AUDITOR’S RACE

By Patrick Malone The New Mexican

The race for state auditor pits state Sen. Tim Keller, a young Democrat looking to ascend New Mexico’s political ranks, against Republican Robert Aragon, a grizzled political veteran who hails from one of the state’s most storied and colorful political families and who has ties to Gov. Susana Martinez.

At 36, Keller already has spent six years in the Senate.

“For me, I guess the primary thing is I’ve learned over the last six years that the auditor plays a very important role in our state for accountability and use of taxpayer dollars,” he said. “In the Legislature, you have one or two months a year to have an impact on those topics. I want to do that year-round.”

Aragon, 57, said his sometimes stormy travels through the political landscape in New Mexico opened his eyes to the need for greater government accountability.

“Some of the abuses that I saw, some of the real problems in everyday operations of government really caught my attention,” he said. “My wife and I started talking about some of these issues and how to best address them. The State Auditor’s Office came into the discussion.”

Keller, an Albuquerque native, is a business economist with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and a master’s degree of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. He is married with a 1-year-old daughter.

Aragon, a lawyer in private practice, graduated from The University of New Mexico with a bachelor’s

ew issues separate New Mexico’s candidates for governor as starkly as those surrounding the state’s air, water and land.

Susana Martinez, the Republican incumbent, came into office with a promise to revisit environmental rules she saw as unfriendly to business. She appointed a task force to review environmental regulations in particular.

“Regulations such as [the] pit rule … do not move us toward a cleaner environment,” Martinez said in 2011 of a rule that set requirements for how waste from oil and gas drilling and production must be handled.

“Instead, they move jobs to the other side of the state line.”

Her administration unsuccessfully tried to prevent publication of a couple of environmental rules passed in her predecessor’s term, but unanimous votes by commissions she appointed later have since rescinded or changed the rules.

Leaders of the union that represents nurses and support staff at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center voted late Wednesday to recommend that members accept the hospital’s latest contract offer.

The union negotiating team’s recommendation could signal the end of months of rancorous public fighting between New Mexico District 1999 of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees and the hospital’s administration that hinged mostly on disagreements over staffing levels.

“We did get an offer that we can recommend to our members,” union leader Fonda Osborn said, adding that concessions from the hospital on staffing swayed the union’s negotiating team to support the offer that came together Wednesday.

“We are delighted that [the union] has indicated to us that it would favorably recommend the latest version of the contract to its members,” St. Vincent spokesman Arturo Delgado said.

The union has twice followed its negotiating team’s recommendations and rejected offers from the hospital over objections that they would have done little to improve staffing, which nurses contend has been too low to ensure safe care for patients. The three-year contract between the hospital and the union that represents nearly 500 employees expired July 31.

For more than two months, the union has been picketing outside the hospital to call attention to the dispute.

Osborn told The New Mexican that a membership vote on the contract is tentatively scheduled for Saturday.

“The part that we can live with is that the hospital has agreed to look at staffing on a shift-by-shift basis,” she said.

According to Osborn, the hospital has agreed to a nurse staffing level equal to at least 40 percent of similar hospitals, and it has pledged to meet that staffing level during every shift, every day.

“Before, if we had four nurses one day, five nurses the next day, and six nurses the day after that with the

A second case of Ebola among the nearly 100 doctors, nurses and assistants who treated Duncan for 10 days at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital was not unexpected.

NATION&WORLD Whole Foods to rank produce The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Whole Foods plans to start rolling out a system that ranks fruits and vegetables as “good,” ”better” or “best” based on the supplier’s farming practices.

Most notably, the supermarket chain says its “responsibly grown” labeling system for produce and flowers will prohibit the use of several common pesticides. The rankings will also take into account factors such as water and energy use.

The program will start appearing in the nearly 400 Whole Foods stores in the U.S. and Canada starting Wednesday, with the rankings being noted on signs where prices are listed.

Not all produce and flowers that Whole Foods sells will qualify.

The standards were developed by Whole Foods and are not an official government designation.

Whole Foods is trying to draw a sharper distinction between itself and its competitors.

The grocery chain already has ranking systems for meat and seafood, which takes into account animal welfare and sustainability standards, respectively.

Whole Foods, based in Austin, Texas, has nevertheless seen its sales growth slow as traditional supermarket chains and big-box retailers have muscled in on the market for organic and natural products.

Matt Rogers, global produce coordinator for Whole Foods, said the “responsibly grown” program is major push toward eliminating the use of certain pesticides that studies have indicated can be harmful to farm workers and children born to mothers exposed to them.

The program shouldn’t result in higher prices for shoppers, but Rogers said such labeling typically helps boost sales because people feel better about what they’re buying.

The end of pay TV? HBO Go will stand on its own starting next year

By Mae Anderson and Michael Liedtke The Associated Press

NEW YORK ext year HBO is cutting the cord and selling its popular streaming video service HBO Go as a stand-alone product, as more Americans choose to watch the Web, not the TV. Viewers longing to see Game of Thrones, True Detective and Veep will no longer have to pay big bucks for cable and satellite contracts. So, is this the end of pay TV as we know it?

“HBO and ESPN are the two main reasons why people have cable and satellite TV,” says Forrester analyst James McQuivey. “The whole industry has eyed them for years nervous that one day they would decide to do exactly what HBO said they’ll do in 2015. We don’t know until we see pricing and packaging how rapidly this will force a change in the way pay TV operators work, but it will definitely force a change.”

Millions already have cancelled payTV subscriptions — up to 10 million U.S. households are currently broadbandonly. And about 45 percent of Americans stream television shows at least once a month, according to research firm eMarketer. That number is expected to increase to 53 percent or 175 million people by 2018, it says.

Video streamers aren’t falling behind on entertainment — so-called “cordcutters” watched about 100 hours of video per month during the first half of this year, estimates the Internet research firm Sandvine. The trend accelerated as Netflix Inc.’s Internet video service expanded into original programming and bought the rights to show popular cable network shows such as Breaking Bad and American Horror Story. Netflix’s 36 million U.S. subscribers now watch about 100 minutes of Internet video each day, calculates BTIG Research analyst Rich Greenfield, based on Netflix disclosures about its customers’ overall viewership patterns. Netflix-watching accounts for about one-third of U.S. Internet traffic in the evening, according to Sandvine.

series as alternatives to pay TV. “Internet TV is going to be everything in a couple years,” Netflix CEO Reed Hastings told analysts during a Wednesday review of his company’s third-quarter earnings.

Jasmine Chan, 26, a marketing manager in Washington, D.C., said she and her boyfriend already use streaming services like Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. “With this announcement, we’ll probably be canceling our cable TV service and stick with just Internet,” Chan said.

HBO has about 30.4 million subscribers according to research firm SNL Kagan.

HBO CEO Richard Plepler said Wednesday that the network’s move is aimed at targeting the 80 million homes in the U.S. that do not have HBO but may want access to its content — and especially those broadband-only homes.

“That is a large and growing opportunity that should no longer be left untapped,” Plepler said at parent Time Warner Inc.’s investor meeting in New York. “It is time to remove all barriers to those who want HBO.” The separate access also could encourage people who currently tap into HBO Go with their parents’ cable subscription to buy their own. And it could convert some pirates to paying subscribers — Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes admitted on an earnings call last year that Game of Thrones is the most pirated show in the world, which he said was “better than an Emmy” for driving interest in the network.

Will this lead to a wave of pay-TV cancellations? Cable and satellite providers have long been against the unbundling of TV channel packages because they wouldn’t be able to charge as much for an a la carte menu of stations. Pepler said HBO plans to work with current partners and “explore models with new partners,” but did not give specifics.

Sports games are among the few programs that most viewers don’t DVR (and fast-forward through commercials). That live-watching has translated into big advertising sales for networks and huge broadcasting rights fees for owners of NFL and NBA franchises and other professional sports teams. While the model for how fans watch games could evolve, most leagues are locked in to traditional contracts through the next decade.

ACLU attorney gets civil rights post

Siege possible as ISIS nears town west of Baghdad

By Eric Tucker

Iraqi military deploys more troops

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — An American Civil Liberties Union attorney was named Wednesday to be the acting head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

Vanita Gupta, who has served for the past four years as deputy legal director of Vanita the ACLU Gupta and director of its Center for Justice, starts at the Justice Department next week.

She previously worked as a lawyer at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

A person familiar with the process said President Barack Obama plans to nominate Gupta to serve in the job permanently.

“Even as she has done trailblazing work as a civil rights lawyer, Vanita is also known as a unifier and consensus builder. She has a knack for bridging differences and building coalitions to drive progress,” Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement, saying Gupta has worked to promote “equal justice for all.”

As a civil rights lawyer, Gupta has been involved in representing drug prisoners in Texas who were ultimately pardoned by the governor and immigrant children detained at a privately run prison, and she’s overseen a project to end the segregation of HIV-infected prison inmates.

She has also been outspoken on matters of drug and sentencing policy.

In a New York Times opinion piece last year on reducing the nation’s prison population, she encouraged states to end mandatoryminimum sentences, rescind “three-strikes” laws and decriminalize the possession of marijuana.

“The buildup of our prison-industrial complex was a bipartisan process that unfolded over decades, and digging ourselves out of this hole will require unlikely political alliances,” she wrote.

Holder, who plans to leave his position once a successor is confirmed, has prioritized civil rights matters since becoming attorney general in 2009.

The Justice Department has challenged voting rights statutes it sees as impeding access to the ballot box and has launched twice as many broad civil rights investigations into police departments in the last five years as it did in the five years before that.

The department’s Civil Rights Division is currently investigating the shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old in Ferguson, Mo., as well as the overall practices of that city’s police department.

A prior civil rights nominee, Debo Adegbile, failed to win Senate confirmation last March amid opposition over his legal work at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund on behalf of Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former radio reporter who is serving life in prison in the 1981 shooting death of a Philadelphia police officer.

An aide to Holder, Molly Moran, has served in the position in an interim capacity.

She will become principal deputy associate attorney general.

ANALYSIS

Harbinger of a slump?

Wall Street takes dive as markets remain volatile

By Neil Irwin The New York Times

By a lot of measures, the United States economy is looking pretty good right now. The unemployment rate has fallen below 6 percent for the first time in half a dozen years, and jobs are being added at the fastest rate since before the Great Recession.

Things are looking better, that is, unless you turn your eye to Wall Street. There, the stock market’s main gauge, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index, fell 0.8 percent on Wednesday after a wild ride during the day.

It is off 7.4 percent since midSeptember.

Moreover, longer-term interest rates are down sharply, which normally signals pessimism in the bond market about the nation’s economic future. A measure of expected volatility hit its highest level since 2011 on Wednesday, signaling that more manic days could lie ahead.

This apparent contradiction — and how it is resolved — points to the basic question for the U.S. economy and for Federal Reserve policymakers right now. How powerful is that underlying economic strength?

And will the recent market volatility prove ultimately inconsequential, or does it presage harder times ahead for a nation still trying to muddle its way out of a downturn that technically ended more than five years ago?

In other words, does Wall Street know something that the rest of us don’t?

There are some reasons that, unnerving as these market moves have been, people who do not trade stocks and bonds for a living should still feel

reasonably good about where things stand. Yes, the market sell-off on Wednesday was driven partly by a weak reading on United States retail sales, which fell 0.3 percent in September. But some of the most direct effects of the market action are actually positives for ordinary Americans.

The price of oil is down about 20 percent since summer, which is making a wide range of fuels less expensive. Gasoline now averages $3.18 a gallon, down 14 percent since the spring, according to data from AAA. A slump in the prices of agricultural commodities like corn, soybeans and wheat should, over time, make trips to the grocery store cheaper.

And with money gushing away from risky investments like stocks into safer bonds, long-term interest rates have fallen steeply; the yield on a 10-year Treasury note briefly dipped below 2 percent on Wednesday morning, the lowest it has been in more than a year.

(It closed the day at 2.13 percent).

While job growth has been solid this year, wages are rising barely faster than inflation, and the U.S. economy is producing far below its economic potential by most official estimates. The Federal Reserve’s policies of printing trillions of dollars to buy bonds have been an important factor.

So the correction may not be about Wall Street knowing

something about the outlook for the future that the rest of us do not, but rather about markets adjusting to more realistically reflect economic reality.

“Due to excessive confidence in central banks, investors eagerly decoupled high market valuations from what was warranted by the sluggish fundamentals,” said Mohamed A. ElErian, chief economic adviser of Allianz, the financial services company.

There is a big question, though, as to what, if anything, global policymakers ought to do about it. Federal Reserve officials have been clear that they expect to start raising interest rates from their long-standing near-zero levels sometime in the middle of 2015.

The decision whether to increase interest rates next year will be the frist big test for Janet L. Yellen, the chairwoman of the Fed. The quandary for Yellen, and for anyone reading scary headlines about the latest market moves, is this: Are these the kinds of routine gyrations on Wall Street that can be safely ignored?

Auditor: Aragon, Keller have different emphasis for job if elected Continued from Page A-1 degree, then earned a juris doctorate.

He and his wife of 32 years have three grown daughters.

The auditor’s legal obligation is to ensure that all taxpayer-funded entities in the state are audited on an annual basis, and that would be Aragon’s top priority, he said.

“I know it sounds trivial, but the first thing we have to do is comply with the law,” Aragon said. Too often, he said, agencies are not pushed hard enough to perform legally required financial reviews. He said his priority would be to understand what’s stopping compliance and help agencies, particularly smaller, less sophisticated ones, meet their obligations.

“It should not be punitive,” Aragon said.

Keller has more specific targets.

He aims to review vacancies in state departments where money is budgeted but not used.

“The amount of money sloshing around unused throughout [all levels of] government in New Mexico is staggering,” he said. “I’ve already identified $900 million sitting around in cash accounts, funds that aren’t spent and vacancies that are unfilled. I want to hold agencies accountable to either spend it or give it back. It doesn’t do anybody any good sitting around gathering dust.”

Keller said he would investigate education funds earmarked for classroom use that he says “are being spent on out-of-state, for-profit companies,” as directed by the Public Education Department, and take a close look at the impact of last year’s change in behavioral health providers from 15 New Mexico companies suspected of Medicaid fraud to five Arizona firms chosen by Martinez’s administration to

Though less publicized than his opponent’s switch, Keller changed his affiliation from Republican to Democrat soon after college, when a trip to Cambodia changed his perspective.

“I came to the fundamental belief that the difference between communities that are prosperous and those that aren’t is how the government helps its citizens,” Keller said. “Democrats fundamentally want to help citizens; Republicans fundamentally want to get out of the way.”

Keller said the same division distinguishes him from Aragon.

“I believe that government should provide services that help New Mexicans,” Keller said. “Reducing government and stopping government is what I hear coming from [Aragon]. I want to help government work better, not just crack down.”

Aragon said the difference between him and Keller comes down to ambition. “[Keller] is a politician. I’m not,” Aragon said. “At age 57, I’m not starting a lifetime of ambition to be anything other than to hold this office.”

Keller didn’t deny that he could seek higher office in the future, considering his youth and the eight-year term limit on holding the auditor’s position.

“Of course I’d be interested in public office after eight years,” he said.

“Hopefully I have a long and impactful public service career ahead of me.”

Keller holds a vast fundraising advantage over Aragon: $348,473.07 to $15,900, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. Keller has outspent Aragon $285,019 to $6,422.

switching to more renewable energy sources, building natural gas plants or increasing nuclear power to replace coal.

King supports the EPA’s proposed carbon emissions rule for existing coal-fired power plants. New Mexico, under King’s direction, has joined 10 other states and New York City in asking to intervene in opposition to an appeal of the carbon rule by West Virginia and other states.

“New Mexico is currently participating in legal proceedings to require the EPA to regulate carbon dioxide as a hazardous pollutant,” King said. “We should continue to participate.”

Developing energy King said the state should strive to meet current renewable energy standards calling for utilities to produce 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources like wind and solar by 2020. But he also said the state should set new standards to encourage more renewable energy.

“We should provide incentives to companies that are developing more efficient technologies for renewable energy production and storage,” he said. “We should also develop new ideas to increase our exports of natural gas for energy production and chemical synthesis.”

He said New Mexico should be a leader in energy conservation, fostering technologies to store renewable energy and in carbon sequestration “that can help in reducing future increases in greenhouse gas concentrations.”

Martinez said the state needs to pursue an “all of the above” approach to energy by developing oil, gas, wind and sun.

“State government should help — not hinder — companies that want to explore energy production, and one way to do that is to provide answers quickly for those seeking energy permits,” Martinez told The New Mexican in an email. “For example, New Mexico now processes energy permits within eight days or less, allowing companies to create jobs without getting entangled in bureaucracy. We should also focus on reforming and expanding the renewable energy tax credit to make it work for New Mexico employers and attract new businesses.”

Ebola: GOP urges ban on travel Nurses: ‘Big shift in philosophy’ Continued from Page A-1 But the appearance of a new Ebola patient replayed a public health drama that unfolded in this city twice before in a two-week period. The day also provided more signs of concern about the ability of federal officials to control the spread of the disease, particularly to health care workers — and indications that the issue was becoming politicized.

President Barack Obama Wednesday canceled his travel to a fundraiser in New Jersey and a campaign rally in Connecticut so he could convene a meeting of officials to coordinate the government’s response to the spread of the Ebola virus.

Cities and states adopted heightened security measures, and Vinson was being treated at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta rather than in Dallas — all signs of the heightened focus on the disease and the fears it has stirred.

House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday became the most high-profile Republican to urge Obama to consider a travel ban on those traveling to the United States from West African countries where the Ebola virus is spreading rapidly. The same point has been raised by several Republican candidates in tight Senate races, including David Perdue of Georgia, Mike Rounds of South Dakota and Joni Ernst of Iowa.

At Kent State University in Ohio, where Vinson studied

nursing and her mother and two other relatives worked, officials issued a statement asking her three family members to stay off campus for the next three weeks.

Frontier Airlines said it had put the two pilots and four flight attendants on Flight 1143 on paid leave.

The Frontier jet that carried Vinson on Monday made five flights after her trip before it was taken out of service, according to Flightaware.com, a flight tracking website.

The first nurse infected, Pham, 26, remained in “good condition,” the hospital said.

Vinson was ill but stable, as she was transferred Wednesday to Emory, one of four hospitals in the U.S. that have special highcontainment units for isolating patients with dangerous infectious diseases.

Emory officials said both the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Texas Health Resources, the Dallas hospital’s parent company, had specifically requested that she be transferred there.

Though Vinson had traveled on Monday, the day before she reported symptoms on Tuesday, she had been among a group of hospital workers at Presbyterian who were being monitored following the diagnosis on Sunday of the first nurse, Pham. And although her temperature did not meet the fever threshold of 100.4, Vinson reported to health officials that her temperature at the time she traveled was

99.5 degrees.

“Because at that point she was in a group of individuals known to have exposure to Ebola, she should not have traveled on a commercial airline,” CDC Director Dr. Thomas R. Frieden said.

“The CDC guidance in this setting outlines the need for what is called ‘controlled movement.’ That can include a charter plane, that can include a car but it does not include public transport.” Hours after Frieden spoke, a federal health official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said that because it was thought that Vinson’s protective gear would have kept her safe and because the temperature was only mildly elevated, she fell into a category not covered by CDC guidelines and therefore was not forbidden to board the plane.

“I don’t think we actually said she could fly, but they didn’t tell her she couldn’t fly,” the official said.

Continued from Page A-1 same number of patients, it all evened out in the hospital’s eyes, even if for one or two of those days we were actually understaffed,” Osborn said.

“This will give us a much better chance to fix the situation when we’re not adequately staffed.”

The offer before the union carries a provision to penalize the hospital with monetary fines when it does not meet the minimum staffing level, according to Osborn. The fines will go into a fund for nurse education at the hospital.

The hospital’s offer also gives nurses a greater voice to share their observations about how patient care can be improved, Osborn said. “This and the movement on staffing represent big shifts in philosophy on the part of the hospital,” she said.

Throughout negotiations, the hospital’s administration has been clear that its top priority is patients’ medical outcomes, and that those have been steadily

improving. Hospital leaders said publicly that adding more nurses would not necessarily improve patient experiences.

At times during the past two months, the hospital has notified the union that it was done negotiating face to face. But Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales intervened and urged both

sides to return to the table.

“The mayor put himself on the line to bring the hospital back to the table,” Osborn said.

“We give him quite a bit of credit for that.” Osborn would not divulge more details about the hospital’s offer before sharing them with union members.

St. John’s conference explores value of a liberal education College examines skepticism on 50th anniversary

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

Joey Leakakos, 30, said after he graduates from St. John’s College in Santa Fe next spring, he may become a social worker or a psychologist. It’s also possible he will be a teacher. If you ask him in two more weeks, he may tell you he plans to work on a huge mathematical thesis to help build his

reputation. He feels he has a lot of options. One thing he’s not worried about is landing a job.

But his parents have told him they wonder if the annual $44,000 tuition for a liberal arts bachelor’s degree will pay off when it comes to finding steady employment.

And no wonder. In May, a survey by the research and consulting firm Millennial Branding and the career advisory website Beyond. com reported that just 2 percent of companies are recruiting college graduates with liberal arts degrees.

St. John’s College Presi-

Ex-CVB director says he was pushed out

dent Michael Peterson said he believes such reports focus “too narrowly on the worth of a liberal education.” He said the question of how to value a liberal education has become diluted and criticized and needs to be addressed.

Hence, the institute is hosting, “What Is Liberal Education For?” The threeday lineup of seminars and discussions will focus on the history, purpose and challenges facing liberal arts colleges. The conference runs from Thursday through Saturday on St. John’s Santa Fe campus. About 70 pre-

senters will offer close to 30 different panel discussions covering everything from a Socratic education to the importance of liberal education in sustaining American democracy.

Among the offerings is Columbia University professor and author Andrew Delbanco’s discussion, “Does Liberal Education Have a Future?” at 12:25 p.m. Friday and a group panel talk, “The Value of Liberal Education as Experienced Today,” at 8:45 a.m. Saturday.

New clinic on schedule

Luttjohann headed to new job in California

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Jim Luttjohann thought he would be in Santa Fe for the long haul.

But after Mayor Javier Gonzales took office in March, the former executive director of the city’s convention and visitors bureau said, he was basically pushed out of the job.

“If I hadn’t quit, I would’ve been let go,” Luttjohann said Monday. “That’s exactly the flavor of it.”

Jim But Luttjohann Luttjohann isn’t sulking at home.

He has accepted a job as president and CEO of the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce in California.

“We think Jim’s previous experience with destination marketing organizations makes him a perfect fit for the Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce,” Kevin Strege, immediate past chairman of the chamber’s Board of Directors and chairman of the CEO search committee, said in a statement.

Luttjohann starts his new job Nov. 10. He said he plans to move to Catalina, an island off the coast of Southern California, before then to get situated. His partner, Steve Eddy, and their high-school exchange student from Norway will join him in January.

“I think everyone should live on an island before they leave the planet, and I get to do it now,” Luttjohann said.

In his first interview about his departure since he abruptly resigned in April, Luttjohann said the Gonzales administration wanted to make across-the-board changes in tourism, one of Santa Fe’s primary economic drivers. But he said he doesn’t know what those changes were because he was left out of the loop.

He said there were “several meetings” with either Gonzales or City Manager Brian Snyder that “ended up being delayed or rescheduled in the few weeks between the new administration coming in and my exit.”

“It was just, you know, kind of frustrating and not really being made clear,” he said. “It was like, ‘Come to this meeting and we’re going to talk about things,’ and then the meeting would get canceled or changed.”

Less than three hours after he resigned in April, Snyder announced a new director, Randy Randall, who has had a 45-year career in the tourism industry.

Luttjohann said he met Randall after his departure. He said Randall is very well-respected in the hospitality industry.

“I can only wish him the best and hope that what I started he can make use of in carrying the organization forward,” Luttjohann said.

In a statement, Snyder congratulated Luttjohann on his new position.

“To this day, we’re grateful for his service,” Snyder said. “Our personnel change was about making a move in

Better technology and improved management is reducing hospital stays and increasing the need for more coordinated-care centers like the one going up in Santa Fe, Hinton said.

In 2013, Presbyterian recruited 14 primary care physicians to New Mexico. Hinton said Presbyterian, like Christus St. Vincent, is working to improve care by expanding services.

“St. Vincent provides a lot of care for Presbyterian Plan members, and they will continue to do so,” Hinton said.

He added that Presbyterian still owns a large parcel of land near Cerrillos Road and Interstate 25 for future expansion, but nothing is on the immediate horizon.

Presbyterian recently made a list

by Business Insider for being the largest private employer by revenue in New Mexico — at $2.5 billion a year.

The organization has 10,500 employees, which makes it the second largest private employer in New Mexico after Wal-Mart, according to Hinton.

A new national study notes that 30 states — including New Mexico — are providing less funding per pupil for the current school year than they did before the recession hit in 2008.

The report, released by the Washington, D.C.-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said New Mexico has raised per-student funding by $124 in the current year, but that’s not enough to offset the $757 perpupil cuts of the previous years dating back to when Bill Richardson was governor.

Oklahoma, with cuts of more than 23 percent since 2008, ranked at the bottom of the report. North Dakota, which increased spending by over 31 percent since 2008, was at the top. New Mexico is 29th.

Several factors are at play, according to the report, including the impact of the recession and the fact that there are more children in the public school system. State revenues have barely returned to pre-recession levels, according to Michael Leachman, director of state fiscal research for the center.

“I’m well aware that state revenues have been growing but only slowly,” he said by phone late Wednesday. “It’s not real shocking that the improvement has been modest.”

He said states also are reeling from federal budget cuts — with Title 1 funds, for instance, down about 10 percent since 2010.

Leachman said the states that have maintained per-pupil funding levels have struck a balance between cutting their budgets and increasing revenue and have maintained a healthy cash surplus.

“That’s not so true in New Mexico the last couple of years,” he said.

He cited California as a state that, while still 3 percent below 2008 levels, managed to make some funding increases due to enacting legislation to raise taxes.

The trip to Kentucky is the fourth that Gonzales has taken out of state in his official capacity as mayor.

In June, he and Noah Berke, a planning and policy administrator who worked in the Mayor’s Office until recently, attended the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Dallas. That trip cost taxpayers $3,224.

In early September, he traveled to the United Kingdom for a week to attend a series of meetings to discuss

economic development, climate change and transportation with government and industry leaders in the United Kingdom. Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office paid those expenses.

In mid-September, Gonzales went to South Carolina for three days to attend the 60th National Session of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design. Gonzales was a presenter and led a conversation about redeveloping the St. Michael’s Drive corridor between the Santa Fe University of Art and Design and the Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. Travel and accommodation costs were covered by the institute.

70 percent vanish into country’s interior

By Alicia A. Caldwell The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — For nearly three months this summer, the Obama administration carefully avoided answering questions about what happened to tens of thousands of immigrant families caught illegally crossing the Mexican border and released into the United States with instructions to report back to immigration authorities.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and others said they faced deportation. But it turns out that tens of thousands of those immigrants did not follow the government’s instructions to meet with federal immigration agents within 15 days.

Instead, they have vanished into the interior of the U.S. The Homeland Security Department privately acknowledged that about 70 percent of immigrant families failed to report as ordered. The disclosure came during a confidential meeting at its Washington headquarters with immigration advocates participating in a federal working group on detention and enforcement policies.

The Associated Press obtained an audio recording of Wednesday’s meeting and separately interviewed participants.

On the recording, the government did not specify the total number of families released into the U.S. since October. Since only a few hundred families have already been returned to their home countries and limited U.S. detention facilities can house only about 1,200 family members, the 70 percent figure suggests the government released roughly 41,000 members of immigrant families who subsequently failed to appear at federal immigration offices. The official, who was not identified by name on the recording, also said final deportation had been ordered for at least 860 people traveling as families caught at the border since May but only 14 people had reported as ordered.

N.M. lags Continued from Page A-6 “That’s the biggest mover that stands out to me,” he said. He said New Mexico has made “modest improvement” in the past few years and is about 1.8 percent below 2008 levels in per-pupil support.

Larry Behrens, a spokesman for the New Mexico Public Education Department, said the state is spending more on education than ever before. He noted that a recent National Education Association study placed New Mexico 20th in per-pupil spending. About $2.7 billion of the state’s $6.2 billion budget goes into education.

A number of reports estimate that New Mexico spends about $7,300 per student.

The report culls data from state budgets and the U.S. Census Bureau, among other sources, and notes that K-12 education cuts “have had serious consequences for the economy,” including job losses for those in the education field.

Earlier this month, Santa Fe Public Schools joined two other school districts and other entities in a lawsuit against the state of New Mexico and the Public Education Department in an effort to force an increase in funding for public schools.

This past spring, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund filed a similar suit charging the state and Public Education with violating the constitutional rights of students who are at risk of failing academically, including special education, low-income and Spanish-speaking students.

That case is working its way through the courts, and the Public Education Department has requested that it be dismissed.

A Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputy faces traffic citations after she allegedly hit a car in an Española liquor store parking lot and left the scene, Española police said Wednesday.

Deputy Nicole Romero, a former Española officer, was driving her personal truck when she hit a car Tuesday afternoon as she was pulling into El Rey Liquors at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Pueblo Street, Española Police Chief Richard Gallegos said.

Romero, who was off duty at the time, “clipped” the front of a car that was coming out of the parking lot as she was driving in, Gallegos said.

The woman gave Española officers Romero’s license plate number.

Officers also looked at surveillance footage from the store.

“After seeing the video, we recognized it was her [Romero] because she used to work with us,” Gallegos said.

When Española officers

found Romero in her Arroyo Seco home the same day, he said, she told them she had left the scene because the other driver “was yelling at her.”

The police chief said when his department identified Romero as a Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputy, an Española officer notified the sheriff’s office that she was being investigated.

Gallegos said Romero will be summoned to court and faces citations of not notifying authorities of a motor vehicle accident an causing and leaving the scene of a vehicle accident.

Maj. Ken Johnson, a Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said Romero was not placed on administrative leave.

He said the sheriff’s office is waiting for the Española police report to determine if she violated any department policies.

If so, Johnson said, Romero could face disciplinary action.

Al-Anon can help mom of alcoholic Dear Annie: My grown son is an alcoholic. It has not interfered with his job so far, but it seems to be getting worse. His father drank himself to death, and I’m so worried he will go down the same path. He absolutely won’t discuss it.

Last Mother’s Day, he promised to give up drinking, but a month later, I saw him guzzle two beers at a family picnic, and I remarked on it. He said he never wanted to speak to me again, and since then, he hasn’t.

I’m not getting any younger, and I miss my son. I will be attending Al-Anon meetings, but is there anything else I can do? — Suffering in Illinois Dear Suffering: We’re so sorry your son has chosen not to deal with his alcoholism, but this is not something you can change for him. He must do it himself.

You have made a wise decision to attend Al-Anon meetings. This is a wonderful organization for people whose lives are affected by a loved one’s drinking. The members there will give you coping strategies and a shoulder to cry on, as well as advice for dealing specifically with your son. We hope he contacts you soon.

Dear Annie: My dearest girlfriend insists on putting a dessert spoon at the top of the dinner plates when she hosts a formal dinner. She says that’s what etiquette demands.

I think a dessert spoon should be served with dessert instead of sitting out on the table during the entire dinner. Who’s right? — Etiquette Challenged in Dallas Dear Dallas: In a formal setting, dessert forks and spoons are brought out with the dessert. For an informal setting, however, it is perfectly OK to place dessert utensils above the plate or with the rest of the forks and spoons (the fork on the left, closest to the plate, and the spoon on the right, closest to the plate, because those will be the last utensils used).

Dear Annie: I usually agree with your advice, but I think you missed the mark with “Disappointed,” the frustrated bridesmaid. She said the bride ordered hideous dresses, and when the bridesmaids tried to get her to

find another, she didn’t like any of them. When “Disappointed” found her own dress, the bride didn’t like it. She then offered to drop out of the wedding party.

At the rehearsal dinner, the bride announced that she had a new maid of honor because the other one didn’t want to give a speech.

When a woman agrees to be a bridesmaid, she agrees to the bride’s choice of dress. If they are ugly, no one attending the wedding blames the bridesmaids.

“Disappointed” complained that she bought three dresses she could “ill afford.” However, one of them was because the bride was trying to please her bridesmaids, and the last one was because “Disappointed” thought she had better taste than the bride. The bride was kind enough to allow her out of the maid-of-honor role, while keeping her in the wedding party.

As for the “lie” that the bride told at the rehearsal dinner?

My guess is the bride thought it sounded better than “my best friend is too selfish to honor my choice of bridesmaid dress.” Personally, I think “Disappointed” sounds like a bridesmaidzilla. — Should Have Eloped Dear Should Have: We appreciate your spin on the situation, but brides need to take their attendants’ financial situations into consideration when choosing a dress. And a thoughtful bride will ask her bridesmaids to help select the dress to begin with, preventing exactly this type of rancor. As for the lie at the rehearsal dinner, we don’t understand why the bride felt it was necessary to make a public announcement altogether, surprising (and embarrassing) her friend. We will say, however, that an apology — on either side — can go a long way toward repairing a friendship. We hope they can do it.

Dogs in need of knee surgery, too

By Sue Manning

Dog surgery can cost up to $5,000, depending on location, while ACL surgery can cost as much as $27,000, according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.

The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Dashing after a ball or tumbling off a couch make dogs up to 10 times as likely to get surgery on a key knee ligament that is similar to the one athletes often injure.

Playing sports like soccer, basketball or volleyball can lead people to traumatically tear their anterior cruciate ligament, more commonly known as the ACL, during games or practices.

Dogs can get hurt that way, too, but it’s more likely their subtle tears will grow over time from an everyday strain to a painful obstacle because of the animals’ high level of activity.

“I think the average dog is infinitely more athletic than the average person,” said Dr. Ross Lirtzman, a veterinary surgeon at Arizona Canine Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Group.

While dogs are living longer and becoming bigger parts of people’s lives, more pet owners are getting the surgeries for their pets, Lirtzman said.

But with increasing interest in the operations comes potential pitfalls. Veterinary care isn’t as well-regulated as the medical industry, so heartbreak can follow if pet owners fail to get a qualified surgeon for the operation.

The surgeries worked for Molly, a 3-year-old, 65-pound pit bull, who lives with her owner in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale. The dog got her first surgery after being injured in December 2012, and just as it was healing, the ligament in her other knee gave out and she underwent a second operation, owner Leonard Sands said.

“Everything she was able to do prior to surgery, she was able to do after,” Sands said. “She still can’t beat the greyhounds at the dog park, but she swims, hikes, climbs and runs like crazy.”

Since the surgeries, she has become a certified therapy dog, is a regular at children’s and veteran’s hospitals and keeps up with Sands, 68, and his wife, who live on a golf course and go hiking, walking and bike riding.

Dogs don’t have an ACL,

Many professional athletes have come back from successful ACL surgery, but it takes a year out of their careers, said Reznik, an academy member who’s performed thousands of operations and written two books, I’ve Fallen and I Can Get Up and The Knee and Shoulder Handbook.

Surgery gave a boost to Max, Brenda Mader’s 7-year-old service dog, after his left knee gave out.

Ad gains notice with ‘Breaking Bad’ reference ON THE WEB

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

State auditor candidate Tim Keller this week drew the attention of the national political press for a campaign commercial that uses a backdrop familiar to fans of the now-defunct television drama Breaking Bad. It’s the car wash where Walter White, the main character on the AMC network series, and his wife laundered their revenue from the illegal methamphetamine trade.

“Breaking Bad made this car wash famous on TV,” Keller says on the ad. “The true story about New Mexico politics isn’t much cleaner. That’s why as state senator I took the lead to pass anti-corruption laws.

And as auditor, I’ll fight fraud and waste, to make sure tax dollars go to the classroom

and to create jobs.”

The ad also rips into Keller’s Republican opponent, Robert Aragon, over past lawsuits from clients as well as an old tax problem. This is done as Aragon’s photo is shown over Breaking Bad’s opening logo with a yellow cloud of methamphetamine smoke.

The part about Aragon is spoken off camera by Albuquerque actor Steven Michael Quezada, who played Drug Enforcement Administration Agent Steve Gomez on the show.

After Keller’s campaign announced the

In brief Man accused of rape in casino parking lot A 36-year-old Santa Fe man is being held on suspicion of raping a woman in the parking lot of Cities of Gold Casino on Tuesday A report from a Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputy says the woman told authorities she had met Bobby Pacheco inside the casino at Pojoaque Pueblo, and they walked together to the parking lot at about 10:45 p.m. It’s unclear if the woman was inside a car at the time of the alleged assault. The report says Pacheco fled the area and was found less than a mile away.

Pacheco was booked into the Santa Fe County jail at about 1 a.m. Wednesday and is being held without bond, online jail records show. Pacheco is being accused of criminal sexual penetration, battery and false imprisonment.

“I had my first summer off since I was 14 years old,” he said. “I went to Alaska. I did things that were always getting on hold because working on tourism is very much a 24/7 job.

You put a lot of things on the back burner about your own life to work in this industry.” Luttjohann, who owned a home in Santa Fe before he took the job at the Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau in 2012 and then purchased another one since then, said he plans to return to New Mexico for visits.

“I’ll be back on vacation all the time. I love this place,” he said.

Abraham is accused of approaching the 67-year-old woman as she sat in her vehicle in a drive-thru lane Oct. 5. He grabbed the woman’s arm and said, “I’ll take that,” a police report says. Police say Abraham was able to snatch some money from her hand, after

This isn’t the first time Breaking Bad, which was shot on location in Albuquerque, made its mark on New Mexico politics. In 2013, legislation to increase the state tax rebate for television series productions in the state was dubbed “The Breaking Bad Bill.”

which the woman told her grandson, who was in the vehicle with her, to call 911.

The woman tried to follow Abraham in her vehicle, but neither she nor a police officer could find Abraham, the police report says.

Abraham was arrested Oct. 9 after investigators received a tip.

Show to premiere episode of 1983 Santa Fe murder Investigation Discovery’s On the Case With Paula Zahn, a documentary-style television show, will premiere an episode this Sunday about the 1983 Santa Fe homicide of Janet Benoit.

The program will include interviews with Santa Fe New Mexican reporter Steve Terrell, Santa Fe Police Department detectives Cres Archuleta and Tony Trujillo and other Santa Fe officials.

The episode, titled “Murder in Room 2005,” is about the murder of the 22-year-old woman, whose body was found at the Comfort Inn. A housekeeper discovered Benoit’s body when she went into the room to clean and saw the “victim lying face down with her head hanging off the end of the bed,” according to news release by the TV network.

The case was solved 20 years after the murder, when investigators arrested David Bruce Morton, who pleaded guilty to the murder of Benoit in 2003.

Morton also pleaded guilty to the murder of another Santa Fe woman, Teri Lynn Mulvaney, 25, who was killed in 1984. Mulvaney was a neighbor of Morton at the time of her murder.

The episode is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. local time on Investigation Discovery, which is carried on cable and satellite systems.

COMMENTARY: FRANK BRUNI

Americans take pride in panicking

W

e Americans do panic really well.

We could use a few pointers on prudence.

Do me a favor. Turn away from the ceaseless media coverage of Ebola in Texas — the interviews with the Dallas nurse’s neighbors, the handwringing over her pooch, the instructions on protective medical gear — and answer this: Have you had your flu shot? Are you planning on one?

During the 2013-2014 flu season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 46 percent of Americans received vaccinations against influenza, even though it kills about 3,000 people in this country in a good year, nearly 50,000 in a bad one.

These are deaths by a familiar assassin. Many of them could have been prevented. So why aren’t we in a lather over that? Why fixate on remote threats that we feel we can’t control when there are immediate ones that we simply don’t bother to?

On matters exotic, we’re rapt. On matters quotidian, which are nonetheless matters of life and death, we’re cavalier. Tens of thousands of Americans die in car crashes annually, and according to a federal analysis from 2012, more than half of them weren’t wearing seat belts.

Perhaps that didn’t make a difference in many cases.

In some, it probably did. But on this front, as on others, we have clear answers about how to minimize risk, and we simply proceed to forget or ignore them.

There’s no way to square skin-cancer statistics in the United States — more than 3.5 million cases diagnosed yearly and almost 10,000 deaths — with the number of Americans showing off their tans. They aren’t all getting body paint. They’ve been lectured about sunscreen and shade and hats. But vanity trumps sanity, and melanoma rides its coattails.

I’m not dismissing the horror of Ebola, a full-blown crisis in Africa that should

OUR VIEW

Forum surprise a loss for voters

S command the whole world’s assistance. And Ebola in the United States certainly warrants concern. We’re still searching for definitive answers about transmission and prevention.

But Americans already have such answers about a host of other, greater perils to our health, and we’d be wiser to reacquaint ourselves with those, and recommit to heeding them, than to worry about our imminent exposure to Ebola.

“People get very fearful and stressed out and have a lot of anxiety about things like Ebola that aren’t a general health risk,” said Jeffrey Duchin, who is the chairman of the public health committee of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. “Just look at causes of death in the United States. Everything is higher than Ebola, and there are things that we can do about many of them.”

Duchin, a physician, moderated a panel of experts who discussed Ebola at the society’s conference last week.

These doctors sought to refocus attention on influenza, which lacks novelty but not potency.

In my conversation with him, Duchin also pointed out that between 2.7 million and

5.2 million Americans are believed to be infected with the hepatitis C virus. Deaths related to it can range widely, from 17,000 to 80,000 annually, he said. There’s a test for it. There’s effective treatment.

But the CDC says that up to 75 percent of the people with the virus don’t know they have it.

Stephen Morse, a professor of epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, told me: “We have a lot of vaccinepreventable diseases, and we see more and more people refusing to have their children take vaccines.”

He was referring to outbreaks of measles and pertussis (or whooping cough) in states and cities where parents have hallucinated a connection between immunizations and autism. They cling to this fiction in the face of scientific information to the contrary.

Both The Hollywood Reporter and Time magazine recently published accounts of anti-vaccine madness among supposedly educated, affluent Americans in particular.

According to the story in The Hollywood Reporter, by Gary Baum, the parents of 57 percent of the children at a Beverly Hills preschool and of 68 percent at one in Santa Monica had filed personal-

belief exemptions from having their kids vaccinated.

Such numbers, Baum wrote, “are in line with immunization rates in developing countries like Chad and South Sudan.”

On CNN on Monday night, a Dallas pediatrician was asked about what she had advised the families she sees.

She said that she urged them to have their children “vaccinated against diseases that we can prevent” and that she also stressed frequent handwashing. Ebola or no Ebola, it’s a responsible — and frequently disregarded — way to lessen health risks.

So are these: Fewer potato chips. Less sugary soda. Safer sex. Tighter restrictions on firearms. More than 30,000 Americans die from gunshots every year. Anyone looking for an epidemic to freak out about can find one right there.

Frank Bruni, who wrote this for The New York Times, has been an Op-Ed columnist there since June 2011. He has written two New York Times best sellers: a memoir, Born Round, that was published by Penguin Press in 2009, and Ambling Into History, a chronicle of George W. Bush’s campaign for the presidency, published by HarperCollins in 2002.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Raise awareness for eating disorders

I

A-11

appreciate the recent article (“Dangerous pressure for perfection,” Generation Next, Oct. 10) for its attempt to inform and raise awareness of eating disorders.

Over the past three years, I facilitated a free support group for adults in recovery, and another for family and friends.

Numerous people suffer, often silently, due to a lack of affordable resources.

There are no residential treatment facilities for eating disorders in New Mexico. It is particularly traumatic for children and adolescents to leave our state to access care.

Family-based treatment, also known as Maudsley, that starts in the home (www.maudsleyparents.org) and is supported by local resources can prevent the need for costly long-distance care.

Residential treatment programs, which charge upward of $1,000 per day, are seldom covered by insurance.

Research demonstrates that early intervention improves the likelihood of full recovery.

I urge medical and behavioral health organizations to step up and offer more services, including groups, for children

Vote no?

I have been listening with interest to the political ads on the radio. I heard one that stated that I should vote no for a legislative candidate, Geoff Rodgers.

I got a sample ballot and looked for a way to vote no for him. The only way I can figure to do this is to fill in the box next to his name. I guess this is the way to do it.

eldom are there surprises at candidate forums.

Canned statements, maybe. Rote answers to hardto-comprehend questions and too many talking points disguised as thought. The days of extemporaneous, one-on-one answers are as extinct as the dinosaur.

Not Tuesday night at the Santa Fe League of Women Voters forum for candidates for the 3rd Congressional District. All three office seekers — Republican Jefferson Byrd, incumbent Democratic Rep. Ben Ray Luján and official write-in Thomas Hook — sat before the small group at the Santa Fe Public Library, ready to expound on their views. Byrd led off with his introductory statement, keeping it brief and to the point. Then he walked out. Finally, a forum surprise.

For Byrd, the issue was one of letting audience members ask questions directly rather than writing questions down, then handing them to a League volunteer for screening before the moderator asks the question. Barring direct questioning, Byrd’s campaign also wanted either to participate in the screening (with a representative from the opponents’ camp) or find out the political affiliation of screeners.

“Our campaign believes in transparency and the intellectual capabilities of the electorate,” he read. “Because we trust you to be able to conduct yourselves appropriately in a venue such as this, and we have seen the need to be able to interact with you without the censorship being exercised, we are withdrawing from this forum.”

Most of all, he concluded, “We are interested in an unfiltered exchange.”

While we sympathize with Byrd’s position that a more open discussion is a better approach at a forum — it certainly would be more fun for the audience — we also take issue with a candidate agreeing to appear and then pulling out so abruptly. What’s more, the questions that followed after Byrd’s departure were substantive and designed to show what candidates knew, not to trap anyone in a gotcha.

Luján and Hook discussed college costs, relations with Cuba, federal spending, immigration reform and other issues that make a difference in people’s lives.

Walking out was rude to the League of Women Voters, a group that works tirelessly to present issues and candidates in a thorough, nonpartisan manner. Most of all, it was rude to voters who showed up, expecting to hear all the candidates, only to see one walk out the door. (Byrd did participate in a two-person debate on KOB-TV on Wednesday. It can be viewed online at kob.com.)

For someone who is a decided underdog in the race — the 3rd Congressional District is heavily Democratic — we think Byrd would be better served to talk to voters, whatever the circumstances. Why not take a chance that an honest, conservative answer can change minds and win votes?

We do think, though, that more relaxed rules would improve forums for voters and candidates alike. We don’t see anything wrong with voters asking questions directly, and most of all, we’d like at least a 10-minute segment where the candidates talk directly to each other. Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas made entertainment out of political discourse, debating each other seven times in 1858. Lincoln lost the election (Douglas, a Democrat was re-elected to the U.S. Senate) but won attention as an eloquent speaker and thinker.

Until that happens, voters need to see candidates in any and all settings. Byrd missed an opportunity by walking out.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Oct. 16, 1914: The total number of automobiles registered in New Mexico now is but little behind the number registered in Arizona, despite the claims of the sister state to more and better roads and greater wealth than New Mexico has. The number registered up to date is 1,996. Last year there were but 1,397 registered. Arizona’s registration is in the lower 3,000 group.

Oct. 16, 1964: Tierra Amarilla — District Judge Paul Tackett of Albuquerque permanently enjoined the “Corporation of Abiquiú” from any further efforts to evict property owners from the halfmillion-acre Tierra Amarilla land grant. Tackett’s order prohibited the “corporation” from giving any further eviction notices, evicting or threatening or going onto the property of property owners, issuing or collecting fees for hunting and fishing licenses, patrolling private lands within the grant and giving unlawful authority to its members.

Newsmakers Neil Patrick Harris set to host Oscars in 2015

Neil Patrick Harris

LOS ANGELES — Neil Patrick Harris is going for an awards-show trifecta, set to host the 2015 Oscars after four hosting stints at Broadway’s Tony Awards and two at TV’s Primetime Emmy Awards.

“To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true,” Harris said in a statement Wednesday released by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The Tony Awards telecast won Emmys all four years that Harris, 41, hosted and helped produce the program.

It’s been a busy week for the Albuquerque native, the multi-hyphenate star, who released his book, Neil Patrick Harris: Choose Your Own Autobiography, on Tuesday. He also appears in the nation’s top movie, Gone Girl.

He wrapped his hit series How I Met Your Mother earlier this year and won a Tony Award for his starring role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

The 87th Academy Awards are set for Feb. 22 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

BASEBALL ALCS: ROYALS 2, ORIOLES 1

Royals sweep Orioles, head to World Series

By Dave Skretta The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — James Shields led thousands of fans in a celebratory chant. Lorenzo Cain pranced along the warning track, cradling his newborn son. Ned Yost finally allowed himself to smile.

After nearly three decades spent as one of the game’s biggest laughingstocks, the Kansas City Royals are once again baseball royalty.

They are headed to their first World Series since 1985, finishing a four-game sweep in the AL Championship Series with a 2-1 victory Wednesday over the Baltimore Orioles.

INSIDE u Giants beat Cardinals 6-4, move one win from Series. PAGE B-4

In a perfect postseason, the Royals are intent to relish every moment.

“It’s hard to explain,” said Cain, whose clutch hits and dramatic catches earned him the series MVP award. “We’re clicking at the right moment right now.”

There’s no doubt about that.

Now, the Royals will carry an 11-game playoff win streak into the World Series, one shy of the major league record. That includes their first eight this season, something that had never been done in post-

season history. Kansas City beat Oakland in a 12-inning wild-card thriller to start things off, then swept the Los Angeles Angels in the Divisional Series.

Kansas City will open its first World Series since 1985 on Tuesday against the winner of the NLCS between the Giants and Cardinals. San Francisco leads that series 3-1.

Coincidentally, it was the Cardinals who the Royals beat for their only World Series title.

“It’s been an amazing run,” Royals outfielder Alex Gordon said.

“It’s nothing better than when you win. Today, same old story: good

Kansas City Royals’ Salvador Perez and Eric Hosmer celebrate after the Royals defeated the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals advance to the World Series.

Lady Panthers try to forge ahead after coach retires to care for ailing son

assie CdeBaca did everything she could not to glance at Leonard Velasquez, because looking at her head volleyball coach at Pecos would make her cry.

Not that her act did anything to stop it.

It was a moment brought on by unforseen and unfortunate circumstances that no Lady Panther — nor Velasquez himself — could have envisioned when Velasquez started what he called his final season coaching at Pecos and spilled onto the volleyball court in Louis G. Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium on Oct. 9.

Velasquez was coaching his final match as the Lady Panthers’ head coach, as he retired the next day so that he could tend to his son, Santa Rosa senior Isaac Velasquez, who was diagnosed in September with stomach cancer.

So, as Pecos pulled itself out of a 2-games-to-nothing hole to win in five, the emotions of CdeBaca, fellow seniors Ida Valencia and Jeanine Montoya as well as the rest of the Lady Panthers sidelines spilled over the wall they had built to avoid this moment. And it crested right at match point, with tears in everybody’s eyes as Velasquez’s Lady Panthers pulled out a 21-25, 18-25 25-19, 25-23, 15-9 win that was the fitting going-away present.

“Coach was just sitting there,” Valencia said of her now former head coach. “I mean, he was there, but he was zoned out.”

“We knew what was going through his head,” added CdeBaca.

“And he knew what was going through ours,” Montoya chimed.

It was the goodbye nobody wanted, but it was happening. For the three seniors who have played under Velasquez, whether it was on the softball field or the volleyball court, they knew they leaving the roost of their adopted father. Velasquez felt much the same way.

LAS VEGAS, N.M. — There were a lot of new faces on the New Mexico Highlands University men’s basketball team at its first official practice Wednesday, but one pair with New Mexico ties is reunited.

Before former University of New Mexico men’s basketball assistant coach Craig Snow accepted the job to be the head coach for the Cowboys Craig Snow in the summer, he coached high school and Amateur Athletic Union basketball in Albuquerque.

In 2011, he coached 2012 Las Vegas Robertson graduate Justin Bustos on his AAU club. Bustos, now a redshirt sophomore at NMHU, is one of only three players returning to the program.

Cowboys’ young blockers pick no-name over nickname The Associated Press

IRVING, Texas — Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Zack Martin are 23-year-old first-round draft picks anchoring the Dallas offensive line for NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray.

That has to mean there’s a nickname coming, right?

“I hope not,” says Frederick. “I hate nicknames.”

And there’s the essence of a young group that could form the core of the Cowboys’ offense for years. The closest thing to Hollywood in this bunch

is that Smith looks the part of a comic book hero at 6-foot-5, 320 pounds and he grew up in the Los Angeles area.

Otherwise, these are men of few words — unless you get Frederick talking about math or engineering — who live by the manta that you’re doing your job when nobody says your name.

“They are old-school offensive linemen,” coach Jason Garrett said. “They don’t say a whole lot. They go out and do their job. They do it the right way.”

Smith was Garrett’s first draft pick as coach in 2011, a 20-year-old from

PRETORIA, South Africa — Reeva Steenkamp’s cousin sobbed while testifying Wednesday how she first heard on a car radio that Oscar Pistorius had killed his girlfriend.

Kim Martin said she had “hoped to God” that Pistorius was cheating on her cousin and that the young woman he had shot at his home was not Reeva.

“They hadn’t confirmed the name, they said his girlfriend,” Martin recalled of the early-morning news broadcast. “I was trying to phone her [Reeva] and she wasn’t answering and I was screaming at my husband.”

Martin, who said she was close to Steenkamp, went to her mother’s house where she learned her cousin had been killed by the Olympic athlete.

“The doors opened and my mother was hysterical and that’s when I knew it was true,” Martin said. “That

Pistorius: Judge has wide latitude in setting athlete’s punishment Continued from Page B-1 was for me the end of the world. Everything was just a blur from then onwards.”

The emotional testimony during Pistorius’ sentencing hearing caused the judge to rule a brief adjournment when Martin began crying. Her testimony dealt in detail for the first time at the months-long trial with the life of Steenkamp, a 29-yearold model and law graduate, and the impact her Valentine’s Day killing had on her family.

“We were all, ‘why, why, why Reeva?’ ” Martin said. She said Steenkamp’s killing “ruined our whole family.”

Steenkamp was shot multiple

times by Pistorius through a toilet cubicle door in his home in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14, 2013. The runner was found guilty of culpable homicide for negligently killing her, but acquitted of murder after claiming he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder.

Martin was the first witness called by prosecutors for sentencing and the first relative of Steenkamp to give testimony in the case. Martin said she wanted to be “Reeva’s voice” after Steenkamp’s parents, Barry and June, decided they were too emotional to testify.

As Martin told of the moments she first learned Steenkamp was dead, Pistorius

hunched forward in the courtroom and put his hands over his face. Steenkamps’ parents, who have attended much of the trial, appeared to be crying.

Judge Thokozile Masipa will decide Pistorius’ punishment and has wide latitude. The judge could order the former star athlete to pay a fine and go under house arrest, or she could send him to prison for up to 15 years.

Pistorius’ lawyers have argued for a correctional supervision sentence with periods of house arrest. Social workers testifying for the defense recommended he not be sent to prison, partly because of his disability as a double amputee.

Prosecutors reject that and

insist that Pistorius, 27, should go to jail, saying his negligent actions on the night he shot Steenkamp with his 9 mm pistol have left a “broken family.”

Steenkamp’s mother June was on medication after the killing and father Barry sat in a corner of his house crying, Martin testified. Martin said that she is receiving trauma counseling and her children need therapy.

Steenkamp’s parents said in a statement earlier Wednesday that the death of their daughter — who had helped them with money — had left them in financial difficulties and their lawyer resorted to approaching Pistorius for help.

Reeva Steenkamp’s father, Barry Steenkamp, right, cries Wednesday as he is comforted by his wife, June, as they listen to sentencing proceedings for Oscar Pistorius at court in Pretoria, South Africa. ANTOINE DE RAS/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Española Valley sweeps Bernalillo SCOREBOARD The New Mexican

There is something about playing at Bernalillo High School that drives coaches crazy.

Española Valley dealt with that on Wednesday night, but Española 3 pulled out a tougherthan-expected 25-22, Bernalillo 0 25-21, 25-20 sweep of the Lady Spartans in District 2AAAAA volleyball.

While the Lady Sundevils (13-2 overall, 4-0 2AAAAA) were in control for the most part, head coach Damon Salazar felt Bernalillo made his team work for almost every point.

“They played really tough defense and got the ball back over quite a bit,” Salazar said. “They played tough [Wednesday], and their hitters got up and hit some balls.

They pushed us quite a bit, but it was a good battle.”

The one-two hitting duo of Kaitlyn Romero and Elana Salazar led the way with 18 and 15 kills each, while Salazar had 14 digs and a pair of aces. Coach Salazar also put in sophomore Esperanza Maez to set and she collected 10 assists and six service points in Game 3.

Damon Salazar felt the Lady Spartans gave Española a peek at what it can expect come state tournament time.

“We had to take three or four swings to get a point, so that was really good,” Salazar said. “That is something we’re going to see a lot at state. People are going to be able to dig and pick up balls and get the ball back over.”

Española will hold its own tournament Saturday, with Hatch Valley, Albuquerque Hope Christian, Aztec, Pojoaque Valley and West Las Vegas taking part in the sixteam tournament. Teams will have five rounds of pool play then will face off for

fifth, third and first place depending on their record.

ON THE AIR

ST. MICHAEL’S 10, MONTE DEL SOL 0 The Lady Horsemen have shown their 2A-AAAA foes no mercy this season.

They collected their fifth-straight 10-goal mercy rule win as they easily dispatched the Lady Dragons at the Municipal Recreation Complex.

Monse Camarena had a had trick and an assist to lead the while, while Isabel Chavez had two goals to lead the way for St. Michael’s (15-2, 9-0), which also got single scores from Adriana Camarena, Cristiana Gabaldon, Tiana Baca, Maya Chavez and Nique Enloe.

The Lady Horsemen have outscored district opponents 68-1 this season, with just one match left against Academy for Technology and the Classics.

Pecos: Players support their new coach Continued from Page B-1 “They are like my daughters,” said coach Velasquez from an Albuquerque hospital as his son went through another round of chemotherapy treatments, “and I miss them right now. But there are other things right now. All this has done is put everything in perspective.”

Suddenly, volleyball seems so trivial, but it’s also a cold, hard fact that life goes on. So it does for the Lady Panthers, who soldier on with a new coach — junior varsity coach Jolene Ortiz — but the same goal to reach the Class AAA State Tournament. Only Valencia has seen the floor of the Santa Ana Star Center, when she was a precocious eighth-grader as Pecos lost in the opening round to Estancia.

This was supposed to be The Year. It was the moment Velasquez had been building up to when he took over the program in 2013, with Ortiz as his coachin-waiting. Everything was going as planned with the Lady Panthers going 4-1 to start the year, but that’s when the story took a drastic turn.

Isaac Velasquez, a senior running back and linebacker

on the Santa Rosa football team, felt lingering pain in his stomach, and it took a trio of doctors to examine him before the diagnosis of cancer was confirmed. Leonard Velasquez, who has lived in Pecos during the week since he became a coach and athletic coordinator at the school in 2011, didn’t waste any time in taking time off to help take care of his son, and it was Ortiz’s job to keep the program moving forward.

She kept her head coach engaged with the daily workings of the program over the next few weeks, but while she followed Leonard Velasquez’s blueprint, there were things she saw that he didn’t.

“We went with his lineup, and I made sure we did everything that he wanted,” Ortiz said. “On my end, I would see certain things and want to make a change, but I wanted to respect his values. So I think that was the most difficult thing — not knowing how much I could do with the girls.”

Leonard Velasquez, though, valued the eyes and knowledge of Ortiz, a 2008 Pecos graduate who played basketball and volleyball.

“She’s a pretty good learner

and a pretty good student of the game,” Leonard Velasquez said. “As I took some time off, she implemented new drills and and different things that she felt the girls might need or would help them get a little better. My main focus has always been to groom her for the head volleyball job. She is young enough and has the energy and the desire and patience where she could eventually become a great coach.”

Still, the team struggled through a six-match losing streak that ended when Leonard Velasquez returned Sept. 29 and turned into four straight wins. CdeBaca said it was tough to maintain focus on volleyball with the Velasquez family’s ordeal in the back of their heads because of the bond they had with Leonard.

“He knew when we were having a bad day from the instant look on our faces,” CdeBaca said. “Just like we knew he was in a bad mood just from seeing him throughout the day.”

Even when he came back, there was a sense that his return wasn’t permanent. Leonard Velasquez hoped he could finish out the season, and took a weekby-week approach to his duties.

However, even his players knew that his place was elsewhere.

“We all knew the right thing to do was be with his family,” Valencia said. “We told him that it was better that he should be with his boy.”

Still, parting was sorrowful for everyone involved. However, Ortiz and the three seniors recognize that this is Ortiz’s team now, and have thrown their support behind her.

“She’s our motivator,” Montoya said. “She’s our heart, and she pushes us every day.”

Their first step together, though, was a frustrating one as the Lady Panthers played inconsistently against District 2AAA foe Desert Academy on Tuesday and lost in five games.

“As a result of that, coach knows what we have to work on and we know what we have to work on, too,” Valencia said.

“We got to be better motivators. We can’t crawl into that hole to where it’s hard to get ourselves out of.”

Yet, after everything the Lady Panthers have endured this season, they’ve learned to look forward.

Because looking at what is around them might only lead to tears.

VOLLEYBALL NOTEBOOK

Despite losses, SFHS ranks ninth in AAAAAA

By James Barron The New Mexican

While the Freeman Rankings on maxpreps.com are a tool the New Mexico Activities Association uses as a part of its seeding and selection process, it was hard to get a full picture of the state volleyball landscape for the first five weeks of the season.

With the rankings dependent upon the number of matches teams played, many times the rankings were incomplete because schools did not fulfill the minimum requirements. That has changed over the past two weeks, and the postseason picture looks a bit clearer.

One bit of a surprise is that, despite a six-match losing streak, Santa Fe High sits ninth in the Class AAAAAA rankings (although Tuesday’s loss to Albuquerque Cibola is not counted in the rankings). The Demonettes are benefiting from a tough schedule.

While it helps to have three of its District 1AAAAAA foes ranked in the Top 10 (Rio Rancho, Rio Rancho Cleveland and

Albuquerque Cibola), Santa Fe High also faced some tough nondistrict teams. It can count on wins over Valencia (No. 28 in the Freeman Rankings) and Texico (12th) and a loss to the top-ranked team in the state, Piedra Vista, to help its standing.

Also factoring into a higher ranking is that, of the Demonettes’ seven losses, six have come to teams ranked in the top 15 overall. Only the three-game sweep to Albuquerque Volcano Vista (No. 48) tarnishes the luster on the Demonettes’ losses. uuu

If Española Valley can roll through District 2AAAAA play, it can expect at least a top-four seed come state tournament time.

The Lady Sundevils are the No. 9 team overall and third among AAAAA schools.

At 13-2, Española has yet to lose to a AAAAA schools this season. In fact, its only losses are to two AAAA programs — Ruidoso and Albuquerque Hope Christian. The Lady Sundevils got a measure of revenge against the Lady Huskies at the Rio Rancho VolleyBash, sweeping them to

take the bronze bracket title. uuu

Speaking off AAAA, it might be a lean year for the area schools. West Las Vegas is the highest ranked team in the state at No. 6, with fellow 2AAAA member Pojoaque Valley at 11th and 4AAAA school Santa Fe Indian School at No. 13. uuu

Pecos will have its “Dig Pink” match Thursday against Santa Fe Prep, but this event holds a deeper meaning for the team.

The Lady Panthers saw Leonard Velasquez retire last week as he is tending to his son, Santa Rosa senior football player Isaac Velasquez, as he battles cancer. The Velasquez family has received an outpouring of support from schools from all over the state.

“I went to the [Santa Rosa] football game on Friday night,” Leonard Velasquez said, “and Dexter gave [Isaac] some stuff and the Texico coaches, they gave him a lot of stuff from their kids. It’s been crazy.”

Coach: Spent weeks recruiting players Continued from Page B-1 “He told me he was applying for the job, and once he got it he called me,” Bustos said. ”We were excited right away, so it was pretty cool.”

While having a pre-existing history with the only returning player to have started at least one game last year (Bustos had five starts and appeared in 20 games), Snow had 17 roster spots to fill in less than a month.

He was officially hired on July 7.

He hit the road on July 9.

Snow, 35, struck gold in his home state of Illinois by bringing in eight players from Chicago. While traveling the country, he made sure to recruit

players who can play tenacious defense and guard anyone at their position.

Snow is a defensive-minded coach, and he was looking for talent that would help improve a NMHU team that allowed 84.9 points per game, got outrebounded by a plus-six margin and let opposing teams shoot at least 20 free throws per game.

“Our whole goal is to improve defensively,” Snow said. “I think we have enough talent and we’ll find ways to score, but from the second the ball goes up, we’re going to have pressure defense the entire game. We’ll worry about scoring points when we get the opportunity.”

He believes an emphasis on defense will help a team that

finished last season 11-15 overall and 8-14 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. The Cowboys’ conference record was good for 10th place overall, and that’s exactly where RMAC coaches voted them to finish in the preseason coaches poll released Tuesday.

“That was actually better than I expected,” Snow said.

“Anytime you have a situation where there’s a team with only three players coming back and you have a brand new coach and coaching staff — that to me was a little generous.”

But Snow isn’t so worried about where the team finishes this season, as he is in it for the long haul. He hopes all his new players — mostly transfers

from junior colleges — will set the tone for what he hopes will be a formidable program in the future.

“I think you have to get to a situation where you’re good year-in and year-out,” Snow said. “You have to build a program, and I think that takes time. When you think of Highlands, I don’t want you to think that’s a good basketball team, I want you to think that’s a good program, and that’s the biggest difference.”

Most of those players have never played a game for Snow, but there is one that knows exactly what he demands.

“I know what he expects from his players, so it’s cool,” Bustos said.

Kaepernick’s fine cut in half SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s $11,025 fine from the NFL for what a game official called “inappropriate language” during the 49ers’ loss to the Chicago Bears last month was cut in half Wednesday.

Kaepernick noted that he doesn’t want to say anything more and draw further attention from the league.

Kaepernick has denied any wrongdoing when he and Chicago defensive end Lamarr Houston went at it after a fourthquarter interception.

Kaepernick pointed to Houston’s own comments that the quarterback didn’t say anything offensive or out of line. Kaepernick shoved Houston.

Union spokesman George Atallah tweeted that the union is disappointed that Kaepernick’s fine was not eliminated “given the finding there was no racial slur used.”

Kaepernick also was fined for wearing the pink “Beats by Dre” brand headphones following the 49ers’ win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

BASEBALL NLCS: GIANTS 6, CARDINALS 4

Giants move 1 win from Series

By Janie McCauley The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey and the Giants already know how to win in October — even Giants 6 without all this help Cardinals 4 from the St. Louis Cardinals.

Posey drove in three runs and San Francisco took advantage of some clunky defense by first baseman Matt Adams, beating the Cardinals 6-4 on Wednesday night to move within one victory of the World Series.

Chasing their third title in five years, the Giants lead the best-of-seven NL Championship Series 3-1 after poor throws cost the Cardinals yet again.

October ace Madison Bumgarner can pitch San Francisco to another pennant Thursday night at home in Game 5. Struggling All-Star Adam Wainwright starts for St. Louis, now facing the same daunting deficit the Giants overcame to beat the Cardinals in the 2012 NLCS. Kansas City awaits the winner after completing its ALCS sweep of Baltimore earlier in the day. The wild-card Royals will host Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night.

San Francisco climbed out of an early three-run hole, and back-to-back bad throws

by Adams in the sixth inning helped the Giants rally — one night after a wild toss by St. Louis reliever Randy Choate allowed the winning run to score in the 10th inning.

“I think any time you can put pressure on the defense, you’ve got the opportunity for good things to happen,” Posey said. “We’re able to come up with some big two-out RBIs to get back in the game.”

The Cardinals were clinging to a 4-3 lead when San Francisco put runners at second and third. Playing in with one out, the lumbering Adams backhanded Gregor Blanco’s

bouncer and stumbled as he tried to set himself to throw home.

Adams had trouble with the transfer, and his toss shorthopped catcher Tony Cruz as Juan Perez slid across with the tying run.

Joe Panik then hit a grounder right to Adams, who stepped on first base before firing wildly to second in trying for a double play. Brandon Crawford stopped about halfway between third and home, yet was able to score easily when Adams threw wide of the bag.

Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta came way off the base to catch the ball, but had no play at the plate.

Posey added an RBI single off Seth Maness to make it 6-4.

The star catcher also had a sacrifice fly in the first and a

run-scoring single in the third.

These Giants joke about not needing hits and home runs to win, and they’re showing that with timely bunts, small ball and a few miscues from the opponent. The tying and go-ahead runs came home on balls that didn’t leave the infield.

Yusmeiro Petit pitched three scoreless innings to win in relief of an ineffective Ryan Vogelsong. Petit has been a valuable long man — he delivered six shutout innings in an 18-inning NLDS victory at Washington.

“He’s been really good for us for a long time and he’s finally getting some recognition. What a weapon to have,” Posey said.

Sergio Romo worked the eighth and Santiago Casilla finished for his second save of the series.

A total of six Giants relievers held St. Louis scoreless over the final six innings.

Marco Gonzales took the loss after issuing a leadoff walk to pinch-hitter Perez in the

sixth and giving up a single to Crawford.

“A lot of these innings are set up with good at-bats early in innings,” Giants outfielder Hunter Pence said.

The Giants haven’t homered in six games since Brandon Belt connected in the 18th inning at Washington, but it hasn’t mattered much.

Cardinals rookie Kolten Wong showed off more postseason power, but his solo homer was wasted.

The Cardinals grounded into three double plays that cost them chances to add on to their early 1-0 lead. They turned a couple gems of their own, too, before the blunders.

Vogelsong was the only pitcher in major league history to yield no more than one run in his first five postseason starts, but his streak ended when he gave up four in three innings. San Francisco has still won all six of the postseason games he has started.

SANDOVAL’S STREAK Giants 3B Pablo Sandoval has reached base in 22 straight postseason games dating to Game 4 of the 2012 NLDS on Oct. 12, 2012. That breaks Barry Bonds’ franchise record set from 2002-03. Bonds threw out the ceremonial first pitch Wednesday.

UP NEXT Cardinals: Wainwright believes he has worked out some kinks in his delivery that have kept him from getting out of the fifth in his first two playoff starts this year. He has allowed eight earned runs and 17 hits in nine innings. “I just don’t want to get a bad rap for not being a good playoff pitcher,” Wainwright said.

“That’s the time I want to shine the most.”

Giants: Bumgarner gave up four hits over 7⅔ innings for a 3-0 win in Game 1. He pitched a four-hitter in San Francisco’s 8-0 wild-card win at Pittsburgh before taking the loss in Game 3 of the NLDS against Washington.

NFL

Favre’s record on Manning’s back burner

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Even though he’s just two touchdown throws shy of Brett Favre’s NFL record of 508, Peyton Manning isn’t getting caught up in history, and neither are his teammates.

It’s easy to see why: they’re too busy scything their way through a two-month thicket of opponents that averaged 10.75 wins a year ago.

“We’ve had a pretty salty schedule thus far,” coach John Fox said Wednesday. “And this week is no different.”

The Broncos (4-1) host the San Francisco 49ers (4-2) on Sunday night. Five nights later, the San Diego Chargers (5-1) pay the Broncos a visit.

“Two big games coming up,” Manning said. “That’s plenty to think about.”

The first half of the Bron-

cos’ season features six games against teams that reached the playoffs last year and none of their first eight opponents even had a losing record in 2013.

The 86 wins between those first eight opponents represent the most in Manning’s 17-year career, rivaled only by the strength of schedule in his first season in Denver in 2012.

That year, the Broncos faced a gauntlet of teams over the first half of the season that had won 83 games the year before, or an average of 10.37.

In his other 14 seasons — he missed 2011 in Indy with neck problems — Manning’s opponents over the first half of the season averaged 8.29 wins the year before.

The Broncos are atop the AP Pro32 power rankings despite a plethora of penalties, a propensity to let teams hang around too long and an inability to put together four quar-

ters that either they or their fans could be proud of.

Yet, the stiff competition is undeniably a major reason that half of Denver’s drives have ended with Britton Colquitt punting rather than Brandon McManus kicking extra points.

“We’re the Denver Broncos.

Our team is put in place to not just win, we’re put in place to dominate games. We have not been doing that,” left guard Orlando Franklin said on his radio show on 104.3 The Fan in Denver this week.

It doesn’t get any easier, either.

The Chargers were the only team to win in Denver last season, also on a Thursday night, and the 49ers came within Richard Sherman’s outstretched arms of reaching the Super Bowl, where many observers believe they would have handed the Broncos the same kind of beating the

Seahawks did.

San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh, a bridesmaid in the pursuit of Manning in 2012, added to the din surrounding the five-time MVP and his record-breaking pursuit Wednesday.

“Whenever he takes the field, he’s just great all the time and that speaks volumes for the player that he is and continues to be,” Harbaugh said.

“Just keeps doing it and doing it and doing it. Great. Great with a capital ‘G’ at the highest level.”

Asked Wednesday whether the football world’s focus on his pursuit of Favre’s all-time touchdown mark was flattering or distracting, Manning said, “what I’ve concentrated on is doing whatever it takes to win and I don’t feel like it’s been a distraction because we’ve handled it and we’ve focused on what’s important.”

Cowboys: Murray benefits from protection Continued from Page B-1 Southern California at No. 9 overall. The Cowboys gave him a year at right tackle but believed all along he was the future at the marquee spot, left tackle, and just proved it by locking him up with the franchise’s second $100 million contract after Tony Romo.

Frederick, the center, followed two years later near the end of the first round when the Cowboys traded down. Martin was the last of the three first-round picks this year after Dallas decided to keep the selection as everyone wondered whether owner Jerry Jones would grab the freefalling Johnny Manziel.

All three have started from the moment they walked into team headquarters, with the assumption always being the Cowboys were trying to make life easier on Romo. Jones said following the Frederick pick that the team was trying to buy their often-banged up quarterback an “extra half a second.”

Turns out Murray is reaping the most benefits, with a chance Sunday against the New York Giants (3-3) to become the first

back with seven straight 100-yard games to start the season and a nearly 250-yard lead in the rushing race with 785 yards. He also leads all running backs with six touchdowns, a big reason for Dallas’ 5-1 start.

“Those are good guys,” said Murray, who says he takes care of his linemen but hasn’t added the downfield-blocking receivers and tight ends to his payroll yet.

“If I was making Romo’s money I would,” Murray said. “But I’m concentrating on the five guys right now. I appreciate the other guys, but I’m concentrating on the big fellas right now.”

He hangs out with them — a bit.

“I wouldn’t say all the time because fat guys like to hang out with other fat guys,” Frederick said. “Skinny guys don’t like hanging out with us too much. We eat too much. But he does a good job of making a point of being friendly and hanging out with us and making sure we know he cares.”

And those “fat guys” do enjoy their time together. During training camp, their entrances looked choreographed

— marching side by side, or just a few steps apart, even with the same pace and straight-ahead glare. But Martin, the right guard, says they weren’t.

Mostly, they hang out because that’s what offensive linemen do — and the bond goes beyond the young trio. Ron Leary, a 25-year-old undrafted free agent in this third year, starts at left guard.

The younger blockers are about to find out what life will be like without Doug Free, the 30-year-old right tackle who’s expected to miss up to a month with a broken right foot sustained in the surprising win over Super Bowl champion Seattle last weekend. In updating Free’s injury status on his radio show this week, Jones called Free the “daddy” of the offensive line.

And that also gets to Frederick’s point about nicknames.

“The three of us can’t do anything,” he said. “It’s a five-position group and usually you have to count at least a backup tackle if not two. It really has to do with a group as a whole and so I don’t think there should be any attention paid to that.”

Royals: Series begins Tuesday Continued from Page B-1 pitching, good defense and scratch out a win.”

Same old story for the Orioles, too: Solid pitching, good defense — and just not enough offense. They managed seven hits over the last two games against Kansas City, resulting in the first sweep for the franchise in 21 postseason series.

“You saw how close the games were,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.

“It’s more a testament to what they did. They were playing great defensively.”

After holding the Orioles to three hits in Game 3, Jason Vargas and the Royals bullpen held them to four hits Wednesday night. Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis got the game to Greg Holland, who matched Dennis Eckersley’s record with his fourth save of the best-of-seven series.

Holland got J.J. Hardy to ground out to third base for the final out, and the Royals spilled onto the infield in a wild celebration. Fireworks shot over the crown-shaped scoreboard in center field, and a blue-clad sellout crowd that included Royals greats George Brett and Brett Saberhagen let out a roar while cars on nearby Interstate 70 honked their horns.

“That’s what you dream of as a kid,” Holland said.

“Punch your ticket to the World Series, especially before your home crowd.

These fans have been waiting a long time. They deserve it.”

The Orioles, meanwhile, will limp into the offseason after a 96-win season in which they overcame injuries and suspensions to several key players along the way.

“I think it’s not what we didn’t do. It’s more what they did,” said the Orioles’ Ryan Flaherty, whose home run represented their lone run.

Making his first start in nearly two weeks, Vargas shut down the vaunted Orioles

lineup in Game 4. The only damage he allowed came in the third inning, when Flaherty went deep.

By that point, the Royals had already manufactured a pair of runs.

Alcides Escobar singled off Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez to open the game, and Nori Aoki was drilled on the right knee a couple pitches later. Yost then opted to bunt with Cain, one of his hottest hitters, to advance both of the runners.

It was a questionable decision so early in the game. But like almost every unorthodox move that Yost has made, it worked out perfectly — for the first sacrifice of Cain’s career.

Eric Hosmer followed with a chopping groundball, and first baseman Steve Pearce went home with it. Escobar slid safely and the ball bounded away from catcher Caleb Joseph, allowing Aoki to follow his teammate home and giving the scrappy, smallball Royals a 2-0 lead.

After that, it was up to their defense and bullpen.

Escobar turned a pair of double plays early in the game to help Vargas escape jams, and Gordon made a spectacular catch while crashing into the left-field wall to rob Hardy of extra bases leading off the fifth inning. In the sixth, second baseman Omar Infante was in perfect position to snag Nelson Cruz’s line drive and leave runners on the corners.

Herrera breezed through the seventh and Davis handled the eighth, just as they have all season, and Holland slammed the door on his fourth save of the series.

In the midst of it all was Yost, the often-criticized Royals manager who has guided a collection of budding young stars to baseball’s grandest stage. In doing so, Yost became the first manager in major league history to win his first eight postseason games.

Jets hope to turn season around with upset of Pats

By Howard Ulman The Associated Press

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots turned their season around in plenty of time.

It’s probably too late for the New York Jets, especially if they drop their sixth straight game when they visit the heavily favored Patriots on Thursday night.

“We’re desperate, to say the least,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said.

The Patriots (4-2) quickly recovered from their low point, a 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that unleashed speculation quarterback Tom Brady was slipping and coach Bill Belichick’s genius was fading.

Unlike the Jets (1-5), that slide lasted just one week. A 43-17 rout of the NFL’s last unbeaten team, the Cincinnati Bengals, took care of that.

And they followed it with a 37-22 road win over the Buffalo Bills.

“We’ll have to keep perspective,” Brady said, “not ride the highs and lows, because there’s a lot of them.”

The Patriots had just five offensive touchdowns in a stretch of 14 quarters, then scored seven in the last eight.

Against Buffalo, Brady had his best game of the season with 361 yards passing, four touchdown passes and completions to 10 receivers.

Ryan certainly didn’t believe the criticism of the two-time MVP. “That was hysterical,” he said. “You know what I mean?

It’s like, ‘Yeah, really? OK.’ I mean, come on.”

Now if he could only brush off criticism of his own quarterback so easily.

TODAY ON TV Thursday Night Football 6:25 p.m. on CBS/NFL — N.Y. Jets at New England

Geno Smith is last in passer rating in the league and was replaced in the fifth game

by Michael Vick, who said he wasn’t prepared. Smith started last Sunday’s 31-17 loss to the Denver Broncos and Ryan is sticking with him against the Patriots.

“We have an opportunity here to kind of right the ship with our first division game,” Smith said. “There is a shot. It’s definitely one that’s a stretch, but as long as we’ve got a shot, we’ve got an opportunity.”

The first-place Patriots have a big edge over their last-place AFC East rival.

Brady has won 40 consecutive regular-season home games against AFC opponents and is 6-0 in Thursday night games. And a New England defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest yards in the NFL goes against an offense that has gained the third fewest.

The Jets rushed for just 31 yards against Denver, but the Patriots are wary of the potential of running backs Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson.

“They’re a big part of their offense,” Patriots safety Devin McCourty said, not necessarily a good thing considering how the offense has struggled. “When you have two guys like that, it makes it tough to stop the running game.”

FOR THE BIRDS

Ground feeding: A great way to attract more birds

Deep enough to fit the Washington Monument and large enough to fit 20 football fields and more than 2 million fans, Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona is about 300 miles west of Albuquerque off Interstate 40. PHOTOS BY WILL WEBBER/THE NEW MEXICAN

High impact sightseeing Meteor Crater, a great big hole in the ground, is well worth the trip

By Will Webber The New Mexican

METEOR CRATER, Ariz. h, to have been an astronomer perched atop the San Francisco Peaks outside Flagstaff, Ariz., about 50,000 years ago.

On one side you’d have a view of the Grand Canyon, an untouched ribbon of majestic beauty still being carved into the landscape by what was then an untamed Colorado River.

On the other, you’d be able to spin your telescope to the rocky plains 37 miles to the east and see one of the most amazing one-timers the Earth has seen since humans began walking upright.

There, on the flatlands that were inhabited at the time by woolly mammoths and giant ground sloths, a huge ball of light sliced through the upper atmosphere and impacted the ground at 26,000 miles per hour.

The 150-foot-wide chunk of ironnickel instantly carved out what is still the planet’s most well-preserved meteor impact site, forever changing what had been miles and miles of featureless terrain. The flash of light, the shockwave, the excavation of millions of cubic yards of crust all in a matter of seconds — it’s almost impossible to imagine.

Today it is known simply as Meteor Crater, a place scientists have studied for years and NASA has used to train astronauts for moon missions.

The rim of the crater is about 150 feet above ground level, making it about a 700-foot drop into the bottom of the bowl-shaped depression.

The hole itself spans about 4,000 feet.

Scattered along the rim are housesized slabs of rock that once formed massive layers of sandstone and limestone hidden beneath the surface.

There are guided tours that take visitors along the rim and then there’s the self-guided walks along paved paths near the visitor’s center.

Most of the crater is off limits, but don’t feel cheated — it’s safe to say that the circular shape is going to look the same from pretty much any vantage point along the rim.

O

In brief Game and Fish to set up roadblocks The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish will set up several roadblocks throughout the state during various hunting seasons to collect harvest data and to detect wildlife law violations.

Weighing 1,400 pounds, this fragment of the Holsinger Meteorite is the largest piece of the 150-foot-wide meteor that impacted Northern Arizona’s flat, rocky plain about 50,000 years ago.

The visitor’s center has seen serious upgrades over the years, with the construction of a modern museum with interactive exhibits and a movie theater that shows a 10-minute clip of how the crater was formed, complete with rumbling sound effects and dazzling computer animation.

Sitting at the entrance to the museum is the pockmarked Holsinger Meteorite, a fragment from the original meteor that pierced the planet’s protective atmosphere and excavated the crater. About the size of a full-grown German shepherd, it’s the largest surviving piece of the source of that giant hole sitting right outside.

“Can you guess how much it weighs?” asks a museum employee, standing sentinel in his embroidered navy blue golf shirt behind a counter just a few feet away. “Go ahead. No one ever gets it right.”

“About 500 pounds,” says an older woman wandering by.

In a skit that he’s undoubtedly polished during countless interactions just like this, the man smiles and casually slips out from behind the counter while falling into a minutelong explanation of how much the fragment weighs (just over 1,400 pounds) and what happened to the rest of it.

Outside in the main greeting area is a space-junkie’s hot spot. A curved brick enclosure houses the American Astronaut Wall of Fame, a wall that lists dozens of space heroes past and present. Not far away is a test capsule similar to those used during the moon missions, plus dozens of photographs depicting the biggest names in space travel and their ties to Meteor Crater.

Getting to the crater from Santa Fe isn’t all that tough. While Northern New Mexico has dozens of day-trip destinations that are far closer, a trek here isn’t out of the question. From Albuquerque it’s 300 miles west on Interstate 40 — or about four hours.

There are the usual drawbacks to the drive. Gas, for whatever reason, is considerably higher in Arizona these days; roughly 30 to 45 cents per gallon higher than what you’d find in the Santa Fe-Albuquerque corridor.

And if it’s an escape from the barren desert terrain you’re looking for, this isn’t the drive for you. Aside from the time change (Arizona is currently an hour behind New Mexico), there’s not much that distinguishes this part of Arizona from most of our surrounding landscape.

If the crater doesn’t do it for you, some of the nearby attractions might. The Grand Canyon is about

Hunting seasons are ongoing for deer, elk, pronghorns, bears and some other species as listed in the department’s Hunting Rules & Information booklets. Visit the department’s website at www.wildlife.state. nm.us.

Conservation officers also will check for compliance with the Off Highway Motor Vehicle Act and the Aquatic Invasive Species Control Act. Once a driver encounters a roadblock, any vehicles hauling

wood will be asked to produce documentation as required by the Forest Conservation Act. The public is advised that minor delays may be encountered.

Sipapu preps for its early opening Sipapu Ski Resort officially began snowmaking operations early Tuesday morning.

Signs like these are posted along the road leading from Interstate 40 to Meteor Crater, Ariz. The meteor impacted at a speed that would allow it to travel from New York City to Los Angeles in less than five minutes.

IF YOU GO What: Meteor Crater Where: Northern Arizona, 37 miles east of Flagstaff, Ariz., just off Interstate 40 Travel: From Santa Fe, it’s about a 365-mile trip (about five hours) each way Cost: $18 for adults, $9 for kids, free for children 5 and under Availability: Open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed on Christmas Day)

two hours away, but just a few miles down the road is the Apache Death Cave. The name pretty much says it all, but it’s a must-see, according to the aforementioned museum employee if, for no other reason, the creepiness factor sets it apart from just about everything else.

The low-hanging roof is home to bats, and the legend of how the place got its name — the fire-related death of Apache warriors at the hands of Navajos seeking vengeance — makes it spooky as soon as you escape the desert daylight. Every noise is amplified with the thought of Native spirits still seeking escape.

At worst, a trip to Meteor Crater and the surrounding area is a moderate drive through hundreds of miles of high-desert landscapes. At best, it’s a trip into the past thanks to a healthy dose of science and history.

As has been the case the last several years, the ski resort is hoping to be up and running for the ski season before anyone else. The tentative start date this year is Nov. 15. Most other resorts in Northern New Mexico wait until Thanksgiving or later.

To that end, the resort is also hiring several full- and part-time positions for the ski season.

round feeding is often an afterthought for those of us who feed the birds.

The seed that gets kicked out of one’s feeder, usually millet, is all the ground feeding most folks do. Even with such little effort, it’s common to see juncos and towhees feasting on the millet that ends up underneath feeders.

This time of year, ground feeding can really pay off. Juncos are returning to spend the winter. Migrating sparrows, like the white-crowned sparrow, are coming through town and quail families are looking for a steady source of food. Both the canyon towhee and spotted towhee are common ground feeders and their cousin the greentailed towhee can be seen migrating south in the fall. Even the large, raucous curve-billed thrasher will show up at your ground feeding station. All of these birds, and more, love to feed on the ground.

Here are some tips to bring more ground feeding birds to your backyard: u Add a ground feeding block. Often called a quail block, you don’t need to have quail to benefit from one of these bird blocks. Look for a block made mostly of millet, with some cracked corn and black-oil sunflower. Most ground blocks have lots of milo, which quail eat, but most other birds do not.

Blocks range in size from around 6 to 25 pounds. For most in-town yards, I recommend a smaller, high quality block. Blocks last a relatively long time. We’ve had many reports of common ground feeders like juncos and towhees eating ground blocks, but jays and woodpeckers sometimes make an appearance too. Ground blocks can be placed directly on the ground, but placing them on a stump or ground feeding tray might protect them a bit from moisture on the ground. Rabbits sometimes also discover ground feeding blocks. u Add a ground feeding tray. Ground trays often have short legs which lift them off of the ground. Ground feeding birds like juncos don’t mind making the short trip up to a tray. Almost any bird food can be fed from a ground tray — they welcome all birds. Placing a ground feeding block in a tray works well, as does feeding loose seed like white millet or a ground feeding mix.

Once birds have found your ground feeding tray, try adding some dried mealworms to your offerings or even peanuts or suet nuggets. By offering a wide variety of foods you can attract a wider variety of birds, like woodpeckers and thrashers. u Place your bird block or ground feeding tray where you can easily see it. One of the best things about ground feeding is that you can see the birds easily. Nothing blocks your view. Seed blocks and ground trays are open and easy to see. Place them somewhat close to vegetation but out in the open enough for you to easily watch the birds. The openness of a ground tray or bird block not only makes it easy for us to see the birds, it makes it easy for the birds to find the food. Birds find food by sight, so an open tray or block is quickly found. u The most common and simplest way to feed ground feeding birds is to simply toss some ground feeding mix (plenty of millet) out onto the ground.

Toss it where you can easily see the birds. In the winter, it’s helpful to toss seed onto a cleared patio or cleared spot in your yard. If seed sinks into snow, it’s hard for them to locate.

Anne Schmauss is the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Santa Fe, and she loves to hear your bird stories. She and her sisters wrote For the Birds: A Month

by Month Guide to Attracting Birds to Your Backyard, and her new book, Birdhouses of the World, came out last spring.

We are Thor (white) and Dharma (red),

a pair of sweethearts looking for a new home. We are very playful and love toys as well as other dogs. Our owner Jeff Braucht recently lost his battle with cancer and his final wish for them was that they find a new loving home.

We take a bit of time to warm up to new people, but we are great cuddlers once we do. We are a matched set and must be adopted together! If you are interested in adopting us, please inquire at Santa Fe Tails. We are looking forward to falling in love with you.
