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill — compiled, standardized and analyzed a great deal more data from obscure archaeological reports for several thousand Aztec settlements. Our work paid off. It showed that the ancient settlement system of the Valley of Mexico is not only consistent with our theory, but it also exhibits the same relative mathematical scaling properties observed in modern cities. Our findings, which have just been published in a scientific journal, suggest the basic principles of human settlement organization may apply to the entire range of human history, regardless of how far apart settlements might be in time, space or culture. The implications are potentially profound. Despite the fact that today’s cities are very different from those of the past, they lie on a continuum with the earliest human settlements. This can give us new insight into how and why cities emerged in the first place. It also suggests that if we can learn more about the ways past peoples successfully concentrated their social networks in space — despite environmental or technological constraints — we might be able to design betterfunctioning cities in the future. By working together, we hit upon something none of us could have recognized or demonstrated on our own from the narrow perspectives of our individual fields. I think this is a good example of why scientific research, especially when it bridges disciplines, is critically important for our future, even if we’re not always sure exactly where that research is going. Scott Ortman is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder and former Omidyar fellow. His research focuses on historical anthropology, or the integration of theory and data from many fields to understand the long-term histories of indigenous peoples. He is especially interested in the causes and consequences of major transitions — periods when new societies formed, old ones collapsed or new scales of organization emerged, as well as complex systems approaches to human societies in collaboration with the Santa Fe Institute.

Academy stakes claim to social advocacy By Alessandra Stanley

The New York Times

While 12 Years a Slave won best picture, for much of the evening, it was gay rights, not race, that held Hollywood’s attention at the Oscars. Jared Leto dragged the real world into Sunday night’s celebration of make-believe. After winning the best supporting actor award for portraying a transgender AIDS patient in Dallas Buyers Club, Leto voiced support for protesters in Ukraine and Venezuela. He championed gay people. “To those of you out there who have ever felt injustice because of who you are or who you love, tonight I stand here in front of the world with you and for you.” Hollywood is so righteous, suddenly, about gay rights, and that’s a little puzzling because for so long, movies were part of the problem. Professional basketball has its first openly gay player, Jason Collins, but it’s still hard to think of romantic leads — male or female — who are A-list Hollywood movie stars and also openly gay. When stars talk about their solidarity with gay people, they can sound a little like the French describing the Resistance during World War II — there were some heroes, but the vast majority collaborated. Dallas Buyers Club was a lowbudget indie film that according to its star, Matthew McConaughey, was turned down 137 times. It’s bold, but not even all that daring: the film, which is based on a true story, has as its lead character a straight man with AIDS. (When he accepted the best actor award, McConaughey praised God, his family and himself, but didn’t mention AIDS victims.) No movie studio wanted to make Behind the Candelabra, a biography

Jared Leto accepts the award for best actor in a supporting role for Dallas Buyers Club during Sunday’s Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles. ‘To those of you out there who have ever felt injustice because of who you are or who you love, tonight I stand here in front of the world with you and for you,’ Leto said. JOHN SHEARER/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

of Liberace, so HBO took it on. In May, HBO will also show The Normal Heart, Larry Kramer’s play about the HIV and AIDS crisis in the 1980s. Hollywood studios passed on it for more than 20 years. Despite what many conservatives maintain, Hollywood doesn’t set the social agenda. More often it timidly trails the culture, then belatedly buys in and turns up the music. Ellen DeGeneres is an exception. She came out in 1997 and ABC canceled her sitcom, Ellen, in 1998; her career took a nose dive. (She has since recovered nicely.) As the Oscars MC, DeGeneres was more lighthearted about gay issues, perhaps because her conscious is so clear. She alluded to her own orientation playfully, joking that in The Wolf

of Wall Street, Jonah Hill, “showed us something in that film that I have not seen in a very, very long time.” She was expected to be a kinder, gentler host than last year’s, Seth MacFarlane, and she was, but she also had some bite. She marveled over, as she put it, “one of the most amazing Liza Minnelli impersonators that I have seen in my entire life.” As the camera panned to the real — and startled — Minnelli, DeGeneres told her, “Good job, sir.” DeGeneres, who hosted for the first time in 2007, once again brought a touch of daytime television to the black-tie event. She wore sneakers with a white tuxedo and clowned in the aisles much the way she does on her talk show, taking selfies with stars like Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep, then

Oscar: ‘Gravity’ wins most awards Continued from Page A-1 bounced into the arms of his cast. “This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup.” A year after celebrating Ben Affleck’s Argo over Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences opted for stark realism over plainly entertaining candidates like the 3-D space marvel Gravity and the starry 1970s caper American Hustle. Those two films came in as the leading nominee recipients. David O. Russell’s American Hustle went home empty-handed, but Gravity triumphed as the night’s top awardwinner. Cleaning up in technical categories like cinematography and visual effects, it earned seven Oscars including best director for Alfonso Cuarón. The Mexican filmmaker is the category’s first Latino winner. “It was a transformative experience,” said Cuarón, who spent some five years making the film and developing its visual effects. “For a lot of people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was the color of my hair.” To his star Sandra Bullock, the sole person on screen for much of the lost-in-space drama, he said: “Sandra, you are Gravity.” But history belonged to 12 Years a Slave, a modestly budgeted drama produced by Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, that has made $50 million worldwide — a far cry from the more than $700 million Gravity has hauled in. It marks the first time a film directed by a black filmmaker has won best picture. Host Ellen DeGeneres, in a nimble second stint that seemed designed to be an antidote to the crude humor of Seth MacFarlane last year, summarized the academy’s options in her opening monologue: “Possibility number one: 12 Years a Slave wins best picture. Possibility number two: You’re all racists.” DeGeneres presided over a smooth if safe ceremony, punctuated by politics, pizza and photo-bombing. Freely circulating in the crowd,

she had pizza delivered, appealing to Harvey Weinstein to pitch in, and gathered stars to snap a selfie she hoped would be a record-setter on Twitter (It was: Long before midnight, the photo had been retweeted more than 2 million times). One participant, Meryl Streep, giddily exclaimed: “I’ve never tweeted before!” But in celebrating a movie year roundly called an exceptional one, the Oscars fittingly spread the awards around. The starved stars of the Texas AIDS drama Dallas Buyers Club were feted: Matthew McConaughey for best actor and Jared Leto for best supporting actor. McConaughey’s award capped a startling career turnaround, a conscious redirection by the actor to tack away from the romantic comedies he regularly starred in, and move toward more challenging films. He said he’s always chasing a better version of himself, his “hero”: “Every day, every week, every month of my life, my hero’s always 10 years away.” “It sort of feels like a culmination,” he said backstage. Leto passed around his Oscar to members of the press backstage, urging them to “fondle” it. The longhaired actor, who has devoted himself in recent years to his rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, gravely vowed: “I will revel tonight.” Cate Blanchett took best actress for her fallen socialite in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, her second Oscar. Accepting the award, she challenged Hollywood not to think of films starring women as “niche experiences”: “The world is round, people!” she said to hearty applause. Draped in Nairobi blue, Lupita Nyong’o — the Cinderella of the awards season — won best supporting actress for her indelible impression as the tortured slave Patsey. It’s the feature film debut for the 31-yearold actress. “It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life

tweeting them for real. At one point, she interrupted the proceedings to order pizzas and distribute slices to the stars, saying she needed cash for the delivery boy. “Where’s Harvey Weinstein?” It says something about pre-ceremony celebrity starvation that quite a few in the front rows, including Jennifer Lawrence, took big bites. If the Super Bowl is a secular Christmas that everyone can celebrate, the Oscar ceremony is Easter: the red carpet dress-up parade and those long acceptance speeches are all part of the ritual. But some traditions, notably the Academy’s insistence on handing out technical awards early in the evening, are tiresome. It can start to feel like a high school graduation where diplomas are handed out alphabetically, and your child’s last name begins with Z. It was almost two hours before the best supporting actress was announced. When she took the stage with aplomb, in a lovely pale blue Prada dress, Lupita Nyong’o of 12 Years a Slave did not disappoint. “It doesn’t escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s,” she said. (She was referring to the slave character she played, not viewers bored by technical awards.) There was little chance that the producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, who produced a Judy Garland television movie, would let the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz go by without a tribute. They got Pink, who has a huge gay following, to sing “Over the Rainbow,” and she did it with proper deference, without a trapeze but instead in a conventional red evening gown against a backdrop of scenes from the movie. She got a standing ovation.

“People like fatter pens,” he said. “They write larger and there’s less stress on your grip.” Of course, folks in olden days used all sorts of writing tools to drop their friends a line. In a small room down the hall from the commercial pen dealers’ table Sunday, Bishop showed how one can dip a pair of chopsticks, the blade of a yucca plant and a porcupine quill into an inkwell to write. “It’s really all about making marks,” she said. The pens showcased at Sunday’s fair ranged in price from about $10 to $10,000, Frank said.

“But most of all, I like how it writes.” And that, according to Bishop, Frank and others at the fair, is what it is all about. Whether it is an official Harley-Davidson-sanctioned pen or one that is decorated like a playing card, what really counts is how it feels in your hand. Frank can quickly rattle off the history of the pen — the first official fountain pen was invented around 1881 by a salesman who was not happy to lose a client to a rival firm because of a faulty old-fashioned ink pen, he explained. Frank said that pens have put on weight over the Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 years, but no one is complaining. or rnott@sfnewmexican.com.

is thanks to so much pain in someone else’s, and so I want to salute the spirit of Patsy for her guidance,” said Nyong’o. She also thanked director Steve McQueen: “I’m certain that the dead are standing about you and they are watching and they are grateful, and so am I.” Though the ceremony lacked a big opening number, it had a steady musical beat to it. To a standing ovation, Bono and U2 performed an acoustic version of “Ordinary Love,” their Oscar-nominated song from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, a tune penned in tribute to the late South African leader Nelson Mandela. Singing his nominated “Happy” from Despicable Me 2, Pharrell Williams had Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio dancing in the aisles. Pink was cheered for her rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” part of a 75th anniversary tribute to The Wizard of Oz. And Bette Midler sang — what else? — “Wind Beneath My Wing” for the in memoriam segment — an especially heartfelt one, considering the deaths of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Harold Ramis, James Gandolfini and others. Best documentary went to the crowd-pleasing backup singer ode 20 Feet From Stardom. One of its stars, Darlene Love, accepted the award singing the gospel tune “His Eye Is on the Sparrow”: “I sing because I’m happy/I sing because I’m free.” Disney’s global hit Frozen won best animated film, marking — somewhat remarkably — the studio’s first win in the 14 years of the best animated feature category. (Pixar, which Disney owns, has regularly dominated.) With a boxoffice that recently passed $1 billion globally, the film was sure to be the biggest hit to take home an Oscar on Sunday. The film’s “Let It Go” won best original song. “We’re all just trying to make films that touch people,” said co-director Chris Buck backstage. “Once in a while, you get lucky.”

In addition, buildings with plutonium need high security to prevent terrorists from attempting to steal the metal and use it in improvised nuclear weapons, according to the Congressional Research Service report.

ried out in the Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Building, which opened in 1952. Medalia said in a mid-February presentation that a congressional commission described the facility as “genuinely decrepit” and “structurally unsound.” In particular, it isn’t built to withstand earthquakes, a risk in Los Alamos, which is built on seismic faults. A seismic expert Medalia talked to for the report says that in any given decade there’s a 1-in-36 chance of the building collapsing from an earthquake. The agency wants to move all plutonium research and operations out of the building by 2019. Pit production at Los Alamos also has taken place at another facility called PF-4, but there are concerns that building won’t withstand an earthquake.

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Amor por la música y la vida Por John Knoll

Para The New Mexican

rwin Sagche ha ganado el derecho a entonar el blues pero no lo hace. En cambio, canta sobre la alegría de estar vivo mientras encarna su capítulo del sueño americano. Sagche, un inmigrante guatemalteco, es músico, gerente de un restaurante, estudiante del Santa Fe Community College y bombero voluntario del condado de Santa Fe. También es padre de dos niñas, Sofía de 7 años y Lesli de 2 años, junto a su esposa, Amelia. “Mi familia es el orgullo de mi vida,” dice Sagche, 33, quien se siente afortunado de vivir en Santa Fe, donde su familia y él pueden prosperar. “También estoy orgulloso de tener amigos con quienes tocar música y la oportunidad de obtener una buena educación.” Pero su vida no siempre ha sido fácil. A los 11 años de edad, Sagche perdió a su madre, quien falleció durante un choque de autobús en Guatemala. “Mi madre iba camino de San Antonio, mi pueblo natal, a la ciudad de Guatemala, donde vendía verduras en el mercado,” comenta. Después de tres años el destino le tenía algo más preparado. Su padre, un guitarrista, regresaba de Guatemala en camión después de una presentación en una estación de radio. “Su autobús salió del camino y murió,” dice Sagche. “Era el mismo sendero en la montaña en que mi mamá pereció.” Con ambos padres muertos, Sagche se mudó a San Antonio con una hermana mayor. Así comenzó su primer trabajo, forrando féretros de madera con terciopelo para un tío. También descubrió su pasión al tocar la guitarra. Sagche traía la música en la sangre.

Home sales in Santa Fe rise 23 percent By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

he Santa Fe Association of Realtors will announce the details at its media breakfast Jan. 16, but the news is now official: 2012 was the best year for residential home sales since 2007. Alan Ball, an agent with Keller Williams Santa Fe who keeps monthly sales data, reports residential sales hit 1,641 last year — up 23 percent from 2011. But as we’ve reported here all year, that does not mean all is well with the sellers. Due to distressed short sales and foreclosures, the average sales prices dropped 6 percent in 2012 to $421,577. But the year ended with a bang as December saw 150 sales — and the fourth quarter itself saw three strong months in a row, and that despite the fiscal uncertainties coming from Washington, D.C. uuu

His business is hopping

Knowledge about beer-making given and received at Santa Fe Homebrew Supply

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

ami Nordby doesn’t sell beer — he just sells all the materials a person needs to make it at Santa Fe Homebrew Supply. Nordby stocks wine-making, beercrafting and cheese-curdling materials, though the majority of his business comes from brewers. To that end, he stocks supplies for extract brewing, which he said can be easier but costs more on the ingredients end, and for all-grain-brewing, a more time-intensive process. He said that in the past, beermakers made up 85 percent of his total sales, though he said the recent crop of fruit in the state has sent more winemakers his way. And while he doesn’t have a product he’d call his best-seller, he said he does sell a lot of brewing starter kits and recipe packs that include every ingredient needed for a single batch. To that end, he can also help brewers come up with new recipes or order speciality items. “There are so many directions people can go,” Nordby said at his shop on Thursday. “Imagination is the only limit.” Nordby’s shop is split roughly into two sections: equipment in the storefront and ingredients in the back. In the front, giant glass containers rest on shelves alongside powdered chemicals. Smaller items such as spigots, beer caps and yeast line the smaller shelves. It’s the back of the shop that feels

more like a brewery. Three-foot-tall plastic containers house both local and international grain for all-grain brewing, and a couple of freezers hold several varieties of green and earthy-smelling hops, another common ingredient in beer making. Nordby can tell which grain will create a chocolate porter or which hops will make a beer more bitter with an ease that comes from years of familiarity with his craft. But it wasn’t always that way for him. The shop was a gamble, Nordby said, especially given that he didn’t have a lot of brewing experience when he began the venture. Nordby said that he had a passion for the craft, but he did it on a small level

inventory declined. He is back at work full time now, and Nordby said he’s working on replenishing his once-expansive stock. In the five years since he started, Nordby said that he’s learned a lot from customers who were experienced brewers, and now he can offer that accumulated knowledge to newbies. John Rowley said he is one of the customers who has benefited from Nordby’s knowledge. “He was a great resource for sure,” Rowley said. “He knows a lot, and he wants to help.” Rowely also is president of the Sangre de Cristo Craft Brewers, a group that Rowley said frequents Homebrew. And though it’s located on the south side of town, Santa Fe Homebrew Supply is still the closet supply store for small brewers in Santa Fe, Rowley said. Before Nordby set up shop in 2007, Santa Fe brewers drove to Albuquerque or farther for supplies. Rowley said that while stores in Albuquerque might have more esoteric supplies, he prefers to avoid the trip and support local business. Rowley also said he recommends Nordby’s store to new brewers. “We got a great thing going here; it’s a really supportive shop,” Rowley said. “I wouldn’t go to Albuquerque unless you absolutely have to. It’s almost too much, and it can be intimidating for a new brewer.”

— he used to brew in his apartment. But about five years ago, he said, he noticed Santa Fe didn’t have a local brew supply store, so he and a couple of friends financed the store. “We just didn’t know any better,” he said. Part of his success came from an advertising campaign that consumed about 25 percent of his initial budget. From there, people started talking about the shop, which he said kept him in business. His wife also had another child during that five-year period, so he hired some part-time help to keep the doors open during times when he was away. But because the store earnings Contact Chris Quintana at went to employees, Nordby said, his cquintana@sfnewmexican.com.

Canutito doesn’t need ‘una chichihua’

The restoration project at La Fonda is well under way, and one of the challenges for Jennifer Kimball and her managers is to phase the project so it doesn’t impact visitors. To accomplish that, contractors try to start work at 9 a.m. on the first 100 rooms now under construction. As those rooms come back on line in April or May, the renovation moves to the next 80 rooms with the goal of having all the rooms completely modernized and ungraded by Indian Market weekend. Kimball is also proud that all of the 220 workers will remain employed during the nine-month project and that vacancy rates have not been impacted. Because of the lower supply of rooms, occupancy is close to 100 percent — of course, the $89 a night special La Fonda is offering during the remodeling doesn’t hurt with bargainconscious travelers. Majority ownership in La Fonda still rests with the four daughters of the late Sam and Ethel Ballen — Lois, Penina, Lenore and Marta Ballen. uuu

The National Association of the Remodeling industry’s fourth-quarter Remodeling Business Pulse data of current and future remodeling business conditions has experienced significant growth across all indicators, with forecasting in the next three months hitting its all-time highest level. The significantly positive results have a lot to do with homeowner security, remodelers say. “Remodelers are indicating major growth in the future, with many saying that clients are feeling more stable in their financial future and their employment situations; therefore, they are spending more freely on remodeling needs,” says Tom O’Grady, association chairman and a builder in Drexel Hill, Pa. Growth indicators in the last quarter of 2012 are as follows: u Current business conditions up 2.1 percent since last quarter u Number of inquiries up 3.9 percent since last quarter u Requests for bids up 3.7 percent since last quarter u Conversion of bids to jobs up 3.5 percent since last quarter u Value of jobs sold is up 4.3 percent since last quarter Still, according to the data, expectations for 2013 are even brighter. Two-thirds of remodelers forecasted the next three months positively, and the rating jumped 13.1 percent from last quarter. Drivers of this positive outlook continue to be postponement of projects (81 percent reporting) and the improvement of home prices (51 percent reporting). “Now that the election is over, consumer confidence is starting to grow and so has remodelers’ confidence,” O’Grady says. “NARI members are looking forward to having a well-deserved, productive year

SAN FRANCISCO — 3-D printing used to construct everything from art to toys to spare parts for the space station may one day produce human organs at a hospital near you. The 20-year-old technology uses liquid materials that become hard as they print out three-dimensional objects in layers, based on a digital model. Current medical uses are in dentistry, for hard-material crowns, caps and bridges, as well as prosthetics. Last year, a 3-D printer was used to create a structure from moldable polymer that replaced more than 75 percent of a patient’s skull. Now, Organovo Holdings Inc. is using 3-D printers to create living tissue that may one day look and act like a human liver, able to cleanse the body of toxins. Drugmakers and cosmetic companies already plan to use 3-D printed human tissue to test new products. Eventually, the technology may help reduce organ shortages and cut transplant rejections as patients receive new organs constructed from their own cells. “3-D printing is like a new tool set,” said Organovo Chief Executive Officer Keith Murphy. “You can make a living tissue you can grow outside the body. That’s the core of our technology. How can you be smart about doing that?” Organovo already is preparing to sell strips of liver tissue to drugmakers this year to be used to test toxicity of potential treatments, Murphy said in a telephone interview. The San Diego-based company’s five- and 10-year goals are first to use a patient’s own cells to print tissue strips that can be used to patch failing organs, and finally to be able to create entire new organs. The first 3-D printer was produced in 1992. Since then, a variety of materials have been used as the technology has improved. The only limitation is that the printing material must be able to change from a liquid to a solid. Printers commercially available now sell for as little as $300. Companies can save time and money using the printers to create customized products and single samples in-house rather than being ordered in from an outside manufacturer. To take that to an extreme, International Space Station astronauts plan to bring a 3-D printer to the craft this year, for making spare parts. In 2012, the market for the 3-D products reached $777 million, and it may grow to $8.4 billion in 2025 as medical uses for the printers are developed, according to Anthony Vicari, an analyst at Lux Research Inc. in Boston. The use of human cells works because of the natural tendency of the cells to stick together during embryonic development and move together in clumps with liquid-like properties. The first printing effort using cells occurred in 2003 using a modified ink-jet printer. Organovo will present data on test tissues for breast cancer and healthy kidneys by March 2015, Murphy said. That would lay the groundwork for tissue transplants, and eventually organ transplants, using 3-D printed cells. Murphy likened the technology to the early DNA work at Amgen Inc., where he spent 10 years developing drugs including the osteoporosis and bone cancer treatment Prolia, which is also marketed as Xgeva. In the early days, Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based Amgen wasn’t sure how best to use its ability to reprogram bacterial DNA until the company discovered it could create proteins for medical use, he said. “Dentures and replacing skulls, pretty much any time you need a one-off specific geometry, you can print it,” said Markus Buehler, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, in a telephone interview. “But most applications are fairly simple materials, and the kinds of materials we can print have, so far, been limited.”

LinkedIn adds publishing platform for blog-like content By Sarah Halzack

The Washington Post

With the launch of a new feature that allows members to publish blogpost-style content, LinkedIn has ramped up its push to persuade users that it is more than a repository for resumes. The professional networking site is aiming to become the virtual town square for our professional lives, a place where its 277 million members go daily to read the news, show off their latest projects, network with peers and keep tabs on who has gotten a promotion. “That’s one of the big reasons we’ve

invested heavily in our content efforts,” said Ryan Roslansky, LinkedIn’s head of content products. “We believe that every professional reads some sort of content on a daily basis about their company or their competitors or their industry, just general professional knowledge.” The publishing tool, LinkedIn hopes, is yet another reason to stick around on its site. The service enables users to publish posts in a bloglike format. The project comes as some analysts have begun to worry that the site may be losing momentum. Kathleen Smith is one LinkedIn member whose use of the site embodies both the inroads the company has made on engagement and the challenges it faces

in boosting it further. The chief marketing officer at Falls Church, Va.-based ClearedJobs.net said she visits LinkedIn five to six times a day. “I log in in the morning just to see what my network’s talking about. … I know of a few people who post really good articles, and I’ll be on the lookout for that,” Smith said. “And then I’ll post two to three things.” But Smith also said she has built more business relationships on Facebook and that she prefers to keep up with industry thought leaders on Twitter. Also, she said, she is frequently frustrated by posts from other members that are not useful to her. “I unfortunately think it’s gotten too

spammy,” Smith said. One of LinkedIn’s key engagementbuilding initiatives has been Influencers, in which prominent leaders and thinkers post original essays and musings. The roster of Influencers includes President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Martha Stewart and Richard Branson, and the company says the average Influencer post is viewed 31,000 times. Some of LinkedIn’s acquisitions also have been geared at building user engagement. In February, in a deal valued at $120 million, the company purchased Bright, which uses data to match prospective job candidates with employers. Last April, it acquired Pulse, a news reader for mobile

phones. And in 2012, it purchased Slideshare, an online tool for sharing presentations. There is evidence that some of these efforts have paid off: In the second quarter of 2013, LinkedIn pulled in 11.7 billion page views and recorded 143 million unique visitors, both all-time highs. But during the last two quarters, LinkedIn’s engagement levels have dipped slightly, with the site attracting fewer visitors and fewer page views. In a February conference call with investors, chief executive Jeff Weiner said the slip was in part because the company had an unusual burst in activity the previous year connected to the rollout of several new products.

Teen survivor sparks study that helps find gene flaw behind deadly disease By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON irst the teenager survived a rare cancer. Then she wanted to study it, spurring a study that helped scientists find a weird gene flaw that might play a role in how the tumor strikes. Age 18 is pretty young to be listed as an author of a study in the prestigious journal Science. But the industrious high school student’s efforts are bringing new attention to this mysterious disease. “It’s crazy that I’ve been able to do this,” said Elana Simon of New York City, describing her idea to study the extremely rare form of liver cancer that mostly hits adolescents and young adults. Making that idea work required a lot of help from real scientists: Her father, who runs a cellular biophysics lab at the Rockefeller University; her surgeon at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center; and gene specialists at the New York Genome Center. A second survivor of this cancer, who the journal said didn’t want to be identified, also co-authored the study. Together, the team reported Thursday that they uncovered an oddity: A break in genetic material that left the “head” of one gene fused to the “body” of another. That

results in an abnormal protein that forms inside the tumors but not in normal liver tissue, suggesting it might fuel cancer growth, the researchers wrote. They’ve found the evidence in all 15 of the tumors tested so far. It’s a small study, and more research is needed to see what this gene flaw really does, cautioned Dr. Sanford Simon, the teen’s father and the study’s senior author. But the teen-spurred project has grown into work to get more patients involved in scientific research. Scientists at the National Institutes of Health are advising the Simons on how to set up a patient registry, and NIH’s Office of Rare Diseases Research has posted on its website a YouTube video in which Elana Simon and a fellow survivor explain why to get involved. “Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Not easy to pronounce. Not easily understood,” it says. Simon was diagnosed at age 12. Surgery is the only effective treatment, and her tumor was caught in time that it worked. But there are few options if the cancer spreads, and Simon knows other patients who weren’t so lucky. A high school internship during her sophomore year let Simon use her computer science skills to help researchers sort data on genetic mutations in a laboratory studying

another type of cancer. Simon wondered, why not try the same approach with the liver cancer she’d survived? The hurdle: Finding enough tumors to test. Only about 200 people a year worldwide are diagnosed, according to the Fibrolamellar Cancer Foundation, which helped fund the new study. There was no registry that kept tissue samples after surgery. But Simon’s pediatric cancer surgeon, Sloan-Kettering’s Dr. Michael LaQuaglia, agreed to help, and Simon spread the word to patient groups. Finally, samples trickled in, and Sanford Simon said his daughter was back on the computer helping to analyze what was different in the tumor cells. At the collaborating New York Genome Center, which genetically mapped the samples, co-author Nicolas Robine said a program called FusionCatcher ultimately zeroed in on the weird mutation. Sanford Simon said other researchers then conducted laboratory experiments to show the abnormal protein really is active inside tumor cells. He calls it “an exciting time for kids to go into science,” because there’s so much they can research via computer. As for Elana Simon, she plans to study computer science at Harvard next fall.

Ovary removal aids high-risk women Studies recommend surgery for some as early as age 35 By Lauran Neergaard The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — For women who carry a notorious cancer gene, surgery to remove healthy ovaries is one of the most protective steps they can take. New research suggests some might benefit most from having the operation as young as 35. Women who inherit either of two faulty BRCA genes are at much higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer than other women, and at younger ages. Actress Angelina Jolie made headlines last year when she had her healthy breasts removed to reduce her cancer risk. Last week’s study is the largest yet to show the power of preventive ovarian surgery for those women. The surgery not only lowers their chances of getting either ovarian or breast cancer. The study estimated it also can reduce women’s risk of death before age 70 by 77 percent. Ovarian cancer is particularly deadly, and there is no good way to detect it early like there is for breast cancer. So for years, doctors have advised BRCA carriers to have their ovaries removed

between the ages of 35 and 40, or when women are finished having children. The new study suggests the surgery, called an oophorectomy, should be timed differently for the different genes. For women who carry the higher-risk BRCA1, the chance of already having ovarian cancer rose from 1.5 percent at age 35 to 4 percent at age 40, said lead researcher Dr. Steven Narod

of the University of Toronto. After that, the risk jumped to 14 percent by age 50. In contrast, the researchers said carriers of the related BRCA2 gene could safely delay surgery into their 40s. The study found only one case in a woman younger than 50. Ovarian surgery “is the cornerstone for cancer prevention,” declared Narod, whose team published the research in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. “The typical woman with a BRCA1 mutation will benefit to a large extent from an oophorectomy at age 35, and we want to make that a pretty standard recommendation.” Future studies would have to verify the findings, and other specialists urged caution. Waiting until age 40 for ovary removal, as many women with BRCA1 do today, makes a very small difference, stressed Dr. Claudine Isaacs, an oncologist and cancer risk specialist at Georgetown University’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, who wasn’t involved in the new research. The findings shouldn’t frighten women into acting sooner if they’re not ready, agreed Dr. Susan Domchek of the University of Pennsylvania’s Basser Research Center for BRCA, who also wasn’t involved in the study. Many women have babies

during their late 30s, and ovary removal sends women into early menopause that can increase their risk of bone-thinning osteoporosis or heart disease later on. “Thirty-five isn’t necessarily a magic number,” Domchek said. “If you are talking to a woman who hasn’t yet finished having her kids, it’s a completely reasonable thing to discuss the low risk of ovarian cancer by age 40 in the context of the other decisions that she’s making in her life.” But Domchek added: For BRCA1 carriers, “by age 40, I will be nagging you about this again.” About 1.4 percent of women develop ovarian cancer at some point in life, but 39 percent of BRCA1 carriers do, and between 11 percent and 17 percent of BRCA2 carriers, according to the National Cancer Institute. Likewise, 12 percent of average women will develop breast cancer, but a BRCA mutation raises the risk four- to five-fold. Interestingly, removing the ovaries can reduce the risk of breast cancer as well by affecting hormone levels in the body — and Narod found the surgery increased women’s chances of survival even if they already had developed breast cancer. Specialists say more than twothirds of BRCA carriers undergo ovary removal at some point, compared with about a third who choose a preventive mastectomy.

The patient is large. Very large. At more than 600 pounds, he is a mountain of flesh. “My stomach hurts,” he says, his voice surprisingly high and childlike. It is 10 p.m. in the emergency room, and I am already swamped with patients I’m trying to move through the ER before my shift is over. Asked if he’s ever felt this kind of pain before, he says, “No, never. At least, not like this.” “Well, what’d you expect?” the unit secretary mutters, only half to herself. The patient is in his 40s. He spends his days on the sofa at home, surviving on disability checks related to his back pain. Facing him, I feel momentarily put off. I’m not sure just where to start the examination, and when I begin, my hands look small and insignificant against the panorama of skin they’re kneading. It’s hard to tell, exactly, but I think his pain is coming from somewhere around his stomach. I call the surgeon. When he finds out how much the patient weighs, he says that he’ll be down to see him “in a while.” Awaiting his arrival, we try to shoot some X-rays. When we roll him onto his side, though, he turns an unnatural shade of blue-gray and can’t tolerate the position long enough for us to put the X-ray cassette behind his back. We try a chest X-ray, turning up the power to the maximum setting. All we see is white: The patient’s body is just too thick to allow standard X-rays to penetrate to the bones; he is a walking lead shield. We start an IV and get some blood work, all of which is normal. Our standard GI cocktail of shot-in-the-dark digestive tonics plinks into his stomach without any effect. Morphine at doses high enough to make me dance on tables merely makes him a bit drowsy. I talk to the patient between procedures, trying to get a sense of him as a person. He recites a litany of consultants he’s seen for his back pain, his headaches, a chronic rash on his ankles, his shortness of breath, his weakness, his insomnia and his fatigue. “All of them have failed me,” he says, adding that the paramedics didn’t have the proper ultra-wide, ultrasturdy gurney to accommodate his body. “The Americans with Disabilities Act says that they should have the proper equipment to handle me, the same as they do for anyone else,” he says indignantly. “I’m entitled to that. I’ll probably have to sue to get the care I really need.” I don’t quite know how to respond, so I say nothing. We’ve placed the patient in a room with an oversize hospital bed, so at least he’s resting comfortably. Finally, we move an ultrasound machine into his room — it barely fits between the bed and the wall — and the technician goes in to take some diagnostic images. Minutes later, he emerges. “I need to get the radiologist to help me,” he says. “This is impossible.” A half-hour later, the chief of radiology comes out of the room, rings of sweat under his arms. “I think we have something,” he says. “A gallstone.” Elation surges through me. At last we have something to work with. Paged again, the surgeon finally shows up, muttering, a full two hours after our initial conversation. After examining the patient, he thinks for a bit, then brightens. “We could send him to the University of Maryland. They have an oversize OR table and beds.” He’s now a man on a mission: to unload the patient on another unsuspecting hospital. Hours later, he learns that there’s no room in the surgery wards of either the University of Maryland or Johns Hopkins. He must admit the patient to our hospital’s upstairs ward until tomorrow, when he can try the transfer again. The surgeon is most unhappy. He bellows orders over the phone at a nurse several floors above us. “Don’t put him in a room right over the ER,” whispers the unit secretary to the admission clerk. “The floor won’t support him. He’ll come crashing through and kill us all.” Glancing across the hall at the patient, I see by his eyes that he’s heard her comment, and I’m suddenly sure that he’s heard all of the side remarks aimed his way. Finally, a slew of huffing, puffing, grunting attendants wheel him down the hall, leaving me to reflect on his plight. He lies at the very large center of his own world — a world in which all the surgery mankind has to offer cannot heal the real pain he suffers. The patient lies trapped in his own body, like a prisoner in an enormous, fleshy castle. And though he must feel wounded by the ER personnel’s remarks, he seems to find succor in knowing that there’s no comment so cutting that it can’t be soothed by the balm of 8,000 calories per day. Later on in my shift, still feeling traces of the patient’s presence, I sit and stare at my 700-calorie dinner, all appetite gone, wondering where empathy ends and compassion begins. I know why my colleagues and I are so glad to have this patient out of the ER and stowed away upstairs: he’s an oversize mirror, reminding us of our own excesses. It’s easier to look away and joke at his expense than it is to peer into his eyes and see our own appetites staring back. I push the food around on my plate, then give up and head back to the ER, ready to see more patients.

Taos Ski Valley panel to review base area upgrades Plans call for new six-level multiuse facility at site of ‘Pagoda Building,’ ‘major’ infrastructure improvements By J.R. Logan The Taos News

TAOS — Taos Ski Valley Inc. has submitted plans to replace the existing “Pagoda Building” and create what it considers a more inviting atmosphere in the heart of the resort’s base area. The village of Taos Ski Valley’s planning and zoning commission will consider the development proposal at a meeting Monday, March 3. Approval of the project would mean the demoli-

tion of the existing building, which sits at the center of the base area and now houses a post office, ski shop and a few retailers. Redeveloping this property is the first step in a larger redesign of the resort’s entrance and base area. The building proposed for the Pagoda site, also known as “Parcel G,” would have six levels, including a 59-space underground parking garage, two levels of skier services, retail and residential uses, and three levels of

residential units. The building would have a footprint of 25,175 square feet, with a total of 128,000 square feet on all six levels. Also included in the project plans are the creation or expansion of several public areas, including an open plaza leading to the base of Lift 1, a plaza at a bridge crossing Lake Fork Creek, and a stream-side path. The developer’s application states that the Parcel G project would also include “major infrastructure upgrades” in the base area. If approved, demolition and construction is not expected to begin until after the 2014-15 ski season. The

resort is planning to redirect arrival traffic and shuttle drop-offs to the new entrance — off Thunderbird Road near the top of the existing parking lot — starting next ski season. The application was jointly submitted by Taos Ski Valley CEO Gordon Briner, developer Bob Daniel and Peter Talty — a representative of Louis Bacon, who is in the process of buying the resort. Bacon owns a lot adjacent to the Pagoda property, and he and Talty have been part of the base area redesign for several years. The project application states that the resort’s new ownership is planning

The Farmington Daily Times reports that the 60-acre Lee Acres Landfill is a federal Superfund site on the National Priorities List of polluted sites nationwide. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the landfill was put on the list in 1990 after its lagoons ruptured and hazardous chemicals went into the ground.

The Blake family announced the sale of the Ski Valley to Bacon in December, explaining that the family couldn’t afford to pay for improvements both on and off the hill. Last month, the resort said it would spend $2.7 million to install a lift to the top of Kachina peak this summer.

N.M. must follow Colorado example

he Legislature in New Mexico has its head buried in the sand. Hey people, wake up. Colorado is going to take in more than $184 million in new revenue from pot sales. I guess New Mexico is financially secure and doesn’t need new revenue. Give some or all of the money to the education system and get New Mexico off relying on oil, gas and mining extraction for income. After all, the aforementioned extractions are all “renewable” resources, right? They have no effect whatsoever on climate change, which does not exist, right? Come on, people, take your head out of the sand and wake up. Dick Hogle

A lucky cat Recently, I was buying gas at the station on the corner of Llano Street and St. Francis Drive when I heard something that sounded like an animal in distress. I followed the cries to an iron grating in the island in the middle of St. Francis Drive. Looking down, I was shocked to

find a cat trapped in the drain pipe below. I was quite perplexed as to how to save the cat when, thankfully, Officer Charles Laramie from the Santa Fe Police Department pulled up. Since we were unable to remove the iron grating, we went to the side of the road and called to the cat. Amazingly, the cat followed our calls under St. Francis Drive to the curb. The heavy drain covering there could be removed. Officer Clyde Segura from animal control arrived and, together with Officer Laramie, removed the grate. Officer Segura lowered a cage with food, and the starved cat was safely captured and raised. The cat was taken to the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society. Later, I was able to adopt her. I would like to thank both officers for their patience and kindness. Susie Weaver

Too violent Judith Fein’s letter (Letters to the Editor, “ ‘Lego’ movie more violence than entertainment,” Feb. 18) is right on. For many years, I’ve blamed Hollywood for the continuing coarseness of our society, but unfortunately the movies and commercials just keep getting more and more violent. What happened to good dialogue and real acting, without the car crashes, men falling through glass ceilings, guns blasting and menacing-looking aliens, etc.? The Brits seem to be able to deliver that quality of entertainment — I wish the U.S. could, also. Anne Shannon

COMMENTARY: JOSHUA KEATING

Arrest of El Chapo – a turning point? WASHINGTON he arrest of the powerful and elusive Sinaloa Cartel boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán will, for at least a short time, be a major notch in the belt for the government of Enrique Peña Nieto, who promised to reduce Mexico’s drug violence after the carnage that took place under his predecessor, Felipe Calderón, during whose tenure nearly 60,000 Mexicans lost their lives in drugrelated violence. Nieto has promised to focus more attention on the economic causes of drug violence rather than just breaking the cartels, but he still likely relishes the sight of men like Guzmán — or Zetas boss Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales, who was arrested last summer — in handcuffs. The government also points to the murder rate, which had begun to level off in 2012 and now appears to be declining. There are also visible improvements in places like Ciudad Juárez, the U.S. border city that was once ground zero for gang violence but is showing signs of improvement. Mexicans are now far less likely to report daily experiences with drug violence. But the country is hardly out of the woods. According to the government’s statistics, the 18 percent drop in murders in 2013 was accompanied by a 35 percent

increase in kidnapping. And Molly Molloy, a research librarian and a specialist on Latin America and the U.S.-Mexico border at the New Mexico State University Library, argues that the declining murder rate is the result of the country’s statistical agencies classifying fewer killings as “intentional homicides,” coupled with the fact that “the epicenters of extreme violence have dispersed around the country, making it more difficult to know how many people are dying.” She argues that there’s no evidence to suggest the total number of murders has declined at all, though different regions have seen changes in the level of violence. With street prices of cocaine, heroin and marijuana continuing to fall in the United States at the same time that the number of seizures is increasing, there also doesn’t seem to have been much of an impact on supply. It also seems plausible that Guzmán’s capture could lead to an uptick in violence. The Sinaloas have reached an extraordinary level of dominance, largely edging out their rivals for control of the smuggling corridors of Tijuana and Juárez. They are thought to control most of the Pacific coast and central Mexico as well as having assets in every continent on Earth. According to a Bloomberg investigation last year, they supply “her-

oin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine” in Chicago. This dominance wasn’t easy to come by. In particular, the battle with the Zetas for control of Juárez may have cost 10,000 lives between 2010 and 2013. If Juárez is more peaceful today, it’s likely partially because the Sinaloas have fewer serious rivals to fight with. But with Guzmán now out of the picture — assuming the authorities can actually hold on to him this time — one of the world’s most lucrative criminal empires may be vulnerable to competition again, not to mention the likelihood of intracartel violence as rival leaders seek to maintain control over supply routes. And keep in mind, the Sinaloas actually have a reputation for being less brutally violent than their rivals the Zetas, or Michoacán’s Knights Templar. Guzmán may be the biggest arrest yet in the eight years of the drug war. But putting famous men in handcuffs every few months hasn’t had much success as a strategy so far.

he forced removal in the late 1880s of New Mexico’s Chiricahua/Warm Springs Apache tribe to Florida, Alabama and then to Oklahoma separated a people from their lands and ancestral where they belong. More than 100 years later, the 700-member Apache tribe wants to return to New Mexico — starting with 30 acres the tribe owns in southwestern New Mexico. Akela Flats, N.M., to be precise. Hardly a spacious reservation, but to the Apaches, it’s home. Tribal Chairman Jeff Haozous told the Los Angeles Times, “I feel like New Mexico is our home. I feel like the dirt is part of who I am.” It’s seldom so simple, of course. To return to New Mexico, the tribe needs recognition from Gov. Susana Martinez (that, despite winning federal approval from the Department of the Interior in 2011). Her administration says the Apaches — known as the Fort Sill Apaches after the fort where they were held — are Oklahoma Indians. Now, the state Supreme Court will hear arguments March 10 to sort out whether the state should recognize the Fort Sill Apaches as a New Mexico tribe. There’s more involved than whether the Apaches originally came from New Mexico, naturally. Moving to New Mexico, claiming roots in New Mexico and living here could mean that the Apaches could open a casino in southwestern New Mexico. The tribe has wanted to get into the gaming business here for years. However, Chairman Haozous is correct in saying the issue of Apache homeland versus the issue of an Apache casino should be separated. The only issue before the state — and before the Supreme Court — is whether the Apaches have a right to come home. Whether, once home, they can operate a casino has its own set of considerations and is a more complicated question. With the federal approval won, we are not sure what New Mexico can do to prevent the descendants of Geronimo and his people from returning home. New Mexico, unlike so much of the country, is proud that so many of the state’s Native peoples live on their ancestral lands — the Fort Sill Apaches should be no different.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: March 3, 1914: Mexico City, Mexico — A ban appears to have been put on the delivery in Mexico of newspapers from the United States. By the last mail or two, almost none has reached the addresses. News dealers here obtain little satisfaction from the post office authorities and declare they have no doubt that the deliveries are being impeded by the officials. American magazines have also failed to reach their destinations. March 3, 1964: Artesia — Firemen continued their fight today against a blaze that burned through the night across 2 acres of 15-foot stacks of curing lumber at the Valley Lumber Co. just north of Artesia. Dozens of lumber stacks, each separated only by a narrow roadway, were damaged. Damage unofficially was estimated at $500,000. March 3, 1989: A plan to put an armed security officer on West San Francisco Street to guard businesses overnight apparently has died because of a lack of interest from some downtown business owners. Not one merchant showed up for a meeting Wednesday night at Country Club Gardens called by E&W Security Service, the company that was trying to organize the security patrol.

alcolm X and rap music have always fit together like a needle in the groove, connected by struggle, strength and defiance. But three recent episodes involving the use or misuse of Malcolm and other black icons have raised the question: Has rap lost touch with black history? Chart-topping rapstress Nicki Minaj provoked widespread outrage with an Instagram post featuring one of black history’s most poignant images: Malcolm X peering out the window of his home, rifle in hand, trying to defend his wife and children from firebombs while under surveillance by federal agents. Superimposed on the photo: the title of Minaj’s new song, which denigrates certain black men and repeats the N-word 42 times. That came after Minaj’s mentor Lil Wayne recorded a verse last year using the civil rights martyr Emmett Till in a sexual metaphor, and the hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons posted a Harriet Tubman “sex tape” video on his comedy channel. What is happening to mainstream rap music, which was launched by Simmons and is now ruled by the likes of Minaj and Wayne? “I don’t want to say today’s rappers are not educated about black history, but they don’t seem as aware as rap generations before them,” said Jermaine Hall, editor-in-chief of Vibe, the hiphop magazine and website. While previous generations had to struggle with the racism and neglect of the 1970s or the crack epidemic of the 1980s, Hall said, today’s young people have not faced the same type of racial struggle — “They’re sort of getting further and further away from the civil rights movement.” “In the ’80s, whether it was KRS-One, Public Enemy or the Native Tongues, that entire movement, it was very in tune with black history,” Hall said. “They knew everything about Malcolm, about Martin, about Rosa Parks. Now, the new rappers just aren’t as in tune.” Indeed, Minaj issued a statement expressing disbelief at the uproar and apologizing to Malcolm’s family “if the meaning of the photo was misconstrued.” Wayne wrote to the Till family to “acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.” Simmons was the only one to say, “I am sincerely sorry.” The apologies did not change much for Pierre Bennu, a filmmaker and artist who said Malcolm X’s life was dedicated to advocating for the humanity of black people, while Minaj’s song was simply dehumanizing. When he saw Minaj’s manipulation, Bennu said, “I felt punched in the gut.” The episode inspired him to post a mash-up video laying Minaj’s song over the infamous 1941 Walter Lantz cartoon “Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat,” which depicts a town of lazy black people hypnotized by a seductive washerwoman. Various mainstream rap artists seem reluctant to defend Minaj and Wayne; The Associated Press sought out five, but none returned calls for comment. Jasiri X, a rapper whose music focuses on black empowerment and current events, said many of today’s mainstream rappers use images of revolutionary black icons to promote an antiestablishment image. “All the while, they’re being funded and pushed by major corporations,” he said. “I see Nicki and other artists, whether Kanye or Jay-Z, adopting these revolutionary images or using a clip or saying their name, but never practice the principles which these revolutionaries gave their lives for,” Jasiri said.

No. 25 Lobos outpace Wolf Pack UNM overcomes early deficit to secure win against Nevada

New Mexico's Alex Kirk dunks against Nevada during the first half of Sunday’s game in Reno, Nev. Kirk had 10 points, nine rebounds for the Lobos. ‘Alex was unbelievable defensively. He just changes so many shots. He takes up so much space. It’s hard to drive inside when he’s there,’ UNM coach Craig Neal said.

The Aztecs visit UNLV this week before hosting UNM in a game that will determine the regular season championship and the top seed in the MWC tournament next week. On Sunday, New Mexico appeared to be rolling over a little early. The Wolf Pack raced to an early lead and opened a 14-point margin, 31-17, late in the first half. The Lobos’ guards were tentative, passing up open shots and making uncharacteristic turnovers. The miscues were correctable, said

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Austin Jackson has already bounced around the batting order a bit at spring training, hitting fifth, sixth and even fourth for the Detroit Tigers. That one start in the cleanup spot — in a split-squad game last week — amused the fleet-footed center fielder a bit. “If I’m hitting fourth, I think we might have some problems,” Jackson said. Jackson may not expect to hit cleanup during the regular season, but at this point, it’s not clear where he’ll end up in the lineup. He’s hit almost exclusively in the leadoff spot in his first four major league seasons, but the Tigers now have other potential options for the top of the order. New manager Brad Ausmus hasn’t tipped his hand about his plans, although he did say Jackson will probably hit higher in the order at some point this spring. “Sometimes it’s about getting guys at-bats in spring training,” Ausmus said. Jackson hit leadoff in 2013, followed by Torii Hunter, Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez. When those five players were in the lineup, that was generally the order, and it wasn’t until the postseason that manager Jim Leyland made a major switch, dropping the slumping Jackson to eighth during the AL championship series against Boston. Leyland stepped down after the season and was

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Russell Henley chipped in for birdie and then hit into the water on his next shot for double bogey. He watched Rory McIlroy throw away a lead with a double bogey and a bogey, only to stand over a 12-foot eagle putt on the next hole with a chance to win. A wild Sunday at PGA National ended in a four-man playoff, with Henley making good on his second chance at the par-5 18th to win the Honda Classic. “This doesn’t feel real,” Henley said. It didn’t look much differently, starting with Tiger Woods walking Russell off the course after 13 holes because Henley of lower back pain, and ending with a series of blunders over the closing holes of a tournament that no one seemed to want to win. Eight yards away from where he had hit drive on the 18th in regulation, Henley ripped another 5-wood and aimed a little more right. It barely cleared the bunker and stopped 40 feet away on the green for a two-putt birdie that was good enough to win when McIlroy, Ryan Palmer and Russell Knox could only make par. In regulation, Henley turned what should have been a good chance at birdie into a struggle for par by

Demonettes baffled by No. 2 placement By Will Webber The New Mexican

n Friday night, Santa Fe High girls basketball head coach Elmer Chavez stood on the hardwood floor of Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium in the moments after the District 2AAAA Tournament championship game. In discussing his team’s prospects for the upcoming Class AAAA State Tournament, he said if his club was not seeded No. 1 during Sunday’s selection process for the annual 16-team event, the powers that be must be considered crazy. Well, it’s about to get all crazy up in here. On Sunday, the Demonettes were placed No. 2 behind defending state champion Los Lunas. Seeding was done by the staff of the New Mexico Activities Association. Fresh off a 26-2 campaign in which its only losses

were to AAAAA’s Albuquerque Volcano Vista and heated district rival Española Valley, Santa Fe High was none too pleased with what it perceived to be a lack of respect from the seeding and selection committee. The Demonettes won more games and lost fewer than any team in AAAA, Los Lunas (24-4) included. Santa Fe High will open at home later this week against No. 15 Grants (12-15) in Toby Roybal. All firstround games in every girls bracket will be played Friday, while all the boys’ games will be Saturday. Speaking of the boys, one of the bigger shocks in the seeding process also came out of AAAA as regular season and district tournament champion Española Valley was seeded No. 9. The top eight seeds get home court advantage in the opening round, meaning the Sundevils (16-11) must hit the road to play No. 8 Gallup (16-11).

Harvick wins 2nd straight at Phoenix Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. finishes second By John Marshall

The Associated Press

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Kevin Harvick had a nice send-off with Richard Childress Racing, winning his penultimate race with the team at Phoenix International Raceway. Back at Phoenix four months later, he stamped his arrival at Stewart-Haas Racing by winning the second race with his new team — doing it on the same weekend he celebrated his 13th wedding anniversary, no less. Yeah, Harvick kind of likes it here in the desert. Disappointed at the Daytona 500 after a last-lap crash, Harvick bounced back quickly by charging to the front and dominating the rest of the way Sunday to win

consecutive races at PIR with different teams. “Man, this is awesome,” Harvick said. Harvick won the fall race after Carl Edwards ran out of fuel at the white flag. He needed no help Sunday. Harvick had the fastest car in practice and kept it rolling in the race, charging to the front after starting 13th and pretty much staying there. He led 224 of 312 laps on the odd-shaped mile oval and pulled away on several late restarts for his fifth NASCAR Sprint Cup victory at PIR, passing Jimmie Johnson for the most at the track. Not bad for someone who’s still trying to feel his way around with a new team and new crew chief Rodney Childers. “It took long enough,” SHR co-owner Gene Haas joked. “This phenomenal. I think there was a lot of skepticism last year about what myself and Tony [Stewart] what we were up to, was there a lot of madness to this. Quite frankly, it’s a great

team, there’s a lot of synergy at the shop, people working together. I don’t know what we did, but I think we put together a great organization.” Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second, pole sitter Brad Keselowski was third and Penske Racing teammate Joey Logano fourth. Jeff Gordon rounded out the top five on a warm and partly cloudy day after downpours wiped out the final 32 laps of Saturday’s Nationwide race, won by Kyle Busch Harvick won at Phoenix during the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in the fall, giving him an outside shot at catching Johnson for the series title in his final season with Richard Childress Racing. He came up short, but the victory and a third-place finish in the standings gave him a bit of momentum heading into for his first season with Stewart-Haas. Harvick had a solid finish in his sights at Daytona last week before a last-lap crash dropped him to 13th.

Lobos: Bairstow nets game-high 22 points Continued from Page B-1 Lobos head coach Craig Neal. So, too, were the guards being too passive. “I got confidence in my guys,” Neal said. “It would be different if I was telling them not to shoot, but I’m not. I’m not that kind of guy.” And shoot, the guards did. The Lobos closed the first half on a 10-0 run. It was all part of a larger 32-13 run between the two halves that turned the game completely around. After missing each of his first five attempts — all from 3-point range — junior point guard Hugh Greenwood hit his last two. And both were big. The first capped an 8-0 run sparked by Cullen Neal’s aforementioned trey. Neal hit his bomb from the top of the key to snap a 49-all tie, then added a pair of free throws on UNM’s next possession to open a fivepoint lead. “Cullen has the dramatic to make big shots,” Craig Neal said. “I mean, he wants to shoot it.” Greenwood’s first 3-pointer put UNM up 57-49 with 6:47 to play. The Wolf Pack (13-16, 8-8) never drew closer than five points the rest of the way. The true daggers came in the final 3 minutes when Greenwood took a feed from guard Cleveland Thomas and hit another 3-pointer to open an 11-point lead with 2:36 left. Less than a minute later, Thomas buried a 3-ball from the corner on a cross-court pass from Kendall Williams to make it 70-56. Game over. “They showed a lot of attention to our big men,” Williams said. “I just took advantage of that.”

Williams finished with 10 assists and 11 points. He also became the MWC’s all-time assists leader early in the game when he passed UNLV’s Oscar Bellfield for the career lead. Williams now has 591 assists, placing him all alone in first for both conference games and career contests. On Sunday, he and Greenwood combined for 15 assists and zero turnovers. “I always brag about my bigs because everybody wants to talk about my bigs,” Craig Neal

said. “But I’ll take my guards against anybody.” Thomas had seven points off the bench while Cullen Neal had eight. Then, over course, came the contribution of the big men. Power forward Cameron Bairstow was brilliant once again, scoring a game-high 22 points to go with four rebounds and a pair of blocked shots. Center Alex Kirk had 10 points, nine rebounds four blocks. “Cam was a monster late in the game,” coach Neal said.

“Alex was unbelievable defensively. He just changes so many shots. He takes up so much space. It’s hard to drive inside when he’s there.” Baistow now has 327 points in 16 conference games, ranking that total as the third-most in the history of the MWC. His current scoring average of 20.4 ranks fifth all-time in the league. He said after the game that as well as the Lobos are playing, they’re still not peaking. UNM has won 16 of its last 18 games and had 11 straight games in which it has held its opponent under its scoring average. Nevada came in with a 72.8 clip — making its 58 points the fourth straight time an opponent has been held at least a dozen points below its average. “We’ve still got a ways to go, I mean — we’re getting there defensively,” Bairstow said. “It’s going to continue to be a work in progress, but you see guys improving on certain things.” Nevada’s loss drops the Wolf Pack into a tie for fifth place in the MWC standings. UNLV sits alone in third and Boise State is by itself in fourth, followed by Wyoming and Nevada. UNM’s next game will be its only look in the regular season against Air Force. The Falcons (11-16, 5-11) are mired in 10th place. Craig Neal said Wednesday night promises to be an emotional contest since UNM will say goodbye to seniors Williams, Bairstow and walk-on Chris Perez. After that, it’s onto San Diego for the most anticipated game of the conference season. “I haven’t talked about that game,” Neal said. “I’ve talked about it being one step in a journey to win a championship.”

Henley: Win upsets McIlroy Continued from Page B-1

Shocker: 100,000 people attend tourney Continued from Page B-1 The winner would presumably face No. 1 Roswell in the quarterfinals during the second week of the tournament. Only two teams out of District 2AAAA made the field on the boys’ side. Capital (10-16) was handed the No. 15 seed and given a road game at No. 2 Los Lunas (22-5). Santa Fe High, Bernalillo and Los Alamos all failed to land at-large bids to what is often billed as the greatest amateur sporting event the state has to offer year in and year out. Well more than 100,000 people attend the state tournament every March. Given the groundswell of support Española’s fan base often generates, it’s safe that several hundred of them will head to Gallup on Saturday night in what may well be a bipartisan packed house. In AAA, there were no real surprises. Undefeated Shiprock earned the No. 1 seed on the girls’ side while perennial power Albuquerque Hope Christian was the easy pick for the top spot in the boys’ bracket. The AAA girls pool has Taos heading to Shiprock in the first round, and No. 14 Santa Fe Indian School traveling to No. 3 Portales. The Lady Braves shook off a miserable district campaign in 5AAA by upsetting St. Michael’s in the district tournament — a win that may well have landed them an at-large bid. The Lady Horsemen slipped to No. 7 and will host former district rival Pojoaque Valley, the 10-seed. Las Vegas Robertson is seeded No. 8 and will host No. 9 Silver, giving the fans of the Meadow City another

Cardinals-Colts matchup (the schools’ football teams met in the state title game in Las Vegas back in December). District 2AAA champion West Las Vegas was given the No. 5 seed, a somewhat surprising spot given how the Lady Dons closed the regular season as strongly as any team in AAA. They will host No. 12 Thoreau. St. Michael’s follows Hope in the boys AAA draw. The Horsemen were 0-3 against Hope during the regular season but 21-4 against the rest of the state. They will host Las Vegas Robertson in the first round. Every team in 5AAA made it to the tournament as SFIS landed at No. 14 and will head to No. 3 Silver. Sandia Preparatory is the No. 7 seed and will face Shiprock. The winner likely gets St. Michael’s in the quarterfinals in Rio Rancho next week. The top two teams in 2AAA landed at the dreaded 4-5 seed as West Las Vegas is fourth followed by Taos at No. 5. That spot has them likely meeting again in the quarterfinals, with the winner of that game on a collision course with Hope in the state semifinals. Pojoaque Valley is seeded No. 11 and will head to No. 6 Lovington. In AA, Mora’s girls were seeded No. 3 behind No. 1 Texico and No. 2 Tularosa. The Rangerettes face Tohatchi at home. Santa Fe Preparatory squeaked into the field at No. 16, giving the Blue Griffins their second straight trip to the state tournament. Their reward is a date with Texico; historically one of the top programs in small-school girls basketball.

Unbeaten Laguna-Acoma is perched atop the boys’ AA bracket, but looming at No. 5 is Santa Fe Preparatory. The Blue Griffins have won 68 games the past three seasons and are arguably one of five or six teams in AA capable of running the table at state. Prep opens at home against No. 12 Crownpoint and has a potential matchup with Texico in the state quarterfinals in Rio Rancho next week. After that is a potential showdown with Laguna-Acoma in the final four. Also in the field at No. 11 is Mora. Despite a losing record in the regular season, the Rangers helped their cause a great deal by pushing Prep to overtime in the championship game of their district tournament on Friday night. They will face perennial power Mesilla Valley Christian in Las Cruces this weekend. Cliff earned the top seed in boys’ Class A while Tatum got the nod in the girls bracket. Seeded in the bottom half of the girls’ draw is McCurdy School. Despite being just one of six teams in the classification with at least 20 wins, the Lady Bobcats were placed at No. 10 and will travel to No. 7 Springer. They are the only Santa Fe-area girls team in the Class A draw. McCurdy’s boys also made it as an at-large team. Seeded No. 9, the Bobcats head to No. 8 Melrose while district rival Escalante is No. 5 and will host Floyd. Pairings for the Class B state tournament will be revealed next weekend. Only eight teams make it to state at that level.

missing the green well to the left and chunking his chip only halfway to the hole. He had to two-putt from 60 feet for a par and a 72, joining the playoff at 8-under 272. “So the next time, I just said, ‘All these guys are probably going to make birdie.’ And I just needed to trust my swing and put the best swing I can on it and not be too worried about where it goes,” Henley said. For McIlroy, it was his tournament to lose, and he did just that. He started with a twoshot lead and closed with a 74. The biggest blow came on the 16th hole, when he tried to hit 6-iron out of the bunker and over the water, caught too much sand and went in the water for double bogey. Still tied for the lead, he went long on the 17th and failed to save par from the bunker. Down to his last shot, he delivered the best one of the day — a 5-wood from 236 yards that dropped 12 feet from the hole. His eagle putt for the win just slid by on the right. That turned out to be his best chance. In the playoff, with a drive about 10 yards longer, McIlroy went into a back bunker and couldn’t keep his next shot on the green. “I didn’t play well enough to deserve a win today,” McIlroy said.

It was his second straight tournament in stroke play, where he crashed out in the final group. Last month at the Dubai Desert Classic, he was two shots out of the lead and stumbled on the back nine to a 74. “Seventy-four today wasn’t good enough to get the job done,” McIlroy said. “Even if I had won, it would have felt a little bit undeserved in a way. So when you go out with a two-shot lead, you have to play well and you have to go out and win the thing. And if I had won today, I would have counted myself very lucky. Just got to pick myself up, get back at it and try and get myself into contention at Doral next week and try and get the job done.” Palmer was the only player in the final six groups to break par with a 69 on a day when PGA National showed some bite, with an average score of 71.8. Even so, he missed putts inside 8 feet on the last five holes, including a 5-footer for par on the 18th that would have won it in regulation. In the playoff, he missed a 10-foot birdie putt to the left. Knox needed a birdie in regulation for a chance to win, and instead went from the bunker to deep rough to over the green before making a 10-foot par putt and a 71. He was the only player to lay up in the playoff, and he missed a 20-foot birdie attempt.

Collins set for home debut Openly gay player unfazed about hosting Bulls in Brooklyn By Brian Mahoney

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jason Collins has been warmly received in his historic return to the NBA. Now it’s time for his own fans to welcome him back. More than a week after becoming the league’s first openly gay player, Collins will finally get to play a home game Monday night when the Brooklyn Nets host the Chicago Bulls. “It will be a lot of fun,” Collins said. “I have some family and friends coming to the game. I’m looking forward to seeing them and obviously the first home game.” He has played hundreds in a Nets uniform, though it was a white, red and blue one, and the home games were in New Jersey. Plenty of fans and employees of the organization remain from when Collins played there from 2001-08, so he will likely be greeted by a loud ovation if he gets into the game. “I’ve always said I’m not worried about the reaction,” said Nets coach Jason Kidd, who played with Collins when the franchise reached consecutive NBA Finals in 2003. “I think they will always support a Net. He’s been a Net before. I think they’ll be excited to have him, but the big thing is him being able to help us defensively.” Collins and the Nets have kept the focus as much on basketball as possible. They all view him as a big man who will willingly defend and foul — he has racked up 10 of them already in four games — who can help pass along 12 years of NBA experience to younger teammates such

as Mason Plumlee and Andray Blatche. The fact that he’s gay makes him much more than that outside the Nets’ locker room, but he thinks that story line will die down soon enough. “There’s only so many ways you can write the story, or tell the story, and then it will just be about basketball,” he said during the middle of last week. Collins thought it had already reached that point, mistakenly believing that Saturday’s victory in Milwaukee would be the first time reporters didn’t want to talk to him after the game. Not quite yet. Collins may just be a 14th man on the roster to the Nets, but he’s still far more than that to the fans he inspired from the moment he decided to come out in a Sports Illustrated article last April. “I think it is a big deal. He’s showing a lot of courage. You’re talking to a guy who was around when Jackie Robinson came in. What’s the dif-

ference? It’s just as groundbreaking. I just hope he’s judged as a basketball player,” said Butch Pye, 69, of Castle Rock, Colo., who attended the Nets’ victory in Denver on Thursday. Collins’ debut is currently his only guaranteed home game. He’s nearing the end of the 10-day contract he signed on Feb. 23 before facing the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA rules allow teams to sign players to two 10-day deals, then have to sign them for the rest of the year if they want to keep them. There are plenty of reasons to retain Collins. He has brought plenty of positive attention and is making an impact in the gay and lesbian community, with the NBA pledging to donate at least $100,000 from sales of his No. 98 jersey to the Matthew Shepard Foundation and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network. But those having nothing to do with basketball, and the Nets stressed in the press release announcing Collins’ signing that the move was a basketball decision. He can still do enough to make it a wise one, even with just one basket so far. With Brook Lopez lost for the season and Kevin Garnett’s minutes being monitored, Kidd needs a big man he trusts to fill in for a few minutes. And a guy like Collins can help even when he’s not in the game. He has defended Shaquille O’Neal and Tim Duncan in the NBA Finals, so knows what it takes to guard even the biggest stars, even if he’s rarely the one doing it. “When I was a younger guy, I learned from Dikembe Mutombo and Alonzo Mourning. It’s a cycle,” Collins said. “Now that I’m that old man at the end of the bench, that veteran, even though I may not be playing minutes, there definitely are ways I can help the team win.”

Parker returns, leads Spurs over Mavericks Thunder past Charlotte. Durant made just 8 of 24 field goals, but he sank all 12 of his free throws. Westbrook was 10 of 12 from the floor in 25 minutes in his fifth game since returning from right knee surgery. Reggie Jackson scored 17 points, and Serge Ibaka had 15 points and 10 rebounds for Oklahoma City, which won its second straight after losing its first three games following the All-Star break. Oklahoma City outrebounded the Bobcats 44-29.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Tony Parker had 22 points and seven assists in his return from a six-game absence, leading the Spurs’ balanced attack in a 112-106 win over the Dallas Mavericks on SunSpurs 112 day night. Mavericks 106 Tim Duncan scored 17 points, Kawhi Leonard added 16, and Boris Diaw had 13 points and 10 rebounds for San Antonio. Manu Ginobili had 15 points and seven assists, and Tiago Splitter had 11 points as the Spurs extended their winning streak to three games. Dirk Nowitzki scored 22 points, Vince Carter added 21 and Monta Ellis had 17 for the Mavericks, who have lost eight straight to the Spurs. Parker looked refreshed after not playing since Feb. 10 for what was officially listed as “rest,” but unofficially was due to a series of lower body maladies. BULLS 109, KNICKS 90 In Chicago, Joakim Noah had 13 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists for his fifth career triple-double, leading streaking the Bulls over New York. Chicago had seven players score in double figures in its ninth win in the past 10 games. The Bulls also reached 100 points for the fourth consecutive game for the first time since Oct. 30-Nov. 5, 2010. D.J. Augustin had 21 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter as Chicago (33-26) improved to 21-8 since Jan. 1 and a season-high seven games above .500 overall. Jimmy Butler scored 19 points, and Carlos Boozer had 14. RAPTORS 104, WARRIORS 98 In Toronto, DeMar DeRozan scored 32 points, Kyle Lowry had 13, and the Raptors beat Golden State for its first victory in eight tries against Warriors guard Stephen Curry.

SUNS 129, HAWKS 120 In Phoenix, Gerald Green hit 5 of 6 3-pointers in the first half to help the Suns score 79 points before the break, the most in the NBA this season, and Phoenix held on to beat the Hawks. The first-half total was two shy of the US Airways Center record for points in a half. The previous high for Phoenix in any half this season was 67, but 63 percent shooting, including 12 of 18 on 3-pointers in the first half, shattered the team mark.

Greivis Vasquez and Patrick Patterson each added 12 points, and Jonas Valanciuas had 10 for the Raptors, who had lost 11 of their previous 13 meetings with the Warriors. Toronto’s only previous victory over Golden State since Curry was drafted was an 83-75 home win on March 4, 2012, a victory that came while the guard was sidelined by a strained tendon in his foot. THUNDER 116, BOBCATS 99 In Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 28 points, and Russell Westbrook had 26 to lead the

MAGIC 92, 76ERS 81 In Orlando, Fla., Tobias Harris scored a careerhigh 31 points, and the Magic beat Philadelphia for the second time in less than a week, extending the 76ers losing streak to 14 games. Nikola Vucevic had 18 points and 17 rebounds for Orlando, which outscored Philadelphia 26-12 in the fourth quarter to earn the win. The 76ers’ skid is their longest since 1994, when they lost 15 straight, and includes a loss Feb. 24 to the Milwaukee Bucks, the NBA’s worst team. The 76ers have the NBA’s second-worst record, while the Magic have the third-worst. PACERS 94, JAZZ 91 In Indianapolis, David West scored 25 points, Paul George added 22, and the Pacers beat Utah for its fifth straight victory. Indianapolis native Gordon Hayward had 21 points, and Derrick Favors scored 17 for the Jazz, nine of them in the first eight minutes as Utah opened a 14-4 lead.

replaced by Ausmus, and Detroit made a blockbuster trade, sending Fielder to Texas in exchange for second baseman Ian Kinsler. That gave the Tigers another potential leadoff hitter while removing Fielder’s powerful bat. The switch-hitting Martinez seems likely to bat cleanup now, behind Cabrera. But who would hit in front of those two remains an open question. Jackson stole eight bases last year, which was enough for the team lead — but Ausmus wants a more aggressive approach on the bases this season. Kinsler, a two-time 30-30 man, stole 15 bases in 2013 while posting an on-base percentage of .344. Jackson’s was .337. The Tigers also signed outfielder Rajai Davis, who stole 45 bases in 51 attempts last year with Toronto. That’s 10 more than Detroit’s entire team stole in 2013. The question is whether Davis can hit well enough to justify a spot high in the order. His career on-base percentage against lefthanders is .354, but it’s 57 points lower against righties. Ausmus is sensitive to the idea that players like to develop a routine — but he also reserves the right to be flexible with the batting order throughout the season. “It’s a performance-based game, so you might have to adjust,” Ausmus said. “Everyday players generally … they like to see their name in that same spot, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be adjustments.” For Ausmus, there’s no rush to make any long-term decisions about the lineup. Spring training is a time to experiment — and also to try combinations that would probably never see the light of day during the regular season. For example, Ausmus says he might hit Martinez leadoff at some point. Martinez is Detroit’s designated hitter, but it’s possible he might go back behind the plate and catch a bit during the spring. “If Victor Martinez is going to catch at some point, you may see Victor hit leadoff because I don’t want him catching too many innings the first time he’s out there, but I want him to get a couple at-bats,” Ausmus said. “You may see Victor hit leadoff or second, just because we want to get the at-bats in a short amount of time.” As for Jackson, he doesn’t sound anxious for any clarification on where he’ll hit this year. He just wants to be in the lineup. “I think anybody on this team, honestly, can hit anywhere,” he said. “We’re all capable of doing pretty much anything that we’re called upon to do.”

Sellers heads to Tribe The Cleveland Indians have acquired infielder Justin Sellers from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash considerations. The Indians also said Sunday that they had designated infielder David Cooper for assignment. The 28-year-old Sellers played 82 games for the Dodgers in the past three years, hitting .199 with three home runs and 17 RBIs. He split time at shortstop, second base and third base. He spent most of his time the last three seasons with the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes, becoming one of the most popular players for the Pacific Coast League team. He batted .285 in 270 games with the Topes, belting 34 home runs with 61 doubles, 148 runs scored and 171 runs batted in. He once lived in Rio Rancho, returning to the metro area in 2010 when he was promoted from Single-A Inland Empire in the Dodgers’ organization. The 27-year-old Cooper finished last season in Triple-A for Cleveland. He hit .300 with four homers and 11 RBIs in 45 games for Toronto in 2012 before sustaining a serious back injury while diving back to first base on a pickoff attempt.

Rodriguez exits Venezuela Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Francisco Rodriguez reported to spring training Saturday after acquiring a work visa and leaving an unsettled situation in Venezuela. Rodriguez had been trying to get out of Caracas since signing a one-year contract with the Brewers on Feb. 7. Rodriguez’s girlfriend and his two children came with him. They left an area that has been affected by the deaths of anti-government protesters in his native country. “He was right in the middle of everything,” Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. “He hasn’t been able to do much baseball-wise because he didn’t want to leave the house.” Roenicke said that missed time isn’t a concern for Rodriguez. The 32-year-old reliever was traded from Milwaukee to Baltimore last July. “He’s a guy who not only can lead and prepare the guys well out there, but if he has to do the ninth [inning] or the eighth, he can do them all,” Roenicke said. “If a guy is struggling a little bit he can talk to him, or he can take over for a while and give that guy a breather.” Rodriguez set the major league record for saves in a season with 62 for the Angels in 2008. He is expected to be a setup man for closer Jim Henderson. Rodriguez will earn a base salary of $3.25 million with the possibility of more in bonus clauses.

Monday, March 3, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

By Juliet Macur

The New York Times

he $10 million estate of Lance Armstrong’s dreams is hidden behind a tall, cream-colored wall of Texas limestone and a solid steel gate. Visitors pull into a circular driveway beneath a grand oak tree whose branches stretch toward a 7,806-squarefoot Spanish colonial mansion. The tree itself speaks of Armstrong’s famous will. It was once on the other side of the property, 50 yards west of this house. Armstrong wanted it at the front steps. The transplantation cost $200,000. His close friends joke that Armstrong, who is agnostic, engineered the project to prove he didn’t need God to move heaven and earth. For nearly a decade, Armstrong and I have had a contentious relationship. Seven years have passed since his agent, Bill Stapleton, first threatened to sue me. Back then, I was just one of the many reporters Armstrong had tried to manipulate, charm or bully. I’ve interviewed him one-on-one in five countries; on team buses that smelled of sweat-soaked Lycra at the Tour de France, in swanky New York City hotel rooms, in the backs of limousines, in soulless conference rooms; and for hours by telephone. Now, in the spring of 2013, after his whole world has come crashing down and moving trucks are en route to dismantle his beloved estate, I’ve come to visit him at home in Austin, Texas, for the first time. Yes, fine, come on out, he said. Troubled by endless obituaries of his celebrated (and now fraudulent) career, he wanted to ensure that I wrote “the true story.”

The mentor John Thomas Neal — a man who would come to know Armstrong better than anyone, better than even Armstrong himself — was an independently wealthy real estate investor and massage therapist, a husband and father, who worked as a soigneur in elite cycling. Soigneur is a French term meaning “one who cares for others.” In cycling, that person gives the riders massages, prepares their lunches and water bottles, cleans their uniforms and transports their baggage. A fixer, nurturer and wise counselor, Neal had worked with professional athletes on the beach volleyball tour and with swimmers at the University of Texas. But his passion was cycling because he loved the sport and the travel. Though he had a law degree, legal work didn’t satisfy him, and he didn’t stick with it. Anyway, he could afford to quit because he had married into money. So in Austin, he volunteered to work with the athletes at the University of Texas. In time, he had made enough connections and had cultivated a reputation in the Olympic sports world for being so good at his job that he was hired as a soigneur for the Subaru-Montgomery professional cycling team. Eddie Borysewicz, a former U.S. Olympic cycling coach, was in charge of the team, owned by Thomas Weisel, an investment banker who would eventually own the U.S. Postal Service cycling team. When he first signed on, Neal worked races only in the U.S. and hadn’t heard much about doping, except that performance-enhancing drug use among cyclists was prevalent in Europe. He met Armstrong in 1989 at a Texas triathlon, after Borysewicz told him to look out for the budding cycling star. Armstrong’s all-out effort at the 1989 junior worlds in Moscow had caught Borysewicz’s eye. The coach convinced Armstrong to switch to cycling from triathlon because cycling was an Olympic sport. Armstrong, perhaps the hottest up-and-coming cyclist in the world, later landed a spot with the SubaruMontgomery team. By then, Neal and Armstrong knew each other well. Nearly a dozen athletes in Austin — both men and women — still say they were closer to Neal than to their fathers. He brought them into his family and gave them stability. Armstrong was just the latest athlete in need. Neal also became close friends with Armstrong’s mother, Linda. Armstrong was relocating to Austin from Plano because its hilly terrain was perfect for training. At a steeply discounted rate, Armstrong moved into an apartment complex owned by Neal. Near downtown — among tall trees, 20 paces from Neal’s office — it was a comfortable, safe place that Armstrong could call home. Later, Armstrong told The Dallas Morning News his apartment was “killer … s-o-o-o nice!” He and Neal met every day, sometimes several times a day, for massages and meals. It gave Neal satisfaction to know that he could have a positive impact on a teenager who needed some guidance. Neal’s first impression was that the kid’s ego exceeded his talent. Armstrong was brash and ill-mannered, in desperate need of refinement. But the more he learned of Armstrong’s home life, the sorrier Neal began to feel for him. He was a boy without a reliable father. Linda Armstrong wrote in her 2005 autobiography that she was pleased that her son had found a

Lance Armstrong, left, and his mentor and assistant J.T. Neal, who died in 2002 after being diagnosed with cancer months apart. Armstrong, who won seven-straight Tour de France competitions and fell from grace after testing positive for steroids, tells his story in Juliet Macur’s upcoming book Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong, published by Harper Collins. COURTESY J.T. NEAL FAMILY/THE NEW YORK TIMES

End of the ride

New book examines Lance Armstrong’s fall from grace and those involved in his clandestine doping responsible male role model, and that Neal had lent a sympathetic ear to her while she dealt with the rocky transition between marriages. It was arguably the happiest, most uncomplicated time in Armstrong’s life. He no longer had to worry about his adoptive father, Terry Armstrong, whom he considered overbearing, and his mother’s current marital woes were 215 miles north on Interstate 35 in Plano. His world centered on Austin and Neal, who gladly opened his home or apartments to national team cyclists — like Armstrong’s future Postal Service teammates George Hincapie, Frankie Andreu, Chann McRae and Kevin Livingston — who wanted to train with Armstrong in the Texas Hill Country. The day after Armstrong moved into his new apartment, the Neals saw him ride in Lago Vista, 35 miles from Austin. Armstrong did poorly and admitted to Neal that he’d been up late the night before, drinking at an Austin strip club named the Yellow Rose. Neal passed it off as his being just another rambunctious teenager testing his newfound freedom. In 1996, Neal was found to have multiple myeloma, a rare cancer of the plasma cells that inhibits the production of healthy blood cells. Several months later, Armstrong discovered that he had testicular cancer. The two of them grew even closer while enduring chemotherapy together. In the last two years of Neal’s life, from spring 2000 to fall 2002, in hopes of writing a book, he recorded 26 hours of audiotape. The tapes recreate and comment on the most exciting times of his life, primarily the years when the young Lance Edward Armstrong rose from obscurity to superstardom. Neal, who died of cancer just after Armstrong had survived his bout with the disease, never finished the book. Long after his death, the tapes remained hidden in the bedroom closet of his son, Scott. Nobody in the family had listened to them, but I was given the tapes, along with permission to use Neal’s words in this book. While in Austin to transcribe the recordings, I met with Armstrong and asked him about his former best friend. “J.T. Neal? Forget about that. Don’t go chasing that,” he told me. He dismissed Neal’s importance, saying Neal hadn’t known anything about his doping because his drug use had started after they had grown apart. But in just a few hours, I was sitting in the Neal household, headphones on, listening to the first tape that Neal had recorded. It brought Neal’s voice to life: “Today is the 12th of April, and this is the beginning of my recollections on Lance Armstrong …”

take a Breathalyzer test? He was sure the officer would be impressed when he told them who he was: the best young cyclist in the country. Had he been a quarterback, maybe the ploy would have worked. But a Texas police officer could not care less about a guy’s boasting about his prowess on a bike. No, it was off to the county lockup. Neal, always concerned about Armstrong’s drinking and driving, picked him up from the San Marcos jail the next day. Months later, upon receiving a notice that his driver’s license could be suspended, Armstrong forwarded it to Neal. On the envelope, he wrote: “J.T. — This came today?? Have a great Xmas! Lance.” Now acting as his lawyer as well as his friend, Neal helped Armstrong beat the charges and keep his license. In turn, Neal received from Armstrong something rare and precious: Armstrong’s trust. Armstrong sent him postcards from training trips and races — such as a note dated Aug. 16, 1991, from Weinund Ferienort Bischoffingen, Germany. “J.T. — Hows it going? Well, Germany is very nice. As you probably know the worlds are a little over a week away and Im nervous as hell. At least I’m riding good now! Wish you were here! The boys say ‘hello.’ Lance” Neal loved that the national team riders and American pro cyclists knew who he was. Some even called him for advice. In Hincapie’s case: I was stopped by customs with a suitcase filled with EPO and other drugs, what should I do? Some of them, like Armstrong and Hincapie, were open with him about their drug use. Whether Neal was complicit in any of their doping is unclear. He said, though, that soigneurs in the United States had a different job from those in Europe, where an intimate knowledge of pharmaceuticals had long been required. Neal learned that from soigneurs who had worked overseas. According to Neal, Armstrong relied on shots and intravenous drips for recovery and prerace boosts of energy. On the eve of the road race at the 1992 Olympics, fellow cyclist Timm Peddie walked into Armstrong’s hotel room and saw Neal and a gaggle of USA Cycling officials standing around Armstrong as he lay on a bed, hooked to an IV. Peddie was astonished at the openness of the procedure. Everyone there stared at the unexpected guest until Peddie left as quickly as he had come in. He wasn’t sure what he had seen. Maybe a blood transfusion? An infusion of electrolytes or proteins? He only knew that he had never received an IV before a race. Armstrong was, evidently, special.

The young man

The chemist

One call from Armstrong to Neal came before dawn in August 1991. Could Neal pick him up in San Marcos? Armstrong wasn’t stranded on the side of the road in the Texas outback. He had not blown out a tire on his bike in a marathon training ride. He was in jail. The night before, 30 miles from Austin, Armstrong had partied with some women from Southwest Texas State University. As they frolicked in an outdoor Jacuzzi at one woman’s apartment complex, they made so much noise that the police came. But that was only Armstrong’s first meeting with officers that night. The second was the big one. Pulled over for driving erratically, he thought he could talk his way out of trouble. So what if he had appeared drunk and refused to

Throughout the 1990s, Neal was Armstrong’s main soigneur at some domestic races and at national team training camps. But in Europe and at the big races, the honor of rubbing down Armstrong went to John Hendershot. Among soigneurs in the European peloton (another French word, one that refers to professional riders generally as well as the pack during a race), Hendershot was at once the cool kid and the calculating elder. Other soigneurs envied the money he made and the cachet that came with the cash. Wherever he walked — through race crowds or at home in Belgium — people turned to catch a glimpse. Teams wanted him. Armstrong wanted him. Neal said he was “like a god to me” and called him “the best soigneur that ever was.”

Hendershot, an American who lived in Belgium to be closer to the main cycling circuit, was a massage therapist, physical therapist and miracle worker. His laying-on of hands would bring an exhausted, aching rider to life. Eating at Hendershot’s direction, sleeping according to his advice, a rider began each morning reborn. He came with all the secrets of a soigneur and an unexpected skill developed over the years. In Neal’s words, Hendershot took to cycling’s drug culture “like a duck to water.” But his enthusiasm for and skills in chemistry would be remembered as his special talent. Before speaking to me last year, Hendershot — who had retired from the sport in 1996, shortly after Armstrong’s cancer diagnosis — had never told his story to a reporter. After all the years of silence, he seemed relieved to finally share it. For most of a decade, in the 1980s and ’90s, Hendershot sat in his makeshift laboratory, preparing for races. There he mixed, matched and mashed up drugs, always with one goal in mind: to make riders go faster. The mad scientist conjured up what he called “weird concoctions” of substances like ephedrine, nicotine, highly concentrated caffeine, drugs that widen blood vessels, blood thinners and testosterone, often trying to find creative ways to give a rider an extra physical boost during a race. He’d pour the mix into tiny bottles and hand them to riders at the starting line. Other times, he’d inject them with it. He wasn’t alone in this endeavor. Soigneurs all across Europe made homemade blends of potentially dangerous mixes and first drank or injected those potions into themselves. They were their own lab rats. Hendershot, who had no formal medical or scientific training, knew a concoction was way off when he felt his heart beating so fast and so loud, it sounded like a runaway freight train. That wouldn’t work for riders under extreme physical stress. He wanted “amped up,” but not to the point of a heart attack. It wasn’t long before Hendershot tried his potions and pills on the riders, including Armstrong. When Armstrong turned professional after the 1992 Olympics, he signed a contract with Motorola, one of the two major American teams. Because Armstrong wanted the best soigneur, he was immediately paired with Hendershot. It was a match made in doping heaven. Both soigneur and rider were willing to go to the brink of danger. “What we did was tread the fine line of dropping dead on your bike and winning,” Hendershot said. Hendershot said the riders on his teams had a choice about using drugs. They could “grab the ring or not.” He said he didn’t know a single professional cyclist who hadn’t at least dabbled in doping. The sport was simply too difficult — and many times impossible, as was the three-week Tour de France — for riders who didn’t rely on pharmaceutical help. When Armstrong arrived at Motorola in 1992, a system that facilitated riders’ drug use was firmly in place on the team — and most likely in the entire sport. Hendershot said he would take a list of drugs and bogus prescriptions for them to his local pharmacist in Hulste, Belgium, to get them filled and to obtain other drugs, too. Cycling has been one of Belgium’s most popular sports for generations, and the pharmacist didn’t question Hendershot’s request for such large quantities of drugs. In exchange, Hendershot would

give the pharmacist a signed team jersey or all-access passes to big races. Then he would leave with bags filled with the blood booster EPO, human growth hormone, blood thinners, amphetamines, cortisone, painkillers and testosterone, a particularly popular drug he’d hand to riders “like candy.” By 1993, Armstrong was using all of those substances, as did many riders on the team, Hendershot said. He remembered Armstrong’s attitude as being, “This is the stuff I take, this is part of what I do,” and Armstrong joined the team’s program without hesitation because everyone else seemed to be doing it. “It was like eating team dinner,” Hendershot said, adding that he had a hunch that virtually every person knew — doctors, soigneurs, riders, team managers, mechanics. He called the drug use casual and said he never had to hide any of it. After injecting the riders at a team hotel, he’d toss a trash bag filled with syringes and empty vials into the garbage can. Although Hendershot said he never administered EPO or growth hormone to Armstrong, he did give them to other riders on the team and said he was aware that Armstrong was using those drugs. Hendershot said his wife had driven a stash of those two drugs from Belgium to one of the team’s 1995 training camps in southern France. Riders like Armstrong could get drugs several ways, Hendershot said — from him, from their personal doctors or a doctor who worked with the team, or by buying them over the counter. Each rider would take his drugs to Hendershot, who would administer them by mixing a potion for the rider to drink or inject, or by injecting them into IVs the rider would receive, based on the doctor’s instructions. Sometimes, the drugs came in pill form, and Hendershot doled those out, too. Hendershot was always worried that he was administering something that would hurt the cyclists — or even possibly kill them — especially when they injected the substances into their IVs or when their personal doctors would prepare concoctions for Hendershot to give. He was concerned that he would be culpable if anything ever went wrong. Even as he provided drugs to riders, Hendershot said, he told himself: “You’re not a drug dealer. This isn’t organized. This is no big deal.” He knew he was lying. Hendershot rationalized the lie by saying the doping process was overseen by Max Testa, an Italian doctor who is still working in the sport and running a sports medicine clinic in Utah. In 2006, Testa told me that he gave his riders the instructions to use EPO but never administered drugs to those riders. This year, he said he didn’t want to discuss anything about the cyclists he had worked with, to protect the privacy of his patients. Still, if drug use was not mandated by the team, it appeared to be at least quasi-official. Hendershot trusted Testa to make sure the riders were staying safe, believing that Testa — unlike other doctors in cycling — actually cared for the riders’ health, and cared less about winning or money. Hendershot, however, put it this way: A doctor who refused to give riders drugs wouldn’t last in the sport. Armstrong liked Testa so much that he moved to Italy to be near the doctor’s office in Como, north of Milan. Not long after joining Motorola, Armstrong began living in Como during the racing season. He brought along his close friend Frankie Andreu, and in time several other riders joined them, including Hincapie, a New Yorker, and Livingston, a Midwesterner. All became patients of Testa. All later became riders on Armstrong’s Tour de France-winning U.S. Postal Service teams. Hendershot said all those riders probably believed they were doing no wrong by doping. The definition of cheating was flexible in a sport replete with pharmacology: It’s not cheating if everybody is doing it. Armstrong believed that to be the dead-solid truth. For him, there was no hesitation, no second-guessing, no rationalizing. As Hendershot had done, Armstrong grabbed the ring.

The house It’s June 2013, and Armstrong doesn’t want to move, he has to. His sponsors have abandoned him, taking away an estimated $75 million in future earnings. He would owe more than $135 million if he lost every lawsuit in which he is a defendant. To “slow the burn rate,” as he calls it, he has stopped renting a penthouse near Central Park in Manhattan and a house in Marfa, Texas. Next to go is this Austin estate, traded for a much more modest abode near downtown. His former sponsors — including Oakley, Trek Bicycle Corp., RadioShack and Nike — have left him scrambling for money. He considers them traitors. He says Trek’s revenue was $100 million when he signed with the company and reached $1 billion in 2013. “Who’s responsible for that?” he asks, before cursing and saying, “Right here.” He pokes himself in the chest with his right index finger. “I’m sorry, but that is true. Without me, none of that happens.”

Subject: ICELAND (e.g., What is the capital city of Iceland? Answer: Reykjavik.)

Dear Annie: My sister complains that our mother (who can be narcissistic and self-centered) has never reached out to her son. “Mitch” is now 25, and Mom has never tried to get to know him. Mom sent my daughter (now 33) on trips to Europe and would visit us often, but did not do the same for Mitch. Mitch is not easy. I used to send him gifts for birthdays and other milestones and never received any response, so I finally stopped. In person, he is monosyllabic and quiet. When he was 2, I remember seeing him bite my sister and throw tantrums. Mitch is very bright. He’s been in college off and on for the past six years, but still has not finished his degree. I am fairly certain that he was into pot through high school and may still be. He has never had a real job, although he’s worked part-time temp positions. My sister’s relationship with our mother has always been slightly problematic. She is now divorced and struggling financially, and my mother is well off. Mitch could use help with tuition and books. When I suggested that he call or email his grandmother occasionally to let her know what’s going on in his life, my sister became angry. She blames Mom for never reaching out to the “child” and claims a normal grandparent would show an interest in her grandson. She insists the onus is on the adult in the relationship. Is there an answer to this dilemma? — Confused Sister and Aunt Dear Confused: First of all, let’s eliminate what Mitch did when he was 2. It is ridiculous and unforgiving to stigmatize a child as “difficult” because he bit and threw tantrums as a toddler. And yes, your mother should have made an effort to know and love her grandson regardless of how difficult he may have been. That said, however, Mitch is an adult now and is responsible for his own behavior. If he believes

his grandmother doesn’t care about him, he’s unlikely to email her. If your sister reinforces the idea that it’s Grandma’s responsibility to initiate contact, Mitch won’t do anything. And if Grandma is narcissistic and selfcentered, she may have no interest in Mitch, because it requires too much of her. This kid may not be easy, but he has been rejected by members of his family for most of his life. Please be kind. Dear Annie: Our daughter is getting married in the fall, and we are having the wedding and reception in our backyard. How can we ask guests not to use their cellphones or text during the festivities? This rudeness has become acceptable, but not to my wife or me. — Jim Dear Jim: It’s perfectly OK to ask your guests to turn off or mute their cellphones during the ceremony. The minister or best man can make the announcement before the wedding begins. But you will have less luck at the reception. People want to take photos of themselves and their friends and text a play-by-play to those who couldn’t attend. You can ask the guests to put their phones away so they can enjoy the real-time fun, but you cannot force them. If there is a band, even a muted noise level should be enough to lessen the distraction. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Polly Positive,” whose husband is dealing with cancer, and family and friends keep telling him horror stories about death. My nephew was recently diagnosed with cancer. He invited me for Thanksgiving, and I was dreading it. One of the first things I did was go online and look up “what NOT to say to cancer patients.” I was amazed to see what comes out of the mouths of otherwise intelligent people. I encourage all of your readers to do this. It may save them from stepping on their tongues — Prayerful in K. Falls
