More than a dozen years ago the Phoebe A. Hearst museum fired its anthropology team that was supposed to be monitoring human remains and said it had a final inventory of some 2000 human remains and funerary objects. All of those remains and objects are associated with the Chumash people. Even now the tribe has said the University of California Berkeley is a “documented bad actor” that continues to deliberately obstruct repatriation. Today we speak with Chairman Kenneth Kahn of the Santa Ynez Band of Mission Indians.

Maia Sharp is, first and foremost, a composer. Her songs have come out of the mouths of Bonnie Raitt, Lisa Loeb, Trisha Yearwood, Art Garfunkel and Cher. Her own albums have been liberally sprinkled with pure gems.
Mercy Rising, her self-released and self-produced latest, due in May, is no exception. With the help of Joshua Grange (who plays in the bands of Sheryl Crow and Lucinda Williams), Sharp’s barbs are as pointed as ever. Yet she sings ‘em so sweetly and soulfully that you don’t mind being sucker-punched. Case-In-Point “Nice Girl,” where the mellifluous ambiance cracks open so the bile of the punch line can slap you hard. “When The World Doesn’t End” is smart, philosophical and questioning. “Backburner” is for those who suppress emotion.

New Mexico court upholds damages cap in medical malpractice

New Mexico s highest court has ruled that monetary limits on some types of damages due to medical malpractice are not unconstitutional.
The New Mexico Supreme Court on Monday unanimously upheld the Medical Malpractice Act, which maintains non-medical and non-punitive damages at $600,000. The limit does not extend to punitive damages and compensation for medical and rehabilitative care.
The five-member panel argue that a cap on some damages will just be a legal consequence when juries determine amounts to award.
The decision reverses a 2018 ruling made by the Bernalillo County District Court, which declared such caps unconstitutional.
