Medical cannabis misuse? Budget Sanctions against doctor could test limits of state’s regulations NEWS ANALYSIS

fight is risky one for GOP

By David Espo

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Under relentless pressure from their right wing, Republicans are in the midst of a risky fight with President Barack Obama they know they will lose, little more than a year before an election that history says they should win.

To minimize the damage, the party must redefine victory as something less than a full defunding of the 3-year-old health care law, yet persuade the most conservative GOP supporters that Republican lawmakers succumbed after a principled fight. All without triggering a government shutdown or a default by the Treasury, or otherwise offending independents whose ballots will settle the 2014 elections.

Already, party leaders are making that effort.

“I just don’t happen to think filibustering a bill that defunds Obamacare is the best route to defunding Obamacare,” Sen. Mitch McConnell said archly Tuesday. “All it does is shut down the government and keep Obamacare funded.”

That was one day after rejecting the path outlined by the party’s rebel-in-chief, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — who began a speaking marathon on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon in which he said politicians in both parties rou-

n the six years since New Mexico legalized medical marijuana, Dr. Nicholas Nardacci has cleared more than 1,000 patients to use it — a tenth of all the patients certified across the state in that period — for conditions ranging from cancer to multiple sclerosis to post-traumatic stress disorder.

He even uses it himself to treat chronic back pain.

But now the New Mexico Medical Board has suspended Nardacci’s license, claiming among other violations that he certified patients without proper documentation and that he examined and treated patients while

under the influence of marijuana himself.

Nardacci is the first practitioner to be sanctioned by the board on allegations of misusing the state’s 2007 medical cannabis law, in a case that could represent one of the first tests of the law’s limits. Another practitioner who received a notice of contemplated action entered into a settlement agreement with the board.

Nardacci, who is appealing the Medical Board’s decision to state District Court, claims the case against him is not supported by the board’s own investigation and is rife with conflicts of interest. He also asserts the campaign against him is really an effort by the Medical Board to show that New Mexico has tight over-

Geronimo owner plans new eatery at old O’Keeffe Café

The old O’Keeffe Café, which closed more than two years ago in part because of a struggling economy in downtown Santa Fe, is reopening as Georgia’s Museum Café. New owner Lloyd Abrams said Tuesday he is gutting and completely restoring the building adjacent to the O’Keeffe Museum.

Abrams, owner of the upscale Geronimo Restaurant on Canyon Road, said Tuesday that his Conroad Associates LP bought the

Some greeted the news as a hopeful sign that a period of turmoil for downtown restaurants and bars could be easing as the economy slowly recovers, even as some properties remain vacant.

“It’s a very thin case,” Nardacci said. “But they needed a target to put in the paper and say, ‘We are doing a good job; we are tough with our program.’ So they got me. They rolled me under the bus to make an example of somebody so they can show the program is tight.

“I’m ruined because of this,” he added. “With this on my record, I can’t work at a popcorn stand.”

Melynn Schuyler has seen many Santa Fe young people fall through the cracks once they drop out of the public-school system.

As executive director of YouthWorks, a Santa Fe nonprofit devoted to helping disenfranchised youth, Schuyler hopes the new Transitional Education Program housed at Zona del Sol will stop that downward spiral.

“Young people get crushed when they don’t fit,” she said. “My hope is that they will fit and that everyone involved in creating that program is aimed at a positive approach. Not ‘You have to work your way back,’ but rather, ‘We believe in your potential.’ ” At 3 p.m. Wednesday, representatives from YouthWorks, the city of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Public Schools and other local entities will join for a public event to lay out plans for the collaborative Transitional Education Program, expected to open in January.

The project is designed to give students who are serving long-term school suspensions a chance to reconnect to the system in a smaller, more personalized learning

LAS VEGAS, Nev. — The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed suit against Houston-based retailer Mattress Firm this week, saying company officials made life difficult for older employees in Las Vegas, Nev., as part of a systematic effort to replace them with younger workers.

The age discrimination complaint filed Monday in federal court in Nevada names the large chain and 15 unspecified people as defendants.

Friends and family of Navy Yard shooting victim John Johnson remembered him Tuesday as a religious family man known for his infectious smile and firm bear hugs at his funeral service at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gaithersburg, Md. His was one of four funerals held for victims of the massacre at the Washington Navy Yard. Mourners who attended Johnson’s crowded funeral said the warm recollections of an affable and optimistic family man underscored the tragedy of the shooting that killed 13 last week, including the gunman.

Local officials said they were sending doctors, food and 1,000 tents for people who had nowhere to sleep as strong aftershocks continued to shake the region.

Most of the victims were killed when their houses collapsed, according to the chief spokesman for the country’s National Disaster Management Authority, Mirza Kamran Zia, who gave the death toll.

He warned that the toll might rise and said the agency was still trying to get information from the stricken area.

“Ultimately, older workers felt compelled to quit or were otherwise forced out.”

Mattress Firm officials at the company’s Houston headquarters didn’t immediately provide comment to The Associated Press on Tuesday.

EEOC officials claim the discrimination began when Mattress Firm acquired a Las Vegas chain, Bedtime Mattress, in March 2007. Almost all the employees in the Las Vegas stores were 40 or older at the time of the acquisition, but within five months, only a quarter of the staff was 40 or older, according to the suit.

Bum wipes blamed for sewer clogs

In brief

BEIRUT — Syrian opposition groups and international relief organizations are warning of the risk of mass starvation across the country, especially in the besieged Damascus suburbs where a gas attack killed hundreds last month.

With the world’s attention focused on the regime’s chemical weapons, activists said six people — including an 18-month girl — have died for lack of food in one of the stricken suburbs in recent weeks.

Save the Children said in an appeal Monday that more than 4 million Syrians, more than half of them children, do not have enough to eat. Food shortages have been compounded by an explosion in prices.

Thousands of people are believed trapped in suburbs east and west of the capital that have been held for months by rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad. Regime troops are besieging the areas, and residents say food is increasingly had to find. Rebels say they are trying to break the blockade.

BEMUS POINT, N.Y. — Increasingly popular bathroom wipes — pre-moistened towelettes that are often advertised as flushable — are being blamed for creating clogs and backups in sewer systems around the nation.

Wastewater authorities say wipes may go down the toilet, but even many labeled flushable aren’t breaking down as they course through the sewer system.

That’s costing some municipalities millions of dollars to dispatch crews to unclog pipes and pumps and to replace and upgrade machinery.

The problem got so bad in this western New York community this summer that sewer officials set up traps — basket strainers in sections of pipe leading to an oft-clogged pump — to figure out which households the wipes were coming from. They mailed letters and then pleaded in person for residents to stop flushing them.

“We could knock on the door and say, ‘Listen, this problem is coming right from your house,’ ” said Tom Walsh, senior project coordinator at South & Center Chautauqua Lake Sewer Districts, which was dispatching crews at least once a week to clear a grinder pump that would seize up trying to shred the fibrous wipes.

The National Association of Clean Water Agencies, which represents 300 wastewater agencies, says it has been hearing complaints about wipes from sewer systems big and small for about the past four years.

That roughly coincides with the ramped-up marketing of the “flushable cleansing cloths” as a cleaner, fresher option than dry toilet paper alone. A trade group says wipes are a $6 billion-a-year industry, with sales of consumer wipes increasing nearly 5 percent a year since 2007 and expected to grow at a rate of 6 percent annually for the next five years.

One popular brand, Cottonelle, has a campaign called “Let’s talk about your bum” and ads showing people trying to wash their hair with no water. It ends with the tagline: “You can’t clean your hair without water, so why clean your bum that way?”

Manufacturers insist wipes labeled flushable aren’t the problem, pointing instead to baby and other cleaning wipes marked as nonflushable that are often being used by adults.

“My team regularly goes sewer diving” to analyze what’s causing problems, said Trina McCormick, a senior manager at Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Cottonelle. “We’ve seen the majority, 90 percent in fact, are items that are not supposed to be flushed, like paper towels, feminine products or baby wipes.”

Wastewater officials agree that wipes, many of which are made from plastic, aren’t the only culprits but say their problems have escalated with the wipes market.

The problem got worldwide attention in July when London sewer officials reported removing a 15-ton “bus-sized lump” of wrongly flushed grease and wet wipes, dubbed the “fatberg.”

The Association of the Nonwoven Fabrics Industry, the trade group known as INDA, recently revised voluntary guidelines and specified seven tests for manufacturers to use to determine which wipes to call flushable. It also recommends a universal do-not-flush logo — a crossed-out stick figure and toilet — be prominently displayed on non-dispersible products.

The wastewater industry would prefer mandatory guidelines and a say in what’s included but supports the INDA initiatives as a start. Three major wastewater associations issued a joint statement with INDA last week to signal a desire to reach a consensus on flushability standards.

Focus turns to Veronica’s stability Oklahoma high court returns Cherokee child to adoptive parents; dad’s options end

By Meg Kinnard

The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Veronica’s entire 4-year-old life has been lived at the center of a protracted custody dispute between her biological Native American father and a couple in South Carolina chosen as adoptive parents by her mother.

Now that the legal fight is over, the struggle to create a normal existence for the young Cherokee girl begins.

Late Monday, the Oklahoma Supreme Court declined to uphold a stay keeping Veronica with her father, Dusten Brown, and ordered that custody be turned over to Matt and Melanie Capobianco of Charleston.

The Capobiancos began the long journey back from Oklahoma to Veronica’s new permanent home following the resolution of a yearslong battle involving questions of jurisdiction and tribal sovereignty in both Native American and U.S. courts.

When they get home, their topmost priority should be creating the stable life that Veronica has lacked in her first four years of life, experts say.

“The saga she’s been through really seems to be this tragic tale of law and adults who talk about the best interest of the child but don’t seem to be doing what’s in the best interest of the child,” said Dr. Naranjan Karnik, a specialist in child and adolescent psychiatry at Chicago’s Rush University.

“Kids always know when there’s uncertainty in the air. To not know where your home is going to be is the most unsettling thing.”

Dr. Philip Fisher, a psychologist specializing in childhood trauma at the University of Oregon, agrees. He notes that children who have been in unsettled home environments, such as shuttling between different houses or families, can suffer. At 4 years old, traumatic changes can actually hamper development in the part of the brain that helps someone make good decisions, Fisher said.

Veronica was born Sept. 15, 2009, to an unwed, non-Native American mother in Oklahoma who decided to give her up for adoption and chose the Capobiancos in South Carolina as her adoptive parents.

But Brown also had petitioned for custody

Veronica Brown A crowd of supporters of the Dusten Brown family pray Monday night in Tahlequah, Okla.

MIKE BROWN/TULSA WORLD

shortly after her birth, and in December 2011, after Veronica had lived with the Capobiancos for a little more than two years, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled in the father’s favor. The court said that under the Indian Child Welfare Act, it was in the little girl’s best interest to be raised by her biological father because of his Native American heritage. Consequently, Veronica went to live with Brown in Oklahoma.

Two more years passed, and this past summer, the tables turned again: The U.S. Supreme Court — responding to a challenge from the Capobiancos to the South Carolina court’s decision — ruled that the Indian Child Welfare Act did not apply in this case because Brown had been absent from the child’s life. The South Carolina courts finalized the couple’s adoption and ordered Brown to hand Veronica over. Two Oklahoma courts certified the order.

But Brown wasn’t done. He was still hoping that the Oklahoma Supreme Court would refuse to lift a stay that was in place to keep Veronica with him. The court declined the request, and Veronica was transferred Monday night to the Capobiancos.

Justice Noma Gurich dissented.

“We cannot ignore the fact that [Veronica], at the age of 27 months, has already been moved from one set of ‘parents’ to another, after lengthy judicial consideration of her best interests,” Gurich wrote. “Under the issues present to this court, an immediate change of custody without any consideration of her best interests will require a four-year-old child to resolve her feelings of loss and grief for a second time.”

The Cherokee Nation fought on Brown’s

behalf for permanent custody, but late Monday, the tribe’s attorney general, Todd Hembree, indicated the fight was over. In a statement, Hembree expressed hope that the Capobiancos would “honor their word” to allow Brown to be remain an important part of the girl’s life.

“We also look forward to her visiting the Cherokee Nation for many years to come, for she is always welcome,” he added.

The Capobiancos have repeatedly said they wanted to honor Veronica’s Cherokee heritage, and at one point, with the help of several adoption consultants and experts, they laid out a transition plan that included keeping Brown in Veronica’s life. But the most recent negotiations on a settlement for shared custody or visitations broke down Monday, a few hours before the Oklahoma court ruled. Details of the proposed compromise were not publicly released.

In the short term, perhaps the most important thing will be to reacquaint Veronica with the people who will raise her.

Given her age when she left South Carolina, and the two years that have passed since, both Fisher and Karnik say it is unlikely she remembers much of her time with the Capobiancos previously.

In a statement released Tuesday, the couple said they had been able to visit Veronica, which “allowed us to reconnect as a family and ease her transition home.”

The Capobiancos also acknowledged the disappointment of Veronica’s biological father and the Cherokee Nation.

“While we are overjoyed to bring Veronica home, we sympathize with the Brown family during this difficult time,” they said.

Syria hands over document on chemical weapons storage sites UNITED NATIONS — Signaling that he may be serious about giving up his chemical weapons, Syrian President Bashar Assad has disclosed the locations of dozens of poison gas production and storage sites to international inspectors, according to Western officials.

Officials familiar with Assad’s disclosure — the first step in complying with an ambitious U.S.-Russian plan to seize, remove or destroy his arsenal of chemical weapons by mid2014 — described it Tuesday as “a serious document” that comprises scores of pages and is surprisingly thorough.

Information in the closely guarded document roughly tracks with U.S. intelligence estimates that Syria has about 45 sites used to produce or store illicit blister agents or neurotox-

ins. Nearly half those sites are believed to contain chemical agents that could be used in artillery rockets and other munitions.

Syria submitted the declaration last weekend to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the implementation and compliance arm of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Until two weeks ago, Assad had refused to acknowledge that his military possessed chemical warfare agents.

U.S. officials have said Syria’s disclosure would be the first test of its willingness to comply with a Sept. 14 agreement in Geneva between the United States and Russia, Assad’s most powerful ally, that shelved the threat of U.S. airstrikes if he agreed to relinquish the toxic weapons program. Officials said that for now it appeared Assad had met the test.

The disclosure may buy Assad some breathing room as the United States, Britain and France negotiate with Russia over a U.N. Security Council resolution to enforce the agreement. Russia has rebuffed U.S. efforts to invoke Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which can be used to authorize military force in case of noncompliance.

Secretary of State John F. Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov continued tough talks on the language of the resolution, haggling for 90 minutes Tuesday afternoon on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York. Although an agreement still appeared far off, a senior State Department official said afterward, “We made progress today.”

U.S. to sign international arms treaty despite NRA protests The United States will sign the international Arms Trade Treaty on Wednesday, agreeing to the accord to stem the flow of weapons to human rights violators and conflict zones, over the strong opposition of the U.S. gun lobby, according to a senior State Department official.

The treaty, to be signed by Secretary of State John Kerry on behalf of President Barack Obama, requires countries to put in place a system for keeping track of transfers of conventional weapons, from battle tanks and warships to small arms, and to ensure they are not sold to countries that are under international arms embargoes, that promote genocide or war crimes, or that might use them against pro-

tected civilians.

The National Rifle Association has said the treaty will be used to regulate civilian weapons and to create an “unacceptable” registry of civilian firearms purchasers.

The administration disagrees.

The main purpose of the treaty is to “stem the international, illegal and illicit trade in conventional weapons that benefits terrorists and rogue agents,” said the officialg.

The treaty will go into effect once it is signed and ratified by at least 50 U.N. member states.

The United States will be the 89th country to sign the treaty, which was adopted in a 153-3 vote, with 20 abstentions, in April.

WASHINGTON — If the House and Senate can’t agree on a government funding bill by Sept. 30, the federal government will shut down. And, right now, the House and Senate can’t agree on a bill. They’re wrangling over the Affordable Care Act. So, it’s time to start thinking about what a federal government shutdown would actually look like.

Not all government functions would simply evaporate come Oct. 1 — Social Security checks would still get mailed, and veterans’ hospitals would stay open. But many federal agencies would shut their doors and send their employees home, from the Department of Education to hundreds of national parks.

Here’s a look at how a shutdown would work, which parts of the government would close, and which parts of the economy might be affected.

Question: Wait, what? Why is the federal government on the verge of shutting down?

Answer: There are wide swaths of the federal government that need to be funded each year in order to operate. If Congress can’t agree on how to fund them, they have to close down.

And, right now, Congress can’t agree on how to fund them.

To get a bit more specific: Each year, the House and Senate is supposed to agree on 12 appropriations bills to fund the federal agencies and set spending priorities. Congress has become really bad at passing these bills, so in recent years they’ve resorted to stopgap budgets to keep the government funded (known as “continuing resolutions”). The last stopgap passed on March 28, 2013, and ends on Sept. 30.

Question: Does a shutdown mean everyone who works for the federal government has to go home?

Answer: No. The laws and regulations governing shutdowns separate federal workers into “essential” and “non-essential.”

The Office of Management and Budget recently ordered managers at all federal agencies to conduct reviews to see which of their employees fall into each of these two categories. If a shutdown hits, the essential workers stick around, albeit without pay.

The non-essential workers have to go home after a half-day of preparing to close shop.

Question: Which parts of government stay open?

Answer: There are a bunch of key government functions that carry on during a shutdown, including anything related to national security, public safety, or programs written into permanent law (like Social Security).

Here’s a partial list: u Any employee or office that “provides for the national security, including the conduct of foreign relations essential to the national security or the safety of life and property.”

That means the U.S. military will keep operating, for one. u Any employee who conducts “essential activities to the extent that they protect life and property.” So, for example: Air traffic control stays open.

Emergency medical care also continues, as do food-safety inspections, border patrol, federal prisons, law enforcement, emergency and disaster assistance, oversight of the banking system, operation the power grid and the guarding of federal property. u Agencies have to keep sending out benefits and operating programs that are written into permanent law or get multi-year funding. That means sending out Social Security checks and providing certain types of veterans’ benefits. u All agencies with independent sources of funding remain open, including the U.S. Postal Service and the Federal Reserve. u Congress also stays open, since its

funding is written into permanent law.

Some White House employees may have to go home, however.

Question: Do these “essential” employees who keep working get paid?

Answer: They don’t get a paycheck during the shutdown. They do, however, receive retroactive pay if and when Congress decides to fund the government again.

Question: So which parts of government actually shut down?

Answer: Everything else, basically.

We can see what happened in 1995 and 1996, the last two times the government actually shut down for a few weeks. These examples all come from a big Congressional Research Service report: u Health: The National Institutes of Health stopped accepting new patients for clinical research and stopped answering hotline calls about medial questions. The Centers for Disease Control stopped monitoring disease. u Law enforcement: The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms stopped processing applications for firearms and alcohol. The federal government stopped work on about 3,500 bankruptcy cases as well as a number of child-support cases. The Border Patrol put a hold on hiring 400 new agents. u Parks and museums: The National Park Service closed 368 sites, such as Yosemite National Park in California. All told, some 7 million visitors were turned away. (One big exception was the south rim of the Grand Canyon, which stayed open only because Arizona agreed to pick up the tab.) u Regulatory agencies: The Environmental Protection Agency closes down almost entirely during a shutdown. So do certain financial regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Although corporations can still file documents like 10Ks through automated systems, there’s no one around to scrutinize the paperwork. u Small parts of Social Security: During the last shutdown, the Social Security Administration was able to keep on enough employees to make sure the checks kept going out. But the agency didn’t have enough staff to do things like answer phone calls or help recipients who needed to change addresses. So some disruptions are possible. u Visas and passports: During the shutdown, around 20,000 to 30,000 applications from foreigners for visas went unprocessed each day. The State Department also had to let some 200,000 applications from Americans for visas gather dust. u Veterans: Although some key benefits continued and the VA hospitals remained open, “multiple services were curtailed, ranging from health and welfare to finance and travel.”

Question: How many federal employees would be affected by a government shutdown?

Answer: Roughly half. Back in 2011, the government estimated that 1.2 million federal employees (out of 2 million or so) would likely get furloughed and sent home without pay in the event of a shutdown.

Question: Do “non-essential employees” who get sent home ever get paid?

Answer: That’s unclear. On the first day of the shutdown, these employees do have to come to their offices to secure various files and make preparations necessary to halt their programs.

The last time this happened, Congress later agreed to pay these employees retroactively when the government reopened. But that’s completely up to Congress.

Question: Is the government even prepared for a shutdown?

Answer: As mentioned before, the Office of Management and Budget has asked federal agencies to develop

contingency plans for a shutdown.

But chaos is certainly possible. Back during the 1995 shutdown, the Social Security Administration initially sent home far too many workers and had to recall 50,000 of them after three days in order to carry out its legal duties.

Question: Which parts of the economy would be most affected by a shutdown?

Answer: In a research note earlier this week, Chris Krueger of Guggenheim Partners passed along some thoughts about the possible economic impacts of a shutdown in a few areas: u Tourism: U.S. tourist industries and airlines reportedly sustained millions of dollars in losses during the 1995 and 1996 shutdowns, in part because foreign visas were going unprocessed and in part because so many parks were shutting down. The passport and visa holdup can also disrupt business trips, both here and abroad. u Federal contractors. Of the $18 billion in federal contracts in the D.C. area back in 1995-1996, about one-fifth, or $3.7 billion, were put on hold during the shutdown. Employees of contractors were reportedly furloughed without pay. u Energy. The federal government would have to take a break from working on drilling permits and processing applications for liquefied natural gas exports. u Pharma and biotech. This one’s hard to game out. The Food and Drug Administration didn’t have to shut down in 1995 and 1996 because it was already funded. This time around, however, the FDA won’t be spared, and the review process for new drugs might get bogged down. The shutdown could also put a cramp on the grant process from the National Institutes of Health. “If prolonged,” Krueger writes, “that could negatively impact life sciences/diagnostics companies.

Question: Would a government shutdown stop “Obamacare” from happening?

Answer: Nope. The key parts of Obamacare rely on mandatory spending that isn’t affected by a shutdown.

“That includes the new online marketplaces, known as exchanges, where uninsured people will be able to shop for coverage. The Medicaid expansion is funded with mandatory funding, as are the billions in federal tax credits to help with purchasing coverage.” The government would continue to set these up.

Question: How do you end a government shutdown?

Answer: Congress needs to pass a bill (or bills) to fund the government, and the White House has to sign them.

They can do this at any time. Or they can sit at home and keep the government closed. Nothing requires them to do anything. It depends what sort of political pressure they’re facing.

Question: Is a government shutdown the same thing as breaching the debt ceiling?

Answer: Nope! Different type of crisis. In a government shutdown, the federal government is not allowed to make any new spending commitments (save for all the exceptions noted above).

By contrast, if we hit the debtceiling then the Treasury Department won’t be able to borrow money to pay for spending that Congress has already approved. In that case, either Congress will have to lift the debt ceiling or the federal government will have to default on some of its bills, possibly including payments to bondholders. That could trigger big disruptions in the financial markets — or a long-term rise in borrowing costs.

The Bipartisan Policy Center estimates that we’re on pace to breach the debt ceiling sometime between Oct. 18 and Nov. 5. So if a government shutdown isn’t thrilling enough for you, good news: There’s another fiscal crisis just around the corner.

Cafe: New owner will restore building Continued from Page A-1 well positioned to be successful, and Mr. Abrams’ experience will be a great advantage to the enterprise.”

Abrams will seek approval from the City Council at its Wednesday meeting to transfer to the new restaurant a liquor license formerly used at Stats Sports Bar, at the corner of Palace and Grant avenues.

The O’Keeffe Café previously had a liquor license, but Abrams needs a waiver from state law that prohibits the sale of alcohol within 300 feet of schools and churches. The planned Georgia’s Museum Café, at 223 and 225 Johnson St., is about 283 feet from First Presbyterian Church and Preschool at 208 and 210 Grant Ave., measuring from the boundary of one property to the boundary of the other.

In a letter to Harry Eberts, the pastor of First Presbyterian Church,

Abrams said the new restaurant would be equal in quality to the old O’Keeffe Café. Moreover, “The clientele coming to the new restaurant will be much more sophisticated than those that frequented Stats Sports Bar, and the restaurant will not be open past the normal dinner hours.”

Eberts said he signed a letter saying the church has no objection to the transfer of the liquor license after a unanimous vote of the governing board. Eberts said there wasn’t much discussion, and the church was “glad to be good neighbors for this.”

Abrams acquired Geronimo after its owner filed for bankruptcy in 2008, according to a previous story in The New Mexican. The restaurant’s upscale menu offers such choices as elk tenderloin ($42), naturally raised lamb chops ($45) and green miso sea bass ($37).

The east-side restaurant has won AAA’s Four Diamonds award and Forbes

Travel Guide’s Four Star award.

The state’s Alcohol and Gaming Commission granted preliminary approval for the liquor license transfer to the new cafe Aug. 15.

The name on the liquor license application is Geronimo Hospitality, a registered New Mexico corporation, at 907 Camino Santander.

The new restaurant offers 2,932 square feet of seating in the building as well as seating in a courtyard.

Abrams described the building as having “serious structural problems and Building Code issues.”

Its renovation, he said in the letter to Eberts, “will return vibrancy to Johnson Street, benefit other merchants in the area, and generate revenues for the City and County.”

The O’Keeffe Café closed in October 2011. Owner Michael O’Reilly said at the time that people weren’t going out as much on special occa-

$50 or $60 at the O’Keeffe.

probe, Nardacci admits his office was inspected and that he was ordered to correct some paperwork deficiencies. But he said the incident took place 10 years ago and seemed more like a routine inspection of his office than an investigation, which is why he didn’t list it on the form for a medical license renewal.

Some of the allegations against Nardacci center on the issue of whether his judgment was clouded by his own use of medical marijuana.

At the request of the Medical Board, Nardacci underwent a neuropsychological evaluation.

The examination concluded Nardacci had some memory, attention and concentration scores that “were lower than what would generally be expected for a physician,” and that he might have tried to “fake good” to “make himself look better than he actually might have been.”

However, the neuropsychologist who conducted the evaluation wrote in his report that Nardacci was not affected “to the degree that would preclude [him] from continuing to practice medicine.”

According to the hearing officer’s report, Rosenberg stated that after reviewing a portion of Nardacci’s records, he believed the records reflected “errors in judgment by [Nardacci] and do not show an understanding of basic medicine or how portions of the medical records relate to the certification of patients for to the Medical Cannabis Program.”

However, the report also notes, “Based on the records he reviewed, Dr. Rosenberg did not see any demonstration

of actual harm to a patient as a consequence of the patient’s certification for the use of medical cannabis.”

The board has suspended Nardacci’s license and ordered that he successfully complete a competency evaluation at the Center for Personalized Education for Physicians, or a comparable program approved by the board, before he can petition to have his license reinstated at the discretion of the board.

The board’s order does say he can obtain a limited license, which would allow him to practice under a supervising physician.

Elizabeth Grace, medical director for the Denver branch of the Center for Personalized Education for Physicians, said the assessment process usually lasts two to three days and costs $8,750 or more, depending on the specialty of the physician being evaluated. The assessment includes cognitive function screening, clinical reviews, chart reviews and simulated patient encounters, Grace said, and is designed to evaluate any deficiencies in the physician’s abilities.

The assessment identifies areas of weakness and recommends education or training to remedy them, Grace said, adding that the entire process from evaluation to recommendation usually takes three to five months.

Nardacci also has been ordered to pay the Medical Board’s legal fees in the case, which total $9,772.

environment that will blend online coursework with inclass instruction. It will serve students in grades 7-12 for up to a full semester — enough time, it is hoped, to allow them to catch up and then transition back to their school.

The program will be able to handle up to 50 students at a time, according to Michael Hagele, secondary school reform facilitator for the district. For now, the program is aimed at students who are not tied up in the judicial system due to infractions linked to their long-term suspensions.

Two teachers will staff the center, which will operate on a regular school schedule of about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The district is budgeting about $62,000 per teacher per year and will also fund computers for the program. The city and Zona del Sol will provide the facility rent-free to the district.

Chris Sanchez, the city’s Children and Youth Commission manager, said that while the collaborators involved are still working out the rest of the budget and resource details, program will include “wraparound” social services. For example, if a student is suspended for substance abuse, the program would address

that issue with either counseling or substance-abuse education.

He said the commission funds about 35 programs in the city, and those resources can be realigned to support the Transitional Education Center.

Robert Helman, a counselor at the Academy at Larragoite — which provides alternative e-learning opportunities for high school students — said he worked at a similar facility in Los Angeles from 1993 to 1999.

Although he isn’t directly involved in the new Santa Fe program, he said, he believes students undergoing long-term suspensions can be turned around by such opportunities.

“Everybody has to coordinate and work together to make it happen,” he said. “It has to be a push from the district, a push from the city and a push from parents.”

The Transitional Education Program is one of several initiatives the school district is creating as part of its secondary education reform plan. It also plans eight or nine career academies and an International Baccalaureate magnet school, among other offerings.

Zona del Sol is located at the intersection of Jaguar Drive and Country Club Road.

NAIROBI, Kenya — The bloody siege of an upscale mall by Islamist militants ended Tuesday with five of the attackers dead and 11 taken into custody, amid fears that the death toll of more than 60 civilians could substantially rise when authorities begin searching through the wreckage.

“As a nation, our head is bloodied but unbowed,” Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said in a televised address, declaring three days of mourning. “We have ashamed and defeated our attackers.”

But the assault at the Westgate Premier Shopping Mall could also bolster the image of al-Shabab, the al-Qaida-linked Somali militia that asserted responsibility for the attack, at a time when it has been weakened by a loss of territory in Somalia and violent infighting. The 10 to 15 attackers managed to prolong the standoff in the international spotlight for four days, highlighting their demands for Kenya to withdraw its troops from Somalia. Such a feat, analysts said, could give the militia more credibility in global jihadist circles, attracting more funds and recruits to fuel its ambitions to become a significant international jihadist group.

The storming of the mall Saturday has already been widely praised on jihadist websites and social media, according to the SITE Monitoring Service, which tracks statements of extremist groups. It was the deadliest attack in Kenya since the U.S. Embassy bombing in 1998 killed more than 200.

“The Westgate mall attack demonstrates that al-Shabab remains a significant regional threat and presumably will mean more support from radical sympathizers,” said E. J. Hogendoorn, Africa deputy program director for the International Crisis Group, a respected think tank. “Whether this will arrest the group’s decline remains to be seen. The group has been weakened and this is an attempt to reverse that trend.”

But analysts said a backlash against the group was also possible, especially if Somalis living in Kenya and elsewhere in the region now face greater scrutiny from authorities. The militia’s popularity in Somalia was already waning, and Somali religious leaders denounced it this month as having no place in Islam.

The official death toll of 62 civilians and six members of the security forces was reduced by one civilian Tuesday. But Kenyatta said three floors of the mall collapsed during the operation and that bodies were trapped under the rubble. The Kenyan Red Cross said as many as 65 civilians reported to have been inside the mall

remain missing, suggesting that the death toll could rise sharply in the days ahead.

Kenyatta said he could not confirm reports by Kenya’s foreign minister that several American and British citizens were among the heavily armed attackers. But he promised a full accounting of what happened, adding that experts are conducting forensic tests to determine the nationalities of the assailants.

It also remained uncertain whether the security operation was completely over: Government officials said security forces were still combing the mall for any explosives or booby traps left by the militants.

Witnesses said some of the attackers may have slipped out in the chaos, and the Kenyan government said 10 suspects were detained at the airport.

Many analysts said that such a wellplanned attack could not have taken place without a network of accomplices and financiers inside Kenya.

“These cowards will meet justice as will their accomplices and patrons, wherever they are,” Kenyatta said.

The announcement that the siege was over came only hours after al-Shabab, whose name in Arabic means “The Youth,” claimed that its fighters had the upper hand. A parallel tussle had unfolded on Twitter between the militants and the government, as each side tried to counter the other’s version of events.

Al-Shabab tweeted earlier Tuesday that it was still holding hostages, who were “looking quite disconcerted but nevertheless, alive.” An earlier al-Shabab tweet said: “Mujahideen are still holding their ground #westgate.”

But Kenyan officials offered a different account, saying they believed that all of the hostages had been released. “We’re very

near the end,” the Interior Ministry posted on Twitter at noon.

The conflicting statements underscored the struggle Kenyan security forces faced throughout the crisis. The military deployed helicopters, planes and armored personnel carriers and sought help from U.S., European and Israeli security advisers. Yet the militants remained resilient for four days.

The mall, a labyrinthine 350,000-square-foot complex, proved an invaluable asset for the militants, affording them numerous hiding places, food and supplies.

In Somalia, al-Shabab runs a brutal campaign against fellow Muslims, implementing strict Islamic sharia law enforced by public stonings, amputations and beatings for anything it deems un-Islamic, including smoking and the wearing of bras. But witnesses said the militants at the mall targeted non-Muslims and allowed many Muslims to walk out, suggesting they wanted to appeal to radical Muslims and perhaps al-Qaida’s leadership in Pakistan.

This month, al-Qaida leader Ayman AlZawahari released a document in which he gave guidelines for waging jihad. In it, he instructed fighters not to target Muslims and to take the citizens of nations who have invaded Muslim countries as hostages.

Whatever the motive, the siege was praised widely in online global jihadist forums. According to SITE, on a wellknown forum called al-Fida, one extremist wrote: “The operation is a successful blow by the mujahideen brothers from all aspects: the security effort, the planning, the execution, and the selection of the target with precision.”

Another lauded the militants as “lions” who had recorded “the most magnificent epics of sacrifice and redemption in the midst of the land of the Crusaders.”

WASHINGTON — Top scientists from a variety of fields say they are about as certain that global warming is a real, man-made threat as they are that cigarettes kill.

They are as sure about climate change as they are about the age of the universe. They say they are more certain about climate change than they are that vitamins make you healthy or that dioxin in Superfund sites is dangerous.

They’ll even put a number on how certain they are about climate change. But that number isn’t 100 percent. It’s 95 percent.

And for some non-scientists, that’s just not good enough.

There’s a mismatch between what scientists say about how certain they are and what the general public thinks the experts mean, specialists say.

That is an issue because this week, scientists from around the world have gathered in Stockholm for a meeting of a U.N. panel on climate change, and they will probably release a report saying it is “extremely likely” — which they define in footnotes as 95 percent certain — that humans are mostly to blame for temperatures that have climbed since 1951.

Some climate-change deniers have looked at 95 percent and scoffed. After all, most people wouldn’t get on a plane that had only a 95 percent certainty of landing safely, risk experts say.

But in science, 95 percent certainty is often considered the gold standard for certainty.

“Uncertainty is inherent in every scientific judgment,” said Johns Hopkins University epidemiologist Thomas Burke.

“Will the sun come up in the morning?” Scientists know the

answer is yes, but they can’t really say so with 100 percent certainty because there are so many factors out there that are not quite understood or under control.

George Gray, director of the Center for Risk Science and Public Health at George Washington University, said that demanding absolute proof on things such as climate doesn’t make sense.

“There’s a group of people who seem to think that when scientists say they are uncertain, we shouldn’t do anything,” said Gray, who was chief scientist for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency during the George W. Bush administration. “That’s crazy. We’re uncertain and we buy insurance.”

Scientists said gravity is a good example of something more certain than climate change. Climate change “is not as sure as if you drop a stone it will hit the Earth,” Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer said.

Arizona State University physicist Lawrence Krauss said the 95 percent quoted for climate change is equivalent to the current certainty among physicists that the universe is 13.8 billion years old.

Jeff Severinghaus, a geoscientist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, said that through the use of radioactive isotopes, scientists are more than 99 percent sure that much of the carbon in the air has human fingerprints on it. And because of basic physics, scientists are 99 percent certain that carbon traps heat in what is called the greenhouse effect. But the role of nature and all sorts of other factors bring the number down to 95 percent when you want to say that the majority of the warming is human-caused, he said.

COMMENTARY: DOYLE MCMANUS

Counting down to a shutdown ‘‘T he American people don’t want the government shut down, and they don’t want Obamacare. The House has listened to the American people.”

That’s what Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said at the GOP’s victory rally Friday after the House voted to pass a spending bill that cut all funding for the president’s health care law — and took the country one step closer to a government shutdown on Oct. 1.

The American people, alas, weren’t in the room to speak for themselves. But was Boehner right about their desires? Polls show that most Americans are, not surprisingly, divided.

Yes, a majority doesn’t like Obamacare. They’re unsure about what it will do and worried that it might make their health care worse. But do they really want to defund the law, and risk the chaos of a government shutdown to do it? Probably not, most polls suggest.

As one Republican pollster told me, though a majority of voters don’t like Obamacare, they’re not angry enough about it to risk a fiscal crisis that could hurt the economy.

So why are Republican lawmakers hearing a different message? Because most of them represent districts so conservative that they are listening only to their own choir.

“It’s clear where the public in my district is,” said Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., a tea party firebrand. “They want Obamacare repealed. They want it defunded. They want it dismantled.”

Bridenstine, a Navy Reserve pilot from Tulsa, is probably right. In his solidly Republican district, Mitt Romney won two-thirds of the vote in the last presidential election.

A visit to the House side of Capitol Hill these days feels a bit like an excursion to an alternate universe, where the voters are all conservative, the will of the American people is crystal clear and the only mystery is how that Obama fellow ever got re-elected.

“This is all a result of redistricting,” a Republican strategist told me. “The only election these guys have to

Bonus for teachers isn’t a solution

T worry about is the Republican primary. The only danger they face is from the right.”

According to ratings compiled by Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia, only 28 of the House’s 233 Republicans have even a theoretical chance of losing their seats to a Democrat next year; the other 205 are safe as long as they win their primaries. (The same is true of most House Democrats, of course.)

Outside the conservative bubble of the House GOP conference, the politics of the budget standoff look different.

Karl Rove, former political adviser to George W. Bush, has warned that the only winner in a government shutdown would be Obama. “This is one thing that can rescue him,” Rove said on Fox News.

In the Senate, Republicans acknowledge there is almost no chance of passing legislation to defund Obamacare, the president’s most cherished achievement. Even Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the loudest champion of the defund Obamacare movement, agreed on that last week, landing him in hot water with the House conservatives he was urging to plunge ahead.

The entire strategy, warned Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., is “a box canyon” for Republicans — a trap with no way out but retreat.

Cruz and other tea party senators have vowed to

filibuster to block the Senate from approving a spending bill that doesn’t defund Obamacare, but Senate rules make that difficult. So the Senate is expected to strip the Obamacare provision and kick the bill back to the House, where Boehner and his Republicans will consider their next move.

They might make a dignified retreat and pass the Senate version before the Sept. 30 deadline. Or, more likely, they might engage in another round of legislative pingpong, in which doomed proposals bounce between the two branches of Congress as the clock runs out. One veteran budget guru, Stan Collender of Qorvis Communications, puts the chances of a government shutdown at 70 percent.

And that’s not even the worst possible outcome. Boehner and his lieutenants have told House members that the current battle over the spending bill is only a preliminary bout.

The real fight, they’ve said, will be over the debt ceiling — the government’s authority to borrow money to pay its bills, which is expected to run out in October or November.

Once again, conservatives have begun telling one another that the American people would welcome the crisis if it resulted in less federal spending and the end of Obamacare.

They argue that a debt-ceiling

standoff wouldn’t force the federal government to default on its debts and throw the world economy into crisis; the Treasury, they say, could keep paying bondholders and stop most of its other checks. Even if that were possible (and the Treasury Department says it isn’t), the world’s lenders would almost certainly downgrade Uncle Sam’s credit rating, imposing higher interest costs on the federal budget for years to come.

This may sound like just another round of Washington’s recurring impasse, but this time the prospects for a quick solution look worse. The Republicans have chosen to demand the one concession Obama is least likely to make: the crippling of Obamacare. And the GOP’s chief deal maker, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is battling a primary challenge on his right, which means he’s not eager to play the role of middleman this year.

When Boehner described what the American people want from Congress, he left one thing out: They also want their government to solve problems, even if that sometimes requires an uncomfortable dose of compromise.

They aren’t seeing much of that from the House of Representatives this year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A humble pope doesn’t change church’s teachings

P

ope Francis has become the loving pastor for the world. He has thrown the doors of the church wide open; inviting all sinners to come in and join him, who himself is a sinner seeking forgiveness. He is basically a humble genius, who knows that when a person begins a relationship with Jesus, everything else falls into place. His humility gives him the courage to be spontaneous with the truth. However, as he said, he is a “son of the church,” and nothing he said changes the teaching of the church.

school plan. A site visit revealed that the massive structure would stick out like a sore thumb and be visible from all of northeast Santa Fe. Dr. Boyd provided leadership. The neighbors were supportive of the school, and the school supportive of the neighbors’ concerns. In just a couple of weeks, there was a solution to this difficult problem.

The Santa Fe County courthouse, the state parking lot, Carlos Gilbert Elementary School and Atalaya are recent governmental projects where the city’s Early Neighborhood Notification and Historic Review process were not followed. The designs were inconsistent with the area.

After public outcry, the designs were changed, resulting in delay, expenses and an improved design that still was well short of desirable.

This pattern needs to change so that input is early, the design better, with delays and expenses avoided.

he trouble with education reform is finding that elusive mix of what works. It’s clear that parenting matters, good teaching matters and an effective principal matters. It’s also true that smart curriculum is necessary. Since being elected governor, Susana Martinez has directed much effort at improving the state’s public schools. Programs, though, do not always translate into effective policy, and ideas that sound good in sound bites don’t necessarily work in practice.

Take what sounds like a great idea — offer teachers a $5,000 bonus to leave excellent schools to work at schools that are not as successful. The idea, of course, is that teachers make the difference in whether students succeed. A compliment, finally, to teachers. (The governor’s stipend program also is offering $5,000 to teachers who get more students to pass Advanced Placement test. That one makes more sense.) We have concerns, however, about the first program — and we’re pleased to hear Santa Fe teachers don’t appear to be falling for it.

For one thing, the teaching transfers would take effect this school year. As Santa Fe school board member Steve Carrillo rightly pointed out last week, the program upsets classrooms. One teacher will leave and another will show up. The underlying premise of this bonus program is wrong, too. Excellence is accorded to schools that earn an A under the state Public Education Department’s complex formula (which no one, not even bureaucrats, understand).

“Failing” are those schools that receive a D or an F from the state report card. As one Albuquerque teacher told reporter Robert Nott: “It’s based on the idea that the state’s school grades are valid and that they actually show the effectiveness of a teacher. They don’t.” Teachers at D-F schools often are the most dedicated, hard-working and talented. They just are dealing with children who have further to go. A bonus more properly would focus on where a child starts and finishes, rewarding teachers for how far they take students.

What’s more, the notion that a letter grade can capture all the nuances of what happens at a school is ridiculous.

We said, when Martinez and her Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera unveiled the school grades, that at least a letter grade is easy to understand. However, we also have said that the way these grades are figured — how the A or F is reached — is so complicated and unwieldy as to render the grades meaningless.

Because what isn’t said enough, but remains true, is that the A schools generally comprise students from affluent families. F schools generally have poorer children. Schools don’t succeed, children from educated families succeed, and that is true all over the country. Paying a teacher $5,000 to switch schools will not change that reality, reducing this policy to a sound bite, not a solution.

The stand is practically completed and forms a striking addition to the Plaza. There are four steps, of concrete, leading up to the stand, and graceful columns of red spruce form a circular “hall” where music will be discoursed. The Plaza, too, has taken on a new appearance. Hundreds and hundreds of square yards of concrete walk greet the eyes where formerly was adobe earth, quite annoying on a muddy or snowy day.

Sept. 25, 1963: Four members of the Fiesta Council told the city today they have resigned from the governing body of the 250-year-old civic celebration, “because we cannot subscribe to certain procedures and because Fiesta no longer belongs to the people of Santa Fe.” Police Chief A.B.

He could not be reached for comment on the Catholic Church’s action of two days ago in withdrawing from participation in Fiesta de Santa Fe or for comment on the resignations today.

In a letter mailed to the attorneys in the case, District Judge Roger Copple said the complaint filed in court by Jose Damian Eturriaga and Jacobo “Jake” Salazar was not valid because it was not filed within 15 days after the Democratic primary and did not specify what damages were done to them. Copple said the charges could not be refilled in district court. In their complaint Eturriaga and Salazar said they lost the Democratic nominations to Cecilia R. Valdez and Joe B. Romero, respectively, because of fraudulent absentee ballots. Valdez and Romero had been endorsed by Rio Arriba political boss Emilio Naranjo.

Mary Pickford film found in barn is restored

By Holly Ramer

The Associated Press

C

arpenter Peter Massie has come across some interesting finds over the years — antique bottles, old newspapers stuffed in walls. But his biggest discovery of all is the only known copy of a 1911 Mary Pickford movie that marked a turning point in the silent film star’s career.

The Library of Congress is funding a project to restore the film, titled Their First Misunderstanding, and it will be shown next month at Keene (New Hampshire) State College, where a retired professor has overseen the restoration.

The film is the first for which Pickford was given credit in the advertising materials. Before that, movie studios didn’t want actors to become household names because they’d demand more money, said Pickford scholar Christel Schmidt, editor of Mary Pickford: Queen of the Movies.

Massie, who discovered the film along with six other vintage reels in a New Hampshire barn he was tearing down in 2006, is looking forward to seeing it. “This is the coolest thing I’ve ever found on any job,” he said.

The property where Massie found the films apparently used to be a summer camp for boys, and the movies were probably shown to entertain the campers, said Larry Benaquist, who founded the film program at Keene State.

Pickford, known as “America’s Sweetheart,” was one of Hollywood’s earliest stars.

She was a co-founder of the United Artists film studio and helped establish the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She retired from acting in 1933 and died in 1979.

The 10-minute comedydrama stars Pickford and her first husband, Owen Moore, as

Benaquist quickly determined that one of the reels was a lost 1913 silent film about Abraham Lincoln. But it took longer to identify the Pickford film because the 35 mm celluloid had stuck to itself. Once a lab was able to separate the layers, Benaquist reached out to Schmidt.

“I was really stunned, because a lot of those early films, you just figure they’re gone,” Schmidt said Monday.

Pickford had been known only as Little Mary, but that changed after Their First Misunderstanding, Benaquist said.

“Now she was an actor with clout, and I think she used that to great advantage,” he said.

One clip of the restored film shows Pickford bounding into the room and confronting her husband about an invitation from someone she doesn’t particularly like. “You see the whole range of emotions in that clip — playful, annoyed, loving and worried,” Schmidt said.

Massie, who also rescued an old projector from the barn in the town of Nelson, said the owner had told him he could keep whatever he found. Not realizing the nitrate film was highly flammable, he kept the reels in his truck for a while and later stored them near his woodstove at home.

“Then I found out I could’ve exploded,” he said.

Ninety percent of the movies made before 1930 are gone, Benaquist said.

“So, the odds are if you find a stack of films, you might find something that hasn’t been around,” he said. “With this stack of films, it was like striking gold. It was just amazing.

Junior juggles six sports during school year but makes strides as a runner

By James Barron

T

he running never stops for Cassie CdeBaca.

It starts with the 5 to 7 miles the state’s reigning Class AA cross-country champion puts in during practice at Pecos High School every day. But it’s here where the running goes from literal to proverbial.

CdeBaca heads to Louis G. Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium for volleyball practice as the Lady Panthers’ starting setter. Once 6 p.m. rolls around and the rest of her volleyball cohorts head home, the junior waits for her cheerleading teammates to show up for practice.

“I want to try to something new, and it’s different from everything else I play,” said CdeBaca about cheerleading, a sport she picked up this year.

Finally, by about 7 p.m., CdeBaca can call it a day — and either heads home to do homework or to Luna Community College for a course in its dual-credit program.

And that’s a slow day. That doesn’t include the volleyball matches and cross-country meets, and CdeBaca will get plenty of that this week. Pecos plays three volleyball matches and will run in the Albuquerque Academy Invitational on Friday.

It’s nothing new for CdeBaca, who has kept the heavy fall workload since she was a freshman — cheerleading excluded. She has played basketball the past two winters, and she’s a staple of Pecos’ track and softball programs in the spring.

So what’s one more sport for a five-sport athlete?

“I’m fortunate that, at the tail end of my

career, I get to coach a kid like that,” Pecos head volleyball coach Leonard Velasquez said. “It’s not often you can say that. I’ve been fortunate to coach at several small schools, and I don’t think I have seen a kid do six sports. I’ve had a few five-sport athletes, but never six.”

But multisport athletes are the life blood of small schools. It’s common to see an athlete suit up for one sport in the morning, and then race to the next in the afternoon. For CdeBaca, though, it seems life is in perpetual motion.

Even during the one day she has off — Sunday — she will run for about an hour through the trails of the Pecos wilderness.

That running is CdeBaca’s best sport is no surprise to Pecos head coach Victor Ortiz. He remembers her aunt, Natalie CdeBaca, being

You have to try a lot harder, because you know the other girls are working harder, too.

PHILADELPHIA — Jeremy Maclin would’ve been a perfect complement to DeSean Jackson in Chip Kelly’s offense — if he wasn’t hurt.

The wide receiver was one of four Philadelphia Eagles to tear an ACL in training camp.

The Eagles really felt Maclin’s absence in last week’s loss to Kansas City. Jackson was held to just three catches after having 16 receptions for 297 yards and two touchdowns in the first two games.

“We never look at it if we had Jeremy Maclin, it’s a different situation,” Kelly said Tuesday. “I don’t think it’s productive to think about it that way. It’s not going to change. Mac isn’t coming back until next year.”

Several NFL teams face similar problems.

Replacing important starters with capable backups often can be the difference between missing the playoffs and playing in January. It’s not always the best teams that win in the end, but the healthiest ones with the most depth.

ACL injuries are perhaps the most significant because they’re season-ending and require a longer recovery time, but plenty of other body parts besides the knee are knocking players out of the lineup.

Here are five common injuries putting players on the sideline: ACL/knee: A torn anterior cruciate ligament used to be a devastating injury. Modern medicine changed that, and many players come back and perform at a high level. Check Adrian Peterson. Still, it’s a big deal because guys are out for the year.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Tampa Bay dashes Yankees’ playoff hopes

By Howie Rumberg

The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Matt Moore had the Yankees flailing for five wild innings, and the Rays beat New York 7-0 on Tuesday night to push them to the brink of missing out on the postseason for the second time in 19 years.

Tampa Bay roughed up Hiroki Kuroda in tightening its grip on an AL wild-card spot with its fifth straight win. Matt Joyce had a leadoff homer as the Rays jumped ahead 3-0 in the first and David DeJesus had two RBI doubles.

Tampa Bay has a one-game lead over Cleveland for the top wild card with five to play. Texas and Kansas City played later.

The Yankees trail the Indians, who won 5-4, by five games — and also are behind the Rangers and Royals. The Yankees would be eliminated Wednesday if Cleveland wins and they lose.

Moore (16-4) gave up only three hits but threw three wild pitches to up his AL-leading total to 16 and walked six.

Jamey Wright and Jake Odorizzi, who earned Yankees 0 the save with three innings, finished the four-hitter that ensured New York could not pass the Rays in the standings.

The defeat also gave the Yankees 75 losses for the first time since they lost 86 games in 1992.

The Rays got right to work against Kuroda (11-13), tagging him for three more first-inning runs.

Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon put Joyce in the top spot with hopes of getting him going. In a 3-for-41 slump coming in, Joyce connected on a 1-1 pitch for the Rays seventh leadoff homer of the season. Wil Myers followed with a single and DeJesus drove him in with a double to right field.

Evan Longoria’s sacrifice fly capped the inning.

Kuroda has yielded 23 of his 77 runs this season in the first inning.

After that, the biggest mystery for the eerily quiet late-season crowd of 43,407 Rays

Mike McCarthy to joke that the “Wisconsin diet” must be a factor for the team’s spate of hamstring pulls.

There are varying degrees of hamstring injuries. Falcons running back Steven Jackson already missed one game and could be out a few more. Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald played through his the past two weeks, but his production dropped significantly.

Eighteen players listed on last week’s injury report had hamstring injuries, including 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, Saints right guard Jahri Evans and Dolphins safety Chris Clemons. Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin, Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin, Vikings safety Jamarca Sanford and Jets running back Chris Ivory were added to that group over the weekend.

Foot: Chargers linebacker Manti Te’o and Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell still haven’t made their NFL debuts because of foot injuries.

Bill safety Jairus Byrd also missed the first three games with a foot problem, and Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon will miss two months.

Broncos left tackle Ryan Clady went down for the season with a Lisfranc tear in his left foot, and Cardinals linebacker Lorenzo Alexander is out for the year because a torn ligament in his right foot.

Ankle: There were 22 players listed with ankle injuries last week. Falcons wide receiver Roddy White and Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew played through theirs, while Steelers cornerback Cortez Allen, Chiefs tight end Anthony Fasano, Colts safety LaRon Landry and Redskins tight end Fred Davis sat out.

VOLLEYBALL ROUNDUP

Tse Yi Gai takes down S.F. Waldorf The New Mexican

First, the Santa Fe Waldorf volleyball team got sick.

Then, it got young.

That was the opening Tse Yi Gai used to orchestrate a 15-25, 25-8, 25-15, 17-25, 15-12 win in a nondistrict match at Christian Life Academy on Tuesday night.

The Lady Wolves (3-3) were without two starters, including Cecelia Barnard, with an illness and a third starter, Gabby Chastenet, played through a fever. Head coach Josie Adams dug into her limited bench and produced two eighth-graders in their place.

One of them, Beatrice Lowe, recorded 10 kills to lead Waldorf in the category.

Lowe also produced in the back row, as she, freshman Sophia Linnett and junior Keifer Nace combined for 40 digs.

“It was a time to have our younger girls step up and get some experience that will only benefit them,” Adams said. “To have Bea start and play the full game and never get subbed out as a 13-year-old? And she walks off the court with 10 kills?

The eight-graders really stepped up.”

Linnett served five aces and 33 points from behind the line without an error, and Chastenet managed seven kills despite feeling ill.

POjOAquE VALLEy 3, SANTA FE INDIAN SChOOL 0 Don’t ever confuse the Elkettes with lethargy.

They were anything but that in a dominating 25-6, 25-9, 25-16 nondistrict win over the Lady Braves in Ben Luján Gymnasium.

Pojoaque was the model of efficiency, as setter Sofia Lucero had 31 assists in a little more than two games.

Benefiting from her sets were Kristen Woody (14 kills), Cheyenne Law (11) and Danielle Martinez (seven).

The Elkettes also had 10 aces as a team.

The one thing Pojoaque (6-2) didn’t do was give away points, something Elkettes head coach Eric Zamora said the team did during the Tournament of Champions over the weekend.

“We played some pretty good points, but we did give up some runs that we probably shouldn’t have,” Zamora said.

“You can’t give up seven

SANTA FE hIgh 3, ALBuquERquE DEL NORTE 0 It was the kind of win that looks good on paper, but not necessarily from the sidelines.

It was Game 1 of a 25-23, 25-16, 25-9 nondistrict sweep of the Lady Knights that concerned Demonettes head coach Sam Estrada.

“They really pressed us that first game,” Estrada said. “I don’t think it should have been that close. I don’t know what it was.

We weren’t jumping or standing on defense or playing balls that were going out. It worries me that, in a really tough match, would we be able to handle the pressure.”

Santa Fe High (9-2) settled down after that. Kayla Herrera had a team-high 11 kills, while Hannah Hargrove added 10.

Capital’s boys soccer team pulls ahead of Farmington The New Mexican

The Capital High School boys soccer team overcame a 1-0 deficit to pull off a 3-2 nondistrict road win over Farmington, the team that knocked them out of the Class AAAA State Tournament last year.

After failing to score in the first half, the Jaguars (5-5) tied it at 1-1 in the 44th minute with a goal by Jesus Garcia.

Luis Rios added a goal three minutes later, and Bayron Sican scored Capital’s final goal in the 75th minute.

“[This is] the second [match] that we fell behind 1-0, and we showed that we can come back any team on any field,” head coach Eugene Doyle said via text message. “[It was the] last match before districts start and I think we’re ready.”

The Jaguars open up District 2AAAA play at Bernalillo on Oct. 1.

St. Michael’S 1, Rehoboth 0 The Horsemen (7-2) avoided a nondistrict overtime with the Lynx when Michael Brouillette scored in the 78th minute.

It was the Horsemen’s fourth match

in five days, and head coach Merritt Brown said fatigue was to blame for them not finding the back of the net until late in the match.

“We had almost 90 percent possession,” he said. “We had about 12 shots on goal and none of them were going through. The boys were patient and we’re just happy to come out with a win.”

GIRLS SOCCER St. Michael’S 4, albuqueRque Del NoRte 1 Lady Horsemen Cristiana Gabaldon

had three assists as St. Michael’s rolled over Del Norte in a nondistrict match in Albuquerque. She helped on both of Catie Ish’s goals and also assisted on Adriana Camarena’s score, too boot.

St. Michael’s Nique Enloe scored unassisted in the first half.

“Cristiana is just a play maker in the middle,” St. Michael’s head coach Robyn Serge said. “She has a vision for finding people.”

Goalkeeper Alyssa Evans had five saves for the Lady Horsemen.

St. Michael’s (7-3) will resume district play with a match against Desert Academy on Friday.

CROSS-COUNTRY NOTEBOOK

Teams gear up for nine meets this weekend

By James Barron

The New Mexican

This is the point in the cross-country season where quality battles quantity.

With the plethora of cross-country meets across the state tugging at prospective teams, the fields of some events start to shrink. Last week saw nine meets for schools to choose from over the weekend and even one out-of-state event that took Desert Academy into Colorado.

This weekend, there will be nine more meets, including the Meadow City Invitational in Las Vegas, N.M., and the Capital City Invitational at the Municipal Recreation Complex. That doesn’t include the rained-out Taos Invitational, which was made up on Tuesday.

That makes scheduling finding teams all the more difficult for meet organizers.

“When you limit teams to eight meets during the year and everybody wants to have a meet,” said Santa Fe High head coach Peter Graham, who is running the Capital City event, “it waters down all the meets because people are trying to make a decision about what meet to go to.”

Most teams will head to Albuquerque Academy for its meet on Friday, including Los Alamos and Pecos. The result will be roomier courses for runners to navigate at other events.

The Capital City will feature six schools on Saturday — host Santa Fe High, Capital, St. Michael’s, Santa Fe Preparatory, Pojoaque Valley and Ruidoso.

There will be quality on the track — the field will include two-time meet winner Jereme Santistevan; Zack Grand, who won last week’s Adron Gardner Invitational at Belen; and Prep’s Jimmy Buchanan, one of the top runners in Class AA.

as favorites in the boys and girls side in Class AAA. The boys team has taken home first-place trophies in two of three meets this season (Española Valley, Bosque Fall Fiesta), and the girls were second at Española and Bosque. Taos also has individual winners in Donevan Gravelle and Haley Rach, both at Española. uuu

The big meet of the weekend will be in Albuquerque, when Los Alamos’ boys and girls duel once again with Albuquerque Academy at the Chargers’ meet. The last time the programs faced off — the UNM uuu Invitational on Sept. 7 — Academy won the boys and took second in the girls. More Speaking of the Blue Griffins, they had important, both teams finished ahead of quite the successful meet at the Bosque Fall Los Alamos (the boys by a 51-188 margin, Fiesta.

“I have to find other ways to push myself,” CdeBaca said. “I have to find motivation for myself and that’s a lot harder.”

Still, she is finding her way. She was 22nd at the Joe I. Vigil Open in Alamosa, Colo., but ran her best time of 21:07. After a week off, she won the Ron Valdez Memorial Invitational at Pecos in 23:17.78 on a more hilly course compared to the golf course on which the Colorado meet was run.

Friday brings a more challenging field, as Pecos heads to the Albuquerque Academy invite. She’ll be among the few small-school runners at a mostly AAAA and AAAAA field, but that’s what Ortiz likes about the meet.

“She’ll have her work cut out,” Ortiz said.

“The competition is always good, for the girls as well as the boys. It’s about as good as what we saw in Alamosa. Academy is good.”

So is Cassie CdeBaca. Especially when she’s on the run.

Martinez scored in the 15th, 30th, 50th and 65th minutes.

“She’s incredibly athletic,” Pojoaque head coach Angelo Montoya said. “I’ve been trying to get her to work on her shot, and it’s paid off. She can be one of our best scorers.”

THE NEW MEXICAN Wednesday, September 25, 2013

hopes: Suzuki got 1st hit in 3rd inning Continued from Page B-1 was if the Mariano Rivera bobblehead dolls would arrive before the end of the game. The figurines were delayed by train and truck trouble in a cross-country journey, and the Yankees were forced to give out vouchers to the first 18,000 fans entitled to one of the promotional gifts in tribute to the retiring closer.

Alas, the bobbleheads arrived in the third inning.

The Yankees’ bats didn’t.

Ichiro Suzuki got New York’s first hit in the bottom of third, and Alex Rodriguez and Alfonso Soriano walked to load the bases but Mark Reynolds popped out to right field and Eduardo Nunez grounded into a fielder’s choice.

The Yankees were 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position overall. Kuroda settled down after the first and held Tampa Bay hitless until the sixth, when James Loney doubled with the bases loaded for two runs.

IndIAnS 5, WhItE Sox 4 In Cleveland, pinch-hitter Jason Giambi belted a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Indians a stunning 5-4 win over the Chicago on Tuesday night, keeping Cleveland up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race.

Giambi drove a 1-1 pitch from Addison Reed (5-4) into the lower deck in right field to save the Indians from a potentially devastating loss. Giambi’s shot bailed out controversial closer Chris Perez, who gave up two homers in the top of the ninth.

As he rounded third base, the 42-year-old Giambi slowed down before being engulfed by his teammates as the Indians celebrated their 13th straight win over Chicago.

Bryan Shaw (6-3) came in after Perez had nearly given away a game the Indians couldn’t afford to lose. tIGERS 4, tWInS 2 In Minneapolis, Doug Fister struck out seven, and Detroit homered three times in the fourth inning to clinch a playoff berth with a victory over the Twins.

Victor Martinez and Omar Infante went back-to-back and Austin Jackson hit a two-run homer later in the fourth to put the Tigers in front. Fister (14-9) gave up two runs and eight hits in 6⅓ innings to help Detroit secure at least an AL wild card.

Cleveland rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-4 in the bottom of the ninth inning to prevent the Tigers from clinching their third straight AL Central title. One more Tigers win or Indians loss will lock it up for Detroit.

BLUE JAYS 3, oRIoLES 2 (10 InnInGS) In Baltimore, the Blue Jays eliminated the Orioles from the playoff hunt, using two clutch RBI singles by Mark DeRosa to beat Baltimore.

It was the Orioles sixth straight loss, combined with Cleveland’s comeback win over the White Sox, left Baltimore six games behind the Indians for the final wild-card slot with five games left.

DeRosa singled in the tying run in the eighth inning and put the Blue Jays ahead in the 10th.

Sergio Santos (1-1) worked a perfect ninth and Casey Janssen got three outs for his 34th save.

Jose Reyes drew a one-out walk in the Toronto 10th off Francisco Rodriguez (2-1) and Munenori Kawasaki singled.

Reyes appeared to be picked off second but was called safe, drawing Orioles manager Buck Showalter out to argue the call.

Brett Lawrie then hit into a fielder’s choice and DeRosa singled to right.

RAnGERS 3, AStRoS 2 In Arlington, Texas, Adrian Beltre homered at home for the first time in more than a month, and the Rangers stayed close in the wild-card race, beating Houston and sending Houston to their 11th straight loss.

With five games left in the regular season, Texas remained a game behind Cleveland for the AL’s second wild-card spot.

Tampa Bay is a game ahead of the Indians in a crowded pack.

Beltre’s 29th homer snapped a 2-all tie with one out in the sixth. That came after Yu Darvish gave up the lead in the top half of the inning.

Matt Dominguez homered for the Astros. Their 107th loss overall matched the franchise record set last year.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Cole, Pirates beat Cubs, take wild-card lead

The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Gerrit Cole threw six strong innings, helping the Pirates take Pirates 8 over the NL Cubs 2 wild-card lead.

Pittsburgh moved one game ahead of Cincinnati, which lost 4-2 to the Mets. The Pirates remained two games behind NL Central-leading St. Louis.

One night after clinching their first postseason spot in 21 years, Cole and the Pirates showed few signs of a letdown.

Cole hit a two-run single, Pedro Alvarez drove in three runs and Jordy Mercer homered.

Cole (10-7) won his fourth straight start, giving up two runs and seven hits.

Cole’s single came during a three-run second inning against Chris Rusin (2-6).

CARdInALS 2, nAtIonALS 0 St. Louis, Cardinals rookie Michael Wacha lost his no-

hit bid on Ryan Zimmerman’s infield single with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Cardinals beat Washington 2-0 Tuesday night to close in on the NL Central title.

Making his ninth career start, Wacha came about as close as possible to finishing off the third no-hitter in the majors this season. Instead, he became the third pitcher to have a bid broken up with one out to go.

Zimmerman hit a chopper just over Wacha’s glove — the pitcher said he thought it nicked his mitt — and the ball bounced slowly toward shortstop. A charging Pete Kozma grabbed it with his bare hand and whipped a throw to first that was a little wide, pulling Matt Adams off the bag just as Zimmerman arrived.

The crowd at Busch Stadium let out a loud, collective groan.

Third baseman David Freese sat crouched in the infield, stunned at how close his 22-year-old teammate had come.

Wacha (4-1) was pulled after Zimmerman’s hit and walked off

to a huge ovation. Trevor Rosenthal got Jayson Werth to ground out for his second save.

MEtS 4, REdS 2 In Cincinnati, Daniel Murphy hit a three-run homer off Mike Leake, whose long streak of scoreless innings got shattered early, and the Mets dealt the Reds a costly setback to their hopes of a second straight NL Central title.

The Reds and Pirates clinched playoff spots on Monday night, but hope to chase down firstplace St. Louis with closing surges. Leake’s one very bad inning made that much less likely for Cincinnati.

Leake (14-7) gave up four runs and eight hits in only 1⅔ innings, matching the shortest start of his career. Wilfredo Tovar ended his scoreless innings streak at 21⅔ with an RBI single, and Murphy’s homer gave left-hander Jon Niese (8-8) the big lead.

Niese allowed two runs and eight hits in seven innings. Vic Black faced three batters in the ninth, getting his first career

save on his second try.

BRAVES 3, BREWERS 2 In Atlanta, Andrelton Simmons hit a game-ending RBI single with two out in the ninth, lifting the Braves to the victory.

Justin Upton sparked the winning rally with a leadoff single against Donovan Hand (0-5).

Upton advanced on Evan Gattis’ one-out grounder that Scooter Gennett bobbled behind second base for an infield hit. After Brian McCann popped out, Simmons’ first hit of the night ended the game.

Craig Kimbrel (4-3), who leads the majors with 49 saves, struck out the side in the ninth.

Jeff Bianchi hit his first homer of the season in the fifth for Milwaukee.

PhILLIES 2, MARLInS 1 In Miami, Darin Ruf and Kevin Frandsen each drove in a run in the first inning, and Philadelphia handed the Marlins their 100th loss of the season.

It’s the second triple-digitloss season in Miami history, joining the 108-defeat year in

1998. Mike Redmond, the firstyear Marlins manager, was a rookie on that team, playing in 37 games.

Ruf drew a bases-loaded walk, Frandsen followed with an RBI groundout and that was all the offense that the Phillies would need. Michael Stutes (3-1) got the win by working a scoreless fifth inning in relief, and Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his 29th save in 36 chances.

Marlins starter Henderson Alvarez (4-6) allowed five hits and struck out five in seven innings. Justin Ruggiano had two hits for Miami, one of them an RBI double where he was thrown out at third.

INTERLEAGUE

RoCKIES 8, REd Sox 3 In Denver, Charlie Blackmon hit his first career leadoff homer, and Tyler Chatwood pitched seven strong innings, leading the Rockies to the victory.

John Lackey (10-13) struggled on the road again, allowing four runs and six hits in six innings.

NCAA modifies sanctions against Penn State Officials restore scholarships, may reconsider bowl ban

By Mike Dawson

Centre Daily Times (State College, Pa.)

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The NCAA will restore the scholarships Penn State lost in the crushing sanctions imposed after the Jerry Sandusky scandal, as the organization recognizes that that university has pushed ahead with “significant momentum” to make sweeping changes to the way it runs.

Penn State’s football team will see five scholarships added back each year starting in 2014-15, with the full complement of 85 scholarships set for 2016-17, NCAA officials said Tuesday in announcing the modification to the sanctions.

The NCAA’s executive committee approved giving back the scholarships

after a recommendation from former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, who was appointed by the NCAA to oversee Penn State’s progress in adopting a number of reforms to enhance its security, ethics, governance and compliance structure. Mitchell, who said he’d been given unfettered access to documentation and employees, praised Penn State’s efforts in the first yearly progress report, which was issued earlier this month.

Under the terms of the NCAA’s consent decree, Penn State was required to adopt all of the 119 recommendations in former FBI director Louis Freeh’s report, and the university put in place all but a few. The Freeh recommendations include requiring background checks on new employees, restricting access to athletics facilities and the hiring of a staff member to ensure the university complies with federal crime-reporting requirements.

The university also had followed the

terms of an athletics integrity agreement, which lays out specific requirements for the athletics department.

Many in the Penn State community were hopeful that Mitchell’s positive progress report would pave the way for the NCAA to have a change of heart.

Mitchell said Penn State had made a “good-faith effort to embrace and adopt the changes needed to enhance its future.”

“While there is more work to be done, Penn State has clearly demonstrated its commitment to restoring integrity in its athletics program,” Mitchell said Tuesday. “The university has substantially completed the initial implementation of all the Freeh Report recommendations and its obligations to the Athletics Integrity Agreement, so relief from the scholarship reductions is warranted and deserved.”

NCAA President Mark Emmert said the move to ease up on the scholar-

ship reduction was an “important recognition of the university’s progress.”

The NCAA also will consider rescinding the postseason bowl ban if Penn State continues to show progress, officials said. That would be an incentive for Penn State to continue its work, said LouAnn Simon, the chairwoman of the NCAA’s executive committee and the president of Michigan State University.

There was no word about whether the other sanctions could be included, such as the $60 million fine and the erasing of 112 victories from the history books.

Penn State leaders were thankful for the NCAA’s decision.

“This news is certainly welcome to our university community, particularly the student athletes who may want to attend Penn State and will now have the means to do so,” Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement. “As we promised throughout

this process, we are committed to continuing to improve all of our policies, procedures and actions.”

Trustees board Chairman Keith Masser commended Erickson and university employees for their work to implement the reforms that led to NCAA’s actions.

Coach Bill O’Brien, who briefed trustees in July about a possible request to the NCAA to modify the sanctions, was equally as gratified.

“As a staff, we are especially pleased for our players, who have proven themselves to be a resilient group of young men who are able to look ahead, focus and overcome adversity,” O’Brien said. “Penn State has long been known for graduating its student-athletes and providing them with a world-class education. The scholarship additions will allow us to provide more student-athletes with a tremendous opportunity to earn that degree and play football for Penn State.”

The Associated Press

S

AN FRANCISCO — The longest America’s Cup in history will come down to two 72-foot, space-age catamarans making a final, dramatic sprint around San Francisco Bay, on a five-leg course framed by the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.

Skipper Jimmy Spithill and defending champion Oracle Team USA saw to that by extending their almost unimaginable winning streak to seven on Tuesday to force a winnertake-all finale against Emirates Team New Zealand.

Oracle came through a wild start with two collisions to win Race 17, and then sped past the Kiwis after they made a tactical error to give up the lead in Race 18 in strong wind.

All but defeated a week ago, Oracle Team USA tied the faltering Kiwis 8-8 on the scoreboard by winning its 10th race overall. Oracle was docked two points for illegally modifying boats in warm-up regattas and Dirk de Ridder, who trimmed the 131-foot wing sail, was disqualified.

If it hadn’t been hit with the harshest penalties in the 162-year history of the America’s Cup, Oracle Team USA’s sailors would be hoisting the oldest trophy in international sports in victory and spraying each other with Champagne.

Instead, the epic 19th race is scheduled for Wednesday, weather-permitting, on San Francisco Bay. Either Oracle will finish one of the greatest comebacks in sports history or Team New Zealand, marooned on match point for the past week, will get the win it needs to claim the Auld Mug for the second time in 18 years and ease the nerves of the 4.5 million residents of the island nation.

Oracle has gotten faster as it’s made changes to its black cat every night in its big boatshed on Pier 80 and has steadily learned to sail it better under the watchful eye of team CEO Russell Coutts, a four-time America’s Cup winner.

But there’s a bigger reason Oracle is still alive.

“Never giving up,” Spithill said.

The 34-year-old Australian has been almost defiant in leading his well-funded, deep team after it was penalized just four days before the sailing began.

“I really feel it’s because we’ve been through such hard times in this campaign that it’s prepared us for this situation,” Spithill said. “I spoke yesterday a lot about the capsize and stuff like that and what went on before this regatta. This team has just been through so much and some incredibly difficult times. Those were key moments, we needed those key moments to prepare us as a team.”

Oracle’s first boat capsized in October and its wing sail was destroyed, costing the team four months of training time until a new one arrived from New Zealand.

Barker, the losing skipper in the 2003 and 2007 America’s Cup, looked deflated after the double losses.

“We got beaten today, and that’s tough to handle, but sometimes you just have to accept that,” he said. “It’s frustrating, but we know we can still win this, and we will go out there and give it absolutely everything we can tomorrow.”

Spithill may very well have gotten into the heads of Barker and the Kiwi crew on Sept.

12. With Oracle trailing 6 to minus-1, he said: “I think the question is, imagine if these guys lost from here, what an upset that would be.

They’ve almost got it in the bag. That’s my motivation.”

On Tuesday, Spithill said: “It’s not over.

That’s the key point here is, we’ve got to finish it off.”

In terms of drama, this America’s Cup rivals the 1983 regatta, when Australia II rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Dennis Conner in seven races to end the New York Yacht Club’s 132-year winning streak.

Tuesday’s races were so pivotal that software billionaire Larry Ellison, who owns Oracle Team USA, skipped making a keynote speech before 60,000 people at Oracle Open World so he could witness the comeback firsthand from a chase boat on the bay.

Barker dominated Spithill at the start of Race 18 and beat him to the first mark with

his 72-foot catamaran, allowing the Kiwis to control the race.

The Kiwis led by 7 seconds rounding the second gate mark before committing the blunder that cost them the lead and, perhaps, the America’s Cup. Team New Zealand tacked too early heading into the first cross going upwind and slowed dramatically as the boats zigzagged toward the Golden Gate Bridge on the only windward leg on the course. The Americanbacked boat — with only one American on its 11-man crew — went speeding past and built its lead to more than 1,000 yards on the windward fourth leg going past Alcatraz Island.

The final margin was 54 seconds. Spithill did a flyby of Pier 27-29, with his crew lining the port hull to wave and pump their fists toward the crowd.

Oracle, which trailed 8-1 last Wednesday, has dramatically increased its speed sailing upwind after struggling repeatedly against the Kiwis earlier in the regatta. As it overhauled the Kiwis in Race 18, Oracle’s hulls were out of the water, riding on hydrofoils.

“I think it’s fairly clear to see that we could have tacked pretty much anywhere and we would have been behind at the end of that leg,” Barker said. “They were going pretty damn well. This was the first time that we’ve recognized that there was a condition where we’re maybe not as strong as we need to be.

It’s tough because you’re doing everything you can. The guys never gave up, but clearly the Oracle guys were going pretty well in that stuff.”

Earlier, Oracle forced Emirates Team New Zealand into two penalties during the wild start of Race 17 and won by 27 seconds.

Spithill appeared in trouble just before the start but hooked behind Barker into a favored leeward position as the boats jockeyed just inside the Golden Gate Bridge. The 72-foot catamarans touched, and Oracle tactician Ben Ainslie yelled at the Kiwis to tack away. They collided again, this time harder, with Ainslie gesturing angrily.

Team New Zealand sat dead in the water to clear the penalties as Oracle pulled away — and stayed ahead the whole way around the course.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Shaquille O’Neal spent the first part of the century smashing Sacramento’s dreams of an NBA championship. Now he wants to spend the next part doing anything he can to build the Kings into a winner.

Declaring the new name of the city “Shaqramento,” O’Neal began by taking steps in his size 22 shoes Tuesday to make amends to Kings fans for his past verbal swipes. The new minority owner of the Kings said he just wanted to rile up people and market the game when he called the franchise the “Sacramento Queens” while winning three titles with the Los Angeles Lakers.

“I apologize,” O’Neal said. “If you see me around town, come give me a hug, give me a kiss. I’ll do whatever you want.”

The 15-time All-Star center promised to use the same brand that bullied Sacramento for years to bring positive attention to California’s capital city.

O’Neal’s larger-than-life personality did just that on his first day on the job. He attracted a crowd of about 75 reporters, with TV trucks fighting for the closest parking space outside Sacramento’s suburban practice facility and about a dozen fans trying to sneak into the parking lot.

O’Neal said has no intention of being a silent investor. He wants to be a mentor to volatile center DeMarcus Cousins, give his input on basketball decisions and help the team build the NBA’s first “indoor-outdoor arena.”

O’Neal said he learned decades ago from Hall of Famer and friend Magic Johnson that endorsements “are good, but you want to own stuff.” He declined to reveal his stake in the team but said joining an NBA ownership group “was always one of my dreams and aspirations,” especially after retiring in 2011 after a 19-year playing career.

New Kings majority owner Vivek Ranadive said he first approached O’Neal about joining his group after he swayed the league to keep the Kings from moving to Seattle and bought the team from the Maloof family in May. Ranadive’s primary partner, 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov, is friends with O’Neal. The two partnered in the past to build about 20 gyms, especially in South Florida during O’Neal’s time with the Miami Heat. O’Neal said he moved from Los Angeles and couldn’t find a place to work out at all hours and found Mastrov by searching his name on Google.

“Make no mistake: Shaq is a shrewd businessman,” Mastrov said.

Ranadive said the deal came together a few weeks ago while “shooting hoops” at his Silicon Valley home with O’Neal and Mastrov.

“He’s one of the most recognizable people on the planet,” Ranadive said, “and we are trying to build the Kings into an even bigger global brand.”

Ranadive revealed another one of those plans Tuesday. He said the team’s season opener Oct. 30 against Denver will likely be broadcast in his native India.

Dad treats son as his personal slave

Dear Annie: I have been married for 15 years. My husband and I still live under the same roof (for convenience), but we have drifted our separate ways. The problem is, our teenage son cannot stand to be in the same room with his father. All they do is argue, and my husband pouts like a baby, bottom lip and all.

I have asked our son to try to ignore Dad in order to keep the peace, but it is getting worse. This man, who wanted to have a child, has spent little time with our son over the years. When I was working and he had to watch our son, he would have his parents come over, and then he and his father would leave, letting my mother-in-law babysit. On weekends, he managed never to be home.

Now that our son is older, my husband thinks he has a personal slave to do all the yard work and dishes and put his stuff away when he comes home. Also, he and Grandpa have no qualms about pointing out what this kid does wrong, badgering him about it and never mentioning the things he does well.

I have had it. I don’t want my son to grow up to be like his father.

Should I stay here, or should I take my son and leave? — Fed Up in Pennsylvania Dear Fed Up: There is a lot going on here. You and your husband obviously no longer connect, and your son may be acting out his frustrations with the situation. Dad has no idea how to communicate with his son. Neither you nor your son is happy with Dad. If the marriage is dead, please stop hanging around the corpse. Your son will benefit from an emotionally stable home. Speak with a lawyer before deciding which of you should move out. All of you would benefit from counseling, and we hope you will consider it.

Dear Annie: Not every letter is about a problem. I am the luckiest guy in the world. I am 60 years old.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You could be taken aback by a situation that is developing. Maintain a sense of humor. You will be happier as a result.

Tonight: Listen to others’ “war stories” of the day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Your caring yet methodical manner creates change quickly. Realize what is happening within your circle of friends.

Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You will go toward a creative option that appears suddenly. Finding out what is workable could test your limits. You might be holding back your feelings. Tonight: How about some fun?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH Being centered at home might be a higher priority than it normally would be, as much pressure seems to emanate from others’ demands. Tonight: Stay anchored.

Dear Annie: “Sensitive in the Midwest” deplored the table manners she witnessed. Here’s my advice: Most executives and CEOs of successful companies do not ignore etiquette. They are unlikely to hire anyone who cannot show decent manners, including those who use vulgar language.

If one wishes to continue through life in a low-paying job with no chance of advancement, by all means, thumb your nose at etiquette.

Otherwise, parents (and individuals with aspirations) should give some thought to their appearance and presentation and insist on etiquette and its use. It shows respect for yourself and others. — Burwell, Neb.

Agency seeks less money for Medicaid More federal funds, lowered usage cited

By Barry Massey

The Associated Press

The agency managing New Mexico’s largest health care program is asking for less — not more — state money to operate in the upcoming budget year.

It’s the first time in more than a decade that the Human Services Department isn’t seeking an increase in state aid for Medicaid, which provides health care for a fourth of New Mexico’s population.

Agency officials said a reduction is possible in part because of low price inflation, more available federal money and lower usage of services

by Medicaid recipients.

“I hope people see it as a good thing. It’s not as though we’re cutting services or changing anything. It’s really just something that we’ve been able to manage a little bit differently,” said Deputy Secretary Brent Earnest.

The department has requested about $1 billion in state money for Medicaid in the fiscal year that starts next July. That’s nearly $19 million, or 1.8 percent, less than this year.

Agencies submitted budget requests to Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration at the start of the month, and those will be used to develop the governor’s spending recommendations to the Legislature, which meets in January to approve a state budget for next year. Lawmakers also review the agency requests in making budget decisions.

The Medicaid agency’s proposed budget reduction is notable because the state plans to expand the health care program starting in January.

Nearly 90,000 uninsured New Mexicans are expected to enroll next year under terms of a federal health care overhaul championed by President Barack Obama.

The federal government will pick up the full costs of the expansion initially, and that will gradually drop to 90 percent in 2020. The total costs of Medicaid — federal and state spending — are expected to increase by about $670 million next year because of the expansion, according to the Legislative Finance Committee.

Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, a Santa Fe Democrat and committee chairman, said a lower budget request from Medicaid potentially frees up state money that can help lawmakers in making spending decisions for the rest of government.

Historically, public education and Medicaid have driven much of the growth in state spending.

what of a life, and I was waiting until I saw there was a candidate that would serve District 1 well, and I feel confident that that is the case with Sig.” Calvert’s decision brings to three the number of people who have announced they are seeking the position in the March 4 municipal election — Lindell, Houston Johansen and Michael Segura.

Calvert first won election in 2006 to the position, previously held by David Pfeffer, by defeating former Planning Commissioner Eric Lujan, then won

re-election in 2010 by defeating Russell Simon and Doug Nava. Calvert often votes in concert with the other District 1 councilor, Patti Bushee, who plans to run for mayor next year.

With bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of California at Berkeley and an engineering degree from the U.S. Air Force Academy, Calvert has worked as a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service since 1991 and has lived in Santa Fe since 1998. He plans to retire at the end of 2014.

“Nobody quite knows what [serving on the City Council is] going to entail until you do it,” Calvert said. “One of the big questions people ask me all the time is, ‘How much time does it take?’ and I say, ‘As much time as you’re willing to give it,’ and that’s partly why I’m ready to give it a rest for a while, because when I do something, I’m all in, and eight years of all in is enough.”

Money: No cuts planned Continued from Page C-1 “There seems to be some savings there,” Varela said of Medicaid, “and that’s the reason we’re somewhat optimistic that we’re going to have a good base budget and that the larger agencies are not going to be requesting as much money as they normally do.”

He said the committee could end up proposing to the Legislature an overall state spending increase of 4 percent to 5 percent next year.

Excluding the Human Services Department, the rest of government — the judiciary, some legislative operations and general government agencies — has requested a spending increase of about 7 percent next year, according to a Legislative Finance Committee staff analysis. That doesn’t include financing for public schools and colleges, however.

If the Medicaid agency is included, the overall budget increase requested by agencies is about 3.6 percent next year. But that masks smaller agencies that are seeking much higher increases than the largest departments.

Not counting the Human Services, Corrections, Health and Public Safety departments, other government agencies are seeking an 11 percent increase in spending.

The governor’s top budget official, Finance and Administration Secretary Tom Clifford, said the agency requests provide a “reasonable starting point” to prepare a blueprint for financing government next year. A number of agencies, he said, are seeking extra state aid to offset losses in federal aid or to make up ground from state cuts during the recession.

Teens can text sex questions ALBUQUERQUE — Teens and their parents in New Mexico can now turn to a state-sponsored text messaging service for answers to questions about the birds and the bees, also known as sex.

According to the state Department of Health, its BrdsNBz (birds-and-bees) hotline provides answers by a health educator within 24 hours and typically within six to eight hours.

However, KRQE reports that questions about technique won’t be answered.

Education project officer Valerie Fisher says the text line is an attempt to deal with the state’s high teen birth rates.

The text line is funded through a $65,000 federal grant.

Teens ages 13 to 19 can text “NMTeen” and parents can text “NMParent” to 66746 to ask questions in either English or Spanish.

New proposal could fast-track cleanup at Questa mine

By J.R. Logan

The Taos News

TAOS — The Chevron molybdenum mine near Questa is considering an alternative method of disposing of tailings that could reduce the potential for contaminating water and speed up a massive cleanup of mine waste.

Chevron is considering a plan to convert from “slurry” to “paste” tailings, which would mean the existing tailings ponds and the 9-mile pipeline that runs from the ponds to the mine site would be decommissioned.

This would reduce the potential for hazardous pipeline spills, which were common between 1966 and 1991. State and federal regulators also say the plan would allow them to better address illegal leakage of contaminated water from the tailings ponds for at least 20 years.

The mine is in the early stages of a $800 million cleanup mandated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency to prevent further pollution of the Red River. The mine was officially listed as a Superfund site in September 2011.

For decades, tailings have been piped from the mine site east of Questa along the Red River, to a tailings facility west of Questa. But recent data show about 75 percent of the water sent to the facility can’t be accounted for. According to Chevron, the volume of contaminated water leaking from the tailings ponds ranges from 600,000 gallons a day to 3.16 million gallons a day, depending on the level of activity at the mine.

reduce illegal discharges and eliminate the risk of continued spills from the pipeline.

Chevron spokesperson Margaret Lejuste said the company is studying the feasibility of building a facility to process paste tailings and finding a way to get the tailings uphill to be stored in an open pit that is no longer being used for mining.

“We are all very excited about the project,” Lejuste said, noting that the company’s executive committee has not yet made a final decision.

Rachel Conn with Taos-based environmental group Amigos Bravos said converting to paste tailings “is good first step” in stopping illegal discharges from the tailings ponds. “We see it as a victory for Amigos Bravos and all the local stakeholders who have kept up the constant drumbeat of pressure on the mine over the years,” Conn said.

Conn noted that Amigos Bravos would continue to fight to stop the uncontrolled discharges at the tailings ponds.

Chevron is allowed to discharge mine water at approved locations under a permit issued A 2003 aerial view of the Chevron molybdenum mine near Questa. NEW MEXICAN FILE PHOTO by the EPA.

ENMU students want say in stadium construction

PORTALES — Only full-time Eastern New Mexico University students will decide the fate of a proposed $8 million football stadium to be built on campus.

But Portales News-Tribune reports that some part-time ENMU students want a voice, especially since they also will have to pay toward the stadium construction.

ENMU Student Body President Justin Aguilar says the student government has been flooded with inquiries on why part-time students aren’t allowed to vote.

Last month, ENMU President Steven Gamble said the school needs help from students to fund a new football stadium on campus.

Gamble said the board of regent could have increased fees for the stadium without a student vote but felt it was only fair to receive full-time student input since students would pay for half of the bill.

Councilor Ron Trujillo sided with Bushee, saying a specific salary would have to be part of any ballot question.

Councilor Bill Dimas also wanted to know where the city government would get the money to pay for an increase in the mayor’s salary. “I’m just curious … how we will pay for a full-time mayor of up to $150,000,” he said. “I think it’s a question that many of the citizens have. I know I have it.”

The council will hold at least two more public hearings on the strong-mayor proposal and other charter changes before deciding whether to put them on the ballot in the March 2014 municipal election. The next public hearing will be Oct. 3 at the Santa Fe Public Schools’ Educational Services Center, 610 Alta Vista St., City Clerk Yolanda Vigil said.

Prosecutors say Rice jumped on a suspect who had surrendered and delivered the blows to the 20-year-old in May 2012. A video shows a second officer put his foot on the suspect’s face while Rice punched the man three times in face.

But Zach Ives, Rice’s attorney, said the suspects created the situation.

Rice is charged with two misdemeanors, battery and aggravated battery.

The case came as Albuquerque police faced calls for a U.S. Justice Department probe into allegation of excessive force. The federal department launched an investigation shortly after.

Man goes on trial for leaking word of wiretaps ALBUQUERQUE — A trial has begun for a man accused of leaking word of wiretaps that were part of an investigation into a southern New Mexican border town gun smuggling ring.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that Danny Burnett is on trial in federal court in Albuquerque.

Burnett has pleaded innocent. He’s the husband of an assistant U.S. attorney and he is accused to telling a friend who was the chief of police in Columbus about the wiretaps.

Another man who allegedly led the gun smuggling ring subsequently fled and remains a fugitive from charges of conspiracy and firearms smuggling.

The government lawyer who is married to the defendant has denied knowing about the wiretaps or telling her husband about the investigation.

The Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah man accused of plotting a deadly attack on a luxury outdoor shopping center in the heart of Salt Lake City this week told investigators he planned to “randomly shoot and kill people.”

Jack Harry Stiles, 42, told a crisis counselor he was preparing to “kill as many people as possible” on Wednesday because it marked the anniversary of his mother’s death, authorities said.

Jail records show Stiles was booked into the Salt Lake County jail Monday and remains there on $1 million bail. The Salt Lake Legal Defender’s Office said he didn’t have an attorney yet.

Court documents show Stiles didn’t have any weapons but was planning to buy two guns with silencers and stock up on ammunition. No motive was clear, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said.

Police first learned of the plan Aug. 12 when a West Valley police officer was dispatched to Pioneer Valley Hospital by a crisis worker. At that point, investigators began looking into Stiles’ background.

Family members told investigators the man had a history of mental illness and making threats, the district attorney said.

Gill told The Associated Press that authorities were motivated to take action by the Washington Navy Yard shooting last Monday that left a dozen people dead. That suspect had a history of violent and erratic behavior.

Stiles was “fixated” on carrying out his deadly plan Wednesday, driven by the “triggering event” of his mother’s death. He may have had a delusion about their relationship that investigators haven’t been able to verify from the man’s ramblings, Gill said. Stiles spoke at length after being

given his Miranda warning against self-incrimination.

The suspect planned to open fire at City Creek shopping center, the $1.7 billion centerpiece of Salt Lake City that spans two city blocks, charging documents say.

He also told investigators he planned to shoot “people’s heads off” at a movie theater across town, and then wire a bomb underneath a transit bus.

His plan was to carry five extra magazines, and he had “scoped and mapped out the best spots” for hiding to “kill the most amount of people,” charging documents say. They didn’t say why Stiles wanted to do it, whether he offered a reason, or why the anniversary of his mother’s death was a motivating factor.

The charging documents do not say why Stiles was at the hospital.

Barry Rose, who manages Salt Lake County’s crisis line at the University of Utah’s Neuropsychiatric Institute, said the crisis worker handled the situation correctly. Confidentiality goes out the window when somebody makes a credible threat to hurt others, he said.

“There is a duty to warn,” Rose told the AP. “It is a requirement that we all live with.”

Court records show Stiles has only one other, minor, incident on his criminal record in Utah.

He had a run-in with Utah Transit Authority in October 2011 when he was charged with not paying his fare. Stiles failed to appear in court on the charge, was arrested on a warrant and booked in jail for a time. Most recently, he planned to fight the charge at a trial.

Investigators couldn’t say whether Stiles was capable of carrying out his latest plan, but Gill said they decided to take the threat seriously.

Morton’s attorney called the resignation overdue. Anderson is also facing a lawsuit that accuses him of professional misconduct.

“Judge Anderson deserves a fair trial, but if there are findings against him in either proceeding, we would expect that appropriate penalties be imposed,” said Barry Scheck and John Raley, Morton’s attorneys, in a joint statement.

Anderson has apologized to Morton for what he called failures in the system but said he believes there was no misconduct in the case.

Christine Morton was beaten to death in the family’s north Austin home in 1986. Another man earlier this year was convicted of her killing and sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Air National Guard helicopters have airlifted more than 3,000 people and nearly 900 pets to safety.

“We are really happy that we were able to clear all the missing folks,” Larimer County sheriff’s spokesman John Schulz said, adding that deputies were saddened by the deaths.

The woman who is missing and presumed dead is 60 and lived in hard-hit Big Thompson Canyon. Schulz said eyewitnesses saw the woman in the water, and searchers have found no trace of her. Her name hasn’t been released.

The death toll was dramatically lower than the 144 people killed in 1976, when a flash flood thundered down Big Thompson Canyon. About a foot of rain fell at the head of the canyon in just four hours, triggering the deadliest flash flood in state history.

The difference was that this month’s floods, which started in earnest Sept. 12, arose over a period of days, giving most people time to get to safety, Schulz said.

Researchers creating wildfire ‘Richter’ scale

By P. Solomon Banda

The Associated Press

DENVER — Federal researchers have been working on a system to measure and predict the destructiveness of wildfires — similar to the way officials use the magnitude scale for earthquakes and other tools to rate and evaluate tornadoes and hurricanes.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology hopes its Wildland Urban Interface Hazard Scale will tell residents the likely intensity of a wildfire burning into their neighborhood. The scale would allow city planners to assign better building codes for the millions of people who live in fire-prone areas in the West and would also measure how those homes could contribute to the spread of a fire.

The proposed scale would range from E1 to E4 — with E4 being a location’s highest exposure to fire, be it from grasslands to a forest in a remote mountain canyon. Building codes and buffer zones between homes and forest could then be set accordingly.

Nelson Bryner, research engineer for the institute’s fire research division, envisions the day when TV stations report that a wildfire is burning in an E4 community. But he said the scale is primarily meant to form the technical foundation for tougher building codes to be developed by states, cities and communities for high-risk areas.

“If you’re going to build there, then you need to use the following designs,” said Bryner, who introduced the scale at a recent International Association of Fire Fighters conference in Denver.

Insurers also are eager for results. Payouts after western wildfires have grown exponentially. In the 1970s, wildfires destroyed about 400 homes nationwide. Since 2000, wildfires have destroyed about 3,000 homes per year, according to NIST. In Colorado alone, wildfires accounted for more than $858 million in insurance claims in 2012 and 2013, according to the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association. More

than 1,100 homes have been destroyed in 2012 and 2013.

Alex Maranghides, manager of NIST’s Large Fire Laboratory, and William “Ruddy” Mell, a combustion engineer for the U.S. Forest Service, came up with the idea, which would be applied to forest, grasslands and other wildland where homes have been built or are being constructed — a vast area known as the Wildland Urban Interface.

Researchers are analyzing building materials, grasses, trees, shrubs, topography, weather patterns and especially the behavior of wind-driven embers as ignition fuel.

Embers sailing up to a halfmile ahead of a fire destroy more than 50 percent of homes during wildfires, according to insurance and fire experts.

But they have not been closely studied.

Several agencies and states already have fire prediction tools or maps. But Mell said those models are based on research conducted in the 1960s and only consider similar types of fuels — large stands of trees, for example. Most building codes are based on direct flame exposure and don’t factor in dangerous ember showers, Maranghides said.

The NIST, which is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, developed an ember generator it calls “The Dragon” that it uses to test the flammability of homes. It used the device in a test to shower a house with embers at the International Institute for Business and Home Safety’s test facility in Richburg, S.C., and more tests are planned.

Many assumptions behind building codes haven’t been tested under real-world conditions, NIST researcher say.

Buffer zones between forest and homes, for example, frequently are 100 feet. Bryner and Maranghides suggest that’s not enough. One reason: the ember threat.

Roof tiles billed as fireproof often fail because embers racing well ahead of a fire can infiltrate tiny cracks between the tiles.

They also can ignite wooden house frames beneath fire-resistant siding, said Steve Quarles,

senior scientist at the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety.

NIST has already developed a mobile app and is developing other computer programs that will allow fire marshals, building inspectors and others to rate an area before a fire starts.

Researchers caution it will be several years before that happens.

DENVER — The final six people who were unaccounted for after massive flooding in Colorado have been found safe and well, authorities said Tuesday, but new spills were reported in water-damaged oilfields.

Only one person remained missing and presumed dead.

Eight deaths have been confirmed.

It was a remarkable outcome after a disaster that damaged or destroyed nearly 2,000 homes, washed out hundreds of miles of roads and left many small mountain towns completely cut off.

In the early days of the flooding, more than 1,200 people were listed as unaccounted for, but the list shrank quickly as people checked in after they were evacuated.

Meanwhile, the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission said three new spills totaling at least 7,600 gallons had been discovered as floodwaters receded.

Regulators are now tracking 11 notable leaks totaling at least 34,500 barrels, mostly from storage tanks that toppled or otherwise failed.

Flooding has hampered

vice said between 7 and 18 inches of rain fell over an eight-day span, primarily in Larimer and Boulder counties.

Five of the final six people who were unaccounted for contacted authorities after their names were made public, Schulz said. Investigators found the sixth person after realizing they had been working from an incorrect spelling of his last name.

No official estimate has been released on the cost of the floods, which wiped out 200 miles of state roads and 50 state bridges.

State transportation officials say the road damage will top $100 million. U.S. Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet of Colorado introduced legislation Tuesday to remove a $100 million cap on disasterrelated federal assistance for road repairs.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said it had approved $22.1 million in individual assistance, most of it to help people to repair homes or find temporarily rentals.

More than 15,600 people have applied for FEMA relief.

Vice President Joe Biden flew over some of the damage Monday and promised that federal aid won’t stop even if a possible shutdown of the federal government occurs.

TRAVEL El Moro’s nachos look nothing like the piled-high versions you find in the States. Layers of beans, dark red sauce and queso blanco melt into the chips. WHITNEY PIPKIN/THE WASHINGTON POST

Cozumel eatery dishes it out from the heart

By Whitney Pipkin

There’s nothing more vacation-altering (in a good way) than meeting a traveler who has been visiting the place you’re visiting every year since before his now-teenage kids were born.

During the boat drive from one of Cozumel’s renowned dive sites back to our hotel, my husband and I and the couple we were traveling with met such a man, who informed us of basically everything one had to do while on this island off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. We took mental notes and quickly reshuffled our utterly unscheduled days to heed his advice.

And — after said advice led us to a restaurant that became our most memorable experience on the island (right up there with seeing sharks) — we wished that we had asked the guy more questions.

El Moro is the sort of eatery that plays to a Rick Steves sort of traveler, the kind who wants to eat like a local and have a conversation with the people behind the food. It’s off the island’s main strip, providing openair dining in what was once the owner’s home.

Go there once, and you’re bowled over by the comfortably authentic food and the hospitality. Go there twice, and you’re family.

If you hold still long enough, it’s likely that you’ll get to hear the restaurant’s endearing story, told to us by one of the owner’s three sons, Ray Chacón.

According to Ray, when his father, Rodolfo, first visited Cozumel to scout out a location for his cantina, he was struck by a car and told that he would never walk again, let alone open the restaurant.

After struggling with his injuries for years on the mainland, Rodolfo decided that the Cozumel restaurant dream was not dead. One day, he told the family to pack up “because Cozumel did this to me, and Cozumel is going to pay me back,” Ray tells us in accented English, waving his arm back and forth for emphasis.

El Moro quickly became a hit on the main tourist strip before Rodolfo, now 73 and walking just fine, decided to appeal to a more local crowd and move the restaurant to a neighborhood two miles away.

The visitors still find the place, year after year, and there are hugs all around when a familiar face walks in the door. Pictures of the regulars, and a few celebrities, hang on the bright orange walls.

And that’s not to mention the food. I was so enamored of my grouper en papillote the second night we ate there, I asked for the secret (assuming that it was butter or coconut oil).

Ray told me that it was “corazón.”

“Doesn’t matter if it’s scrambled eggs, if you make it from the corazón, the heart, that’s what matters,” he says.

Were it not for the mango margarita already lulling me into a blissful state, I might have said, “Really?

Because it tastes like butter.”

But the place quickly works its Mexican charm on you. When you watch the sons tell their father’s story with tears welling in their eyes or describe a menu item with such gusto that you’d think they hadn’t eaten in days, you lap it right up.

If you decide to walk to the restaurant, as we did after taking a Zumba class nearby — talk about local experience — the residents kindly point you in the right direction. If you just give them the name, most taxi drivers can get you there from your resort.

Our first night at El Moro, we sit down to salsa and, by the time it starts to kick, mojitos bring the cooling mintiness that we’ve come to expect on Cozumel (when eating beyond the walls of our watered-down all-inclusive resort).

The nachos we order arrive in a nearly unrecognizable state, nothing like the piled-high versions you find in the States. The layers of beans, dark red sauce and queso blanco melt into the chips — and then our mouths. They disappear before we can verbalize our approval beyond full-mouthed groans and nods.

Ordering the main course at El Moro is perhaps the hardest part. The number of choices makes you leery, thinking that they’re doing too many things and none of them well. Then the food arrives, and you realize that the problem is instead the vast number of order-worthy items on the menu — fresh seviche, Yucatán pork and a locally renowned Cuban sandwich, to name just a few — and that this place isn’t close enough to wherever you call home).

Surprisingly, the item I find myself longing for — the one that brought us back two more times that week — is the restaurant’s house-made butter pecan ice cream. Yes, ice cream, in a town that doesn’t hesitate to call gelato “chill-ato” to entice tourists.

I found it unbelievable, too, and went on a butter pecan sampling spree upon our return to Washington, only to declare El Moro the winner.

It’s logical to assume, based on the restaurant’s approach to its meals, that the concoction included both butter and pecans in some form. But there was something else making it utterly creamy and craveworthy.

Coconut milk? Nicotine? Oh heck, it must have been the corazón.

“The problem is, ‘surf culture’ is about so much more than just riding a wave. It is about having a genuine respect and connection with the ocean,” said Zac Heisey, a surfer and freelance writer who addressed the debate on his blog, In The Name of Surfing.

Others are concerned that the energy required to power waves big enough for surf parks will contribute to global warming.

Momentum around surf parks has been growing since the 1960s, but fewer than a dozen serious parks currently exist in locations from Florida to Malaysia — and cost and wave technology have always been stumbling blocks.

That technology has now advanced enough to make parks economically viable, but operators will need to build near large population centers and make the pool the centerpiece of a larger development to make a profit, said Tom Lochtefeld, owner of Wave Loch, a wave technology company.

Some of the biggest and bestknown include Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon in Florida, Wadi Adventure in United Arab Emirates and Wavegarden, a private research and development site tucked away in Spain’s Basque country.

Flavors of autumn attract all the bears

Monster zucchini doesn’t have to be a gardener’s nightmare — just

A

pparently, there are bears in the neighborhood. According to the news, which is always 100 percent accurate, more bears than usual have been traipsing down the mountain this autumn and making their way to our little patch of otherwise bearfree, quasi-urban paradise, making you fear for your life every time you go outside with a bag of trash, hoping you Tantri Wija don’t find a Beyond Takeout 300-pound, razor-clawed overgrown hamster nosing through your garbage bin.

One could mindlessly assume that the bears’ presence here has something to do with “biology” and the “instinct” that causes them to shuffle toward the largest available food source (us and our garbage) in an attempt to fatten up for winter. But the essence of good science is the exploration of explanations beyond the given establishment. After all, the bears had all summer to raid our poorly guarded barbecues for kosher wieners and baby back ribs.

It’s easier in summer — people eat outside, and as everyone knows, walls make the very best bear repellant. So why are they here now?

Possibilities include: u The bears are here for the green chile. Simply driving around, one gets a waft of umami-roasted air emanating from the parking lot of every grocery store in town. It is conceivable that with the right wind direction, that scent could waft up the mountain. The bears, like the rest of us, follow their noses to the source, buy 10 pounds of chile, and freeze it forever, never actually getting around to using it because they eat out so much and can just order green chile on their burgers. u The bears are here for the pumpkins. The country’s periodic pumpkin obsession this year coincides suspiciously with the influx of bears, leading one to speculate that they, like us, suffer from the annual spice lust that leads us to pump our designer coffees, breakfast pastries, Oktoberfest beers and seasonal sausages with that distinctive mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, which we all associate with falling leaves. This year, perhaps it would be wise to lay off the pumpkin spice candles and pumpkin spice body cream lest the bears mistake you for a flavored latte, with unfortunate results. u The bears are here because, like everyone else, they get really tired of the Paleo diet around the holidays. Fresh-caught salmon, vaguely underripe berries and ant larvae might be great for the summer, when the bears are running mud-themed obstacle courses and showing off their abs to potential mates. But even bears get cravings for bread pudding and meat loaf when the weather starts to turn, and

Giant zucchinis are perfect for stuffing. Scoop them out and add farro, red pepper and feta. ANNE CUSACK/LOS ANGELES TIMES

Los Angeles Times

t’s every gardener’s secret September shame: Those zucchini plants you’ve been nursing along all summer suddenly have gone ballistic.

Maybe you went away on vacation for a week. Maybe you merely turned your head for a moment. But what once was a promising little squash fingerling suddenly seems as big as your arm.

The conventional wisdom is that the only use for zucchini this big is compost, preferably added in the dead of night so that none of your neighbors can see what you’ve done.

As usual, the conventional wisdom is wrong. Just stuff them.

Although these big zucchini may no longer be good for cooking by themselves (the marrow is too

watery), with a little preparation they make ideal cases for all kinds of fillings. And there are few things more flexible and more delicious than baked stuffed squash.

Stuff them with whatever you have on hand.

Bake them with a sauce or not. Serve them hot or at room temperature. Just take a minimum of care and they’re going to be good. Stuffed zucchini is kitchen economy at its best: Nothing goes to waste, and a little bit of this and that only makes it better.

The best zucchini for stuffing are those just on the cusp of monster-dom: ¾ to 1 pound. Cut them in half lengthwise. A melon baller is the best tool for hollowing out the center. Start with the biggest spoon, and scoop out little balls just as you would for a honeydew salad. Then switch to the smaller spoon and smooth out the sides. You’ll end up with something that looks kind of like a canoe. Don’t trim too much or the squash will collapse during baking. Leave about ¼ inch along the sides and a little more than that along the bottom.

If you’ve got really big zucchini, cut them into roughly 3-inch sections and then hollow them into cups. If for some reason you’ve decided you’re going to stuff smaller zucchini (petits farcis, anyone?), just shave a bit along one side and use that as the starting point.

Don’t throw out the cores. Dry them out by chopping them coarsely, then sauteing them until they cook down and lose their moisture. That’s the

base for the filling. You can add bits of whatever you have on hand for flavoring: ground lamb, Italian sausage, sautéed peppers, cooked rice or grains, cheese, herbs — stuffed zucchini is almost endlessly adaptable.

Bind the mixture with beaten eggs if you’d like.

Or not. If you do, you’ll probably want to add extra grated cheese and some fresh bread crumbs to absorb any extra moisture.

Some cooks prefer to stuff the zucchini raw and cook everything through during the baking. I like the texture and flavor a little better when I steam the zucchini until it’s almost done, then stuff and bake for a briefer time.

Whichever way you go, you’ll want a little moisture in the baking dish, if only to prevent the zucchini bottom from scorching. A tomato sauce is always a good idea, preferably one spiked with capers or olives or something else to give it a little pop. Or you can go with a simple light broth or

flavors would only improve.

The base of this chili is ground chicken and white beans, both of which are affordable. If you can’t find ground chicken, use ground turkey. And if you’re not a fan of either, you’re welcome to swap in lean ground beef.

As written, this recipe isn’t especially spicy. To save time, I call for canned green chile peppers (which are quite mild) and generic chile powder (a blend of ground chile peppers and spices, often oregano and cumin).

But if you wanted to heat it up, you can lose the canned chiles in favor of fresh ones. Poblanos — roasted, peeled and chopped — would be perfect, as would

Remove the mixture to a bowl to cool, then stir in one-half cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano and the bread crumbs, and season to taste with more salt and pepper. The mixture should be highly seasoned. Stir in enough of the beaten egg to make the mixture hang together.

Without cleaning the skillet the zucchini was cooked in, add another tablespoon of olive oil, then add the garlic and cook over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes and the capers, and cook, scraping any flavorings from the base of the pan, until the sauce just begins to thicken, about 20 minutes. Add salt to taste.

Spoon the tomato sauce into the oiled gratin dish. Spoon the cooked sausage mixture into the hollowed-out zucchinis, mounding on top, 4 to 6 tablespoons per zucchini.

Arrange the stuffed zucchini in the gratin dish; they may fit quite tightly.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the onion and red pepper, then cook for 5 minutes or until the onion is softened. Add the chicken and cook, breaking up the any large pieces, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic, chile powder, flour, cumin and oregano and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Add the white wine, if using, and the broth in a stream, whisking. Bring the mixture to boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, use a fork to mash 1 cup of the beans. Add both the whole and mashed beans and the chiles to the chili and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and cook until hot. Season with salt and pepper.

Ladle the chili into bowls and accompany at the table with scallions, cilantro, cheese and lime wedges.
