August boom pushes city past prerecession levels for first time

Share your memories.

Tell us where you were or what you remember from the day Kennedy died.

By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

Buoyed by August retail sales and construction, gross receipts tax revenues in the city have topped prerecession levels for the first time.

While it might be tempting, don’t shout out, “The recession is over!” to Santa Fe City Councilor Carmichael Dominguez.

“We are up $2.5 million from this time last year, but it’s so volatile, we don’t know what the long term is going to look like,” said Dominguez, who chairs the city Finance Committee. “It’s way too early to make any kinds of predictions or bold statements of any sources of revenue. We need to hold tight and keep a flat budget going into next year.”

Dominguez has seen the numbers — a significant jump in gross receipts tax revenues for the first four months of the fiscal year and a booming August. “I’m optimistically cautious,” he said.

Dems vote to curb filibusters on appointees

By Alan Fram and David Espo

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Sweeping aside a century of precedent, Democrats took a chunk out of the Senate’s hallowed filibuster tradition Thursday and cleared the way for speedy confirmation of controversial appointments made by President Barack Obama and chief executives in the future.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who orchestrated the change, called the 52-48 vote a blow against gridlock. Republicans warned Democrats eventually will regret their actions once political fortunes are reversed and they can no longer block appointments made by a GOP president.

Peace Corps connects New Mexicans to JFK Participants view program as hallmark of presidency

It was 50 years ago today, but John Turnbull, a newly minted geologist, remembers it like it was yesterday.

He had just finished dinner, and he and some other Peace Corps volunteers were sitting around their house in Saltpond, a small community on the coast of Ghana,

when they began picking up reports on their shortwave radio that President John F. Kennedy had been shot in Dallas.

Finally, around 11:30 that night, the BBC confirmed Kennedy’s death.

Thousands of miles from home, they looked at one another. “We just didn’t know what to think,” Turnbull said recently.

The following day, elders from the Ghanian community came to their house to express sympathy.

Obama welcomes move long championed by Sen. Udall

WASHINGTON he presidency that ended in Dallas a half-century ago lasted just 34 months, hardly enough to make the mark John F. Kennedy had planned.

He wrestled with racial strife and history’s most dire nuclear crisis. There were setbacks and achievements. He lived to see little of his domestic agenda enacted. By the usual yardsticks used to assess presidents, he falls short of greatness. Yet Kennedy’s impact cannot be measured in the usual ways alone.

Americans landed on the moon within a decade after he conjured that mission.

“Ask not what your country can do for you” may remain the most famous phrase uttered by a leader of the free world.

Struck down in his prime, he remains as vigorous and charming as ever in the public mind, synonymous with both inspiration

and tragedy. After a halfcentury, actual deeds have melded with the gauzy, idealized image.

“He really reached people in a way that they long for — or at least, they remember how good it felt when they longed for that kind of leadership,” said nephew Patrick Kennedy, a former congressman and son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy. “The power of his legacy is how it resonates today. How his words carry through generations.”

Historians rate Kennedy as a middling president.

The public puts him on a pedestal with Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Roosevelt. His glowing image has survived tawdry revelations and bookshelves of critical reassessments.

He paid for his sins and shortcomings, people say, in the way the dead are eulogized more with charity than accuracy. “The slate was wiped clean in Dallas,” said Larry Sabato, author of The Kennedy Half Century

DALLAS — Loose gatherings of the curious and conspiracy-minded at Dallas’ Dealey Plaza have marked past anniversaries of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, featuring everything from makeshift memorials to marching drummers to discussions about who else might have been in on the killing.

But in the place where the president’s motorcade passed through and shots rang out on Nov. 22, 1963, a solemn ceremony on the 50th anniversary of his death designed to avoid such distractions will include brief remarks by the mayor and the tolling of church bells.

Knockout game spreads in U.S. In brief

Envoys at Iran nuclear talks chip away at differences

By Colleen Long

The Associated Press

NEW YORK n New York, a 78-year-old woman strolling in her neighborhood was punched in the head by a stranger and tumbled to the ground.

In Washington, a 32-year-old woman was swarmed by teenagers on bikes, and one clocked her in the face. In Jersey City, a 46-year-old man died after someone sucker-punched him and he struck his head on an iron fence.

In each case, police are investigating whether the attacks are part of a violent game called “knockout,” where the object is to target unsuspecting pedestrians with the intention of knocking them out cold with one punch.

Authorities and psychologists say the concept has been around for decades — or longer — and it’s played mostly by impulsive teenage boys looking to impress their friends.

“It’s hard to excuse this behavior, there’s no purpose to this,” said Jeffrey Butts, a psychologist specializing in juvenile delinquency at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

“When someone runs into a store and demands money, you can sort of understand why they’re doing it, desperation, whatever. But just hitting someone for the sheer thrill of seeing if you can knock someone out is just childish.”

At least two deaths have been linked to the game this year and police have seen a recent spike in similar attacks.

GENEVA — Iran nuclear talks entered a delicate phase Thursday as negotiators tried to fine-tune a draft agreement that would limit Tehran’s atomic program in return for easing some sanctions. Iran’s ability to produce nuclear fuel and relief for Iran’s oil and banking sectors appeared to be among the sticking points.

Participants at the talks refused to spell out what was standing in the way of a deal.

Sanctions relief was also an issue.

The United States and its allies have signaled they are ready to ease some sanctions in return for a firststep deal that contains Iran’s nuclear program.

New York City police have deployed additional officers to city neighborhoods where at least seven attacks occurred in the past few weeks, including the assault on the 78-year-old woman. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said some are smacked, some are more seriously assaulted, and some harassed.

The department’s hate crimes task force is investigating, because some attacks have been against Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn.

In Washington, D.C., police were investigating two assaults in the past week, both of which resulted in minor injuries but not unconsciousness.

One victim, Phoebe Connolly,

of Brattleboro, Vt., said she was randomly punched in the face by a teenager while riding her bike during a work-related visit to Washington last Friday. Connolly, who is 32 and works with teenagers in her job, said the blow knocked her head to the side and bloodied her nose.

While some of those attacked have been white, and some suspected attackers black, experts said the incidents are more about preying on the seemingly helpless than race or religion.

A recent media blitz about the game circulating on television stations and online isn’t helping, Connolly and experts said, especially because images are being repeatedly broadcast of victims in a dead fall, smacking the

ground with a limp thud.

The viral footage comes from older incidents: In one instance from 2012, 50-year-old Pittsburg English teacher James Addlespurger was punched in the face and falls to the curb. The image was caught on surveillance cameras, and a 15-year-old was arrested.

Juvenile delinquency experts say the best punishments for these teens would be empathy training, such as volunteering at a homeless shelter.

But a New York lawmaker proposed a bill this week that would make stricter sentences not only for those who do the punching, but for those who publish images online and watch the attacks.

Report: U.S. life expectancy ranks 26 in world

By Sarah Kliff

The Washington Post

Back in the 1970s, Americans typically lived longer than people in other countries.

Not anymore: A new report out Thursday morning from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development shows that the United States’ life expectancy is now one year behind the international average, lower than Canada and Germany and more akin to the Czech Republic and Poland.

This isn’t to say our life expectancy has gone down — quite the opposite. You can actually expect to live about eight years longer in the United States right now than you would have in 1970. But our life expectancy is growing a lot more slowly than that of other countries.

This 213-page, graph-laden OECD report tells the story of why. It shows the United States as a country that is spending tons and tons on health care — but getting way less than other countries out of that investment. It exposes a country that’s really great at buying fancy medical technologies, but not so fantastic at using those medical technologies to extend life. It is, in short, the story of why our health-care system is so messed up.

We’re usually at the top of the list when it comes to buying high-end medical machines, such as MRI and CAT-scan technology.

When you look at the OECD lists on who has the highest rate of medical technology per capita, the United States always cracks the top three.

We make great use of those machines, too.

Each year, more than one in 10 Americans get an MRI exam, a rate higher than any other country. In Austria, which has a life expectancy more than two years longer than that of the United States, the MRI rate is just about half of ours.

The OECD report shows the United States typically has some of the highest screening rates in the world.

But what we don’t do as much of are regular doctor visits. The average American makes four trips to the doctor in one year, compared to an international average of six visits.

That might have something to do with the fact that we don’t find our doctor visits especially helpful. Compared with the Swiss or the British, we’re less likely to think our doctor spent enough time with us or gave easyto-understand explanations.

In other words, we’re great at checking for

LONDON — Three women have been freed after spending 30 years held captive in a south London home, including one woman believed to have spent her entire life in domestic slavery, police announced Thursday.

London’s Metropolitan Police spoke about the rescues after two people — a man and a woman, both 67 — were arrested early Thursday on suspicion of forced labor and domestic servitude.

The arrests came as part of a slavery investigation launched after one of the women contacted a charity in October to say she was being held against her will along with two others. The charity went to the police, the force said.

Those freed on Oct. 25 are a 69-year-old Malaysian woman, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old British woman, police said.

FCC could OK cellphone calls by passengers during flights WASHINGTON — Rules against making cellphone calls during airline flights are “outdated,” and it’s time to change them, federal regulators said Thursday, drawing immediate howls of protest from flight attendants, airline officials and others.

Tom Wheeler, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said in a statement Thursday that the commission was proposing greater in-flight access to mobile broadband. The proposal will be considered at the commission’s Dec. 12 meeting.

“The time is right to review our outdated and restrictive rules,” Wheeler said, adding that modern technologies can deliver mobile services in the air safely and reliably.

Homelessness drops for third straight year in U.S. WASHINGTON — The number of homeless people in the U.S. declined for a third straight year, helped by sharp dropoffs in veteran and chronic homelessness, according to a government survey released Thursday.

More than 610,000 people were homeless at the time of the count, on a single night in the last week of January.

That was down from 633,782, or a 4 percent drop from the previous year, according to the survey by the Housing and Urban Development Department. The study counted people in 3,000 cities and counties The number of homeless veterans stood at 57,849, down nearly 5,000 or 8 percent from the previous year. The number of chronically homeless people declined 7 percent to 92,593. The number of people in homeless families fell 7 percent to 222,197, according to the report.

Five states — California, New York, Florida, Texas and Massachusetts — accounted for more than half of the homeless population.

problems, but less great at following through with treatment. While the United States, for example, has the highest rate of cervical cancer screenings, it also has a below-average five-year survival rate for the disease.

But the health system likely plays a key role, too. The United States has the highest rate of uninsured people in the countries the OECD studied, right below Estonia and Mexico. It’s plausible to think this can make it difficult to seek follow-up treatment when a screening does identify a problem.

And this brings us back to the start of this story, our slowing life expectancy growth.

“While life expectancy in the United States used to be one year above the OECD average in 1970, it is now more than one year below the average,” the authors write. “Many possible explanations have been suggested for these lower gains in life expectancy, including the highly fragmented nature of the U.S. health system, with relatively few resources devoted to public health and primary care, and a large share of the population uninsured.”

We’re spending a lot on health care but, when it comes to life expectancy, not getting much back in return.

Karzai did not seem inclined to temper his criticism, even with U.S. Ambassador James B. Cunningham and Marine Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., the top commander here, in the audience. The agreement would create a much smaller U.S. force — 5,000 to 10,000 troops — primarily for training and counterterrorism, after combat troops withdraw by the end of 2014.

But it commits the United States to another decade of expensive support after the longest war in U.S. history, a brutal 12-year campaign that has cost more than 2,200 American lives, countless wounded and psychologically damaged veterans, and $96.5 billion in reconstruction aid.

Karzai’s move creates logistical challenges for the Pentagon, which is desperate to begin planning for future deployments while closing bases and shipping home vehicles, gear and equipment as combat troops leave. Like many Afghans, U.S. commanders have been largely stuck in neutral while awaiting confirmation that the U.S. military commitment will indeed

continue into 2015.

The loya jirga is stacked with delegates appointed by or loyal to Karzai. Some Afghan politicians and analysts say Karzai is using the gathering for political cover. A final deal must also be approved by Afghanistan’s parliament, which is viewed as likely to endorse it.

U.S. officials asked Karzai’s office for clarification of his remarks because it was unclear whether the possible delay referred to signing the agreement before it is sent to the parliament, or a final presidential signature that enters the agreement into law.

According to the agreement, U.S. troops accused of crimes in Afghanistan would be subject to U.S. rather than Afghan law, despite Karzai’s insistence on legal jurisdiction. And U.S. special operations forces would continue to conduct counterterrorism operations in Afghan villages, with more constraints now that Afghan forces are leading combat operations. Karzai had initially demanded an end to the so-called night raids.

Senate panel advances Yellen’s bid to lead Fed

By Martin Crutsinger The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A Senate panel has advanced Janet Yellen’s nomination to lead the Federal Reserve, setting up a final vote in the full Senate.

The timing of a Senate vote isn’t clear, but Yellen is widely expected to win confirmation.

The Senate Banking Committee approved the nomination on a 14-8 vote.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., was the only Democrat to oppose Yellen’s nomination.

Republican Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Mark Kirk of Illinois supported her.

Yellen was nominated by President Barack Obama in October to succeed Ben Bernanke, whose second four-year

term as chairman will end Jan. 31.

Some senators have said they plan to hold up Yellen’s nomination as leverJanet Yellen age on other matters. That tactic is likely to delay but not derail Yellen’s confirmation.

Yellen would be the first woman to lead the Fed and the first Democrat to do so since Paul Volcker stepped down in 1987. She made clear at the committee’s hearing last week that she’s prepared to support the Fed’s extraordinary efforts to bolster the economy until there are clear signs of a sustained rebound and further improvement in the job market.

JfK: Glamour, myth boost legacy Continued from Page A-1

Corps: Region home to many returned volunteers Continued from Page A-1 A year later, when Anne Albrink arrived in the Ivory Coast (now the Cote d’Ivoire), local people were screening Kennedy’s face onto the cotton cloths people wrapped around their bodies. She remembers one showing the president’s white hand clasping a black one. “We all bought them,” she recalled.

Turnbull and Albrink were among the first young Americans to sign up for the Peace Corps, one of the most enduring legacies of the Kennedy presidency.

In October 1960, weeks before the election, Kennedy stood on the steps of the student union at the University of Michigan at 2 a.m. and called on young Americans to give two years of their lives in service to the people of the developing world.

The Peace Corps was founded the following year, and since then more than 210,000 young (and older) Americans have answered the call.

“President Kennedy was so positive about this initiative,” Turnbull said. “For the first time, here was a whole other approach to world peace, based upon friendship. It was just inspiring.”

Today, he said, “When you think of John Kennedy, you think of the Peace Corps.”

Judith Haden, a travel photographer who served in El Salvador after her junior year of college, said, “I think it’s one of the best things he ever did.”

Lorraine Goldman, who worked in Costa Rica with her husband, Don Goldman, from 1972 to 1976, recalled in an email this week, “We, like so many of our generation, thirsted to DO SOMETHING, but we had no idea how to do that. We joined the Peace Corps, like so many others, because John Kennedy asked us to and made it possible.”

And they and many others like them came home and continued to “stay engaged and do good work,” she wrote.

“That is part of the Kennedy legacy.”

Kennedy’s message still resonates Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico are home to hundreds of people who have served in the Peace Corps. In fact, Shawn Abeita, the Peace Corps recruiter for New Mexico, said Santa Fe ranks in the top 10 per capita for what are known as RPCVs (returned Peace Corps volunteers) ages 50 and up. Turnbull said he thinks they choose to live here in part because “we’re not afraid of people of differing cultures.”

According to Alan Burrus, coordinator of the New Mexico Peace Corps Association, there are close to 2,000 RPCVs statewide, including 60 or 70 in Los Alamos and a cluster in the Four Corners Area.

From the beginning, New Mexico’s universities helped train Peace Corps volunteers, and the state continues to supply them — currently some 60 New Mexicans are serving around the world. According to Abeita, a New Mexico Highlands University graduate and Peace Corps veteran (Panama, 2007-09), more than 100 New Mexicans apply annually, and “President Kennedy’s message still resonates with young people who want to serve.”

Although both President Barack Obama and the acting director of the Peace Corps say they want to see the organization grow, some Americans wouldn’t know it still exists. The number of volunteers peaked in 1966 at 15,000 and the budget, currently about $340 million, has not been rising.

A new perspective on the world This week, as the 50th anniversary of the president’s assassination approached, returned volunteers living in Santa Fe looked back on their experiences, with most saying that joining Peace Corps led to an incomparable adventure, but more importantly it informed their lives and careers for decades, conferring on them an abiding interest in the world outside their own hometowns.

Philip Crump (India, 1966-67), a mediator and facilitator, was active in the civil rights movement while an undergraduate at Duke University before joining the Peace Corps. Working with farmers to jump-start the green revolution “really opened my eyes,” he said. “And it has certainly continued to inform my perspective on the world.”

Like many young college graduates, those who joined the Peace Corps often were unsure of what to do with their degrees. In the early days, many young men were looking to avoid being sent to fight in Vietnam. Many were idealists, swept up in the Kennedy charisma, but some of the most successful also were seeking practical solutions to global problems.

Most returned with a sense of wanting to be of service. Many became educators, entered graduate school or joined the U.S. Foreign Service. “The idea of thinking globally and acting locally is still alive and well among returned Peace Corps volunteers,” Crump said.

Instead of pursuing an interest in dress design, Judith Haden majored in Spanish after returning from El Salvador (196668). “I think all of us have not just a wider worldview but a better understanding of issues like poverty and food security,” Haden said. She just returned from a 45th reunion with three of the women with whom she served.

Burrus went to Tonga (1967-70) after graduating from UCLA. When he came home, he went to graduate school at Berkeley, and then became an architect and builder. He’s been self-employed his whole working life. “After the Peace Corps, there was no way I was going to spend my career sitting in an office,” he said. In Tonga, he explained, “you’re really in touch with things. The walls were made of woven palm leaves. We were outside all day, more in touch with the seasons.”

It’s hard to measure the impact he and others had in the countries where they served, but, he said, “Some will tell you the biggest value is the volunteers themselves because of the citizens they become.”

What initially appealed to lawyer Frank Katz (Afghanistan, 1964-65) was the “chance to travel the world and not have to kill people.”

But he agreed with Burrus that “ultimately, I think it did more for us who went and got our world broadened than we ever did for the folks who were there.”

Albrink, who later became a family lawyer, said, “I think it truly opened me up. People gave me lots of opportunities I might not have had if it hadn’t been for the Peace Corps. Especially back in the beginning, it was really a badge of honor to have [served].”

For Sandra Blakeslee, a third-generation science writer, teaching school and living in a remote longhouse in Borneo (196567), was only one of many grand adventures in her life. But she, too, feels that “the Peace Corps did more for us volunteers than it did for the host country. … It just completely changed your worldview to be immersed in a culture completely different form your own. It was a lifechanging experience for everyone. You became in international citizen. … And you learned to respect other cultures and realize you are not special [because you are American.]”

Turnbull also said his Peace Corps experience was “life-altering.” Before going to Ghana, he had expected that as a geologist, his career would be in the extractive industries. But after returning home — and serving a stint in the Army — he said, “I didn’t believe in this stuff any more.”

Instead, he ended up working in a federal poverty program and later in environmental protection for what is now the state Environment Department.

and director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

The 35th president, himself a student of history, well understood that phenomenon. After the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, he asked a noted Civil War scholar whether Lincoln would be recalled so fondly had he served out his second term.

Of course not, came the answer, as Sabato recounted.

“If anyone’s going to kill me, it should happen now,” Kennedy told his first lady.

Undoubtedly, history has been kind. For the last 25 years, Gallup surveys have found his approval ratings averaging 83 percent. Just before the trip to Dallas, that hit a near-low of 58 percent.

“There is this image of Kennedy that has an enduring impact upon those who are alive that is unlike any other president. It has something to do with the glamour, the myth, the whole chemistry of his presidency,” said Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations who has advised four presidents.

“Kennedy occupies in the popular perception a unique space. … It’s not a realistic measuring stick for anybody else,” he said.

Kennedy’s inaugural address brimmed with idealism and promise, a huge and ambitious list of expectations at home and abroad, and a warning: “All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days.”

He was only off by five weeks.

A quarter century after the assassination, Ted Sorensen — his speechwriter and top adviser besides brother Bobby — readily conceded that Kennedy fell short of the many expectations he set. But to Kennedy, that would have been OK. “He felt that one of the duties of a president was to not lower the country’s sights, but to raise them, to give something to people to reach for,” Sorensen, who died three years ago, told The Dallas Morning News.

With help from Democrats in Congress, Kennedy did raise the minimum wage. He created the Peace Corps and cut taxes. The last law he signed encouraged community care for the mentally ill, a cause his nephew continues to promote.

More ambitious proposals would have to wait. It was his vice president, Lyndon Johnson, who signed a ban on racial discrimination and who created Medicare and massive anti-poverty programs in the Great Society agenda.

Kennedy was more cautious, and less skilled as a legislative tactician.

And he lacked a huge asset Johnson seized after Dallas: the memory of a martyred president.

“People say, ‘Oh, well, Johnson achieved what Kennedy could not,’ ” Sabato said. But “1,037 days is not very long. It’s just impossible to say what he would have done and wouldn’t have done.”

For civil rights leaders, Kennedy

was a disappointment. Re-election was likely, but would hinge on Southern support. He and Bobby Kennedy, his attorney general and chief counselor, feared that pressing too hard on civil rights would put at risk the support he needed in the South.

“He was a bystander,” said Julian Bond, founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and in later years, NAACP chairman.

Still, the Kennedys couldn’t ignore the upheaval. They sent marshals in summer 1961 to protect Freedom Riders seeking to integrate public transit.

The next year, the president mobilized the Mississippi National Guard and sent federal troops to quell rioting and force integration at Ole Miss.

Bond called these moves “desperate” and reactive. “He just wasn’t the person many people think he was,” said Bond, who now teaches at American University. “He wasn’t hostile to civil rights. He didn’t do much as president to promote it.”

It took the bloody confrontations in Birmingham, Ala., in spring 1963 to rouse Kennedy to a more assertive posture. That June, he mustered the full force of his office and rhetorical gifts, challenging Congress to end Jim Crow once and for all.

“We are confronted primarily with a moral issue,” he said, noting that no white American would willingly trade places with those who endure daily humiliations because of their race.

Seven months after the assassination, after a 54-day filibuster and plenty of arm-twisting by Johnson, Congress passed enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In 1965, Johnson signed the landmark Voting Rights Act, putting Southern states under scrutiny in elections.

Few historians think Kennedy could have accomplished what Johnson did.

“Everybody wanted to kick the civil rights issue down the road,” said Kennedy biographer Richard Reeves.

Still, he said, that June 1963 speech carried risk and was “no small thing. … A lot of it was carried out by Johnson, but that was the hinge point.”

In foreign affairs, the Kennedy legacy rests on three episodes: the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the Cuban missile crisis and Vietnam.

The biggest failure came first.

Three months on the job, the CIAplanned invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs was a humiliating fiasco.

Kennedy pulled air support at the last minute, a compromise that doomed the mission. He learned from the failure, vowing never again to let advice from generals and spymasters go unchallenged.

In the campaign against Vice President Richard Nixon, Kennedy had warned of a “missile gap” with the Soviets that turned out to be phantom. The bellicosity helped provoke Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev.

A month after a disastrous Vienna summit in June 1961, the Soviets erected the Berlin Wall. A year later, Khrushchev deployed nuclear missiles to Cuba, 90 miles from American shores.

For 13 days in October 1962, the world stared into an abyss.

Kennedy confided to Bobby that in his view, the odds of nuclear conflagration ranged from 1-in-3 to 50-50.

Tens of millions would have died.

“This was the most dangerous moment in recorded history,” said Graham Allison, a national security expert at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government whose early study of the crisis remains widely taught.

“As we’ve gotten further and further away from it, it seems incredible.”

As tensions eased, a hotline was installed between the White House and the Kremlin. Arms control, a wild-eyed notion until then, became a central focus of national security policy. The rivals signed a ban on airborne nuclear tests — Kennedy’s own proudest achievement.

“At the end of the day, the missiles weren’t in Cuba and there was no nuclear war. … There’s a significant legacy in leaving us a safer world,” Allison said.

And then there was Vietnam.

Dwight Eisenhower had warned that if South Vietnam fell to communism, the rest of Southeast Asia could follow. He sent 700 advisers in 1955.

Kennedy embraced this “domino” theory and upped the ante, sending the first combat troops. By the day he died, the U.S. deployment had risen to 16,000. Three weeks earlier, his administration had helped topple President Ngo Dinh Diem; for many, that turning point made Kennedy responsible for the turmoil to come.

Defenders insist he would have kept U.S. involvement at a low boil, but it’s impossible to know. Johnson went big and always maintained doing so was Kennedy’s intention.

Both faced pressure not to appear weak on national security.

Johnson left office in 1969 with 550,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam. The war would rage six more years and leave lasting scars on American society — an indirect and especially dark element of the Kennedy legacy.

The Kennedy name adorns nearly 900 public schools around the country. Every president since, and nearly every contender for that office, in both parties, has invoked his memory, policies or rhetoric.

“Kennedy was not a great president,” Reeves said, but “the world changed totally during his lifetime. … He personified a new age.”

He was young, and glitzy. He dreamed big. He brought to bear a wit and oratory to match.

“As Roosevelt, Reagan and Kennedy understood, the words are more important than the deeds,” Reeves said.

Distorted by sorrow, the legacy still echoes, transcending political skirmishes and international crises.

“His impact was so disproportionate on history because of what he evoked in people and what he continues to evoke,” said his nephew.

“I run into people all the time who tell me their lives were totally transformed because of his inspiration.”

events: Ceremonies to pay respect Continued from Page A-1 “It’s 50 years later and it’s also a moment to look forward to the future,” said Thomas Putnam, executive director of the library, which usually doesn’t observe the anniversary. “We want our tone to be respectful and we want it to have a certain reverence, but we also want it to be hopeful and end on this notion of what JFK stood for.”

The committee convened by current Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to plan the city’s event wanted to focus “in a positive way more on the legacy of President Kennedy,” said Ron Kirk, a former mayor and member of the panel.

About 5,000 tickets were issued for the free ceremony in Dealey Plaza, which is flanked by the Texas School Book Depository building where sniper Lee Harvey Oswald perched on the sixth floor in 1963.

Friday’s event will include readings from the president’s speeches by author David McCullough. In a nod to Kennedy’s military service, the U.S. Naval Academy Men’s Glee Club will perform and there will be an Air Force flyover. A moment of silence will be held at 12:30 p.m., when the president was shot.

There was no shortage of events in Dallas this year marking the anniversary, including panels with journalists and others who witnessed the events of the day, special concerts and museum exhibits.

As press aide for Texas Gov. John Connally, Julian Read was in a media bus several vehicles behind the presidential limousine. After the gunshots, he watched as the vehicle carrying the president and wounded governor sped away. Read released a book this year recount-

ing his experience and has attended several of the events, which he called cathartic.

“Even though there are all those melancholy thoughts, the way it’s shaping up … gives me more of a comfort than any time since 1963,” said Read, who will return to Dealey Plaza on Friday.

John Judge, executive director of the Coalition on Political Assassinations, first came to Dealey Plaza to mark the fifth anniversary of JFK’s death in 1968.

Judge’s group, which believes Kennedy’s death was part of a conspiracy, usually gathers on the plaza’s “grassy knoll” for a moment of silence at 12:30 p.m. Since it’ll be blocked off this year, Judge says he’s reached a “livable” agreement with the city in which they’ll gather a few blocks away and move to the plaza after the official ceremony ends.

The group has made T-shirts for the occasion with the slogan, “50 years in denial is enough” and an image like that of Kennedy on the half-dollar coin, except with a bullet hole in his head and blood.

“It was meant to be shocking because we think that not solving his murder was shocking,” Judge said. He added about 10 members of his group will attend the official ceremony.

Other events being held Friday in Dallas include a ceremony at Parkland Memorial Hospital, where Kennedy was declared dead, to lower the U.S. flag to half-staff. In Fort Worth, the city’s Chamber of Commerce will host a breakfast at the hotel where Kennedy gave his last speech and spent the last night of his life.

In Boston, the private musical tribute will feature Paul Winter, who

Emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases are generally tracked by country. Yet efforts to fashion binding international climate agreements have failed repeatedly, including at a United Nations climate meeting being held now in Warsaw that has grown increasingly acrimonious.

In the face of the diplomatic stalemate, the study focused on the companies that produce fossil fuels to prompt them “to become part of the solution rather than passive [and profitable] bystanders to continued climate disruption.”

Heede and his research team spent eight years tracing data about companies from international sources, like the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, as well as

and that will impact how much federal workers spend when they visit the city.

“It will have an effect,” he said.

“The next few months are the ones to watch to see what the trend is.”

Longer term, Tapia said, there are questions about state spending on an agreement to reimburse cities and counties for gross receipt taxes lost after the Legislature exempted groceries and medicine from that tax. Even though the money is no longer collected, the state has been dipping into its general fund to pay local governments the amounts that would have been collected in taxes on those items — at a loss to education and other state services.

The fix for local governments is costing the state more than expected, and lawmakers decided during the last session to change the reimbursement for-

mula as part of a comprehensive effort to cut corporate income taxes. The new formula could cost Santa Fe more than $650,000 starting in 2015, Tapia said.

Dominguez, who has spent eight years on the Finance Committee finding ways to hold spending and avoid layoffs, said the city has needs for increased services and staffing. If the gross receipts tax revenue increases hold, he said, he will move to re-evaluate the city budget in January.

“The last four or five years, it’s been ‘cross your fingers and hope things are good,’ ” Dominguez said. “I think if we keep the same trend and it carries itself through the holidays, it’s an opportunity to provide city staff with more services they need for our constituents.”

Filibusters: Supporters say change meant to put stop to gridlock Continued from Page A-1 At the White House, Obama welcomed the shift. “The gears of government have got to work,” he said, and he declared that Republicans had increasingly used existing rules “as a reckless and relentless tool to grind all business to a halt.”

But Republicans warned of a power grab by Democrats, some predicting that worse was yet to come. “This drastic move sets a dangerous precedent that could later be expanded to speed passage of expansive and controversial legislation,” said Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.

The day’s change involved presidential appointees, not legislation — and not Supreme Court nominees.

The original impetus for the change came from relatively junior Democrats, including Sens. Tom Udall of New Mexico and Jeff Merkley of Oregon, who are among the 31 members of their party who have never served in the Senate minority.

More senior Democrats came around gradually, some noting the Senate’s traditions while others fretted about the possibility that they were giving up the right to block nominees of the future whom they might oppose strenuously.

Asked about that concern after the vote, Reid said, “This is the way it has to be. The Senate has changed.”

The immediate impact was to ensure post-Thanksgiving confirmation for Patricia Millett, one of Obama’s three stalled nominees for the District of Columbia Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, and for others whom Republicans have blocked. Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., tapped to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is among them.

The vote came one day after Udall took to the Senate floor to repeat the case he began making four years ago that the chamber’s rules on blocking debate need reform.

“Americans sent us here to get things done, but in recent years, the minority has filibustered again and again — not to slow action out of substantive concerns, but for political gain,” he said in a statement Thursday. “Any President — Democrat or Republican — should be able to make their necessary appointments.”

If the nominees are qualified, he said, “they get an up or down vote in the Senate. If a majority is opposed, they can reject a nominee. But a minority shouldn’t be able to delay them indefinitely.”

Udall called the recent filibuster of

three D.C. Circuit nominees “the final straw in a long history of blocking the president’s nominees. Doing nothing was no longer an option.”

New Mexico’s other senator, fellow Democrat Martin Heinrich, issued a statement saying, “I applaud Senator Udall for leading this effort to alleviate dysfunction and increase accountability in the Senate.”

The longer-term result of the unilateral move by Democrats was harder to gauge in a Senate that has grown deeply constrained by the major political differences emblematic of an era of divided government.

At issue was a rule that has required a 60-vote majority to end debate in the 100-member Senate and assure a yes-orno vote on presidential nominees to federal courts or to Cabinet departments or other agencies.

Under a parliamentary maneuver scripted in advance, Democrats changed the proceedings so that only a simple majority was required to clear the way for a final vote. In Senate-speak, this was accomplished by establishing a new precedent under the rules, rather than a formal rules change.

Supreme Court nominations still will be subject to a traditional filibuster, the term used to describe the 60-vote requirement to limit debate.

The day’s events capped more than a decade of struggle over judicial nominations, in which first President George W. Bush found his appointees stalled by Senate Democrats, and more recently Obama has complained that Republicans have been delaying or preventing confirmation for his picks.

The vote adds to the list of issues likely to figure in next year’s congressional elections. In a fundraising appeal emailed a few hours after the vote, the Senate Republicans’ campaign organization asked for donations. It warned that “Democrats are going to pack Obama’s liberal judges on the federal courts,” and sought donations to “throw these hacks out of office.”

On Thursday, in a certain sign that a showdown was imminent, senators filed into the Senate chamber at midmorning in unusual numbers. They listened from their desks as Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky swapped accusations that preceded a series of votes on arcane parliamentary points.

Yet there was no suspense about the final outcome.

McConnell said Republicans had grown tired of threats of action. “We’re not interested in having a gun put to our head any longer,” he said, noting that Democrats have periodically talked of changing the rules in recent months.

Still, the events marked a reversal for Reid, who had threatened earlier in the year to change the application of filibuster rules for nominees to Cabinet departments and other agencies, but not for appointments to the courts.

Back then, he and McConnell clashed in highly personal, accusatory terms.

This time, they recited their grievances in an exchange that was courteous if sharply worded.

“In the history of the Republic, there have been 168 filibusters of executive and judicial nominees. Half of them have occurred during the Obama administration — during the last four and a half years,” Reid said.

The Nevada Democrat accused the GOP of “unbreakable, unprecedented obstruction.” He said Republicans had blocked qualified appointees “to force wholesale changes to laws … to restruc-

ture entire executive branch departments” and because they don’t want Obama “to appoint any judges to certain courts.”

McConnell retorted that Democrats had “pioneered the practice of filibustering circuit court nominees,” beginning with Miguel Estrada, a 2001 Bush appointee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked by Democrats under pressure from outside liberal groups. A Hispanic immigrant viewed at the time as a potential future Supreme Court pick, he withdrew his nomination after more than two years in limbo.

McConnell said Republicans had allowed confirmation of 99 percent of Obama’s appointments to the courts.

And he likened Reid’s dropping of his pledge to leave rules for judicial appointees unaffected to the promise the president made that Americans who liked their health coverage could keep it under “Obamacare.”

McConnell, the GOP leader said, “may as well just have said, ‘If you like the rules of the Senate, you can keep them.’ ” The change is the most far-reaching since 1975, when a two-thirds requirement for cutting off filibusters against legislation and all nominations was lowered to 60 votes.

Modern-day rules covering filibusters have evolved slowly in the Senate, where change rarely comes easily. Since 1917, the minority has enjoyed the right to unlimited debate on legislation and nominations until the majority can amass a super-majority. In recent years, that has meant 60 votes.

In the end, Democratic Sens. Carl Levin of Michigan, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Mark Pryor of Arkansas parted company with Reid on the switch.

Pryor, who faces a difficult re-election fight next year, said in a statement the Senate was “designed to protect — not stamp out — the voices of the minority.”

Pryor also noted he had been among a bipartisan group of senators, the socalled Gang of 14, that produced a lastminute compromise nearly a decade ago when Republicans threatened a change in procedures to assure confirmation of several of Bush’s stalled judicial nominees.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., another veteran of the Gang of 14, said he had met with Reid on Wednesday urging him to reconsider. “I reached out until my arms ached,” he said.

A step in the right direction

Glenn Garvin

The Miami Herald

B

ack in the mid-1970s, a certain loopy fringe of American college students was enthralled with a nutball sci-fi novel called The Eye in the Pyramid. Among the book’s many dotty characters was a sinister professional hit man named Harry Coin. On Nov. 22, 1963, Coin, hired by a mysterious group of conspirators to kill President Kennedy, arrives in Dallas to set up his sniper’s nest on a highway overpass.

But as he awaits Kennedy’s motorcade, he’s astonished to see another gunman in the Texas School Book Depository a block away. And wait — there’s a guy with a rifle on the grassy knoll just below, one in the Dal-Tex building across the street, and, a bit farther, yet another atop the Dallas County Records Building. “Great God Almighty!” cries out the frustrated Coin.

“How the [bleep] many of us are there here?”

I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling a little bit like Harry Coin these days. The JFK Assassination Conspiracy Cult has never been small, and as the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s death arrives, it’s hitting warp speed. In a History Channel documentary (JFK Assassination: The Definitive Guide) that airs on Nov. 22, Vincent Bugliosi — the former Manson Family prosecutor and author of Reclaim History, an encyclopedic study of the assassination — says he has counted up 42 different conspiracy theories involving 82 assassins and 214 accomplices.

Practically anybody or any institution can be tossed into the pot of suspects these days. The Vatican did it! (I’m sure there are all kinds of reasons why Pope Paul VI would have wanted to kill

N the first Catholic president of the United States. Just give me a few years to think of one.) The Federal Reserve did it! (Take that, you damned Keynesians!) The CIA did it because Kennedy was going to end the Vietnam War and cost the military-industrial complex a lot of potential profits! (No word yet on why the CIA didn’t kill President Eisenhower a decade earlier for ending the Korean war.

Maybe its profit margins were smaller?)

The Vietnam War theory is a good example of how conspiracy-itis is immune from either evidence or rational argument. Kennedy was elected president as a militant Cold War hawk who pledged an America that would “pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe” in the fight against communism. Just three weeks before his assassination, Kennedy’s administration helped to instigate a coup in South Vietnam in hope of installing a government that would press the war against the communist North more aggressively. The idea that he was killed because he was soft on communism is preposterous.

Even more outrageous is the belief that a lifelong Marxist like Lee Harvey Oswald would be the trigger man in a plot supposedly aimed at making America more anticommunist. What’s been largely lost in all the conspiracy hoo-hah over motives is that the forensic evidence tying Oswald to the assassination is mountainous and indisputable. The murder weapon was purchased by Oswald through the mail with an order-form filled out in his handwriting and his wife took photos of Oswald posing with it months before the assassination. It bore his palm print and was found in a room in the building in which he worked. (The only employee missing when cops sealed the building off a few minutes after Kennedy was shot: Oswald.)

But conspiracy theories never expire at the hands of evidence and logical refutation. Mostly, they don’t expire at all. Thirty years ago, the theory that Oswald wasn’t really Oswald at all, that he’d been bodysnatched (by the KGB or the CIA, take your pick) and replaced with a trained-assassin imposter, was so popular that Oswald’s

family had his body exhumed and examined by pathologists. From dental records and scars, the pathologists concluded that the body was irrefutably Oswald.

Last week I asked Gerald Posner, author of the definitive anti-conspiracy book Case Closed, what he considered the single stupidest idea he had ever encountered about the assassination. The Driver Theory, he replied.

Derived from a blurry frame in the Zapruder film of the assassination, it posits that the Secret Service agent driving Kennedy’s limo turned and shot him three shots with a pistol. “And somehow Jackie Kennedy, and Texas Gov. John Connally and his wife, who were all there in the car, just failed to notice,” he explained.

I laughed. Posner didn’t.

“I know it sounds funny,” he said. “It’s become a big board game, Who Killed JFK, and everybody can play, every theory is equal. We’ve turned the assassination into a carnival, and we’ve forgotten how serious it was: that America suffered a political assassination and history was changed.”

Shooting contests have negative impact on youth

T

he recent wildlife killing contest happening reminds us that New Mexico has a massive and unresolved problem with violence. This event was sponsored by a Los Lunas gun seller.

Using wildlife for target practice teaches children a total disregard for life.

Criminal psychology confirms that children who witness animal abuse are far more likely to abuse animals themselves as adults. It is morally wrong to make abusers out of emotionally healthy children.

The governor plays a critical role in protecting kids from violence. Gov. Susana Martinez recently intervened in the case of a group of kids missing from a Sierra County youth camp. Martinez should act now on behalf of every child in New Mexico by making sure their education does not include weekend killing sprees and that their field trips do not involve military assault rifles used on living targets.

ew Mexicans are still waiting for a decision from the state Supreme Court on whether same-sex marriages are legal in New Mexico — the court heard oral arguments in October, but no ruling has been issued. Considering the legal issues and writing the decision takes time, obviously.

Even so, supporters of marriage equality are not simply waiting to hear the court’s decision. Recently, they announced the formation of the New Mexico Unites for Marriage group, an organization that will be ready to advocate for the rights of families no matter how the court rules.

Some 1,500 couples have married in New Mexico since a handful of counties began issuing licenses back in August; eight counties now issue the licenses, that allow all couples the freedom to marry.

Heading the advocacy group are former Gov. Gary Johnson, once a Republican, and U.S. Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat from Albuquerque. This bipartisan movement is important. The best defense, as they say, is a strong offense. Many expect the court to legalize same-sex marriage; the New Mexico Constitution demands equal protection for all, and the U.S. Supreme Court has already struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. New Mexico’s Supreme Court last summer ruled that a photographer cannot refuse to take pictures of a same-sex couple’s commitment ceremony, perhaps forshadowing a court decision on marriage equality.

But backers of the right to marry are no dummies. They will take nothing for granted. They know that conservatives in New Mexico will not leave a court ruling unchallenged. They are expected to turn to the Legislature, perhaps to seek a law protecting so-called traditional marriage.

People who do not want gay marriage in New Mexico likely will try to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot limiting marriage to one man, one woman. This is a right that will have to be protected going forward.

What’s more, we anticipate conservative backlash against the judiciary, as happened in Iowa when the court approved same-sex marriage there. Justices and District Court judges could face tougher retention battles. New Mexico has been fortunate that our judicial races are nonpartisan and generally lacking in nastiness. Democrats generally win statewide, but that’s a party designation rather than an indication of activism or liberalism. We would favor nonpartisan judicial races to take the politics out of the equation. Even with partisan elections, New Mexico judges and justices tend to be ones who focus on law and precedent, rather than legislating from on high. Should a ruling go in favor of marriage equality, the Supreme Court would be following the state Constitution.

This group might be unnecessary. Given the backlash against equality that surely is forming, though, it’s a smart step toward preserving the rights of all New Mexico families.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 22, 1913: From July 1, 1912, to June 30, 1913, predatory animal kills within the national forests of Arizona and New Mexico numbered 40 bear, 158 coyotes, 62 mountain lions, 22 lynx, 75 wild cats and 28 wolves.

Rooms have been set aside by the Sisters of Charity in St. Vincent Hospital for a new free dispensary for children. Physicians of the Santa Fe County Medical Association will be in attendance every day from 12 to 1 o’clock on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, and all children under the age of 12 will be treated free of charge.

Nov. 22, 1963: President John F. Kennedy has been assassinated. The Chief Executive was shot as he rode in an open car in downtown Dallas, Texas, waving and smiling to a crowd of 250,000. Vice President Lyndon Johnson — the nation’s new president —was in the same cavalcade but a number of car lengths behind. He was not hurt.

Nov. 22, 1988: State employees who worked brief stints with local governments in order to boost personal retirement benefits may have to pay back the extra money they have received.

District Judge Bruce Kaufman ruled Monday against 52 so-called “job jumpers” who took advantage of a loophole in state retirement rules. “These people took these jobs for the express purpose to increase their benefits and they worked as short a time as possible.” … if the employees were allowed to get the higher benefits, it could cost the state as much as $4.5 million.

BBC plans big birthday bash for ‘Doctor Who’

By Jill Lawless

The Associated Press

LONDON ell, Doctor Who is turning 50. So what do you get a timetraveling, galaxy-hopping hero who has everything?

Plenty of new time and space on the airwaves.

The BBC is throwing a broadcasting blowout for the sci-fi show, which began with little fanfare and few expectations on Nov. 23, 1963, but is now one of its biggest hits and major exports.

A 75-minute anniversary episode will be shown simultaneously Saturday in almost 80 countries, and there are 3-D screenings in movie theaters around the world. The Cottonwood 16 in Albuquerque is the only theater in New Mexico participating in the event.

The anniversary week features hours of supporting programs, online teasers and mini-episodes, and a Doctor Who festival at a London conference center. And then there’s An Adventure in Space and Time, a 90-minute drama about the origins of the show, which will be broadcast in Britain on Thursday and on BBC America on Friday.

An Adventure in Space and Time recounts how a group of inexperienced programmakers “set out to create a bit of teatime telly and instead created magic,” scriptwriter Mark Gatiss said at a preview screening.

Doctor Who even has royal approval — Britain’s royal family threw a Buckingham Palace reception this week for its stars and creators.

The hoopla contrasts sharply with the BBC’s initially careless attitude to the show.

Doctor Who has had as many narrow escapes as its hero, a charismatic Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey who travels the universe in the TARDIS, a time-and-space machine shaped like a blue British police phone box that is bigger on the inside than it looks.

The Doctor — he’s always called the Doctor; the “who” of the title is an existential question — has been played by 11 actors in six decades.

He’s had dozens of travelling companions and saved the world countless times.

He has visited ancient Rome and the Stone Age, distant galaxies and the end of time. He has battled robotic Cybermen, rampaging Yeti and —repeatedly — the Daleks, those pepperpot-shaped metal aggressors whose favorite word is “Exterminate!”

Yet the show almost never happened.

The pilot was a disaster and had to be reshot. The first episode was broadcast, inauspiciously, a day after John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

The show was almost cancelled after four episodes.

Higher-ups at the BBC hated the Daleks.

“From the beginning it had a lot of enemies, people who thought it was stupid, too expensive, too much of a demand on the [BBC] drama department,” said cultural historian and Doctor Who fan Matthew Sweet. “Lots of people wanted it to fail.”

Scores of early episodes were lost because the BBC wiped the tapes for re-use.

Nine “lost” episodes were recently found in a storeroom in Nigeria, but about 100 remain missing.

There was also a 16-year gap starting in 1989 when Doctor Who was not on TV screens at all, save for a one-off TV movie in 1996.

But the fans never forgot, even during the lean years, and when the show was revived in 2005 it was an immediate hit.

“It sort of spread like a virus,” Sweet said. “It’s the kind of show that plants seeds in people. It just sort of gets hold of you in a funny sort of way.”

Today, Doctor Who is an institution that draws intense loyalty from millions of fans around the world. Generations of British children grew up on it. Hordes of American teens and adults have recently discovered it.

One of the secrets of its longevity is that the Doctor can regenerate into a new body when the old one wears out, so the show can outlive any individual star.

A character who began as a crotchety older man (William Hartnell) is currently a cheery young charmer in a bow tie played by 31-year-old Matt Smith.

A 12th Doctor, played by Scottish actor Peter Capaldi, is due to make his entrance in a Christmas Day episode.

The anniversary episode, “The Day of the Doctor” was written by Steven Moffat, who has been the show’s executive producer since 2009.

It promises fans the rare chance to see multiple Doctors onscreen at the same time. Smith teams up with his predecessor David Tennant, while John Hurt plays a hitherto unknown, darker incarnation of the character.

The concept of regeneration happened almost by accident.

Poor health forced Hartnell to retire in 1966. But by then the TV show was a hit and the BBC had to think up a way to continue without him.

“There is an alternate universe in which he was well and Doctor Who ran for about five years,” said Gatiss, who has written for Doctor Who and co-created the hit detective drama Sherlock. “The extraordinary thing was, by dint of [Hartnell’s] illness, change is inbuilt into the structure of the program.”

Sweet said that flexibility is balanced by an unwaveringly upbeat message which has helped Doctor Who endure through changing times and multiple stars. “If it has a message, it’s ‘Don’t judge people by appearances, don’t tolerate oppression, be skeptical, value life and don’t let the bullies win,’ ” he said.

TAOS — The town of Taos has paid mayor Darren Córdova’s radio stations more than $165,000 for advertising in the eight years he’s served as an elected official.

Payments to the mayor’s company — DMC Broadcasting — quadrupled

after Córdova took office in 2006 and have hovered around $22,000 annually in recent years, according to town records. That amount buys taxpayers about 6,600 ads a year from DMC, or an average of about 18 ads a day.

DMC Broadcasting includes Taos stations KXMT, KVOT, KKIT and KKTC.

Town officials say the radio ads are used to promote special events and raise awareness about town services.

Officials also acknowledge Córdova’s potential conflict of interest as mayor and business owner, and insist steps are taken to ensure the payments to DMC are legal.

Payment records show the town was spending around $2,300 a year for ads before Córdova was elected to the council. Records show the ads were to promote high school sports and holiday events.

The family of Jennifer Martinez believes her death this week from injuries sustained in a fall from her boyfriend’s moving truck was a tragic accident, although the Santa Fe man has been charged with homicide in the case.

“They had a very good relationship,” said Ariel Martinez, Jennifer’s sister. “They never argued, they never fought, and they were together all the time.

There’s just no way he hurt her.”

On Monday, Moses Trujillo, 24, was arrested for drunken driving and later charged with vehicular homicide after his Jennifer Martinez girlfriend was pronounced dead.

Trujillo and Martinez, who had been dating for a year, were on their way to his grandmother’s house just before 3 p.m. Monday. Before that, Martinez’s uncle had been helping Trujillo fix the alternator on his blue 1998 Toyota pickup.

Trujillo was driving between 15 and 20 mph south on Portavela Street and then made a left turn onto Esplendor Street, just south of Zia Road, when Martinez, 24, fell out and hit her head on the pavement.

According to Ariel Martinez, bystanders called Trujillo’s grandmother, a nurse, who lives nearby.

Trujillo said he called 911, then drove his truck to his grandmother’s house, only a few hundred feet from the accident scene. He returned to stay

anta Fe Public Schools Superintendent Joel Boyd abandoned his prepared script for the annual State of the Schools speech Thursday and instead spoke off the cuff for about 15 minutes to about 150 people — mostly district employees — at the Roundhouse.

In quick order, Boyd praised the city of Santa Fe for partnering with the district to provide resources for students and then asked the teachers and principals in attendance to stand

In brief

Police nab alleged serial burglar Acting on tips from the community, Santa Fe police picked up a man Wednesday night who they believe is responsible for many property crimes in the last month.

Officers arrested Kenneth Martinez, 26, 1326 Maez Road, near Second Street and Cerrillos Road, police said.

Police had asked the public to help them find Martinez after he crashed his vehicle in the 2800 block of Cerrillos Road about a week ago and fled. Investigators found thousands of dollars in stolen jewelry inside the vehicle, including a piece worth $100,000 according to Celina Westervelt, the department’s spokeswoman.

Martinez has a lengthy rap sheet, including a June arrest on charges of receiving stolen prop-

and be acknowledged. “It’s because of their hard work that you see the accomplishments around me,” he said, adding that the district is doing everything it can to support educators.

Boyd acknowledged that his proposals are throwing some off balance. Those plans include high school reform, an educator evaluation program and plans to give schools more (or less) autonomy based on academic achievement. He said he would like to slow down, but “our children cannot wait. Our city cannot wait. Our schools cannot wait.”

Boyd briefly touched on the fact that his sin-

erty, aggravated assault on a peace officer, aggravated fleeing from a law-enforcement officer, resisting or obstructing an officer and possession of a controlled substance.

He also has been found guilty of burglary, larceny and shoplifting, according to online records.

The news release stated that detectives already had tied Martinez to three property crimes that occurred in November, and that they are hoping to connect him to more. Westervelt said police have not arranged a date for people to see the stolen jewelry, but she added that officers already had identified most of the owners.

Martinez is currently being held in lieu of a $10,000 cash bond and a $3,000 cash or surety bond.

Obama taps Duke City man for post ALBUQUERQUE — President Barack Obama has nominated an Albuquerque native as the next U.S. attorney for the district of New Mexico.

U.S. Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich announced Obama’s selection of Damon Martinez on Thursday. The two had recommended Martinez for the post in April.

Martinez has served as an assistant U.S. attorney since 2001 and currently supervises the organized crime and gang section in Albuquerque. He has also worked on national security, anti-terrorism, immigration and narcotics cases.

The U.S. Senate will have the final say on the confirmation.

State braces for early blast of wintry weather Staff and wire reports

New Mexicans are bracing for an early blast of winter that’s forecast to bring a foot of snow to the mountains and ice to the eastern plains.

The National Weather Service in Albuquerque says initial concerns are focused across the eastern plains.

They’re likening the storm to a one-two punch, with the first wave coming Thursday night. It will be capable of producing a couple of inches of snow along the eastern half of the state and up to a foot in the high elevations of Northern New Mexico.

Strong winds are expected to accompany the front over the plains.

Forecasters say the second punch will come over the weekend with more rain and snow for the plains. The winter weather is also expected to move into Central and Western New Mexico.

For the Santa Fe area, the National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory from 10 p.m. Thursday to 5 p.m. Friday, followed by a winter storm watch in effect from Friday afternoon through late Sunday night.

The prediction for Thursday night included freezing rain and sleet after midnight, with snow and sleet accumulation of 1 inch.

Light freezing rain and light sleet is predicted for Friday morning, followed by rain, then another dose of snow and light sleet in the afternoon. Snow is likely Friday night, with accumulations of around 1 inch and lows in the 20s.

More rain and snow is forecast for Saturday with temperatures in the mid-teens to low 30s Saturday night. The rain and snow is likely to continue through Sunday. It should not be as cold Monday, although the day is forecast to be mostly cloudy with a chance or rain and snow showers. Warmer temperatures and sunny skies are forecast to return Tuesday.

at the time of the crime.

Colorado law defines insanity as the inability to tell right from wrong, so a defendant could have a mental illness but still be legally sane.

Steinhauser, who is not involved in the Holmes case, said the prosecution’s request for further evaluation might indicate that Holmes was found sane but with an impaired mental condition. If that were the case, it could be difficult for prosecutors to convince a jury to convict him of murder and sentence him to death because of the difficulty in making the distinction between mental illness and insanity.

Arapahoe County District Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. ordered both sides to submit written arguments on further psychiatric evaluation and tentatively scheduled hearings for Dec. 17 and 18.

Holmes’ attorneys don’t

dispute that he committed the shootings but said he was “in the throes of a psychotic episode.” That makes the sanity evaluations the most important pieces of evidence.

If jurors were to find that Holmes was insane, he would be committed indefinitely to the state hospital. If doctors there ever concluded Holmes’ sanity had been restored, he could one day be released, but that is considered unlikely.

Law enforcement officers have testified that Holmes planned the attack for months, stockpiling guns and ammunition. They also say he elaborately booby-trapped his apartment with bombs designed to explode and divert police and fire crews from the theater.

Prosecutors want to use that evidence to undermine the insanity claim by showing the attack was meticulously planned and that he knew it was wrong.

Radio: Manager calls contracts ‘standard’ Continued from Page B-1 related to the expansion of DMC, which acquired several stations around the time he was elected to the council.

FCC records show KXMT was licensed in 2005, and KVOT and KKIT were licensed in 2006. (DMC acquired this year two more frequencies that are not yet operative.)

In its most recent contract with DMC, the town agreed to pay up to $22,000 for ads on DMC stations. Each 30-second ad spot costs the town $3 — a price Córdova called “unbelievably low for radio” — meaning the town can buy as many as 6,587 ads a year.

By comparison, KTAO charges up to $10 per 30-second spot in its contract with the town.

The DMC contract notes that the broadcasting company provides $2,000 worth of free interviews with town staff, and Córdova said his stations also give the Taos Police Department “carte blanche” to use his stations’ airwaves.

The money paid to DMC for ads is a third of the $66,000 the town spends for “marketing consultants,” which includes payments to other local radio stations and to The Taos News.

Current town contracts show KTAO/LUNA is paid up to $11,000 a year for advertising, with up to $13,500 going to The Taos News, not including legal ads. State law requires public bodies to publish legal notices in a newspaper of general circulation.

Córdova said the amounts for radio advertising were based on the number of stations each company owned, with each station receiving $5,500. The idea is to reach the varied demographics each station reaches, Córdova said.

“Logically, they [KTAO] have two stations, we [DMC] have four,” Córdova said.

Town manager Oscar Rodríguez called the contracts with

Town of Taos spending at mayor’s radio stations

The town spent $2,300 a year for ads before Mayor Darren Córdova was elected to the town council. The town paid DMC Broadcasting $10,400 for ads in calendar year 2006, when Córdova was elected mayor, then $22,600 in 2007 and $26,200 in 2008. Annual ad purchases have averaged $22,500 each year since. THE TAOS NEWS

DMC and other local media a “standing practice” that connects the town to its constituents. Rodríguez said the size of Taos’ budget for this kind of advertising is “middle of the road” when compared to other municipalities.

Since taking over as manager last year, Rodríguez has scrutinized a number of long-standing town contracts, insisting that contractors establish clear measures to judge whether they are spending public money wisely.

Rodríguez said he has not yet done a detailed review of the ad contract with DMC or other local media outlets. “I have much bigger line items to go after,” Rodríguez said.

Córdova said the Taos radio market is too small and diverse to get an accurate picture of each station’s ratings. He also said he could not provide ratings because DMC does not subscribe to ratings providers.

As part of the budget process each spring, the council is provided with details of how much each local media outlet receives over the fiscal year. The council approves the overall budget, but the individual contracts for ads

are executed by the town manager and do not require a direct vote of the council.

Under the current ad contract with DMC, it is up to Rodríguez to decide how much to advertise and when. Rodríguez works directly for the mayor and council, but he says he’s never been pressured by Córdova to push more ads to DMC. Córdova was equally adamant that he’s never pressured any town staff about the terms of ad contract.

In 2011, then-town councilor Gene Sánchez asked that the matter be discussed at a regular meeting during an ongoing and very public dispute with Córdova. Minutes from that meeting show Sánchez proposed that the ad budget for DMC and KTAO drop from a combined $33,000 down to $5,000 because he felt the amount of advertising was excessive.

The issue was discussed and some council members, including Michael Silva, said it deserved further review, but the issue does not appear to have been revisited in open meeting.

Silva said in an interview

this week he felt the issue was resolved because town staff had better control over when ads were run and on what stations.

Councilor Fred Peralta, who is running against Córdova in the municipal election next March, said he believed the payments to DMC have been legitimate, but he suggested the entire local ad budget could be spent more effectively.

Peralta said that even if it were legal, he said it wouldn’t be “proper” for him to do private business with the town while serving as an elected official.

As part of the contract, DMC asserted that it had no conflict of interest that would violate state law or the town’s purchasing policy.

State law prohibits a public employee from participating in procuring a contract if the employee or immediate family member has a financial interest in the contract.

The law allows for an exception as long as the connection has been publicly disclosed, the work can be done “without actual or apparent bias or favoritism” and the contract is “in the best interests” of the government.

Fall: Man also faces drunken-driving charge Continued from Page B-1 with his girlfriend until help arrived.

Jennifer Martinez was taken to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, where doctors were optimistic she was going to survive surgery for a blood clot. But the swelling in her brain increased, and she was pronounced dead at 9:40 p.m.

The couple had met at The University of New Mexico last year, Ariel Martinez said.

They were taking time off from school this semester. Ariel Martinez said her sister wanted to be an ophthalmologist.

Trujillo, she said, was a

respectful and loving boyfriend.

Angela Baca, Jennifer Martinez’s mother, added that he treated her daughter “like a queen.”

Ariel Martinez said Trujillo was devastated because “as [Jennifer] was dying, he was locked up.”

According to a police affidavit, Trujillo failed a field sobriety test at the scene. About an hour after the accident, a breath test showed he had a breath alcohol content of 0.06.

The legal limit for alcohol, when a person is presumed to be too drunk to drive, is 0.08.

The statement of probable cause says Trujillo admitted consuming a Dr Pepper with vodka hours before the acci-

dent. The amended statement of probable cause, however, says he told the officer at the scene he had consumed one beer two hours earlier.

Ariel Martinez said her sister and Trujillo, who lived with her, were only social drinkers.

“We don’t know if they were drinking or not,” she said, “because we came home and there’s no evidence of them drinking here, and there was nothing in the trash.”

Blood samples from both Trujillo and Martinez are being analyzed further.

Online jail records show Trujillo was released on a $10,000 bond Tuesday evening and is scheduled to appear in Magis-

trate Court on Dec. 4.

Trujillo’s lawyer, Dan Cron, said his client told him that the truck’s passenger door has malfunctioned in the past. “This is just a tragedy,” Cron said. “He loved her very much, and he’s just heartbroken by this.”

Ariel Martinez agreed, saying her family is “behind [Trujillo] 100 percent.”

A memorial service for Jennifer Martinez is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday at St. Anne’s Catholic Church. The funeral service is scheduled for 10 a.m.

Saturday at the same location.

Former Santa Fe man fatally beaten in Las Cruces; 2 people in custody LAS CRUCES — Police say two people are in custody in the beating death of a 37-year-old Las Cruces man during an altercation early Wednesday.

Police say responding officers found Jerome Saiz with multiple injuries to his face and head. He had been wrapped in a roll of carpet in his home on Princess Jeanne Drive.

Police spokesman Danny Trujillo says Saiz’s girlfriend, 28-year-old Rebecca Gomez, and another man, 27-year-old Leonard Espinosa Telles, have been charged with an open count of murder.

They also face charges of conspiracy and tampering with evidence. Investigators believe Saiz was hit with a baseball bat multiple times during an argument.

Police say Gomez’s daughters, ages 6 and 7, were home at the time.

Simon Saiz, Jerome’s brother, confirmed that the 37-year-old had grown up in Santa Fe, and had attended Santa Fe High School from 1990 to 1994. He also played on the school’s basketball team.

After graduating, Simon Saiz said Jerome Saiz moved to Phoenix where he worked as a electrician. He later returned to Santa Fe before moving to Las Cruces a few years ago.

SFCC leader defends record On administrative leave, Guzmán to speak before board

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Ana “Cha” Guzmán on Thursday defended the changes she has made at the Santa Fe Community College, while acknowledging that, as president, she has “ruffled quite a few feathers.”

Earlier this week, the college’s board voted 3-2 to place her on administrative leave for unspecified reasons.

Guzmán will tell her side of the story at a closed-door hearing Dec. 3 before the governing board.

The board hired Guzmán in the summer of 2012 for four

years at an annual salary of $196,000 to replace retiring president Sheila Ortego.

Since then, Guzmán and her supporters Ana ‘Cha’ have mainGuzmán tained that she has improved graduation rates, trimmed administrative staff, hired more teachers and raised salaries, among other achievements.

But her critics say her abrasive management style borders on bullying, and that she has not listened to the campus community when it comes to needed reform. At a board meeting Tuesday, nine people, at least eight of whom are college employees, spoke about

Guzmán: Five supported the board’s decision to put her on administrative leave; four opposed it.

On Thursday, Guzmán released a statement through her lawyer, Tim White of Albuquerque, in which she said she is saddened by the action of the board members who voted to place her on leave: Linda Siegle, Kathy Keith and Martha Romero. Board members Chris Abeyta and Andrea Bermúdez voted against the action.

She charged that those who resisted her changes had the ear of some members of the board, and that their “business as usual” attitude “poisoned the well for me from the start.”

Referring to Siegle, Keith and Romero, she wrote that if they are not interested in her brand of reform, “then I am truly sad for

the people who rely on the college to be an incubator for Santa Fe’s future workforce and talent.”

Guzmán’s contract gives the board the right to terminate her for just cause or because she is unable to fulfill the duties of her job. In such a case, her salary and all benefits would immediately stop.

But the contract also allows the board to terminate her if there is no just cause; in that case, it must pay her one year’s salary.

Four of the five board members did not return a call seeking comment Thursday. In an email, Siegle noted that “many factors go into the evaluation of a president.” She said because this is a personnel issue, she cannot discuss any details.

Denver pot businesses raided ahead of legal sales The Associated Press

DENVER — Federal agents raided an unknown number of marijuana dispensaries and growing sites on Thursday in Colorado, confiscating piles of marijuana plants and cartons of cannabis-infused drinks just weeks before the state allows sellers of recreational marijuana to open their doors.

The action appeared to send a message that federal authorities would be keeping a close watch on the industry as a state law legalizing pot is implemented.

The raids, conducted on a frigid, snowy morning, were the first in Colorado since the U.S. Department of Justice said in August that it wouldn’t interfere with state marijuana laws as long as the drug is kept away from children, the black market and other states, among other guidelines.

In a statement, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Denver said the criminal investigations unit of the Internal Revenue Service, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration and Denver authorities were involved in executing the sealed search and seizure warrants.

The raided businesses were suspected of violating more than one of the eight guidelines issued by the Justice Department.

time discuss the substance of this pending investigation, the operation underway today comports with the department’s recent guidance regarding marijuana enforcement matters,” spokesman Jeff Dorschner said in a statement.

Daria Serna, a spokeswoman for Colorado’s revenue department, which regulates the industry, said the agency was aware of the raids and would “continue to cooperate with the ongoing investigation.”

Retail marijuana sales are set to begin on Jan. 1 in Colorado, though not all municipalities will be ready to regulate sales by then. For now, dispensaries are supposed to sell only to people with medical permission to use the drug. Many of the state’s 500 or so existing dispensaries are making plans to convert to recreational sales.

At one of the raided dispensaries, VIP Cannabis in Denver, agents loaded boxes into a rental truck. One officer wore a surgical mask. Several operators, including some at VIP Cannabis, didn’t return calls

seeking comment.

In Boulder, agents raided a number of marijuana-growing warehouses, leaving a chest-

high pile of pot plants on the side of a road before loading them into trucks, The Daily Camera reported.

RURAL EXTENSION FUNDS NOW AVAILABLE FROM CENTURYLINK Rural New Mexico residential and small business customers located in developments of less than four units now have funds available to them through the Rural Extension Fund (REF) for Telephone Line Extensions. A Telephone Line Extension is necessary when CenturyLink (formerly Qwest) must construct new distribution cable in excess of 1,000 feet in order to supply primary telephone service at a street address where service was not previously available, and which would usually be charged to the customer.

When placing an order that includes Line Extension charges, eligible customers may receive a credit toward the construction of a line extension of up to $25,000 per order. Charges in excess of the $25,000 credit will be the responsibility of the customer placing the order.

Eligibility requirements are as follows: • Credits from the Rural Extension Fund are available to new and existing customers residing in developments of less than four (4) units. (The developer will be responsible for facilities in developments with four or more units.)

Schools: Educators rally outside Continued from Page B-1 tors rallied outside the Public Education Department building to draw attention to their concerns about testing and the state’s new teacher evaluation system, which relies heavily on students’ test results.

After his speech, Boyd acknowledged it’s “a tough time for teachers. A lot is being asked of them without a lot being given to them.”

Increasing the district’s graduation rate — about 62 percent — is one of Boyd’s goals. The district has about 600 seniors this year. He said the district is doing everything it can to support those seniors and make sure they meet graduation requirements so they can “walk across the stage” and earn their diploma next May.

Velocity Project selects 12 companies for ‘boot camp’ A dozen companies have been selected for a city-sponsored “boot camp” designed to help them grow their businesses.

Under the Velocity Project, sponsored by the Santa Fe Economic Development Division, the companies will participate in a series of workshops “with an extensive entrepreneurship curriculum,” a city news release said Wednesday.

The eight-week program, which is in its second year, runs from Jan. 24 to March 14.

At the end, “each company will present a product and/or company pitch to investors and the public during ‘Demo Day,’ ” the city said. Companies will also receive a $1,000 stipend for completing Demo Day. Seven companies participated in the first program, said Kate Noble, acting housing and economic development director.

“So far, we’re very pleased with what we’re seeing,” she said. “It’s a good format, frankly, for the entrepreneur of today because, just as in a fitness boot camp, they can commit to working really hard for a period of time and seeing what it gets

St. Mike’s star RB ready for playoffs

Lawyer: FSU QB Winston gave DNA to police

By Will Webber The New Mexican

The player with the most talked about ankle in Northern New Mexico is doing just fine, thank you very much.

As an aside, he’d like everyone to quit asking him about his ailing lower leg.

In fact, when he was asked about where, exactly, the ankle sprain was — high, low, which leg? — Daniel Ortega, the do-every-

thing star of the undefeated St. Michael’s football team, politely shifted the focus in a different direction.

“It’s doing better than it was,” he said.

“But where it was is an undisclosed area.

Top secret.”

Fair enough.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — There was a lot of finger-pointing Thursday in the sexual assault investigation involving Florida State’s Jameis Winston after a DNA report linking the quarterback to the alleged victim was leaked to the media.

Tim Jensen, Winston’s attorney, and State Attorney Wil- Jameis lie Meggs held news Winston conferences within minutes of one another. Jensen insinuated that the leak came from Meggs’ office, an assertion the state attorney denied.

Though it is still unclear who leaked the information, Jensen did reveal that Winston voluntarily gave a DNA sample to Tallahassee police last week, but said that even if it matches that of the alleged victim it wouldn’t mean his client raped the woman.

Jansen said the sex between Winston and the accuser “absolutely” was consensual, but then retreated when pressed by reporters who asked him to confirm what he just said.

“I’m not saying that,” Jansen said.

“I’m saying the eyewitnesses that were there will verify that any material that was found, or any evidence

LOBOS MENS BASKETBALL UNM 97, UAB 94

CHARLESTON, S.C. ew Mexico coach Craig Neal knew his team had guys capable of making big shots. At the Charleston Classic on Thursday, Neal watched three of his players hit 3-pointers to save the 19th-ranked Lobos.

Kendall Williams and Alex Kirk had late 3-pointers that forced a first and second time overtime and Cleveland Thomas hit a 3 to put New Mexico (3-0) up for good in a 97-94, double overtime thriller Thursday.

“It’s amazing,” Neal said. “I always thought if we’d get a shot at it we might have a guy hit a shot.”

Williams, who finished with 29 points, was first with the Lobos down 75-72 in regulation.

He ran around the right side and leapt high in the air as he released the ball, which swished through as time ran out.

There was no doubt, said Williams, that he would take the shot. He was less sure about its accuracy as he drifted right. “There must have been an angel up there,” he said.

New Mexico faced another deficit in the first overtime, down 86-81 to UAB (3-1). Then it was Kirk’s turn in the spotlight. He drew his team closer with a basket, then was left open on the top left side of the circle. Despite missing his first four 3-pointers, Kirk’s shot was true with 2.2 seconds left to force the second overtime.

“I can shoot it,” Kirk said. “I haven’t showed it very much, but I can shoot it.”

Kirk’s three-point play with 2:28 left in the second overtime looked as if it would finally be the back-breaker, putting New Mexico up 91-86. This time, it was UAB fighting back to tie as Chad Frazier had a three-point play and

obody asked, but it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be said.

Santa Fe High is about to make one of the most important arguments for its athletic program in its history — one that could have dire consequences for the city’s flagship school. The school will appeal its placement in District 1AAAAAA to the New Mexico Activities Association’s board of directors in two weeks, and it is needed.

If the decision was left to Santa Fe High, it would stay in Class James AAAAA (the Barron former AAAA Commentary starting next fall) — maybe forever.

But in the ever-evolving world of classification and alignment in New Mexico, nothing is forever.

But two years in its new district (1AAAAAA) might be two years too long for Santa Fe High. Its four future district foes (Rio Rancho, Rio Rancho Cleveland, Volcano Vista and Cibola) are among the 13 biggest in the state. Santa Fe High comes in with the 21st-largest student base.

Already, the heart palpitations among Santa Fe High coaches are off the charts, because they know what likely will happen in that district.

A lot of mercy-rule games, but very little mercy. Potential athletes steering clear of certain hallways where coaches roam, trying to find numbers to help them make a fairer fight. Or worse, those athletes opt to attend any school in the city other than Santa Fe High.

Then comes the worst possible outcome — athletic programs are

Wild: Lobos shooting well on 2-point goals Continued from Page B-5 Tosin Mahinti an inside shot.

But Thomas was left alone on his three-pointer with 39.5 seconds left and New Mexico held on.

UAB coach Jerod Haase said he had wanted his players to foul on the final play of regulation, but could not get it done.

He felt there was too much time after Kirk’s bucket to give New Mexico opportunities at points with the clock stopped.

“That was the plan,” he said.

“But it wasn’t executed properly.”

When it was over, Williams put his hands on his head in amazement. “This is a group that’s had a lot of success playing together and staying in games,” he said.

New Mexico moves on to play Massachusetts, a 96-90 winner over Nebraska earlier

Thursday. UAB falls into the consolation bracket and will take on the Cornhuskers on Friday.

Cameron Bairstow had 21 points and eight rebounds for New Mexico before fouling out in regulation. Kirk had 16 points and 11 rebounds, until he, too, fouled out with two minutes left in the second overtime.

Frazier finished with a career-high 34 points while Rod Rucker had 18 points and a career-best 20 rebounds.

Rucker went 12 of 13 from the foul line.

UAB looked as if it had the game wrapped up in both regulation and the first overtime.

New Mexico had played just twice coming into the eightteam event with a couple of blowout victories over Alabama A&M and Charleston Southern to start the year.

Then again, when you’ve got

four starters back from last year’s Mountain West champions who went 29-6 a year, it’s easy to count on lopsided wins.

And the Lobos are led by their big men in Bairstow and Kirk. The two had identical 9-of-13 shooting performances in the 109-93 victory over Charleston Southern last Sunday night.

New Mexico is shooting 65.8 percent on two-point goals — second best in the country behind Utah — as its guards have successfully fed the 7-foot Kirk and 6-9 Bairstow this season.

That’s a good game plan for Neal to follow, one that worked well during Steve Alford’s six seasons with the Lobos before he left to take over UCLA this season.

Neal helped New Mexico average 24 wins a year as Alford’s assistant and he’s try-

ing to keep that going as the man in charge.

UAB made that difficult throughout the opening-round game.

The Lobos were ahead 35-26 at the break and were still in front 49-40 when the Blazers rallied to move in front down the stretch.

Neal’s college coach at Georgia Tech, Bobby Cremins, was on hand to watch at TD Arena, the building on the College of Charleston campus. Cremins coached Charleston for six seasons before stepping away in 2012.

Neal wanted to get his players home and ready for what he expects will be another fast-paced battle with UMass, which didn’t need any extra sessions to post 96 points.

“We’ll just need to get some rest,” he said. “Our guys know what they have to do.”

Miller, Florida State wear down No. 10 VCU The Associated Press

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Ian Miller scored 22 points and Devon Bookert added 18 to help Florida State cruise past No. 10 VCU 85-67 on ThursFlorida St. 85 day night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. VCU 67 The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. Montay Brandon added 14 points and 11 rebounds.

NO. 12 WISCONSIN 88, BOWLING GREEN 64 In Madison, Wis., Ben Brust scored 19 points to lead six Wisconsin players in double figures against Bowling Green.

Freshman guard Ike Iroegbu had 20 points to lead cold-shooting Washington State (2-1). DaVonte Lacy added 14.

NO. 14 MICHIGAN 85, LONG BEACH STATE 61 Nik Stauskas scored 24 points, Caris LeVert had 20 and Michigan made a tournament-record 14 3-pointers in beating scrappy Long Beach State in the first round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Michigan led by 18 in the first half before the margin was trimmed to 10 with less than 9 minutes to play. But the Wolverines (3-1) were able to hold on thanks to all the long-range jumpers. Stauskas and LeVert hit four 3s apiece.

NO. 16 FLORIDA 79, MIDDLE TENNESSEE 59 In Gainesville, Fla., Patric Young scored 16 points, one of six Florida players in double figures against Middle Tennessee.

The Gators won their 19th consecutive game at home, this one thanks to a dominant start to the second half.

Florida (4-1) came out of the locker room

and outscored the Blue Raiders 18-6 over the first 5½ minutes. DeVon Walker got the run started with a 3-pointer, and then the Gators went inside.

NO. 18 CONNECTICUT 72, BOSTON COLLEGE 70 In New York, Ryan Boatwright made two big free throws with 7.9 seconds to play and blocked a 3-point attempt at the buzzer as Connecticut held off Boston College in the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project.

DeAndre Daniels had 23 points to lead the Huskies (5-0), who play the winner of the Washington-Indiana game for the title on Friday night at Madison Square Garden.

Shabazz Napier had 20 points for Connecticut, which led most of the way.

NO. 25 MARQUETTE 58, NEW HAMPSHIRE 53 In Milwaukee, Chris Otule and Todd Mayo each scored 16 points to help Marquette withstand a scare from New Hampshire.

Jamil Wilson added nine points, three steals and two blocks for the Golden Eagles (3-1), who shot just 32.7 percent (17 of 52) from the floor — including 13.6 percent (3 for 22) from 3-point range.

Playoffs: St. Mike’s has won 35 of 36 games Continued from Page B-5 AAA state playoffs, is that Ortega is back to full speed.

After sitting out the final game of the regular season against Albuquerque Hope Christian, and then again during the team’s bye week to open the postseason, the senior running back-linebacker appeared to be back to full speed during Thursday’s practice at the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex.

On more than one occasion he ran the team’s wildcat offense, meandering his way through the scout team defense as coaches and teammates playfully barked about how he was allowed to use no more than one cutback per run.

He was originally injured three weeks ago during a game at Albuquerque Academy. The team persevered without him, beating Academy and then getting a late touchdown to hold off Hope.

St. Michael’s head coach Joey Fernandez said 13 players skipped all or part of that Hope game due to injuries. Most of them will be back for the next

game this weekend.

The Horsemen put their school-record 23-game winning streak on the line Saturday afternoon when Las Vegas Robertson (6-5) visits Santa Fe for the AAA quarterfinals. The teams met back in September, a game dominated from start to finish by a St. Michael’s program that is the clear-cut favorite to win another state championship.

“I think it’s actually easier to sneak up on people than play the role of favorite,” Fernandez said. “We’ve had to do it both ways and I like being the underdog instead.”

Truth is, the Horsemen haven’t been an underdog at any point in each of the last two-plus seasons. They’ve won 35 of their last 36 games and are gunning for their fourth state championship in 11 years.

In Robertson they face a team that has won five of its last seven after taking that 50-0 thumping at the Christian Brothers Athletic Complex in September. They pounded No. 8 Portales 36-0 in last week’s opening round and pre-

ceded that with a 53-0 rout of West Las Vegas in the regular season finale.

The Cardinals also appear to be back to full strength. They were without junior running back Dominic Lucero for the game two months ago. Coupled with senior James Gonzales, the pair has rushed for 2,364 and 30 touchdowns this season.

While Gonzales has more yardage — 1,210 in 11 games to Lucero’s 1,154 in nine — Fernandez said the key to the redbirds’ offense is clearly Lucero.

“He’s a tough kid and he makes that team better,” Fernandez said. “He plays hard and you have to prepare for that.”

The teams also have to prepare for the weather. Fernandez warned his players about the possibility of playing Saturday’s game in the snow, something that seems almost a certainty for the two area teams taking the field tonight.

Taos visits Bloomfield in the Four Corners area while Pojoaque Valley travels to Ruidoso.

Friday’s forecast threatens

to make both of those games a cold, miserable experience for the ill-prepared. When asked about it earlier this week, Pojoaque had coach John Ainsworth said it’s all just part of the playoff experience.

“If we have to play in snow, we’ll play in snow,” he said.

“Me, I’d rather have the green grass and not be on the road when it’s coming down.”

Hope visits Silver in Friday’s other quarterfinal. The semifinals will be Thanksgiving weekend.

Should Taos and St. Michael’s pair off in the semis, a coin flip would be required to determine home field advantage since the two have never met in the playoffs. If the Horsemen face Bloomfield, the game will be in Santa Fe. “I’m just happy to be back out here,” Ortega said as he walked off the practice field on Thursday. “Watching that last game was torture. I guess I could have played if it were the playoffs. Now that it is the playoffs, I’m playing no matter what.”

Hearing over; Rodriguez decision likely in January

By Ronald Blum

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez’s grievance hearing to overturn his 211-game suspension ended Thursday when both sides rested their cases, a day after the New York Yankees third baseman angrily walked out and decided not to testify in his own defense.

The sides set a schedule to file briefs and reply briefs next month, which will close the record and submit the matter to arbitrator Fredric Horowitz.

His decision on whether to uphold or alter the discipline for the three-time AL MVP likely will be made in January, a person familiar with the proceedings told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.

Rodriguez’s lawyers already are vowing to challenge the ruling in federal court, where judges usually are reticent to overturn an arbitration decision unless there is a finding the arbitrator was biased, exceeded his authority or failed to comply with the

rules agreed to by the parties.

The exact timing of a decision is uncertain. Baseball’s Joint Drug Agreement states the arbitrator shall make “all reasonable efforts” to close the record in time to permit a decision within 25 days of the start of the hearing. But in this case, the hearing began Sept. 30, making that timetable impossible to meet.

After the arbitrator renders

his decision, the written opinion is to be issued within 30 days. It is unclear if Horowitz will issue his written opinion simultaneously with his decision.

The timing of the case could complicate planning for the Yankees, who don’t know if they will have to pay Rodriguez his $25 million salary and are unsure whether they will need a different starting third baseman.

Winston: Lawyer says the test results have no impact on case Continued from Page B-5 that was found, is consistent with him [doing] nothing wrong.”

ESPN first reported Wednesday night that Winston’s DNA matched a sample taken from the underwear of the accuser.

Jansen said he has not seen the results of the DNA tests and found out watching television.

“All I know is it’s very suspicious that the only news reporting agency that [State Attorney] Willie Meggs met privately with yesterday in his office was the one that reported that last night on television,” Jansen said. “And that would be ESPN.” Meggs held a press conference minutes after Jensen’s and denied that he — or anyone in his office — released the DNA information to the media. He called the release of the information “problematic.”

He said he did not know who the source of information was for ESPN. Tallahassee Police Department spokesman David Northway told The Associated Press that the leak did not come from the police.

Meggs, who has been the lead prosecutor in the Tallahassee area for nearly 30 years, also refused to discuss the results or any other “evidence” that was part of the case.

But Meggs did acknowledge that prosecutors have issued subpoenas in order to collect evidence for the ongoing investigation.

Jansen said he’s surprised the DNA results were leaked by law enforcement but, “this DNA has no impact whatsoever on this case. The two eyewitnesses that were present will exonerate” Winston.

Jansen said the DNA of one of the eyewitnesses was also taken in the last week by investigators.

“We’re not surprised [Winston’s] DNA was found,” Jansen said. “We anticipated that would be found. We’ve never ever said he wasn’t there. We never said any of that.”

Meggs would not answer directly why DNA was taken from one of the witnesses, or whether or not there is a now a possibility of multiple suspects in the case.

But Meggs said his office was “trying to find all the relevant facts in the case” and that he did not want someone to

question later what evidence was or wasn’t gathered.

Winston, 19, was a top freshman recruit and backup quarterback at the time of the alleged December 2012 assault.

The 6-foot-4, 225-pound redshirt freshman is now a Heisman Trophy candidate and the Seminoles are the secondranked football team in the country.

Florida State has maintained during the investigation that Winston’s status has not changed and he is expected to start Saturday when the Seminoles host Idaho.

Tallahassee police handed over information to prosecutors last week about the 11-month-old case after two media organizations began requesting records associated with the incident.

Meggs said Thursday that prosecutors have made “a lot of progress” in their investigation, but would not say if, or when, prosecutors planned to interview the woman who has accused Winston of sexual assault.

“Hopefully we will have a decision about what we will do in the very near future,” Meggs said.

throughout his life.

“I don’t know if I look at things differently. Maybe they just became more important to me and more conscious to me going forward,” he said. “As corny as this sounds, I get up in the morning and I feel I’m going to live each day as it comes. I don’t take any day for granted. I don’t take the next morning for granted. What I look for each day is beauty, meaning and joy, and if I can find beauty, meaning and joy, that’s a good day.”

Weiner first experienced weakness and tingling on his right side in July 2012 and was diagnosed with a glioma the following month. By June 2013, he had experienced a rapid increase in symptoms. As he sat in a wheelchair in foul territory at Citi Field the following month before the All-Star game, players lined up to speak with him.

Known for wearing blue jeans and Converse Chuck Taylor AllStar sneakers to work, Weiner’s easygoing manner with players was a change from former head Donald Fehr’s more lawyerly approach. His style connected both with players and the students he taught during Sunday school at his synagogue.

Weiner is survived by his wife, the former Diane Margolin, and daughters Margie, Grace and Sally. Funeral arrangements were pending.

50 years later, youth reflect on the impact of

JFK

MY VIEW

Country strays from Kennedy’s vision, wisdom

By Aaron Stevens Generation Next

O

n Jan. 20, 1961, President John F. Kennedy gave his only inaugural address, still one of the most memorable in U.S. history. In the wake of an exceedingly close presidential race with Republican opponent Richard Nixon, Kennedy in his speech emphasized the arrival of a new era of global American leadership, one that would begin at home with bipartisan collaboration. He called for greater participation from the voting public, anchoring the speech on one legendary line: “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

Kennedy’s request has lost much of its gravitas in the ensuing 52 years. Political apathy and even antipathy have become more common as the federal government grows further and further disconnected from the people it intends to serve.

Ominous revelations surrounding the National Security Agency’s monitoring of millions of Americans and foreigners have left many people wondering if our government has totally overstepped its bounds. President Barack Obama’s expanded use of his executive powers — including authorizing drone strikes with no oversight — draws a similar reaction.

In a peculiarly duality, not only does the Washington establishment seem too powerful, it seems to be largely inept at serving the American public. An intensely polarizing debate over the health insurance mandate passed into law in 2010 played a huge role in the government shutdown last month. Subsequent struggles with the healthcare.gov website have only compounded the shortcomings of our government.

The general public, aided by mass media reports, has detached itself from government.

We don’t see the errors of our elected officials as a reflection of our own poor decision-making.

Instead, we place vague blame on huge corporations and small radicalized elements within our population. We ask why the government can’t do things right, and why it spends so much money, and we refuse to take on any sort of accountability for the actions of our elected officials. We even refuse to vote for them, setting record lows in voter turnout.

So “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country,” has been truly reversed to the point of being irreparable. It seems like an idealistic, pithy platitude now: something clever but meaningless, advice that no modern-day politician would use for fear of being thrown out of office. With 50 years of hindsight, Kennedy’s words may be interpreted as a warning rather than a request.

If we don’t ask, even rhetorically, what we can do for our country, then our country cannot do anything for us.

It’s interesting that in the heady days of November 2008, Obama was being heralded as the next Kennedy: A fresh-faced transcendent leader who could break White House barriers and be beholden to no party line or establishment. Five years later, even then-ardent Obama supporters recognize that our commander in chief hasn’t lived up to that lofty comparison.

Thankfully for the American public, hope springs eternal — a hope that one day we may see Kennedy’s inaugural wisdom as a popular requirement rather than an unpopular option and that leaders who rival him will emerge from this dark period of American politics.

SPEAK OUT What do you think of JFK? Skye Franklin, New Mexico School for the Arts “I guess he did some pretty cool stuff. I don’t know specifically what. I understand that he did good things, but I also heard he cheated on his wife. I don’t have a strong opinion about him.”

Marisol TorresO’Neal, Santa Fe High School “I think he was a really gutsy person for driving around in Texas in a convertible, even though it resulted in his death.”

Eugene Matias, New Mexico School for the Arts “I think he was a natural and charismatic leader who fought for civil rights and instated a sense of hope through America. Also Jackie O., his wife, was beautiful.”

Qing Wenes, Santa Fe High School “He was like the only attractive president, but he wasn’t attractive.”

Connor Griswold, Academy for Technology and the Classics “I think of a young man who had new ideas and revolutionized America.

He was very dedicated to the people.”

Sadie Wiese, Santa Fe Prep “I think he was a good president. I don’t really know that much about him.”

KENNEDY MUST-READS Posner reaffirms Oswald theory

Hundreds, if not thousands, of theories about who killed President John F. Kennedy have emerged in the 50 years since his assassination on Nov. 22, 1963. The Soviet Union, anti- or pro-Castro Cubans, the Mafia, and even the Central Intelligence Agency have been accused by conspiracy theorists of plotting the events at Dealey Plaza in Dallas that fateful day. The Warren Commission Report, an investigatory body set up within a week of the assassination, concluded in its 889-page report to President Lyndon B. Johnson that a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, killed Kennedy on his own.

Gerald Posner’s Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination

E

xactly 50 years ago today, the nation felt crippled as it heard the news that President John F. Kennedy had been shot by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas while campaigning for a second term.

Kennedy died shortly thereafter.

As time passed, people questioned what JFK could have accomplished with another term in office. Yet throughout the years, we can see the lasting influences that JFK had on our nation and our youth.

P.J. Liebson, an Advanced Placement history teacher at St. Michael’s High School, was a college student at the time of Kennedy’s assassination. “I remember the assassination very clearly as most people then do,” she said. “I was not particularly a supporter of his or an opponent, but I was hit by his death as so many people were.”

She remains keenly aware of the impact JFK’s actions have on us today. She recently posed this question to her students: “What effects did JFK have on your generation?” She explained, “Almost unanimously they spoke about the Civil Rights Act of 1964, even though they realized it was put into place after Kennedy’s assassination once Lyndon B. Johnson became president. But most of the students gave credit to Kennedy for getting the ball rolling, even though sometimes reluctantly. They recognized, even though none of these particular students are African Americans, that the expansion of civil rights impacts them, too. They are very concerned with any time that they perceive injustice, and they have a strong sense of right and wrong.”

One student brought up NASA (actually started in the late 1950s), and Kennedy’s boast to send a man to the moon by the end of the 1960s, but none of them mentioned the Vietnam War. Kennedy authorized the expansion of military force in that nation, even though the war itself did not “officially” begin until 1964.

Leibson said, “It may seem like ancient history, but I think we are still very much living with the impact of Vietnam on our national psyche. The concern about the civil war in Syria, and some people have proposed that we should actually send in troops. And what’s the response? ‘No, we don’t want another Vietnam.’ So that lives in my mind and of course losing more than 50,000 American service lives — including one of my high school classmates.”

At the time of Kennedy’s assassination, Richard Stolley was the Los Angeles bureau chief for Life magazine. He arrived in Dallas with a fellow reporter and two photographers around the same that that JFK’s body was being flown to Washington, D.C., aboard Air Force One. Stolley may remain best known for negotiating the rights to

of JFK sets out to reaffirm the findings of Judge Earl Warren and company and provide conclusive, if exhaustive, evidence that Oswald did act alone.

Meticulously researched using declassified American and Soviet documents, Case Closed is part impassioned argument and part biography of Oswald.

Posner carefully analyzes every step of Oswald’s life from his childhood in New Orleans and New York City to his time in the Soviet Union, noting with footnotes and asterisks where notable conspiracy theorists have gone astray with their views.

Case Closed takes the reader to the day of the assassination, following Oswald’s every step. Posner also put together a 10-page appendix diagramming the exact position and timing of each of the three shots that Oswald fired. Case Closed tries to sort through the muddle of immediate post-murder investigations by both the FBI and the Dallas Police

Abraham Zapruder film of the JFK assassination for Life. The film played a major role during the Warren Commission Report — the investigation into Kennedy’s assassination to determine if Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone — launched by president Johnson just days after JFK was killed. Life owned the film rights for some time before giving them back to the Kennedy family, Stolley said.

“The impact on America at the time, of course, was huge,” Stolley, who now lives in Santa Fe, told Generation Next. “I talked to a lot of people who were in school at the time, and they described their teachers bursting into tears in the classroom. On the Monday of the funeral, where the president was buried in Arlington [National Cemetery], the country literally stopped and watched TV. Now over the years, needless to say, the impact has diminished. Anybody who was alive or above the age of 3 or 4 vividly remembers where they were when they heard the news that the president had been killed.”

In Stolley’s view, JFK accomplished many things that impacted America. But to him, the most prevalent are Kennedy’s early push for civil rights and his expansion of the space program that established America as a worthy competitor to the Soviet space program. But Stolley remains concerned that despite the impact of books, television and the Internet, many youth are unaware how directly Kennedy shaped the world around them.

“It was his idea to put a man on the moon and the whole American space program,” Stolley said.

“He’s not only the only one, by any means, but it got much of its inspiration from him. In civil rights, before he was killed, he said he wanted two civil rights bills: One in voting and one to get rid of what was then called Jim Crow laws — separate black and white drinking fountains, bathrooms, and blacks having to sit in the back of the bus; that kind of thing. He didn’t live long enough to get that to Congress but Lyndon Johnson put both bills through Congress and all of America is different as a result of that, and that idea was Kennedy’s.”

Kennedy also initiated the Peace Corps in 1961 after challenging youth of his time to give back not just to their country but to the world. As of this year, more than 210,000 volunteers have served in various countries for the Peace Corps.

Where once it mainly attracted older teens and people in their early 20s, the average age of a Peace Corps volunteer today is closer to 30.

Still, we can only ponder whether our country and world would be different had Kennedy served another four-year term in office. Stolley will speak about Kennedy with fellow Life journalist Hal Wingo at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 22, at the Lensic Performing Arts Center on West San Francisco Street. Seating is free on a first-come, first-served basis.

Department and follows Oswald’s capture and subsequent murder at the hands of nightclub owner Jack Ruby.

Ultimately, Posner’s book lives up to its title — though the book first came out 20 years ago, it should work to completely close the Kennedy assassination case.

Aaron Stevens

O’Reilly pens JFK adventure Think what you want of right-wing talk-show host Bill O’Reilly, but he is a fantastic author who specializes in history. I picked up a copy of O’Reilly’s 2012 book Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot and was instantly taken on a historical adventure. In the book, O’Reilly teams up with Martin Dugard to focus on the story of Kennedy’s last

months in a linear time line that reads more like a good story than historical text. The most riveting aspect of the book is that it takes the reader inside the mind of Kennedy as he goes through the ups and downs of this period of his first term in office.

The book includes stark descriptions of important figures in Kennedy’s life, including his assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, his vice president, Lyndon B. Johnson, and his close confidante and brother, Attorney General Robert “Bobby” Kennedy — with whom the president shared a sometimes rocky relationship.

O’Reilly and Dugard make JFK’s history highly entertaining. Killing Kennedy reads like a work of fiction, one that makes history exciting to experience. O’Reilly seems to like writing about famous historical figures who have been killed. Among his other books are Killing Jesus and Killing Lincoln, and based on my reading of Killing Kennedy, I’d like to read them too.

Roommate leaves dog in crate all day

Dear Annie: I recently moved into an apartment with a longtime friend. We both have dogs, but I was misled about hers. He is 15 months old and not trained.

My roommate has no time for the dog. She takes college classes and works two part-time jobs. The dog usually sits in a crate all day. She rarely takes him out and doesn’t feed him regularly. When she does take him out, she is too tired to exercise him, which means he goes nuts in the apartment, peeing everywhere and chewing up the furniture — which is mine. He tried to bite me last week.

He also barks incessantly, and her solution is to put a muzzle on him.

My roommate takes no responsibility and blames me, saying I am making the dog uncomfortable.

I feel so bad for this animal. I’ve asked her repeatedly to spend more time with the dog and train him, but she hasn’t. I cannot live in my own apartment. Now we have a ruined friendship and eight months left on a lease. Help! — Dogged Out Dear Dogged: It is unfair to you that this animal is not trained, but we would consider it abuse to keep the dog in a crate all day, not exercising, feeding or disciplining him appropriately. Present your roommate with a bill for the ruined furniture, and then report her to the humane society. She is not capable of caring for this animal. The friendship may be over, but you can still protect the dog.

Dear Annie: I have lupus, but because I usually look OK, people assume I’m doing fine. I am part of a small group of Christian ladies.

Often, I’m unable to attend because I’m not well. I notify our group’s coordinator and tell her specifically what is wrong that day — headache, fatigue, achiness, etc. — so that the ladies can pray for me. No one has ever called to check on me afterward.

Our group has provided meals for families when one woman had

By late afternoon, you will have an escape plan in place. Tonight: Be unstoppable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others want your opinion. Information coming in, as well as knowledge you already have, suggests that you shouldn’t make any sudden moves. Tonight: With a loved one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Tie up all loose ends on a project, clear your desk and schedule a late lunch meeting. Tonight: Surround yourself with friends, and notice a special admirer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH If you can take the day off, do. You will discover how important it can be to take some downtime for yourself. Tonight: Let the party go on.

Hocus Focus

emergency surgery and two others had bouts with cancer. Yet, no one has ever offered to bring my family a meal. My husband’s job limits the time he can assist me. Many days, we order takeout because I don’t have the energy to cook.

The women know this, but I’m an outgoing, positive person, so they don’t see the pain I endure daily. I’m thinking of leaving the group because it causes me stress, but they are otherwise wonderful women. I think they simply don’t understand. Am I wrong to feel this way? — Sick and Confused Dear Sick: There is no right or wrong to how you feel. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that damages joints, skin, kidneys, blood, heart and lungs. The women may not understand the severity of your illness. But the other part of the problem is that the disease is ongoing. Emergency surgeries and bouts with cancer are finite. It’s easier to bring meals when you know it won’t be forever. You could voice your hurts to these women, or you could look for support elsewhere.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Little Doctor,” the ob-gyn who is too “busy and forgetful” to remember patients’ names and uses an all-purpose term of endearment, claiming it makes the patient “feel relaxed and comfortable.”

I am also a busy doctor, but I address each patient by name and also review their medications, lab test results and notes from the last visit. I can’t imagine anyone could feel comfortable and relaxed knowing the doctor was so busy and forgetful that he calls you by a generic endearment. It is disrespectful and a red flag. How can such a busy, forgetful doctor be alert and responsive to issues that pertain to a patient’s health? — Conscientious Doctor
