SANTA FE (AP) — The current chief operating officer and a former controller at the New Mexico Finance Authority were arrested Wednesday on charges of state securities violations related to a fake audit that made the agency’s revenue look stronger.

The Securities Division of New Mexico’s Regulation and Licensing Department announced the arrests Wednesday of COO John Duff and former controller Greg Campbell, who left the agency in June.

The Finance Authority

issues bonds and provides low-cost financing for capital projects by certain state agencies, cities, counties, schools and other New gover nmental Mexico organizations. The authority has more than $1 billion in outstanding loans.

Among the charges is that the two men agreed to an accounting change that made the authority’s revenue appear greater than what it actually was in 2011.

According to the criminal complaint, Campbell faces securities fraud, forgery

Campbell and Duff were booked into Santa Fe County Jail and were subject to a $20,000 cash or surety bond. Both men were released Wednesday afternoon, according to jail records.

and racketeering charges.

Investigators say Campbell has acknowledged that he forged the agency’s audit report that provides financial statements about the agency and he falsely claimed that it had been audited by an outside firm.

Duff was charged as an accessory on eight counts

of securities fraud and racketeering. Duf f, who was Campbell’s immediate supervisor, also has been charged with conspiring to engage in a pattern of racketeering by misrepresenting NMFA’s financial statements to ratings agencies, investors that buy the agency’s bonds, and the

The state’s top securities regulator declined to speculate Wednesday on the motives of Campbell and Duf f, and the finance authority’s governing board members say it’s uncertain whether any money is missing until a forensic audit of the agency is completed.

Congressman Steve Pearce is greeted by constituents including Smiley Wooton and state Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell during a stop at the Eastern New Mexico State Fairgrounds, Wednesday morning.

The Roswell Police Department filed an arrest warrant with Magistrate Court, late Tuesday night, for Joel Cordoba-Lopez, formerly a person of interest. Cordoba-Lopez, 21, is now considered suspect in the double fatal crash that occurred at Southeast Main Street and Brasher Road, Sunday.

The affidavit of criminal complaint noted that the 2007 Cadillac Escalade sustained heavy damage to the undercarriage. The debris field covered all of the north and southbound traffic lanes and ran 500 feet to the Escalade, from which the RPD investigator sur mised that the SUV achieved speeds in excess of 90 mph.

A witness positively picked Cordoba-Lopez out of a photo array, identifying him as the sole occupant of the white Escalade, which drove over the Sonata and then rolled. The driver escaped on foot. According to the affidavit of criminal complaint, a blood trail led across the intersection and then east. Both Mandy Miranda, 30, and her son Joe Albarez III, 5, were killed. The third occupant of the Sonata, Miranda’s daughter Mariah Albarez, 6, survived.

Syrian troops push into Aleppo to oust rebels See PEARCE, Page A3

TEL RIFAT, Syria (AP) — Syria launched a ground assault Wednesday on rebel-held areas of the besieged city of Aleppo, the center of battles between gover nment forces and opposition fighters for more than two weeks.

It was not immediately clear if the offensive was

“the mother of all battles” that Syria’s state-controlled media vowed last month would take place for control of Aleppo. In recent weeks, the regime’s blistering attacks on rebel positions seem to have slowly chipped away at the opposition’s grip on its strongholds in the country’s

largest city.

The official SANA news agency said regime forces have fully regained control of the Salaheddine neighborhood, the main rebel area in Aleppo. It claimed the “fall” of hundreds of “armed terrorists,” the government’s catchall term for its opponents, without

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney’s campaign fiercely protested a searing attack ad aired by allies of President Barack Obama on Wednesday, but drew expressions of dismay from conservatives when an aide to the former Massachusetts governor invoked the benefits of a state health care system he signed into law.

candidate himself rarely mentions the law, which contains a requirement to purchase health coverage similar to the one in the federal law that conservatives despise and he has vowed to repeal.

ers judged the commercial harshly, sometimes unusually so.

Additionally, the Romney’s campaign alleged that the president’s campaign “lied repeatedly about its knowledge of the content” of the commercial. The allegations were denied.

Whatever the particulars, conservatives were quick to react to Saul’s remark about the health care law that Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts.

Mortgage scam is criminal matter, now JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The woman who may lose her home as a result of a mortgage modification scam run out Florida, has now found herself not only under siege by the same phony law fir m that took her for thousands of dollars, but it has started to threaten her. Her plight was reported in the June 23 Daily Record. The woman who identified herself by her nickname, Suzy, lost her spouse to cancer in 2010. She hired American Residential Law Firm, a name she located on the Internet, to assist her in a mortgage modification program.

The so-called law firm went bankrupt, eventually to re-emerge as Palm Beach Consultants of Florida. During the interim, the representative, who went by the name of Nashan Ruff, agreed to continue to work with her. Suzy admitted that the name should have alerted her, but she was grieving the death of her husband and desperate to keep her home.

When Suzy discovered that it was a scam, she confronted “Mr. Ruff,” and refused to make further payments. Since that time, she has started to receive threatening messages, including texts. In a recent text, he told Suzy that he was a Miami-Dade police officer and if she didn’t send more money, he would have her arrested.

The Record contacted the Miami-Dade Police spokesman, Detective Alvaro Baballata. He reported that the police force has nobody named

New power plant TUCUMCARI (AP) — Xcel Energy has started work on a new backup power plant for the eastern New Mexico community of Tucumcari.

The utility will be moving a combustion turbine from an existing plant in West Texas to the new Quay County Generating Station.

The 23-megawatt dieselpowered turbine will serve primarily as a backup source of power if service on the main transmission line is interrupted.

Xcel says it stopped using the previous diesel system several years ago due to the age and condition of its generators.

Nashan Ruff on its roster. He stated that he believed the name was fake.

For Suzy, the ordeal has been ongoing and has now escalated. Her first attempt to report the scam to the Roswell Police Department was refused since it was considered a “civil matter” for civil courts, but now that she is being harassed and threatened, it has become anything but civil and qualifies as criminal. She reported the threats to RPD on Tuesday, but the matter of jurisdiction remains an issue.

Suzy still faces foreclosure and if that happens, she is afraid that she and her disabled daughter will end up on the streets. Suzy thought she had done everything to salvage her situation after she contacted American Residential Law Firm. She kept in close contact with her bank and her mortgage company of 17 years, Bank of America.

She was glad the RPD took her report and said the matter would now be forwarded to one of the detectives.

“Of course, I knew he wasn’t a police officer, and I am not expecting my money back; I’ve already lost that. I hope they (Miami-Dade Police Department) will do something about this guy, so he won’t do this to anybody else,” she said.

The Federal T rade Commission reiterated its warning about Mortgage Assistance Relief Scams. “At best, they tell half-truths and many simply lie.” j.palmer@rdrnews.com

County officials joined Xcel representatives on Tuesday for a groundbreaking ceremony.

The project includes expansion of an existing substation and modifications to the local distribution system to accommodate the new turbine.

Officials say the backup plant will be operational by late spring 2013.

WIPP shipments LOS ALAMOS (AP) — Los Alamos National Laboratory says it has shipped a record amount of radioactive waste to a southeastern New Mexico facility for disposal.

Apprehended

Christopher Richard Young was apprehended in Alamogordo, Tuesday. Young, 41, was featured as Roswell’s Most Wanted on July 11 and July 26. He was wanted by the Chaves County Sheriff Office for a violation of the sex offender registration and notification act. He slipped from his GPS belt and ankle monitor. His belt was located near the Probation and Parole office, 5 Grand Plaza, on June 26. Alamogordo police noticed suspicious behavior on Young’s part, ran his plates and discovered the outstanding warrant. Young was placed into custody of the Otero County Detention Center pending transportation back to Chaves County.

The northern New Mexico laboratory has sent more than 1,000 shipments of the waste to southeastern New Mexico since the federal government opened the nuclear waste repository in 1999.

Surprise visitor ANGEL FIRE (AP) — Norther n New Mexico’s Angel Fire Resort had a surprise visitor at its lodge this week when a bear found its way inside through a back door that was left open.

Resort officials say the bear wandered through the lobby and down the halls of the first and second floor for about 10 minutes late Monday. It was caught on surveillance cameras.

Police were dispatched, but the bear had already left the lodge through the same open door by the time they arrived.

Department biologist Rick Winslow has said that bear nuisance calls this year are actually down from 2011, which marked a record year.

Clovis cosmetics plant CLOVIS (AP) — Vandalism has pushed back the opening date of a cosmetics plant in Clovis.

Drew Martin is the director of operations for Beauty Health and Science Innovations. He tells the Clovis News Jour nal that the building had been stripped of copper wire in its electrical system.

Martin says the company now is focused on complying with building codes.

The plant is expected to be fully operational in the next 60 days, hiring up to 150 employees within a year and possibly more down the road.

TV spot. But he added that the Romney aide’s remarks were “a potential gold mine for the Obamaites, because they can say, ‘Well, yeah, and Romneycare’s the foundation for our plan, Obamacare,’ which they are already out there saying.”

The back and forth over the commercial largely overshadowed the day’s campaign activities by the president and his challenger.

Romney campaigned in Iowa, where he drew a standing ovation for promising to repeal “Obamacare,” the derisive label that Republicans long ago hung on the law the president won from Congress.

Obama was in Colorado, where he embraced the Obamacare tag in an appearance before an audience largely made up of women.

The president’s campaign aides said throughout the day they had no connection with the controversial television commercial and added that they didn’t know the specifics of when Soptic’s wife became ill.

But Soptic was featured in an ad the Obama campaign aired in May. Republicans responded quickly with evidence of a conference call arranged last spring by Stephanie Cutter, a top aide in Obama’s campaign, in which reporters were given an opportunity to speak with Soptic.

Under federal law, the president’s campaign may not coordinate its activities with independent groups such as Priorities USA Action.

Polls make the race a close one, to be decided in a battle for eight or so swing states where neither candidate has a decided edge. Key campaign events are yet to unfold, including national political conventions set to begin later this month, Romney’s selection of a vice presidential running mate, and a spate of campaign debates a few weeks before the election.

In the ad, Soptic says that the plant where he worked was closed by Romney and Bain in 2001. “I lost my health care, and my family lost their health care. And a short time after that my wife became ill. I don’t know how long she was sick and I think maybe she didn’t say anything because she knew that we couldn’t afford the insurance.”

By the time she went to the hospital, he added, she was found to have cancer and died 22 days later.

“I do not think Mitt Romney realizes what he’s done to anyone,” Soptic says, “and furthermore I do not think Mitt Romney is concerned.”

Romney has long said he left Bain Capital in 1999 to take over the management of the troubled 2002 Salt Lake Olympics Games.

resented about $40 million in NMFA’s 2011 financial statements. At issue is money the authority provided to state government in 2010 and 2011 to plug shortfalls in New Mexico’s operating budget for schools and general gover nment programs. The authority receives a share of state tax revenues, and the Legislature tapped into idle funds held by agencies to help balance the state budget.

Instead of reporting the transfer of money as a $40 million revenue decline, the authority officials classified it as a “grant expense” in the fake audit. Regulators say that was improper.

August recess. He spent the better part of his day in Roswell, Wednesday, starting his mor ning at the Eastern New Mexico State Fairgrounds. There he spoke to area agricultural producers at a town halltype meeting. Farmers and ranchers have been coping with continuing drought conditions, feeling the heat from high feed prices, the slashing of livestock production and damage or loss of crops.

Pearce opened with talk of the Farm Bill, which is reauthorized every four to five years. Around 70 percent of the bill deals with food assistance programs, he said. A draft of the bill generated from the House Agricultural Committee is currently stalled in the House. While many farm groups have urged Pearce to support the bill, he is hoping for further tighter reforms. “We’ve got to start angling this stuff toward something we can sustain into the future. I’m not interested in doing it all in one year, but put the groundwork in, let it be incremental and we’ll be OK in 20 years from now, and that’s what I’m after,” he said.

It was unclear why the area was targeted. Residents said gover nment forces often shelled the village, but that this had been the first airstrike. They acknowledged that there were some rebels in the village, though an Associated Press reporter saw no armed men during a brief drive through the area.

The international community has widely condemned the Syrian regime’s use of fighter planes in the civil war. The attention has focused on the struggle for Aleppo, but Wednesday’s attack shows that the regime is using such methods elsewhere.

Chaos is mounting inside Syria as the country’s civil war deepens. President

Securities Division, said in a statement.

After a NMFA board meeting, Tanaka told reporters, “We have no reason to believe that the NMFA is in fiscal trouble at this point. But certainly steps were taken to falsely represent the financial condition and to make it appear stronger than it was.”

The af fidavit said the accounting reclassification of the transferred money was outlined to the board

by Campbell during an August 2011 meeting and no questions were raised.

Duff has worked for the finance authority since 2005, starting as its chief investment officer. As chief operating officer, he supervised the accounting operations that Campbell headed as controller. Campbell also went to work for the authority in 2005 to perform accounting work and became controller in December 2007.

Campbell and Duff were booked into Santa Fe

County Jail and were subject to a $20,000 cash or surety bond. Both men were released Wednesday afternoon, according to jail records.

A date for an arraignment at the 1st Judicial District Court in Santa Fe had not yet been set.

“The action of these two individuals has risked the credit rating of New Mexico,” said J. Dee Dennis Jr., superintendent of the State Regulation and Licensing Department. “We want to send a clear and strong message to Wall Street, rating agencies, bond purchasers and investors that we will get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible to once again restore their confidence in our state.”

National credit rating agencies have said they’re considering whether to downgrade the authority’s bond ratings because of concerns about a lack of financial oversight within the organization. A drop in bond ratings will increase the cost to New Mexico tax-

duplication within distribution programs and the strengthening of certain payment programs to discourage their misuse.

Attendees voiced their concerns over the Endangered Species Act and frivolous environmental lawsuits and the increasing price of fertilizer, and spoke of the benefits of a horse slaughterhouse in Roswell.

Pearce answered their questions, more often than not expressing his agreement.

Later that mor ning, Pearce attended the ribbon cutting ceremony at the Roswell GOP headquarters, to rally supporters and encourage volunteers who are manning the phones and knocking on doors “to just be you.” There he fielded questions about the dynamics of Congress, particularly in times of stalemate, work opportunities and retirement benefits for baby boomers, the VA voucher program and Obamacare.

Pearce is in favor of repealing the Affordable Care Act. In its place he would like to see association health plans where small employers could band together and get the buying discounts that big companies receive. He would also like to see the implementation of health savings accounts, similar to an insurance policy. “If you don’t use it, 70 percent

stays in your account so next year you get an even better deductible.”

During an interview at the Daily Record, Pearce said his number one priority remains rebuilding the economy. He is in favor of extending all of the Bush tax cuts, which expire Jan. 1. “I’m just not convinced that we should let those taxes go up. I think it would shock us into a very deep recession. It would make what we’re in right now look very simple. People always say, ‘Well, the rich should pay more.’

When you get to about 30 percent, then you start hurting the economy, and they’re paying up in the 30 percent range right now.”

Pearce has introduced several bills that would cause those receiving unemployment or welfare benefits to be drug tested.

Yet he indicated his support of helping those people get cleaned up and back to work. “We are never going to be able to pay and balance the budget if we continue the way we are. We’ve got jobs that are going empty. Every person we pull off of unemployment, the spending goes down and the tax revenues go up, because they go out and go to work and they start paying taxes. You put a million people to work now, you’re going to change that deficit problem significantly.”

Police are currently soliciting the public’s assistance in locating Joel CordobaLopez. Police believe he may be in Roswell, Dexter or Artesia. He also has family in Mexico and may have fled the country.

Cordoba-Lopez is described as 5 feet 9 inches

tall, 185 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He may have also sustained injuries consistent with a crash and could try to seek medical help.

Cordoba-Lopez was last seen wearing a grey polo shirt, blue jeans and red/black Jordan tennis shoes.

Anyone with information pertaining to Joel CordobaLopez is urged to contact the Roswell Police Department, 624-6770, or their local law enforcement office immediately.

Bashar Assad’s regime has suf fered a series of setbacks over the past month: Four senior security officials were assassinated in Damascus, there have been a string of high-level defections including the prime minister this week, and gover nment forces have struggled to put down rebel challenges in Damascus and Aleppo.

But the regime has far more power ful weapons than the rebels and retains a firm grip on much of the country.

Aleppo, Syria’s commercial center, holds great symbolic and strategic importance. Some 25 miles from the Turkish border, it has been a pillar of regime support during the uprising. An opposition victory there would allow easier access for weapons and fighters from Turkey, where many rebels are based.

A foreign diplomat in Turkey told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the rebels were likely not receiving any heavy weapons, making any chance of their taking over Aleppo exceedingly low. The diplomat asked that his name and details of his position not be published because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

There has been a marked increase in the number of refugees fleeing to Turkey in the past two days as Aleppo-based activists reported fresh clashes.

Some 3,350 people crossed the border overnight and Wednesday to escape the escalating violence, Turkey’s state-run news agency reported Wednesday. Some 50,000 Syrians have now found refuge in Turkey. Even more refugees have crossed into Jordan and Lebanon.

OPINION

Richardsonphobia: the Gov fears all things Bill

There is an argument to be made that Bill Richardson & Co. were the most back water, banana republic group of coconspirators to gather in the name of elected public servants since Warren G. Harding and his Teapot Dome team.

Of course, Richard Nixon & Co. were in a league of their own, and the Obama Administration makes Nixon’s team appear bush league, at best.

Still, Richardson, almost in spite of himself, did one thing worth holding onto: the New Mexico Bowl and its logistics operation, the New Mexico Sports Authority.

Now, according to sources, like virtually everything Gov. Susana Martinez finds associated with Richardson, the Sports Authority is toast. Finished. Kaput.

The bowl game, a property of ESPN, the Disney-owned sports network, remains on the sched-

ule for now. However, in past years, the bowl game has received as much as $300,000plus from the state. Sources say this year Martinez approved only $50,000. The city of Albuquerque doesn’t think the difference worth the investment. A spokesperson said there “wasn’t enough interest” in the game.

The New Mexico Bowl, however, isn’t a bad advertisement for the state. In fact, more often than the not, viewers were treated to shots of our infinitely ocean-blue sky. And ESPN regularly set its cameras on the San-

dias — as close as we get to skyscrapers — leaving the average television audience of 2 million in awe.

When Dennis Latta, the original Sports Authority director appointed by Richardson, worked to put the game together, he had one hard and fast need from ESPN: He wanted to be the first bowl game of the season.

There are 35 college football games. That’s a lot. The New Mexico Bowl is a far cry from the BCS Championship, of course.

It’s a far cry from the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas. But it was light years ahead of countless games by virtue of its place on the schedule.

Football fans like bowl games — even if they don’t feature Souther n Cal or Alabama. Or perhaps a better way to look at it might be, football fans like bowl games — even those featuring T emple and W yoming, the

match-up for the 2011 New Mexico Bowl.

But somewhere around game 11, let’s say, the interest dwindles and thoughts turn to taxes and the New Year. Being the first game on the roster is a huge plus for the New Mexico game.

In past years, that state has had a few national sporting events. The Sunwest BankCharley Pride golf tournament was a reasonably successful date on the Professional Golf Association’s Seniors Tour — now called the Champions Tour.

College basketball’s centerpiece, the NCAA Final Four, came to Albuquerque in 1983.

Footage of North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano sprinting onto the UNM Pit floor after his team shocked Houston is still used by CBS during its broadcasts of “March Madness.” It was rated the top sports event in New

Mexico in the 20th Century by state sports writers.

Absent the New Mexico Bowl, we are left with the International Balloon Fiesta. It’s far from a consolation prize, of course. It ranks as one of the top photographed events in the world and remains a tremendous economic boon to city and state.

We’re surrounded by Denver’s Broncos, Dallas’s Cowboys, Phoenix’s Cardinals. We have Lobo basketball and the triple-A team of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Albuquerque Isotopes. Perhaps we’re really only a far m team state.

Still, for one day in December, New Mexico is the focus of college football fans from Washington, D.C., to San Diego and all points in between. There’s something to be said for that — even if it was a Bill Richardson creation. © New Mexico News Services 2012

Olympic taxation

Michael Phelps, Missy Franklin, Gabby Douglas and other victorious U.S. Olympians in London haven’t just won medals and fame in London.

They’ve earned potentially hefty tax bills.

Under U.S. law, American athletes must add the value of their Olympic medals and prizes to their taxable income.

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has responded by sponsoring legislation — the Olympic Tax Elimination Act — that would exempt Olympians from paying taxes on their winnings.

“Our tax code is a complicated and burdensome mess that too often punishes success, and the tax imposed on Olympic medal winners is a classic example of this madness,” Rubio said recently in a press release. “Athletes representing our nation overseas in the Olympics shouldn’t have to worry about an extra tax bill waiting for them back home.”

When it comes to populist appeal, we give the senator a perfect 10. As for public policy, though, Rubio’s proposal falls short at the finish line.

Along with their medals, American Olympic winners receive cash payments through the U.S. Olympic Committee: $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. In addition, the medals are estimated to be worth about $675 for gold, $385 for silver and just under $5 for bronze.

Add it all up and subject it to a 35 percent taxable rate, and some gold medal winners could be liable for nearly $9,000 in additional taxes, according to Americans for Tax Reform.

Tax experts believe a good accountant could get that rate much lower, perhaps even to zero. Still, the potential exists for the government placing a fiscal claim on the Olympians. Olympic champions exemplify the American dream of hard work and personal sacrifice paying off. An Olympic medal represents years of training and buckets of blood, sweat and tears.

And when the day of triumph finally comes, the vampiric IRS swoops in to extract its “share” of the glory. With Americans having already won more than 60 medals in London, including more than 28 gold, that would be a nice little haul for Uncle Sam. Nevertheless, many hard-working, selfsacrificing individuals contribute to America’s success, just not always in the glare of NBC’s spotlight. They pay taxes on the fruits of their labor, yet there is no, say, “Mars Rover Tax Elimination Act” proposed for the men and women of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Rubio rightly complains about a complicated and burdensome tax code, but adding another exemption to it hardly makes it less so.

Rubio’s Olympic ploy should call attention to the myriad problems with the U.S. tax code and serve as a springboard to broader tax reform. The code should be flatter and simpler — for everyone, not just Olympic heroes.

Guest Editorial The Panama City News Herald DEAR DOCTOR K: I’m a vegan. I just found out I have a vitamin B-12 deficiency. How is this treated?

DEAR READER: Vitamin B-12 deficiency is common in vegans, and fortunately it’s easy to treat.

Vitamin B-12 is needed by many tissues in the body, especially the brain and spinal cord, and the bone marrow where blood cells are made.

Our bodies get vitamin B-12 from food. But it is available only in animal foods (meat and dairy products) or yeast extracts (such as brewer’s yeast). As a vegan, a strict vegetarian who does not eat any animal products, such as meat, fish, egg or dairy, you’re at higher risk for the deficiency because you don’t eat the sources of vitamin b-12 for most

Military spending should match mission On his recent trip abroad, Mitt Romney observed an American taboo by not criticizing President Obama’s military policy. But before his trip, he made his position clear.

Obama has “exposed the military to cuts that no one can justify,” Romney said.

He meant that unless Congress intervenes, Pentagon spending will be cut by more than $500 billion over 10 years under the (bipartisan) budget sequestration scheduled for January. This terrifies those who fear that limiting the growth of the militaryindustrial complex will leave us less safe.

But is that true? Even if

people.

You didn’t mention any symptoms caused by the vitamin B-12 deficiency. It’s not uncommon for there to be no symptoms in the earliest stages. Sometimes, the deficiency is detected when a person becomes anemic (not enough red blood cells).

If you do have symptoms, I’ll bet they developed slowly, and

$500 billion is actually cut, America still will spend more on defense — adjusted for inflation — than we did at the height of the Cold War and the Vietnam War. We station soldiers all over the globe. Thousands of U.S. troops are in Ger many, Japan, the UK and Italy.

you may not have recognized them right away. As your condition worsened, you may have experienced: — Weakness and fatigue — Light-headedness and dizziness — Palpitations and rapid heartbeat — Shortness of breath — A sore tongue that has a red, beefy appearance — Nausea or poor appetite — Weight loss — Diarrhea — Yellowish tinge to your skin and eyes If left untreated, vitamin B-12 deficiency can damage your spinal cord and nerves. If nerve damage does occur, it can cause: — Numbness and tingling in your hands and feet

Why? I thought we won World War II. We built an air force base in Greenland to monitor the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Why are we there now?

We station 28,500 soldiers in South Korea. South Korea’s economy is 38 times bigger than North Korea’s. Why does America need to pay to protect it?

Since America is going broke, I thought defense was one area where Democrats might make cuts. But Democrats rarely cut anything.

Obama says our troops won’t start leaving Afghanistan until 2014, and we’ll still be involved for years after that.

— Difficulty walking — Muscle weakness — Irritability — Memory loss — Dementia — Depression — Psychosis It’s easy to treat a vitamin B12 deficiency that is due to not enough of the vitamin in your food. You simply take a vitamin B-12 pill regularly. If the deficiency is severe, you might need several injections of the vitamin before starting on the pills.

If you choose to continue eating a vegan diet, incorporate yeast extracts into your diet.

They are available in some grocery stores and many health food stores. Vitamin B-12 is also See DR. K, Page A5

We should have learned from the Russian debacle and Britain’s three lost wars there.

Advocates of America-asworld-policeman rarely grasp that their conception of “defense” endangers us by creating new enemies. Fired Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who led NATO forces in Afghanistan, once said, “For every innocent person you kill, you create 10 new enemies.”

Bombing Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia with drones creates new terrorists — some of whom may seek revenge.

Growing healthy, happy boxwood and hawthorn plants Roswell Daily Record

Q. Enclosed are a couple of leaves from my boxwood plant and hawthorn plant.

Can you identify the problem with these plants?

Edie H. Las Cruces A. The samples of leaves (hawthorn and boxwood) that you sent me appear to suffer from an environmental problem, not insect or disease. From the limited sample, I was not able to identify the species of hawthorn, but it appears to be one that retains its leaves through the winter as does the boxwood plant.

The symptoms your leaves exhibited could be suffering from winter damage (desiccation and wind damage).

This would be the case if these leaves are old leaves that formed last year and

overwintered. In the heat of summer, these leaves begin to show discoloration and eventually drop from the plant.

If these are newer leaves that were for med this years, the problem may be due to heat, drought, mineral salt accumulation (salt burn), and wind damage.

This summer has provided all of these.

Whether the hawthorn leaves were old or new, the problem appears as salt bur n. The ends of the leaves have turned brown while the base of the leaf remains green. Salt burn is common in many plants grown in New Mexico because our soils have a higher mineral content than soils in many other parts of the country. Our

Donations sought

water is also high in minerals. Together these facts can result in salt accumulation in the leaves and damage to the leaves. Fertilization may increase the problem because fertilizer contains necessary nutrients in the form of mineral salts. If salt accumulation is the problem, try irrigation periodically to leach excess salts below the root zone. Organic mulches around the plants may also help maintain constant moisture and soil temperature, reducing the frequen-

cy of needed irrigation.

Frequent irrigation results in accumulation of additional salts (from the water) around plant roots.

The symptoms I could see in the boxwood leaves was breaking of the tip of the leaf along a straight line and browning of the youngest leaves. The breaking of the leaf appears to be wind damage. If the leaf browned before breaking, salt accumulation as mentioned above may be involved. The browning of the newest leaves could be

salt burn damage, or desiccation due to heat and drying winds as the new leaves were developing.

Irrigation and organic mulch to maintain constant moisture in the root zones of these plants will help minimize these problems. Direct rainwater from the roof of structures to the root zones of these plants to provide water with lower dissolved salt content to reduce addition of salt to the soil and to leach salts below the root zone of these plants.

If a significant number of leaves on these plants are showing symptoms, you should contact your local NMSU Cooperative Extension Service office to have someone familiar with local conditions examine your

plants and provide additional, more specific, recommendations.

create stable, democratic societies — but it is a fatal conceit to believe that we as foreign central planners can build nations. Bureaucrats can’t design real societies. The best outcomes bubble up from free decisions made by local people. They, not the planners, have more relevant information about their own lives and incentives. When they don’t get the decision right, they adjust. But when central planners — be they kings, viceroys, bureaucrats or democratically elected politicians — try to create something as complicated as a new social order, they usually fail.

If government cannot run profitable trains or effective poverty programs, why should we think it can create a democracy in Afghanistan? We have tried to build democracy in Afghanistan for more than a decade. Are we winning hearts and minds? A 2010 poll of more than 1,600 Afghans found that just 43 percent had a favorable impression of the United States — down from 83 percent in 2005. American-trained Afghan soldiers shoot U.S. troops.

And in the fog of war, the waste is astonishing. No one knows how many billions have been squandered in Iraq and Afghanistan: $200 million went for unfinished Afghan army buildings, $5

million to police buildings so poorly built that they are unusable, and so on.

Government is clumsy and wasteful at everything it does. Why would that be different for the military? The Pentagon, like other government departments, even spends money in deliberately wasteful ways to establish “need” for at least as much next year. Sometimes soldiers fly helicopters on pointless missions just to burn up fuel.

When a private company loses money (and doesn’t get a government bailout), it goes out of business. If money vanishes, executives might get thrown in jail.

But the Pentagon loses tens of billions and, at worst, gets a slap on the wrist from a congressional committee.

I don’t presume to know the “right” amount to spend on defense. But I do know that when America is going broke, we can’t afford to spend what Romney wants to spend.

America needs to reevaluate the military’s mission. If the mission is to “provide for the common defense,” then let’s adopt a posture of defense. It needn’t cost so much to protect our shores while staying out of other people’s conflicts.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

A Picture Of You I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine.

I see your smiling eyes, Each mor ning when I wake, I talk to you, and place a kiss, Upon your lovely face.

How much I miss you being here, I really cannot say, The ache is deep inside my heart, And never goes away.

I hear it mentioned often, That time will heal the pain, But if I’m being honest, I hope it will remain.

I need to feel you constantly, To get me through the day, I loved you so very much, Why did you go away?

The angels came and took you,

That really wasn’t fair, They took my one and only son, My future life. My heir.

If only they had asked me, If I would take your place, I would have done so willingly, Leaving you this world to grace.

You should have had so many years, To watch your life unfold, And in the mist of this, Watch me, your Mum, grow old!

I hope you’re watching from above, At the daily tasks I do, And let there be no doubt at all, I really do love you.

Pauline Miller

Funeral services are scheduled for 10:30 a.m., Friday, Aug. 10, 2012, at South Main Church of Christ, in Roswell, for Pauline Miller, who passed away from this Earth on Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2012.

She will be buried in South Park Cemetery beside her husband Melvin L. Miller.

Her son-in-law Pat Morris will officiate.

Pauline was bor n in Ranger, Texas, on Aug. 12, 1931, to Cecil G. and Nola Wheeler. She was raised there, as well as in Bisbee, Ariz., Deming and Carlsbad. She graduated from Carlsbad High School in 1949, where she was elected Female Athlete of the Year and pitched for the State Champion Cavegirl softball team. She married Melvin L. Miller on Jan. 17, 1953, and began a family in December of the same year, eventually raising six children.

Pauline loved God. She also loved to be outside working in her yard or playing games and sports with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She could play baseball with the boys or sew doll clothes for the girls. She was a master Scrabble player, but could usually beat you at a number of board games. She would wake everybody up to see and then play in, the fresh snowfall. Her backyard painting events are favorite memories of her grandchildren. She loved the mountains and could hike as well as anyone, spending many hours watching deer, elk or the birds she fed. She loved life. She especially loved children. Even as her illness progressed, the sight of any child would make her eyes widen and her smile spread.

Pauline worshiped at South Main Church of Christ for 49 years, serving as church secretary for many of them. She raised four children and then adopted her last two, then helped her grandchildren

Roswell Daily Record anytime she could. Pauline was office manager for the family business, Miller Investigations, from 1985 to 2000. She was kind, gentle and fun-loving with more energy than anyone.

Hutterites want apology for NatGeo television show

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Leaders of a Hutterite colony are demanding an apology from the National Geographic Society and a pledge that it never again broadcast a television show they say misrepresented their way of life and damaged their reputation.

National Geographic Channel CEO David L yle said Wednesday an apology is unwarranted because the show gave a fair and accurate depiction of colony life.

Caught in the middle are the stars of the show who say they have been told by elders to “tell the truth” but some of whom now fear possible excommunication.

King Ranch colony minister John Hofer wrote a

July 31 letter to National Geographic Society chairman and CEO John Fahey that “American Colony: Meet The Hutterites” was supposed to be a National Geographic Channel documentary about the German-speaking agricultural community of Protestants in central Montana.

Instead, Hofer said, the producers turned it into a reality TV show that encouraged discord within the community by pitting generations against each other. Situations and story lines were invented and the people were told what to do and say while the camera was on, he said.

The result was an inaccurate depiction that has damaged the reputation of Hutterites everywhere, he

Hutterites are Protestants of German descent whose traditional, religious-centered lives have been compared to that of the Amish and Mennonites, but they live in commune-like colonies in rural areas of the western U.S. and Canada.

They also make use of some technology, especially when it comes to agricultural production. But the extent to which the Hutterites let in the modern world and the effect of that on their cultural and traditional values is one of the themes in the 10-part series about the King Ranch colony 10 miles west of Lewistown that aired earlier this year.

LONDON (AP) — No more heartbreak for Allyson Felix.

No more silver, either.

Denied twice on the world’s biggest stage, Felix won the Olympic gold medal she’s been yearning for, taking the 200 meters Wednesday night to fill the last, and biggest, hole in her otherwise stellar resume.

Felix won the race in 21.88 seconds, topping Jamaica’s Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who won the 100 four nights earlier, by .21 seconds. American Carmelita Jeter added bronze to go with her silver in the 100 meters.

One more spot back was Jamaica’s Veronica CampbellBrown, who defeated Felix in the Athens and Beijing Games and was trying to become the first woman to win the same individual track and field event in three consecutive Olympics.

Instead, the Americans were the ones celebrating three straight, their own 15 minutes of fame: Felix, followed quickly by Aries Merritt in the 110 hurdles and Brittney Reese in the long jump.

“Track and field is the best sport for Americans,” said Jason Richardson, who finished second to Merritt in the hurdles as part of a seven-medal day at the track for the See FELIX, Page B3

Four years ago in Beijing, the Americans banded together after their coach’s father-in-law was stabbed to death at a Chinese tourist site a day before the opening ceremony. They went undefeated and upset Brazil for the gold medal.

U.S. setter Donald Suxho bent over with his hands on his knees and shook his head as Italy celebrated the win at Earls Court. After congratulating the Italians, the Americans turned and applauded the many U.S. fans in the crowd.

Wing spiker Reid Priddy wadded up his finger tape and threw it to the ground as he left the court.

“We had great plans for what we wanted to do here,” U.S. coach Alan Knipe said. “We’re disappointed. We’re leaving London without a medal.”

The gold in Beijing was the team’s third in men’s volleyball, which became an Olympic sport in 1964.

The U.S. led by Stanley with 16 points, but Stanley couldn’t stop Michal Lasko’s kill for match point.

“It just seemed like we were looking for someone else to make a play, I don’t know,” Stanley said.

The U.S. took a 13-9 lead in the first set on Lee’s kill, but Italy tied it at 18 on Travica’s ace and took the lead on Ivan Zaytsev’s spike. The Italians denied the U.S. set point three times before claiming it on another ace from Travica that the Americans thought would sail long.

Inspired, Italy surrendered the lead only briefly in the second set and pulled ahead 20-16 on Lasko’s block. Italy won set point when Anderson misplayed the retur n on Savani’s serve for ace. The U.S. argued the point but to no avail.

Eastin is a replacement line judge who will make her NFL debut in Thursday night’s Green Bay at San Diego exhibition game.

The regular officials are locked out by the league after their contract expired.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for her, and for us,” Goodell said Wednesday at an ethics in sports seminar. “She deserves the opportunity, she’s well prepared for it, and I think she’ll do terrific. So we’re excited about that.

“And there are more coming, by the way.

We’ve been working along this path to try to properly train and prepare a female official, and now we have the opportunity.”

Eastin is a referee in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (FCS division) and also runs a company that trains officials in football and basketball.

“There are probably not as many women as I like” attending her classes, the 42-yearold Eastin said on a conference call Tuesday. “I want to encourage women: Don’t be afraid. Pursue and have dreams.

This is my dream. With very step I hope to show it really doesn’t matter if you are male or female.”

Goodell didn’t specify if future women officials would be hired on a regular basis or as replacements during the lockout.

“They could be replacements, or they could be — hopefully this is not going to be long term,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll get this resolved sooner rather than later. But we’re prepared to go forward with the season, and that’s what we’re going to do. We’ve prepared our replacement officials.”

Olympic roundup

CYCLING - BMX Two spectacular crashes marred the start of the BMX competition, and time trial world champion Caroline Buchanan of Australia and Raymon van der Biezen of the Netherlands posted the best times of the seeding runs.

On the challenging course sitting next to the London Velodrome, American rider Brooke Crain crashed in the home stretch in a section made of a succession of small jumps. She managed to get back on her bike to cross the finish line but officially was listed as not finishing. If she’s able to continue, she would be given the 16th and final seed.

think the Italian team served extremely well to the point that we couldn’t receive and didn’t run an of fense that was fast enough or good enough to beat their blocks. Give credit to them as far as service, defense. They played great.”

With their fans wildly cheering, the Italians went up 13-9 in the third when Stanley’s serve sailed out.

“In sport, as in life, you show how strong you are when being strong is the only option you have. We had only one option tonight. We knew it and I think we were ready for that,” Italian coach Mauro Berruto said.

The U.S. went 4-1 in the preliminary round to capture the top seed going into the quarter finals. The Americans beat top-ranked Brazil 3-1 in a rematch of the Brazil finals, but lost in five sets to Russia — ending an 11-match winning streak in Olympic play, dating to Beijing.

hopes, as well.

Bryant silenced his critics and broke open a tight game with six 3-pointers in the second half Wednesday night as the U.S. advanced to the semifinals of the London Games with a 119-86 victory over Australia.

“Somebody made him mad. I could see it in his eyes,” American Kevin Durant said. “I wanted him to kind of turn it on and that’s what he did.”

On a night when LeBron James had a triple-double, the story was Bryant’s awakening from his Olympic slumber. The fivetime NBA champion has even said this team could have beaten the Dream Team, and on the 20th anniversary of that squad’s gold medal win, he put on the kind of

SCOREBOARD

Crain was a late replacement on the U.S. team for Arielle Martin, who was hospitalized after a crash during a final training run on July 30 in California.

Latvian rider Edzus Treimanis also went down on the track at the same spot, falling face first.

SAILING The U.S. was shut out of Olympic sailing medals for the first time since 1936 when women’s match racing skipper Anna Tunnicliffe was beaten in the quarterfinals by Finland.

Tunnicliffe, who was born in England and moved to the United States when she was 12, was the only remaining American with a chance for a medal.

While the Americans underperformed, the Australians continued to pile up victories.

The 49er crew of Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen sailed three laps of honor to collect the gold medal they had clinched two days earlier.

BOXING Middleweight Claressa Shields dominated Kazakhstan’s Marina Volnova in the semifinals of the first Olympic women’s tournament, earning a spot in the title bout against Russia’s Nadezda Torlopova.

After pounding away at the slower Volnova for most of the 29-15 fight, the 17year-old Shields pounded her taped right fist against her own left shoulder and screamed with joy.

Shields is the last American boxer left in London after flyweight Marlen Esparza lost 10-8 to Chinese world champion Ren Cancan an hour earlier. Ren will fight Britain’s Nicola Adams for the flyweight title.

On the men’s side, Mongolia’s MunkhErdene Uranchimeg pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the tournament, stunning second-seeded light welterweight Tom Stalker of Britain with a 23-22 victory.

Yamaguchi Falcao of Brazil also had a surprising victory, beating top-seeded Cuban light heavyweight Julio La Cruz 18-15.

WATER POLO The U.S. men’s team was eliminated with an 8-2 quarterfinal loss to unbeaten Croatia.

The Croats jumped to a 5-0 lead by halftime with ferocious defense on one end of the pool and efficient shooting on the other.

The Americans clawed back to 5-2 halfway through the third quarter, but Miho Boskovic responded for Croatia with his second goal before Sandro Sukno added another with four seconds left in the period.

Croatia next faces Montenegro, which beat Spain 11-9 to reach its second straight Olympic semifinal. Italy plays gold medalfavorite Serbia in the other semi.

Italy upset three-time defending champion Hungary 11-9 to reach the final four.

CANOE SPRINT Germany’s 500-meter K-4 team lost an Olympic final for the first time since the 1992 Barcelona Games, falling to a Hungarian quartet looking to spring an upset after second-place finishes at the last three Summer Games.

It also meant Hungary finished the first day of finals at the canoe sprint regatta with the upper hand over Germany in their headto-head competition in the event’s medals table.

Hungary’s other gold came in the men’s 1,000-meter K-2, although there was a 20second wait before the result of a photo finish with a fast-finishing Portugal was relayed to the teams and the crowd of about 20,000 at Dorney Lake.

Germany claimed its first gold of the competition when European champion Sebastian Brendel won the 1,000-meter C-

1, and Eirik Veras Larsen of Norway produced a late surge to capture the men’s kayak 1,000 meters.

WRESTLING - FREESTYLE Japan won a pair of women’s freestyle wrestling events, with Kaori Icho taking the 63-kilogram division and Hitomi Obara finishing on top of the 48-kg category.

Icho became the first Japanese woman to capture the same event in three straights Olympics. She beat Jing Ruixue of China 30, 2-0 to extend her winning streak to 72 matches.

Obara rallied to beat Mariya Stadnyk of Azerbaijan 0-4, 1-0, 2-0. Carol Huynh of Canada and Clarissa Chun won bronze, with Chun giving the U.S. its first wrestling medal of the London Games.

DIVING China’s Chen Ruolin led the women’s 10-meter platform preliminaries, with the teenager trying to add a gold medal in the individual event to the one she won in platform synchro.

Chen totaled 392.35 points during five rounds. She is the defending champion in the individual event, and won both 10-meter titles four years ago in Beijing when she was 15.

China has won five of six diving golds so far in London, including the women’s 10meter synchronized title taken by Chen and Wang Hao. The country’s attempt to sweep all eight golds was spoiled when Ilya Zakharov of Russia won the men’s 3-meter springboard Tuesday.

Bryant scored all of his 20 points after halftime, finally delivering the kind of game expected of him in London.

He had insisted his time would come, and none of his teammates ever doubted it.

“I kind of knew what button to push with him. I was talking to him at halftime and in the third quarter and I guess I pushed the button. He woke up and to see that, I’ve been on the other side of the ball and had that situation before,” teammate Carmelo Anthony said.

Bryant, a top-five scorer in NBA history, brushed away Anthony’s attempts to take credit as easily as the questions he’s been hearing in London.

United States. “We are always aware of what the medal count is. I know track and field can close that, let the world know the Americans are the best track and field country.”

Felix won easily, leaving nothing to chance — or a coin flip — as she burst ahead of Fraser -Pryce with 40 meters to go.

It was the third-place tie in 100-meter qualify-

ing at U.S. trials earlier this summer that hovered over Felix’s run-up to these Olympics — forcing her to defend herself off the track for the first time in an otherwise-pristine career.

Her tie with Jeneba Tarmoh for the third and final spot in the 100 forced USA T rack and Field officials to scramble for a solution. One possibility was a coin flip; instead, they settled on a run-of f. But T ar moh begged off. Felix, never a serious medal contender

for the 100, had to defend her decision not to give up the spot, and she went on to finish fifth.

The three heats in the Olympic 100, she said, were the perfect tuneup for the race she really wanted to win.

“Everyone just expected me to give up this spot, because I think lots of people ... know me and they know that I’m seen as this very nice girl,” Felix said with a chuckle a few days before the start of track and field in London. “But it’s not just

about me.”

On this night, though, it was.

Twice before, Felix came into the Olympics on even footing, or even a slight favorite, against Campbell-Brown. Both times, the American ended up disappointed — and the last time in Beijing, choking back tears, she called it “deja vu, and not in a good way.”

This time, there would be no regrets.

On a calm, cloudless evening in London, Felix broke out of Lane 7,

hugged the line on the curve and found herself slightly behind Fraser Pryce as they rounded into the straightaway with about 60 meters to go.

That, however, is when Felix — not the 100-meter champion — kicked it into another gear, drawing even and then pulling away.

She adds this gold to the two individual silvers and one 4x400 relay gold from the 2008 Olympics.

She’s a six-time national champion at 200, a threetime world champion and

“End” is overwhelmed and angry right now because her husband expects so much from her. This isn’t his fault. It is normal for someone with brain cancer. If no one else is stepping up to give her the breaks she so desperately needs, then she must consider her own well-being.

Loved ones will appreciate being asked to help in tangible ways. I urge her to take a drive or go out to lunch and leave the caretaking to a trusted friend for an hour or two. Her husband does not realize the enormous burden she carries. When she’s at her

DEAR ABBY: Our dad was ill for a number of years with Alzheimer’s. We are a large family of siblings, but most lived away from our hometown. Though we were fortunate to have in-home care, the day-to-day management fell to me and one of my sisters.

As the oldest, I took it upon myself to write a straightforward letter to my siblings regarding Dad’s condition and the progression of his illness. Then I assigned consecutive weekends to each one, telling them this was their weekend to come, spend time with Dad and help with his care. I said they were free to trade weekends among themselves, but the expectation was that Dad would have his family with him every weekend until he passed.

It worked pretty well, with most siblings taking the responsibility seriously and as a chance to express their love and gratitude to Dad in his last days.

Dear Readers: Autumn is the perfect time for renovations. Whether replacing ceiling fans, reorganizing cabinets or adjusting curtains, a step stool is helpful and practical. Lots of people have purchased collapsible or folding step stools to save space.

The dangers of these stools need to be taken into consideration. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recently released a report noting that some of the stools might collapse or break during use. Here are some recommendations from the CPSC about how to buy a safe step stool: * Make sure the stool is sturdy.

Ask to see a demonstration of the stability of the stool, or ask if you can try it out yourself. * Look for stools with a handrail.

It’s only CPSC-recommended if you can stand on the top step and still have a firm grasp on the handrail. * When using your step stool, try to have someone nearby in case you need help. Check that the stool is completely opened and stable on a dry, flat surface.

Research the products you are thinking about buying, and ask about recalls or CPSC approval before buying a new stool.

Dear Heloise: Here is my “system” regarding receipts: I have file folders in a drawer (a box also will do). I place each receipt in the appropriate folder, labeled “auto expenses,” “groceries,” “household,” “medical,” etc. If I can’t remember where I got a grocery item I liked, I can go to “groceries” and find it immediately.

If I got several different items at the same store, I just make copies and file them. It also is very helpful at tax time to separate the items necessary for preparing taxes.

Shuttle Endeavour to embark on two-day road trip Roswell Daily Record

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Space shuttle Endeavour once zoomed through the cosmos at 17,500 mph. But its final journey will be a crawl through the streets of Los Angeles at 2 mph.

The giant spaceship will creep to its new home at the California Science Center in October, officials said Wednesday. Hundreds of trees, power lines and street lights will be pulled down to make way.

“You’re never going to see a space shuttle going down the street again,” said science center President Jeffrey N. Rudolph.

The earthbound trip will take the 170,000-pound

orbiter 12 miles from the LAX airport through Inglewood and into the city of Los Angeles where the museum just south of downtown will place it on display.

The shuttle is as fragile as it is gigantic. Its tail is 58 feet tall. And it has a 78-foot wingspan. But its heatresistant nose tiles can be cracked by a fingernail, according to NASA officials.

It will cost about $25 million to prepare and move the shuttle without damaging it, Rudolph said.

The two-day road trip will start Oct. 12. Four self-propelled, wheeled vehicles linked by computer will roll it through the streets as a

controller walks along guiding them with a joystick.

Endeavour’s return to California will mark a homecoming. It was assembled in Palmdale, northeast of Los Angeles. And its first mission ended at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert.

Endeavour completed its 25th mission last year. It was delivered to NASA in 1991 and was the final shuttle built, replacing Challenger, which was destroyed on launch in 1986.

The ship will be placed atop a Boeing 747 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a piggyback ride to Los Angeles, arriving on Sept. 20 if weather permits,

Thursday, August 9, 2012

officials said.

The jetliner is expected to ceremoniously fly around Southern California landmarks, but the route is still under discussion and details were not confirmed, Rudolph said.

The science center estimated the cost at about $200 million to build a special climate-controlled exhibition gallery for the shuttle, which will go on display Oct. 30.

Most of the money and work was donated.

“It will be a testament to what humanity can achieve with science and technology,” said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

Seeking hardier breeds for drought, climate change

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Cattle are being bred with genes from their African cousins who are accustomed to hot weather. New corn varieties are emerging with larger roots for gathering water in a drought. Someday, the plants may even be able to “resurrect” themselves after a long dry spell, recovering quickly when rain returns.

Across American agriculture, farmers and crop scientists have concluded that it’s too late to fight climate change. They need to adapt to it with a new generation of hardier animals and plants specially engineered to survive, and even thrive, in intense heat, with little rain.

“The single largest limitation for agriculture worldwide is drought,” said Andrew Wood, a professor of plant physiology and molecular biology at Southern Illinois University.

On his Kansas farm, Clay Scott is testing a new kind of corn called Droughtguard as his region suffers through a second consecutive growing season with painfully scarce precipitation.

“These are products I really need,” Scott said. “I couldn’t be any happier that they are working on these products.”

The urgency is also evident in Texas, where rainfall has been below normal since 1996. Crops and pastures were decimated in 2011 by a searing drought, and some

The damage would be much worse without the crop science advancements of the last 40 years, said Andrew Wood, a professor of plant physiology and molecular biology at Southern Illinois University.

“This year’s just terrible, but 20 years ago these crops would have been completely burned up,” said Scott, who also grows wheat and raises cattle in Ulysses, Kan. “This year we’re going to grow a decent crop even with drought.”

Weather forecasters are working on their own climate-adaptation strategies, with the goal of helping farmers choose which crops to plant and when.

Eventually, meteorologists might be able to offer more precise seasonal forecasts that predict the number of days of continuous rain or days suitable for fieldwork.

“These are the kinds of things that have a disproportionately large influence on farming,” said Gene Takle, director of Iowa State University’s Climate Science Program.

The National Weather Service predicted months in advance that June and July would be hot and dry in Iowa, Takle said.

“What could we have said back in March that would have given farmers some actionable information to cope with this?” he said.

Cattle rancher Ron Gill looks over his herd as he checks his livestock's grazing pasture in rural Wise County near Boyd, Texas, Aug. 1. Gill has been cross breeding cattle with more drought tolerant breeds that can withstand heat and droughts better. Cattle are being bred with genes from their African cousins who are accustomed to hot weather.

got hit again this year.

Ranchers have sold off many animals they couldn’t graze or afford to feed. Cattle inventory, at 97.8 million head as of July 1, is the smallest since the U.S. Department of Agriculture began a July count in 1973.

Ron Gill, a rancher who also heads the animal science department at Texas A&M University, said research has been under way for years to develop cattle that can withstand heat and grow on lower-quality forage.

Last year, he started incorporating into his herd Beef-

It’s no different for farmers in the nation’s Corn Belt, who are confronting a drought that stretches from Ohio west to California and from Texas north to the Dakotas. Only in the 1930s and the 1950s has a drought covered more of the U.S., according to the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.

DANIEL WAGNER AP BUSINESS WRITER U.S. stocks are closing mixed as uneven corporate ear nings and concerns about Europe stem a recent market rally.

Several consumer goods companies said Wednesday that weak demand in Europe is cutting into their revenue. That followed worrisome reports from England, France and Germany about the pace of growth in those countries.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed up seven points at 13,176. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose a fraction to 1,402. The Nasdaq composite index fell five to 3,011.

The Dow had risen 290 points over the previous three trading days. T rading on Wednesday was more tentative as investors absorbed companies’ warnings about weakening demand.

Rising and falling stocks were roughly even on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was lighter than average at 3.2 billion shares.

Manning makes his Denver debut at Chicago ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning is about to face his first pass rush in 579 days.

The four -time MVP makes his Denver Broncos debut in the preseason opener at Chicago today. If he has an extra pep in his step or anticipates a larger than usual adrenaline rush against the Bears, he’s not showing it.

He insists it’s simply the next steppingstone in his comeback in Denver (No. 10 in the AP Pro32) after missing all of last season with a nerve injury in his neck that weakened his throwing arm and led to his tearful farewell from the Indianapolis Colts.

He’d like to face some challenging situations during his cameo appearance at Soldier Field, and if he happens to get hit, he’s certain he can bounce right back up.

Broncos boss John Elway and Denver’s coaches will certainly cringe whenever that first big blast comes, but durability is really the only question mark left with Manning.

His arm strength and pinpoint accuracy are back.

Manning’s comeback is the biggest story line in the league heading into the 2012 season.

“It’s great for him and he’s great for the NFL,” Bears linebacker Lance Briggs said.

“With the things he’s done, he’s one of the great quarterbacks in the history of the game. I’ll just be happy he’s in the AFC, still.”

This will be Manning’s first game since the Pro Bowl following the 2010 season and his first with a pass rush to contend with since the Colts lost to the New York Jets in the AFC wild-card round on Jan. 8, 2011.

Bears coach Lovie Smith isn’t going to have his guys go easy on Manning.

“You don’t play the game to hurt anybody at any time, but it’s a physical football game,” Smith said. “Our pass rushers want to get to the quarterback, whoever he is. I started with Peyton Manning his first year at Tennessee; we’ve known each other for a long time. I’m happy to see him back out there on the football field, but we need to

play well against them.”

Manning wouldn’t want it any other way, and neither would his coach, John Fox. “For the record, we’re not going to hold back on them, either,” Fox said.

The Broncos-Bears game is the highlight of the first full slate of exhibitions spread out over five days. It also marks the reunion of Bears stars Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall, who haven’t played together since spending their first three pro seasons in Denver.

Meanwhile, Caleb Hanie returns to Chicago (No. 11, AP Pro32), where he was Cutler’s backup for three years.

All eyes are on Manning, though — even Cutler’s.

“I think everyone is” eager to see Manning, Cutler said. “Caleb’s out there, and he says everything looks great, that Peyton looks great. It will be interesting to see how much carry-over offensively they brought over from Indy, how the new receivers are doing. There are a lot of question marks over there, but Peyton’s Peyton. He’s going to be on top of things, and I’m sure he’s going to look fine.”

Manning, who figures to get fewer than six quarters of work in the preseason, revealed no emotion over his much-anticipated return to action this week.

“I’ve always said you love to get a bit of everything in the preseason if you can,” Manning said. “You love to get some shortyardage work, some third-down conversions. You’d love to get some red zone, goal line.”

Rookie quarterback Brock Osweiler said he doesn’t detect any anxiousness in Manning behind the scenes, either.

“He’s been around a long time and he’s played in a lot of football games,” Osweiler said. “He’ll be ready to go. He understands what kind of mentality you have to go into a game with and how you need to prepare for that, and I think he’s done a tremendous job.

“I’m sure No. 18 will be ready to roll.”

STATE OF NEW MEXICO COUNTY OF CHAVES FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

Jil Barrientos Petitioner

One Chicago player who’s particularly eager to see Manning is cornerback Tim Jennings, who used to play in Indianapolis.

“When I first got in the league, I thought I wasn’t that good, when I was there. He just makes you feel that way,” Jennings said.

“He had a lot of guys around him: Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, Brandon Stokley.

And I came in there and it just kind of made me feel smaller than what I was. But I just had to realize I was going against a lot of Hall of Famers for the future.”

Manning’s pocket awareness and quick release make him hard to hit. He’s averaged just 13 takedowns over his last three seasons, whereas his predecessor, Tim Tebow,

was sacked 33 times in just 11 starts last year.

So, the Bears will have their work cut out for them even though Manning’s pocket of protection is unlikely to include right-side starters Chris Kuper, coming off knee surgery, and Orlando Franklin, recently cleared from a concussion.

“I know a lot of guys want to be able to get their hands on him,” Jennings said.

“Hopefully we can get to him quicker than anybody else can. But we don’t want to put him in any danger or anything like that. It’s preseason. We just want to go out there and compete, and hopefully if their line protects well, then they shouldn’t have a problem.”
