IF YOU ATTENDED OR WATCHED THE UNIV. COLORADO/PUEBLO BASKETBALL GAME LAST MONTH, YOU NOTICED THAT MARCUS WILLIAMS FELL TO THE GYM FLOOR, WRITHING IN PAIN AFTER DRIVING TO THE BASKET DURING THE FINAL SECONDS OF THE GAME.

Seniors Put Pressure on State...

Jan. 9-10 Optic quotes a researcher as saying, "the number of senior citizens in the state who depend on government services will increase, as budgets for programs to help them will shrink."

Electricity from Renewable Energy

PNM, which has offered customers access to electricity generated by wind power as an extra-cost option called Sky Blue, is now proposing to shift that option to a 50-50 blend of wind power and solar power at an even higher extra cost. They say the cost of producing electricity through solar energy is higher than the cost of producing it from wind energy and both costs are higher than coal or whatever they usually use. Motions for leave to intervene are due by December 2 at the Public Regulation Commission in Santa Fe.
