ki Santa Fe’s hiring fair drew 200 people Friday who were looking for full- and part-time jobs during the ski season.

The hiring fair continues from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday in the La Casa Cafeteria at the base of the ski area, which will notify applicants Monday or Tuesday about whether they have been hired.

Ski Santa Fe tentatively plans to open Thanksgiving Day. On peak days, there can be up to 500 people working on the mountain.

New this year at the ski area is a Wintersteiger Mercury, a fully automated ski and snowboard tuning machine. One of only a few in the U.S., it is capable of completing a precision tuneup in minutes.

Ski Santa Fe’s base depth was only 6 inches Friday afternoon. But that’s

likely to change over the weekend.

The National Weather Service reported Friday that a “potent upper level disturbance” was moving into Northern New Mexico, bringing breezy to windy conditions and mountain snows. Snow levels were expected to start above 10,000 feet and gradually lower to near 7,500 feet by Saturday morning.

The west-facing slopes of the Sangre de Cristos were expected to receive more significant snowfalls.

Damaging winds are possible across the eastern slopes late Saturday through early Sunday.

For Santa Fe, scattered rain was predicted for after midnight Friday, with winds and isolated rain showers forecast for Saturday, along with highs in the 50s. Gusts of up to 50 mph are possible. Sunday’s forecast is for sun and more winds and highs in the 50s.

State refuses to delay new teacher evaluation system

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Despite opposition from some New Mexico teachers and Democratic lawmakers, the Martinez administration intends to continue implementing a teacher evaluation system it launched in August.

Earlier this week, Sen. John Sapien, D-Corrales, and Rep. Rick Miera, D-Albuquerque, asked Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera to slow the evaluation process to give teachers — who are already under pressure to incorporate new Common Core Standards — more time to acclimate to the rating system.

And in September, some Democratic legislators joined teachers unions in filing a District Court lawsuit in Albuquerque to

halt implementation of the new evaluation system, arguing that it violates the School Personnel Act because it does not have legislative support. That case is due to be heard Nov. 21.

But the administration signaled this week that it will not budge. Skandera told Sapien and Miera via a Nov. 12 letter that “now is not the time to delay.”

She noted that the state’s low status in national education rankings warrants immediate action.

The evaluations would affect about 18,000 teachers statewide.

Sapien is chairman of the Senate Education Committee, and both he and Miera are members of the Legislative Education Study Committee, which met Thursday to discuss the issue.

The teacher evaluation system, supported by Gov. Susana Martinez and implemented by Skan-

dera this year, measures teacher performance using a variety of factors, but 50 percent of a teacher’s rating is based on students’ Standards Based Assessment scores. Principals’ observations of classroom teaching account for 25 percent of the evaluation.

Not all of the state’s 89 districts have aligned with the Public Education Department’s teacher evaluation system — Santa Fe Public Schools is one of several that have put together their own plans — though all districts must emphasize student test score data.

While the heavy emphasis on test scores has been a point of contention, Thursday’s discussion focused on the observation portion of the teacher evaluations. Many legislators from both parties said they have heard

As President Barack Obama met with insurance regulators Friday to explain his sudden change on canceled health insurance plans, New Mexico regulators and insurance companies were still trying to figure out what it all means.

Thousands of New Mexicans with individual plans who received policy termination notices weeks ago will be affected by whatever happens next.

Obama announced that state regulators now have the option of letting insurance companies sell plans for another year that aren’t compliant with the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

House approves health law change Lawmakers vote to permit the sale of plans that don’t meet federal requirements

By David Espo

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Brushing aside a White House veto threat, the Republicancontrolled House voted by a healthy bipartisan majority Friday to weaken a core component of “Obamacare” and permit the sale of individual health coverage that falls short of requirements in the law.

In all, 39 Democrats broke ranks and supported the legislation, a total that underscored the growing importance of the issue in the weeks since millions of cancellation notices went out to consumers covered by plans deemed inadequate under federal rules.

The final vote was 261-157 as lawmakers clashed over an issue likely to be at the heart of next year’s midterm elections. The measure faces an uncertain fate in the Senate, where Democrats seeking re-election in 2014 are leading a move for similar legislation.

“For the last six weeks the White House stood idly by ignoring the pleas of millions,”

In brief U.S. says nuke deal offers Iran minor relief from sanctions WASHINGTON — Iran would get only minor relief from economic sanctions under an international proposal to prevent it from producing nuclear weapons, two Obama administration officials said Friday, seeking to calm concerns in Israel and on Capitol Hill that the U.S. and its allies are giving away too much to Tehran.

While playing down the sanctions relief being discussed, the administration was hoping it would be enough to finalize an initial agreement with Iran next week in Geneva.

Last week’s negotiations failed to reach an agreement between Iran and six world powers — the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany — that would resolve a decade-long standoff over Iran’s nuclear program. The countries worry that Tehran is trying to assemble an atomic weapons arsenal.

Iran insists it has a right to pursue a nuclear program solely for peaceful energy production and medical research

5-year-old boy a smash hit as Batkid

By Paul Elias and Sudhin Thanawala The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO ressed in a black Batman costume, his fists clenched as he took on foe after foe around San Francisco, a 5-year-old boy who has battled leukemia for years fulfilled his wish Friday to be his favorite superhero.

In the process, Miles Scott became a darling of social media and attracted thousands of fans around the country, including the White House.

“When you have an illness, it’s very important to know you have a support system,” said Gina Futrell, a 51-year-old with multiple sclerosis, who was among a large crowd gathered at Union Square for a chance to so see the Batkid in action.

Batkid was called into service by Police Chief Greg Suhr and spent the day zooming from one “crime scene” to the next.

Accompanied by an adult Batman impersonator, Batkid rescued a damsel in distress from cable car tracks, captured the Riddler as he robbed a bank and saved the San Francisco Giants mascot — Lou Seal — from the Penguin’s clutches.

Miles was able to fulfill his wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the city and volunteers who stepped forward to help. He was diagnosed three years ago, underwent chemotherapy treatment and is now in remission.

Batkid had a police escort worthy of a dignitary as he sped around the city in a black Lamborghini with a Batman decal, with officers blocking traffic and riding alongside him on motorcycles.

The White House sent out a tweet encouraging Batkid to “Go get ’em!” In a video recording, President Barack Obama said, “Way to go, Miles! Way to save Gotham!”

The crowds grew after each stop, reaching into the thousands by the time Miles got to Union Square for lunch at the Burger Bar

atop Macy’s. Spectators climbed trees and clambered up lampposts, and police and organizers struggled to keep a path open for the motorcade.

At Batkid’s stop in the city’s Russian Hill neighborhood, a woman sat on the cable car tracks in a dress and thigh-high black boots.

She had a handkerchief around her mouth, and her hands were bound behind her back.

Batman and Batkid sprang into action, with the aid of a trampoline, as the crowd roared.

They rescued the woman and disabled a plastic replica bomb she was tied to.

The two masked superheroes then took off to nab the Riddler as he robbed a downtown bank. They later jetted to the Penguin’s kidnapping of Lou Seal.

The 5-year-old at first seemed overwhelmed by the outpouring.

But by the time he reached City Hall to receive a key to the city in front of the biggest crowd of the day, Miles was all smiles and bravado.

Although he didn’t address the crowd, he raised his fist twice and wore a grin as he was feted with chocolate, an FBI “raid jacket” and a San Francisco Police Department cap.

A clothing company donated $10,000 to Miles’ family, and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee proclaimed Nov. 15 to be “Batkid Day Forever.”

U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag unveiled an “indictment” charging the Penguin and Riddler with conspiracy as the crowd that stretched for blocks roared with delight.

Miles’ father, Nick Scott, was asked what the boy liked best about Batman. “The cape, I guess,” he said.

The father thanked the crowd, organizers and the city for showing his son a good time.

Miles, who lives in Tulelake in far Northern California, didn’t know what was in store for him and thought he was in San Francisco just to get a Batman costume so he could dress like his favorite superhero.

He was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 18 months old and ended treatments in June.

Make-A-Wish has fulfilled similar wishes across the country.

The San Francisco Chronicle, KGO-TV and thousands of volunteers participated in the event. At Union Square, the Chronicle distributed hundreds of copies of special-edition newspapers with the headline “Batkid Saves City.”

BEIJING — China’s leaders announced Friday the first significant easing of its one-child policy in nearly 30 years and moved to abolish its labor camp system — addressing deeply unpopular programs at a time when the Communist Party feels increasingly alienated from the public.

Beijing also pledged to open state-dominated industries wider to private competition and ease limits on foreign investment in e-commerce and other businesses in a sweeping reform plan aimed at rejuvenating a slowing economy.

The extent of the long-debated changes to the family planning rules and the labor camp system surprised some analysts. They were contained in a policy document issued after a four-day meeting of party leaders one year after Xi Jinping took the country’s helm.

Toronto City Council strips mayor of some of his powers TORONTO — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford vowed Friday to take City Council to court after it voted overwhelmingly to strip him of some of his powers over his admitted drug use, public drinking and increasingly erratic behavior.

The motion, approved in a 39-3 vote, suspends Ford’s authority to appoint and dismiss the deputy mayor and his executive committee, which runs the budget process. The council also voted to give the deputy mayor authority to handle any civic emergency. The effort is to continue Monday when the council moves to strip the mayor of most of his remaining powers.

The votes capped another frenzied week of twists and turns in a scandal that has consumed Canada’s largest city and financial capital for months.

California teacher pleads no contest to lewd-act charges LOS ANGELES — A once-respected former teacher accused of committing lewd acts on children in what authorities said he called “tasting games” pleaded no contest Friday as victims’ family members tearfully told him he had ruined their lives.

Mark Berndt, 62, entered the legal equivalent of guilty pleas to 23 counts of committing lewd acts on children. Under a plea deal, the former teacher at Miramonte Elementary School in Los Angeles was immediately sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Prosecutors have said in Berndt’s “tasting games” he fed students his semen on cookies and by spoon, sometimes blindfolding and photographing them.

Albania refuses to accept Syria’s chemical weapons

By Mike Corder and Nebi Qena The Associated Press

TIRANA, Albania — The mission to destroy Syria’s poison gas stockpile was dealt a serious blow Friday when Albania refused to host the destruction, but the global chemical weapons watchdog said it is still confident it can eradicate the arsenal outside Syria by the middle of next year.

The surprise refusal by the small and impoverished Balkan country left open the question of where the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons would send Syria’s estimated 1,300-ton arsenal, which includes mustard gas and sarin.

“I can’t name a country at this point, but obviously there are options and there are ways in which this can be accom-

plished,” senior OPCW official Malik Ellahi said at the organization’s headquarters at The Hague, Netherlands.

Syria has said it wants the weapons destroyed outside the country, which is in the throes of civil war.

Albania had been considered the strongest hope, and few diplomats expected the NATO

country of 2.8 million people to reject what Prime Minister Edi Rama said had been a direct request from the U.S. But the plan was unpopular in Albania, and young protesters had camped outside Rama’s office to oppose it, fearing it would be a health and environmental hazard.

Chemical weapons have to be

incinerated at extremely high temperatures or neutralized using other chemicals — both costly, risky and time-consuming operations that require specialized machinery.

In a televised address from the capital of Tirana, Rama said that it was “impossible for Albania to take part in this operation” — an announcement that brought a loud cheer from some of the 2,000 protesters.

Rama said he rejected the request because other countries, which he did not identify, were not prepared to be a part of the operation.

The OPCW’s Ellahi said: “It was a sovereign decision that Albania has taken.”

In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jan Psaki said the decision would not hurt U.S.-Albanian relations.

“We appreciate Albania look-

ing seriously at hosting the destruction of chemical weapons,” she said. “The international community continues to discuss the most effective and expeditious means for eliminating Syria’s chemical weapons program in the safest manner possible.”

Albania is one of only three nations that have declared a chemical weapons stockpile to the OPCW and destroyed it.

The U.S. and Russia have also declared stockpiles but have not yet completed their destruction.

Tirana has been an avid supporter of Washington since the U.S. and NATO intervened with airstrikes in 1999 to stop a crackdown by Serb forces on rebel ethnic Albanians in neighboring Kosovo. “Without the United States, Albanians would never have been free and independent in two countries that they are

LAPD probes delay in aid for TSA worker

By Tami Abdollah The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — An airport police union spokesman said Friday that medical attention for a Transportation Security Administration officer shot by a gunman was delayed because a Los Angeles Police Department officer told other responders the man was dead.

LAPD said it would investigate whether the veteran officer hindered efforts to rescue TSA Officer Gerardo Hernandez, who lay on the floor helplessly bleeding for 33 minutes after a Nov. 1 shooting attack at Los Angeles International Airport.

The investigation, which is routine any time allegations are made about an officer, will be conducted in addition to a review of whether paramedics were kept too long from Terminal 3 to attend to victims after suspect Paul Ciancia had been shot and taken into custody.

Ciancia could face the death penalty if convicted of a federal murder charge.

He is accused of targeting TSA workers Gerardo in a vendetta Hernandez against the federal government, shooting Hernandez, two other TSA workers and a teacher with an assault rifle. He remains hospitalized.

Hernandez bled about 20 feet from an exit as ambulances and rescue workers gathered nearby waiting for commanders to determine the chaotic scene was safe enough to enter, according to two law-enforcement officials, who were briefed on the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity because an investigation was ongoing.

Formal conclusions could take months, but what’s known

raises the possibility that a lack of coordination between police and fire officials prevented speedy treatment for Hernandez and other victims.

Marshall McClain, president of the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association, raised the possibility Friday that the actions by Officer John Long also delayed help for Hernandez.

Police broadcast over their radios that a suspect was in custody at 9:25 a.m., five minutes after Hernandez was shot in the chest. That’s when Long checked on Hernandez several times, repeatedly telling officers who came by from various agencies that he was dead, according to a law enforcement official.

Officers from multiple agencies bent down to check on Hernandez before moving on; no officers rendered first aid on scene, according to surveillance video reviewed by the officials.

Airport police who came to check on Hernandez after attending to other victims were told by Long, “ ‘he’s dead,’ ” McClain said. But after an airport officer found what he thought was a faint pulse, he took Hernandez in a wheelchair to an ambulance, said McClain, who gathered his account by talking to the airport officers involved.

Hernandez arrived at a hospital with no signs of life and was declared dead after doctors tried for about an hour to revive him.

today,” Rama said in an apologetic speech.

But the relationship was not enough to convince the hundreds of protesters.

“We don’t have the infrastructure here to deal with the chemical weapons. We can’t deal with our own stuff, let alone Syrian weapons,” said 19-yearold architecture student Maria Pesha, among the protesters.

Albania has had problems with ammunition storage in the past.

In 2008, an explosion at an ammunition dump at Gerdec near Tirana killed 26 people, wounded 300 others and destroyed or damaged 5,500 houses. Investigators said it was caused by a burning cigarette in a factory where some 1,400 tons of explosives, mostly obsolete artillery shells, were stored for disposal.

Remittances to Latin America rebound — except in Mexico

By Carol J. Williams

Los Angeles Times

The amount of money U.S. immigrants send to their families in Latin America has more than doubled since 2000, and the cash flow home — except to Mexico — has recovered from a considerable drop during the Great Recession, a 13-year survey of remittance trends shows.

For years, remittances have far outpaced foreign aid in helping lift people out of poverty in Latin America, the study released Friday by Pew Research Center notes.

In 2011, remittances totaled $53.1 bil-

lion, more than eight times the amount of official aid, the report says.

More than half of those from Spanish-speaking countries — 54 percent — send part of their U.S. earnings home, and 17 percent of U.S.-born Latinos also maintain financial lifelines to relatives abroad, the research shows.

The remittance flows and trends were determined by a review of World Bank data from 2000 to 2013. While the amount of remittances rose steadily year on year in the first half of the last decade, the U.S. housing crisis that began in 2007 started taking a toll on immigrant workers’ largesse.

Remittances dropped significantly

during the following two years, the researchers said, when construction and labor jobs dried up and the arrival of immigrants, versus the number departing the U.S, shrank to near zero.

Money transfers to the 17 Latin American countries surveyed have picked up over the last four years, on course to reach $53.8 billion by the end of this year. But that figure remains 13 percent below the prerecession peak of $61.6 billion in 2007, Pew reported.

For Mexico, the recession’s effect has been even more lingering, with this year’s expected remittance intake of $22 billion still down 29 percent from the 2006 peak. The decline apparently

reflects the drop in Mexican immigration to the United States.

Other findings of the study: u The U.S. is the most important source of remittances to Latin America, accounting for three-quarters of last year’s $52.9 billion total. Spain was the second-largest provider of money to Latin America, contributing 8 percent, or $4 billion, followed by Canada, where immigrants sent home 1 percent of the regional total, or $704 million. u A significant portion of remittances, in many cases the majority, was spent on food, clothing and other daily essentials. That allowed for rising living standards for recipients but left little for

Change: Measure’s fate in Senate is uncertain

Switch: Decision may raise policy premiums Continued from Page A-1

Continued from Page A-1 said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and lead sponsor of the legislation.

“Our straightforward, one-page bill says, if you like your current coverage, you should be able to keep it. The president should heed his own advice and work with us, the Congress, as the founders intended, not around the legislative process.”

But Democrats said the measure was just another in a long line of attacks on the health care bill from Republicans who have voted repeatedly to repeal it.

“It would take away the core protections of that law. It creates an entire shadow market of substandard health care plans,” said Rep. Henry Waxman of California.

The vote came shortly before President Barack Obama welcomed insurance company CEOs to a White House meeting, and one day after he announced a shift toward making good on his oftrepeated promise that anyone liking his pre-Obamacare coverage would be able to keep it.

In brief opening remarks, he did not refer to the House vote, and showed no give in his commitment to the program known by his name. “Because of choice and competition, a whole lot of Americans who have always seen health insurance out of reach are going to be in a position to purchase it,” he said.

The events capped a remarkable series of politically inspired maneuvers in recent days. The president and lawmakers in both parties have sought to position themselves as allies of consumers who are receiving cancellation notices — yet have made no move to cooperate on legislation that could require those consumers’ coverage to be renewed if they wanted to keep it.

Neither Obama’s new policy nor the bill passed in the House would ensure that anyone whose policy is canceled will be able to keep it. Instead, both would permit insurance companies to sell coverage renewals if they wish — subject to approval by state insurance commissioners.

The White House meeting came as the industry and state commissioners began adjusting to the president’s day-old change in policy.

Under the shift, Obama said insurers should be permitted to continue to sell to existing customers individual coverage plans that would be deemed substandard under the health care law. Without the change, many existing plans would have been banned beginning next year, and the president’s announcement was an attempt to quell a public and political furor triggered by millions of cancellation notices.

The House measure went one step further. It would give insurance firms the ability to sell individual plans to new as well as existing customers, even if the coverage falls short of the law’s requirements.

Democrats sought to substitute a plan of their own that consisted largely of

job-creating investment. u Remittances accounted for the highest percentage of GDP in El Salvador (16.5 percent), Honduras (15.7 percent) and Guatemala 10 percent). u Globally, India is taking in the most in remittances, with an estimated $71 billion this year from its legions of citizens working abroad. China ranks second, receiving $60.2 billion, and the Philippines, where more than 1 in 10 citizens is working overseas, will have received more than $26 billion by the end of this year. (That figure was determined before Typhoon Haiyan, which could spur more giving by Filipinos abroad.)

Obama’s new policy, but failed on a partyline vote.

Even so, the combination of the president’s announcement and his party’s alternative apparently siphoned off a large number of Democratic votes from the GOP measure.

In a veto threat Thursday night, the White House accused Republicans of seeking to “sabotage the health care law,” and said their measure would allow “insurers to continue to sell new plans that deploy practices such as not offering coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, charging women more than men, and continuing yearly caps on the amount of care that enrollees receive.” A veto would come into play only if both houses approve legislation and send it to the White House for the president’s signature.

Political calculations were evident as Obamacare produced yet more controversy.

The political arms of both parties in both houses churned out attacks all week that underscore the importance of the issue in the 2014 elections. Additionally, Obama made an unusual attempt on Thursday to shelter any Democrat who may have said when the bill was under consideration in 2010 — as he did — that anyone wanting to keep current coverage would be permitted to.

“They were entirely sincere about it,” he said of the lawmakers. “It’s not on them, it’s on us.”

In the Senate, a handful of Democrats who face tough re-election races next year, led by Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisi-

ana, are supporting legislation to require insurance companies to renew policies cancelled because of the law.

Under the law, plans generally are required to meet numerous conditions.

Among them, they would have to accept all customers, regardless of pre-existing conditions, would be limited in additional premiums they could charge on the basis of age and could not cap lifetime benefits.

They also would have to provide coverage in a wide range of areas — doctor and hospital care for adults and children, laboratory services, preventive coverage and prescription drugs among them.

The cancellation issue is only part of the woes confronting the president and his allies as they struggle to sustain the health care law.

Obama has repeatedly apologized for a dismal launch of www.healthcare.gov, which consumers in 36 states were supposed to use beginning on Oct. 1 to sign up for new coverage. The website is so riddled with problems that the administration disclosed earlier this week that fewer than 27,000 signups have been completed — a number that Republicans noted is dwarfed by the flood of cancellations issued due to the law.

Compounding the administration’s misery, the poor quality of the website has made it that much harder for consumers receiving cancellation notices to shop for alternative plans.

It is unclear what, if anything, the administration is prepared to do to alleviate the threat of a break in coverage for those consumers.

Meanwhile, Americans in need of insurance continue to have problems signing up on the online federal health insurance exchange, the signature feature of the law.

Insurance companies and regulators say Obama’s announcement is a major policy change affecting three years worth of work to transition customers into the health insurance market. “This is not as simple as turning a dial and saying, ‘stay on the plans,’ ” said Lisa Lujan, president of Presbyterian Healthcare in New Mexico. “There have been tremendous changes to the system to get ready for the [health law].”

The insurance industry was surprised by the president’s move, Lujan said. “We’ve been planning this for a long time, preparing plans and the system for two years. To undo something that quickly is challenging.”

New Mexico insurers already had a stopgap measure in place to help customers in the individual market who have plans that don’t comply with the federal law. State Superintendent of Insurance John Franchini months ago offered insurance companies the option of “grandfathering in” or extending existing plans that didn’t meet the guidelines, giving those customers some more time to get on the federal health insurance exchange.

Franchini said in a recent interview that the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, which represents state regulators, might not have liked his decision back then — but in retrospect, he said, given the problems now with the federal health exchange, “we look pretty smart.”

Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico, for example, has 28,000 policyholders on individual plans.

None of them received a cancellation notice. Instead, 17,000 people with individual plans can keep their coverage indefinitely if they make no changes to their policies.

But they will see a 10.2 percent increase in their premiums next year.

About 11,000 other Blue Cross policyholders in the self-insured, individual market have policies that were not “grandfathered” and, therefore, would have to find new plans that comply with federal requirements starting Jan. 1, 2014, or when their current policies expire throughout the year, said the company’s spokeswoman, Becky Kinney. The company changed the renewal date of all of its individual policies to Dec. 1 so all current policyholders can renew their plans and keep their coverage through Nov. 30, 2014. But their premiums will have an average 9.2 percent increase starting Jan. 1, Kinney said.

About 3.8 percent of those premium increases pay for fees associated with the Affordable Care Act,

said Janice Torres, vice president of external affairs for Blue Cross.

“Our goal was to offer the most choice and options for our policyholders. We were able to do that,” Kinney said.

Presbyterian Healthcare Services chose a different strategy to address individual plans that don’t meet the requirements. The company sent cancellation notices in September to several thousand self-insured policyholders, effective Nov. 30.

The letters offer policyholders two options besides switching to new coverage through the health insurance exchange: Customers can choose a plan that meets most of the requirements of the health law but doesn’t provide maternity coverage, or they can choose a second option that does provide maternity coverage. Under both plans, policyholders’ premiums will be higher. Those who sign up for either option between now and Dec. 31 can keep the plans through Nov. 30, 2014. Customers also can opt to switch to a different insurance company through the exchange.

“As of today, we believe we still have these options,” Lujan said. She said about one-third of the company’s individual market policyholders already have selected one of the two options.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners, representing all the state insurance regulators, issued a statement expressing dismay at the president’s decision to allow consumers to keep coverage that doesn’t comply with the federal law.

“The NAIC has been clear from the beginning that allowing insurers to have different rules for different policies would be detrimental to the overall market and result in higher premiums,” said NAIC President and Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon in a statement issued Friday.

Donelon said the president’s decision to delay enforcement of the health law for all plans “continues different rules for different policies and threatens to undermine the new market, and may lead to higher premiums and market disruptions in 2014 and beyond.”

Changing the rules this late in the game stands to only make things worse as consumers make the transition into the federal health insurance exchange, Donelon said.

The U.S House of Representatives, meanwhile, voted 261-157 on Friday in support of Obama’s proposal to allow insurance companies to sell plans or to re-enroll policyholders in plans that don’t meet the federal requirements.

Teacher: Concerns about time needed for task come up at meeting Continued from Page A-1 complaints from principals that the requirements are too burdensome.

Some say the initial classroom observations can take up to four hours — including paperwork and a post-evaluation discussion. If a principal has to perform 25 evaluations in a school, that job alone adds up to more than two weeks of work.

The observations cover four domains — preparation and planning, creating an environment for learning, teaching for learning and professionalism.

Teachers can be rated as ineffective, minimally effective, effective, highly effective or exemplary.

The observation guidelines lay out

specific actions required for each rating. For instance, to earn a rating as exemplary under the preparation and planning domain, a teacher would have to show that he or she provides support to novice and struggling teachers.

Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd said in an interview last week that his principals also say the classroom observations take a lot of their time, creating a “significant crunch for them in terms of everything else they need to accomplish.” But, Boyd emphasized, the new evaluation system is an improvement over the state’s previous plan, which merely ranked teachers as “meeting competencies” or “not meeting competencies.”

Matthew Montaño, director of the Education Quality Division of the Public Education Department, told the legislative committee that over time, principals should be able to perform the evaluations more quickly.

Legislators also related complaints about breakdowns of the online TeachScape system that principals use to log teacher evaluations. Montaño acknowledged the system has had glitches.

Montaño and Leighann Lenti, the department’s policy director, told the legislators that other states, including Tennessee, are reporting growing acceptance and approval of new teacher evaluation systems.

Lenti echoed Skandera’s stance, tell-

ing the committee, “We will not delay.”

Rep. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, said she has received numerous calls from teachers who are overwhelmed by the new Common Core Standards and are concerned about the evaluation system.

“I’m flabbergasted that you have not heard people’s cries to put this off a year,” she told Montaño.

Sen. William Soules, D-Las Cruces, said he’s heard that teachers have the impression that a plan supposedly designed to help them improve will ultimately become a tool to decide “whether they have a job or not.”

But Rep. Dennis Roch, R-Texico, an educator who is conducting the

evaluations himself in his district, said many teachers are embracing the system as they learn more about what is required of them.

After Thursday’s hearing, Montaño explained that teachers who are found to be “ineffective” or “minimally effective” will be given a professional growth plan to help get them on track within a year.

But he said there is no language in state statutes directing principals and superintendents to fire teachers who fall into these categories — or requiring them to keep such teachers in their schools.

Susan Tan, a grocery store owner in Guiuan, was all set to fly elsewhere in the country after hungry townsfolk swarmed her business a few days after the storm, stripping the shelves of everything of value.

“I can’t just go to Cebu and sit in the mall while this place is in ruins,” she said. “Although I’ve been looted and made bankrupt by this, I cannot refuse my friends and my town. We need to help each other.”

The U.S. military said it will send about 1,000 more troops along with additional ships and aircraft to join the aid effort.

The ethanol groups expressed hope that the EPA could be persuaded to change course before finalizing its decision.

The Renewable Fuel Standard has come under fire from a variety of sources beyond those who worry it will damage engines.

Some Republicans say its original purpose of lessening dependence on foreign oil is no longer relevant now that the United States is in the midst of an oil boom, while food manufacturers argue the standard drives up corn prices — making it more expensive to raise food animals that are fed corn and driving up the cost of corn-based food additives.

The EPA said Friday that it will seek answers on how to deal with the blend wall.

The law gives the EPA flexibility to make changes to the targets, which Congress approved six years ago.

Michigan Republican Rep. Fred Upton, who chairs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, said the EPA’s decision is a short-term fix, and he’ll work on long-term changes to the renewables standard.

California Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman said the EPA is addressing concerns about the issue thoughtfully. He said that in the future the EPA also needs to encourage development of biofuels from sources other than corn.

D.H. Lawrence Ranch could reopen amid efforts in Taos

By Elizabeth Cleary The Taos News

TAOS — Members of the Taos community have joined in an effort to reopen the well-known D.H. Lawrence Ranch, one of the most sought-after sites in the area.

Located in the village of San Cristobal, the ranch closed to the public in 2008; since then, it has been opened to visitors on an invitation-only basis, according to documents provided by the Taos Community Foundation, which helped form the D.H. Lawrence Ranch Alliance.

Foundation Director Elizabeth Crittenden Palacios said the Lawrence ranch is the most frequently askedabout destination in the Taos area, second only to Taos Pueblo.

Famed socialite Mabel Dodge Luhan gave the 160-acre property to the English-born author and his wife, Freida, in 1924. Lawrence, widely regarded as one of the most talented writers of the 20th century, died in 1930, and his ashes are believed to have been incorporated into a memorial at the ranch.

Lawrence visited New Mexico three times and spent a total of just 11 months here, according to a paper written by Rachel Mauer for the Taos Summer Writers’ Conference, but the land had a profound influence on him.

“I think New Mexico is the greatest experience I ever had from the outside world,” he wrote. “It certainly changed me forever.”

The University of New Mexico Physical Plant Department in Albuquerque oversees the Lawrence ranch property, which Palacios said had fallen into disrepair after the caretaker died in 2008. UNM has made some recent repairs, with the help of a $30,000 grant provided by the Taos Community Foundation.

Palacios said the alliance hopes to see the ranch reopen with regular walk-in hours, so that visitors can drop by, look around and learn the history of the site.

The alliance also would like the Taos community to have a seat at the table when it comes to making decisions concerning the ranch. Currently, it does not.

Both the town of Taos and Taos County have adopted resolutions endorsing the effort to reopen the ranch.

“This is an important piece of history that we should protect,” Palacios said.

The ranch previously was known as the Kiowa Ranch because a trade route used by the Kiowa Indians runs through the property. A number of influential 20th-century figures, such as artist Georgia O’Keeffe, spent time there, according to Mauer.

Palacios said the challenge now is to come to an agreement with UNM on operating the ranch as a visitors center. The alliance has met with UNM President Robert Frank, who agreed to work with the group to create a public/private partnership, she said, adding that currently, if any individual or group wants to see the ranch, they have to make a formal request through UNM. Dianne Anderson, director of communications for UNM, said the university plans to work with the ranch alliance on a plan for reopening the property.

She said many parts of the ranch could be reopened with few problems, but cabins located in a heavily wooded area of the ranch are infested with deer mice, and half of those mice have tested positive for hantavirus.

She said the university suggested creating a docent program, in which volunteers serve as tour guides.

Our writer goes on to explain that should any of the horsemen escape with the whole bird, he takes it at once to his lady and presents it to her. And she carries the feathered creature that same night to the village dance, where she displays it as proof that her man is the best lover in the neighborhood.

As far back as the Middle Ages, the corrida de gallo was popular throughout Spain.

There, the rooster was often suspended by its feet from a rope stretched across a narrow street. The riders dashed by, rising in their stirrups in an effort

to wring off the bird’s head.

That was made harder because men tugged at either end of the rope so that the target bobbed wildly in the air.

The chicken, an Old World bird, was brought from Spain to Mexico, and eventually to the upper Rio Grande Valley.

With it came the corrida de gallo. Soon the Pueblo Indians adopted the rooster pull. And, as a matter of fact, they are the only ones who have done it in recent times, the custom having died out in Hispanic communities during the 1940s.

DNA reveals how wolves evolved into our pet dogs

W

hen it comes to evolutionary debates, this one is a major dogfight.

Since the time of Charles Darwin, scientists have argued over the origin of domesticated dogs and how, when and where a toothy, flesheating beast was transformed into man’s best friend.

Some experts believe our ancestors in the Middle East and elsewhere were naturally drawn to small, furry wolf pups and seized them as novelties. Others suggest they were raised as a source of meat in early agrarian societies in Asia.

Yet another theory holds that early protodogs were enlisted as helpers by roving bands of hunters, long before humankind ever experimented with agricultural livestock.

Now, thanks to faster and cheaper DNA sequencing technology, this epic argument over what sparked the Big Bark may finally be drawing to a close.

After analyzing the mitochondrial genomes of 18 ancient dogs and wolves and comparing them with an array of modern counterparts, evolutionary biologists have concluded that dog domestication most likely occurred in Ice Age Europe 18,800 to 32,100 years ago. That’s much earlier, and much farther north, than previously believed, according to the researchers’ report published Thursday in the journal Science.

Dogs, the authors wrote, evolved from a now extinct species of European wolf that followed bands of nomadic or semi-nomadic humans who were hunting woolly mammoths and other large prey.

Initially, the wolves sought out the carcasses and scraps of meat left behind by people. Over time, these hang-around wolves began to fill a special role in human huntergatherer society, the researchers surmised.

“The initial interactions were probably at

arm’s length, as these were large, aggressive carnivores,” said University of California, Los Angeles, evolutionary biologist Robert Wayne, the study’s senior author. “Eventually, though, wolves entered the human niche. …

Maybe they even assisted humans in locating prey, or deterred other carnivores from interfering with the hunting activities of humans.”

After being welcomed into human society in Europe, domesticated dogs spread across the Old World, and then to the Americas.

However, the robust European wolf that got the fetch ball rolling left no living descendants other than dogs.

“Wolves living on the planet today are not the closest group to the ancestor of dogs,” said Wayne, who conducted the research with colleagues in Germany, Finland, Belgium, Russia, Spain, Argentina and the United States.

Until recently, many archaeologists and biologists believed that dogs were first domesticated no more than 13,000 years ago, either in East Asia or the Middle East.

One key find was a burial site in Israel that contained the 12,000-year-old remains of an elderly man cradling a puppy, evidence of the unique bond between dogs and humans.

Tracing the exact path of dog evolution has been extremely difficult. Ancient dog remains are hard to distinguish from wolf remains, and frequent interbreeding between dogs and wolves further complicates matters.

Add to that mankind’s zealous breeding of dogs to enhance specific traits and behaviors and the genetic water becomes very cloudy.

In fact, Charles Darwin believed that the dizzying variety of dog breeds argued strongly that dogs must have had more than one wild ancestor. Genetic researchers today say this is most likely not the case and that domesticated dogs evolved from one ancestor, in one region.

“On some levels, understanding the geographic origins of dogs is definitely more difficult than studying humans,” said Greger Larson, a bioarchaeologist at Britain’s Durham University.

Larson, who was not involved in the Sci-

ence paper, said Wayne and his colleagues had “significantly advanced” the debate on domestication. “I really like this paper,” Larson said. “Dogs have always been hard to pin down, and there have always been crazy ideas about the process and the location. But the emergence of genetic methods … has elevated the level of discourse.”

There are those, however, who argue that Wayne and his colleagues are barking up the wrong genetic tree.

Peter Savolainen, an associate professor of evolutionary genetics at Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology, said there was plenty of evidence that dogs were first domesticated in China, probably as a source of food.

Savolainen pointed out that Wayne and his colleagues published a paper in 2010 citing the Middle East as the origin of domestic dogs, a view they have now abandoned.

“They don’t comment on that in this paper and they should,” Savolainen said.

He also noted that the Science study lacked animal samples from the Middle East or China. “If you only have European samples, obviously you will find that Europe is the origin,” he said.

Wayne said he and his colleagues did not include samples from outside Europe because they were too recent, only about 7,000 or 8,000 years old. “That’s well after dogs were domesticated, so we’re kind of limited in that sense,” he said.

As for the turnabout on the Middle East hypothesis, Wayne said it was based on new genetic evidence and the realization that domesticated dogs interbred with local wolf populations, confusing the genetic signal.

“Initially, we didn’t appreciate how important that early admixture was,” he said.

The study authors said they hoped to confirm their findings with additional testing of genetic material from the nuclei of ancient cells. This type of DNA contains abundantly more information than DNA taken from mitochondria, tiny structures outside the nucleus that produce energy for the cell.

Two retired Santa Fe nurses, Sue MacMillan and Carla Muth, were among five women honored as “Legends of Nursing” at the 2013 New Mexico Nursing Excellence Awards Nov. 2 at the Hyatt Tamaya.

The event honored 22 nurses, five retired nurses, one nursing student and one individual.

MacMillan concluded a 36-year career in 2006 that included 25 years in higher education as a faculty member at Central New Mexico Community College and director at Santa Fe Community College. She also is an accomplished medical/surgical, public health, labor and delivery and school health nurse.

She earned her RN diploma at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia in 1970, later attending The University of New Mexico to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree in 1976 and a Master of Science Degree in Nursing Education with a minor in Public AdministraSue tion in 1990.

MacMillan MacMillan served as the third director of the SFCC Department of Nursing Education from 1988-2001.

She implemented an LPN-to-RN transition program, collaborated with other nursing educators through the state to define the roles of Licensed Practical Nurse, associate degree, baccalaureate degree, master’s degree and doctorate degree nursing education programs, Carla including standards of practice for Muth each educational level. She also created the SFCC nursing faculty manual and helped SFCC students score between 95 percent and 100 percent on the National Council Licensure Examination for nurses in New Mexico.

Described as a “visionary, trailblazer, entrepreneur and maverick,” Muth retired in 1992 after a career including positions as founder and director of Santa Fe Visiting Nurse Service, director of a health care management and marketing firm, consultant to home health agencies across the state and a position as Cabinet secretary of the Department of Health and Environment from 1987-1990.

Muth founded one of the first visiting nurse services in Santa Fe, created the first hospice service in New Mexico and developed hospital-based and independent home health agencies across the state.

She also collaborated with others to secure passage of a law allowing the use of county indigent funds for home health care clinics.

Muth was the first nurse to be appointed to a Cabinet secretary position and also served as deputy secretary of the New Mexico Department of Health.

An accomplished nurse lobbyist, she helped secure funding from the New Mexico Department of Higher Education to help pave the way for the New Mexico Nursing Student Loan Program and the New Mexico Nursing Diversion Program. Additionally, she helped protect the Nursing Practice Act to continue to advance the profession of nursing.

Scientists find black hole spewing iron, nickel in powerful jets Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Has a black hole mystery just been solved?

Writing in the journal Nature, a team of scientists said it found traces of nickel and iron in the powerful jets shooting out of black hole candidate 4U 1630-47, a small black hole just a few times the mass of our sun.

It may help solve a scientific puzzle that has lingered for decades.

Astronomers have known for years that hyperdense black holes shoot matter into the universe in high-speed streams known as relativistic jets. However, nobody knew exactly what type of material the jets were spewing.

“It was one of the unsolved questions about relativistic jets produced in the vicinity of black holes,” said Avi Loeb, chairman of the department of astronomy at Harvard University, who was not involved with the study. “What is their composition?”

Everyone was in agreement that the jets would contain electrons, which have a negative charge. But the jets did not have a negative charge overall. That suggested there was something else in there with a positive charge that canceled it out.

In addition, some models of the jets suggested they were shooting lightweight electrons and positrons away from the black hole and into the universe. Others thought the jets were made of much heavier normal matter.

“Until now, it wasn’t clear whether the positive charge came from positrons, the antimatter ‘opposite’ of electrons, or positively charged atoms,” study coauthor James Miller-Jones of the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research said in a statement.

“Since our results found nickel and iron in these jets, we now know that ordinary matter must be providing the positive charge.”

Because it takes a lot more energy to move normal matter than it would to move the lightweight electrons and positrons, the authors suggests that the high-speed jets are carrying more energy away from the black hole than was previously known.

Mom of fallen Ariz. firefighter files $36M claim

By Felicia Fonseca

The Associated Press

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The mother of one of 19 wildland firefighters killed in northcentral Arizona has filed a $36 million claim against the state, Yavapai County and the city of Prescott, saying their negligence led to the death of

her son.

An attorney for Marcia McKee wrote in the claim sent Friday that the three entities failed to follow proper firefighting procedures. McKee’s 21-year-old son, Grant, died in the Yarnell Hill Fire on June 30.

Marcia McKee is seeking $12 million apiece from the state, Yavapai County and

Prescott. But she said she’ll settle for $12 million within the next 60 days.

“The loss of his companionship, affection and love fully support the damages that she has requested in this notice of claim,” wrote her attorney, Craig Knapp.

An investigative report by a team of national experts released in September found

proper procedure was followed in the worst firefighting tragedy since Sept. 11, 2001. The report, however, found communications lapses, including a 33-minute gap in radio traffic from the Hotshot crew in the hour before the men died. It did not determine if the tragedy was avoidable.

Knapp called the report a

whitewash with a goal of avoiding blame. He said any “trusting, uninformed person reading the Yarnell Hill Fire report uncritically would think that the death of 19 men was just bad luck and no one’s fault, which is false.”

Spokesmen for Prescott and Gov. Jan Brewer declined comment Friday. Jack Fields, chief civil deputy Yavapai County

attorney, said the county is reviewing the claim and would make appropriate decisions once that’s done. He declined to comment further.

Grant McKee was training to be an emergency medical technician and had intended to work with the Granite Mountain Hotshots only for the summer. He was engaged to be married.

Officials to start Holiday Superblitz New Mexico law enforcement agents will be targeting drunken drivers, speeders and those who aren’t wearing their seat belts throughout the holiday season.

The state Transportation Department says the Holiday Superblitz begins Friday and will involve state, local and tribal lawenforcement officers.

Officials say the crackdown coincides with the holidays because drunken-driving crashes increase significantly during this time of year.

So far this year, 105 people have died in alcohol-related crashes. That’s more than 40 percent of all fatal crashes in the state during 2013.

The Holiday Superblitz is supported in part by state and federal funds awarded through the Transportation Department’s Traffic Safety Division.

City closes spot near dog park for testing The city of Santa Fe Parks Division has sectioned off an area of open space land in Torreon Arroyo, about a half-mile from the Frank Ortiz Dog Park. The city’s Environmental Services Division has taken soil samples from the site for further testing after a dog became ill and later died after consuming an unknown substance in the arroyo.

Results of the tests were not immediately available.

Authorities called to superintendent’s home ALBUQUERQUE — Embattled Albuquerque Public Schools Superintendent Winston Brooks was taken to the hospital this week following a domestic call to Bernalillo County sheriff’s officials.

According to recording of the call and a written report, Brooks called 911 to report his wife had broken a window. The couple could then be heard arguing. Brooks’ wife, Ann, told authorities her husband was on medication for diabetes and others conditions. She said when the medications are not balanced, he hallucinates

or becomes paranoid.

The call happened Wednesday night, the final day of Brooks’ three-day suspension for sending tweets that compared Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera to livestock.

Brooks issued a statement Friday saying this has been a stressful time for his family and he has been given a clean bill of health.

Man gets prison for robbing 2 banks ALBUQUERQUE — A Moriarty man has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for robbing two Albuquerque banks.

Prosecutors say 47-year-old Georges Marius Hyatt also was ordered Thursday to serve three years of supervised release after his prison term and pay restitution to the banks.

Hyatt was arrested soon after a New Mexico Federal Credit Union branch in Albuquerque was robbed on July 16, 2012.

He also was accused of robbing a Bank of the West branch in Albuquerque the following day.

Authorities say Hyatt was identified by a federal probation officer who saw photographs taken by the Credit Union’s surveillance cameras.

Hyatt pleaded guilty in March to the robberies along with possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

A presidential act of contrition P resident Barack Obama held a White House news conference this week that was as much an act of contrition as it was a press briefing.

Coming amid a virtual tsunami of criticism over the disastrous unfoldBill Stewart ing of his signature Understanding health Your World care act, his hourlong remarks were almost a meditation on the mistakes of his administration in setting in motion the Affordable Care Act. “I’m not a perfect president,” he said. “I’m not a perfect man.”

Later, he said, not once but several times, “We fumbled the rollout on this health care law.” Marcus Aurelius would have understood and nodded in approval.

The president looked drawn and tired, as well he might be. His poll numbers are way down, and for the first time a majority of those polled thought the president could not be trusted. That has to be bitter news for Obama, who prides himself on his transparency. Losing the moral high ground is not something this president is going to accept.

The main reason for the drop seems to be the perception that he wasn’t telling the truth when he promised Americans time and time again that they would not lose their present health insurance plan if they liked it. That turned out not to be true. Countless Americans in the past month have received notices from their insurance companies that their health care plans were being dropped at the end of the year because of the Affordable Health Care Act. In many cases this was because their cheap, lowgrade plans did not meet the

new standards set by “Obamacare,” as the health care act is popularly known. Many in this category are young people with few, if any, health care problems and so do not believe they need expensive, more far-reaching plans.

But, in order to work, the new health plan needs these young people because their low-risk category allows insurance companies to lower their rates across the board, thus making Obamacare both workable and cheaper in most cases.

But not in all cases. Some people, not necessarily young, have more expensive plans that insurance companies have decided they can no longer carry. The total of these policyholders is about 5 percent of those for whom Obamacare has been designed. Not big in percentages, but very big in numbers.

Many of these people have been unable to register with Obamacare, and with their plans dropping soon, they could be without health care of any kind by the end of the year. That’s scary. They have been writing their congressmen to protest, alarming congressional Democrats and delighting Republicans.

It is not true that when massive social and economic reforms are carried out, it is win-win for everybody. While the great majority may win, some will lose. That is the price of reform. And part of that price is political, which is why some Democrats have been demanding that Obama delay full implementation of health care reform and restore those dropped health care plans. Both sides are mindful that midterm polls are scheduled for November 2014. Few things concentrate the mind as much as an approaching election.

Thus, enter the president this week in a pensive and determined mood. He’s angry, his party is alarmed and clearly something has to be done. The president has decided on administrative, not legislative, remedial moves. He will ask insurance companies to allow individuals whose current plans have been canceled to renew them for a year. There is every indication that the insurance companies will comply.

The problem with the legislative approach is that the Republicans might try to insert unacceptable changes to Obamacare. Moreover, the

White House wants to limit the extension to one year to allow those applying for Obamacare to come on board once the official website is working the way it is supposed to work. Allowing an open-ended approach would indefinitely delay the young and healthy from applying, thus defunding Obamacare by default.

“I completely get how upsetting this can be for a lot of Americans, particularly after assurances they heard from me that if they had a plan that they liked they could keep it. And to those Americans, I hear you loud and clear. I said that I would do everything we can to fix this problem. And today I’m offering an idea that will to help to do it.”

The president was sincere and contrite. But his troubles are far from over. As a hint of things to come, he would not say that all the website problems would be solved by the end of November. Given the recent past, that was a safe thing to say.

MY VIEW: JOHN BUCHSER

Here’s governor’s real record

T

he story (“Governor’s bipartisan portrayal riles some state Democrats,” Nov. 10) focused on the Martinez administration’s lack of willingness to compromise with the Legislature, but by far this administration’s most partisan actions have been behind the scenes.

New Mexico has a long history of Republican governors crossing party lines to take care of the resources they know we need. I had hoped Susana Martinez would be one of them. But the increased influence of money in politics means Republicans who value clean air and water are an extinct breed.

It’s not just that the governor and her adviser, Jay McCleskey, are ignoring conservation. It’s that they are aggressively destroying protections already in place.

Gov. Martinez’s first act in office was to block air and water protections from being entered into New Mexico’s register of regulations. The state Supreme Court ruled her actions illegal, allowing the safeguards to go into effect.

But she and McCleskey found another way to revoke those protections.

The governor immediately fired every member of the Environmental Improvement Board and stacked it with industry-backed people. Soon the Water Quality Control Commission, and every other state board or commission, was similarly stacked. There is now no advocate for the environment on the Environmental Improvement Board and no advocate for clean water on the Water Quality Control Commission.

re jellyfish massing against humankind? Not really; it just seems that way. They may be sending us a message, though.

Enormous aggregations of the diaphanous sea creatures have been wreaking havoc from shore to shore: clogging water intake valves on seaside power plants, destroying fish farms, crowding fishing nets and, yes, stinging people (sometimes fatally). It’s nothing personal. Jellyfish, lacking brains, do not wish us harm. They’re merely going about their lives as they have for more than half a billion years: swimming, eating and reproducing, lately in mind-boggling numbers.

If anyone is to blame for recent destructive jellyfish “blooms,” as their regional population explosions are called, it is not them, but us. That’s because jellyfish can tolerate waters that are warm and polluted — conditions that human activity promotes. And as people have fished predators and competitors from their midst, jellyfish reign.

One question is whether we are witnessing an irreversible jellyfish takeover of the seas or just a natural waxing of the jellyfish population that will eventually wane. Scientists don’t know. But finding the answer is crucial to keeping the oceans safe for every sort of undersea life.

One reason for the mystery is that jellyfish, lacking skeletons or shells, leave little trace in the geologic record.

Another is that they have not been studied much; fishery biologists have long ignored jellyfish as a small nuisance.

One recent study of the existing scientific data found “no robust evidence for a global increase in jellyfish.” The researchers noted that populations oscillate in 20-year cycles, and an expansion that began during the 1990s is only making it seem as if jellyfish are taking over. Another study, which looked at not only recorded data but also anecdotal reports from experienced fishermen, found that jellyfish populations have increased beyond what natural cycles can explain.

Either way, it’s clear that at least in individual ecosystems, poor human stewardship of coastal waters has been giving jellyfish an edge. Consider, for example, the Black Sea, a repository for the sewage and agricultural runoff of 22 countries, where one species of comb jellyfish began taking over in 1982. The pollution had lowered the water’s oxygen level, giving the low-energy jellyfish an advantage over other creatures. And fishermen had taken out the tuna, sturgeon, mackerel and other species that either ate or competed for food with jellyfish.

At one point, the comb jellyfish achieved a mass of more than 1 billion tons — more than 10 times the weight of all the fish caught in the world each year. The population began to recede only after a different species of comb jellyfish arrived, via ballast water, and began eating the first kind.

In the Sea of Japan, there have been six blooms of gigantic Nomura jellyfish since 2002 — something that happened just three times in the 20th century. In Antarctica, melting sea ice is helping jellyfish thrive. In the Bering Sea, it’s overfishing. And so on. What can be done to keep jellyfish in check? Not a whole lot. South Korean robots that can chop up thousands of them an hour may be able to protect power plants, but even a single local population can include hundreds of millions of jellyfish, so the robots won’t make a huge difference. Nor can we eat our way out of the problem, as only a handful of species are palatable to humans.

The ways to deal with this excess of jellyfish are more indirect. More data about how jellyfish populations wax and wane, and move about, might make it possible for scientists to predict when coastal regions can expect problems. (The rest of us can help by reporting our observations, and stinging experiences, to jellywatch.org.)

The other response is to do all that stuff we should already be doing anyway: Stop polluting, overfishing and emitting so many of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

Motion picture group defends ratings system

By Jake Coyle

The Associated Press

NEW YORK nder increasing pressure over its threshold for violence in PG-13 films, the Motion Picture Association of America defended its often-criticized rating system on Wednesday.

A study by the Annenberg Public Policy Center and the Ohio State University recently published in the medical journal Pediatrics found that gun violence in the most popular PG-13 releases since 1985 has tripled in frequency. The number of scenes featuring gun violence in PG-13 films, the study found, has come to rival or even surpass the rate of such sequences in R-rated movies.

The association’s ratings board is no stranger to criticism, but the study — seemingly lending evidence to a long-held claim that the board is softer on violence than sexuality or language — has set off calls for reform.

In the MPAA’s first response to the study, Joan Graves, head of the MPAA’s ratings board, said that the MPAA is in line with parents’ standards.

“We try to get it right,” Graves said. “The criticism of our system is not coming from the parents, who are the people we’re doing this for.”

The association has five ratings classifications, from G to NC-17, but the continental divide is between PG-13 (in which parents are “strongly cautioned” that some material may be inappropriate for children under the age of 13) and R (in which children under 17 are required to be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian).

In between, battle lines are drawn over violence, language and sexual content — a fraught distinction because it determines what kids can see on their own, thus heavily influencing a film’s potential audience. Critics claim that the MPAA is far more permissive of violence in PG-13 films than fleeting nudity or a handful of expletives.

“It may be time to rethink how violence is treated in movie ratings,” said Dan Romer of the Annenberg Center.

But Graves claims PG-13 “is not a namby-pamby rating,” but intended as a strong warning to parents.

The MPAA frequently points out that it doesn’t police films but assigns warning labels for parents so they can make their own choices about what their children see. The ratings system is a voluntary one for theatrical released films that the movie industry founded in the 1960s to replace the far more restrictive Hays Code.

But the current ratings system has persistently drawn criticism for its perceived prudishness, while yielding more easily to the violence in big studio releases, such as Christopher Nolan’s PG-13 rated Dark Knight trilogy.

leveled claims of censorship at the MPAA ratings board.

On Wednesday, the MPAA granted the Weinstein Co.’s Philomena a PG-13 rating after initially giving it an R because of two expletives. Harvey Weinstein, who has frequently battled the ratings board, enlisted the film’s stars, Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, in a series of comedic online videos protesting the MPAA. “The MPAA’s stance on language often proves itself to be too black and white, not taking into account a film’s overall subject matter,” Weinstein Co. attorney Bert Fields said.

Graves said parents more frequently object to language or sex in movies and that “they feel they’re getting the correct information about the violence.”

But violence in film and video games has become an increasingly hot topic in the wake of numerous school shootings. Studies have shown conflicting results on whether watching violent movies has any effect on real-life violence.

In January, President Barack Obama called for further research on the connection between media and violence.

Graves said the association is aware of school shootings and other violence and the debate on the possible connection to violence in movies. She said the association is open to making adjustments.

“Certainly, it’s always under consideration. It’s not a static thing, ever,” she said.

The PG-13 rating began as a narrow in-between classification, introduced in 1984 following complaints of a heartyanking scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. But it has grown into Hollywood’s favorite rating.

Six of this year’s top 10 films are PG-13 rated, including the biggest box-office hit, Iron Man 3. Since the AnnenbergOhio State study focused on the top 30 films at the box office each year, it perhaps says as much about audience tastes as it does about Hollywood.

Graves said that effectsheavy films — particularly comic book films — have introduced a less realistic kind of violence that’s neither graphic nor brutal: “There are so many more ways of putting [violence] on the screen than there were two decades ago.”

“There is more violence,” said Graves, who allowed for the possibility that another ratings category could evolve.

Some have chosen to opt out of the MPAA’s guidelines.

When the sensual coming-ofage story Blue Is the Warmest Color, which features a lengthy lesbian lovemaking scene, opened in theaters last month, a handful of movie theaters, including New York’s IFC Center, chose to allow “highschool age patrons” despite the MPAA’s NC-17 rating.

The theaters felt a movie about teenagers deserved to be seen by teenagers.

swing from Roswell Goddard’s Mande Hudson. Her kill off the block of Hannah Hargrove gave the Lady Rockets a 25-16, 25-12, 25-23 win in the Class AAAA quarterfinals in the Santa Ana Star Center on Friday morning.

The loss ends Santa Fe High’s season at 19-6, but the ninth-seeded Demonettes held on to a belief they could keep their season going if they could get to a fourth game against the state’s No. 2 seed.

“Those last few points we just kept talking about, ‘Game 4, Game 4,’ ” said Hargrove, the Demonettes’ senior middle hitter. “It was disappointing to lose that.”

Disappointing because Santa Fe High finally found the rhythm it had been missing all morning. The offense moved quickly, and the defense started to dig the Lady Rockets’ hits.

It only took a 16-8 deficit in Game 3 for the Demonettes

Doing it better

Pojoaque Valley Elkettes sweep state’s second seed

By James Barron The New Mexican

RIO RANCHO he scoreboard never lies.

But it can deceive.

On one hand, it revealed what Eric Zamora and the Pojoaque Valley Elkettes always believed — they were better than the Portales Lady Rams on the volleyball court — as they swept the state’s second seed in the Class AAA State Tournament by a 25-19, 26-24, 25-10 count in the AAA semifinals in the Santa Ana Star Center on Friday night.

The Elkettes (19-4), the No. 3 seed, will play for their fifth straight AAA title at 11 a.m. on Saturday in a rematch of last year’s championship match, as No. 6 Ruidoso beat No. 7 Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory in the other semifinal. And it will offer one more team a chance for revenge against the team that no AAA team seems to beat when it matters.

When the Lady Warriors closed out their match about 5 minutes after Pojoaque did, all Zamora, the first-year head coach, said was “Bring it on.”

The Lady Rams tried, but the Elkettes were a little better at everything, be it hitting, passing or setting. That head coach Ruth Chavez could not dispute.

“They’re a good team, we’re a good team,” Chavez said. “It was a good battle. We’re real even, I think. I think we’re two teams that are real even, either way. It’s just that things bounced their way.”

That included what the scoreboard read.

The moment came at 13-10, Pojoaque, in Game 2. Elkettes Cheyenne Law appeared to come up with a block at the net, and the team in green celebrated. But the head referee called Law for a net violation and Pojoaque lost its serve. However, the scorekeeper gave Pojoaque the point to make it 14-10.

It took eight points before the Pojoaque High School’s Sofia Lucero, left, and Chenoah Ortiz block a spike from Portales High Portales bench noticed that the score didn’t change, as it read “16- School’s Kristen Wagner on Friday during the Class AAA State Volleyball Tournament at the Santa

Matt Kenseth wins pole at Homestead-Miami

By Jenna Fryer

The Associated Press

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Matt Kenseth and his Joe Gibbs Racing team took a huge step away from their bad performance last week by winning the pole Friday at HomesteadMiami Speedway for the championshipdeciding race.

Kenseth turned a lap at 177.667 mph in his Toyota to claim the top starting spot for Sunday’s race. He called it “a confidence booster” after his 23rd-place finish at Phoenix essentially ruined his title chances.

He was trailing Jimmie Johnson by seven points going into Phoenix and left the race down 28 with just one race to decide the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. But

the pole, his third of the season and 11th of his career, is a start toward a big rebound.

“I think more than morale, it’s probably a confidence booster,” Kenseth said. “The thing is, Jimmie is so far ahead, that even if he does have a problem we need to be in the front to be able to capitalize on that. This is a good start to that, hopefully get a bonus point right away, get the best pit stall. I think it’s important, we need to be up front and try to lead as much as we can and be in the mix at the end.”

Whether it’s enough remains to be seen.

Johnson, who needs only to finish 23rd or better Sunday to win his sixth championship, qualified seventh. He feels good about his situation.

to find the proper motivation. Kills from Hargrove and Monet Ortega started a quick three-point run to get the competitive fire stirring. It was still 19-13 when Santa Fe High finally caught a break at the net.

Goddard was called for a net violation, something the Demonettes had been called for about six times by that point.

Close game turns into rout as SFHS loses to Centennial

LAS CRUCES — For just the briefest of moments, it felt as if Santa Fe High’s football team was about to take the state playoffs by storm.

And then, slowly, that chance faded — as did the Demons’ hopes of one of the bigCentennial 36 gest upsets in the history of the Class AAAA postseason.

SFHS 2 Seeded 12th in the 12-team field, Santa Fe High had its season come to an end Friday night at the Field of Dreams, dropping a 36-2 decision to No. 5 Centennial in the opening round of the playoffs. The Hawks (9-2) move into next week’s quarterfinals against No. 4 Los Lunas while the Demons (4-7) head home after a second straight one-and-done trip to the playoffs.

“Part of the deal with games like this, for a program like this, is we have to learn to finish games,” said Santa Fe High head coach Ray Holladay. “We had our chances early on, chances that could have made a difference. We didn’t take advantage and it cost us.

If we’re going to move ahead, that’s what we have to learn to do.”

Although the final score suggests a blowout, the game was actually close until the third quarter. It was scoreless through the first quarter and the Demons

Chiefs-Broncos matchup not a simple affair

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s not in Alex Smith’s competitive nature to sit on the ball.

The quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs likes to run an up-tempo offense, wing the ball all over the field, tuck it under and scramble when things get hairy. But slow things down? Keep the other offense off the field? That’s a hard idea for him to accept.

It might be the Chiefs’ best shot at beating Denver on Sunday.

Martin ends silence, meets NFL counsel

By Rick Freeman

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jonathan Martin spent nearly seven hours going into “great detail” with the NFL counsel investigating his claims of his harassment in the Miami Dolphins’ locker room. What came up in their talks, he isn’t saying for now.

He would say this: He still wants to play in the NFL. Martin — in town because the league is trying to gather information about the bullying he says he was subjected to by teammate Richie Incognito — arrived at the Manhattan office building of special investigator Ted Wells on Friday morning, and didn’t emerge until shortly after sunset. Mobbed by media, he stood in the camera lights and read a statement.

“Although I went into great detail with Mr. Ted Wells and

his team, I do not intend to discuss this matter publicly at this time,” Martin said. “This is the right way to handle the Jonathan situation.

Martin “Beyond that, I look forward to working through the process and resuming my career in the National Football League.”

After that, he and attorney David Cornwell went back into the building, later leaving via a side exit.

The crowd outside the building drew attention from office workers and tourists all day.

Some even stopped to watch and wait, and most seemed familiar with Martin’s story.

Even Miami-based hip-hop artist Rick Ross came by. His

record label is located in the building across the street.

Incognito has acknowledged leaving a voicemail for Martin in April in which he used a racial slur, threatened to kill his teammate and threatened to slap Martin’s mother. Incognito has said he regrets the racist and profane language, but said it stemmed from a culture of locker room “brotherhood,” not bullying.

Incognito is white and Martin is black. Teammates, both black and white, have said Incognito is not a racist, and they’ve been more supportive of the veteran guard than they have of Martin.

Incognito has been suspended by the Dolphins. He filed a grievance Thursday against the team over his suspension, and has said his conduct was part of the normal locker-room environment.

Dolphins owner Stephen

Ross also plans to meet with Martin, who said Friday that he will indeed get together with the Dolphins’ front office. On Monday, Ross said two committees would examine the locker room culture. Players have been virtually unanimous in saying it doesn’t need to be changed.

At Dolphins practice Friday, long snapper John Denney, the team’s players’ union representative, was asked about problems.

“I can’t say I saw it firsthand because I’m not an offensive lineman, and I’m not in their offensive line room. I can tell you from my perspective, and having been in this locker room, I never saw it coming,” he said. “I can say that. It was a surprise to me. There did not seem to be an increase in behavioral problems. It’s been the same here my entire career.”

Broncos: Chiefs must keep control of ball Continued from Page B-1 when they’re off the field could prove just as critical to the outcome.

After all, the Broncos (8-1) can’t win if they can’t score, and they can’t score if Manning and his trusty lieutenants are standing on the sideline.

“I’ve heard that strategy before, keepaway, but that’s certainly not something we’re even talking about or focusing on at all,” Smith said. “We have to go out there and execute. I think if you go out there and play keep-away, it’s hard for good things to happen.”

Then again, it’s easy to keep bad things from happening, too.

Smith has earned a reputation for being a “game manager,” and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. He may not throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns like Manning, but he’s also not prone to interceptions and fumbles — the kind of egregious mistakes that can cost a team a win.

That’s the biggest reason why he’s 28-5-1 as a starter since 2011, second to Manning (21-4) among active quarterbacks who have made at least 20 starts over the

past three seasons.

“He’s done a nice job of landing on his feet there,” said Broncos defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio, who is also serving as interim coach while John Fox is recovering from heart surgery.

“We’re getting ourselves prepared for him,” Del Rio said. “He can throw it, he can run it. He can do a lot of different things.

He brings a lot of different elements.”

Even if he’s unwilling to admit it, one of Smith’s best attributes is simply keeping the Chiefs’ offense on the field. They are fifth in the NFL in time of possession — despite ranking in the bottom half in most other categories — a big reason why their defense is so successful. They get to spend most of Sunday watching from the sideline.

Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson acknowledged Thursday that the Chiefs (9-0) prefer to grind games away.

The fact that running back Jamaal Charles leads the AFC in rushing not only is a testament to that fact, but underlies the reasons for it.

Might as well lean on your best player, right?

As much as Smith might dislike it, though, Pederson also admitted that the Chiefs have a better chance of beating the Broncos if they can maintain control of the ball. Denver is averaging an absurd 487.7 yards and 41.2 points per game, both easily the best in the NFL. “You know what’s on the other side of the ball,” Pederson said, “and any time you have guys like Peyton, or Tom Brady, that can score, you know you have to execute your offense.

“You can’t really worry about, ‘We have to keep the ball for x-amount of minutes or x-amount of plays,’ ” Pederson added, “because you still have to score. But it comes down to execution.”

The Chiefs haven’t necessarily executed well the past few weeks, and the Denver defense has shown a propensity for giving them up, too.

The Broncos are among the league’s bottom third in total yards, passing yards, points — really, just about every significant statistic. Part of that is the effectiveness of their offense, which often puts the defense back on the field quickly, but part of it is futility.

Rout: SFHS kept Hawks to 91 passing yards Continued from Page B-1 actually took the lead on a safety in the second period when the Centennial punter had a long snap sail over his head and into the end zone.

It remained 2-0 until Hawks kicker Matt Alvarez converted a 25-yard field goal with 5 minutes, 5 seconds left in the first half to give the Hawks a lead they would not relinquish.

“You know, Santa Fe’s not a bad team at all,” said Centennial head coach Aaron Ocampo. “I watched film on them and they’re big up front and their defense does a great job with all the blitz packages the throw at you. Then during pregame they get off the bus and get on the field and their big guys look even bigger. I don’t think anyone should be surprised they hung with it for so long.”

The Hawks led 9-2 at halftime, then turned on the afterburners in the third quarter by scoring twice in the span of five plays to open a 22-2 margin. Sandwiched in there was a Robert Corriz fumble, one of two turnovers the Demons had during the game.

Although it wasn’t technically a turnover, the game’s biggest miscue occurred in the early stages of the first quarter when Centennial’s defense staged a goal line

stand and stuffed Demons running back Rayes Montano on consecutive dive plays from inside the 1-yard line.

Holladay thought Corriz had reached the end zone two plays earlier when his quarterback keeper off tackle to the right side ended with his upper body laying across the goal line. Officials ruled him down at the 1, negating what looked to be a touchdown to open the scoring.

The Demons had 56 yards offense on that drive. They managed just 31 more for the entire game. They had as many penalty yards (8 for 82) as they did total offense (51 rushing, 31 passing).

Corriz completed six passes; all but one of them went for five or fewer yards. He was also sacked twice and had minus-15 yards in the rushing department.

As the second half dragged on, Centennial methodically pulled away. Running back Joe Rowe had two touchdown run while Quevin Redding had one rushing and another receiving. The final tally came from seldom-used freshman Jaylon Boston, the grandson of New Mexico State University athletic director McKinley Boston.

Redding had been the team’s starting quarterback for most of the season but aggravated a rotator cuff injury in his throwing shoulder in a nondistrict loss at St. Michael’s last month. The lack of a

passing game saw the Hawks run 55 rushing plays and just 14 passes.

They passed for 91 yards, a season-low for a Santa Fe High opponent.

Centennial running back Daniel Conklin rushed for 108 yards while Rowe had 89 and Redding 61. Santa Fe High was led

by Montano’s 56 yards on the ground.

“What we’ll do is head home and relax for a couple weeks, then come back out the Monday after Thanksgiving and start getting ready for next year,” Holladay said.

“It’s a process and this team is learning what it takes. This was our fourth year. At times it feels like a long — really long — four years. It’s getting better and there’s progress, but we’re still working.”

Immediately after the game, Holladay and his son, Mario, shared a long embrace near midfield. One of several key senior leaders on this year’s team, Mario Holladay was left lying on the turf for several minutes after taking a hard hit late after making a spectacular one-handed reception late in the third quarter.

“That was probably the hardest thing I’ve had to do; run out there and check on him,” Ray Holladay said. “The only thing I said getting out there was ‘Just get up, just get up.’ It’s hard ending it like this with him. This is the last game my son will be a part of this team. It’s a hard loss.”

Jack has 4 TDs, leads No. 13 UCLA past Wash.

By Greg Beacham

The Associated Press

PASADENA, Calif. — Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. 13 UCLA stayed in control of its destiny in the Pac-12 South race with a 41-31 victory over Washington on Friday night.

Devin Lucien turned a short pass into a 40-yard TD with 9:57 to play, and the Bruins (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12) got creative to hold off a lively challenge from the Huskies (6-4, 3-4), who lost starting quarterback Keith Price to a shoulder injury right before halftime.

Jack followed up his 120-yard debut at running back last week by becoming the 13th player in UCLA history to score four touchdowns.

Cyler Miles passed for 149 yards after replacing Price, but the Huskies have lost

nine of their last 12 Pac-12 road games.

Damore’ea Stringfellow, Jaydon Mickens and Austin Seferian-Jenkins caught TD passes for Washington, which hasn’t beaten UCLA at the Rose Bowl since 1995.

For the second straight week, Bruins offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone dipped into the defense’s roster to win an exhilarating meeting of two bowl-bound teams with prolific offenses.

Jack, the Bruins’ remarkable freshman from a Seattle suburb, finished with the most rushing TDs since Maurice JonesDrew set the school record with five scores in 2004. Jack and the hulking Marsh scored the Bruins’ first five touchdowns as UCLA stayed right behind division leader Arizona State, which visits Pasadena next weekend.

UCLA coach Jim Mora had been coy about whether Jack would even play offense again, but the freshman jumped in during the Bruins’ opening series, rushing for an 8-yard score on his first carry. Used mostly as a short-yardage back, he added two more scores in the first half and finished with 60 yards on 12 carries.

Hagerman, which entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed, ran away with a 25-21, 25-18, 25-23 victory in a battle of Lady Bobcats teams to advance to the semifinals.

“Hagerman is a good team,” McCurdy coach Anita Rodriguez said. “They have tough serves, they’re very scrappy, just good hitters.

“On our part we had some breakdowns there and then we kind of lost our composure there. They’d get ahead of us and we’d spend most of our time playing catch-up which you can’t do that here.”

McCurdy (17-6) raced out to an 8-1 lead in the third game, only to see Hagerman (18-3) storm back and eventually win out. McCurdy hit the final point into their own net.

“Overall, I think the girls played well,” Rodriguez said.

“I think the girls fought. I had to put in some new girls that hadn’t really played too much.

But they stepped it up.”

As a team, McCurdy had to regroup midway through the second game when one of its

best players went down.

Trailing 16-12, McCurdy saw senior co-captain Miah

Martinez suddenly go down chasing a ball. Martinez suffered a serious left knee

injury and had to be carried off the court.

“I thought the girls stepped it up” after Martinez’s injury, Rodriguez said. “They got a good lead on Hagerman [in the third game] and I wish they would have kept it. I felt like the girls kept fighting.”

Rodriguez said there was some wear and tear on McCurdy from its grueling first-round match with Animas, an 18-25, 25-14, 25-19, 15-25, 15-11 victory on Thursday night.

“I think that kind of had an effect on us, but, more than anything, I thought it was more of those little moments where we lost our composure a little bit,” Rodriguez said.

McCurdy will lose six seniors from this season’s squad, including Martinez, Jamie Archuleta, Jaclyn Archuleta, Alannah Sanchez, Eliana Griego and Heather Trujillo.

“I just want to talk about my senior group that I’ve had, they’ve been with me for four years,” Rodriguez said. “Just a good group of girls. Hard workers.”

McCurdy will return six players next season, including three seniors-to-be in Tanisha Velasquez, Patricia Loera and Lynette Torres.

CLASS B STATE VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT

Santa Fe Waldorf loses, but vows to return

By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican

RIO RANCHO — The Santa Fe Waldorf Lady Wolves are not upset about losing in the quarterfinals of the Class B State Volleyball Tournament.

The reason? They’ll be back next year.

The No. 4 Lady Wolves fell to the No. 2 Carrizozo Lady Grizzlies 25-14, 22-25, 25-22, 25-12 at Cleveland High School on Friday and were sent home to start thinking about next season.

Fortunately for Santa Fe Waldorf, there were no seniors on this year’s team, meaning that it can potentially return every player. With that in mind, the Lady Wolves (18-4 overall) expect even better results next season.

“I hope next year we get to go to the [Santa Ana] Star Center and play in the championship,” Santa Fe Waldorf junior captain Keifer Nace said. “We’ll be one year older and one year more mature, so we’ll be able to go further next year.”

A return to the state tournament might mean the Lady Wolves might see Carrizozo (21-1) again, but they’d rather not this soon in the tournament.

Santa Fe Waldorf split with Mosquero in their first pool-play match and then went on to get swept by Albuquerque Evangel Christian and defending champion Elida. Those losses set the Lady Wolves up with the highly ranked Lady Grizzlies.

Walfdorf knows that if it would have done better in pool play, it might still be playing.

“We would have played someone lower, and I think we would have had a chance,” Santa Fe Waldorf head coach Josie Adams said.

“I think if we did better in our pool play, we would have done better today,” Nace added.

Unlike pool play, this match was win or go home, and the Lady Wolves were held to only 14 points in the first game, but the Game 2 was a different story.

Santa Fe Waldorf junior Alex Chastenet scored six straight service points to give the Lady Wolves a 15-14 lead before they went on to win it 25-22.

At that point, the Lady Wolves thought they might play in the semifinals despite the poor pool-play performance.

“We were all near tears,” Santa Fe Wal-

dorf junior Cecelia Barnard said.

But that excitement was short-lived as the Lady Wolves dropped the next two games. After a close third game, Carrizozo jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the fourth game and ended it on a 10-3 run.

“Whoever comes out and gets the run on you is going to take the game,” Adams said. “They came out and took those first 10 points from us, and its hard to come back on a team that is tough like they are.”

The Lady Grizzlies did more than just take an early lead in the fourth game, they also took away the emotion that Santa Fe Waldorf had after the second game.

“I think when they started to get further and further ahead, it was hard for us to believe at that point,” Barnard said.

While the Lady Wolves may have lost their belief, the did not lose any spots on the roster and will be returning four seniors, including captains Nace and Barnard.

Even though the next state tournament is a long ways away, the Lady Wolves already sent their RSVP. “We’ll be back,” Adams said.

SFHS: Onto 6A next year

LUIS SÁNCHEZ SATURNO THE NEW MEXICAN

Better: Tough day Continued from Page B-1 16” at that point. It caught the ire of Portales athletic director Mark Gallegos, who walked to the scorer’s table to complain about the score. Nothing was changed, however, and the score remained.

Zamora sent his assistant, Ricky DeHerrera, to the table to confer with the officials.

“When the scorer’s table had the exact same score that we did, I don’t know if that score existed,” Zamora said.

Chavez, though, felt differently about the matter.

“That point cost us the game,” Chavez said.

It turned out that way because the Lady Rams battled back to take a 23-22 lead on Kaycee Leary’s kill, although Portales had it 24-21 in its book.

That made things all the more frustrating when Kristen Wagner hammered home a kill for 24-22, although it could have been for the game.

It was at that point, though, that Pojoaque showed its championship mettle.

Kristen Woody came up with a kill. Then Sofia Lucero served up an ace to it at 24-all. The pivotal point came next, as a long rally finally ended with Woody finding the middle of the back row open for 25-24, Elkettes.

She capped the four-point run with another kill and the Elkettes had precious momentum, even if some hearts raced faster than others.

“I’m not going to lie, it was a little scary,” Lucero said.

“Whenever we talk to each other, we just sit down, come together, and get the point.”

Lucero gets a lot of points now, more so than she did as a setter last year. She went from a setter that seemed to say, “Here it is” to her hitters, to one that saw and understood the game like the best setters in the state should. That was evident in two key points in the opening two games.

With Portales stalking at 20-19 in Game 1, Lucero saw an inattentive defender and dumped the ball that the Lady

Rams couldn’t return for 21-19.

In Game 2, she dumped the ball to Karimah Hulett, who had it glance off her body for a 16-12 lead.

“That’s exactly what I wouldn’t have picked up last year,” Lucero said. “It’s understandable that your hitters are not always going to be ready, and you have to learn as setters to know who’s ready, who’s big out there and what the other team is doing.”

It’s that ability to read situations that has turned Lucero into one of the better setters in AAA, which in turn makes the Elkettes that much tougher to figure out.

“Sofia is a good setter in her own right,” Zamora said. “But she was not running an offense.

She would just throw the ball up there and let our athletes go chase it. You have to run an offense. The defense on the other side is going to dictate what you do.”

It completed a difficult day for the Elkettes, who find their ties to West Las Vegas as binding as the Lady Dons’ were to each other. Even as Pojoaque ended any hopes of a storybook ending with a sweep of the No. 5 Lady Dons in the quarterfinals earlier in the day, the Elkettes reached out to their sisters in arms.

That’s because Elkettes assistant Mark Loera is the cousin of the late Mary Bustos, who died on Wednesday from complications of the disease amyloidosis before the West Las Vegas head coach could take her team to the state tournament. And Sofia Lucero is dating D.J. Bustos, Mary’s youngest son and was on the bench against Pojoaque.

“Playing them in the quarters was really tough,” Lucero said as she choked back tears. “Us as a team,we got close to West and she was a role model to us, too.

It is so heartbreaking to play them, but we want to keep the state title in the district.”

On Saturday, Lucero and the Elkettes get to do that.

The scoreboard can’t lie about that.

Española sees ‘no shame’ in loss

By Glen Rosales

For The New Mexican

Continued from Page B-1 In fact, Hargrove threw her hands up in frustration because she thought the call was on her.

It was a point of contention for some of the Demonettes hitters.

“It definitely took some of our intensity away,” Ortega said. “But I think we did a good job at keeping it up. Calls are calls, and I think we stayed strong.”

Santa Fe High went on a fivepoint run, with junior Kayla Herrera coming up with two kills and Goddard making some uncharacteristic mistakes.

“When [the Lady Rockets] got it to 16, I told them, ‘Look, they’re celebrating already,’ ” Santa Fe High head coach Sam Estrada said.

“I think they thought it was over.”

Herrera’s second kill got the deficit to 20-17 before Goddard regrouped and used a Kaitlyn Quintana ace and a lift call on Demonettes junior Andrea Gonzales to fashion a 24-20 lead.

A pair of Lady Rockets passing errors and an Ortega kill brought the margin to 24-23 before Goddard escaped with the sweep.

But the Lady Rockets were superior to the Demonettes in many aspects. Their defense picked up many of Santa Fe High’s hits, and it matched that with firepower at the net.

Megan Meeks had 8 kills, while

Renee Garcia added seven. Shaylee Griffin had only five kills, but she added four blocks.

“When a team on the other side is relentless,” Estrada said, “and keeps coming back at you with tough hits and not just chip shots, it wears at you. I think that’s what got us down until their backs were really against the wall.”

Estrada was impressed with the Lady Rockets’ ability to hit from the back row, which caused his own back row some problems in reacting to their swings.

“They’re very savvy,” Estrada said. “They knew what to do with every missed pass, and every ball they passed off at the 10 foot line, they got good swings.”

This served as the swan song for Santa Fe High at the Class AAAA level. The school will move to AAAAAA next year, which will provide the Demonettes with a new challenge — to compete at the state’s highest level.

Outgoing senior setter Shannon Bates believes the team will continue its ascension in the new class. The team only loses four seniors from a team that won the District 2AAAA Tournament.

“I know they are going to work hard next season, and there isn’t any question they can come back [to the state tournament].”

If only they could have come back for one more game.

RIO RANCHO — A rough start and a bitter ending contributed to Española Valley’s elimination Thursday from the Class AAAA State Volleyball Tournament.

The Lady Sundevils (156) lost 25-15, 25-32, 25-23 to top-seed Piedra Vista, letting a 16-9 lead slip away in the final set.

“They’re a very good volleyball team and they make a lot of good volleyball plays,“ Española coach Damon Salazar said. “I would have loved to beat this team and I still think we could. They’re a very good team. There’s no shame in losing to PV.” It took the Lady Sundevils a bit to get rolling as they fell behind 18-10 in the first game.

“We weren’t winning the volleyball plays that first game,” Salazar said. “We were kind of stuck on our heels a little bit.”

The Lady Sundevils also struggled on the serve, committing six service errors to hand the Lady Panthers too many easy points.

“That killed us,” Salazar said. “If that’s going to happen, you’re not going to win a game. I think that was difference in that game.”

But the final two games were nail-biting affairs that both went right down to the final hit.

“The next two games, they were anybody’s game to take,” Salazar said. “They’re a very tough team, tough minded. They played a lot of close games and they were just winning those points at the end that we weren’t. We had a couple of things that didn’t go our way. At the end of the game, when things don’t go your way, it’s hard.”

Game 2 was back and forth, with the Lady Panthers (20-2) taking an early 11-7 led before the Lady Sundevils battled back to take a 17-16 by chipping away with good service breaks and strong play from outside hitter Elana Salazar.

Española extended its advantage to 21-18 after a kill from Salazar and a block from Kaitlyn Romero, but Piedra Vista closed out the match with a 7-2 run behind a string of kills from Haliegh Lovato.

In the finale, the Sundevils got up big, but couldn’t put the Panthers away.

“We just let it slip away,” Elana Salazar said. “We just let it go. They’re a good team. I’m not taking anything away from them because they are good team, but we shouldn’t have gone down like that.”

Española just hasn’t been in enough big matches like that, coach Salazar said.

“When you don’t hit at the end of the game, you

give them a chance to run offense and I think at those moments, when you don’t make those things happen, you tend to lose those points,” he said. “That was the difference. We were aggressive. But a couple of key times, we weren’t as aggressive as we needed to be and I think that’s kind of what’s hurt us.”

Elana Salazar finished with 21 kills in the match and said she knew she needed to play strong throughout the tournament.

“I knew I needed to play my best game,” she said.

“For the past few days, I’ve known I’ve needed to play my best game because these are the games that really matter. I honestly went out there and just kept swinging and swinging. I didn’t care where the ball was, I was just swinging because that’s the way to do it. At the end of the game, you just need to swing because it comes down to that.”

Lady Panthers coach Ron Becker said he was happy to escape with the win.

“Española is a super tough team,” he said. “They’re really sound defensively.

They’re a lot like us, neither one of us are big teams so it’s a pretty good match up.

Española is so consistent.

They make very few mistakes so they’re a tough team to play.”

Pacers improve to 9-0 in rout of Milwaukee The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Roy Hibbert scored 24 points and had eight blocks, both season-highs, leading Pacers 104 unbeaten Indiana past Bucks 77 Milwaukee 104-77 Friday night.

The Pacers became the first team since the 2002-03 Dallas Mavericks to open a season 9-0.

Indiana has already beaten all four of its Central Division foes and will attempt to stay perfect Saturday night at Chicago.

Hibbert had plenty of help.

Paul George scored 10 of his 22 points in the third quarter, and Lance Stephenson finished with 11 points.

HEAT 110, MAVERICKS 104 In Miami, LeBron James scored 39 points, Dwyane Wade had 17 points, eight assists and a career-best eight steals, and the Heat held off Dallas.

James made 14 of 18 shots for Miami (6-3), while Chris Bosh scored 14 points. Norris Cole and Rashard Lewis each added 11 for the Heat, which has topped the 100-point mark in every game this season.

Wade became the second player in Miami history with at least eight steals and eight assists in a game; Tim Hardaway did it against Atlanta on Dec. 20, 1997.

BULLS 96, RAPTORS 80 In Toronto, Luol Deng had 19 points, Joakim Noah scored 18, and Chicago overcame the absence of Derrick Rose to beat Toronto for its first road win of the season.

Deng and Noah also had nine rebounds apiece as the Bulls earned their third consecutive win. Kirk Hinrich started in place of Rose and scored 12 points, helping Chicago improve to 1-3 on the road.

Rose, the 2011 NBA MVP, was sidelined by the right hamstring injury that knocked him out in the fourth quarter of Monday’s home win over Cleveland. He will be re-evaluated before the Bulls host undefeated Indiana on Saturday.

TRAIL BLAZERS 109, CELTICS 96 In Boston, LaMarcus Aldridge scored 27 points and added 12 rebounds to lead Portland to its first victory in Boston since 2004.

Mo Williams scored 18 with eight assists for the Trail Blazers, which earned its fifth consecutive victory.

Jared Sullinger, who missed the last game with a bruised knee, had 26 points and eight rebounds off the bench for Boston, which has lost two in a row.

BOBCATS 86, CAVALIERS 80 In Cleveland, Michael KiddGilchrist scored 16 points, and Charlotte used a strong fourth quarter to defeat Cleveland and win for only the second time in 16 games at Quicken Loans Arena.

The Bobcats outscored the Cavaliers 29-22 in the final period, when Kidd-Gilchrist had eight points, including a threepoint play that gave Charlotte an 81-70 lead with 6:08 remaining.

Ramon Sessions and Kemba Walker hit 3-pointers, and Cody Zeller added a three-point play to spark the Bobcats’ run. Charlotte had five players score in double figures.

Kyrie Irving, wearing a mask to protect a nasal fracture, had 18 points and 10 assists for Cleveland, which lost for the first time in four games at home.

NUGGETS 117, TIMBERWOVLES 113 In Denver, Wilson Chandler scored 19 points, including a big 3-pointer and three free throws late in the game, and the Nuggets held off Minnesota for their

third straight win.

Kenneth Faried added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Denver, and Ty Lawson had 14 points and 10 assists. Lawson then left with 32 seconds remaining when Corey Brewer inadvertently hit him in the eye with his hand as he was defending the guard on a drive into the lane.

Kevin Love led the Timberwolves with 28 points and Kevin Martin, who missed Wednesday’s game against Cleveland because of the illness, added 27 points.

HAWKS 113, 76ERS 103 In Atlanta, Jeff Teague had a career-high 33 points and 10 assists, Al Horford added 20 points, and Atlanta beat Philadelphia for its third win in four games.

Evan Turner scored 27 points, Tony Wroten had 22 points, and Spencer Hawes finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Sixers, who have lost three of four.

SPURS 91, JAZZ 82 In Salt Lake City, Tony Parker scored 14 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to rally San Antonio to a win.

Boris Diaw scored a seasonhigh 17 points and Tim Duncan added 14 to help the Spurs run their winning streak to seven in a game that matched the team with the best record in the Western Conference against the team with worst mark in the league.

NETS 100, SUNS 98 (OT) In Phoenix, Joe Johnson stole a pass and dropped in a short jumper as time expired in overtime, giving the Nets the win.

Johnson had tied the game at the end of regulation on a short floater with 30 seconds left. He finished with 13 points on 6-of19 shooting as the Nets picked up their first road win of the season.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — In the six years Dario Franchitti had been driving for Chip Ganassi, he had only phoned his boss once from his home in Scotland.

When Ganassi got a call this week, and heard the tone in Franchitti’s voice, he knew something was off.

“The first thing out of my mouth was, ‘What’s wrong?’ ” Ganassi said Friday.

Franchitti was calling to deliver difficult news: Doctors had told him it was too dangerous to continue racing because of injuries he sustained in an Oct. 6 crash at Houston when his car sailed into a fence. The three-time Indianapolis 500 winner fractured his spine, broke his ankle and suffered a concussion that day.

The threat of another concussion put Franchitti at too great a risk to continue racing, Ganassi said. Franchitti reluctantly announced his retirement Thursday.

“He was certainly heartbroken,” Ganassi said. “He’s a bit of a realist about it, too. I went through all the obvious questions. He said, ‘Look, I don’t want to go forward. I’d never want to go forward and risk hurting somebody else or risk further injury, much less hurt somebody else.’ He wouldn’t dare risk giving a black eye to the sport or something by trying some sort of end around.

That was out of the question.

He respects professionals.”

Franchitti had two surgeries on his broken ankle, one in Houston and one in Indianapolis, before traveling in the last two weeks to Miami to see IndyCar consultant Dr. Steve Olvey.

The 40-year-old Franchitti then returned home to Scotland to continue his recovery.

He was in Scotland when he was advised to stop. Olvey, the associate professor of Clinical Neurology/Neurosurgery at the University of MiamiMiller School of Medicine, told RACER.com that Franchitti has suffered three concussions since 2002 and that the one at Houston “was a big one, a significant concussion.

“He’s got a higher risk for future concussions with less energy involved in a crash,” Olvey told RACER. “And, as

we’ve seen in pro football, repeated concussions can lead to early dementia, so he’s got to think of his future. It’s just too great a risk to take.”

Ganassi said Franchitti will heal.

“Medically he has been told he’ll make a 100 percent recovery, we’ve been told that from day one,” Ganassi said. “These are all injuries that are recoverable. I don’t want anybody thinking he’s maimed for life.”

But he won’t be in the No. 10 Target car again, and Ganassi is now searching for a driver.

He said he will field four cars next year, but isn’t sure if moving defending Indianapolis 500 winner Tony Kanaan into Franchitti’s car is an option; Kanaan was signed last month with different sponsors.

Kenseth: Johnson must finish 23rd or better to win 6th title Continued from Page B-1 “It’s a great position to be in, there’s no doubt about it,” Johnson said. “It’s nice, but it doesn’t guarantee anything. I have to run all 400 miles on Sunday and that’s really the goal for this Lowe’s car.”

Kevin Harvick is the only other driver mathematically eligible to win the title and goes into the race 34 points behind Johnson. He qualified

one spot ahead of Johnson in sixth after internalizing too long about how to make his qualifying run.

“I argued with myself for an hour or two there, before that qualifying session, as to where I was going to run,” Harvick said. “I thought I needed to run the bottom in [turns] three and four. All-in-all it was a good lap.”

Kurt Busch qualified second

to earn his ninth front row starting position of the season and Joey Logano was third.

Brad Keselowski will start fourth in his final race as defending Sprint Cup champion and was followed by Denny Hamlin.

Martin Truex Jr. will start eighth in his final race with Michael Waltrip Racing, while Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Elliott Sadler rounded out the top 10.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might think that a suggestion is a great idea, but when you see the financial implications, you might decide to pull out.

Tonight: Go with a different suggestion.

Relatives allow their kids to run amok Dear Annie: Last weekend, my husband and I invited a few relatives over for a cookout. There were three children under the age of 4. When it began to rain, we moved the party indoors. The parents let their kids run amok, and in a few short hours, the children completely trashed the first floor of our house.

My husband and I do not have children, though I understand that kids will be kids. But it’s the parents’ responsibility to watch their children.

Bouncing on our couch, climbing on the coffee tables, spilling food in every room and throwing picture frames show a lack of respect, as well as ignorance of appropriate behavior.

This was the first time we’d invited the relatives over, and we had spent the entire morning cleaning our place to make it welcoming. I don’t understand how anyone can allow their kids to destroy a nice, clean house. I couldn’t wait for them to leave. My husband and I spent the next several hours cleaning up.

We are furious with them for allowing this to happen and will not invite them a second time. I wonder whether they allow this type of behavior in their own home.

What’s the best way to handle this in the future? — Upset and Exploited in Illinois Dear Upset: Those parents abdicated their responsibility. When parents refuse to discipline their children in your home, you are permitted to do so. It’s OK to tell them they absolutely cannot bounce on the couch, climb on the tables or throw things. Remind the parents to keep an eye on their kids. If your home is large enough, set aside an area that includes toys for them to play with or a movie to watch. If they still cannot settle down, suggest to the parents that they “might want to go home since the kids are so restless.”

Dear Annie: My parents were blessed with five children. All of us

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Sometimes spending a Saturday doing errands — getting your hair cut and squeezing in some exercise — constitutes a nearly perfect day. Tonight: Avoid complications.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH The back-and-forth between a loved one’s desires and yours continues. There is a way — you just have not found it yet.

Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You might be too concerned with what people would think if you did what you wanted to do. Instead of worrying, live your life for you. Tonight: Staying close to home could be very appealing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You seem to have the right words to appeal to someone in your immediate environment. News from a distance could be a bit difficult and disappointing.

Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people.

Hocus Focus

My parents gave us everything we wanted in life. But as the oldest, I worked, cleaned and took care of my younger siblings from the time I was 14. Before Mom died, she told me she would give me a “little something extra” because I was short-changed growing up, and she left me a small insurance policy.

Isn’t it the responsibility of all the children to pay for the funeral? Since the service, I have not heard from any of my siblings. If they aren’t going to offer to pay for some of the funeral expenses, at least I deserve a “thank you” for handling it, don’t I? — Hurt and Taken Advantage Of Dear Hurt: Do your siblings know that you received this insurance policy? No matter how justified, they may believe it meant Mom favored you, and it could create ill will for decades. Please nip this in the bud. Call your siblings. Explain the situation. Let them know their share of the funeral expenses and ask whether they can reimburse you.

But also tell them you love and miss them.

Dear Annie: Like “Not So Home Sweet Home,” I was once a 20-yearold who was uncomfortable around my stepfather. But I figured I would soon be out of the house. How I wish I had confronted him and told my mother. He later molested my young daughter when she was at my mom’s house. My daughter is now 34 and has suffered greatly from what happened to her as a child. She had been told to keep the “special secret” between her and Grandpa. Grandpa was dead before this came to light, so the confrontation never took place. Trust your feelings. Speak out.

Chess quiz

have been successful. Dad died 15 years ago, and Mom died last year.

Most of Mom’s funeral was paid for, but there was still a small balance, which I paid out of my own pocket.
