Democrat King lags in New Mexico governor’s race

SANTA FE (AP) — After a summer of bruising television ads in New Mexico’s race for governor, Democrat Gary King remains optimistic he can close the gap in an uphill challenge against Republican incumbent Susana Martinez.

The two-term attorney general trailed Martinez by 9 percentage points in a recent poll and lags far behind in fundraising. But King is undaunted.

“We weathered a million dollars’ worth of negative ads, and we’re still within striking range in the polls,” King said in an interview.

Martinez and the Republican Governors Association unloaded on King with a barrage of TV ads within days after he won the Democratic nomination in June.

Now the general election is rapidly approaching, with absentee voting to start in a little over a

month on Oct. 7.

Martinez leads the race with 50 percent of likely voters backing her, according to a poll commissioned by the Albuquerque Journal. King was favored by 41 percent and 9 percent were undecided in the midAugust survey.

Albuquerque pollster Brian Sanderof f, whose firm conducted the poll, said King faces a difficult task.

“When the front runner is already at 50 percent, you need to get the lion’s share of the undecided plus take away some votes from the front-runner. That’s Gary King’s challenge,” said Sanderof f “That takes money. That’s going to take some hard-hitting ads that hit the nail on the head and resonate with New Mexicans why they should vote for Gary King and not for Susana Martinez.”

To that end, King has launched and aired an ad focusing on some of the dominant themes of his campaign — improving schools by scrapping Martinez administration policies and expanding early childhood education to start reversing New Mexico’s dismal national ranking in child well-being.

On the campaign trail, King also stresses the need to revitalize the economy,

which until recently has been losing jobs.

Martinez continues to pound away at King, including his vote for a hefty budget-balancing tax increase package when he was a legislator, and she touts her administration’s accomplishments. The gover nor points to a higher graduation rate as a sign of school improvement. She See KING, Page A3

RSO kicks off season with free Labor Day concert Monday

The percussion section of the Roswell Symphony Orchestra performs during one of Czech composer Antonín Leopold Dvorák’s Slavic dances. Dvorák became famous in America and was strongly influenced by African-American music from the rural South. The free concert at Spring River Zoo & Park on Labor Day kicked off the symphony’s 2014-15 season.

The Roswell Symphony kicked off its 2014-15 with a free Labor Day concert at Spring River Park & Zoo. Maestro John Farrar conducted and Mayor Dennis Kintigh served as master of ceremonies.

In honor of Labor Day, the concert featured several selections by American composers including Aaron Copeland and John Phillip Sousa, known as “The March King.”

Nearly 50 musicians performed on a stage that folded out from a trailer while around 300 people sat in shaded areas of the park to hear a live symphony concert.

The concert opened with Copeland’s “Fanfare for the Common Man,” which was debuted by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in 1943.

At its opening, critics said the fanfare, with its pounding percussion and blaring trumpets, inspired

the same kind of nationalism that inspires wars.

The piece was written, however, as a tribute to the common working man and the American soldiers who were defending freedom during the Second World War. Now in its 55th year, the RSO draws musician from Roswell and a 200-mile radius around the city.

The concerts are held at Pearson Auditorium on the New Mexico Military Institute campus.

Guest violist Alexi Kenney per forms at an autumn-themed concert on Oct. 4.

Maestro John Farrar will lead a per formance of Christmas classics on Dec. 7.

Bassoonist Dr. Richard Meek will be featured at a concert titled “A Cupid Connection” on Feb. 14.

Pianist Ko-Eun Yi wraps up the RSO’s 2014-15 season on April 11 with a spring-themed concert.

Economy calls for higher wages Santa Fe schools to launch tech program

MILWAUKEE (AP) — President Barack Obama renewed his push for Congress to raise the minimum wage Monday in a buoyant accounting of the economy’s “revving” per for mance, delivered on behalf of Democrats opening their fall campaigns for the midter m congressional elections.

“America deserves a raise,” he told a union crowd in Milwaukee, vowing to keep a hard sell on Congress in much the way he once courted his wife. “I just wore her down,” he cracked.

Timing his push to Labor Day, the traditional start of the autumn campaign, Obama aggressively drew attention to recent economic gains, setting aside past caution on that subject.

“By almost every measure the American economy and American workers are better off than when I took office,” he said, rattling off a string of improving economic indicators even while acknowledging not all people are benefiting. “The engines,” he said, “are revving a little louder.”

It was, at least indirectly, a pep talk for Democrats facing tough races in a nation still gripped with economic anxieties.

The emphasis on the minimum wage is designed to draw campaign contrasts with Republicans, many of whom maintain that an increase would hurt small businesses and slow down hiring. No one expects Con-

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Students at one Santa Fe elementary school will soon share about 250 iPads as the school district takes a first step toward launching a $55 million plan to provide each of its 14,000 students with a digital device over the next five years.

The district is contracting with Apple Inc. and Pearson PLC, an educational services company that pro-

vides a curriculum on the devices. It’s also working with IT Connect Inc., a local company that will provide the hardware, software and other support.

The district plans to implement the technological infrastructure needed to use the iPads at a gradual pace of six or seven schools per year, The New Mexican reported Monday.

gress to act on it before the November elections.

Despite the absence of a federal increase, 13 states raised their minimum wages at the beginning of this year. Those states have added jobs at a faster pace than those that did not raise the wage, providing a counterpoint to a Congressional Budget Office report earlier this year that projected that a higher minimum wage of $10.10 an hour could cost the nation 500,000 jobs.

Until now, Obama and his White House aides had been reluctant to draw too much attention to positive economic trends, worried that some may prove illusory or that, even if they hold, many working Americans continue to live on the edge

of poverty and take no comfort in the upswing.

But in Milwaukee, Obama dared to say of the job picture, “We’re on a streak.”

White House aides still insist they are not declaring full victory over the lingering effects of a recession that ended five years ago.

But White House officials believe it is time to highlight recent improvements, in part to strengthen a difficult political environment for Democrats and to counter public perceptions that are eroding the president’s public approval. Officials say Obama’s most compelling case is to compare the economy now to what he inherited in 2009 See WAGES, Page A3

No gray area: Beliefs shape views of Brown killing

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Lamont Jones and Keith Stephens stood 60 feet from each other, separated by four lanes of pavement and a thousand miles of perception.

Stephens was wearing a T -shirt printed with a police shield bearing the phrase “OFFICER DARREN WILSON I STAND BY YOU,“ as part of a rally supporting the white policeman who killed 18-year -old Michael Brown, who was unarmed. Jones was across the street, holding up a sign that said, in blood-red letters: “Darren Wilson is a Murderer.“ There was no overlap in the facts as seen by Jones and Stephens at the demonstrations staged a few miles from suburban Ferguson, where Brown was killed. Like many who have closely followed the case, which sparked riots and yet another national racial conflagration, Jones and Stephens had made up their minds.

Like uncounted numbers of Americans, they saw no gray area in the killing of Michael Brown.

Many are convinced there was no justification

for Wilson to kill Brown because he was unarmed.

Many others are certain it was justifiable because they believe Brown threatened Wilson.

Not everyone is so sure.

In a CBS News/New York Times poll, 64 percent of respondents said they did not know enough to say whether the shooting was justified. Only about half of respondents said they had paid “a lot“ of attention to the case.

But the national furor over Ferguson is fueled by those with strong opinions.

They are the people still marching, or calling Brown a thug, or demanding that Wilson be convicted, or implying that Brown deserved his death.

Such strong opinions can often be influenced by “confirmation bias,“ psychologists say. A large body of research shows that people search for evidence to support their preexisting viewpoints — and then interpret that information in a way that reinforces their beliefs.

“It's the tendency to seek out and give greater weight to information that confirms what we think rather

than contradicts it,“ said Scott Plous, a psychology professor at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.

Confir mation bias seemed to be running rampant at the dueling demonstrations.

About 100 Wilson backers, nearly all of them white, gathered outside of Barney's Sports Pub in St. Louis late last month, brandishing signs like “Heroes Have A Right To Protect Themselves.“ A multiracial group of about a dozen Brown supporters stood across the street.

Passing drivers honked in support of one side or the other, screamed obscenities, or raised middle fingers out of windows.

Jones stalked the sidewalk with a silent, smoldering gaze. Asked why his sign called Wilson a murderer, he said Brown was unar med and was shot with his hands up.

What about the police statement that Brown tried to grab Wilson's weapon?

“Where his witnesses at?“ Jones demanded. “(Brown) ran away. He was unarmed.“ “Use a stun gun. Taser,“ Jones added. “The facts

are, Darren Wilson fired a multitude of six shots into an 18-year -old, who was unarmed. Two shots in the arm, the rest in the head and upper torso.“ An autopsy by the Brown family said Brown was hit with four shots in the arm and two in the head.

Might any information emerge that could change Jones' mind?

“No,“ Jones said, gaze steady. “Not at all.“ His parting shot: “Unarmed!“ Across the street, questions about the case were met with a different selection of facts.

People at the Wilson rally brought up the arrest record of Dorian Johnson, the first witness, who said Brown was shot in the back (autopsies indicate the bullets hit him from the front) and with his hands up.

They were quick to mention two unverified accounts that provided support for those who argue Brown rushed toward the officer.

No mention was made of the other three witnesses — T if fany Mitchell, Piaget Crenshaw and James McKnight — who also said they

STATE BRIEFS Albuquerque attorney accused of $130K embezzlement

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Albuquerque police have issued an arrest warrant for an attorney accused of embezzling $130,000 from his client.

Police spokesman Tanner Tixier says white collar crime detectives have been unable to find Cody Kelley.

The victim told authorities that Kelly represented him when he won a settlement in a lawsuit against the City of Gallup for damages to his restaurant.

T ixier says the settlement money was sent to Kelley in the form of four separate checks. The money was to be disbursed to the victim for restaurant repairs.

Authorities say the checks were put into Kelley’s bank account and the money spent within three months.

Kelley faces arrest for embezzlement involving more than $20,000.

Anyone with information regarding Kelley’s whereabouts is asked to call police.

Surveillance video shows then-Officer John Robins slamming Martin’s head into a brick wall July 2 while booking him into the detention center for a probation violation.

Martin names Robins, another officer, the detention center and its administrator, Tom Havel, as defendants.

A message left for Havel seeking comment was not immediately returned Sunday.

Martin is requesting unspecified compensation.

Native network to open first school in

FARMINGTON (AP) — The first school in a newly created education network that focuses on New Mexico’s Native American communities is set to open this week in Shiprock.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that the Dream Dine Charter School will open its doors Tuesday behind the Shiprock Chapter House.

Officials say the school is starting out with two kindergarten classes and one first-grade class. They plan to add a grade each school year with the last being eighth grade.

The Native American Community Academy in Albuquerque established the school as part of its NACA-Inspired Schools Network.

Officials say the goal is for the network to operate 10 schools in the next three years.

saw Brown's hands up.

None of those witnesses described Brown rushing toward the officer.

Wilson's supporters mentioned that Brown stole a box of cigars from a store and roughly shoved the clerk minutes before he encountered Wilson.

“That'd say something about your character, right? And then you might start a fight with a cop?“ said a plumber who gave his name as James Edwards.

Edwards mentioned a report, based on anonymous sources, that Wilson's orbital eye socket was fractured. But what about another anonymously sourced report that there was no fracture?

“I don't know if it's true or not. It makes no difference. He had facial wounds when he was hit. He was 100 percent right to shoot,“ Edwards said, as a passing driver honked in solidarity.

Stephens, one of many people wearing the Wilson badge T -shirts selling for $20, said that if Brown grabbed Wilson's weapon and assaulted him, “that gives him every right to shoot him.“

At first Stephens said he could see a gray area in the case because there was so much unconfirmed information circulating. Then he said, “If we assume this officer's account is accurate, there is no gray area in the state of Missouri,“ meaning he believed what Wilson did was legal under state law.

Did he assume Wilson's account was accurate?

“Yeah, I do,“ Stephens said.

Several witnesses described Brown breaking away from Wilson and running away. They recalled the officer firing shots at the fleeing Brown, and then Brown stopping.

The crucial question is what happened next.

The rallying cry of “Hands Up, Don't Shoot“ has become a power ful symbol of Brown's death.

But could “Hands Up“ be more myth than fact?

Alternatively, could Wilson, facing possible criminal charges over his decision to shoot, have exaggerated Brown's aggression, shading his statement of facts about what hap-

Let’s shed a little light on this complex subject. As your Realtor can tell you, here is a guideline. A fixture is former personal property that has been permanently attached to the land or structure, (by bolting, nailing, screwing or cementing). Fixtures permanently attached

So what about that lovely dining room chandelier? Strictly speaking, when it was bought, it was personal property.

Parents of ill UK boy fight extradition from Spain Roswell Daily Record

LONDON (AP) — The parents say they want to give their 5 year-old-boy with a brain tumor the best chance to live with a revolutionary new treatment they learned about on the Internet. Their British hospital says the boy has a 70 percent to 80 percent chance of survival with the treatment it offers, and it’s the parents who are putting the child at risk.

Britain has become riveted by the case of little Ashya King, whose parents plucked him from a hospital in souther n England and fled to Spain amid a dispute over treatment — with British justice close on the family’s heels.

Brett and Naghemeh King signaled Monday they would fight extradition, defying doctors and the legal system as a British court considers a ruling on forcing the family to come home.

“We’re bringing businesses down to Santa Teresa. We have a business park that is busting at the seams. We have a lot of really good things happening, but that’s because we’re not growing gover nment,” Martinez said in a recent interview. “If you have a large gover nment, you will have a small economy. If you have a small government that meets the needs of the people, you will have a thriving and healthy economy because we’re not constantly dipping into the taxpayers’ pocket to maintain the gover nment.”

“I’m not coming back to England if I cannot give him the treatment I want, which is proper treatment,” Brett King said as he cradled the child in a video posted before his arrest. “I just want positive results for my son.”

The Kings are seeking a new type of proton beam radiation therapy that typically costs at least $33,000.

The Southampton General Hospital says that more conventional methods have a very high chance of succeeding. It said that while proton beam therapy is effective for some tumors, in other cases “there isn’t evidence that this is a beneficial treatment.”

Walker also greeted the labor leaders accompanying Obama, including Mary Kay Henry of the Services Employees International Union and Leo Gerard of the United Steelworkers Union.

The White House is encouraging Democrats to draw attention to the recovery as they head into the November mid-term elections.

In an August memo to House and Senate Democrats, Obama’s top two economic advisers underscored the positive news: more than 200,000 jobs created per month for six consecutive months, a sixyear high in auto sales, second-quarter economic growth that exceeded expectations and an expanding manufacturing sector.

The unemployment rate stands at 6.2 percent, Private sector jobs grew 0.8 percent in the 12 months ending in July, according to the latest state labor report. However, government employment fell 0.4 percent over the year — with most of the losses at the federal and local levels. New Mexico depends heavily on federal spending and the economy has suffered because of national government cutbacks.

Another challenge for King is fundraising.

The Martinez campaign had cash-on-hand of $4.3 million, according to a July financial disclosure, while King reported a balance of $116,000.

King has relied on personal money to fuel his campaign, pumping almost $541,000 into the race through the end of June — accounting for more than two-fifths of his total receipts.

British authorities traveled to Spain to question the couple. Assistant Chief Constable Chris Shead, of Hampshire Constabulary, has said he would rather be criticized for being “proactive” rather than trying to explain later “why a child has lost his life.”

The hospital’s medical director, Dr. Michael Marsh, issued a statement late Monday saying that the treatment was discussed with the family.

He put the chances of Ashya surviving under the hospital’s treatment at 70 percent to 80 percent after five years. He expressed sadness that communication with the family had broken down and that “for whatever reason they have lost confidence in us.” dropping 1.1 points over the past year, and the stock market has nearly tripled in five years.

Even so, there is still significant weakness in the labor market, underscored by the long-ter m unemployed. Labor participation has dropped as well. Real hourly wages fell from the first half of 2013 to the first half of 2014 for all income groups, except for a 2-cent increase for the lowest income level, according to the liberal Economic Policy Institute.

Americans seem caught between confidence and worry.

In July, the Conference Board’s consumer confidence index rose to its highest reading since October 2007, two months before the Great Recession began. But a new survey by Rutgers University found that Americans are more anxious about the economy now than they were right after the recession ended.

King maintains he’ll have enough money to be competitive with Martinez but said, “I don’t think that I have to spend dollar for dollar with the governor.”

According to the Journal poll, Martinez is backed by a fifth of Democrats, 36 percent of Hispanics and more than half of independents.

King’s task is to stop the erosion among those voters.

“It’s a serious horse race. We’re rounding the curve. We’re getting to the stretch,” said King. “I am where I always thought I should and could be by this point in time. If you’re the challenger it’s always your job to catch up and the important day to catch up on is Election Day.”

Ethicists say the case is unprecedented, and has raised questions of how much power authorities should have in interfering with the will of parents in questions of life and death.

While there have been many previous legal tussles over terminal illness issues, there have been few regarding questions over which treatment should be followed.

Even Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokesman weighed in on Monday, saying people all over the country have been moved by the family’s plight.

These kinds of cases normally result from a communication breakdown, said Penney Lewis, professor of law and a medical ethics expert at King’s College London. She said parents are typically only prosecuted when they fail to engage with the medical

care entirely and the child dies as a result.

Yet Lewis said that when the hospital-family relationship does break down, it does not have to end like this. The parents or hospital could have sought medi-

ation instead with a third party. “Not everything has to end up in court,” she said.

Television images have shown the Kings being loaded into a Spanish squad car in handcuffs.

WASHINGTON (AP) — As states liberalize their marijuana laws, public officials and safety advocates worry that more drivers high on pot will lead to a big increase in traffic deaths.

Researchers, though, are divided on the question.

Studies of marijuana’s effects show that the drug can slow decision-making, decrease peripheral vision and impede multitasking, all of which are critical driving skills. But unlike with alcohol, drivers high on pot tend to be aware that they are impaired and try to compensate by driving slowly, avoiding risky actions such as passing other cars, and allowing

extra room between vehicles.

On the other hand, combining marijuana with alcohol appears to eliminate the pot smoker’s exaggerated caution and seems to increase driving impairment beyond the effects of either substance alone.

“We see the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington as a wake-up call for all of us in highway safety,” said Jonathan Adkins, executive director of Governors Highway Safety Association, which represents state highway safety offices.

“We don’t know enough about the scope of marijuana-impaired driving to call

it a big or small problem.

But anytime a driver has their ability impaired, it is a problem.”

A will is more formally called a last will and testament. Wills are not living wills, since living wills deal with pulling life support plugs. Wills are not Living Trusts, and should be cheaper, but you can set up a cheap trust in a Will called a testamentary trust. Wills must be in writing, and witnessed by two persons, and wills ought to dispose of all assets and name someone to be in charge called a personal representative or executor.

Wills transfer assets titled in the name of the decedent. Wills should specify what happens when someone taking under the Will dies first, and the original Will must be available as opposed to copies. Wills can be used to appoint guardians of kids and incapacitated adults. OK, and that’s the first 10 minutes of Wills 101. What happens when there is

no will?

If you don’t own anything of substance then you don’t need a will. Nothing happens over nothing, and cars can be transferred without Wills at the NM Motor Vehicle Division. Throw in some money and everybody gets excited.

If you do own things, then you might be able to transfer assets upon your death without a will by the use of payable on death (POD) and transfer on death (TOD) arrangements at your bank or

with your broker. POD and TOD are safer than making a child a joint tenant with right of survivorship (JTWROS or JT). A Joint Tenant can close out an account because you have made them an owner.

Also, if your Joint Tenant has a legal problem then it might attach to your asset. There is no need to take this Joint Tenancy risk in most situations, and certainly not just because someone working at the bank told you so or just checked a box. You need to know how your assets are titled and understand the effect of titling.

On the other hand, a middle class husband and wife in love might as well be Joint Tenants since their legal problems are going to affect one another by virtue of the bonds of marriage.

Ah, marital bliss. What do I mean by “legal problems?“ Legal prob-

lems would be bankruptcy, auto accidents, addictions, lunacy, tax problems, disagreements with your Joint Tenant and plain, old thievery by your loving joint tenant.

Between husband and wife the legal remedy is divorce, but between mama and son it can be avoided by avoiding joint tenancy.

Just remember, if there is no Will then you can still see to it that people receive your assets through POD, TOD and JTWROS and that, excepting married folks, the former two methods are probably safer than the later since POD/TOD people have no real and attachable interest until after your death, and you can change the designation without telling the other party or needing their permission and signature.

If someone dies without a will and the asset is in his or her name

only, then it does not go to the state — that’s a rumor started by some guy selling wills or trusts.

Community property, that acquired during the marriage, goes to the spouse. Separate property, that brought into the marriage, received by gift or inherited, goes one-fourth to the spouse and three-forths to the children. With single folks, then it all goes to the children, unless there are none in which case it goes to the parents, then to siblings, and finally to nieces and nephews.

These rules are called “intestacy“ or the rules of dying without a Will, and the rules apply when there are no POD, TOD or JTWROS arrangements and no Will. The government only ends up with the asset if you die and no person ever shows up to claim the asset for seven years. Never seen that happen.

Labor costs weighing down Postal Service

There is even more bad financial news for the U.S. Postal Service, according to a report released last week by the agency's Office of Inspector General. In addition to sharply declining mail volume and significant required payments for retiree health care, the USPS is struggling with high workers' compensation costs.

The OIG's report noted that, while the Postal Service since 2008 has cut its workforce by about 172,000 employees — a 19 percent reduction — its workers' compensation costs have increased 35 percent. The Postal Service's average workers' compensation cost per employee work hour in fiscal year 2013 was $1.16 — nearly 60 percent higher than the private-sector rate, 73 cents.

The cost increases have been driven by an aging workforce, which is more prone to injury, a reduction in light-duty or limitedduty positions and cost-of-living increases.

The report also remarked that, while the number of new workers' compensation claims has dropped over the past few years, the number of fraudulent cases has increased. It cited several examples of fraud cases.

"One employee claimed she could not handle 10 pounds of weight and needed assistance with such activities as bathing, driving, laundry and going to the store," the OIG related. "However, the employee was observed at the gym participating in an exercise class, which involved the use of weight training exercises with a barbell, exercising on a treadmill and a stair machine."

The OIG estimated that the Postal Service could save $477 million per year by emulating practices utilized by private-sector businesses and state agencies, including capping the duration and amount of benefits, allowing the agency to settle or buy out cases, requiring injured employees to use a preferred network of physicians and use generic drugs, when available.

While the postal unions claim that the Postal Service's financial problems are chiefly due to a 2006 law that requires it to prepay its retiree health care obligations to the tune of about $5.5 billion a year (despite the fact that the USPS has defaulted on these payments repeatedly in recent years and is still losing billions of dollars), the OIG's latest report underscores that labor costs, along with the shift to digital communication, are driving the Postal Service's financial problems.

Based on the most recent annual financial reports, the Postal Service spends 78 percent of its total operating expenses on labor costs, such as wages and benefits (76 percent if you ignore the retiree health care payment). Compare that with the 59 percent rate at UPS, which is unionized, or the 39 percent rate of FedEx, which is nonunion.

Moreover, various studies have shown that Postal Service employees earn 20 percent to 30 percent more than their privatesector counterparts. This is on top of benefits that exceed not only those in the private sector, but even those for other federal workers.

To be sure, relieving the Postal Service of rules that tie its hands and drive up its costs would be a step in the right direction.

An even better reform would be to relieve it of its monopoly over first-class mail and allow competition to determine the best ways of delivering the mail.

What to do with War on Terror surplus?

BY BOB HAGAN GUEST COLUMNIST

Now that even President Obama has noticed the Imperial Storm Trooper syndrome spreading through our law enforcement agencies, maybe we can start talking about how to rid ourselves of all that expensive military surplus hardware the Pentagon has been handing out.

A young friend who served a tour in Iraq managing a motor pool recently explained to me why the Army was so eager to unload all those heavilyar mored white elephants: “maintenance and maneuverability.”

The battle to overcome the IED threat in Iraq and Afghanistan makes a fascinating case study in the symbiotic evolution of opposing weapons systems, ongoing since the first man learned to tie his sharp rock to a stick and the other guy started stacking his rocks to make a wall.

What started with the troops jury-rigging steel plates

to their humvees to defend against artillery shells buried in the roadway continued with a crash program to develop ever more “mine resistant” vehicles, while the jihadis responded by building bigger and more sophisticated bombs.

With the final generation of mine-resistant vehicles, we arrived at an evolutionary dead end: nearly invulnerable armored behemoths too heavy to venture off the main paved roads and too clumsy to maneuver through narrow city streets. (The dinosaurs made the same mistake.)

This left the Ar my with parking lots full of useless iron that proved to be as expensive to keep as it had been to buy. The MRAPs came in so many shapes, sizes and models that they were a maintenance nightmare. It was like owning a fleet of custom-built sports cars.

But because scrapping billions of dollars worth of brand new equipment might have drawn unwanted Congressional attention, some strategic

genius in the Pentagon lit on the perfect solution of handing them out gratis to local law enforcement. What politician could object to enhancing domestic security? Park it in front of the local school, and it’s “for the children.”

And the cops, bless their hearts, love ‘em. It’s a feeling any boy who ever sat behind the wheel of his first pickup truck can identify with. But if we’re ever to reverse the steady drumbeat of police militarization, the MRAPs have to go.

The question is what to do with them now. As is traditional, New Mexico has gleaned more than its fair share of this federal largesse, and cop shops all over the state now have one of these dinosaurs.

We could sell them for scrap, which would do far more to save the planet than recycling the equivalent tonnage of aluminum cans. Or we could give them to the Iraqi and Afghan armies as a sort of geopolitical parting gift — “Thanks for playing, and

good luck in your future endeavors.” They in tur n would probably quickly lose the vehicles to the jihadis, and we could then blow the things up with our drones.

There’s a certain kar mic resonance in thus completing the cosmic arc — now they’re riding and we’re blowing them up, what goes around comes around, etc. — but most Americans are now well past appreciating the irony.

Instead, let’s do the same thing we did with all that obsolete iron our fathers and grandfathers hauled back from World War II. All over the country, there’s scarcely a village without an antique cannon, anti-aircraft gun, tank, or other piece of military scrap on a concrete plinth with a bronze plaque commemorating “the Big One.” We could do the same with our MRAPs. Mount the beasts in the town square as an appropriate memorial to what is now our longest-lasting conflict, the War On Terror.

it knows what time of month it is. It knows the time of your life for you to start ovulating and the time to stop — and it knows the time of the month for you to ovulate.

The brain controls ovulation and menstrual periods through a group of hormones, natural substances made in the brain that travel between different parts of the brain and also travel through the blood to the ovaries and uterus.

Anovulation can occur for many reasons. For example, women who exercise intensely, for long periods of time, may not ovulate. Women who are anorexic or have a very low body mass index may also have irregular or absent peri-

ods. In both cases, it appears that the brain hormones that normally stimulate ovulation are "dialed down," for reasons we don't understand.

Another common cause of irregular periods is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Women with PCOS don't ovulate normally. That's because the body doesn't respond normally to the hormone insulin.

Anovulation can also be a sign of abnor mal hor mone levels. Women who do not produce enough thyroid hormone may not ovulate normally. The same is true of women with high blood levels of prolactin. Prolactin is a hormone normally produced

Cause of anovulation should be determined

DEAR DOCTOR K: I've always had infrequent periods, but I never thought much of it. My doctor recently used the word "anovulatory" to explain why I've had trouble getting pregnant. What does this mean? Could the two be connected?

DEAR READER: "Anovulation" means you are not ovulating — releasing eggs. A woman's ovary should release approximately one egg each month. Once released, the egg travels into the fallopian tube.

There, it can be fertilized by the entry of a sperm. The fertilized egg then enters the uterus.

When a woman does not ovulate, no egg is available to be fertilized by sperm. As a

result, a woman cannot become pregnant. Women who are anovulatory have irregular, few or no periods.

Something wrong with the signals that cause ovulation.

What are those signals? They start in a woman's brain. The brain has its own "calendar."

Artistic tributes at the library OPINION

Roswell Daily Record

BY LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Roswell Public Library has two distinctive artistic tributes to reading. First, there is the lineup of author’s names appearing along the top of the outside walls; representing the variety of literature available for readers of all ages. Second is the T ree of Knowledge, a 17-foot tall metal sculpture, celebrating the library’s Centennial year in 2006.

The trunk of the tree is covered with custom-made tiles that display the titles of popular books and the branches and leaves form words related to books and the benefits of reading. The sculpture is located on the southwest corner of the library grounds.

The Tree of Knowledge is symbolic of all of the Library’s literary and informational treasures. The key to these treasures is your personal library card. The Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., has resources for all areas of your life. The online catalog of materials lists the authors, titles and subjects of the various books and other materials.

To access the Library’s online catalog or for information on the resources and services, visit the library, phone 622-7101 or go to roswellpubliclibrary.org. The online resources of Internet databases include links to periodical articles, maps, electronic newspapers, auto repair manuals, health resources and other websites.

Reference librarians are available to assist patrons in locating the books and information.

The Alien Chase has partnered with the Society for the three most recent of the 20 years that the race has existed, starting in 1995 with the first festival. This year’s donation of $4,000 has now put the amount donated to the Humane Society at $10,000.

Once your doctor identifies the reason why you are not ovulating, the problem often can be corrected. For example, if you have PCOS, your doctor may prescribe medications that improve insulin sensitivity. This, in turn, may improve your chances of ovulating and becoming pregnant.

Even if your doctor cannot correct an underlying cause, you may still be able to become pregnant. A medication like clomiphene (Clomid), for example, can stimulate your ovaries to produce eggs.

authors’ names is John Steinbeck, author of 27 books, including 16 novels, six non-fiction books, and five collections of short stories. In 1962, Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for Literature for being among “the masters of modern American literature” citing many of his books, including “Of Mice and Men” and “The Grapes of Wrath.” The Swedish Academy's reason for awarding the prize reads "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humour and keen social perception." Tomás González, Reference staf f, showcases some of the author's more popular books that are available for checkout.

The “Grapes of Wrath” was awarded a National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1940 and is observing its 75th anniversary of publication.

Although fictional, “The Grapes of Wrath” was firmly rooted in real events. During the Great Depression, the Joad family set out west along Route 66, hoping to find a better future in California. During the journey, the Joads face hardships; family members pass away and others desert the family. Upon arrival in California, their hopes are dashed when they find an overabundance of workers and poor workers' rights and conditions. Seeking to fight for their rights leads to tougher times for everyone and they are faced with even greater challenges to survive.

tute's 100 greatest films.

“Of Mice and Men” has a similar setting. Two migrant ranch hands, George Milton and Lennie Small, go searching for work in California. George is the brains of the operation and has assumed responsibility for Lennie who is mentally challenged and has affection for touching soft things.

Lennie is so strong that he unconsciously kills what he attempts to caress, causing trouble wherever they go.

They find work on a ranch in California which is a tense and uncomfortable place, especially when dealing with the boss's son, Curley, and his flirtatious wife.

Curley has an inferiority complex because of his small stature and targets the gentle giant. Along with Curley's complex, he has an extreme jealousy streak. Despite the hostile workplace, George and Lennie make friends and prove their worth to the other workers and their boss, but a string of events ruins their dreams of owning a farm. This is a tale of commitment, loneliness, hope,and loss.

“East of Eden” revolves around the interwoven stories of the Trask and Hamilton families in the Salinas Valley during the early 1900s. The Hamilton parents, Samuel and Liza, were immigrants from Ireland who raised a large family of nine children on their far m. They are based roughly on Steinbeck's own family history.

As the Hamilton children begin to grow up and leave the nest, Adam Trask, who is newly wed and newly rich, arrives in California and settles nearby with the pregnant Cathy. Adam and Cathy both come from troubled child-

Dear editor, Does the Roswell Police Department need a military-armored fighting vehicle capable of withstanding the blast of an antitank mine? It already has one, called MRAP (for mine resistant, ambush prepared). Of course, if officers want to play with giant military toys, they want to look the part.

Accordingly, any who wants to ride in the MRAP puts on a GI Joe camouflage outfit, complete with combat boots, kevlar helmet, and an M-15 assault rifle (which is too much gun for residential areas). I suppose some people never outgrow playing dress-up.

Or at any rate, the regular police uniform does not seem to suit every occasion, such as conducting searches or making arrests.

This heavy equipment must cost a fortune to maintain (a requirement

With the help of his cook and Samuel Hamilton, Adam raises his sons, Caleb and Aron. The sons would take different paths in life and would be exposed to many of the ills of the world. Adam lost most of the family's fortune by investing in his poor invention. Their mother was thought to be dead, but is found alive and living a life that horrified the boys. In a story that relates to the biblical tale of Cain and Abel, the two boys hope to regain the dignity to their family name and make good for the wrongdoings of their parents and themselves.

US trained Alaskans as secret ‘stay-behind agents’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fearing a Russian invasion and occupation of Alaska, the U.S. government in the early Cold War years recruited and trained fishermen, bush pilots, trappers and other private citizens across Alaska for a covert network to feed wartime intelligence to the military, newly declassified Air Force and FBI documents show.

Invasion of Alaska? Yes. It seemed like a real possibility in 1950.

“The military believes that it would be an airborne invasion involving bombing and the dropping of paratroopers,” one FBI memo said.

The most likely targets were thought to be Nome, Fairbanks, Anchorage and Seward.

So FBI director J. Edgar Hoover teamed up on a highly classified project, code-

named “Washtub,” with the newly created Air Force Office of Special Investigations, headed by Hoover protege and former FBI official Joseph F. Carroll.

The secret plan was to have citizen-agents in key locations in Alaska ready to hide from the invaders of what was then only a U.S. territory. The citizen-agents would find their way to survival caches of food, coldweather gear, message-coding material and radios. In hiding they would transmit word of enemy movements.

This was not civil defense of the sort that became common later in the Cold War as Americans built their own bomb shelters. This was an extraordinary enlistment of civilians as intelligence operatives on U.S. soil.

This account of the “Washtub” project is based on hun-

dreds of pages of formerly secret documents. The heavily censored records were provided to The Associated Press by the Government Attic, a website that publishes government documents it obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. The Russians never invaded, of course.

So the covert cadre of “stay-behind agents,” as they were known, was never activated to collect and report wartime information from backwoods bunkers. It was an assignment that federal officials acknowledged (to each other, if not to the new agents) was highly dangerous, given that the Soviet Union's military doctrine called for the elimination of local resistance in occupied territory.

To compensate for expected casualties, a reserve pool

of agents was to be held outside of Alaska and inserted by air later as short-term replacements. This assignment was seen as an easier sell to potential recruits because “some agents might not be too enthusiastic about being left behind in enemy-occupied areas for an indefinite period of time,” one planning document noted dryly.

“Washtub” was not, however, a washout. It operated from 1951-59, according to Deborah Kidwell, official historian of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, or OSI. “While war with the Soviet Union did not come to Alaska, OSI trained 89 SBA (stay-behind agents), and the survival caches served peacetime purposes for many years to come,” she wrote in an OSI magazine last year.

NATION/OBITUARIES

US eating habits improve a Sandy-hit towns wrestle bit — except among poor with eminent-domain choice

CHICAGO (AP) — Americans’ eating habits have improved — except among the poor, evidence of a widening wealth gap when it comes to diet. Yet even among wealthier adults, food choices remain far from ideal, a 12-year study found.

On an index of healthy eating where a per fect score is 110, U.S. adults averaged just 40 points in 1999-2000, climbing steadily to 47 points in 2009-10, the study found.

Scores for low-income adults were lower than the average and barely budged during the years studied.

They averaged almost four points lower than those for high-income adults at the beginning; the difference increased to more than six points in 2009-10.

Higher scores mean greater intake of hearthealthy foods including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, and a high score means a low risk of obesity and chronic illnesses including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Low scores mean people face greater chances for developing those ailments.

The widening rich-poor diet gap is disconcerting and “will have important public health implications,” said study co-author Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health.

Diet-linked chronic diseases like diabetes have become more common in Americans in general, and especially in the poor, he noted.

“Declining diet quality

over time may actually widen the gap between the poor and the rich,” Hu said.

Harvard School of Public Health researchers developed the healthy diet index used for the study. It is similar to federal dietary guidelines but features additional categories including red and processed meats, sugar sweetened beverages and alcohol.

The study authors used that index along with government estimates on trans fat intake to evaluate information in 1999-2010 national health surveys that included interviews with people about their eating habits. The results are published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Hu said the widening diet gap reflects an income gap that deepened during the recent financial crisis, which likely made healthy food less af fordable for many people. Hu also noted that inexpensive highly processed foods are often widely available in lowincome neighborhoods.

The overall diet improvement was largely due to decreased intake of foods containing trans fats but the disappointing results point to a need for policy changes including better nutrition education, Hu said.

In recent years the government and manufacturers have moved to phase out use of artificial trans fats in foods including processed cookies, cakes, frozen pizza and margarines. T rans fats con-

tribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels and can increase heart disease risks. These fats are made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil to improve texture and shelf life.

The study authors say their results are consistent with an earlier report showing that “nearly the entire U.S. population fell short of meeting federal dietary recommendations.”

The federal guidelines are updated every five years and new ones will be issued next year. The current recommendations emphasize limiting intake of trans fats, sodium, processed foods and added sugars. They don’t specify amounts but encourage diets high in whole grains, vegetables and fruits.

The Harvard index has a similar emphasis with some specifics; to get a top score would include eating daily more than two cups of vegetables, at least four servings of fruit and at least one ounce of nuts.

A JAMA Internal Medicine editorial says the Harvard diet index isn’t perfect because it puts equal emphasis on various foods that may not contribute equally to health. Still, the study highlights a “growing chasm” that is a public health concern, the editorial says. It suggests that government efforts to close the gap with programs including food stamps may be insuf ficient and that limiting government benefits to cover only healthful foods might be a better strategy.

Linda never hesitated to help others — she served as caregiver for Gary’s mother and her own sister, Katherine (Cole) Shanks, after they were each diagnosed with cancer.

Linda is survived by her husband Gary, her daughter Shauna Hernes, granddaughters Desiree Montoya and Kaelyn Montoya, exson-in-law Patrick Montoya, her father Houston Cole, step-father Dudley (Junior) Parks, brothers Dale, David, Paul, and Gary Parks, three nieces and their families, and many others too numerous to mention.

She was preceded in death by her grandmother Faye Rawdon, her mother Margaret Mae (Underwood) Parks, her sister Katherine, and her mother -in-law Margaret Hernes.

Roswell Daily Record

ASHAROKEN, N.Y. (AP) — On a tiny spit of land off Long Island, the wealthy village of Asharoken faces a dilemma borne of Superstorm Sandy.

Either it accepts millions of dollars in federal aid to build a protective sand dune and for the first time in its nearly 90-year existence allows the public to use its beach or it rejects the aid and retains its privacy, potentially worsening an erosion problem that saw part of its main road washed out and power lines toppled during the October 2012 storm.

But some of the 600-plus residents in the village of million-dollar homes worry opening up the area could lead to traffic problems, trespassing and more garbage.

“I think privacy, pollution and safety, these are the three main concerns,” resident Asenneth Elsin said. “I don’t have a problem sharing, but unfortunately there will be people not following the rules.”

Asharoken is just one place where the tussle among coastal protection, property rights, public access and federal funding is playing out in New York and New Jersey, both hit hard by the storm.

Much of the damage was caused by stor m surge, which flooded or destroyed homes and washed out boardwalks. In some places, such as Surf City on Long Beach Island in New Jersey, dunes held off serious damage while neighboring communities without such protection were nearly wiped out.

Now there’s a movement afoot to build or replenish dunes before the next storm. After Sandy, Congress granted the Ar my Corps $5.3 billion to study damaged areas and for projects to build dunes, enlarge beaches and install structures to slow sand movement.

Before work can begin, though, property owners must sign agreements allowing access to parts of their property for eternity.

And to get the federal funding, communities must agree to provide public routes to the funded beaches.

If they decide to keep the beaches to themselves, it’s either find a way to pay for dunes or risk getting flooded again.

New York and New Jersey officials have said they’re committed to seeing the

work through, even if it means getting courts involved. They say taking property by eminent domain is a possibility.

Asharoken lies between Long Island Sound and a harbor on the narrowest part of a peninsula connecting mainland Long Island with the community of Eaton’s Neck at the tip.

It has about 300 homes.

Residents who don’t live on the water can buy beachonly lots, and they leave kayaks, patio sets, umbrellas and more on the property.

The Corps is studying an estimated $30 million plan to build a dune and berm and enlarge the beach. In a letter to residents, Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica said if the village didn’t accept the federal funding it would cost homeowners up to $100,000 apiece to restore the beach.

If the Corps project moves forward, Asharoken may have to take property to create public beach access and compensate homeowners. The problem: Because of its small population, it has an annual budget of just over $2 million, so Letica is asking officials to ease the public access requirement.

Asharoken is among several places in New York where the Corps is studying or building dunes.

Some structures may be demolished on Fire Island, a barrier island for Long Island that’s dotted with beachside communities and home to a national seashore, to make way for a project.

Breezy Point, a cooperative on Queens’ Rockaway Peninsula that flooded and burned during Sandy, was

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A tweet from Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s verified account on Sunday night included a disparaging image of the Democratic district attorney who is at the center of his criminal indictment on charges of abuse of power. The tweet was later deleted, followed by another from Perry’s account that disavowed the post.

“A tweet just went out from my account that was unauthorized. I do not condone the tweet and I have taken it down,” the later post said.

Perry aides did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

Although the tweets were sent from Perry’s verified account, it was unclear who does the actual posting for the feed.

The earlier tweet posted an unflattering mock image of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who was convicted of drunken driving in April 2013. Perry vetoed funds to her office when she refused to resign, which led to a grand jury in Austin this month indicting Perry — who is a potential 2016

presidential candidate.

The caption on the tweet reads: “I don’t always drive drunk at 3x the legal blood alcohol limit ... but when I do, I indict Gov. Perry for calling me out about it. I am the most drunk Democrat in Texas.”

Lehmberg’s office did not lead the grand jury investigation against Perry. It was handled by Michael McCrum, a San Antoniobased special prosecutor who was assigned by a Republican judge.

Perry has pleaded not guilty and called the charges a political ploy. His high-powered legal team has asked the judge overseeing the case to dismiss the indictment, claiming that the law being used to prosecute the longest-serving governor in Texas history is unconstitutionally vague.

Perry cut off $7.5 million in state funds to the state’s Public Integrity Unit — which is based in Travis County and prosecutes public corruption in Texas — when Lehmberg refused to resign. That veto drew a formal complaint from a left-leaning watchdog group.

In this Aug. 26 photo, a sea wall separates Asharoken Village, N.Y. from Long Island Sound. The wall was washed over during Superstorm Sandy in October 2012, causing erosion and and taking down power lines.

Texas’ Perry says tweet Sunday night was not him, unauthorized

given a $1.2 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to study building a $57 million dune with a sea wall.

In New Jersey, 11 Corps projects are planned, but it hasn’t gotten all homeowners to sign easements.

“We’re looking to make our shores more resilient,” said Bob Considine, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.

“We’re doing this for the good of the entire shore and New Jersey.”

A 14-mile dune project from Manasquan Inlet to Barnegat Inlet has some of the most holdouts, with the boroughs of Bay Head and Point Pleasant Beach accounting for nearly 200.

In Point Pleasant Beach, much of the boardwalk and beach are privately owned to the mean high-water mark, and several large businesses operate amusements there.

Jenkinson’s Boardwalk, the largest beachfront property owner, said building a dune would erase beach areas where volleyball, movies, weddings and other events are held. The owners said they don’t believe a dune would stop flooding because properties behind Jenkinson’s weren’t flooded by Sandy’s surge. borough has The approved granting an easement on property it owns, but 69 other property owners haven’t.

“I understand their concer ns, and in a per fect world we wouldn’t do this,” Mayor Vincent Barrella said. “But we don’t have that. We live in a postSandy world.”

Inquiries begin into nude celebrity photo leaks ‘Guardians’ tops Labor Day, summer box office

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The FBI said Monday it was addressing allegations that online accounts of several including celebrities, Oscar -winner Jennifer Lawrence, had been hacked, leading to the posting of their nude photographs online.

The agency did not say what actions it was taking to investigate who was responsible for posting naked photos of Lawrence and other stars. Apple said Monday it was looking into whether its online photosharing service had been hacked to obtain the intimate images.

Lawrence, a three-time Oscar nominee who won for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook,” contacted authorities after the images began appearing Sunday.

Naked images purporting to be of other female stars were also posted, although the authenticity of many couldn’t be confirmed. The source of the leak was unclear.

“This is a flagrant violation of privacy,” Lawrence’s publicist Liz Mahoney wrote in a statement. “The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the

stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence.”

The FBI said it was “aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter.”

“Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time,” spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wrote in a statement.

Apple Inc. spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said the company was investigating whether any iCloud accounts had been tampered with, but she did not give any further details.

“We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report,” she said.

Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead also confirmed that nude photos of her were posted online.

“To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves,” Winstead posted on Twitter. Winstead, who starred in “Final Destination 3” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” wrote that she thought the

images had been destroyed.

“Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this,” Winstead wrote.

The FBI has investigated previous leaks of nude celebrity images, including leaks involving Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and footage of television sports reporter Erin Andrews in a Tennessee hotel room.

Those cases resulted in convictions.

How widespread the hacking of celebrities photos was is not immediately clear. Some of the images were quickly denounced as fakes.

Some cybersecurity experts speculated that hackers may have obtained a cache of private celebrity images by exploiting weaknesses in an online imagestoring platform.

“It is important for celebrities and the general public to remember that images and data no longer just reside on the device that captured it,” security researcher Ken Westin wrote in a blog post Monday. “Once images and other data are uploaded to the cloud, it becomes much

more difficult to control who has access to it, even if we think it is private.”

Private information and images of celebrities are frequent targets for hackers. Last year, a site posted credit reports, Social Security numbers and other financial info on celebrities, including Jay Z and his wife Beyonce, Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher and many others.

Johansson, Kunis and Aguilera were hacked by a Florida man, Christopher Chaney, who used publicly available infor mation to hack into the email accounts of more than 50 people in the entertainment industry.

“I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed,” Johansson said in a tearful videotaped statement played in court at Chaney’s sentencing in December 2012.

“That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy,” Aguilera wrote in a statement before Chaney’s sentencing.

LONDON (AP) — Placido Domingo will be the closing act at this year’s iTunes Festival in London.

The famed Spanish tenor will perform Sept. 30 at the Roundhouse — the last performance of a month-long, starry line-up, festival organizers announced.

Deadmau5 kicks off the concerts on Monday night, followed by headline sets from pop names like Pharrell Williams, Calvin Harris, The Script and Ed Sheeran.

Kylie Minogue, Kasabian, Mary J. Blige, Blondie, Maroon 5 and Robert Plant are also playing the festival.

The organizers quoted Domingo as saying he was thrilled to appear and for “the recognition that this brings to the unique and magnificent world of opera and of clasAP Photo sical music.”

Los Angeles, Aug. 26.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The intergalactic misfits of “Guardians of the Galaxy” are the summer’s box-office superheroes.

Marvel’s cosmic romp topped the Labor Day box office with a three-day take of $22 million — its third time in first place since its release five weeks ago, according to studio estimates Monday. With North American ticket sales of more than $280 million so far, “Guardians” is also the summer’s — and the year’s — top-grossing film to date domestically.

Still, summer box-office totals are down almost 15 percent from last year, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak.

“This is the lowest summer since 2006 in terms of revenue,” he said. “Before ‘Guardians,’ we were sitting on a 20 percent deficit compared to last year.”

“T ransfor mers: Age of Extinction,” which opened in late June, also boosted the summer box office with $1 billion in global ticket sales. “Maleficent” was another hit, bringing in more than $230 million domestically.

“This was never expected to be a record-breaking

summer,” Dergarabedian said, “but it maybe came in under expectations.”

The World Cup may have distracted moviegoers, he said. Also, the death of Paul Walker caused the seventh installment of “Fast & Furious” — which might have added around $200 million to the summer box of fice — to be postponed until next year.

Last summer broke boxoffice records with the success of “Iron Man 3,” “Star T rek,” “The Heat” and “Despicable Me 2.” Next summer is expected to make history again with hotly anticipated releases including “Star Wars,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and Pixar’s “Inside Out.”

“Summer of 2014 is a transitional summer between two record-breaking years,” Dergarabedian said.

The top movies over the lackluster Labor Day holiday were the same as the previous weekend. Paramount’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” followed “Guardians” with $15.7 million, while Warner Bros.’ young-adult drama, “If I Stay” took third place with $11.6 million.

SPORTS B Phillies combine to no-hit Braves Tuesday, September 2, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

ATLANTA (AP) — On Labor Day, Cole Hamels and the Philadelphia bullpen spread the workload on a no-hitter.

Hamels and three Phillies relievers combined on the season’s fourth no-hitter, blanking the Atlanta Braves 7-0 Monday and giving a last-place team a rare reason to celebrate.

It was all the more unusual in that Hamels left the game with his bid intact after six innings. He was fine with the decision, too, having already thrown 108 pitches at a hot afternoon at Turner Field.

“Just understanding the situation, every time I went out there I was battling control issues,” Hamels said. “I wasn’t getting ahead of guys. Walking the leadoff hitter will put you in a lot of trouble, and it does. It builds up your pitch count.”

Section

Roswell Daily Record

Hamels (8-6) struck out seven, matched a season high with five walks and hit a batter.

Relievers Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon each pitched a perfect inning to close out the 11th combined no-hitter in big league history. A smiling Hamels watched from the bench as they finished off what he started.

“I think having a combined no-hitter is very difficult because guys have to come right in and get the guys out, no matter what the situation is,” Hamels said. “It’s a little more dramatic to be able to see that you’re trying to play the cards as best you can against the lineup.”

Manager Ryne Sandberg knew Hamels was tired and ready to come out of the game. Their discussion was a quick one.

“It didn’t take long,” Sandberg said. “He was pretty well spent there. The early innings had something to do with it. The stressful innings, stranding the runners at second and third a couple of times, but he was not going to go nine. And he ran the bases the inning before.”

Papelbon was in the middle of the hugs and handshakes on the mound when it was over.

“I think it’s a cool experience,” Papelbon said. “It’s definitely been a rough go at it this year for our ballclub.

Something to kind of hang our hat on for the year. Cole has been our bona fide ace for the entire the season, and it’s good to preserve those wins for our starters.

Today it was preserving a no-hitter.”

Sam clears waivers, meets with Fisher Azarenka tops ST. LOUIS (AP) — Michael Sam was probably never an ideal fit with the St. Louis Rams and it had absolutely nothing to do with his sexual orientation.

They’re just too well-stocked at defensive end, Sam’s position.

Sam showed up for his face-toface exit meeting with coach Jeff Fisher Sunday, a few hours after clearing waivers.

He arrived via the media entrance at Rams Parka still looking right at home clad in a T-shirt, shorts and flip flops. He shook hands with two reporters and accepted well wishes but declined further comment before heading upstairs to see the coach who wasn’t afraid to add the first openly gay player to the roster.

Or to cut him loose.

Fisher said numerous times during his post cutdown-day news conference Saturday that releasing the SEC co-defensive player of the year was a “football decision.” Sam was outplayed in the preseason by Ethan Westbrooks, the Rams’ top target when signing undrafted free agents.

The coach pointed out four other late-round picks were released, and thought it a sign the franchise is on the upswing.

There were no regrets. Fisher and Sam both said it was never a distraction, and the coach believed that would be the case if Sam landed with another team.

“There were no issues, that’s the thing,” Fisher said. “No issues in the team meeting room, on the field, anyplace.”

All 21 players released Saturday cleared waivers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Trailing against a woman trying to become the first qualifier in the U.S. Open quarterfinals since 1981, Victoria Azarenka needed every ounce of experience and skill to advance.

Twice a major champion, and twice a runner -up at Flushing Meadows, Azarenka took four of the last five games Monday night to come back and win 4-6, 64, 6-4, ending the surprising, out-of-nowhere run by 145th-ranked Aleksandra Krunic of Serbia.

“Obviously, I didn’t have a lot of data on her,” the 16th-seeded Azarenka said about her 5-foot-4 (1.63meter) opponent. “I was a little bit surprised that she’s not that tall, and she hits the ball and unleashes her forehand with so much power.”

The varied game played

by Krunic, a 21-year -old from Serbia, worked wonders earlier in the tournament, when she used her mix of spins and speeds to eliminate two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in the third round, and 27th-seeded Madison Keys in the second.

That run of success, which followed three victories in qualifying rounds, meant that Krunic, as she described it, “started

maybe loving myself a little bit more.”

“Everybody can hit forehand or backhand or serve,” Krunic said. “Yeah, it’s more about how you get it all together.”

By making it to the fourth round, she earned a check for $187,300 — nearly matching her career take coming in. Asked if she knew what her U.S. Open prize money would be, Krunic replied: “No. I know it’s 30 percent tax.

That makes me very sad.”

Her ranking would have been the lowest for a quarterfinalist in U.S. Open history, although other women — such as 2009 champion Kim Clijsters — have made it that far without any ranking at all because of a lack of activity.

And the crowd showered Krunic with loud support throughout the 2-hour, 19minute match under the lights in Arthur Ashe Stadium, something she said surprised her.

Azarenka, who lost to Serena Williams in the 2012 and 2013 U.S. Open finals, took a more aggressive approach in the latter stages of the match, pushing forward to win nine of 10 points at the net in the final set.

Jerry Jones: Dallas Cowboys looking at ‘uphill battle’ See SAM, Page B3

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jerry Jones opened training camp with stories about how young his Dallas Cowboys were. He told a few thousand fans at the kickoff luncheon that many of those players faced an “uphill battle.”

Not exactly Super Bowl talk from an eternally optimistic owner who has made such preseason predictions a few times.

The Cowboys have 34-yearold quarterback Tony Romo coming off back surgery, and Rolando McClain possibly starting at middle linebacker just a few months after deciding to retire. Not to mention a defensive line lacking star — and possibly pass-rushing — power heading into Sunday’s opener against San Francisco.

“I think there is a difference being optimistic and assessing the odds,” Jones said after the

Cowboys finished a winless preseason with a 27-3 loss to last week. “You’ve got guys out there, no-name guys. You’ve got guys out there who retired. You’ve got guys who are coming back from injury.

Man, this is a ‘to prove’ group.”

Jones still includes coach Jason Garrett in that group.

Even though a youthful roster is loaded with questions about a defense that gave up the most yards in the league last year, Jones isn’t ready to commit to Garrett beyond this season.

“If I said that, I’d be giving him a contract and that’s not how we’re operating here,” Jones said. “I in no way have shut that door. But I have already decided that we were going to operate this year with his contract status the way it is.”

LOCAL SCHEDULE Unavailable at press time.

Garrett was at the center of reshaping a roster that has gone from one of the oldest in the league to one of the youngest in just a few seasons. Meanwhile, the Cowboys have finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs in all three of Garrett’s full seasons.

Those three years ended with losses to NFC East rivals with playoff berths on the line.

If Dallas misses the playoffs again this season, it will match the franchise record of five straight years without a postseason trip.

“We started with a plan to make the team younger, to build the team the right way, to bring the cornerstone pieces in, and we feel like we’ve done that,” Garrett said.

“Now is that job complete? It’s

Man United signs Falcao loan with option to buy Roswell Daily Record

LONDON (AP) — Manchester United signed Radamel Falcao on loan from Monaco early Tuesday in a coup by the struggling club on the final day of the summer transfer window.

The record 20-time English champions are paying around $9 million to Monaco to take Falco on loan for the season with an option to buy the 28-year -old Colombia striker.

Bringing one of the hottest properties in world soccer to Old Trafford was a surprise move by United’s owners, with the Glazer family under pressure to spend after a rapid decline since Alex Ferguson retired as manager in May 2013 after more than 26 years in charge.

“Manchester United is the biggest club in the world and is clearly determined to get back to the top,” Falcao said in a statement. “I am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal and contributing to the team’s success at this very exciting period in the club’s history.”

United’s need for reinforcements has been highlighted by the failure to win any of its opening four matches under Van Gaal, who was hired to halt the slump under David Moyes last season.

United’s latest setback was a 0-0 draw at Burnley on Saturday, following a humiliating League Cup loss to third-tier club MK Dons.

Falcao only joined Monaco from Atletico Madrid last year in a deal worth 60 million euros (then $78 million), but missed the second half of the season through injury.

At Atletico, Falcao scored 70 goals in 91 appearances, and before then netted 72 in 87 Porto games.

“He is one of the most prolific goalscorers in the game,” Van Gaal said. “His appearance-togoal ratio speaks for itself and when a player of this caliber becomes available it is an opportunity not to be missed.”

United, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has spent around $250 million on players since finishing seventh last season, with Argentina midfielder Angel Di Maria joining last

Clayton Kershaw and Josh Beckett of the Dodgers and Tim Lincecum of the Giants threw no-hitters earlier this year.

Right fielder Marlon Byrd foiled the Braves’ best bid for a hit. With runners on second and third in the third inning, Byrd raced in and toward the line to make a diving catch on Chris Johnson’s slicing liner to end the inning.

“It happened at a perfect time, making that catch,” Byrd said. “Keeping him in the game, keeping us in the lead, the whole nine. It was nice.”

Versatile Netherlands international Daley Blind completed his move from Ajax for 14 million pounds ($23 million) on Monday as Falaco’s deal was being seal.

In Van Gaal’s 3-5-2 system, Falcao could partner Robin van Persie up front, with captain Wayne Rooney dropping into midfield and assuming the No. 10 role.

Those tactics could put Juan Mata’s starting place at risk after he arrived in January for 37.1 million pounds (then $61 million).

Johnson came close again in the ninth with a grounder up the middle.

Shortstop Jimmy Rollins ranged behind the bag to make the play.

Phil Gosselin then lined out to first baseman Darin Ruf, who had taken over in the ninth for Ryan Howard, to end the game.

Hamels singled and scored in the sixth inning, and got pats of congratulations in the dugout after pitching the bottom half.

He was on deck in the seventh, but Sandberg’s decision already was made when Hamels was pulled for pinch-hitter Grady Sizemore.

Falcao is leaving a club he helped to qualify for the Champions League for one not participating in any European competitions this season.

Monaco owner Dmitry Rybolovlev, a Russian billionaire, spent heavily to establish the team as a footballing power after winning the second division title in 2013, with Falcao the marquee recruit. But Falcao’s season — and World Cup hopes — were ended following left knee surgery in January and Monaco was beaten to the title by Paris Saint-Germain.

accomplishments on his resume — in 2008, he was the MVP of the World Series and the NL championship series, and he’s a three-time All-Star.

Now, the lefty can claim part of a no-no, too.

Diekman struck out two and Giles fanned three before Papelbon took over.

Kevin Millwood and five Seattle relievers teamed up to pitch the previous combined no-hitter, against the Dodgers in 2012. The first combined no-hitter came in 1917 when Babe Ruth walked the first Washington batter of the game and was ejected, and Boston Red Sox reliever Ernie Shore didn’t allow another runner.

Next up for Azarenka is 17thseeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia, who advanced earlier Monday by beating No. 7 Eugenie Bouchard 7-6 (2), 6-4.

Azarenka has won the Australian Open twice and used to be ranked No. 1, but she has struggled during an uneven 2014 because of health problems.

She entered Monday having played 20 matches all season, including one from January to June because of a left foot injury, and only four in the time between Wimbledon and the U.S. Open because

“The guys that are available to us, we’re going to give them a chance to show what they can do,” Garrett said. “Hopefully they’ve grown with that experience, and we’ll get some of the veteran players back who haven’t been with us, practicing and playing as much as we

Colombia striker James Rodriguez, who was the top scorer at the World Cup, has already been sold to Real Madrid after just a year on the French Riviera.

Losing Falaco is a further blow to Monaco’s ambitions and leaves the club with veteran forward Dimitar Berbatov as the club’s best option in attack.

The signings of Falcao and Rodriguez were meant to herald a new era for Monaco, one where they could challenge big-spending PSG. But losing such big names deals a significant blow to the club’s prospects of competing at

Roy Halladay pitched the previous two Phillies nohitters — he threw a perfect game against the Marlins in 2010, then threw a no-hitter the same year in the playoffs against Cincinnati.

It was 12th no-hitter in Phillies history, and the first combined effort. The last pitcher to no-hit the Braves was Ubaldo Jimenez of Colorado in 2010.

Ben Revere tripled and drove in a career-high five runs. The leadoff man started the day with 15 RBIs this season.

Hamels factored in the Phillies’ first two runs. He sacrificed a runner to third in the third inning, and led

“You’re making it sound like ... I almost died and, you know, there was 10 sharks, and I got attacked, and I survived. And, you know, I saved a dolphin, as well,” Azarenka said. “It’s not that complicated, really. What I enjoy is to play tennis. To be talking about what happened with my injuries, I mean, it’s useless already.”

would have liked. But that’s just the reality of it.”

And those defenders are aware of the reality.

“There’s very low expectations for this defense,” said defensive tackle Henry Melton, the team’s biggest free agent signing getting ready for his first game since tearing a knee ligament in Week 3 last year with Chicago. “They’re going to see Sunday that it’s going to be a different squad.”

Jones is counting on that “to prove” mentality.

“I am sorry to our supporters for the departure of Radamel Falcao,” Monaco vice president Vadim Vasilyev said. “But we felt that once the player had expressed his desire to join Manchester United, we couldn’t stop him. It is interesting to see that the biggest clubs want our players.”

Falcao is leaving a club that attracted less than 10,000 fans at its weekend game for a club which usually sells out the 76,000-capacity Old Trafford.

off the sixth with a single and scored from second on Rollins’ triple.

Atlanta, which had won 11 of 15, began the day 1 1/2 games back in the NL wild-card race. Jason Heyward drew two walks and stole three bases. The struggling Braves’ offense has scored one run in the last three games.

“The game of baseball’s kind of funny,” Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “You feel like you’ve hit a good stride and all of a sudden you go through a stretch where you score one run in 27 innings, and you’re lucky enough to win one of those games.”

“Some may be coming back,” Fisher said. “You may see them Sunday on the practice squad, and some you may never ever see again.”

The meeting with Sam was postponed a day so he could attend Missouri’s opening victory over South Dakota State.

The Rams appeared unlikely to re-sign Sam to the 10-player practice squad because the defensive line is their strongest unit.

Sam had three sacks, one more than Westbrook.

But most of the preseason, he was playing with the secondand thirdstringers.

Westbrooks was the Division II defensive player of the year when he had 19 12 sacks for West Texas A&M, a school the Rams tapped a few years earlier for quarterback Keith Null.

“He was very productive and played all four spots,” Fisher said. “He is a very, very talented young player

Shortstop Andrelton Simmons’ error set up the runs.

Philadelphia has won Hamels’ last five starts against the Braves. He owns an 0.97 ERA and four victories in that span.

UP NEXT Phillies: RHP Kyle Kendrick (7-11) starts Tuesday vs. Atlanta. He has a 6.55 ERA over his last nine starts. ... Braves LHP Mike Minor (6-8) is winless with two losses and a 2.77 ERA in two starts against Philadelphia this year. that I think has a really good future.”

Fisher noted only one defensive lineman had more preseason snaps than Sam, so he got a full shot. And that there were more than enough pass rushers with Robert Quinn and Chris Long starting plus productive backups William Hayes and Eugene Sims.

Tackles Michael Brockers and Aaron Donald, the latter a first-round pick this year, also are sack threats.

“It’s the strength of our team,” Fisher said, adding carrying nine defensive linemen was a “significant number.”

“If you go with 10, then you’re going to be short someplace else, and we’re just not there.”

They’re not as deep in the secondary, minus cornerback Trumaine Johnson (knee) for probably the first month. They need numbers at linebacker, with just five on the roster.

Backup center-guard Barrett Jones is sidelined indefinitely after back surgery.

FINANCIAL

Roswell Daily Record

Survey: Foreign companies in China feel ‘targeted’ BEIJING (AP) — Foreign companies in China feel increasingly targeted for unfair enforcement of anti-monopoly and other laws and might cut investment if conditions fail to improve, a U.S. business group said Tuesday.

The American Chamber of Commerce in China’s report adds to mounting complaints about a flurry of investigations of global automakers, technology suppliers and other companies. It is a reversal for companies that welcomed plans unveiled by the ruling Communist Party in late 2013 to open the state-dominated economy to more private competition and adds to pressures at a time of slowing growth and rising competition from local rivals.

Almost half of companies that responded to a survey last week believe they are targeted for “selective and subjective enforcement” of anti-monopoly, food safety and other rules, the chamber said in a report. It said China faces a growing risk it “will permanently lose its luster as a desirable investment destination.”

“Many areas of regulation are overly focused on foreign multinationals,” said the chamber’s

chairman, Greg Gilligan.

Out of 164 people who responded to the survey, 60 percent said they felt “less welcome” in China, up sharply from a survey in late 2013 in which 41 percent of 365 respondents expressed the same sentiment.

The ruling party under President Xi Jinping has promised to make China’s economy more productive by opening more industries to private and foreign competition. But at the same time Beijing is trying to create “national champions” in fields from autos to telecoms to aerospace. Business groups say that has led regulators to use a 6-year -old anti-monopoly law and other regulations to shield domestic companies from competition.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China also expressed concern last month about the anti-monopoly investigations. It said it received reports companies were pressured by regulators to accept penalties without a full hearing and avoid involving their governments.

Trade officials from the United States, the European Union and Japan say they are watch-

ing the investigations but have yet to announce whether they consider them a violation of China’s free-trade commitments.

Industries targeted by regulators include pharmaceuticals, medical devices, high technology and autos, according to Les Ross, the American chamber’s vice chairman. He expressed concer n regulators might be “taking down” foreign companies to narrow the gap with Chinese competitors.

Beijing has announced fines totaling $202 million against 12 Japanese auto components suppliers on charges of pricefixing as part of a sweeping investigation of the industry.

Officials say Mercedes Benz, Audi and Chrysler also will face punishment. In separate probes, Microsoft and chip maker Qualcomm also are under scrutiny.

Foreign business groups welcomed the anti-monopoly law in 2008 as a step toward clarifying operating conditions. Since then, they have said it is enforced more actively against foreign companies than against local rivals.

Regulators deny they favor domestic companies. They point

chases of goods from foreignowned companies, said Ross.

The government procurement agency announced in May it would not buy computer equipment that runs Micr osoft’s Windows 8 operating system. It gave no explanation, but state media said Beijing wants to develop its own operating system to compete with Windows and with Google Inc.’s Android.

Uncertainty over regulatory conditions adds to challenges for foreign companies at a time when China’s growth is slowing and they face competition from ambitious local rivals. Growth of 7.5 per cent in the thr ee months ended in June was barely half of 2007’s rate of 14.2 percent.

China is one of the world’s top investment destinations.

The government says it receives in excess of $100 billion a year, thought economists say a large share of that is money brought home by Chinese companies.

But fewer companies report substantial revenue growth and those reporting slight decreases ar e “mor e pr evalent,” the chamber’s report said.

“Companies are increasingly cautious about future investments,” it said.

to actions such as fines last year against two Chinese liquor producers for price-fixing.

“We believe the fairness of the law enforcement will be better reflected as the number of cases increases,” said the director of the anti-monopoly bureau of the Cabinet’s planning agency, Xu Kunlin, in comments Tuesday in the China Daily, an English-language newspaper aimed at foreign readers.

Foreign companies used to have a “sense of cooperation” with regulators but believe that has changed over the past two years, said Kim Woodard, a former vice chairman of the American chamber.

“Now, what’s happening is you have aggressive enforcement actions against selected companies,” said Woodard.

“That starts to look like another barrier to market access.”

That period coincides with the time since Xi became Communist Party leader in 2012. But Woodard, Gilligan and Ross said it was unclear how much of the change was driven by ruling party leaders and how much by other forces such as factions that might oppose reform plans.

Beijing also is reducing pur-

NC offered $100M for Toyota HQ, twice Texas bid

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina business recruiters offered Toyota more than $100 million in incentives for the world’s largest carmaker to move its North American headquarters to Charlotte rather than a Dallas suburb, but still lost out to a Texas offer half that size.

Only about a quarter of the nearly 3,000 jobs paying an average of $105,000 a year were expected to move from Southern California, meaning a golden but missed job-creating opportunity for the region, according to North Carolina recruiting documents and emails released to The Associated Press last week in response to a public records request.

State law requires the release of recruiting documents after a company has announced a decision on its preferred location, which

Since Gov. Pat McCrory took office last year, state agencies often take many months to comply.

“We chose a location that better supports our diverse geographic footprint, in a time zone that allows us to communicate better with most of our operations, and has direct flights to all our operations,” Michaels said.

The availability of direct flights between the U.S. and Japan was a key element.

Toyota executives travel to and from Asia hundreds of times a year, Decker said.

Charlotte Douglas International Airport has no direct flights to Asia. Toyota’s new headquarters in Plano, Texas, is near the Dallas/Fort Worth airport, where American Airlines has direct flights to Tokyo from its largest hub and headquarters.

“It just underscores it’s not just about incentives,” Decker said.

business boosters are calling for McCrory to call back the General Assembly, which concluded its twoyear meeting session less than two weeks ago, to consider expanded incentives that weren’t approved by lawmakers this year. That includes a $20 million “Job Catalyst Fund” of upfront taxpayer money that could be disbursed to selected corporations solely at Decker’s discretion.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry touted the role that $40 million offered to Toyota from the taxpayer-funded Texas Enterprise Fund played in the deal. Plano officials kicked in an additional $6.75 million incentive package.

The fund, a Perry pet project, and another one like it have given selected businesses a combined $600 million. But the funds have been criticized by

Texas conservatives who object to state officials picking winners and losers.

North Carolina conservatives inside and outside government have voiced similar complaints.

The conservative interest group Americans for Prosperity last week urged McCrory to ignore requests to call the General Assembly into a special session to consider legislation increasing business incentives, which the group calls “corporate welfare.”

But state business recruiters say they’ve learned from other efforts to lure corporate HQs that “personnel relocation expense and severance costs are one of the largest expenses for the company.

Thus ‘up front’ cash becomes a major item in negotiations and we will have to address that,” Stewart Dickinson, who directs the state office putting together money to lure jobs to the state, wrote to Decker in February.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: My son married an educated professional woman from another country. When their twins were born, my daughter -in-law immersed them in her native language so it would become their mother tongue. Although I understand and respect the benefits of being bilingual, this caused a lot of communication gaps and frustration between us and the grandkids during their early years.

They attend a bilingual elementary school now, and their English is superb and communication between us is great. The problem

is, when we are together, my daughter-in-law speaks to her children exclusively in her native language. My son understands the conversation, but my husband and I do not know what is being said.

We think this is rude and inconsiderate.

Are we being overly sensitive, or is this common practice in families with multiple languages? Our relationship with our daughter-in-law is polite and cordial, but not close or intimate. Any advice?

LEFT OUT IN FLORIDA

DEAR LEFT OUT: This is not unusual in multilingual families, and I agree that it is inconsiderate. Have you spoken to your son and daughter -in-law about how this makes you feel? If you haven’t, you should, because she may not be deliberately trying to make you feel excluded.

When you raise the subject, choose your words and tone carefully. Because if you don’t, your relationship with your daughter-inlaw could become a lot less cordial

than it is.

COMICS

#####

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 55-year-old gay male who has been with my now-spouse, “Owen,” in a loving, committed relationship since 2005. While earlier we could not legally marry, in 2006 we had a commitment ceremony bringing together close friends and family to acknowledge and celebrate our relationship. In 2013, Owen and I were finally able to legally marry in California.

My dilemma comes from people who don’t know what to call us.

People often refer to my spouse as my “friend” or “partner.” At times I say nothing, but more often than not, I find myself saying, “Oh, you mean my HUSBAND.” Some of them thank me for the clarification; others just look at me with a blank stare.

Owen never corrects them because he feels it isn’t his place. I feel it’s my responsibility to do so, first so as to not play down the significance of our relationship, but

also to educate these people. Do you think this is inappropriate?

MARRIED IN CALIFORNIA

Family Circus

DEAR MARRIED: Not at all. The people who refer to you and Owen as “partners” and “friends” are using terminology that is evolving because marriage among same-sex couples is still relatively new. As it becomes more commonplace, that will change. In the meantime, it’s completely appropriate for you and Owen to speak up.

P.S. For any reader who may not already know, gay men refer to their spouse as their husband and lesbians refer to theirs as their wife.

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Readers: I have written about this Heloise travel hint before, but it’s time to mention it again. When staying in a hotel (especially for several nights) and using daily housekeeping service, it is nice to LEAVE A TIP. Be sure to leave a note with the tip so it goes to the right person. I usually write “For Housekeeping” and place it on a pillow, or sometimes on the dresser. This makes it clear that the money is for them. If I see the housekeeper with her cart on the floor, I try to say that there is something for her in my room.

Also, if you are there for several days, ask if the same person will be working when you leave. If you wait to tip until the end of your stay, it may be a different person from the one who has been taking care of your room.

Usually, I don’t use housekeeping, because I have enough towels.

I sort of throw the covers up over the pillows and put my trash in the trash can. If extra shampoo or lotion is needed, I simply ask housekeeping to bring me a few, or I stop and ask the person at the housekeeping cart when she is on the floor.

Dear Heloise: What exactly is the reason for using a rinse agent when washing dishes in the dishwasher?

Eddie W. in Kentucky The rinse agent makes water slide off the items you are washing so glasses and dishes have fewer, if any, water spots or film on them when dry. This is particularly important if you live in an area with hard water, like we do here in San Antonio!

Dear Heloise: With our kids involved in sports and dance, gym bags and dance bags are a part of life in our home.

They can get foul-smelling quickly.

To cut down on the odor, each week I take used dryer sheets (that have been through the dryer once) and throw one in the bottom of each bag. Keeps odors down between washings!

Jennifer T. in Colorado Dear Heloise: Silly us — we started our puppies out sleeping in our king-size bed with us. Now, two of them are big dogs. The dogs sleep soundly, making it difficult to adjust the blankets once they’re asleep.

I finally came up with a solution that works for all of us. I use the sheet set as normal, but I use two king-size blankets. I fold each blanket lengthwise, overlap them slightly down the center of the bed, and then tuck them in at the foot.

Each human has ample blanket that he or she can control, and there is no more tug of war.

Ann Moss, via email Dear Heloise: When I make tacos, I use a coffee filter to hold them. It really saves on the mess.

Civil disobedience in fast-food Surly 2014 electorate poised to pay fight expected from guests ‘keep the bums in’ November

WASHINGTON (AP) — A surly electorate that holds Congress in even lower regard than unpopular President Barack Obama is willing to “keep the bums in,” with at least 365 incumbents in the 435-member House and 18 of 28 senators on a glide path to another ter m when ballots are counted Nov. 4.

With less than 10 weeks to the elections, Republicans and Democrats who assess this fall’s midterm contests say the power of incumbency — the decennial process of reconfiguring congressional maps and hefty fundraising — trumps the sour public mood and antipathy toward gridlocked Washington.

“Despite the incredibly low polling, favorable ratings for Congress, it’s still an incumbent’s world,” said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics that tracks political money.

That leaves many voters angry, not only with the political reality but their inability to change it.

“I can’t get over where they say people are going to be able to keep their seats when they’re not

doing their jobs. I just don’t understand it,” said retired teacher Pauline Legendre after voting in Minnesota’s Democratic primary last month.

The voter disgust is palpable, evident in blistering comments at summertime town halls and middling percentages for incumbents in primaries.

Yet no sitting senator has lost and only three congressmen got the primary boot. Come Election Day, only a fraction of the electorate will be motivated enough to vote — if history is any guide.

Congressional hopefuls are whipsawed by the two dynamics.

“It’s going to be a challenge for any candidate running for Congress to suggest that they have all the answers or that somehow there’s something about them that’s so inspiring” that voters are going to forget “how disenchanted or disaffected they are with government at the federal level,” said R yan Costello, a Republican seeking an open House seat in southeast Pennsylvania where just 12 percent of GOP voters turned out in the May primary.

Still, the candidates press ahead, with Repub-

licans laser -focused on gaining the six seats necessary to grab the Senate majority and control Congress for the remainder of Obama’s presidency. Five Democratic retirements give the GOP a clear shot to capture control. So do races in conservativeleaning states such as Louisiana, North Carolina and Arkansas, where white Southern Democrats are nearly extinct.

The GOP figures it’s half-way to its goal, with a solid advantage in open contests in South Dakota, West Virginia and Montana. Republicans are optimistic about the open seat in Iowa, less so about Michigan, and energized by their prospects in Colorado and Alaska. If a GOP wave materializes, it could be in the Senate.

In the House, Republicans are expected to pad their majority — currently 233-199 with three vacancies — with the goal of matching or surpassing the 246 seats the GOP held from 1947-49.

Fueling the battle is what’s expected to be a record-breaking flow of campaign cash. The parties’ campaign committees and their allied outside groups are spending

at a rate certain to exceed the $3.6 billion price tag of the 2010 midterm elections.

House Republicans who saw a wave election in January 2010 — the year Democrats lost 63 seats — don’t expect a comparable sweep in 2014 simply because redistricting reduced the number of opportunities.

On that, Democrats agree, though an Obama decision on immigration could change the dynamic.

On the cusp of the fall election season, fewer than two dozen House Democrats and Republicans are in real jeopardy in November.

The GOP is counting on opposition to Obama to motivate its core voters.

To counter that situation, Democrats have dispatched 444 organizers to 48 districts to get out the vote, with another 250plus ready for the September -to-November sprint as the party typically faces a drop-off in midterm voting.

The Democratic Party is employing reminder pledge cards — “1 million votes for 2014” — the number they say decided 65 competitive House races in 2012.

NEW YORK (AP) — McDonald’s, Wendy’s and other fast-food restaurants are expected to be targeted with acts of civil disobedience that could lead to arrests Thursday as labor organizers escalate their campaign to unionize the industry’s workers.

Kendall Fells, an organizing director for Fast Food Forward, said workers in a couple of dozen cities were trained to peacefully engage in civil disobedience ahead of this week’s planned protests.

Fells declined to say what exactly is in store for the protests in around 150 U.S. cities. But workers involved in the movement recently cited sit-ins as an example of strategies they could use to intensify their push for higher pay and unionization. Past protests have targeted a couple of restaurants in each city for a limited time, in many cases posing little disruption to operations.

A spokesman for the Service Employees Inter national

Union, which has been spearheading the protests, said home health care aides will join the actions in some locations.

The “Fight for $15” campaign has gained national attention at a time when growing income disparities have become a hot political issue. President Barack Obama renewed his push for Congress to raise the minimum wage at a Labor Day appearance in Milwaukee.

Many fast-food workers do not make much more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. That equates to around $15,000 a year for 40 hours a week. But workers are often subject to unpredictable schedules and don’t know how many hours they’ll be given from week to week, since restaurants are careful to avoid paying overtime.

The fast-food is campaign designed to bring attention to such hardships, which few customers think about when buying burgers and

fries, said Catherine Fisk, a professor of labor law at the University of Califor nia in Irvine.

Over time, she said that could help “change the mindset” about fast-food jobs, which have historically been seen as difficult to unionize.

“The goal is to persuade workers that it doesn’t have to be this way. The goal is to persuade consumers that it doesn’t have to be this way,” she said.

“This is about getting attention to the issue.”

Fisk noted that mining and manufacturing jobs were also once considered low-wage jobs with dim prospects.

That changed in the 1930s, however, after legal protections for unionizing and actions by fedup workers helped transform the jobs into more middleclass professions.

The National Restaurant Association said in a statement that the fastfood protests are attempts by unions “to boost their dwindling membership.
