ourism sites across the web tout Santa Fe for having 300 days of sunshine a year. This winter, the city might have missed the memo. Multiple back-to-back snowstorms, with more on the way, have made for a cold and soggy new year in the City Different. They’ve also put a strain on the city’s snow-removal crews, which have been working around the clock to clear snow and ice from roadways. “It’s been a lot,” said Public Works Director Regina Wheeler, who oversees the city’s streets team. In a Thursday news release, the city said the Water Division is measuring more snow in the Santa Fe Municipal Watershed than has ever been recorded at this time of year. Please see story on Page A-4

Call it a 21-gun salute in the name of public safety. Surrounded by a phalanx of state public safety officials, police officers and advocates pushing for efforts to reduce gun violence, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday unveiled a series of proposals she called the “largest, most comprehensive package ... in the history of the Legislature.” Many of the measures center on gun violence, which Lujan Grisham said “feels like it’s impacting every corner around the globe.” Republican lawmakers said they support some of the crime bills the governor announced — such as a more rigorous pretrial detention system for defendants charged with violent crimes — but stood ﬁrm against gun control measures they decried as “anti-Second Amendment.” They also noted Democrats, not Republicans, often stand in the way of Lujan Grisham’s tough-on-crime proposals. Lujan Grisham said she has consulted with the Democratic caucus and supporters of the bills in her public safety package, and she feels “much better about Democrat support this year. ... I feel very conﬁdent, but we’ll have to wait and see.” Most of the legislation she announced during a news conference at the state Capitol was not yet publicly available on the Legislature’s website Friday. The following measures are among those the governor hopes to see pass

references, such as “Snowzobra,” “Billy the Skid,” “Bisc-Snow-Chito” and homages to Breaking Bad and Better Caul Saul TV series characters Saul Goodman and Walter White — “Walter Whiteout” and “Better Call Salt.” Other names included groan-worthy plays on words like “Ctrl-Salt-Delete” and “Sleetwood Mac.” Please see story on Page A-4

New Mexico In Depth

As 2023 came to a close, holiday celebrations slowed New Mexican workplaces to a crawl and many residents raised glasses to toast the new year. But University of New Mexico Hospital’s medical intensive care unit remained busy, caring for scores of patients who barely clung to life. As usual, the primary factor landing many of them there was excess drinking. There was a man in his 70s with liver cancer caused by alcohol who had begun bleeding internally, developed mental confusion and was now in a coma. A 50-something woman so dependent on alcohol that when she abstained, she went into severe withdrawal and developed a case of pneumonia serious enough to put her on a ventilator. A slightly younger woman with liver cirrhosis who had taken a hard fall, breaking an arm and causing bleeding under her skull. A 30-something woman with heart failure due to chronic drinking. Upon reviewing the cases, Dr. J. Pedro Teixeira, who has worked on the unit for four years, calculated one of every eight beds was ﬁlled by someone there because of alcohol. “If anything, I would expect somewhat more,” he wrote by email. New Mexico’s record-setting rate of alcohol deaths — higher than any other state and triple the national rate — is Please see story on Page A-5 Time Out B-9

IN BRIEF U.S. plans to seek death penalty for white shooter in Buffalo attack BUFFALO, N.Y. — Federal prosecutors said Friday they will seek the death penalty against a white supremacist who killed 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket in 2022. Payton Gendron, 20, is already serving a sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole after he pleaded guilty to state charges of murder and hate-motivated domestic terrorism. New York does not have capital punishment, but the Justice Department had the option to seek the death penalty in a separate federal hate crimes case. Gendron had promised to plead guilty in that case if prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty. The decision marks the ﬁrst time President Joe Biden’s Justice Department has authorized a new pursuit of the death penalty. In court papers announcing the decision to seek the death penalty, Trini Ross, the U.S. attorney for western New York, cited the substantial planning that went into the shooting, including the choice of location, which she said was meant to “maximize the number of Black victims.”

Sam’s Club stores rolling out AI to check customer receipts at doors Buying things in bulk at wholesale retailers can be an allday affair. Sam’s Club, the store chain owned by Walmart, is trying to make that time shorter: by using artiﬁcial intelligence to scan shoppers’ carts so they no longer have to show a receipt at the exit upon checking out. It has long been common practice at stores where bulk items are sold — like Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s Wholesale Club — for store employees to check customer receipts at the exit. According to a video presented by Walmart executives at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nev., Sam’s Club will have customers exit through a gate-like portal equipped with what Walmart said in a news release was “computer vision and digital technology” to verify purchases. The technology is currently at 10 locations and is expected to be in all the store’s roughly 600 locations by the end of the year.

Microsoft topples Apple as most valuable publicly traded company SAN FRANCISCO — For more than a decade, Apple was the stock market’s undisputed king. It first overtook Exxon Mobil Corp. as the world’s most valuable public company in 2011 and held the title almost without interruption. But a transfer of power has begun. On Friday, Microsoft surpassed Apple, claiming the crown after its market value surged by more than $1 trillion over the past year. Microsoft finished the day at $2.89 trillion, higher than Apple’s $2.87 trillion, according to Bloomberg. The change is part of a reordering of the stock market that was set in motion by the advent of generative artificial intelligence. The technology, which can answer questions, create images and write code, has been heralded for its potential to disrupt businesses and create trillions of dollars in economic value.

Oregon high court allows Trump to appear on state’s primary ballot Oregon’s top court Friday allowed Donald Trump to run in the state’s presidential primary, saying it wouldn’t take up the issue of whether he’s qualiﬁed to get on the state’s ballot while the U.S. Supreme Court considers a challenge on the issue from Colorado. Last month, the Colorado Supreme Court and Maine’s secretary of state separately concluded the former president had engaged in insurrection before and during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. That ﬁnding prevents Trump from running again because a provision of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment that says those who engaged in insurrection cannot hold office, the separate rulings found.

Amid grumblings from right, new speaker offers few clues on plan to avert shutdown By Lisa Mascaro and Kevin Freking The Associated Press

LAM YIK FEI/THE NEW YORK TIMES

Taiwanese lawmaker Su Chiao-hui with the Democratic Progressive Party waves to supporters in New Taipei City, Taiwan, in December. The party that transformed the island into a bastion against Chinese power promised both change and continuity ahead of Saturday’s elections.

China looming large as Taiwan goes to polls Ruling party, reviled by Beijing, seeks record third term Saturday By Chris Buckley and Amy Chang Chien The New York Times

TAIPEI, Taiwan early four decades ago, a group of lawyers, intellectuals and activists assembled in a hotel ballroom in Taipei to found an illegal political party dedicated to ending authoritarian rule in Taiwan. No longer a scrappy upstart, the Democratic Progressive Party, born in that ballroom, is now seeking an unprecedented third consecutive term. It needs to convince voters that after eight years in power, the party can renew itself while also protecting Taiwan from mounting pressures imposed by Beijing, which claims the island as its territory. Led by Vice President Lai Ching-te, the presidential candidate, the DPP faces a stiff challenge in an election Saturday from its chief rival, the Nationalist Party, which favors expanded ties with China. Polls have indicated the Nationalists, led by Hou Yu-ih, a former police officer and the mayor of New Taipei City, may have a ﬁghting chance of returning to power for the ﬁrst time since 2016, an outcome that could reshape the region’s geopolitical landscape. Election results are expected by Saturday night. For Su Chiao-hui, a lawmaker with the Democratic Progressive Party, the stakes of the vote are especially personal. Her father, Su Tseng-chang, helped found the party when Taiwan was under martial law and later served as a premier in both the party’s two phases in power, including under the current president, Tsai Ing-wen. “I’m a child of the DPP,” Su, a lawyer, said in an interview, recalling seeing her father take part in democracy demonstrations. “Those are the memories in my bones, my daily life, so I didn’t need to march on the streets to know that politics can have a big impact.” The challenge for Su and her generation of DPP politicians is to convince voters the party can deliver the right mix of change and continuity: Change in response to concerns about slowing growth, rising housing prices and other livelihood issues; continuity in assurances a new DPP administration would

not rock Tsai’s measured approach to China and is best qualified to keep Taiwan safe. Over the past decade, the question of Taiwan’s future has become a flashpoint in tensions between China and the United States, shaping debates in Washington and globally. The DPP, which has long rejected Beijing’s demands for unification, has been at the heart of transforming the island into a geopolitical bastion against Chinese power. Tsai has worked to steer Taiwan out of China’s orbit, enhancing ties with Washington and raising the island’s global profile. But after two terms, Tsai must step down this year. Polls indicate sizable numbers of Taiwanese voters would like fresh leadership. A growing number worry about rising risks of conflict with China, which has denounced the DPP as a party of separatists and has cast Taiwan’s election as a “choice between war and peace.” Lai has vowed to continue Tsai’s steady course. Yet even if Lai wins, his party may well lose its majority in Taiwan’s legislature, giving the opposition greater influence. Su, 47, is working to persuade voters to give the party four more years of majority rule to allow Lai to advance his agenda if he wins. She courts voters at night markets and crossroads, accompanied by “Otter Mama,” her bespectacled, pink-clad campaign mascot, who features on a children’s show promoting the local Taiwanese language. Her father, Su Tseng-chang, 76, an energetic speaker at election rallies across Taiwan, sees the party’s legacy at stake — as well as his own. “We have worked so hard to finally get out of authoritarianism and finally achieve democracy, freedom and openness,” he said. “If we cannot hold onto these achievements and instead turn back, then I’m afraid that the lifelong struggles and striving of my contemporaries will be in vain.” The DPP candidate, Lai, has led the polls in recent weeks, but by a narrow margin. Hou, the Nationalists’ candidate, has trailed by a few percentage points in many polls. And an insurgent candidate — Ko Wen-je, the leader of the Taiwan People’s Party — has eroded support for both parties, especially among younger voters.

Supreme Court to review limits on homeless camps By Ann E. Marimow The Washington Post

The Supreme Court said Friday it will consider whether state and local officials can punish homeless people for camping and sleeping in public spaces when shelter beds are unavailable. The justices will review a lower court decision that declared it unconstitutional to enforce anti-camping laws against homeless people when they have nowhere else to sleep.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, which covers Western states, including California, Oregon and Washington, ﬁrst held in 2018 the Eighth Amendment’s protection against cruel and unusual punishment prohibits cities from criminalizing public camping when shelter is unavailable. Grants Pass, Ore., asked the justices to overturn a similar recent decision involving civil ﬁnes and warned the ruling would prevent cities across the West from addressing safety and public

health risks created by tents and makeshift structures. The 9th Circuit’s decision, the officials said, is standing in the way of a comprehensive response to the growth of public encampments. “The consequences of inaction are dire for those living both in and near encampments: crime, ﬁres, the reemergence of medieval diseases, environmental harm, and record levels of drug overdoses and deaths on public streets,” lawyers for the city told the high court. The city’s position has support from

WASHINGTON — House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Friday he is sticking with the bipartisan spending deal he struck with the other congressional leaders but offered no clear path for overcoming hard-right opposition within his own party to prevent a partial government shutdown next week. Johnson emerged from days of testy meetings behind closed doors at the Capitol to read a terse statement. Just months on the job, the new speaker is trying to set the record straight he will not renege on the budget deal he made earlier this week. But in his first big test as the new leader, he has yet to show how he will quell the revolt from his right flank that ousted his predecessor. “Our top-line agreement remains,” Johnson, R-La., said, referring to the budget accord reached Jan. 7. “We are getting our next steps together, and we are working toward a robust appropriations process,” he said. “So stay tuned for all that.” It’s the same intractable political dilemma that led a core group of rightflank Republicans to boot Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from the speaker’s office last year as they revolted against the deal he struck with the other congressional leaders and President Joe Biden signed into law. Lawmakers during the first work week of the new year are furious that, after spending much of 2023 watching hard-right Republicans fight the leaders, they are heading toward another crisis with just a week to go before the Jan. 19 deadline to fund parts of the government or risk another shutdown. In the morning before Johnson made his statement, he met with about two dozen House Republicans, more of them centrist-leaning voices, who urged him to stick with the deal. “I just can’t imagine the House wants to relive the madness,” said Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., who had helped McCarthy negotiate the initial agreement with Biden and other leaders. “We’re here to bolster him up,” said Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb. “This concept of trying to break a deal that was negotiated, it’s a foreign concept,” said Republican Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart, R-Fla. “What you would be asking is for the speaker to basically break his word and lie. That’s just something you can’t ask him to do.” On the House floor, Johnson has been seen several times surrounded by Freedom Caucus Chairman Bob Good, R-Va., Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and others, some in animated finger-pointed discussions with him. The hard-right flank is also insisting on new immigration policies, which they say would stop the record flow of migrants at the U.S-Mexico border. Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said in floor remarks Republicans should “shut the government down until you shut the border down.” But by Friday it was more centrist lawmakers — many of whom serve on the appropriations panels writing the spending bills — making their way to Johnson’s office, urging him to hold firm to the deal he struck. Some have suggested Johnson try to pass a temporary measure that would fund the government for several more weeks, into March.

U.S. leads second strike against Houthis in Yemen Militia group backed by Iran vows to retaliate for attacks, fires one missile into Red Sea By Vivian Nereim, Helene Cooper and Thomas Fuller

The New York Times

WASHINGTON — The United States led another strike against the Houthi militia in Yemen, two U.S. officials said Friday night, bombing a radar facility as part of an effort to further degrade the Iran-backed group’s ability to attack ships transiting the Red Sea. It was the second straight day the U.S. military ﬁred on a Houthi target. The strikes come amid fears of a wider escalation of the conﬂict in the Middle East. Houthi forces in Yemen vowed earlier Friday to retaliate for the previous strikes, which involved missiles and warplanes launched by the United States and Britain, and came in response to intensifying attacks on commercial vessels and warships in the Red Sea by the Iran-backed Houthi militia, which has said it was acting in solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas. Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, director of the U.S. military’s Joint Staff, told reporters on a conference call before the new strike the Pentagon was more than ready for a response from the Houthis. “I would expect that they will attempt some sort of retaliation,” said Sims. “We simply are not going to be messed with here.” A military spokesperson for the Houthis, Yahya Saree, said in a social media post Friday the U.S.-led strikes would “not go unanswered and

unpunished.” He said the earlier strikes had killed at least five members of the Houthi forces, an armed group that controls northern Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa. The response Friday from the Houthis, however, was a single anti-ship missile lobbed harmlessly into the Red Sea, far from any passing vessel, Sims said. White House spokesperson John Kirby said Friday the strikes, ordered by President Joe Biden, had not been intended to ignite a wider regional war. “We’re not interested in a war with Yemen — we’re not interested in a conflict of any kind,” he said. “In fact, everything the president has been doing has been trying to prevent any escalation of conflict, including the strikes last night.” U.S. and British forces on Friday fired more than 150 missiles and bombs at several dozen targets in Yemen, chosen specifically to damage the Houthis’ ability to imperil shipping — weapons storage areas, radars, and missile and drone launch sites — U.S. officials said. The strikes marked the first Western assault after repeated warnings by the United States and its allies the Houthis and Iran must halt the attacks at sea or face consequences, only to see them increase. More than 2,000 ships have been forced to divert thousands of miles to avoid the Red Sea, causing weeks of delays, U.S. officials say. On Tuesday, U.S. and British warships intercepted one of the largest barrages of Houthi drone and missile strikes yet, an assault U.S. and other Western military officials said was the last straw. Military analysts earlier Friday were

still assessing the results of the ﬁrst barrage, but Sims said the strikes had achieved their objective of damaging the Houthis’ ability to launch the kind of complex drone and missile attack they conducted Tuesday. The consequences of the tensions in the Red Sea have spread far beyond the Middle East. A number of commercial ships headed for the Suez Canal changed course after the

INTERNATIONAL COUR T OF JUS TICE

Israel defends itself against genocide allegations in Gaza By Mike Corder and Raf Casert The Associated Press

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Accused of committing genocide against Palestinians, Israel insisted at the United Nations’ highest court Friday that its war in Gaza was a legitimate defense of its people and that it was Hamas militants who were guilty of genocide. Israel described the allegations leveled by South Africa in the International Court of Justice as hypocritical and said one of the biggest cases ever to come before an international court reﬂected a world turned upside down. Israeli leaders defend their air and ground offensive in Gaza as a legitimate response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, when militants stormed through Israeli communities, killing some 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostage. Israeli legal advisor Tal Becker told a packed auditorium at the ornate Palace of Peace in The Hague the country is ﬁghting a “war it did not start and did not want.” On Friday afternoon, Germany said it wants to intervene in the proceedings on Israel’s behalf,

saying there was “no basis whatsoever” for an accusation of genocide against Israel. Under the court’s rules, if Germany ﬁles a declaration of intervention in the case, it will be able to make legal arguments on behalf of Israel. More than 23,000 people in Gaza have been killed during Israel’s military campaign, according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory. Nearly 85% of Gaza’s people have been driven their homes and much of northern Gaza has been reduced to rubble. South Africa says that amounts to genocide and is part of decades of Israeli

oppression of Palestinians. South African lawyers asked the court Thursday to order an immediate halt to Israeli military operations in the besieged coastal territory. A decision on that request will probably take weeks, and the full case is likely to last years. The world court, which rules on disputes between nations, has never judged a country to be responsible for genocide. The closest it came was in 2007, when it ruled that Serbia “violated the obligation to prevent genocide” in the July 1995 massacre by Bosnian Serb forces of more than 8,000 Muslims in Srebrenica.

U.S.-led strikes. The Suez Canal, which handles more than 20,000 ships a year, providing billions of dollars in transit fees for Egypt, has seen traffic slashed as hundreds of ships have diverted their journeys to avoid the canal and the Red Sea, taking the much longer route around the southern tip of Africa, adding from one to three weeks. Analysts who study the Houthis said the U.S.-led airstrikes could play

into the group’s agenda and might be unlikely to stop the group’s attacks. “This was not a miscalculation by the Houthis,” said Hannah Porter, a senior research officer at ARK Group, a British company that works in international development. “This was the goal. They hope to see an expanded regional war, and they are eager to be on the front lines of that war.”

Governor’s public safety plan targets gun violence Continued from Page A-1

during the 30-day legislative session that starts Tuesday: u New penalties for possession of an assault weapon (a misdemeanor) and for being armed while committing or attempting to commit a felony (a fourth-degree felony). u An increase in the legal age to purchase firearms, to 21 from 18. u A 14-day waiting period for background checks to be finalized before the purchase of a firearm. u A ban on panhandling in public spaces, streets, sidewalks and curbs. u A recruitment fund for law enforcement, corrections officers and firefighters. The governor also plans to push for legislation banning firearms in public parks and playgrounds. Earlier this week, the state Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case challenging the governor’s executive order last fall that prohibits people from carrying or using firearms in places where children play in the Albuquerque area. The court had not yet ruled on the issue as of Friday. The governor said at the news conference she wants to get the order codified in state law regardless of how the Supreme Court rules. If justices favor the plaintiff, it will make no difference because “we will have a statute,” she added. Lujan Grisham said some of the bills she announced have bipartisan support. One is a much-contested piece of legislation that would allow judges to order suspects charged with serious violent crimes to be jailed until their trial unless the pretrial detention is rebutted by “clear and convincing evidence.” Similar legislation has been hotly debated in the past. Advocates for the measure argue it is necessary to keep communities safe from dangerous defendants while they await trial. Opponents say it deprives people of their constitutional rights. Second Judicial District Attorney Sam Bregman, his voice slowly filling with anger, said at the news conference “certain crimes are so violent in our community and threaten the safety of our community there should be” the right to hold some suspects until their trial.

conference, Rep. Craig Brandt, R-Rio Rancho, said he is sponsoring the pretrial detention bill for Lujan Grisham. It is one of five crime-related bills he hopes she will approve for consideration during session, which is primarily focused on drafting a state budget for fiscal year 2025. Senate Republicans are trying to work with the governor on many crime and public safety-related bills, Brandt said. However, he added, when it comes to restricting firearm use, “I will never support anything that clearly violates the constitutional rights of our citizens.” Brandt said crime “is the number one issue in our state, and the number one issue for our legislators.” “The question is, are we actually going to deal with the crime issue or violate people’s constitutional rights claiming it’s the crime issue,” he added. Senate Minority Leader Greg Baca, R-Belen, issued a news release after the conference that said his caucus is eager to join the governor “in tackling New Mexico’s crime epidemic, and to that end, we have introduced a number of commonsense solutions.” “Unfortunately, today’s press conference took a hyper-partisan turn with the announcement of several anti-2nd Amendment measures targeting New Mexico gun owners who only want to protect themselves and their families,” he wrote. He added, “If the Governor and other Democrats were half as hard on criminals as they are on law-abiding citizens, our communities would already be much safer.” Brandt noted in the interview Democratic lawmakers, not Republicans, sometimes block the governor’s public safety initiatives, like the pretrial detention bill. Rep. Rod Montoya, R-Farmington, said at a GOP news conference Friday past Republican efforts to enact crime bills often have stalled in committee hearings run by Democrats in both the House of Representatives and in the Senate. He said House Republicans plan to introduce many of those measures again this year and hope the governor will approve of putting them on the legislative docket. Even if the governor backs the proposals, he said, he does “not expect any of them to get through the Democrat-controlled Legislature.” rebutted by clear and convincing evidence; sponsored by Sen.

Puns win the day in state’s plow-naming contest Continued from Page A-1

The selections came from nearly 1,600 names submitted by New Mexicans in a content that began in November and ended just before Christmas. The agency initially planned to select six but increased the number of winners to 12 due to the high volume of submissions. Bustos-Mihelcic and her communications team narrowed the list to 50 top contenders and then allowed members of the public to cast votes for their favorites. The voting period closed Jan. 5. The submitters of winning names will receive a certiﬁcate of appreciation, and the agency plans to hold annual contests to name new snowplows. In the news release, Bustos-Mihelcic thanked residents for the creative and fun names. “We depend on our ﬂeet to serve our communities and make the roads safer for the traveling public and we are excited to give our trucks some awesome names!” she said. “Look for these snowplow trucks across the state of New Mexico, plowing snow, dropping salt, and ensuring safe roadways for the traveling public.”

‘Life-threatening’ storm to hit U.S., forecasters warn By Jim Salter and Claire Rush The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Brutally cold weather could prove a deadly challenge Saturday amid a continuing wave of Arctic storms that has hammered much of the country with blinding snow, freezing rain and whipping winds. Governors from New York to Louisiana declared states of emergency ahead of predicted snow and bone-chilling temperatures. In St. Louis, the National Weather Service bureau warned of rare and “life-threatening” cold. The fierce weather blitzed campaign schedules in Iowa, the leadoff GOP caucus state. With a blizzard warning covering most of the state, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump all shuffled their schedules ahead of Monday’s presidential vote. Near-record cold in Kansas City will make for a frigid NFL playoff game Saturday night, when the Chiefs host Miami. Fans will be allowed to bring in blankets and first-aid stations were set up at Arrowhead Stadium. On Sunday, fans in Buffalo will contend with up to a foot of snow and fierce winds as the Bills host Pittsburgh. The National Weather Service on Friday warned that a powerful storm would rock the Midwest to the Great Lakes through Saturday with heavy snow, strong winds and

blizzards. Dangerously frigid weather would follow across the Rockies and the Plains, while heavy rain across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic would threaten river and coastal flooding. Some areas of the Northeast had flooding concerns. Emergency responders helped evacuate some residents from their homes in Paterson, N.J., early Friday as the Passaic River started overflowing its banks. The new storm, combined with one earlier in the week, created flooding worries in Maine and New Hampshire, too. It was minus 11 degrees in Bismarck, N.D., on Friday morning, and forecasters warned the weekend could see temperatures reach 20 below by early Sunday. Black ice from freezing rain caused wrecks and brought Kansas City, Mo., to a standstill. At the Double Cross Cattle Company, a ranch south of Roberts, Mont., Tyson Ropp used an axe Friday morning to chop through inches of ice covering a trough so that his bulls could get to their water. “It’s just Montana,” he added with a shrug. But the weather won’t spare any part of the country this weekend, forecasters said. “EVERY state in the U.S. has an active NWS watch, warning, or advisory,” the National Weather Service announced Friday as it posted a color-coded map that showed portions of states under threat from storms, winds, floods, blizzards and avalanches.

FAA to raise oversight of Boeing after door incident Agency is reconsidering allowing some employees to perform inspections By Tom Krisher and David Koenig The Associated Press

The Federal Aviation Administration says it will increase oversight of Boeing and audit production of the 737 Max 9 jetliner after a panel blew off an Alaska Airlines plane in midflight last week, the latest in a string of mishaps at the troubled aircraft maker. The FAA said Friday it would judge whether Boeing and its parts suppliers followed approved quality procedures. Amid reports of continued manufacturing problems, the FAA also said it’s reconsidering a longstanding practice

of relying on employees at aircraft manufacturers to perform some safety analysis of planes. Members of Congress criticized the practice of deputizing Boeing employees as inspectors after two deadly crashes involving Boeing 737 Max 8 planes in 2018 and 2019. “It is time to re-examine the delegation of authority and assess any associated safety risks,” said new FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker. “The FAA is exploring the use of an independent third party to oversee Boeing’s inspections and its quality system.” Whitaker suggested the FAA might find “a technical, nonprofit organization” to help oversee Boeing’s work. The agency also said it will increase monitoring of problems reported on Max 9 flights. He told CNBC on Friday the FAA

will also step up its oversight of Spirit AeroSystems, which supplies Boeing with fuselages for the 737 Max. “We know there are problems with manufacturing, there have been problems in the past, but these are continuing,” Whitaker said. “This is a brand-new aircraft, it has just come off the line and it had signiﬁcant problems, and we believe there are other manufacturing problems.” In a statement, Arlington, Va.-based Boeing said it will cooperate with the FAA. “We support all actions that strengthen quality and safety, and we are taking actions across our production system,” the company said. Spirit also said it’s supporting the FAA actions. “Spirit’s top priorities are quality, product integrity and compliance,” a company statement said.

The FAA’s intensifying focus on safety at Boeing comes just a day after the agency announced an investigation into whether the manufacturer failed to make sure a fuselage panel that blew off was safe and manufactured to meet the design that regulators approved. The National Transportation Safety Board is focusing its investigation on plugs used to ﬁll spots for extra doors when those exits are not required for safety reasons on Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliners. One of two door plugs on an Alaska Max 9 blew out shortly after the plane took off from Portland, Ore., a week ago, leaving a hole in the plane. The cabin lost pressure and the plane was forced to descend rapidly and return to Portland for an emergency landing. No serious injuries were reported.

Whitaker said the FAA in the past used to do a lot more aircraft-manufacturing inspections, but legislation moved those to the private sector. Sometimes that works, but at times it doesn’t. The third party, he said, is just an option. “It may not be the right option, but I think we need to have that debate.” Legislators criticized the designated inspector program after the Max crashes overseas, contending the inspectors were still paid by Boeing and beholden to the company, not the FAA. But in 2019, then-acting FAA administrator Dan Elwell said replacing the use of company workers for safety-certiﬁcation work would require the agency to add 10,000 employees at a cost of $1.8 billion a year. That all but ended consideration of FAA doing the work.

Credit card debt U.K. to pledge $3B in military aid rising across U.S. WAR IN UKR AINE

KYIV, Ukraine — Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of Britain visited Kyiv on Friday to announce he would send more than $3 billion in military assistance to Ukraine in the next financial year, his country’s largest annual commitment since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. In addition to the new aid package, Sunak and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine signed a bilateral security agreement for the next 10 years. The pact offers reassurance amid concerns about a potential shortfall in Western support for Ukraine while badly needed military and financial aid packages remain blocked in the United States and the European Union because of political infighting. “For two years, Ukraine has fought with great courage to repel a brutal Russian invasion. They are still fighting, unfaltering in their determination to defend their country,” Sunak said in a statement. “I am here today with one message: The U.K. will also not falter. We will stand with Ukraine, in their darkest hours and in the better times to come.” The British aid for the coming year represents an increase of about $255 million compared

with the country’s annual commitment for the past two years. Much of the increase will go toward the production and procurement of thousands of military drones that are crucial for Ukraine. Britain will also deliver longrange missiles, air defenses and artillery ammunition. The new support from Britain will cement London’s reputation as one of Ukraine’s staunchest supporters since Russia invaded nearly two years ago. It will also help to allay Ukrainians’ fears that Western support is wavering in the face of a protracted war that has now largely stalled on land. Sunak’s visit came hours after the British and U.S. militaries

bombed more than a dozen targets in Yemen controlled by the Iran-backed Houthi militia. The strikes could ignite a wider conﬂict in the Middle East over Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip and further distract the world’s attention from the ﬁghting in Ukraine. In an attempt to counter this turn of events, Zelenskyy has toured Western capitals in recent months to rally continued support for his country. On Wednesday and Thursday, he visited three Baltic States, where he urged his allies to help hold the line as Russian forces are on the offensive along much of the front and as Moscow has launched a winter air campaign that is wearing down Ukraine’s

As 2024 dawns, Americans’ credit card debt and late payments are rising, and card interest rates remain high, but many people lack a plan to pay down their debt. If your balances are ballooning, a New Year’s resolution to tackle them would be timely. After clearing the $1 trillion mark last spring, credit card debt has continued to mount, rising 4.7% in the third quarter to $1.08 trillion, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported. Card debt fell during the pandemic period of 2020-21 but rose as Americans turned to credit to cover expenses amid rising prices. Card debt is growing even as inflation cools and the job market remains resilient. Delinquencies are also on the rise: 2% of card users went from being current on payments in the second quarter of 2023 to being 30 or more days late in the third quarter, up from 1.7% in the first half of the year. Borrowers who also had car loans and student loans, in particular, were more likely to fall behind on their credit card payments, Fed researchers reported. Despite rising debt, fewer than half of cardholders who carry a balance say they have a plan for paying it off, according to a survey published this week by the financial site Bankrate. Nearly half those surveyed said they carried a balance, up from 39% in 2021. That’s worrying, analysts say, because the Fed reported the average interest rate was above 22% for cards that assessed interest. “I think it’s a big concern,” said Ted Rossman, senior industry analyst at Bankrate. At 22%, it would take almost nine years to pay off a $2,000 card balance by making minimum monthly payments, and total interest would exceed $2,100, Rossman said. Making larger monthly payments will pay off debt faster, but getting people to do that in a way that makes a meaningful difference is a challenge, according to a recently published paper about an experiment in Britain. In the test, thousands of people opening card accounts were encouraged to sign up to automatically pay more than the minimum amount each month — and most did so. But the change made no difference in their debt

But he said Ukraine urgently needed to further reinforce its defenses if it were to withstand more air attacks. “If Ukraine were given seven such systems today, people in Kharkiv, Kherson, and Odesa would not be dying,” Zelenskyy said during a news conference in Riga, Latvia’s capital, on Thursday. Without Patriots, he added, “it is impossible to survive.” The three Baltic countries that Zelenskyy visited — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — are some of Ukraine’s biggest backers in the war, united in their opposition to Russia by their legacy as former Soviet states. Each of them is providing Ukraine with more than 1% of their respective gross domestic products in aid, which is among the highest from allied countries, according to a ranking by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. Still, that aid is a fraction of what larger countries, such as the United States, Britain and Germany, can offer Ukraine. Zelenskyy’s trip was intended to use the Baltic States’ vocal support of Ukraine to spur other, more reluctant allies to give more to Ukraine as the war drags on, said Pavlo Klimkin, a Ukrainian former foreign minister.

U.S., EU assistance stalled by infighting

Many Americans are lacking plan to pay it off

in the longer term, researchers found, in part because people kept spending on their cards, so their payments were still too low to chip away at the growing balances. Paying down card debt is “a really hard thing to do,” said Benedict Guttman-Kenney, a doctoral candidate in economics at the University of Chicago and the lead author of the paper. “There’s no simple fix.” Isabel Patterson, 36, an account manager at a sports and entertainment marketing agency in Richmond, Va., said she had spent roughly the last three years paying off about $20,000 in credit card debt. Patterson began accumulating debt after opening her first credit card account in her early 20s, she said. “I didn’t understand how interest works,” she said. “I was making minimum payments but was still using the card, so it didn’t make a dent.” One of Patterson’s splurges was a $2,500 bicycle. But during a spell of unemployment, she also had to pay for living expenses with credit. “It added up after a while,” she said. Her parents suggested she contact Money Management International, a nonprofit agency that negotiates payment plans for eligible borrowers at a reduced interest rate. Participants make a single monthly payment to the agency, which pays the lenders. (The initial consultation is free, and clients pay a monthly fee of $24, on average, for the debt management plan, said Thomas Nitzsche, a spokesperson for the agency; the average negotiated interest rate is 7%.) Patterson said she cut back on travel and new clothes, shopped at cheaper stores like the Aldi supermarket and ignored ubiquitous social media promotions for beauty products. She expects to make a final debt payment of $717 next month and plans to use some of the newly available cash to build savings for unexpected expenses. Money Management International continued to see an influx of new clients during November and December last year, normally a slower period, Nitzsche said. Inflation has eased, he said, but card rates remain high, and student loan repayment is “putting a pinch on a lot of people.” The average unsecured debt held by the agency’s clients has increased to about $30,000 from roughly $20,000 two years ago, Nitzsche said; the average balance placed in debt management plans is $18,000.

Program aims to ease child care worker shortage

Local UNM course helps students earn certificate in one semester for free By Margaret O’Hara

mohara@sfnewmexican.com

WHITE ROCK — When the Bilingual Montessori School, a White Rock-based child care center, opens its Los Alamos facility this spring, it will have about 180 new child care slots for children ages 6 weeks to 6 years. The problem is, more than 400 children are already on the new center’s waitlist — months before it even opens — said Rebekah Seitz, the school’s office manager, who will serve as the Los Alamos center’s director.

“People are basically desperate for child care here because there’s so many young families. ... They come here and they’re realizing: There’s quite a few day cares here, [but] the majority of them are full,” Seitz said. A new program at the University of New Mexico’s Los Alamos campus is looking to assuage some of the area’s child care woes, allowing interested students to earn a certiﬁcate in early childhood education in one semester — for free. Piloted last fall, the program has yielded 13 newly trained early childhood educators; 11 already are employed at child care centers in

the Los Alamos area, said Audrey Marroquin, UNM Los Alamos’ community and workforce partnerships manager. It’s one piece of a broader push — backed by Triad National Security LLC, which operates and manages Los Alamos National Laboratory — to expand child care capacity in the region. “That was something that we heard loud and clear: It’s really hard to ﬁnd staff ... but it’s so critically important as well,” said lab staff director Frances Chadwick of the Please see story on Page A-8

Attorneys seek to toss charge in separate case Defense lawyers claiming ‘prosecutorial vindictiveness’ over firearm accusation By Phaedra Haywood

phaywood@sfnewmexican.com

Defense attorneys for Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed have filed a motion asking the court to dismiss a criminal charge accusing her of unlawful carrying of a firearm in a liquor establishment. “The concepts of fairness, due process and constitutional rights to a fair trial have been wholly abandoned by the prosecution in this case in favor of getting a skin on the wall, through whatever means,” the motion says. The fourth-degree felony charge, filed in November, is based on allegations Gutierrez-Reed brought a gun into a Santa Fe bar Oct. 1, 2021, about three weeks before cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died on set after being struck by a bullet that Hannah came from a gun being handled by Rust Gutierrezstar and producer Alec Baldwin during a Reed rehearsal. Gutierrez-Reed also faces charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence in connection with the shooting. By most accounts, Hutchins’ death was caused by the mistaken commingling of live rounds and dummy ammunition on the set, which the prosecution characterized early in the case as reckless negligence that justified the filing of criminal charges against assistant director David Halls, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed. Halls pleaded no contest in March to a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon as part of a deal that called for him to serve six months of probation. The state later dismissed the involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin “without prejudice,” meaning it could be refiled. That hasn’t happened — although prosecutors said in October new evidence that could implicate Baldwin would be presented to a grand jury — leaving Gutierrez-Reed the only person still facing charges in

Show set in Española, ‘The Curse,’ embraces cringe and absurdism Critics love show but audience not tuning in By Krysta Fauria

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — “We’re certiﬁed Fresh!!!!! Don’t miss out!” ﬁlmmaker and actor Benny Safdie posted online in December, referencing his latest project with Emma Stone and comedian Nathan Fielder. Attached to the ostensibly straightforward celebratory post was a photo of the Rotten Tomatoes score for The Curse — an impressive 94% endorsement from critics who watched, next to a

comparatively atrocious audience score of 35%. That’s a feat the trio seems to relish. “I want to know what it is that we actually did,” Safdie laughed, trying to pinpoint why exactly their series was so polarizing ahead of the Los Angeles premiere for its finale, which airs Friday on Showtime. Safdie recently made headlines for confirming his professional split from his brother and collaborator, Josh Safdie (who is credited as as an executive producer on the A24 series). Although the pair had made acclaimed independent films like Good Time and Uncut Gems — which had a similar

A Rio Arriba County man who petitioned to convene the grand jury that indicted two county officials on perjury charges has ﬁled a complaint saying their dismissal was politically motivated and the prosecutor who dismissed them should be sanctioned or disbarred. “I feel very, very disgusted in the system,” Antonio DeVargas said in a phone interview Friday. Beginning in 2019, DeVargas gathered of hundreds of signatures from county residents to justify the convening of a grand jury to investigate the operations of the North Central Solid Waste Authority, alleging poor ﬁscal controls and improper billing practices. After a yearslong pandemic-related delay, a judge ordered the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office to aid the grand jury in its probe.

2nd attempt to toss Bennie’s Law case Appointments open for AARP tax help By Liam Easley The Taos News

TAOS — An attorney for a Questa man accused of failing to make firearms inaccessible to minors again questioned in court this week whether the Bennie Hargrove Gun Safety Act applies to his client. William Brown’s teen son, Porfirio Brown, was charged with fatally shooting 13-year-old Amber Archuleta at the family’s home in Questa last year. William Brown was the first person in the state to be charged under Bennie’s Law, which requires gun owners to secure firearms to make them inaccessible to children and teens.

Gun owners can be charged under the law — named after an Albuquerque eighth grader fatally shot by a classmate in 2021 — if a minor accesses and uses an unsecured weapon in a crime that causes harm or death. So far, however, the state has not identiﬁed the weapon used to kill Archuleta. William Brown’s attorney, Aaron Mitchell, said the state is “failing to provide evidence to the defense which is within, or potentially within, the state’s purview.” He states in his motion the state Supreme Court does “not condone shoddy and inadequate police investigation procedures

at the expense of a criminal defendant’s rights to a fair trial.” A hearing on the motion was held Tuesday. A state district judge said he would make a ruling on the motion next week. In a hearing Nov. 27, Mitchell argued an investigation into the incident by the Questa Police Department was inadequate because two minor witnesses were able to roam the crime scene without being checked or patted down. He also noted investigators had yet to identify the ﬁrearm used in the fatal shooting. Prosecutors have stated there were about 50 ﬁrearms in

Brown’s home, creating a challenge in pinpointing the weapon used in Archuleta’s killing. Mitchell asserted the gun could have been carried away from the scene by the witnesses who roamed unchecked. Prosecutor Lucas Helper has suggested Brown hid the ﬁrearm after cleaning up the scene before police could search the home. The absence of the weapon is Mitchell’s primary argument for the dismissal of the case because Brown’s charge relies on its discovery.

area’s early childhood education landscape. There’s a shared reality in Northern New Mexico’s child care centers, Seitz said: “Like everyone else, we are looking for staff.” “It is absolutely difficult,” she said. “Especially with kids, you can’t just hire anybody. It has to be someone who really enjoys working with kids; they have to be background checked.” And in the early childhood sphere, program capacity is closely tied to staffing, with state law dictating appropriate student-to-staff ratios. That’s where UNM Los Alamos’ early childhood education certiﬁcate comes in. Adapted from ﬁve UNM courses in the subject, the program equips would-be early childhood educators with the knowledge and skills they need to serve children from birth to 8 years old, Marroquin said. During the last two weeks of the program, students worked in child care centers in the Los Alamos area, receiving hands-on experience and individualized training in how best to serve young children. Seitz noted four UNM Los Alamos students completed their practicum hours at the Bilingual Montessori School in White Rock. “The students are learning about themselves. They become best friends. They share with each other. It’s a very supportive environment, just like what we want to model for the students to provide in their classrooms,” UNM Los Alamos instructor

charges, accusing them of lying to the grand jury during the inquiry. The report also singled out the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office, saying the citizens that made up the grand jury found it difficult to obtain critical information from the office, which was tasked with aiding its investigation, and “on multiple occasions ... received inaccurate information or discovered that information had been withheld regarding important procedures and deadlines.” District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies’ office later cited

Early childhood education teacher Marsha Vigil works with a child Thursday at the Bilingual Montessori School in White Rock.

Madeline Brown-Hernandez said of the early childhood education certification classes. During the 2023 fall semester, students completed the certificate program without receiving college credits. By fall 2024, the college plans to offer an associate’s degree — and ensure past students can apply the certification’s 12 units toward their degree — said Paul Allen, UNMLos Alamos’ dean of instruction. “The classes that we’re offering are in perfect alignment with those classes that students would normally take through a degree program, so that it will be a seamless issue of awarding them credit for this prior learning,” Allen said. Funding from LANL allowed

students to attend the no-credit certiﬁcate program for free. It’s one piece of a broader initiative to ensure parents working at the lab have access to reliable and high quality child care, Chadwick said. In May, the lab announced plans to expand both child care infrastructure and training for early childhood professionals. Per the lab’s plans, a $2 million investment from the University of California — one of the member organizations of Triad National Security — would go toward construction of a new child care facility, the Bilingual Montessori School’s Los Alamos campus. Priority — though not exclusive — enrollment will be afforded to children of Triad employees.

Meanwhile, the lab partnered with UNM-Los Alamos to tackle the worker shortage. The batch of students seeking early childhood education certiﬁcates — selected from more than 30 students expressing their interest in the course, Marroquin said — is slated to start classes this month. Chadwick added those connected to LANL won’t be the only ones beneﬁtting from the growing number of early childhood teachers in Los Alamos. The training program, she said, will “increase the availability of talent in that area, of employees or potential employees who can then be available not just for the day care center that we’re investing in, but for all organizations.”

that critique as justiﬁcation for assigning the cases to a special prosecutor outside her office. Three judges also recused themselves from hearing the cases before they were assigned to District Judge Matthew Wilson. Thirteenth Judicial District Attorney Barbara Romo eventually agreed to act as special prosecutor, but she dismissed the charges in December, saying the grand jury had exceeded the scope of its authority by charging Naranjo and Campos with crimes — i.e., perjury — it had not speciﬁcally been tasked with investigating. DeVargas wrote to the State Bar of New Mexico earlier this

awards for her performance in Poor Things — she sees a continuity between The Curse and her films. “A surrealistic experience I think has been interesting to me for a long time. Birdman was sort of that way. La La Land was sort of that way. There’s an element of fantastical in the midst of a sort of groundedness that I find really intriguing,” she said while promoting Poor Things. “The Curse definitely does live in that world.” Stone had become friends with Fielder after seeing “every episode” of his reality series on Comedy Central, Nathan For You, in which Fielder provides bizarre and often destructive marketing advice to small businesses, including some viral stunts so over the top and confounding that they attracted national attention. Stone said she was so eager to work with Fielder, who co-created and wrote the series with Safdie, that she agreed to join the cast before she even knew what

it was about. For faithful fans, like Stone, of Fielder, who reaped critical acclaim for his HBO series, The Rehearsal, the tone and themes of The Curse are not surprising. His deadpan humor relies on exploiting awkward situations, real or contrived, and he is known for his almost superhuman ability to withstand cringe. “I don’t know about that word or what it means exactly,” Fielder said sheepishly. “Or that it’s intentional,” Stone interjected. But the comedian maintains his emphasis on painfully awkward circumstances in his work is meant to reﬂect the discomfort and absurdity of real life. “Life is uncomfortable, I think. Interacting with people ...” he trailed off, nervously — though it is difficult to discern in a conversation with him what is a bit and what is real. “I feel like if you ﬁlmed anyone’s life, it would look a lot like the show.”

Hundreds of residents and personnel stationed at Cannon Air Force Base will be able to have their blood tested as state officials expand their investigation into contamination from a group of compounds known as “forever chemicals.” The New Mexico Environment Department announced Tuesday it is searching for a contractor that can conduct the tests in the spring in Clovis. The idea is to host two events where up to 500 adult volunteers living near Cannon will have blood drawn

and tested for PFAS. Surveys also will be done to determine any potential exposure for those living near the base. PFAS, which stands for perand polyﬂuoroalkyl substances, have been linked to cancer and other health problems in people. They are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t degrade in the environment and remain in the bloodstream. The chemicals have been detected at hundreds of military installations.

connection with Hutchins’ death. In their recent motion, her attorneys say the November charge illustrates “prosecutorial vindictiveness” and is part of the state’s continued campaign to make the now 25-year-old armorer the scapegoat for Hutchins’ death. The charge should be dismissed for three reasons, her attorneys Jason Bowles and Todd Bullion argue in the motion filed Thursday afternoon: ◆ Special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis don’t have the authority to file the charge because it is unrelated to the Rust shooting, which they were hired to handle. ◆ Prosecutors filed the charge because Gutierrez-Reed refused to give up her right to remain silent in the case. ◆ The charges are based on a search of Gutierrez-Reed’s phone that exceeded the scope of her agreement with the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, in which she agreed to allow her phone to be searched only for information related to the Rust shooting. Morrissey declined to comment Friday. She wrote in a text message she and Lewis would file a response to the motion within a 15-day timeframe allowed by the court.

The latest charge, the motion says, “represents a misuse of taxpayer money” and includes a copy of a text message the defense attorneys claim proves prosecutors ﬁled the the charge because their client declined to waive her right to remain silent. In the message — which it appears Morrissey sent Bowles in September — the prosecutor seems to indicate she’ll go easier on Gutierrez-Reed if the armorer answers some questions about how the live rounds got on set but will ﬁle the additional charge if the armorer does not agree to talk. “I certainly respect her right ... to stay silent, however if she were to come forward and answer some of these questions ... that would go a long way toward getting her a favorable resolution,” the text message says. “If she chooses not to ... I will proceed with the additional charges we spoke of.” The motion also says prosecutors disclosed attorney-client communications taken from Gutierrez-Reed’s phone to a witness in the case, and related evidence should be suppressed as a result. Gutierrez-Reed is scheduled to stand trial next month on the involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence charges.

Can we The fentanyl crisis is preying on our kids avoid a I ‘2-tiered’ society?

“M

y friends, we are on the way to becoming a twotiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group of Americans left behind, whose anger and disillusionment are easily manipulated. Once unbottled, mass resentment can poison the very fabric of society, the moral integrity of society, replacing ambition with envy, replacing tolerance with hate. Today the targets of that rage are immigrants and welfare mothers and government officials and gays, and an ill-defined counterculture. But as the middle class continues to erode, who will be the targets tomorrow?” 1994 Speech by Robert Reich, secretary of Labor. That amazing prediction presciently predicted our current fraught political and societal situation. What Reich described was not inevitable but was the result of the deliberate and considered long-term policy of one political party. For over 70 years, an anti-union policy has been promoted in red state and conservative national politics. Starting with Taft-Hartley in 1948 to “Right To Work” policies in states to the destruction of the air traffic control union by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, Union bargaining power has been eroded until today only 7% of the workforce is unionized resulting in a profound loss of bargaining power and a steady erosion of blue-collar wages. For over 70 years the considered policy of one political party has been to drastically reduce income taxes on the wealthy, the mega-rich and huge trans-national corporations. The result of this policy has been to reduce revenues that could have been used to further the resiliency of our society such as financing a national universal healthcare system, financing a universal preschool education system, financing free higher education for all or financing a world-class infrastructure. A further result of these policies has been an explosion of the national debt to a staggering $30 trillion. A consequence of not investing in the future, in world-class higher education is a student debt of over $1.5 trillion, thus financially compromising the future of countless millions of aspiring young people. The consequence of not having a universal free healthcare system has led to millions of people being bankrupted by medical expenses as well as mightily enriching insurance companies and hedge funds invested in hospital chains. To achieve the enrichment of a tiny percentage of the population and huge corporations, one political party has endeavored to corrupt our political system with money. It has relentlessly endeavored to pack our judicial system with judges friendly to the mega-rich, corporations. The culmination of this policy was the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Citizens United. By ruling that money is speech, the court unleashed a tidal wave of billions of dollars into the political system skewing it inexorably in favor of corporations and the mega-rich and against the interests of the vast majority of the population. There is a bitter irony in what has resulted, the very same political party that caused the conditions that led to the misery, the anger, the hate and disillusionment is the very same party that is now attempting to capitalize and use these very same corrosive sentiments as political fodder to attain power, to direct vitriol against targeted enemies such as immigrants, people of color, liberal elites and people of minority faiths. It is the same technique that has been used over the ages by authoritarians, by fascists and dictators of all stripes to gain and maintain power. We are well on our way to the future Reich predicted.

n the shadow of unceasing and harrowing tales of child neglect and abuse across our state, compounded by the escalating menace of the fentanyl crisis preying on our children, our duty as legislators to act with urgency and resolve has never been more pressing. This is why I am proposing a legislative amendment to our criminal code — a decisive step to recognize that exposing a child to fentanyl is unmistakably an act of child abuse. This amendment is not just my voice but echoes the urgent calls from our law enforcement and district attorneys. Our state is bearing witness to a horrifying surge in pediatric exposure to fentanyl — a merciless drug leaving a trail of shattered families and deep,

enduring scars across our communities. To illustrate the magnitude, let me present a stark reality: In 2022, in Bernalillo County alone, naloxone (a medicine that is an antidote to opioid drugs) was administered to infants under 1 year old 68 times. This isn’t a mere statistic; it’s a clarion call for action, with nearly a quarter of these innocent lives conﬁrmed as overdose cases. Throughout my legislative tenure, I have dedicated myself to bolstering public safety, staunchly supporting our law enforcement heroes and championing the rights and safety of our children. This legislation, embodied in House Bill 106, is a testament to that commitment. While exposure to methamphetamine is already recognized as direct evidence

of child abuse, the emergence of fentanyl as a more potent and lethal substance necessitates its inclusion in the statute. By simply adding “or fentanyl” to the existing statute, we acknowledge a harsh reality and respond to a dire necessity, one that has been overlooked for far too long. Our frontline warriors — law enforcement officers, prosecutors, ﬁrst responders, educators, nurses, doctors, interventionists and child advocates — are sounding the alarm, pleading for a lifeline to combat this escalating crisis. The era of inaction and political maneuvering must end now. We are called upon to confront and combat our most destructive crimes head-on. The future of our state teeters on the

brink. I implore Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham and my fellow legislators to awaken to this crisis and unite in our response. Our actions today are not just policy decisions; they are moral obligations — measures to safeguard our children’s lives and uphold the very fabric of our communities. We stand at a crossroads where our state’s future and our children’s fate rest in our hands. With unwavering commitment and unity, let us rise to this challenge to protect our children and forge a safer, brighter tomorrow.

Getting expelled from Mexico will not keep me away

Let’s get rid of private prisons

magine you are the defendant in a New Mexico courtroom where the police, witnesses, the prosecutor, the judge and your lawyer all own stock in corporations that make more money when people are convicted of a crime and placed in a prison. In fact, this scenario is the reality in almost every courtroom in America. Private prisons exist to make profits and have become a multibillion-dollar industry. They are less safe than government-operated facilities, and they do not save money for taxpayers. They oppose decriminalization (such as marijuana laws) and alternatives to incarceration, and they have supported laws that both criminalize more behaviors and impose much harsher sentences. All to keep their facilities full. The retirement pension plans of most government employees, including those who work in courtrooms, are invested in private prison corporations. This is true for every state in the union, as well as for federal and local levels of government. With only a few notable exceptions such as New York City, the government-managed pension plans for judges, police and prosecutors are betting on the profitability of private corporations that lock people up. To influence laws that govern the criminal justice system, the private prison industry then invests heavily on lobbyists at work in state capitols and in Washington, D.C. Those same corporations also spend lavishly on direct campaign contributions to state and federal politicians who are deemed friendly to the private prison industry.

Slew of gun safety measures on agenda for New Mexico’s 30-day legislative session, Jan. 10

“

I would rather have them write legislation to delete the catch-andrelease amendment and strengthen mandatory sentencing for those who commit a felony with a weapon to 10 years regardless of the age of the abuser. Make legislation supporting a castle law and stand-your-ground law.” Joseph Tafoya

Gun violence is wreaking havoc “ throughout all of New Mexico. Our

youth live in constant fear of gun violence. Many of them tell us in our gun violence prevention workshop that we do in schools that by the time they turn 18 they expect to be dead or in jail due to gun violence. That is the future we have left them. Dead or in jail by 18. We have deeply failed them. New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence commends this administration for its leadership to pass common sense gun violence prevention legislation.” Miranda Viscoli

These investments embed an apparent bias in favor of incarceration in our criminal justice system and further the continued growth of private, for-profit prison corporations. This is business as usual in today’s criminal justice system — but it should not be. The justice system must be trustworthy in appearance and in fact, not only to those who work within the system but also to the members of the public. Quite simply, these corrosive investments must stop. Ideally, those who work within the criminal justice system should demand that their pension funds be divested from private prisons. The public can demand laws and policies that prohibit such investments, as may civic and faith-based organizations. New laws and policies are needed to prohibit such investments. We know that divestment is possible because California — through CalPERS, its pension fund — and several colleges have done so. When everyone but the defendant is financially invested in the success of the private prison industry, fair trials in an American courtroom are highly unlikely. Unless the public demands change, business as usual in criminal justice will include such investments. These investments not only embed bias in the system; they also sustain the influence and growth of the private prison industry. John Dacey and Robert Craig are attorneys at Abolish Private Prisons.

THE PAST 100 YEARS From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 13, 1924: A 27-man state-wide committee of Young Republicans will meet at the city hall here Saturday afternoon at 2 to discuss changes in the state organization’s legislative set-up and to consider backing measures before the state legislature, State Chairman Reginaldo Espinosa said today. Jan. 13, 1974: District Attorney Joe Castellano said yesterday that the bribery and conspiracy indictments against an Albuquerque state senator and eight other persons represents just “the tip of the iceberg.” Jan. 13, 1999: In one of its first official acts Tuesday, the new Public Regulation Commission suspended a rule that had opened the way for more use of alternative, renewable energy sources such as solar- and wind-generated electricity. The action was requested by Public Service Company of New Mexico, the state’s largest utility, and three other utilities.

icked out of Mexico! “Expulsado,” this cranky Mexican soldier says at the customs station as I enter Ciudad Juárez. How am I going to explain this to Nina Houle, owner of On Your Feet in Santa Fe; and her able assistant, Amanda Valenzuela; and to Patricia Cervantes at Double Take, all of whom have provided me with dozens of pairs of shoes; and to Carlos Garcia who helped load them; and to Judy Crawford, Jane Hruska and the other many Santa Fe volunteers who continually provide needed clothing and other items for these border trips. I tell this officer that my carload had been approved the day before by the Mexican customs officials in Palomas, Mexico, but he is unmoved. In fact, he threatens to impound the car if I say anything further, so I follow his truck — License No. SAT32-A4 — to the international bridge and return to El Paso. This odyssey started in Santa Fe when Nina and Amanda offered new shoes that they hadn’t been able to sell, an extraordinary gift. Patricia at Double Take then offered shoes for little children at a much-reduced price. Good shoes are hard to find and treasured by migrants who may have come thousands of miles to reach the border. Friends like Carlos, Judy and Jane are always helping. Earlier this month, I drove to the Colores United migrant shelter in Deming, an excellent shelter started by a dynamic woman named Ariana Saludares, gave them 25 pairs of shoes plus clothing and then continued south to Palomas. A Mexican customs official stopped me there, inspected the shoes and said everything was OK since the shoes had been donated to me, and I was then going to donate them to a migrant shelter. There were only five migrants at the Grupo Beta shelter in Palomas, however, and only one man, a migrant from Nicaragua, who needed shoes. On Friday morning, the first stop was at the garage of Eva Moya, a professor at the University of Texas-El Paso. About once a month she receives a huge truckload of food, clothing, bathroom items, toys and other items from a nonprofit in Placitas named Dignity

Mission. Her volunteers — my wife, Sherry, and me included — then take these items from New Mexico into Juárez to the Respettrans shelter which usually houses 150-250 migrants. I have crossed here dozens of times and have been stopped only twice. Once, I was fined the equivalent of $28. The second time, the soldier who stopped me commended me for helping his people and waived any fine. In other words, these agents have a great deal of discretion. What they need, however, is a directive from their bosses that says, “Yes, there are rules but if someone is bringing in items that are clearly for humanitarian purposes; you are to waive any fines and treat them with courtesy and respect.” This soldier in Juárez with his shiny boots, warm clothing and cushy job obviously had no interest in “humanitarian purposes.” While waiting in the heavy traffic on the international bridge, I realized that the original plan to get the shoes and clothing to Respettrans wasn’t going to work, so I drove to the Sacred Heart Church in El Paso and, with the help of several young Venezuelan men, took everything into the large auditorium where roughly 100 migrants were staying. Marta, the woman in charge, then laid the shoes out on a big table and helped everyone make a selection. It was a quick, efficient, fair and a very moving process. I am deeply grateful to her for her leadership. As a result, the shoes from Santa Fe entered Mexico twice in two days but ended up in Deming and El Paso, where they were much appreciated. What next? In the last decade, I have probably made at least 300 border crossings. This expulsion has been the only truly ugly experience. So, the answer is obvious. Keep taking food, clothing, shoes, whatever is needed. Keep relying on the generosity of people like Nina, Amanda, Patricia, Carlos, Judy and Jane. The worst that can happen is a temporary expulsion.

UNM MEN’S BA SKE TBALL

Lobos face Aztecs in The Pit under national spotlight By Will Webber wwebber@sfnewmexican.com

There’s national TV, and then there’s this. Saturday at high noon offers a golden opportunity for the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team, a rare chance to get some coast-tocoast exposure as the Lobos get a visit from last year’s national runner-up, San Diego State. The game will be aired as the national game of the week on CBS, whetting the appetite of football fans awaiting the 2:30 p.m. kickoff of the Browns-Texans AFC wild-card game. When he convened his team for practice Friday afternoon, UNM

coach Richard Pitino had to weave his way through a fleet of engineering trucks outside The Pit in preparation for the broadcast. In desperate need to defend its home court after dropping its first two Mountain West road games, UNM will rely on a sellout crowd in an attempt to take down the highest-profile team in the conference. Pitino spoke about giving recruits a tour of the arena and walking them past photos of sellout crowds — all of whom were there to watch the Lobos a decade or more ago when crowds routinely flocked to one of New Mexico’s most famous buildings. It wasn’t until Pitino’s team from last season came along that capacity

crowds became a thing again. On Saturday, he said it will be as much of a chance for the fans to show the building’s life to a national audience as much as it will be his own players. “Our fans have absolutely overperformed, I think throughout the years, maybe more so than what we’ve all done,” Pitino said. “It’s an amazing experience to be a part of.” San Diego State rides in on a seven-game winning streak, courtesy of a narrow escape in its most recent game at San Jose State. The Aztecs are led by the MWC’s top player, the electrifying 6-foot-9 Jaedon LeDee. He leads the conference in scoring (22.0)

Trojans turn back Blue Griffins DeBoer

to replace Saban at Alabama

Mesa Vista withstands Santa Fe Prep’s rally to advance to tournament championship By James Barron

jbarron@sfnewmexican.com

homas Vigil doesn’t see problems — only the potential for solutions. So, with just 5 minutes left in Friday’s semiﬁnal of Santa Fe Indian School’s Braves Invite, Vigil brought his Mesa Vista Trojans into the huddle and pointed out what might not have been so obvious at the moment. The Trojans led Santa Fe Prep, a team they had beaten by a scant 61-60 score just three days before, by an almost equally slim margin —55-52. It was 55-36 late in the third quarter, but the Blue Griffins used a furious 16-0 rally to get back into the game. Vigil, though, didn’t focus on the 16-point run. “I said, ‘Look around and see what’s the score,’ ” Vigil said. “ ‘We’re still up three. We can’t hang our heads.’ ” That simple reminder was enough to restore order for Mesa Vista, which used a subsequent 6-2 mini-spurt to hold off Santa Fe Prep again, winning 63-59. The Trojans, winners of ﬁve straight games, will face the host Braves for the tournament title at 8:15 p.m. Saturday. SFIS defeated Moriarty 55-39 to advance to the championship game. It will be an SFIS-Mesa Vista lovefest in the boys and girls championship games, as the Lady Braves (10-4) rolled past Newcomb 63-29 while Mesa Vista hammered Cuba 75-49. The Lady Trojans (12-2) are going for their third tournament title in as many weeks. The win marked the third straight time Mesa Vista (7-4) built a double-digit lead only to see its opponent rally to put a scare in it. But for the third time this week, the Trojans showed composure and calm in the face of growing chaos. They ran their offense to near perfection and produced a reverse layup by Marcos Martinez just 18 seconds after the timeout to break Prep’s run. Even when the Blue Griffins cut the lead to 57-54 on Kiran Belyeu’s steal and layup with 1:51 to go, the Trojans didn’t let the moment get too big. Jordan Gallegos scored a bucket off the glass at 1:34, and Martinez had a steal-andlayup to up the margin to 61-54 and avert any potential crisis. “We know how to handle the situations like that,” Mesa Vista freshman guard Andres Valdez said. “So, sometimes we do get too comfortable and

Coach led Washington to national championship game in his second season By John Zenor

The Associated Press

Alabama wasted little time in ﬁnding Nick Saban’s successor, hiring Kalen DeBoer away from national runner-up Washington. The powerhouse program tapped DeBoer on Friday to replace Saban, just two days after the 72-year-old coach announced his retirement. The 49-year-old DeBoer is a former Kalen DeBoer NAIA coach who led Washington to the national championship game in his second season. Now, he takes over a program where Saban made that kind of success an annual expectation. “I have always had an incredible respect for Alabama football and its commitment to excellence,” DeBoer said in a statement released by the university Friday night. “The tradition-rich history of this program is unmatched across the landscape of college athletics, and I look forward to continuing that moving forward.

QB missed out last year because of injury; this time, Baltimore has top seed in conference By arnie Stapleton

The Associated Press

Lamar Jackson will miss out on wild-card weekend for a second straight year, and this time it’s for a much better reason. The Baltimore Ravens and their star quarterback earned the AFC’s top playoff seed and the conference’s sole bye with a dominant regular-season run just one year after uncertainty clouded Jackson’s

health and future. Jackson missed the final five regular-season games and the playoffs a year ago because of a left knee injury, and Tyler Huntley started in his place when the Ravens lost to Cincinnati in a wild-card round game. That was followed by months of doubt about Jackson’s status before he signed a five-year, $260 million contract extension with the Ravens, the $52 million-per-year pact briefly making him the NFL’s highest-paid player (before Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert surpassed him). Jackson said back then that he’d suffered a Grade 2 sprain — moderate ligament damage and partial tearing — that was “on the bor-

The Associated Press

HONOLULU — Carl Yuan soaked up the views at the Sony Open, not just his name atop the leaderboard when he finished his second round Friday but just being in Hawaii to start his PGA Tour season. If not for Jon Rahm, the 26-yearold Yuan wouldn’t be here. Yuan finished at No. 126 in the FedEx Cup in November by one point and was getting ready to earn his card back through Q-school. And then Rahm bolted for the Saudi riches of LIV Golf. The tour suspended Rahm and removed him from the FedEx Cup standings. Yuan moved up one spot to No. 125, had his full card and got into the Sony Open. And then he posted a 5-under 65 on Friday, finishing with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 closing hole at Waialae, for a three-way share of the lead. “I was very thrilled,” Yuan said. “It gives me another chance to improve and get better.” Yuan was at 9-under 131. Former Oklahoma State star Austin Eckroat had a 66 and Byeong Hun An, coming off a strong start at Kapalua last week, shot 64 to join him. The big drama as darkness fell was the cut. Joel Dahmen had a 5-foot birdie putt on his final hole that would have moved the cut to 3-under 137. He missed, letting 17 players into the weekend,

a group that includes Hideki Matsuyama, who birdied his last two holes. Among those missing the cut was Gary Woodland, playing for the first time after his Sept. 18 brain surgery to remove a benign tumor that was causing anxiety and fear of dying. Woodland’s voice choked during his Golf Channel interview when he talked about the support he had while trying to overcome such a frightening period. “There was a time where I didn’t know if this was going to be possible,” said Woodland, who shot a second straight 71 on Friday. “It was a good week for me from a mental standpoint. I needed to be mentally sharp to get where I want to be in the world. It’s coming back.” Stewart Cink, the 50-year-old whose two-week Hawaii swing includes the PGA Tour Champions opener next week on the Big Island, had a 65 and was among nine players who were one shot behind going into what figures to be a hectic weekend. That includes Chris Kirk, who won last week at Kapalua. He shot another 66 in his bid to become only the third player to sweep the two Hawaii events. Yuan’s rookie year was a struggle, but the Chinese player at least saved himself in the fall. He finished the regular season at No. 151, but did enough over the last three months to at least give

himself a chance. But he was bumped out by Ryan Moore in the ﬁnal event. He played a practice round at the TPC Sawgrass to get ready for Q-school — “My wife was going to caddie for me and it was raining,” he said — and then later that night got word that Rahm was suspended and he was in. Yuan wasn’t overly concerned because he would have had limited status. As it turns out, even some of the rookies with full cards didn’t get into the Sony Open. “Before I learned the news, I was really trying to get myself ready and come out and play good in Hawaii and on the West Coast and try to earn myself back on tour,” Yuan said. “Luckily I got full status, but I’m still trying to do the same thing and come out

here and play the best I can.” Cink turned 50 last year and began to split time on the two tours. He ﬁgures he’ll play about two dozen events this year, a mixture of both. He’s not in the $20 million signature events and might play on the PGA Tour Champions when that’s the best option. “I’m not going to pick one and stick to it,” he said. “I’m not making the FedEx Cup or the Schwab Cup my top priority to try to capture one of those cups. I just want to play good golf and I don’t care where it is. Just play the best I can play and get as much out of myself as I can. If that means playing half here and half on the Champions Tour, I’m OK with that.” An ﬁnished fourth at The Sentry last week on Maui — a signature event that paid him $975,000 — and kept up his form. He had been worried about his fourth-month break from competition. But he has only one bogey over 36 holes.

13 and Lucas Medina scored 12. McCurdy will take on Albuquerque Sandia Prep, as it beat Albuquerque Menaul, 63-42, in the morning game. The Sundevils (2-10) were led by freshman Chase Kendall and senior Jacob Schierloh, who both had 15 points.

Trojans for much of the game, as they often showed they were the more physical team in battling a Blue Griffins squad that featured three players 6-foot-2 and taller. Mesa Vista has just one such player in Gallegos. Still, they matched Prep in the rebounding category (22 for each team) and had six offensive boards to the Blue Griffins’ three. Prep twice had to overcome double-digit deficits — 17-6 in the opening quarter as Mesa Vista hit seven of its first 11 shots and 55-36 in the third when the Trojans connected on nine of their first 11 shots of the second half. Valdez was crucial to that, as he scored eight points in the quarter, including a pair of 3-pointers as Mesa Vista scored the first 11 points after the break to build a 42-27 lead. “We can’t come out flat like that,” Prep head coach Joe Vigil said. “We’re trying to get them to play 32 minutes of basketball with the same fire and intensity.” When the Blue Griffins did play with that kind of intensity, they used their size and length to bother Mesa Vista. They hit four of five shots late in the first quarter and forced a pair of Trojans turnovers to pull within 17-14 on Mitchell Grover’s transition layup with 42 seconds left. When Prep (6-6) extended its halfcourt trap late in the third quarter, it forced the Trojans into an oh-for-6 shooting slump and four turnovers to feed the

16-0 spurt. Yet, the Trojans persevered when the stakes were at their highest, which Vigil was especially happy to see as a coach and an educator. “One of the biggest things that they can take away from our program is that you’re going to run into some hard times,” Vigil said. “You’re gonna fail classes and get speeding tickets. They’re gonna crash a car. But the resiliency is what keeps you coming back and looking to get better.” BOYS SEMIFINALS SFIS 55, MORIARTY 39 The Pintos dictated the pace and style, but the Braves were simply better at it. SFIS (11-2) used a closing 9-2 run to end the

third quarter and produce a 36-29 lead, then relied on eighth-grader Taivian Callado in the fourth. He rocked Moriarty (4-7) with 11 of his 13 points, including a trip of 3-pointers to help push the lead to its final mark. Braves head coach Jason Abeyta said Callado, the youngest of three brothers on the team, is figuring out his role as well as learning how to play at the varsity level. “He is one kid that I know is not afraid to shoot the rock,” Abeyta said. “And that’s what we needed in that moment.”

CONSOLATION McCurdy reached the fifth-place game with a 63-45 win over Laguna-Acoma, building a 37-21 halftime in the process. Judah Duran had 15 points to lead the Bobcats (7-6), while Ryan Montoya added

and is second in rebounding (8.8), serving as the centerpiece of a team that hasn’t slowed down a lick from last year’s run to the Final Four. “He’s strong, physical, he can score in a variety of ways,” Pitino said. “They put him all over the court whether it’s isos, post-ups, on the block, in the middle. It’s going to have to be a team effort with him.” Pitino said there are three things his club has been working on in the wake of Tuesday’s 10-point loss at UNLV. First, improving its post defense after giving up 29 to Rebels big man Kalib Boone, getting more shots from 3-point range after making just 13 of 41 of them through the first three conference games, and finding a way to not lay an egg in the first four minutes of the second half. “I have no answer to why that is,” Pitino said. “If I did it would be corrected, so we’ll continue to work on it.” Among the Lobos’ biggest concerns is in-house. Literally. As in, senior guard Jaelen House. An electrifying player whose game is based on the emotional highs and

lows of what unfolds in front of him, he has struggled to stay on the court in UNM’s conference games due to foul trouble. Many of those whistles have come after usual House histrionics. That includes a dead-ball technical foul against UNLV after he shoved a Rebels player during a scrum. “Us being close, I have to talk to him and let him know, man, we need you out there,” said Lobos guard Jamal Mashburn Jr. “He plays with such high energy and such emotion that he wears his heart on his sleeve to where, you know, the refs could look at him differently and maybe, like, he’s showing them up. But he’s really not. He’s just a kid who loves to play hard and loves to compete and he works his butt off.” The unspoken money wrench in UNM’s roster is the four-guard rotation of House, Mashburn, Donovan Dent and Tru Washington. All stand between 6 feet and 6-4, and all have very similar styles in that they attack the basket and create their own shots inside the 3-point line. What none of them do — at least enough, Pitino says — is sink enough 3-pointers to keep defenses honest. Mashburn said a player like Jermarl Baker

It took a Lady Braves opponent 23 minutes, 20 seconds to score a point in the first half against the host team in the tournament. The Skyhawks’ Lehtia Yazzie scored a layup with 40 seconds left in the first quarter to stop a 26-0 start by SFIS (9-4), which then built a 37-6 halftime. In Thursday’s opening-round game, Raton did not score in the first half against the Lady Braves, who led 48-0 at the break. Emma Lewis led the Lady Braves with 15 points, and Aaliyah Valencia added 11.

MESA VISTA 75, CUBA 49 The Lady Trojans held the Rams (4-10)to just one point in the opening quarter to take a 20-1 lead, and the lead grew to 43-16 at the half. Tana Lopez had 25 points to lead Mesa Vista, while Shanae Silva and Brittni Suazo each added 13.

CONSOLATION McCurdy broke a 14-all halftime tie by outscoring Raton 17-2 in the third quarter and went on to a 38-19 win. The Bobcats (4-5) were paced by Kaylee Martinez’s 14 points. They will play Bernalillo for fifth place after the Spartans downed Laguna-Acoma, 72-56 in the other consolation semifinal. Raton (0-13) and the Hawks (5-4) will play at 9 a.m. in Francis L. Abeyta Memorial Gymnasium, while the fifth-place game will take place in the Pueblo Pavilion at the same time.

Jr. could be the answer. An offseason transfer from Fresno State, the seventh-year graduate transfer was brought to UNM for two reasons: Sink the 3 and defend the 3. Baker leads the team in made shots from beyond the perimeter with 23, but he has gone scoreless his last two games and he’s made just one 3-pointer in MWC play. “He’s a sniper,” Mashburn said, referencing a 43-point game (on 10 3-pointers) last season when he was at Fresno State. “We haven’t had a fully healthy team this entire year, honestly, and Bake’s an older guy and he’s going to continue to work. I’m not doubting about him at all.” Since Mashburn’s return from a ﬁve-week absence with an injured thumb, the Lobos’ guards have seen a drop in their production. Dent’s points are down while Mash and House have struggled with their consistency. All of that can be erased with a big showing on the biggest broadcast stage of all. NOTES Each of UNM’s next four home games is against the top teams in the Mountain West. The Lobos will face No. 20 Utah State on Tuesday night, then get visits from Nevada and Boise State later in the month. ... Saturday’s game will be a stripe-out where fans in different sections are asked to wear either red or white. The game was officially declared a sellout on Thursday, the second of the season for the Lobos. Each of the next three home games is expected to draw big crowds.

Christian McCaffrey, Tyreek Hill and Fred Warner are unanimous choices for The Associated Press 2023 NFL All-Pro Team. The 49ers’ McCaffrey and Warner and the Dolphins’ Hill received first-team votes from all 50 members of a nationwide panel of media members who regularly cover the league. Running back McCaffrey and linebacker Christian Warner are joined by three San Francisco McCaffrey teammates, including left tackle Trent Williams, fullback Kyle Juszczyk and tight end George Kittle. Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson earned his second AllPro selection, receiving 45 first-place votes. Dallas’ Dak Prescott and San Francisco’s Brock Purdy each received two first-place votes and Buffalo’s Josh Allen got the other one.

Jordan Hicks and Giants reportedly agree to $44 million, 4-year contract SAN FRANCISCO — Free-agent pitcher Jordan Hicks and the San Francisco Giants have agreed on a $44 million, four-year contract, a person with direct knowledge of the negotiations said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was pending a physical and had not been announced by the team. The hard-throwing Hicks has spent most Jordan Hicks of his time in the bullpen during ﬁve major league seasons, compiling 32 career saves. But he made eight starts for St. Louis in 2022, and the Giants intend to add him to their rotation. Hicks went a combined 3-9 with a 3.29 ERA and 12 saves over 65 outings spanning 652/3 innings last year between St. Louis and Toronto.

Shota Imanaga looking forward to transition to majors with the Cubs CHICAGO — Shota Imanaga has been formally introduced by the Chicago Cubs a day after he ﬁnalized a $53 million, fouryear contract. Nicknamed “The Throwing Philosopher,” he went 7-4 with a 2.80 ERA in 22 starts last season with the Yokohama BayStars of Japan’s Central League. The 30-year-old Imanaga steps into Chicago’s rotation in place of Marcus Stroman, who agreed to a $37 million, twoyear deal with the New York Yankees after he opted out of his contract with the Cubs. Chicago also has lefty Justin Steele and right-handers Kyle Hendricks and Jameson Taillon penciled into its rotation. The Associated Press

DeBoer Continued from Page B-1

“Following coach Saban is an honor. He has been the standard for college football, and his success is unprecedented. I would not have left Washington for just any school. The chance to lead the football program at the University of Alabama is the opportunity of a lifetime.” Alabama did not disclose details of DeBoer’s contract pending formal approval of its board of trustees. Saban announced his retirement Wednesday after leading the Crimson Tide to six national championships in 17 seasons. He leaves massive shoes to fill and outsized expectations at the program Paul “Bear” Bryant helped build and Saban took to even greater heights. Saban also won a national title at LSU and his seven championships are a major college record. The Crimson Tide have been in national title contention just about every season since winning their first in 17 years back in 2009, Saban’s third season. The task of maintaining that standard falls to a coach with just two years of experience leading a Power Five program. “Coach DeBoer has proven he is a winner and has done an incredible job as a head coach at each of his stops,” Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne said. “One of the things I told our team the other day is we are going to get someone who is not only a great coach with the Xs and Os, but also someone who cares about his players and someone I’d want my sons to play for, just like I would have wanted them to play for Coach Saban. “We got that in coach DeBoer.” The fast-rising DeBoer led the Huskies to a 14-1 record this season. Washington won the Pac-12 championship, beat Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinals and lost to No. 1 Michigan 34-13 in the national title game. DeBoer was named The Associated Press coach of the year. DeBoer led the Huskies to a 25-3 record in two seasons after taking over a program that was 4-8 in 2021. He is the first Washington coach to win 11 games in consecutive seasons and won Pac-12 coach of the year honors twice. DeBoer also has won

national titles, albeit a few levels down in college football. DeBoer led his alma mater, Sioux Falls, to a 67-3 record from 2005-09 and won three NAIA championships at the small, Baptist-affiliated school in South Dakota’s largest city. He later had immediate success at Fresno State, going 12-6 from 2020-21, with nine wins in his second season. That’s a career mark of 10412 at all levels, or 89.7%. DeBoer became the first Washington coach to win 11 or more games in consecutive seasons after going 11-2 in 2022, twice earning Pac-12 coach of the year honors The Huskies also went 10-1 against ranked teams, and DeBoer is 18-3 in playoff games as a head coach. Alabama’s short-term expectations won’t change with a team led by quarterback Jalen Milroe and a roster fortified by a string of highly rated recruiting classes. DeBoer coached Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Penix Jr. last season and brings an offensive track record to replace Saban, a former NFL defensive coordinator. He was Fresno State’s offensive coordinator in the 2017 and 2018 seasons and held the same job at Indiana for a year before replacing Bulldogs coach Jeff Tedford. An All-America receiver at Sioux Falls, DeBoer helped the Cougars win their first national championship in 1996. He then stayed on as receivers coach, returning in 2000 as offensive coordinator after a stint as a high school coach in Sioux Falls. At Washington, DeBoer signed an extension after going 11-2 in 2022, raising his salary to $4.2 million with incremental increases to $4.8 million in the last year of the contract in 2028. It also included an increased buyout of $12 million if DeBoer left for a new job. DeBoer hired high-powered agent Jimmy Sexton, who also represents Saban, last year. Saban received an eight-year deal in 2022 worth at least $93.6 million, including some $11.1 million this year. “Kalen DeBoer has been an outstanding leader of our football program and what he accomplished in two seasons on Montlake will forever be a part of our storied history,” Huskies athletic director Troy Dannen said. “We are sad to see him leave and we did all that we could to keep Kalen at UW. But ultimately, he made a decision that was in the best interests of his family and furthered his professional goals.”

Patriots name Mayo as coach Playoff game behind Peacock paywall a new frontier in NFL’s embrace of streaming

Assistant under Belichick since 2019, Mayo played for eight seasons, won a Super Bowl ring in 2014

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Jerod Mayo spent his entire professional football career learning from Bill Belichick, first as a player and then as an assistant. He’ll now have the weighty task of succeeding the future Hall of Famer and leading a New England Patriots team as its first new voice in more than two decades. The Patriots named Mayo to succeed Belichick as the franchise’s 15th head coach on Friday. Mayo is the first Black head coach in team history. He will be formally introduced at a news conference Wednesday, the team announced. Mayo played eight NFL seasons and won a Super Bowl ring with the Patriots during the 2014 season. He has been an assistant under Belichick since 2019, serving primarily as the Patriots linebackers coach. He’ll become the NFL’s youngest head coach at age 37. Mayo’s hire comes a day after Belichick agreed to part ways with the Patriots after a 24-year run that included six Super Bowl wins. Mayo immediately rose to the top of the list of viable Belichick successors after the Patriots took the unique step of announcing they were giving the assistant a long-term extension last offseason. Mayo, along with Belichick’s son and fellow linebackers coach Steve Belichick, handled the play calling duties for the Patriots defense over the past two seasons. Despite New England’s 4-13 record this season, the team’s defense has remained highly ranked in several categories despite losing top linebacker Matt Judon and rookie cornerback Christian Gonzalez early to season-ending injuries. Though it’s unclear what the terms of Mayo’s deal prior to last season entailed, it came after he interviewed for multiple head coaching jobs in Philadelphia and Carolina each of the past two years. In announcing the decision to part ways with Belichick on Thursday, Patriots owner Robert Kraft promised to move quickly on trying to fill the hole. Kraft said that the mandate for the next coach would be a return to the postseason for a Patriots team that

New England Patriots outside linebacker Jerod Mayo warms up on the ﬁeld before a 2013 game against the New Orleans Saints in Foxborough, Mass. The Patriots have agreed to hire Mayo to succeed Bill Belichick as their next head coach, according to a person familiar with the situation. Details were still being worked out Friday.

has missed the playoffs in three of the past four seasons and hasn’t won a playoff game since the 2018 season. “We’re looking for someone who can help us get back to the playoffs and win,” Kraft said. “Believe me, after my family, this is really one of the two most important assets in my life. I am very upset when we don’t win games. It carries the whole week. So, I promise you I’ll be focused to do the best I can do to make sure we’re putting ourselves in the best longterm position to win for many years.” During his time in the coaching ranks, Mayo has quickly developed a reputation for being able to relate to players. Former Patriots safety Devin McCourty played alongside Mayo for six seasons and then under him from 2019-22. During an appearance on NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk on Friday, McCourty pointed out that one thing that will beneﬁt Mayo is that he also had the opportunity to hone his skills in other places as well, notably the time he spent working in ﬁnance at Optum. “When you hear him talk, he talks not just leadership in football by kind of CEO talk in life leading people,” McCourty said. Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley said earlier this month that Mayo already garners lots of respect around the locker room.

“Players love him. I love to play for him. He gets the best out of his players,” Bentley said. “At the same time, he understands as far as the culture and everything how to get everybody going.” But Mayo will likely get criticism from some about how much time he’s spent inside the Patriot bubble. That’s nothing he can’t overcome, McCourty said. “I understand the reservations of people who are like, ‘Well, all he is, is a Patriot,’ ” McCourty said. “But when people get to be around him and talk to him, they’ll see the differences in him and Bill and how the organization will be going forward.” One thing Mayo isn’t expected to have is the same control over personnel matters like Belichick did for most of his tenure with the Patriots. Along with being coach, Belichick also served as New England’s de facto general manager. But Kraft pointed out Thursday that Belichick didn’t receive that power until after he won his third Super Bowl with the team following the 2004 season and that Belichick “earned it and it worked pretty well for most of the time.” That means a new general manager hire, or some other restructuring of the front office, is likely next on Kraft’s plate. “I think it’s good to have checks and balances,” Kraft said.

The quarterback matchup between Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa and Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes isn’t the only major storyline going into their AFC wild card game. Another question is how many fans will pay to watch one of the NFL’s important games of the season being carried exclusively on a streaming platform for the first time. Saturday night’s game will be shown on Peacock after NBCUniversal won the rights last May. The game will be broadcast on the NBC affiliates in Kansas City and Miami, following the NFL’s protocol for Thursday night games streamed on Amazon Prime Video. Everyone else will have to pay for a Peacock subscription — plans start at $5.99 per month — to watch the game, and some fans are less than thrilled about the NFL putting a playoff game behind a paywall for the first time. According to various reports, NBCUniversal paid $110 million for the rights to the game. “I mean, the NFL, which prints money — that’s got more money than God — they gotta make another $110 million for that stupid Peacock game,” commentator Chris Russo said on ESPN’s “First Take” program. “Oh my God, that drove me crazy! That is being a pig! That’s what that’s being. “So, the poor person who’s 75 years of age, who’s followed the Chiefs since [Hank] Stram and Len Dawson, has gotta figure out on his remote where to get the stupid game and pay for the streaming service to see a playoff game!” Under the NFL’s contract, each of its four broadcast partners — NBC, CBS, Fox and ESPN/ABC — gets at least one wildcard game. Of the two remaining games, one rotates each year between NBC, CBS and Fox, while the other will likely be up for bid each year. That means Amazon or ESPN+ could eventually be in the running. “We’re very focused and very committed on broadcast. For us, it’s not either/or, it’s both. We want to continue to broaden the distribution for our content,” said Hans Schroeder, the league’s executive vice president of media distribution. “We see the continued evolution in the media landscape, and we want to be where our fans are. We know they’re increasingly, especially younger fans, on different screens. So that’s why it’s important for us, not just for this game, but throughout the year, that we’re on these different digital platforms.”

ESPN started carrying NFL games in 1987, but it took 27 seasons before it aired its first playoff game. The league’s embrace of streaming has been much faster. Amazon Prime Video became the exclusive home of “Thursday Night Football” last season while ESPN has streamed one international game per season on ESPN+ since 2021. Peacock had its first exclusive regular-season game when the Buffalo Bills visited the Los Angeles Chargers on Dec. 23. All playoff games will also be available on mobile devices through the NFL+ package. According to Prime Video, the median age of its audience was 48.5 years — 6.9 years younger than the median age of viewers watching the NFL on Sundays (55.4). NBC Sports president Rick Cordella did not share expectations about the number of new Peacock subscribers the company is hoping to gain from streaming a playoff game. He said NBC’s top priorities were making sure the production is top-notch and that its streaming technology can handle the influx of viewers. “We’re in the big event business. We’ve streamed the Super Bowl in the past, World Cup, Olympics, WrestleMania, Premier League each weekend, ‘Sunday Night Football’ throughout the season,” Cordella said. “So, this is not new territory for us, and I have confidence that our product and tech teams will deliver a great experience for the viewers Saturday evening.” Cordella and others at Peacock are also hoping to attract viewers beyond the playoff game. “There’s a lot of content on Peacock. There’s a little misconception this is a pay-per-view for $6. The reality is you’re getting a lot of value for $6 beyond just Saturday night,” he said. “So, we look at Saturday night, the audience that came in for that, and what has that audience experienced a month down the road? This is not a success-failure Sunday morning. It’s down the road, did people behave how we thought they would behave once they get inside the platform?” NBC will have three games during the first weekend of the postseason, the first time a network has had that many on a single playoff weekend. Cleveland at Houston will air on NBC Saturday at 4:30 p.m. EST. NBC also has the much-anticipated Sunday night matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions. Since the NFL went to a an expanded wild-card schedule in 2020, the late Saturday game has been the least viewed twice. Last year’s contest between the Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars averaged 20.61 million viewers.

The games kick off Saturday with the Cleveland Browns (11-6) visiting the Houston Texans (10-7) in a matchup of two of the four NFL teams (Lions, Jaguars) who have never appeared in a Super Bowl. Tyreek Hill returns to Kansas City when the Miami Dolphins (11-6) visit the Chiefs (11-6) on Saturday night, and the Buffalo Bills (11-6) host the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7) on Sunday.

1. Baltimore Ravens (13-4) Two Lombardi trophies in two Super Bowl appearances: beat Giants 34-7 in Super Bowl 35, beat 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl 47. Last year: 10-7, No. 6 seed, lost 24-17 to Bengals in wild-card round. Plan the parade: The Ravens have been excellent in all three phases this season. Their offense is led by MVP candidate Lamar Jackson and their special teams by perhaps the greatest kicker of all time in Justin Tucker. And the defense might be the team’s biggest strength, with LBs Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen, S Kyle Hamilton, DT Justin Madubuike and edge rushers Jadeveon Clowney and Kyle Van Noy all enjoying terrific seasons. Baltimore has also been tested. The Ravens faced 14 teams that finished the regular season with a winning record — and they still had the best record and best point differential in the league. Hold the confetti: There’s some pressure on this team because the Ravens lost their playoff opener four seasons ago when they were also the top seed in the AFC. Cleveland and Pittsburgh — which handed Baltimore three of its four defeats — each has a chance to be the Ravens’ opponent in the divisional round. The Ravens have been so good that they never trailed by more than seven points until the fourth quarter of Week 18, but as good as Jackson is, a significant deficit could take them out of their game. “Everybody is going to give you everything they’ve got, because it’s win or go home. It’s your life or their life, and most cats are going to choose their own.”— Smith

2. Buffalo Bills (11-6) No Lombardi trophies in four Super Bowl appearances: lost to Giants 20-19 in Super Bowl 25, lost to Washington 37-24 in Super Bowl 26, lost to Cowboys 52-17 in Super Bowl 27, lost to Cowboys 30-13 in Super Bowl 28. Last year: 13-3, No. 2 seed, beat Dolphins 34-31 in wild-card round, lost to Bengals 27-10 in divisional round. Plan the parade: The Bills are the hottest team entering the postseason, having won five straight, are 5-1 against the playoff field and appear to have addressed their

late-game issues from the first half of the season. After opening 2-6 in games decided by a touchdown or less, they closed 6-6. With QB Josh Allen, anything is possible with his dual-threat abilities to generate first downs and an NFL-leading 44 touchdowns (29 passing/15 rushing). The offense has developed secondary threats in the passing game and features more balance with a bigger focus on its running attack. The defense has overcome a rash of injuries to finish ninth in the NFL in yards allowed and fourth in points allowed. Hold the confetti: This is still the team that blew late leads in the final minute in losses to Philadelphia, New England and Denver, with a too-many-men flag giving Broncos kicker Wil Lutz a second chance to hit a game-winning field goal as time expired after he missed his first attempt. Dynamic as Allen has been, the quarterback can’t shake his turnover-prone ways. His 18 interceptions were a career high and second in the NFL behind Sam Howell’s 21 with Washington. As well as the defense — already missing starting CB Tre’Davious White and linebacker Matt Milano — has held up, it works best when playing with a lead. Buffalo is 2-4 this season when trailing or tied at the half. “I think it got to a certain point in a year where it’s just like, ‘Hey, this is the way it’s going to be so it’s time to buck up and get the job done.”— Coach Sean McDermott on Buffalo’s late-season surge

3. Kansas City Chiefs (11-6) Three Lombardi trophies in five Super Bowl appearances: lost to Packers 35-10 in Super Bowl 1, beat Vikings 23-7 in Super Bowl 4, beat 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl 54, lost to Buccaneers 31-9 in Super Bowl 55, beat Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl 57. Last year: No. 1 seed, beat Jaguars 27-20 in divisional round, beat Bengals 23-20 in AFC championship game. Plan the parade: The Chiefs have been to three of the past four Super Bowls and won two of them, and many of the key names have been part of them all. That includes coach Andy Reid, QB Patrick

Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce. But whereas the Chiefs of yesteryear were led by a dynamic offense that could score touchdowns on every play, this year’s team has been led by one of the stingiest defenses in the league. The Chiefs were No. 2 in total yards and scoring during the regular season, and they held opponents to 20 points or fewer in 13 of their 17 games. Hold the confetti: The Chiefs led the NFL in dropped passes, they have been prone to penalties at inopportune times and they were minus-11 in turnover margin. In other words, they have been incredibly sloppy for a team that won an eighth straight AFC West title. Their wide receivers in particular have been an inconsistent trouble spot aside from rookie Rashee Rice, who has developed into an exciting and dependable player on the perimeter. “Previous games — wins, loss — they mean nothing. That has absolutely no bearing on what’s going to happen. The best team is going to come out on top in the playoffs.”— Safety Justin Reid

4. Houston Texans (11-6) No Super Bowl appearances. Last year: 3-13-1. Plan the parade: Almost no one outside the organization expected the Texans to return to the playoffs this season. They made a remarkable turnaround in large part because of the stellar play of rookie QB C.J. Stroud, the second overall pick in the 2023 draft out of Ohio State. Despite missing two games with a concussion, Stroud threw for 4,108 yards, the third-highest total ever by a rookie. He has 23 touchdown passes with just five interceptions. Stroud has Houston ranked seventh in the NFL in yards passing per game after two seasons in which the Texans ranked among the worst in the league with Davis Mills at quarterback. Hold the confetti: Houston’s pass defense has been the team’s Achilles’ heel. The Texans rank 23rd in the league by giving up 234.1 yards passing a game. They have struggled to limit explosive plays in the passing game and often allow long TD

receptions. Their worst game in this area came in a Dec. 24 loss to the Browns when Amari Cooper had a 53-yard reception on the first play of the game and a 75-yard TD catch en route to a franchise-record 265 yards receiving. Defensive coordinator Matt Burke said he’s stressing to his group the importance of limiting these big plays in the passing game as Houston enters the postseason. “I talked about all throughout the year of us learning how to win, learning how to win, and I feel like we’ve done that, and we have valuable experience that will carry us throughout these playoffs.” — First-year head coach DeMeco Ryans

5. Cleveland Browns (11-6) No Super Bowl appearances but won NFL championship games in 1950, 1954, 1955 and 1964 before the Super Bowl era began in the 1966 season. Last year: 7-10. Plan the parade: Undaunted by numerous key injures since the opener, the Browns are in the postseason for just the third time since 1999. It’s their second visit in four years under coach Kevin Stefanski, who has established a positive culture for a franchise once awash in dysfunction. Edge rusher Myles Garrett makes Cleveland’s top-rated defense go. All it took for the offense to find its mojo was Deshaun Watson’s season-ending shoulder injury and 38-year-old QB Joe Flacco to fall off his couch in New Jersey. The Browns were the only team to beat top seeds Baltimore and San Francisco. Hold the confetti: Flacco’s magical ride could be all smoke and mirrors. He’s gotten away with some risky throws and Cleveland’s O-line has managed to protect him despite being without both starting tackles. A strong defensive front could change that with extreme pressure. The Browns have also somehow managed to defy the laws of football analytics by winning 11 games despite leading the NFL in giveaways. Turnovers in the postseason can be costly. This could end with Flacco hoisting the Lombardi Trophy again or flaming out early. “You’re promised one game here, that’s something good to fall back on. You can get comfort in that. One game. Prepare as hard as you can for one week and then when that’s all done, pick up and see where we’re at.” — Flacco

6. Miami Dolphins (11-6) Two Lombardi trophies in five Super Bowl appearances: lost to Cowboys 24-3 in Super Bowl 6, beat Washington 14-7 in Super Bowl 7, beat Vikings 24-7 in Super Bowl 8, lost to Washington 27-17 in Super Bowl 17, lost to 49ers 38-16 in Super Bowl 19. Last year: 9-8, No. 7 seed, lost 34-31 to Bills in wild-card round. Plan the parade: The Dolphins have had the NFL’s top-ranked offense all season behind Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill.

Tagovailoa led the league in passing with a career-high 4,624 yards, and Hill was one of the NFL’s top deep threats with a leaguebest 1,799 yards and 13 TD receptions. Miami has been at its best when it has had a balanced offensive attack, which also featured the shifty, speedy running of Raheem Mostert and rookie De’Von Achane. That, along with a defense that got better as the season went on, led the Dolphins to a playoff berth for the second straight season. Hold the confetti: This team doesn’t have much recent playoff experience. The Dolphins have not won a playoff game since Dec. 30, 2000, when they beat the Colts in overtime. Ending that drought won’t be easy, as a string of late-season injuries have left the Dolphins with a patchwork defense, while consecutive losses to Baltimore and Buffalo denied the Dolphins the chance to open the postseason at home. Miami was 1-5 in regular-season games played against playoff opponents. “That is rough. Myself and the whole organization want to deliver on ending that and doing right by all those years of passion.”— Coach Mike McDaniel on playoff win drought

7. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7) Six Lombardi trophies in eight Super Bowl appearances: beat Vikings 16-6 in Super Bowl 9, beat Cowboys 21-17 in Super Bowl 10, beat Cowboys 35-31 in Super Bowl 13, beat Rams 31-19 in Super Bowl 14, lost 27-17 to Cowboys in Super Bowl 30, beat Seahawks 21-10 in Super Bowl 40, beat Cardinals 27-23 in Super Bowl 43, lost 31-25 to Packers in Super Bowl 45. Last year: 9-8. Plan the parade: The Steelers have been here before. Back in 2005, Pittsburgh entered the playoffs as the last seed in the AFC, won three road games before beating Seattle in the Super Bowl for the franchise’s fifth championship. That team had a big-armed QB (Ben Roethlisberger), a two-headed RB monster (Willie Parker and Jerome Bettis), a future Hall of Fame defender (Troy Polamalu) and got hot late in the season. This team has a big-armed QB (Mason Rudolph), a two-headed RB monster (Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren), a (possible) future Hall of Fame defender (T.J. Watt) and got hot late in the season. Hold the confetti: Watt, who led the NFL in sacks for a third time, is out at least this week after injuring his left knee in the regular-season finale against Baltimore. Pro Bowl S Minkah Fitzpatrick is hardly 100% after recovering from a knee injury and while Rudolph has done a pretty solid Roethlisberger impression over the past three weeks, his resume isn’t exactly Roethlisberger-like. “There’s been some hot moments over the last three weeks. We’ve essentially kind of been in the playoffs.” — Coach Mike Tomlin

WOMEN’S COLLEG E BA SKE TBALL

Players shrug off new Sunday start Iowa’s superstar guard Clark gets prime-time spotlight today on Fox By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

Iga Swiatek seemed to capture the general sentiment of Australian Open players toward the tournament’s decision to begin on a Sunday instead of a Monday, creating a 15-day event. “It doesn’t really matter,” the topseeded Swiatek said at Melbourne Park. Certainly not to her: Swiatek’s half of the women’s draw won’t start until Monday, anyway. But there are plenty of players — including defending champions Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka — who were picked to compete on Day 1, 24 hours earlier than usual. That’s been the schedule at Roland Garros for more than 15 years; the U.S. Open and Wimbledon have stuck to the traditional Monday opening. Back when the French Open ﬁrst shifted to a Sunday start, stars such as Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova were hardly thrilled about being on court that quickly. “I asked if I could play later. The answer was, ‘You’re playing Sunday, fourth match,’ ” Sharapova said at the time. “How did it make me feel? Well, it doesn’t make you feel great when you know that the French federation, all they’re thinking about is selling tickets, making money and about their players. I mean, can’t be too happy about that.” Swiatek’s take? “At the end, it’s just the ﬁrst day, then the tournament goes back to normal after these Sunday matches,” she said. “People have two days off, then it goes back to normal.”

Return of the ‘Netflix curse?’ Six episodes of Season 2 of the tennis docuseries Break Point were released this week, so players and fans alike might be wondering whether there could be another “Netflix curse” in the offing at the Australian Open. A year ago, when the first five episodes of Season 1 came out shortly before play began at Melbourne Park, none of the 10 players featured prominently across those shows made it past the fourth round of singles at the tournament. Three pulled out of the field with an injury; a half-dozen lost in the first or second round. The protagonists this time include Jessica Pegula, Alexander Zverev, Holger Rune, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul and Coco Gauff, who won

Australia’s Nick Kyrgios interviews Coco Gauff of the United States on Friday during a practice session for the Australian Open in Melbourne, Australia.

TODAY ON TV 10 p.m. ESPN2 — The Australian Open, first round, Melbourne, Australia 1 a.m. Sunday ESPN2 — The Australian Open, first round, Melbourne, Australia

the U.S. Open in September for her ﬁrst Grand Slam title. “It really feels like so long ago,” said Gauff, a 19-year-old American. “I kind of forget it happened.”

Welcome back to Osaka, Raducanu, Kerber, more Whether they’re returning to the Australian Open after an absence or participating in any Grand Slam tournament for the first time in a while, there are all sorts of comebacks afoot at Melbourne Park. The list reads like a real Who’s Who of tennis: Naomi Osaka, Angelique Kerber, Caroline Wozniacki, Marin Cilic, Amanda Anisimova, Milos Raonic, Emma Raducanu and so on. Some won’t get a chance to ease their way back into things. Four-time major champion Osaka, for example, goes up in the first round against 16th-seeded Caroline Garcia, who reached the U.S. Open semifinals and won the WTA Finals in 2022. Raonic, the runner-up at Wimbledon in 2016, takes on Alex de Minaur, the Australian who made his Top 10 debut in the ATP rankings this week.

And Kerber, who beat Serena Williams in the 2016 final at Melbourne Park for the first of her three Grand Slam trophies, meets 2022 runner-up Danielle Collins, with the winner possibly facing Swiatek next. Kerber had a baby in 2023 and was away from the tour for about 11/2 years; she played her first matches as a mom at the United Cup this month. “Why [am I] coming back? I think this is the question a lot of people are asking me. I mean, it is because I love the sport. I love to play tennis. I already saw it last week with a lot of emotions again, a lot of dramas, up and downs, match points down. This is what I was missing — being on the court, seeing the fans and having the emotions out there,” Kerber said. “I have still the fire.”

Injured Nadal’s Grand Slam return is back on hold The many comebacks in Melbourne was expected to include that of Rafael Nadal, the 22-time Grand Slam champion who injured his hip ﬂexor during a second-round loss a year ago in Australia, eventually needed surgery and ended up missing the rest of 2023. Nadal did compete again in January, but only for three matches, before tearing a muscle near his hip at the Brisbane International and withdrawing from the Australian Open.

Caitlin Clark has set records on and off the court. The University of Iowa’s superstar guard is on track to do something never accomplished by a women’s basketball player. Appear on all four broadcast networks in the same season. Clark and the third-ranked Hawkeyes host No. 14 Indiana on Saturday night on Fox. Iowa is featured in four of the six Big Ten regular-season women’s games that will air on either Fox or NBC. Both networks have left open the possibility of adding more games. Should the Hawkeyes reach the Big Ten Tournament final on March 10, that game will be on CBS. ABC will carry NCAA Women’s Tournament games on weekend afternoons the first two weeks, along with the Women’s Final Four championship game in prime time on April 7. In fact, appearing on the four broadcast networks is something usually achieved only by top NFL players, like Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes. Fox even promoted the Indiana-Iowa game during its recent broadcast of the Jets-Patriots game. Fox’s Gus Johnson, who arrived in Iowa City on Thursday, called games in the early days of the WNBA for the New York Liberty. He also called college games for CBS, including what were the annual top-five matchups between UConn and Tennessee. Johnson marvels at what Clark can do, saying her star power is well deserved. “She is literally a virtuoso. I had to look that word up to really understand the exact definition of it before I came down here. She is a virtuoso in basketball,” Johnson said. “I’ve seen her on tape and live on TV. But now I get to see her with my own eyes, and I am so excited. “She plays in a different dimension and realm. Her ability to see, understand and anticipate the game and then from a physical aspect shoot the ball from almost anywhere when she gets into the front court.” Both Hawkeyes games against No.

17 Ohio State will be aired nationally (Jan. 21 on NBC and March 3 on Fox) while the Feb. 3 contest at Maryland on Fox could be moved to prime time. Geordie Wimmer, Caitlin Clark Fox Sports’ VP of Production, said TODAY the network is ON TV treating Saturday’s game like one of its 6 p.m. Fox — biggest matchups of Indiana at Iowa the year, including the men’s games. Besides Johnson, Fox has its top basketball production crew deployed and will use the same amount of cameras normally used for a top-ranked team. Johnson’s analyst will be Sarah Kustok, who also does Brooklyn Nets games on YES Network. The broadcast will feature Jenny Taft’s pregame feature and interview with Clark. It’s one of at least 13 women’s games on Fox this season, the most for a regular-season women’s college basketball package on any broadcast network. Fox will feature No. 18 Notre Dame against No. 13 UConn on Jan. 27. “As a network we’ve seen the growth of women’s sports, starting with the Women’s World Cup through women’s volleyball on the network and now college basketball. What we’re trying to do is grow the sport we have an interest in growing,” Wimmer said. “The best way to do it is give it the biggest audience we can. Obviously, Caitlin is an icon but it’s also us following what the audience wants. The Big Ten and Big East have a history of great women’s programs. We wouldn’t be doing this if it was about one player or team.” Clark — the ﬁrst Division I player to record at least 3,000 points, 900 assists and 800 career rebounds — leads the nation in scoring at 31.0 points per game and is coming off her fourth triple-double of the season (26 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) in Wednesday night’s 96-71 win at Purdue in a soldout Mackey Arena.

When not working on administrative tasks this position will be helping on the production ﬂoor with some physical labor involved with the ability of lifting up to 25 pounds. This position requires an organized person that can communicate well, is accurate with their work, is honest, can be on time every day and have an excellent attendance record. This is a mid-entry level position with room for advancement. Pay is ﬂexible and will be based on prior experience. Microsoft Excel skills required with the ability to use basic formulas in the program. Fluent bilingual English/Spanish is preferred. Any other software experience especially programs dealing with graphic design will also be helpful. Successful completion of a drug test will be required prior to employment offer.

for Santa Fe’s future. We also asked one of last year’s favorite roomies, Chef Johnny Vee, for tips on entertaining at home. Which he gladly offered up. In addition, this month’s favorite roomer is artist Joanne LeFrak, who, ironically, unlike Chef Johnny, spends most of her me-time in her kitchen. (Go figure.) Elsewhere, Saguna Severson talks with La Fonda ambassador and woman about town Jenny Kimball, and Ylise Kessler takes stock of AI in art. And this month’s cover home is . . . just . . . well, beyond.

versations with partners and close friends will be relaxed and cover a wide variety of topics. Tonight: Explore!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Today in particular, you will enjoy talking to people from other cultures and different backgrounds. It will please you to hear new ideas. Tonight: Friendships.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Although many people will relax today, you’re in the mood to work and be productive. Be aware of the Moon Alert, which is for most of this day! Tonight: Check finances.

MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping or important decisions from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. EST today. After that, the Moon moves into Pisces.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HH Be careful, because you have a natural interest in financial matters and shared property. However, today during the Moon Alert is a poor time to make financial decisions. Tonight: You’re noticed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH This is a wonderful day for any kind of creative work, because you’re imaginative and full of original ideas. It’s an excellent day to write, sculpt, draw, paint or work with children. Tonight: Cooperate.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Pull back and take it easy today. This is a poor day to shop

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH This is a wonderful day to schmooze with others. Con-

CRYPTOQUIP

TODAY IN HISTORY

However, you will also enjoy having friends and family over to relax with you, or possibly to do some work that is needed. Tonight: Get organized. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH This is a wonderful day for writers, teachers and anyone who has to come up with creative ideas in their communications with others! Tonight: Socialize! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HH Do be careful today, because a number of planets are in your Money House, which means you might spend money or even shop for clothing. Tonight: Cocoon. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Today you might feel a bit spaced out, even confused.

Part of you is energetic, driven and ambitious; however, you will discover that much of what you want to do will go south in a New York minute. TTonight: Share ideas. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH This is the perfect day to enjoy the company of others. You also might enjoy your own company, which you’re confident about doing because you’re an independent soul. Tonight: Check your belongings. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH This is a popular day for you! You will enjoy seeing friends or being involved with groups, perhaps even competitively. Nevertheless, because most of this day is a Moon Alert, agree to nothing important. Take it easy. Tonight: You win!

SHEINWOLD’S BRIDGE

Today is Saturday, Jan. 13, the 13th day of 2024. There are 353 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 13, 2021, President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House over the violent Jan. 6 siege of the Capitol, becoming the only president to be twice impeached; ten Republicans joined Democrats in voting to impeach Trump on a charge of “incitement of insurrection.”

Daughter’s chauffeuring irks mom Dear Annie: My daughter, “Emily,” has been dating “Ben” for almost two years. Ben is a great guy, aside from one issue that’s been bugging me: He refuses to drive anywhere and instead has my daughter drive him. He says it’s because a few years ago he was in a car accident and has been scared to drive since. (He was not hurt in the accident.) He has Emily drive him to and from work every day. Emily never complains about it, but it drives me insane because Emily and her kids were also in a car accident a few years back and suffer PTSD from that accident. Ben is aware of this, but doesn’t seem to get it. He thinks it’s no big deal for Emily to get over her fear while avoiding getting over his fear. I want to say something to him so badly, but I haven’t. And every time I say something to my daughter, she gets upset with me. How can I approach the situation without making it worse? — Miffed Mom Dear Miffed: Your intentions are good, and your irritation is understandable. But Emily is the one behind the wheel, figuratively and literally. When she’s tired of driving him, she can stop. Meanwhile, you can earn interest by keeping your two cents in the bank: If you avoid offering advice when your daughter hasn’t asked, she’ll be more likely to ask you for advice. Dear Annie: I agree with “What Did You Say” that mood music in TV shows often makes it hard to hear the dialogue. I would add background noises meant to create “realism” also frequently drown out what the actors are saying. Isn’t the dialogue important enough to make it audible? Because the problem is in the show itself, it doesn’t help much to turn up the volume. If I turn it up enough to make out the dialogue, then the music and ambient noise are so loud that it is annoying. My wife and I always watch shows with the closed captions on. We find that we even enjoy movies more at home than at the movie theater because we can have the captions on at home. It also helps a lot with BBC shows where the accents and British slang can make it hard to catch what is said. But it would be even better if the shows’ directors and editors highlighted the dialogue and turned down the sound effects. — Not Ready for the Ear Horn in Lafayette, Ind. Dear Not Ready for the Ear Horn: You’re not alone. A 2017 survey found 98% of people use closed captioning at least some of the time. While closed captions can certainly be helpful, some have pointed out they’re far from perfect and, during some live broadcasts, the captions lag behind the visuals.

Roll out the red carpet, because it is finally time to honor the year’s best television. The 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards air live coast-to-coast on Fox, Monday, Jan. 15. Broadcast from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, this year’s long-awaited awards ceremony welcomes TV’s on-screen and behind-the-scenes stars to recognize the achievements of nominees and winners alike. Originally set to take place in September 2023, the ceremony was postponed due to both writers and screen actors guild strikes last year. With the new submission guidelines in place for Emmy eligibility, all nominated work had to have aired in its entirety by May 31, meaning that, at the very least, it has been over seven months since these stellar TV shows, specials and movies have graced our screens. It comes as no surprise that the most-nominated series at this year’s Emmy Awards is HBO’s “Succession,” with a staggering 27 nominations for its final season. One of the most critically lauded shows in recent memory, “Succession” started strong in 2018 and only gained momentum over its four-season run. The final season of “Succession” was appointment television with its incredible writing, directing and performances recognized with nominations this year. In the Outstanding Drama Series category, “Succession” is nominated among fellow HBO series “House of the Dragon,” “The Last of Us” and “The White Lotus,” as well as “Andor” on Disney+, AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” Netflix’s “The Crown” and Showtime’s “Yellowjackets.” Outstanding Comedy Series nominees are ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” HBO’s “Barry,” Hulu’s “The Bear,” Amazon Freevee’s series “Jury Duty,” Prime Video’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” the Hulu sitcom “Only Murders in the Building,” “Ted Lasso” from Apple TV+ and Netflix’s “Wednesday.” Three performances from “Succession” were nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a
