A corporate hospital chain that charges the highest prices in the state for medical services, according to a recent analysis by The New Mexican, has agreed to repay nearly $100 million to the federal government over allegations that it inflated hospital admissions in a scheme to boost revenue.

The U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday that for-profit Community Health Systems Inc. will pay $98.15 million to end several federal lawsuits. The company is headquartered in Tennessee and operates the nation’s largest network of acute-care hospitals — with more than 200 facilities, including six in New Mexico.

The Justice Department accused the company of frequently billing Medicare, Medicaid and the U.S. military’s health system for unnecessary hospital admissions. A statement released by the department said the federal agencies were billed for costly inpatient services when a patient could

have been treated through lower-cost outpatient or observation services.

“From 2005 through 2010, CHS engaged in a corporate-driven scheme to increase inpatient admissions” of patients 65 and older who visited emergency rooms at 119 of the company’s hospitals, according to the statement.

Martinez wants to keep receiving public pension

Santa Fe County Assessor Domingo Martinez, who was termlimited from seeking re-election this year, may resign before his term expires in order to take a $100,000-a-year job as city manager of Española — a job for which he’s already taken the oath of office.

Martinez, 61, said he was supposed to start his new job Monday, contingent on a contract that would ensure he continues to collect the monthly public pension he receives on top of his salary.

Martinez, who is paid $69,000 a year as county assessor, receives a gross monthly pension of $2,776, according to the Public Employees Retirement Association.

Before he was elected Santa Fe County assessor in November 2006, Martinez served as state auditor for eight years. He also served as director of the Property Tax Division of the state Taxation and Revenue Department for eight years and as a rate analyst manager for the Insurance Department of the New Mexico State Corporation Commission.

“I’ve got to make sure that the contract that is solidified by the city [of Española] does not cause me to suspend my PERA pension,” he said Tuesday. “That’s one of the issues that we’re working around right now.”

And early retirements ended up costing more than $1 million, far more than the $600,000 projected, he said.

With the exception of the capital projects, the board had approved all the actions.

Overall, the school’s revenues of $32.6 million were outpaced by expenses of $36.2 million in fiscal year 2014, he said. In the previous five years, revenue exceeded expenses by anywhere from $400,000 to $2.7 million.

The college has an annual operating budget of about $35 million.

The financial stability plan approved by the board Tuesday includes a $5-per-credit tuition hike for students; salary reductions ranging from 2 percent for employees making $30,000 up to 8 percent for those earning more

KABUL, Afghanistan — An American major general was shot to death Tuesday in one of the bloodiest insider attacks of the long Afghanistan war when a gunman dressed as an Afghan soldier turned on allied troops, wounding about 15 including a German general and two Afghan generals.

The Army identified the American officer as Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, a 34-year veteran. An engineer by training, Greene was on his first deployment to a war zone and was involved in preparing Afghan forces for the time when U.S.-coalition troops leave at the end of this year.

He was the deputy commanding general, Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan.

Greene was the highest-ranked American officer killed in combat in the nation’s post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the highest-ranked officer killed in combat since 1970 in the Vietnam War. Five major generals were killed in Vietnam, the last Maj. Gen. John Albert Dillard, whose helicopter was shot down.

The attack at Marshal Fahim National Defense University underscored the tensions that persist as the U.S. combat role winds down in Afghanistan — and it wasn’t the only assault by an Afghan ally on coalition

Tuition increased, salaries reduced to trim expenses

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

anta Fe Community College on Tuesday announced some serious spending cuts to address an unexpected $5 million budget shortfall.

The plan, approved by the college’s Governing Board at a lateafternoon meeting, includes a tuition increase, salary decreases, a staff reduction and possible programs cutbacks.

Interim President Randy Grissom said he began looking into the 30-year-old school’s finances earlier this year and found “something was amiss. We don’t have enough cash to get us to the end of the year.”

Grissom said the problems began early in 2013 “under the previous administration,” referring to former

president Ana “Cha” Guzmán, who was fired in December 2013.

While he does not suspect fraud, he said, “inaccurate assumptions were made” about future revenue and anticipated savings. As a result, the college began drawing on its cash reserve, reducing it to nearly zero.

Grissom’s report to the board Tuesday cited numerous decisions that led to the shortfall, including overspending on capital projects, increasing full-time faculty pay by 3 percent, hiring 11 new full-time faculty, converting many employees from nine- or 10-month contracts to 12-month contracts, and overestimating savings from a piloted four-day workweek last summer.

For instance, Grissom said, the salary increases and 11 new hires added up to nearly $2.4 million in new costs in 2014.

Gay marriage issues flood fed courts Cases put pressure on justices for final verdict

unbroken eight-month streak of rulings in favor of gay marriage, that could make it easier for the nation’s highest court to come down on the side of supporters.

RED CERAMIC POPPIES SPILL FROM TOWER OF LONDON The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined Prince Harry on Tuesday to symbolically ‘plant’ poppies in the dry moat surrounding the Tower of London to honor the military dead. A blood-red sea of ceramic poppies is spilling from the tower to commemorate British and Commonwealth soldiers killed in World War I on the 100th anniversary of its start. The installation, called Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red, is at the moment made up of 120,000 ceramic poppies, a carpet of crimson. The red tide will widen in the coming months until there are 888,246 poppies — one for each of the British and Commonwealth soldiers killed in the war. JOHN STILLWELL/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In brief Russian hackers nab 1.2B passwords NEW YORK — A published report says Russian hackers have stolen 1.2 billion user names and passwords in a series of Internet heists affecting 420,000 websites.

The New York Times says the thievery was uncovered by Hold Security, a Milwaukee firm that has a history of sifting out online security breaches.

The identities of the websites that were broken into weren’t identified by the Times. The newspaper says nondisclosure agreements required Hold Security to keep some information confidential.

The reported break-in is the latest incident to raise doubts about the security measures that both big and small companies are using to protect people’s information online.

3 killed in shooting at Indiana business MONTICELLO, Ind. — Three people were found dead Tuesday in a shooting at a parking lot outside northern Indiana furniture plant, a sheriff said.

Authorities have not released the victims’ names or provided details on what happened in the shooting.

But White County Sheriff Patrick Shafer said authorities are not looking for a person of interest — an indication that authorities believe the shooter is among the dead.

Shafer said officers arrived Tuesday morning to find a man lying on the ground next to a car with what appeared to be a gunshot wound.

‘Gluten-free’ label standards kick in WASHINGTON — Starting Tuesday, “gluten-free” labels on packaged foods have real meaning.

Until now, the term “gluten-free” was unregulated, and manufacturers made their own decisions about what it means.

This new requirement is especially important for people who suffer from celiac disease and don’t absorb nutrients well. They can get sick from the gluten found in wheat and other cereal grains.

Under a rule announced a year ago, food manufacturers had until this week to ensure that anything labeled gluten-free contains less than 20 parts per million of gluten — ensuring that those products are technically free of wheat, rye and barley. That amount is generally recognized by the medical community to be low enough so that most people who have celiac disease won’t get sick if they eat it.

Cuba blasts ‘covert’ U.S. program WASHINGTON — The Cuban government on Tuesday called on Washington to halt hostile “covert” operations against it in the wake of the recent disclosure that an Obama administration program secretly sent young Latin Americans to Cuba on politically motivated missions.

people inside the parked car next to him, both with what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

Two men died at the scene outside Jordan Manufacturing Co. in Monticello and a woman was pronounced dead at a hospital, Shafer told the Lafayette Journal & Courier and WLFI-TV.

Josefina Vidal, said an Associated Press investigation this week reveals that the U.S. government “has not desisted in its hostile and interventionist plans against Cuba, which seek to create destabilizing situations to provoke changes in our political order.”

Vidal demanded the U.S. “cease, once and for all, all its subversive, illegal and covert actions against Cuba” in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. She noted the U.S. government has “shamelessly acknowledged” running the program.

The project, funded and overseen by the U.S. Agency for International Development, deployed nearly a dozen young people from Latin America to Cuba to recruit political activists under the guise of health and civic projects.

U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan As of Tuesday, at least 2,198 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count.

Gass Jr., of Lumber Bridge, North Carolina, died Aug. 3, in Jalalabad Air Field Hospital, Afghanistan, from a noncombat-related incident while on patrol that occurred in Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan; assigned to the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. u Boatswain’s Mate Seaman Yeshabel Villotcarrasco, 23, of Parma, Ohio, died as a result of a non-hostile incident June 19 aboard USS James E.

WASHINGTON — Three-term Republican Sen. Pat Roberts edged out Milton Wolf in Kansas’ primary Tuesday night as mainstream conservatives dealt another blow to the tea party movement. A GOP businessman swamped a first-term Michigan congressman, upending his re-election bid.

With 79 percent of the precincts reporting, Roberts held a 48 percent to 41 percent advantage over Wolf, a radiologist and distant cousin of President Barack Obama who had argued that the incumbent wasn’t conservative enough.

Tuesday also offered competitive primaries in Michigan, Missouri and Washington state.

Businessman and lawyer Dave Trott easily defeated Rep. Kerry Bentivolio, 66 percent to 34 percent, in Michigan’s 11th Congressional District, a reversal of the recent political order of tea partyers targeting an establishment favorite.

Bentivolio, a part-time reindeer rancher, was often described as the “accidental” congressman, as he was elected in 2012 when former Rep. Thaddeus McCotter turned in fraudulent voter signatures for a ballot spot. Bentivolio became the third House incumbent to lose in the primary, joining Republican Reps. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the former majority leader, and Ralph Hall of Texas on the House casualty list.

He was unapologetic in defeat.

“This is only the beginning battle to take back our country and take back our party from crony capitalists,” Bentivolio said in arguing that the status quo will have to change.

“I’ve seen behind the curtain and I know that the ideas of Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are winning,” he added.

In Kansas, Republican two-term Rep. Tim Huelskamp, who has frustrated GOP leadership and his rural constituents over his votes against the farm bill, defeated Alan LaPolice, a farmer and educator, in a close race.

The four-state primary day launched a crowded stretch with Tennessee on Thursday, Hawaii on Saturday and Connecticut, Minnesota and Wisconsin next week.

By month’s end, voters will decide the Republican Senate nominee in a competitive race against Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska and the Democratic primary between Hawaii Sen. Brian Schatz and Rep. Colleen Hanabusa.

Europe’s probe hits goal after 10-year pursuit

LONDON — Europe’s Rosetta spacecraft reaches its final destination Wednesday after a decade-long journey into deep space that aims to place the first lander on a comet.

Rosetta will begin orbiting the Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet to glean information about the mass of dirty ice, dust and gas, according to the European Space Agency, which launched the probe in 2004. In November, it’s due to send a smaller landing craft down onto the comet to take more measurements.

“This is the start of the real mission that Rosetta was built for — it’s the kickoff of the real science phase,” said Gerhard Schwehm, an ESA consultant and manager of the mission from its liftoff until he retired last year. “We’re at the comet and now starting to monitor it and study it in detail.”

Scientists hope to learn about the early evolution of the solar system by studying comets, which date back 4.6 billion years when the planets were forming. Researchers also are searching for organic molecules that represent the building blocks for life, which comets may have brought to Earth in its early years.

“It’ll help us to model better the evolution of the planets out of the pre-solar nebula,” Schwehm said by phone from ESA’s mission control in Darmstadt, Germany. “There will be a lot of information that helps us understand how processes worked and what happened 4½ billion years ago. It’s information from the infancy of our solar system.”

The Rosetta mission is the first attempt to orbit and land a probe on a comet. ESA’s first deep-space mission, Giotto, was sent to investigate Halley’s Comet in 1986. The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration has also launched two missions to study comets in the past 20 years.

Rosetta is due to perform a final slowing maneuver shortly after 11 a.m. Darmstadt time Wednesday.

That will place the craft in an initial triangular orbit about 60 miles from the comet, according to Schwehm.

Because signals from the spacecraft take more than 20 minutes to reach Earth, an announcement is likely about 11:30 a.m., he said.

Instruments aboard the orbiter and the lander will measure the chemical composition of the comet, its density and how strong the surface is. They’ll also monitor gases and dust ejected by the comet. The landing craft, Philae is due to land around Nov. 11.

It will be able to drill about 8 inches into the comet, Schwehm said.

Tentative cease-fire in Gaza Strip holds Israel, Hamas to negotiate new peace deal in Cairo

By Karin Laub and Maggie Michael The Associated Press

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The outlines of a solution for battered, blockaded Gaza are emerging after Tuesday’s tentative Israel-Hamas cease-fire: Norway is organizing a donor conference and Westernbacked Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas aims to oversee rebuilding and reassert his authority in the territory, lost to Hamas in 2007.

Forces loyal to Abbas would be deployed at Gaza’s crossings to encourage Israel and Egypt to lift the closure they imposed after the Hamas takeover.

Indirect Israel-Hamas talks in Cairo are to tackle the details.

The hope is that promises of a better life for Gazans will coax compromise and avert what had been looking like a fight to the finish.

The gaps remain wide, especially between Israel and Hamas.

Israel says it has inflicted a painful blow to Hamas’ military capabilities in the monthlong fighting and wants to make sure the group cannot re-arm if border restrictions are eased.

“The extent to which we are going to be ready to cooperate with the efforts to have better access and movement in Gaza will deeply depend on the kind of arrangements that would secure our peace and security,” said Yossi Kuperwasser, a senior official in

Israel’s Strategic Affairs Ministry.

Hamas, in turn, has signaled flexibility on ceding some authority to Abbas in Gaza, but insists on having a say on reconstruction and that it will not disarm.

Izzat Rishq, a senior Hamas official, said disarming isn’t up for discussion.

“We’d take the life of anyone who tries to take the weapons of resistance,” he told The Associated Press.

Despite such tough talk, Hamas is in a position of relative weakness.

The Islamic militant group’s fortunes changed dramatically last year after the Egyptian military deposed a Hamasfriendly government in Cairo and began

closing hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the Gaza-Egypt border.

The closures deprived Hamas of a key source of revenue — the taxation of goods brought through the tunnels — and prevented weapons and cash destined for Hamas from flowing into Gaza.

By this spring, Hamas was in such a severe financial crisis that it accepted a reconciliation deal with Abbas. Even before the war, Gaza was in bad shape because of the prolonged blockade.

Unemployment in the impoverished territory of 1.8 million people had risen well above 50 percent, in part because of Egypt’s tunnel closures.

Only half of Gaza’s electricity needs were being met, and the closure prevented most Gaza residents from travel.

After four weeks of intensive fighting, including close to 5,000 Israeli strikes on Gaza targets, the devastation is widespread.

According to initial figures from Gaza’s main U.N. aid agency, some 10,000 homes were destroyed or damaged beyond repair.

Gaza’s only power plant was forced to shut down last week after being shelled by Israel, and repairs will take months, Gaza officials said.

One of the hardest-hit areas was the southern town of Rafah, where intense shelling over the weekend appeared to have spared little.

The truce is to remain in effect for at least three days, with an expectation that it will be extended to allow Cairo talks on a Gaza solution to proceed.

Both the United States and the U.N. are sending representatives.

U.N.: Impact dire on kids in Gaza GENEVA — As a 72-hour cease-fire took hold in the Gaza Strip, a U.N. official said Tuesday that Israel’s nearly monthlong offensive against Hamas, the militant Islamist organization that runs Gaza, had had a “catastrophic and tragic impact” on children in the territory and that reconstruction would require many hundreds of millions of dollars.

The conflict has killed 408 children and injured

appeal to businesses.

The continent is home to six of the world’s fastest-growing economies and a rapidly expanding middle class with increased spending power.

“I want Africans buying more American products and I want Americans buying more African products,” Obama said during closing remarks at the meeting session.

The conference brought together U.S. and African politi-

cians and business leaders.

The U.S. is hardly alone in seeing economic potential in Africa.

China, Europe and India moving aggressively to tap into Africa’s growing markets.

The forum is part of threeday summit with nearly 50 African heads of state in attendance.

Afghan: Gunman fired shots randomly Continued from Page A-1 forces on Tuesday. In eastern Paktia province, an Afghan police guard exchanged fire with NATO troops near the governor’s office, provincial police said. The guard was killed in the gunfight.

It wasn’t clear if the two incidents were linked, and police said they were investigating.

Early indications suggested the Afghan gunman who killed the American general was inside a building and fired indiscriminately from a window at the people gathered outside, the U.S. official said. There was no indication that Greene was specifically targeted, said a U.S. official. The official was not authorized to speak publicly by name about the incident and provided the information only on condition of anonymity.

The wounded included a German brigadier general and two Afghan generals, officials said.

One of the officials said that of the estimated 15 wounded, about half were Americans, several of them in serious condition.

U.S. officials still asserted confidence in their partnership with the Afghan military, which appears to be holding its own against the Taliban but will soon be operating independently once most U.S.-led coalition forces leave at the end of the year. The Army’s chief of staff, Gen. Ray Odierno, issued a written statement Tuesday evening expressing condolences to Greene’s family and the families of the others injured in the attack.

“These soldiers were professionals, committed to the mission,” Odierno said. “It is their service and sacrifice that define us as an army. Our priority right now is to take care of the families, ensuring they have all the resources they need during this critical time.”

“We remain committed to our mission in Afghanistan and will continue to work with our Afghan partners to ensure the safety and security of all coalition soldiers and civilians,” he added.

The Iraq and Afghanistan wars have taken more than 6,700 U.S. lives.

Insider attacks rose sharply in 2012, with more than 60 coalition troops — mostly Americans — killed in 40-plus attacks that threatened to shatter all trust between Afghan and allied forces. U.S. commanders imposed a series of precautionary tactics, and the number of

such attacks declined sharply last year.

The White House said President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting. Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel both spoke with Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top U.S. general in Kabul, who said a joint U.S.Afghan investigation was underway and who assured his bosses he still had confidence in the Afghan military.

There are only a few U.S. generals in Afghanistan. The highest ranking among them is Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top commander of U.S. and coalition forces.

The Pentagon’s press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, said the general and other officials were on a routine visit to the military university on a base west of Kabul.

Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry, said a “terrorist in an army uniform” opened fire on both local and international troops. Azimi and U.S. officials said the shooter was killed.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid praised in a statement the “Afghan soldier” who carried out the attack. He did not claim the Taliban carried out the attack, although in the past the Taliban have encouraged such actions.

Such assaults are sometimes claimed by the Taliban insurgency as proof of their infiltration. Others are attributed to personal disputes or resentment

by Afghans who have soured on the continued international presence in their country more than a dozen years after the fall of the Taliban from power.

Mark Jacobson, a former NATO deputy civilian representative to Afghanistan and now a senior adviser at the Truman National Security Project, said the threat of Afghan troops turning their guns of their American partners is a serious problem.

“Any sort of insider attack, no matter who the victim is, is going to have an impact on the morale of soldiers,” Jacobson said, adding that when a higherranking officer is killed, “you might see a wider impact on morale.”

Foreign aid workers, contractors, journalists and other civilians in Afghanistan are increasingly becoming targets of violence as the U.S.-led military coalition continues a withdrawal to be complete by the end of the year.

SFCC: Tuition to increase in January Continued from Page A-1 than $100,000; the possible elimination of nonessential, nonacademic programs; and a 30 percent reduction in the supplies budget.

The salary reductions will begin the week of Aug. 25 — when students return to campus for the fall semester — while the tuition hike will begin in January 2015.

Santa Fe students currently pay $39.50 per credit hour.

Other, smaller cuts also are in the works, and it is unlikely that many of the 14 vacant full-time positions will be filled at the college, although Grissom said the school has to fill three key positions: vice president of finance, comptroller and human resources director.

The college plans to ask the state for a $3 million advance on the money it receives under the funding formula for colleges. It also plans to apply for a $500,000 loan from the state Board of Finance.

Assuming all these measures take effect and work, the college may be in a position to reinstate salaries to previous levels, Grissom told the board and about 50 audience members during Tuesday’s meeting. If not, further cuts could be coming, he said.

Grissom said the plan minimizes the impact on students.

But it will impact staff.

Jack Slentz, head of the Sculpture Department at the college, said since both he and his wife work at the community college and will both be taking 4 percent pay cuts, “It’s going to affect our family. … We’re going to face an 8 percent reduction.” But he expressed support for the board’s action, saying he believes it will put the college back on track by next summer.

A staff member, who asked to remain anonymous, said she wasn’t surprised: “They moved fast to give us a 3 percent increase last year, and now they’re basically taking it away.”

Miranda Merklein, an adjunct faculty member at the college, said some people on campus are “organizing the faculty to better our working conditions. … This will intensify this.” She blamed the financial situation on bad management.

Clark Baughan, chairman of the college’s faculty senate, said he thinks Grissom has “a workable solution.” He said he hopes everyone will pull together to support the plan, though “some people won’t be happy.”

The Governing Board appointed Guzmán in September 2012 at a salary of $196,000 a year plus benefits. Though she had her defenders, her roughly 18-month tenure was marked by tension and low morale. The board terminated her contract in December 2013 for what it called “just cause.”

Guzmán countered that she had been fired for exposing financial mismanagement and administrative waste on the campus. She filed a lawsuit under the state Whistleblower Protection Act. In March 2014, the board agreed to settle with Guzmán for $500,000. More than $360,000 of that came out of cash reserves, and the balance was covered by insurance.

The college’s board then named Grissom acting president, and later interim president. He earns about $170,000.

Though his pay will not be cut by the new measures, he said he will give up $30,000 in discretionary funds he receives as part of his compensation package.

On Tuesday, board President Linda Siegle said she and other board members did scrutinize Guzmán regarding finances, and they did look closely at the

budget. “We asked the right questions, but we did not get answers,” she said.

Speaking by phone Tuesday, Guzmán said all of those financial projections she shared with board were made by Meridee Walters, former vice president of finance and administration, who took an early retirement in 2013. But Siegle said Guzmán herself took over Walters’ duties when Walters retired.

Guzmán said the college is still “trying to damage me.”

“They could have fired me for no cause, paid me $230,000 and waved goodbye,” Guzmán said. “Every president has that clause — it’s the no-cause clause.

Instead, they fired me for cause and had to pay me $500,000 of hard-earned taxpayer money. In my experience, when decisions are made to damage people, that damage comes back on those people.

That’s what I believe is happening.”

About 4,750 students are currently enrolled at the community college for the fall semester, but college officials expect that number to grow to about 6,500 by the time the enrollment period ends.

rate of reimbursement for the 100 most common outpatient procedures and the 100 most common inpatient diagnoses.

The analysis showed the statewide average markup for outpatient services was 547 percent of the Medicare reimbursement rate. All six of the firm’s hospitals in New Mexico exceeded the state average, with Eastern New Mexico Medical Center leading the way at 894 percent. Three hospitals owned by the company topped 800 percent.

Five of the company’s six New Mexico hospitals exceeded the state average cost markup for inpatient care — at 223 percent of the Medicare rate of reimbursements.

Again, Eastern New Mexico Medical Center was the most expensive, with an average markup of 477 percent.

A spokeswoman for the Carlsbad Medical Center, above the state average for both inpatient and outpatient care costs, blamed the hospital’s elevated price tags on Medicare and Medicaid’s practice of underpaying hospitals for services.

On average, Medicare underpaid hospitals by between 5 percent and 6 percent of the actual costs of services in 2012, according to a report to Congress by the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission.

The corporate communications office for Community Health Systems did not respond Tuesday to a message seeking comments about its settlement with the federal government.

As part of the settlement, Community Health Systems entered a corporate integrity agreement with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Inspector General, which will monitor the company for compliance “in an effort to assure that the company’s fraudulent past is not its future,” said Inspector General Daniel Levinson.

Federal prosecutors chided the company for breaching legal and ethical boundaries by prioritizing money ahead of appropriate treatment for its patients.

“Health care providers should make treatment decisions based on patients’ medical needs, not profit margins,” said U.S. Attorney Anne Tompkins of the Western District of North Carolina, one of six states where Community Health Systems faced federal billing lawsuits. “We will not allow this type of misconduct to compromise the integrity of our health care system.”

Gay: Rulings could alter marriage laws Continued from Page A-1 Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, all Wednesday, the most of any federal appeals court so far.

Hundreds of gay marriage supporters rallied at a park near Cincinnati’s riverfront on the eve of Wednesday’s arguments, cheering and clapping as speakers urged equality for all.

signs calling for the freedom to marry, many said they just want to be treated like everyone else.

“We are the same as everyone else, and we have dreams like everyone else,” said Barry Schlaile, 60, of Kettering, Ohio, and New Orleans. He and his longtime partner, 70-year-old David Donovan, stressed their point with signs saying: “End our 37-year-engagement at the altar.”

Mason Gersh, a 19-year-old college student from Louisville, Ky., says he is hopeful that his state’s ban will be overturned.

“But the fight for equality doesn’t end with marriage,” said Gersh, who is gay. “There is also discrimination in areas like employment and housing, and there is much more that needs to be done.”

Many of those at Tuesday’s rally said they planned to rally

outside the courthouse on Wednesday.

Arguments similar to those set to be heard Wednesday will take place Aug. 26 in the 7th Circuit in Chicago, for bans in Wisconsin and Indiana, and for Sept. 8 in the 9th Circuit in San Francisco, for bans in Idaho and Nevada.

The 5th Circuit in New Orleans is expected to soon set a date to hear arguments on Texas’ ban.

It’s impossible to know whether the drug saved these workers, CDC Director Tom Frieden emphasized. “Every medicine has risks and benefits,� he said to reporters at a health symposium in Kentucky. “Until we do a study, we don’t know if it helps, if it hurts, or if it doesn’t make any difference.�

If the treatment works, it could create pressure to speed through testing and production to help contain the disease in Africa. There is no vaccine or specific treatment for Ebola, but several are under development, including ZMapp, made by

Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. It works by boosting the immune system’s efforts to fight the virus. The U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency announced last month that it is providing more funding to speed the drug’s development.

Brantly and Writebol were working at a missionary clinic outside Liberia’s capital. David Writebol remains in Liberia, where he said his wife’s care was extraordinary. “It’s not like having a nurse come in every hour to fluff up your pillow,� he said in his statement. “It’s more like going into a nuclear reactor.

Africans eat bush meat as main source of food The Washington Post

To the foreign eye, it looks like a flattened, blackened lump of unidentifiable animal parts. To many Africans, however, bush meat — the cooked, dried or smoked remains of a host of wild animals, from rats and bats to monkeys — is not only the food of their forefathers, it is life-sustaining protein where nutrition is scarce.

And as it has been during past Ebola

A-5

outbreaks, bush meat is again suspected to have been the bridge that caused the disease to go from animals to humans. All it takes is a single transmission event from animal to human — handling an uncooked bat with the virus — to create an epidemic.

Human-to-human contact then becomes the primary source of infection. “If you know that the Ebola virus is introduced in one area, it’s probably an extra good time to stop eating bush meat,�

said Daniel Bausch, an associate professor of tropical medicine at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine.

What is bush meat? It varies. It can be a chimpanzee, gorilla or monkey. It could also be a rat, deer or fruit bat. The animals come from the wild and are captured and sold for sustenance where other sources of protein from domesticated animals are scarce or prohibitively expensive.

The Gallup-Healthways survey is important because it combines the quick turnaround of media polls with extensive outreach usually seen in government research.

LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigerian health authorities acknowledged Tuesday that they did not immediately quarantine a sick airline passenger who later died of Ebola, announcing that eight health workers who had direct contact with him were now in isolation with symptoms of the disease.

Ebola, which can cause victims to bleed from the eyes and mouths before a grisly death, has killed nearly 900 people across four countries in West Africa, a deeply impoverished region with severely limited medical resources.

The outbreak, which emerged in March, spread to Nigeria in late July when Patrick Sawyer, a 40-year-old American of Liberian descent, flew from Liberia’s capital to the megacity of Lagos. The announcement that Sawyer was not immediately quarantined underscores concerns that West Africa is ill-equipped to contain such a disease.

Experts say people infected with Ebola can spread the disease only through their bodily fluids and after they show symptoms. Since the incubation period can last up to three weeks, some of the Nigerians who treated Sawyer are only now showing signs of illness that can mimic many common tropical illnesses — fever, muscle aches and vomiting.

Initially authorities told reporters that the risk of exposure was minimal because Sawyer was whisked into isolation after arriving at the airport with symptoms of Ebola.

But Lagos state health commissioner Jide Idris said Tuesday that the nature of his disease “was not known� the first day, and only after further investigation did they suspect Ebola. Sawyer’s sister had died in Liberia from the disease, which has no proven cure or treatment. “They went back to the history and they were like ‘Oh, this is Liberia,’ and that’s why he was put into isolation,� he told reporters. “So even in that window period it was possible that some of these people got infected.�

A doctor who cared for Sawyer has tested positive for the disease, and seven other health workers are now showing symptoms so have been placed in isolation.

They are among 14 people who had “serious direct contact� with Sawyer, most of them at the hospital, Idris said.

Authorities say they are also following the conditions of 56 other people who had “primary contact� with Sawyer — presumably less at risk than those in the first group.

Ben Neuman, a virologist and Ebola expert at Britain’s University of Reading, said doctors during an outbreak save lives “by responding bravely and quickly when someone is sick.�

That involves a measure of risk, as is seen now by the exposure in Nigeria. “The thing to watch going forward is how this changes infection control practices in Nigeria and around the world if a situation like this occurs again,� he said.

Newsmakers Wesley Snipes: ‘You can’t take life too seriously’

Wesley Snipes

Sylvester Stallone

LONDON — U.S. action star Wesley Snipes is back on the big screen for the first time since his release from prison as he joins Sylvester Stallone and the cast of The Expendables 3.

Speaking ahead of the movie’s world premiere Monday, Snipes joked that Stallone had him in mind for the first Expendables movie but he was “just a little occupied at the time.”

“They reserved a spot for me and when the opportunity came along he reached out again and said come join us, we would like you to be a part of this.”

Snipes was sentenced to three years in prison in 2008 after failing to file income tax returns. He began his prison term in December 2010.

The movie makes reference to Snipes’ time behind bars with a tax-evasion joke in the opening scenes.

“Whether I do something really funny or really stupid, it is OK with me,” says Snipes. “I think that is what life is about. You can’t take life itself too seriously.”

The 52-year-old actor is looking for new action projects, with a return to the universe of vampire Blade at the top of his list.

Nixon discusses fall from grace Tapes released on anniversary of former president’s resignation

By Gillian Flaccus and Krysta Fauria The Associated Press

YORBA LINDA, Calif. lmost a decade after Richard Nixon resigned, the disgraced former president sat down with his former aide and told the tale of his fall from grace in his own words.

For three decades, that version of one of the nation’s largest and most-dissected political scandals largely gathered dust — until this week.

Starting Tuesday, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation, portions of the tapes will be published each day by the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum and the private Richard Nixon Foundation.

The postings begin with Nixon recalling the day he decided to resign and end Saturday — the date of his last day in office — with the 37th president discussing his final day at the White House, when he signed the resignation agreement, gave a short speech and boarded a helicopter for San Clemente, Calif.

The segments were culled from more than 30 hours of interviews that Nixon did with former aide Frank Gannon in 1983.

The sections on Watergate aired publicly once, on CBS News, before gathering dust at the University of Georgia for more than 30 years.

“This is as close to what anybody is going to experience sitting down and having a beer with Nixon, sitting down with him in his living room,” said Gannon, now a writer and historian in Washington, D.C. “Like him or not, whether you think that his resignation was a tragedy for the nation or that he got out of town one step ahead of the sheriff, he was a human being,” he said.

Nixon, who died in 1994, had hoped that providing his own narrative would help temper America’s final judgment of him.

Perhaps with that in mind, he didn’t shy away from the tough questions, commenting on everything from the threat of impeachment to the socalled “smoking gun” conversation that included evidence he participated in a Watergate cover-up.

“This was the final blow, the final nail in the coffin.

Although you don’t need another nail if you’re already in the coffin — which we were,” Nixon said in a segment about the June 23, 1972, tape.

A

Nixon said when he decided to resign, he faced such strong resistance from his wife that he brought a transcript of the “smoking gun” tape to a family meeting to show her how bad it was.

“I’m a fighter, I just didn’t want to quit. Also I thought it would be an admission of guilt, which of course it was,” he said. “And, also, I felt it would set a terribly bad precedent for the future.”

The tone of the tapes contrasts with the sometimes adversarial tone of the wellknown series of Nixon interviews done in 1977 by British journalist David Frost.

Nixon appears relaxed in the tapes.

He smiles occasionally, speaks fondly about his two daughters and wife and seems emotional while recalling the final days of his fraught administration, as pressure mounted for his impeachment over a 1972 break-in at Democratic headquarters by burglars tied to the president’s re-election committee who were trying to get dirt on his political adversaries.

The decision to release these friendly interviews now, years after the fact, might not be a coincidence, said Luke Nichter, a Nixon expert and professor at Texas A&M University.

With the passage of time, he said, every former president sees their legacy re-examined and recast, and Nixon may be no different.

“Watergate’s never going to go away,” Nichter said. “Nixon’s role in that and the coverup is so well-documented. But I think what we’re trying to say here is Nixon doesn’t have to be all bad or all good. He can be a combination of the good, bad and ugly.”

Nixon denied knowing about plans for the break-in beforehand, but an 18½ minute gap in a recording of a post-Watergate White House meeting led many to suspect a cover-up.

Faced with impeachment and a possible criminal indictment, Nixon resigned on Aug. 9, 1974, and retreated to his native California. The following month he was granted a pardon by President Gerald Ford.

In the final segment to be released Saturday, Nixon recalls his last day at the White House.

After a fitful night, he awoke at 4 a.m. and went to the kitchen where he was surprised to find a kitchen staffer already there.

The staffer told Nixon it was 6 a.m., not two hours earlier — the president’s watch had stopped overnight.

“The battery had run out, wore out at 4 o’clock the last day I was in office,” Nixon said ruefully. “By that day, I was worn out too.”

‘Bachelor’ inspires city sales slogans

S

ince the Santa Fe council has decided to spend up to $100,000 luring The Bachelor to town rather than on the city’s roads, libraries or community centers, we must all do what we can to let the show’s viewers know about this plan.

For my part, I’d like to suggest a few potential slogans for any future ad campaigns: Santa Fe and The Bachelor: Keepin’ it banal.

Santa Fe and The Bachelor: Now catering to the lowest common denominator.

Santa Fe and The Bachelor: If you want culture, eat yogurt.

Santa Fe and The Bachelor: Where women can be objectified on TV and on the historic Plaza!

If anybody else has any slogans or date ideas, let our mayor know. Post it on Facebook or Tweet your slogan with the hashtags #SantaFe and #bachelor. Let’s get the word out.

End occupation War between the Palestinians and Israel never ends because the Israeli occupation of Palestine has not ended. We have been told over and over that there will be no peace in the Middle East until Israel ends the occupation.

Israel and the United States insist that Israel has the right to defend itself, but nobody talks about Palestine having the right to defend itself against the Israeli occupation.

Israel’s answer to the Hamas rockets is to bomb and shell anything in the vicinity of a supposed Hamas installation.

The real answer to Hamas is for Israel to end, not just stop, its occupation. Other-

A second hospital?

It is hard to believe management at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center correlates previous higher nursing staffing to poorer customer service (“Hospital leaders: Union’s push for more staff won’t improve care,” Aug. 2).

How many times have you or your family been in a hospital when there were too many nurses?

Mayor Javier Gonzales’ plea for union and management to stay at the table is to be lauded.

Hospital management

should visit Big Jo True Value Hardware on Siler Road. Now that’s a place where customer service is valued.

Another opportunity this dispute raises is to have Santa Fe clearly look at other options.

A second community hospital would inject some competition and probably improve patient care.

Books to Artesia On July 30, we delivered more than $1,000 worth of Spanish-language and bilingual children’s books and school supplies to the Artesia Chamber of Commerce.

These books and supplies are destined for the Central American refugee children currently detained at the Federal Law Enforcement Train-

ing Center in Artesia.

We would like to formally thank the people of Santa Fe and Albuquerque who opened their hearts and wallets to support this effort.

Their generosity made our desire to help the children a reality.

A special “thank you” to these businesses and their owners and managers in Santa Fe: Beehive Children’s Store; Dorothy Massey, from Collected Works Bookstore and Coffee Shop; Paxton Dillon, manager of Hastings; Jim West, from Op. Cit books, Sanbusco Market Center; and J.C. Carmona, manager of Target.

We appreciate and truly thank everyone so much for donations on behalf of the refugee children.

COMMENTARY: LOUIS HYMAN

Dollar-stores merger might impact poor ITHACA, N.Y. hen Dollar Tree and Family Dollar, two of the largest dollar stores in North America, agreed to a merger last Monday, it was the ultimate collision of Wall Street and Main Street. While hedge funds stand to make millions of dollars from the deal, the millions of Americans on limited budgets who rely on such stores will unfortunately be left behind.

The strategy behind the merger is that by combining the two companies’ purchasing power, the resulting firm can extract better deals from its suppliers — of which, for Dollar Tree, 40 percent are in China. The model here, as it is for most low-price stores, is Wal-Mart. For many manufacturers, Wal-Mart is pretty much the only game in town if you want people to buy your products, and thus Wal-Mart can gouge the supplier and provide consumers with cheap prices.

(Consumers seem to benefit from the low prices, but when those manufacturers chase cheaper production overseas, Americans lose their jobs.)

So the combination of Dollar Tree and Family Dollar — which I will call Dollar Dollar, even though its name will probably remain Dollar Tree — aspires to be a mini Wal-Mart, with increased purchasing power providing it with enough sales volume to bring even lower prices to its customers while making higher profits.

The problem with this strategy is that the supply for these two stores is wildly different. Dollar Tree offers party supplies, craft kits and storage bins, while

W

A-7

Family Dollar sells boxed food, canned food and detergent. As these inventory differences suggest, despite the word dollar in both names, the two stores actually serve different worlds: the suburbs, in the case of Dollar Tree; and the cities, in the case of Family Dollar.

Take, for instance, my hometown, Baltimore, where, as with many Rust Belt cities, relatively prosperous suburbs surround a poorer urban core. Of the 55 Dollar Trees that grace the Baltimore metropolitan area, only six are in the city. In contrast, of the 42 Family Dollar stores in the area, 26 are in the city. With this economic geography, the difference in the stores’ inventories begins to make sense. They have completely different customers with completely different shopping needs.

A suburban shopper might mix party supplies from Dollar Tree with durables from Target and groceries from Whole Foods. For the urban consumer, however, who has limited transportation, and whose neighborhood lacks ready access to supermarkets, Family Dollar is often the main destination for essentials. Family Dollar stores tend to be single buildings isolated from other retailers, especially grocery stores.

My concern with this merger is that in the zealous quest for profit-generating “synergies,” the Family Dollar stores, which provide an affordable alternative to relatively expensive corner stores, may have to be closed.

Here’s why. Last quarter, the net profit margin for Dollar Tree (7 percent) was more than double that of Family Dollar

MALLARD FILLMORE

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

(3 percent). Family Dollar’s revenues ($2.6 billion), meanwhile, were one-third higher than those of Dollar Tree ($2 billion). Executives at Dollar Tree must be eyeing those revenues and wondering how to bring them in line with their own margins. Premerger profits last quarter at Family Dollar were $81 million. If it had had Dollar Tree’s margins, Family Dollar’s profits would have been $180 million — considerably more than Dollar Tree’s own profits of $138 million.

While Dollar Dollar executives may imagine that fusing Dollar Tree’s margins with Family Dollar’s revenues can be achieved through better supplier deals, it will not, I suspect, be so easy, precisely because the two companies have such different suppliers. Dollar Tree’s higher margins come from using cheap goods from Chinese factories. But while China may make plastic Champagne glasses, it does not (I hope) make Hellmann’s mayonnaise. Once that reality sets in, unless Dollar Dollar is willing to accept smaller profit margins, it will have to close those less profitable Family Dollar stores. The urban poor will be left with fewer choices.

While Wall Street worries about its portfolios, I think that the rest of us, and the Federal Trade Commission, should worry about the millions of urban Americans with limited access to affordable groceries and other necessities.

Will work for food? efore adding any new requirements to block hungry people from receiving food, New Mexico must first make sure that everyone who qualifies is enrolled and receiving benefits to which they are

entitled.

Before adding any new requirements — 20 hours of weekly work, for example — New Mexico must be confident there actually are jobs that poor people can apply for and be hired to perform.

Those are just two objections to the news that Human Services Department Secretary Sidonie Squier is asking to restore a work requirement for some low-income people to receive benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program, or food stamps. The rules could affect some 26,000-plus people, requiring either 20 hours of work, some sort of community service or job training to be eligible for assistance. The state also wants to remove exceptions for parents of children 6 and younger that they be exempt from work requirements. (A hearing on the proposal is scheduled from 9 to 10 a.m. Aug. 29 at 2009 S. Pacheco St., Room 120. Comments on the topic can be sent by email to debrad.hendricks@state.nm.us.)

The rules were suspended in 2009 through federal waiver because in a recession, jobs are scarce. Trouble is, in New Mexico, jobs are still scarce, with the state lagging the nation and region in job creation. Our largest city, Albuquerque, is in double dip recession, according to the Brookings Institution. It is dead last in recovery among 100 cities nationwide, with job growth negative. What’s more, the economic picture for the entire state is bleak as well — with the state labor force growing less than 1 percent from Jan. 1, 2011, to Nov. 30, 2013. This is not the time to restore work requirements.

Before adding more red tape, state bureaucrats must remove a backlog so severe that a federal judge had to scold them. In May, federal U.S. District Judge Kenneth Gonzales ordered Human Services workers to reduce the backlog that left thousands of applicants waiting for food and health-care benefits. Progress is being made, but recipients still are reporting loss of benefits and trouble signing up. It’s as though the state wants to serve as few people as possible, rather than ensure hungry people eat.

To put all of this in context, Squier also said in an email to other administrators last year, “There has never been and is not now any significant evidence of hunger in New Mexico.” Considering the state consistently ranks at the top of lists for both hunger and poverty, that email caused a stir last September when it was released — especially since Squier is in charge of the department that supervises food benefits. Her testimony before Congress earlier this year showed, once again, her lack of compassion.

The benefits that New Mexico’s 420,000 food stamps recipients receive — with 46 percent of them going to children — are hardly generous, an average of $265 a month.

To avoid going hungry, recipients jump through enough hoops as it is. Until jobs are available, the state should keep its waiver.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: August 6, 1914: New York — An interesting phase of the European mix-up is the effect it is having upon the cloak and suit trade of this city, which means the trade of the country, because of the inability of the style experts and buyers who are due to return home about this time to get the goods they went after, or if they do get them, to get the stuff back here and to return themselves.

The leading houses in Paris are already late this season and buyers are unsettled as to whether or not they can get their goods.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Eating disorders can become deadly Dear Annie: During the middle of my freshman year in high school, I was in the midst of training for my first real track season.

My winter workouts gradually gained intensity, and my food intake gradually started to drop.

Initially, the more weight I lost the easier it became to complete tough workouts. With that mentality, I slipped into the world of anorexia nervosa, thinking that eating less and exercising more would translate to success in athletics.

I struggled with the disorder in silence for months, dropping from 130 to 98 pounds on my 5-foot-7 frame. I’d eat a granola bar for breakfast, run five miles in 100degree heat and then fall asleep in an attempt to ignore the hunger pangs.

The only person who ever directly confronted me about my weight loss was my volleyball coach. I lied about how “I was fine” and attributed my dizziness and inability to focus to a hectic schedule. I became terrified that my inability to compete was a result of laziness, so I started running. About 10 minutes in, everything went black. I collapsed on the ground, but no one saw, and I didn’t tell. But it made me realize my actions were spiraling out of control, and I finally sought help from my family doctor. It took years to undo the damaging behavior that had developed in a few short months, and those thoughts still nag at me today.

Eating disorders plague more high school students than are diagnosed, simply because people refuse to speak up if they see that something is wrong. Those few words from my coach helped me realize that I had a problem, freeing me from the firm grasp of denial. If you or someone you know may be suffering from an eating disorder, please reach out to a qualified mental health professional immediately. Losing a few pounds can quickly spiral into losing a life without the proper treatment. — Recovered in Nebraska

Dear Nebraska: Thank you for writing. We are sure you have helped more people than you realize. If you recognize yourself or someone else in this letter, we hope you will contact the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders at anad. org.

Dear Annie: “His Wife” said her depressed husband was a changed man after proper medication. That is my story up to the happy ending. Now I need advice.

My husband admits he may have a “little bit of depression,” but sees no need to change. It is everyone else’s problem if they don’t like the way he is. He saw counselors twice and complained that neither of them listened to him.

It is difficult to live under the cloud of an unpredictable, often angry man. He has problems at work and has switched jobs three times in the past eight years because he is “never appreciated, management is the problem, they don’t know what they are doing.”

He has estranged his family.

It is sad, frustrating and emotionally painful to live with him.

Unless a person wants help, no one can force him to get it. Any solutions? — His Wife, Too Dear Wife: You can try talking to his doctor (or leaving a message for him) about the depression and anger and asking about an antidepressant. Beyond that, however, you might consider counseling for yourself so that you can cope better with a situation that is making you so unhappy.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Salem, Oregon,” who requested that their children not give them Christmas presents. I have also told my children that the only present I want is for them to give blood at their local Red Cross. My three sons and their girlfriends and wives have willingly done so.

Now the Red Cross “opens” the presents that keep on giving.

Life is the best gift anyone could give. — S.

Gov.’s race rivals to face off next month in forum Albuquerque debate only scheduled for Martinez, King so far

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

There has been no news so far about any actual debates in the race for New Mexico governor, but both incumbent Gov. Susana Martinez and Attorney

Gary King

Susana Martinez

General Gary King, the Democratic nominee, have agreed to appear next month at a forum

sponsored by various organizations in the real estate and construction industries.

Spokesmen for each campaign confirmed their candidate will be at the event, which is scheduled for Sept. 22 at the Albuquerque Marriott at Interstate 40 and Louisiana Boulevard NE. The moderator of the forum is Kent Walz, editor in chief of the Albuquerque Journal.

This forum is the only one

Martinez has agreed to, at least so far.

“This is the first debate that’s been scheduled and we look forward to additional debates as the election draws nearer,” the governor’s campaign spokesman, Chris Sanchez, said in an email Tuesday.

Challenger King, on the other hand, has agreed to appear at several debates and forums, campaign manager Keith Breitback said Tuesday.

Among those are a New Mexico Press Association Forum at the Hyatt Regency Tamaya on Sept. 27 and a forum at Congregation Albert in Albuquerque on Oct 5. The Jewish congregation has sponsored candidate forums during elections for years.

Breitbach said King’s schedule has a debate on KOAT-TV on Oct. 19, but he said the date appears to be tentative.

In brief

Child hospitalized after near drowning The Santa Fe Fire Department reported that a 4-year-old girl was hospitalized in stable condition after she was pulled from a swimming pool at the Genoveva Chavez Community Center late Tuesday morning.

Celina Espinoza, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe Police Department, said the girl was at the pool with her aunt at about 11 a.m. She was swimming with 10 to 15 other children in the leisure pool, which deepens to about 3 feet and is usually monitored by one lifeguard.

Espinoza said the lifeguard had turned around briefly to scold some kids who were running in the pool area, and when looked at the pool again, the girl had sunk to the bottom.

A lifeguard performed CPR while waiting for emergency responders, said Assistant Fire Chief Jan Snyder. The girl started breathing and showed signs of a pulse while en route to the hospital. Espinoza said the girl’s mother told Chavez Center staff at about 1 p.m. that the girl was in good spirits. The city’s human resources, fire and police departments will investigate the incident.

Company cited for security gaps New Mexico-based Molina Medicaid Solutions received low marks for the security of its computer system that processes Medicaid claims for the state of Idaho, according to an audit released Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General.

The audit covering fiscal year 2013, which ended last fall, found 21 security weaknesses in the computer system at Molina, which contracts with Idaho to process Medicaid claims. None of the security gaps had been exploited, according to the audit, but federal auditors expressed concern that the computer system is vulnerable to hacking that could disrupt Medicaid coverage, expose personal information of Medicaid recipients in Idaho to theft and potentially open the door to fraud.

Among the shortcomings identified in the audit were failures to cancel former employees’ security clearances to access the system, weak network password protocols, absence of proof that employees had passed background checks and lack of security awareness training.

In response to most of the deficiencies noted in the audit, the Idaho Department of Health and Human Services and Molina took corrective steps, according to the audit report.

Consolidated Solar Technologies of Albuquerque began installing a field of 600 solar panels at Capital High School in July. COURTESY CONSOLIDATED SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES

SFPS gets solar boost 8 more schools generate sun power by the month’s end

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

O

n their return to school in a couple of weeks, students, staffers and visitors at Capital High School will see a field of 600 sun-power panels — part of Santa Fe Public Schools’ effort to leave solar footprints at eight district schools.

At some schools, such as the new El Camino Real Academy off N.M. 599, the solar panels are installed as shade structures in parking lots. At Capital, they are being placed in an unused field between the campus and a nearby residential neighborhood. Consolidated Solar Technologies of Albuquerque began installing the solar panels at Capital High in July. The project should be complete by the end of August.

The Capital High portion of the solar initiative cost about $980,000 in capital outlay funds. But that investment can pay off down the line in energy savings of up to $45,000 per year. The solar panels have a 25-year warranty.

Lisa Randall, Energy and Water Conservation Program coordinator for the district, said SFPS already is seeing annual savings of about $115,000 in its electric bills from Public Service Company of New Mexico through other solar projects.

The district used $235,000 from a 2009 general obligation bond and another $2 million from the 2013 bond cycle to initiate solar projects at three new schools — Amy Biehl Community School, Nina Otero Community School and El Camino Real — as well as five older facilities: Capital, Santa Fe High, Piñon Elementary, El

Dorado Community School and Gonzales Community School.

In some cases, the impact and savings are minimal.

For instance, 11 Schott Solar panels mounted in the wall at Gonzales in January 2013 nets about $1,000 in savings each year.

At El Camino Real, 228 solar panels installed under a shaded parking canopy this past month are projected to save $20,000 per year. The impact is similar at Amy Biehl Community School at Rancho Viejo, where 288 panels installed in April 2013 save the district about $21,000 in a year.

Nationwide, many school districts are going solar. The Tucson Unified School District recently announced it is bringing solar energy to more than 40 of its schools and projecting $170,000 in savings the first year and more than $11 million in energy costs over 20 years. More than 200 public schools in California have incorporated some sort of energy-saving solar devices. The Lafayette school district in Louisiana installed four rooftop solar panel devices several years ago and projected savings of $500,000 over a period of 10 years.

The efforts are not without controversy. Some critics argue the up-front costs of installation are still too expensive to recoup energy costs, especially when calculations are done for maintenance and replacement of panels.

But Mariel Nanasi, executive director of Santa Febased New Energy Economy, said school districts are finding it more cost effective to go solar “than pay PNM in the long run. They are taking long-term planning into account, realizing savings and putting them back into the schools for other important needs: new teachers or art classes or whatever services their kids need.”

A Santa Fe man has been charged with raping an unconscious woman at a friend’s home in late March after she had been drinking at a downtown bar.

A Santa Fe County grand jury indicted Anthony Aldana, 37, on a charge of seconddegree criminal Anthony Aldana sexual penetration July 16.

According to a police report, the woman — whose age was not listed — told police she had gone to Burro Alley Lounge on West San Francisco Street around 10 p.m. March 30 and woke up hours later in the bedroom of a friend’s home on Calle de Oriente, where Aldana allegedly was assaulting her.

The woman told police she’d consumed three vodka cocktails at the bar, but she said she didn’t remember leaving Burro Alley, and she didn’t remember anything after 12:30 a.m.

In an interview at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center the next day, the woman told police she had woken up on the bottom bunk of a child’s bed in the home as the man allegedly was assaulting her.

According to the report, the woman told police she’d run out of the room and into her friend’s room, and asked the friend to take her to her vehicle. She said she drove herself home and washed before she went to the hospital.

The woman told police she didn’t remember seeing the suspect at the bar that night, but she later came across his photograph on the Facebook page of a mutual friend. She identified Aldana as the man who raped her, according to the report.

The woman who lives at the home on Calle de Oriente said she was at the residence with her boyfriend and Aldana that night at around 2 a.m.,

VA: Patient deaths not linked to wait times 21 people died while on wait list, officials say

By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — A review by the New Mexico Veterans Affairs health care system has found no link between the deaths of dozens of veterans and their place on the waiting list for medical care.

Amid an investigation into lapses in care, the New Mexico VA initially identified 21 people who died while waiting to see a doctor. Officials

Section editor: Howard Houghton, 986-3015, hhoughton@sfnewmexican.com

promised to investigate each case to determine whether any of the deaths were related to a lack of care or delays in seeing a doctor.

The health care system ended up finding an additional 167 patients who died while awaiting various appointments, but VA spokeswoman Sonja Brown confirmed Tuesday there was no association with wait times in any of the deaths.

“This is a situation that can be found at any hospital, whether federal or private, because patients often pass away before their next scheduled appointment,” Brown said. “That appointment may have absolutely no

connection to their cause of death.”

The VA learned of the patients’ deaths while reaching out to more than 1,000 veterans who were waiting to see primary care doctors or receive specialty care.

Reports of long delays for treatment and medical appointments at VA hospitals and clinics around the country sparked a national outcry earlier this year that led to a shake-up within the problem-plagued agency and a $16.3 billion congressional proposal for revamping the department.

Members of New Mexico’s congressional delegation are hopeful the legislation, once signed by the presi-

dent, will help rebuild veterans’ trust in the health care system.

The most recent audit of Albuquerque’s Veterans Affairs hospital, released last week, shows there were 248 veterans on the electronic waiting list, down from 353 two weeks ago and down from more than 1,040 in May. The list includes new patients for whom appointments cannot be scheduled within 90 days.

Brown said the New Mexico VA is still reaching out to veterans to get them in for appointments, and recruitment continues for more doctors.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Heart of Mary announced this week it has ceased operating the shelter because it is no longer needed, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported.

The announcement comes the same day federal officials announced they are closing three emergency shelters on U.S. military bases because fewer child immigrants are being caught at the border and because of the expanded capacity of other shelters. El Paso’s Annunciation House is also closing four of its five shelters.

The Catholic diocese helped shelter about 200 migrants from July 3-25, project director Lonnie Briseno said.

The migrants, released on their own recognizance, would spend a day or two at the shelter, resting, eating and making arrangements to travel to family throughout the country, where they would stay while awaiting deportation hearings.

Each one was given a cot, a shower, clean clothes, hot meals and health checks.

The shelter may reopen if needed during hurricane season.

was assisting had her asylum claim swiftly denied by a judge while an associate from his office was standing outside the center, waiting to be let in.

In the Artesia center’s first month, 209 migrants were deported, officials said. The pace of deportations would have been faster, but nearly twothirds of the mothers expressed fears that they would face violence back home and have been held for asylum reviews, officials and legal advocates said.

Lawyers who have interviewed migrants in Artesia say many more have viable claims than Central Americans who came in the past.

After years of litigation over poor conditions, the Obama administration closed its last big family detention center in 2009, the T. Don Hutto center in Texas.

Peter Boogaard, a Homeland Security spokesman, said Artesia and the other new family centers would “ensure more timely and effective removals” of adults with children “that comply with our legal and international obligations.”

Families in Artesia face an uphill fight to avoid deportation. Lisa Brodyaga, a lawyer based in the Rio Grande Valley, is representing a Salvadoran

woman, detained with her 11-year-old daughter, whose police officer husband has refused to join forces with criminal gangs. The woman, whom Brodyaga identified as only as O. to protect her privacy, had given a detailed account of her flight from gang members who camped out on the roof of her house and harassed her family in the food store, threatening to assault “that which you hold most dear” — her daughter.

With space tight at the center, asylum officers interviewed the woman and her daughter together, Brodyaga said, and then ruled that their fears were not credible.

“It’s rough having your 11-year-old daughter present when you are explaining that she is the one who could be raped and killed if you were sent back,” Brodyaga said, adding that the woman is still fighting her deportation.

The few migrants who have qualified for release have been told that they would not be allowed to post bond. According to court documents, government prosecutors argued that releasing any detainees from Artesia “further encourages mass migration” and would create “significant adverse national security consequences.”

and kitchens to the border, and Catholic Charities took donations and distributed clothing and supplies to the displaced.

Kyle Janek, executive commissioner of Texas Health and Human Services, instructed the state body that licenses shelters to work with them.

“Because of the large numbers we were seeing in a short period of time,” Janek said, he directed the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to lower shelter standards to the same level as after a hurricane. He made

the remarks late last month in testimony to a legislative committee.

The regulatory changes reduced the number of square feet required for each child and allowed more children to be housed per available toilet, sink and shower. Some shelters proposed having additional kids sleep on cots — an idea that was approved. A suggestion to give them air mattresses was denied, according to shelter documents obtained by The Associated Press through an open-records request.

New judge files lawsuit to appear on ballot

By Barry Massey The Associated Press

A newly appointed judge filed a lawsuit Tuesday challenging New Mexico’s system of allowing political parties to select the general-election nominees in certain state judicial races.

District Judge Gina Manfredi in Sandoval County asked the First Judicial District Court in Santa Fe to place her on the ballot rather than Bernalillo lawyer Christopher Perez.

The lawsuit contends the state constitution’s system of

merit selection for appointing judges should override a statute allowing parties to pick nominees when a judicial opening occurs too late for candidates to run in the primary election.

“The conflict created between these two selection procedures further politicizes the judicial selection process, dilutes the New Mexico Constitution, and shifts the focus of the judicial nomination from merit to political support garnered at the state central committee meeting,” the lawsuit

said. The state Supreme Court rejected a similar challenge filed last month by Manfredi, a Democrat who was appointed

by Republican Gov. Susana Martinez last month to a newly created judgeship in the 13th Judicial District.

Three days after Manfredi’s appointment, the state Democratic Party Central Committee selected Perez to appear on the ballot in the November general election rather than Manfredi.

Unless a court intervenes, Manfredi will serve only a few months until the election win-

ner takes office. A bipartisan Judicial Nominating Commission screened applicants for the new 13th Judicial District judgeship in Sandoval County and recommended Manfredi for possible appointment by the governor.

The Legislature created the new judgeship earlier this year, but the position became effective after the deadline for candidates to file in the primary election. That cleared the way for the parties to determine the lineup of candidates in November.

Humidity helps crews fight blazes Woman accused

of disrupting flight to appear in court

The Associated Press

BURNEY, Calif. — Thunderstorms that brought light rain and increased humidity to Northern California helped fire crews make progress Tuesday against two wildfires that were threatening hundreds of homes, but also raised the possibility of new lightningsparked blazes in the region.

The two fires were burning in the Lassen National Forest.

The smaller of the two was within sight of the small Shasta County town of Burney, though officials said it remained about 4 miles away after showing almost no growth overnight.

The small town of 3,000 was filled with smoke from the blaze, but businesses were open as usual. Flames at the top of a mountain crest were no longer visible from a nearby vista point.

Crews increased containment on the nearly 45-squaremile blaze from 10 to 20 percent. The fire has destroyed eight homes and was threatening a little more than 700 others, some of which were evacuated.

The nearby Bald Fire, which has burned through 62 square miles, forced the evacuation of about a dozen homes. Containment on that fire jumped from 20 percent to 30 percent overnight, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Jim Mackensen said.

He said officials were looking to lift the evacuations, though he didn’t know when residents might be allowed to return home.

More lightning was forecast for the area, though Mackensen said he was hopeful the rain and damp conditions would prevent the blazes from starting fires.

The Eiler and Bald fires began within a day of each other and expanded ferociously through drought-killed or weakened trees and brush.

The Bald Fire was sparked by lightning, but it’s unclear what ignited the Eiler blaze near Burney.

The summer wildfires didn’t come as a surprise. Fire officials had been warning of dangerous conditions because of

the drought. But the speed and fury of the Eiler Fire was disconcerting and terrifying, some evacuees said Monday at a shelter set up at a local school.

“Trees were just exploding,” said Dennis Hoffman, who left the community of Cassel last week as flames roared through forests on either side of his home. “It was like a big monster — just unbelievable, how bad it was.”

More than a dozen wildfires are burning in the state.

Elsewhere in the West:

u Cooler temperatures and

scattered showers helped firefighters hold the line on the Oregon Gulch Fire in the Siskiyou Mountains straddling the Oregon-California border. The fire remains at 57 square miles and is 30 percent contained. u Residents of 14 homes near Leavenworth, Wash., have been advised to evacuate while crews keep a wary eye on winds near the 65-acre Hansel Fire. Crews in Washington were also worried the Duncan Fire outside of Entiat could grow. The Hansel and Duncan fires are part of the Chiwaukum complex that has covered about 26 square miles.

On the night of the attack, the 15-year-old said he was angry about breaking up with his girlfriend, and the three returned from a party and covered their faces with black T-shirts and went out to look for someone to beat up and possibly rob, according to the criminal complaint.

Prosecutors said the teens heard voices coming from a vacant lot near their home and

decided they would attack the men at that lot. Police later searched the home and found evidence they say was related to the beatings.

After being arrested and interviewed separately, the teens allegedly admitted to the beatings, prosecutors said.

Rios was being held on a $1 million bond at the Metropolitan Detention Center. The two younger teens were being held at a juvenile detention center, each on a $1 million bond.

If convicted of the charges, all three defendants could face up to life in prison.

Energy secretary to visit N.M. next week The Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE — Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz’s trip to New Mexico next week will include a visit to the federal government’s underground nuclear waste repository near Carlsbad.

Moniz will be in Santa Fe for a meeting Monday morning and then will travel to Carlsbad for a town hall focused on recovery efforts at the troubled Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.

Moniz will wrap up his trip Tuesday with a visit to the site, which will mark his first time

there since a reaction sent radioactive particles into the air above the repository and contaminated 22 workers with low levels of radiation.

The Department of Energy facility is the nation’s only permanent repository for plutonium-contaminated gloves, tools and clothing from the federal government’s nuclear facilities.

Shipments from sites across the country have been on hold now for nearly six months, indefinitely stalling efforts to clean up decades of Cold Warera waste.

While the department is aiming to resume limited operations as early as 2016, state officials say much work still needs to be done to ensure operations can continue safely.

New Mexico Environment Secretary Ryan Flynn said he’s encouraged by Moniz’s visit.

Flynn and other elected officials had called for Moniz to visit months ago.

“There’s no substitute for looking people in the eye and listening to their concerns and answering their questions about the future of their jobs at the facility,” Flynn said Tues-

day. “I really hope he’s going to spend some time here with the community and figure out what he needs to do, what the Department of Energy needs to do to make this facility successful once again.”

Flynn said he’s interested in hearing from Moniz how the department plans to improve its oversight of nuclear safety, mine safety and emergency management at the underground repository.

Ineffective oversight was among the findings of an accident investigation board.

Edwards said further development on the hillside will be halted until the cause of the landslide can be determined.

two years, and the area is now open space and off limits to construction, he said.

Many homeowners in the North Salt Lake area were nervous Tuesday afternoon, with heavy rain and thunderstorms forecast for the afternoon or evening, said Mike Conger, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Salt Lake City.

Angie MacDonald, 36, and her husband moved in to the area in January with their twin 3-year-old daughters. They’ve been nervous since seeing construction crews working on the ridge over the past few months.

They have not been evacuated, but it’s left them unsettled.

“It’s scary. It’s really scary, but it’s not shocking either,” MacDonald said. “It makes me wonder: Did we build in the right place?”

Well Water Testing Targeted for Your Area with Expert Interpretation of the Results Not too few contaminants tested and not too many. Just right testing.

Most humans can’t wiggle their ears on purpose, but in many animals — cats, dogs and horses, to name a few — that muscle control is an important trait. The movement allows our furry friends with more sensitive auditory skills to point their ears in the direction of sound.

And, according to a new study in Current Biology, horses might also use one another’s ear movements as visual cues, allowing them to communicate more effectively.

Study author Jennifer Wathan, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Sussex, took life-size photos of horses whose attention was attention focused on something.

She then placed the photos between two feed buckets in front of real horses. The horses were able to tell which bucket

the ersatz horse was looking at, and chose to direct their attention to it, as well.

But when Wathan covered up either the ears or eyes of the horse in the photograph with illustrated hoods and blindfolds, the horses in the experiment lost their ability to detect interest in the photographed horse.

In fact, their ability to pick the right bucket dropped to only 50-50, suggesting that they weren’t picking up any cues from the photographed horse at all.

Apparently, it’s not enough that a horse’s long face be pointed in the right direction: The animals seem to rely on a much more complex read of facial features when they interpret emotion in their peers. It’s easy for animal trainers — and even researchers — to get hung up on studying the same cues that humans use, assuming that animals use versions of the same thing. But for horses, it seems, social interaction may rely on muscles that humans have forgotten how to use.

1st woman assistant coach in major pro sports

By Michael Lee The Washington Post

The San Antonio Spurs made history Tuesday by hiring six-time WNBA all-star Becky Hammon as an assistant coach, making her the first full-time woman assistant coach in any of the four major professional sports.

Hammon, a two-time first-team all-WNBA player who had spent the past eight seasons with the San Antonio Stars, served as an unofficial coaching intern last season with the reigning NBA champion Spurs.

“Obviously, this is a big deal. The bigger deal is I feel like there’s been greater pioneers to even get to this point,” Hammon said during a teleconference Tuesday. “In some ways, it is trailblazing, but there have been so many other women doing really great things, and I’m just following in their path.”

University of South Carolina associate head coach Lisa Boyer was the first woman to serve on an NBA coaching staff, assisting then-Cleveland Cavaliers coach John Lucas in 2001-02, but she was paid by the WNBA’s Cleveland Rockers and did not travel with the Cavaliers or sit on the bench. Last July, the Los Angeles Clippers made former UCLA star Natalie Nakase a summer league assistant, but she will return to her position as a video coordinator during the regular season.

Hammon, though, will be a fullfledged assistant on Coach Gregg Popovich’s staff.

Mexico then beat top-seeded Louisiana 18-7 on Sunday then got by No. 3 Colorado 5-3 on Monday.

Texas West, out of the Eagle Pass Softball Little League in Eagle Pass, Texas, beat Texas East 19-0 on Sunday, then pummeled Louisiana 17-4 on Monday. The fifth-seeded team will have to beat New Mexico twice in order to advance to the world series.

New Mexico finished third in last year’s tournament after losing to Texas West — which was represented by a team from Lubbock, Texas — in the championship game of the loser’s bracket.

Texas West then went on to lose to Texas East in the championship game.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Just like that, Mickelson part of mix

By Paul Newberry The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Phil Mickelson will be the first to admit he’s a bit streaky.

Sure, it’s been more than a year since his last victory.

Then he goes and makes 10 birdies while shooting 62 on the final day at Firestone.

Just like that, Lefty is being mentioned as one of the favorites at the PGA Championship.

Can he keep it up?

Mickelson has no idea.

“If I could answer that question, it would be a lot easier,” he said Tuesday after a practice Phil round at Valhalla Mickelson Golf Club. “It’s been 20-plus years and things are just that way. Rather than question it or try to find an answer, I just accept it as being the way it is and look forward to it when it does happen. It’s fun when it does.”

Mickelson hasn’t had a lot of fun since winning the British Open at Muirfield nearly 13 months ago. He failed to crack the top 20 at any of the last four majors. His highest finish on the PGA Tour is 11th. His putting got so shaky that he experimented with a claw grip during the U.S. Open at Pinehurst, only to switch back to a

Anthony Bosch, center, is escorted by Drug Enforcement Administration officials Tuesday in Weston, Fla. The owner of a now-defunct Florida clinic was charged Tuesday with conspiracy to distribute steroids, more than a year after he was accused of providing performance-enhancing drugs to New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and other players. Federal court records show Bosch is charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute testosterone. ANDREW LOCKETT/ESPN OUTSIDE THE LINES

Biogenesis founder accused of giving A-Rod, other athletes performance-enhancing drugs

By Jennifer Kay and Tim Reynolds The Associated Press

MIAMI he former clinic owner accused of selling performance-enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez has agreed to plead guilty in what prosecutors called a wide-ranging conspiracy to distribute steroids to both major league ballplayers and high school athletes.

The charges filed Tuesday against former Bio-

T

genesis of America owner Anthony Bosch and six others marked one of the biggest salvos yet in a case that has dragged on for nearly two years. The case has sparked lawsuits, mudslinging and suspensions against numerous major leaguers, including Rodriguez.

Also charged was Yuri Sucart, 52, a cousin of Rodriguez who the New York Yankees third baseman has said provided him with steroids from 2000 to 2003 when he played for the Texas Rangers.

Sucart and the others are accused of acting as recruiters, setting up meetings between the athletes and Bosch, who introduced himself as “Dr. T,” authorities said. Professional athletes paid up to $12,000 a month for the drugs provided by Biogenesis, while high schoolers paid up to $600 a

month. All the clients were promised that the substances would not be found through drug testing, prosecutors said.

“He is not a doctor,” Mark R. Trouville, chief of the Miami Drug Enforcement Administration office, said of Bosch. “He is a drug dealer.”

U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer said Bosch did not have a medical license, making what happened all the more dangerous.

“As with many drug cases, these defendants were motivated by one thing — by money,” Ferrer said.

Major League Baseball was not part of the criminal investigation and declined comment. No athletes were charged nor named in court docu-

would do just that.

“It combines a lot of what we all want,” Gould said. “There’s something about mud that is magical.”

The mud is what drew me in. I don’t normally compete in races, but the fact that this one had obstacles and mud made it very convincing, and I think a lot of people feel the same way I do.

“I think running is great, but it doesn’t work for a lot of people,” Gallegos said. “Some people just don’t run.”

People are starting to catch on at these races, as the turnout from this year’s Ultimate Gladiator Dash nearly tripled since last year. Gould and Gallegos hope to expand next year by having up to six races in New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Arizona and Oklahoma.

It’s no surprise that the duo is going to expand so drastically by next year. Similar events like the Spartan Race and Tough Mudder

have been popping up all over the country, and Gallegos believes a growing trend in physical fitness led to the growth of obstacle races.

“You’re doing it for your own personal achievement, and that’s what makes them challenging and fun,” he said.

But people don’t just like to overcome obstacles themselves. With the popularity of the Japanese show Ninja Warrior and its domestic counterpart American Ninja Warrior, people like to see other people overcome obstacles too.

“There are no politics and no interference,” Gould said of obstacle racing. “You just go out there and get it done.”

With the growth of obstacle racing in small towns and on TV, I’m thinking it might be the next big American sport. I’m sure a lot of people will return to next year’s Ultimate Gladiator Dash, and so will a lot of new people.

BASEBALL

Bizarre play, Cueto help Reds down Indians The Associated Press

its fourth straight.

CLEVELAND — Johnny Cueto threw his fourth complete game of the season, and the Cincinnati Reds, aided by a bizarre play in which a CleveReds 9 land runner was fooled by a second ball on the Indians 2 field, defeated the Indians 9-2 on Tuesday night.

The Indians, trying to mount a comeback in the seventh, had a rally squelched after an errant warmup pitch from Cincinnati’s bullpen came on the field.

Yan Gomes’ double cut the lead to 6-2 and moved David Murphy to third as a ball thrown by reliever Jumbo Diaz rolled behind second base. Murphy mistakenly thought that ball was live and edged off third. He was tagged out after the ball that was in play was thrown to Santiago.

Cueto (13-6), who hasn’t lost since July 2, allowed two runs in winning his fifth straight decision.

TIGERS 4, YANKEES 3 (12 INNINGS) In New York, David Price struck out 10 in his Detroit debut and was long gone when Alex Avila homered in the 12th inning to lift the Tigers over the Yankees.

Price pitched 8⅔ innings and left with the score 3-all. He leads the majors in strikeouts (199) and innings (179⅓).

Avila homered with one out off Matt Daley (0-1).

Joakim Soria (2-4) got the win, and Joe Nathan earned his 23rd save in 28 tries.

PHILLIES 2, ASTROS 1 (15 INNINGS) In Philadelphia, Ryan Howard singled in the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 15th inning to lift the Phillies to a victory over Houston.

The interleague matchup between teams with two of the four worst records in the majors lasted 5 hours, 5 minutes.

Hector Neris (1-0) tossed a perfect inning to earn the win in his major league debut.

CARDINALS 3, RED SOX 2 In St. Louis, Jon Jay hit an RBI single with two outs in the eighth inning to break a tie and lead the Cardinals over Boston.

The Cardinals won their third in a row and fourth in the last five. Boston has lost three in a row.

Jay, who missed the previous five games with a wrist injury, blooped a hit to left off reliever Junichi Tazawa (1-3) to bring in former Red Sox player A.J. Pierzynski with the winning run.

TWINS 3, PADRES 1 In Minneapolis, Kennys Vargas hit a three-run homer in his first home game for Minnesota, powering the Twins past Jesse Hahn and San Diego.

Phil Hughes had a season-high nine strikeouts in six innings to snap a threestart losing streak. Glen Perkins earned his 28th save in 31 attempts despite giving up a pair of singles in the ninth.

Yonder Alonso hit his first home run in almost two months after spending much of the summer on the disabled list, but his drive to the upper deck in right field in the fifth inning was all the Padres put together against Hughes (11-8).

ROYALS 12, DIAMONDBACKS 2 In Phoenix, Billy Butler had a three-run homer among his four hits, Nori Aoki hit a grand slam and Kansas City gave Danny Duffy some rare run support by bashing the Diamondbacks.

Kansas City battered Wade Miley (7-8)

from the start, scoring 10 runs off him by the fifth inning. Salvador Perez had the first big blow with a three-run homer in the third inning and Butler added another three-run shot during Kansas City’s eightrun fifth. Aoki capped the big inning with his first career grand slam.

The Royals had 10 of their 15 hits by the fifth inning and had a season-high in runs, allowing Duffy (6-10) to cruise to his first win since June 30.

MARINERS 4, BRAVES 2 In Seattle, Felix Hernandez allowed one run in eight innings, extending his major league record streak of games with at least seven innings and two or fewer runs to 15, and the Mariners beat Atlanta.

Hernandez (12-3) struck out eight and walked one. His earned run average dropped to a league-leading 1.97.

Alex Wood (7-9) worked six innings, allowing five hits, just one earned run, walked four and struck out five for the Braves, who have lost seven in a row.

RANGERS 16, WHITE SOX 0 In Chicago, Robinson Chirinos homered twice, and Colby Lewis pitched a six-hitter to lead Texas to a rout of the White Sox, the largest shutout victory in Rangers’ history.

J.P. Arencibia, Adrian Beltre and Shin-Soo Choo also went deep for the Rangers, who set a season-high in runs and snapped a four-game losing streak. Texas’ last fivehomer game came last August.

White Sox pitcher John Danks (9-7) was rocked for nine runs on five walks and eight hits, including four home runs, in 4⅔ innings. The left-hander leads the American League with 23 homers allowed.

METS 6, NATIONALS 1 In Washington, Zack Wheeler allowed one run in 6⅔ innings to win his fourth consecutive decision, and Daniel Murphy’s two-run single helped New York beat the NL East-leading Nationals.

Wheeler (7-8) gave up seven hits and allowed a run on a wild pitch. He is 4-0 with a 1.59 ERA in seven appearances since June 30.

In the second and third, Washington accumulated three hits and four walks off Wheeler but scored only once.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

MARLINS 6, PIRATES 3 In Pittsburgh, Adeiny Hechavarria had two hits and drove in a run during a decisive five-run rally in the eighth inning to help Miami beat the Pirates.

Hechavarria’s RBI single made it 4-2 after Marcell Ozuna and Jarrod Saltalamacchia drew bases-loaded walks from Justin Wilson to force home the tying and go-ahead runs. Christian Yelich capped the inning with a run-scoring double.

ORIOLES 9, BLUE JAYS 3 In Toronto, Chris Davis homered and Caleb Joseph and Jonathan Schoop added back-to-back shots as Baltimore topped Toronto.

Davis, Nelson Cruz and J.J. Hardy all had two RBIs, and the Orioles won their third straight game, each in a different city.

Baltimore beat Seattle at home on Sunday and won at Washington on Monday in a makeup game.

Bud Norris (9-7) pitched 5 1-3 innings to win for the first time in three starts as the AL East-leading Orioles moved five games ahead of second-place Toronto, which lost

BREWERS 4, GIANTS 3 In Milwaukee, Gerardo Parra snapped a tie with a home run in the seventh — his first hit since been acquired by the Brewers — and the Brewers recorded the final out of its victory against San Francisco when video replay overturned a safe call at first base.

With two outs in the ninth, Brewers closer Frankie Rodriguez walked Hunter Pence. Joe Panik then bounced to second baseman Rickie Weeks, who was shielded on the play by Pence before making the throw to first. Brewers managed Ron Roenicke challenged the safe call, and it was changed after a review of 3 minutes, 17 seconds.

ments, and it is unclear how many may have been involved.

However, authorities said Bosch admitted to providing performance-enhancing drugs to 18 high schoolers.

For now, Bosch has pleaded not guilty and his bond was set at $100,000. He faces up to 10 years in prison.

“In terms of an agreement to cooperate and plead guilty, Bosch has agreed to do that,” Ferrer said.

Michael McCann, director of the sports and entertainment law center at the University of New Hampshire School of Law, said it’s unlikely that the players involved in this scandal will face criminal charges, unless there’s any evidence that a player went beyond using drugs and into distributing them.

“They could lose an endorsement contract because of a morals clause in their contract, but if that were to happen I think it would have already hap-

pened,” McCann said. “In terms of punishment from baseball, baseball has punished them.”

The prosecution may have taken so long because investigators might have wanted to confirm the information they were getting from Bosch, even if he was cooperating, McCann said.

“He’s not somebody with a great track record, there are reasons to doubt him in terms of his credibility,” he said.

Joe Tacopina, a lawyer for Rodriguez, said the arrests Tuesday represent a degree of closure for Rodriguez and will enable him to focus on an eventual return to baseball.

“It sort of reinforces the notion that Alex committed no crime, number one,” Tacopina said. “And number two, quite frankly, this really signified the beginning of the end of the whole Biogenesis saga and allows Alex to focus on the future going forward.”

Rodriguez is currently serving a season-long suspen-

sion, the longest penalty in the sport’s history related to performance-enhancing drugs.

He was the only one 14 players involved in the scandal to contest his penalty.

However, since the investigation is ongoing, it remains possible that more players could eventually face sanctions as a result of the Biogenesis probe.

Rodriguez denied taking steroids while playing for the Yankees, though his cousin was banned from the team’s clubhouse, charter flights and other activities after Rodriguez said Sucart obtained the steroids he used while playing for the Rangers.

Bosch was charged with conspiracy to distribute testosterone, as was Sucart, Carlos Javier Acevedo, Jorge Augustine Velazquez, Christopher Benjamin Engroba, Juan Carlos Nunez and Lazaro Daniel Collazo — a well-known youth and college baseball coach who has worked at schools including Miami, Louisville, Florida State

and South Florida.

Acevedo pleaded not guilty and his bond was set at $100,000. Engroba pleaded not guilty and his bond was $50,000. No other pleas were entered Tuesday.

Court documents say that from October 2008 through December 2012, Bosch willfully conspired to distribute the anabolic steroid testosterone.

Prosecutors also announced the arrest of three others in a drug ring discovered during the course of the investigation into Biogenesis. However, that case, which centered around the stimulant known as “molly,” was not directly connected to Bosch.

A Miami New Times report from January 2013, which sparked MLB’s investigation, said Rodriguez had bought human growth hormone and other substances from 2009 to 2012 from Bosch’s clinic. The newspaper said it had obtained records detailing the purchases

by Rodriguez and other ballplayers.

Spurs: Hammon tore her ACL last season Continued from Page B-5 “It’s a great thing, a great day in women’s basketball,” said Washington Mystics guard Ivory Latta before Tuesday’s game against the New York Liberty. “And you know what? You’re going to have some people just waiting for her to fail. Then you’ve got her whole WNBA family that knows she’s going to succeed. That happens. I just know she’s going to do well.”

Forced to confront her basketball mortality after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee last season with the Stars — an injury she now calls “one of the biggest blessings in disguise” — Hammon observed practices, sat in on coaches meetings and film review sessions and watched games from behind the bench.

Popovich would occasionally ask Hammon

for her opinion and was impressed by both her mind and her moxie.

“Having observed her working with our team this past season, I’m confident her basketball IQ , work ethic and interpersonal skills will be a great benefit to the Spurs,” Popovich said Tuesday in a statement.

Hammon’s hiring in San Antonio comes on the heels of Michele Roberts, a Washington-based attorney, becoming the first woman to be named executive director of the NBA players’ union late last month.

A native of Rapid City, S.D., Hammon was lightly recruited out of high school, undrafted out of Colorado State and she made a controversial decision to become a naturalized Russian citizen in 2008 so that she could play for the country’s national basketball team in the 2008 and

“Those things are the fibers of what I’m made up of,” Hammon said. “Nothing in my life has every really been easy.

I’ve always done it pretty much uphill. …

Throw out the female or male part of it, this is a great challenge for me.”

Ann Meyers Drysdale, the president and general manager of the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and vice president of the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, hailed the Spurs for making a bold move for the NBA and women.

“It takes somebody with courage and common sense to hire somebody that’s qualified — and that’s exactly what the San Antonio Spurs organization did,” Meyers Drysdale, the first woman to sign a contract with an NBA team, when she tried out for the Indiana Pacers in 1979, said in a telephone interview.

Tacoma beats Isotopes 7-5 Visiting Tacoma scored twice in the top of the ninth inning to snap a 5-all tie en route to a 7-5 victory over the Albuquerque Isotopes on Tuesday night in Pacific Coast League action at Isotopes Park.

The Rainiers (60-58) took three of the four games in the series. The Isotopes (54-64) have lost six of their last seven games and are now 10 games under .500.

Both teams traded leads all night long, but in the end Albuquerque managed to tie the game in the bottom of the seventh. Tacoma’s Xavier Avery started the ninth by reaching via a passed ball on a strikeout. The next batter struck out, but James Jones clubbed a triple off the center field wall to give the Rainiers a 6-5 lead.

A walk and another base hit extended their lead to 7-5.

After Tacoma jumped ahead 1-0 in the second inning, Albuquerque’s Jamie Romak smashed a solo home run off the left field foul poll in the bottom of the second to tie the game up. After Clint Robinson tripled in Darwin Barney in the sixth inning, Romak hit a home run to give Albuquerque a 5-2 lead.

The Rainiers tied it back up with a three-spot before the seventh inning stretch, but the Topes answered with an RBIsingle from Erisbel Arruebarrena in the home half of the inning before Tacoma pulled ahead for good in the ninth.

After an off day Wednesday, the Isotopes will hit the road for a five-game series against the Pacific Southern Divisionleading Las Vegas (Nev.) 51s.

He looked downright lost.

Nothing changed through the first two rounds of the Bridgestone Invitational, when Mickelson’s belief that his game was rounding into form was shattered by rounds of 71 and 73.

“It would be out of nowhere for me to play well,” he grumbled just last Saturday.

The very next day, Mickelson put up his lowest round since a 60 at the 2013 Phoenix Open.

“It’s just kind of the way I play golf,” he said. “I’m streaky. I’ll get on rolls and get some good momentum, and all of a sudden the hole looks huge. Then there are days where it’s just the opposite. It’s just the way it’s always been for me. I don’t have a great answer.”

More than anyone, Mickelson realizes the way he was feeling just a few days ago may be gone by the time he tees off in the final major championship of the year.

“In this game, things can turn around, really, in an instant,” he said. “I’m interested to see how it goes Thursday and Friday. But certainly my confidence level and my practice sessions are totally different. I don’t feel like I’m searching. I feel like now I’m

just trying to acquire that same feel from Sunday, and I feel like I’ve found what I’m looking for.

I just have to maintain it.”

At 44, Mickelson can no longer keep up with big hitters like Keegan Bradley and Rickie Fowler, who joined Lefty for Tuesday’s practice round. Both struck it farther off the 10th tee during the PGA’s long-drive competition.

Someone asked Mickelson what it felt like to go against players who grew up idolizing him.

“Just makes me feel old, that’s all,” he said, smiling. “When someone says, ‘Yeah, I used to watch you on TV when I was 6,’ how do you respond to that?”

Mickelson has another goal this week besides winning.

He’s played his way onto every Ryder Cup team since making his first in 1995, but he’s 10th in the points heading into the final event before the top nine spots are determined. If he doesn’t move up at Valhalla, he’ll have to rely on a fallback position: being one of three picks by captain Tom Watson.

That would seem a mere formality.

Mickelson would prefer to claim his place without Watson’s help.

Welcome aboard: Newcomers Maryland and Rutgers will get the full flavor of the Big Ten by playing in the East. With Stefon Diggs and Deon Long, the Terrapins have one of the conference’s most dangerous receiving corps. Rutgers should be competent offensively with new coordinator Ralph Friedgen; the defense could be a problem.

Lions’ den: Penn State’s Franklin has his hands full until NCAA sanctions end in a couple years. His most pressing issue is figuring out how to keep QB Christian Hackenberg upright.

The offensive line and receivers are the biggest weaknesses.

Michigan shuffle: Coach Brady Hoke is looking to reenergize his program after a narrow win over Akron and losses in six of the last eight games. He brought in Doug Nussmeier from Alabama to run the offense and gave each of his defensive assistants new positions to coach.

Best backs: Nebraska’s Ameer Abdullah (1,690 yards) and Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon (1,609) are the nation’s top two returning rushers and both are in the Heisman Trophy conversation.

On Wisconsin: A year after setting school records for rushing and total offense, the Badgers started practice having to decide between QBs Joel

Stave and Tanner McEvoy and figure out how to replace prodigious WR Jared Abbrederis.

The Badgers also lost six of the defense’s front seven.

Looking for mojo: Northwestern, Minnesota, Illinois and Purdue in the West and Indiana in the East are teams looking to move up. Northwestern missed a bowl for the first time since 2007, Minnesota lost three straight after an 8-2 start and Illinois beat Purdue in a pillow fight. If Indiana’s explosive offense can ever get help from the defense, the Hoosiers might make a bowl.

Hot seats: Michigan’s Hoke has the program trending downward since going 11-2 in 2011, his first season. Nebraska hasn’t won a conference title since 1999, and fans are antsy after watching Bo Pelini lose no fewer than four games each of his six seasons. Tim Beckman is 6-18 in two years at Illinois, 1-15 in Big Ten games.

PREDICTED ORDER OF FINISH: East — 1. Michigan State; 2. Ohio State; 3. Michigan; 4. Penn State; 5. Maryland; 6. Indiana; 7. Rutgers West — 1. Iowa; 2. Nebraska; 3. Wisconsin; 4. Northwestern; 5. Minnesota; 6. Illinois; 7. Purdue Title game winner: Michigan State.

Fitness guru helps fat-burning butter coffee find a following in Santa Fe

For The New Mexican

C

offee is more than a beverage. It’s an elixir, a necessity, a philosophy.

When we step up to the bar, we have a plethora of choices: Do we want the simpleness of the brewed cup? Do we crave the exact frothiness of an espresso drink with our favorite milk? Can we wait for the pour-over?

Now, several high-end coffee shops in Santa Fe have added another concept to their menu: butter coffee. While the idea of adding butter to coffee seems at first hedonistic, an over-the-top concession to a food porn-addicted culture that puts bacon on doughnuts, it is quite the opposite.

Butter coffee, according to its devotees, may be one of the keys to optimum health.

The drink is associated with careful nutrition and vigorous exercise, and its growing presence in Santa Fe emanates out of an unlikely place — a crossfit gym.

Tait Fletcher is a nutrition pirate, an ex-UFC fighter with slew of tattoos and a Game of Thrones beard. He’s also an entrepreneur, stuntman, bar owner, physical trainer and actor (you may remember him as white supremacist “Lester” on Breaking Bad). His studio, Undisputed Fitness, is a crossfit/martial arts gym at the Solana Center with a cult following. It’s all-business, a crossfit box with massive clanking metal equipment, a no-nonsense fighting mat and intimidatingly chiseled people walking around in T-shirts from jiu jitsu tournaments they probably won.

And just inside the door is a cute little makeshift coffee bar, where the gym staff prepares butter coffee for patrons and anyone else who either wants to try it or has already adopted it as an important part of their daily regime.

Butter coffee goes by various names: Paleo coffee, primal coffee or Bulletproof coffee.

Fletcher’s coffee company is called Caveman Coffee, which he owns with UFC fighter Keith Jardine and L.A.-based fitness trainer Lacie Mackey. Fletcher, a graduate of St. John’s College in Santa Fe, talks about health and nutrition with more nuance and thoughtfulness (and F-bombs) than your doctor probably does.

Fletcher prepares his brew by combining hot coffee with a tablespoon-ish of butter and a splash of MCT oil (medium chain trigylceride) in a blender. The whipped result is frothy, mild and surprisingly light in texture. He never bothers to actually weigh the ingredients, but he estimates that the proportions come out to about a tablespoon each of butter and MCT oil per cup.

MCT oil, Fletcher explains, is derived from either palm or coconut oil. Without getting too technical, he says MCT is a kind of large molecule oil that was once vilified by the medical establishment, but which is now considered to be a healthful fat. Caveman Coffee derives its MCT from coconut oil.

“Coconut oil has a molecular structure that’s thick and will harden at room temperature,” Fletcher says. “MCT oil has a smaller molecular structure, it can be assimilated by the body easier, and it stays a liquid, is more bioavailable. Ours also has boric acid in it, which is one of the larger molecular chains in coconut oil that often in MCT gets filtered out because of its size.”

The oil, whichever you use, is combined with grass-fed butter (generally Kerrygold brand, but Fletcher uses goat butter) in a blender and emulsified into a creamy texture.

It can be served hot or cold over ice, although when drinking it cold, Fletcher suggests to finish it before the butter begins to solidify.

First-timers should tiptoe slowly into drinking butter coffee, however, as MCT oil can be tough to digest for those who aren’t used to it. Devotees explain that this effect goes away once the body acclimatizes to it, but overdoing it initially can lead to an uncomfortable afternoon.

The basic idea behind butter coffee is simple: When combined with a diet low in carbs and high in good fats and proteins, the butter/ oil coffee is said to help teach your body to burn fat for fuel.

Buttered buzz

Butter coffee is made with three key ingredients: brewed coffee, grass-fed goat or cow butter, and MCT oil, a kind of large molecule oil that was once vilified by the medical establishment, but which is now considered to be a healthful fat.

high-performance diet from Zone to true Paleo, backs this claim up with personal experience. Fletcher initially started drinking butter coffee on a movie set, and he noticed the results in his own body.

“I gained seven-eight pounds, but was super lean, dense and fast,” he says.

And while the concept of putting butter in coffee might be alarming to people conditioned to believe that half-and-half would kill them, he says, “There’s a difference between fat the nutrient and fat the adipose tissue. It’s a misnomer, most people go by it.”

Fletcher was a coffee enthusiast before launching his own roast. Beans under the

Caveman Coffee label are roasted by Albuquerque roasting company Villa Myriam, and are selected for how well they paired with butter and MCT oil.

“Dave’s a master roaster — what sommeliers are to wine. Dave is a roaster beyond compare,” Fletcher says of David Certain, the roaster for Villa Myriam.

Caveman Coffee comes in two flavors: “White Gold,” a light roast finished before the first beans crack, and “Black Diamond,” a darker roast for those who prefer more robust flavor. Both are available online on the Caveman Coffee website, along with the brand’s own MCT oil.

Buttered coffee was originally developed by biohacker David Asprey, tech nerd and founder of a company called The Bulletproof Executive, which defines a system of diet, exercise and habits that are designed to optimize the human mind and body. The coffee, apparently, is a big part of this endeavor. Fletcher knows Asprey personally, though the two have a touchy relationship at this point.

You can also get butter coffee at Iconik and Ohori’s, but some people order it without much thought to how it fits into their lifestyle, Fletcher says.

“A lot of people don’t know what it is, and they drink it every day,” says Iconik barista Miranda Scott, shrugging. “They just order it because it sounds unique. We sell a lot of it, maybe 20 a day … but when you have your Bulletproof [coffee] with your bagel … that’s sort of beside the point.”

Soon, Undisputed Fitness will get as serious about its butter coffee as it is about training: In September, the whole gym will move to a new space in the old Santa Fe Mountain Sports location off Baca Street, where it will expand the coffee bar.

Fletcher is glad to see the trend growing.

“People think it’s crazy at first, and now it’s nice to see oh, OK, it’s happening,” he says, smiling and sipping from his glass jar. “I don’t care about having a business. I care about empowering people and leading people to a different consciousness and being accountable to yourself and your food, what you take into your body.”

S.F. Culinary Academy names winning student restaurant

Summer berries nestled in cake

The Santa Fe Culinary Academy announced Tuesday that it plans to install a Mediterranean-style food truck concept inside its student restaurant.

A five-member panel of local restaurant professionals selected the food-truck concept called Shish — developed by student Amy Leilani — late last month after the students in the academy’s professional program pre- Amy Leilani sented their final projects, which challenged them to design their own restaurant.

“Diners can expect a fun atmosphere when dining at Shish,” Leilani said. “The menu is straight-up good, happy, sustainable food with something for everyone.”

The menu will feature dolmas, lamb kebabs and baklava, among other items, the academy said. The restaurant, which will feature counter service, will be open from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, beginning Aug. 13. It will be open through Aug. 28. To make reservations, call 983-7445.

Special to The Washington Post

Embedding summer berries in a creamy cake batter creates little fruity pockets and, along the way, a nifty cake for serving as dessert, with midafternoon iced tea or coffee or as a casual treat.

The operative word, for me, is “treat” — a fun thing to make, have on hand and enjoy.

That description fits my Blueberry Cake Squares.

BLUEBERRY CAKE SQUARES Makes 16 servings 2 cups flour ¾ teaspoon baking powder ¾ teaspoon baking soda ¼ teaspoon salt, preferably fine sea salt 1 cup blueberries, picked over

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature ¾ cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract ¾ cup sour cream Confectioners’ sugar, for sprinkling Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat the inside of an 8-by-8 baking pan (2 inches deep) with nonstick flour-and-oil spray.

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt onto a sheet of wax paper.

Toss the blueberries with 1½ teaspoons of the sifted flour mixture in a medium bowl until thoroughly coated.

Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on medium speed

until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

On moderately high speed, blend in the granulated sugar in two additions, beating for 45 seconds after each addition.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 30 seconds (or until just incorporated) after each addition.

Blend in the vanilla extract. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

On low speed, beat in half of the flour mixture, the sour cream, then the remaining flour mixture, mixing just until the flour is absorbed.

Scatter the coated blueberries over the batter; use a flexible spatula to fold them in. Scrape the batter into the pan, smoothing the surface evenly. Bake for

45 minutes or until the cake has risen and set and is golden brown on top. The baked cake will pull away slightly from the sides of the baking pan. Cool the cake completely.

Just before serving, sift confectioners’ sugar evenly over the top.

Cut the cake into 16 squares.

emember that killer blonde in high school? Sure you do — every school had one. Tall, aloof, didn’t give you a second look — or a first. The less enlightened among us might have described her as “smokin’ hot to look at but way too chilly to touch.” Well, if she ended up in Avila Beach, Calif., then she’s in the right place.

Avila and the surrounding towns of Shell and Pismo Beach sit on some of the most beautiful coastline in all of California. And that’s saying a lot. Wide beaches hug towering bluffs. The sun kisses the breaks of large, rolling waves. It makes you want to just dive right in. And I did just that, taking the leap on an impossibly bright June morning.

Ouch.

The water’s cold. Thermal wet suit cold.

Not sure if the Beach Boys ever got up here.

Avila Beach is four hours south of the bonechilling beauty of the San Francisco Bay and almost as cold. But that’s not a bad thing, say the locals. “The colder water means fewer people, less pollution and easier surfing for me,” says local real estate agent Lance Morales.

The coast here is pretty raw and relatively undeveloped. The average ocean temperature in July is 57 degrees. In Newport Beach, more than 200 miles south, it’s about 70.

What does that mean? Fewer tourists, more cows. Yeah, cows.

Just north of Avila is a beautiful strip of land overlooking the Pacific. In, say, Laguna Beach, this property, with those majestic views, would be littered with McMansions, hot tubs and Kardashians. Not here. This is ranch country. Cattle hang out in the bright sun, munch on grass, gaze into the ocean. If you’re a cow, you want this gig.

“We have beautiful beaches here, but they’re more of a backdrop,” says Jason Haas, the owner of Tablas Creek Vineyard in nearby Paso Robles. “The Central Coast isn’t really much of a beach culture.”

Not encumbered with overdevelopment, or much development at all, the area easily accommodates those wonderfully Californian pursuits of self actualization and awareness. For instance, at my hotel, free Wi-Fi and HBO simply weren’t enough. It also offered a YogaDome, a rock-laden Meditation Labyrinth and a Healing Arts Institute. I’m still not quite sure what any of this stuff does, but I love telling people that I did it.

The aesthetic feel of the area draws people such as Michael Laboon, a celebrated local tile artist who bought a house in Shell Beach 17 years ago. “The natural beauty of the place attracts a lot of artists,” says Laboon, whose tile work appears on public areas around San Luis Obispo County. “The beach is spectacular and there’s not the traffic and crowds of Southern California. The water is really inspiring.”

A guide for fliers worried about Ebola

By Scott Mayerowitz The Associated Press

NEW YORK — As the Ebola outbreak in West Africa grows, airlines around the globe are closely monitoring the situation but have yet to make any drastic changes. Below are some key questions about the disease, what airlines are doing and how safe it is to fly.

Question: Why are airlines concerned?

Answer: Airlines quickly take passengers from one part of the globe to another. One sick passenger on a plane could theoretically infect hundreds of people who are connecting to flights to dozens of other countries. Health and airline officials note, however, that Ebola only spreads through direct contact.

Outbreaks of diseases that can spread through the air, such as the flu and severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, are more problematic for airlines.

Question: Should people travel to West Africa?

Answer: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday issued a warning for Americans to avoid nonessential travel to the West African nations of Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

Question: Is Ebola deadly?

Answer: Very much so. If contracted, there is no vaccine and no specific treatment. Ebola has a fatality rate of at least 60 percent. The World Health Organization estimated Monday that there have been more than 880 deaths from the current outbreak.

Question: How is Ebola transmitted?

Answer: The virus only spreads through direct contact with the blood or fluids of an infected person, according to the CDC. It can also be spread through objects, such as needles, that have been contaminated with infected fluids. No airborne transmission has been documented.

Question: Do U.S. airlines fly to West Africa?

Answer: Delta Air Lines flies to Dakar, Senegal; Accra, Ghana; and Lagos, Nigeria. The airline also flies to Monrovia, Liberia, but for unrelated business reasons previously announced, it will cancel that service at the end of September. Delta is letting passengers with flights to the region in the next two weeks push back travel until the end of the month. United Airlines also flies to Lagos, but it has not issued any travel waiver. American Airlines does not fly to Africa.

Question: What are U.S. airlines saying about it?

Answer: There have been no flight cancelations.

All three airlines said they are in regular communication with government agencies and health officials and will follow their recommendations.

Question: What about airlines from other countries?

Answer: European carriers such as Air FranceKLM, British Airways and Lufthansa all fly to Western Africa from their hubs in Paris, Amsterdam, London and Frankfurt.

Lufthansa notes that “there is no risk of getting infected by the Ebola virus via air circulation during flight.” Crews on Brussels Airlines flights have access to special thermoscans to check passengers’ temperature, if they feel it’s necessary. And British Airways has briefed all crew members flying to the region about the “causes and symptoms of Ebola.” The only airline, so far, to cancel any flights is the Middle East airline Emirates. It has suspended its service to Conakry, Guinea, until further notice. It is still flying to Dakar.

Question: Are passengers leaving Africa being screened?

Answer: Since the outbreak erupted, the CDC has sent about two dozen staffers in West Africa to help try to track cases, set up emergency response operations and provide other help to control the outbreak.

Last week, CDC officials said the agency will send 50 more in the next month. CDC workers in Africa also are helping to screen passengers at airports, according to CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden.

Question: Is the U.S. government doing anything extra for arriving passengers?

Answer: Border patrol agents at Washington’s Dulles International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, in particular, are looking out for travelers who might have been exposed to the virus. They’re watching for signs of fever, achiness, sore throat, stomach pain, rash or red eyes. The CDC also has staff at 20 U.S. airports and border crossings evaluating travelers with signs of dangerous infectious diseases and isolating them when necessary.
