House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced Monday that U.S. Rep. Ben Ray Luján of Santa Fe will chair the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the political wing of the House Democrats. The committee is responsible for recruiting candidates, Ben Ray raising funds, Luján handling public relations and helping with getout-the-vote efforts. Pelosi told The Washington Post that Luján, 42, “is really a focused operational person. … I’m choosing him because of his political astuteness, and he can manage all

System keeps claimants hurt by vaccines waiting By Mitch Weiss, Justin Pritchard and Troy Thibodeaux The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — All but broken by her son’s violent and unexplained seizures, by so many panicked trips from the crib to the emergency room, Jeffrey McCord’s mom thought her desperate search for both answers and help was finally over. A respected neurologist had drawn a connection that a dozen other doctors missed: Jeffrey’s convulsions began days after a routine vaccination, the kind given safely to millions of American children. While Jeffrey’s injuries were devastating, his parents were told they might not have to bear the costs alone. The doctor explained that Jeffrey could apply for lifelong care

paid for by the federal government. The program’s premise is simple: quickly and generously support people in the rare cases when a shot to prevent a sickness such as flu or measles instead is the likely cause of serious health complications. But 11 years would pass before the McCord family would receive its first check. And they are not alone in their frustration. A system intended to speed help to vaccine-injured Americans has instead heaped additional suffering on thousands of families, The Associated Press has found. To investigate vaccine court in depth, the AP read hundreds of decisions, conducted more than 100 interviews, and analyzed a database of more than 14,500 cases. That database was current as of January 2013; the government has refused to release an updated version since.

Authorities said Monday that drunkendriving suspect Jimmy Griego was involved in a hit-and-run accident in Santa Fe on Friday before he caused another accident near Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino in which a 40-year-old Española woman died. Online records show that Griego, 59, of Santa Fe has been charged with homicide by vehicle, reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, lack of insurance and leaving the scene of an accident. He is being held in the Santa Fe County jail in lieu of a $50,000 bond. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said that before he caused the accident on U.S. 84/285 that killed Celeste Maestas, Griego hit another vehicle on St. Francis Drive near the Santa Fe National Cemetery before getting on the highway. No injuries were reported in that incident. Authorities said Griego and Maestas were both driving north near Pojoaque a little after 10:30 a.m. Friday when she veered out of her lane to avoid Griego. Her Chevy Impala went onto the shoulder of the highway, officials said, before she overcorrected and crossed into the southbound lane, collided with another vehicle and then slammed head-on into a concrete Jersey barrier. Maestas was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the southbound vehicle wasn’t injured, officials said. A relative who didn’t want to be identified said Monday that Maestas is survived by a 13-year-old daughter, a 10-year-old son and her husband of 21 years. The relative said Maestas was the manager of the Las Lomas apartment complex in Española. “She was a devoted wife and mother,” the relative said. “She just extended her love to anyone who needed it.” The sheriff’s office has said that emergency dispatchers received a call at about 10:30 a.m. Friday from a witness who

Obama, insurers now allies under health law Partnership proves to be mutually beneficial By Robert Pear The New York Times
WASHINGTON — As Americans shop in the health insurance marketplace for a second year, President Barack Obama is depending more than ever on the insurance companies that five years ago he accused of padding profits and canceling coverage for the sick. Those same insurers have long viewed government as an unreliable business partner that imposed taxes, fees and countless regulations and had the power to cut payment rates and cap profit margins. But since the Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010, the relationship between the Obama administration and insurers has evolved into a powerful, mutually beneficial

partnership that has been a boon to the nation’s largest private health plans and led to a profitable surge in their Medicaid enrollment. The insurers in turn have provided crucial support to Obama in court battles over the health care law, including a case now before the Supreme Court challenging the federal subsidies paid to insurance companies on behalf of low- and moderate-income consumers. Last fall, a unit of one of the nation’s largest insurers, UnitedHealth Group, helped the administration repair the HealthCare.gov website after it crashed in the opening days of enrollment. “Insurers and the government have developed a symbiotic relationship, nurtured by tens of billions of dollars that flow from the federal Treasury to insurers each year,” said Michael F.

Drugs could be help for millions with strokes and heart attacks
NEW YORK — U.S. airlines are saving tens of millions of dollars every week because of lower prices for jet fuel, their largest expense. So why don’t they share some of the savings with passengers? Simply put: Airlines have no compelling reason to offer any breaks. Planes are full. Investors want a payout. And new planes are on order. In fact, fares are going higher. And those bag fees that airlines instituted in 2008 when fuel prices spiked aren’t going away either. In the 12 months ended in September, U.S. airlines saved $1.6 billion on jet fuel. That helped them post a 5.7 percent profit margin in the first three quarters of this year, robust for the industry but lagging behind the 10 percent average for the Standard & Poor’s 500. In the past six years, airlines have done a great job of adjusting the number of flights to fall just short of demand. As a result, those who want to fly will pay a premium to do so. Airlines are selling a record 85.1 percent of their domestic seats. Thanks to several mega-mergers, four big airlines control the vast majority of flights, leaving very little room for another airline to undercut fares.

POPE CONFIRMS A TRIP TO PHILLY Organizers of the World Meeting of Families for months were coy when asked if Pope Francis would come to Philadelphia for the massive Roman Catholic-sponsored gathering. The pontiff confirmed his attendance Monday. It will be the first pontifical trip to the U.S. since 2008. Details of Francis’ itinerary will not be finalized until next spring or summer, officials said. The World Meeting of Families, set for Sept. 22-27, will feature several days of workshops, lectures and other activities. The conference is open to anyone who pays the registration fee.

In brief 4 Israelis killed in synagogue attack JERUSALEM — Israeli police say four worshippers have been killed in an attack on a Jerusalem synagogue. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says six people were wounded in the assault, which was described as a “terrorist attack.” Samri says two assailants entered the synagogue on Tuesday with knives, axes and guns and attacked worshippers. The attackers were killed in a shootout with police. Samri said the attackers were Palestinians from east Jerusalem.
Bird flu confirmed at Dutch, UK farms THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Dutch government on Sunday banned the transport of poultry and eggs throughout the country after confirming an outbreak of bird flu at a chicken farm. The Ministry for Economic Affairs said the outbreak is deadly to poultry and can also be transmitted to humans. Spokesman Jan van Diepen said the exact strain of bird flu has not yet been established. All 150,000 chickens at the farm in Hekendorp, 40 miles south of Amsterdam, were being slaughtered. It was not clear how the farm became infected. As well as halting the movement of poultry, other birds and eggs nationwide for 72 hours, the government is imposing other restrictions, including banning the transport of byproducts such as poultry manure and hay that have been used in poultry farms.

CORCORAN, Calif. — Mass murderer Charles Manson plans to marry a 26-year-old woman who left her Midwestern home and spent the past nine years trying to help exonerate him. Afton Elaine Burton, the ravenhaired bride-to-be, said she loves the man convicted in the notorious murders of seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate. No date has been set but a wedding coordinator has been assigned by the prison to handle the nuptials, and the couple has until early February to get married before they would have to reapply. The prospective bride and groom have near-matching carvings on their foreheads. Hers is an “X” and his is an “X” that was turned into a swastika after he carved it during his trial to show he was “X’ed out of society.”
HONG KONG — Workers in Hong Kong have started clearing away barricades at part of one student protest site. The removal comes after a Hong Kong court granted restraining order against the protesters last week requiring them to clear the area in front of a tower in the central part of Hong Kong as well a separate order against a second protest site Mong Kok brought by taxi and minibus operators. The workers could be seen cutting plastic ties holding the barricades together.
Missouri activates National Guard JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency Monday and activated the National Guard ahead of a grand jury decision about whether a white police officer will be charged in the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. Nixon said the National Guard would assist state and local police in case the grand jury’s decision leads to a resurgence of the civil unrest that occurred in the days immediately after the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. There is no specific date for a grand jury decision to be revealed, and Nixon gave no indication that an announcement is imminent.

Ryan wants Ways and Means slot WASHINGTON — House Republicans are delaying votes on new committee chairmen because some members are experiencing weather delays returning to the capital. A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner said a Republican leadership panel will instead vote on committee chairmen Tuesday. Former Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan is aiming to head the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. The post could give Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, a high-profile platform if he decides to run for president in 2016 or beyond. Republicans also are choosing a new chairman for the House Oversight Committee. The head of the panel traditionally acts as a chief antagonist for a president from the opposing party.

For the first time since statins have been regularly used, a large study has found that another type of cholesterol-lowering drug can protect people from heart attacks and strokes. The finding can help millions at high risk of heart attacks who cannot tolerate statins or do not respond to them sufficiently. And it helps clarify the role of LDL cholesterol, the dangerous form. Some had argued that statins reduced heart attack risk not just by lowering LDL levels but also by reducing inflammation. The new study indicates that the crucial factor is LDL, and the lower, the better. The six year study, reported Monday at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association, involved 18,000 people who had had heart attacks or episodes of chest pain so severe they went to a hospital. They were randomly assigned to take a statin or a combination of a statin and the alternative drug to further reduce LDL levels. Both groups ended up with very low LDL levels — those taking the statin, simvastatin, had an average LDL of 69, and those taking simvastatin and the other drug, ezetimibe, or Zetia, in a combination pill sold as Vytorin, had an average LDL of 54. No clinical trial had ever asked what happened when LDL levels get below 70 because, said Dr. Robert Califf, a Duke cardiologist and the study chairman, “many people were nervous about going this low and imagined a lot of possible toxicities.” Statins lower LDL by preventing it from being made. Ezetimibe lowers LDL by preventing cholesterol from being absorbed in the gut. The drugs were so effective that there were few cardiac events among the participants, but eventually a difference emerged: 6.4 percent fewer heart disease deaths, heart attacks, strokes, bypass surgery, stent insertion and severe chest pain leading to hospitalization in those assigned to take Vytorin. The study found absolutely no side effects from ezetimibe — no excess cancer, no muscle aches no headaches, Califf said. The study was sponsored by Merck, the maker of Vytorin, but the investigators had the right to publish what they wanted, with final say over what they wrote. “Fantastic,” said Dr. Sekar Kathiresan of the Broad Institute and Massachusetts General Hospital who studies the genetics of heart disease but had no part in the study. “A truly spectacular result for patients.”

Warning signals for global economy Japan announces it is in recession By Danica Kirka The Associated Press
LONDON — The global economy’s problems seem to be multiplying. Hours after the leaders of the world’s 20 most developed economies sought to boost confidence by promising to increase global output by $2 trillion over five years, Japan said it had fallen into recession. British Prime Minister David Cameron warned in an opinion piece in The Guardian newspaper on Monday that the “red warning lights are flashing” for the world economy. Here’s a look at the problems in some key economies. Japan’s recession: This setback was not in the plan. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had pledged to end two decades of stagnation with a strategy dubbed “Abenomics” that included big economic reforms and stimulus. But the economy contracted at an annual pace of 1.6 percent in the third quarter after housing and business investment dropped following a sales tax increase. Consumer spending is faltering as the population shrinks and grows older. Household incomes peaked more than a decade ago, and workers are increasingly having trouble making ends meet with part-time or contract work. Manufacturers, meanwhile, have lost their leading edge in innovation while shifting production to cheaper locations offshore. The island nation is one of the world’s biggest importers of food and the third-biggest buyer of natural gas. China’s declining growth: Growth in China, a manufacturing giant, is slowing — from 10.4 percent in 2010 to an estimated 7.5 percent this year. Explosive growth in China has been one of the primary drivers of the world economy for the past decade, so its slowdown is having ripple effects. The question for Chinese leaders is how to let the country’s economy slow to more sustainable growth rates without having a “crash landing.” The government is trying to boost domestic spending while easing off its dependence on trade and state-sponsored investment. Emerging markets: China’s slowdown from high rates is echoed in many other emerging markets, such as India and Brazil. Many of these countries have benefited for years from a steady flow of investment from developed economies. That is changing, however. The U.S. Federal Reserve is considering raising interest rates, which will entice some investors to keep their money in the U.S. — or withdraw it from emerging markets. Eurozone woes: The economy of the 18 euro countries has been struggling to grow since it emerged from recession last year. It expanded by a mere 0.2 percent in the third quarter from the previous three-month period. Its problems are compounded by the threat of deflation — when prices fall. A sustained drop would hurt growth by encouraging people to delay purchases in hopes of better deals later on. Government debt, meanwhile, remains high among large economies like France, Italy and Britain. That means they will have to limit spending for years, potentially stymieing growth.

European officials are trying just as furiously to counter that message. “I call solemnly and seriously on all our citizens, and notably our young people who are the primary target of the terrorist propaganda, to open your eyes to the terrible reality of the actions of Daesh,” said French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group. “These are criminals that are building a system of barbarity.” Hauchard gave an interview to France’s BFM television in July, telling the network he had helped capture Mosul, the Iraqi city whose fall eventually prompted the United States to resume military operations in Iraq. “We’re waiting for death,” Hauchard said at the time. “My
objective is to be a martyr.” A man from Wales, Ahmed Muthana, said he thinks he saw his son, 20-year-old Nasser Muthana, in the latest video, and Winter, the British researcher, confirmed the likeness. “It resembles him. I was shown a picture of the video. I cannot confirm it is him, but I think it might be,” Ahmed Muthana told Britain’s Press Association. Kassig had gone to Syria on a humanitarian mission. His parents, Ed and Paula Kassig, said Monday that while their hearts have been shattered by his death, they believe his life is proof that “one person can make a difference.” “In 26 years, he has witnessed and experienced firsthand more of the harsh realities of life than
most of us can imagine,” Paula Kassig said in Indianapolis, Indiana, reading a brief statement. “But rather than letting the darkness overwhelm him, he has chosen to believe in the good — in himself and in others. As for the French militant in the video, Molins said he had used aid work as a pretext. “The humanitarian action was a facade. In fact, he wanted to fight and join Islamic State agents,” Molins said. With Kassig’s death, the Islamic State group has killed five Westerners it was holding. Unlike previous videos of slain Western hostages, the latest one did not show the decapitation of Kassig, the moments leading up to his death or threaten to kill any other Western hostages. It identified the militants’ location as Dabiq, a town in northern Syria that the group uses as the title of its Englishlanguage magazine and where they believe an apocalyptic battle between Muslims and their enemies will occur. The video also showed the beheadings of about a dozen men identified as Syrian military officers, all dressed in blue jumpsuits. All of the militants wore brand new camouflage uniforms, except for the blackclad man who spoke with a British accent and warned that U.S. soldiers will meet a similar fate.
Sierra Leone doctor dies of Ebola in U.S. Treatment delays made it impossible to save his life By Josh Funk and Nelson Lampe The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — A surgeon who contracted Ebola in his native Sierra Leone did not receive aggressive treatment until nearly two weeks after he first started showing symptoms — a delay that doctors said probably made it impossible for anyone to save his life. Dr. Martin Salia was in the 13th day of his illness when he reached Omaha on Saturday. He had waited three days to be formally diagnosed after an initial test for Ebola came back negative. He then waited five more days to be flown to the United States. By the time the 44-year-old Maryland man got to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, the deadly virus had done too much damage, shutting down Salia’s kidneys and making breathing dif-
ficult, doctors said. He died Monday. “In the very advanced stages, even the modern techniques are not enough Dr. Martin to help these Salia patients,” said Dr. Jeffrey Gold, chancellor of the medical center. Salia was first tested for Ebola on Nov. 7, but the test was negative, and he was discharged from a treatment center in Sierre Leone. It’s not unusual to see false negative tests for Ebola in the early stages, said Dr. Phil Smith, the infectious-disease expert who leads the Nebraska Medical Center’s biocontainment unit. The U.S. government warns doctors to be wary of possible false negative tests. Salia tested positive for the disease on Nov. 10 but did not arrive in Omaha until Saturday. Government officials in Sierra Leone promised a full investigation into Salia’s treatment.

Eval: State stands firm on use of testing data
Allies: Insurers will resist plans to dismantle law Continued from Page A-1
Continued from Page A-1 Skandera indicated the department will not compromise on that issue. Rep. Mimi Stewart, D-Albuquerque, said the 50 percent quota is a “disservice” to teachers. Stewart expressed concern that the state, in adopting the Common Core Standards, will now administer Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, tests online for the first time and that the state’s students are unlikely to perform well on them this year. “We don’t score very well historically, and we’re not going to in the near future,” Stewart said, suggesting that poor student outcomes will hurt teacher evaluations. While committee chairman Sen. John Sapien, D-Corrales, did not allow Skandera to respond to Stewart’s remark, Skandera later said, “I find it fundamentally offensive that anyone representing our state implies our students can not do as well as other students. We completely disagree.” Skandera presented a list of remedies to address other problems with the evaluation system, including assigning a departmental liaison to every one of the state’s 89 districts and nearly 100 charter schools to ensure better communication and data collection; increased training on how the system works; use of a database educators could access to ensure their own information is correct; and the creation of a pilot program in Albuquerque Public Schools to better evaluate special education teachers. “Do we have room for improvement, particularly on the implementation side? Absolutely,” Skandera said. Since early summer, committee members have heard testimony from 27 district superintendents, as well as principals and other educators, about problems encountered in initiating the teacher evaluation system. Some educators took responsibility for data collection and dissemination, which resulted in faulty evaluations for some teach-

ers. Others suggested the education department does not have enough qualified people to process the information in a timely and accurate manner. Problems voiced by educators included severe changes in evaluations for some teachers over time as more data was collected, teachers being rated based on students or classes they never taught, and teachers receiving different points despite identical standards-based assessment information. The evaluation system covers four domains of teaching and rates teachers based on a number of factors, including student test scores, teacher attendance records, observations by principals and student surveys. Test scores and other measures of student achievement make up 50 percent of an evaluation — a ratio contested and criticized by many educators and teachers unions, who say testing is not an accurate way to measure teacher success. Earlier this year, the National Education Association New Mexico union filed a lawsuit contending the new evaluation system violates the state constitution by usurping statutory provisions that “provide to local school districts the authority to establish the policies, guidelines and procedures for teacher evaluation.” NEA New Mexico also filed a second suit against the department in an attempt to get it to comply with records requests for data the department has to back its claim that more than 99 percent of teachers were evaluated as meeting competency under the previous teacher evaluation system. That issue came up during Monday’s meeting when Sapien asked Skandera where the department got
those figures. Matthew Montaño, director of the Education Quality Division of the Public Education Department, told Sapien they came from evaluation dossiers submitted by about 7,000 educators several years ago under the old system. There are more than 21,000 teachers in the state now. Sapien said that sampling just a third of teachers is not a fair comparison, a point echoed by Charles Goodmacher, government relations representative for NEA New Mexico. He said the 7,000 figure does not include the number of teachers who did not submit dossiers because they were not meeting competency, and the department’s estimates therefore are incorrect. “They repeat a lie that they feel is necessary to implement the new teacher evaluation system,” he said. Larry Behrens, spokesman for the Public Education Department, said the department made it clear when it convened a teacher evaluation task force, which included NEA representatives, that the figures were based on 25 percent of the state’s teachers. “The number was accurately represented then and NEA had no problems. We believe in standing by our word; it’s unfortunate they do not,” he said. Sapien and other committee members praised Skandera for listening to educator concerns and coming up with a plan to address many of them. But when they asked Skandera to either decrease the percentage of student test data or continue piloting the overall evaluation program, she said, “We don’t intend to rewind. We intend to learn as we continue to move forward.” Contact Robert Nott at 986-3021 or rnott@sfnewmexican.com.
Crash: Results of blood test pending Continued from Page A-1 reported a reckless driver had almost hit several cars while headed northbound on U.S. 84/285. The caller was trying to follow the driver of a white Ford Explorer in an attempt to get its license plate number, a news release said. About seven minutes later, dispatchers received a call about an accident on the highway in Pojoaque. Witnesses told the sheriff’s office that Griego, who was driving a white Ford Explorer, was seen pulling off the highway after the crash at Exit 177 near the casino. Deputies found Griego, who had left his vehicle on the side of the road, outside the casino.
Authorities said Griego showed signs of impairment, and he initially was charged with felony DWI and driving on a revoked license. Blood was drawn from Griego to determine his blood-alcohol level, Capt. Adan Mendoza of the sheriff’s office said. The results are pending, he said. The DWI charge was not Griego’s first, but it wasn’t immediately clear how many times he has been arrested for similar offenses. Mendoza said Griego has a history of driving while intoxicated. A news release on Friday indicated it was at least his fourth DWI. Mendoza said he couldn’t provide further details on Griego’s earlier DWI charges because they were filed outside
Santa Fe County. Online court records show Griego pleaded guilty to his first DWI charge in 1985 in Metropolitan Court in Albuquerque. Records also show that Griego pleaded guilty in 2000 to being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In that case, he paid fines, served an unspecified amount of time in jail and was ordered to perform community service. Santa Fe County jail records show Griego also was picked up in February 2001 and held for 12 hours under the state’s protective custody law. Contact Uriel J.

the libertarian Cato Institute. So much so, in fact, that insurers may soon be on a collision course with the Republican majority in the new Congress. Insurers, often aligned with Republicans in the past, have built their business plans around the law and will strenuously resist Republican efforts to dismantle it. Since Obama signed the law, share prices for four of the major insurance companies — Aetna, Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealth — have more than doubled, while the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index has increased about 70 percent. “These companies all look at government programs as growth markets,” said Michael J. Tuffin, a former executive vice president of America’s Health Insurance Plans, the main lobby for the industry. “There will be nearly $2 trillion of subsidized coverage through insurance exchanges and Medicaid over the next 10 years. These are pragmatic companies. They will follow the customer.” The relationship is expected only to deepen as the two sides grow more intertwined. Consumers are already hearing the same messages from insurance companies and the government urging them to sign up for health plans during the three-month enrollment period. Federal law requires most Americans to have coverage, insurers provide it, and the government subsidizes it. “We are in this together,” Kevin J. Counihan, the chief executive of the federal insurance marketplace, told insurers at a recent conference in Washington. “You have been our partners,” and for that, he said, “we are very grateful.” Despite Obama’s denunciations of insurers in 2009, it became inevitable that they would have a central role in expanding coverage under the Affordable Care Act later that year when Congress ruled out a government-run health plan — the “public option.” But friction between insurers and the Obama administration continued into 2013 as the industry bristled at stringent rules imposed on carriers in the name of consumer protection. A turning point came last fall, after the chaotic debut of HealthCare. gov, when insurers waived enrollment deadlines and helped the White House fix the dysfunctional website. Now insurers say government business is growing much faster than the market for commercial employersponsored coverage. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 170 million people will have coverage through Medicare, Medicaid and the insurance exchanges by 2023, an increase of about 50 percent from 2013. By contrast, the number of people with employer-based coverage is expected to rise just 2 percent, to 159 million. In addition, the Affordable Care Act has engendered growth in the role of private insurers in Medicaid. The law expanded eligibility for Medicaid, and most of the new beneficiaries receive care from private health plans under contracts awarded by state Medicaid agencies. As a result, Medicaid enrollment is up more than 8 million, or 15 percent, in the last year. In a survey of 10 insurance companies, Joshua R. Raskin, an analyst at Barclays, reported that their revenues from the Medicare Advantage program were up about 10 percent this year. UnitedHealth Group’s Medicaid enrollment surged by nearly 1 million people, or 24 percent, in the last year, said Stephen J. Hemsley, the chief executive. At another large insurer,
WellPoint, the expansion of Medicaid “is proving highly profitable,” Christine Arnold, a managing director of Cowen and Company, wrote in a recent report. WellPoint is a case study in how companies have adapted to the law. In 2010, as Democrats attacked the insurance industry for what they said were its high prices and discriminatory practices, no company was more of a target than WellPoint, which had sought rate increases of up to 39 percent in California. But WellPoint, which operates Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans in a number of states, is now prospering. WellPoint announced recently that it had gained 751,000 subscribers through the health insurance exchanges and 699,000 new members through Medicaid. Since the end of 2013, WellPoint’s Medicaid enrollment has increased by 16 percent, to a total of 5 million. “Our government business is growing along multiple fronts” and accounted for about 45 percent of the company’s consolidated operating revenues, said Joseph R. Swedish, the chief executive of WellPoint. Aetna, in reporting its third-quarter results, said many people thought 2014 would “spell the death of our industry.” But, the company said, it is having “a very good year,” thanks in part to “excellent performance in our government business, which now represents more than 40 percent of our health premiums.” Insurers and the administration still have many disagreements, but open conflicts are rare. “With all the politics of the Affordable Care Act, people don’t realize how much the industry has benefited, and will continue to benefit, from the law,” said Jay Angoff, the Obama administration’s top insurance regulator from 2010 through 2012. One insurer, Humana, derives about 65 percent of its revenue from its Medicare Advantage plans. Enrollment in these plans climbed 17.5 percent, to 2.9 million, in the year that ended Sept. 30, the company said. At UnitedHealth Group, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage together are expected to provide more than $60 billion in revenue, or slightly less than half of the company’s total, this year. United expects to participate in insurance exchanges in 23 states next year, up from four this year. “The government, as a benefit sponsor, has been increasingly relying on private sector programs,” United said in a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. “We expect this trend to continue.” In another sign of the close relationship, the administration has recruited experts from the industry to provide operational expertise. Eight months after the unit of UnitedHealth Group, called Optum, helped repair HealthCare.gov, the administration hired a top Optum executive, Andrew M. Slavitt, as the No. 2 official at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The administration waived conflict-of-interest rules so that Slavitt could participate in decisions affecting UnitedHealth and Optum. Now, as millions of Americans shop for insurance, federal officials are eager to collaborate with an industry they once demonized. “The relationship between the marketplace and insurers is really critical to a successful program,” said Ben Walker, director of open enrollment for the federal exchange. “Without that, we don’t have any coverage.”
Luján: Congressman is second Hispanic chairman of committee Continued from Page A-1 of this very well.” Luján said in an interview Monday that he and Pelosi first talked about the position a week ago. Pelosi asked him to keep it quiet, he said. “My mom’s the only person I spoke to about it,” he said. At a news conference about the appointment on Monday, Luján apologized for being late, saying, “I couldn’t get Mom off the phone.” Pelosi long has had a good relationship with Luján, who was just re-elected to his fourth term representing New Mexico’s 3rd Congressional District. In 2011, Pelosi visited Santa Fe, where she praised the congressman and his father, former state House Speaker Ben Luján at public events. Luján, according to The Washington Post’s U.S. Congress Votes Database, has voted with the House Democratic leadership 93 percent of the time. The Post described Luján’s new position as “a plum assignment heading into a 2016 political cycle that is expected to be much more beneficial for Democrats.” The Post described the New Mexico congressman as “a fresh and much younger face among top House Democrats.”
The move also could be seen as a sign of the growing importance of Hispanics in national politics. Luján will be the second Hispanic chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. The first was Anthony Coelho of California, who served three terms as chairman starting in the early 1980s. But after the brutal shellacking House Democrats took in this year’s election, some might not see the job of managing the caucus’ political operation as enviable. Luján will face the challenge of rebuilding the operation. This year, the party lost at least a dozen House seats to Republicans in the midterm elections, leaving them with the lowest number of Democrats in the House since the 1940s. “It’s true we have the biggest deficit of Democrats in some time,” Luján said. “But this is a great opportunity to make gains in 2016.” He said he believes that with his “humble beginnings” he can resonate with voters across the country who feel left out by the Republican Congress. Luján had expressed interest in running for chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, of which he’s

currently vice chairman. But he said Monday, “I will no longer be pursuing that this year.” He said he’s backing Rep. Linda Sánchez of California for that job. A liberal activist group called the Progressive Change Campaign Committee
praised Pelosi’s decision — but mostly for not choosing another Congressman who was interested in the job, Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut. “We thank Leader Pelosi for not selecting Jim Himes to lead the DCCC — thereby rejecting the Wall Street
wing of the Democratic Party,” the group’s co-founder Adam Green said in a statement. “In order to win key House races, Democrats must run on big, bold, populist ideas like those championed by Elizabeth Warren. This means recruiting economic populist candidates — especially in red and purple states — and working with them to integrate a populist vision into their campaign messaging. The PCCC will be doing this, and we hope to partner with Rep. Ben Ray Luján and others to achieve success in 2016.” Some of the Washington press corps expressed shock at Luján’s appointment. Lynn Sweet, Washington bureau chief of the Chicago Sun Times, said in a tweet that the “little-known” Luján’s appointment was “controversial.” Among those who had been mentioned for the job were better-known members of Congress, including Himes, Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado, Rep. Donna Edwards of Maryland and Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas. Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@ sfnewmexican.com.

Vaccines: Feds seem intent on keeping system’s public profile low Continued from Page A-1 Among the AP’s findings: u Private attorneys have been paid tens of millions of taxpayer dollars even as they clog the court with more cases than they can handle, some of which the court rejected as totally inadequate. The court offers a financial incentive to over-file — unlike typical civil court cases, attorneys are paid whether or not they win, as was the case with more than 5,000 losing claims that vaccines caused the developmental disability autism. Those who double-bill for their time or consistently submit questionable expenses are not disciplined. u Prominent attorneys have enlisted expert witnesses whose own work has been widely discredited, including one who treated autism with a potent drug used to chemically castrate serial rapists. Another doctor cribbed his material from an anti-vaccine website. Some of the most prominent experts set up nonprofits questioning vaccine safety, further fueling public skepticism. Meanwhile, many doctors hired by the government to defend vaccine safety in court have ties to the pharmaceutical industry. u Lawmakers designed vaccine court to favor payouts, but the government fights legitimate claims and fails its obligation to publicize the court, worried that if they concede a vaccine caused harm, the public will react by skipping shots. The court was created with relaxed standards of evidence and a burden of proof more easily met than civil lawsuits. Lawmakers expected some children would get help even though their injuries weren’t truly caused by a vaccine. If government doctors had their way, though, 1,600 families would not have gotten more than $1.1 billion in cash and future medical care between the court’s opening in 1988 and then end of 2012. u Cases are supposed to be resolved within 240 days, with options for another 150 days of extensions. Less than 7 percent of 7,876 claims not involving autism met the 240-day target. Add in autism claims, which were postponed so the court could hear all of them at once, and just 4.5 percent took fewer than 240 days. Most non-autism cases take at least two and a half years, with the average case length more than three years, not including cases unresolved at the end of 2012. Hundreds have surpassed the decade mark. Several people died before getting any money. Caught in the middle are families that need help. “The system is not working,” said Richard Topping, a former U.S. Department of Justice attorney who handled vaccine injury claims but resigned after concluding his bosses had no desire to fix the major flaws he saw. “People who need help aren’t getting it.”
A system meant to speed litigation The vanquishing of polio, measles and other preventable diseases was the transcendent public health accomplishment of the 20th century. And yet, by the mid-1980s, those gains seemed fragile. Pharmaceutical companies were facing a barrage of lawsuits from parents who believed the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis shot had disabled their kids. Their profits imperiled, vaccine makers signaled they would leave the U.S. market. In response, Congress gave a break both to pharmaceutical companies and to those who received a vaccine to prevent one illness, yet suffered another. To protect the nation’s supply, lawmakers shielded companies from jury verdicts, shifting liability for injuries to the U.S. government. That part worked: Vaccines are widely available, and profitable. To help people harmed by shots, Congress created the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. Government doctors and lawyers review claims. If they believe it is more likely than not that a vaccine — and not something else — caused the injury, they tap a $3.5 billion fund to pay for future care and lost wages. That fund is replenished by a 75-cent tax on each vaccine.

Judge rejects official’s plea deal in assault case Española city councilor accused of pistol whipping a man and shooting man’s vehicle By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican
A state district judge on Monday rejected a plea deal in a case in which an Española city councilor is accused of pistol whipping a man and shooting at the man’s vehicle. The deal would have allowed Eric Radosevich, 45, to dispose of the case by serving 18 months on probation and paying restitution to the alleged victim. He is charged with a felony count of shooting at or from a moving vehicle after he allegedly pistol-whipped the man and shot at his car, hitting it twice.
Reports have said an altercation began at the Pojoaque Kicks 66 gas station around 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning in June. According to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s office, David Perez — the man whose vehicle Radosevich is accused of shooting — was pumping gas when he noticed four men in a truck flirting with his wife. Perez allegedly took a baseball bat out of his truck and confronted the men, then left to meet a friend at the Roadrunner Cafe. The men in the truck, including Radosevich, followed Perez to the restaurant, according to
deal, seemed to be that the deal would have given Radosevich a conditional discharge, meaning that if he successfully completed the 18 months of probation he would not have a conviction on his record. Ellington also seemed unhappy with the fact that Perez was not at the hearing to give Eric his opinion of the deal in which Radosevich Radosevich would have been pleading no contest. The prosecutor in the case handgun. Radosevich then left the scene, said Perez had come to the courtfiring two shots at Perez’s vehicle house to speak but felt uncomas he left, one of which hit Perez’s fortable and left.

he wouldn’t accept the deal the attorneys in the case requested permission to approach the bench and speak to the judge. But Ellington said “no” and said he wants Perez, or a written statement, present at the next hearing. “This isn’t one of those cases that needs to go all the way,” said Radosevich’s attorney, Dan Marlowe. “It shouldn’t go anywhere but a conditional discharge.” Marlowe, who said during the hearing that he didn’t want to waste the court’s time with the case, declined to answer questions after the hearing. He said Radosevich, who is free on bond and appeared Monday sans the bushy beard he wore when his mug shot was taken in June, also had no comment.
Two found dead with gunshot wounds
Radosevich, who is married and has two children, was elected to the Española City Council in March 2012 and has two years remaining on his term. Two other men — Samuel Garcia, 51, of Española and Benjamin Duran, 29, of Santa Fe — who allegedly were in the truck with Radosevich and participated in the alleged harassment of Perez’s wife, were also arrested in conjunction with the last case. According to online court records both Garcia and Duran were charged in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court with conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, but the charges were dismissed by the prosecutor “without prejudice,” meaning they could be refiled.
S.F. man accused of stealing a donation jar surrenders
Bodies discovered at Picuris Pueblo home by neighbors
Suspect turned himself in at city police station
By Andrew Oxford The Taos News
By Uriel J. Garcia
TAOS — Two men identified by witnesses as brothers were found dead of what appeared to be gunshot wounds Saturday afternoon at a home on Picuris Pueblo in southern Taos County. A spokesperson for the FBI, which is leading an investigation into the deaths, did not disclose the men’s names Monday. The Taos News has since identified one of the men as Christopher Simbolo, 30, of Picuris Pueblo. In calls to emergency dispatchers shortly after 2 p.m., neighbors said they found Simbolo lying face up and bleeding on the porch of an Eagle View Lane home. Simbolo’s brother was found lying on the floor inside the residence. One caller also reported seeing a gun on the porch but said they did not hear any shots. FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs agents are investigating the deaths, which occurred on tribal land. Investigators aided by the New Mexico State Police remained at Picuris Pueblo into Saturday evening conducting interviews, according to Frank Fisher, media coordinator for the FBI’s Albuquerque division. The FBI has not indicated that they are seeking any suspects in connection with the case but Fisher declined to elaborate on the circumstances surrounding the deaths, noting the investigation was ongoing and autopsies had yet to be performed. Local residents who spoke to The Taos News on Sunday suggested the incident was a murder-suicide, characterizing it as a tragic shock to the small community 17 miles east of Embudo on the Rio Pueblo.

Agency wants $3M to expand ‘True’ campaign Department to market state attractions in San Francisco By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican
S
tate Tourism Department Director Monique Jacobson has a simple message for lawmakers: Give me $3 million for more marketing, and the “New Mexico True” ad campaign will take on San Francisco. The Bay City would be the eighth target for the cultural tourism campaign, as marketing efforts have already taken hold in Dallas, Phoenix, Houston, Chicago, San Diego, New York and Denver. Lawmakers on the Interim Jobs Committee
unanimously supported the expansion Wednesday, which now moves forward to the Legislature as part of the department’s overall budget. In testimony before the panel, which is looking at economic development initiatives, Jacobson said the department has learned many things about marketing New Mexico by analyzing data and demographics. For one, she said, international marketing efforts have not significantly increased visits to the state. International travelers have held steady at 5 percent, no matter what the state spends. So all new marketing money is being spent in domestic markets, she said. She also said the department used to have two

A 28-year-old man accused of stealing a donation jar from a Santa Fe music store last month has surrendered himself to police. The theft of the jar containing about $50 to help students attend a summer music camp was captured on surveillance video at the Candyman Strings and Things, 851 St. Michael’s Drive, on Oct. 13. Fernando The Santa Fe Police Sena Department issued a statement Monday that said Fernando Sena of Santa Fe was arrested Sunday on a warrant charging him with larceny. Lt. Andrea Dobyns said that Sena turned himself in at the city police station. The surveillance video shows a man later identified as Sena dressed in dark-colored boots, a white shirt, a necklace, a gray jacket and pants walking into the store. In the video, the man eyes something near the store’s register at 10:49 a.m. About 11 minutes later, he picks up the pink donation jar and quickly walks out of the store. Store owner Cindy Cook said her business has gathered about $500 in donations for scholarships for next summer’s camp, which runs for two weeks in three different sessions — June, July and August — and hosts 60 to 75 students. The children are taught a song by instructors, and they then record it in a local studio. At the end of the camp, the kids perform the song live at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Cook posted images of the video on the company’s Facebook profile page in late October. Police were able to identify the man in the video as Sena after the public viewed the images on the social media website. Sena is being held at the Santa Fe County jail in lieu of $5,000 cash-only bond, online records show.
Rep. Christina Trujillo to run for minority leader Two others vie for top position for Democrats By Steve Terrell The New Mexican
State Rep. Christina Trujillo of Albuquerque confirmed Monday that she’s running for Democratic floor leader in the state House of Representatives. Trujillo told The New Mexican that she believes her experience as a union leader would serve House Democrats well if they elect her as minority leader. She has served as state president of the American Federation of Teachers, and as president of the New Mexico Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO for 12 years.
“I want to see the caucus stay strong and not acquiesce to the administration’s so-called ‘reforms,’ ” Trujillo said. “I want to continue to support the existing policy on immigration,” she said, referring to the 2003 state law that allows the Motor Vehicles Division issue driver’s license to undocumented immigrants. The administration of Gov. Susana Martinez has fought for the past four years to repeal that law. Trujillo, a retired teacher, is a native of Taos, though she’s lived in Albuquerque since 1981. She was first elected to the House in 2012 and was re-elected to a second term this year. In a letter to fellow House Democrats, Trujillo wrote, “During my

time in the legislature, I’ve been a tireless advocate for working men and women with a 100 percent pro-labor voting record and a conservation record as good as anyone in New Mexico while championing sustainable and quality economic development. I’ve championed Anti-Predatory Lending legislation, increasing the minimum wage, women’s rights and many other progressive and innovative ideas.” At least two others are vying for what is now the top position for Democrats in the House: Rep. Brian Egolf of Santa Fe and Rep. Eliseo Alcon of Milan. Trujillo said the 33 House Democrats will have a caucus meeting on Saturday. But she said she’s not sure whether they will actually vote on
caucus leaders or leave that for a later date. The Legislature convenes in January. Because of losses in the general election this month, Democrats will be in the minority for the first time since the early 1950s. Because of that political shake-up, House Speaker Kenny Martinez of Grants will have to relinquish that post. Republican Rep. Don Tripp of Socorro will succeed him as speaker. Martinez has announced that he won’t be seeking the position as minority leader. Contact Steve Terrell at sterrell@ sfnewmexican.com.

Santa Fe artist turns dumpster into mini park ‘Parklet’ is first of three to be built By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican
Santa Fe’s St. Michael’s Drive corridor is getting a little love in the form of a modified dumpster. The so-called “parklet,” which started out as a rusty waste container, was dubbed by its creator as the Love Transfer Station. “We took a used, decrepit construction dumpster and turned it into a mobile mini park,” local sculptor Don Kennell said Monday after an official unveiling near the corner of St. Michael’s Drive and Llano Street. “We focused on the concept of love because we felt like it had a broad appeal, and we wanted this to really kind of be accessible to everybody in the community, something that would draw them in,” he said.
“We wanted it to be bright and loud and brash so that people would really ask themselves, ‘What is this thing about?’ ” The creation is the first of three funded by a $50,000 grant from the PNM Resources Foundation’s Power Up Grant program. All three will be in the St. Michael’s Drive corridor, an area the city has targeted for revitalization. “Right now along St. Michael’s corridor, about 73 percent of the land up against the corridor is made up of parking places,” Mayor Javier Gonzales said at Monday’s unveiling. “We need to rethink that whole design style and introduce really cool concepts like this mobile mini park, rethink the development along St. Michael’s so that it’s more inviting.” Designed and built by Kennell and landscape architect Christie Green of Radicle with help from three apprentices from Youth
Works, the finished work has seating inside surrounded by terraced planting beds that Kennell said will be “overflowing with plants and flowers” in the spring. The plants and flowers, which will be irrigated by a heartshaped water tank, all have some kind of connection to love, either through color or species names. They include sand lovegrass, Virgin’s Bower climbing vine and Eversweet strawberries. “It’s basically a lot of different textures and structures and shapes and colors that are inviting and hopefully make people think of love and passion and love and kindness and beauty,” Green said. “It’s hopefully a place where people feel inspired to actually gather and enjoy and spend time together.” Contact Daniel J. Chacón at 986-3089 or dchacon@ sfnewmexican.com. Follow him on Twitter @danieljchacon.

Tai Chan, 27, who entered a not guilty plea through his lawyer in state District Court in Las Cruces. Chan earlier had been held in the Doña Ana County jail without bail in connection with the Oct. 28 incident. As part of the conditions of release, Chan will have to stay in Doña Ana County, can’t carry a firearm and can’t consume alcohol. His lawyer, John Day, said these are all standard conditions. Authorities have said that Chan shot and killed Santa Fe County Deputy Jeremy Martin, 29, on Oct. 28 at a Las Cruces hotel after the two had gone out drinking at local pub the night before. Investigators have not released information on what the two men had been arguing about. The Associated Press reported that Martin’s sister, Laurie Martin-Shelly, gave

Bear, cougar harvests increase in New Mexico Bear mortality from licensed hunts and depredation kills have increased during the last three years in New Mexico, according to state Department of Game and Fish statistics. In 2013, the black bear harvest by licensed hunters was 545. Depredation, road kill and accidents brought the total to 778 bears killed. A total of 713 bears were killed by hunters, drivers or accidents in 2012 and 777 were killed in 2011. The annual average number of bears killed over the four prior years was 376. The department also tracks the number of mountain lions killed each year from a variety of causes. A total of 253 cougars were killed in the 2013-14 season. Most were killed by licensed hunters. Two dozen were killed after they attacked livestock and another 17 were killed to protect bighorn sheep. A total of nine were killed by

vehicles or in other accidents. The number was a total of 54 fewer cougars killed than in 2012, but was a higher mortality count than in each of the previous nine years. The department sets a hunting quota for bears and cougars each year based on the estimated total animals in the wild and estimated losses from other causes.
Forest managers plan fires near Jemez Springs A prescribed pile burn is planned one mile west of Jemez Springs between Nov. 19 and March 31 as weather conditions allow. Fire managers from the Santa Fe National Forest intend to burn piles of debris a few at a time around a 450-acre parcel on Virgin Mesa. The Virgin Mesa prescribed pile burn is designed to remove dead forest fuels and promote forest health. Smoke from the Virgin Mesa prescribed burn will likely be visible from Jemez Springs, Cañon, La Cueva, Sierra Los Pinos, Jemez Pueblo, San Ysidro, Zia Pueblo, Bernalillo and Rio Rancho. Smoke may reduce visibility for drivers along U.S. 550 and N.M. 4 between La Cueva and the Valle Grande, an announcement said. The New Mexican
Tourism: Brought record revenue to Roswell Continued from Page A-6 full-time staffers attend trade shows and tourism conventions, but the returns were slight, and as more and more vacationers look to the Internet to make decisions, convention spending has been largely eliminated. But what does work — at this point in time — is the adventure and cultural appeal of the “New Mexico True” campaign, Jacobson said. The effort highlights the natural and cultural uniqueness of the state, from its centuries-old communities to the landscapes of Chaco Canyon and White Sands
National Monument. That is why the Tourism Department is focusing on expanding that message to San Francisco, where travelers have disposable incomes and value cultural attractions. Jacobson said more money is not always the answer to better marketing, but now that the state has something that works, “money can help us bring scale to that.” “Culture is what differentiates us from other states,” she said. Lawmakers agreed, saying the campaign has increased lodging and overnight stays throughout

the state — even in less-wellknown areas such as Roswell and Red River, both of which are seeing record revenue from the lodgers tax, which is paid by overnight hotel guests. Don Tripp, a Socorro Republican who likely will take over as House speaker in January, even asked Jacobson if there is a ceiling to what she would be able to do with more money. At this time, the state could increase spending fourfold and still see a return on investment, she said. Jacobson said the department is also partnering with the private sector — the Bradbury Stamm Construction company has put New Mexico True wraps on its trucks, and a food manufacturing firm is looking to use the campaign to boost its brand nationally.
Another partnership involves the new owner of Taos Ski Valley, Louis Bacon, a billionaire who made his fortune in finance and business investing. Jacobson, a Taos native, said the ski resort is trying to bring in hedge fund owners and investors to team them with emerging entrepreneurs, who will get the opportunity to make a business pitch while riding on the new Kachina Lift. The 12,450-foot Kachina Peak, about a five-minute ride on the new chairlift, will open for skiing for the first time this season. There is no date yet for what Jacobson called the “Ski Lift Challenge,” as details are still being finalized. Contact Bruce Krasnow at 9863034 or brucek@sfnewmexican. com.
of the tank’s construction, adding that there was only “some very vague indication” of a water storage tank during the master planning phase. Rivera said the only time he could think of a similar situation is when some west-side residents complained after the newly built Camino Alire Bridge over the Santa Fe River was painted a dark red. However, after some public outcry over the projected cost of repainting the bridge, city councilors decided against the idea. “I don’t think staff or anyone does this on purpose,” Rivera said. “I think it’s just done one way and not much thought into it, thinking no one is really going to complain about it and then we see the complaints.” Maestas jokingly offered an idea on how the water tank could be repainted. “I was going to suggest painting [on the tank] the faces of the councilors that represent that district,” he said, generating laughter. “It’s not Mount Rushmore, but it could be close.”
Police: Female suspect tried to escape through ceiling tiles ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico State Police say a woman arrested on a stolen vehicle charge tried to escape custody by climbing through ceiling tiles. KOB-TV reports that police say Shylen Salazar scaled into the ceiling above her Presbyterian Hospital bed and hid there for more than an hour before authorities found her. According to police, Salazar was arrested for possession of a stolen truck. But while in a hold cell, she told the guards she swallowed a batch of drugs to hide them from police. Police say after she was rushed to the hospital last week, she attempted her breakout. Salazar is facing charges of possession of a stolen vehicle and escaping from police custody. It was not known if she had an attorney. The Associated Press

17 Duke Man accused of assault gets five years probation City cops Under deal, prison time suspended fired since ’10 The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — More than a quarter of the Albuquerque officers fired in recent years were dismissed for use of force, according to a review of police documents. A review of termination letters by the Albuquerque Journal found 17 Albuquerque officers have been fired since 2010, and five of those firings involved use-of-force allegations. Documents show the 12 dismissals that didn’t involve use of force included six officers fired for policy violations and four who were indicted in criminal cases. The final two officers were still in probationary periods, and they were dismissed without stated reasons. Of the five officers fired because of an alleged useof-force episode, one was in connection to a shooting. And all the officers had other violations cited in their dismissal letters. Some critics say those numbers are too low given the U.S. Department of Justice determination that Albuquerque police have a practice of violating constitutional rights through lethal and nonlethal force. “There is no accountability, and there is no discipline process in place,” said Kenneth Ellis Jr., whose son was shot and killed by an Albuquerque police officer in 2010. “It’s very disappointing that only five officers in five years have been fired” for excessive force. Stephanie Lopez, president of the Albuquerque Police Officers’ Association, said the process for disciplining an officer for a policy violation does not require as complex an investigation as that of an officer-involved shooting. That is one reason why the latter accounts for fewer terminations, she said. The city recently signed an agreement with the Justice Department that seeks to overhaul Albuquerque police. The deal calls for new training and protocols for investigating officer shootings. In May, Albuquerque police changed the way it reviews use-of-force incidents, and supervisors now must sign off on a much more detailed report on all use-of-force cases. That change was included in the settlement agreement.
Police notes The Santa Fe Police Department took the following reports: u A purse and a wallet were stolen from a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta between 12:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the 1500 block of Cerro Gordo Road. u A 20-inch flat-screen TV and a speaker system were stolen from a residence in the 600 block of West San Franciso Street between 1 a.m. Friday and noon Saturday.

But when the victim spoke, Nagurksi allegedly pulled out the knife. Nagurksi faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a weapon on school grounds. School district officials say Nagurski is on paid administrative leave. The Associated Press

HENRY HORAK Henry Horak, 65, today my heart aches, for the world has lost a kind and gentle soul. Henry Louis Horak was a great man who filled the lives of so many with love and warmth. I find relief that he is finally at peace, yet I hurt with the loss of such a great man, and the sadness that flows through families and friends today. We will forever cherish our memories, and will find peace in knowing he will be watching over us all. Rest in peace Lou. I Do Not Think My Song Will End I do not think my song will end, While flowers, grass and trees abound, With birds and butterflies. For I am one with these. And I believe my voice will sound?, Upon the whispering wind.? So long as even one remains?, Among those I call "friend." I shall remain in hearts and minds,? Of loved ones that I knew,. And in the rocks and hills and streams,? Because I love those, too. So long as love and hope and dreams?, Abide in earth and sky. Weep not for me, Though I be gone.

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY JEAN CHAMBERS (NÉE LONGBOTHAM)
DANCA DIXON Danca Dixon, 92, passed away peacefully in her home on November 12, 2014. She was born January 19, 1922 in Sofia NM to immigrant Bulgarian parents. After WW II Danca moved to Albuquerque where she met Jim Dixon at a USO dance. They were married on December 22, 1946, living in Taos and Santa Fe, where they raised their four boys. Danca worked for the NM State Highway Dept. until 1983. She belonged to Garden Club, Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, Toast Masters, DeMolay Mom, and attended St. John’s United Methodist Church. In later years, Jim and Danca spent winters in Apache Junction, AZ where Danca created beautiful paintings and ceramics. The Dixon family would like to express their deepest gratitude to Raymond Ortega, her caregiver, for his devoted care to Danca. She is preceded in death by her parents George Sr. and Lucy Belcheff, her siblings Evanca, Mary, Polly, George Jr. and her husband Jim. Danca is survived by her brother Steve Belcheff (Alba), four children Gary (Susan), Jerry (Debbie), Jim Jr. (Kim) and Harold (Kathy); eleven grandchildren Rebecca, Russell (Kindee), Monica, Melanie, Adam, Jessica, Jared, Lauren, Travis, Evan and Kimber and four greatgrandchildren Anika, Lucy, Slyler, and Miles.

Jean Chambers (née Longbotham), 90 years old, of Santa Fe, NM, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of November 4, 2014 at St. Vincent Hospital. She was born in Snyder, TX, on May 3, 1924 and was raised in Hermleigh, TX. She graduated from Texas State Teachers College in Denton. Jean moved to Santa Fe in 1952 and was married to William N. Chambers in 1958 until his death. Jean moved to El Castillo nine years ago; she thrived there and was involved in many activities. As part of her contribution, she brought many artists to perform for the residents, which gave her enormous joy. Jean was very happy there and she loved her many friends among the residents and staff. She was also a long time and devoted member of Fifteen Club of Santa Fe. Faith was at the center of her life and she had many dear friends at The First Baptist Church as well as friends made in the over sixty years she lived in Santa Fe. Jean was unusually generous, had a talent for friendship, was delightfully outspoken and direct, proper, and always polite. She was the perfect example of someone who would rather give than receive. She will be missed by all who had the good fortune to know her. Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Victor Longbotham and Tressie (née Kemp), as well as her brother, Weldon Longbotham. She is survived by her niece, Lori Longbotham of New York City and her nephew, Steve Longbotham, his wife Elizabeth (née Hutapea), and daughter Sarah of Walnut Creek, CA. A funeral will take place in the near future at the cemetery in Fort Sumner, New Mexico.

LOCAL BUSINESS Story and photos by Hollis Walker For The New Mexican
he third time just might be the charm for Trevor Lucero. The owner of Tathagata Coffee at Rancho Viejo Village Center previously started and ran two other successful coffee enterprises, both in Albuquerque. But after the second one closed its doors, Lucero decided to come home. Technically, the artist-turned-coffee purveyor isn’t from the City Different; he grew up in Los Alamos and on a family hay farm in Villanueva, N.M. But his favorite aunt and cousins lived in Santa Fe, so he spent a good deal of time here during his childhood. Lucero also lived here in the 1990s after finishing art school. Ultimately, he went back to get an MFA at The University of New Mexico and taught as an adjunct professor there. But the big art career he imagined wasn’t materializing, and though he loved teaching, it wasn’t paying the bills. He got a job at the nonprofit coffee bar at UNM Children’s Hospital, and after two years of earning minimum wage, decided to try the coffee business on his own. Tathagata — a Sanskrit word (pronounced taTAgata) with many meanings and translated on the menu as “World Honored One” — is Lucero’s latest experiment. He waxes as philosophical about coffee as a sommelier about wine. “I have a freakish interest in coffee, the nuances of it,” he concedes. His relationship with his roaster is evidence. “This genius roasts my coffee,” Lucero says. “He’s a Central American guy who grew up in the coffee fields and really knows coffee.” Lucero opens a bag of Costa Rican beans and pours a pile into a tiny oval china bowl. “Look at these babies!” he exclaims. Tathagata took over a light-filled commercial space in the Village Center that was once occupied by another coffee business, so it was easier than usual to get the cafe underway, Lucero said. It opened Aug. 25. The place still doesn’t have a sign (though four artists have promised to deliver one) and so far isn’t exactly overrun with “guests,” as he calls them. But a steady stream of people populates the cafe most mornings, some taking advantage of the pastries, bagels, steamed “Barista Eggs” or oatmeal on the breakfast menu. Lucero also offers his own Meaning of Life Chocolate Nugs, creamy treats solidified in ice trays in the freezer. Of course it’s the coffee that really attracts visitors. Lucero makes his brews slowly — almost languidly — with great attention to the process. He preheats the bowlsized cups with steamed water, grinds fresh beans for each cup and shakes spices with a flair. “There’s this incredibly intimate magic thing, when you make a drink for someone and they drink it,” he says. The process is personal, an exchange of energy, a connection. “It’s like an ancient tea ceremony. The point is the sharing and construction of this perfect thing.” Lucero’s “perfect things” are spelled out on a brown Kraft-paper menu written messily in black marker and stuck to the wall with blue 3M tape. It features all the usual coffee drinks plus his specialties, including the Paleo Espresso. Concocted of coffee, coconut oil and butter, the drink was named by “fitness gurus” who are regular guests. Lucero’s seasonal Autumn Latte includes honey, clove, nutmeg, car-

In brief Green Owl Café closes its doors The Green Owl Café, 1698 St. Michael’s Drive at Llano Street, has closed. Forrest Thomas of Thomas Properties said the business owner closed for personal reasons, and the 2,000-square-foot space is now listed for lease. The Green Owl was popular for its coffee and pastries but also lunchtime sandwiches. Thomas said the space is restaurant ready but would need a hood or grease trap installed for a full-service menu. He said the commercial leasing market is stronger than a year ago and many businesses are looking to upgrade locations, but there are not a lot of new tenants looking to

have to speed up his process to meet demand. For right now, however, he’s focused on being present, neither coming nor going, another interpretation of the word tathagata. Several people have told him he needs to rename the cafe to something simple — maybe “Trevor’s Place.” But the buddhas of ancient times called themselves tathagatas, he explains. “The name is to inspire me to behave that way.” Tathagata is open 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. seven days a week, and though he is training some helpers, right now Lucero is practicing embodying tathtagata in the cafe every day.

This season of giving, be on alert for scams T
he holiday season is ripe for giving, and that’s all the more reason individuals need to be mindful of scams. One scam reported earlier in the year was still active as of last week, according to a reader who received a phone call from someone claiming to be a lieutenant from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office. The scammer told her she had failed to show up for jury duty and there was an active warrant out in her name. “The accumulated fees came to $1,286.51 which I would need to pay to clear the warrant. I was really annoyed but honestly didn’t realize it was a scam (he didn’t ask for a credit card number or anything), but I must have asked some question that wasn’t in his script and he hung up,” said the reader. The woman then reached out to the real sheriff’s department, which had already sent out an alert on the scam. Bruce Often the man directs vicKrasnow tims to purchase a cash card Business Matters and return his call with the pass code to void the arrest warrant. He then uses the code to obtain the money. The sheriff said recipients of these calls should contact the office at 986-2490. Other readers have called about the scam involving a fake computer technician from Microsoft or Comcast who says the company is aware of junk websites or technical problems on a computer and offers to fix them. And the IRS recently sent out new information that it has received 90,000 complaints about a scammer demanding payment of back taxes. Then there is the scam involving the “Do Not Call” list, where callers “are posing as representatives of the Federal Trade Commission or the registry with an offer to enroll a phone number or ‘confirm’ or ‘renew’ an existing listing,” according to AARP. “Their real intent: To collect money and/or personal information including Social Security numbers, which are not required for the registry. Also know that legitimate government employees don’t make phone calls to solicit new registrants or renew already listed numbers,” according to the AARP website. Beth Velasquez, associate state director for communications at AARP, said there is more of an effort to target senior citizens who were raised to answer telephone calls and provide information. “One thing we teach the older population is that it’s just OK to hang up on people, they don’t feel like they can do that,” she said. If possible, Velasquez urges people to get a name or phone number that the scammer is using and call AARP’s Fraud Watch Hotline: 877-9083360. Citing information from the Federal Trade Commission, Velasquez said New Mexico was 28th per capita for fraud and other complaints, and there were 1,448 cases of ID theft in the state in 2013 and 8,292 cases of faud. She added that more awareness and education about fraud is also destigmatizing the crime. “More people are reporting it; before it was more of a stigma,” she said.

Residential home sales in Santa Fe County for October showed a slight increase from last year, and it now looks like total sales for 2014 will climb for the fifth consecutive year, according to Alan Ball, who blogs about Santa Fe real estate trends. The month of October saw 173 residential sales — that’s not just up from 165 a year ago but the best October since 2006, when 183 sales closed. So far this year, the combined city-county market has seen 1,724 closed sales, that’s a 3.7 percent climb from the same 10 months of 2013. “The numbers are a little bit better, and how can that be a bad thing? One can wish for more, for bigger faster better stronger, but lets be thankful for a positive number instead of a negative number right now, ” he writes on the blog — www.santaferealestateconsultant.com. The biggest headwind toward real price appreciation is inventory, Ball said, and the market is still seeing a lot of foreclosed homes and short sales. There are also a lot of outdated listings that have been recycling through the market at lower and lower prices. “What is concerning to the writer is the shopworn and picked over inventory of homes that have been on and off the market over the last 5 years. We have too much inventory, but much of it is ‘hard to sell,’ ” Ball writes. The last two months of the year have been pretty decent months for sales in Santa Fe County; that is especially true at the high end of the market, as buyers who first saw several homes during the summer season make a purchase decision. With lower interest rates and a higher stock market boosting personal wealth, that will no doubt be the case at the end of 2014 as well. Contact Bruce Krasnow at brucek@sfnewmexican. com.

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: LANL officials downplayed waste’s dangers even after leak, Nov. 16 Nuclear weapons are a huge extortion racket that has cost more than $7 trillion to this point and is ongoing. We can’t discuss meaningful ways to end this extortion, in good part because our senators, and those of other states with nuke establishments, block such discussion. The fact that we can’t have the discussion shows that it is a racket run by our military industrial complex, one of its largest rackets.” C.M. We tried to get people to ‘wake up to WIPP’ when the Department of Energy was having hearings. Only the ignorant and greedy would ignore the very large possibility of human error and in this case, outright lapse of responsibility. Only now do the people at Carlsbad, who were so eager to have WIPP located there for the jobs, get it that WIPP is not safe.” S.B. The treatment processes used were illegal as well as dangerous. Shipping the waste was illegal. Providing the fallacious manifest that accompanied the drums was illegal. Failing to provide accurate information after the fact when the [New Mexico Environment Department] asks for it was and is illegal. [Los Alamos National Security] maintains that years of illegal actions resulted from a ‘typo.’ Right.” G.M.

Leland’s mother gets 9 years for role in boy’s death, Nov. 13 ‘She has suffered as much as anyone over the death of her son.’ The audacity of her attorney, Jeff Buckles, to make this statement. I would think her son, Leland, would beg to differ. We now know there are people in this world who are willing to look the other way where the lives of children are concerned and what the price of that child’s life is worth. Pathetic.” J.T.

City Council agrees to renew lease for homeless shelter, Nov. 12 I’m sure that Councilor Patti Bushee is all for helping the homeless. Especially because the city agreed that the shelter should be operated in a ‘commercial space that is away from the Plaza and Railyard.’ Basically, all that is left at that point is the south side of Santa Fe, which Bushee does not represent. Funny how this city’s leadership is always concerned with the impact charitable activities will have on the downtown area, but turn a blind eye to the impact these activities are having on the south side of town. Guess they don’t want the homeless to be around the tourist areas, so the southside residents must deal with panhandling every time they stop by a grocery or convenience store, and watch the homeless population roam our neighborhoods throughout the week. Pathetic representation from our south-side city councilors.” D.M. It must be nice for city councilors to be able to help the homeless at the expense of neighborhoods in which the councilors don’t live.” P.K. Great news. Thanks, City Council, for doing the right thing.” C.M. Great news. I do have one question, though. Why are homeless people kicked out of the shelter every morning, often in subfreezing temperatures? They are not allowed to return until later in the afternoon. It is often bitterly cold. What are they supposed to do?” D.S.

Santa Fe police continue to file pot citations under state law, Nov. 10 As a general rule, it’s probably a good idea to only do one illegal thing at a time. If you’re gonna drive around in a car with an illegal window tint or with an illegally loud muffler, don’t do it while in possession of drugs.” P.K. Guess they have not caught up with the spirit of the law yet and only the letter of it. Someone needs to step up to the plate and clarify the difference, or the insane so-called War on Drugs will continue to do its damage.” J.H. This guy was smoking while driving around? Lucky he just got a paraphernalia citation. Sounds more like DUI to me. I’m all for recreational use of weed, but just like alcohol, if you do it behind the wheel, you belong in jail and should lose your license. Lowering the priority on marijuana and paraphernalia possession is great — in fact, I say decriminalize it completely — but don’t you dare lower the priority on DUI.” B.G.

Space tourism diverts needed resources
W
e have all heard about the crash of a “spaceship” (so-called) owned by the company Virgin Galactic, which seeks to make a profit on “space tourism.” Spending hundreds of millions of dollars to fund Virgin Galactic and a “spaceport” in New Mexico so wealthy people who have $200,000 to get them into suborbit and feel weightlessness was a tremendous waste of money. Tragically, one person was killed and another seriously injured in the crash. And far more tragically, millions of people continue to suffer and die from malnutrition and lack of access to health care around the world. That’s not even mentioning lack of proper shelter and even education for millions more people. Considering such suffering, was there anything better and more meaningful that money could have been spent on? Furthermore, in the face of climate change, increasing the amount of CO2 that is pumped into the atmosphere, including by suborbital tourism for the wealthy, needs to be condemned. Virgin Galactic
was founded by the CEO of Virgin Airlines, Richard Branson. (A man whose ego is so big, apparently the Earth can no longer hold it.) There are many variables that go into determining how much CO2 a passenger airplane produces. One estimation boils it down to about 244 pounds of CO2 for each mile in the air. With tens of thousands of passenger flights every day, covering hundreds of thousands of miles, by the major airlines combined, perhaps Mr. Branson should be seeking to decrease his airline’s carbon footprint rather than increasing it with a scheme to make more money from those who, like him, have it to burn. I love the idea of space travel. Undoubtedly, one day mankind will master space and time, opening the universe to travel. However, we first need to share the finite resources of the planet in such a way that all people can live dignified lives, knowing both freedom and justice — socially, economically and environmentally. And we need to create a society that no longer produces waste, including pollution, in its
manufacturing and travel. Then humanity can safely and harmlessly go forward into space as brothers and sisters of one family that spans nations, cultures, colors, creeds and beliefs. In the meantime, space travel should be reserved for astronauts and scientists who risk their lives to learn more about the universe in which we live. Space travel should not be for the idle and “entitled” rich. Such people all too easily ignore the suffering of their brothers and sisters as they waste their money on down-to-earth expenditures like expensive cars, multiple homes, private planes, boats and world travel. Now we are going to open space to their whims and fancy. Finding meaning in helping those in need and purpose in life through service are far more laudable endeavors and use of one’s time and money. In the meantime, if it is “weightlessness” they want to experience, try bungee jumping. Jason Francis is a college student in Clarksburg, Mass.

Award to governor diminishes honor
I
n honoring Gov. Susana Martinez with this year’s University of New Mexico Presidential Award of Distinction, UNM President Bob Frank cites her “critical contributions to the health and well-being of New Mexicans.” Specifically, the governor is being recognized for her efforts to expand health care coverage under federal guidelines. Essentially this is for working with the Legislature to establish the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange and for helping to expand Medicaid. I beg your pardon. The health insurance exchanges were mandated by the Affordable Care Act, which Martinez does not support. There was no choice. Never mind that two years later the state health insurance exchange is not fully functioning. Martinez did not help expand Medicaid. The Medicaid expansion was set up as a federal program to increase the number of people qualifying for Medicaid. In fact, the first three years are 100 percent federally funded. Martinez had no role in supporting the expansion. All she did was sign off on accepting the federal money to pay for it. Awarding the UNM Presidential Award of Distinction to Martinez only serves to diminish the integrity of the award itself and to raise questions about the selection process. Jeffrey Paul

Save wolves Only 83 Mexican gray wolves are left in the wild. I think that makes them worth fighting for. We need to save the lobos of the Southwest. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should designate reintroduced wild Mexican gray wolves as essential. We are the ones who came into their land, took away their freedom and
expected them to stand aside as their homes were taken away and destroyed. Killing, trapping and removal of these critically endangered Mexican wolves are unacceptable practices and won’t contribute to the species’ recovery. Recovery cannot exist in captivity alone. I realize that most think they are just animals, but I think they are much more than that. They are God’s creation, his handiwork, and many people don’t care about their survival. I urge all Americans to help support these endangered animals.
sermon experience, but in a different context. In November 1989, I delivered a sermon to a Burley tobacco farming church in Kentucky, and got defrocked against the church constitution the next Sunday. However, the church conference leaders quickly conducted an official meeting and reinstated me, but under the mandate that the local church leaders, not the mayor, receive and read my sermons prior to delivering. I refused to accept their “censorship” offer. “Tobacco kills” was my unprecedented sermon.

Essential protection Wolves disappeared in the late 1800s and early 1900s because of a federal extermination program. I guess this was what
remained of hatred of “the big bad wolf,” the monster that eats little girls and was a problem to cowboys. But now, things have changed and, hopefully, that archaic and cruel point of view should end. Government and the public are more aware of what big predators mean. Not monsters, not a real danger to humans, but a highly intelligent, social and powerful symbol of the state and country. A possible wolf in the area is the opportunity to have a fresh start and, somehow, “undo” the horrendous mistake that an extermination always is. If this is a wolf, his protection, on the long term, has to be the highest priority. Like every wolf is important to the recovery of the species, continued federal protection for gray wolves is essential. Valerie Pecquet

Mexicans and ‘gabachos:’ So much in common Dear Mexican: Why do Mexicans and that opposites not only attract, but they’re gabachos resemble each other so much? frequently dos sides of the same coin — Both are very conservative about sex, mar- ying and yang! You compared gabachos riage and family. Both are very Christian, and Mexicans pero good; scholars have either Catholic or Protestant. also given the same treatment to Both keep similar attitudes the Aztec and Spanish conquistoward immigrants. Both are tadors, both religious empires very patriotic or nationalistic. that played tribes off each other Both deal with the same social to make it easier to beat them, issues like high rates of sexual that liked to kill and enslave and domestic abuse, alcoholtheir enemies, that practiced ism and homosexuality.

Dear Mexican: Why do Mexicans love to warm up their cars every morning? Cars only have to be warmed up if they have carburetors, and carburetors haven’t been part of cars since the 1980s! Think of it this way: While idling, your car is getting zero
miles per gallon. Don’t let the engine run at idle for any longer than necessary. After starting the car in the morning, begin driving right away; don’t let it sit and warm up for several minutes. An engine actually warms up faster while driving. With most gasoline engines, it’s more efficient to turn off the engine rather than idle for 30 seconds or longer. Think about going into a fast-food restaurant rather than waiting in a long line for the drive-thru window. Fuel Injection Phil Dear Gabacho: The only cars that matter are cars with carburetors. Think of it this way: Mexicans learn to drive from their dads. Their dads learned how to drive during the 1970s and before, when carburetors were king. It follows, then, that Mexicans even in the present day will turn on the car and let it warm up for a couple of minutes, damn the fuel economy. Traditions for us last long after they’re useful — we still put bull stickers on our trucks!

The West’s oldest newspaper, founded 1849 Robin M. Martin Owner
COMMENTARY: CHARLES M. BLOW
Could the government break down?
T
his could be a rather heated winter. All three branches of government are on course to collide over partisan politics, constitutional authority and scope of power, particularly as vested in the executive branch. President Barack Obama has wasted no time moving beyond the Democrats’ midterm defeats. He is setting about ensuring his legacy. His advisers say he feels liberated by not having to worry about any more congressional elections. He has secured a historic climate change agreement with China that John Boehner called part of the president’s “job-crushing policies” and his “crusade against affordable, reliable energy.” The president went further Saturday, signaling that he will soon announce “that the United States will contribute $3 billion to a new international fund intended to help the world’s poorest countries address the effects of climate change,” according to The New York Times. Obama has also called on the Federal Communications Commission to adopt netneutrality rules that Ted Cruz called “Obamacare for the Internet.” But the tipping point will likely come when the president takes executive actions on immigration, which, according to reports, could protect up to 5 million unauthorized immigrants from deportation. Republicans are beside themselves at the prospect. Amnesty! Out-and-out lawlessness! Shredding the Constitution! No claim — and no recourse — is out of bounds, it seems. Many conservatives, like Rush Limbaugh, are demanding another government shutdown to stop it. Others, like Charles Krauthammer, have suggested that Obama’s actions on immigration might be “an impeachable offense. The grown-ups on the right — to the degree such people

exist — know full well that shutdowns and impeachment proceedings are suicidal, but such is the political blood lust on that end of the spectrum that one can’t be sure that cooler heads will prevail over hot ones. Short of those two nearly nuclear options, Boehner is reportedly considering suing the president over his planned action on immigration. This is what the GOP base wants: a fight. According to last week’s report from the Pew Research Center, Republicans, by a margin of more than 2 to 1, want Republicans leaders to “stand up to Obama, even if less gets done in Washington,” as if it were possible for this do-nothing Congress to do less. Congressional Republicans have been sent to Washington with a mandate not so much to conduct business but rather to collect a bounty, to do as they promised and what their supporters expect: Stop Obama at any cost and at every turn, to erase his name or at least put an asterisk by it. If the speaker should file such a suit, it could drag the Supreme Court into this partisan drama. But it seems the court isn’t waiting for that. It has already
thrust itself into the partisan fray by, to the surprise of many, taking up yet another challenge to the Affordable Care Act. This one, like the last, could prove fatal to the law. It centers on the question of whether people who signed up through the federal exchanges are eligible for subsidies or if those subsidies are only available to people signing up through exchanges set up by states, something many Republican-led states refused to do. Some have called this ambiguity little more than a typo in a voluminous bill. Linda Greenhouse, my Times colleague and expert interpreter of all things Supreme Court, called the decision to take the case “worse” than the court’s ruling on Bush v. Gore, as well as “profoundly depressing,” and suggested that the court is beginning to look evermore like “just a collection of politicians in robes.” But the typo defense is complicated by the comments of an architect of the law, Jonathan Gruber, a health economist. In 2012, he said, “If you’re a state and you don’t set up an exchange, that means your citizens don’t get their tax credits.” This suggested that the clause was no accident, or at least one he
and others found fortuitous. While these battles may offer some ephemeral partisan gain — mostly for Republicans — they will suppress support for all three branches of government and further diminish public faith in the efficacy of government as a whole. According to a June poll by Gallup, “Americans’ confidence in all three branches of the U.S. government has fallen, reaching record lows for the Supreme Court (30 percent) and Congress (7 percent), and a six-year low for the presidency (29 percent).” While the blood sport of these clashes is likely to enthrall pundits and policy wonks, I fear that it won’t be good for the republic — particularly Democrats. Liberal ideology depends on a productive federal government; conservatism rises when that government is crippled. Republicans, in all their cynicism, are increasing their efforts to break the government. Isn’t America great? Charles M. Blow is The New York Times’ visual Op-Ed columnist. He lives in Brooklyn.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Police seem to choose the laws to enforce
R
egarding the story, (“Police continue to file pot citations under State law,” Nov. 11) — how did police become a law unto themselves? They sound totally comfortable disregarding the will of the community and picking the laws they enforce depending on their own personal opinions. Who signs their paychecks, anyway? The quote in your article by spokeswoman Celina Espinoza, especially with regard to the president, reeks of the kind of police arrogance that results in the “us against them” mentality and unnecessary violence. Who signs her paycheck and what’s her job description? Robert Kirby

Free food In response to the opinion piece (“We’ve been around, but who knows us?” Nov. 9), we would like to correct a statement made in the column. The Food Depot, Northern New Mexico’s food bank provides food to more than 145 partner agencies in nine counties. A small portion of the food we distribute has a handling fee to offset the cost we incur bringing food in from out-
side the state. The Food Depot also offers agencies food through a co-op plan at wholesale prices, which allows us to continue purchasing this food for a consistent supply. This gives agencies a chance to access food not consistently donated to the food bank. Most of the food bank’s distribution — more than 80 percent of the food — is provided at no cost. At no time are hungry New Mexicans charged for food. It is always free. Sherry F. Hooper
executive director The Food Depot Santa Fe
Creative solutions? Your article (“Report calls for costly changes in recycling and trash services,” Aug. 5) about Santa Fe’s plan to make the city’s waste department more efficient has annoyed me for months. Any red-blooded capitalist could have advised the city, for free, that it can do better by raising prices and reducing staff. The only reason to hire an expensive business consultant to write a report to that effect is to undermine citizens like me who might say the decision was not wellconsidered.

A new direction? The voters have spoken — the country was going in the wrong direction. The U.S. adds 200,000 jobs a month; unemployment falls below 6 percent; GNP one of the best in developed world; corporate profits at record high; dollar is strong; stock market reaches record high; gas prices falling; no inflation; interest rates lowest in 20 years; oil imports declining and oil production rapidly rising; deficit in rapid decline; rate of annual increases in health insurance premiums lowest in a decade. Obviously, we’re headed in the wrong direction, and all in the face of the lowest voter turnout in 72 years. I trust the Republicans will turn us around. Dennis Jung
fter years of debate, the U.S. Senate likely will vote today on whether the Keystone XL pipeline should be built. We hope Democrats, in their last weeks of majority party rule, hold fast and vote no. Barring that, President Barack Obama should follow through and veto legislation greenlighting the project. Right now, it appears there are 59 votes in favor, which is a majority, but not the 60 votes needed to pass most legislation under the Senate’s convoluted rules. All 45 Republicans favor construction, so 15 Democrats must change their votes. The drive to approve the pipeline is being led by Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, who is facing an uphill battle to win her runoff contest and re-election next month. The House of Representatives approved the pipeline bill last week, a measure sponsored by Landrieu’s opponent for the Senate seat, U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy. Despite Landrieu trying to show how she can deliver energy jobs for Louisiana, polls reveal she is lagging behind Cassidy. The bill being considered would authorize building the final phase of a transcontinental pipeline so that Canadian tar-sands oil can be sent to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, with more than 800,000 barrels per day of oil eventually moving through environmentally sensitive regions. For the Rosebud Sioux, pipeline approval would be akin to an act of war. Spills, leaks and other damage are likely, not to mention the destruction caused by construction and the unappealing reality that tar-sands oil burns dirtier than other types. For Democrats, supposedly more dedicated to helping reduce carbon emissions, approving this pipeline waters down the message. President Obama is exactly right when he says the pipeline would allow Canada to “pump their oil, send it through our land, down to the Gulf, where it will be sold everywhere else.” Come January, when Republicans are in the majority, the bill likely will pass and be sent to the president. (He still should hold fast and veto it, because a two-thirds override majority is never easy to put together.) Building the pipeline is bad for the environment, both at home and globally. Say no to Keystone XL.
The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 18, 1914: War news headlines: Turks fire on Yankee Bluejackets; May drag United States into war. Cruiser Tennessee or launch shot at from Ottoman forts at Smyrna; Officials waiting for explanation from Sublime Porte . Villa to drive out Carranza — over 5,000 British sailors lost in the war — Allies’ warships shell German troop trains. Nov. 18, 1964: State Revenue Commissioner Charles Brunacini was meeting with legal advisers today to see how far back the bureau can go in hitting up state income tax evaders for back taxes. Brunacini said Tuesday an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 New Mexico taxpayers face action by the bureau in a crackdown to get the back taxes into the state’s treasury. Nov. 18, 1989: Work could begin next year on a $210 million plutonium-processing and weapons-research complex at Los Alamos National Laboratory that officials say is the largest construction project in the lab’s history. In late September, President (George H.W.) Bush signed into law a bill that gave the lab $44 million to begin construction of the Special Nuclear Materials Research and Development Laboratory. The law passed through Congress with no fanfare.

ara Satterfield hadn’t planned to conduct experiments at the Texas State Fair, but that is where her study subjects showed up last month. She was still in Georgia when they arrived, so she hurriedly packed her car, then drove all night. As she pulled into the fairgrounds in Dallas the next morning, they were feasting on nectar-filled blossoms of frostweed alongside the Wild West Pet Palooza. The hungry travelers, like most monarch butterflies that migrate from breeding grounds in the northern United States and southern Canada, had stopped in Texas to consume enough calories to power the last leg of their flight to the oyamel fir forests of central Mexico and survive five months overwintering there. So many monarchs blanketed the frostweed that Satterfield, a 27-year-old doctoral student at the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia, allowed herself to hope that one of the world’s most celebrated migrations could be revived. Less than 20 years ago, a billion butterflies from east of the Rocky Mountains reached the oyamel firs, and more than a million western monarchs migrated to the California coast to winter among its firs and eucalypts. Since then, the numbers have dropped by more than 90 percent, hitting a record low in Mexico last year after a three-year tailspin. Sonia Altizer, a disease ecologist at Georgia, fears that well-meaning efforts by butterfly lovers may be contributing to the monarch’s plight. In recent years amateur conservationists have sought to replenish drastic declines in milkweed, the only plant female monarchs lay eggs on. But the most widely available milkweed for planting, the scientists say, is an exotic species called tropical milkweed — not the native species. That may lead to unseasonal breeding, putting monarchs at higher risk of disease.
Monarchs returning from Mexico reach the Southeast soon after native milkweeds appear in spring, producing the first of up to three generations that breed on new milkweed through summer. When the perennials start dying back in the fall, a final generation of butterflies typically emerges in a sexually immature state. Rather than reproduce when food is scarce and caterpillars might freeze, they fly to Mexico, to wait out the winter. Nearly 60 percent of native Midwestern milkweeds vanished between 1999 and 2009, the biologists Karen Oberhauser and John Pleasants reported in 2012 in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity. The loss coincided with increased applications of the weedkiller Roundup. Meanwhile, monarch reproduction in the Midwest dropped more than 80 percent, as did populations in Mexico. With the loss of native milkweeds that die in the fall, monarchs are encountering tropical milkweeds that are still thriving. “There’s this huge groundswell of people planting tropical milkweed, and we don’t know what it’s doing to the butterflies,” said Francis X. Villablanca, a biology professor at California Polytechnic University. Altizer fears that when monarchs encounter lush foliage in the fall, they may become confused, start breeding and stop migrating. “It’s sad, because people think planting milkweed will help,” she said. Recent work by Oberhauser’s lab found that some migrating monarchs are laying eggs in the Southeast when they find tropical milkweed. Last December, Villablanca found breeding in overwintering sites in California. “We’re in shock by the number of monarchs that are laying eggs,” he said. The reports are worrisome because nonstop breeding can unleash a devastating parasite called OE, for Ophryocystis elektroscirrha. Adult monarchs infested with the parasite can carry millions of spores that contaminate milkweed and kill foraging caterpillars. Mildly infected monarchs often can’t fly or reproduce normally, and die early.

Bill Cosby
The Associated Press
New allegations of sexual assaults are placing the actor/comedian’s legacy at risk.
NEW YORK — After Bill Cosby settled a civil lawsuit in 2006 alleging that he’d repeatedly sexually assaulted a woman, his image as America’s dad may have been temporarily tarnished, but was far from destroyed. But in recent weeks, as allegations of other sexual assaults have taken hold in published reports and on social media, his rock-solid persona seems in danger of permanent erosion. “It’s not like, if you have goodwill, you can borrow against that,” says Eric B. Dezenhall, a Washington-based crisis management consultant. “And if your goal is to get everybody to un-remember what they just heard — well, that’s just not doable.” Cosby, 77, has never been charged with a crime and so far has steadfastly refused to address the uproar. He’s granted few in-person interviews to media. And an attempt to put out the fire with a positive social media buzz backfired, generating criticism rather than praise. There is no sign that his silent treatment — outside of a statement from his attorney Sunday characterizing the accusations as “discredited” — will placate the accusers
or outlast their demands that he answer to their claims. His staunchest fans have dismissed the assault accusations that have dogged him for years while they overlooked his admissions of marital infidelity. For them, his image remains snugly aligned with that of Cliff Huxtable, the gentle, all-knowing husband and father he played on The Cosby Show as a champion of family values who, 20 years earlier, broke TV’s color barrier with his 1960s series I Spy. But that image could hurt now more than help, even placing his legacy at risk. “We love the concept of hypocrisy, whether it’s true or not,” says Dezenhall, who recently published the book Glass Jaw — A Manifesto for Defending Fragile Reputations in an Age of Instant Scandal. “We love learning that somebody in reality may be the opposite of what they seem. … The squeakier-clean your reputation, the more the public embraces these stories.”
For older Cosby fans, Cosby undisputedly is “a venerated figure who stands for education and achievement and common sense,” says NPR television critic Eric Deggans, who has reported on the accusations. “But there’s an entire generation for whom his projects are distant memories with distant impact. And in later years, he has gone around demanding that poor black people pull themselves up by their bootstraps, get their house in order.” Cosby’s blunt call for personal responsibility has often stigmatized him in young eyes not as America’s dad but as America’s cranky granddad “taking aim at youth culture,” Deggans says. It was this sort of attitude that may have prompted standup comedian Hannibal Buress to take aim at Cosby last month. Buress mocked Cosby, chiding the audience to “pull your pants up, black people, I was on TV in the ’80s,” and labeling Cosby “a rapist.” The sequence was captured on video and may have served as a major flashpoint. Barbara Bowman, who since 2006 has publicly accused Cosby of sexually assaulting her, gave Buress credit for bringing her words new urgency in a Nov. 13 WashingtonPost.com column, whose headline asked, “Why did it take 30 years for people to believe my story?”

Painkiller probe ‘long way from complete’ By Jim Litke
A football sits near the pylon marking the end zone. Federal drug enforcement agents showed up unannounced Sunday to check at least five visiting teams’ medical staffs as part of an investigation into former players’ claims that teams mishandled prescription drugs. There were no arrests, a Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman said.
The Associated Press
The five NFL road teams whose medical staffs were interviewed and subjected to spot checks of their bags by federal agents may turn out to be just the first five in line. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Rusty Payne said that teams were chosen for inspection simply because they were playing away from home. They were the San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Cincinnati Bengals, Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions. No arrests were made and the DEA declined to comment whether any potential violations of the federal controlled substances act — the stated reason for the inspections — were discovered. But Payne also noted Sunday that investigators from the agency “are currently

interviewing NFL team doctors in several locations,” suggesting the federal probe begun this summer into possible drug prescription abuse in the league could involve all 32 teams. Although the NFL said in a statement “we have no information to indicate that irregularities were found,” and the Tampa Bay Bucs breezily characterized the spot-check as a “5-minute delay” on Twitter, at least one former federal prosecutor called the inspections “a big step forward.” “When someone from the government — even without a warrant — walks up and asks questions, they get answers and you can test those answers,” said Steven Feldman, a former assistant U.S. Attorney for New York’s southern district with considerable experience in narcotics prosecutions.

Lobos head to Puerto Rico, get break from Pit pressure By Will Webber The New Mexican
ALBUQUERQUE — Even the home team can use the occasional break from one of the best homecourt advantages in all of college basketball. The University of New Mexico will get that chance this week when it jets three time zones to the east for the Puerto Rico Tip-off, an eightteam, four-day made-for-TV tournament that begins Thursday at Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan. The Lobos (2-0) will face Boston College on Thursday afternoon, then either George Mason or West Virginia the following day. Also in the field is defending national champion UConn and last year’s surprise Elite Eight entrant, Dayton. Rounding out the field is Texas A&M and Charleston. The championship will be on Sunday and every one of the 12 games will be shown on the ESPN family of networks. The UNM-Boston College game will air at 3 p.m. on ESPN2. For the Lobos, getting out of town is just what the doctor ordered. The pressure of playing at home can be overwhelming at times. “We’re going to be a lot more relaxed and Puerto Rico’s going to be a lot of fun, too,” said UNM guard Hugh Greenwood. “A lot of challenging games, the competition will step

NASHVILLE, Tenn. his time, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat their struggling opponent. Ben Roethlisberger and Le’Veon Bell were an impressive duo in Music City on Monday night. Roethlisberger threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown with 9:01 left, lifting the Steelers to a 27-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Pittsburgh (7-4) staged an impressive rally in the second half to take sole possession of second in the

successful AFC North heading into the bye. Bell ran for 204 yards — an NFL high for a single game this season — and a TD. William Gay returned an interception 28 yards for a score, and Shaun Suisham kicked two field goals. “Not a perfect night but really a great night for us in that we were down by 11, and we had an opportunity to bounce back,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin said. “And I think anytime you can do that and gain victory you grow from it and grow from it in the right ways.” Bell had 33 carries in the best game by a Steelers running back since 2010. “When 26 gets the ball in his hands you never know what’s going to happen, and it’s awesome,” Roethlisberger said. Roethlisberger had never beaten the Titans at
LP Field, missing the Steelers’ win here in 2010. With Bell running through and over the Titans, the Steelers took the pressure off Big Ben by holding the ball for 39 minutes, 49 seconds with a 386-312 edge in total offense. “He got rolling, and we couldn’t make a play and that’s disappointing,” Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said. “That’s the way it went. We tried a lot of different things to try to stop their run game.” The Titans (2-8) blew a 24-13 lead in their fourth consecutive loss. They sacked Roethlisberger five times and intercepted a pass in the end zone. Zach Mettenberger threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns, and fellow rookie Bishop Sankey ran for another score.

Melvin Gordon will have to wait until next month to learn if he’s the third Heisman Trophy winner in Wisconsin’s history. The Badgers’ running back, however, all but secured his invitation to New York for the presentation ceremony with his record 408-yard rushing performance in a 59-24 win over Nebraska on Saturday. Gordon, who leads the country with 1,909 yards rushing for the season, eclipsed the former single-game Football Bowl Subdivision mark of 406 yards by TCU running back LaDanian Tomlinson with his 25-carry effort. Tomlinson’s mark had stood since 1999. “I didn’t even know I was close to a record like that,” Gordon said. “I was just kind of running away.” Running away, indeed.

Heyward to Cards, Braves get Miller By Paul Newberry The Associated Press
ATLANTA — Jason Heyward stirred up enormous expectations when he joined the Atlanta Braves at age 20. He homered in his first big league at-bat. He was voted to the AllStar Game as a rookie. He was hailed as the future of the game by Hank Aaron. Heyward never quite lived up to the hype, and now he’s heading to a team looking to bounce back from tragedy. Concerned that Heyward would leave as a free agent after next season and rebuilding with an eye toward their new stadium, the Braves dealt their right fielder and reliever Jordan Walden to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday for promising pitcher Shelby Miller and a minor-leaguer. “It’s very difficult to trade Jason Heyward,” said John Hart, the Braves’ new general manager. “But the deal was made to help us not only in the short term but the long term.” The NL Central champion Cardinals felt compelled to pursue Heyward after top prospect Oscar Taveras was killed

in a car crash last month in the Dominican Republic. The team hopes to sign Heyward to a long-term extension but didn’t want to go into next season without adding to the offense. “The reality is we have to move on,” St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. Heyward said he was not surprised by the trade, especially since there were never any serious talks on a new deal with the Braves. He is due to make $7.8 million in the final season of a two-year contract. “This is a business,” said the 25-year-old Heyward, who grew up in the Atlanta area and was one of the team’s most popular players. “I was definitely open to long term, but that conversation never took place.” The deal signals a long-term
strategy for rebuilding the roster by the time the Braves move into their new suburban ballpark in 2017. By trading Heyward and Walden, the team shed what could have been as much as $10 million from next season’s payroll while acquiring a 24-year-old pitcher who is not yet eligible for arbitration and can’t become a free agent until after the 2018 season. “We want to build something that’s going to sustain,” Hart said. After his promising rookie year, Heyward was plagued by injuries and struggled to put up the sort of power numbers that the Braves expected. He’s had only one season with at least 20 homers and 80 RBIs; this past year, he batted .271 with 11 homers, 58 RBIs and 20 stolen bases, though he did win his second Gold Glove. Heyward frequently batted leadoff for the Braves, which the Cardinals believe hurt his power production. After the Braves slumped to their first losing season since 2008, general manager Frank Wren was fired. Hart took over and is looking to build depth
throughout the organization, with a focus on starting pitching. Atlanta is hampered by bad contracts, which will limit Hart’s flexibility in the short term. B.J. Upton is owed more than $46 million over the next three years, and the Braves are still responsible for the final $13 million of Dan Uggla’s deal, even though he was released this past season. An anemic offense was the biggest problem as the team collapsed down the stretch, but Hart didn’t sound overly optimistic about addressing those needs. “Some guys are going to have to have better years,” he said. “You can’t go out and replace your entire club.” For now, it looks like catcher Evan Gattis will move to left field, clearing the way for 23-year-old Christian Bethancourt to take over behind the plate, with slugger Justin Upton moving over to replace Heyward in right. Then again, both Gattis and the younger Upton have been mentioned prominently in trade speculation.

PREP SCORES Below are our scores from last week’s middle school basketball games between Pojoaque and McCurdy:
7th grade girls Pojoaque 29, McCurdy 17. Leading Scorers: Pojoaque, Ashten Martinez 9. Records:
Lobos: The Pit intimidating, even to UNM Continued from Page B-1 up — but I think guys look forward to [it]. Obviously guys like playing in The Pit, don’t get me wrong. But it’s a lot of pressure to play here.” Since The Pit opened in 1966, nearly 13 million fans have shown up to watch the Lobos win 689 of the 842 games played in there. Home attendance has averaged 15,424 in that span — approximately 95 percent of capacity. Even in the so-called lifeless environments that recent home dates against Idaho State and Cal State Fullerton provided, the feeling of floating on the floor with the cascading crowd noise is beyond explanation. UNM head coach Craig Neal likes to remind anyone who will listen that the journey through the narrow tunnel that leads from the locker-room area down to the arena’s floor is often described as a seminal moment for any player or coach. That’s true for the home team, too. “It’s not easy going down that ramp, guys,” he said. “It’s not easy, even when
you’re the home team.” The same thing that makes The Pit so scary, Greenwood said, is the very reason it’s a challenge to the Lobos each and every time out. “I still get way more nervous for home games than I do on the road,” he said. “I feel on the road I’m a completely different player. There’s so much pressure when you play in The Pit. You play in front of all these fans and there’s such an expectation. It’s one of the most feared places to play so it’s really nerve-wracking. New guys coming in, they feel that pressure too.” The Lobos will play 15 regular season home games on top of the two exhibitions they played earlier this month. They have had at least 15 games in The Pit every year since it opened, losing two or fewer games in their in six of the last seven seasons. The noise can be deafening, and since the bench seating drops all the way to floor level on all sides, it makes for an intimate setting that is unlike almost any other in college basketball. The building, Neal said, is his program’s biggest recruiter.
“That’s why they come here,” he said. “Our guys come here because of our fans, because of our facilities that we provide. And because it’s legendary; the tradition of this place, and this building’s legendary. For me to sit up here and say it’s not, that’d be wrong. So, there’s also pressure being the home team walking down there for these players.” Now in his fourth season with UNM, Greenwood said the experience of playing in The Pit can be numbing for any Lobo — be it a fifth-year senior or an 18-year-old freshman. Even though Neal said some players never really do get used to the fishbowl effect that The Pit provides, it does make for going on the road almost a relief. He said his players will be more relaxed in Puerto Rico than they are at home. “But they’re going to get over it and I’m excited for them to play here,” he said. “They’re going to get there. And our fans are going to like our guys because we’re always going to play hard, we’re always going to compete, and we’re going to represent them as good as we can.”
Hockey: Some angry over delay for Burns Continued from Page B-1 recently how she and her husband used to laugh so much at home. She couldn’t help but laugh that night when a video montage of Burns’ best and angriest coaching moments were shown on the video screens at Air Canada Centre. Those included him winning the Stanley Cup with the New Jersey Devils, yelling at referees and going after Barry Melrose. “I’m sure it wasn’t fun at that time,” Line said, “but it was hilarious.” Burns went into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday night along with Dominik Hasek, Peter Forsberg, Mike Modano, Rob Blake and referee Bill McCreary. Blake is best remembered in Northern New Mexico as being part of the original ownership
group that purchased a franchise in the North American Hockey League and moved it to Santa Fe about a decade ago. That team, the Santa Fe RoadRunners, was co-owned by Blake and several NHL headliners. Burns’ son, Jason, had specific instructions from his father on how to deliver the Hall speech. Pat Burns told his son to thank Charlie Henry, Wayne Gretzky and the organizations he coached for and their fans. Pat Burns didn’t dwell on not making it even as he was dying of cancer. “I remember him saying, ‘Cheer Up Jason, I’ll get in there someday probably. You better have a good speech ready because you’re the one going up there for me,’ ” Jason Burns said Monday night. “Here I am with big shoes to fill.”
There was some quiet anger that the selection committee didn’t get it done before Burns died of cancer on Nov. 19, 2010. But more than anything else there was relief and joy that the coach received his due. “In addition to being a great coach, he was widely respected throughout the hockey world for being a terrific person,” Commissioner Gary Bettman said Monday. “It’s nice to see somebody like Pat recognized and having his legacy preserved.” Davidson has been on the committee for many years but was serving as chairman for the first time. He said the process is different every year. “You have different people that vote for different reasons,” he said. “I don’t want to go and think about the past and what happened or didn’t happen. He’s in, he deserves to be in
and his wife and his family are ecstatic and that’s just the way it should be.” Burns clearly had a résumé that merited induction. After 17 years as a police officer in Gatineau, Quebec, he led the Hull Olympiques to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League title and coached in the American Hockey League before making his way to the NHL. There, in 14 seasons he won the Jack Adams as coach of the year three times — with the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins. “Pat Burns was the best coach I had during my career in the National Hockey League,” said Mats Sundin, a Hall of Fame center. “He meant everything for me as I came to the Maple Leafs and also became the captain, too. He really taught me everything.”

Gordon: Topped the 200-yard mark in four games this season Continued from Page B-1 San Jose State in 1997. For good measure, Gordon added 170 yards in the third quarter. u Gordon has now topped the 200-yard mark in four games this season and five times in his career. Dayne is the only other Badger to run for at least 200 yards in a game four times in a season, doing so five times in both 1996 and 1999. “How about this guy? He’s the best of the best,” Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said of Gordon. It’s hard to argue with Andersen after Saturday. Some other notable statistics from
yet another wild weekend of upsets and amazing performances across college football: Kiel’s return: Cincinnati quarterback Gunner Kiel healed up just fine during the bye week, thank you very much. The former Notre Dame quarterback, who has battled a rib injury for much of the season, threw for a career-high 436 yards in the Bearcats’ 54-46 win on Thursday night. The sophomore was only able to throw one pass before leaving with his injury in Cincinnati’s last game on Oct. 31, but he returned to complete 29 of 44 passes for four touchdowns in leading the Bearcats to their fourth straight win. Sharpe catches: Massachusetts
junior Tajae Sharpe had the top receiving performance of the week, catching 13 passes for 239 yards in a 24-10 win over Ball State. It was the third time the wide receiver has tied the school record with 13 catches in a game, a mark he shares with Victor Cruz, JJ Moore and Brandon London. Sharpe is fourth nationally with an average of 120.4 yards receiving per game this season, and he now has 2,090 yards for his career. Sack master: Utah defensive end Nate Orchard’s season-long disruption of opposing offenses continued in the Utes double-overtime win over Stanford. Orchard had 3½ sacks in the win, including a key one in the second overtime to force the Cardinal into a long
field goal attempt. The senior is now tied with Washington’s Hau’oli Kikaha for the national lead with 16½ sacks this season. Extra points: Gordon was joined in the 300-yard rushing club this week by Western Kentucky’s Leon Allen (345 yards) and Indiana’s Tevin Coleman (307 yards). … Western Michigan quarterback Zach Terrell had the most efficient performance of the week, finishing 17-of-19 passing for 357 yards and four touchdowns in a 51-7 win over Eastern Michigan. … Texas State linebacker David Mayo leads the country with an average of 14.1 tackles per game. … If Saturday was the end of Todd Gurley’s collegiate career before he heads to the NFL, following the torn
ACL in his left knee, the junior finishes with 3,285 yards rushing in three seasons. Hogs fined: The University of Arkansas is being fined $25,000 because fans ran onto the field after the Razorbacks’ 17-0 win over LSU. Saturday’s win in Fayetteville snapped a 17-game losing streak in Southeastern Conference games by Arkansas. SEC policy allows only players, coaches, support personnel and properly credentialed persons in the field area. SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said that fans celebrating a win is understood, but that fans going onto the field creates a risk of injury for both players and the fans.

Broncos share in blame, vow to get better Denver suffers costly loss to St. Louis By Arnie Stapleton The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Ty Lawson scored 24 points, Arron Afflalo added 23 and the Nuggets 106 struggling Cavaliers 97 Denver Nuggets ended Cleveland’s four-game winning streak with a 106-97 victory over the Cavaliers on Monday night. Denver took the lead for good early in the third quarter and was up by as many as 14 midway through the fourth. LeBron James, who missed the morning shootaround because of a cold, led Cleveland with 22 points. The Nuggets limped into the game having lost seven of eight and were coming off Sunday’s defeat at New York in which they made one field goal in the second quarter. Denver looked like a different team Monday, placing five players in double figures. Leading 90-84, the Nuggets scored eight straight points and went ahead 98-84 on Lawson’s layup with 6:01 to play. GRIZZLIES 119, ROCKETS 93 In Memphis, Tenn., Mike Conley scored 19 points, and the Grizzlies easily defeated Houston in a matchup of the teams with the NBA’s two best records. Whatever showdown was expected from two 9-1 teams and among the best defensive squads in the league never materialized as the Grizzlies took a 16-point lead in the first quarter and extended it in each of the remaining periods, until it reached 36 points in the fourth frame. Seven players finished in double figures for Memphis, which won its fourth straight overall. Courtney Lee had 15 points, and Zach Randolph added 14. SPURS 100, 76ERS 75 In San Antonio, Texas, Matt Bonner had 18 points, and the Spurs’ Big Three got some rest as San Antonio handed Philadelphia its 10th straight loss to open the season. Tim Duncan had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Kawhi Leonard had five points and 11 rebounds in limited action. Cory Joseph added 14 points for the defending NBA champions, who never trailed. Duncan played 16 minutes and Tony Parker 18. Both sat out the entire fourth quarter after playing just 5 minutes in the third. MAVERICKS 107, HORNETS 80 In Charlotte, N.C., Monta Ellis scored 18 points, Chandler Parsons had 17 and Dallas defeated Charlotte for its fourth straight victory. Dirk Nowitzki had 13 points to become the fourth player in NBA history to eclipse 27,000 with one franchise, joining a prestigious group that includes current Hornets owner Michael Jordan, Karl Malone
and Kobe Bryant. The Mavericks came in leading the NBA in scoring, averaging more than 109 points. Charlotte offered little resistance as Dallas routinely scored on uncontested alley-oops, dunks, layups and 3-pointers. HEAT 95, NETS 83 In New York, Mario Chalmers scored 22 points, Chris Bosh ended his shooting slump and added 15 points and nine rebounds, and Miami snapped a threegame losing streak by beating Brooklyn. With Dwyane Wade out for a third straight game due to a strained left hamstring, Chalmers remained in the starting lineup for the second consecutive night and keyed the finishing spurt for the Heat. He converted a three-point play, added another free throw and then set up Bosh for a 3-pointer that turned a four-point lead into a 91-80 advantage with 1:23 left. Bosh finished 5 for 11 after shooting 12 for 49 during the losing streak, including 2 for 17 in a loss to Milwaukee on Sunday. SUNS 118, CELTICS 114 In Boston, Markieff Morris scored a career-high 30 points and Eric Bledsoe had a key steal and breakaway dunk in the closing minute to lift Phoenix over the Celtics. Goran Dragic had 22 points, Alex Len scored 19 with seven rebounds and Bledsoe finished with 15 points and seven assists for the Suns, who lost their previous two games. Jeff Green led Boston with 28 points, and Jared Sullinger had 18 points with eight rebounds. Rajon Rondo fell one assist shy of a triple-double with 14 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. MAGIC 107, PISTONS 93 In Auburn Hills, Mich., Tobias Harris scored 14 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter as Orlando pulled away late to beat Detroit. Nikola Vucevic finished with 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Magic, who had all five starters in double figures. The Pistons, playing their fifth game in seven nights, were led by Caron Butler, who had 20 points, and Brandon Jennings, who scored 18. But their frontcourt trio of Josh Smith, Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe combined for only 25 points on 10-of-28 shooting. TRAIL BLAZERS 102, PELICANS 93 In Portland, Ore., Damian Lillard scored 24 points, including a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:14 left, and the Trail Blazers rallied for a victory over New Orleans. LaMarcus Aldridge, back after missing one game with an illness, had 22 points and nine rebounds to help the Blazers win their fifth straight. Anthony Davis had 31 points and 11 rebounds for the Pelicans, who couldn’t hold a 16-point, third-quarter lead.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Suddenly, the Denver Broncos have a whole lot more to worry about than their spongy offensive line, and testy coach John Fox said Monday he wants frustrated fans to know he feels their pain. “We’re not too happy with the results, either,” Fox said in the wake of Denver’s second double-digit road loss in three weeks. But, he added: “There’s no panic inside the building.” And he stressed that Denver’s latest loss can’t just be pinned on his scuffling, shuffling O-line, either. “Offensively we didn’t execute enough,” Fox said. “It’s not all on the O-line. I want to make that point.” The Broncos’ latest loss, a 22-7 stunner at St. Louis, proved extra costly. They not only fell into a tie atop the AFC West with Kansas City, but they lost Julius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Montee Ball to injuries. Thomas’ sprained left ankle was deemed less serious than feared, and he is day to day. Sanders is in the league’s concussion protocol and a long shot to play in Sunday’s showdown against Miami (6-4). And Ball appears headed for more time off after aggravating a strained right groin in his first action since Oct. 5. The three were injured when the Broncos (7-3) lost to a sub.500 team on the road for the first time since Tim Tebow was their quarterback in 2011. Just as he had after a big loss at New England three weeks ago, Peyton Manning took the blame. “I’ve got to play better,”

Manning said three times after Sunday’s loss. On Monday, Fox said he and his staff have to coach better. This marked just the sixth time in Manning’s 250 career regular-season games that his team scored seven points of less. Two of those came in the first month of his rookie season in 1998, two came in meaningless regular-season finales (1999 and 2009), and another came in 2001, at Miami. Manning was sacked twice, knocked down four times and watched a dozen of his passes get batted down. He threw 54 passes and handed off just nine times, a formula Fox admitted wasn’t a good recipe. “There’s no doubt that to be the kind of team we want to be we have to run the ball more,” Fox said. Center Will Montgomery smiled at the thought. “Yeah, I think we definitely
prefer running the ball versus trying to backpedal with those athletes for that many snaps,” he said. “We’d like to take the fight to them.” C.J. Anderson said offensive coordinator Adam Gase apologized for the run-pass disparity, but the running back noted it was the players who didn’t make it work, and “whether it’s 90 passes and one run, whatever’s called, you’ve just got to go out there and execute.” In addition to the run-pass ratio that was off-kilter, Fox lamented his offense failing to reach the red zone after entering the game with the league’s second-highest scoring average (31.8). Fox defended his decisions to forgo long field goal tries, saying Brandon McManus’ range was only 50 yards inside the dome. He stressed, “It has nothing to do with confidence level of anybody.”
McManus has been dealing with a strained groin and that might have been a factor in Fox’s thinking. But the Broncos went 0 for 3 on fourth downs in Rams territory. “We did what I would consider being aggressive,” said Fox, who’s been labeled as a coach who’s too conservative. “You could punt for field position. You know, going for it on fourth down is in my mind more aggressive than kicking a field goal.” NOTES u Practice squad QB Zac Dysert left the team Monday to be with his family after getting word that his mother, Carla Dysert, 56, had been killed in an auto accident in his hometown of Ada, Ohio. u Champ Bailey will sign a 1-day contract Tuesday so he can retire a Bronco.
Probe: Sparked by former players’ lawsuit Continued from Page B-1 “They’re either going to tell the truth or lie, and you can use either one in an investigation. Having worked with DEA investigators in the past, it’s just one more step. My guess,” he added, “is that this one is a long way from being complete.” In response to questions Monday from Associated Press reporters, nine teams said no one in their organization, including medical staff, had been contacted by investigators from the DEA. Here’s several things to know as the investigation going forward:
Why go public with the investigation now? The probe was sparked by a lawsuit filed in May on behalf of 500 former players who claimed they were routinely — and often illegally — given powerful narcotics and other drugs such as Vicodin and Oxycontin to mask pain and keep them on the playing field. Over the last several weeks, investigators criss-crossed the country to interview at least a half-dozen former players — including at least two who were named plaintiffs in the painkillers lawsuit, according to multiple people with direct knowledge of the meetings who spoke on the condition of anonymity because prosecutors told them not to comment on the meetings. “To me,” said Feldman, “the timing suggests they’re looking for someone who can provide a narrative of what went on inside
the locker rooms. They have some of that from the players … but to expand it, they need someone on the other side. Someone who can be squeezed, who acknowledged giving out pills, or who can say whether it was a policy higher up the organization. … So team doctors and trainers are certainly one place to go looking.”
What were the DEA investigators looking for? The federal controlled substances act stipulates that only doctors and nurse practitioners can dispense prescription drugs, and only in states where they are licensed. The act also lays out stringent requirements for acquiring, record-keeping, labeling, storing and transporting drugs. Trainers who are not licensed would be in violation of the law simply by carrying a controlled substance. The lawsuit contends some teams filled out prescriptions in players’ names without their knowledge or consent, and that trainers often dispensed those drugs “like candy at Halloween,” along with combining them in “cocktails.” But proper documentation for any controlled substances found in possession of the medical staff may not have been the sole reason for the inspections. Agents occasionally leak information about an inspection or raid to set up with what’s known as a “time-date stamp,” and later subpoena any electronic communication between parties that are under investigation, a practice Feldman is familiar with.
“We called it ‘tickling the wire’ when I was a prosecutor,” Feldman said, “because at the time, email wasn’t as prevalent and we went after the communications between parties with wiretaps. So it sounds quite plausible in this case.”
Did any teams object to the staff inspections? Most barely noticed. “Right after a big game like that, there’s a lot of sleeping going on,” Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith said Monday. “So I caught most of it. I don’t know, a few minutes. Fifteen minutes or so. I don’t really know how long.” San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said he didn’t hear from or even see the DEA officials, only learning there was an inspection of his team’s staff when he “read about it.” But he didn’t sound worried either way. “We’re an open book in those regards,” Harbaugh said. “Any kind of scrutiny, any kind of questions, we’re an open book there.” The most interesting response may have come from the Cincinnati Bengals, who were spot-checked in New Orleans. After agent Debbie Weber, a spokeswoman for the DEA’s New Orleans office pronounced the team was in compliance, the team added in a statement: “The Bengals have never had any issues regarding prescriptions/controlled substances.” “Any issues which might be present elsewhere are not present with our organization,” the statement said.
Steelers: Titans on 3rd QB since January Continued from Page B-1 quarter. When Pittsburgh got the ball back with 6:58 left, the Steelers didn’t give it back and knelt out for the win. “We feel very close,” Mettenberger said. “We’re not doing enough to win football games. That’s the bottom line and the most important thing. But rookie running back, rookie left tackle, rookie quarterback, rookie middle linebacker. We’re doing a lot of good things.” Mettenberger and the Titans got off to an awful start, and then erased a 10-0 deficit with an impressive flurry. Suisham had a 49-yarder for the first score of the game, and Gay picked off Mettenberger on the Titans’ first offensive play and returned it for the TD. Roethlisberger had been intercepted only five times this
season. But Jason McCourty picked off a pass intended for Brown in the end zone with 44 seconds left in the first half. The Titans called timeout, and then Mettenberger threw to a wide-open Nate Washington, who beat Gay with a stutterstep on his way to a career-best 80-yard touchdown reception. Washington, who won two Super Bowl rings in Pittsburgh, wagged his finger at the crowd once he got to the 25. “That’s unacceptable,” Tomlin said. “We’ve got to be better than that.” Mettenberger added a 4-yard TD pass to Chase Coffman in the third quarter, capping an 11-play drive for a 24-13 lead. The Steelers responded with Bell’s 5-yard TD run on the first play of the fourth, and Roethlisberger’s TD to Brown was enough for the win. Brown had
nine receptions for 91 yards in another solid performance. Two of Pittsburgh’s losses this season have come against Tampa Bay and the Jets, teams with a combined four wins, and Tomlin is 1-8 all-time against teams with a winning percentage of .200 or worse. Former Titans veteran Mike Munchak coached the Steelers’ offensive line in his first game in his NFL career against the franchise he spent 32 seasons with as a Hall of Fame offensive lineman and coach. The Titans let Munchak go in January after going 22-26 in three seasons as head coach, and Munchak’s offensive line opened big holes for Bell. “I was just able to get to the second level and make a couple of guys miss, keep my feet moving and try to get first downs and hold on to the ball,” Bell
said. “That’s all I was thinking about.” Whisenhunt, who won a Super Bowl ring as offensive coordinator with Pittsburgh, took over the Titans in January, trying to turn around a franchise that last won a playoff game in January 2004. Whisenhunt already is on his third quarterback in Tennessee in Mettenberger. It was the coldest game at LP Field with the temperature at kickoff at 25 degrees. NOTES u Steelers rookie WR Martavis Bryant lost his streak of consecutive games with a TD catch at four. u The 16-degree wind chill at kickoff was the second coldest at LP Field to when it was 14 degrees Christmas night against Dallas in 2000.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Nov. 18, the 322nd day of 2014. There are 43 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Nov. 18, 1964, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover described civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as “the most notorious liar in the country” for allegedly accusing FBI agents in Georgia of failing to act on complaints filed by blacks; King, who denied making such a claim, replied, “I cannot conceive of Mr. Hoover making a statement like this without being under extreme pressure.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might want to run away from several people in your life who are adding only chaos to various situations. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You could be tired of pushing so hard to get to the bottom of a problem. A friend is likely to add his or her two cents. Tonight: Make the most of the moment. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your emotional nature will permit you to launch into action and handle a domestic problem. Tonight: At home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be taken aback by a situation that forces you to deal with a unique issue. Try not to get involved. Tonight: Out and about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Buy a little token of affection for someone in your daily life. This person probably needs to feel valued. Tonight: Keep it intimate.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Depressed son must want help Dear Annie: My son is 25 years old with a college degree and an excellent job. The sad thing is, he is depressed. He won’t go for treatment. He goes to work, comes home and sits in front of his computer. I have spoken to professionals myself, but they all say the same thing: He is an adult and must get help on his own. But he doesn’t think he is sick. Meanwhile, he complains that he can’t find a girlfriend, while his friends are all in relationships or married. If we suggest he join a group, he won’t leave his room. He says he’ll end his life. We are so worried about him. He is our only child. We are totally lost and don’t know what to do. Could you please help us? — Sad Mother Dear Sad: This is so difficult for a parent to deal with. The doctors are right that your son must want their assistance. You can listen to him, show compassion and let him know that a professional is trained to help him sort through his feelings. In the meantime, please phone the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (suicidepreventionhotline.org). Someone there can help you. Dear Annie: I have the responsibility of watching over two older relatives when they are no longer capable of taking care of themselves. Right now, I spend a great deal of time in their company, and it’s not a problem. So what is? This couple likes to drop in uninvited to social events (especially when food is served). They recently attended a wedding because they wanted to be part of the bride’s special day. Should I tell them that they are behaving in a way that is improper and impolite, or should I just let them socialize while they are still able? — Embarrassed Dear Embarrassed: If you are not currently the caregiver for this couple, and they can manage on their own, this is not yet your problem. Please don’t treat them as if they are incompetent, even though, yes, they are behaving inappropriately. They’d hardly be
the first ones to crash a wedding. However, if you believe they no longer understand what constitutes appropriate behavior, you should let them know and then suggest they make an appointment with their doctor. Dear Annie: I read the recent letter from “Being Prepared,” the woman who had no spouse, no children, no church and no close friends. She had cared for her mother and wondered who was going to care for her. May I make an additional suggestion? I live in Arizona, where a lot of people have retired but their children are not here. Often they lose a spouse and are on their own. I have become a campaigner to make sure my friends and neighbors provide one another with pertinent information. I have given the names and phone numbers of my family members in other states to several neighbors. I have talked about the fact that if my garbage doesn’t go out one week, they should check on me. I let them know when I am going to be traveling. I also include the names of my pets and their vet, contact information for my doctor, and a copy of the card that shows I am giving a whole-body donation at my death. Also, our fire department provides (at no charge) a File of Life, where all of this information, as well as medical information, is listed and hung on the refrigerator. My doctor provides advance directives at no charge, and they are perfectly legal. It’s not necessary to spend a fortune on attorneys, unless, of course, you have a fortune. I encourage everyone to make their plans known. Even if you write it out in your own hand, it gives the authorities some direction. — M.D. Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Expect to be busy, and you won’t be disappointed. Make it your pleasure, as long as you have time. Tonight: Out on the town with friends. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Your ability to take a stand and command a situation with ease marks your personality. Recognize that your priorities will define your limitations. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

Tonight: Around good music. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH A partner will push you beyond your limits. You might need to take a stand to let this person know that you have reached your boiling point. Tonight: Make nice. Jacqueline Bigar
