yewitnesses are stars of the courtroom. All at once, they can be sincere, honest, utterly believable and dead wrong. “It’s a human system, and humans make errors,” says Gordon Rahn, director of the Innocence and Justice Program at The University of New Mexico. His innocence project now is focusing on three men convicted of separate murders Milan in New Mexico Simonich during the 1980s. Ringside Seat Rahn says DNA evidence, still to be obtained and analyzed, may cast doubt on the guilty verdicts returned against some or all of the three. Eyewitness accounts played a part in each of their convictions. Advances in DNA technology could expose weaknesses or errors in 30-year-old testimony of the witnesses, Rahn says. He will not identify any of the of defendants at this stage, saying the innocence project wants to build each of the cases before discussing them publicly. Rahn, though, is outspoken in his support of a bill that state Sen. Cisco McSorley is sponsoring to enhance the accuracy of eyewitness identifications.

About 150 people gathered Sunday afternoon on the Santa Fe Plaza to show support for democracy and free speech, while also honoring 17 people killed in France last week during a three-day terrorism spree that began with an attack on the Paris office of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo. While Sunday’s event was mostly a silent affair, some of the participants broke into an impromptu rendition of “La Marseillaise,” the French national anthem. Many carried signs of solidarity that read “I am Charlie,” “Je Suis Charlie” and “Yo Soy Charlie,” representing the varied cultural background of the demonstrators. A few carried the French flag. Perry Bendicksen, honorary French counsel for New Mexico, gave what amounted to the only public speech at the event when he thanked the crowd for attending and said, “We’ll show together that love is stronger than hate and friendship is stronger than senseless violence.” Sunday’s gathering, organized by local French-speaking organizations Santa Fe Accueil and Santa Fe French Language Meetup Group, was one of many that took place around the world. In Paris, more than a million people demonstrated. Berlin, London, Rome, Boston and New York were

Unemployment insurance changes bring some hikes Some local businesses surprised by increase under new rate formula By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican
Silas Peterson doesn’t own a construction company or a hotel where seasonal workers might come and go. He owns an employment agency with four full-time staffers and some 200 temps who get placed in jobs based on demand. In the past three years, Peterson’s The Hire Firm has processed $2.5 million in payroll and has paid out $28,000 in unemployment claims. Yet, his 2015 unemployment insurance premium paid to the state of New Mexico is increasing to $30,000 a year, up from $8,000. “We’ll be paying four times what the rate has been in the past. That’s a big impact. We’re really not a very large business,” Peterson said. His rate of 4.92 percent of taxable wages is close to the state maximum. “It seems we’re being asked to

PARIS n extraordinary chain of 1.5 million people, led by a group of world leaders linking arms, marched down the Boulevard Voltaire in a show of force Sunday meant to illustrate the power of unity and freedom of expression over the sting of fanaticism and terror. After a barrage of violence that traumatized the nation and left 17 victims dead, the boulevards of Paris produced a striking counter image: French President François Hollande arm in arm with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, flanked by the likes of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and a host of European and African leaders. An estimated 4 million people nationwide — more than a third of them in Paris — mobilized, with sister demonstrations of support erupting from Ramallah to Sydney to Washington. “Paris is the capital of the world today,” Hollande said. Yet the show of solidarity could not entirely dispel the unease that has followed the attacks. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr., who was in Paris for a security conference, said on CBS’ Face the Nation that the prospect of “lone wolf” terrorist attacks in the United States “frankly keeps me up at night.” Israeli leaders urged European Jews to move to Israel to escape antiSemitism. But out on the streets of Paris, Christians, atheists, Jews and Muslims stood side by side, sending up shouts of “Charlie, Charlie, Freedom of speech!” — a reference to Charlie Hebdo, the satirical newspaper whose offices were attacked by Islamist extremists at the start of three days of terror last week. Crushing throngs filled the streets with the red, white and blue of the French flag as tearful family members of the fallen walked in a place of honor on a symbolic 2.1-mile path from the Place de la République to the Place de la Nation. A group of Muslims threw white roses from the sidewalks. The monumental robes of a giant Marianne, the symbol of
pay the highest rate even though we have a history. A four-fold increase is just crazy, why can’t they do it gradually?” he said. The unemployment insurance system is funded by premiums paid by businesses — government, private and nonprofit. The money is deposited into an unemployment insurance fund and used to sustain workers who have lost jobs through no fault of their own, paying a portion of their salary for up to 26 weeks or until they find another job. The old formula relied on contribution schedules, which reflected the overall health of the trust fund, said Joy Forehand, deputy director of the Department of Workforce Solutions. Though employers were assigned a rate based on their experience and payroll size, “inadequate trust fund balances were designed to trigger higher contribution schedules, which would have raised contribution rates for all employers.

New rules to restrict hospital fee collections Law meant to protect low-income patients against price gouging By Robert Pear The New York Times
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has adopted sweeping new rules to discourage nonprofit hospitals from using aggressive tactics to collect payments from low-income patients. Under the rules, nonprofit hospitals must now offer discounts, free care or other financial assistance to certain needy patients. Additionally, hospitals must try to determine whether a patient is eligible for assistance before they refer a case to a debt collector, send negative information to a credit agency, place a lien on a patient’s home, file a lawsuit or seek a court order to seize a patient’s earnings. The rules, issued at the end of last year by the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Ser-

vice, lay out detailed requirements for nonprofit hospitals that have or want tax-exempt status, about 60 percent of hospitals nationwide. Health care lawyers said the rules could set an industry standard, influencing the practices of forprofit hospitals, because another federal agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, had endorsed them. The bureau has broad authority to supervise credit reporting companies and debt collectors. For-profit hospitals, like other businesses, are typically owned by investors and pay dividends and taxes. By contrast, if a nonprofit hospital earns a surplus, it is normally reinvested in the organization, not distributed to shareholders. Nonprofit hospitals may qualify for tax exemptions if they can show that they are organized and operated for charitable purposes and provide “community benefits.” “With these rules, it should be easier for low- and moderate-

In brief Divers find both black boxes from crashed AirAsia jet PANGKALAN BUN, Indonesia — Divers have found the second black box from the AirAsia plane that crashed more than two weeks ago, but they have not yet been able to free it from debris on the floor of the Java Sea. Suryadi Bambang Supriyadi, the operation coordinator at the National Search and Rescue Agency, says the cockpit voice recorder was located Monday just hours after officials announced the data flight recorder had been brought to the surface. He says it is stuck under heavy wreckage, and divers are working to lift it. Searchers began zeroing in on the sites a day earlier after three Indonesian ships picked up intense pings from the area. The two instruments are vital to understanding what brought Flight 8501 down on Dec. 28, killing all 162 people on board.

Fitness tracker’s data made useful Information collected from health monitors being used by companies to innovate By Brandon Bailey
k
The Associated Press
S
LAS VEGAS, Nev. t’s not just about how many steps you’ve taken or how many calories you’ve burned in a day. Wearable fitness trackers and health monitors are becoming more commonplace and diverse, but just what do you do with all of that data? “We have a lot of people buy wearables and then stop using them,” said Paul Landau, president of Fitbug, a British maker of fitness trackers. Landau attended the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas last week, promoting a series of 12-week fitness coaching programs that offer detailed and custom recommendations for getting in shape. “If you want to help people,” said Landau, “they’ve got to have more than just self-tracking.” Health monitors aren’t just for fitness buffs. Startups and big tech companies at the gadget show promoted all kinds of uses for the data generated by wearable sensors — from mindfulness exercises to figuring out the best time to get pregnant. Other companies aim to offer value by aggregating data from different sources, so it can be viewed and interpreted together. That could be useful, but it also raises a host of privacy concerns.

Turning data into an experience “A lot of wearables today are just throwing numbers at people. We’re looking to synthesize that data and turn it into an experience,” says Jason Fass of Zepp Labs, a Silicon Valley startup that makes a tiny, wearable motion sensor for tennis, baseball and golf enthusiasts.
Zepp has been selling sensors for a year, Fass said in an interview at CES, but he’s hoping weekend athletes will see more value in Zepp’s new smartphone app. It shows users an animated analysis of their swing, and lets them compare their moves with videos of pro athletes. The trend goes beyond sports. A Canadian startup called InteraXon displayed a headset that can measure brain activity, by tracking electrical impulses. It connects to an app that provides mental exercises to relax or focus the mind, but founder Ariel Garten predicts the technology might be integrated with other services in the future — to automatically adjust a wearer’s iTunes playlist, for example. Other exhibitors showed wearable motion sensors designed for the elderly person who lives alone, keeping a record of daily activity and sending an alert to family members if, for example, the wearer falls, or isn’t following his or her usual pattern of moving around the house. Colorado-based Prima-Temp introduced a cervical ring containing an electronic sensor that’s designed to track a woman’s internal body temperature. It can send a smartphone alert to the woman — and her partner — when it’s her optimum time to conceive a child.

The prospect of collecting and analyzing so much personal data — especially sensitive medical records — raises a host of privacy concerns. Consumer advocates worry the information could be used by insurance companies to deny coverage or raise rates. Speaking at CES last week, Federal Trade Commission chief Edith Ramirez warned tech companies against selling health information to data brokers, and urged them to guard against hackers. Prima-Temp’s Costantini said the information her company gathers on body temperatures and fertility might someday be analyzed for broader medical insights. But she said identities will always be shielded and all data is stored in compliance with federal confidentiality rules for health records. Companies that collect health information can’t operate in the same way as, say, online retailers who tell advertisers what kind of shoes you like to buy, said Samsung Electronics president Young Sohn. “We can’t just share that information like the marketing data you might get out of some e-commerce application,” said Sohn.

With more than 99 percent of the ballots counted, Grabar-Kitarovic, 46, won 50.4 percent of the votes, compared with 49.6 percent for President Ivo Josipovic, the center-left incumbent, the electoral commission said. The election took place in a climate of deep pessimism about Croatia’s economy. “A difficult job awaits us,” Grabar-Kitarovic said late Sunday in a speech laced with patriotic wording. “Let’s unite.

Samsung and Blackberry are also working on software to collect medical data. Silicon Valley startup Bellabeat makes several devices aimed at women, including a wearable activity tracker that looks like jewelry, a weight scale and a fetal heartbeat monitor for pregnancy. Instead of showing readings on each device, they’re designed to send information to a single smartphone app, “where you can see how your data is connected,” said co-founder Urska Srsen.
ATLANTA — The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s traveling Bible hasn’t gone on regular display since President Barack Obama used it while taking his second oath of office two years ago. The public hasn’t seen the slain civil rights icon’s 1964 Nobel Peace Prize medal in recent years, either. Both relics reside in a safe deposit box, the keys held since March by an Atlanta judge presiding over the latest — and in many eyes, the ugliest — fight between King’s heirs. The Estate of Martin Luther King Jr. Inc., which is controlled by Martin Luther King III and his younger brother, Dexter Scott King, asked a judge a year ago to order their sister Bernice to turn over their father’s Nobel medal and traveling Bible. The brothers want to sell them to a private buyer. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney could decide the case at a hearing Tuesday or let it go to trial. He said when he ordered Bernice to hand over the Bible and medal to the court’s custody that it appeared likely the estate will win the case. This is at least the fifth lawsuit between the siblings in the past decade, but this one crosses the line, Bernice argued in February from the pulpit of historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where her father and grandfather preached. Her father cherished these two items, which speak to the very core of who he was, she said.

Pay stays stagnant due to lingering recession blow
The end of long-term unemployment benefits, which provided up to 99 weeks of aid until they expired a year ago, may also be contributing to lower wages, said Daniel Alpert, managing director at Westwood Capital, said. That’s because some of the unemployed have likely had to take lowerpaying jobs. Retail or restaurant jobs that pay at or near minimum wage don’t provide much more spending power than unemployment benefits did, Alpert added. That means the new jobs won’t raise inflation much if workers can’t afford to spend much more than they did when they were unemployed.
ment isn’t igniting wages. Sales of new cars last year reached 16.5 million, the best performance since 2006. But the gains have yet to restore every auto job lost to the recession — let alone expand the industry’s employment over the past eight years. The number of autoworkers remains about 160,000 shy of pre-recession levels of more than 1 million. The reason: Companies fear returning to the days when they had too much factory capacity. So they’re squeezing more production out of less capacity. Emerging from the recession, automakers reconfigured factory floors and added robots to produce more vehicles from fewer plants and fewer workers.

are unlikely to enjoy sharp pay hikes. The number of employed 35-to-54-yearolds — the age group most likely to be in their peak earnings period — rose less than 1 percentage point in the past year.
Global reality bites No matter how much the U.S. economy improves, American workers still face competition from billions of workers in China, India, Eastern Europe and elsewhere who weren’t part of the global economy a decade or two ago. That most of those economies are stumbling only intensifies the competition for jobs. Weak growth overseas has lowered interest rates and inflation in many of the United States’ competitors. At the same time, the dollar’s value is rising against other currencies, thereby making U.S. goods costlier overseas. This limits the ability of U.S. workers to secure higher pay. Many U.S. companies can move operations overseas.

New law prompts towns to agree to rescind gun measures By Michael Rubinkam The Associated Press
Barely a week after taking effect, a novel state law that makes it easier for gun-rights groups to challenge local firearms measures in court is already sparking change: Nearly two dozen Pennsylvania municipalities have agreed to get rid of their potentially problematic ordinances rather than face litigation. Joshua Prince, an attorney for four pro-gun groups and several residents, cited the new law in putting nearly 100 Pennsylvania municipalities on notice that they would face legal action unless they rescinded their firearms laws. At least 22 of those municipalities have already repealed them, or indicated they planned to do so, according to Prince, who specializes in firearms law and is based in southeastern Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, which has a strong tradition of hunting and gun ownership, has long prohibited its municipalities from enforcing firearms ordinances that regulate the ownership, possession, transfer or transportation of guns or ammunition. Gun-rights groups complained that scores of municipalities have ignored the 40-year-old prohibition by passing their own, mainly unchallenged gun measures. Under the new state law, gun owners no longer have to prove they have been harmed by the local measure to successfully challenge it, and “membership organizations” like the National Rifle Association can stand in to sue on behalf of any Pennsylvania member. The challenger can also seek damages. At least one other state, Florida, also permits a membership organization to file suit over local gun regulations. The cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Lancaster have sued to overturn the Pennsylvania law, saying the legislation was passed improperly. That lawsuit is pending in Commonwealth Court. Shira Goodman, executive director of CeaseFirePA, is encouraging municipalities with gun laws to stand pat, at least until the legal challenge is resolved. “We certainly understand that they feel threatened and con-
cerned. We feel like they have been put in a terrible position by their representatives in Harrisburg,” she said. Reading City Council signaled last week it intended to repeal laws that ban firing weapons within city limits and require owners to report lost or stolen weapons. Officials said the city could ill afford a legal fight. “We get ourselves in trouble in terms of trying to circumvent a state law,” said Councilman Jeff Waltman. “We’re not going to solve this with a local gun law anyway.” The city of Harrisburg plans to defend its ordinances, asserting they comply with state law. The measures ban gunfire anywhere in the city and weapons possession in city parks. There’s also a reporting requirement for lost or stolen weapons. Harrisburg’s laws are intended to combat gun violence and have the support of the police chief, said Mayor Eric Papenfuse.
greenhouses,” said Raul BenitezManaut, a drug-war expert at Mexico’s National Autonomous University. “That’s why the Mexican cartels are switching to heroin and meth.” U.S. law enforcement agents seized 2,181 kilograms of heroin last year from Mexico, nearly three times the amount in 2009. Methamphetamine, too, has surged, mocking the Hollywood image of backwoods bayou labs and Breaking Bad chemists. The reality, according to Drug Enforcement Administration figures, is that 90 percent of the meth on U.S. streets is cooked in Mexico, where precursor chemicals are far easier to obtain. “The days of the large-scale
U.S. meth labs are pretty much gone, given how much the Mexicans have taken over production south of the border and distribution into the United States,” said Lawrence Payne, a DEA spokesman. “Their product is far superior, cheaper and more pure.” Last year, 15,803 kilograms of the drug was seized, up from 3,076 kilos in 2009. “Criminal organizations are no longer going for bulk marijuana,” said Sidney Aki, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection port director here at the agency’s busiest crossing for pedestrians and passenger vehicles, just south of San Diego. “Hard drugs are the growing trend, and they’re profitable in small amounts.”

seemed impossible 25 years ago. A few lawmakers complained that mandating DNA collections upon arrest seemed overly intrusive, even though suspects for decades have been fingerprinted. Using an oral swab to obtain a DNA sample was not much different from rolling a defendant’s fingers across an ink pad. That bit of grumbling aside, Katie’s Law eventually passed by wide margins in the Senate and House of Representatives. What McSorley is asking of police departments is just as practical and important. Starting with New Jersey in 2001, 11 states have established uniform standards to improve the accuracy of eyewitnesses reviewing lineups. Neighboring Texas is one of the states already on board. New Mexico makes many a list for underachievement and ineptitude. It should want a spot among the states that run police lineups as though they are part of 21st-century law enforcement. Sit in any courtroom and it’s plain that nothing is more powerful than eyewitness testimony. Any step to make the system more accurate is worth taking.

Hospital: Patient’s need a factor Continued from Page A-1 income people to get care without having to worry about a hospital or a bill collector hounding them for money they don’t have,” said Jessica L. Curtis, a lawyer at Community Catalyst, a national consumer group based in Boston. “The rules protect lowincome patients against price gouging,” Curtis said, “but hospitals can still define who qualifies for financial assistance.” Melissa B. Jacoby, a law professor at the University of North Carolina and an expert on medical debt, said: “The regulations are really important. They don’t prevent a hospital from engaging in otherwise lawful debt collection, but hospitals must first evaluate a patient’s need for financial assistance.” The rules, published in the Federal Register on Dec. 31, address a peculiar feature of hospital finances: For decades, uninsured patients have been required to pay much more than Medicaid, Medicare and private insurers pay for the same services. Uninsured patients were often the only ones who paid full “list prices” at hospitals. Under the rules, patients eligible for financial assistance cannot be charged more than “the amounts generally billed” to people who have insurance

through a government program or a private carrier. In practice, said Melinda R. Hatton, senior vice president of the American Hospital Association, this means that “no one will be charged much more than the Medicare rate.” Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, who began investigating the practices of nonprofit hospitals in 2005, when he was chairman of the Finance Committee, welcomed the rules. “Nonprofit hospitals and forprofit hospitals have often been indistinguishable,” Grassley said. “The rules make clear that taxexempt hospitals have to earn their tax exemption.” The rules clarify broadly worded provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Under the rules, each nonprofit hospital must assess the health needs of its community at least once every three years and take steps to address those needs. Hospitals that do not meet this requirement may be subject to a tax penalty of $50,000. In addition, each nonprofit hospital must establish and publicize a written policy stating who is eligible for financial assistance and how people can apply. Policies will vary. Some hospitals may offer free medical care to anyone with income below the federal poverty level ($11,670 a year for an individual), while oth-
ers may set the threshold twice as high. Others still could provide discounts on a sliding scale for people with incomes up to three times the poverty level. Hospitals often go to court to collect unpaid bills. Their collection practices have been documented in hundreds of court decisions around the country. In many cases, the basic facts are not disputed: A patient received care. The hospitals often win by default because the patients do not show up in court. The rules generally require nonprofit hospitals to give consumers at least 120 days before taking “extraordinary collection actions,” which include reporting debts to credit bureaus and using debt collection agencies. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, has taken a keen interest in health care debts. “Since September 2013, debt collection has been the top complaint at the consumer bureau,” said Corey Stone, an assistant director of the agency. “Among all debt types, medical debt tops the list.” Richard Cordray, director of the consumer bureau, said he supported the IRS rules. Moreover, he said, “consumers would benefit if for-profit hospitals and all other medical providers adopted the same approach.”

EL NUEVO MEXICANO El gran partido de la cerveza CHICAGO uchas noches después de la cena — cuando el ultimo vegetal ha sido tragado a duras penas y Papá empezó a limpiar los platos de la cocina — mis hijos y yo miramos fotos de cachorritos en Pinterest. Sí, incluso a los 13 y 16 años (¡y a los 40!) estamos tan embelesados ante la vista de amorosos perritos panzudos que los “oohhs” y los “aahhs” a veces traen a mi marido trotando al comedor para ver qué es tan encantador. Por eso me molesta tanto que Anheuser-Busch haya anunciado que la ronda de avisos Budweiser para el Super Bowl de este año incluirán un cachorrito, de esos que tocan todas nuestras fibras sensibles, en combinación con los característicos caballos Clydesdale. Los avisos de productos de alcohol que presentan perEsther sonajes y animales que son Cepeda como dulces para los ojos de Comentario nuestros niños no son nada nuevo. Recuerdo que cuando era adolescente me encantaban los majestuosos y glamorosos Clydesdales, especialmente durante su presentación como embajadores de la marca en el Super Bowl, a fines de los años 80. Los bebedores sociales quizás se sientan escépticos sobre el impacto de la publicidad en la bebida y es cierto que yo no me convertí en una adulta que bebe irresponsablemente. Para ser justos, sin embargo, no recuerdo que el Domingo del Super Bowl fuera el gigante económico y cultural nacional, de varias semanas de duración y miles de millones de dólares, que es hoy en día. Las tarifas para los anuncios durante el Super Bowl en 2015 son de unos 150,000 dólares por segundo. Y lo que es peor para las familias que no están obsesionadas con la NFL, como la mía — y que en el pasado evitaron esos anuncios subidos de tono, vulgares y de mal gusto, simplemente apagando el televisor — los padres de la actualidad no tienen ya mucho poder para evitar que estos grandes eventos aparezcan frente a sus hijos. En los últimos años, los anunciantes se han dedicado a “filtrar” o “pre-estrenar” los avisos del gran partido en YouTube y en otros medios sociales para crear comentarios y expectativas antes del partido. El objetivo de marketing de Budweiser es seguir siendo relevante para los adultos jóvenes, que se han criado durante la era de la cerveza artesanal. Entre sus tácticas, encontramos anuncios que presentan caballos, cachorritos y personajes de los videojuegos, como otro anuncio que está programado para aparecer durante el Super Bowl de este año que muestra a Pac-Man. Las imágenes de pantallas, los memes, Vines (videos cortos) y enlaces de YouTube serán muy utilizados no sólo por los de veintitantos años, que componen la generación del Milenio — blanco de Anheuser-Busch — sino también por sus hermanitos y hermanitas en Snapchat e Instagram. Después de la reacción negativa a la serie de anuncios de Spuds MacKenzie para Bud Light y la investigación de la Comisión Federal de Comercio de las acusaciones de que se estaba tratando de vender alcohol directamente a los niños, Budweiser redujo la utilización de animales adorables. Pero ahora ha comenzado otra vez a usar perros. El año pasado presentó un cachorrito durante el Super Bowl. Después, en un cambio de tono, presentó un anuncio impactante, dirigido al público joven, que mostraba a un joven que no volvía a casa a estar con su perro, porque escogía beber en forma responsable y quedarse a dormir en la casa de un amigo. El aviso llevaba la ominosa frase: “Para algunos, la espera nunca acabó” — en referencia a los que nunca llegaron a casa después de beber demasiado. Es una lástima que Budweiser no haya guardado el irresistible poder de los animales encantadores para sus anuncios de servicio público, en lugar de usarlos para enganchar a jóvenes espectadores impresionables. Y sobre la base de años de investigaciones concluyentes, no hay duda de que los espectadores jóvenes quedan indeleblemente impresionados por los avisos de alcohol. “Lo que sabemos es que millones de niños estarán viendo el Super Bowl y lo que les gusta a los niños en los avisos de alcohol son los animales y los personajes, y una buena historia,” dijo David Jernigan, director del Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth, de la Escuela de Salud Pública Bloomberg, de la Universidad Johns Hopkins. “Las encuestas en toda la nación indican constantemente que los avisos de Budweiser son el número entre los cinco avisos del Super Bowl más gustados por los niños. Y sabemos que cuanto más se expone a los niños al marketing de alcohol, más probabilidades hay de que comiencen a beber o de que beban más.” Jernigan dice que el Domingo del Super Bowl brinda una oportunidad para sostener conversaciones sobre el lado negativo del consumo del alcohol que los anuncios nunca mostrarán, como el hecho de que el exceso de bebida es el responsable de 4,300 muertes anualmente y de más de 190,000 visitas a la sala de emergencia para la población menor de 21 años. Pero, ¿quién quiere tener un momento pedagógico antes, durante o después del partido? Se supone que el festival del Super Bowl debe ser divertido — o al menos, relativamente inocuo. Pero ahí estamos, Mamás y Papás. Como con cualquier otro aspecto del entretenimiento impulsado por la publicidad, tenemos mucho trabajo que hacer.

Niños superan a adultos en vacuna de influenza Por Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican
uevo México sobresale dentro de los estados del país con más vacunas contra la influenza para niños, pero su índice cae en vacunas para adultos entre 18 y 65 años, con base en estadísticas. De acuerdo a encuestas de salud del 2012, Nuevo México empató en el octavo lugar en los Estados Unidos con un índice de vacunación de 60 por ciento para niños en edad escolar. De hecho, Nuevo México y Arkansas fueron los únicos estados al oeste del Mississippi con un índice de vacunación por encima del 60 por ciento para niños durante la temporada de influenza, la más reciente con información disponible. El índice de vacunación contra la influenza para adultos de 65 años en adelante en Nuevo México fue de 62 por ciento durante la temporada, indica el reporte. Sin embargo, para adultos menores de 65 años, el índice bajó a un 39 por ciento, que de acuerdo al Centro para el Control y Prevención de Enfermedades de los E.E.U.U. es la media nacional. En el país, ha habido 21 muertes por la influenza hasta el momento esta temporada, mientras que en la temporada 2012-13 hubo 109. Aunque la temporada de la influenza ha sido moderada en Nuevo México, sin muertes

reportadas hasta finales de diciembre, los funcionarios han redoblado sus esfuerzos ahora que los estudiantes han regresado a clases y las temperaturas son más frías. Información compilada por el Departamento de Salud indica que las visitas a proveedores de cuidado a la salud por síntomas de influenza incrementaron en la última semana del 2014, con 55 análisis de laboratorio positivos de influenza a lo largo del estado. Una de las razones del alto índice de vacunas contra la influenza es gracias al programa School Kids Influenza Program, SKIP, financiado por el Departamento de Salud para la Comunidad de la Universidad de Nuevo México, el Departamento de Salud y la Coalición de Inmunización de Nuevo México. El programa provee capacitación a las enfermeras en las escuelas para poder ofrecer las vacunas contra la influenza — ya sea inyectada o por atomizador nasal — de manera gratuita durante el horario escolar después de recibir las formas firmadas por padres o tutores, disponibles en español e inglés. A lo largo del estado, cerca de 55,000 estudiantes han recibido la vacuna en 470 escuelas, comenta Anna Pentler, directora ejecutiva de la Coalición para la Inmunización de Nuevo México en el Centro de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Nuevo México.

y, madrecito!” Grampo Caralampio exclaimed una mañana after sweeping away la nieve de la troca. “My truck está bien sucia. I believe que it is dirty a causa de toda esa sal que el highway department sprinkles en el camino. Mi amigo Butch told me que si no le quito esa salt pronto, comienza a hacer corrode el metal and que it eats right through los meros fenders.” “Oiga Larry Torres grampo,” Growing up Canutito said, Spanglish looking up de donde se estaba comiendo su Cream of Wheat con mantequilla, “¿Qué clase de nombre es ‘Butch’ for a Spanish man?” “Su real name no era Butch,” grampo replied. “It was just su apodo; su sobrenombre; his nickname. It was un apodo que sus hermanos had given him porque he always slept bien tarde. Su papá would yell at him to get up diciéndole: ‘vas a dormir hasta que se te arreviente el buche’.” “You are going to sleep until your buche bursts,” Canutito translated y luego he added, “Uh grampo, ¿qué es un ‘buche’?” “Un buche,” grampo replied, “es un saco that chickens have aquí en el cuezcuezo donde hacen store grain.” Canutito could hacer figure out que he was probably referring to el gizzard y que by ‘cuezcuezo’ grampo probably meant ‘neck’. “He was married con una witch with a capital B,” Grampo Caralampio continued. “Grampo,” Canutito interrupted him again, “La palabra ‘witch’ no hace begin con una capital ‘B’.” “Pero the word ‘Bruja’ does!” Grama Cuca interrupted y dándole un dirty look a grampo. “¡Ándale viejo!” Grama Cuca added, “Instead de estar aquí haciendo complain de tu troca toda sucia ¿por qué no la llevas al carwash and scrape off all of those mugres from it?” “Está muy frío para llevar mi troca al carwash,” grampo defended himself. “I don’t want to mojarme las manos con la hose porque falta que me dé frostbite.” “That’s no longer true,” Canutito said, levantándose de la mesa y llevando su charolita to the sink. “Nowadays tienen un carwash bien suavote en Taos. Es un drivethrough; Nomás le echa unos quarters a la maquinita and it takes your truck through y se la lava while you wait and relax adentro de la troca. Es muy moderno.” “Así vale huevo; that sounds good to me!” Grampo Caralampio exclaimed. “Vamos a llevar mi troca para darle una buena lavada en el carwash moderno.” La familia jumped en la troca sucia de grampo and they all drove off to the carwash. De suerte que grama had un bonche de quarters that she would save en el trastero every time que she sold una docena de huevos a los vecinos. She handed todos los cuaras a grampo to feed la maquinita. Cerraron las ventanas de la troca and waited for the carwash to work its magic. Pronto la troca began to moverse en el conveyor belt. De repente Grampo Caralampio noticed que su rear-view mirror en el passenger’s side estaba sticking out muy lejos. “¡Pronto, Cuca!” grampo yelled over to grama, “Pull it forward antes que la máquina tears it off!” Grama Cuca abrió la ventana de la troca just at the moment cuando el agua y el jabón began to spray. Del susto grama couldn’t find el handle para cerrar la ventana and so the soap and wáter sprayaron dentro de la troca right en su mera boca. She started yelling and cussing out grampo; echándole de contão mientras que el agua la mojaba bien drenched hasta que she looked como una bruja. “Look grampo,” Canutito said as the troca came out del carwash, “Grama looks like a witch.” “Sí, m’hijo,” grampo replied, “and she cusses como una witch with a capital B.” …

Pressman, authors of The Learning Habit: do with our learning slump.
So how do you get teenagers to study more and spend less time with their gadgets? The authors offer a clever approach I have never seen seriously discussed in our long national homework debate. Each family should pick a reasonable amount of homework time, perhaps 10 minutes for every grade — so secondgraders do 20 minutes a day and 12th-graders do 120 minutes. Once the student has worked the allotted time, he or she should stop, even if the assignments are not done. The authors provide research and case studies that convince even me that if teachers have assigned more than what fits into the reasonable period a family has adopted, they have probably included some useless busy work that is best not done at all. Once the homework is done, under the Learning Habit system, students are free to play with their devices, catch up on The Walking Dead or shoot some baskets. Learning should not be a nightly battle, the authors say, but a dependable part of the day. Good time management, once internalized, makes college and life easier. My grandsons are getting a gradual introduction to screen-heavy popular culture. They got to watch Frozen twice during a vacation last month. Their parents, and others, will find The Learning Habit a helpful addition to their shelves.
Homework can facilitate bonding By Robert Nott The New Mexican
omework. Most kids probably hate it, and it’s unlikely parents care much for it either. Actress Angelina Jolie recently joked that she is always willing to help her kids with homework — unless it’s math. “No, not math!” she tells them. But local educators say homework can build a lifelong bond between a parent and child and help them better understand one another. The parent, if he and she sticks with helping through the high-school years, can stay abreast of what children are doing in school and better communicate with them as they mature. And the child may learn that, like it or not, homework never ends. Nava Elementary School teacher William Rodriguez recently took some of his students to the Santa Fe Mazda Volvo dealership on Cerrillos Road on a career-oriented afterschool visit. The kids were shocked to learn that the workers there — mechanics, officer manager, sales personnel and others — continue to study to be certified in their fields every six months, particularly as new car models are introduced. “You mean it doesn’t end when I get out of the 12th grade?” one student asked them. No, it doesn’t. Several Santa Fe teachers said parents can serve as role models in this regard by sitting down next to their children at the kitchen table and doing their own homework, be it paying bills or reviewing work-related material, or even just reading a favorite book. Thus the parent can be nearby should the child need help. Teachers’ advice for helping with homework mirrors much of what you can find on the U.S. Department of Education’s “Helping Your Child With Homework” page: Set a regular time and place for homework; get rid of any distractions (iPhones, background music); and remain interested in what your child is doing. Read to them and with them. Don’t do the work for them, but guide them. Watch for homework overload — most elementary school teachers should be sending home 45-60 minutes of work per night with (ideally) weekends off. Frances Carreon, who has a first-grader and fifth-grader at Carlos Gilbert Elementary School, said she lets her kids unwind for about an hour after school before she sits

ANALYSIS
Private colleges are a waste of money for middle-class white kids By Max Ehrenfreund The Washington Post
Many parents whose kids have their eye on an exclusive, private college face a difficult question: Is it worth unloading your life’s savings or having your child take on tens of thousands of dollars in student loans? The average four-year private college costs over $42,000 a year for tuition, room and board, after all, while the average four-year public school costs less than half that — $18,943 for in-state students, according to the College Board. So the question is really, really important, especially at a time when nearly half of recent college grads have a job that doesn’t even require a degree. Fortunately, for many Americans — white, middleclass kids — there’s an easy answer: Don’t pay more to go to a private college. That means choosing the University of California over Pomona. Of course, if a student is getting a scholarship that heavily discounts the cost of attendance, the question isn’t as relevant. And the answer to the question is much more complicated for kids from families in other racial socioeconomic groups. But for white kids with well-educated parents, what matters is getting a college degree, not where it came from. For starters, take a large survey of college graduates published this year by Gallup. It asked graduates how they were doing across five different metrics, including financially, physically and socially. Eleven percent of graduates of public universities and private universities said they were “thriving” across all five. Twelve percent of graduates of U.S. News & World Report’s top 100 schools were thriving, essentially the same as the rest. The biggest predictor of whether a graduate wasn’t thriving was whether he or she had student loans. Fourteen percent of those without any debt said they were thriving, compared to 2 percent of those with more than $40,000 of debt. You can’t draw iron-clad conclusions from that, but those figures should be worrisome for anyone thinking about taking on student loans.

them down at the kitchen table to finish their homework together while she supervises. She said over the past month or so her older child is becoming more independent in this task and does not rely on her as much. But how do you help if you don’t know how to do the homework yourself? Nava Elementary School teacher Laura Mayo-Rodriguez, who teachers sixth grade, said, “Probably the biggest fear the parents of my sixth-graders have is, ‘I don’t remember the math skills.’ My suggestion is that you not try to figure out the answer yourself but ask your child to tell you what they learned in class that day. The kid should be able to give you an answer because they are doing this every day in class. You don’t have to know everything in order to help.” On the other hand, it doesn’t help your child if you do all the work yourself. One Santa Fe teacher spoke of a situation where a child came in with a beautiful-looking science project completed at home — by Mom and Dad. Such acts could hurt a child academically. And even though a recent study by sociology professors Keith Robinson and Angel L. Harris found that parent involvement in homework doesn’t correlate to higher grades or better academic achievement, that report stated that reading

Carreon said her first-grader reads 15 to 20 minutes every night while her fifth-grader reads 30 to 45 minutes a night. When it comes to homework duties, she urges parents to build a relationship with their children’s teachers and reach out to them for help. “Most parents are receptive to a parent’s frustration with the workload,” she said.

But these are general survey findings about wellbeing. What about a more precise measure: the income that college grads earn? Alumni of selective schools do tend to make more money after they graduate. Yet it isn’t clear whether that’s because they learned something especially useful while they were in school because they had greater talents to begin with. Economists Stacy Dale of Mathematica Policy Research and Alan Krueger of Princeton have examined this problem carefully. Relying on a survey of graduates from about two dozen colleges and other data, they compared students who applied to the most selective schools when they were in 12th grade against those who applied to schools that were still selective, albeit less so. Dale and Krueger reasoned that those who applied to the most exclusive schools were more ambitious or had more potential as judged by their parents, teachers and counselors. The two economists found that the students with more potential made more as adults, and the students with less made less — no matter where they went to school. They conclude that how much you make depends on you, not where you get in. These findings do not apply in every individual case. There’s great variation in graduation rates among private colleges and among public universities, and going to a school where you’re less likely to graduate puts your future earnings at risk. But these results do hold an important lesson for most kids who are white and whose parents also graduated from college — a huge group of college applicants. (According to the College Board, about half of students taking the SAT this year were white, and about 57 percent had parents who had at least a bachelor’s degree.)
For minorities and low-income students, a more complex picture The answer is much more complicated for blacks, Hispanics and those whose parents are comparatively less educated. In Dale and Krueger’s research, these groups did seem to make more money after attending more selective schools. The authors suggest that attending an elite school might provide these students with access to a new social circle that provides them with more economic opportunities later in life. Children of well-educated whites might already have that access and so don’t gain anything from attending an elite school. Sometimes, it’s who you know. There could be other explanations. Perhaps at selective institutions, students from different circumstances pick up from their peers a set of social cues or professional habits that allow them to fit in among America’s economically secure stratum. But even for these groups, there are important caveats. It’s conceivable that for some, borrowing to pay tuition at a private school could be a wise decision financially. Yet the more a student has to borrow, the less likely the investment is to pay off. Costs can explode if a student takes longer than four years to graduate, as many do, and if the student drops out, debt can become impossible to manage. Alternative ideas — such as starting at a community or state university, then transferring to a private one — might also be attractive.

Cosmic collision could happen one million years from now, experts say By Dennis Overbye The New York Times
A man stands near a lava eruption on Holuhraun, northwest of the Dyngjujoekull glacier in Iceland, on Sept. 1. More than four months after the country’s Bardarbunga volcano began erupting in a peaceful manner with lava merely spreading across the landscape, scientists here are still debating what will happen next. The truth is, no one really knows. EGGERT JOHANNESSON/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
A mystery bubbling below Largest Icelandic volcano is spewing lava across the landscape, threatening to erupt By Henry Fountain The New York Times
SKAFTAFELL, Iceland ust north of here, on the far side of the impenetrable Vatnajokull ice sheet, lava is spewing from a crack in the earth on the flanks of Bardarbunga, one of Iceland’s largest volcanoes. By volcanologists’ standards, it is a peaceful eruption, the lava merely spreading across the landscape as gases bubble out of it. For now, those gases — especially sulfur dioxide, which can cause respiratory and other problems — are the main concern, prompting health advisories in the capital, Reykjavik, 150 miles to the west, and elsewhere around the country. But sometime soon, the top of Bardarbunga, which lies under as much as half a mile of ice, may erupt explosively. That could send plumes of gritty ash into the sky that could shut down air travel across Europe because of the damage the ash can do to jet engines. And it could unleash a torrent of glacial meltwater that could wipe out the only road connecting southern Iceland to the capital. All of that could happen. Then again, it may not. Such are the mysteries of volcanoes that more than four months after Bardarbunga began erupting, scientists here are still debating what will happen next. The truth is, no one really knows. Volcanic eruptions are among the Earth’s most cataclysmic events, and understanding how and when they happen can be crucial to saving lives and reducing damage to infrastructure and other property. Scientists have several powerful tools to help, but in the end, they are often reduced to analyzing possibilities within possibilities, chains of potential events that could unfold in multiple ways. “Volcanoes are really difficult to predict because they are so nonlinear,” said Pall Einarsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland. “They can suddenly decide to do something very different.” Einarsson studies the earthquakes that usually accompany volcanic activity, caused by hot rock, or magma, rising within the earth and creating stresses and fractures. Seismic monitoring is essential for helping to determine if and when an eruption will occur and how it will proceed, but scientists also study the deformation of a volcano’s surface — a sign of increasing pressure within — using GPS units and satellite-based radar, and they also monitor gases and other indicators like the melting of snow or ice. “Ideally it’s a nice combination of data

from many disciplines,” said Stephanie Prejean, a research geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey at the Alaska Volcano Observatory. “And it’s easiest if the things are all escalating together, and escalating dramatically.” Over the past decade, Prejean said, the observatory has successfully forecast eruptions about two-thirds of the time for the more than two dozen volcanoes that are seismically monitored (of 130 total). In Iceland, home to 35 active volcanoes, scientists have had about the same success rate, Einarsson said. In Iceland, scientists knew in mid-August that something was happening at Bardarbunga, which had last erupted in 1910. Seismometers began recording a swarm of small earthquakes, eventually numbering in the thousands, on the north side of the volcano. This was a clear sign that magma was beginning to intrude into a fissure perhaps 5 or 6 miles below the surface. Although this was happening in a part of the volcano covered by the glacier, scientists could tell that the magma was moving horizontally and mostly to the northeast along the fissure, because the centers of the earthquakes were moving, too. Until Aug. 29, the magma was underground, but on that date reached the surface on Bardarbunga’s northern flank. The magma — which is called lava when it is above ground — spewed out in red-hot fountains. The eruption, which is off limits to nearly everyone except researchers, has continued since then. As of the end of the year, it had involved close to 2 billion cubic yards of lava — enough to fill about a thousand large football stadiums — that had spread out across 30 square miles. According to a paper published in midDecember in the journal Nature, the spreading underground magma — creating what volcanologists call a dike — extended more than 27 miles before erupting.
The spreading underground magma extended more than 27 miles before erupting. Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a University of Iceland geophysicist who coordinated the study, said the seismic information, as well as extensive deformation data, showed that the dike grew in fits and starts through the fissure, which although deep was less than two yards wide. The magma would hit a bar-

rier — essentially a narrowing of the fissure — which would cause the pressure to build up until it was great enough that the magma would overcome the barrier and keep moving. “Think of it as a subsurface stream that comes to a dam,” Sigmundsson said. “Eventually, it simply breaks the dam.” Of greater concern is what is happening at Bardarbunga’s caldera, the wide, deep valley at the top of the mountain that is filled with hardened magma from past eruptive activity. Earthquake data and GPS measurements show that this hardened magma, which acts like a plug, is sinking, probably as the hot magma below it escapes through the fissure to the north. The subsidence is astonishingly rapid, about a foot a day, and the question is how much more of this the plug can take before it breaks up. “As of now, the system seems to be relatively stable,” Einarsson said. “But it’s almost certain that this can’t last very long, and that’s what people are worried about. Because this plug is bound to disintegrate as it moves so much.” If the plug cracks apart, the hot magma below would have a new, easier path to the surface — straight up — where it would combine with ice to cause a steam-magma explosion. Such an eruption could create a large plume of ash that could disrupt air travel, as the eruption at another Icelandic volcano did in 2010. Its effects on the surrounding region could be catastrophic as well, with glacial meltwater collecting in the caldera until it overflows, causing a vast flood. That has happened countless times in Iceland’s geological history, and it is what created the eerie skeidararsandur, the vast delta west of Skaftafell that resembles the surface of the moon, as floodwaters brought huge quantities of black volcanic sand down from the mountains. The skeidararsandur could take the brunt of a flood again, although it would depend on precisely where the eruption occurred. A short distance this way or that, and the floodwaters might flow to the north, or even to the west — an especially troubling possibility given that several hydroelectric dams responsible for much of Iceland’s electricity could be damaged or destroyed. “One can never be absolutely certain about predicting,” Einarsson said. “So we have to line up all the possible scenarios and stretch our imaginations to figure out what could possibly happen.” “If these things were nicely behaved,” he added, “you’d just pour out this lava up there and the volcano would run out of pressure and that would be it.”

In a galaxy far, far away, a pair of supermassive black holes appear to be spiraling together toward a cosmic collision of unimaginable scale, astronomers said Wednesday. The final act of this mating dance, perhaps a mere million years from now, could release as much energy as 100 million of the violent supernova explosions in which stars end their lives, and wreck the galaxy it is in, said S. George Djorgovski, of the California Institute of Technology. Most of that energy would go into gravitational waves, the violent ripples of space-time that are predicted but not yet directly detected by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, Djorgovski said. And there could be electromagnetic fireworks as well. According to the theory, he explained in an email, the interactions of the black holes would drive nearby stars away, like shingles in a tornado. “However,” he added, “I think that the nature is never so neat.” Djorgovski, one of the authors of a paper published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, will discuss the research at a meeting in Seattle. The lead author is Matthew Graham, a computational scientist at Caltech’s Center for Data-Driven Discovery. The merging black holes manifested as a regular flicker in a quasar — a mass of light and energy — in a remote galaxy known as PG 1302-102. The most logical explanation, Graham and his colleagues wrote, is a pair of black holes circling each other less than a lightyear apart. “This is the most convincing evidence for a tight pair of black holes with a separation smaller than the solar system,” said Avi Loeb, a cosmologist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics who was not involved in the work, noting that other less-convincing systems have been suspected. He cautioned, moreover, that the evidence is not yet airtight; the apparent variation in the quasar light could be a statistical effect from not checking it frequently enough. If it holds up under scrutiny, the system could be a bonanza for the young field of gravitational wave astronomy. It would also provide a preview of what will happen in our own Milky Way galaxy in a few billion years when it collides with the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, sending the black holes at the hearts of both galaxies into an “intimate (prearranged) companionship,” as Loeb put it in an email. Black holes are the most extreme consequences of Einstein’s theory: maws so deep and dense that not even light can escape. There seems to be one weighing as much as millions or even billions of suns squatting like Dante’s Lucifer in the center of every galaxy. Normally they are dormant, but when they feed on stars and gas, burping energy into space, they can light up as quasars, beacons that far outshine the galaxies in which they live. Mergers of black holes should be common in cosmic history because galaxies are forever merging. Indeed, there are dozens of examples of merging galaxies in which the black holes are separated by tens to thousands of light-years, Loeb noted, some of them with beautiful jets coming from one or both of the black holes. Astronomers can rarely see the consummation of these relationships, however, because after billions of years circling each other, the last spasm happens, it is believed, in a million years or so — an unimaginably long time to a human, but unimaginably short to a star or the universe. Flanked by a pair of smaller galaxies, PG 1302-102 lies about 3.5 billion light-years from here in the constellation Virgo, and has a quasar at its center. It was spotted in the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey, which for nine years has been monitoring the brightness of 247,000 known quasars with telescopes in Arizona and Australia. Graham found that the signal from PG 1320-102 wavered by about 14 percent every 1,884 days, or roughly five years. The only thing that could so significantly affect a giant black hole, Djorgovski said, would be another giant black hole. He estimated their combined mass is that of roughly 100 million suns. The black holes are circling each other at a range of about 180 million miles, he said. That is far too small to be resolved by any telescopes on Earth, but spectrographic observations suggest there are two things there, the researchers say. The light variations could be caused by the jets of energy precessing like tops as the black holes sweep around each other, or perhaps warps in the disks of material swirling around them, Djorgovski said. The closeness of the black holes would mean that the system has evolved well past the point where supercomputer simulations of the merger would work. To find out what happens, astronomers will have to build gravitational wave detectors and wait and watch.

weapons became available at black market arms bazaars in Hungary and other former Soviet bloc countries. Those weapons helped fuel the Balkan wars, and are still available today for buyers with good connections and ample cash. More than 500,000 weapons were also stolen from Albanian arms depots in 1997, adding to the black market flow. European Commission documents indicate that nearly 500,000 other weapons lost or stolen within the European Union remain unaccounted for, and cite an increase in the number of civilian and military weapons stolen in France. A 2013 report states that “large amounts of powerful military grade weapons” have reached the European Union since the collapse of the Soviet bloc and the fighting in the Balkans. The weapons are often smuggled in cars or buses in small quantities to avoid detection. It also says upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa may make more stolen or surplus military weapons available to Europe’s criminal gangs. Still, it takes planning and care to transport weapons from the Balkans or Eastern Europe into Western Europe. Morten Storm, a Dane who claims to have infiltrated al-Qaida in Yemen on behalf of Western intelligence agencies, said he believes the Charlie Hebdo plotters had been laying low inside France while “waiting for the arms and weapons for the attack.” It was evident from video of the initial assault that the attackers were well trained in weapons use. They did not make emotional “rookie” mistakes like spraying the premises with automatic weapons fire but instead carried out the killings quickly and efficiently.
Unity: German paper’s offices firebombed Continued from Page A-1 France and personification of liberty and reason, flowed through the crowd. Authorities called it the largest mass rally in French history. Participants purposely marched down the Boulevard Voltaire, named after the philosopher of the French Enlightenment who advocated religious tolerance and freedom of expression. It was, many here said, a push back against religious extremism in a nation that puts secularism first. “We are here to show that we are not afraid, that we are all French and that we will not be defeated by fear,” said Patrick Bidegaray, a 32-year-old corporate consultant and self-described atheist who attended the march with nine friends, including Christians, Muslims and Jews. “They want to divide us, but we are France. We are the republic, first before everything. We are the republic. Today, we are one.” Yet even as the marchers spoke of unity, there was also trepidation over a toxic combination of ills laid bare by the attacks, including the increasing specter of homegrown extremism and the growing arm of the militant group known as the Islamic State. Yet in the aftermath of the attack, France faces other challenges, too, chiefly growing anti-Semitism and the possibility of a backlash against the Muslim community by the far right. On Sunday, however, the far right National Front — which won 25 percent of the vote in last year’s local elections, and which was snubbed by organizers of the Paris march — failed to draw mass crowds of its own. Roughly 440 miles south of Paris in the city of Beaucaire, Marine Le Pen, the National Front’s leader, held a modest rally of less than 1,000 under a banner denouncing “Islamist terrorism.” Some bystanders heckled and booed her. “Thank you for being here to defend the values of liberty,” Le Pen told the crowd, which had cried out chants of “This is our home!” There were early signs, however, that elsewhere in Europe — particularly Germany, where an anti-Islamist movement has seen thousands take to the streets of cities nationwide — the Paris attacks were being exploited to bring more people into the streets. Sunday’s Paris march had the feel of a pre-emptive strike: a bid by France’s mainstream majority not only to stand against Islamist violence, but also to thwart any attempt by the far right to hijack the moment for political gain.

“No Islamic State,” read one man’s handmade sign, “No Le Pen.” Still, political opportunism was certainly in the air. Some of the leaders in attendance, such as President Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon, attended the rally despite dubious track records at home on freedom of expression and tolerance. Netanyahu, meanwhile, appeared to send a message to Jews in France, a country that has seen a surge in anti-Semitic attacks and where a steady stream has begun to immigrate to Israel. He reminded them that the “state of Israel is your home.” Friday’s attack on the kosher market sent tremors through France’s half-millionstrong Jewish community that continue to reverberate. Synagogues have been receiving round-the-clock police protection amid fears of another anti-Semitic strike. “We’ve been attacked twice — first as Jews, and second as citizens of France,” said Aurelien Kalmucki, a 34-year-old who proudly waved a blue-and-white Israeli flag amid a sea of French tri-colors. “Before we’d tell ourselves that it only happens to others, but now it’s happened to us, and it can happen again.” At Paris’s Grand Synogogue, 17 candles were lit for the 17 victims. “Why do we always have to be united by tears?” said the Great Rabbi of France, Haïm Korsa. France’s Muslims, too, have been fearful that last week’s violence will only trigger an escalation, with their community ulti-
mately paying the price for the crimes of an extremist few. Marchers on Sunday said that while all of Paris was represented on the streets, the crowd seemed whiter than the city as a whole, and some wondered why France’s 5 million Muslim citizens may have been underrepresented. “Maybe they’re scared,” said Sophie Corbeau, 51 and Catholic. “Or maybe they think that somehow, Charlie deserved it.” Neither applied to her husband. “I’m here because I’m Muslim. And I’m against barbarism,” said Ndiogou Dieng, who immigrated to France from Senegal 35 years ago. The outpouring found an uncommon collection of world leaders marching arm in arm, making a statement at a time when many nations, particularly in Europe, are grappling with how to handle thousands of their nationals who have gone to fight for the Islamic State. Highlighting that threat, the offices of a German newspaper, the Hamburger Morgenpost, were firebombed early Sunday morning. Following the assault on Charlie Hebdo, it had splashed three of the French publication’s Prophet Muhammad cartoons on its front page under the headline, “This much freedom must be possible!” There were no reports of injuries. The United States was represented at the march by Jane Hartley, the U.S. ambassador to France.

Jacobson faces serious issues at CYFD
I
admire the chutzpah of Monique Jacobson in wishing to take the helm at the state Children, Youth and Families Department. She has courage and brains behind her. But she has no idea what’s ahead. Tourism represents the beautiful sun-drenched face of New Mexico we like to show outsiders, beckoning them to come and love our state. CYFD copes with the dark underbelly we’d prefer didn’t exist. They deal with the mayhem of families mired for generations in drug and alcohol abuse; the tragedy of domestic violence; the heartbreak of mental illness and the painful loss of young people failed by a faulty system. Twenty years ago, my husband and I fostered 13 children in three years. Unfortunately, I only know the fate of two of them who returned to their birth families. Both met violent ends. Jacobson is familiar with the smiles of our enchanted land. At CYFD, she’ll discover the tears. Rosemary Zibart

Energy vision I attended the Jan. 5 rally outside the hearing at the Public Regulation Commission regarding Public Service Company of New Mexico’s latest proposal. I was moved by the speakers, especially those of the First Nation who spoke about their health issues resulting from uranium, coal, and oil and gas extraction. That night I had a dream. I was trapped in a sort of Groundhog Day hell, told that if I went outside I would be killed by toxic air, poisoned water and radiation. I refused to be a captive. I thought it was better to risk death than to not be able to walk in the world. I reached into my purse for my solar flashlight and knew I could find my way with its strong beam. I realized then that the dream was a profound metaphor. We must act. The PRC can back PNM’s plan to continue its old, unsustainable way of doing
business, or commissioners can help guide us to a better future. Evalyn Bemis
Santa Fe
No solar penalties We did everything Public Service Company of New Mexico once suggested: We installed a 4-kilowatt solar array, replaced all our incandescents with LEDs and CFLs, installed an efficient heat-pump system for indoor climate control. We cut our electricity consumption in half. Now, PNM wants to penalize us for doing what it, and common sense, suggested (“PNM seeks fee for solar users,” Jan. 3). It’s time for PNM, the Public Regulation Commission, legislators and especially investors to face reality: The world of energy supply is changing drastically. The big electric utilities are dinosaurs on the eve of a great extinction. Within a decade or two, the bulk of our muchreduced energy requirements will come from decentralized private, community and co-op suppliers. Big coal, gas and nuclear plants will shut down. What’s left of PNM will be a minor company receiving small fees to tend a diminishing grid. Investors be warned! Get your money out of PNM before it’s too late. James O. Jackson and Juanita M. Wirth
Santa Fe Power on
Be part of solution There have been lots of great letters and My Views recently outlining what Public Service Company of New Mexico is planning, and how the alternate plan put forth by New Energy Economy is better for all of us ratepayers in the long run, with a higher percentage of wind and solar in the mix. You might now be asking yourself what you can do as an individual to help all of us move in the right direction. I would encourage everyone to email the Public Regulation Commission (visit
www.nmprc.state.nm.us). Ask for more co-generated solar in the plan, ask commissioners not to allow PNM’s requested monthly “special access fee” for homes and businesses adding solar, and consider adding solar yourself in 2015! It’s more affordable than you might expect with current tax credits and “no money down” financing. In many cases, it is less expensive than what you currently pay to PNM, as well as adding value to your home. Dan Baker

True colors Regarding the story (“Martinez vows to put service, children first,” Jan. 2), Gov. Susana Martinez vowed to “never compromise on lowering standards for our children” when she took the oath of office for her second term. Really? God bless Gov. Martinez. Don’t you mean “raising” standards for our children? Guess this Freudian slip shows her true colors. Jerri Udelson

rom North Carolina comes an idea that pet-crazy Santa Fe might consider adopting. Visit a hotel, check in, and enjoy the experience of having a doggie behind the front desk greet you. The dog wears a vest that says, “Adopt Me.” Should a match be made, the fortunate guest gets to take the dog home. It happens at the Aloft Hotel in Asheville, N.C., and is a way for pets to be saved from death. Since the program started in July, 14 dogs have found homes. Besides the adopt-a-pet program, the hotel also allows the guests’ pets to stay for free. The program came about through the hotel and the Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue, which rescues pets from euthanasia from animal shelters. In Northern New Mexico, of course, many pets are waiting for adoption and face death. Fun events at local pet stores bring animals needing homes to people who are considering adopting a dog. Other people visit shelters directly or contact rescue groups. There’s no reason a dog-at-the-desk program wouldn’t work in Santa Fe, as well as be popular with visitors. From dog biscuits offered at banks, to water dishes placed along the sidewalks, to animals being allowed on restaurant patios, it’s clear that this is a town that loves its dogs. And people who love dogs enjoy helping more pets live — whether by finding homes or making sure the pets we do have are spayed and neutered. (Of course, hotels should maintain pet-free rooms for people with allergies.) What we love about the hotel pet adoption idea is that it integrates animals in places where they might be scarce. Travelers on the road often leave their pets behind; but who doesn’t smile when they see a frisky dog? The playpen for the dog at the desk is in front, and travelers often gather around it to talk and make new friends, say hotel workers. Prospective pooch parents receive a home visit, fill out adoption papers and pay $175 in fees before they are approved. It’s a rigorous process, as it should be. In the process, a few animal lives are saved. It’s also good for business. The hotel in North Carolina reports that guests like seeing the dogs and enjoy staying in a place where their dogs are welcome. One tip for Santa Fe dog owners from this successful program: The dog available for adoption is always on a leash.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 12, 1915: The importance of having a law passed in New Mexico making the medical inspection of schoolchildren compulsory is emphasized by the discovery made by Dr. T.F. Tannus that in one school here there is a high percentage of defects in eye, ear, nose or throat. Several states have already passed laws requiring that pupils be examined for these defects in view of the fact that many pupils who are backward in their studies make rapid progress when the handicap is removed. Jan. 12, 1965: Española — Five experts in the field of lining irrigation ditches with concrete will address an expected 150 commissioners from 50 community ditches. Richard Cook, who arranged the meeting, said landowners who hold water rights are invited. The purpose of the meeting, Cook said, is to provide working information to commissioners and landowners on how concrete can save water and eliminate work. Also, there will be an explanation on what federal and state aid is available to ditch users. Jan. 12, 1990: Taos — A man who parachuted off the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge and then couldn’t hike out as planned was plucked from the 650-foot chasm Thursday morning by a New Mexico National Guard helicopter. The man’s family had witnessed the jump from the bridge on U.S. 64.

the only way to change the world was through her death. Suicide is a constant among transgender people; we are one of the most at-risk groups in the country. One study suggests that over 40 percent of us attempt it during the course of our lives. I was among that number. In 1986, I stood at the edge of a cliff in Nova Scotia, looking down at the Atlantic, considering the plunge into the sea below. Then I turned back. Somehow, here I am. Early transition is usually best for trans people. But for many of us it’s impossible, because of unsupportive families, because of a lack of resources, because we do not yet have the courage to embark upon what seems like a frightening path. In that scenario, the best strategy may simply be having faith in the future, and finding a way to survive until you’re able to control your own destiny. I don’t know if the things that helped me are of any use to someone born, as Leelah was, in 1997. But the last week has
given me occasion to think back on how it was I got this far. My own life was saved in part by books. When I found Jan Morris’ 1974 memoir, Conundrum, it was as if I’d found a wormhole to another universe, a galaxy where people like me could thrive. I wish I could have also given Leelah two more recent works: Janet Mock’s Redefining Realness and Kate Bornstein’s Hello Cruel World. They might have made a difference. If reading provided me with solace, so did writing. Keeping a journal, telling stories, inventing worlds gave me comfort until the time came when I had the agency to make my own choices. Narrative helped me find a through-line in the chaos of my life. There were other times, quite frankly, when simply making a lot of noise saved me, too. I pounded my family’s piano until the strings broke; I played in a band that played two songs, one of which was “Turn on Your Love Light,” and one of which was not. Making noise helped me
know I existed, helped me in some inarticulate way express the pain I felt inside. There were winter nights when I shouted at the sky. Sometimes my own voice echoed back at me. Read, Write, Scream is not exactly Eat, Pray, Love, but it worked for me. And there are lots of other resources available now that I did not have in the 1970s, including the hashtag #RealLive TransAdult that leads to many stories of people who survived and thrived. It may still be possible to fulfill at least one of Leelah’s wishes. In her note, she wrote: “My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say, ‘that’s [expletive] up’ and fix it. Fix society. Please.” Jennifer Finney Boylan, a contributing opinion writer, is a professor of English at Barnard College.

Newsmakers 5 injured near club during Chris Brown performance
Chris Brown
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Police say a shooting has injured five people near a club where Grammy-winner Chris Brown was performing in the San Francisco Bay Area. Police say Brown escaped any injury in the early Sunday morning shooting. The San Jose Mercury News says the shooting happened near San Jose’s Fiesta nightclub, where Brown was performing for a private party. Cellphone video posted online by fans appears to show Brown wincing as the shots rang out nearby, then being ushered away by others.
Seth Meyers to host NFL awards show Seth Meyers
NEW YORK — NBC’s Seth Meyers will host NFL Honors, the Super Bowl eve telecast in which the league introduces the new Pro Football Hall of Fame class and hands out awards for the 2014 season. The late-night TV host takes over for Alec Baldwin, who hosted the first four shows. NFL Honors will be held at Symphony Hall in downtown Phoenix on Jan. 31, a night before the Super Bowl kicks off in nearby Glendale. The Associated Press
orth Korea parodies. “Je Suis Charlie” tributes. George Clooney punchlines. Hollywood toasted free speech in its myriad forms, from mocking Bill Cosby to sincere words about the Paris terrorist attacks, at the 72nd annual Golden Globes on Sunday, where the tender comingof-age drama Boyhood topped all films. Richard Linklater’s 12-yearsin-the-making movie was right on time at the Globes, winning the night’s top honor, best drama, as well as best director for Linklater and best supporting actress for Patricia Arquette. The sweetly humanist film had a similarly touching effect on one of Hollywood’s glitziest evenings. Taking out her written speech, Arquette apologized: “I’m the only nerd with a piece of paper.” “Bottom line is we’re all flawed in this world. No one’s perfect,” said Linklater, accepting his directing Globe. “I want to dedicate this to parents that are evolving everywhere and families that are just passing through this world and doing their best.” The night seemed to be setting up for the top two Oscar contenders — Boyhood and Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman — to lead the Globes’ twin categories of drama and comedy. But in a major surprise, Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel swooped in to win best picture, comedy or musical. He listed a mock thank you to the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press, the collection of mostly freelance foreign journalists who put on the Globes, naming “Yorum and Dagmar and Yukiko and Mounawar.” The elegantly crafted backstage romp Birdman nevertheless won best actor in a comedy or musical for its lead, Michael Keaton, who plays a former superhero star mounting a serious play on Broadway, and best screenplay. Reflecting on his life, Keaton’s voice broke up as he thanked his son, whom he called his best friend. “Shoot,” said Keaton. “Two things I said I wasn’t going to do: cry and give air quotes.” Kicking off the show, hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler wasted no time in skewering Hollywood’s most sensitive subjects: the hacking of Sony Pictures over The Interview, the sexual assault allegations against Cosby and television’s rise as a cultural rival to movies. In an opening blistering with zingers, the duo welcomed Hollywood’s “despicable, spoiled, minimally talented brats” to the Globes to celebrate “all the movies that North Korea was OK with.” They several times visited with a North Korean Army officer, played by Margaret Cho, who voiced her displeasure with all aspects of the show. “Je Suis Charlie” reverberated through the ceremony, from signs held aloft on the red carpet by the likes of Helen Mirren to the speeches of Cecil B. DeMille winner George Clooney, who evoked the name of the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo that was recently attacked by terrorists. HFPA President Theo Kingma
drew a standing ovation for pledging support to free speech “from North Korea to Paris.” Clooney, a young lifetime achievement honoree at 53, had been among Hollywood’s most vocal about preserving free speech after hackers threatened violence over The Interview. Referring to the embarrassing emails leaked by the hackers, Clooney called the night “a good chance for us to meet face to face and apologize for all those snarky things we said to each other.” Clooney also spoke emotionally about his new wife, Amal Clooney: “It’s a humbling thing when you find somebody to love.” In one of the evening’s most hotly contested categories, best actor in a drama, Eddie Redmayne emerged victorious over Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game), Steve Carell (Foxcatcher), David Oyelowo (Selma) and Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler) for his performance as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. Julianne Moore won best actress in a drama for her startling performance as an academic with early on-set Alzheimer’s in Still Alice. Amy Adams surprised in taking best actress in a comedy or musical for her performance in Big Eyes. “I didn’t even reapply lip gloss,” said an unprepared Adams. The first award of the night went to J.K. Simmons for best supporting actor for his performance as a domineering jazz teacher in the acclaimed indie Whiplash. He thanked his confident co-star, Miles Teller, whom he called: “A young actor of such maturity and brilliance that he inspired me every day to want to scream at him and hit him in the face.” The ceremony had an orchestrated but carefree spirit, filled with the usual high dose of glamour (Moore especially turned heads the red carpet), celebrity cameos (Prince!) and even the drink-swilling return of an old Globes villain, the former host Ricky Gervais. The DreamWorks sequel How to Train Your Dragon 2 took best animated film over the favorite, The Lego Movie. The Russian entry Leviathan took best foreign language film. Amazon, crashing the party like Netflix did before it, celebrated its first — and second — Golden Globe for the sexual identity comedy Transparent, winning best TV series, musical or comedy. The show’s star, Jeffery Tambor, landed best actor in the category, dedicating his award to the transgender community. AMC’s adaptation of the Coen brothers’ acclaimed 1996 film, Fargo, came in the leading TV contender with five nominations and promptly won best miniseries or movie. Led by Fey and Poehler, the Globes have been on a terrific upswing in recent years. Last year’s awards drew 20.9 million viewers, the most since 2004. Whether this year would be as successful — despite a best picture field with only one in 10 films grossing more than $100 million: the unrewarded Disney musical Into the Woods — had to wait until ratings are released on Monday.

Ohio State, Oregon title game will crown a champion
DENVER — Andrew Luck has his signature NFL win, and it came against his predecessor, of all people. Hardly pressured all afternoon, Luck threw two touchdown passes and outplayed Peyton Manning in leading the Indianapolis Colts past the Denver Broncos 24-13 Sunday. The Colts (13-5) advanced to the AFC championship game at New England (13-4), where they lost 42-20 on Nov. 16. “I’d like to think I am a better quarterback and would like to think we’re a better team” now, Luck said. “We are well equipped to handle the unknown, the unforeseen.”
They sure were Sunday night in the Rockies, where Denver had gone 8-0 this season and averaged 35 points a game. “I think we’re playing good team ball,” said Luck, who improved to 3-2 in the playoffs with his first road win. “We’re feeding off each other. Offensively we’re making enough plays to put some points on the board. Great night. So proud to be a part of the Colts in this victory.” The Broncos (12-5) are left to deal with the hangover of yet another playoff debacle — and, more importantly, questions about Manning’s future. After saying on Christmas Eve that he planned on coming back for an 18th season, the

NFL PLAYOFFS GREEN BAY 26, DALLAS 21
Packers rally, beat Cowboys
By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press
DALLAS — Ohio State and Oregon will meet in a game that has never been played for a trophy that has never been raised. The winner Monday night in North Texas can be called the truest champion in the history of major college football. The first College Football Playoff national championship game matches the second-seeded Ducks and fourth-seeded Buckeyes at AT&T Stadium. “It’s college football history,” Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said Sunday during a news conference with Oregon coach Mark Helfrich, with that new championship trophy sitting in between them. The days of bowls, polls and the BCS having the final say about who is No. 1 are over. The playoff that fans wanted for so long — and finally got — will determine a champion without a doubt. Oregon (13-1) and its Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota are in search of the program’s first national title, the last remaining goal for a school that has barged onto the national stage over the last two decades with ostentatious flare and flashy uniforms. Ohio State (13-1) is shooting for national championship No. 5, but the first under coach Urban Meyer, who returned to his home state three years ago to take over a college football Goliath that was looking to start its next golden age. Tradition rich vs. cutting edge. The Ducks from the Pac-12 raced into the championship game with an emphatic 59-20 victory against Florida State last week at the Rose Bowl. The Buckeyes from the Big Ten upset Alabama 42-35 at the Sugar Bowl to cap an improbable rebound from an early season loss and injuries to two star quarterbacks. “This is much more of a business trip, this time around,” Ohio State All-America defensive end Joey Bosa said. “Last week we went, we hung out and had some fun. This week it’s all about business; no going out, no messing around. We’re just preparing.” Ohio State has won 12 straight since stumbling at home to Virginia Tech in September. The Ducks have won nine in a row since, all by double-digit margins, since losing to Arizona in October. “We’ve been playing, both our program and Ohio State have played with that kind of early loss, and your back was against the wall to get to this point every play of every game, the entire rest of the season, it was to the those words: do or die,” Helfrich said. For decades college football’s best team was picked by poll voters and postseason matchups were set with little regard for determining a

beat Dallas 26-21 Sunday. The Packers (13-4), helped immensely by a video reversal with 4:06 remaining, went undefeated at Lambeau Field this season. They head to Seattle next weekend for the NFC title game. The Seahawks (13-4) beat Green Bay in the season opener, 36-16. “I think I got 120 minutes left in me,” Rodgers said. Green Bay might not have had any time left in its season if not for referee Gene Steratore’s decision.
Dez Bryant’s leaping, bobbling 31-yard catch at the Packers 1 on a fourth-and-2 play was challenged by Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy. Instead of firstand-goal for Dallas (13-5), the ball went over to the Packers. “Some people think throwing the red flag is fun,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “It was such an impactful play, you had to challenge. It was a confident challenge. And a hopeful one, too.” One packed with controversy, as well. “Look, I’ll tell you this, I’ve never seen that a day in my life,” Bryant said. “I want to know why it wasn’t a catch.” Because Bryant didn’t maintain control all the

Why Dez’s catch wasn’t a catch in ‘The Reversal’ The Associated Press
For a league that already has The Catch and The Drive, this incomplete pass may go down as The Reversal. The Cowboys’ Dez Bryant appeared to make a spectacular 31-yard catch on fourth down to give Dallas the ball a yard away from the go-ahead touchdown in the final minutes of their 26-21 playoff loss at Green Bay on Sunday. Replays showed Bryant bobbled the ball as he rolled into the end zone, with part of it touching the field. After reviewing the play, officials overturned the call, saying Bryant didn’t maintain control all the way to the ground. The rule states: “If a player goes to the ground in the act of catching a pass (with or without contact by an opponent),
he must maintain control of the ball throughout the process of contacting the ground, whether in the field of play or the end zone. If he loses control of the ball, and the ball touches the ground before he regains control, the pass is incomplete. If he regains control prior to the ball touching the ground, the pass is complete.” Bryant said there was never a doubt in his mind that he caught the ball. “I had possession of the ball coming down. That’s possession, right? One, two, reach,” Bryant said. “Bam, that’s possession.” Hours after the game, Bryant tweeted: “as I went to the ground I rolled over and I tipped the ball to gain better control. We lost and I accept it but please change that rule.” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he thought Bryant got his feet down,

then made a move common to the game. “Dez reached out to the goal line like he’s done so many times,” Garrett said. “It’s a signature play for him. He maintained possession of it throughout, in my opinion.” Green Bay cornerback Sam Shields said the call was a relief on a play that could have been a touchdown at a critical point. “These playoff games come down to the inches. A good call on the refs. He went up for the ball and made a good catch,” Shields said. Referee Gene Steratore said a couple camera angles showed the ball hitting the ground, then Bryant losing possession. “At the time he lands and the ball hits the ground, it comes loose as it hits the ground, which would make that incomplete,” Steratore said.
“Although he repossesses it, it does contact the ground when he reaches, so the repossession is irrelevant.” Athletes, celebrities and others quickly weighed in on the ruling. Odell Beckham Jr., the receiver for the rival Giants who made his share of dazzling catches as a rookie, tweeted: “I by no means cheer for Dallas but I have no idea what or how thts not called a catch . Thts a joke.” The Detroit Lions also chimed in. Their star receiver, Calvin Johnson, had a similar catch reversed in 2010, and they also were stung last week in the wild-card round against the Cowboys when the officials picked up a flag that would have given them a critical fourth-quarter first down. They tweeted: “Sorry dallascowboys. We know the feeling,” with a link to the Megatron play and the hashtag “CompletingTheProcess.”

GOLF
Walker, Matsuyama tie it up for Kapalua lead By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press
KAPALUA, Hawaii — Jimmy Walker was surprised by the break on the green on one hole. He was fooled by the wind on the next hole. And when he finished his third round Sunday at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, he wasn’t sure what to think except to be happy that his final putt fell for birdie and a share of the lead. In his second year playing at Kapalua, he’s still not all that comfortable. Tied for the lead going into the final round? He’s a lot more comfortable
than he was about 15 months ago. Walker did most of his damage early with five birdies in 10 holes, and a late birdie gave him a 6-underr 67 and a share of the lead with Hideki Matsuyama. The 22-year-old from Japan made four birdies on his last six holes, including a delicate chip to the par-5 18th that he played beautifully, and matched the best score of the tournament for the second straight day with a 66. They were at 17-under 202, two shots clear of Bae Sang-Moon (69) and Patrick Reed (68). Walker will have a chance to become the fifth player to win on both PGA Tour courses in the Hawaii
swing. He won the Sony Open a year ago, part of a stretch in which he won three times in eight starts. He has experience, sure, along with some nerves. “I’m sure I’m going to feel more comfortable, just being out here longer, more mature, more experienced, that type thing,” he said. “I’ll tell you I was nervous driving to the first tee on Friday for the first round and didn’t eat all my breakfast this morning because I was pumped about the day. So I’ll be excited and ready to go.” The first PGA Tour event of the year doesn’t have a cast of stars with Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott and Martin Kaymer staying at home, though the
co-leaders going into the Monday finish are examples of why it’s getting tougher to win on the PGA Tour. Walker is going for his fourth victory since his inaugural win at the Frys.com Open to start the 2013-14 season, and he was among the few bright spots in a U.S. loss at the Ryder Cup last September. A victory would make him only the fifth player to win at both courses on the Hawaii swing. Matsuyama was the first rookie to win the Japan Golf Tour money list, played in the Masters twice as an amateur (both times making the cut) and had a breakthrough win last year at the Memorial. He is a strong player, with a pause at the top of his swing
and plenty of power through impact. Only three other players have won at Kapalua in their debut since this winners-only event moved to Kapalua in 1999. Matsuyama is not sure why he is playing so well, except for the scenery. “I like the view and so I like the course,” he said. The show doesn’t belong entirely to them, of course. Johnson was two shots behind going into the final round last year. Brendon Todd (69) and Russell Henley (70) were three shots back and still very much in the game. Henley was among four players tied for the lead going into Sunday.

Grizzlies outlast Suns in 2OT SCOREBOARD The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Marc Gasol scored the first seven points in the second overtime, Zach RanGrizzlies 122 dolph had 27 points Suns 110 and 17 rebounds and the Memphis Grizzlies outlasted the Phoenix Suns 122-110 on Sunday night. Gasol finished with 12 points to help Memphis snap a twogame losing streak. Mike Conley added 25 points and eight assists and Courtney Lee had 18 points. Isaiah Thomas led Phoenix with 20 points, but had a costly turnover trying to get the ball into the front court with the Suns leading late in the first overtime. Markieff Morris added 17 points, Alex Len had 14 points and 13 rebounds, and P.J. Tucker, Eric Bledsoe and Marcus Morris had 11 points apiece. Tucker’s layup tied it 101 with 5.9 left in regulation. The Grizzlies begged for basket interference, saying Bledsoe pulled the net as the ball was bouncing on the rim. Bledsoe’s 3-pointer with 33.3 seconds left in the first overtime gave the Suns a 108-106 lead. The Suns stopped the Grizzlies on the next possession, but Thomas gave away the ball and Lee — fouled by Dragic — made two free throws with 16.2 left. Bledsoe then missed at the buzzer, forcing the second extra period. The Suns trailed by 16 in the second half and 14 early in the fourth quarter. TRAIL BLAZERS 106, LAKERS 94 In Los Angeles, Damian Lillard scored 17 of his 34 points in the

fourth quarter, leading Portland to a victory over the Lakers. Four other players scored in double figures for the Blazers, who have won 27 of their last 32 games and are a seasonbest 22 over .500. LaMarcus Aldridge had 15 points and nine rebounds, and Chris Kaman added 12 rebounds and nine assists in his fourth start of the season and second against his former team. Kobe Bryant was rested by Lakers coach Byron Scott for the sixth time in 11 games and second game in a row. The NBA’s third-leading career scorer, playing in his 19th season at age 36, played in only six games last season due to a torn Achilles and a fracture in his left knee. Wesley Johnson returned to the Lakers’ lineup and scored 17 points after missing three games because of a strained
hip flexor. Ronnie Price had a careerhigh 12 assists, one of which set up a driving dunk by Tarik Black that pulled the Lakers into a 69-all tie late in the third quarter. KINGS 103, CAVALIERS 84 In Sacramento, Calif., DeMarcus Cousins had 26 points and 13 rebounds, and the Kings handed Cleveland its seventh loss in eight games with LeBron James out with a strained back and sore left knee. Rudy Gay added 23 points for Sacramento. Darren Collison had 16, and Carl Landry 11. Kevin Love led the Cavaliers with 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Kyrie Irving scored 14 of his 21 points in the first quarter and had seven assists. Timofey Mozgov, acquired from Denver last week, had 14 points and 12 rebounds. JR Smith struggled
after scoring 27 points in his second game since joining Cleveland in a trade with New York. He had four points on 2-of-10 shooting in 30 minutes. Cleveland is 1-8 in its last nine games to drop to 19-19.

Korver was 5 for 7 from 3-point range, improving his NBA-leading percentage to 50.2. His smoothest move, however, was a behind-theback pass to Carroll for a layup and a 64-54 lead in the third. Improving to 16-3 at home and 29-8 overall, the Hawks got 15 points from Al Horford and 11 each from Paul Millsap, Jeff Teague and Mike Scott. Atlanta has won 13 of 14 and 22 of 24.

NC State hands No. 2 Duke its 1st loss The Associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. — Trevor Lacey and North Carolina State picked apart No. 2 Duke’s defense and ended the Blue Devils’ unbeaten start. N.C. State 87 Lacey scored 2 Duke 75 21 points and the Wolfpack shot 55 percent to beat Duke 87-75 on Sunday, knocking off one of the last three undefeated teams in the country. The Wolfpack (12-5, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) ran constant double teams at preseason All-American Jahlil Okafor to slow Duke’s big man. N.C. State went 10 for 16 from 3-point range to take control, knocking down tough shots and attacking the paint. The Wolfpack stayed aggressive as Duke’s defense couldn’t get a stop and looked lost. Okafor finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds, but the Blue Devils (14-1, 2-1) shot 37 percent and just couldn’t keep up when N.C. State’s offense got rolling. The Wolfpack ran off seven straight scoring possessions to build a 19-point lead — Duke’s biggest deficit all season by far — then did enough to turn away the Blue Devils’ late comeback attempts. N.C. State led 37-33 at the break then used the big second-half flurry to push the lead to 72-53 when Lacey hit a straightaway 3-pointer over Okafor with the shot clock winding down at the 5:43 mark. The Blue Devils made a late push and
got as close as seven on Matt Jones’ 3 with 1:37 left. But the Wolfpack hit enough free throws down the stretch and got two breakaway dunks from Des Lee in the final minute to punctuate a win that ended with another court-storming celebration for the rowdy home fans. Ralston Turner scored 11 of his 16 points after halftime, including two straight 3s to break open a tie game. And BeeJay Anya added a career-high 14 points, giving the Wolfpack some of the inside production coach Mark Gottfried has been looking for all season. N.C. State also blocked 10 shots, four apiece coming from Anya and Kyle Washington. Quinn Cook scored 18 points for Duke, which missed 20 of 27 3-point tries and couldn’t make it through a pair of instate ACC road games unscathed this week. The Blue Devils had a tougher-than-expected win at Wake Forest on Wednesday. With Duke’s loss, No. 1 Kentucky and No. 3 Virginia are the nation’s last two unbeatens. RUTGERS 67, NO. 4 WISCONSIN 62 In Piscataway, N.J., Myles Mack had 19 of his 21 points in the second half, and Rutgers scored its biggest upset in school history, beating banged up No. 4 Wisconsin. Kadeem Jack added 20 points for the Scarlet Knights (10-7, 2-2 Big Ten), whose previous biggest upset was a win over No. 6 West Virginia in 1982.
Sam Dekker and Nigel Hayes had 15 points apiece for Wisconsin (15-2, 3-1). The Badgers did not have leading scorer Frank Kaminsky for the game because of a concussion, and they lost guard Traevon Jackson early in the second half with an injury to his right leg. NO. 15 WICHITA STATE 67, LOYOLA OF CHICAGO 53 In Chicago, Tekele Cotton hit four 3-pointers and finished with 16 points to lead No. 15 Wichita State over Loyola of Chicago on Sunday. Ron Baker scored 15. Fred VanVleet added 14 points and 10 assists, and the Shockers (14-2, 4-0 Missouri Valley Conference) took control in the second half. They outscored the Ramblers (12-4, 2-2) 44-25 after trailing by five at the break to pick up their 22nd straight league win. Earl Peterson led Loyola with 13 points and Devon Turk scored 11. The emerging Ramblers hit 10 of 18 3-pointers. OREGON STATE 58, NO. 7 ARIZONA 56 In Corvallis, Ore., Langston Morris-Walker made a go-ahead layup with 26 seconds left, lifting Oregon State over No. 7 Arizona for its first win over a Top 10 team since 2000. Arizona’s T.J. McConnell missed an off-balance shot with 1 second left, and Oregon State fans rushed the court at Gill Coliseum. Morris-Walker had 12 points and eight rebounds, and Gary Payton II had 10 points and nine rebounds for the Beavers (11-4, 2-1 Pac-12).
Champion: Buckeyes are 8-1 against Ducks Continued from Page B-1 national champion. The Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998, a system designed to create a No. 1 vs. No. 2 national championship game to end the season. It was an awkward and imperfect step in the right direction, often leaving everyone involved unsatisfied. The conference commissioners who ran the BCS relented a couple of years ago and decided to create a fourteam playoff. Here are some things to know about the ultimate winner-take-all-game: Super Mariota: Mariota can become the seventh Heisman Trophy winner since 1996 to win the national championship in the same season he won the Heisman. Florida State’s Jameis Winston did it last season. Another victory in what is very likely his last college game would top off a career that can go down as one of the best in college football history.
Mariota has thrown for 10,463 yards, 103 touchdowns passes and just 13 interceptions while winning 35 games in three seasons as Oregon’s starter. “Our No. 1 concern is their quarterback,” Meyer said. The Buckeyes hope to contain the fastmoving Mariota with a defensive line, led by Bosa, that is among the best in the nation. “They’ve got an awesome front seven,” Mariota said. “Big, physical guys that really control the line of scrimmage.” Meyer’s milestone: Meyer can become the second coach in college football history to win national championships with two schools, joining Nick Saban, who won the BCS title in 2003 with LSU and then three more titles with Alabama. Meyer won national titles with Florida in 2006 and 2008. A third championship would make Meyer the ninth coach in college football’s poll era (dating to 1936) to win at least three championships.
Bear Bryant leads with the six he won at Alabama. Missing: The Ducks will be down their most productive receiver over the last two games. Darren Carrington is ineligible after failing an NCAA administered drug test. He is second on the team in yards receiving with 704 and averages 19 yards per catch. He’s been especially good lately. In the Pac-12 championship game against Arizona and the Rose Bowl against Florida State, Carrington had 14 catches for 292 yards and three touchdowns. Oregon also lost Devon Allen, second on the team in catches (41) and touchdown receptions (seven), at the Rose Bowl to a knee injury. “We don’t have things in our system that it’s, hey, we need to throw this guy the ball in this play period,” Helfrich said. “That doesn’t exist.” Oh-fer Ohio State: This will be the ninth meeting between Oregon and Ohio State. The Buckeyes have won the previous eight.

Pats stay confident despite big deficits Source says Rex Ryan By Howard Ulman The Associated Press
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Skeptics pounced when a blowout loss left the New England Patriots with a 2-2 record. Quarterback Tom Brady was over the hill, they said. Maybe Bill Belichick wasn’t a coaching genius after all. But the Patriots never had doubts. Not when they endured grueling practices to get back on track. And not when they trailed by 14 points twice in their most important game — so far — of the season. “There was never any panic,” special teams ace Matthew Slater said of their 35-31 divisional playoff win over the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. “I think we just turned to each other and said, ‘Hey, man, we’ve come too far to surrender now.’ ” Even if no team in NFL history had won a playoff game after falling behind twice by at least 14 points. The stirring victory against a postseason nemesis was another step in the Patriots quest for a fourth Super Bowl title and their sixth appearance in that game in Brady’s 13 seasons as a starter. The Patriots are in the AFC title game for the ninth time in those 13 years and for the fourth straight season. They’ll host Indianapolis next Sunday. The Colts advanced with a 24-13 win over the Denver Broncos in an AFC divisional game Sunday. The Patriots routed the Colts 42-20 on Nov. 16 at Indianapolis. “Every team starts the year with great hope and we were one of those teams,” Brady said, “and we’re still standing.” The Patriots (13-4) began the season with a 33-20 loss in Miami in which they let the Dolphins come back from a 20-10 halftime deficit. After two wins, they lost 41-14 in Kansas City after falling into a 27-0 hole that even they couldn’t overcome. They began their comeback to a playoff berth with a 43-17 rout of Cincinnati, starting a 10-1 run that included consecutive 22-point wins over Denver and Indianapo-

lis. They rested key players in their 17-9 loss to Buffalo in the finale after having clinched the top seed in the AFC. Then Baltimore came to town and scored touchdowns on its first two possessions in a stadium where it was 2-1 in the playoffs. The Patriots tied it at 14 then trailed 28-14 early in the third quarter. “I don’t think that’s a formula to win a lot of playoff games,” Belichick said of the 14-point deficits, but “they’re a tough group and they never give up, no matter what the situation is.” Last season the Patriots overcame double-digit halftime deficits for two victories — 27-17 over Miami after trailing 17-3 and 34-31 over Denver in overtime after trailing 24-0. “We’ve been in some games where it seemed like we were out of it and you just keep playing,” safety Devin McCourty said. “With our offense, they can always put points on the board.”
Even after the star quarterback makes what he called “a terrible play.” With the score 14-14 with just over a minute left in the first half, Brady threw an interception to Daryl Smith and the Ravens capitalized on Joe Flacco’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Owen Daniels for a 21-14 halftime lead. Then Baltimore made it 28-14 on Flacco’s 16-yard pass to Justin Forsett. “Down 14 points through two stretches of the game and to be able to overcome that kind of obstacle, it speaks a lot about the character and the guys on this team,” cornerback Kyle Arrington said Sunday. Brady made his own personal comeback after an incompletion on his first pass after Forsett’s touchdown. He completed 17 of his remaining 22 passes. His last throw was a 23-yard touchdown to Brandon LaFell that gave the Patriots their only lead with just over five minutes left. It was Brady’s 46th scoring pass, one more than previous NFL leader Joe Montana. “Tom’s competitive,” offensive lineman Ryan Wendell said, “but he doesn’t let anything get him down.” College quarterback Julian Edelman also did his part, throwing a 51-yard touchdown pass to Danny Amendola that tied the game at 28 after taking a backward throw from Brady “You’ve got to unload everything you’ve got to win against a team like that,” Edelman said. But the Patriots have plenty of room for improvement. Against Baltimore, they rushed for just 14 yards, the second fewest in team playoff history, gave up 428 yards and four touchdown passes and had a fiveminute deficit in time of possession. Just a few more things to come back from. “You know around here we’ll come in and Bill will have everything laid out on what went wrong,” McCourty said, “and what we need to do better next game. That’ll never change.”

When he came back in, Romo was sacked on consecutive plays, the first ending the third period, the second forcing a punt. Rodgers had stood firm in firing over the middle to Adams, who cut right, shrugged off a weak tackle by J.J. Wilcox and sped into the end zone. The 90-yard drive got the Lambeau faithful back into it. Then came the decisive fourth-quarter series on which Rodgers went 7 for 7. He finished 24 for 35 for 316 yards and extended his record string without a home interception to 442 attempts. He has 39 TD passes in that span. On Green Bay’s opening possession, Rodgers mostly handed to Eddie Lacy, who rushed for 45 yards on the 60-yard drive. But Rodgers had to step up away from the rush and did so spryly before hitting Andrew Quarless in the back of the end zone. Back came Dallas with just as efficient a possession that took 7:25. Tyler Clutts was wide open at the goal line for his 1-yard TD catch. Rodgers got Green Bay close on its next drive, but was clapping his hands when rookie Corey Linsley snapped the ball.
Rodgers dropped it, recovered, but then was hit by Jerome Mincey, who grabbed the loose ball. It was a rare turnover for the Packers, who tied for the league lead with only 13 giveaways. Cornerback Tramon Williams’ botched tackle attempt on a short pass to Terrance Williams turned into a 38-yard TD and the Cowboys led 14-7. The Packers drew closer at halftime thanks to a 31-yard completion to Cobb that set up Mason Crosby’s 40-yard field goal. Crosby added a 30-yarder in the third quarter, making him the franchise’s career points leader. But Green Bay could have had more. After recovering Murray’s fumble at the Dallas 44 and getting to the 13, a 15-yard personal foul on guard T.J. Lang set the Packers back. But not for long. NOTES u Adams had seven catches for 117 yards and Lacy rushed for 101. u Green Bay had not trailed at Lambeau since Week 2 against the Jets. u Bryant finished with only three catches for 38 yards. u Romo was 15 for 19, but for just 191 yards.

and just two field goals on his final 11 drives. Each of his three seasons in Denver has ended in humbling losses, to the Ravens and Colts at home after first-round byes, and to Seattle in last year’s Super Bowl. These Broncos were better balanced with a grinding ground game and star-studded defense bolstered by John Elway’s signings of Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware and T.J. Ward to a guaranteed $60 million in free agency. But none of them came up big Sunday and the Broncos were left to deal with yet another wrenching playoff loss. Luck completed 27 of 43 passes for 265 yards with two TDs and two interceptions that were the equivalent of punts and no sacks. “We needed to win the game for us. It wasn’t about Peyton or Andrew or anything like that,” Irsay said. “It was about just us trying to beat the Broncos. Again, this was the Colts vs. the Broncos, even though the quarterbacks mean so much.” The Colts stretched a fourpoint halftime lead to 21-10 when Luck drove the Colts 72 yards in 11 plays, hitting
Hakeem Nicks from 15 yards midway through the third quarter. On fourth-and-1 from the Colts 36, C.J. Anderson eluded three tacklers in the backfield and gained 7 yards. But once again, the Broncos stalled and had to settle for Connor Barth’s 41-yard field goal that made it 21-13 with 13:50 remaining. Luck then drove the Colts 54 yards in 13 plays, chewing up more than 8 minutes before Adam Vinatieri’s 30-yard field goal made it 24-13 with four minutes remaining in the halfempty Sports Authority Field. Denver’s only lead was 7-0 on Manning’s 1-yard fade pass to Demaryius Thomas on the Broncos’ first drive. Daniel Herron’s 6-yard TD run tied it. After a Manning fumble, Luck hit tight end Dwayne Allen with a 3-yard strike to put the Colts ahead for good 14-7. “It was an unbelievable performance by the guys on the road,” Irsay said. “Onward we go. We know the trails even get tougher.” NOTES u Luck improved to 5-1 in temperatures 40 or below. u Manning fell to 2-4 following a divisional bye.
accepts Bills’ offer By John Wawrow The Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Rex Ryan is switching teams — not divisions — after reaching an agreement to coach the Buffalo Bills. A person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press the former New York Jets coach accepted in principle the Bills’ contract offer after two days of discussions. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Bills have not discussed their search to replace Doug Marrone, who stepped down abruptly Dec. 31. The offer came a day after the Bills identified Ryan as a finalist and met with him for a second time in South Florida, where new owners Terry and Kim Pegula live. Ryan was one of 12 candidates to interview for the job since last weekend. Ryan was chosen ahead of other notable candidates, including two-time Super Bowl winner Mike Shanahan, Cincinnati offensive coordinator Hue Jackson and former Bills backup quarterback Frank Reich, who completed his first season as San Diego’s offensive coordinator. At the same time, a second person familiar with the talks told the AP the Bills are negotiating to hire Greg Roman as offensive coordinator. Roman, a finalist for the Bills’ coaching job, spent the past four years as the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator. Roman’s future is uncertain in San Francisco after coach Jim Harbaugh left to coach Michigan. Roman is regarded as a good fit under Ryan, because the two share a similar run-first philosophy. The 49ers’ running attack ranked among the NFL’s top 10 in each of the past four seasons under Roman. The Bills are coming off a 9-7 finish, matching their best record in a decade, but missed the playoffs to extend the NFL’s longest active drought to 15 years. Marrone’s departure caught the Bills by surprise, when the second-year coach quit the team by using an opt-out clause in his contract. Marrone, coincidentally, has interviewed with the Jets, where he previously served as the team’s offensive line coach. The Bills prepare to become the first of six NFL teams, including Ryan’s former team, to fill their coaching vacancy this offseason. Bills players were already expressing their support for Ryan in posts made on their Twitter accounts. “Love the hire!” center Eric Wood tweeted. Running back Fred Jackson wrote: “Excited about the hire of Rex!! Great coach to come in and keep us moving in the right direction!” Ryan prepares to make the cross-state trip from the Big Apple to Buffalo, where he raises the profile of a franchise now on its sixth coach in 14 years. Known for his brash personality and loyalty to his players, Ryan immediately becomes the Bills’ most high-profile coach since Hall of Famer Marv Levy established his reputation in Buffalo by leading the team to
four straight Super Bowl appearances in the early 1990s. Though new to the NFL, the Pegulas are Rex Ryan not unaccustomed to making a splash. The couple, which also owns the NHL Buffalo Sabres, bought the Bills from the estate of late Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson for a league-record $1.4 billion in October. Ryan went 50-52, including 4-2 in the playoffs, in six seasons with the Jets before being fired along with general manager John Idzik following a 4-12 finish. He made his biggest impact during his first two seasons in New York, when the Jets reached the AFC Championship game in consecutive years but lost them both. Ryan is familiar with the Bills after coaching their AFC East rival. His father, Buddy, also had ties to Buffalo after spending 1961-65 as the University at Buffalo’s defensive coordinator. Like his father, Rex Ryan’s strength is defense, which meshes with the Bills. Buffalo’s defense finished fourth in the NFL in yards allowed last season and produced three Pro Bowl linemen. It’s unclear how Ryan’s arrival would affect the status of Buffalo’s current defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, who completed his first season with the Bills. Schwartz is the former Detroit Lions coach and was a candidate for the Bills’ job. Ryan’s challenge in Buffalo would be similar to the one he had in New York — providing a spark to a sputtering offense. The Jets finished 22nd in yardage last season — four spots ahead of Buffalo.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Secret marriage raises suspicion Dear Annie: I am married to one of four siblings who dutifully took care of their aged parents until their mother died a few years ago. Daddy, in his mid-80s, met a bevy of women at his new upscale care facility and proposed marriage to one of them within two weeks. She turned him down, but a mutual friend accepted and she secretly married Daddy shortly thereafter. The woman has two children, both in professional jobs, one of whom is an attorney. At first, we liked the stepmother, laughed a bit and everyone got along well. But 18 months later, Daddy died and we discovered that he had drafted a document leaving his estate, worth almost a million dollars, to her. Now the stepmother will not answer any of our calls and hangs up if we somehow manage to get through. We certainly feel slighted, but this woman is our legal stepmother and we would, with civility, like to make our case to her to use some of that money to help with our children’s college tuitions. How do we address her? — Bombed in Birmingham Dear Bombed: Oh, my. We’re certain our readers will come up with many names you can call her, none of which are printable. Your 80-something father-in-law signed over his estate to a woman he barely knew, they married in secret, and it lasted a short time. This entire situation sounds fishy. You need a lawyer. Now. Dear Annie: I had been living with “Rafe” for 10 years until we split up several months ago. Recently, he called to say that his brother had died. I wanted to attend the funeral, but Rafe said he didn’t want me to be there because we weren’t together anymore. This made me upset and it hurt. Then he said his family probably wouldn’t want me there, either. Since I knew his brother, I feel I should have shown up and paid respects. What difference does it make if we’re together or not? I
don’t know how I’m supposed to feel now. I am sensitive and Rafe doesn’t care that he hurts my feelings. — Ex-Girlfriend Dear Ex: This isn’t about you. It is about Rafe and his family. If they were uncomfortable having you at the funeral, it was right for you to stay away. It is natural that you wanted to pay your respects, but their feelings come first. It would be very gracious of you to send a condolence card to Rafe and his family, expressing your sadness over their loss, and perhaps sharing a fond memory of Rafe’s brother. Dear Annie: I’d like to weigh in on servers calling people “Hon” or “Sweetheart.” I’m a widower in my late 60s. I agree almost entirely with those who dislike being called “Sweetie,” by servers. But the fact is, I have never had a young male address me in any way I found offensive. However, it is a daily ritual for me with the young ladies. I used to go to a coffee shop four times a week. About three years ago, as if someone flipped a switch, I began to be addressed as “Sweetie” or “Sweetheart.” It came with a condescending tone, too. I heard them address older women the same way. I quit going there. I took my late wife’s brother to our local steakhouse. The young hostess escorted us to the darkest corner and after we were seated, lit the table candle and said coyly, “This will make it more romantic for you guys.” Maybe these young females should get some sensitivity training before they are put into positions where they come into contact with the public. — Sonora, Calif.
