‘Jimson Weed’ goes for $44.4M, sets record for work by female artist
President, daring Congress, uses executive power to protect 5M
By Anne Constable The New Mexican
It took about eight minutes for a Sotheby’s auctioneer to bring down the hammer Thursday morning on Georgia O’Keeffe’s Jimson Weed/ White Flower No. 1. Seven bidders — identities unknown — participated in the auction, two by phone. Watching from a private box overlooking the auction room was Robert Kret, director of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, which was selling three of the artist’s works to raise funds for acquisitions to fill gaps in its own collection. He was joined by the museum’s director of curatorial affairs, Cody Hartley, a couple of trustees and friends. They were giddy with excitement as the bidders raised the selling price to $20 million, then $30 million. Paintings had been bringing good prices at auction in the previous two weeks, Kret pointed out.

bother her, she said. “I’m already used to living without any papers,” said Márquez, who came from Mexico 10 years ago. Her husband and 25- and 27-yearold sons also lack U.S. citizenship. “I feel comfortable now. I work, I travel, I can drive and I have my own [house-cleaning] business.” Carlos Martinez, a former Santa Fe County commissioner, said when he heard in the news that the Obama administration planned to protect millions of immigrants from deportation, he thought of a friend who works as a handyman at his home. The friend, originally from Mexico, has been in New Mexico for the past decade but lacks legal immigration status, Martinez said. The man’s wife cleans houses in Santa Fe and has three daughters, one of whom has a nursing degree, Martinez said.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama chose confrontation over conciliation Thursday as he asserted the powers of the Oval Office to reshape the nation’s immigration system and dared members of next year’s Republican-controlled Congress to reverse his actions on behalf of millions of immigrants. In an address to the nation from the East Room of the White House, Obama displayed years of frustration with congressional gridlock and a desire to frame the last years of his presidency with farreaching executive actions. The president’s directive will shield up to 5 million people from deportation and allow many to work legally, but it will not give them a path to citizenship. “The actions I’m taking are not only lawful, they’re the kinds of actions taken by every single Republican president and every Democratic president for the past half-century,” Obama said. “To those members of Congress who question my authority to make our immigration system work better, or question the wisdom of me acting where Congress has failed, I have one answer: Pass a bill.” Obama intends to underscore the schism between the parties on the issue of immigration during a campaign-like rally on Friday at a high school in Las Vegas, Nev.,

Mixed reaction to changes that leave out some By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

ven before President Barack Obama declared Thursday night that his administration could protect up to 5 million undocumented immigrants from deportation, local activists were gearing up to help thousands in New Mexico. The main beneficiaries are those who have been in the U.S. illegally for more than five years but whose children are citizens or lawful permanent residents. After passing background checks and paying fees, the White House said, they can be granted relief from the fear of deportation for three years and get work permits. The administration expects about 4.1 million of the nation’s estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants to qualify. Undocumented immigrants across the country, including an
estimated 70,000 in New Mexico, welcomed with mixed emotions the news that they could get a chance to legalize their status. Some recognized that not all of their loved ones would be able to qualify. “This is a good thing, but at the same time I feel saddened for the people who won’t qualify,” said Minerva Pacheco, 44, who has a 13-year-old son born in the U.S. and has lived in Santa Fe for 17 years without legal immigration status. She said she has brothers in the city who won’t qualify because they don’t have children who are U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents. Pacheco was attending a viewing of Obama’s live address Thursday at the Santa Fe County Democratic Party headquarters in Santa Fe. Leticia Márquez, who also attended the event, said based on the Obama administration’s criteria, she won’t qualify. But that doesn’t

The head of Los Alamos National Laboratory issued a memo to employees Monday condemning a story published Sunday in The New Mexican that exposed missteps at the lab that had played a part in a WIPP radiation leak. The story also addressed efforts to downplay the dangers of LANL transuranic waste that had been sent to the nuclear waste storage facility near Carlsbad. The newspaper’s investigation, which took six months and included interviews and a review of thousands of documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, found that LANL documents provided to Waste Isolation Pilot Plant officials and regulators about the waste drum’s contents failed to mention several components: organic kitty litter, the unusually high acidity of the waste and a pH neutralizer. Now, those components are being eyed as possible

Skyrocketing generic drug costs come under scrutiny in Senate By Matthew Perrone The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Some low-cost generic drugs that have helped restrain health care costs for decades are seeing unexpected price spikes of up to 8,000 percent, prompting a backlash from patients, pharmacists and now Washington lawmakers. A Senate panel met Thursday to scrutinize the recent, unexpected trend among generic medicines, which usually cost 30 percent to 80 percent less than their

branded counterparts. Experts said there are multiple, often unrelated, forces behind the price hikes, including drug ingredient shortages, industry consolidation and production slowdowns due to manufacturing problems. But the lawmakers convening Thursday’s hearing said the federal government needs to play a bigger role in restraining prices. “If generic drug prices continue to rise then we are going to have people all over this country who are sick and need medicine and who simply will not be able to buy the medicine

they need,” said Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging. Sanders is an independent who usually votes with the liberal wing of the Democratic party. Sanders introduced a bill that would require generic drugmakers to pay rebates to the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs when prices of their medications outpace inflation. Those payments are already mandatory for branded drugs, but have never applied to generics.

MIKE NICHOLS, 1931-2014
Master of talent and taste Nichols was only person to be a winner of Oscar, Tony, Emmy and Grammy awards By Jake Coyle The Associated Press
NEW YORK legend of film, theater and comedy in nearly equal measure, Mike Nichols was an unquestioned fixture of smart, urbane American culture across a relentlessly versatile, six-decade career that on stage or screen, reliably coursed with crackling intelligence. Nichols won nine Tonys, an Oscar, several Emmys and a Grammy. He made up the lanky half of his groundbreaking comic duo with Elaine May. As a director, he made countless performers — from Dustin Hoffman to Whoopi Goldberg — into stars. To consistent acclaim, he adapted Edward Albee, Neil Simon, Tony Kushner and Arthur Miller. Nichols, who died Wednesday night in New York at 83, was a supreme orchestrator of material, talent and taste. In films like The Graduate, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Carnal Knowledge, he left not a firm stamp of authorship. But with a dry wit and a classical eye, he choreographed caustic social commentaries of couples drunk with bitterness, bored with regret and apprehensive in flight. “I keep coming back to it, over and over: adultery and cheating,” Nichols, who was divorced three times before marrying ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in 1988, said last year. “It’s the most interesting problem in the theater. How else do you get Oedipus? That’s the first cheating in the theater.” The Berlin-born Nichols, whose Jewish family emigrated to the U.S. in 1939, lost his hair at age 4 from a reaction to an inoculation for whooping cough, and would wear wigs the rest of his life. He began as a stand-up, and comedy would remain the bedrock to his sensibility and sense of timing. Nichols and May developed their great improvisational rapport into a saucy, sophisticated stage show that took on sex, marriage, family and other subjects in a frank manner that titillated and startled audiences of the late 1950s and early ’60s.

His 1966 film directing debut, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, unforgettably captured the vicious yet sparkling and sly dialogue of Albee’s play, as a couple (Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor) torment each other over deep-seated guilt and resentment. Angels in America, the 2003 TV miniseries adapted from Kushner’s stage sensation, blended rich pathos and whimsy in its portrait of people coping with AIDS and looking to the heavens for compassion they found lacking in Ronald Reagan’s 1980s America. Similarly, Nichols’ 2001 TV adaptation of the play Wit packed biting levity within the stark story of a college professor dying of ovarian cancer. “I have never understood people dividing things into dramas and comedies,” said Nichols, who won directing Emmys for both Angels and Wit. “There are more laughs in Hamlet than many Broadway comedies.” On Broadway, he won Tonys for directing the plays Barefoot in the Park (1964), Luv and The Odd Couple (1965), Plaza Suite (1968), The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1972), The Real Thing (1984), and Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman (2012). “I think a director can make a play happen before your eyes so that you are part of it and it is part of you,” he said. “If you can get it right, there’s no mystery. It’s not about mystery. It’s not even mysterious. It’s about our lives.” His early stage work was highlighted by Barefoot in the Park, The Odd Couple, Plaza Suite and The Prisoner of Second Avenue, each of which earned him Tonys. Other honors included Oscar nominations for directing Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Silkwood and Working Girl; a best-picture nomination for producing The Remains of the Day; and a lifetime-achievement award from the Directors Guild of America in 2004. Nichols was first married to Chicago TV personality Patricia Scott. He and his second wife, Margo Callas, had a daughter, Daisy. With his third wife, novelist Annabel Davis-Goff, he had two children, Max and Jenny. He’s survived by his wife Sawyer, his three children and four grandchildren. At an AFI lifetime tribute to Nichols, his old comedy partner May told writers: “You really want Mike to direct your screenplay because you know that every shot and every costume and every piece of furniture and every shoe is going to tell your story, and never give it away.”
WASHINGTON — Former Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia announced a presidential exploratory committee late Wednesday, becoming the first candidate in either party to take such an overt step toward a White House bid. He called for economic justice and a restrained foreign policy, and vowed to “re-establish a transparent, functioning governmental system in our country.” Webb, a Democrat who served one term in the Senate, disclosed his intentions in a video and a four-page letter posted on a new website. In his statement, he acknowledged the great difficulty he would face seeking the nomination of a party that seems poised to support Hillary Rodham Clinton, if she decides to run. He made no mention of Clinton but hinted at some of their differences in an effort to appeal to the ascendant liberal wing of the Democratic Party.
Papal official tempers point about accused bishops VATICAN CITY — The head of Pope Francis’ commission to fight clerical sex abuse is tempering his remarks about accountability for bishops accused of covering up for abusive priests, saying they deserve a fair hearing, too. Cardinal Sean O’Malley, archbishop of Boston, told the 60 Minutes news program last week that the Vatican must “urgently” address the situation of Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn, the highestranking church official in the U.S. to be convicted of failing to take action in response to abuse allegations. “We need clear protocols,” he wrote Wednesday on thebostonpilot.com. “Bishops also deserve due process that allows them to have an opportunity for a fair hearing.”
Report: Global cost of obesity hits $2 trillion LONDON — The global cost of obesity has risen to $2 trillion annually — nearly as much as smoking or the combined impact of armed violence, war and terrorism, according to a new report released Thursday. The McKinsey Global Institute consulting firm’s report focused on the economics of obesity, putting it among the top three social programs generated by human beings. It puts its impact at 2.8 percent of global gross domestic product. “Obesity isn’t just a health issue,” one of the report’s authors, Richard Dobbs, said in a podcast. “But it’s a major economic and business challenge.”
Swedish court rejects appeal by Assange LONDON — A Swedish court on Thursday upheld a 4-year-old order for the detention of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, over accusations of sexual assault that inspired a lengthy legal battle before he took refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. Lawyers for Assange, 43, had sought to have the order withdrawn on the grounds that it could not be enforced while he was in the embassy, and they contended that it was restricting his civil rights. But the Swedish court rejected the legal argument. The ruling was a bitter defeat for Assange, an Australian who fled to the modest embassy in London’s upmarket Knightsbridge neighborhood two years ago, after Britain ordered his extradition to Sweden in February 2011.

In brief
FDA OKs new, nearly abuse-proof painkiller
WASHINGTON — Federal health regulators on Thursday approved the first hard-to-abuse version of the painkiller hydrocodone, offering an alternative to a similar medication that has been widely criticized for lacking such safeguards. The Food and Drug Administration approved Purdue Pharma’s Hysingla ER for patients with severe, round-the-clock pain that cannot be managed with other treatments. The once-a-day tablet is designed to thwart abuse via chewing, crushing, snorting or injecting. The FDA said the medication is difficult to crush, break or dissolve. Purdue Pharma’s new drug poses a direct commercial challenge to Zogenix’s much-debated drug Zohydro, a twice-a-day hydrocodone tablet approved by the FDA last year. Doctors prescribe opioids for a range of ailments, from post-surgical pain to arthritis and migraines. Deaths linked to abuse of the medications have quadrupled since 1990 to nearly 17,000 annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency’s approval of Zohydro last year prompted a wave of criticism from anti-addiction groups who said that the pill should have been reformulated to discourage abuse. The extended-release painkiller was the first FDA-approved pure form of hydrocodone, the most abused prescription drug in the country. Hydrocodone was only available in lowerdose combination pills like Vicodin. Initially, news of Purdue’s abuseresistant hydrocodone led to speculation that the FDA might remove Zogenix’s drug from the market, since it lacked anti-abuse features. But FDA officials said Thursday they plan to monitor rates of abuse and misuse with Zohydro and compare them to the new alternative. “Precisely because the approval of opioids is so controversial the FDA is bypassing its advisory committee meetings,” said Dr. Andrew Kolodny, a psychiatrist who specializes in addiction treatment and leads the group Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing. Kolodny also warned that Hysingla could potentially be more dangerous than Zohydro since the maximum dose per pill is 120 milligrams of hydrocodone, more than twice the dose contained in a 50-milligram pill of Zohydro. Drug abusers have developed various methods for unlocking the time-release formulations of prescription pain relievers and releasing the entire dose at once.

The featured films last year included Milk, the story of pioneering American gay politician Harvey Milk. The festival has been denounced by Vitaly Milonov, a St. Petersburg politician known for his anti-gay statements.
In comments carried by Rusnovosti news service, he called the event “socially unnecessary” and suggested that its sponsors be sanctioned. Milonov was the sponsor of a local anti-gay law in St. Petersburg that became the model for the national law signed by President Vladimir Putin last year. Josue has presented her film in several countries, but she said none of the others had a climate as hostile to gays as Russia. “We’ve been preaching to the choir,” she said. Matthew Shepard, at the time of his murder, was a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming. His death became a rallying cry for the U.S. gay-rights movement and was a factor in the passage of federal hatecrimes legislation in 2009. His parents formed a foundation named after their son to promote acceptance and civil-rights protections for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgen-
der people. In their role as activists, they have made numerous trips abroad in the past several years, many with support from the U.S. State Department. During their visit Matthew to Poland, a group Shepard of parents were so moved by the Shepards’ story that they founded a parental advocacy group, Akceptacja, to campaign against anti-gay bias. The Shepards hope for a similar response in Russia. As much as they hope to make an impact, the Shepards aren’t expecting rapid change in Russia. “Putin has made it so unhealthy to be LGBT or an ally,” Dennis Shepard said. “It will take at least a generation to clean up the mess he’s made and get some acceptance.”

Turkey has made targeting Assad a greater priority than going after the Islamic State. And it is a widespread view within Iraq that Turkey’s policies, such as allowing foreign fighters to transit its territory to fight in Syria, helped lead to the growth of ISIS. At the news conference, Davutoglu was challenged by an Iraqi journalist, who voiced the frequent charge that Turkey, through its open border policy, had allowed jihadists into Syria. “This is baseless,” Davutoglu said. Davutoglu’s visit Thursday came a week after a tentative agreement between Baghdad and officials in Erbil, the Kurdish capital, that restarted budget payments to the Kurds and allowed the Kurds to export some of their own oil. But a permanent deal does not appear imminent, and alAbadi stressed Thursday the

Obama’s decision has precedents, but may set new one By Julie Hirschfeld Davis The New York Times
President Barack Obama’s planned action to shield millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally from deportation and grant them work permits opens a new front in the decadeslong debate over the scope of presidential authority. Although Obama is not breaking new ground by using executive powers to carve out a quasi-legal status for certain categories of unauthorized immigrants — Republican Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush all did so — his decision will affect as many as 5 million immigrants, far more than the actions of those presidents. Obama’s action is also a far more extensive reshaping of the nation’s immigration system. “The magnitude and the formality of it is arguably unprecedented,” said Peter J. Spiro, a Temple University law professor. “It’s fair to say that we have
never seen anything quite like this before in terms of the scale.” The breadth of Obama’s decision is already raising serious legal and constitutional questions, fueling Republican charges of imperial overreach and worries among some Democrats of future fallout. In an acknowledgment of the difficult questions of law and executive power Obama is raising with his action, the White House took the unusual step Thursday night of releasing the formal, 33-page Justice Department memo detailing the action’s legal underpinnings. Such internal legal opinions are seldom revealed to the public. The memo, White House officials and a broad array of legal experts assert that the president’s directive, announced Thursday night in a primetime address to the nation, rests on firm legal ground. As chief executive, they say, Obama has virtually unfettered “prosecutorial discretion” to decide when he will prosecute criminal infrac-
tions and when he will not. They also say that because Congress does not appropriate nearly enough money to deport all of the 11 million immigrants estimated to be living in the United States illegally, the president is obligated to choose whom he deports, so he cannot reasonably be accused of usurping lawmakers’ authority or failing to execute the law. “The key is that the president’s actions will still leave millions of undocumented immigrants to go after, and that will be with resources appropriated by Congress that still make barely a dent in the remaining population,” said Stephen H. Legomsky, a Washington University law school professor who was chief counsel of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services from 2011 to 2013. Still, some lawyers critical of Obama argue that by publicly grouping a large number of undocumented immigrants who are not subject to U.S. law and granting them a special status, the presi-
issue was not as polarizing at the time. “Back in the 1980s, immigration was controversial, but there was a bipartisan consensus that we had to reform immigration laws,” said Stephen W. YaleLoehr, who teaches immigration law at Cornell University. The announcement on Thursday was the latest presidential grant of deferred action, a concept in immigration law that was also the basis for Obama’s 2012 directive granting two-year deportation reprieves to immigrants without legal status who were younger than 30 and who had been brought to the United States as children and had graduated from high school or joined the military. The president’s new policy expands that 2012 order by removing the age limit and applying it to anyone brought to the United States as a child before 2010. But Obama declined to include the parents of those immigrants in Thursday’s directive, after administration lawyers concluded that doing so would exceed his authority.
Power: Decision riles GOP
Reaction: Activists plan local legal clinics
Continued from Page A-1
Continued from Page A-1 “They’re a family that deserves to stay here,” he said. “They’re a family who is good for this country.” The last sweeping immigration reform effort came under Republican President Ronald Reagan, who signed a bill allowing immigrants to apply for legalization. Experts estimate that nearly 2.7 million immigrants, out of the estimated 5 million undocumented immigrants at the time, received green cards — identification showing they are legal permanent residents — in 1986. In response to expectations about Obama’s announcement, Santa Fe activists have planned legal clinics to provide information about who can apply and how. For immigration attorneys, the event brought memories of the Obama administration’s announcement two years ago that certain young immigrants would be protected from deportation and could apply for work permits. Like the renewable program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the recent announcement comes as Congress has delayed action on immigration reform. Obama’s move angered many Republican lawmakers, who said the president should have continued to wait for Congress to pass an immigration bill. “President Obama’s decision to use executive powers to alter immigration policy for 5 million people is a gross abuse of power,” said New Mexico’s lone Republican in Congress, Rep. Steve Pearce, who represents Southern New Mexico. “The President is choosing to ignore the bounds of his constitutional powers and bypass Congress.” The Obama administration also is broadening his 2012 directive known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals for some young immigrants who entered the country illegally. Obama will expand eligibility to people who arrived in the U.S. as minors before 2010, instead of the current cutoff of 2007, and will lift the requirement that applicants be
dent has gone far beyond the limits of prosecutorial discretion and crossed the line into legislative fiat. “This action certainly looks a lot more like, ‘I’m changing the rules of the game,’ rather than ‘I’m just choosing not to exercise my discretion,’ and that runs counter to Congress’ power to decide what the law is,” said Shannen W. Coffin, a Justice Department lawyer under President George W. Bush who was counsel to Dick Cheney when Cheney was vice president. “It’s highly questionable as a constitutional matter.” As the chief executive, Coffin added, the president has a duty to enforce the law, and while declining to do so may not be unconstitutional in every case, “at some point when you’re doing it en masse, you’re doing something very damaging.” Previous presidents who used their executive authority to shield immigrants confronted little of the fury that Obama now faces, in part because their actions affected fewer people and the

under 31. The expansion is expected to affect about 300,000 people. Applications for the new deportation deferrals will begin in the spring. Those who qualify would be granted deportation deferrals for three years. “Right now we want to educate the community,” said Juan Carlos Deoses, an advocate with the New Mexico Dreamers in Action, an advocacy group in Santa Fe. He said his organization plans legal clinics to help Santa Fe immigrants navigate the new policy. A key point his organization wants to make is that this announcement doesn’t mean a direct line to U.S. citizenship, and it won’t cover every undocumented immigrant. The New Mexico Immigrant Law Center said it will launch a text-messaging system targeting immigrants around the state. The organization also will use Skype to assist immigrants living in rural areas. Meanwhile, the Santa Fe-based Somos Un Pueblo Unido said advocates will reach out to workers in the recently booming oil-producing areas in the southeastern part of the state. Christopher Ramirez, a graduate student at The University of New Mexico and an organizer for UNM Dream, said his organization wants to reach out to as many immigrants who could apply but either don’t have the economic resources to do so or lack information on how to be considered for the program. “Yes, there will be a process, but many in our community are afraid to ask for help, so our goal is to educate the community,” Ramirez said. In a Thursday night teleconference featuring Santa Fe government officials, City Councilor Carmichael
Dominguez said it’s important that city officials support advocates in educating the immigrant community. In 1999, the City Council declared Santa Fe a “sanctuary city” when it passed a resolution forbidding use of city resources in identifying and apprehending undocumented immigrants. Lawyers warned members of the immigrant community to exercise caution before paying anyone for legal services. Victoria Ferrara, who runs one of two Santa Fe law firms specializing in immigration law and has practiced immigration law for 30 years, warned that unscrupulous lawyers might try to take advantage of vulnerable immigrants desperate to legalize their status. She said people should stay calm and not go to the first lawyer who promises that they can apply under the new policy. “Because it’s their first experience with immigration, it’s important to have everything done really carefully,” Ferrara said. “We want them to do it right the first time so they’ll have a good experience.” Olsi Vrapi, an immigration lawyer in Santa Fe, said people “will have to hang tight” until an application is produced by immigration officials. In the past, Vrapi has had to decline services to people, and consequently they have turned to notarios — which means notary public in Spanish and in Latin America implies authorization to practice law. “Every time there’s a change in immigration law, notarios come out of the woodwork,” said Vrapi, who has practiced immigration law since 2003.

where Hispanics are a major voting bloc. The trip is part of a White House strategy to try to convince Americans that the president’s actions are legal and right. Immigration advocates plan to use that time to push for even more while Republicans are devising ways to defy the president and exercise their new authority. Conservative lawmakers accused the president of a gross abuse of authority and promised a legislative fight when they take full control of Congress next year. But even before Obama’s speech, Republicans appeared divided about how to stop him and unsure about how to express their anger without severely damaging their standing with Latinos. Obama’s actions will sharpen the focus of government enforcement on criminals and foreigners who pose security threats, vastly reducing the specter that many immigrants would be detained by federal agents. High-tech workers will have an easier time coming to the U.S., and security on the border will be increased. The centerpiece of the announcement is a new program for undocumented people who are the parents of U.S. citizens. Most of those people — estimated by officials to number slightly more than 4 million — would be eligible for a new legal status that would defer their deportations and allow them to work legally in the country. They must pass background checks and pay taxes, but they will get Social Security cards, officials said. An additional 1 million people will get protection from deportation through other parts of the president’s plan. How Republicans choose to proceed in their opposition to the president’s directive will shape the final two years of Obama’s tenure and could help set the tone of the 2016 presidential campaign. Several Republicans said Thursday that they wanted to use a forthcoming spending bill and the threat of a government shutdown as leverage against Obama, while others in the party reached for ways that Congress might undercut the president’s actions by withholding money or threatening other priorities. “If President Obama acts in defiance of the people and imposes his will on the country, Congress will act,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who will become Senate majority leader in January. “We’re considering a variety of options. But make no mistake. Make no mistake. When the newly elected representatives of the people take their seats, they will act.” Even as Republican lawyers analyzed what the White House said was the legal basis of Obama’s actions, it remained
unclear how they might undo them. The agency that will carry out most of the president’s executive actions, Citizenship and Immigration Services, is funded with application fees, and does not rely on a budget vote in Congress to keep operating. But accusations of a presidential abuse of power appear to have gained some traction in recent days, as a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll found just 38 percent support for Obama’s executive actions even as there is broad support for a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. In the poll, 48 percent said they oppose Obama’s actions. Even a few Democrats have expressed concern about the propriety of the president’s actions. White House aides said they are prepared to confront all of the accusations; one senior administration official said Thursday that dealing with Republicans on Capitol Hill was like participating in “a live-fire exercise.” Officials said that Obama’s actions would refocus federal agents on “deporting felons, not families” and they insisted that the move is consistent with powers that have been exercised by presidents in both parties for decades. Immigration advocates and the president’s Democratic allies hailed the president’s announcement even as they insisted that more should be done to provide legal protections for millions of undocumented immigrants unaffected by Obama’s directives. “Five million people will get to feel this country’s embrace,” said Lorella Praeli, the director of advocacy for United We Dream, a youth immigrant organization. “But I’m sad there are people who will be left out. For them in particular, I recommit to fight until we see the day that they are protected from deportation.” Other immigration advocates said they were pleasantly surprised by the scope of the changes. Deepak Bhargava, executive director of the Center for Community Change, called them “a massive breakthrough for the immigrant rights movement.” Critics of the president’s actions described them in equally sweeping terms. “President Obama today told millions of people, ‘If you broke our laws to enter this country, we will not prosecute you, we will not deport you.’ ” said Jenny Beth Martin, the president of the Tea Party Patriots. “This is a constitutional republic, not a banana republic. It’s time we all started acting like it.” House Speaker John A. Boehner echoed that theme in a video message before the president’s speech. “The president has said before that ‘he’s not king’ and he’s ‘not an emperor,’ but he’s sure acting like one,” Boehner said.
LANL: Emails contradict memo, show WIPP officials were upset Continued from Page A-1 factors in the chemical reaction that caused a LANL drum to burst, leading to the radiation leak. On Feb. 14, when the drum ruptured inside the underground storage facility, more than 20 workers were exposed to radiation. The plant has not reopened since, stranding thousands of barrels of waste from Cold War-era nuclear weapons production at national labs throughout the country. Fully reopening WIPP is expected to take up to five years and cost at least $550 million, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. “Over the weekend, many of you may have read a story in the Santa Fe New Mexican suggesting that Los Alamos National Laboratory was hiding scientific theories about the accident at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant,” lab Director Charles McMillan wrote in his memo sent to LANL employees just before 5 p.m. Monday. “I want to assure you that nothing is further from the truth.” According to McMillan’s statement, obtained by The New Mexican, he took aim at a portion of the newspaper
report about the lab’s delay in sharing a memo with WIPP personnel that likened the contents of the burst waste drum to explosives. The story reported that a May memo by LANL chemist Steve Clemmons asserted he had determined the waste in the drum that ruptured held the same components as three patented explosives. “The Lab was very open with the Department of Energy and the Carlsbad Field Office about hypotheses under evaluation, with daily discussions on all efforts to discover the cause of the breach and to ensure the safety and security of the remaining drums,” McMillan wrote in the memo to lab workers Monday. But emails that were the basis for the news report contradict McMillan’s memo. Those messages, colored at times by outrage from WIPP officials about what they weren’t told by LANL, show that despite daily briefings between WIPP and Los Alamos personnel about the ongoing investigations into the leak, a week passed before WIPP officials learned of Clemmons’ findings about the potentially explosive mixture in the waste.
Officials at WIPP became aware of Clemmons’ memo only after a Department of Energy employee at LANL leaked it to a colleague in Carlsbad, who then shared it with them. The discovery prompted decision-makers at WIPP to postpone a scheduled expedition by employees to collect specimens for scientific testing in the area where the drum burst. Don Hancock, director of the Nuclear Waste Safety program at a watchdog organization, the Southwest Research and Information Center, has read the string of emails about the May memo. He said the story the messages tell is clear: “The LANL people were not being truthful with WIPP and DOE folks in May,” Hancock said. “That’s a problem.” Greg Mello, executive director of the watchdog Los Alamos Study Group that monitors the lab, has read the emails and shares Hancock’s opinion that LANL was not as forthcoming with WIPP or the Energy Department as McMillan’s memo suggests. “The director is trying to protect the morale of the laboratory,” Mello said. “I think it’s wishful thinking. He says the
lab was open with the DOE and with WIPP. It wasn’t open, but perhaps by LANL standards it was. LANL openness standards are so opaque that secrecy is normal.” As reported Sunday in The New Mexican, the lab last week issued a statement that scientific experiments eliminated Clemmons’ findings as the cause of the radiation leak at WIPP. Other portions of McMillan’s message to lab employees supported findings from the news report. He acknowledged the lab had not accurately documented the contents of the waste drum that ruptured, and that the waste in the drum that burst had been processed at the lab. The addition of neutralizer was not authorized by a permit issued by the New Mexico Environment Department. McMillan’s memo made no mention of a theory discussed in emails that organic kitty litter had been added to the waste as an absorbent — rather than the inorganic clay kitty litter that previously had been used — because of a typographical error in a revision to a manual that instructs workers how to package waste at the lab.
“McMillan’s memo doesn’t mention that this mixture violated basic chemical common sense,” said Mello, a former state environmental inspector whose duties included observing activities at the lab. “Nobody should mix these things — period. You should never mix nitric acid and nitrate salts with any organic fuels.” Investigators have identified wheatbased kitty litter as a potential fuel in the chemical reaction that led to the radiation leak. The lab began using the organic variety in September 2012. The month before the switch, a new waste packaging policy that explicitly called for organic litter took effect at the lab. A waste handling expert at WIPP reported in an email to a colleague that a typographical error is believed to have resulted in the change. The lab has repeatedly refused to publicly say why it switched to organic kitty litter. The lab did not respond Thursday when asked why McMillan’s memo did not address the typo theory.

Generic: ‘The markets are broken,’ analyst tells panel of lawmakers Continued from Page A-1 Last month, Sanders and House Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., sent letters to the makers of 10 generic drugs that have seen price increases of over 300 percent or more in recent months. The price for one of those, the antibiotic doxycycline hyclate, rose more than 8,280 percent during a six-month period from $20 per bottle to $1,849 per bottle. The Generic Pharmaceutical Association said in a statement Thursday that the 10 drugs cited by lawmakers do not reflect the broader U.S. market, which includes 12,000 generic medications that have reduced drug costs by billions. But pharmaceutical experts testifying Thursday said the price spikes reflect broader price increases for generics, which have tradition-
ally fallen over time. An analysis of 280 common generic drugs by Professor Stephen Schondelmeyer found that roughly a third recorded prices increases in 2013. The University of Minnesota researcher said those numbers show that generic price increases are not limited to a few isolated cases. “The markets are broken and we need to do something to fix it,” he told the panel. “I think the government needs to step in and develop and monitor solutions.” Dr. Aaron Kesselheim of Harvard Medical School recommended several new government policies, including allowing the Food and Drug Administration to accelerate the clearance of generic drugs for which there are few manufacturers. He also said that federal officials should be notified of all drug price increases greater
than 100 percent. In previous cases where drug shortages have led to price spikes, FDA has approved emergency imports of extra supplies from foreign sources. The lower prices of generic drugs make them the first choice for both patients and insurers. Generic drugs account for roughly 85 percent of all medicines dispensed in the U.S., according to IMS Health. Typically, generic drug prices fall as more companies begin offering competing versions of the same drug. But recent examples suggest the market forces that have kept generic prices low are not working properly. The average price of albuterol sulfate, a common asthma treatment, shot from $11 per bottle in October 2013 to $434 per bottle in April, an increase of over
4,000 percent, according to data from the Healthcare Supply Chain Association cited by the Senate subcommittee. Thursday’s hearing followed requests for congressional action by the National Community Pharmacists Association, which says independent pharmacies are being squeezed by the price hikes. In some cases, pharmacists are losing money on drugs that are purchased at new sky-high prices but are still reimbursed at the older, lower rates by pharmacy benefit managers. “Community pharmacies are put in the untenable position of having to absorb the difference between the large sums of money that they spent to acquire the drugs and the lower amounts that they are paid,” said Rob Frankil, who testified on behalf of the pharmacist group.
Various prescription drugs sit on the automated pharmacy assembly line in June 2011 at Medco Health Solutions in Willingboro, N.J. Some low-cost generic drugs that have helped restrain health care costs for decades are seeing unexpected price spikes, prompting a backlash from patients, pharmacists and now Washington lawmakers.

“We hope that those gaps that exist — and they do exist — can be closed … We hope we can define the finish line.” Kerry’s meetings over the past few days included the foreign ministers of Oman — a frequent intermediary between Washington and Tehran — and Saudi Arabia, a key U.S.ally and one of Iran’s main regional rivals. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said it was unclear how long Kerry would remain in Vienna after holding discussions with the U.S. negotiating team. Other top officials have already noted the difficulty of reaching any kind of comprehensive accord by the deadline. British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said Wednesday he was “not optimistic” about a wide-ranging pact by Monday. “But I think if we make some significant movement we may be able to find a way of extending the deadline to allow us to get to the final deal if we’re making a good progress in the right direction,” he told reporters in Riga, Latvia. The spokesman for U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called on the negotiators to demonstrate “flexibility, wisdom and determination.”
Attacks in Kabul raise security concerns By Lynne O’Donnell and Amir Shah The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — The Afghan capital has become a city under siege as the Taliban stage almost daily attacks against government and foreign targets, penetrating layers of heightened security and fueling concerns that insurgents have infiltrated the security forces. Kabul is protected by a fortress-like “ring of steel,” with police and soldiers manning roadblocks and spotchecking vehicles. Streets around important buildings such as parliament, ministries and the presidential palace are blocked off, while others are protected by razor wire and concrete blast walls. But in recent weeks, insurgents have managed to attack two foreign compounds in Kabul, carry out a suicide bombing meters away from the office of the city’s police chief, sent suicide bombers against international military bases and convoys, and bombed the car of a prominent female parliamentarian. The police chief and the parliamentarian survived, but civilian casualties have been high. This year the Taliban has shown particular strength across the country, with Afghan security forces suffering record-high casualties after taking the lead in the war from international forces in mid-2013. The Haqqani network — which like the Taliban is based in neighboring Pakistan — has also escalated attacks characterized by deployment of suicide bombers. The decision by President Ashraf Ghani to sign a bilateral security agreement, or BSA, with Washington immediately after his September inauguration has prompted the escalation in attacks, according to analysts, diplomats and the Taliban themselves. The agreement, along with a Status of Forces agreement
with NATO, will keep around 12,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan after the U.S. and NATO withdraw combat forces at the end of the year. Waheed Mozhda, formerly a diplomat for the Taliban’s 1996-2001 administration and now a political analyst, said: “This war will continue for years and years because of the BSA.” “There are a lot of people inside the government cooperating with the insurgents because they are opposed to the BSA,” he said. Attacks have become so frequent that First Deputy President Abdul Rashid Dostum turned up at the site of a suicide attack on a foreign compound on Tuesday to accuse forces within the Afghan government of collusion with insurgents. He was expressing the concerns of many Kabul residents, who also accuse Pakistan of harboring the insurgents and using them as a means to preserve
influence in Afghanistan after the Western combat mission ends. “These attacks are part of an intelligence war with involvement of a foreign country,” said Gen. Mohammad Zahir, Kabul’s police chief, referring to Pakistan’s ISI intelligence service. Zahir narrowly escaped an assassination attempt earlier this month when a suicide bomber detonated his payload in the heart of the city’s heavilyguarded police headquarters in a major security breach. The complexity of the attacks — with gunmen, suicide bombers, explosives and intricate planning to gain access to high-security installations and prominent people — was evidence of the backing of “foreign intelligence,” he said. Analyst Antonio Giustozzi said the attacks were “sending political messages to Ghani, the Americans, the expatriate community and probably to those members of the Taliban that

might be interested in negotiating for peace.” The message, he said, is “this is jihad, we have to kick out the foreigners, the Americans, the crusaders and until that is achieved no compromise is possible.” Western diplomats and analysts have said Ghani’s efforts to broker a peace deal with the Taliban, with support from Saudi Arabia, China and Pakistan, will be met with intensified insurgent activity for at least another two years as the Taliban test his resolve. Mozhda, however, said “There is no door open for peace talks.” His warning was echoed by Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who described the BSA as “against the interests of the Afghan nation.” “The attacks in Kabul are aimed at breaking the backs of the foreign troops and the Afghan government; the fight will not stop,” he said.

COMMENTARY: CHRIS MOONEY
Winter doesn’t refute global warming WASHINGTON f you live in the U.S., you have been feeling insanely cold lately. The area south of Buffalo got 6 feet of snow this week — an extreme winter weather outburst that is being blamed for at least 10 deaths — and the Weather Channel says that parts of the Midwest and Great Lakes region may experience “one of the longest sub-freezing spells on record for the month of November.” But the whole United States has been quite cold. In Washington, D.C., Tuesday night, a weather emergency was announced due to the expectation of extremely cold temperatures. We’ve been through this drill before — last winter, actually. And it’s important to keep in mind that just because it is very cold in the U.S. doesn’t mean that you should question the overall warming trend for the planet. Weather shifts heat and cold around — we know that. We also know our own local experiences inherently bias us, since we only live the weather in one place. But the total global picture remains one of warming. Our friends at Capital Weather Gang showed as much on Tuesday by sharing a simple image of temperature departures from average for our part of the world, courtesy of the Climate Reanalyzer from the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine. The Eastern U.S. is experiencing very unusual cold, but that dish is served with a side of baked Alaska. Note also that the global temperature anomaly is positive, not negative, and that the Arctic is especially warm, relative to baseline temperatures for 1979-2000. Indeed, much evidence suggests that we may be experi-

Barriers bring safer roads
E encing this stark cold while en route to the warmest year in recorded history. Just recently we learned that at least according to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency, October 2014 on a global level was the hottest October on record. And even before we knew what October’s temperatures looked like, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had shown that there was a very good chance of 2014 setting an overall temperature record. So what about November? According to John Abraham, a climate scientist at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota who has been keeping his own tally of global temperatures, November on a global level is warmer than average, but not likely to be another record-breaker, like September and October. But Abraham adds that despite
November being a little cooler, “it’s hard for me to imagine that we will not break the annual record.” “The extraordinary thing is that this is not an El Niño year, despite a lot of discussion about El Niño emerging,” adds Gavin Schmidt, director of the NASA-Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which tracks global temperatures. “And so you’re looking at a situation where you’ve got a neutral year and you’re still close to breaking records, and that’s telling you something about the whole shift in the baseline of temperatures.” All of that said, pointing this stuff out at the moment may be a losing battle. Despite the fact that weather and climate are not the same thing — climate is the statistical average of weather — extremely cold winters do appear to shift climate beliefs.
A recent study by Tatyana Deryugina of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that not only do abnormal weather fluctuations greatly affect people’s views of global warming, but that there’s an “asymmetry” here. “Colder days weaken beliefs in global warming much more than warmer days strengthen them,” noted the paper. But the study also found that the size of the effect depends on how long the cold (or hot) spell lasts. So, keep your hopes up: Not only for a more normal winter to resume soon, but for not too many people to confuse weather and climate change in the meantime.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Story sheds light on LANL management
B
ravo for Patrick Malone’s very thorough and very scary investigative reporting (“Missteps and secrets,” Nov. 16) on Los Alamos National Laboratory’s deceptions leading to the February failure at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. We should all be apoplectic at the disregard for our safety, not to mention the betrayal of workers in Carlsbad. (We in Galisteo are also grateful that no shipments of the 5,000-plus explosive drums blew up while going down U.S. 285 a mile or so from the village.) Maybe this will lead the federal government to return the currently privatized management of LANL to a nonprofit/university. But in the same paper (house ad, B-5), the philosopher Bertrand Russell was labeled a “British photographer.” Lucy R. Lippard

No discussion I attended the Nov. 13 New Mexico Game Commission meeting (“Rules changed for keeping gray wolves,” Nov. 14) to speak against a regulation that gives the commission the authority to interfere with the permitting process for reintroduction of endangered carnivores. Normally this is a process handled by the director. The regulation is a thinly veiled strike against the Mexican gray wolf recovery program. The ostensible reason given for the regulation was to increase transparency in the Department of Game and Fish and to allow for greater public input. However, after 17 people
made comments, there was no discussion among the commissioners before they unanimously voted to approve the proposal. So much for transparency and public involvement. Talk all you want, but know they have already decided. Evalyn Bemis

Anticipation The wait is almost over: The Southwestern Association for Indian Art Winter Indian Market will be at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center on Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 29-30). Those who might have missed the textiles of Best of Show recipient Lola Cody (Navajo) at the summer market will have another chance to admire her work and art by other award-winners. A new twist this year, which SWAIA hopes will become an annual event, is the Festival of Trees. Artists and local businesses have created fully decorated holiday trees that will be auctioned off to benefit the organization. Continuing a time-honored tradition, Indian Market artists have donated ornaments for the SWAIA Indian Market tree. For the first time, SWAIA is partnering with the Santa Fe Indian Center to host a children’s activity table. Plus, there will be music and entertainment throughout the weekend. Check the website for SWAIA (www.swaia.org) for information about this premier winter event.
No turkey Next week, President Barack Obama will pardon two turkeys to promote the turkey industry. Every one of us can exercise that same pardon power by choosing a nonviolent Thanksgiving observance. It’s a most fitting way to give thanks for our own life, health and happiness. The 240 million turkeys killed in the U.S. this year have nothing to give thanks for. They are raised in crowded sheds filled with toxic fumes. Their beaks and toes are severed. At the slaughterhouse, workers cut their throats and dump them into boiling water, sometimes while still alive. Consumers, too, pay a heavy price. Turkey flesh is laced with cholesterol and saturated fats that elevate the risk of chronic killer diseases. Our Thanksgiving dinner may include a “tofurky” (soy-based roast), mashed potatoes, stuffed squash, chestnut soup, candied yams, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and carrot cake. An Internet search on vegan Thanksgiving will provide me many recipes.
From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 21, 1914: Roswell — The 1914 season was a bad one for the bee men of the valley, and instead of shipping seventeen cars out of the valley as anticipated, not one was shipped, most of the season’s production having been consumed locally. The crop this year was made short owing to the continued rains of the late spring and early summer. The bees could not get out to work, and when they did have the opportunity, the sweetness had been washed from the flowers. The bees have gone into the winter in good shape, though. It is said that the honey crop is short all over the United States. Nov. 21, 1989: The city of Santa Fe lost track of more than 10,000 gallons of fuel during the last fiscal year, an internal audit has revealed. The current honor system that led to the discrepancies will be replaced with a computerized system which will monitor who is using city fuel. Employees buying fuel after hours when there was no attendant were expected to fill out a fuel ticket so the city would know which department should be charged but there was no way of enforcing the requirement. The computerized system will require the employees to use a card similar to a credit card to obtain fuel.

rratic drivers — whether because of distraction, drunkenness or sleepiness — will always be with us. Their danger is greatest on highways because of the speeds involved. Last week, we saw another reminder of how quickly lives can shatter, a fatal accident on a Friday morning along U.S. 84/285 by Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino. According to police reports, driver Celeste Maestas tried to move her black Impala out of the way of a Ford Explorer she and other drivers saw proceeding erratically. Her car went off the highway to the shoulder. She apparently overcorrected, and her Impala crossed over to the southbound lane, colliding with another vehicle before slamming headfirst into a concrete barrier. The 40-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. (The driver of the Explorer, Jimmy Griego, 59, is believed to have been impaired. He parked his Explorer and was discovered later by police at the casino. Charges of felony DWI and driving on a revoked license are pending.) Back in 2008 and then again in 2010, The New Mexican editorialized that medians along busy highways needed to have some sort of barriers to stop cars from crossing from lane to lane. This wreck shows again the importance of stopping cars and trucks in the middle, preventing further accidents. In 2010, we wrote, “median barriers are best against all but airborne vehicles. Wider medians also help — but if they haven’t been built into the project, it’s usually too late to do anything about it. Rumble strips along left shoulders can help, depending on how inebriated a potential killer is. As for the old native-vegetations, they looked good; maybe a fence, cacti and chamisas.” Spikes, evidently, are not a favorite of the federal government because tires take too long to lose their air — frankly, we’d say spikes are better than nothing, and are less obtrusive than a concrete barrier. Because this median sits so close to a destination resort, Department of Transportation highway planners and governments (including Pojoaque Pueblo) should take care to install barriers that are less cumbersome than the concrete barriers, of course. Ugly isn’t popular either with local commuters or visitors. Cable median barriers are one option; the three- or four-strand cables, hung on steel posts, can absorb a crash’s kinetic energy. They aren’t attractive, either, but perhaps plantings of wildflowers could cover them. That would add beauty and safety to the highway. With recklessness a sad fact of life, we must use highway design to lessen the fallout from horrific crashes. Lives could — and will — be saved.

NASSAU, Bahamas — Bill Cosby has taken his comedy show on the road in the Bahamas as controversy surrounds him at home. The 77-year-old entertainer performed Thursday in a small theater at the Atlantis resort in a benefit for a women’s service organization. Cosby made no mention of the allegations of sexual assault by several women that have resurfaced in recent days. There were few empty seats in the house and a few people gave him an ovation when he finished his set. On Thursday, a Florida woman who came forward became the fourth in recent weeks to say Cosby gave her pills that made her feel groggy then forced himself on her sexually. Therese Serignese, now 57 and a nurse in Boca Raton, said the television icon raped her in 1976 when she was 19 years old following a show in Las Vegas., Nev. She said she went backstage and when the two were alone, Cosby gave her two pills and a glass of water. “My next memory is being without my clothes,” she said. “Bill Cosby was having sex with me.” Cosby spokesman David Brokaw did not respond to a request for comment.

BUFFALO, N.Y. oofs began to creak and collapse and homeowners struggled to clear waist-high drifts atop their houses Thursday as another storm brought the Buffalo area’s three-day snowfall total to an epic 7 feet or more. Things could quickly get worse: Rain and temperatures as high as 60 were forecast over the weekend, raising the specter of flooding and an even heavier load on roofs, where the snow could absorb the downpours like a blanket. More than 50 people were evacuated from several mobile- home parks in suburban Cheektowaga and West Seneca because roofs were buckling. Bellevue Fire Department Lt. Timothy Roma said more than a dozen buildings and carports collapsed, as did a metal warehouse operated by a Christmas decorations company, where damage was estimated in the millions. Local media reported that about 180 residents of a Cheektowaga assisted living facility were evacuated after staff members noticed the ceiling bulging under the weight of the snow. Homeowners and store employees around the region climbed onto roofs to shovel off the snow and reduce the danger. “It’s getting heavier,” said Cheektowaga resident Thomas Mudd Jr., who with
R
his wife spent several hours shoveling snow off his roof. The storms were blamed for at least 10 deaths in western New York, mostly from heart attacks and exposure. National Guardsmen drove nurses to work for their hospital shifts. State troopers helped elderly residents trapped in their homes. State officials assembled 463 plows, 129 loaders and 40 dump trucks from across the state. Some Buffalo-area schools were closed for the third day, burning through snow days with winter still a month away. A stretch of the New York State Thruway through western New York remained closed, with more than 300 truckers idled at truck stops and service areas, waiting for the highway to reopen. With deliveries interrupted, some grocery stores reported running low on staples like bread and milk. Even for the Buffalo area — one of the snowiest and hardiest places in America — this was one for the history books. The three-day total is close to the nearly 8 feet that the region typically gets in a year. Because the Buffalo area is so snowy, the building codes require homes and businesses to be able to handle up to 50 pounds per square foot on their roofs, which would be about as heavy as a slab of concrete 4 inches thick, according to Mark Bajorek, a structural engineer. As anyone who has ever shoveled snow knows, its weight depends in part on how wet or fluffy it is, not just on how deep it is. But Bajorek said some buildings may be close to that limit now, with more precipitation on the way.
NOAA: Globe sets 5th hottest-month record By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Despite a bitter U.S. cold snap, the globe is rushing hell-bent toward its warmest year on record with last month setting the fifth monthly heat record of the year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday that last month was the hottest October on record worldwide. The 58.43 degrees beat out October 2003. “It is becoming pretty clear that 2014 will end up as the warmest year on record,” said Deke Arndt, climate monitoring chief for NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. “The remaining question is: How much?” With only two months left in the year, 2014 has now surged ahead as the globe’s warmest year so far, beating 2010 and 1998. So far this year, the world is averaging 58.62 degrees. If the last two months of the year are only average for the 21st century, it will still be the warmest year ever, Arndt said. He said this year’s heat is what scientists expect from man-made global warming. Scientists say the burning of coal, oil and gas traps heats, changing the climate. This heat is being driven
by incredible warmth in the world’s oceans, Arndt said. The six warmest months on record for the world ocean temperatures have been the last six months. Because oceans are big and slow to change, that makes it more likely the world will set a yearly temperature record, he said. The world is approaching the warmest year “in spite of the U.S. being pretty cold,” Arndt said. That’s because the United States is only 2 percent of the world’s area and the part that’s unusually cold is about 1.5 percent of the entire globe, he said. It has been so hot in California that there is no way the year will end up not breaking the record for heat in the state, said NOAA climate scientist Jake Crouch. This year, October, September, August, June and May — five of the last six months — set global monthly heat records. April was the second hottest on record. January, March and July were fourth. February was the 21st warmest. NASA, Japan’s weather agency and the University of Alabama Huntsville satellite measuring system — which climate skeptics usually use — also called it the hottest October on record.

$50K for Fiesta Council left out of city budget Group members say they are ‘in desperate need’; money from visitors bureau reserves may close gap By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican
The city’s convention and visitors bureau failed to budget a promised $50,000 allocation for the Santa Fe Fiesta Council this fiscal year, putting the organization in financial straits. “We are in desperate need of the money,” Fiesta Council past president Gilbert Romero told city councilors
recently. Relief may be in sight for the group, which organizes and stages the Fiesta de Santa Fe each fall. A plan that calls for dipping into the bureau’s reserve fund to pay the group is in the works. “They will be receiving monies once they submit their documentation of completion of services,” Randy Randall, head of the convention and visitors bureau, said Thursday.
City Councilor Ron Trujillo says: “If we
can give $50,000 to lure The Bachelor, I’m sorry, but in my opinion, this is much more important.” “They will have to prove, if you will, that they expended the funds for the marketing purposes that they were designated for,” Randall said. The Fiesta Council relies on the
city’s $50,000 contribution to pay for marketing the community celebration, which has centuries-old roots. When the matter came up during the city’s Nov. 3 Finance Committee meeting, City Councilor Ron Trujillo, who portrayed Don Diego de Vargas when he was younger, said, “If we can give $50,000 to lure The Bachelor, I’m sorry, but in my opinion, this is much more important to this community than that.” In 2003, the City Council passed a resolution promising to set aside up to $50,000 of lodgers tax funds annually,

Lawmakers question future, lack of tenants following Virgin Galactic crash By Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press
L
awmakers demanded more details Thursday about how the New Mexico Spaceport Authority plans to succeed now that the nearly quarter-billion-dollar Spaceport America stands empty and commercial fights by anchor tenant Virgin Galactic have been delayed indefinitely. Members of a legislative finance oversight committee grilled spaceport Executive Director Christine Anderson after she handed them a presentation filled mostly with photographs. Rep. Patricia Lundstrom of Gallup, the committee’s vice chairwoman, questioned the business plan and said the point of the meeting was to go over hard numbers and cover how the state should move forward. “I’m disappointed. We need to have more than six pictures,” Lundstrom said as she thumbed through Anderson’s presentation. “We want to see something. What’s different? What makes us more competitive? This business plan we’ve seen the last six years in a row does not.” There have been concerns about the spaceport’s future after Virgin Galactic’s spacecraft broke up over the California desert during an Oct. 31 test flight. One pilot was killed and another was seriously injured. While it could be at least six months before Virgin Galactic resumes tests flights, it’s unclear how soon commercial flights could begin. And the longer it takes the space tourism company

to launch operations in New Mexico, the more pressure builds on the spaceport authority to generate revenue needed to keep
the facility open. Anderson told lawmakers that the point of the spaceport is not to make a profit, but to attract
enough business and tourism to keep the facility afloat and to create jobs in Southern New Mexico. The key moving forward will be to diversify the spaceport’s revenue, she said. That means encouraging Elon Musk’s company, SpaceX, as it works to develop reusable rockets that can be launched from the spaceport, as well as using the futuristic backdrop as a concert venue, and for fashion and vehicle photo shoots. The spaceport, built specifically to launch paying customers and payloads into the outer edges of the stratosphere and beyond, was featured prominently just days ago by Kawasaki in an ad for its newest motorcycle. Earlier this fall, Land Rover teamed up with Virgin Galactic for another commercial. Spaceport board Chairman Richard Holdridge said the spaceport authority is in discussions with prospective tenants, but he could not disclose them for competitive reasons. He said the goal is to sign at least one new tenant in the next fiscal year. Lawmakers also voiced concerns about a dirt road that is used to access the spaceport from Las Cruces. It will be harder to attract customers without a developed road, they said. Spaceport officials do not plan on asking lawmakers for money for the road, but Anderson said she will be seeking $4.5 million for a new hangar and funding to help address a $1.7 million budget deficit resulting from lost user fees due to the Virgin Galactic delays.
Opening a new case against Oriana Farrell after previous charges against her were dismissed, a grand jury has once again indicted the woman who fled a traffic stop near Taos last year with her five children and was fired upon by state police in a high-profile chase. Farrell was indicted Thursday on charges including fleeing a law enforcement officer and child abuse. The Tennessee woman was indicted on the same charges on Nov. 7, 2013. A state judge dismissed that case this summer following objections about the grand jury Oriana Farrell process. Eighth Judicial District Attorney Donald Gallegos said at the time that he would seek to indict Farrell again. Gallegos could not be reached for comment Thursday evening. Any new criminal case is likely to concern the actions of state police officers involved in apprehending Farrell as well as the actions of Farrell herself. “If you’re a mother with five kids in the car and somebody smashed your windows out, wouldn’t you run?” Alan Maestas, an attorney representing Farrell, asked in an interview with The Taos News on Thursday. Maestas was referring to one officer who had used a police baton to break a passenger-side window after Farrell and her children had locked themselves in the minivan. Farrell then pulled away, just as two other officers arrived on scene and one fired at her fleeing vehicle. “I don’t think an indictment is justified, in particular when the officers who smash in a window and shoot at kids aren’t charged at all,” Maestas said. Farrell’s encounter with New Mexico law enforcement on Oct. 28, 2013, drew national attention after video of her traffic stop outside Taos went viral amid three state police shootings. Farrell was reportedly passing through the state on her way to California from Tennessee. In footage captured by a dashboard-mounted camera inside a state police officer’s vehicle, Farrell is seen during a traffic stop for allegedly speeding while driving west on N.M. 518 in a minivan with her five children. When the officer, Tony DeTavis, returns to his vehicle after a lengthy exchange, Farrell is seen driving away. DeTavis gives chase, and Farrell is pulled over again. DeTavis removes Farrell from the minivan, but a struggle ensues involving her then-14-year-

Feds helping tribes create registries to track sex offenders By Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — More than three-quarters of American Indian tribes that have the authority to develop sex-offender registries are well on their way to meeting the legal requirements meant to keep convicted criminals from hiding out on tribal lands, a new report shows. Of the country’s 566 federally recognized tribes, 214 are eligible to
implement the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act of 2006 or delegate that authority to a state. The rest of the tribes in Alaska, California, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon and Wisconsin are under state jurisdiction when it comes to law enforcement and are ineligible to develop the registration and notification systems. The report released this week by the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that despite most eligible tribes being on board to track sex offenders
Main office: 983-3303 Late paper: 986-3010 News tips: 986-3035
within their borders, the tribes face a number of challenges in implementing the law. Those include accessing federal criminal justice databases, paying for startup costs and getting enough guidance from federal agencies. It also says tribes are having trouble getting notified by states when convicted sex offenders move to tribal land or work or go to school on reservations after being released from prison.
Some states said they have no laws or policies that require tribes to be notified. Determining whether an address is on tribal land isn’t always easy either, they told the Government Accountability Office. The U.S. Department of Justice agreed with a recommendation to develop a way for states to keep tribes in the loop so that they can enforce laws pertaining to sex offenders. Some tribes restrict how close to schools or day care centers the offenders can
live or work, or banish the offenders altogether. Federal corrections officials ask inmates leaving prison if their new address is on tribal lands, and those officials can notify tribes, the report said. The accountability office also said the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs could do a better job at finding out which tribes need help implementing the law. The Interior Department said the Bureau of Indian Affairs would be reaching out to tribes.

In brief Santa Fe man charged with sex assault A 47-year-old Santa Fe man has been indicted on charges of criminal sexual penetration and false imprisonment in a case in which he is accused of assaulting a neighbor he had invited over to watch a movie. A Santa Fe Police Department spokeswoman said Jimmy Cullins, 47, and the neighbor live in the Vista Alegre Apartments on Zepol Road and were introduced by another resident. Cullins told the woman he was “lonely” and invited her to come to his apartment to have a drink and watch a movie Oct. 17, but when she got there, police say, he started trying to kiss her. The woman told police that she told Cullins “no” and tried to leave, but he pushed her to the floor and held her arms down with his knees while choking her. He then proceeded to rape her, the woman alleged. She said Cullins let her go after she told him that her roommates would be worried and come looking for her. Before she left, she told police, he suggested she invite her roommates over for a threesome. When she got home, she called police. Cullins in April was arrested on an assault charge after allegedly pointing a theatrical prop revolver at an employee at Cowgirl BBQ. Online court records indicate that charge was dropped because a witness or prosecutor failed to appear. Cullins in July was charged with assault against a household member and criminal damage to property, according to online court records. Those charges are still pending.

Ex-millionaire who plotted murder dies SAN ANTONIO — Former San Antonio millionaire Allen Blackthorne, who was serving two life sentences for hiring the murder of ex-wife Sheila Bellush, has died in federal prison. He was 59. Blackthorne died Tuesday in the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, according to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons website. Bellush, often referred to as the “Quad Mom” for the quadruplets she had with a second husband, was found shot with her throat slit in her Sarasota, Fla., home in 1997.

Randall, who became the head of the tourism bureau in April, said the $50,000 for the Fiesta Council may have been “misidentified” as a new budget item instead of an annual appropriation. Randall said his predecessor had prepared the budget, and that he didn’t have the time or experience to modify it before it was adopted by the City Council a few months later. “I don’t think anybody made the mis-

It’s one of the longest running community celebrations in the nation,” he said. “To treat the Fiesta Council and this event in this
fashion I think is bad for our community. It’s bad business, and it doesn’t represent, I think, a good faith on the city’s part.” Randall said he was committed to work with the Fiesta Council to help ensure that it’s “spending the money the best way they can to market the event.” In the future, he added, the organization will have to submit a marketing plan. “We have not had that in the past with the Fiesta Council, but we will going forward,” Randall said. “They will have to give me a plan, and then they’ll have to execute the plan before I will refund their expenditures.” Contact Daniel J.

21 Indian reservations joining buyback program Feds attempt to return land to tribal ownership By Matthew Brown The Associated Press
BILLINGS, Mont. — Federal officials on Thursday doubled the number of American Indian communities involved in a $1.9 billion government effort to return lands on reservations to tribal ownership. Twenty-one Indian communities in 12 states will join the land buyback program by 2017, Deputy Secretary of the Interior Mike Connor said. That brings the number of locations in the program to 42.
“Right now the program is accelerating,” Connor said. “Our outreach efforts and coordination with tribal leaders and government is becoming more effective.” The buyback program was a central piece of a $3.4 billion settlement in 2009 of a class-action lawsuit filed by Elouise Cobell of Browning who died in 2011. The lawsuit claimed Interior Department officials mismanaged trust money held by the government for hundreds of thousands of Indian landowners. The 1887 Dawes Act split tribal lands into individual allotments that were inherited by multiple heirs with each passing generation. As a result, parcels of land on some reservations are
owned by dozens, hundreds or even thousands of individual Indians. That can make property all but impossible to sell or develop. The buyback program aims to buy land with “fractionated” interests and consolidate ownership of the parcels under tribal governments. “We have some plots of land that have 500 owners on one, little 20-acre tract,” said Grant Stafne, a member of the executive board for the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of the Fort Peck Reservation in northeast Montana. “We would have control over our land instead of individual Indians. It would make it easier to lease land.” In the buyback’s first year, $225 million was paid to individual

Drunk sister costs brother police job ALBUQUERQUE — A Jemez Pueblo police officer, who authorities say picked up his intoxicated sister and left her in the back of his squad car for nearly an hour, has been fired. Jemez Pueblo Police Chief Pete Camacho told KOB-TV on Wednesday that Officer Bryan King has been terminated from the agency. According to authorities, Albuquerque police found a 23-year-old woman Nov. 1 in the back of an unmarked police car after getting a call about banging sounds coming from a vehicle parked in an apartment complex.
Native Americans for restoring the equivalent of 375,000 acres to tribal governments, Connor said. During testimony before Congress earlier this year, tribal leaders including Stafne criticized the program for its slow pace. They also said they were being shut out of decisions on what land to buy. Connor said Thursday the government is making adjustments as the program grows, but Stafne said problems persist. One thing his tribes want is to put the money into their own interestbearing account. “We could buy land on that interest alone,” he said. Fort Belknap Tribal President Mark Azure said Thursday that a cooperative agreement with federal officials

sequent owners of the development. The ski village and access road have been tied up in lawsuits and reviews for years. Thursday’s recommendation is a step toward resolving the issue, but it is still subject to challenge and delays. The announcement triggers a 45-day period for objections. The recommendation would give Leavell-McCombs 204 acres of national forest land valued at more than $1.4 million. The federal government would get 178 acres of privately held land valued at more than $1.5 million. The government would pay the developer $70,000 to make up the price difference.

King told officers he “wanted to teach her a lesson for drinking and possibly driving.” He is not facing any charges. Staff and wire reports
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A federal judge on Thursday overturned the death sentence of the lone inmate on Wyoming’s death row, saying his trial lawyers had failed to give jurors sufficient reason to spare his life. Lawyers handling the federal appeal of Dale Wayne Eaton, 69, didn’t dispute that he had killed Lisa Marie Kimmell, 18, of Billings, Mont. Instead, they argued that his previous attorneys from the Wyoming Public Defender’s Office failed to present factors that might have given jurors a reason to consider sparing his life, such his low intelligence and abuse he suffered as a child. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Alan B. Johnson in Cheyenne gave Wyoming a choice of
had eased some of his earlier concerns about the program. But Azure said Fort Belknap leaders still have too little say over which parcels are chosen. He added some landowners remain reluctant to participate in the federal program, but if the tribe had more control over it those landowners might be willing to sell. “That’s where we as tribes hopefully provide answers to all of their questions,” he said. “They would lean more toward tribal government in bringing in answers that are going to make sense.” Roughly 245,000 owners of fractionated land on 150 reservations are eligible to participate in the program.

penalty, although he hopes the attorney general appeals the judge’s ruling. “It’s very important that Wyoming make a decision here whether we have the death penalty or whether we have the death sentence,” Blonigen said. “To sit here ten years later and undertake a 20-20 hindsight review of what an attorney did 10 years ago — OK, that’s the challenge that faces us.” Eaton was sentenced to death in 2004 for the 1988 rape and murder of Kimmell.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — One of the reasons Boston College coach Jim Christian likes playing in an early season tournaments is the gauge it provides about Boston Col. 69 where his team is at mentally. UNM 65 After some struggles in that department to begin the season, he left the Eagles’ opener at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off encouraged about his team’s prospects going forward. Olivier Hanlan had 20 points and Aaron Brown added 16 as Boston College held off New Mexico 69-65 Thursday. “We needed to show we could respond when the other team makes a run,” Boston College coach Jim Christian said. “I thought we did a good job of that all night tonight.” The Eagles (2-1) led by as many as 13 points in the second half and were able to beat back multiple Lobos runs down the stretch. Christian was also high on his team’s execution offensively, which he said was much improved following a loss to UMass. “Our man-to-man offense was much better today,” he said. “We’ve been spending a lot of time the last couple days on that. We didn’t attack the zone very well. … But you have to make plays to win games.” Hugh Greenwood led the Lobos (2-1) with 24 points.

UNM lets women’s soccer coach go ALBUQUERQUE — New Mexico says women’s soccer coach Kit Vela will not return to the school after a season that included discipline for a hazing incident. School officials said Thursday that Vela’s contract will not be renewed. She had a 122-104-45 record in 14 seasons with the Lobos. The team was 10-6-2 this season, finishing third in the Mountain West before losing in the Kit Vela conference tournament semifinals. Vela was suspended for a week without pay and 22 players were suspended for one game after the hazing episode in August. An internal investigation showed underclassmen were humiliated by being forced to perform inappropriate gestures and the hazing was an ongoing tradition in the Lobos women’s soccer program. Two players were hospitalized from excessive alcohol consumption as part of the hazing event that reportedly lasted more than two hours. The Associated Press

SFHS, despite loss of star player, pounds Aztec By Edmundo Carrillo The New Mexican
The premature departure of one of Santa Fe High’s best girls basketball players turned it into a completely different team. SFHS 61 But you wouldn’t have known it on Aztec 34 Thursday night. The Demonettes, who opened their season with a nondistrict game against Aztec in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium, continued a 10-game winning streak — one that included a Class AAAA championship — by pounding the Lady Tigers 61-34. Santa Fe High extended the streak, despite not having 6-foot-2 senior post Sabrina Lozada-Cabbage, who is out for the season with a torn ante-
rior cruciate ligament. Lozada-Cabbage suffered the injury in a tournament at Albuquerque Volcano Vista in July, but the Demonettes looked even better than when they made their championship run before that happened. When she went down, change was inevitable. “We played a little better, honestly, and then we saw Sabrina get hurt,” said senior point guard Savina Padilla. “We were a whole different ball team. We had to adjust to different positions, and I think we adjusted great. We won our first game, so it showed.” Lozada-Cabbage’s absence left a gap bigger than the space she occupies in the paint. With a key senior out of the picture, someone had to fill the leadership void, and Padilla rose to the occasion.

She scored the first basket five seconds into the game, and she finished the first quarter with nine points. “After one of our main players goes out like that, someone has to step up,” Padilla said. “A lot of us have talent, and a lot of us can fill that gap. It’s my senior year, and I have to give it my all, so I try my best and give it to the other players to fire them up and get them where they need to be.” Padilla’s fast start helped the Demonettes grab a 23-10 lead at the end of the first quarter. Santa Fe High head coach Elmer Chavez said his team was fast, but the Demonettes were on pace to finish the game with 92 points after the first quarter. “That’s the way we’re practicing now,” he said. “[Aztec] was tired [Thursday], and I think that’s how we have to play from now on.”
Chavez is playing the up-tempo game in order to keep up with District 1AAAAAA foes Albuquerque Cibola, who he believes is the best team in the class, and Volcano Vista, the reigning big-school state champion. And just one game into the season, some players are ready for the challenge that moving up to AAAAAA is going to be. “I was sitting on the bench, and I looked up at the banners and saw Cibola,” said Padilla, who finished with 14 points. “Something about it gets me nervous, but I’m determined, I’m ready.” While Santa Fe High is trying to prove it belongs in the new class, the Lady Tigers are still trying to find their identity.

PREP ROUNDUP
Prep manages OT win over East Mountain The New Mexican
The Santa Fe Prep girls basketball team isn’t as sharp as it will be later in the season, but its ability to hang around late in close games is not in S.F. Prep 57 question. E. Mountain 54 After the Blue Griffins trailed East Mountain 25-18 at halftime of a nondistrict game in Prep Gymnasium, they turned the tables in the third quarter and escaped with a 57-54 overtime win. Prep (2-0) outscored the Lady Timberwolves 15-4 in the third quarter to take a 33-29 advantage into the final frame. “We just came out flat in the first quarter, but then we got the momentum in the third quarter,” Prep head coach Anika Amon said. The Blue Griffins led by five points in the fourth quarter, but defensive miscues allowed East Mountain to tie the score 50-all at the end of regulation. Prep outscored the Lady Timberwolves 7-4 in the
overtime period to stay out of the loser column. East Mountain’s Chenoa Crites led all scorers with 20 points. Alexis Mundt paced Prep with 16 points while Bianca Gonzales had 15. Gonzales and senior Desiray Anderson played their first game since volleyball season concluded, and they are part of a group that still has to get into basketball mode. “It’s early, and we’re still a bit rusty,” Amon said. “We still have to get our feet under us.” POJOAQUE VALLEY 61, CAPITAL 43 The Chris Williams era began with a punch. At least the Elkettes punched back, and better than the Lady Jaguars (1-1) in their season opener in Ben Lujan Gymnasium. It was just a 25-17 lead at the half, and Williams felt Capital outplayed his team for most of the first half. “They outworked us and got a lot of second-chance points,” Williams said. “Once we were able to box out, we cleaned that up.”
The Elkettes also adjusted their pressure, going with a half-court trap in the third quarter that helped them outscore the Lady Jaguars 19-7 and fashion a 20-point lead. Pojoaque did not have senior post Jennifer Hernandez and point guards Selina Trujillo and Natalie Martinez, but juniors Justice Ainsworth, Aaliya Casados and Amanda Martinez stepped up in their place. Ainsworth had 14 points, while Casados added 13 and Martinez 10. Julie Gandara led Capital with 15 points, while Rachel Friend added 10. BOYS BASKETBALL ESPAÑOLA VALLEY 66, GALLUP 63 The Sundevils got their revenge for losing to the Bengals in the opening round of the state tournament last year, as they overcame an eight-point deficit in the third quarter to squeeze out the season-opening win. Jared Garduno had a game-high 27 points, while Elias Archuleta added 16. Gallup had Matt Begay score 14 and Ronald Lee 13.
ATC: Boys built an impressive early lead Continued from Page B-5 and one day it’s going to pay off.” It did for one day, at least. Both of ATC’s programs went through changes at the top, with new head coaches. Ralph Casaus came from Monte del Sol, where he had spent four years coaching the girls team and four years with the boys program before that, in the spring and spent the summer implementing his up-tempo style of play. Ray Roybal, though, was hired just two weeks ago as the new girls coach after Leroy Barela left the program in the summer to take a similar job at Las Vegas Robertson. The difference in the boys and girls was clear. Casaus’ team came out and stunned NACA with a 23-13 lead just 4 minutes into the game as the Phoenix hit six of their first eight shots. While the Eagles responded with a resounding 24-2 run that set the tone for the rest of the night, it was a promising start that ATC can build upon for the rest of the year. “If we had kept it up like that, we’d have gotten it,” said freshman shooting guard Michael King, who had 20 points. The girls, though, labored through a sloppy first half by both teams, then a scoreless third quarter that helped a NACA program starting just its second season at the varsity level pad a 22-16 halftime lead to 33-19. While Roybal was happy with the hustle and the effort the Phoenix showed, he saw a group that needs a lot of work on the most basic of skills. “A lot of it is, we have to go back to Square One and go with basics,” Roybal said. “Just go from there. We are going to have a few games like this this year, that’s for sure. In general,
ATC captain Ashley Zapata shoots a layup during the third quarter of Thursday’s game against NACA at Fort Marcy Complex. JANE PHILLIPS/THE NEW MEXICAN
we are trying to keep it as positive as possible for the girls.” Leading the way for the ATC girls were Ashley Zapata and Felicity Sealy, as they had 10 and 11 points each to lead the team. Roybal said they are also the players with the most experience playing organized bas-
ketball. Zapata said the lesser skilled players work as hard as they can during practice, but playing in games can be a kneeknocking experience. “When it comes to games, it’s like, ‘Oh, I don’t want to play,’ ” Zapata said. “It’s kind of hard for them. I’ve been playing for five
years now, and the nerves go away pretty fast.” Still, Zapata admitted that preparing for the first varsity game was nerve-wracking even for her. “It took me a while,” Zapata said. “I need to see somebody scoring points, and then I got over it. I know some girls get nervous the whole game, and some aren’t even nervous at all.” Zapata had to feel better when Sealy scored the first varsity basket at the 4:40 mark of the first half — a 15-foot jumper that made it 6-2. However, the rest of the game was a turnover-fest, as both teams combined for 79 in all. Turnovers were an issue for the boys, but that goes with the frenetic pace both teams set. The one thing Casaus feels he has that he didn’t at Monte del Sol is depth. He has 23 players in the program, which was enough for a junior varsity team. At Monte del Sol, he rarely had more than 10 or 11 players for the boys or girls programs. Yet, Casaus sees a lot of similarities with the programs at the two schools. He helped Monte del Sol make the bridge from an A school to AA, and even led the Dragons to its only AA postseason berth in 2008. Casaus said the approach isn’t any different. “We’re going to have to buckle down and start playing defense,” Casaus said. “You saw our defense. We got tired and lazy, so it’s the same thing.” The key to proper growth, though, is patience. Dunlap said his current group of four seniors started with him as freshmen, and he feels this is the year the Eagles can compete with the likes of LagunaAcoma, Estancia and Cuba. “We stay hungry, every game,” Dunlap said. “Don’t take anything for granted.”

SFHS: Lack of Lozada-Cabbage a challenge Continued from Page B-5 returned from last year’s varsity, and giving up 23 points in the first quarter of the season didn’t exactly boost a young group. “When a team like that is that fast and athletic and put up that many points in the first quarter, you have to have confidence to keep playing,” Aztec head coach Robert McCaskill said.
If giving up that many points drained their confidence, nailing eight 3-pointers — four of which came from senior guard Shamarie Johnson, who finished with 18 points to lead Aztec — might give them something positive to think about. “And we weren’t even on tonight,” McCaskill said. “When we’re on, we can hit a little bit more than that.” Bottom line, both teams are still trying to
figure themselves out after the departure of key players. Santa Fe High’s imposing post presence might be gone, but life without Lozada-Cabbage is going to be just fine. “We lost our post, and everybody thought we weren’t going to be that great,” Chavez said. “I think we’re still going to be a good team.”
Lobos: Cullen Neal out with ankle injury Continued from Page B-5 who left with a sprained left ankle. The Lobos bench also chipped in 22 points. Boston College looked to be pulling away after a 9-2 spurt gave it a 47-34 lead with just under 17 minutes to play. The Lobos appeared to gather themselves with an 8-0 run of their own to get back within 47-42. That momentum dissipated, though, after a pair of turnovers contributed to seven
straight Eagles’ points that put New Mexico back in a doubledigit hole. The Lobos tightened up in their zone defensively and turned it into points, trimming Boston College’s lead all the way down to four points with just over a minute to play. But Boston College was able to connect on enough free throws to preserve the win. “I just think it was a lot of effort. We knew that we could play,” Lobos coach Craig Neal said. “You gotta get lucky and
you gotta have some breaks. … I thought our guys did a great job in the second half to get back or maybe tie it or win the game. But you gotta give them credit.” Asked about the health of Cullen Neal, he said “I don’t think it’s very good” for his leading scorer returning to play in the rest of the tournament. “We just get it X-rayed and hope it’s not broken,” Neal said. “That could be blow for us, but our guys will keep battling and it gives somebody another
opportunity.” Both teams were virtual mirrors of one another statistically in the opening 20 minutes. The only major difference was how much better Boston College shared the ball, spreading around nine assists. The Lobos managed only four assists, while relying heavily on Greenwood to providing scoring when their offensive sets stalled. The Eagles were also a lot more patient, piling up 16 points in the paint.

Ovechkin’s late goal lifts Capitals over Avalanche DENVER — Alex Ovechkin scored late in the third period, Braden Holtby stopped 27 shots and the Washington Capitals beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Thursday night. Nicklas Backstrom had a goal and an assist, Jason Chimera also scored and Ovechkin added an assist for the Capitals. Washington won the last two games of its three-game trip. Ovechkin broke a 2-all tie when he skated past defenseman Jan Hejda and put a shot on Reto Berra. The goaltender didn’t cover up the loose puck and Ovechkin poked it just over the goal line with 5:56 left. It was his ninth of the season and first in four games. The Avalanche played half the game short-handed after Alex Tanguay was hit in the face on a shot by Ovechkin. Tanguay immediately skated off the ice and went into the locker room. The Avalanche announced that Tanguay sustained a jaw injury. Colorado, playing its first home game in two weeks, tied it on Tyson Barrie’s second goal of the season at 6:44 of the third period. The defenseman pinched in from the blue line and tipped in a pass from Gabriel Landeskog for his second goal of the season. The Associated Press

Bills-Jets game relocated to Detroit By John Wawrow The Associated Press
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Snowed out in Buffalo, the Bills are heading to Detroit to play their “home” game against the New York Jets on Monday night. The NFL announced the location and date of the game on Thursday night after a severe lake-effect storm paralyzed much of the Buffalo region. More than 5 feet of snow has fallen in the Buffalo area since Monday, and another 1 to 3 feet was projected to fall by Friday. The storm forced the Bills to cancel their past two days of practice because of impassable roads and driving bans in Orchard Park and many communities neighboring Ralph Wilson Stadium. The team intends to travel to Detroit on Friday and practice at the Lions’ facility. The Lions are at New England on Sunday. “We greatly appreciate the hospitality of the Detroit Lions in hosting the Bills and this game,” NFL spokesman Michael Signora said. This marks the second time the Bills will play at Ford Field this season following a 17-14 win over the Lions on Oct. 5. It also is the second time in four years the facility has hosted a neutral site game. The last time an NFL game was moved to Ford Field unexpectedly, the fans who did show up witnessed a bit of history. Brett Favre’s streak of 297 regular-season starts came to an end that night — on Dec. 13, 2010 — when the Minnesota Vikings lost to the New York Giants 21-3. Favre was

Peterson has said he intended no harm to his son, only discipline. The 2012 NFL MVP played just one game for the Minnesota Vikings this season and was paid part of his $11.75 million during the leave. He will keep the money accrued while on the exempt list. But the NFL’s punishment now amounts to a 14-game ban, with six unpaid weeks. That’s the equivalent of a fine of more than $4.1 million. Goodell announced Aug. 28 tougher punishment for players involved with domestic violence. That action stemmed from a torrent of criticism for the initial leniency toward former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who was caught
on camera hitting his then-fiancee and knocking her unconscious on an elevator in an Atlantic City casino. Rice was later suspended indefinitely and recently had his appeal heard by an arbitrator. According to the enhanced policy, first offenses of assault, battery or domestic violence bring a six-game suspension. But the union is arguing that the new policy was enacted after the incident had already occurred and shouldn’t be retroactively applied to Peterson’s conduct in May 2014. The union also claims the “NFL is making up the process and punishment as it goes — a blatant violation of the CBA.”
Raiders: Last win was Nov. 17, 2013 Continued from Page B-5 14-point lead, but needed a 17-play, 80-yard drive led by Carr to secure its first win since beating Houston on Nov. 17, 2013. Alex Smith threw two TD passes for the Chiefs (7-4), who had won five in a row. They fell a half-game behind Denver in the AFC West. The Raiders became just the third team since the merger to beat a first-place team for their first win after losing at least 10 games to start the season. Indianapolis did it against Green Bay in 1997 and Buffalo did it to Dallas in 1984. The Chiefs will have a long time to stew over this loss before hosting Denver on Nov. 30 in an AFC West showdown. It took an impressive drive by the rookie Carr to win it. He twice had to sneak for first downs. He also threw an 8-yard pass to Mychal Rivera on thirdand-6 and capitalized on a pass interference penalty against Ron Parker on another third down before finding Jones for the goahead score. “That was really hard-fought, they are a great team obviously, they will probably go to the playoffs and do some great things,” Carr said. “I can’t wait to see my teammates’ smiles.” The game wasn’t sealed until Smith threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-13 from his 48. Even that didn’t come without a tense moment. Khalil Mack and Sio Moore sacked Smith on third down and celebrated in the backfield while the Chiefs ran up to the line. An angry Justin Tuck had to call timeout as he seethed at his younger teammates. The Chiefs battled back from a 17-3 deficit late in the third quarter to take the lead with three scores in less than 8 minutes, including a pair of touchdown passes from Smith. The first came on a looping throw to Anthony Fasano for a 19-yard score with 1:52 remaining in the third quarter. The Raiders managed to move the ball near midfield before stalling on their next drive, and the Chiefs answered with a four-play, 65-yard drive that was made even more dif-

Jamaal Charles beat Charles Woodson out of the backfield to catch a short pass and weaved through Oakland’s defense for a 30-yard score that tied it at 17. It was Charles’ fifth touchdown catch in his past two games at the Oakland Coliseum. Frankie Hammond’s 28-yard punt return set up Cairo Santos’ second field goal of the game, giving the Chiefs their first lead of the night. The Raiders started fast behind the little-used Murray, who had just 10 carries in the first 10 games. He spelled starter Darren McFadden on the second drive and provided an immediate spark for Oakland’s struggling offense before leaving the game with a concussion. Murray carried twice on his first drive, sprinting 11 yards around the end for Oakland’s first rushing touchdown since Oct. 19 against Arizona. The Chiefs were looking to match the 2011 San Francisco 49ers by becoming the second team ever to allow no rushing touchdowns through 11 games. Murray did even better the next time he touched the ball, sprinting past the Chiefs defense for the longest run by a Raiders running back since Bo Jackson had a 92-yarder against Cincinnati in 1989.

Giving dropouts a way back to class By Juliana Brenner Generation Next
ernanda Marquez, 21, dropped out of Santa Fe High School three times starting in her sophomore year. She often wondered if she would be able to graduate and whether school was even a possibility for her. But she was persistent, re-enrolling at the start of each new school year before life got in the way. Marquez dropped out before the second semester of her sophomore, junior and senior years in high school for the same reason — to help her mother care for her four younger siblings and to take a job to provide financial support. “I have really strong family values — [my mother] raised me as a single parent and I admired her since I was a kid, so I felt this grand duty to help her out,” Marquez said. In 2012, Marquez’s mother quit her job, which made things easier for Marquez. So she enrolled in YouthWorks, a program providing free alternative education, life skills and job training. At YouthWorks, she felt supported and was able to earn her GED diploma within two months. Marquez then enrolled in a college math class during the summer. She was hopeful she could continue her education after she passed her first college class, but family problems started to arise in her home, which once again required Marquez to drop out of the system before the start of the new school year. Her story is not uncommon. Recent national statistics indicate that every year more than 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States — the equivalent of 7,000 each day. The National Dropout Prevention Center/Network identifies three overall factors as to why a student might drop out of school: being “pushed out” of school
F
after missing too many schooldays; not maintaining adequate grades; or not getting along with the students and teachers. Familial obligations and teen pregnancy also play a role. But there are resources and programs that can offset this trend. This semester, Santa Fe Public Schools started Engage Santa Fe, a program designed to draw dropouts back to school by letting them earn credits at their own pace. Engage recruits students who are no longer in school but have not yet earned their GED certificate. It offers mentors, tutors and job training and allows them to work toward a diploma credit by credit. (Santa Fe’s dropout rate is less than 3 percent — out of a total enrollment of about 13,000 students — while the statewide average is about 4.7 percent.) Miguel Angel Acosta, who helped start and then recruit dropouts for Engage Santa Fe, believes there are many factors contributing to the dropout rate — including the relationship between at-risk students and their educators. “It all comes from the teachers and administrators. By the time [students] hit high school, they experience thousands of instances of what they call ‘microaggressions,’ which may seem somewhat minor,” said Acosta. He said these “microaggressions” are brief verbal or behavioral indignities that may communicate hostile, derogatory or negative feelings to students and encourage them to leave the system. However, despite the influences that cause some students to drop out, there are students who care but are simply dissatisfied with the level of education they are receiving. Eliza Lutz dropped out of Santa Fe High School when she was a freshman. That year, three of five teachers she had were either let go or quit because of budgetary cuts, she said. For the majority of Lutz’s classes, she had permanent substitutes, and much of her class time was

spent watching movies. She was not engaged. “I think back then I looked a lot crazier, I had a mohawk, a lot of piercings, wore a lot more makeup and looked scary, so a lot of times I think people thought I was dropping out because I didn’t care,” she said. “But it was the reverse — I was dropping out because I cared.” Lutz immediately enrolled in classes at the Santa Fe Community College. Roan Lee-Plunket faced a similar experience. After attending Santa Fe Waldorf High School for three years, she came to the decision that she wanted to write. Santa Fe Waldorf School did not offer her an intensely focused syllabus to enhance her writing skills. So in September, Lee-Plunket began attending classes at Santa Fe Community College. In addition, she sought tutoring in math at The May Center for Learning in Santa Fe in order to obtain her GED certificate. “I like being able to choose what I want to study, because I already have an idea of what I want to focus on. I feel a lot more independent, and I feel like I am learning a lot more about adult life at college,” Lee-Plunket said. Still, teens who opt out or drop out may still be able to get back into the system through Engage or other resources. Though the general feeling among students who have dropped out of school is that sometimes high school is not the right place to achieve their academic dreams, Marquez urges teens not to give up, and get back in. “I think a lot of people do regret not going back to school, and even if they feel like it’s too late, they shouldn’t. Just because mistakes are made, it doesn’t mean that is where [school] ends.” Marquez said. Juliana Brenner is a sophomore at Desert Academy. Contact her at julianabrenner@gmail.com.

Girl Up helps push women’s issues I
first heard of Girl Up, a campaign through the United Nations Foundation, from one of the organization’s email lists when I was a freshman in high school. I ignored the emails until my sophomore year, when I realized that I had a passion for global issues pertaining to women and girls. Girl Up envisions a “world where all girls, no matter where they live, have the opportunity to become educated, healthy, safe, counted and positioned to be the next generation of leaders.” Hooked by that slogan, before I knew it I was attending the third annual Girl Up Leadership Summit held last summer in Washington, D.C. How cool was that? I got to spend three days not only learning about Girl Up, but also surrounded by girls who had the same interest in women’s issues. I heard speeches from celebrities like actress Monique Coleman (from High School Musical) and Samantha Power, U.S. ambassador for the United Nations. One of my favorite lines from Ambassador Power’s speech was, “And you know, don’t start by any means thinking that you are at a disadvantage because you’re a girl. You’re not. You know, you’re completely kick-ass.” The third day of the conference was focused on a lobby day on Capitol Hill for a bill called the Girls Count Act. This bill would help ensure that girls in developing countries receive birth certificates and are thereby “counted.” After my experience attending the Girl Up Leadership Summit, I felt like I was ready to try and bring the message of Girl Up to Santa Fe Prep as well as New Mexico. At the start of my senior year, I founded the first Girl Up Club in New Mexico. Currently, there are 350 active clubs across the United States and in 44 countries, with 12 on college campuses. Although at first there were jokes like, “Prep should have an AP sandwich-making class,” my school community has already started to evolve from easily accepted stereotypes of women. For example, whenever there is a context where feminism or women’s issues come up, people around campus will say “yea, girl up,” as if this phrase is an action or a verb. Even this smallest change shows that people are becoming aware of situations where feminism is still alive. But work needs to be done on issues including equal pay and having the right to choose when it comes to the issue of abortion. One of the most rewarding parts of my club is the fact that I also get to work to educate people about the way our society — as well as how other societies around the world — act in relation to women. My club posted signs all over our school with different statistics about women. Some examples: “One in seven girls will be married before the age of 15” and “In Sub-Saharan Africa, less than one in five girls make it to middle school. In 19 countries in the region, less than 5% of these girls complete middle school.” These quotes from www.girlup. com (visit the site for more details) help my peers realize what is happening in this world for women and girls.

College visits offer helpful preview of life on campus By Blanca Ortiz Generation Next
There is no better way for seniors to learn if a college is a good fit than by visiting college campuses. It is a wonderful experience to get a preview of what college may be like — even if it is not the college at the top of your list. This experience can help you decide if that is the type of environment you want to be in once you graduate high school. That way, you can begin to look at other colleges that similar environments or academics. I recently went on two college visits
to the University of Denver and Colorado State University with the Simon Scholars Program. Those scholarships have been awarded each year since 2004 to high school students who meet certain criteria, such as maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average and committing to earning a four-year college degree. We were able to tour both universities and both campuses were absolutely beautiful. This experience was both fun and eye opening. It was also another way to truly find what I am looking for when choosing the college or university I will be attending. It was interesting to see the dorms
Main office: 983-3303 Late paper: 986-3010 News tips: 986-3035
— the way people lived, interacted and became a part of that way of living. We also caught a basketball game while we were there — Colorado State University against Fort Lewis College. The friendly environment of that campus was definitely one of my favorite parts. Although the experience with the University of Denver community was not as engaging, their outstanding academics and study-abroad programs impressed me. I also love the fact that they were so close to downtown Denver. My college visits were with a larger
group of about 20 students over two days, so the process was a bit different than setting up an individual visit on your own. While planning your college visits, it would be smart to schedule the trip when school is in session so you are able to get the full picture of what college life is really like. It would be ideal to sign up for an official campus tour — where you sign up depends on the college. If you don’t know where to start, go into the admissions office to introduce yourself or call that office for guidance. Planning for college is definitely stressful. There are so many things
that come into play, but when you have the opportunity to live the experience for a few days and see and feel the environment you could be in for four years, it can be a total gamechanger. I will apply to Colorado State University and perhaps the University of Denver, as I plan on choosing a college where I can pursue a degree in political sciences with a possible double major in international studies.

Today in history Today is Friday, Nov. 21, the 325th day of 2014. There are 40 days left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Nov. 21, 1864, a letter was signed by President Abraham Lincoln expressing condolences to Lydia Bixby, a widow in Boston whose five sons supposedly died while fighting in the Civil War. (As it turned out, only two of Mrs. Bixby’s sons had been killed in battle; also, historians are not certain that Lincoln actually wrote the letter.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might discover that a loved one seems to have blinders on, which prevents him or her from seeing others’ perspectives. Tonight: Now the weekend begins. Christen it well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Others will be seeking you out to share their thoughts. Play devil’s advocate, and go along as much as you can. Tonight: Enjoy the evening. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH The best intentions could disappear as you become engrossed in what you consider to be a significant task. Tonight: Step on the brakes. Slow down! CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be obsessing about a new flame or perhaps a new job. Find a friend who will be honest with you. Tonight: Let the fun begin. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might want to reconsider a personal matter with someone who has a long-term vision. Tonight: Happiest at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be unusually quick to give someone a response. You might want to defer to others for now. Tonight: Playtime!

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Retired teacher is in a lonely rut Dear Annie: Two years ago, at the age of 62, I was forced to take early retirement from my teaching job. My pension is miniscule, and despite trying to find fulltime work, I have only been able to string together part-time jobs. I have been divorced for 20 years, so there is no one else in my life to depend on financially. My days are consumed with trying to make ends meet, and as a result, I have no time or money for a personal life. I can’t afford to travel, my grown children are busy with their own lives, and my friends have spouses or grandchildren who keep them occupied. I can’t even attend church, because I need to work on Sundays. I spend evenings, weekends and sometimes holidays alone, so I turn on the TV or radio to simulate human voices. I’m fit, intelligent and in good health. I want to know what I’m supposed to do with the rest of my life, because it appears I am going to spend it alone. How can I get out of this rut? — Indy Dear Indy: Take some of that time spent in front of the TV and do something that doesn’t require money. Volunteer at your local hospital, library or veterans association. The Salvation Army welcomes volunteers on holidays. You might make some friends in the process, but regardless, instead of feeling lonely, you will be out helping others, and that will take your mind off of your problems and lift your spirits. Dear Annie: My sister has a friend whose son is getting married. The woman is also an acquaintance of mine, but I never hear from her, and I’ve not seen her son in three years. My mother received an invitation to the bridal shower, and my name was also listed on the envelope. My mother is on a fixed income, and we could not afford a gift, so we didn’t attend the shower. A couple of weeks later, a wedding invitation arrived with my mother’s and sister’s names on it. When I didn’t receive an invitation of my own, I assumed
I was not invited. I didn’t give it another thought. Well, the friend called my mom, and I picked up the phone. She asked whether I was coming to the wedding, and I stammered and handed the phone to my mother, who said she was sorry but neither of us could make it. The friend then told my sister she was very hurt that I hadn’t responded. She said the reason I didn’t get an invitation was because she didn’t have my address, which is a load of baloney. She sent the shower invitation to me at my mother’s. Should I feel bad about not responding to a wedding I wasn’t invited to? I’ve thought about sending her a note of apology, but I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. — Tired of the Drama Dear Tired: It sounds like this friend invited your mother, and when you picked up the phone, she felt obligated to say she intended to invite you as well. But you are right that she easily could have obtained your address from your sister or mother. No, you do not have to RSVP for a wedding you were not invited to. But it might help smooth over the hard feelings if you send a card to the bride and groom with your very best wishes. Dear Annie: As a recently retired physician, may I add to your advice to “Slowly Falling Out of Love”? A patient once came to me with severe fatigue and lassitude, saying, “I can barely put one foot in front of the other.” He turned out to be profoundly hypothyroid, and treatment with gradually increasing doses of thyroid medication gave him his life back. “Slowly’s” husband needs a complete medical evaluation by a thinking physician. — Patricia Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Curb any possessiveness. You could be pushing others — or one person in particular — away. Try to break this pattern, but at the same time, do whatever is needed to build yourself up. Tonight: Treat a friend. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your ear-to-ear smile could be the result of clearing the air. Tonight: Go for what you want. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Read between the lines with a loved one. Your instincts are likely to serve you well with a domestic issue. Tonight: Be a little mysterious. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Others will deliver what you want. As of now, you are clear about who your supporters are. Tonight: Just ask, and you shall receive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Others often follow your lead, and today is no exception. Use care when loaning money or signing any financial agreements, as there could be a catch. Tonight: Till the wee hours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to reach out to someone at a distance. Your motivation probably involves a need to clear the air with this person. Tonight: Let your imagination speak. Jacqueline Bigar
