Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gary King has received more than $35,000 in campaign contributions from an address in

the U.S. Virgin Islands that also is listed as the address of a convicted sex offender who years ago bought property in Stanley from King’s family.

Jeffrey Epstein, 61, is listed in the New York state sex offender registry as residing at 6100 Red Hook Quarter B3, St. Thomas Virgin Islands. He was convicted in 2008 of soliciting sex from girls as young as 14. Police said Epstein had sex with five teenagers he hired to give him massages at his Florida home.

More than $30,000 in contri-

butions listed in King’s latest campaign finance report, filed Monday, came from several businesses using Epstein’s address.

These include $10,200 from JEGE LLC; $5,200 from Maple Inc.; and $5,000 each from FT Real Estate, Laurel Inc. and Nautilus Inc. Earlier this year, King received

Briner, CEO of Taos Ski Valley Inc., said the new lift will re-establish Taos as a major ski area in North America.

“This one of the most significant projects in skiing for this coming season,” Briner said. “The terrain opened is unparalleled in North America.

The terminus of the new lift is also only a five-minute walk from the peak, a mystical site draped in prayer flags.

Voters in Santa Fe County might get to weigh in on decriminalizing marijuana.

County Commissioner Liz Stefanics wants to put an advisory question on the November general election ballot asking voters whether county commissioners should support efforts to reduce penalties for possessing an ounce or less of marijuana.

The ballot question, which commissioners are expected to consider at their 2 p.m. Tuesday meeting, would be nonbinding. While it wouldn’t change the law even if it were to appear on the ballot and win support from most voters, it could shape policy at the county level.

The Santa Fe City Council already has voted to give police officers the option of issuing an administrative citation into Municipal Court, where the maximum punishment in such cases would be a $25 fine.

The presence of the marijuana issue on the November ballot also could lure younger, more liberalminded voters to the polls in November, possibly aiding Democrats seeking office.

“I think it would attract more young voters, and right now young voters are overwhelmingly supporting Democratic Party policies,”

kiing or boarding off Kachina Peak at Taos Ski Valley used to be for those willing to trudge up a hill for 45 minutes wearing ski boots and carrying equipment.

The payoff included spectacular views of the Spanish Peaks to the north, the Taos Plateau to the west and Wheeler Peak, the highest mountain in New Mexico, to the northeast. Those who made the effort also were rewarded with interesting terrain. And no crowds.

When the ski season opens this fall, both Main Street and the K chutes will be a lot more accessible.

Taos Ski Valley is opening a new fixed-grip lift that will take riders to the top, a vertical rise of 1,100 feet, in about five minutes.

On Sunday, helicopters soared over the valley as they ferried the 11 lift towers to positions on the slope.

The $3 million project is the beginning of a major overhaul at Taos Ski Valley, which has made few improvements to the mountain in the last 20 years. Gordon

Global warming threatening birds Audubon Society says critical ranges shrinking

WASHINGTON — As the world gets warmer, the Baltimore oriole will no longer be found in Maryland. The Mississippi kite will move north, east and pretty much out of its namesake state. And the California gull will mostly be a summer stranger to the Golden State.

Average salary remains far below gains of most economic rebounds

WASHINGTON — The U.S. job market has steadily improved by pretty much every gauge except the one Americans probably care about most: Pay. The unemployment rate has sunk to a nearly normal 6.1 percent.

Employers have added a robust 2.5 million jobs the past 12 months.

Layoffs have tumbled.

Yet most people are still waiting for a decent raise. Friday’s August jobs report confirmed that average hourly pay has crept up only about 2 percent a year since the recession ended five years ago — barely above inflation and far below the gains in most recoveries.

Just why pay has been so weak and when it might strengthen are key issues for the Federal Reserve in deciding when to raise interest rates.

The trend has mystified analysts.

“This is the primary economic and policy puzzle facing policymakers right now: Why have wages remained so low in the face of an improving economy?” said Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at McGladrey,

Stocks fall; oil price drop hits energy sector

In brief

By Ken Sweet

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s parliament officially named Haider al-Abadi the country’s new prime minister late Monday and approved most of his proposed Cabinet amid calls by the Arab League for its members to combat the Sunni militant group violently advancing across Iraq and Syria.

Lawmakers approved all of the candidates proposed for Iraq’s new government, with the exception of a few posts, namely the defense and interior ministers. Al-Abadi requested an additional week to name them.

Outgoing Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and former Speaker of Parliament Osama al-Nujeifi were given the largely ceremonial posts of co-vice president. Kurdish politician and former Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari was named as one of three deputy prime ministers.

NEW YORK — A retreat in oil and energy stocks pulled the rest of the U.S. stock market mostly lower Monday.

Campbell Soup declined after the company said its 2015 profits would miss analysts’ expectations. Yahoo, which owns a stake in Alibaba, jumped in anticipation of the giant Chinese technology company going public.

Energy stocks were by far the biggest drag on the market. The energy component of the S&P 500 fell 1.6 percent, compared to the modest 0.3 percent decline in the main index.

Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest publicly traded oil company, dropped $1.49, or 1.5 percent, to $97.77. It was the biggest loser among the Dow’s 30 members.

The decline in energy stocks was linked to a recent sell-off in the price of oil. Benchmark U.S. crude oil for October delivery fell 63 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $92.66 a barrel, the lowest price since January.

Another international concern for investors is in Europe, where a drive for Scottish independence seems to be gaining momentum.

Stocks in London, particularly those with links to Scotland, fell. Britain’s FTSE 100 index lost 0.3 percent.

Investors also sold the British pound, which fell to lowest level in nearly a year.

s the moon wheels around Earth every 28 days and shows us a progressively greater and then stingier slice of its sun-lightened face, the distance between moon and Earth changes, too. At the nearest point along its eggshaped orbit, its perigee, the moon may be 26,000 miles closer to us than it is at its far point.

And should the moon happen to hit its ever-shifting orbital perigee at the same time that it lies athwart from the sun, we are treated to a so-called supermoon, a full moon that can seem embraceably close — as much as 12 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter than the average full moon.

Go out Tuesday night and gawk for yourself: A supermoon will be dominating the sky. It’s the last of this summer’s impressive run of three supermoons, and the final one of the year.

“I know it goes contrary to the nomenclature currently used,” said David A. Paige, a professor of planetary science at the University of California, Los Angeles, referring to the definition of a planet as [among other things] the dominant gravitational object in its orbit.

“But where I come from, anything that’s big enough to be round is a planet.” Unlike most moons of the solar system, ours has the heft, the gravitational gravitas, to pull itself into a sphere.

new evidence that the moon was born violently, in an act of planetary suicide that left faint but readable fingerprints at the scene.

Another team proposed that the moon’s cataclysmic origins could explain the mysterious lunar features we know as the man in the moon.

One outstanding feature of the moon is its origin. Most of the other moons in the solar system are thought to be celestial passersby that were pulled into a planet’s orbit, or to have formed contemporaneously with their planet from an initial starter disc of dust, gas and rock.

The moon, by contrast, is thought to have a bloodier past.

According to the reigning hypothesis, about 4.5 billion years ago, shortly after Earth had accreted down into a sphere from its little slub of circumsolar material, another newborn planet, still shaky on its feet, slammed obliquely into Earth with terrifying force.

That “giant impactor,” named Theia, who in Greek mythology was mother to the goddess of the moon, is thought to have been roughly the size of Mars and to have been pulverized in the encounter, along with a good chunk of proto-Earth.

u Forecast is for partly cloudy night sky.

From that fiery cloud of all-Theia and part-Earth, the scenario goes, our moon soon condensed.

The impactor hypothesis made sense and comported with computer models, but hard evidence for it proved elusive. If the moon was partly the offspring of a non-Earth body — Theia — there should be chemical fingerprints attesting to the foreign parentage.

Now it looks as if the evidence has arrived. This summer, Daniel Herwartz, a geochemist working at the University of Göttingen in Germany and his colleagues reported in the journal Science that they had detected isotopic ratios of oxygen in lunar rocks that were unlike the forms of oxygen found on Earth.

It is, Herwartz said, “the difference between Earth and moon predicted by the impact theory.”

The researchers stumbled to victory accidentally, he said.

As geochemists, they had developed new techniques for more precisely measuring oxygen isotopes to address Earth-based geological problems.

“When that succeeded,” Herwartz said, “we thought we’d have a look at the moon question again.”

Initial efforts foundered. “NASA doesn’t hand out Apollo samples to everybody,” he said, referring to rocks brought back decades ago by astronauts.

So the scientists first tried to work with meteorite fragments, which proved too disturbed to be useful.

The researchers then persuaded the space agency to hand over a baby aspirin’s worth of pure Apollo rock, and, sure enough, there was Theia’s isotopic thumbprint.

U.S., Britain to help contain Ebola virus MONROVIA, Liberia — The United States and Britain will send medical equipment and military personnel to help contain West Africa’s Ebola outbreak, as the World Health Organization warned Monday that many thousands of new infections are expected in Liberia in the coming weeks.

The current Ebola outbreak is the largest on record. It has spread from Guinea to Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal and killed more than 2,000 people.

So far, more than 3,500 people have been infected, nearly half of them in Liberia. The outbreak has taken a particularly heavy toll on health workers.

Court mulls impact of gay marriage SAN FRANCISCO — A federal appeals court in San Francisco waded again into the debate over the constitutionality of gay marriage, with attorneys for both sides arguing over whether legalizing it would harm children.

The three judges on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals — two of whom have ruled in previous cases in favor of gay rights — reserved many of their most pointed questions at the defenders of state bans in Idaho, Nevada and Hawaii.

Judge Marsha Berzon appeared critical of the attorney defending two of the bans, saying he was sending a message that families headed by same-sex couples were “secondrate.”

The hearing is the first time since it declared California’s gay marriage ban unconstitutional that the 9th Circuit is listening to arguments over same-sex weddings in a climate that’s vastly different than when it overturned Proposition 8 in 2012.

Ukraine Obama to broaden U.S. leader effort to combat militants visits port city

By Lara Jakes and Julie Pace The Associated Press

President vows not to cede territory

By David M. Herszenhorn The New York Times

MOSCOW — With a fragile truce barely holding in eastern Ukraine, President Petro Poroshenko visited the port city of Mariupol on Monday, not far from where Ukrainian forces suffered severe losses in recent days, and declared that his government would never relinquish territory that some separatists claim historically belongs to Russia.

“Just arrived in Mariupol,” Poroshenko declared in a Twitter post. “This is our Ukrainian land. We will never give it up to anyone.”

Poroshenko’s visit came as sporadic violations of the cease-fire were reported in several parts of the region.

Although the fighting between pro-Russian separatists and government troops has quieted down substantially since the cease-fire was announced Friday, it has not stopped. Still, officials on all sides seemed eager to sustain the truce — by force of will if nothing else.

The 12-point agreement reached in Minsk, Belarus, by representatives of the Ukrainian government, the separatists, Russia and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe includes a proposal increased political autonomy in eastern Ukraine, but a longterm political settlement is expected to be extremely difficult to reach.

In a speech in Mariupol, Poroshenko said that the sides were complying with a provision in the truce agreement that calls for the exchange of all captives, Ukrainian and international news agencies reported.

He said the separatists had released 1,200 captives to the Ukrainian side so far.

Tensions between Russia and the West over the Ukrainian crisis continued to run high Monday. The European Union was reported to be close to imposing a new round of economic sanctions intended to penalize Moscow and its allies for their role in the seizure of Crimea and in the rebel uprising in the east.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev of Russia warned that his government would retaliate against any new sanctions, perhaps by banning Western airlines from flying through Russian airspace, as many do on long-haul flights to Asia.

“If Western carriers have to bypass our airspace, this could drive many struggling airlines into bankruptcy,” Medvedev said in a lengthy interview published Monday in the Russian newspaper Vedomosti.

The European Union’s 28 member states endorsed proposals on Monday for expanded sanctions against Russia, including tighter restrictions on credit for state oil companies.

But some members, including Finland, raised “concerns about the timetable” for the new measures to take effect. Officials in Brussels said ambassadors from member nations were meeting late into the evening to discuss the issue of when the measures would be published in the union’s Official Journal, the final step in the laborious policymaking process.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will go on the offensive against the Islamic State group with a broader counterterror mission than he previously has been willing to embrace, U.S. officials said Monday. The new plan, however, still won’t commit U.S. troops to a ground war against the brutal insurgency and will rely heavily for now on allies to pitch in for what could be an extended campaign.

Obama’s more aggressive posture — which officials say will target Islamic State militants comprehensively and not just to protect U.S. interests or help resolve humanitarian disasters — reflects a new direction for a president who campaigned to end the war in Iraq and has generally been deeply reluctant to use U.S. military might since he took office in 2009.

“Almost every single county on Earth has a role to play in eliminating the ISIL threat and the evil that it represents,” Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters Monday night, using an acronym for the Islamic State. He said nations around the world are seeking to defeat the militancy with a coalition “built to endure for the months, and perhaps years, to come.”

The U.S. has already launched more than 100 airstrikes against militant targets in Iraq, including a new series that the military said killed an unusually large number of Islamic State fighters. A Central Command statement Monday said the strikes hit targets near the Haditha Dam Obama is to describe his plans in a speech Wednesday.

By that time, Kerry will be

headed to Saudi Arabia and Jordan to meet with Mideast leaders and gauge their level of commitment to a growing worldwide coalition that is uniting against the Islamic State.

Kerry said nations from Canada to Estonia to Kuwait to Australia have already contributed a mix of assistance.

As he weighs his next move, Obama was soliciting advice Monday from prominent foreign policy experts from across the political spectrum over dinner at the White House. Among the guests invited to join Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were former national security advisers from the Obama, George W. Bush, Clinton and Carter administrations, as well as Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass and former Acting CIA Director Michael Morrell.

In a call Monday evening, Obama congratulated new Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi for the approval of a new government. The White House said al-Abadi “expressed his commitment to work with

all communities in Iraq as well as regional and international partners to strengthen Iraq’s capabilities” to fight the Islamic State militants.

But Western leaders still appear divided on whether to launch airstrikes in Syria. U.S. officials said Obama is leaning toward doing so as part of an international effort, and British Prime Minister David Cameron last week said he has not ruled them out. It’s likely that the airstrikes, if they occur, would aim to avoid any of Assad’s aircraft, landing strips or other assets that are part of Damascus’ campaign to attack Sunni rebel groups that include the Islamic State.

Obama is also expected to press congressional lawmakers to approve $500 million in lethal aid to the Syrian rebels. He proposed the aid earlier this year, but his request has stalled on Capitol Hill.

U.S. concerned Jordan is vulnerable to attack by Islamic State group WASHINGTON — Worried that Jordan could be vulnerable to the Islamic State militant group, the U.S. is stepping up its intelligence cooperation with one of its most stalwart Middle East allies.

The CIA has approached a retired former agency official with close ties to King Abdullah II about setting up a special task force to help Jordan deal with the threat from the Islamic State group, according to two former agency officials who would not be quoted by name discussing a secret mission.

While the prospect of the Islamic State prevailing over the well-equipped Jordanian military seems remote, Jordan is vulnerable to both terrorist attacks and internal strife. Its economy is weak and 1.5 million Syrian refugees are

consuming scarce resources and services, U.S. officials and experts say.

Whatever he does publicly, Abdullah has consistently supported the U.S. The CIA has long had close ties to Jordan’s intelligence service, and the two countries work closely together against al-Qaida and other extremist groups.

The U.S. is providing Jordan about a $1 billion this year in economic and military aid, according to the Congressional Research Service, a sum that does not include classified intelligence funding.

Jordan’s Information Minister, Mohammad al-Momani, said Jordan is cooperating with its allies to counter that threat, he said, but he declined to discuss details.

Exactly what do we mean by global warming? How can we be sure it’s happening and how can we identify its cause? These basic questions are explored using observational data and scientific reasoning. Despite the complexity of the climate system, it is possible to understand how Earth’s surface temperature responds to increased concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The present human-caused warming of climate really is not surprising, as similar patterns of change in temperature and atmospheric composition are known to have occurred in Earth’s distant past.

Martinez still outpacing King Governor nets $961K to rival’s $379K, reports reveal

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

Gov. Susana Martinez’s fundraising machine continues to dwarf the efforts of Democratic opponent Gary King.

Campaign finance reports filed Monday show the Republican incumbent raised $961,901 between late June and Sept. 1. That’s more than two and a half times the $379,050 King raised during the same period.

Susana More daunting for King, Martinez however, is the fact that Martinez had more than $3.8 million cash on hand to spend before the November election. King had only $157,730.

Since the campaigns filed their last finance reports in late June, Martinez has blistered King with scathing ads on television and radio airwaves, while King has only had enough cash to fight back with a handful of campaign spots.

According to Monday’s reports, Martinez spent more than $1.4 million during that time. More than $686,000 of that went to buy media time for her commercials.

King, on the other hand, spent $337,337, of which $93,753 was for media.

Martinez’s contributors included 67 donors who gave the maximum $5,200.

Among those were Koch Industries, owned by brothers David and Charles Koch. The

pair, who have given millions to Republican and conservative candidates nationwide, already had given $5,194 in contributions to Martinez in this election cycle, plus another $5,000 to the governor’s political action committee, Susana PAC. Another Republican celebrity to give Martinez $5,200 was former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who listed his occupation as “author.” Rumsfeld, who was defense secretary under President George W. Bush during the early years of the Iraq War, has retired in El Prado near Taos. His wife, Joyce Rumsfeld, also gave Martinez $5,200.

A Lea County ranching family — Donald, Norman, Larry and Marjorie Gregory — contributed a total of $20,800 to Martinez’s re-election effort. Two companies for which Larry Gregory serves as president gave $15,600 to Martinez.

Labor unions were the major source of contributions for King. He received $10,200 from the Communications Workers of America’s political action committee. That union represents many state employees. He also got $5,200 each from the International Association of Firefighters; National Education Association; American Federation of Teachers; the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; and the Drive Committee, which is part of the Teamsters Union.

King also received a total of $30,400 from several companies with the same address in the U.S. Virgin Islands, an address also associated with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. A King campaign spokesman said Monday, “If anything is found to be improper about any contribution, they will be returned or donated to charity.”

The biggest single donor to King was the campaign of U.S. Rep. Michelle Luján Grisham, D-Albuquerque. Grisham’s organization gave $10,400.

Former U.S. Sen Jeff Bingaman and his wife, Anne Bingaman, each contributed $2,500.

The governor’s Susana PAC reported raising $59,675 since late June. That PAC mainly is contributing to Republicans running for statewide offices and GOP legislative candidates this year. Susana Pac listed only one campaign contribution, in the amount of $2,500, in Monday’s report.

Other PACs also are soliciting campaign contributions this season. Patriot Majority, which is for Democratic candidates, received $625,000 in contributions, all of which came from national labor unions.

The PAC didn’t make any contributions to candidates this period.

Advance New Mexico Now, a newly formed GOP-leaning political group, which lists former Clovis district attorney Matt Chandler as treasurer, raised $227,500.

That included $100,000 each from Texas real estate investor and developer Marcus Hiles and a national GOP group, the Republican State Leadership Committee.

Giving $10,000 were Denver developer and homebuilder Larry Mizel and EnerVest, a Houston-based oil company with operations in New Mexico. Hiles and Mizel have contributed to Martinez’s re-election.

King: In 2006, campaign returned $15K Continued from Page A-1 another contribution from a business at the same address — $5,200 from Neptune LLC. King received an additional contribution from the U.S. Virgin Islands earlier this year when SourcePoint, a company that leases slot machines to casinos, gave his campaign $5,000. SourcePoint, however, did not use the Red Hook Quarter address.

A spokesman for the King campaign said Monday, “If anything is found to be improper about any contribution, they will be returned or donated to charity.”

If that happens, it wouldn’t be the first time King returns campaign money linked to Epstein.

In 2006, following Epstein’s arrest, King gave back $15,000 that an Epstein company called The Zorro Trust had con-

tributed to his campaign for attorney general. In addition, Democratic politicians from Bill Richardson down to the Santa Fe County sheriff returned Epstein campaign contributions.

King said at the time, “I don’t think I’ve ever met him personally. He knows other members of my family better.”

Epstein had purchased his 10,000-acre Zorro Ranch in Stanley from King’s father, former Gov. Bruce King, in 1993.

In 2006, then-Gov. Bill Richardson donated $50,000 in Epstein campaign contributions to charity.

In 2011, Epstein, after serving an 18-month prison sentence, told the New York Post, “I’m not a sexual predator, I’m an offender, It’s the difference between a murderer and a person who steals a bagel.”

But the Post noted that a New

York judge had ruled a month before that Epstein was “the most dangerous kind of sex offender: a Level 3.” In New York, that means he is at high risk to repeat his offense and poses a threat to public safety.

The 23,000-square-foot hilltop mansion Epstein built in New Mexico, which was twice the size of the second-largest home in Santa Fe County, was thought at that time to be the biggest house in the state. It’s not clear whether Epstein still owns that property.

Epstein appears in sex offender registries in Florida, the Virgin Islands and New York, where he also has a residence. New York’s registry is the only one that lists his actual address.

A 1995 report in The New Mexican, when Epstein submitted plans for his house to the

County Commission, said “The main house will be similar to a Mexican hacienda, with an open-air entry into a courtyard with high-ceiling hallways, stone columns and a central fountain. The living room will measure about 2,100-squarefeet, larger than the average house in Santa Fe County. The home will have an elevator, eight bathrooms, four fireplaces and three bedrooms.”

Epstein got a county permit to build a small airplane hangar and maintained an air strip on the ranch.

In 2006, Santa Fe County appraised the structures on the Zorro Ranch at $16.6 million.

Pot: Commission will hear resolution Continued from Page A-1 Richard Ellenberg, the Santa Fe County Democratic Party chairman, said Monday.

“The Democratic candidates will get a percentage boost,” he said. “Whether it’s 10 votes or 10,000 votes, I don’t have a clue. Probably somewhere in between those two numbers.”

Stefanics did not return messages seeking comment Monday. She represents County Commission District 5, which includes some southern parts of the city, as well as Eldorado.

Under her resolution, voters would be asked whether county commissioners “should support county, city, and statewide efforts to decriminalize possession of one ounce or less of marijuana.”

Commissioners in Bernalillo County, the state’s most populous county, voted 3-2 along party lines on Monday to put a similar advisory question on the November ballot. Critics said the marijuana measure in Bernalillo County is simply an attempt by some Democrats to get younger voters to the polls.

Commissioner Wayne Johnson, a Republican, repeatedly questioned the legality and wisdom of adding advisory questions to the ballot so late.

“These questions have no basis in law,” he said.

Secretary of State Dianna Duran, a Republican who is seeking re-election in November in a race against Bernalillo County Clerk Mary Louise Oliver, last month warned Santa Fe County commissioners that she has concerns about whether she can fit a marijuana question onto a crowded general election ballot that already includes five constitutional amendments, three statewide bond questions, multiple judicial retention questions and vari-

ous candidates for office.

The proposed Santa Fe County resolution comes after the Santa Fe city governing body’s 5-4 vote on the issue after advocacy groups filed enough petition signatures to put the idea of decriminalizing marijuana possession before city voters. The council’s vote to amend a city ordinance eliminated the need for such an election. Last week, a behind-the-scenes effort to call a special meeting for the council to reconsider its action and instead try to put the question before voters failed to get enough support.

“We’ve been hearing a lot from constituents that weren’t happy with our decision who wanted a chance to vote on the initiative,” city spokesman Matt Ross said.

“There were some folks looking at what it takes to do a special meeting, what it would take to reconsider the initiative and send it to the ballot after all,” he said. “But there wasn’t a lot of support for that from the mayor or from the council in general, so they dropped it.”

Stefanics attributes the council’s decision to adopt the initiative outright “as well as the fact that several states have enacted decriminalization laws” as evidence of “increasing support for the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana,” according to the resolution.

“Putting advisory questions to voters in general elections allows elected officials to accurately gauge the opinion of the voting public on matters of public concern at minimal additional cost,” the resolution states.

Birds: Blue jays, robins will benefit Continued from Page A-1

Ski: Limits are planned on number of skiers Continued from Page A-1 in North America, will increase lift-serviced terrain at the mountain by 50 acres — or 50 percent.

Taos Ski Valley plans to limit the lift capacity to keep crowds on the slopes as small as possible. The lift has been engineered to transport about 1,500 people per hour to the top, compared to a traditional capacity of about 2,100.

“We did this with the idea that it’s OK to have a line to ride up this lift. Nobody else does this, but it’s very much in keeping with the Kachina Peak experience. This is much more than a lift going up on a hillside. It’s giving people the opportunity to have an experience unparalleled in North America.”

According to Briner, anyone who has skied the black diamonds at Taos (known to be quite challenging) will be comfortable coming down off Kachina Peak.

“If you ski any black diamond at Taos Ski Valley, you’ll probably be able to ski Kachina Peak.

In relative terms, it’s some of the more forgiving expert terrain at Taos Ski Valley.”

For those who dig the walk, the majority of Highline Ridge and West Basin will remain accessible by foot only. And the ski area will add new hiketo terrain this season with the opening of The Wild West Glades, 35 acres of tree skiing accessible via the West Basin Ridge.

Installing the lift, bought from the Salt Lake City company Skytrac, was a challenging construction project, in part because of an agreement with the Forest Service not to bulldoze new roads through the

mountains to build it.

Roads were used to bring materials and equipment only as far as the bottom of the lift, which is just a short downhill traverse from the top of Lift 4.

The construction project started in May, after the end of the 2014 season, when two snowcats were used to haul the 3-ton bull wheel, around which the cable moves, on a special sled to the peak. The grooming machines had never been to the top of Kachina Peak before and crews first had to build a path with switchbacks, like a mountain road. The snow was then still 6 or 8 feet deep in the mountains. The whole process took about a week.

A spider hoe, a specialized backhoe designed to crawl up mountains, was then used to dig the foundations for the lift towers and the terminal location.

Helicopters were brought in to pour the concrete foundations in July and August.

Another change that skiers will see when the area opens this fall is that the drop-off area is at the west end of Thunderbird Road.

For the next two years, there will still be a short staircase to climb to reach the lifts. But Taos Ski Valley this spring will start redevelopment of the base area, including the main building where the rental shop and ski shop are located. That building will be removed, replaced by a 120,000-square-foot building that will include residential units, skier services, new shops and the ticket office. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed in December 2016.

The base area improvements ultimately will come in at well over $20 million.

The investments are being made at a time when climate change is making it more and more challenging for ski ares to sustain themselves.

But Briner said Taos Ski Valley is addressing those challenges.

The Kachina Peak Lift, he pointed out, will take skiers to the best snow in the valley. Even in low snow years, there is snow on Kachina Peak. “That’s a snow magnet,” he said. “If there is going to be good skiing anywhere, it’s probably on Kachina Peak.”

And the improvements to the base will broaden appeal, making the valley less dependent on snow. “With a better base area, people can come and still have a great experience,” Briner said. Summer and fall recreation opportunities, like lift-accessed mountain biking, which launched June 28, will be increased.

Taos Ski Valley also made a $700,000 investment over the summer in snow-making, which means the top of the mountain will be opened sooner this season, and beyond, possibly by Thanksgiving. The goal is for all lifts to be operating by Christmas.

Instead of taking 10 weeks to put snow on about 400 acres, it will take eight because of more energy-efficient compressors.

“We’re not going to increase the amount of snow we make [or the water used]. We’re just going to put that water on the slopes faster,” Briner said.

After 40 years in the ski business, Briner said he has stopped watching the weather forecasts, but ski enthusiasts are hoping El Niño, the weather phenomenon linked to moisture in the Southwest, will mean more snow this winter.

jections of what is likely to happen to America’s birds.

The report says that in a few decades, 126 bird species will end up with a much smaller area to live in, which the society says will make them endangered. An additional 188 species will lose more than half their natural range but relocate to new areas. Those moves will be threatening to the birds’ survival, too, because they will be confronted with different food and soil, bird experts said.

Other birds, including backyard regulars like the American robin and the blue jay, will fly in even more places, the report says. And some of the biggest potential winners aren’t exactly birds that people like — species such as the turkey vulture, the American crow and the mourning dove, which will expand their ranges tremendously.

“If you want to know what the climate change future sounds like, it sounds a lot like a mourning dove,” Langham said. Some people find annoying the singing of the mourning dove, which will more than double its range.

Langham used bird survey data in summer and winter from 2000 to 2009 and correlated it to climate conditions to come up with simulations of how bird ranges will change. He then tested the simulations against past data from 1980 to 1999, and they worked. Then he used United Nations carbon pollution scenarios from 2007 to project bird ranges in 2020, 2040 and 2080.

The report is not yet peerreviewed, which is crucial in science. However, Langham said it is based on a report Audubon did last year that

An American robin could be one bird that has an expanded habitat with climate change, the Audubon Society report says.

U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE

was commissioned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Duke University ecologist Stuart Pimm dismissed the study as too general, poorly executed and not that new.

But other scientists, such as Stanford University biologist Terry Root, said the Audubon report makes sense and looks trustworthy. A third biologist, A. Townsend Peterson of the University of Kansas, faulted some of the methods used but praised the overall comprehensiveness of the study.

“It’s very scary,” Root said.

“People need to stand up and take note.”

On Tuesday, several federal agencies, Cornell University and a number of private organizations will release a separate U.S. “state of the birds” report, and the outlook will be bleak.

Cornell Lab of Ornithology director John Fitzpatrick wrote in a preview last month in The New York Times that 230 species “are currently in danger of extinction or at risk of becoming so” and that two dozen common birds, such as nighthawks, are showing “early warning signals of distress.”

Pay: Economists note part-time, contract workers are used more Continued from Page A-1 a tax and accounting firm.

Some economists expect pay to pick up eventually as the job market keeps improving.

They think wages have lagged because millions of people are still out of work — many of whom aren’t counted in the unemployment rate because they’re no longer looking for a job.

But others say they fear that pay has stagnated because of trends that will persist even after the economy has moved closer to full health.

They note that companies have been making more use of temporary and part-time workers, usually at lower pay, to replace full-time permanent jobs. And newer technologies have enabled businesses to produce more with fewer employees.

A survey of Harvard Business

School graduates released Monday lends weight to that notion.

Nearly half the respondents said they’d rather invest in technology than in workers. Just over 40 percent expect wages and benefits to decline over the next three years.

Economists are flummoxed by the way the historical relationship between pay and unemployment has eroded since the recession ended.

Based on historical trends, the steady drop in unemployment should have raised inflationadjusted wages by 3.6 percent

by June, according to researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

That’s because employers have had to fill jobs from a smaller pool of unemployed people — a trend that normally forces them to pay more.

Instead, overall inflationadjusted wages have essentially flattened since 2009.

That said, workers in some industries have fared better. For those in a category that includes data processing and analytics, as well as broadcasting, film and publishing, hourly wages have surged 4.6 percent in the past year. And pay is up at least 3 percent for financial services workers and wholesalers.

By contrast, wages are up just 1.3 percent for employees in education and health care.

So why has overall wage growth been so weak? Economists point to several factors.

The biggest is that there are still too many people desperate for work than is typical for a healthy economy. That makes it easier for employers to fill jobs without raising pay.

There are 227,000 fewer people with jobs than in November 2007, just before the recession began. Yet the working-age population is up 15.3 million since then. That’s kept the number of

unemployed elevated: 9.6 million Americans, up from 7.6 million when the recession began.

But it’s not just unemployment that’s holding down wages.

The many part-timers who would prefer full-time work are also competing with those who are out of work. There are 7.2 million involuntary parttimers, up from just 4.6 million in late 2007.

Half the economists surveyed

by The Associated Press last month cited the high number of people without full-time jobs as the main reason wage growth has been weak.

The Chicago Fed estimates that if all measures of unemployment, including involuntary part-timers, had returned to prerecession levels, paychecks after inflation would now be rising up to 1 percentage point faster.

Given these trends, people who do have jobs have less

leverage to demand higher pay.

Sixteen percent of working Americans say their pay hasn’t budged in the past year, up from 11 percent before the recession, according to research by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In a healthier economy, more people would seek higher pay elsewhere and quit their jobs once they found it. But the number who quit their jobs tumbled during the recession and has only partly recovered.

In addition, fewer startup companies are being created, holding back hiring. In the final quarter of 2013, new companies created just 1.3 million jobs, down from an average of 1.75 million in the 1990s, according to government data.

Fewer startups and fewer quits have reduced what’s called job-market “churn.” Economists liken churn to musical chairs: When people quit or new jobs are created by startups, more

positions open for the unemployed or for workers seeking higher pay.

But churn has declined by up to one-third since the early 1990s, according to research by economists Steven Davis and John Haltiwanger.

Typically, wages also rise in line with increased productivity.

Productivity measures output per hour of work, and higher productivity enables companies to pay more without sparking inflation. Yet productivity has been unusually sluggish the past three years.

Some economists are surprised that the recession didn’t weaken Americans’ pay even more than it did. So deep was the recession that many analysts assumed companies would reduce not only jobs but also wages.

The lack of pay cuts during the recession may help explain meager raises now.

Sadly, Steve lost his battle with cancer last year, but Nancy manages the auto repair shop and didn’t feel it was time to close. “I enjoy working here, the building is paid for and I enjoy our customers,” she said.

By Martin Benedyk and Danica Kirka The Associated Press

BERWICK-UPON-TWEED, England — All Gavin Jones has to do is scan the shelves of his impossibly quaint shop on England’s border with Scotland to know he’ll have a big problem if the Scots declare independence next week.

There are teddy bears in Campbell clan tartans and shelves of shortbread from Scotland — just above the red jams made in England. After independence, the Scottish goods would be subject to import duties, and customers would likely pay in two different currencies. Business in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England’s northernmost town, could soon be crushed by bank transaction costs.

“If Scotland chooses independence, it changes our concept of local,” he said. “There are then barriers put in place.”

Berwickers like to think of themselves as neither English nor Scottish. Little wonder: this enclave has changed hands 13 times over the centuries.

But there is no getting away from the fact that the locals in Berwick could be dramatically affected by the Sept. 18 referendum.

In that way, they are like the rest of Britain. While the vote may alter the balance of power in British politics, increase the likelihood that the U.K. will leave the European Union and weaken the nation’s economy and currency, the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland will have no say. Only residents of Scotland are eligible to cast ballots.

Britain’s left-leaning Labour Party would be the biggest political victim of independence — it is often joked there are more pandas in Edinburgh’s zoo than there are Conservative Party lawmakers in Scotland.

Scottish voters elected 41 Labour members of Parliament in the 2010 election and only one Conservative.

If the next general election due in May were held today, eliminating Scottish votes would give Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservatives a 37-seat majority win.

That could drag Britain toward yet another high-stakes vote — on whether the country as a whole should leave the EU. Cameron has promised a referendum to appease voters concerned about immigration and meddling by bureaucrats in Brussels. Scotland has been very pro-EU, so losing its votes would weaken the camp that wants Britain to stay.

Leaving the EU could have huge consequences for Britain.

The EU guarantees freedom of movement for people, goods and money, a big advantage for companies that want to do business across the bloc, which with its 500 million people is the world’s largest combined economy.

Nancy mentioned that being an auto repair shop owned by a woman makes other women more comfortable and confident that they can be treated fairly at Expert Auto. “I’ve seen an increase in the number of women that come in to get service for their cars and I chalk that up to being a woman-owned shop,” said Nancy.

LOCAL NEWS 911 call reveals details of slaying Recording discloses motive behind fatal shooting on East Alameda Street

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

Edwin Watters’ voice did not waver as he told police he shot a man.

“There’s has been a shooting,” the 57-yearold said. “I just shot a man attacking me,” he said in a 911 call released Monday.

Watters’ statement revealed a motive behind the fatal shooting Aug. 14 of Diego Sena, 45, in the 1100 block of East Alameda Street.

The Santa Fe Police Department arrested Watters on an open count of murder. Police have said he admitted to shooting Sena, but they have refused to say if he had a motive.

Watters is being held at the Santa Fe County jail in lieu of a $500,000 cash bond.

Paulina Sena, Diego Sena’s niece, has told The New Mexican that her cousin, who owns the property, had hired Watters to do remodeling work and that Watters had hired Diego Sena as a construction laborer to help with the project.

The nine-minute 911 call features Watters relaying details of the shooting to an emergency dispatcher.

He starts by telling the dispatcher that he shot a man attacking him.

“He is here,” Watters says.

“He is down. He is hurt bad.

Edwin Please hurry.”

Watters Watters then tells the dispatcher that Diego Sena’s brother is caring for the downed man. He also tells the dispatcher he assumed Diego Sena was injured because, “I shot until the gun stopped shooting.”

An arrest warrant released last week indicated that Watters shot Sena six times with a .22-caliber handgun. Two of those shots found Sena’s back.

In the background of the recording, a man is heard savagely shrieking muddled profanities. It’s unclear who does the screaming: Diego Sena, his brother or someone else.

The dispatcher tells Watters to leave the gun alone before asking the 57-year-old why he shot Sena. Watters says Sena had broken into his house and “just disheveled it” while Wat-

ters was attending his father’s funeral. He also tells the dispatcher that Sena had been yelling at him all day and drinking with his friends.

“I stayed away from him, and he just came dashing at me,” Watters says, offering no further explanation.

The dispatcher then asks Watters if he knows the man he shot. Watters says yes, it’s the brother-in-law of the family that employed him. The call ends shortly afterward, as police arrive. Watters shouts, “Come through, come through quick,” and then hangs up on the dispatcher. A news release following the homicide indicated that Sena was dead by the time paramedics arrived.

Celina Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the police department, said she couldn’t comment on Watters’ claims of self-defense because the investigation is ongoing. She did say, however, that police are searching for more witnesses who might have seen Diego Sena working at the Alameda property earlier that day.

Relatives have said that Watters and Sena had a strained relationship since the two started working together, but Paulina Sena said the family didn’t know what caused the shooting.

NEW MEXICO DRIVERS SEE GAS PRICES PLUNGE

Gonzales, other mayors attend talks in Great Britain Leaders participating in meetings to discuss economic development, climate change and transportation

By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

Mayor Javier Gonzales is in the United Kingdom this week.

Gonzales and some other mayors from the United States are attending a series of meetings to discuss economic development, climate change and transportation with government and industry leaders in the United Kingdom, a news release states.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a ministerial department supported by 11 agencies and public bodies that promotes the United Kingdom’s interests overseas, is paying for the mayor’s trip, city spokesman Matt Ross said Monday. Ross didn’t know the cost of the trip or what the ministerial department expected from Gonzales’ visit.

“I don’t want to speculate on what they’re looking for exactly,” he said. “But I know the mayor’s looking for an exchange of ideas and opportunities, both coming from us and coming from them, as well.”

Gonzales was quoted in the news release: “This is a great opportunity for Santa Fe to shine on an international stage, and I’m humbled by the chance to represent my home this week. I’m here to talk about what we’re doing in Santa Fe to move forward, and to learn about possible opportunities we might be able to take advantage of to boost our community’s well-being.”

Among the items on his itinerary, according to the release, Gonzales “will tour the Sony Technology Centre to discuss their investments in local startups, meet with the CEO of Ffilm Cymru Wales to compare the Wales and Santa Fe film industries, sit down with the Confederation of British Industry to talk about growth opportunities for UK businesses in Santa Fe, and have lunch with Sir David King, the foreign secretary’s special representative for climate change.”

The trip won’t be all business.

In the evenings, the delegation of mayors is taking part in activities such as a tour of Stonehenge and a visit to the Tower of London. On Monday, Gonzales posted on Facebook and Instagram selfies he took in front of Stonehenge and a castle in Wales that he said President Barack Obama visited last week.

Gonzales left Sunday and returns Thursday, which means he will miss Wednesday’s regularly scheduled City Council meeting. He will be back at City Hall on Friday.

Murphy Express at Las Soleras, across Cerrillos Road from Supercenter Wal-Mart, is selling regular unleaded gas for $3.09 a gallon. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN

G

as prices have now dropped in New Mexico for the 10th consecutive week, and at least two stations in Santa Fe are selling a gallon of regular unleaded for less than $3.10.

As of last week, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded fuel in New Mexico was $3.36 and $3.38 in Santa Fe, according to the AAA New Mexico Weekend Gas Watch.

But with the end of the summer driving season, prices dropped significantly over the

weekend, according to GasBuddy.com, a website that tracks gasoline trends.

As of Monday, two stations reported a price of $3.09 per gallon for regular unleaded — Murphy Express at Las Soleras and the Phillips 66 at Cerrillos Road and Calle Resolana — while two others, Sam’s Club and the Fill Up at Cerrillos Road and Camino Carlos Rey, had a price of $3.11, according to GasBuddy. com.

“With the busy summer driving season offi-

cially behind us and children back in school, demand for fuel is less than what we’ve seen in recent months,” said AAA Texas/New Mexico Representative Doug Shupe. “Barring any major storms, geopolitical concerns or refinery disruptions, we could see pump prices move even lower as refineries transition to producing less expensive winter-blend fuel in a few weeks.”

In 2009, U.S. District Judge Judith Herrera ruled that only groups whose purpose is to elect or defeat a candidate must register as political action committees. That decision was upheld by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Youngblood said that if Oliver were to look at the group’s “Web page and Facebook page and ask herself if the group is ‘promoting the election or defeat of a candidate,’ the clear answer would be yes.”

N.M. eyes nuke project after federal ruling The Associated Press

HOBBS — The southeastern New Mexico area that houses the federal government’s troubled nuclear waste dump is renewing its push to also store spent nuclear fuel from power plants.

Lea and Eddy counties long have advocated for such a facility, and officials say that effort could receive a new boost thanks to a recent ruling by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

The Hobbs News-Sun reports the commission last month approved a plan for the continued storage of used nuclear fuel on-site at nuclear power plants.

Officials say that action could reopen the door for a long-term interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in Lea and Eddy counties.

“NRC made a decision … to allow storage to go forward,” said John Heaton, president of the Eddy/ Lea Energy Alliance, a multicounty and city organization working to lure a nuclear project to a jointly owned 640-acre site in western Lea County. “That had been on hold because of court intervention. The court has allowed them to go forward with interim storage. That is a very big step. There are a lot of facilities that don’t have the ability or desire to store spent fuel onsite.”

The move comes as officials work to reopen the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad after a mysterious leak that contaminated 22 workers with low levels of radiation. The deep underground repository is the government’s only permanent repository for waste from decades of nuclear bomb building.

Cleanup is expected to take years.

Tuesday, September 9, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

Group: Site offers links to King’s website Continued from Page A-6 ing issues and agendas, and spotlighting political figures. It also raises the question of whether these groups also can operate as political action groups. Both King and Martinez have said that education is the top issue in the campaign.

The Stand4KidsNM website, www. stand4kidsNM.org, bills itself as an effort to help parents “understand what the education ‘reforms’ mandated by Gov. Martinez and her education secretarydesignate Hanna Skandera really mean.”

It says it is supporting King for a number of reasons, including his criticism of the state teacher evaluation system, which has come under fire from many educators, and the fact that he “believes as we do that the constitution requires a qualified educator to hold the position of Secretary of Education. Hanna Skandera is a policy wonk. She is not an educator.”

Among other offerings, the site includes links to newspaper articles, King’s campaign website, educational facts and figures (including the education budget), and blogs written by Stand4KidsNM contributors.

In July, Korte posted a Facebook entry in which she wrote, “Traitor. You’re not listening,” on a political postcard for Rep. Paul Pacheco, R-Albuquerque, following a vote on education spending he made that Korte’s group did not support.

She has expressed criticism of various Martinez education policies both online and in editorials.

Youngblood said such efforts were made to influence an election.

“They are not just a little Facebook page. They have a website, they have a domain and they are hosting a website,” she said. “It’s not what their stand is, it’s how deep they go into acting to influence an election.

“It’s just a matter of knowing where everything is coming from. It could be a PAC from somewhere else putting up the money for Stand4Kids. Just because they don’t have a bank account doesn’t mean they are not spending money.”

Ken Ortiz, spokesman for the Secretary of State’s Office, said the office will take no action until it hears from Korte.

It will then review the complaint and her response and determine whether to pursue the matter.

He said that if there is a violation of any kind, the secretary of state can recommend remedies or pass the matter on to the Attorney General’s Office or to the district attorney.

He said that if it’s determined a violation occurred, it’s possible Korte could register, provide a list of contributions and comply to the point where the office might say, “Case closed. She has followed what the secretary of state seeks and is seeking voluntary compliance.”

It costs $50 to register as a political action committee, Ortiz said.

Fire destroys Eldorado home The New Mexican

Flames engulfed a onestory house Monday night in the northeast section of the Eldorado subdivision south of Santa Fe. A neighbor said the blaze broke out at about 7:45 p.m.

No one was in the house at the time and no injuries were reported, Sgt. Michael Martinez of the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said.

A neighbor said fire officials told her the site was being treated as a crime scene. Martinez said the cause was still under investigation late Monday and it was too early to determine whether there was any evidence of suspicious activity.

Hirsch Wilson with the Hondo volunteer fire department said it was the second time in a month that firefighters responded to a fire at this house. He said fire-

fighters were able to extinguish the earlier fire, which started in the garage, without substantial damage.

Martinez said dispatchers received a call about Monday’s fire at 7:50 p.m. By that time, he said, “it was a fully engulfed structure.”

Firefighters from both the Hondo and Eldorado fire

departments were among the responders, and crews were still dealing with hot spots at 10:45 p.m.

The house was located on Conchas Court, not far from Eldorado’s Community Center, and witnesses reported seeing the glow from the fire from nearby highways.

In brief Driver accused of fifth drunken-driving offense City officers arrested a man accused of driving under the influence for a fifth time late Friday night on Santa Fe’s south side.

A police officer wrote that he stopped Joseph Jacquez, 51, of Española near Airport Road and Zepol Road at about 11 p.m. A check revealed that Jacquez had four DWI convictions on his record, the officer wrote.

Authorities towed the driver’s 1999 Dodge pickup. Jacquez was being held in lieu of a $10,000 cash bond at the Santa Fe County jail. Online court records show Jacquez was convicted of aggravated drunken driving as part of a 2002 plea deal. Before that, he was convicted of his third aggravated DWI in 2000. Information on previous offenses was not available in online records.

Shadow inventory a question for home market T

Tapping wave of power Santa Fe company aims to turn ocean’s motion into electricity

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

A

Santa Fe company plans to turn ocean waves into electricity off Peru’s coast in the spring.

Atmocean is run by Philip Kithil, an entrepreneur and inventor. Chris White, a native Santa Fean, works as the project administrator, and both understand the ocean and waves better than most landlocked New Mexicans.

“There are a lot of exciting advantages here versus traditional methods of energy production,” White said.

It’s a dry Wednesday, and there’s no water in sight at the CoLAB, 1807 Second St., where the duo rents desk space. Most of the design and marketing work takes place in Santa Fe, the manufacturing of prototypes is done in Albuquerque, and the testing takes place in locales such as the Gulf of Mexico and Oregon.

Wave energy is a simple concept but hard in practice. The idea is to harness the kinetic motion produced by the ceaseless motion of waves. Kithil’s system uses a set of buoys that convert wave energy into pressured water, which then powers a set of turbines.

It’s a growing global movement.

The Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center run by Oregon State University and the University of Washington is dedicated to studying and promoting marine energy. Similar programs exist worldwide.

As for Peru, Kithil said the site selection occurred with little leg work. A manufacturing company in Peru had seen an article about Atmocean and asked him to bring his system to South America.

A few trips to Peru later, Kithil

HOW IT WORKS The idea behind wave energy is to harness the kinetic motion produced by the motion of waves. Philip Kithil’s system, seen in this rendering uses a set of buoys that convert wave energy into pressured water, which then powers a set of turbines. COURTESY ATMOCEAN

and White secured a manufacturing deal. They’ll start building the first array in spring 2015 barring major setbacks.

Kithil moved to Santa Fe in 1972. He didn’t study wave energy or work in a marine-related field.

He ran an outdoor clothing company in the early-’70s to the mid’80s, then sold that businesses.

Kithil then designed automotive safety components from the mid-’80s to mid-2000s. His daughter inspired that transition, he said. It was 1984, and Kithil said that his daughter was driving to Santa Fe High. That’s when another driver rear-ended her vehicle. She survived — the vehicle not so much — but that accident ignited his interest in automotive safety.

In a similar manner, Kithil said he first conceived of his buoyand-pump system after witnessing the havoc caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

He developed a pump that would transfer cooler water near the ocean floor to the surface. He

said reducing the water’s surface temperature could dampen a hurricane’s power as it headed inland. Kithil said he fashioned and tested a successful prototype, but he found no market for his creation.

Kithil next planned to sell the pumps as a carbon-offset measure. That effort stuttered, too. Eventually, Kithil and White decided to market the pumps as electricity producers.

The rigs are made up of a buoy, pump and an anchor. The buoys are 10 feet wide and made of fiberglass and foam. A metal pump and a piston are attached underneath the buoy, and a set of anchors shaped like fins helps secure the rig. The buoys are large — the pump and anchors are each 10 feet tall — but the two said their design is one of the smaller ones in the waveenergy industry.

Many wave-energy systems require seafloor transmission cables to transfer the energy produced by the buoys to shore.

A-9

Kithil’s system does not, which means the array, he said, is easier to install and maintain.

The ocean waves carry the large buoy up and down continuously, and that motion powers the intake and the pumping of water. The pressurized water then travels through an auxiliary tube to a main line that leads back to the coast. There the water spins a turbine, then is shot back out to the ocean.

Kithil’s design calls for an array made of rigs in a 3-by-5 grid. And each array is tethered about a mile offshore.

Ideally, the array will produce about 2.1 million kilowatt-hours per year. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average American home in 2012 consumed 10,837 kwh annually.

White studied marine biology in college, and recently he earned his master’s degree in oceanography and limnology from the University of Amsterdam. He said the impact of the buoy system on the environment would be minimal. White plans to relocate to Peru when the company launches the first test array.

“You’re seeing our ability to generate power coming at a great cost, specifically our entire environment,” White said. “When you find a solution where you’re actually able to create energy in an inert way, it’s really exciting.”

Kithil and White said they will start a crowdfunding campaign for Atmocean on Sept. 14 on Indiegogo.com. You can learn more about Atmocean at atmocean.wordpress.com.

he big question for the Santa Fe residential real estate market is not how many homes are on the market now, but how many will be on the market in the future? It’s known as shadow inventory.

Because of the housing meltdown followed by a steep decline in prices, many owners have been unable to sell because they owe too much on their mortgages or have not been able to get a price that makes it worthwhile. By some estimates, values in New Mexico are still 20 percent below pre-bubble levels.

So as prices begin to inch up and people pay down their mortgage debt, owners who want to move are more likely to do so.

“Recently some industry analysts have expressed concern about the size of the shadow inventory that remains,” writes Alan Ball, an associate broker at Keller Williams Realty Santa Fe. “Shadow inventory Bruce is not a small humorous anecdote or analogy. It is a huge weight on our Krasnow shoulders, on our market health.”

Business Matters Meantime, the county is holding its own with residential sales through the first seven months of 2014. Ball reports there were 1,019 residential sales through July, up from 953 the same period in 2013 — an increase of 7 percent — and on pace for the best year since 2007.

Ball’s August totals are not yet posted, but the monthly tally from Santa Fe’s Barker Realty indicates a 15 percent decline in homes sold from a year ago to 157, down from 184 in 2013. The inventory of homes has also declined from last year, but the average number of days on the market has climbed to 156, according to Barker.

Gearing up for Startup: The second annual Santa Fe Startup Weekend is set for Sept. 19-21 at the Santa Fe Business Incubator, 3900 Paseo del Sol. The weekend is geared to both entrepreneurs with ideas as well as those who might not have an idea but have a passion and expertise to partner in a business.

It is also a place for angel investors who might be looking for a local investment idea.

“Social entrepreneurship encompasses ideas from triple bottom-line businesses to nonprofits, from environmentally conscious products to new sustainable methods of production,” said Sean O’Shea, co-organizer of Santa Fe Startup Weekend and program director at the incubator. “Social enterprises place a firm emphasis on tackling social problems, making positive impact as important as financials to the bottom line.”

Alan Webber, co-founder of Fast Company magazine, entrepreneur, businessman and former candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, will keynote the event. In addition to traditional business startups, Santa Fe Startup Weekend organizers offer specialized coaching, mentoring and other services for participants interested in socially minded startups.

The weekend is open to anyone regardless of age or experience. A $75 registration fee includes seven meals throughout the weekend, gifts from Startup Weekend global sponsors and a chance to compete for a prize package valued at more than $1,700. Register at www.santafe.startupweekend.org or contact Sean O’Shea at 424-1140, or email soshea@sfbi.net.

The incubator has already helped more than 125 companies create some 1,000 jobs.

It takes a homebuilder: The Santa Fe Association of Home Builders has been front and center in establishing the new Academy of Sustainability Education at Santa Fe High School.

Now that the program is up and running, it is looking for those with building or trade skills to volunteer.

More than 160 students have signed up for the program, which is housed in the south campus of Santa Fe High.

The kickoff for those who want to get involved is 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the high school gym as part of a larger districtwide volunteer fair. It is open to not just volunteers but anyone who wants to come and learn about the program, including parents and students. Program head Dana Richards as well as Superintendent Joel Boyd are expected to be on hand “The Project-Based Learning pathways underway at the Academy need people with experience in basic wood-working, home building, green trades, water harvesting, horticulture, landscaping, solar installations, sound studios, hydroponics, and public policy on sustainability issues. Both on-campus and off-campus volunteer opportunities are available,” the Home Builders said in a statement.

Liability, strategy concerns help business owners pick structure

T

he form a new business should take isn’t always obvious.

Though many self-employed entrepreneurs begin as sole proprietors, an individual can structure her business in many other ways. The best structure is the one that fits her business’s strategy and size and offers the greatest protection from liability and taxes.

Flying solo A sole proprietorship, the simplest business form, is logical for many startups or solo professionals, such as consultants, private investigators or freelance writers. In a sole proprietorship, the business is not separate from the owner and business income and losses are included on personal tax returns.

A sole proprietor often has little overhead, and personal assets are used

in the business. He operates under his own name or creates a “doing business as” moniker. Because the sole proprietor is personally responsible for all his business’s debts and liabilities, he might want to incorporate or become a limited liability company to protect his assets.

A sole proprietor rarely has to do more than obtain a business license and gross receipts tax number, but his business type might require registration with licensing authorities.

Choosing partners Some solo entrepreneurs evolve into partnerships, LLCs or corporations to limit liability, expand opportunities or attract investors. It takes at least two people to form a partnership, and the arrangement can be general

— with each partner’s actions binding the entire group — or limited, where the general partner runs the business and the limited partner receives returns but is silent and powerless in business matters.

All gains and losses go directly to individual partners in proportions agreed to in the partnership agreement.

Partnerships can be simple arrangements between two or more people, or they can be more formal combinations.

Going corporate Both corporations and LLCs offer owners limited protection from business debts and liabilities, and both are autonomous legal entities.

LLC owners are called members.

They can run the business or hire managers to run it. A member-man-

aged LLC resembles a partnership; a manager-run LLC mimics a corporation. Most states require an LLC to have an operating agreement that states the organization’s membership and management structure. The LLC isn’t required to issue membership shares, hold meetings or record decisions but it is advisable to do so to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.

Oversight is much stricter for corporations; they must register with the state, adopt bylaws, issue shares to equity holders/owners, hold shareholder meetings and file annual reports, among other requirements.

Shareholders don’t manage the corporation’s affairs or bear personal responsibility for the business’s obligations; they vote for directors who hire managers to fulfill these tasks.

C corporations pay taxes on the corporation’s earnings, and their shareholders are individually taxed on dividends. If the business qualifies, it can elect S corporation status, avoiding corporate taxes and passing losses or gains directly to shareholders. The rules for organizing as an S corporation are strict, however, and not all businesses qualify.

For more information, visit www.

FinanceNewMexico.org. Given the complex considerations involved in starting or expanding a business, entrepreneurs should consult a lawyer or accountant when choosing a structure that offers the greatest advantage.

LOOKING IN: MICHELLE GULLETT

The desert and the dweller enjoy the rain

B

eneath the darkening sky, I lie with the New Mexican desert in silence.

The sun, having baked the earth with rays of gold, retires for the night. The earth breathes out with gratitude, but knows the day will return. It always does.

In the sunset’s wake, the earth and I sense an approaching gift. Shadows cast by the fading light disappear into the dusk as a covering of clouds blankets the sky. I’ve known this feeling before. My breath shortens. My ears prick up. They’ve learned to sense the slightest sound of droplets pattering as precious rain hits the sides of the house. Soon, the desert and I will know if the night is to bring us such luck. Soon, we might feel the touch of rain come to wash away the dust and fill the cracks of the overheated ground.

Soon, we will be nourished.

Scarce moments resonate within me, a desert dweller. As I lie twisted in the covers of my bed, rain soaks the earth, offering a scent that puts me at ease. My body relaxes; the muscles unwind. I smell the land’s history, the stories and legends of my beloved Placitas. The smell of earth is the smell of life. The Sandias watch as temptations of sleep echo with the drops of rain against my glass windows. My mind drifts, entering a private sanctuary. My ears detect cars, drivers careful not to skid across the slippery, winding village roads.

From an open window, a breeze drifts into the room. The tip of my nose — the only inch of my body above the covers — senses the fresh mountain air. I breathe deeply. The coolness of the air is delicious, and I wonder if I ever will wean myself

away from my old addiction. The rain falls hard; a climax on the cusp of existence.

Our love for rain is undying, but I sense its end. The desert sighs, understanding that an old friend has not come to stay. We detach from time, detach from ourselves.

But the departure is no matter to us. The rainfall brings us sleep.

As residents of the rift valley, we are unaccustomed to rain. Our tumbleweed kingdom gets nearly 15 inches of rain annually, hardly enough to keep crops growing, rivers fed and souls content. But when the clouds grow dark, the people of Placitas stop to look toward the sky. They know what’s coming.

Michelle Gullett is a high school student who lives in Placitas.

For whatever reason, the mother was feeling great fear of the officer, and being shot at proved her right. New Mexico needs tourists of all races to feel at home here. This makes us look like Idaho.

Dems blame Martinez for loss of Tesla plant to Nevada, Sept. 4 When you are competing with other regional states including California, you better have a strategy to compete. Not sure about the strategy, but the bottom line here is we failed as a state to attract Tesla. Instead of exerting energy and blame as to why we were unsuccessful, let’s use this as a learning opportunity. What were the reasons that attracted Tesla to Nevada, and not New Mexico and other states? Let’s look at it from a business perspective: What were the factors considered and those that were attractive enough to hook Tesla? The blame game has become quite boring.” J.V.

I am even surprised that he knew as much as he did in this day and age. How many adults even know the right verse? He messed up, he apologized and plans on fixing it. I would say, at 15, he did a great job and shouldn’t let this stop him from singing again next year.

We [adults] should be so vocal when it comes to the 15-year-olds addicted to drugs, drinking, stealing.

Probably should lay off the 15-year-old who made a little mistake.” A.L. If you forget the words … just hum the part you can’t say the words to.

Daniel Pearl in Pakistan (2002) and Nick Berg in Iraq (2004). Did Bush make a statement after those killings? Maybe that was when he was filmed at the golf course, pre teeoff, saying, ‘I call upon all nations, to do everything they can to stop these terrorists killers. Now watch this drive.’ Maybe not. In your case, pearl clutchers gotta cluck and catch-as-catch-can.” P.S.

LOOKING IN: HEATH HAUSSAMEN

COMMENTARY: LAWRENCE DOWNES

Please, keep elected officials off board of sunshine group

Reporter delved into the border

A

lbuquerque school board member Martin Esquivel resigned a long-held position with an important sunshine group last month. While I respect his 20-year service to the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, I can’t say I’m sorry to see him go.

More importantly, I hope FOG keeps elected officials off its board in the future.

As I wrote last year in a column calling for FOG to become insurgent, “Government officials shouldn’t oversee a group that holds government officials Heath Haussamen accountable.”

Esquivel disagreed with me at the time, but a muddy situation he found himself in recently illustrates my point.

Members of the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to accept Superintendent Winston Brooks’ resignation and to pay him $350,000 on the way out the door. The school district refused to release an investigative report into what was called a “serious personnel issue” related to Brooks’ resignation. Esquivel said he couldn’t talk with the Albuquerque Journal about the situation.

So FOG filed a formal request for the investigative report and related documents. The organization also issued a news release in which FOG President Kathi Bearden said the public deserved to know why Brooks resigned and why APS spent money to end his contract early.

The problem is this: Esquivel was a member of a governmental board refusing to disclose the report to the public while also on the board of an organization advocating for the report’s release to the public.

The two are irreconcilable.

As a group that advocates for greater transparency, FOG must challenge government secrecy regardless of political affiliation, ideology, funding or personal ties.

Esquivel’s dual status put FOG in a prickly situation.

Esquivel said he resigned for fam-

Government officials can’t police themselves, or we’d have a Legislature that actually held its members accountable for misdeeds. ily and work reasons, and remains a dues-paying member of FOG. But he admitted that FOG’s news release on the Brooks situation upset him. He specifically complained about FOG calling into question a requirement that the state’s Public Education Department approve the settlement agreement, which FOG said the department should have no authority to do without the investigative report being made public.

In his resignation letter, Esquivel accused FOG of lobbying Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera “about the approval of the APS settlement” and wrote that such a move is “highly unusual.”

That’s not really what FOG’s release states. Esquivel is making a leap. Perhaps that’s understandable given his position as a member of a governmental board that is trying to keep the report secret.

Which is exactly the point.

FOG’s job is to shine light on government. Government officials can’t police themselves, or we’d have a Legislature that actually held its members accountable for misdeeds. Because government officials have an inherent conflict when they try to hold their own accountable, FOG’s board shouldn’t include elected officials.

The FOG board should implement a policy codifying that.

A

s a 1916 book about “the newspaper trade” put it, the reporter’s job is “to see for the unseeing and to become a public observer for the benefit of those who cannot observe.”

Charles Bowden, who died Aug. 30 in New Mexico at age 69, fit the bill. He spent his childhood in Tucson, Ariz., and wrote for The Tucson Citizen, and applied the skills of the old and troubled art of newspapering within the boundary region where Mexico bleeds into the United States. He is best known for deeply researched books about the borderland drug war and its many slaughters, including Down by the River, Murder City and Dreamland.

To read his work about Ciudad Juárez is to be awash in evil. But it is also to see the story from within, and to set aside obscuring myths and abstractions about Charles immigration, development and Bowden globalization.

In Bowden’s world, even plants seemed grim. Mesquite, he writes, is “almost unnoticed with its low scraggly form, a kind of derelict tree sitting on the curb of our world clutching a brown paper bag and a bottle.”

He captured the details as well as the despair. In Exodus/Éxodo: “Consider this: you get up at 5 a.m.

You live in a one-room shack and pay $59 a month in rent. Your address is on the outskirts of the world’s second largest megalopolis, Mexico City.

You share this shack with your woman, a niece and your child. At 5:30 a.m. you’re on the bus, a ninetyminute ride for $2.45 a day roundtrip. You work in a tortilla shop for $1.64 an hour, eleven hours a day, six days a week. … You never save a cent, and when someone in your family becomes ill, you cannot afford medicine. … You will never take a vacation or see any future that is different from all the days you have known. But somehow a brother, a cousin, a friend will go to the United States and you will hear of life there.”

What he did for migrants and assassins, he also did for wolves, gila monsters and pronghorn antelopes. In a lush photo book about the Sonoran Desert, he framed the environmentalist plea this way: “We are at the crucial moment in the commission of a crime. Our hand is on the knife, the knife is at the victim’s throat. We are trained to kill. We are trained to turn the earth to account, to use it, market it, make money off it. To take it for granted.

Logically, we will never be able to reverse this part of our culture in enough time to stop that knife in our hand. But that is the task at hand — to cease this act of violence.”

What he wrote could be hard to read, but whatever a reporter writes is never worse than what people do. Bowden was committed to witnessing the world, and lacked the ability the rest of us have to look away.

OPINIONS

The West’s oldest newspaper, founded 1849 Robin M. Martin Owner

COMMENTARY: ALEXANDRA PETRI

Don’t blame victims of online hacking

T

here are two schools of thought when it comes to the massive theft of celebrity nudes that has been lighting up certain darker corners of the Internet. One of them is wrong.

Comedian Ricky Gervais tweeted: “Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on your computer.”

Ricky, you were great in Muppets Most Wanted, but this is wrong.

This whole story of the Hack That Found Everyone’s Nude Photos is, yes, certainly a story about privacy, celebrity, consent and the security of online accounts. But it is just as much about what it’s like to grow up on the Internet.

The list of celebrities whose pictures were stolen by online creeps is telling: With a few exceptions, they are all female and young enough to have come of age online. The few who have said the pictures were authentic — including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton — definitely fall into this category.

The Internet is where we keep our stuff. Good, bad and neutral — it’s all there, either shared with friends or kept between ourselves and our dearest Facebook advertisers and data harvesters. It’s where we keep our lists of ideas, our pictures and our music libraries. It’s a living room, a library and a rogues’ gallery of everyone we’ve ever met that we can access from our pants pockets, sometimes by mistake.

For as long as we’ve had Facebook, folks of Gervais’ vintage have been reminding us, with all the smugness of people whose misspent youths could be documented by nothing more quick, portable and permanent than

OUR VIEW

But will it be on the test?

I a Polaroid camera, that the Internet was like drinking with an elephant: It would remember everything.

“Don’t put anything online you don’t want potential employers to see,” they kept saying, as though the Internet were not the only place we might feasibly put anything.

This is a terrible standard.

We millennials have ignored it, reasoning that there is enough online from each of us that destruction is mutually assured. Between old pages from MySpace and LiveJournal and bad untagged pictures, there is no one whose Web history, if broadcast, would not mortify the world. We all know this, and so we decide not to make this our standard.

The alternative is stultifying.

But this does not stop the wagging fingers.

The situation of this hack is obviously different in several major ways: The iCloud is private, not public. These pictures were stolen. They were

not willingly posted. This kind of hack is not the average experience — celebrities were explicitly targeted.

But it’s this same frustrating principle: It’s on you not to do anything that might get taken out of context and blasted across the Internet, not on others to respect your right to a private life — or admit that a celebrity can have a private life at all. It’s the abolition of context. It’s the idea that your mysterious Future Employer deserves to go tearing through pictures of you at high school parties when you had that unfortunate hair, and you can never say, “Well, I think that Future Employer should stop being creepy and mind his own business.”

Those who don’t live public lives still experience some variant of this: The one tweet when the whole Internet turns to point at you and you lose your job. Or the one picture that gets pulled from your Facebook page when you

make the news and gets used to demonstrate that you’re not an honor student but a thug.

We need this to stop.

The solution is not to abolish context. This is some people’s conclusion: No nude photos — ever. Nothing that you wouldn’t want everyone to see.

Well, one of the joys of life is that you can do things that you don’t want to share with the world. If you are nude while showering, or in your living room, and someone takes photos of you with a long-range lens, he is the pervert, not you. The same standard should apply here. The answer is not to stop doing things that could be taken out of context.

Ricky Gervais and anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong. It is a shame that someone violated the privacy of these celebrities. It is not a shame that these pictures exist.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Display reflected police militarization

I

n early August, my wife and I went downtown to listen to music. In walking to the Plaza, we were faced with a military-like exhibition of equipment used by our city police department, county sheriff’s office and New Mexico State Police. All I can say is “wow.” What are they expecting? An invasion of some sort? This kind of show of force was worthy of war preparation.

I have great respect for public servants and presence of the unknown faced by our law enforcement officers is a reality, but this was scary. We have all read about New Mexico police shootings of citizens and other confrontations: Jeanette Anaya, who was shot and killed on Camino Carlos Rey by a state police officer; the physical confrontation between Dawn Bourgeois, taxi driver, and a city policy officer; and the shooting at the van driven by Oriana Farrell with her children near Taos. After seeing that show of military weaponry, it is understandable why we are seeing so much violence on the part of law enforcement in the state and in the nation.

Give him a break I am astonished at how mean-hearted some people are in response to Adan Gallegos’ mistake in singing the national anthem (“Teen apologizes for botched anthem,” Sept. 5). He’s 15 years old! He meant no disrespect, and after reading

how full his day was, plus how much he volunteers for the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe, he deserves an apology from those quick-to-judge Santa Feans.

Outsider art There’s a wonderful opportunity to see art rarely shown in our town. In a nearly hidden space at 333 Montezuma Ave. are works by Southern outsider artists Thornton Dial and Lonnie Holley.

Both have been exhibited in numerous museums across the country. Dial’s bold canvases and Holley’s whimsical foundobject sculptures will vie for your attention. For a change-of-art pace, run, don’t walk to this exhibit before it’s too late.

Object to statement Thank you for the great article (“Scientists say N.M. forests are changing,” Aug. 31), but I object to one statement in it.

The article states “Because of human intervention, coniferous forests across the Southwest are denser and more overgrown than in the past.” Perhaps what it meant to say more accurately is “because of European-settler intervention… .” Humans have always intervened, but previously in ways that improved the forest.

MALLARD FILLMORE

Section editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com, Twitter @inezrussell

Natives intervened by starting fires at regular intervals. Then the American government began punishing Natives for their traditional “human intervention” and enforced the damaging Smokey Bearstyle practices instead. It is not human intervention in forest ecology, per se, that has caused overgrowth.

To say only that “human intervention” caused this, without qualifying which humans, either implies that Natives were not human, or ignores that human intervention also prevented forest overgrowth.

Updated operas Duane Roller’s column, (“Operas stray off course,” My View, Aug. 31) was highly critical of The Santa Fe Opera’s presentation of several “updated” operas. Every major opera company, including the New York Metropolitan, will take liberties with a “classic” opera and update it.

Some of the most enjoyable operas I have experienced in Santa Fe have been such presentations, with absolute genius involved in adjusting the storyline to more contemporary times.

I sincerely hope that The Santa Fe Opera never attempts to present Aida, as Roller will be unhappy when the company is unable to bring elephants on stage, as was done in the original presentation.

n response to questions about how much time public school students actually spend taking standardized tests, administrators in the Santa Fe Public Schools have come up with an answer. Turns out, according to Richard Bowman, the district’s chief information and strategy officer, students can spend anywhere from 6 to 15.5 hours taking the mandated tests over the course of a school year. For some students, depending on the circumstances, the number of hours could be as high as 19.5 hours.

Trouble with those numbers is that they don’t tell the whole story. For one thing, Bowman’s study does not include college prep tests taken in high school — the ACT, SAT and Advanced Placement tests. Many are taken on a Saturday, but in some schools, practice exams happen in school. More importantly, the study doesn’t go far enough to show the effects of testing on the instructional day.

(Knowing Bowman’s ability to measure and quantify, we’d be surprised if he doesn’t go deeper to assess more complete results. He’s quite thorough when doing an investigation, especially one as important as this one.)

Right off the bat, there is some good news. We should be glad that in Santa Fe, schools haven’t gone completely crazy over testing. Some urban districts are forcing students into as many as 20 to 50 hours of testing each year.

That’s so much time spent testing that there obviously isn’t enough time left for time on task — actually learning the subjects that are on the tests.

Of course, student progress must be measured. But what was once a routine part of the school year, taking a day or two at most, has exploded into a process that seems more directed at making money for test companies than ensuring that students are learning. Because the stakes are so high — teacher pay, school grades, federal grants and so much more can be tied to these tests — the hours spent testing are just a fraction of the impact on the school day.

Take that 15.5-hour figure, for example. Depending on how those hours are split, a school could spend one week on testing over five days. That’s not a huge chunk of the year. Schools, though, tend not to test on Mondays or Fridays because of absences. Right there, the 15 hours goes over two weeks at least. Then there is the time spent practicing, doing make-up tests and otherwise making sure everyone participates. It’s not uncommon to lose a month to testing frenzy, whatever the numbers say.

The biggest impact from testing, though, is what happens to learning. Teachers say they are having to teach to the test, which can limit critical thinking. In elementary school, test anxiety among adults can mean non-test subjects such as science and social studies get short shrift.

There also are worries about whether the tests adequately reflect what is going on in the classroom. As schools integrate new curriculum, it is important to ensure that what is being tested was actually taught.

To discuss the state of testing, NEA-New Mexico and NEA-Santa Fe are hosting a community forum, “Toxic Testing and Its Impact on Students & Teaching,” from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 2007 Botulph Road. It’s clear from the title that forum sponsors have their minds made up, but we trust that the open forum will be just that — truly open, with ideas to improve what is happening in schools and build on what is working.

What is clear from the outcry from families and many teachers is that the current testing regime — in New Mexico and the nation — has gone overboard. Perhaps the situation is not so extreme as testing critics claim, but it’s bad enough. All who care about education should look for reform that is less about tests, and more about learning.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Sept. 9, 1964: The state health department said today it has confirmed cases of western encephalitis in horses in three more areas of New Mexico. The latest laboratory confirmed cases are in Clayton, Las Vegas and Albuquerque. Earlier, cases in horses were confirmed in the Clovis, Hobbs, Artesia and Roswell areas.

LONDON rince George is not going to be an only child for long — the toddler will soon have a baby sister or brother to share his fancy digs at Kensington Palace.

British royal officials said Monday that Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton, are expecting their second child.

Once again, Kate is being treated for acute morning sickness in the early phases of her pregnancy. The first time she was so ill she required hospitalization.

Now she is being treated by doctors at her residence in Kensington Palace. She canceled a planned engagement in Oxford to rest and receive medical care.

Prince William told wellwishers in Oxford that Kate should be over the worst of her symptoms in a few weeks.

He repeatedly thanked people for congratulating him and said Kate was disappointed she could not travel.

“She wishes she could be here,” he said.

“She’s feeling OK, thanks.

It’s been a tricky few days — week or so — but obviously we’re basically thrilled, it’s great news, and early days.

We’re hoping things settle down and she feels a bit better.”

The new baby, boy or girl, will become fourth in line to

the throne, pushing Prince Harry to fifth. George, who is 13 months old, is third and likely to become Britain’s monarch one day. William is second in line, while his father, Prince Charles, is first.

Britain had changed its laws before George’s birth so that the couple’s first born would be in line for the throne regardless of its sex. Before the change, a girl would have lost her place in line if a boy was born later.

William and Kate have often expressed an interest in having a larger family.

The royal couple and their families are “delighted” with the baby news, said officials at Clarence House, the couple’s office. The announcement follows months of speculation in the glossy British and American press about a possible baby brother or sister for George.

After hospital treatment for severe morning sickness, hyperemesis gravidarum, Kate recovered and gave birth to George in July 2013 without further complications.

The current illness means the 32-year-old duchess may need extra hydration, medication and nutrients.

Britain’s Press Association news agency reported that Kate’s pregnancy hasn’t passed the 12-week stage, which is when she became ill in her first pregnancy.

Prime Minister David Cameron said he was “delighted by the happy news that they’re expecting another baby.”

Respiratory illness hits hundreds of children 900 cases treated in Denver area

By Lindsey Tanner The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Hundreds of children in more than 10 states have been sickened by a severe respiratory illness that public health officials say may be caused by an uncommon virus similar to the germ that causes the common cold.

Nearly 500 children have been treated at one hospital alone — Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, Mo., and some required intensive care, according to authorities.

The suspected germ, enterovirus 68, is an uncommon strain of a very common family of viruses that typically hit in the summertime.

The virus can cause mild coldlike symptoms including runny noses, coughing and wheezing, but Mark Pallansch, director of the viral diseases division at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said this summer’s cases are unusually severe and include serious breathing problems.

“It’s not highly unusual, but we’re trying to understand what happened this year in terms of these noticeable and much larger clusters of severe respiratory disease,” Pallansch said Monday.

The virus typically causes illness lasting about a week and most children recover with no lasting problems.

Cases have been confirmed

in Missouri and Illinois. The CDC said it is testing to see if the virus caused respiratory illnesses reported in children in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma and Utah. The states’ tally changes as specimens are confirmed or test negative.

Children with asthma and other health problems are especially at risk for the enterovirus, but reported cases include children without asthma who have developed asthmalike breathing problems, Pallansch said.

The CDC’s Dr. Anne Schuchat said at a Monday news briefing the strain involved also appeared in the United States last year.

She said the CDC learned it had reappeared last month when authorities in Chicago and Kansas City notified the agency.

In the Denver area, more than 900 children were treated for severe respiratory illnesses at Children’s Hospital Colorado and its urgent care locations and 86 were hospitalized in recent weeks. Spokeswoman Melissa Vizcarra said Monday that CDC had confirmed the virus in 19 of 25 samples from her hospital.

The virus can spread through sneezing and experts say good hand-washing practices are important to curb transmission.

“The take-home point is wash your hands and keep your hands away from your face,” Wolfson said.

Ravens cut Ray Rice after release of video League indefinitely suspends running back

BALTIMORE — Ray Rice was let go by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after a video was released showing the running back striking his then-fiancée in February.

The grainy video, released by TMZ Sports, shows Rice and Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer,

now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2.

Earlier Monday, the Ravens said they never saw the new video. Hours later, they sent out a oneRay Rice sentence release: “The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of RB Ray Rice this afternoon.”

Coach John Harbaugh said he met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, team president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome after they saw the video, and they made the decision to let Rice go.

“It’s something we saw for the first

time today, all of us,” Harbaugh said.

“It changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different.”

The action represented a complete reversal for the team, even though an Atlantic City police summons stated that Rice caused “bodily injury to Janay Palmer, specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious.”

The Ravens had used words like “respect” and “proud” in referring to Rice following his arrest.

When the NFL announced Rice’s two-game suspension for domestic violence on July 24, Newsome said: “We respect the efforts Ray has made to become the best partner and father he can be. That night was not typical of the Ray Rice we know and

respect. We believe that he will not let that one night define who he is, and he is determined to make sure something like this never happens again.”

In late July, Harbaugh said, “The thing I appreciate about it is how Ray has handled it afterward by acknowledging it was wrong and he’ll do everything he can do to make it right. That’s what you ask for when someone does a wrong thing. So, I’m proud of him for that.”

Asked Monday night if Rice misled him, Harbaugh said he didn’t want to get into “all that.”

“I don’t think of it that way. Everything I said in terms of what I believe,

Roaring success

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Marin Cilic was barred from last year’s U.S. Open during a doping suspension he still says was unjust.

Unable to compete, he watched the tournament on TV from his home in Croatia, while using the forced time away from the tour to improve under the tutelage of new coach Goran Ivanisevic.

Now, 12 months later, look at Cilic.

“Seems completely unreal,” he said, “to be called ‘Grand Slam champion.’ ” The 14th-seeded Cilic won his first major final Monday, beating 10thseeded Kei Nishikori of Japan 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 at the U.S. Open by using 17 aces and the rebuilt game and confidence instilled by Ivanisevic.

“This is a second chance he got,” Ivanisevic said, referring to Cilic’s four-month ban in 2013, “and now he can just go forward and forward.”

Cilic earned a $3 million winner’s check and will rise to No. 9 from his pre-U.S. Open ranking of No. 16, which made him the first man from outside the top 10 to win a Grand Slam title in a decade.

“This,” Cilic said, “is [from] all the hard work in these last several years — and especially this last year.”

Penn State’s ban lifted 2 years early Sanctions stem from Sandusky scandal

By Ralph D. Russo and Mark Scolforo The Associated Press

Penn State is back in the bowl business.

The NCAA on Monday lifted the on-the-field sanctions placed on the Penn State football team for the Jerry Sandusky scandal, including immediately eliminating the postseason ban that had two more seasons left and restoring scholarships next season.

Penn State was halfway through a four-year postseason ban handed down during the summer of 2012.

The NCAA rescinded some of the scholarship sanctions last year.

In a news release, the NCAA said that in addition to the postseason ban being lifted, Penn State will be allowed to have the full complement of football scholarships in 2015.

The school still must pay a $60 million fine, and 111 wins under Joe Paterno plus one under Tom Bradley remain vacated. The school will remain under monitoring.

The decision by the NCAA’s Executive Committee followed a recommendation by former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, whose second annual report as Penn State’s athletics integrity monitor concluded the university was in compliance with a 2012 agreement and consent decree.

“Senator Mitchell’s report and

DETROIT atthew Stafford was at his best when improvising — and that alone may be a sign of improvement.

Stafford threw two early touchdown passes to Calvin Johnson, and Detroit beat the New York Giants 35-14 on Monday night in Jim Caldwell’s first game as the Lions’ coach. It was

a bright start for the Lions and their quarterback after the team collapsed down the stretch in 2013 — in part because of Stafford’s turnovers.

“I don’t work on my moves a lot during practice, but I know I have to be better with my feet this year so that we can keep plays alive,” Stafford said.

“On both of the touchdown passes to Calvin, the offensive line got me a lot of time, and he was able to uncover himself and find somewhere open.”

The Lions intercepted Eli Manning twice in their first Monday night opener since 1971. Stafford went 22 of 32 for 346 yards, and Johnson had seven catches for 164 yards.

Manning was 18 of 33 for 163 yards and a touchdown for the Giants, who started 0-6 last season and never led in their 2014 opener.

“No excuses. We played very poorly,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “We don’t have a lot to be proud of here. Couldn’t move the ball, couldn’t stop them, turned the ball over, got into that business again. Got a punt blocked, so you name it. It was a nightmare performance.”

Civil rights leaders to meet with Hawks officials

By Ray Henry The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Hawks officials agreed Monday to meet with civil rights leaders after a team owner disclosed that he wrote a racially charged email theorizing that black fans kept white fans away.

The Rev. Markel Hutchins said he and others wanted a chance to discuss what they think is a racist attitude permeating the entire organization.

“Evidently the culture of racism and bigotry that is pervasive and ever-present in the Atlanta Hawks leadership is embarrassing to the city of Atlanta and undermines the very

best of Atlanta’s history of race relations and being a leader for the nation and the world,” Hutchins said during a news conference outside Philips Bruce Arena, where the Levenson team plays.

Team officials said they expected to meet in the next two days, though details were still being worked out Monday.

“I want to hear what people have to say, and I want to address their concerns,” Hawks CEO Steve Koonin said.

Sports editor: James Barron, 986-3045, jbarron@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Eric J. Hedlund, ehedlund@sfnewmexican.com

Hutchins and others were responding to an announcement Sunday that team co-owner Bruce Levenson would sell his controlling interest in the team, thanks in part to an inflammatory email he wrote two years ago. Levenson said he wrote the email to the team’s co-owners and general manager Danny Ferry in an attempt “to bridge Atlanta’s racial sports divide.”

Levenson said he voluntarily reported the email in July to the NBA, which pressured Clippers owner Donald Sterling to sell his team after he was recorded making racially charged comments. Steve Ballmer became the team’s new owner Aug. 12.

The players’ union issued a statement Monday saying they are also following developments closely.

“We’ve had continuing discussions with the league office about the incidents of disturbing statements attributed to representatives of the Atlanta Hawks’ franchise,” said Ron Klempner, acting executive director of the NBPA. “We recognize that there is an ongoing investigation regarding the circumstances, and we will continue to monitor these events and take any action we deem appropriate.”

PREP ROUNDUP

Prep boys rebound, shut out Taos SCOREBOARD The New Mexican

After losing a heartbreaker to Las Cruces in overtime Saturday, the Santa Fe Preparatory boys soccer team rebounded with a resounding 5-0 S.F. Prep 5 win over Taos in a nondistrict soccer match Taos 0 Monday at home.

After a scoreless first half, five different Blue Griffins (5-2) found nylon in the second half. Sophomore Sam Brill started things off with a goal in the 43rd minute and Patrick Boyd capped off the scoring with a goal in the 72nd minute.

Prep freshman Logan Sullivan currently leads all classifications with 14 goals, but head coach Hersch Wilson said his team likes to spread the wealth when they surround an opponent’s goal.

“Part of it is the shape we play on the

field,” Wilson said. “We’re being unselfish in front of the net. It took us a half to spread out and composure in front of the net, but once we scored, it kept happening.”

Prep goalkeeper Ian Andersson had a relatively easy day with four saves against the Tigers (5-2).

DESERT ACADEMY 5, POJOAQUE VALLEY 1 The score doesn’t tell the story of how well the Elks played, according to Desert Academy coach Rob Lochner.

Pojoaque (1-4) kept the Wildcats (3-0) to one goal in the first half of a nondistrict soccer match at Alto Park, but Desert Academy found its groove with three goals in a 20-minute span.

“I was a little surprised,” Lochner said.

“They came out scrappy against us.”

The Elks avoided the shutout with a goal in the 73rd minute, but Desert Academy

answered it a minute later with a goal from Guru Dev Khalsa, his second of the day.

Desert Academy keeps rolling with a home match against Santa Fe High on Tuesday.

“We tried some new stuff in the second game, but then we went back,” said St. Michael’s head coach Steve Long.

Lainie Serna helped St. Michael’s rebound with 11 service points in the third game with go with 24 assists on the day. Allie Berhost and Latysha Archuleta each had 15 kills while Danielle Trujillo added 10.

Open: Unusually short, lopsided final game Continued from Page B-1 becoming the first man from Asia to win a major singles championship.

“Tennis has not been our biggest sport in Japan,” Nishikori said. “Hopefully I can win next time.”

There hadn’t been a matchup between players making their Grand Slam final debuts at the U.S. Open since 1997.

Lopsided and lasting less than two hours, this hardly qualified as a classic. It had been 40 years since a U.S. Open men’s runner-up failed to win at least four games in any set of the final.

“Both of us were pretty nervous in the first set, especially,” Cilic acknowledged.

Cilic won the last 10 sets he played in the tournament, including three against 17-time major champion Roger Federer in the semifinals, and three against 2010 Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych in the quarterfinals.

Nishikori stunned No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals, so this was the first Grand Slam final since the 2005 Australian Open without Djokovic, Federer or Rafael Nadal, who won the U.S. Open in 2013 but is sidelined now by a wrist injury. That trio had won 34 of the past 38 major titles, but this was the second of this season that eluded them.

Some, including Cilic, had seen Stan Wawrinka’s victory at the Australian Open in January as an indication that the next tier — Cilic calls them “the guys from second line” — was about to get a crack at the hardware.

Cilic tested positive for a stimulant at a tournament in Germany in May 2013. The International Tennis Federation initially sought a two-year punishment; Cilic wound up with a much shorter suspension on appeal. He said he ingested the substance unintentionally via a glucose tablet bought at a pharmacy and says the process that

led to his penalty “wouldn’t be fair to any tennis player.”

But he looks on the bright side.

“I just used the positive parts, which, you know, made me tougher,” Cilic said.

Plus, it was last September that he connected with the only other man from Croatia to win a major, 2001 Wimbledon champion Ivanisevic.

“Any Croatian knows where he was at that time,” said Cilic, who was 12 and at summer camp.

Ivanisevic insisted the biggest change for Cilic is being more relaxed on court.

“He didn’t learn how to play tennis in this year,” Ivanisevic said. “He always knew how to play tennis.”

The 6-foot-6 Cilic, who is 25, and the 5-10 Nishikori, 24, each works with a guy with a major championship: Michael Chang is one of Nishikori’s two coaches.

The Arthur Ashe Stadium artificial lights were on and

the stands were mostly empty when the players walked out to the court at 5 p.m. — which was 6 a.m. in Japan, but did not prevent folks there from gathering to watch on TV. There wasn’t much to cheer for.

Cilic won 19 of his last 20 service points in the opening set.

The biggest problem for Nishikori, really, was there were not many extended groundstroke exchanges — and when there were, he tended to lose them.

He was off, whether because of the wind, the accumulated fatigue from a pair of fourhour-plus victories over No. 3 Wawrinka and No. 5 Milos Raonic, or perhaps knowing what was at stake for him, his country and his continent.

Nishikori admitted feeling jitters early and getting “a little bit lazy.”

Cilic wound up with twice as many winners, 38-19.

“I guess Kei didn’t feel it today,” said Dante Bottini, who helps Chang coach Nishikori.

Ban: NCAA’s penalties were unprecedented Continued from Page B-1 recommendations, along with the actions taken by the NCAA today, are a recognition of the hard work of many over the past two years to make Penn State a stronger institution,” said Penn State President Eric Barron. “This is welcome news for the university community, particularly for our current and future student-athletes.”

Mitchell said the school had made progress toward implementing a new human resources system, “fostering an ethical culture” and improving security at its sports facilities.

“While each of these projects will require sustained effort, the work remains on track, and Penn State’s commitment to completing these projects is apparent,” wrote Mitchell. He said his own five-year oversight role, scheduled to continue to 2017, may end earlier as a result of the progress that has been made.

Mitchell said his recommendation was focused on aspects of the penalties that affect student-athletes, many of whom stayed at Penn State despite the ability to transfer without penalty.

“Many Penn State football players demonstrated loyalty by remaining at their university for two years without the prospect of playing in a postseason game,” Mitchell wrote. “In light of Penn State’s

responsiveness to its obligations and the many improvements it has instituted, I believe these student-athletes should have the opportunity to play in the post-season should they earn it on the field this year.”

His 58-page report said incidents involving the football team this year included two student-athletes who allegedly refused to leave a fraternity party when asked, alleged harassment of a parking officer who ticketed illegally parked mopeds, and the son of a team official practicing at a school facility in violation of university rules.

In State College, junior kinesiology major Daniel Zambanini said seeing the news on a television screen gave him a moment of shock.

“The sanctions kind of held the Sandusky scandal like it was a big black cloud that hung over the university because every year, every time they mentioned Penn State, they mentioned the sanctions,” Zambanini said.

He said removal of the postseason ban “just takes that weight off our shoulders and you can kind of just be Penn State once more.”

Security risk analysis major Dylan O’Brien, a senior, said that after the last three years, a trip to a bowl game sounded appealing.

“It was a pretty dark time because it

was only a couple months after we started school” as freshmen, O’Brien said. “A lot of people had second thoughts about being here but a lot of people stuck through it.”

“Penn State’s commitment to the integrity of its athletics department and its progress toward meeting the requirements of the Consent Decree are clear,” said Northern Arizona President Rita Hartung Cheng, who chaired Monday’s Executive Committee meeting. “We thank Senator Mitchell for his meticulous and exhaustive work over the past two years.”

The penalties against Penn State were unprecedented in many ways and not wellreceived by many in college sports because of that. While the NCAA cited lack of institutional control, Penn State’s missteps had nothing to do with competition and the areas that usually fall under the NCAA’s jurisdiction.

“The biggest problem I had was the effect on the student athletes in the program,” said former Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, who worked in NCAA enforcement during the 1980s, including on the SMU football case that led to the program being given the death penalty. “They [Penn State’s players] weren’t involved in a program that was cheating against their rivals and now all of sudden they’re not able to participate in postseason. That to me was the most challenging part of it.”

Hawks: League investigation is ongoing Continued from Page B-1 see all team operations for the Hawks.

Silver said the league’s independent investigation of Levenson’s email was ongoing when he was told Saturday night of Levenson’s plan to sell his share of the team. Silver said Levenson’s comments were “entirely unacceptable and are in stark contrast to the core principles of the National Basketball Association.”

Silver said he commended Levenson for self-reporting the email and “for putting the best interests of the Hawks, the Atlanta community, and the NBA first” by announcing plans to sell his share of the team.

In the email sent in August

2012, Levenson gave his theory for why he said 70 percent of Hawks crowds were black.

“My theory is that the black crowd scared away the whites and there are simply not enough affluent black fans to build a significant season ticket base,” Levenson said.

“Please don’t get me wrong.

There was nothing threatening going on in the arena back then. I never felt uncomfortable, but I think southern whites simply were not comfortable being in an arena or at a bar where they were in the minority.”

Levenson noted the team’s cheerleaders were black and hip-hop music was played.

On Sunday, Levenson said

his observations were “inflammatory nonsense.”

“I’m truly embarrassed by my words in that email, and I apologize to the members of the Hawks family and all of our fans,” Levenson said.

Koonin could not be reached for additional comment on Monday. Ferry also could not be reached for comment.

In Atlanta, the Rev. Gerald Durley told reporters that the team’s bigger problem was its lack of success, not the race of its fans.

“Who would come with a team that’s not winning? You’ve got to understand the market if you’re talking about business,” said Durley, who suggested that black fans could boycott games

if they felt unwanted.

Atlanta famously branded itself as “The City Too Busy To Hate,” during the Civil Rights movement, but the city’s race history is complex. Hutchins said Levenson might be correct in suggesting whites are reluctant to mingle with blacks.

Hawks fan Gerald Perriman, 27, said he was initially angered by Levenson’s email, then developed more mixed feelings.

“He’s being somewhat honest,” said Perriman, who has a white mother and a black father. “I can believe white people are uncomfortable being in a minority, maybe in the arena.”

Lobos head basketball coach Neal gets $5.7M, six-year contract ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico men’s basketball coach Craig Neal has agreed to a new six-year, $5.7 million contract after leading the Lobos to the NCAA Tournament in his first season at the helm, the school announced Monday.

Neal, who took over after Steve Alford left for UCLA before last season, was already under contract through 2020, so the deal doesn’t extend the length but is “essentially” a pay increase, New Mexico athletics spokesman Matt Ensor said.

Neal led New Mexico to a 27-7 record last year and is the first coach to lead the Lobos to the NCAA Tournament in his first season.

“This means a lot to me and our program,” Neal said.

“I’ve received tremendous support from our administration, university and fans in my first year as head coach. It all reaffirmed to me that The University of New Mexico is where I want to spend my career.”

Athletic director Paul Krebs said Craig has done an exemplary job in his short time as head coach.

“It became even more apparent to me over the offseason that Craig is well-respected nationally in the basketball community,” Krebs said. “After watching him manage a national program, recruit high-caliber student-athletes and solidify himself as a top coach in nation, I felt it was vital to ensure his place as head basketball coach at The University of New Mexico for years to come.”

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Tigers close gap to 1 with win over Royals The Associated Press

DETROIT — Torii Hunter had two of his three hits in a six-run third inning and the Detroit Tigers 9 Tigers beat Kansas City Royals 5 9-5 Monday to move within a game of the American League Centralleading Royals.

Justin Verlander (13-12) allowed four runs and six hits in seven innings, walking one and striking out four for Detroit, which moved into a tie with Seattle for the second AL wild card.

Nick Castellanos had two hits with two runs scored and two RBIs for the Tigers. Victor Martinez had three hits three hits and an RBI, and Hunter scored twice and drove in a run.

Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie (10-11) allowed eight runs — six earned — and 10 hits in 2⅔ innings. Guthrie has given up 14 earned runs in his last 6⅔ innings against Detroit.

Lorenzo Cain hit an insidethe-park home run for Kansas City in the seventh inning. Eric Hosmer had three hits with an RBI for the Royals.

The Tigers six-run third featured Martinez’s infield RBI single, run-scoring doubles

by Don Kelly and Alex Avila, a two-run double by Castellanos and Hunter’s run-scoring single. It was Hunter’s second hit of the inning.

Detroit tied a season high with eight hits in the third. The last time it happened was in the fifth inning July 10 at Kansas City, a 16-4 win. That inning was also started by Guthrie.

WHITE SOX 5, ATHLETICS 4 (12 INNINGS) In Chicago, Tyler Flowers hit a solo home run to tie the game in the ninth inning and then another in the 12th to give the White Sox a victory over Oakland.

Flowers ended the game with a shot off of Jesse Chavez (8-8) over the left-field fence with one out in the 12th for the first winning homer of his career. The White Sox were a strike away from a loss when Flowers connected against Eric O’Flaherty in the ninth. Oakland closer Sean Doolittle was unavailable because of an intercostal strain.

Javy Guerra (2-3) pitched two scoreless innings for the victory.

Oakland lost for the ninth time in 11 games but remained atop the AL wild-card race.

ORIOLES 4, RED SOX 0 In Boston, Nelson Cruz had a pair of hits and Miguel Gonzalez took a shutout into the seventh inning as Baltimore opened a double-digit lead in the AL East with a shutout victory over the Red Sox. The Orioles lead the division by 10 games, and the secondplace New York Yankees have 21 games to play. Baltimore’s previous double-digit lead in the division was in 1979.

Gonzalez (9-7) allowed six hits and three walks while striking out four in 6⅓ innings. He has allowed just four earned runs in his last 34⅔ innings over five starts, winning four of them. Steve Pearce also had two hits for Baltimore, which has won nine of its last 12 games.

Joe Kelly (1-2) allowed three earned runs, six hits and three walks in 6⅓ innings. He also hit two batters, and struck out six.

ANGELS 12, INDIANS 3 In Cleveland, Jered Weaver became the AL’s first 16-game winner, and Los Angeles did all their damage against Danny Salazar in one inning for their fifth straight win over the Indians in a makeup game.

Albert Pujols hit a threerun homer in the ninth for the Angels, who hit four homers and are a major league- best 88-55.

Weaver (16-8) allowed three runs and six hits in six innings.

The steady right-hander improved to 7-1 in 11 career starts at Progressive Field.

Kole Calhoun hit a two-run homer and David Freese had a three-run shot in the fifth off Salazar (6-7), who shut out Detroit last week and had not given up a run in 21 consecutive innings.

Los Angeles has won 20 of 26 and leads the AL West by 7½ games.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL Sept. 9

1914 — George Davis of the Boston Braves pitched a 7-0 no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies in the second game of a doubleheader. Davis’ no-hitter was the first thrown at Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. 1922 — Baby Doll Jacobson hit three triples to lead the St. Louis Browns to a 16-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

1936 — The New York Yankees clinched their eighth American League pennant with a doubleheader sweep of the Cleveland Indians, 11-3 and 12-9. The Yankees finished 191/2 games ahead of the Detroit Tigers for the largest margin in team history.

1945 — Dick Fowler of the Philadelphia Athletics pitched a 1-0 no-hitter against the St. Louis Browns in the second game of a doubleheader.

1948 — Rex Barney of the Brooklyn Dodgers pitched a 2-0 no-hit victory against the New York Giants on a rainy day at the Polo Grounds.

1965 — Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers tossed his fourth no-hitter, a perfect game, against the Chicago Cubs. Koufax fanned 14 in the 1-0 victory while Cubs pitcher Bob Hendley allowed one hit — a double by Lou Johnson.

1987 — Nolan Ryan struck out 16 to pass 4,500 for his career as the Houston Astros beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2. Ryan struck out 12 of the final 13 batters and fanned Mike Aldrete to complete the seventh for his 4,500th strikeout.

Cardinals extend their surge, beat Reds The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Matt Carpenter broke a scoreless tie with his two-run single in the seventh inning, Matt Adams added a Cardinals 5 three-run homer, and the St. Louis Reds 0 Cardinals extended their surge in the NL Central by beating the Cincinnati Reds 5-0 on Monday night.

St. Louis has won nine of 10, going from two games out to a season-high 4½ games up in the division. The Cardinals are 10-3 against the Reds this season and 40-24 against the NL Central overall.

Shelby Miller (9-9) gave up three hits while pitching into the eighth and getting his first victory in three starts against Cincinnati this season. Two relievers finished the three-hitter.

Carpenter’s single off Manny Parra (0-3) left Cincinnati’s bullpen 0-14 since the All-Star break, part of Cincinnati’s 16-33 slide over that time. The Reds have dropped eight of their last 10 and fallen 10 games under .500 for the first time since 2009.

MARLINS 6, BREWERS 4 In Milwaukee, Giancarlo Stanton hit his NL-leading 37th home run of the season, tying the Marlins record for career homers, and Miami beat the reeling Brewers.

Stanton, who also leads the league with 105 RBIs, matched Dan Uggla’s team mark with 154 homers.

Marcell Ozuna and Garrett Jones added back-to-back shots for Miami, which won consecutive games for the first time since a three-game streak from Aug. 16-19.

Milwaukee lost for the 12th time in 13 games.

Brad Penny (2-1) worked a seasonhigh six innings, and the right-hander allowed two earned runs, four hits, three walks and struck out one batter.

Steve Cishek pitched the ninth for his 33rd save.

Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo (8-9) allowed five earned runs and nine hits in 3⅔ innings.

METS 3, ROCKIES 2 In New York, Curtis Granderson hit a tying triple off former-Met LaTroy Hawkins and scored two pitches later on Wilmer Flores’ sacrifice fly, giving the Mets a win that stopped Colorado’s

four-game winning streak.

After Lucas Duda’s RBI double in the first, Jordan Lyles, Tommy Kahnle, Brooks Brown and Christian Friedrich pitched shutout ball through the eighth.

Travis d’Arnaud doubled leading off the ninth against Hawkins (3-3), who blew a save for the third time in 25 chances.

Granderson’s triple past right fielder Charlie Blackmon scored pinch-runner Eric Young Jr. Granderson then scored easily ahead of Drew Stubbs’ off-line throw on Flores’ fly to center.

Carlos Torres (7-5) pitched a perfect ninth for the Mets, who wore camouflage jerseys as they started a 10-game homestand.

NATIONALS 2 BRAVES 1 In Washington, Doug Fister pitched seven shutout innings, leading the Nationals to a victory over Atlanta in the opener of a three-game series between the top teams in the NL East.

Adam LaRoche had two hits, and Ian Desmond and Anthony Rendon each drove in a run for Washington, which increased its division lead over Atlanta to eight games.

Atlanta began play trailing the Pirates by a half-game for the second NL wild card.

Fister (13-6) had lost three straight starts, but Monday night he regained the form that made him one of Washington’s most reliable starters.

He allowed two singles and three walks, struck out three and retired 13 of 14 during one stretch.

Drew Storen struck out the side in the ninth for his second save in two days.

Mike Minor (6-10) allowed two runs and seven hits in six-plus innings for the Braves.

INTERLEAGUE BLUE JAYS 8, CUBS 0 In Toronto, Marcus Stroman pitched a three-hitter for his first complete game, in 18 career major league starts, and Jose Bautista hit a three-run homer for the Blue Jays in a shutout win over Chicago.

Stroman (10-5) struck out eight and walked none, improving to 3-0 with a 1.19 ERA in his past three starts. Chicago was shut out for the 15th time this season, second in the NL behind San Diego’s 18.

Bautista hit his 200th homer for Toronto, a two-out drive in the fifth off Jacob Turner (5-9) that was his eighth home run in 12 games.

Denver’s D thwarts Colts’ comeback

Hendrick, Penske and Harvick gearing up for Chase

By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

DENVER — After riding shotgun to Peyton Manning’s high-octane offense all of last year, Denver’s defense had the five-time MVP’s back for once.

Rookie Bradley Roby broke up Andrew Luck’s fourth-down pass to Reggie Wayne just after the 2-minute warning Sunday night, preserving Denver’s 31-24 nail-biter over the Indianapolis Colts.

“We said we’ve got to make a play to win the game,” Roby said. “We can’t rely on the offense. It’s on us.”

The Broncos were clinging to the last wisps of what seemed like a safe 24-0 lead when the first-round draft pick from Ohio State sliced in front of Wayne to knock away Luck’s pinpoint pass.

“I kind of felt like they were going to come at me, just being a rookie, going against their best receiver,” Roby said. “He kind of got me off the line, but just thankfully, I was able to recover and make the play at the end.”

On the sideline, Manning and tight end Julius Thomas, who hooked up for three first-half touchdowns, cheered.

“Thank goodness our defense came up with some big stops,” said Manning.

He blamed the second-half sloppiness on opening night jitters.

GM John Elway spent more than $100 million on a defensive makeover in the offseason, trying to toughen up his team after its Super Bowl shellacking at the hands of Seattle. Then, he grabbed Roby in

the first round of the draft. Add in several starters who were returning from injuries and Denver’s defense spent all summer trying to develop a new, nasty identity.

Although Luck engineered four second-half scoring drives, the Broncos, who watched footage of the old “Orange Crush” defense during the week, had their moments.

Denver’s defense came up with two big stops deep in its territory during a third quarter dominated

by Indy. On fourth down at the 1, Marshall stuffed Luck’s run up the middle. Then, when the Colts had a first down inside the 5, the Broncos held them to Adam Vinatieri’s 25-yard field goal following DeMarcus Ware’s third-down sack.

49ers D up to challenge in win over Cowboys

By Schuyler Dixon The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Patrick Willis and the rest of the San Francisco defense were fine without a couple of key players, at least for the opener against Dallas.

The 49ers scored on the second play on Chris Culliver’s 35-yard fumble return and gave Colin Kaepernick the ball at the Dallas 2 on one of three interceptions of Tony Romo before halftime in a 28-17 win over the sloppy Cowboys on Sunday.

For all the talk about Aldon Smith’s nine-game suspension over off-the-field issues and fellow linebacker NaVorro Bowman being out until midseason because of a knee injury, the defense looked a lot like the units that helped carry the 49ers to three straight NFC championship games.

“Everyone that’s been talking about our defense, about how we won’t be as good and what not, I don’t get caught up in all that,” said Willis, a linebacker who picked off a pass intended for Jason Witten in the San Francisco end zone. “The only thing that matters to me is how we perform on the field on game day with whoever is on the field.”

Defensive tackle Ray McDonald was among those on the field a week after he was arrested in a domestic violence case, which came within days of Commissioner Roger Goodell announcing stiffer penalties in such instances.

The 49ers have said they believe the facts support allowing McDonald to play while the legal process plays out.

All this after the team waited all summer to find out how long Smith would be banned following his most recent run-in with the law — an arrest at Los Angeles International Airport for being uncooperative with TSA agents and telling them he had a bomb.

“There’s been a lot of rhetoric,” said coach Jim Harbaugh, who improved to 4-0 in season openers. “This game was about steel in the spine. When it comes to 49er players, that’s where they excel.”

After Culliver picked up a loose ball stripped from DeMarco Murray and ran untouched for a score, safety Eric Reid returned Romo’s first interception 48 yards to the Dallas 2, setting up Kaepernick’s second scoring toss to Vernon Davis on the next play.

Things to know after the 49ers built a 28-3 halftime and held on from there: Ragged Romo: Romo looked like a quarterback who was

limited in the offseason and training camp, not a good start for a team trying to avoid tying a franchise record with a fifth straight year Tony Romo of missing the playoffs.

He didn’t see Reid on a throw to Dez Bryant, then didn’t see wide-open receiver Dwayne Harris for what would have been an easy touchdown. Instead he forced the pass that Willis intercepted.

“I felt comfortable,” said Romo, who threw for 281 yards and a late touchdown but had his first three-interception game since losing a winner-take-all finale against Washington in 2012. “Just couple poor decisions that I made tonight.”

Kaepernick clicked early: It didn’t take Kaepernick long to put that rough preseason behind him, leading the 49ers 80 yards in just three plays on their first possession. He stepped out of an ankle tackle by Jeremy Mincey and threw 29 yards on the run to Davis, who juggled the ball as the crossed the goal line before holding on for a 14-3 lead.

The 49ers also had an efficient drive in their 2-minute offense to finish the first half, with Kaepernick throwing for 39 yards leading to Carlos Hyde’s 4-yard scoring run. Kaepernick was 16 of 23 for 201 yards without an interception.

Sea of red: When Romo wasn’t throwing interceptions, the Dallas offense was getting false-start penalties and using timeouts to avoid delay-of-game penalties. Part of the problem was the noise from large swaths of red-clad 49ers fans seeing their team for the first time in the regular season in the $1.2 billion home of the Cowboys. “I noticed that,” Harbaugh said of the crowd. “Much appreciated. Means a lot.”

On the run: Murray bounced back from the fumble on his first carry of the season to get 71 yards in the first quarter and 118 with a touchdown for the game. The 49ers’ Frank Gore had 63 yards, becoming the 29th NFL player with 10,000 for his career.

He’s also the 10th player with 10,000 yards and 10 seasons with the same team.

The receiving end: Davis, who had four catches for 44 yards, now has 53 receiving touchdowns, most of the NFL since 2009, playoffs included.

Detroit WR Calvin Johnson, who plays Monday night, has 52.

Anquan Boldin led all receivers with 99 yards.

Bryant stayed down for several moments after Reid’s interception return and later was treated for dehydration. He had four catches for 55 yards.

what, it was a great opener,” said DeMarcus Ware, who had 1½ sacks in his Denver debut after franchisehigh 117 in nine seasons in Dallas.

Brandon Marshall, filling in for Danny Trevathan (leg), led the team with nine tackles in his first NFL start, and Roby tied newcomer Aqib Talib with three pass breakups.

“At the end of the day, we made the right play at the right time,” said Rahim Moore, who had a careerbest two interceptions in his first game since undergoing emergency surgery on his left calf in November.

Other takeaways from Denver’s win, which snapped a six-game skid against the Colts: Thomas’ trio: Thomas beat a linebacker on each of his first two TDs, outmuscling one on a 3-yard crossing route and outracing

another on a 35-yard TD. Then, he slipped inside the safety for his third score, which tied Shannon Sharpe’s franchise record for TDs by a tight end in a game.

“Something I pride myself on is being ready for man coverage,” Thomas said. “It’s like backyard football with your little brother or cousins. I don’t believe you should be covered 1-on-1.”

Welker’s suspension: With the game’s premier slot receiver, Wes Welker, serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs, the Broncos couldn’t convert third downs, going 1 for 7 in the second half after a first half in which they went 6 of 7.

“We’ve got to find a way to play all four quarters as an offense,” Manning said. “Thank goodness the defense picked us up when the offense wasn’t doing their job quite as well.”

Fox said he never found himself wishing he had Welker in certain situations.

“To be honest with you, it never crossed my mind,” he said.

Momentum changer: Luck’s 9-yard scamper into the end zone with 19 seconds left in the first half not only got the Colts on the board by halftime but it turned the tide.

“We did manage to take advantage of some opportunities in the second half that we didn’t in the first,” Luck said. “It was good to get that two-minute drive right at the end of the half.”

A 24-point deficit proved one touchdown too many, though.

“Obviously, when you start the way that we started, you dig yourself a hole you can’t come back from,” Colts coach Chuck Pagano said.

Success: QB Stafford’s improvisation improves Continued from Page B-1 to Johnson on the game’s first drive, and defensive backs Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Stevie Brown appeared to collide. Nobody else on the Giants was anywhere near Detroit’s star receiver, who was able to jog into the end zone for a 67-yard touchdown.

Later in the first, Stafford scrambled to his left, and then threw back to his right. Johnson made a diving catch in the back of the end zone for a 16-yard TD and a 14-0 lead.

“When Matt breaks the pocket, I know I have to keep working, because he can put the ball anywhere on the field,” Johnson said.

“We worked out together a lot during the offseason, and we did a lot of footwork drills. You can see that it is paying off for him. He’s making moves.”

Stafford’s two touchdown passes came on what looked like broken plays, and so did his 5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. He scrambled up the middle on that one and cut to his left to avoid a potential tackler.

The Giants also missed the playoffs last season, thanks mostly to that terrible start. They were eager

to begin on a better note against the Lions, but barely five minutes into the game, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul went down with a neck injury. He was able to walk off the field, but he was taken in for X-rays.

Pierre-Paul was back in the game in the second quarter.

The Giants revamped their secondary in the offseason, but Stafford took advantage of a couple big breakdowns. In the third quarter, he found Golden Tate for a 44-yard gain on third-and-11, which led to a field goal.

Detroit’s secondary, meanwhile, looked solid despite an injury that kept newly acquired safety James Ihedigbo out of the game. Glover Quin’s interception in the third helped set up Stafford’s touchdown run that made it 27-7.

Johnson tied Herman Moore’s team record with his 107th straight game with a catch. He was banged up down the stretch last season, and Stafford struggled with turnovers as a playoff berth slipped away.

Caldwell’s hiring was in many ways viewed as an attempt to help Stafford take another step forward.

The former No. 1 overall draft pick completed his first six passes Monday. Stafford went 14 of 17 for 212 yards in the first half.

Rice: NFL claims it had not seen latest video Continued from Page B-1 I stand by,” he said. “I believe that still, and I’ll always believe those things, and [we’ll] always stand in support of them as a couple, and that’s not going to change.”

Rice said in a news conference this summer that his actions that night were “inexcusable.” But the Ravens never took action against him until after the second video was released.

The NFL, which has been working hard to promote the game to women, also took action after the explicit video was released. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that, based on the new video evidence, Rice has been suspended indefinitely.

“We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday morning. “That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today.”

Goodell indicated as much on Aug. 1 when during the Pro Football Hall of Fame induction weekend.

“When we’re going through the process of evaluating the issue and whether there will be discipline, you look at all of the facts that you have available to us,” Goodell said. “Law

enforcement normally has more … information, facts, than we have.

We’ll get as much as we possibly can.”

Rice’s lawyer, Michael Diamondstein, declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press.

Rice, 27, stood to make $4 million this year.

“Obviously, any video that depicts an act of violence in that video is disturbing to watch. For our union, we have an unshakable position against any violence, certainly domestic violence included,” NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said at the Seahawks’ facility in Renton, Washington. “It will be a time for us now to catch up with everything else that has occurred today.”

He had been charged with felony aggravated assault in the case, but in May he was accepted into a pretrial intervention program that allowed him to avoid jail time and could lead to the charge being purged from his record.

Rice began his suspension Sunday, when the Ravens opened their season with a 23-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was scheduled to return after Thursday night’s game against Pittsburgh.

He leaves the Ravens as the second-leading rusher in franchise history, behind only Jamal Lewis.

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. win in the season-opening Daytona 500 guaranteed Dale Earnhardt Jr. a spot in NASCAR’s title race. It also allowed his Hendrick Motorsports team to live in the moment on the race track and not get hung up on results.

The 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup championship is here and the laissez-faire attitude must go. A loaded championship field means there’s little room for error in NASCAR’s new elimination format.

“Well, we’ve been sort of on a vacation for 20 weeks. It’s time to get to it,” Earnhardt said after the “regular-season” finale at Richmond. “But as a company, I don’t think we could be any more prepared than we are.”

Indeed, Hendrick Motorsports got all four of its cars into the Chase when Kasey Kahne snatched a berth with his win at Atlanta two weeks ago. They’ll go head-to-head with Team Penske, which has matched Hendrick all season in performance.

But not to be overlooked is Kevin Harvick, who has been one of the strongest cars in the field for 26 weeks. Harvick has pit crew issues that must be solved or he’ll have his hands full with the Hendrick and Penske drivers.

Here’s a look at the top teams in the 16-driver Chase field: Hendrick Motorsports: Jeff Gordon led the points race most of the year and combined with Earnhardt and defending champion Jimmie Johnson for nine victories in 26 races. All three drivers are three-time winners this season, and all have performed at a much higher level than Kahne, who was in danger of not even making the Chase before his win at Atlanta.

Gordon, who won his fourth title in 2001, is having a career resurgence and Earnhardt is desperately seeking his first Cup title. But Johnson wants ring No. 7, which would tie him with Hall of Famers Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt for most in NASCAR history.

Johnson had one of his typical summer swoons — he had only one top-10 finish in a six-week span — before snapping out of it in early August. He reeled off four consecutive top-10s the last month, but had a bout of dehydration following Saturday night’s race that left the triathlete puzzled.

“There’s something that went wrong today,” Johnson said after receiving five liters of intravenous fluids. “It could have been my own nutrition plan. I felt like I came in plenty hydrated.”

Earnhardt, Gordon and Johnson are expected to be contenders when the Chase opens Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. But it remains to be seen if one of the Hendrick drivers can separate himself from his teammates.

Team Penske: Brad Keselowski entered this season determined to prove he was not a one-year wonder in 2012 when he won his championship. He failed to make the Chase last season and was ineligible to defend his title, but came back this year to earn the top seed in the field.

He picked up his series-best fourth win of the year Saturday night at Richmond, where he humiliated the field by leading all but 17 of the 400 laps. Now Keselowski and teammate Joey Logano, a three-race winner this year, are ready to go toe-totoe with the Hendrick heavyweights.

“He was down maybe last year, but came back this season. He’s been outstanding,” team owner Roger Penske said of Keselowski. “I give him a lot of credit because he’s pushing the team. He and Joey together, they’re working with each other, trying to find the speed in the cars.”

Many have believed all year the championship would come down to Hendrick vs. Penske, and Penske will have to show that its two-car organization can stand up against Hendrick.

Kevin Harvick: He’ll be joined in the Chase by Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt Busch, but Harvick has been the far superior driver at SHR this season.

Although he has only two wins to show for his speed, he’d led 1,186 laps and Johnson believes Harvick “should have north of eight wins” this season. One of the most glaring hiccups in his program is his pit crew, which is not at the same level as the other top contenders.

Harvick has lost valuable spots on pit road repeatedly this season, and said it’s up to SHR to fix the problem.

“Hopefully they have a plan as to what they think they need to do in the shop with the two teams in the Chase, but that’s not my department,” Harvick said.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Mother-in-law causes man stress Dear Annie: I cannot stand to be around my mother-in-law.

Since the day I married, “MIL” has been telling my wife and me how to live our lives. She issues opinions on everything from how to raise our dog and decorate our house to how to parent our baby.

We can’t go one visit without her making numerous suggestions.

I have discussed this with my wife many times to no avail. I don’t feel it is my place to set her mother straight. I’ve told my wife that unless she speaks to her mom about her need to run our lives, nothing will ever change How do I get my wife to understand that I don’t want to deal with this anymore? It stresses me out so much that I’m almost willing to end our marriage in order to get away from my mother-inlaw. Please help. — Frustrated in North Carolina Dear North Carolina: Mom needs better boundaries, but unless your wife agrees, you aren’t going to get anywhere. Please don’t grant your mother-in-law so much importance. She has opinions. You don’t have to take them seriously. Practice nodding and ignoring her. When she comes over, welcome her warmly and then leave the room. It’s the type of diplomacy that married couples have practiced for centuries. Your wife will appreciate your graciousness, and you’ll calm down.

Dear Annie: I have a friend — well, now she’s an ex-friend — who would go to a restaurant and, no matter what she ordered, ask for extra this, extra that. If they provided rolls, she would eat one and ask for more. She would ask for a doggie bag and load it with everything on the table. It was embarrassing. I once asked whether she was going to take the salt and pepper shakers, hoping she would get the hint. If I had leftovers on my plate, she would ask to take them. Once, when I left the table, she had the waiter take the potato skin from my plate and box it up. That was the last straw.

Her excuse was that she couldn’t waste food, but honestly, her dog needs my potato skin?

I refuse to be an enabler of this odd behavior, so I no longer go to restaurants with her. This woman never starved growing up. She has no money problems. She has a good job, owns her own home and has two cars.

Is this connected to hoarding?

She also has never invited me into her house. Whenever I picked her up, she was waiting outside.

She only has friends for a short while and then stops calling them, claiming they have mental problems. Why would she behave this way? — Odd Behavior Dear Odd: It’s possible your friend has a compulsive disorder that makes her take things from restaurants, and it could also tie in with her not wanting you to enter her home. It’s also possible she has financial problems or a gambling addiction or some other reason for needing table scraps.

We don’t know. But we do think your friend has issues she doesn’t want other people to be aware of, and when someone gets too close, she cuts off the friendship.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Lonely Mother,” who said her children married and stopped visiting.

I married three years ago. I, too, didn’t visit my parents very often after that marriage. Here’s why: I was raised to believe it was rude to invite myself over. So I’d call to say hi, but was politely waiting for an invitation that didn’t come.

A year after my marriage, my mother commented that I rarely visit. I told her I was waiting to be invited. She was stunned. She never considered that possibility because I am her daughter and am welcome anytime. Once this was cleared up, I started visiting more.

Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to move in a different direction, but you’ll want and need more feedback first. Tonight: Love the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Speak your mind, and don’t hold back. It will be clear that you have a different idea from someone else for how to handle a personal matter. Tonight: Hang out close to home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Continue monitoring your finances closely, as there could be a problem where you least expect one.

Tonight: Join a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You will be in your element. As a result, you’ll be able to pull back and see the big picture from various points of view. Know that you will find the right solution. Tonight: Your treat.
