WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama claimed credit on Tuesday for an improving economy and defiantly told his Republican adversaries in Congress to “turn the page” by supporting an expensive domestic agenda aimed at improving the fortunes of the middle class. Released from the political constraints of a sagging economy, overseas wars and elections, Obama declared in his sixth State of the Union address that “the shadow of the crisis has passed,” and he vowed

lican issues, such as efforts to adopt legislation that would ban compulsory union dues. The 50-minute speech swung between sounding like a campaign speech (boasting of past accomplishments) to almost poetic language (“Because education is what plants the seeds of wonder, of curiosity, of excitement in a child; points them to opportunities and goals, inspires dreams about careers, and about better days; gives them hope”). She urged lawmakers to choose “progress over politics” and “courage over comfort, change over stagnation, reform over the status quo.”

Obama to GOP: ‘Turn the page’ President vows to fight for overlooked agenda in State of Union speech
By Staci Matlock
Little Mora County rolled the legal dice against a Goliath-sized industry opponent and lost. A federal judge has ruled that an oil and gas drilling ban adopted by the mostly rural northeastern New Mexico county is unconstitutional and invalid. Mora County isn’t the first local jurisdiction to impose restrictions on such activities with the goal of protecting the environment, but U.S. District Judge James O. Browning of Albuquerque said its ordinance went too far. In a 199-page ruling issued Monday, he said the ordinance violated the First Amendment by “chilling” protected activities by corporations. He also found the ordinance violates state law, and that the county lacks the authority to enforce it on state land. The ordinance grew out of concerns for protecting land and water after oil and gas companies in recent years leased mineral rights for more than 30,000 acres in Mora County. Residents became especially worried about potential water pollution from hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” a drilling technique in which pressurized fluids are used to crack open underground rock formations and release oil and gas. Neighboring San Miguel County has approved land use regulations

Police: Doctor shot inside Boston hospital; gunman killed himself
Progress made toward learning contents of Herculaneum library
BOSTON — A man shot a doctor inside a leading Boston hospital Tuesday, critically wounding the physician before killing himself. Authorities said Stephen Pasceri, 55, entered Brigham and Women’s Hospital sometime before 11 a.m. and specifically requested the doctor, who police declined to name because he is a victim. Pasceri, of Millbury, shot the doctor twice just outside an examination room. He then turned the gun on himself, police said. Boston Police Commissioner William Evans said officers conducting a room-by-room search found the gunman dead in an exam room with the weapon. The doctor, meanwhile, suffered life-threatening injuries. The hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, said the doctor was in surgery as of Tuesday evening. It declined to release his name, at the request of his family. Police said Pasceri wasn’t a patient of the doctor’s and they didn’t specify a motive for the shootings.

Pope amuses some and insults others with parenthood remark ROME — Since he became pope nearly two years ago, the world has become accustomed to Pope Francis’ folksy manner. But with his latest choice of words — he said this week that Catholics should not feel compelled to breed “like rabbits” — the pope appears to have set a new standard for the papal vernacular, amusing to some and insulting to others. Speaking to reporters Monday on a return flight from a weeklong trip to Sri Lanka and the Philippines, the pope made the remark and said Catholics should instead practice responsible parenthood, noting that various birth control options exist that do not defy the church’s ban on contraception. But it was the rabbit remark that set the social media sphere aflame. Photos and cartoons of bunnies proliferated on Twitter. In Italy, the pope made front-page news. One commentator for the Turin daily La Stampa rechristened the pope “Father Rabbit.” But some Catholics took offense. Catholics for Choice, which opposes the church’s ban on contraception, said Francis’ remarks were “particularly troubling because of the Catholic hierarchy’s continued global war on birth control and reproductive choice.”
Seeking billions in penalties, feds use Clean Water Act in BP trial NEW ORLEANS — Images of oil-coated birds and testimony about “widespread sociocultural harm” opened the third phase of a trial to establish penalties BP must pay under the federal Clean Water Act for spilling millions of barrels of crude into the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The government wants the oil giant to pay another $13.7 billion for harming not just the birds and fish, but the business climate and social fabric of coastal communities. The pollution caused by the Deepwater Horizon explosion not only killed wildlife, but disrupted livelihoods and exacerbated economic inequality across the Gulf states, anthropologist Diane Austin testified Tuesday. She based her findings on interviews with more than 1,300 people.
Photos show American held in Egypt prison badly bruised and ill CAIRO — Photographs of an American holding a hunger strike in Cairo to protest his imprisonment without charges show him badly bruised and gravely ill, raising alarms about his deteriorating health and possible abuse. On Tuesday the family of the American, Mohamed Soltan, released six photographs taken in prison that showed him unconscious with blood running out of his mouth, sores on his lips and gums, and large bruises on his hands and arms. Soltan, 27, is one of several thousand political prisoners arrested in Egypt during a crackdown on dissent after the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013. He is also a dual citizen of the United States and Egypt who attended high school and college in the Midwest. New Mexican wire services

A Herculaneum Papyrus scroll from a villa in Herculaneum, is shown. Researchers in Naples, Italy, now say that for the first time they can read letters inside of the scroll without unrolling it by using a laserlike beam of X-rays. D.

belonging to the Institut de France in Paris. “This is absolutely a major step forward,” Seales said of the Mocella report. Classical scholars are particularly interested in the physicists’ progress because of the chance of uncovering lost works of Latin and Greek literature. Piso’s grand villa — which is the model for the Getty Villa, part of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles — is thought to have probably contained a large and wide-ranging library, much of which may still exist in unexcavated portions of the building. “It would have been odd for a villa of this sort not to have had a major library,” Janko said. “So this technology, when perfected, does open the way to rediscovering a lot more ancient literature.” The scrolls that have been opened pertain mostly to Greek philosophy and contain several works by Epicurus and his adherent Philodemus. But the library may also have had a Latin section. This could contain some of the many lost works of Roman history and literature. Even the texts of known works would be of great interest. “For a scholar, it would be wonderful to have a manuscript of Virgil written in his lifetime because what we have are medieval manuscripts which have suffered many changes at the hands of copyists,” said David Sider, a professor of classics at New York University.

esearchers have found a key that may unlock the only library of classical antiquity to survive along with its documents, raising at least a possibility of recovering vanished works of ancient Greek and Roman authors such as the lost books of Livy’s history of Rome. The library is that of a villa in Herculaneum, a town that was destroyed in A.D. 79 by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that obliterated nearby Pompeii. Though Pompeii was engulfed by lava, a mix of superhot gases and ash swept over Herculaneum, preserving the documents in a grand villa that probably belonged to the family of Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, the father-in-law of Julius Caesar. Though the hot gases did not burn the many papyrus rolls in the villa’s library, they turned them into cylinders of carbonized plant material. Many attempts have been made to unroll the carbonized scrolls since they were excavated in 1752. But all were highly destructive, and scholars eventually decided to leave the scrolls alone in the hope that better methods would be invented. More than 300 scrolls survive more or less intact, with many more fragments. Researchers led by Vito Mocella, of the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems in Naples, Italy, now say that for the first time, they can read letters inside the scrolls without unrolling them. Using a laserlike beam of X-rays from the European Synchrotron in Grenoble, France, they were able to pick up the very slight contrast between the carbonized papyrus fibers and the ancient ink, soot-based and also made of carbon. The contrast has allowed them to recognize individual Greek letters from the interior of the roll, Mocella’s team reported on Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications. “At least we know there are techniques able to read inside the papyri, finally,” Mocella said. His team is considering several ways to refine the power of their technique. “If the technology is perfected, it will be a real leap forward,” said Richard Janko, a classical scholar at the University of Michigan who has translated some of the few scrolls that can be read. The Mocella team’s work is the second recent advance in reading the Herculaneum scrolls. In 2009, Brent Seales, a computer scientist at the University of Kentucky, succeeded in delineating the physical structure of a Herculaneum scroll by X-ray-computed tomography, a process similar to a CT scan. The layers of papyrus wound up inside the scroll are highly ruffled and irregular because the hot gases liberated all the water from the fibers as well as carbonizing them. The Mocella team’s method visualizes letters free floating inside the scroll, but each letter will need to be assigned to its correct place on Seales’ surface before the letters can form words. Seales and Mocella worked with Herculaneum scrolls acquired by Napoleon in 1802 and

WASHINGTON — The government’s health insurance website is quietly sending consumers’ personal data to private companies that specialize in advertising and analyzing Internet data for performance and marketing, The Associated Press has learned. The scope of what is disclosed or how it might be used was not immediately clear, but it can include age, income, ZIP code, whether a person smokes and if a person is pregnant. It can include a computer’s Internet address, which can identify a person’s name or address when combined with other information collected. The Obama administration says HealthCare.gov’s connections to data firms were intended to help improve the consumer experience. Officials said outside firms are barred from using the data to further their own business interests. There is no evidence that personal information has been misused. But connections to dozens of third-party tech firms were documented by technology experts who analyzed HealthCare.gov and then confirmed by AP. A handful of the companies also were collecting highly specific information. That combination is raising concerns. Leading lawmakers on Tuesday asked the administration to explain how it oversees the data firms to make sure no personally identifiable information is improperly used or shared. “This new information is extremely concerning, not only because it violates the privacy of millions of Americans, but because it may potentially compromise their security,” Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote to the administration. HealthCare.gov is the online gateway to government-subsidized private insurance for people who lack coverage on the job. It serves consumers in 37 states, while the remaining states operate their own insurance markets. A former White House chief information officer, Theresa Payton, said third-party vendors are a weak link on any website. “You don’t need all of that data to do customer service,” said Payton, who served under President George W. Bush. “We know hackers are just waiting at the door, salivating to get at this data.” The administration did not explain how it ensures that companies were following the government’s privacy and security policies.

Yemen on verge of collapse Hadi’s government to the brink of collapse. Yemen’s information minister, Nadia Sakkaf, wrote in an Arabic tweet that the “Yemeni president is being attacked by armed militias that want to overthrow” the government. A government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of concern for his safety, said that Hadi was pinned down by an assault on his residence, about three miles from the palace. In recent days, the Houthis have taken control of state-run media outlets and government buildings, including offices of the Yemeni intelligence service. On Tuesday night, the rebel chief, Abdulmalik Houthi, delivered a long televised statement that stopped short of declaring a change of leadership. He leveled sweeping criticism against Hadi for alleged corruption and for failing to unite a

Four men in Paris court are first to face charges in terror attacks PARIS — French anti-terror prosecutors sought Tuesday to charge four men in connection with the attacks in Paris that left 20 people dead, which would be the first suspects charged in the terrorist attacks.

Mora: Commissioner defends need for law Continued from Page A-1 similar to rules adopted a few years ago by Santa Fe County that restrict oil and gas development but don’t ban it. And Mora County commissioners had been working to create restrictive oil and gas regulations similar to Santa Fe County’s when a group began pushing for an outright ban in Mora County. Two of the three Mora County commissioners in 2013 approved the Mora Community Water Rights and Self-Governance Act, which included the ban on oil and gas drilling. Commissioner Paula Garcia voted against it, worried the county would be sued over the measure. Within a few months, Mora County was, in fact, sued by SWEPI, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, as well as by two private landowners. The Mora land grant association — La Merced de Santa Gertrudis de lo de Mora — joined the lawsuit in support of the ban on oil and gas drilling. New York recently became the first state to ban fracking, although hefty zoning regulations already were in place that left much of the state’s natural gas untouchable. The New York high court in 2014 upheld the right of towns to regulate oil and gas
extraction through land use zoning. Some community rights organizers said Mora County’s ordinance was too farreaching in its attempt to rein in corporations. “It was a fantasy,” said Robin Collier, a longtime community activist from Taos. “I can’t understand how anyone reading that ordinance could have supported it.” The Mora County “community rights” ordinance, as well as versions adopted by local governments elsewhere in the country, was crafted by attorney Thomas Linzey of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund in Pennsylvania to challenge the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling a few years ago that corporations have the same rights as people. Browning found that the ordinance went far beyond the county’s historical lawmaking “just to deprive corporations of their rights.” But in one part of his ruling, he also wrote that SWEPI couldn’t make the case that it was a disadvantaged class suffering a “history of oppression.” “It may be argued that hippies, the mentally disabled and homosexuals have been subject to a history of discrimination and oppression, but such a description cannot be said of corporations,” Browning wrote. “While corporations are persons for constitutional purposes, they still are not real
human beings, deserving of respect and dignity. Corporations are often the most powerful lobbyers in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals across the nation.” County Commissioner John Olivas and Kathleen Dudley, who ran the nonprofit Drilling Mora County in the village of Ocate, had led the push for adoption of the ordinance, saying an outright ban on oil and gas drilling was needed to push back against the power of the industry. “We intrinsically understood that we must challenge unjust laws that give corporations more rights than those who live within their community,” said Dudley, who currently isn’t living in Mora County. “This basic tenet must be changed in order for there to be justice.” Olivas, who lost his bid for re-election last year, did not respond to emails and messages seeking for comment on the judge’s ruling. Meanwhile, Senate Bill 184, introduced in the state Legislature, seeks to take away severance tax bonds from counties that adopt ordinances that increase the cost of oil and gas production or coal mining by more than 25 percent.

Governor: Teacher pay, roads top agenda Continued from Page A-1 The speech hit on some perennial issues for Martinez, such as repealing the law that allows issuance of driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants. “It is time to repeal the dangerous law that gives driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants who come here from around the world,” she said, prompting loud applause from Republicans in the chamber. She also once again urged legislators to end “social promotion” of third-grade students who can’t pass reading tests. “When children cannot read, and yet they are passed along anyway, we do them no favors,” she said. “We discourage them. We frustrate them. We hurt their chances for success in life. We hamper their ability to get a good job. My friends, that does not build self-esteem in a child!” At one point, Martinez took a swipe at her Democratic predecessor, Gov. Bill Richardson, saying, “We have recovered over $29 million in taxpayer money that was squandered in the Richardson-era pay-toplay scandals.” Those funds are from settlements from some plaintiffs in a 2011 lawsuit filed by the State Investment Council against companies and individuals, some accused of politically motivated investments. But there also were new proposals, some of them specific, including: u Raise starting salaries for teachers by $2,000 a year. u Allocate at least $180 mil-
lion for road projects over the next three years. u Create a $50 million “closing fund” for attracting businesses to the state. u Spend more on programs under which the state pays a portion of salaries for new employees during their training periods. u Offer a personal income tax break for small-business owners during the early stages after they start a business. u Give public school teachers pre-loaded $100 debit cards to help defray the costs of school supplies. u End the current system of choosing judges through partisan elections. The governor has rarely, if ever, spoken in public about this, though Appeals Court Judge Miles Hanisee, a Republican Martinez appointee, spoke in favor of the idea during his campaign for election. The governor enthusiastically endorsed adoption of what supporters call a rightto-work bill, under which the state would prohibit union membership as a condition of employment. “I firmly believe that every person should be allowed to choose for themselves whether they want to join a union or contribute to one,” she said to thunderous applause from Republican lawmakers. “This isn’t a complicated concept, and most people agree,” the governor continued. “If a worker wants to join a union, then they will. But it is fundamentally wrong to
At one point, Gov. Susana Martinez took a swipe at her Democratic predecessor, Gov. Bill Richardson. require membership or take money from the paychecks of our workers in order to get a job. For these workers, this is gas money, rent or a car payment.” Opponents argue that rightto-work laws result in lower wages and lost insurance benefits for workers. Martinez, in her speech, declared that “studies have shown that states where workers are allowed to make this choice for themselves have higher employment levels, and companies locate there more often.” The Rio Grande Foundation, a New Mexico free-market research institution that is pushing for right-to-work legislation, has referred to studies that indicate the average right-to-work state has higher employment rates than states that do not have such a law. However, adopting a right to work law doesn’t guarantee that unemployment will go down. U.S. Labor Department statistics from November show eight states with such laws — Mississippi, Georgia, Nevada, Tennessee, South Carolina, Arizona, Michigan and Louisiana — had higher unemployment rates than New Mexico. As for the impact on efforts to lure out-of-state companies, Albuquerque Business First last month interviewed three site
selectors in North Carolina, New Jersey and California who said right-to-work laws are not as important as they used to be for companies seeking new locations. Don Schjeldahl, a North Carolina site selection consultant, told the publication, “Since 1984, right-to-work has steadily become less and less important as a location factor for most companies to the point now that it hasn’t come up on my projects in probably 10 years.” The most emotional part of the speech came when Martinez introduced two Roswell students — Nathaniel Tavarez and Kendal Sanders — who were wounded last year in a school shooting incident. In one of few truly bipartisan moments of the address, the two received a standing ovation from members of both parties. “The last time we were gathered in this chamber together, in fact, they were both in the hospital receiving treatment for their injuries,” Martinez said. “You’ve thankfully seen their beautiful smiles on the news a few times since. … We are pulling for you.” Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@sfnewmexican.com.

Google, Fidelity fuel SpaceX with $1B investment The Associated Press
HAWTHORNE, Calif. — SpaceX has raised $1 billion from Google and Fidelity in a deal that values the spaceship manufacturer at about $10 billion. The infusion announced Tuesday will give Google Inc. and Fidelity Investments a nearly 10 percent stake in SpaceX, a Hawthorne, Calif., company that employs more than 3,000 people. Although privately held SpaceX didn’t reveal any concrete plans, the money could help founder Elon Musk realize his hopes to fly people to Mars within the next 12 years and eventually build a city on the planet. Musk, 43, also has publicly talked about using satellites to provide Internet access to remote parts of the Earth, a mission that Google also has embraced in a separate project that relies on highaltitude balloons. As the owner of the largest Internet search engine and digital ad network, Google stands to make more money if more people can get online.
“Space-based applications, like imaging satellites, can help people more easily access important information, so we’re excited to support SpaceX’s growth as it develops new launch technologies,” Google said in a statement. Donald Harrison, who oversees Google’s corporate development team, will be joining SpaceX’s board of directors as part of the company’s investment. SpaceX, which stands for Space Exploration Technologies, has previously raised money from the Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Valor Equity Partners and Capricorn since its 2002 inception. The Founders Fund was started by Peter Thiel, who teamed up with Musk in the late 1990s to create the online payment service PayPal. Musk also is CEO of electric car maker Tesla Motors and has made headlines for his vision of a high-speed transportation system that would shoot passengers through elevated tubes from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Obama: Vows to boost economy, continue fight against ISIS Continued from Page A-1 to use his final two years in office fighting for programs that had taken a back seat. He called on Congress to make community college free for most students, enhance tax credits for education and child care, and impose new taxes and fees on high-income earners and large financial institutions. “We have risen from recession freer to write our own future than any other nation on Earth,” Obama said in an address to Congress seen by an estimated 30 million people. “Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well? Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and chances for everyone who makes the effort?” The president used the prime-time speech to call on Congress to pass legislation authorizing the fight against the Islamic State. The president said approval of a resolution granting him that power — something he has long argued he does not need to carry out the 5-month-old campaign — would send an important signal. “Tonight, I call on this Congress to show the world that we are united in this mission,” Obama said. “This effort will take time,” he said of the battle to defeat the Islamic State, the Sunni militant group that is also known as ISIS or ISIL. “It will require focus. But we will succeed.”
He also urged lawmakers to lift the trade embargo on Cuba as he moves to normalize relations. Obama met a skeptical Congress hours after vowing to veto Republican legislation that would restrict abortion and speed the approval of natural gas pipelines, the latest in a series of veto threats that reflect his eagerness to confront conservative ideology despite his party’s major losses in the congressional elections last fall. In the speech, he promised that any attempt to roll back his health care law, an overhaul of regulations on Wall Street or his executive actions on immigration would meet the same fate. The president sought to cement an economic legacy that seemed improbable early in his first term, when the country was in near-economic collapse. The speech seemed designed in part to live beyond his presidency by helping to starkly define the differences between Democrats and Republicans ahead of the 2016 presidential election. “The verdict is clear,” Obama said. “Middle-class economics works. Expanding opportunity works. And these policies will continue to work, as long as politics don’t get in the way.” Obama did highlight some potential areas of collaboration with Republicans. He called on Congress to approve a business tax overhaul, the
granting of authority to strike trade deals, and a major initiative to repair crumbling roads and bridges and to modernize the nation’s transportation infrastructure. But the president vowed to push forward with policies that have generated Republican opposition. He called for aggressive action on combating climate change and said he would not back down on changes to the nation’s immigration system. He repeated his support for new regulations on Internet providers and for overriding state laws that limit competition for high-speed service. Republicans dismissed the speech hours before it was delivered. Speaker John A. Boehner circulated a document citing news commentators who questioned Obama’s sincerity and described his proposals, which the White House had circulated for the last three weeks, as fantasy. The document quoted Fox News calling Obama’s plans a “time machine for liberal dreams.” In excerpts from the official Republican response, Sen. Joni Ernst, the freshman Republican from Iowa, said, “Americans have been hurting, but when we demanded solutions, too often Washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies like Obamacare.” Aides to Obama said that although there might be some areas of col-
laboration, the address was intended as a blueprint that Republicans either accepted or rejected. “He’s not going to trim his sails because some people, before he’s given the speech, said they don’t like his ideas,” a senior aide told reporters hours before the president stood in front of the joint session of Congress. Obama’s plans — which would offer free community college for millions of students, paid leave for workers and more generous government assistance for education, child care and retirement savings for the middle class — are to be financed in large part by $320 billion in tax increases over the next decade on higher income earners as well as a fee on large financial institutions. The tax plan would raise the top capital gains tax rate to 28 percent, from 23.8 percent. It would also remove what amounts to a tax break for wealthy people who can afford to hold onto their investments until death. The proposal would repeal a provision that now allows individuals to pass on such assets without taxes ever being assessed on the capital gains that accrued during their lifetimes. Obama would also limit tax benefits for retirement savings for the wealthiest taxpayers, capping tax-preferred individual retirement accounts at about $3.4 million.
Obama also said he wanted to assess a new fee on the largest financial institutions — those with assets of $50 billion or more — based on the amount of risk they took on. Those proposals would pay for the community college initiative, which would cost $60 billion over a decade, as well as an array of new tax credits intended for the middle class. They include a new $500 credit for families with two working spouses; a subsidy of up to $2,500 annually to pay for college; and the tripling, up to $3,000, of an existing tax break to pay for college. “It’s time we stop treating child care as a side issue, or as a women’s issue,” Obama said, “and treat it like the national economic priority that it is for all of us.” Some of the tax incentives Obama proposed have found support among Republicans, but most of them have angrily dismissed the plan since the White House previewed it over the weekend, calling it a nonstarter that would reignite a bitter class-based battle without doing anything to fuel economic growth. Obama waved aside those concerns and said enacting his proposals would represent bold action to improve the lives of all Americans by making sure that everyone had a “fair shot” at receiving the skills and opportunities that lead to economic success.

ANALYSIS
Obama’s unlikely goals raise questions of usefulness By Peter Baker The New York Times
WASHINGTON — When President Barack Obama stood before the nation Tuesday night to outline his agenda for the coming year, he knew he could count on one inescapable reality: Very little, if any, of what he proposed would ever reach his desk for his signature. Facing the first Congress of his tenure controlled by the opposition, Obama opted for a message that tacked left even as Capitol Hill tacked right. The question at the end of the evening boiled down to whether advancing initiatives with little or no hope of passage constituted an act of bold leadership or a feckless waste of time. Every president throws out ideas in a State of the Union address knowing they will not succeed, at least right away — to frame the debate, lay down an opening bid, draw a line against adversaries or set the stage for action. But rarely has the disconnect between a president and Congress seemed as wide as when Obama presented plans that ran contrary to the mandate Republicans claim from November’s elections. Unlike President Bill Clinton, who moved to co-opt Republican issues like crime and welfare on his own terms when the other party captured Congress, Obama chose to stay true to his more liberal values on taxes, education and social issues. While calling for cooperation, he clearly seemed to expect little of it and appeared to make little effort to seek it out. Obama’s advisers said he saw little reason to hold back on his ambitions just because Democrats lost the midterm elections and Republicans were unlikely to go along. Jon Favreau, his former chief speechwriter, said that pre-emptively scaling back his goals would be like going into a job interview and asking for the salary the employer was likely to give rather than bargaining for more.
“Now, do I personally think the Republicans will be willing to meet the president halfway on tax reform?” Favreau said. “No, but that shouldn’t stop the president from proposing a solution that he feels would actually help solve the problem.” But Republicans said Obama risked looking ineffectual if he simply promoted initiatives that would never be taken seriously by Congress. Steve Schmidt, who worked in President George W. Bush’s White House and managed Sen. John McCain’s campaign against Obama in 2008, said proposing free community college for most students and more paid family leave for parents seemed ludicrously unrealistic. “There’s a student body presidency campaign component to this — no more homework and go home at 1 p.m.,” Schmidt said. “You would expect he would gain the political maturity to come into the Congress with an open hand instead of a clenched fist,” he added. John Feehery, a former top adviser to Republican congressional leaders, said there was still value in a president’s making long-shot proposals. “It’s important for setting the contours of the debate and for sparking the imagination of the listening audience,” Feehery
Rarely has the disconnect between a president and Congress seemed as wide as when Obama presented plans that ran contrary to the mandate Republicans claim. said. “It helps if you don’t get laughed out of the room, but it’s hard to know what will be viewed as inspirational and what will be seen as insipid.” An often-cited example of the latter was Bush’s proposal to send astronauts to Mars, an attempt to recapture the spirit of John F. Kennedy’s promise to reach the Moon but in the end an idea that drew scorn and went nowhere. At the same time, after Democrats captured Congress in 2006, Bush, like Obama now, defied what the opposition saw as its mandate — in that case ignoring their demands to pull out of the Iraq War and instead sending more troops. One difference, of course, is that as commander in chief, Bush had more latitude to operate on his own overseas than Obama does now at home. He may propose increasing taxes on the wealthy and cutting them for the middle class, but he has no authority to do so without Congress. His community col-
lege plan seems destined for the same fate as his past proposal to expand preschool programs. Still, even without Congress, promoting these ideas on one of the biggest presidential stages allows Obama to force other political actors to respond. He hopes to embarrass Republicans who protect the rich from
more taxes, returning to a longfavored Democratic argument as the party tries to recover from its November thrashing. And he can point to his support for an increased minimum wage as a template for partial progress. Although he has yet to win a vote in Congress on the issue, Obama created momentum for a number of states to raise the minimum wage without waiting for Washington and for some large, prominent businesses to raise pay on their own. “With north of 30 million viewers tuning in, the State of the Union is the Super Bowl of political events,” said Josh Gottheimer, a speechwriter for Clinton. “It’s an opportunity for
a president to drive a new proposal down the field, regardless of legislative viability, and literally change the debate in one fell swoop.” Michael Waldman, who also wrote for Clinton in the White House, said it would be a mistake for a president to let legislative politics stop him from proposing what he supports. “This is a moment when the policy shelf is empty,” Waldman said. “We don’t know what the big debates and policy fights of the post-Obama era will be. He is putting in his 2 cents. Perhaps Obama’s ideas won’t get enacted. But the Republican leadership’s ideas won’t get enacted either.”

Jury selection begins in Colo. shooting trial Nearly 7,000 residents have been summoned for pool By Sadie Gurman and Dan Elliott The Associated Press
CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The first time James Holmes appeared in court, he wore chains and an orange jail jumpsuit and looked dazed, with his hair dyed a comic-book shade of orange. As the first day of jury selection ended Tuesday in the Colorado theater shooting case, it was a far different Holmes at the defense table: The jail uniform was replaced with khakis, an untucked blue shirt with white stripes and a blue blazer. His hair, now a dark brown, was neatly trimmed. Later in the day, he wore a different shirt. The former graduate student whose attorneys acknowledge that he opened fire at a midnight Batman movie back in 2012 also had a curly, mediumlength beard and wore ovalshaped reddish glasses. No restraints were visible, though the judge had ordered him to be tethered to the floor in a way the public couldn’t see for the trial. Holmes’ more conventional appearance was an indication that the case was drawing closer to the time when a jury would see the defendant accused of killing 12 people and wounding 70 others at a suburban Denver theater. But first attorneys have to sort through thousands of potential jurors. Court officials initially summoned a jury pool of 9,000 people, the largest in the nation’s history. But that figure later fell to about 7,000 after some summons could not be delivered and some people were excused. The pool will be winnowed to a handful in the weeks ahead. It could take until June to seat the jurors and alternates for a trial that might last until October. Holmes, who has pleaded
not guilty by reason of insanity to murder and attempted murder charges, could get the death penalty if conJames victed. Holmes It took deputies longer than expected to search and screen the first prospective jurors and bring them into the courtroom. Some of the 130 or so people carried books or newspapers or looked at their cellphones as they waited to pass through a security station in the hallway. They heard instructions from the judge and began filling out surveys with 77 questions. Seven prospective jurors were dismissed, either because they showed proof that they live outside Arapahoe County or brought a note from a doctor. One showed up at the wrong trial; prosecutors suspected another of sleeping in the courtroom. Judge Carlos Samour suggested earlier that attorneys might not have to screen all the prospective jurors before beginning to select panelists. He said the process could stop after a few thousand people are screened if both sides agree they have a large enough pool of people. Earlier in the day, the defense said it objected to the use of a video during the trial, saying prosecutors gave it to them too late. The video is apparently from the jail where Holmes has been held, but its contents have not been made public. The judge also went over ground rules for jury selection and the trial, urging attorneys on both sides to be professional and respectful. “We’re going to be spending a lot of time together,” Samour said. The scope of jury selection and the trial are testaments to the logistical hurdles of trying the rare case of a mass shooter who survives his attack.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe vowed to try to save the men, while also saying he would not give in to intimidation. The crisis could also create a different sort of challenge for Abe, who was traveling in the Middle East when the video appeared. Political analysts said the images of the young Japanese men, dressed in the same kind of orange jumpsuits worn by hostages who were beheaded in previous videos, could mean trouble for Abe by turning Japan’s deeply pacifist public against his pursuit of a more active role for Japan in global security issues. The video, posted by extremists of the Islamic State, showed the two Japanese men, identified as Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa, kneeling on a hillside with the knife-wielding militant standing between them. The militant appeared to be reading a prepared statement, demanding that Tokyo pay a ransom of $200 million within 72 hours. The militant linked the ransom demand to an offer that Abe made Saturday, promising nonmilitary aid to nations aligned against the Islamic State. Abe pledged $200 million to help shore up the government of Iraq and to assist refugees in Turkey, Syria and Lebanon who have fled the Islamic State’s rise. “To the Japanese public, just s By Martin Fackler and Alan Cowell

Meeting Date and Time: Wednesday, February 4, 2014 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM Meeting Location: Hondo Fire Station No. 2, 645 Old Las Vegas Hwy, Santa Fe, NM The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, is sponsoring a public information meeting to provide information and gather community input on two proposed bridge maintenance and rehabilitation projects along I-25, Santa Fe County, New Mexico. The first bridge project is located at Bob Cat Crossing (Milepost 288.3), and involves removing asphalt from decks, mill and inlay of new asphalt, deck patching and grinding, and painting and epoxy overlay. The second bridge project is located at Nine Mile Bridge (MP 286.8), and involves removing asphalt from decks, mill and inlay of new asphalt, deck patching and grinding, painting and epoxy overlay, and lifting the bridge to meet federal requirements for clearance. Projects are scheduled for construction early summer and late summer 2015, respectively. During construction activities, both bridges will remain open with one-lane closures. However, it is anticipated that Nine Mile Bridge will be closed at least one night during bridge lifting activities, and a detour will be provided. At the public information meeting, NMDOT project team members will present an overview of both bridge projects and will accept comments and questions. Comments may also be mailed, emailed, phoned, or faxed by February 18, 2015 to Cassandra D’Antonio, Sites Southwest, 121 Tijeras, N.E., Suite 3100, Albuquerque, NM 87102, Attn: NMDOT I-25 Santa Fe County Bridge Projects, cdantonio@sites-sw.com, phone 505.822.8200, fax 505.822.8282.

2015 Legislature Democrats: Governor ‘dead wrong’ on major issues Party leaders say Martinez’s speech was loaded with ‘gimmicks’ By Patrick Malone The New Mexican
Democratic leaders of the New Mexico Senate scoffed at Gov. Susana Martinez’s State of the State speech on Tuesday, calling it loaded with “gimmicks” and out of touch with the problems facing the state. They vowed to block key policy objectives the governor identified in her speech, including right-to-work legislation, a bill that would hold back students in third grade if they’re not reading well and a repeal of the law that allows undocumented immigrants to get driver’s licenses. “Those are all gimmicks,” said Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, adding another Martinez proposal to the
list: $100 debit cards for teachers to buy classroom supplies. “Come on, that might get you through the first month of school,” he said. “That’s a gimmick.” Martinez often used the word courage in her address, which focused on abandoning the status quo to improve education and economics in New Mexico. Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, seized the theme of Martinez’s speech and used it to criticize her policies. “It really takes courage to admit when you’re wrong, and I’ve got to tell you, the governor needs to admit that she’s wrong on education and on rightto-work,” Sanchez said during a news conference. “She’s dead wrong.” With Republicans in control of the House for the first time in 60 years, the Senate, where Democrats hold a 25-17 advantage, stands as the lone obstacle to many of Martinez’s plans. Sanchez made it clear his caucus intends to block some of the gover-
nor’s top priorities and push a few of its own, even if they run counter to the political current at the Roundhouse. Although some more centrist Democrats in the Senate could make it a close vote on right-to-work legislation, Sanchez said he is confident the proposal — which would prevent unions from requiring workers to pay dues — will be defeated. Martinez regards right-to-work legislation as a way of making the state more appealing to businesses looking to locate here. Sanchez sees the proposal as something that would suppress wages and employer-sponsored health care in a state that’s already among the poorest in the nation. Sanchez said Democrats in the Senate also will be unyielding on Martinez’s efforts to repeal the law that allows immigrants in the country without legal status to get driver’s licenses. “It would be my preference that there is no compromise on that issue,” Sanchez said.
Sen. Jacob Candelaria, D-Albuquerque, said the governor’s speech, which was weighted with references to children, ignored the impacts that a repeal of the immigrant license law would have on some 90,000 children in the state who are lawful U.S. citizens and whose parents are now eligible to drive legally. “Those are kids that can no longer get driven to school, can’t get driven to the emergency room, can’t get driven to their doctors’ appointments,” Candelaria said. “So I think, as a party, we care about every single New Mexico child, not just the ones that it’s popular to care about.” Sanchez called out Martinez for bringing to the podium during her speech two students who survived being shot a year ago at Berrendo Middle School in Roswell. He said it was disingenuous, considering the governor’s stance on gun control, such as her opposition to background checks at gun shows. Senate Democrats also plan to push
New speaker vows bipartisan spirit Don Tripp, a Republican from Socorro, was elected along party lines By Milan Simonich The New Mexican
here was plenty of groundbreaking history but little drama Tuesday when Rep. Don Tripp won election as speaker of the New Mexico House of Representatives. Tripp, a businessman from Socorro, became the first Republican to take the speaker’s gavel since 1953. He won the job in 37-32 vote that broke right down party lines. Every Republican member voted for Tripp, as they had pledged to do in November when they nominated him by acclamation. House Democrats nominated and voted for their budget hawk, Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela of Santa Fe, who is 79 years old and has announced that this is his final term in a House career that began in 1987. One Democrat, Rep. Debbie Rodella of Española, was excused from the session. She was the only member who did not cast a ballot for speaker. Tripp recognized that his victory was a product of partisanship, though he said his goal was for Republicans and Democrats to pull together during the 60-day session. “I’d like to thank the members of my party for having faith in my leadership, for believing that a little-known jeweler from Socorro could bring two parties together in a bipartisan way to advance our state,” he said. Tripp generally struck a conciliatory chord in his speech, but he took a hard stand for Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s call for mass retention of third-graders who score below par on standardized reading tests. “Our schools are in need of reform,” Tripp said. “We continue to pass our children on to the next grade, even when they cannot read.” Martinez hit that theme in her speech, too. Democrats later said that she and Tripp were embracing a failed policy from Florida by
T
legislation that would raise the state’s minimum wage to around $10 an hour from the current rate of $7.50 and tie its future growth to changes in the cost of living. Sanchez said the absence of any reference to her veto last year of legislation that would have raised the minimum wage, or discussion of the controversial behavioral health care shake-up that her administration led, signaled that Martinez was dodging some of her administration’s failures in the address. While Martinez preached bipartisanship in her speech, Sanchez said, working cooperatively with Democrats has not been her practice. Rather, he said Martinez during her first term clung rigidly to her own plans, leaving little room for negotiation. “If that’s bipartisanship, then let me out the door,” he said, “because I don’t want any part of it.” Contact Patrick Malone at 986-3017 or pmalone@sfnewmexican.com.

advocating wholesale retention of third-graders, and leaving parents out of a crucial decision as to whether a third-grader should be held back.“He gave a solid, statesmanlike speech,” said freshman Rep. Javier Martinez, D-Albuquerque. Varela publicly congratulated Tripp. “I have confidence in you, Mr. Speaker,” Varela said. Tripp during his speech singled out House Minority Leader Brian Egolf of Santa Fe as he promised a bipartisan spirit. “I look forward to working closely with you on issues that matter most for our state,” Tripp said to Egolf. Tripp’s fellow Republicans said they were impressed with the clarity,
brevity and sincerity of his speech. “It was down to earth and from the heart,” said Rep. Larry Larrañaga, R-Albuquerque. “Don has a quiet passion for New Mexico, and that came through.” Later in the afternoon, Tripp named Larrañaga as chairman of the House Appropriations and Finance Committee, perhaps the biggest plum of the committee assignments. That 17-member committee is composed of nine Republicans and eight Democrats. Tripp kept Varela on the committee, something many Republicans said was a smart move because of Varela’s deep institutional knowledge of state finances. Tripp also retained Rep. Stephanie
Legislative roundup Days remaining in session: 59 Clerk makes history: The House of Representatives elected Denise Greenlaw Ramonas as chief clerk of the House on Tuesday. She is the first woman to hold that title in New Mexico. Her duties include overseeing voting procedures and day-today operations of the chamber. Ramonas is a lawyer with experience guiding strategy for U.S. Senate Republicans and was legislative director to former U.S. Sen. Pete Domenici. Ramonas defeated the Democrats’ nominee for chief clerk, Socorro Aragón, by a 38-31 vote, with Rep. Miguel Garcia, D-Albuquerque, as the only Democrat to join Republicans in voting for Ramonas. She replaces Stephen Arias of Santa Fe, who held the post for more than three decades. New sergeant at arms: The House of Representatives elected Steve Shaw, a 29-year veteran of law enforcement, as its new sergeant at arms on Tuesday. He has worked at the Rio Rancho and Jemez Pueblo departments of public safety. He was unopposed. No Rodella: Rep. Debbie Rodella, D-Española, was the only member of the House who wasn’t present Tuesday when other representatives took the oath of office. She was in federal court with her husband, former Rio Arriba County sheriff Tommy Rodella, who unsuccessfully sought a new trial after
Garcia Richard, D-Los Alamos, as a member of the committee. She is beginning her second term. The other committee chairman that Tripp chose immediately was Rep. Paul Bandy, R-Aztec. He will lead the House Rules and Order of Business Committee. Bandy said in an interview that his committee would meet Wednesday morning to begin work on procedures that will figure into the way the House will operate under Tripp’s leadership.

Susana Martinez’s State of the State speech.
New Mexico Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara Vigil is asking legislators to allocate about $171.1 million to run the state’s judicial system in the 2015-16 fiscal year, an increase of about $14.6 million — or 11 percent — over last year’s budget. Her argument? Even with the increase, operation of the courts statewide represents only a fraction (about 2.66 percent) of the state’s overall general fund spending. And — Vigil wrote in an introduction to the budget request — judicial budgets have increased at a modest rate in recent years, growing by only 3.64 percent in the past six years compared to the 5.4 percent overall increase in general fund spending for the same period. The budget request includes more money for interpreters, jurors and “problem-solving” courts, which handle cases involving repeat offenders who struggle with substance abuse or mental illness. The following is a breakdown of the top items in the judiciary’s requested increase: u $8.9 million would be used to increase the base operating budgets of the courts. u $1.6 million would go to boost funds for jurors and interpreters, with about $662,500 going to increase the hourly pay for jurors from $6.25 per hour to the state minimum wage of $7.50 per hour. u $871,000 would help pay for court-appointed attorneys to represent parents and children in a growing number of abuse and neglect cases. u $822,200 is earmarked for expenses associated with two new judgeships, one in Albuquerque’s 2nd Judicial District and another in the 3rd Judicial District in Las Cruces. u $775,000 would go the state’s courts to provide enhanced services for repeat offenders with drug and alcohol problems as part of a program officials say is five times less expensive and twice as effective as incarceration in preventing recidivism. u $200,000 would be spent to analyze security threats and proposed solutions for addressing them. The courts also are requesting about $7.7 million in capital outlay funds. That money is slated to be spent on equipment for courthouses around the state. Albuquerque’s 2nd Judicial District is in line to receive $1.3 million for a new evidencepresentation system, if the capital spending is approved, and Bernalillo County Metro Court is hoping to receive $1.6 million to plan, design and build a new courtroom. The First Judicial District — which serves the counties of Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Los Alamos — would get $8,000 of the capital outlay money to purchase security equipment for the courthouse in Rio Arriba County.

Taos sheriff: Buried remains ID’d City panel Investigators say woman died of a traumatic head wound By Andrew Oxford The Taos News
TAOS — Buried remains found in the Carson area Christmas Day have been identified as those of a Colorado woman, the Taos County Sheriff’s Office says. Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe did not name the woman but said she had ties to Taos and was reported missing last year. A preliminary report from the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator says the woman died of a traumatic wound to the head, Hogrefe told The Taos News on Monday. He said the sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate her death as a homicide. Investigators have identified two persons of interest who are believed to be acquain-

tances of the woman, Hogrefe said, adding that the sheriff’s office is working with the Taos Police Department and New Mexico State Police to locate those people. Hogrefe said the woman was likely killed and buried within the last year and was identified through medical records. Investigators combed through dozens of missing persons cases from New Mexico and surrounding states, narrowing the possibilities to two and confirming the woman’s identity with the help of forensic examiners, according to the sheriff, who took office Jan. 1. The remains were found Dec. 25 by a local resident who was hiking in the Two Peaks area with her husband and their dogs. Elizabeth Hagerty told The Taos News earlier this month that one of her dogs found what appeared to be a burned piece of a woman’s bra. The dogs proceeded to a hole nearby, which they began digging up.
She said the ground appeared burned and seemed to have been disturbed by animals. A bone was found less than 3 inches beneath the rocky soil, Hagerty said, and the couple unearthed what appeared to be a human femur with flesh still attached. Hagerty called 911 shortly after 2 p.m. Dec. 25. Taos County Sheriff’s Office personnel met with her and her husband and went to the site that afternoon. Deputies left the site unsecured until late Dec. 26, raising concerns from Hagerty, who took to Facebook calling for action from law enforcement. Deputies and personnel from the Office of the Medical Investigator excavated the site Dec. 27, and the remains were taken to Albuquerque for an autopsy. Hogrefe said an autopsy report still had not been finalized as of Monday afternoon. This story first appeared in The Taos News, a sister paper of The Santa Fe New Mexican.

Ex-sheriff’s lawyer failed to produce new evidence By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican
ALBUQUERQUE — U.S. District Court Judge James O. Browning denied a motion for a new trial for convicted former Rio Arriba County sheriff Tommy Rodella on Tuesday after the onetime lawman’s lawyer failed to produce new evidence in a road-rage case. A day before Rodella’s sentencing hearing, his attorney, Robert Gorence, argued Tommy that prosecutors had Rodella used Rodella’s son’s medical records in an “egregiously misleading way” to discredit Tommy Rodella Jr. as a defense witness. The lawyer also argued that prosecutors had violated court proceeding rules by not producing those records to Gorence before the trial began. The former sheriff was convicted Sept. 26 of violating Española resident Michael Tafoya’s civil rights while brandishing a firearm. Prosecutors have said Rodella — and his son — tailgated Tafoya and started a three-mile chase that ended with Rodella striking Tofoya’s face with his badge in a fit of rage. During the trial, Rodella Jr. had testified in cross examination that he was taking psychotropic drugs, was diagnosed with PTSD and had memory problems after suffering a head injury during a 2010 tour with the New Mexico National Guard in Kosovo. Gorence also had planned to introduce an expert witness testimony to challenge the prosecutors’ cross examination of Rodella Jr. But Gorence said he couldn’t retain a witness in time for the Tuesday hearing. Browning told Gorence that he’d had ample time to prepare for the hearing. In his closing statements, Gorence told the judge, “This hearing was fundamentally unfair.” Gorence also told the judge he planned to file motion for the judge to reconsider the motion for a new trial. Rodella is in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service in the Torrance County jail. On Tuesday he wore a red jumpsuit and whispered various things to his family members in the audience, including state Rep. Debbie Rodella, who missed the first day of the 60-day legislative session. Tommy Rodella, 54, faces a mandatory seven years in prison on the firearm count and up to an additional 10 years for the civil rights count. But Gorence has asked the judge for leniency for Rodella because of a medical condition. Rodella’s lawyer has requested a sentence of no more than eight years, with only one year for the civil rights violation. Contact Uriel J. Garcia at 986-3062 or ugarcia@sfnewmexican.com.

R
ail Runner Express trains started making test stops Tuesday at the still-unopened Zia Road Station as part of an effort to monitor traffic patterns in preparation for opening the station, built near St. Francis Drive in 2008 at a cost of $1 million but never used. During simulations, trains stop for the duration they would if the station were open, but no passengers get on or off.
Test stops, planned between 7:25 a.m. and 5:50 p.m. daily through Friday, should not affect the train schedule, a city statement said. Plans for a mixed-use development adjacent to the station, which is meant as a “kiss-and-ride” train stop without parking for commuters, have stalled as landowners and the city wait for the state to act.

PNM loses some backers Renewable energy groups pull support for company’s power-replacement plan By Staci Matlock The New Mexican
Two renewable energy groups are pulling out of an agreement signed last year with Public Service Company of New Mexico regarding the utility’s plan to replace coal power at the San Juan Generating Station near Farmington. The Renewable Energy Industry Association and the New Mexico Independent Power Producers withdrew their support for a stipulation signed Oct. 1, in part because PNM underestimated the cost of coal in its original power-replacement plan.
Several parties and PNM agreed in the stipulation on a number of issues related to the utility’s request to abandon two of four coalfired units at San Juan and replace the power with other sources. A hearing before state regulators over the power replacement plan began Jan. 5 and will continue through Friday. In an earlier setback for PNM, the city of Farmington and its utility, which own a portion of the San Juan Generating Station, decided not to buy any additional capacity that will be available when other partners leave the power plant in 2017. Steve Michel, an attorney for Western Resource Advocates, an environmental law and policy nonprofit that also signed the stipulation, said his group is concerned about

tackles changes to campaign finance code Ethics board explores weaknesses, such as funding by outside groups By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican
Almost a year after Santa Fe mayoral candidates navigated through a public campaign finance system for the first time, a city board has begun looking at possible changes. A string of legal issues and civic concerns helped prompt the review. For example, questions arose after City Councilor Bill Dimas, a former magistrate and police officer, decided to skip the public forums held for voters to get a firsthand look at mayoral candidates. Some taxpayers wondered whether accepting $60,000 in campaign funds from the city should obligate a candidate to take part in forums and debates. When it was revealed that longtime City Councilor Patti Bushee had spent $1,750 on a campaign manager before switching to a publicly financed mayoral campaign, questions arose about whether a candidate should be able to change his or her mind. And when political action committees and others pumped private dollars to support the successful candidacy of Javier Gonzales, a former county commissioner and New Mexico Democratic Party power broker who disavowed their help, government watchers decried the financial influence of outside interests as the biggest shortcoming of all. The city’s Ethics and Campaign Review Board is studying how weaknesses in the campaign law that surfaced last year can be remedied, either through clarifying language or amendments. Progress has been slow. At its last meeting, on Dec. 17, the board formed a three-person subcommittee to develop a priority list of the most serious problems with the code. The subcommittee didn’t prepare a written report ahead of a meeting planned for 3 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21, at City Hall, 200 Lincoln Ave. “It is my understanding the subcommittee will be presenting ideas on developing a work plan for the next couple meetings,” Zack Shandler, an assistant city attorney, said in an email Tuesday. In December, the board also set a goal of fixing flaws in the system before next year’s municipal election. Former City Councilor Karen Heldmeyer was among only three members of the public who attended the December meeting, and she is encouraging people to attend Wednesday’s meeting to voice their concerns. “Last March’s election was the first one where mayoral candidates could receive public campaign financing and I know there was a lot of interest and concern about how that was handled. In particular, I heard a lot of people talking about the relationship between public financing and outside funding and assistance, whether it was from political committees or independent groups,” Heldmeyer said in an email to her contact list. “But if only three people are concerned about this issue, the city may not see these campaign issues as important,” she added. “That’s why, if you have concerns about what happened during the last election — and you can remember them — you need to bring them to the [Ethics and Campaign Review Board’s] attention.” The participation of two political action committees and other privately financed groups that supported Gonzales is among the top concerns. “These entities spent heavily — ultimately more than any of the candidates — to support one of the three mayoral candidates,” Jim Harrington, state chairman of Common Cause New Mexico, a government watchdog group, wrote in a Sept. 26 memo to the board. “Although we will probably never know for certain how much, if at all, this activity actually helped the candidate these groups were supporting, it could well have had an impact on the outcome of the election.” Common Cause proposes allowing publicly financed candidates to “supplement their basic public stipends by raising small private contributions limited to a maximum of $100 each” and requiring the city to match the contributions 4-to-1. Matching payments would be capped at $120,000 for mayoral candidates.
Children in New Mexico struggling, report says Kids growing up in state face high teen pregnancy rates and lower reading scores, according to data By Robert Nott The New Mexican
New Mexico’s teen suicide rate is nearly twice the national average. The teen birth rate is one of the highest in the nation, and the state is dead last in the percentage of fourth-graders who can read at grade level. These are some of the findings released Tuesday in the Kids Count study produced by New Mexico Voices for Children, an Albuquerquebased nonprofit.
Main office: 983-3303 Late paper: 986-3010 News tips: 986-3035
The results are not unexpected, given that last summer the state ranked 49th in the well-being of children in the national Kids Count Data Book. The new report, unveiled at a news conference in the Capitol Rotunda during Youth and Children Day at the Legislature, covers such issues as child poverty, teen pregnancy, educational achievement and health insurance for children. According to the report, 40 teen girls out of 1,000 give birth in the
state. About 11 percent of New Mexico teens are neither working nor going to school. And just 2 out of 10 fourth-graders score proficient in reading. Moreover, the state ranks 48th in the nation in child poverty, with 30 percent living in families at or below the poverty level. “It is a concern that poverty just continues,” said Veronica Garcia, executive director of New Mexico Voices for Children. “That area continues to be problematic for New Mexico because we are still rebounding from the recession, and we haven’t recovered from that.” She said domestic and substance
abuse, food insecurity, depression and hunger all go hand in hand with economic stress. “All these things impact a child’s security and their ability to do well in school and have a negative impact on cognitive brain development,” she said. Among the report’s recommendations: Raise the minimum wage and invest more in education at both the pre-K and K-12 levels. The overall New Mexico ranking in the national Kids Count Data Book has varied somewhere between 43rd and 50th since 2000, and the state has never ranked higher than 40th since the report was first issued in 1990.

ALBUQUERQUE — After weeks of negotiations, the U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday that federal officials and the city of Albuquerque have agreed on an independent monitor to oversee the city’s troubled police force. James R. Ginger, an expert on police reform, will lead a team to monitor a settlement agreement to overhaul the Albuquerque Police Department, federal officials said. The police department, serving a city of about 560,000 people, has faced scrutiny for more than 40 police shootings — 28 of them fatal — since 2010. The fatal shooting of a homeless man in March sparked protests around the city after video footage appeared to show the man surrendering during a standoff. Ginger and his team will be responsible for independently assessing progress on the agreement and will report on changes to a federal judge. They will have access to documents, personnel, facilities and other information related to the settlement and will engage with officers and
community members, federal officials said. Ginger has served as an independent monitor over a consent decree obtained by the Justice Department in Pittsburgh. He also was a monitor over a consent decree involving the New Jersey State Police. “Dr. Ginger’s proven success with police departments and criminal justice systems in the United States will assist in promoting compliance with critical structural and systemic reforms that are necessary to restoring public confidence and achieving effective and constitutional policing in Albuquerque,” U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez for the District of New Mexico said in a statement. The Justice Department and Albuquerque officials signed the agreement last year after a federal report faulted Albuquerque police over excessive force. The reform blueprint calls for new training and protocols for investigating officer shootings. It also calls for the agency to dismantle some troubled units. “The selection of the monitor is an important step,” said Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry. “I am encouraged that we came to agreement with the [Justice Department] as quickly as we did.”
PNM: ‘Understated fuel cost for coal,’ one group claims Continued from Page A-8 both the Farmington decision and the withdrawal of the renewable energy groups and is “in the process of evaluating how it may respond.” PNM said it still believes the power replacement plan presented to state regulators remains the best option for customers and investors, according to spokeswoman Susan Sponar. The plan proposes adding nuclear power, natural gas and 40 megawatts of solar power in addition to more coal capacity at San Juan. The plan will reduce coal power, reduce pollution and water use, reduce financial risks and provide reliable power to customers, Sponar said. The stipulation reduced the plan’s cost to customers and increased the amount of renewable energy by an additional 50 megawatts, Sponar said. The stipulation also extends a program that benefits customers with rooftop solar for three years after it was to end in 2016. In its motion to withdraw,
the Renewable Energy Industry Association said that “PNM understated the fuel cost for coal.” The group also is angered over PNM’s announcement in a recent rate case that it would seek to charge people with rooftop solar an “access fee” for hooking into the electric grid. PNM’s promise to extend the rooftop solar program while charging rooftop solar owners an extra fee in a separate rate case “smacks of bad faith,” the motion said. In a document filed Tuesday with regulators, Robb Hirsch, executive director of Independent Power Producers, said the group had signed the stipulation largely to protect its right to protest coal issues later. He said the organization also was withdrawing, given new information about the costs of PNM’s plan. Renewable energy advocates and environmental groups believe PNM can replace the coal power at San Juan with a combination of natural gas, wind and solar at an affordable price.
Tabloid puts wraps on topless ‘Page 3 Girl’ By Stephen Castle The New York Times
LONDON — After more than 40 years of running a picture of a topless woman almost daily on its Page 3, The Sun, Britain’s raucous and best-selling newspaper, appears to have given in to changing social attitudes. On Monday, The Sun showed photographs of the model and actress Rosie HuntingtonWhiteley, who — despite the headline “Rosie’s got no clothesies” — was wearing a range of lacy lingerie. On Tuesday, Page 3 showed pictures of actresses in bikinis on a beach. There has been no confirmation from The Sun, or from its owners, News Corp., that the long-standing practice of running a photo of a topless woman has been abandoned. But The Times of London, which is owned by the same media group, reported that its executive chairman, Rupert Murdoch, was “understood to have signed off on the change of policy.” The Times added that The
Sun would “still run topless photographs on its page3.com website.” If there has indeed been a policy change, it would highlight a shift in social mores in Britain and a change in thinking at the newspaper. The Sun has reveled in the criticism the images have provoked, particularly from female politicians and from the opposition Labour Party. During the 1980s and 1990s, The Sun captured an average of more than 3 million readers a day, and it took pride in a buccaneering form of journalism and its connection with ordinary working people. While The Sun’s print circulation of about 2 million remains the highest in Britain, sales, like those of other newspapers, have dropped. And after the telephonehacking scandal that led to the closing of The Sun’s sister tabloid, The News of the World, the publishers had to weigh the reputational damage of photos of topless women against their

influence on the number of people who read the paper. Dylan Sharpe, a spokesman for The Sun, said that a photograph of a topless woman last appeared on Page 3 on Friday, but he would not comment on future plans. On Monday, Sharpe posted a message on Twitter that read, “Page 3 will be in TheSunNewspaper tomorrow in the same place it’s always been — between Page 2 and Page 4.”
But by not announcing or confirming the end of the Page 3 feature, The Sun also kept open the option of reintroducing it if it contributed significantly to a decline in sales. The first “Page 3 Girl,” as the feature became known, appeared in 1970, a year after Murdoch took over the newspaper. Several careers, including those of Samantha Fox and Katie Price, were helped by posing for the Page 3 photos.

5 lawyers vie for Raphaelson spot
Five Santa Fe-based attorneys have applied to fill the First Judicial District judgeship left vacant when voters in the November general election chose not to retain former state District Judge Sheri Raphaelson. Applicants Jennifer L. Attrep, Julia Hosford Barnes, Paul William Grace, Tyr R. Loranger and O. Christopher Romero will be vetted next week by a Judicial Nominating Commission. The panel will select one or more candidates, whose names will be sent to Gov. Susana Martinez for consideration for the appointment. The appointee to the Division 4 judgeship will hear criminal, civil and domestic cases, primarily in Rio Arriba County. Whomever is appointed to the post would have to win an election in 2016 in order to remain on the bench. The Judicial Nominating Commission’s review and questioning of the applicants is scheduled for 9 a.m. Jan. 29 at the First Judicial District Courthouse, 225 Montezuma Ave. in Santa Fe. The session is open to the public.

Police suspect 1 robber in spree A robbery and an attempted robbery Tuesday evening might have been committed by the same person who stole from Santa Fe businesses Sunday and Monday, police said. Lt. Andrea Dobyns said a man tried to rob the Fill ‘Er Up gas station, 2631 Cerrillos Road, at 5:14 p.m. Tuesday but didn’t take anything from the business. Witnesses told police the man, who was wearing a gray beanie, blue jacket and gray shoes, said he had a firearm. However, police said the same suspect got away with an unspecified amount of cash from Dollar General, 5992 Airport Road, at 6:28 p.m. after telling a store employee he had a gun. Dobyns said officers suspect he is the same person who robbed a Subway restaurant on Airport Road on Monday night, Jan. 19, and Los Panchitos Mini Mart on Osage Avenue the previous evening. Police said a third robbery took place at 6:41 p.m. Tuesday at Chopstix Oriental Food To Go, 238 N. Guadalupe St. Employees there told police that the robber, who stole an unspecified amount of cash, wore a baseball hat and a short jacket, and said that he had a gun.

Welch said The Joint Commission, a nonprofit that accredits health care organizations, visited Albuquerque’s Raymond G. Murphy VA Medical Center late last year for an unannounced audit visit and gave it a “passing” grade. Elizabeth Zhani, a spokeswoman for The Joint Commission, said Tuesday the survey is confidential, but she did confirm that the hospital is “in full compliance.” The state’s VA health care system serves about 60,000 enrolled veterans on a budget of about $460 million, Welch said. About a third of the system’s 2,500 employees are veterans, he said. Welch will visit the American Legion post on Hunter Street in Española at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 21.

Mildred "Midge" Martin, 89, died peacefully surrounded by family in her apartment in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on January 14, 2015. Born in Valdosta, Georgia, Midge moved to Rome, Georgia with her family and graduated from Rome’s public girls high school. She attended Florida State Women’s College before going to work for Delta Airlines. She lived in Savanna and St. Simons, Georgia and San Juan, Puerto Rico, before settling in Jacksonville, Alabama in 1956, where she was a homemaker and raised her two children. Midge was a caring, loving soul who remained positive in the face of numerous challenges, and brightened many lives with her warm and compassionate disposition. She was an amazing mother and grandmother. Beyond her family, Midge touched numerous lives, and was a friend to many, making many new friends upon moving to Santa Fe in 2011. With her second husband, the late Ross Martin, Jr., she restored and saved from likely destruction one of Jacksonville’s dwindling number of antebellum homes. Midge was preceded in death by her husband, Ross Martin, Jr., daughter Catherine Downing (Word) of Anniston, Alabama, sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Simpson, of Rome, Georgia, and parents, John Pierce Baskin and Pauline Baskin (Stevens) of Rome.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ew Mexico’s governor speaks yearly about the state of the state — addressing both houses of the state Legislature to set forth priorities and programs, setting the tone for this year’s session. That happened again Tuesday, with re-elected and emboldened Gov. Susana Martinez once again making clear she wants business-friendly bills, education reform done her way and infrastructure spending. It was a poised, confident presentation. But the history made Tuesday came in a less-polished talk given by new Speaker of the House Don Tripp, the first Republican to have that job in decades. Speaking in a conversational tone, as among friends rather than on a political stage, Tripp made a number of promises that — if kept — would set Republican leadership apart. Tripp wants committee hearings to run on time! That truly would not be business as usual. In both speeches, the GOP made clear that election victory meant Republicans would run the show (of course, the Senate remains under Democratic control). With new House bosses making everyone change offices, members of the Legislature physically switching sides and hiring new staff for the House, it was clear that there’s a new boss in town. That’s all well and good, since to the victors go the spoils. However, it is always prudent to remember that this year’s winner is tomorrow’s loser, and governing without hubris is always a wise investment toward the day when the majority is a minority once more. In walking that line, Tripp set a soothing tone, calling for both parties to find common ground and work together for what is best for all of New Mexico. He is trusted by both sides, something that bodes well for compromise and collaborative work ahead. All of that is easier said than done, of course, but important to hear on the first day of the session. From the governor, too, came a call to move forward together (although it’s clear she wants the movement to be at her pace and on her issues). Retention of third-graders and a right-to-work law that reduces union strength are issues that will likely prove contentious. In spending, whether on money to attract new business or for roads and highway improvements, it’s likely that compromise will follow. Both Democrats and Republicans support incentives and infrastructure. The reality, of course, is that New Mexico’s budget forecast is stagnant to falling, and that it will be hard to decide how much to spend until oil prices settle down. Already, some are retreating from a $6.3 billion projected budget down to $6.1 billion. That means scrappy fights over where both old and new money will be spent. All of that potential unpleasant news remains in the future. On Tuesday, as the introductions of spouses and younger brothers and retired senators continued, the Legislature was a happy place. There was no heated debate, just polite applause and many smiles. Beneath the smiles, of course, came a clear message: We’re in charge.

COMMENTARY: CHARLES M. BLOW
Poverty can be expensive, exhausting
T
his month, the Pew Research Center released a study that found that most wealthy Americans believed “poor people today have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return.” This is an infuriatingly obtuse view of what it means to be poor in this country — the soul-rending omnipresence of worry and fear, of weariness and fatigue. This can be the view only of those who have not known — or have long forgotten — what poverty truly means. Easy is a word not easily spoken among the poor. Things are hard — the times are hard, the work is hard, the way is hard. Easy is for uninformed explanations issued by the willfully callous and the haughtily blind. Allow me to explain, as James Baldwin put it, a few illustrations of “how extremely expensive it is to be poor.” First, many poor people work, but they just don’t make enough to move out of poverty — an estimated 11 million Americans fall into this category. So, as the Pew report pointed out, “more than half of the least secure group reports receiving at least one type of means-tested government benefit.” And yet, whatever the poor earn is likely to be more heavily taxed than the earnings of wealthier citizens, according to a new analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. As The New York Times put it last week: “According to the study, in 2015 the poorest fifth of Americans will pay on average 10.9 percent of their income in state and local taxes, the middle fifth will pay 9.4 percent and the top 1 percent will average 5.4 percent.” In addition, many low-income people are “unbanked” (not served by a financial

hank you for your coverage of the Interfaith Community Shelter. However, I take issue with the statement in the recent editorial (“Shelter fixes not complicated,” Our View, Jan. 15) that, “The public library can’t be the only refuge for homeless people; that’s not fair to all library patrons.” This suggests that by virtue of being without housing, one does not have an equal right to use city services such as the library. Certainly there may be times when people who are inebriated, on drugs or acting out due to mental illness have to be asked to leave the library — whether or not they are people without homes. But people who don’t have housing have just as much right as anyone else to use city services. How about: “The public library can’t be the only refuge for people without homes; that’s not fair to them. The city must do a better job of providing 24-hour services for these Santa Fe citizens.” Rev. Hollis Walker

Hold police accountable James Boyd’s death at the hands of Albuquerque police was not particularly big news outside New Mexico at the time. The reports that the police
institution), and thus nearly eaten alive by exorbitant fees. As the St. Louis Federal Reserve pointed out in 2010: “Unbanked consumers spend approximately 2.5 to 3 percent of a government benefits check and between 4 percent and 5 percent of payroll check just to cash them. Additional dollars are spent to purchase money orders to pay routine monthly expenses. When you consider the cost for cashing a bi-weekly payroll check and buying about six money orders each month, a household with a net income of $20,000 may pay as much as $1,200 annually for alternative service fees — substantially more than the expense of a monthly checking account.” Even when low-income people can become affiliated with a bank, those banks are increasing making them pay “steep rates for loans and high fees on basic checking accounts,” as The Times’ DealBook blog put it last year. And poor people can have a hard time getting credit. As The Washington Post put it, the excesses of the subprime boom have led conventional banks to stay away from the riskiest borrowers, leaving them “all but cut off from access to big loans, like mortgages.” One way to move up the ladder and out of poverty is through higher education, but even that is not without disproportionate costs. As the Institute for College Access and Success noted in March: “Graduates who received Pell Grants, most of whom had family incomes under $40,000, were much more likely to borrow and to borrow more. Among graduating seniors who ever received a Pell Grant, 88 percent had student loans in 2012, with an average of $31,200 per borrower. In contrast, 53 percent of those who never received a Pell Grant had debt,
are being charged (“Officers charged in Boyd’s death,” Jan. 13) are prominent and surprising national news. This disparate coverage characterizes the police accountability debate. Many people have died unnecessarily at the hands of police. Sometimes settlements are paid, but nothing changes because our elected representatives are afraid of police unions and their tactics. Police talk about respect a great deal, while showing little respect for those they are sworn and paid to protect. It feels as if we are at war with our own police who are more organized and have stronger representation.
with an average of $26,450 per borrower.” And often, work or school requires transportation, which can be another outrageous expense. According to the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights: “Low- and moderate-income households spend 42 percent of their total annual income on transportation, including those who live in rural areas, as compared to middle-income households, who spend less than 22 percent of their annual income on transportation.” And besides, having a car can make prime targets of the poor. One pernicious practice that the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. — and the protests that followed — resurfaced was the degree to which some local municipalities profit from police departments targeting poor communities, with a raft of stops, fines, summonses and arrests supported by police actions and complicit courts. As NPR reported in August: “In 2013, the municipal court in Ferguson — a city of 21,135 people — issued 32,975 arrest warrants for nonviolent offenses, mostly driving violations.” The story continued: “ArchCity Defenders, a St. Louis-area public defender group, says in its report that more than half the courts in St. Louis County engage in the ‘illegal and harmful practices’ of charging high court fines and fees on nonviolent offenses like traffic violations — and then arresting people when they don’t pay.” The list of hardships could go on for several more columns, but you get the point: Being poor is anything but easy. Charles M. Blow, a New York Times Op-Ed columnist, writes about politics, public opinion and social justice.
New Mexico is at an energy crossroads, and it’s time to make new choices. Fossil fuels are not inevitable. In fact, they are so last century. As a privately incorporated company, PNM is duty-bound to serve its shareholders. With its near monopoly on our power supply, PNM is powerful, indeed. The role of the Public Regulation Commission is to act as a check on this private corporation. Unlike PNM, the PRC is duty-bound to serve us. The PRC should reject PNM’s ill-conceived, expensive, dirty energy plan and adopt New Energy Economy’s plan that includes more safe, clean — and cheaper — renewable energy. Wendy Volkmann

Unjust fees We are writing to voice our wholehearted agreement with Orit Tamir’s column (“Facility fee: A double whammy for patients,” My View, Nov. 23) regarding “facility fees.” We believe “facility fees” are unjust, immoral and a tax on sick people. We do not feel patients should pay these fees for routine visits. Tom and Carole Bowker
From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 21, 1915: Unrecorded conveyances, with or without consideration, shall be utterly void and of no effect, if the bill introduced in the House by Representative Black, of Chaves County, becomes law. There is a myth to be dispelled. In a 1915 diary in circulation in Santa Fe it is clearly stated that New Mexico and Arizona are “territories.” Jan. 21, 1965: Roswell — A fifth Atlas F missile has been removed from the missile complex surrounding Walker Air Force Base and Roswell. The original complex had 12 Atlases. This was reduced to nine as three were lost in accidental explosions and fire. Jan. 21, 1990: The high cost of preserving the past could spell doom for future roadways in New Mexico. The focus now is on a proposed road that could cross the archaeologically rich Chaco Culture National Historical Park in northwestern New Mexico. The road would provide better access to the park and nearby rural communities. Federal and state laws enacted since 1966 require archaeological surveys where previously undisturbed ground is to be moved. Sites termed “significant” must then be excavated or protected before roads can be built.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Teens party at niece’s house Dear Annie: A year ago, I bought a house for my niece Alice, her boyfriend and their two daughters, so they could have a better life and become homeowners. The house is still in my name, and our agreement was that Alice could live there for five years so she could build up her credit and save enough for a down payment on a home of her own. The problem is Alice’s sister, “Tonya,” who is fond of partying. Alice allowed Tonya to hold parties for underage kids, with alcohol, in the house. Tonya is now in college but still comes home on vacations and expects to host parties for her friends, including high school kids. I found out that Tonya gets so drunk at these parties that she has thrown up in the kitchen sink. I am livid and hurt that Alice would allow her children to witness such irresponsible behavior. Alice’s mother, my sister, also permits this. I told Alice’s boyfriend that I would sell the house if Tonya has another party there. I am afraid to talk to Alice, Tonya or my sister. Why can’t my sister see the liabilities for everyone involved? — Disappointed Uncle Dear Uncle: Your sister chooses to ignore this behavior because she doesn’t want to alienate her daughters and prefers to abdicate her parental responsibilities. You have been inordinately kind to your niece, and it seems unappreciated. But do not approach this in anger. Simply inform Alice that you, as the homeowner, will be held liable for any illegal activities taking place there, including serving alcohol to underage kids. Say that, regretfully, should you discover she has allowed Tonya to hold another such party, you will be forced to sell the house, as you are unable to afford the potential legal costs. Then do it. Dear Annie: I have two grown daughters who have not spoken to me since their mother and I divorced 12 years ago when they were teenagers. I assume they were pressured not to have anything to do with me. Over the years, I have sent them cards, letters and gifts, but they have
never acknowledged them. I always hoped that when they were grown and less influenced by their mother, we might be able to reestablish some kind of a relationship. My oldest daughter recently became engaged, and I sent her a gift. I received a letter in return, telling me that I am not invited to the wedding, and asking whether I want my gift back. I never expected to be invited to her wedding, and frankly, was thrilled that she even acknowledged the gift. I don’t want it back. After all these years, I have started to lose hope that things will ever improve. So my question is, should I continue to send cards or gifts to my daughters? I don’t want to be a nuisance. I used to cry when I would think of them, and the sad thing is now I don’t. — Estranged Dad Dear Dad: You don’t have to send gifts, but please continue to send cards. Your daughters need the reassurance that you still care about them. And you never know; they may someday decide to reconcile. Please leave the door open. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Florida Lady,” who suggested giving all types of gift cards. I get a lot of gift cards from people on special occasions, which is nice. I also purchase and give gift cards to others. I had no problem until this year, when I had purchased gift cards to a very popular restaurant. Without notice, the restaurant closed its doors and we were stuck with the gift cards. I’ve decided that cash is a better alternative. It’s the right color, right size, has no expiration date and is accepted everywhere. — Eileen Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

New Mexico’s Hugh Greenwood, right, has struggled with shooting recently, and coach Craig Neal expects Wednesday’s game will be challenging. ‘It’s going to be hard. We’re going to see what they’re made out of. I mean we’ll see how tough some of those guys are … ’ Neal said.
Lobos face UNLV in make-or-break game By Will Webber The New Mexican
What the Pan American Center in Las Cruces is to the University of New Mexico men’s basketball team every December — seven straight wins, right NMSU fans? — the Thomas & Mack Center in Sin City is to the Lobos every March. If only UNM could figure out a way to swipe Doc Brown’s DeLorean and scooch ahead seven weeks for the start of the Mountain West Conference Tournament, scheduled for
March 10-14 in Las Vegas, Nev. The Lobos have won nine straight tournament games in the Thomas & Mack, the home of the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels. Those nine wins have brought an unprecedented three straight MWC Tournament titles. The regular season is a different story. They’ve lost three of their last four in that regard. On Wednesday night, New Mexico (12-6, 4-2) visits UNLV (10-8, 1-4) in what amounts to a make-or-break game for both teams. Tipoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. MST.
“It’s going to be hard,” said UNM head coach Craig Neal after the Lobos were beaten at home Sunday by Boise State. “We’re going to see what they’re made out of. I mean, we’ll see how tough some of those guys are. You can’t be really, really good one game and really, really bad the next game. You can’t be a frontrunner. That’s not what our program is about.” The Lobos were one of five teams shoehorned into the top of

A wave of relief NFL
Demonettes revive school spirit with SFHS’ first victory in District 1AAAAAA
Kubiak is Broncos’ head man
By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican
T
here was a lot riding on the Santa Fe High Demonettes on Tuesday night. It wasn’t just a chance for them to start the District 1AAAAAA girls basketball season on the right foot against Rio Rancho, but it was also an opportunity to repair the school’s damaged competitive spirit. With the boys basketball team losing to Rio Rancho 76-41 on the road Tuesday and no fall teams from Santa Fe High winning a district contest, the Demonettes earned the schools’ first 1AAAAAA win with a 47-41 victory over the Lady Rams in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium in both teams’ district opener. Santa Fe High (13-5) likes to share its athletes, and a lot of the players on the girls basketball team competed in a fall sport, so head coach Elmer Chavez knew a win would send a wave of relief through the rest of the athletic programs. “It was important for us just to get that monkey off our back,” Chavez said. “We want to be the ones that bring us into 6-A. We want to be the ones to win and we want to be the ones to get the job done. I’ve been emphasizing that with my girls the whole time. More than anyone else, we have that camaraderie between all the sports and all the teams.” Kayla Herrera, who led all scorers with 24 points, was on the volleyball team that went 0-8 in district after starting the season 8-0. Although it was in a different sport, this win helps ease the pain of those district losses. “I went up to one of my volleyball players and was like, ‘We did it, finally,’ ” Herrera said. “We beat one of our district opponents, and it just feels good to know that we were one of the first teams at Santa Fe High to top one of our 6-A opponents.” The Demonettes looked like they were going to cruise to the win, but Rio Rancho did its part to try to keep the bad vibe going on the campus. After Santa Fe High ended the first quarter with a 16-11 lead, Camrynn Hawkins scored
Former offensive coordinator, backup QB returns to help Elway By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Gary Kubiak was all set to stay in Baltimore, where he’d had a terrific comeback as the Ravens’ offensive coordinator after getting fired from his head coaching job in Houston the year before. He turned down opportunities to interview for the head coaching vacancies with the Bears and Jets, and planned a vacation with his wife, Rhonda. Then, his cellphone buzzed. It was John Elway. Cancel the sand and the surf. Pack the skis instead. “It was just a game-changer,” Kubiak said Tuesday after being introduced as the 15th head coach of the Denver Broncos, where he spent 13 seasons either backing up Elway at quarterback or drawing up blueprints as his offensive coordinator.

four straight points in the final minute of the first half to give the Lady Rams a 24-21 lead at halftime. Rio Rancho held the Demonettes off in the third quarter until Briana Hernandez, doing her best Hawkins impression, scored four straight points in the final minute to nudge Santa Fe High to a 34-32 lead. The Lady Rams took the lead again and the Demonettes were down by as many as seven points in the fourth quarter, but a strong spurt capped off by a three-point play
by Herrera pulled Santa Fe High within 40-39 with 4:18 left. That’s when Chavez used his team’s experience to his advantage. Herrera is a five-year starter, while seniors Briana Hernandez and Savina Padilla have started for three years, and he reminded them of that late in the game. “They have a lot of experience, and I tried to put that on the board,” Chavez said. “I kept

The one problem the Dons Or like the Huskies winning it have is depth — they go only
seven deep, and if one of their top players gets into foul trouble, they can struggle. That’s how Portales was able to beat West Las Vegas in the Portales Shootout on Jan. 9, when Bustos was in foul trouble. The Rams also threw a box-andone defense that the Dons struggled to solve. But let’s go back to West Las Vegas’ neck of the woods for one more challenger that might be the team no one wants to face come March — the Pojoaque Valley Elks. While head coach Joey Trujillo has had more talented teams, this one might be the most cohesive unit he’s had since the 2007-08 championship team. Pojoaque has a senior-laden lineup with one of the top point guards in the state in Anthony “Speedy” Rodriguez. The Elks also have a stable of sharpshooters in James Garcia, Chris Martinez, Darren Montoya and Derrick
Grasmick, but they combine that with the strong inside play of Chris Cordova, Adan Lopez, Joseph Chacon and Julian Lujan. In fact, it was the Elks’ ability to get the ball inside that helped them beat St. Michael’s for just the second time in Trujillo’s career. But above all that was the poise Pojoaque displayed. When the Horsemen crept to within 19-18 early in the third quarter, the Elks did not panic as they have in past. They were patient, yet aggressive — an important combination to have to beat the likes of St. Michael’s and Hope — and used a 13-5 run to essentially put the game out of reach. That gives the Elks — and the Dons for that matter — hope that a blue trophy is not out of reach, which is a nice thing. There’s only so much Hope and St. Michael’s the rest of the state can take.

TENNIS: AUSTRALIAN OPEN
Top seeds cruise past first-round competition By John Pye The Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia — As a first-time dad with a baby at home, Novak Djokovic could see merits in the tale of Serena Williams’ mid-match espresso that has been brewing in the lead-up to the Australian Open. Hey, he reckons, why not open up the menu? The No. 1 seeds in the men’s and women’s draws both had straight-set wins in their first-round matches on Tuesday. Djokovic shrugged off the effects of a cold to beat No. 116-ranked Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in his first Grand Slam match as a father, and Williams beat No. 106-ranked Alison Van Uytvanck 6-0, 6-4.

Lobos: Neal wants team to use length inside, lean more on big men Continued from Page B-1 the conference standings to start the week. All five were within a game of one another for first place. Were it not for the loss to Boise State, New Mexico would have been tied for the lead with Wyoming heading into Wednesday’s game. And as Neal pointed out, this week’s schedule is no place to start a proverbial limp. Up next on Saturday is a trip to Wyoming. “To do this trip after a Sunday home game, it’s tough,” he said. One of Neal’s talking points this week is the shot selection of point guard Hugh Greenwood. As erratic at shooting as a player can possibly be, the senior has been particularly bad the last two-plus weeks. Dating to a Jan. 3 win over Colorado State, Greenwood is shooting just 26 percent (14 of 54) from the floor. Considering that the current slump includes a 6-for-11 night at Utah State,
“
We’re going to see what they’re made out of. I mean, we’ll see how tough some of those guys are. You can’t be really, really good one game and really, really bad the next game. You can’t be a frontrunner. That’s not what our program is about.” Craig Neal, UNM head coach
it only amplifies his struggles in the other four (8 of 43). Shooting just 30 percent for the season, it’s particularly frustrating considering he has never shot under 40 percent since coming to UNM four years ago. “I haven’t told him anything yet,” Neal said after Sunday’s game. “I just told him that we let one get away. Very disappointed. I’m a little concerned about the urgency in the whole group. Doing the things our program’s about. I’m a little concerned about it. I didn’t tell anybody anything performance-wise. I just kept it really short.”
The flip side to Greenwood’s struggles is the remarkably reliable shooting of center Obij Aget. The sophomore is converting 66 percent of his shots (44 of 67). Neal said it’s time for UNM to use its length inside and start leaning more on its big men moving forward. That starts with Aget. “We just need to get back to getting it inside,” Neal said. So while it may seem that a quick trip to Las Vegas is the ideal place for the Lobos to get well, the fact remains that the team’s own worst enemy is often itself.
New Mexico sophomore Obij Aget, center, has been a remarkably reliable shooter recently for the Lobos. Head coach Craig Neal says it’s time for UNM to use its length inside and start leaning more on its big men, including Aget. MARK HOLM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

emphasizing to them that we have a lot of experience when it comes down to clutch time. They came through at the end, so it was real nice.” Santa Fe High took a 42-40 lead when Padilla hit a layup off the glass with 2:12 remaining. She followed with a 3-pointer with just over a minute left, and it was good enough to get the district monkey off the athletic program’s back. “I think that experience keeps us composed,” Herrera said. “There are times when there’s a lot of pressure on us, and with that experience comes trust and responsibility.” Nothing gets easier for the Demonettes, who play at Rio Rancho Cleveland and Albuquerque Volcano Vista before returning home Jan. 31 for a nondistrict game against Santa Fe Indian School, but this win still heals a big wound for the school. For many reasons, a loss to the Lady Rams would have been unacceptable. “Our goal was to come out 1-0 for district, and we showed our fight there at the end,” Herrera said. “We all knew that this wasn’t one to lose, so we all sort of stepped up.”

St. Michael’s extends win streak to 15 The New Mexican
Streak? What streak? The St. Michael’s Lady Horsemen don’t talk about their winning streak. So, they won’t be talking about their 15th straight win, which happened on Tuesday night with a 44-28 win over Albuquerque Academy in a nondistrict road game. While some St. Michael’s 44 might want to point Abq. Academy 28 to a defense that has been suffocating at times or a balanced scoring attack (seven players scored, with Brianna Vigil scoring nine points to lead the way), St. Michael’s head coach Martin Romero credits a veteran core that doesn’t seem to care about things like a winning streak. “We didn’t talk about it all week,” Romero said. “And we certainly didn’t talk about it [Tuesday]. The streak has been the furthest thing from our minds.” What is fresh on the minds of the Lady Horsemen (15-2) is producing a better overall effort, this despite not allowing the Lady Chargers to score in double figures in any quarter. St. Michael’s outscored Academy 18-9 in the second quarter to take a 25-13 lead, but Academy crept to within 31-22 after three before the Lady Horsemen went on a closing 13-6 run to seal the win. Romero said it will take a better effort Wednesday when St. Michael’s heads back
to Albuquerque to play St. Pius X in its final nondistrict game. “We weren’t totally happy,” Romero said. “I told the girls that is a nice luxury we have, to get a double-digit win and still have a sour taste in our mouths.” Sophie Long led Academy with 16 points. SANTA FE INDIAN SCHOOL 48, ALB. SANDIA PREP 41 The Lady Braves made sure to keep the Lady Sundevils to one shot when they had the ball, and it helped them take a 30-18 lead at the half of a District 5AAA opener in Albuquerque. While Sandia Prep chipped away at the lead, SFIS head coach Lanse Carter felt his team played with poise down the stretch – a product of a tough nondistrict schedule. “We’ve had some battles already,” Carter said. “By no means have we arrived, but we’re getting better and this is a step in the right direction.” Kayla Joe returned from a two-game suspension to score 18 points to lead the Lady Braves (12-6), while Milan Schimmel had 13 points and 11 rebounds, with nine of the caroms on the defensive end. Kalei Yeppa led Sandia Prep (10-6) with 16 points. MONTE DEL SOL 49, ACAD. FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS 27 The Lady Dragons trailed 17-15 at the half, but they turned it on in the second half as they allowed the Phoenix just 10 points the rest of the way in a 2AAA opener at Nina Otero Community School. After
outscoring ATC 14-4 in the third quarter, Monte del Sol (4-14) finished the night on a 20-6 run. Alejandra Castillo scored 22 of her 27 points in the second half for the Lady Dragons, and she hit four 3-pointers overall. Ashley Zapata carried ATC (1-16) to the first-half lead, thanks to 13 of her 15 points. WEST LAS VEGAS 56, GRANTS 51 The Lady Dons (12-7) built a 21-13 lead after the first quarter as Jaylen Gutierrez scored seven of her 15 points and made it stick in a nondistrict game in Gillie Lopez Memorial Gymnasium. Deanna Bustos stepped up in the second half, as she scored 14 of her team-high 19 points after the break while hitting three 3s in that stretch. Grants had Felicia Patricio lead the way with 13 points, while Chali Simpson added 11. PECOS 49, SANTA FE PREP 36 The Blue Griffins led 18-17 at the half, but Pecos head coach Ron Drake couldn’t find much fault in his team’s effort in the 2AAA opener for both teams. “We just couldn’t hit shots,” Drake said. “They weren’t bad shots. We had some good looks, but we were just not making them.” That changed in the second half as Ida Valencia had nine of her 11 points and the Lady Panthers outscored the Blue Griffins 31-18 the rest of the way. KeeAnna Trujillo led Pecos (11-4) with 19 points. Prep (7-8) had Alexis Mundt score 12.
BOYS PREP ROUNDUP
Tigers edge Horsemen in final seconds The New Mexican
John Roybal’s driving hoop and harm with eight seconds left in regulation lifted the Taos Tigers to a 51-49 nondistrict boys basketball victory over St. Michael’s on Tuesday night in Perez-Shelley Memorial Gymnasium. Taos 51 Roybal was one of two Tigers to St. Michael’s 49 finish in double figures. He scored 15 points and Abran Trujillo had a game-high 18. Josh Roybal added nine points. Luke Archuleta led the Horsemen with 14. Cameron Conway chipped in with 13 while Marcus Pincheira-Sandoval had nine. St. Michael’s had its three-game winning streak snapped. Although Taos spotted the Horsemen a 15-9 after one quarter, the Tigers rallied into the lead entering the fourth period. St. Michael’s had one final shot to win it but was off the mark with a layup attempt at the buzzer. The Horsemen (10-8) open the District 5AAA season Friday night at Albuquerque Sandia Preparatory. Taos (10-8) heads to Santa Fe Preparatory on Thursday. RIO RANCHO 76, SANTA FE HIGH 41 The Demons (11-8) had the style they wanted — for one quarter. They led 15-11 over the Rams in both teams’ District 1AAAAAA opener in Rio Rancho, but missed shots and turnovers started to accumulate and eroded at the momentum Santa Fe
B-3
High built. The Rams (15-4) went on a 10-2 run to end the first half and take a 37-26 lead, then outscored the Demons 17-4 in the third quarter for a commanding 54-30 edge. “We played the game we wanted to play in the first quarter,” Demons head coach David Rodriguez said. “Then they imposed their will on us for the next three. We turned the ball over in the open court and they scored. And they shoot the 3 in transition.” Julio Rivera and Hayden Hargrove each had eight points to lead Santa Fe High, while Rio Rancho wing Brady Patterson led all scorers with 17 points and Isaiah Ortiz y Pino added 13. SANTA FE PREP 58, PECOS 33 The Blue Griffins took care of their District 2AAA opener right away, holding the host Panthers to seven points in the first quarter and taking a 31-12 lead at the half in Louis G. Sanchez Memorial Gymnasium. Ian Andersson led Prep with 22 points, while Francis Castillo y Mulert added 20. Christopher Vigil paced the Panthers with nine. MORA 81, ROBERTSON 60 In a battle between a coach and his protégé, Marcos Sanchez got the better of Manny Romero, for whom he coached while Romero was at Mora from 19982009, in a nondistrict game in Michael Marr Gymnasium. It was a 35-34 lead for Rangers (9-5) at the half, then they outscored the Cardinals
23-10 in the third quarter to take a 57-44 edge. Sanchez felt his team’s condition helped wilt Robertson (5-13), but he added that it was an awkward night for he and Romero, who is in his third year with the Cardinals. “It was very awkward,” Sanchez said. “At least, I was a little. I didn’t know how to talk to him and he had his game face on. I know he didn’t want to lose and neither did I.” Casimiro Fresquez led Mora with 23 points, while Travis Romero added 16 and Curtis Vasquez had 10. Sebastian Gonzales led the Cardinals with 27 points. MONTE DEL SOL 63, ACAD. FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS 52 Ryan Vander Ham led four Dragons in double figures with 22 points, helping Monte del Sol rally from a 30-25 halftime deficit to beat the Phoenix at Nina Otero Community School. Vander Ham’s big night sparked a 12-5 run in the third quarter to give the Dragons (7-7) the lead, then the contributions of Omar Ndiaye (12 points), Victor Carillo and Chris Baker (11 each) helped put the game out of reach in the final quarter. ATC head coach Ralph Casaus said his team started off with a triangle-and-2 defense to stop Vander Ham and Ndiaye, but communication fell apart in the second half. “We held [Vander Ham] to eight points in the first half,” Casaus said. “But then we lost focus and he kinda got away from us. He had 10 points in the fourth quarter.” Ross Gyolloy-Pap had a game-high 24 for ATC, which dropped to 8-7.

Top-ranked Wildcats hold off Vandy The Associated Press
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky twin guards Aaron and Andrew Harrison combined for 11 points down the stretch that were key in helping the top-ranked Wildcats hold off pesky Vanderbilt 65-57 on Tuesday night. The Wildcats (18-0, 5-0 1 Kentucky 65 Southeastern Conference) didn’t lead by double digits Vanderbilt 57 until early in the second half, and that 45-33 advantage lasted briefly as the Commodores (11-7, 1-4) began answering from the perimeter to stay within several possessions of Kentucky. Five combined 3-pointers by Riley LaChance (16 points) and Matthew FisherDavis (13) helped Vanderbilt pull within 58-54 with 2:36 left. Aaron Harrison responded with a big shot from long range 27 seconds later, and Andrew Harrison followed with a jumper with 1:07 left to provide some space. Aaron Harrison added two more free throws to finish with 14 points while Andrew Harrison had five points for Kentucky, which shot 44 percent.
Dakari Johnson added 10 points for the Wildcats.
won their second straight since losing starting point guard Traevon Jackson to a foot injury.
DAVIDSON 77, NO. 22 DAYTON 60 In Davidson, N.C., freshman Peyton Aldridge had 22 points and senior Tyler Kalinoski added 21, and the sharp-shooting Wildcats knocked off Dayton for their first win over a ranked opponent this season. Davidson was 12 of 23 from 3-point range, helping to erase a 26-point loss to Richmond three days earlier. Aldridge and Kalinoski were both 9 of 14 from the field and combined to shoot 7 of 9 from beyond the arc. Oskar Michelsen had 11 points for the Wildcats (13-4, 4-2 Atlantic-10), who won despite playing without their second-leading scorer Jack Gibbs. The school announced before the game that Gibbs, who came in averaging 15.8 points per game, injured his knee and will be re-evaluated on Wednesday.
NO. 9 IOWA STATE 77, KANSAS STATE 71 In Ames, Iowa, Monte Morris hit a floater with 37 seconds left and Iowa State held off Kansas State, moving into a tie for first place in the Big 12. Jameel McKay had 15 points off the bench for the Cyclones (14-3, 4-1), who joined No. 11 Kansas atop the league. Iowa State beat Kansas in Ames 86-81 on Saturday.
NO. 6 WISCONSIN 82, NO. 25 IOWA 50 In Madison, Wis., Frank Kaminsky had 13 points and 11 rebounds, and the Badgers relied on tough defense to rout Iowa. Sam Dekker added 17 points and eight boards for the Badgers (17-2, 5-1 Big Ten), who

Winston Shepard and J.J.

San Diego State opened the game on a 15-6 run, led 41-18 at halftime and went on to win for the eighth time in nine games, tying them atop the conference standings.

Seahawks’ Kearse was there when it counted
Thunder top Heat, get over .500 mark The Associated Press
By Tim Booth The Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — Jermaine Kearse was having an NFC championship game to forget. The first two times Kearse even got his fingers on a pass from Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, the ball ended up in the hands of a Green Bay defensive back. Those two deflected interceptions were sandwiched around two other attempted passes from Wilson to Kearse that were also picked off. Four targets. Four interceptions. Four miserable moments for Kearse and the Seahawks. “I just told myself not to feel sorry for myself, to keep pushing through,” Kearse said. “Things aren’t always going to be perfect, things aren’t always going to go your way, but it tells a lot about a person’s character on how they respond when things aren’t going well. Things are easy when things are going well, but how do you respond when they’re not?” Kearse’s response was a moment that will be remembered in Seahawks history in the same regard as Richard Sherman’s deflection in the NFC championship game against San Francisco a year earlier. In the same end zone as Sherman’s play, Kearse caught Wilson’s 35-yard TD toss 3:19 into overtime to send Seattle to its second straight Super Bowl. Wilson noticed Green Bay with all of

its defenders near the line of scrimmage and no safety covering the middle of the field. He made a check with Kearse, who also noticed the coverage. Kearse’s job was simply to beat cornerback Tramon Williams to the inside, keep position to the post and wait for Wilson’s pass. “I’ve seen him make so many plays before. When you see a guy that makes so many plays in practice, so many plays throughout big-time games, NFC championship game last year … Doug Baldwin, too, you just continue to trust those guys,” Wilson said. “They show me every day in practice and so when somebody messes up or I mess up or don’t throw the ball right, whatever happens, I’m just going to keep coming back to them. “That was the first thing I told Kearse after that last interception. I said, ‘Hey, we’re going to win this game. I’m going to keep coming back to you and we’re going to find a way to win the game.’
That’s what we were able to do.” Two of the four interceptions that were intended for Kearse were Wilson’s fault. He underthrew Kearse on a deep pass into double coverage early in the second quarter and later was short with a throw to the front corner of the end zone. Seattle coach Pete Carroll said he believed Wilson misjudged the wind on both of the underthrown passes. But the other two interceptions hit Kearse in the hands. The most costly — it appeared — was the pass that was deflected to Green Bay safety Morgan Burnett with 5:04 left and Green Bay holding a 19-7 lead. Kearse couldn’t even get to all the negative reactions on Twitter from the first four quarters. There was too much praise for his one catch of the day. “I couldn’t even get to the bad stuff,” Kearse said. “I don’t worry about all that stuff — it just comes down to us as a team.”
Kubiak: Stepping into pressure cooker Continued from Page B-1 “This place is special for me” Kubiak said. And Kubiak held a hallmark spot in Elway’s plans after the Broncos general manager parted with John Fox a day after Denver’s dismal showing in a 24-13 playoff loss to Indianapolis. “He was at the top of the list, no question,” Elway said, stressing, “in my mind there is not a better guy to take over the Denver Broncos.” Kubiak isn’t fixing a 4-12 jalopy with high draft picks and low expectations but rather a 12-4 team that featured an NFL-high 11 Pro Bowlers. Yet, this team showed a striking lack of fire in that playoff loss to the Colts two weeks ago when the mantra all year was about atoning for that 35-point loss to Seattle in last year’s Super Bowl. Kubiak steps into a pressure cooker where Elway reiterated it’s always “Super Bowl or bust,” and where Fox’s 49-22 record wasn’t nearly good enough. Kubiak, who said his health scare in 2013 taught him to rely more on those around him, didn’t flinch. “That’s what I want to be a part of,” Kubiak said, noting he thrived in that environment of high expectations as a player from 1983-91 and then serving on Mike Sha-

nahan’s staff from 1995-2005, coaching the Texans from 2006-13 and assisting the Ravens last year. “If you’re working in this business, that’s the opportunity you want, to win a championship. You want to be around people where that’s the way they go about business,” Kubiak said. “So, I see that as a plus and that’s something that I welcome and I look forward to.” So, Kubiak, 53, is once again Elway’s No. 2. “Believe me, he is the boss,” Kubiak said. “That’s all right. I want to coach.” When it comes to football philosophies, Elway and Kubiak are kindred spirits, though. “John’s the most competitive human being I’ve ever
been around, whether you’re playing cards or pingpong, it doesn’t matter,” Kubiak said. “I think I’m very competitive, too. That’s probably why we’re still standing in this league because if you’re not, you’re not going to hang out for very long.” “I know what Gary Kubiak is about,” Elway said. “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing him for 30 years, had a chance to play with him and play for him. I know his philosophies and I know what he can do. I know his goals are the same as mine and that’s to win — and to win world championships.” That’s something the Broncos haven’t done since Elway was QB and Kubiak was his offensive coordinator in 1998, when Denver won its second
straight Super Bowl title. The big question now is will Kubiak be calling plays in 2015 for Peyton Manning or Brock Osweiler? Manning is mulling retirement after a difficult stretch run marred by a thigh injury and a dismal playoff performance. Kubiak’s offensive philosophies are rooted in Bill Walsh’s West Coast system featuring the zone-blocking schemes that the Broncos fine-tuned in the 1990s and 2000s. But he said he’s also one to adapt to his players’ strengths. Kubiak, who was unsuccessful in his attempt to talk Elway into putting off retirement in 1999, said he’s spoken with Manning and plans to meet with him when things slow down. He said he would welcome back the five-time MVP, who turns 39 in March, and would mesh his offensive ideas with Manning’s style. “The offense Peyton runs, he’s tremendous at it, back there in the gun controlling the game, controlling the line of scrimmage. Nobody has ever done it better and he’s the master at it,” Kubiak said. “Actually, I’m looking forward to learning that style and that system that he has. “We’re going to do what our team does best and what our players do best, and if Peyton Manning’s playing, that’s what he does best.”
MIAMI — Just about every statistic was what the Miami Heat would have wanted. They kept Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook off the foul line for the most part, watched Oklahoma Thunder 94 City’s two Heat 86 stars combine to miss every 3-pointer they tried, limited both to under 20 points and held the Thunder far below their typical scoring output of late. And even that wasn’t enough. Durant and Westbrook both scored 19 points and the Thunder beat the Heat 94-86 on Tuesday night — the win putting Oklahoma City over the .500 mark for the first time this season. The stats that doomed the Heat: A 21-11 difference in turnovers, a 22-9 disparity in points off turnovers, and the Thunder getting up 92 shots to Miami’s 68. Westbrook grabbed 10 rebounds, Durant added eight rebounds and eight assists, Reggie Jackson scored 16 points and
Anthony Morrow added 12 for Oklahoma City — who were nine games under .500 in late November, when Durant was still sidelined with a broken foot. The Thunder are 13-5 with Durant in the lineup, and now winners of 18 of their last 26 — but Durant said getting over the .500 mark meant “nothing.” “We have to keep pushing,” Durant said. “We’re not worried about it. We didn’t come in here and rejoice because we’re over .500.” SPURS 109, NUGGETS 99 In Denver, Kawhi Leonard had 17 points and 15 rebounds in another strong outing since returning from a hand injury, and the San Antonio Spurs won their fourth in a row. Tony Parker scored 18 points and Tim Duncan added 16, all in the second half, to help the Spurs beat the Nuggets for the fifth straight time. Leonard has been a big part of San Antonio’s recent surge, playing for the third time since returning from a bruised hand that had sidelined him for the previous 15 games.
Australian: Top seeds win in straight sets Continued from Page B-1 Williams, with five Australian titles in her collection of 18 majors, didn’t need anything to perk her up as she raced through the first set in 21 minutes. It was a vastly different story when she arrived in Australia, jet-lagged, this month to start her preparations for the season’s first major, and asked for a coffee during a Hopman Cup match in Perth. She checked with the chair umpire and tournament referee first, because she didn’t know if she could order a brew. The coffee was served, and Williams rallied for a win. “Judging by what she did, it opens up a new chapter of rules I guess on the tennis court,” Djokovic said. “Maybe we need to explore more. Some people can’t live without coffee in the morning, it keeps them going. I guess that helped her in that match.” Djokovic has left his wife and baby son — Stefan, who was born in October — at home as he bids for a fifth title at Melbourne Park. He was sick on the weekend, and missed some practices. “It hasn’t been an ideal couple of weeks in terms of health and preparation,” he said. “But I fought my way through. Now it’s behind me.” Djokovic won the first of his Australian Open titles in 2008, then three in a row from 2011. But his 25-match winning streak at Melbourne Park ended in a quarterfinal loss last year to eventual champion Stan Wawrinka. That led to a breakout year for Wawrinka that included his first major, a rise to No. 3 in the rankings, and a Davis Cup title with Switzerland.
Seeded fourth, he began the defense of a major for the first time with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over No. 100-ranked Marsel Ilhan. “It’s great, bringing me a lot of memories from last year,” Wawrinka said of his return. “It was great to come back here feeling happy, happy with my game.” U.S. Open finalist Kei Nishikori and Wimbledon semifinalist Milos Raonic are part of the next generation of serious major contenders, and both opened their campaigns well. No. 5 Kei Nishikori beat Nicolas Almagro 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-2, and No. 8 Raonic fired 30 aces in a 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3), 6-3 win over Illya Marchenko. No. 9 David Ferrer, a quarterfinalist or better at the last four Australian Opens, also advanced. The 33-year-old Lleyton Hewitt started his 19th consecutive Australian Open with a four-set win in a night match, while Vasek Pospisil beat Sam Querrey 6-3, 6-7 (5), 2-6, 6-4, 6-4, and No. 17 Gael Monfils rallied from two sets down, and from a break down in the fifth, to beat fellow Frenchman Lucas Pouille 6-7 (3), 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4. Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova and No. 6 Agnieszka Radwanska advanced, along with 2014 Australian finalist Dominika Cibulkova, two-time champion Victoria Azarenka, and No. 18 Venus Williams. No. 12 Flavia Pennetta, No. 13 Andrea Petkovic and No. 15 Jelena Jankovic were all eliminated. Azarenka, coming back from a foot injury, beat Sloane Stephens 6-3, 6-2 — her third win in three years over the American at the Australian Open — and will next have to play U.S. Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki.

This is the chicken breast recipe you’ve been searching for. Because it will taste nothing like those flavorless, dry breasts you’ve grown to tolerate. The gist is simple — chicken breasts are sliced thin, then pounded even thinner. Sure, this is a process that by way of violence renders the meat pretty tender. But the real magic is in the cooking. Chicken this thin — about ¼ inch — cooks so fast it barely needs heat. And that means the breasts stay moist. But we’re not done yet. These chicken cutlets also get a sweet-spicy-crunchy coating thanks to a quick dredge through breadcrumbs seasoned with paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper and — ready for the secret ingredient? — sugar. While you could quickly pan-fry these breaded cutlets, I like to ease of the oven. Very fast and no mess. What happens next is up to you. I like to eat them just as is, but you also could slap the cutlets between slices of sourdough bread with a bit of mayo. They also are terrific sliced and tossed with a Caesar salad, or mounded over a pile of barley. SWEET-AND-SPICY PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN Total time: 30 minutes; makes 4 servings 1 cup panko breadcrumbs ¼ cup sugar 1 teaspoon garlic powder 2 teaspoons smoked paprika 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon chili powder ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 2 eggs ¼ cup all-purpose flour 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts Preparation: Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat it with cooking spray. In a pie pan or a large, shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, chili powder and black pepper. Set aside. Crack the eggs into a similar bowl, then lightly beat them with the flour. Carefully slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 2 thin cutlets. To do this, place each breast on a cutting board. Hold the breast in place with the palm of one hand while using a knife to carefully slice across the length of the breast horizontally. One at a time, place each cutlet between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound each cutlet until uniformly about ¼ inch thick. One at a time, dredge each cutlet through the egg-flour mixture until lightly coated. Shake off any excess, then dredge the cutlet through the seasoned breadcrumbs. Set the cutlet on the prepared baking sheet, then repeat the process with the remaining chicken. Mist the tops of the cutlets with cooking spray. Bake for 7 minutes, then flip the cutlets and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.

t’s football party season. The big game looms, and maybe you’re throwing a Super Bowl bash and are wondering what to serve to pander to your guests’ (likely) dashed playoff dreams. Their football hopes may have died with that overtime touchdown in Seattle or during the third quarter of the Patriots-Colts blowout, but they still gotta eat. They will hoover up your seven-layer dip, demolish any bowls of kettle corn you leave lying around and inhale bacon-stuffed potato skins. You must of course serve wings, as a nod to any stray Seahawks fans you may have in your midst, although if they’re from this town, they’re probably bandwagon fans who jumped off that Denver Broncos train the minute the big horses rolled over to the baby horses. These wings must of course be spicy, and you must have a bowl of ranch dressing to dip them in, because at Super Bowl parties, the only thing that’s acceptable to put salad dressing on is fried meat. If you want a salad, go to a World Cup party. And if you’re throwing a Super Bowl party here, you have to please the probably numerous Cowboys fans who will show up, their hunger made all the sharper by the tang of seasonal disappointment. They’ll slump into your living room in their tearstained Dez Bryant jerseys and ignore the “meaningless” game on television to focus their attention on the refreshments, which had better be up to snuff. For those Dallas fans, you must make chili. Not chile, you understand, which involves creating a deeply spicy stew base from either roasted green chiles or dried red chiles and adding meat broth to create a sauce, and which you will probably not find outside the state of New Mexico, which is enough of a reason to live here. No, I mean chili, that thick Tex-Mex stew usually consisting of beans, ground beef, onions and tomato, which is what many out-of-towners think they are ordering when they first encounter a Santa Fe menu. It is the manliest of soups, far bulkier
translucent. Add spices and green chile, sauté for 2 minutes. Grill chicken, chop and add to pot with beans, chicken broth. Simmer 15 minutes. Add cilantro and 2 cups of shredded cheese, simmer 5 more minutes. Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped cilantro. Simmer is a very gentle boil; do not cook on too high heat for too long. If needed, you may double this recipe. Cool finished soup in ice bath.
David Readyhough, owner of Loyal Hound, says the gastropub’s white chili recipe is a tweak of an old family recipe.
and meatier than most other soups, topped with cheese and sometimes sour cream, and can be viscous enough to hold up a spoon. Chili (aka “chili con carne”) is, after all, Texas’ official state dish, but though it was originally popularized at “chili parlors” in San Antonio, chili is a ubiquitous food now, a staple of American cuisine, with people doing all kinds of things to it that range from delicious to disturbing. The chili dog, for example, is essentially a meat topped with another meat, sloppy to eat but admittedly delicious. In New Mexico, we eat our chili on Fritos, out of a bag, and we don’t always acknowledge the fact that the spicy meat-and-bean mix is that most ubiquitous of Tex-Mex foods. You can find chili burgers and chili-cheese fries everywhere, too, and there are even some regional delicacies like “Cincinnati chili,” possibly chili’s worst incarnation, which involves serving a thin, sometimes chocolateflavored chili over spaghetti, with oyster crackers. Perhaps if the Bengals had something a little less vile in their tummies, they might not choke every postseason. Just a thought. But there is more to chili than the Texas-style bowl of red you may be familiar with. The question for chile may be “red or green?” but for chili, it’s “red or white?” White chili is exactly what it sounds like — instead of the usual tomato and beef concoction, it includes white beans and meat broth, and is a less tangy, creamier version of the recipe. To try white chili without pulling out the stock pot, trot over to Loyal Hound, the gastropub on St. Michael’s Drive that specializes in high-end comfort food, like their inside-out chicken pot pie or the decadent barbecue pork and waffles. Loyal Hound serves white chili as its house soup. David Readyhough, the owner of Loyal Hound, is, to put it mildly, a chili enthusiast. He was the general manager of Rio Chama Steakhouse
for 12 years, where they serve a killer Texas-style chili, replete with tomatoes and chunks of beef, and Readyhough used to eat it for breakfast seven days a week. Now he eats his own white chili instead, and he and his wife even make Frito pies out of it at home. “We call it white chile because we use chicken, white beans, Oaxaca cheese, sour cream and green chile,” Readyhough says. The chili is brothbased, made of their house-made chicken stock, and instead of a flour roux, they use the Oaxaca cheese to thicken it, so it’s even gluten-free. The recipe is a tweak of an old family recipe. “Twenty years ago, my mom’s husband had a white chili he made in Key West [Fla.],” Readyhough says. “He used canned green chile, and he used ground turkey.” Readyhough upgraded and updated the recipe to include fresh New Mexico green chile and, instead of ground turkey, house-roasted organic chicken and duck. “We kind of morphed it into more of a New Mexican style,” he says. And there’s a secret ingredient: ground clove, which lends the chili a visceral sweetness and aromatic scent that rounds out this savory bowl of thick deliciousness. Chili, red or white, belongs at your football party because it has joined baby back ribs and sausages in the panoply of “man foods.” Chili cookoff events proliferate throughout the country, where prowess is measured on the Scoville heat scale; there are so many such cook-offs they require an “International Chili Society” to regulate them (www.chilicookoff.com). Chili conjures up images of cowboys cooking it up in a heavy, castiron pot over an open flame while squatting on the range surrounded by miles of cattle, or Boy Scouts eating it around a bonfire in the woods, or GIs heating up cans of it on car engines in the desert. It is, in many ways, a bowl of America. A really good bowl. A super bowl, even.

Redefining air travel in economy class By Christopher Elliott Special to The Washington Post
T
he lowly economy-class section is getting an upgrade in 2015. Or a downgrade, depending on your point of view. At least two airlines are unveiling new coach class sections this spring. Alaska Airlines, with its Alaska Beyond service, will add custom leather seats, roomier overhead bins and new inflight entertainment options. And Delta Air Lines, which is also in the throes of an ambitious cabin overhaul, will introduce a new basic economy-class fare, creating what some are calling a “fifth class” of service. Economy class — the cabin most airline passengers fly in — rarely gets this much attention. Airlines prefer to focus on their high-revenue business travelers, lavishing them with repeated remodelings of their first-class cabins. So when the cheap seats get a makeover, it’s easy to assume that’s good news for the average air traveler. But not all upgrades are the same. In fact, Alaska’s and Delta’s are worth closer looks, because they offer dramatically different visions of air travel in 2015. Delta’s changes are the most sweeping. The airline is quietly redefining “economy class.” On the visual side, its economy section will come with distinctive new seats, wireless Internet access and, in some cases, larger overhead bins — all part of a billiondollar update of its cabin interiors. But its economy-class fares are undergoing an overhaul, too. Delta’s new basic economy-class tickets are highly restrictive, a departure from its standard economy tickets, which it will continue to offer on its flights. No changes, refunds or upgrades will be allowed on these new fares, nor can you make advance seat reservations. Delta introduced these fares as an experiment in certain markets in 2012 and decided to expand them late last year Delta’s basic tickets are the same E-class fares that a decade ago came with a seat assignment, two checked bags and the ability to change a reservation. The airline didn’t discount the tickets in exchange for the new restrictions. Instead, it asked customers whether they would be willing to accept that same E fare with new limits, and enough passengers said yes. The discount on a basic fare can be significant. An advance-purchase, round-trip flight from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to Detroit in January cost $206 in basic and $246 in regular economy class. “The basic economy fare is competitive with other carriers,” says Delta spokesman Paul Skrbec. “But it’s on the back of a very solid core economy product.” By “other carriers,” he means budget airlines such as Allegiant and Spirit, known for their tight legroom and abundance of fees. Observers fear that over time, Delta could segment its basic customers in their own cabin with even less legroom and personal space. Skrbec says Delta has no such plans. Harlan Platt, a finance professor at Northeastern University, says that, from a customer-experience point of view, the Delta remodeling is largely “cosmetic.” “They fail to touch on the big three concerns of most passengers: legroom, access to bins, and fair prices and fees,” he says. “Like most oligopo-
listic industries, this is what we can expect in the future.” Maybe, maybe not. Across the country, in Seattle, Alaska Airlines is also working on its new economy-class section. From a distance, the improvements look similar to Delta’s — a better seat (in this case, an adjustable leather seat made by Recaro, an award-winning aircraft seat designer) plus power outlets in every seat back. Alaska has also overhauled its menu, offering entrees created by some of the Northwest’s best-known chefs. Alaska addresses at least one of the passenger concerns cited by Platt more overtly. Later this year, some of its new aircraft will have Boeing’s “innovative” space bins, which offer 45 percent more room. The seats will be about the same size as the previous economy seats, offering between 31 and 32 inches of seat pitch — a rough industry measure of legroom. That’s about 3 inches less than the basic economy-class seat had before airline deregulation in 1978. Perhaps the most significant part of Alaska Airlines’ overhaul is what it didn’t do. It did not announce plans to change the way it segments customers. It doesn’t charge economy-class passengers for advance seat reservations, and if you cancel a ticket 60 days before your flight, it charges no fees. (After that, it’s $125, compared to the $200 charged by most large airlines.) “We’re harnessing all the things our customers say make us Alaska, and making the amenities available to all customers — not just a certain section or segment of customer,” says Halley Knigge, an airline spokeswoman. In other words, these economyclass changes might look similar, but they are not the same. One reinforces the traditional concept of coach class — that no matter where you sit on a plane, you can expect a minimum level of service and amenities. The other reduces the air travel experience to a use-it-or-lose-it ticket, critics say. Which vision will win? That’s not a hard question to answer. Air travelers tend to reflexively book the lowest fare without considering the consequences. Delta said it did not conduct any focus groups and that its customers didn’t directly ask for a more restrictive economy-class ticket. Rather, it offered the tickets and people bought them, which the airline says proves consumers want them. That kind of market research is unlikely to improve the flying experience, says Jono Anderson, aviation expert at the global consulting firm Strategy&. Airlines are making too many guesses and assumptions rather than using advanced analytics and actual customer feedback to make decisions about their products. “They need to know their customers better,” he says. Until then, you should get to know your economy-class section better. Sites like Hipmunk.com, which gauge a flight’s “agony,” or RouteHappy.com, which displays flights based on comfort, can separate the most miserable economy-class experiences from the rest. Delta’s new basic restrictions are also clearly disclosed when you book through the airline’s website. But now more than ever, you need to pay attention — especially if you’re flying in economy class. Christopher Elliott, National Geographic Traveler’s reader advocate, maintains a consumer advocate website at elliott.org.

Hikers in July make their way along the Pacific Crest Trail near Bend, Ore., with Mount Washington in the background. MARK MORICAL/THE BULLETIN
‘Wild’ about the Pacific Crest Trail By Beth J. Harpaz The Associated Press
M
ore hikers are expected on the Pacific Crest Trail this year thanks to the movie Wild, according to the Pacific Crest Trail Association, which preserves and promotes the trail. The book Wild, which has been a best-seller for nearly two years, led to a small increase in inquiries about the trail, “but the movie seems to have had a much bigger effect,” said Jack Haskel, trail information specialist for the Pacific Crest Trail Association. “This past December, compared to last year, our website traffic went up 300 percent.” Requests have also increased for permits for long-distance hikes on the trail. The trail starts near Campo, Calif., outside San Diego at the Mexican border, and stretches 2,650 miles through California, Oregon and Washington. It ends in Washington’s remote Pasayten Wilderness at the Canadian border. Since the 1950s, only 3,346 people have reported hiking the entire length of the trail, but that number has been rising each year — even before the book and movie brought more attention to the trail. When Haskel through-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2006, 300 people set off to walk the entire route, and about 120 completed it. In 2014, more than 1,000 hikers attempted a through-hike, and about half made it. Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild, hiked 1,100 miles of the trail as she recovered from drug abuse, divorce and her mother’s death. Reese Witherspoon received an Oscar nomination for best actress for her portrayal of Strayed. Laura Dern was nominated for best supporting actress as Strayed’s loving, free-spirit mother. “Wild is the largest media event ever for the PCT, and millions are hearing about it now and are being inspired,” Haskel said. Both the book and film offer a realistic look at the challenges and rewards of the trek. Strayed ran out of drinking water, slogged through snow and rain, and bloodied her feet in hiking boots a size too small. She had a few frightening encoun-
ters with people she met along the way, but also experienced kinship and kindness. Ultimately, the trail’s serenity and natural beauty helped heal her damaged soul. There are no comprehensive statistics on female hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail, but anecdotal observations suggest more women are hitting the trail, too, from fewer than 10 percent of hikers in past years to 30 percent now, Haskel said. “There are definitely more women out hiking,” Haskel said. “I hear from women who are inspired by Wild. And who knows what this season will bring.” Hikers hoping to do the whole trail typically start in April or May and end in September, walking more than 20 miles a day for five months, with a day off now and then to recuperate and resupply. Timing is critical: Start too early in the spring and you face flooded creeks and snow in the Sierra Nevada mountains. End too late in the season and you’ll hit snow in the Northern Cascade mountains. In addition to endurance and careful planning, long-distance hikers also need to think about money. A through-hike can easily cost $6,000, including the flight to San Diego, food for five months and gear like maps, backpack, sleeping bag and tent. “People who head out with $3,000 often find they’re running out of money,” Haskel said. Throughhikers also typically wear out four or five pairs of trail-running shoes, which are the preferred footgear these days, rather than the boots that caused Strayed agony when she hiked the trail in 1995. But you don’t have to hike long distances to enjoy the Pacific Crest Trail. You can go for a few hours, a day or an overnight. The PCTA website recommends many popular, accessible options, including Mount Baden Powell near Los Angeles; Mount Rainier and Goat Rocks near Seattle; and the Cascade Locks and Bridge of the Gods near Portland, Ore., where a scene in the movie was shot. The PCTA has also launched a campaign, with Strayed’s support, using the hashtag #responsiblywild to promote safety and “leave no trace” practices. Those include pro-

tecting water quality, burying human waste, packing out trash and building safe campfires. “There are a whole lot of people that are going to be inspired to hit the PCT because of Wild and we really care about making sure that people are traveling safely,” Haskel said. And stay tuned for Hollywood’s next hiking movie: A Walk in the Woods comes out later this year starring Robert Redford and Nick Nolte. If Wild touched your heart, this one may tickle your funny bone: It’s based on Bill Bryson’s entertaining book about two middle-aged, outof-shape buddies attempting to walk the 2,189-mile Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.
