NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature “60 Minutes” commentaries about life’s large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old.

Even then, he said he wasn’t retiring. Writers never retire. But his life after the end of “A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney” was short. He died Friday night, according to CBS, only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary.

Angels support CFCC at Angel Gala JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

ROONEY DIES

THE VOICE OF THE PECOS VALLEY

SUNDAY

Attendees dressed in their festive finest, mingled, enjoyed refreshments and food and bid on items such as tickets to the Santa Fe Opera, a diamond pendant from Bullock’s Jewelry and an autographed Randy Travis guitar wall hanger at the Community Foundation of Chaves County’s 9th annual Angel Gala, Saturday evening.

The gala, which took place at Pioneer Bank, featured both a silent and live auction, and is the biggest fundraising event the foundation holds. Susie Russell, executive director at CFCC, said it was also the foundation’s biggest silent auction ever. More than 225 items were donated from various businesses in and out of town. The live auction featured more than 40 items, including a semi-automatic pistol from Larry’s Gun Shop, two Dallas Cowboys suite tickets and a signed Lou Holt football.

Roswell resident Marilyn Coffelt

said the items up for bid this year were outstanding. “I think this is some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen, for the silent auction,” she said. Coffelt has been coming to the event for around five years. “I don’t know how they do it with as few people as they have to do the work,” she said.

The foundation was established in 1998 and is one of the smallest foundations in the state, according to Russell. “It evolved from the Eastern New Mexico Medical Center Foundation, when they were a county-owned hospital. When they sold and went for-profit, that foundation evolved into the community foundation,” she said, adding the foundation includes a 12-member board.

“The foundation’s main purpose is to grow endowment money that is put into the foundation from organizations or individuals, that in turn is invested. The earnings

Hundreds of visitors left Eastern New Mexico Medical Center with complimentary pink tote bags and more than just a few health tips, Saturday.

This was thanks to the seventh annual Healthy Woman Expo and Health Fair. Brooke Linthicum, director of marketing for ENMMC, said the event is likely the biggest community outreach project the hospital hosts.

Linthicum estimates that about 500 people, men and women, visit the expo each year. Visitors were treated to a variety of free health

screenings, information on maintaining good health and contacts for health resources in the area from about 40 vendors.

But the event was hardly set up to amuse passive spectators. At least not if the Jazzercise instructors, who gave live demonstrations of their workouts, had their way.

Linthicum said the goal of the expo is to cater to the overall wellbeing of women — to their mind, body and soul. The benefits of exercise fit this aim, Linthicum said, as well as the information provided by Encore!

With an open invitation to anyone who wants to see the oftenmissed natural beauty of his or her own backyard, the Photographic Arts Society of Roswell had its first-ever public sale at the Roswell Mall, Saturday.

Prints ranged from greeting cards to poster -sized artwork.

Although some art was for sale, much of it was there to showcase the work of PASR members.

The art of photographer Barbara Scheer was both sold and showcased.

Inspired by a trip to Santa Fe, Scheer took many photographs of entrances to rusticlooking, yet emblematically New Mexican adobe buildings. When she came back from Santa Fe, she realized she had focused on doors and gates and decided to take even more photographs of the kind — in Lincoln, Taos and Cerrillos.

The collection of photographs eventually became known as “New Mexico Doors and Gates.”

Boomers’ aging casts light on geriatrics shortage

PALATKA, Fla. (AP) — In this sleepy, riverside town in northeast Florida, 86year -old Betty Wills sees the advertisements of obstetricians and gynecologists on the main road’s billboards and has found specialists ranging from cardiologists to surgeons in the phone book.

But there’s not a single geriatrician — a doctor who specializes in treating the elderly — in all of Putnam County, where a fifth of the county’s 74,000 people are seniors.

“I looked,” Wills said. “I didn’t find one.”

It’s a nationwide shortage and it’s going to get worse as the 70 million members of the baby-boom generation — those now 46 to 65 — reach their senior years over the next few decades.

The American Geriatrics Society says today there’s roughly one geriatrician for every 2,600 people 75 and older. Without a drastic

change in the number of doctors choosing the specialty, the ratio is projected to fall to one geriatrician for every 3,800 older Americans by 2030. Compare that to pediatricians: there is about 1 for every 1,300 Americans under 18.

Geriatricians, at their best, are medicine’s unsung heroes. They understand how an older person’s body and mind work differently. They listen more but are paid less than their peers. They have the skills to alleviate their patients’ ailments and living fuller, more satisfied lives.

Though not every senior needs a geriatrician, their training often makes them the best equipped to respond when an older patient has multiple medical problems. Geriatricians have expertise in areas that general internists don’t, including the changes in cognitive ability, mood,

gait, balance and continence, as well as the effects of drugs on older individuals.

But with few doctors drawn to the field and some fleeing it, the disparity between the number of geriatricians and the population it serves is destined to grow even starker.

“We’re an endangered species,” said Dr. Rosanne Leipzig, a renowned geriatrician at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York.

Geriatricians rank among the lowest-paid medical specialties, with a median salary of $183,523 last year, according to the Medical Group Management Association, which tracks physician pay. That sounds like a lot, but many other specialties pay two or three times more, while the average doctor graduates with $160,000 in student loan debt.

Just 56 percent of firstyear fellowship slots in

Roswell Daily Record

geriatrics were filled last academic year, according to a University of Cincinnati study, while the number physicians on staff at U.S. medical schools’ geriatric programs has generally been trending downward.

Many young doctors aren’t receiving even basic training in caring for older patients. Only 56 percent of medical students had clinical rotations in geriatrics in 2008, according to the study.

Various efforts around the country have aimed to increase both those choosing the geriatrics specialty and the level of training all doctors get in treating older patients.

The federal health overhaul law also includes a number of provisions aimed at increasing geriatric care. Last year, under the law, 85 grants totaling $29.5 million funded a range of geriatrics training programs for doctors, den-

tists, mental health professionals and other medical workers.

For now, though, the shortage continues.

“The shifting demographics is causing other primary care physicians to focus more on frail older adults but they do not have the training or experience to manage complex older adults with multiple chronic diseases,” said Dr. Peter DeGolia, director of the Center for Geriatric Medicine at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland.

Karen Roberto, director of the Center for Gerontology at Virginia Tech, said doctors who aren’t trained in geriatrics might have a tendency to discount an older person’s problems as normal symptoms of aging, when in fact they can be treated. She receives calls from people around the state looking for geriatricians, but oftentimes can’t

offer a recommendation.

“Going from specialist to specialist is not the answer,” she said. “Older adults need providers with comprehensive knowledge of their problems and concerns.”

For Wills, she moved with speed around the Edgar Johnson Senior Center, cooking lunch and sweeping the floor before her line dancing class began.

Wills joked about having outlived a number of her doctors, and how Jack Daniels sometimes is the best medicine. She wasn’t sure a geriatrician would have all the answers, but she thought they might understand a woman of her age better than other doctors. She was unsuccessful finding one in her county.

“They depend on tests, they depend on machines, they depend on pills,” she said. “Sometimes listening to you is better than hooking you up to machines.”

Cain says he won’t answer harassment questions THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) — Republican presidential contender Her man on Saturday vowed to answer no more questions about decade-old sexual harassment allegations and blamed jour nalists for the claims that have dogged his campaign.

Growing agitated with reporters after a one-on-one debate with rival Newt Gingrich, the former business executive suggested the reporters who asked questions about the allegations were unethical. Asked if he planned to never answer questions about the incidents, he was certain.

“You got it,” he snapped, even as the allegations leave plenty of doubts about Cain’s candidacy.

A lawyer for one of Cain’s

accusers said Friday that his client had filed a complaint “in good faith” against Cain in the 1990s for “several instances of sexual harassment” and had received a financial settlement.

Attorney Joel Bennett suggested Cain wasn’t telling the truth in his repeated denials of the incidents that allegedly took place while the Georgia businessman headed the National Restaurant Association.

Cain repeatedly has denied ever sexually harassing anyone, and his campaign said it was “looking to put this issue behind us.” Advisers had hoped Saturday night’s debate here near Houston would help do that.

Tea party organizers explicitly limited the discussion to Social Security, Medicare and Medi-

caid.

Gingrich, however, gave Cain an opportunity to address the allegations with an open-ended question about what has surprised him about running for president.

Cain didn’t hesitate: “The nitpickiness of the media,” he said.

“It is the actions and behavior of the media that have been the biggest surprise,” he said, his voice rising.

Gingrich had nothing to gain by raising allegations of improper sexual behavior by one of his rivals. The former House speaker from Georgia has been divorced twice and married three times, including to his current wife with whom he had an affair while married to his second wife.

Cashing mother’s last check The mystery of the Roswell woman who had cashed a dead woman’s Social Security check is solved.

After her picture appeared in the Roswell Daily Record and on KBIM’s website, her mother-in-law contacted the police department.

The woman, Sandy Gonzalez, was cashing her mother’s final Social Security check. Her mother had been bedridden for a long time, and according to Gonzalez, she was acting on her mother’s instruction to use the check to help pay for the funeral.

“The charges against Gonzalez have been dropped,” said Roswell Police Department spokesman Officer Travis Holley. “She had no criminal intent and there was no intent to defraud the government.”

The money from the gala goes towards CFCC’s Angel Fund. The fund provides grants to nonprofits in Chaves County, which help residents with various needs. The money raised at this year’s event will go to grants for the next year.

$17,000. Russell said this year’s goal is to raise double that amount. Over the past nine years, the foundation has given more than $96,000 to 48 dif ferent nonprofits. Yet Russell said the value of the foundation’s help to these various organizations is immeasurable. “They give so much to our community and the impact of their services is so big that without them there’s no way a lot of people would be able to maintain any kind of lifestyle.”

Representative Candy Spence Ezzell, R-Roswell, attended the gala and said the job the foundation does is awesome. “It is filling a need in the community, especially with the economic times the way that they are. And what better way to visit with friends and support a good cause. I think Susie and the foundation do a great job.”

Describing the immense

GENERAL

job the foundation has to help the multitudes in this community, Russell said, “Beyond the agencies we help in Chaves County, we help two out-of-town organizations only because they house Chaves County residents for cancer treatment.

That’s Ronald McDonald House and Casa Esperanza.”

In order to be eligible for funding from the foundation, organizations must be designated 501(c)3 by the Internal Revenue Service.

CFCC features two funding cycles, in the fall and spring. Its grant committee makes site visits and asks organizations a range of questions, and looks at their programs. The committee then makes a final decision on how the foundation can best dispense that money.

The Kid’s Closet, one of the organizations the foundation supports, provides

new and gently worn clothing, underwear, socks, shoes and essentials to low-income qualified children in Roswell and Chaves County. Cheryl Hughes, director at Kid’s Closet, said the foundation is fantastic and the gala was very nice and keeps getting better every year. The organization has received funding from CFCC twice.

Bonnie Montgomery, a member of the Angel Gala Committee, said a great quality of CFCC is its support of all dif ferent segments of Roswell. “The basic line on nonprofits is when you give you get,” she said, adding, “They’re what I call silent giants. There are so many important people here and they take no credit for themselves. And they give generously. The silent giants always step up year after year.”

chiropractor, involved seating the individual and determining how aligned the spine was. The person’s alignment then came up on a computer screen.

“By screening muscles along the spine, we’re able to see what areas are being affected by the vertebrae being pulled over and pinching nerves,” said Monica Glenn.

Nerves are crucial to one’s overall health, she said, because “the nervous system controls everything in (the) body.”

Every nerve controls a particular section of the body. When a nerve is pinched, “whatever body part that nerve goes to is not getting a full signal from the brain; therefore,

it’s not working at 100 percent,” said Monica Glenn.

A visit with the chiropractor, Glenn said, could align the spine so that there are no pinched nerves.

Glenn lauded the expo for championing a variety of treatments aside from drugs.

“There are so many other elements that help you be healthy,” she said, citing diet, exercise, massages and of course, a visit to a chiropractor.

Infor mation about an innovative health screening that can help spare the patient from trouble — both in the form of other tests as well as health issues — was also provided.

Rhonda Johnson, business development marketing representative for Pathology Consultants of New Mexico, presented infor mation about the ThinPrep Pap test, which, aside from being a pap test, also checks for HPV, gonorrhea and chlamydia.

“It’s the only test approved to do all four tests for women’s health ... out of one vial,” Johnson said. Aside from the overall women’s health test, Johnson said Pathology Consultants of New Mexico also work closely with ENMMC to provide laboratory services to all patients.

I can do. It allows me to express my artistic desires.”

Scheer also offers composition studios to those who want to learn more about composing a photograph.

Pat Laube, president of the PASR, said the fiveyear -old club has about two dozen members. No fancy equipment, formal training, or portfolio is needed to join and participate.

“A lot of these (photographs) were taken with an ordinary compact camera, what some people call point and shoot,” Laube said, referring to the prints at the show.

Laube, whose work reveals a particular fasci-

nation with nature, also showcased photographs at the show.

“I just like going out and capturing that little piece of time,” she said.

For PASR member Gennean Hendricks, photography is about capturing something that might just be missed in the blink of an eye. “(One) can take a basically ugly situation and find beauty in it by using selective focus and cropping,” Hendricks said. She accomplished this in a photograph titled “The Doe.” At first glance it may seem to be a doe staring back at the viewer. The animal is standing in what appears to be vegetation in a dark-

ened, foggy environment, suggestive of a damp morning.

Hendricks said the doe was actually standing in the middle of a dumping ground; about a fiveminute walk from a major highway.

“It’s right there, and nobody even knows (it’s) there,” Hendricks said of the spot where she found the deer.

The unexpected is a theme commonly found in good photography, at least according to member Shulamit Rymberg.

“The best photos are the surprise ones, the ones you don’t plan,” Rymberg said.

American who joined rebels returns to US LINTHICUM, Md. (AP) — An American writer who went missing in Libya for months returned to the United States on Saturday night, telling reporters he went to the north African nation to participate in the uprising against dictator Moammar Gadhafi and was on a reconnaissance mission when he was captured.

But Matthew VanDyke, 32, said his mother and girlfriend didn’t know when he set off from Baltimore for Libya that his goal was to support the revolution.

“You don’t tell your mother that you’re going to go fight in a war,” he said. “When I got out of prison, I was going to finish what I came to do.

Earlier this year, VanDyke was in Baltimore working on a book and film about a motorcycle trip across the Middle East and southeast Asia when he began to hear from friends in Libya about their relatives disappearing.

“I wasn’t going to sit back and let this happen to people I care about and not do anything about it,” he said. “I see how people are suffering under regimes like this and it’s time for it to end.”

VanDyke said he was on a reconnaissance mission in Brega with three other fighters with weapons in a truck when he was captured by Gadhafi forces. He was questioned once, he said.

OPINION

Governor eliminating waste, fraud and abuse

SANTA FE — “I will eliminate waste, fraud and abuse.” It’s the popular refrain heard from every politician running for office. Gov. Susana Martinez seems determined to actually do it.

She immediately took out after waste in state government. She declined to fill many political appointee positions from the Bill Richardson administration — even after Richardson already had cut more than 100 of a reported 500 political appointees. Martinez’s appointees are considerably below the level during Gary Johnson’s fiscally prudent administration.

The governor also has continued the modified hiring freeze from the last two years of the Richardson administration. Vacant positions are not filled unless their need can be demonstrated.

Martinez has been similarly frugal with supplies, equipment and the state’s motor pool. We don’t know about her policy on saving paper clips but she did turn back to the general fund a considerable

amount from her office at the end of the fiscal year.

Alleged fraudulent use of taxpayer money was a cornerstone of Martinez’s campaign a year ago.

Since taking office, she has made new appointments wherever she can to guard against future occurrences.

The governor has been after abuse also. Her current target is denial of flextime for state employees. Previously employees were allowed to work alternative schedules in which they arrived or left either early or late as long as they worked eight hours.

One benefit of the alternate schedules to Santa Feans has

Roswell Daily Record

been that commuter traffic has been spread over two hours instead of having massive traffic jams at 8 a.m., noon and 5 p.m.

Gov. Martinez says she will allow Cabinet secretaries to grant exceptions. Reportedly those have been rather stingy. Some employees say they will have to quit their jobs because of child care problems.

An Albuquerque television station reported on a Cabinet secretary who said his first day on the job he heard a jangle of phones ringing throughout the office at 4:30 and learned that everyone had gone home at 4 p.m.

Obviously that is a problem in need of correction. But the solution may be overdone. A report last night on the TV news said a recent study has found that working women are more productive and happier when they can work alternative schedules.

The memorandum that went to employees rescinding flex time reportedly cited budgetary reasons. That is difficult to figure

unless unsupervised employees are less productive causing a need to hire more employees.

More recently, I have heard the governor’s office say it is a customer service problem because there are fewer staff to take care of people needing assistance. That appears to be an indication that there are some jobs that may not work with flextime.

Coverage during the noon hour also can be a problem. That is the only free time some people have.

Phones that don’t get answered until 1:15 are another evidence of poor customer service. It was a major concern of former Gov. Jerry Apodaca. He decreed a 55minute lunch hour. Restaurants in the vicinity of the Capitol featured 55-minute lunch hour specials guaranteed to get state workers back to the office on time.

Gov. Apodaca made sure his edict was followed. He personally sat at his desk and called several agencies each day at 1 p.m. And

he usually asked to speak to the boss to be sure someone was taking attendance.

So Gov. Martinez is making a better stab than any past governor at curbing waste, fraud and abuse. And I’ll lay you odds she’s not through. The word is that she is looking at telecommuting from Albuquerque offices. The Public Education Department already has closed its Albuquerque office.

Maybe she’ll look at teleconferencing to eliminate travel between Albuquerque and Santa Fe for meetings.

One final note. State employees are good people. They don’t want to see other employees abusing the system. What happens in state government happens in any bureaucracy.

Let’s not get carried away.

Veterans Day

This week we honor the men and women who have worn the uniforms of our nation’s armed forces and shouldered the responsibility of safeguarding the freedoms enjoyed by us all. That our fellow citizens readily leave behind the comforts of home and the safety of our shores to confront danger in the name of freedom is a testament to the dedication and selflessness of those who serve in the military.

Veterans Day is a solemn occasion for many people as they pay tribute to veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. For others, it is a proud day to reflect on the accomplishments they or friends and family members have achieved while in uniform. It is a time to remember both the glory of victory and the horror of war alike.

Violence should always be the last option for resolving conflicts, but when it is unavoidable, it is the brave soldier, the intrepid Marine, the stalwart sailor and the valiant airman who answer the call. They serve their nation, champion the oppressed and protect their comrades at the risk of their own lives. The bond among veterans is subtle and powerful all at once.

We are grateful that our nation as a whole has set aside a day to honor those who have bravely defended our way of life. The freedoms we cherish are ours only so long as we are willing to fight for them. Without the strength of arms to defend our way of life, we will fall to the mercy of those who despise our principles and covet our prosperity.

We are also thankful the men and women of our armed forces are receiving the praise of their fellow citizens. Various local organizations will be hosting Veterans Day events this week.

At 9 a.m. Thursday, Goddard High School will conduct a program honoring veterans. At 11 a.m. Friday there will be a dedication ceremony for the Chaves County Veterans War Memorial on the lawn of the Chaves County Courthouse.

The annual Veterans Day Parade will take place Saturday and travel north from the courthouse at 10 a.m. Following the parade, the public can attend a regimental review at New Mexico Military Institute at 11 a.m.

We encourage residents to attend as many of these events as possible. Our community’s veterans took personal responsibility for protecting our safety and ensuring our freedoms. For their bravery and sacrifice, the very least our veterans deserve is recognition and gratitude from those they protected.

It is the Soldier It is the Soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer, who gives us freedom to demonstrate.

It is the Soldier, not the politicians who ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It is the Soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’d like to have whiter teeth. But no matter what I try, including whitening toothpaste and other drugstore treatments, I can’t get the brightness I want. Can professional treatments help?

DEAR READER: There are many myths and misconceptions when it comes to our teeth. One of the most common is that all stains and discolorations can be easily whitened or cleaned away. Sometimes they can, but it depends on what’s causing your tooth discoloration. Sometimes even professional procedures can’t make your teeth sparkling white.

Some stains do respond to cleaning and whitening procedures. For example, the brown

These types of stains usually respond well to professional cleaning or tooth-whitening procedures, as they did in her case.

Tooth discoloration related to damage or death of the pulp is harder to fix, but not impossible. The pulp is the soft, inner part of your tooth that contains blood vessels and nerves.

When it is damaged or killed, the tooth looks darker. Lightening the pulp with bleach can whiten the tooth’s appearance.

Even stains like these that don’t respond well to whitening or cleaning can sometimes be masked by bonding. In this procedure, the dentist paints a plastic-like material onto the tooth, which whitens it.

The benefits of an eagle environment OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

No one can predict to what heights you can soar until you spread your wings. How high can you fly? Are you an eagle? When someone looks at you, do they say, “There goes an eagle!”?

This world needs as many eagles as it can find. Don’t allow eagles to become extinct.

In 1782, when the Continental Congress put the bald eagle in the center of the Great Seal of the United States, there were as many as a half-million eagles in North America. Almost 200 years later, in 1973, the eagle was placed on the endangered list.

After decades of preservation, the eagle population has been recovering. Today there are more than 7,000 breeding pairs.

Eagles are interesting birds. An eagle can see a rabbit on the ground from two miles away. Its eyes work like a telescope. Talk about the ability to focus!

Eagles have endurance. One of my favorite verses in the Bible, Isaiah 40:31, speaks of the strength and energy that eagles possess, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall

run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

I heard a talk by author and motivational speaker John Maxwell in which he speaks about the concept of an “Eagle Environment.” It got me thinking.

An Eagle Environment can apply to our individual life or our family life. It can apply to the job we work or to civic organizations that we belong to. It can apply to our church or to our community. It is an attitude or an atmosphere that can exist in many areas.

Let me explain to you what an Eagle Environment is. An Eagle Environment must have an eagle or eagles as leaders. The leadership must lead with integrity. It must lead by example. The leadership must know the way, go the way, and show the way.

An Eagle Environment has no

room for turkeys. Hence the saying, “You can’t fly with eagles if you work with turkeys.” Turkeys hamper and can even prevent an Eagle Environment. You will never get a turkey to fly like an eagle. If an eagle is leading a pack of turkeys, it will never meet its potential. It will never get very far from the ground. Turkeys need to be converted or else they will be left behind.

Eagles make good leaders. A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles ... they don’t flock, you find them one at a time.

Eagle leadership seeks out other eagles or those with the potential to become eagles. No organization can be any better than the individuals who make up the organization. Eagles seek to bring other eagles alongside them. Eagles attract eagles.

Eagles continue to improve themselves through personal

growth. They recognize that the opposite of growth is death. They are constantly seeking selfimprovement to equip them to soar higher.

An Eagle Environment births eaglets. It takes existing eagles, new eaglets and converted turkeys and nurtures each of them. It cultivates a “can do” attitude among its members. It is a positive and uplifting atmosphere. An Eagle Environment puts wind beneath others’ wings.

Its goal is to help each of the other members develop to their maximum potential and to help each eagle spread its wings and reach new heights as each is able.

The motto of an Eagle Environment is “whatever it takes.” It has a vision that needs to be accomplished. Everything that happens in an Eagle Environment is designed to accomplish a mission. An Eagle Environment celebrates the victories of its members. It recognizes the efforts of the team.

Do you create an Eagle Environment? Are you fortunate enough to live in an Eagle Environment that has been created by

new questions” and then when you do provide them additional information they say you should have provided it before and must be covering something up, prompting even more questions.

One cannot say what, if any, political motives the anonymous female accusers might have, or even if they helped bring these charges to Politico. So much of this is subjective. What is known is that a charge of sexual harassment is not proof that sexual harassment occurred.

This story also has a noxious odor of racism about it. Historically, perhaps the worst stereotype directed at AfricanAmerican men is that they are oversexed and constantly on the prowl for female conquests.

Cain’s candidacy has unnerved the Washington political establishment. I have just finished his book “This is Herman Cain!: My Journey to the White House.” In it, I learned that Cain is a self-made man who achieved success without government and without selfloathing. He is the enemy of big government, and of Democrats’ “can’t do” condescending attitude toward minorities.

Cain exudes a positive and optimistic spirit.

rats have built to keep disenfranchised minorities down and voting for Democrats for fear their government programs will end. Cain has a better way and he writes about it in his inspiring personal story, which is the embodiment of the American Dream.

This is why Cain is being excoriated by the liberal left. Even some in the Republican establishment wish he would just go away. There will be more on this as reporters and tabloids throw money at Cain’s accusers, seeking to get them to talk in violation of their termination agreements.

If you’re wondering why more qualified people don’t run for office, consider what is being done to Herman Cain.

People don’t want every mistake or bad decision they’ve made trumpeted from the rooftops and so they avoid politics to the nation’s detriment.

Cain may ultimately triumph over these allegations. On Monday Cain recorded his biggest fundraising day ever, netting $400,000. Still, the best defense is a good of fense and what would be best for Cain is for him to get all the facts out, immediately, before his enemies do it for him.

My challenge to you is to be an eagle. There is nothing holding you back but yourself. Create or contribute to an Eagle Environment. No one can predict to what heights you can soar until you spread your wings. So spread your wings and see what you can accomplish. And remember to take others with you. Help others become eagles. Help others fly as high as their wings will allow them. By being the wind beneath others’ wings, they will become the wind beneath your wings and together you can fly as high as an eagle.

Rakes and Pains….they may go together!

Relax! If you didn’t turn back your clock already, you have another hour to get ready. Mountain Standard Time is here. Yes, it’s that time of year again and the leaves are changing and beginning to fall from the trees. This is a great time of year, but there are some safety hazards.

Raking leaves requires a number of different activities, including twisting, bending, lifting and reaching, each utilizing several different muscle groups.

Tools must be used properly to avoid getting hurt.

You can ease the strain and pain of raking -- fall's most taxing task- - by taking the following precautions to minimize your risk of sus-

taining an injury: 1.Avoid twisting your body while raking. Use your legs to shift your weight rather than twisting your back. Throwing leaves over the shoulder or to the side while raking involves twisting movements that can overly strain the muscles in the back.

2.Use a properly-sized rake for your height and strength.

3.Wear gloves to help prevent blisters on the hands.

4.Bend at the knees, rather than the waist, to pick up items.

5.Do some form of light exercise for ten minutes to warm up the muscles prior to raking.

Field of Honor

The ceremony will begin at 9:30 a.m. The NMMI drill and color team will be presenting along with area soloists and the GHS Choir. Miss New Mexico Sarina Turnbull will also be attending the ceremony. The public is invited to attend. For more information call Mr. Robert Fancher at Goddard High School at 627-4800.

6.Try to vary your movements as much as you can to avoid overuse of muscle groups.

7.Wear shoes with skidresistant soles to minimize the risk of falling. Sturdy shoes can also reduce the risk of injuries to your feet.

8.Don’t overdo. Raking is an aerobic activity – you

may need to take frequent breaks or slow your pace if you are an infrequent exerciser. (It’s better to live with the leaves tomorrow than with a sore back!)

9.As with any for m of exercise, be sure to drink plenty of fluids to combat dehydration.

10.When you’re done, gentle muscle stretching can help relieve tension in the muscles. A hot bath can relax muscles.

11.Wear safety glasses and hearing protection when operating a leaf blower. Keep everyone clear of the air stream and the blown materials, which can cause potential injuries As we begin our shift from the war m summer

months to the cold winter months, we wish to remind you of a few other autumn safety considerations.

Give Space Heaters Space: Remember to leave at least three feet of space around your heater.

Unplug it when it's not being used.

Test and maintain your CO Detector, your Smoke Detector and your fire extinguishers.

Never Heat with an Oven: On chilly autumn mornings, avoid the temptation to warm the kitchen with a gas range or an open oven door.

Wear Gloves While Doing Yard Work: It is the season for cleaning up. To help avoid blisters and other

injuries, be sure to wear gloves while doing yard work.

Use Your Legs to Lift Heavy Items: Whether you are putting things away for storage, or carrying garbage and yard waste to the curb, be sure to use your legs to avoid back injuries.

A vagueness surrounds a boss, which makes it difficult to please him or her, much less come out ahead of the game. Suppressing anger doesn’t work. Try to work through an issue within. Tonight: Keep your goal in mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) # # # A boss knows how to trigger you and move you in his or her chosen direction. You could feel vague about alternatives, though you are sure there are quite a few. Relax rather than get absorbed mentally and cause yourself a problem or lose your temper. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) # ## ## Let your imagination wander. While someone might be vaguely upset with your lack of interest, you also could make a mistake financially. Try not to distort the here and now with your mental leaps. Try being more understanding with a partner. Tonight: Put on a good piece of music.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ## ## You might be losing your temper a bit more easily than in the past. You might wonder what is going on. Rest assured you are not the only person asking this question. A partner or close associate could be confused. Be direct. Tonight: Dinner for two.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) # # # # Others steal the stage and interfere with what you see your message to be. As tension mounts, you worry. You know what you want and why. Now allow yourself to wait a few more days as others expound on their views. Tonight: Work out stress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ## # # Be aware of your limits. A friend might push to get you more involved. A meeting could demand much more from you than you originally thought. Knowing your boundaries and how to say no could be more important than you realize.

Tonight: When tired, call it a night.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) # # # # # Let your imagination flow. You could encounter some frustration when dealing with a boss, who seems irate and difficult to handle. You might be confused on a deep level as to what you did or how you triggered this person. Don’t push. Tonight: Ever playful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) # # # Don’t push too hard to get an agreement. Before you know it, others could act strangely. Your sixth sense kicks in, giving you direction on what to do. Make phone calls to those you believe really understand the dynamics. Tonight: Give it time!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) # ## Your words might not have the impact you desire. You don’t know what you want or where you are heading. Be careful with your finances, even in front of an expert. He or she might not have the same ideas as you. In this case, this person could be wrong. Tonight: Listen rather than offer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) # # # # Someone comes on a little too strong for your taste. All you can do is be your gracious self. Your willingness to get past an immediate problem touches another person, even if he or she gives you flak. Understand what needs to happen.

Tonight: Stay centered.

Rock marathon bringing 23,000 runners to Savannah Initiative of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — What has 46,000 running shoes, more than 40 rock bands, 26.2 miles of streets closed to traffic and zero hotel vacancies? A new event for Savannah that could become one of its most lucrative tourism events.

After 13 years of bringing a rock concert vibe to lung-

busting road races in larger cities from Las Vegas to Nashville, the Rock ’n’ Roll Marathon will hold its first full and half marathons in Georgia’s oldest city this weekend.

Registration for both races sold out months ago, meaning 23,000 runners have signed up to be at the start-

ing line in front of City Hall when the marathon kicks off at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

Visit Savannah, the city’s tourism bureau, estimates the marathon could bring $23 million — or $1,000 per runner — in direct spending on lodging and souvenirs, cross-training before the race and massages after-

ward, not to mention big dinners and breakfasts so runners can fuel up for the course.

“We have had a lot of questions from runners about where’s the best place to get the most carbs and protein on a Friday night or Saturday morning,” said Joe Marinelli, president of Visit

Savannah. “Drug stores will stock up on pain reliever and ACE bandages, grocery stores will stock up on bananas and bottled water.

The spinoff business in these other areas beyond hotels and restaurants is significant.”

Started in California in 1998, the Rock ’n’ Roll

Marathon added Savannah to its tour schedule of 18 U.S. cities this year. It’s the smallest city ever to host one of the events, which feature cheerleaders and live rock bands — local acts aside from the headliner, Los Angeles-based band Carolina Lair — at every mile of the course.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS FORMER PENN ST. COACH CHARGED IN CHILD SEX CASE

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A former defensive coordinator who was integral for decades to Penn State’s success in football was accused Saturday of sexually abusing eight boys, and the school’s athletic director and an administrator were charged with perjury and failing to report what they knew about the allegations in a case that prosecutors said uncovered a years-long trail of a predator and those who protected him.

Former coach Jerry Sandusky, 67, of State College, was arrested Saturday and released on $100,000 bail after being arraigned on 40 criminal counts, the state attorney general’s office said.

Athletic director Tim Curley, 57, and Penn State vice president for finance and business Gary Schultz, 62, both of Boalsburg, were expected to turn themselves in Monday in Harrisburg. Schultz’s position includes oversight of the university’s police department.

Longtime head coach Joe Paterno, who has more victories than any coach in the history of Division I football, was not charged, authorities said, and the grand jury report did not appear to implicate him in wrongdoing. It said that when Paterno first learned of one report of abuse, he immediately reported it to Curley, but Sandusky was no longer coaching at the time and it’s not clear whether Paterno followed up with Curley.

Sandusky, closely identified with the school’s reputation as a defensive powerhouse and a program that produced top-quality linebackers, retired in 1999 but continued to work with atrisk children through the nonprofit Second Mile organization he founded in 1977. He was charged with multiple counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of a child, indecent assault and unlawful contact with a minor, as well as single counts of aggravated indecent assault and attempted indecent assault.

A preliminary hearing for Sandusky is scheduled for Wednesday, but his lawyer told reporters it would likely be delayed.

“He’s shaky, as you can expect,” defense attorney Joe Amendola told WJACTV outside the arraignment hearing. “Being 67 years old, never having faced criminal charges in his life, and having the distinguished career that he’s had, these are very serious allegations.”

NMMI falls in semis to Westerners Section

Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

CLARENDON, Texas — Any loss, no matter the opponent and no matter the situation, is a difficult thing to deal with for any team.

When that loss comes with a team you’re supposed to beat and comes after you have match point four times, it’s even more difficult.

The New Mexico Military Institute volleyball team was dealt exactly that kind of a loss on Saturday in the NJCAA Region V West semifinals in Clarendon, Texas.

“We gave (Western Texas) the game,” said Bronco coach Shelby Fortchner about the 25-17, 13-25, 25-22, 17-25, 15-17 loss to the third-seeded Western Texas Westerners.

“We had it in our hands and we gave it to them.

They didn’t take it from us, it was us making all those errors. A bad pass, two bad swings and then, to finish it off, a really bad swing. It wasn’t them doing anything magical, we did it to ourselves.”

What the Broncos did to themselves is give up a 2-1 advantage in the match by losing back-to-back sets and letting the match slip

away after ear ning four cracks at match point in the fifth set.

The missed chances on match point is what will linger most with the Bronco sophomores who played their last match at the Institute and the freshmen who helped put NMMI in a position to win a match at the regional tournament.

(28-14) led NMMI throughout the opening part of the fifth set, but back-to-back points by WTC tied the set at 11.

From there, NMMI won three in a row to get to its first match point.

Western (20-12) won that point, though, and won the next two as well to tie the set at 14-all.

NMMI got another crack at match point at 15-14, but the Westerners staved off a loss once again.

They then went from a mistake away from the offseason to the Region V West Championship match by winning the next two points for a 17-15 win.

“The ball was in our freshmen’s hands,” Fortchner said about what happened late in the fifth set.

“Natalie (Williamson) made a bad pass, Natalie hit a ball straight into the block, Madison (White) hit a ball

Football is a team game and that was evident with the Gateway Warrior game against Animas on Saturday.

The Warrior offense struggled for much of the game, but the Gateway defense kept the Panthers off the scoreboard in a 20-0 Warrior win that propelled them into the 8-Man semifinals against Mountainair.

In Gateway’s 28-0 win over Animas on Sept. 23, Warrior coach Shaun Wigley said his defense played a bend-but-don’t-break style of defense and that would be the case again on Saturday.

Upsets rule on Day 2 of Breeders’ Cup

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Upsets ruled on the second day of the Breeders’ Cup, with Afleet Again pulling off the biggest surprise at 41-1 odds in the Marathon and 18-year-old Irishman Joseph O’Brien winning the Tur f for his father trainer Aidan O’Brien on Saturday.

Later, Uncle Mo was the early favorite for the $5 million Classic, with filly Havre de Grace taking on the boys in the showcase race of the two-day world championships.

Goldikova was poised to go for her record fourth consecutive win in the $2 million Mile. Union Rags was the early 2-1 choice in the Juvenile, with the winner likely becoming the early favorite for the Kentucky Derby.

In the Marathon, Afleet Again rallied to win by 2¼ lengths under Cor nelio Velasquez. He paid $85.20.

The younger O’Brien was aboard 6-1 longshot St Nicholas Abbey, who won the $3 million Turf by 2¼ lengths, making him the youngest jockey to win in the 28-year history of the Breeders’ Cup. The 4-yearold colt from Ireland paid $15.60 to win.

At 6-feet, O’Brien isn’t expected to have a long career in flat racing. As he gets older, his height and weight gain likely will force him to change to steeplechasing.

“It’s over this world,” O’Brien said about helping his father win his second race of the day. They embraced in the winner’s circle.

“Wonderful race. Incredible,” Aidan O’Brien said.

“What can I say? He’s an amazing rider.”

Joseph O’Brien has been part of family trips to the Breeders’ Cup since he was a child. He rode his first winner in May 2009, and earlier this year scored his first victory in a prestigious Group 1 race.

“My heart was going 100 miles an hour,” his mother, Anne-Marie O’Brien, said.

“I could hardly stand up I was so nervous.”

St Nicholas Abbey’s victory was the second of the day for Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier and Michael Tabor, who won the Juvenile Tur f with Wrote.

Gateway’s defense stuffed the Panthers on three straight runs, and on fourth down from the five, Andrew Meeks forced a fumble that kept Animas off the board and gave Gateway the ball at its own three.

Wigley said his defense came up big on the goal line stand.

“It was a great effort,” he said. “We had a little adversity and we stepped up. Animas likes to run at us and that’s what they did, but we had that bend-but-don’tbreak mentality. We knew they were going to have some success grinding it out, but our defense just came up huge (on that stop). They weren’t able to score because we stiffened when we had to.”

half, even though they turned the ball over on fourth down at the Panther 25. The drive was a success because it flipped the field and didn’t force Gateway to punt from its own end zone with a swirling win that was wreaking havoc on long snaps.

After the Gateway defense forced a turnover on downs, the Warriors turned the ball over again on the next play, setting Animas up at the Panther 40 with 15 seconds left in the first quarter.

Animas ate up 7:50 after the Warrior turnover on a 14-play drive that stalled at the Warrior 24 thanks to a forced fumble by Gateway’s Nathan Bishop.

The game would remain scoreless until the early fourth quarter.

After a 1yard run by Miller and a 5yard reception by Bishop, the Warriors faced a thirdand-5. Miller picked up the first down on the third down and gave the Warriors the lead on the next play.

The senior quarterback went off-tackle to the right and after a great block by Bishop, was able to cut back to the middle and outrace the Panther defense for a 35-yard touchdown.

The Miller score ignited the Gateway offense and after a turnover on downs, the Warriors grew their lead after a 9-play, 36-yard drive that culminated with a 5yard touchdown pass from Miller to Moody.

Gateway put the game away after they recovered a squib kick on the ensuing kickoff and marched 41yards on nine plays, the last of which was a 1-yard scoring plunge by Miller that made the score 20-0.

“It was perseverance,” he said. “ The offense didn’t kill us in the first half and did enough to where we weren’t pinned back, but the defense carried us in that first half. Mason Miller picked it up in the fourth quarter.”

The win set up a rematch with Mountainair, who beat the Warriors 38-24 in Week 1 of the regular season.

In that game Gateway was tied with the Mustangs with 4:05 left in the game, before Mountainair pulled away. Wigley said he expected another tight game this time.

“I expect it will be one of those close games again,” he said. “I don’t remember having too many boring games with Mountainair. It usually comes down to the fourth quarter and I expect that again. We just have to get our guys rested up, get back to work and get back to doing what we are doing.”

LSU outlasts Alabama, 9-6

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — No. 1 LSU gained the inside track to the BCS title game, beating No. 2 Alabama 9-6 on Drew Alleman’s 25-yard field goal in overtime after a fierce defensive struggle in which neither team reached the end zone Saturday night.

The Crimson Tide missed four field goals, including Cade Foster’s 52-yard attempt after Alabama got the ball first in the extra period. LSU appeared to win the game on Michael Ford’s run around left end after taking a pitch, but he stepped out of bounds at the 7.

After two plays gained nothing, LSU (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) sent on Alleman to attempt his third field goal of the game on third down. Alabama (8-1, 5-1) tried to freeze him by calling timeout, but he calmly knocked it through to set off a wild celebration by the visiting team.

New Mexico JC 53, NMMI 49 HOBBS — NMMI lost its final game of the Thunderbird Classic to New Mexico Junior College on Saturday.

The Broncos (1-2) trailed by as many as 10 in the second half, before battling back to within three, but couldn’t complete the comeback.

NMMI coach Sean Schooley said that he was proud of the team’s effort.

“It was a close game the entire way,” he said. “ We battled and the kids played hard. I am really proud of them. We didn’t quit and that is a good sign with a young team. I hate to lose, but I was encouraged with our effort.”

Royce Williams led NMMI with 13 points and nine rebounds, while Desmond Barnes chipped in with 11 points.

SD State grabs 35-7 win over New Mexico SAN DIEGO (AP) — Walter Kazee ran for a career-high three touchdowns as San Diego State cruised to a 35-7 win over New Mexico on Saturday night.

Ronnie Hillman, the FBS’s leading rusher, ran for 141 yards and a touchdown for the Aztecs (5-3, 2-2 Mountain West).

The Lobos (0-9, 0-4), one of only two winless FBS teams, stretched their losing streak to 12 games. New Mexico’s last win came Nov. 6, 2010, against Wyoming.

Kazee, who entered with five career rushing TDs, had never scored more than one in a game. Hillman, who came in averaging 151 yards per game, scored on a 1yard run.

Chad Young added a 3-yard scoring run for the Aztecs. San Diego State’s five rushing touchdowns were its most in more than 15 years.

Ryan Lindley completed 16 of 24 passes for 271 yards as the Aztecs gained 486 yards. The Lobos had just 162 yards of offense.

Crusoe Gongbay scored on a 6-yard run just before halftime for New Mexico.

It was the first time in eight games New Mexico has held an opponent to less than 42 points.

Kazee’s first TD capped a 66-yard drive late in the first quarter and San Diego State took a 14-0 lead with 4:26 before halftime on Kazee’s 3-yard run.

New Mexico, which had been shut out in its last two games, had its only sustained drive of the game on its next possession. The Lobos went 80 yards on nine plays with Crusoe Gongbay scoring on a 6-yard run just before halftime to cut the San Diego State lead to 14-7.

Phillies sign veteran slugger Thome to 1-year deal

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jim Thome wants his second stint in Philadelphia to come with the World Series title he missed the first time around.

Thome agreed to a $1.25 million, oneyear contract with the Phillies on Saturday, returning to the franchise for a second time.

The 41-year-old Thome hit .256 with 15 home runs and 50 RBI in a combined 93 games with the Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians last season. He batted .350 with runners in scoring position and .424 over his final 11 games of the season.

"Every player sees the way the Phillies have done things," Thome said. "They've set the bar very, very high.”

Thome played for Philadelphia from 2003-05 and has remained close with Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, his hitting coach for several years in Cleveland.

"Everyone knows my relationship with Jimmy," Manuel said. "But he's not here because of that. He's here to contribute to our team in a positive way, both on and off the field."

Thome hit .260 with 96 home runs and 266 RBIs in his first stint with the Phillies.

"I think the Phillies have set the bar very high in baseball," Thome said. "This is as good a place in baseball right now to be in."

Thome has a .277 career average with 604 homers and 1,674 RBIs. He is one of just eight players to hit more than 600 homers.

Thome was once considered the Phillies' franchise player when he signed as a free agent in the winter of 2002.

With his down-home charm and mammoth homers, Thome was an instant hit in Philadelphia. He led the NL in homers in 2003 with 47 and hit 42 the next season. In the final game at Veterans Stadium in 2003, Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt raised Thome's hand at home plate in a symbolic passing of the torch.

On June 14, 2004, Thome hit career homer No. 400 in Philadelphia.

Back and elbow injuries limited him to 59 games in 2005, when he slumped to .207 with seven homers and 30 RBIs in 193 atbats. Ryan Howard's emergence made it easier to consider moving Thome.

Howard is recovering from surgery on his left Achilles. Thome, expected to add some left-handed pop off the bench, could be called on to play first base. Thome said he'll be preparing this offseason. Aside from a symbolic appearance at third base for the Indians in his finale at Progressive Field this season, Thome has not played defensively since 2007.

Thome had been taking his career year by year. When Amaro and the Phillies called early in the free agency period, Thome jumped at the reunion.

"When a team like the Phillies called, that's a great opportunity to be in," he said.

"There was history here. I think to me, it was a good decision."

Thome went to the World Series in 1995 and 1997 but the Indians came up short both times. He left after the 2002 season and signed a six-year, $85 million deal with the Phillies. Thome helped usher in the Phillies' move to Citizens Bank Park in 2004 and their rise to NL East contenders.

He was traded before the Phillies started their current run of five straight NL East titles. The Phillies won the World Series in 2008 and were eliminated this season by eventual champion St. Louis in the NL division series.

Winning a World Series is the lone void over Thome's stellar career. He believes a return to the perennial NL power can help win him a ring.

"When they win, they create a lot of very good things," Thome said.

NBA owners, players try again to close money gap

NEW YORK (AP) — NBA owners and players are trying again to end the lockout before it can do further damage to an already-shortened schedule.

They resumed negotiations Saturday with federal mediator George Cohen, who faced a difficult task in trying to help the sides close the financial gap that derailed talks again last week.

Hall of Famer and Charlotte owner Michael Jordan, plus Portland billionaire owner Paul Allen joined the bargaining, along with the usual owners' labor relations committee. Both are believed to be hardliners who want to offer the players an economic deal even worse than the proposal they already have rejected.

Owners are determined not to give players anything more than a 50-50 split of basketball-related income. Players, who were guaranteed 57 percent under the old collective bargaining agreement, have proposed a reduction to 52.5 percent, leaving the sides about $100 million apart annually based on last season's revenues.

Talks broke down last Friday when neither side would budge. Commissioner David Stern then canceled all games through November and warned that future owners' proposals could be made with their "extraordinary" losses from the missed games in mind.

A number of owners would favor that. A person briefed on the owners' position Friday told The Associated Press that there were many hardline owners who want a deal at 53-47 in their favor plus a hard cap, and that the rest wouldn't go beyond a 50-50 split.

Some issues related to the salary cap system remain, but the BRI split has emerged as a more significant obstacle.

Talks have broken off each of the last two times the sides discussed it, including the previous time Cohen took part.

They met for three straight days with him last month before players said owners insisted they accept a "take it or leave it" 50-50 split before any further discussions of the system. Allen made a rare appearance that day, and union officials said they believed his presence served as a message from the hardliners that there would be no further economic compromise.

When talks broke down again last week, Stern and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said union executive director Billy Hunter told them he couldn't accept less than 52 percent because of pressure from agents. Some players have since taken part in conference calls to discuss the option of decertifying the union if they don't get what they consider a fair proposal.

But taking their fight to the courts with an antitrust lawsuit likely would mean missing the entire season, so both sides have said they believe bargaining is the best route to a deal.

Owners met earlier Saturday, the 128th

day of the lockout, for an update on the negotiations and a discussion of the league's plans to expand revenue sharing among teams. Both sides then met individually with Cohen before the bargaining session began.

A guide to the 2011-12 college hoops season

The NBA season is on hold and seems as if it will never start.

No worries hoops fans, there will be plenty to watch — the college basketball season is upon us.

It didn't seem all that long ago that Connecticut and one-man gang Kemba Walker cut down the nets in Houston after beating mid-major monster Butler in its second straight trip to the title game.

Now, there's a new season with a new set of story lines — some pretty interesting ones, too.

The Tar Heels, Ohio State, Kentucky and UConn are among the front-runners to cut down the nets in New Orleans on April 2.

Super sophomores Jared Sullinger of Ohio State and North Carolina's Harrison Barnes are the likely favorites to be the player of the year.

Many college hoops fans already knew that.

To get ready for a season that's actually going to start on time, here's a few other things to keep an eye on.

STORY LINES Can North Carolina go undefeated? No team has done it since Indiana in 1975-76 and the odds aren't all that good, particularly with games against Kentucky, Texas and Michigan State on the nonconference schedule. But the Tar Heels do have a lineup that could include five NBA first-round draft picks and the ACC isn't all that strong this season, so you never know.

The new stars. College basketball lost some big names, with Walker, Derrick Williams and The Jimmer off to play in the NBA. Ohio State's Jared Sullinger and Harrison Barnes of North Carolina figure to be the best bets to be the ones to take their places, but there are plenty of talented players around the country, from UConn's Jeremy Lamb, Pittsburgh's Ashton Gibbs and Kentucky's Terrence Jones, among others.

Mike Krzyzewski's run at history. The Duke coach has 900 wins, leaving him two behind Bob Knight to become the winningest men's basketball coach in Division I history. Coach K can tie the record Nov. 12 at home against Presbyterian and pass Knight three nights later against Michigan State at Madison Square Garden.

Can Butler make it to a third straight title game? The Bulldogs pulled off one of the more improbable feats in college basketball history by coming a half-second shot away from beating Duke in the 2010 national title game, then making it all the way back to face UConn last season. Chances are the small school with the tough academic standards won't have much of a shot, but the Bulldogs have been the kings of proving everyone wrong, so don't count them out.

Big East blast off. This could be the final season of the Big East as we know it, with Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia all bolting for new conferences. The Big East is set to invite SMU, Houston and Central Florida — along with Boise State, Navy and Air Force in football — but it won't be quite the same, so we should enjoy it while we can.

FABULOUS FRESHMEN Every season, there are a handful of freshmen who have an immediate impact on their teams — half of those seemingly coming from Kentucky, sort of a clearinghouse for the nation's best 18 and 19-year-olds under coach John Calipari.

Well, he's got another stellar group and there are a few more fab freshmen who could play a big role for their teams this season. Here's a few: Anthony Davis, Kentucky. Coach Cal has been hit with more than his share of oneand-done stars, but always seems to find another diamond to take their place. Davis is the latest freshman star in the making, an athletic and versatile big man who was rated the No. 1 overall prospect by many recruiting services.

Andre Drummond, Connecticut. The Huskies lost King Kemba to the NBA. Drummond, a dominating center, gives them a realistic shot at repeating as champions.

Josiah Turner, Arizona. Wildcats coach Sean Miller has shown off his chops as a recruiter, consistently bringing in some of the best classes in the country. He did it again with a 2011 group that includes Turner, a big, pass-first point guard who should help ease the loss of Derrick Williams in the desert.

Austin Rivers, Duke. The son of former NBA player and current Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers, Austin is, no surprise, a heady player. He knows how to get an offense flowing and has a good range of his jumper, which should help the Blue Devils after Kyrie Irving left for the NBA. Jabari Brown, Oregon. The Ducks are a sleeper pick in the reconfigured Pac-12 and Brown is a key reason. The shooting guard is known for hit 3-point touch, but can drive to the basket as well.

NUMBERS 2 — Number of ACL injuries suffered by Purdue forward Robbie Hummel, who, cross your fingers, should be a dominant force in the Big Ten this season.

4 — Number of guards Florida coach Billy Donovan could use on the court at the same time this season.

7 — Straight times Kansas has won or shared the Big 12 title, a string that even Jayhawks coach Bill Self says could be in jeopardy.

7-2 — Odds for North Carolina to win the national title this season, lowest from Bodog.com.

10 — NCAA tournament wins by Butler the past two seasons, two more than Duke, the next closest team.

22.3 — Points per game by Northern Illinois' Xavier Silas, the top returning Division I scorer.

34 — Age of Virginia Commonwealth coach Shaka Smart, the hottest commodity in coaching who turned down overtures to remain with the Rams.

36.3 — Shooting percentage allowed by Florida State to lead the nation for the second straight season, also best in the ACC in 52 years.

62 — First-place votes out of a possible 65 for North Carolina in The Associated Press preseason Top 25 poll.

805 — Consecutive games with a 3pointer by UNLV, a streak that keeps going and going and ...

MIGHTY MID-MAJORS Butler has set the standard for midmajors, making improbable runs to the national title games the past two seasons.

Shaka and VCU made it a mid-major mashup in Houston by making it to the Final Four with the Bulldogs.

So which mid-majors are poised to make the most noise this season? We're glad you

SCOREBOARD

asked.

Memphis. With the run the Tigers have had the past few years, they've reached a level above mid-major, perhaps into supermid-major, or whatever you want to call it.

Coach Josh Pastner has done a superb job in recruiting and with those young players becoming more experienced, Memphis could be ready for a deep run.

Xavier. Another are-they-really-a-midmajor program. The Musketeers have made seven straight trips to the NCAA tournament and regularly go deep, despite last season's disappointing first-round exit. Xavier has a versatile lineup filled with experienced players, led by Atlantic 10 player of the year Tu Holloway.

Gonzaga. No list of mid-majors is complete without the Zags. Gonzaga has had an impressive run under coach Mark Few, winning or sharing the past 11 West Coast Conference titles. The addition of BYU to the league could put that streak in jeopardy, but the Zags have that been-there-done-that mindset and are loaded up front, led by Robert Sacre and Elias Harris.

Butler. OK, we couldn't stay away.

Whether it was the Bulldogs' don't-count-usout run the past two years or wanting to get our paws on fan favorite Blue 2 again in New Orleans, we had to include them on the list.

NEW COACHES Every year, the reigns of a program are handed over to a new coach after the last one was either fired or left. Last season was one for the record books, with about four dozen programs bringing in new bosses.

Here's a few of the high-profile new hoops leaders: Mike Anderson, Arkansas. The former Nolan Richardson protégé had a solid run away from Fayetteville, putting up winning records at UAB and Missouri while taking his teams to the NCAA tournament six times in nine years. He brings hard-nosed experience and nostalgia to the Razorbacks.

Lon Kruger, Oklahoma. Jeff Capel did a nice job of helping the Sooners rebound from the Kelvin Sampson era, but the past couple of seasons were a struggle. In comes Kruger, the steady coach who's had success pretty much everywhere he's been, leading four different teams to the NCAA tournament.

Cuonzo Martin, Tennessee. The Vols were left in disarray after an NCAA investigation and Bruce's Pearl's admittance that he lied to investigators, which eventually led to his firing. Martin turned Missouri State into the Missouri Valley Conference's topscoring team with his frenetic offense, which should be a good fit for the Vols and the SEC. Mark Turgeon, Maryland. For the first time since 1989, Gary Williams won't be screaming and sweating through his suit in front of Maryland's bench after retiring during the offseason. The Terps couldn't lure Sean Miller away from Arizona, but found a pretty good one in Turgeon, who led Texas A&M to four straight NCAA tournament appearances before he left College Station.

Woods' former caddies rips him with racial comment

SHANGHAI (AP) — Already one of the most festive evenings in golf, the annual Caddies Awards roast was buzzing with talk that Tiger Woods' former caddie might be getting a prize.

One award was called "Celebration of the Year." Everyone knew who would get it and why.

The surprise was how Steve Williams ripped into his old boss with a racial slur that caused even more commotion involving the jilted caddie and golf's biggest name.

"He's a character within the game of golf, and whatever bitterness that exists between him and Tiger should be in the past by now," said Graeme McDowell, one of several players at the party. "It's unfortunate that it's going to rear its head again."

Williams, still angered over getting fired

by Woods this summer, was working for Adam Scott when he won the Bridgestone Invitational. That tournament also was the first time Woods played since splitting with his caddie. An emotionally charged Williams gave a TV interview on the 18th green and called it "the best win of my life," even though he had been on the bag for 13 majors with Woods.

On Friday night, the host called Williams to the stage to collect his award and asked him to explain his enthusiasm. Williams, with a smirk on his face, leaned toward the microphone and said, "It was my aim to shove it right up that black a------."

On a night filled with banter and off-color remarks, this one was a show-stopper.

Heads turned, eyes widened and jaws dropped amid a mixture of shock and laughter.

Williams later issued a statement apologizing to Woods. That was good enough for Scott, who said he had no plans to fire his caddie.

"I think everything in that room last night was all in good spirits and for a bit of fun," Scott said after his third round Saturday at the HSBC Champions. "And I think it probably got taken out of that room in the wrong context."

Even as players and caddies spilled into the bar, they couldn't stop talking about it — some because of the racial overtones, some because of how Williams so openly showed his disdain for Woods.

The ground rules for the roast is that everything is off the record, yet this was bound to get out.

A group of British reporters returning from a night out in Shanghai were at the hotel bar when at least one caddie told them what was said. Williams was stunned the next morning to learn that his comments had been published.

"Why would they do that?" he said. "The whole thing was meant to be fun."

He shook his head and walked away without wanting to say more. Hours later, Williams posted a comment on his website.

"I apologize for comments I made last night at the Annual Caddy Awards dinner in Shanghai," it said. "Players and caddies look forward to this evening all year, and the spirit is always joking and fun. I now realize how my comments could be construed as racist. However, I assure you that was not my intent. I sincerely apologize to Tiger and anyone else I've offended."

Woods was in Australia, though it didn't take long for the comments to get back to him.

"I was with Tiger last night when he heard the news," agent Mark Steinberg said.

"We got multiple calls from people who sounded like they were leaving the caddie party. Tiger obviously wasn't there. He does not know exactly what was said. But if multiple reports — which all seem to be accurate — are true, then it's sad it's come down to this."

"It's a regrettable comment, and there's really nothing that Tiger can do or say. He's just going to move on."

Scott said he was satisfied with Williams' apology and that his comments were not reported in the right spirit of the evening.

When asked if Williams should be fired, Scott said, "I disagree with that."

"Look, anything with Tiger involved is a story," Scott said. "I value Steve's contribution to my game and having him on the bag.

While he's caddying, I hope he can caddie for me."

Scott said he did not talk to Williams about it after the awards party — both stayed to the end — or on the course Saturday morning. Asked about comments that Williams was racist, Scott replied, "I think we all know that's not the case."

"Those things are not meant to go past that room," Scott said. "Obviously, somebody took it out and that's the way it goes.

There's really no safe haven for what you say, and so you've got to be careful."

Players who were at the party were careful to say nothing.

Ian Poulter walked away when the topic arose. Lee Westwood resorted to his dry wit when he replied, "I've had an ear infection for two weeks and I couldn't hear a lot of what was going on, so it would be wrong for me to comment on anything."

Beyond his choice of words was the deep resentment Williams expressed.

"It's just unfortunate that there's been such an argument between a player and a caddie," U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy said. "I've heard that Stevie has apologized for his comments, and I think now that he's done that, everyone can just move on and put it behind them."

Not so fast.

Sunday, November 6, 2011 Woods and Scott are supposed to be in the same group next week at the Australian Open, and the following week is the Presidents Cup at Royal Melbourne, where there is the chance they could face each other.

Scott feels stuck in the middle, so maybe it's appropriate that he has a home in Switzerland.

"I don't think it should be awkward for me," Scott said. "I'm the guy stuck in the middle, but I don't really have a gripe with either guy. So it's for them to sort out between themselves."

Some felt that Williams should have lost his job three years ago when he used a disparaging comment about Mickelson during a dinner in New Zealand. Woods had him apologize to Mickelson.

McDowell was among several players who did not believe Williams was being racist with his comments, particularly in a night filled with slapstick humor.

"He takes one word out of that sentence, and nothing gets said about it," McDowell said. "These are racially sensitive times, especially in sport."

Last month, English soccer star John Terry allegedly made racial comments toward an opponent in Chelsea's 1-0 loss to Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League.

McDowell called the situation with Williams "very sticky."

"I kind of feel bad for him in many ways because it was a very humorous evening," he said. "And it's unfortunate that it's come out as negatively as it did."

Georgia pounds New Mexico St., 63-16 B4 Sunday, November 6, 2011

SPORTS

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Aaron Murray threw five second-quarter touchdown passes, for mer walk-on receiver Brandon Harton ran for 98 yards and No. 18 Georgia won its seventh straight game by cruising past New Mexico State 63-16 on Saturday.

The Bulldogs (7-2) tur ned to Harton this week after Isaiah Crowell and Carlton Thomas were suspended one game for failing a drug test. Georgia was also without top reserve tailback Richard Samuel, who will miss the next month after undergoing ankle surgery.

But with Murray running the offense, Georgia had little reason for concern against New Mexico State (3-6).

Murray, who played only the first half, completed 18 of 23 passes for 238

yar ds, five TDs and no interceptions.

Coming off a 24-20 win over Florida, the Bulldogs used the game as a tuneup for next week’s home matchup with Southeaster n Confer ence rival Auburn. After facing the T igers next Satur day, Georgia will close the regular season by hosting Kentucky on Nov. 19 and visiting Georgia Tech on Nov. 26.

With wins against Auburn and Kentucky and one confer ence loss by South Carolina, Georgia would win the SEC East.

Harton had not taken a snap since the Bulldogs’ blowout win over Coastal Carolina on Sept. 17. He lost a fumble on his first carry, a 9-yard run to the Aggies’ 3, before redeeming himself with a 4-yard TD run to make it 14-3

early in the second.

Cor nerback Branden Smith, who occasionally plays offense, started at tailback and made it 7-0 with a 56-yard touchdown run midway through the first quarter.

Kenny Tur ner scor ed New Mexico State’s first touchdown on a 10-yard run early in the fourth quarter to make it 56-10.

The Aggies (3-6) from the Western Athletic Conference have lost thr ee straight.

New Mexico State quarterback Matt Christian was knocked out of the game with an undisclosed injury. Christian seemed to be injured as he was trying to tackle Baccari Rambo on the Georgia safety’s 51-yard interception return.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — For several years, Texas lacked a power back who could pound defenses into submission. Now the Longhorns seem to have them everywhere.

Freshman Joe Bergeron ran for 191 yards and scored three touchdowns Saturday, leading a 52-20 rout of Texas Tech that saw Texas rush for more than 400 yards for the sec-

ond week in a row.

Bergeron scored on runs of 9, 5 and 12 yards and Fozzy Whittaker ran for Texas’ first two touchdowns in the second quarter.

The Longhorns (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) are now bowl-eligible after missing the postseason last year for the first time since 1997.

“I told the guys let’s not talk about six (wins) now,”

said Texas coach Mack Brown. “Let’s talk about 10.”

Bergeron, who had never carried the ball more than 13 times in a game this season, had 29 against the Red Raiders because Texas held out leading rusher Malcolm Brown, another freshman, because of a sore toe.

Bergeron topped 100 yards for the second game

in a row. His 191 yards Saturday marked the most by a Texas running back since Jamaal Charles had 290 against Nebraska in 2007.

“Nobody really has a (starting) job, we’re just all in rotation. We’re all getting the ball,” Bergeron said. “My running style is just hammer them. After a while the defense will crack.”

The Longhorns have put up huge rushing numbers the last two weeks against two of the worst defenses in the country — Kansas and Texas Tech. The Red Raiders came in ranked No. 114 against the run.

Texas was so dominant Saturday the Longhorns built a 31-6 lead by halftime despite running just 28 total plays in the first two quarters, 25 of them on the ground. Texas had the ball just 12 minutes of the first half.

“I like it,” Mack Brown said. “We want people worrying about us being physical.”

The Red Raiders (5-4, 24) suf fered their second straight lopsided loss after their stunning upset of then-No. 3 Oklahoma two weeks ago that snapped the Sooners’ 39-game home winning streak.

Since that win in Norman, Texas Tech has been outscored 93-27 in losses to Texas and Iowa State.

“It’s just another embarrassing loss,” Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege said. “This week, I felt like everybody was ready to play ... It felt like we could win this game.”

Texas Tech came out against the Longhor ns looking capable of another big road win. But the Red Raiders’ first drive ended in a field goal after a touchdown was wiped out by a personal foul and the defense was helpless to stop Texas.

Texas scored on its first five drives and never punted while rolling up 595 total yards.

Doege passed for 381 yards and two late touchdowns, but was also sacked four times and hit several others by Texas’ relentless pass rush.

Bergeron had 113 yards by halftime and Whittaker had scoring runs of 12 and 8 yards out of Texas’ “wild” for mation. D.J. Monroe dashed to the end zone from 12 yards, faking Texas Tech safety Jared Flannel so well that Flannel ran into cor nerback Derrick Mays, taking both defenders out of the play.

“We have to find some way to get ourselves off the field and make somebody punt,” Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. “It was lining up and coming right at us.”

The Texas running game

continues to protect freshman quarterback David Ash, who is still developing as a passer.

Ash attempted only seven passes in the game, and his only three of the first half came on playaction deep throws to Mike Davis. They connected twice for 72 yards and even when Ash missed a wideopen Davis early, he followed it up with a 47-yard option run on the next play to set up a touchdown.

Bergeron’s first touchdown made it 31-6 at the end of the second quarter and Texas kept pounding the Texas Tech defense in the second half.

The Longhorns opened the third quarter with a 10-play drive that used just one pass in driving to Bergeron’s second score, a 5-yard run off left tackle on fourth-and-1. Bergeron’s third touchdown covered 12 yards early in the fourth quarter to make it 45-13.

Now the Longhorns can make some holiday plans for playing football. Last season, they spent December and early January watching all their biggest rivals play in bowl games on television.

“It’s like a second season for us,” Texas linebacker Keenan Robinson said.

“From now on we’re trying to see what bowl game we can get into.”

Oklahoma pulls away from Texas A&M 41-25 Northwestern upsets Nebraska 28-25

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Landry Jones threw two touchdown passes during Oklahoma’s 28-point thirdquarter surge and the seventh-ranked Sooners pulled away from Texas A&M 41-25 on Saturday, but lost All-America receiver R yan Broyles for the year with a knee injury.

Broyles came out in the third quarter and the school announced after the game the senior had torn a ligament in his left knee.

He had two catches for 87 yards and both helped set up touchdowns.

The Sooners (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) led just 13-10 at halftime, but Texas A&M (5-4, 3-3) had its secondhalf troubles continue — the Aggies gave up big second-half leads in its previous three losses.

The Aggies, headed for the Southeastern Conference, won’t miss coming to Norman. They’re now 0-7 on Owen Field during the Bob Stoops era; the previous six losses had come by an average of 41 points.

Jones threw third-quarter touchdown passes of 31 yards to Jaz Reynolds, who made a nifty onehanded grab — and 39 yards to Kenny Stills.

Texas A&M’s seven third-quarter possessions produced four punts, two tur novers and a missed field goal. One punt, into

the 30-mph wind, netted just 14 yards and set Oklahoma up at the Aggies’ 31yard line. On the first play, Jones hit Reynolds down the right side.

A&M’s next drive ended with an interception by defensive end Ronnell Lewis, who caught a tipped ball and retur ned it 11 yards to the Aggies’ 28.

Finch scored five plays later. The Sooners needed one play to score after an interception by Jamell Fleming — Jones’ long

pass to Stills down the left sideline to make it 41-10.

Oklahoma was playing at home for the first time since its 39-game home winning streak ended with a loss to Texas Tech two weeks ago. The Sooners’ potent offense struggled throughout the first half whether moving into or with the strong wind.

Going downwind in the second quarter, the Sooners needed 18 plays to cover only 58 yards on one drive. After three incomple-

tions from the 21-yard line, they settled for a field goal and a 13-3 lead.

Texas A&M countered less than a minute later with the biggest gainer of the afternoon, a 79-yard touchdown pass from R yan Tannehill to R yan Swope.

Tannehill drifted left out of the pocket and bought time until finding Swope behind the defense about 35 yards downfield. Swope easily outran two defenders to the end zone.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Second-string quarterback Kain Colter ran for two touchdowns and passed for another to lead Northwestern to a 28-25 upset of No. 9 Nebraska on Saturday.

Filling in for injured starter Dan Persa in the second half, Colter scored from the 1 with 1:34 left to finish a 13play, 66-yard drive that chewed mor e than 7 minutes of f the clock after the Cornhuskers had pulled to 21-18.

Taylor Martinez, who passed for 289 yar ds and two scor es, hurriedly moved Nebraska (7-2, 3-2 Big Ten) down the field. He hit Kenny Bell for a 14-yar d touchdown with 18 seconds to play, but Charles Brown recover ed the onside kick and Northwestern (4-5, 2-4) ran out the clock.

Persa injured his left shoulder in the second quarter when he was slammed to the ground

by Eric Martin. Persa tried to play a couple more series, but he was on the sideline with his left arm in a sling after halftime.

The loss to the 17point underdog Wildcats dropped Nebraska into a second-place tie with Iowa and Michigan in the Big Ten's Legends Division. Michigan State moved into sole possession of first place with its win over Minnesota.

Colter, who typically shar es playing time with Persa at quarterback, took all but four snaps in the second half. He ran for 58 yar ds and completed four of six passes for 115 yards. Third-string quarterback T r evor Siemian came in and went 3 of 4 for 67 yards.

Jeremy Ebert caught six passes for a careerhigh 147 yar ds and went over the 2,000yard mark for his career on an 81-yard touchdown play that put the Wildcats up 21-10 early in the fourth quarter.

Northwestern’s maligned defense, which had been giving up 32 points and 432 yards a game, bottled up Nebraska running back Rex Burkhead and for ced two costly tur novers in the first half.

Struggling Chargers have huge challenge Sunday Roswell Daily Record

If the Chargers have any sort of hangover from their demoralizing loss in Kansas City, they better get rid of it quickly. On Sunday, the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers are in town, bringing with them the NFL’s only undefeated record.

Aaron Rodgers leads the league by far in passing, building on his sensational postseason and Super Bowl MVP per for mance. The Packers (7-0) are plus-8 in turnover margin, have 16 takeaways and carry an air of confidence befitting a champion.

They also come off a bye as they head to San Diego, where the Chargers (4-3) come off as deep a downer as any team can experience.

The Chargers lost 23-20 in overtime to Kansas City after quarterback Philip Rivers fumbled a center exchange deep in Chiefs territory, a likely winning field goal just seconds away before the bobble.

“We’ve got to move forward in a hurry,” Rivers said. “We’ve got a team that hasn’t lost a game since last December rolling in here. There’s no time to dwell on the past because we can’t change it. But we can have an impact on this game this weekend. It’s about as exciting as it gets, playing a team that hasn’t lost this season, won it all last year. We get to play at home for the first time in a month, so we’re looking forward to it.”

Although he hasn’t experienced anything like that painful defeat recently, Rodgers feels for Rivers.

“I’m a competitor, so I hate losing. Those are tough weeks,” Rogers said.

“As a quarterback ... you take the blame often when it’s not your fault, and you try to deflect the credit. So it’s difficult to lose, but I know they’ll be ready to go this weekend.”

They’d better be.

Also Sunday, it’s Baltimore at Pittsburgh, the New York Giants at New England, San Francisco at Washington, Tampa Bay at New Orleans, New York Jets at Buf falo, Cleveland at Houston, Cincinnati at Tennessee, Denver at Oakland, Miami at Kansas City, Atlanta at Indianapolis, Seattle at Dallas, and St. Louis at Arizona.

On Monday night, Chicago is at Philadelphia.

Off this week are Carolina (2-6), Detroit (5-2), Jacksonville (2-6), and Minnesota (2-6).

Baltimore (5-2) at Pittsburgh (6-2) At the expense of enraging fans of Raiders-Chiefs, Packers-Bears, CowboysRedskins, the latest installment of the NFL’s most intense rivalry takes the prime-time stage.

The Ravens have struggled the past two weeks while the Steelers have won four in a row. But Pitts-

burgh could be without its top three linebackers: James Harrison, James Farrior and LaMarr Woodley, who is having one of the best seasons of any defensive player in the league.

Adding spice to this one: Baltimore manhandled Pittsburgh in the season opener, 35-7.

“They just whupped us,” nose tackle Casey Hampton said. “They came out playing a lot faster than we were playing and completely in every phase of the game just whupped us. I can’t see that happening again.”

New York Giants (5-2) at New England (5-2) It’s difficult to do anything quietly in the Big Apple, yet Eli Manning has managed to put together a terrific half-season for the Giants, playing on the level of, yes, his older brother — Peyton, not Cooper. Should Manning lead the Giants to an upset, the noise will get deafening in New York.

Any of the Patriots who were around in February 2008 can’t help but be stoked by the first meeting with the Giants (other than exhibition games) since the Super Bowl loss that ruined their perfect season. They might be loath to admit it, but it’s an element that adds more intrigue to an outstanding matchup.

Tom Brady was asked if that Super Bowl is gone from his memory.

“This week it is. I don’t think it always is,” he said.

“It’s not always — there are other times when you think about it, but this week, I’m not thinking about that game. I’ve had a lot of opportunities to think about that game, but this isn’t the week for that.”

San Francisco (6-1) at Washington (3-4) Some people are wondering if the 49ers could clinch the NFC West by Thanksgiving (the answer is yes).

Their tur naround under rookie coach Jim Harbaugh is one of the biggest stories of 2011, and they are one “prevent defense” away from being undefeated.

The Niners’ stingy, turnover-inducing offense and safe, run-oriented defense are working perfectly during their five-game winning string. They also are 3-0 on the road.

“The approach is not even concerning ourselves with the standings till we get to December,” Harbaugh said. “Then we’ll see how many we have, see how many we need.”

Washington’s fast start has been destroyed by injuries and giveaways; the Redskins have 16, one less than Philadelphia’s league worst.

Tampa Bay (4-3) at New Orleans (5-3) A big midseason game in the highly competitive NFC South, a race that figures

Sunday, November 6, 2011

to go down to the wire.

New Orleans is ticked off at itself for a pedestrian performance at previously winless St. Louis, a defeat that could come back to haunt the Saints. They couldn’t get a running game going and struggled to protect Drew Brees.

Tampa is 2-0 in the division and has a home win over the Saints. The Bucs also have struggled in two of their last three games.

They’ll need to contain WR Marques Colston and TE Jimmy Graham to get this win.

New York Jets (4-3) at Buffalo (5-2) A big midseason game in the highly competitive AFC East, which the Bills lead on a tiebreaker over the Patriots, who are facing back-to-back games against the New Jersey Meadowlands teams.

The Jets are 0-3 on the road, but seemed to straighten out some problems after their bye and won two straight. Their running game has been revitalized, in part because All-Pro center Nick Mangold is healthy again, and the secondary, particularly AllPro cor nerback Darrelle Revis, has begun to shine.

They will be tested by the Bills’ potent offense, particularly versatile RB Fred Jackson, and an opportunistic defense. Buffalo is an AFC-best plus-9 in turnover differential and leads the league with 14 interceptions.

Chicago (4-3) at Philadelphia (3-4), MNF Folks are beginning to fear the Eagles again after the walloping they put on Dallas. If Philly can pass block against Julius Peppers, Henry Melton and company, it can win its third straight. Even if it can’t, the Bears might have trouble keeping up with the running of Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy. “It’s real difficult for us as a secondary because he creates a lot of time for the (receivers) to get open with his legs,” cornerback Tim Jennings said. “But we believe in our pass rush and our rush is going to get to him and make it easy for us in the back seven.”

Jay Cutler threw for four TDs against the Eagles last year in a win. He wasn’t facing a secondary with Nnamdi Asomugha, who is coming on after signing that huge free agent deal, and Dominique RodgersCromartie.

Cleveland (3-4) at Houston (5-3) Houston has overcome injuries and a tendency to flop in big spots and taken hold of the AFC South. The hope is for star receiver Andre Johnson to return from his hamstring problem, an immeasurable boost for the passing offense. The running game already is in fine shape

with Arian Foster healthy and looking like the guy who led the NFL in rushing a year ago, and backup Ben Tate contributing mightily.

The Browns retur ned from their bye with no offense: 33 points in three games. Injuries have smashed up their backfield.

Cincinnati (5-2) at Tennessee (4-3) A win over the T itans would give Cincinnati five in a row for the first time since 1988 — when the Bengals won the AFC. Nobody is projecting such success for them this year, although their turnaround has been impressive with rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and a defense with eight fumble recoveries and a penchant for all kinds of big plays.

“I think the locker room as a whole is really strong and I think guys continue to lay the path of how you should do things,” standout tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “As long as the leadership of the team does that, does things the right way and shows the young guys how you do it the right way every single day, then we’ll have a chance to have a great team.”

Tennessee also has managed better results than expected in a rebuilding season under first-year coach Mike Munchak, and if the T itans can get RB Chris Johnson going, they might contend for a playoff berth.

Denver (2-5) at Oakland (4-3) We know all about Tebowmania in Denver, which could be on the verge of dying out. In Oakland, it’s Carsonmania as Carson Palmer takes the reins at quarterback for what the folks in the Black Hole hope is a surge to the playoffs.

If Oakland is to get there, it needs to keep the running game flowing. The Raiders rank second in rushing and are hopeful of

getting Darren McFadden back from his sprained right foot. Palmer figures to need all the help he can get, one reason former Bengals teammate T.J.Houshmanzadeh was brought aboard this week to strengthen the receiving unit.

Tebow is teetering on the brink of being benched after a wretched performance against Detroit. Overall, he is 35 for 76 for 412 yards and has four fumbles. In his two starts, Denver has scored a total of 28 points.

Miami (0-7) at Kansas City (4-3) As much as the Chargers might be plagued by Monday night’s messy loss, the Chiefs could be energized by their fortunate victory.

KC has made a superb turnaround after dropping its first three games, buoyed by a strong running attack and vastly improved per formances from linebackers Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson. The secondary is young but solid.

The only thing solid about the Dolphins is their chances for the first overall draft pick, and perhaps a winless season. They played pretty well at the Meadowlands before folding late against the Giants, and got their biggest production rushing from Reggie Bush so far with 103 yards.

Atlanta (4-3) at Indianapolis (0-8) Here are some statistics worth ignoring: Indianapolis has won three in a row and 13 of 14 meetings with Atlanta and never has lost at home to the Falcons.

As the Colts spiral toward who knows where — and perhaps Andrew Luck — the Falcons needs a win to stay relevant in the tough

NFC South. With the Saints and Bucs facing off Sunday, the Falcons can gain ground on someone. And they host New Orleans next week in the first of three successive home games.

Atlanta RB Michael Turner has hit his stride. It’s time for the passing game to get going and this is the perfect opponent against which to do so.

Seattle (2-5) at Dallas (3-4) What to make of the Cowboys. They hang tough some weeks, are impressive in others, then can completely disappear, as they did on offense and defense in Philadelphia last Sunday. If they are to get back into contention in the watered-down NFC East, they must handle Seattle.

The best way to do that is with a big pass rush: Seattle has allowed 28 sacks, and Cowboys star LB DeMarcus Ware has 12 sacks, including four at Philly.

Because the Seahawks can’t run the ball (31st overall) and Dallas defends it pretty well, this could turn ugly. Then again, with the Cowboys, who knows?

St. Louis (1-6) at Arizona (1-6) As the season began, these two teams were pegged by many as the front-runners in the weak NFC West. Now, they not only are tailenders, but show little sign of avoiding remaining near the bottom.

At least the Rams come off their first win, a stunner over New Orleans. The Cardinals, who once lived in St. Louis, have gone bone dry with six straight defeats.

They blew a 24-3 lead at Baltimore last week, but have won eight of the last nine against the Rams.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature “60 Minutes” commentaries about life’s large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old.

Even then, he said he wasn’t retiring. Writers never retire. But his life after the end of “A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney” was short. He died Friday night, according to CBS, only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary.

Rooney had gone to the hospital for an undisclosed surgery, but major complications developed and he never recovered.

Travis Bradford “Brad” Watkins, 97, passed away on Nov. 4, 2011, at La Villa Assisted Living Center. He was born March 15, 1914, in Tupelo, Miss., to Milow N. Watkins and Margaret Zula King Watkins. He moved with his family to Ada, Okla., in 1925, and graduated from Stonewall, Okla., high school in 1932.

Brad moved to Roswell, in 1935, and was employed by two different oil companies. He met Marideth Sherrell, of Roswell. They married in 1937 and were married 72 years when she passed away in April 2010.

Their three children and spouses survive him, Barbara Rizzo who lives in Roswell with her husband George, Brad Watkins Jr. who lives in Magnolia, Texas, with his wife, Sharon, and Stan Watkins who lives in Phoenix with his wife Rozetta. He is survived also by seven grandchildren; eight stepgrandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; his sister, Elizabeth Mercer, of Cushing Okla., and nieces and nephews.

Brad was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Frances Pruitt of Ada, Okla., and brother Robert N. Watkins, of Roswell.

Brad was an industrious businessman, civic leader, Mason and church leader in Roswell. He and partner, Cecil Anderson, for med Anderson and Watkins Oil Company in 1943, and it grew to become a major distributor of oil and petroleum products in southeaster n New Mexico for more than 30 years, at which time the company was sold. He was very active in civic organizations and served as president of Roswell Chamber of Commerce, president of the Kiwanis Club and Knife and Fork Club. He was president of the New Mexico Liquified Petroleum Gas Association, served on the board of directors of First Federal Bank for 23 years, and the boards of the Soil and Water Conservation and Eastern New Mexico Medical Center.

Brad and Marideth were members of the First Baptist Church in Roswell since 1942, where he served as usher, chairman of the building committee when the present auditorium was built in 1962, and subsequent church building projects.

Beginning in 1944, Brad became dedicated and very active in the Masonic Lodge. He advanced

Rooney talked on “60 Minutes” about what was in the news, and his opinions occasionally got him in trouble. But he was just as likely to discuss the old clothes in his closet, why air travel had become unpleasant and why banks needed to have important-sounding names.

Rooney won one of his four Emmy Awards for a piece on whether there was a real Mrs. Smith who made Mrs. Smith’s Pies. As it turned out, there was no Mrs. Smith.

Looking for something new to punctuate its weekly broadcast, “60 Minutes” aired its first Rooney commentary on July 2,

through the Masonic order to become the Master of Roswell Lodge No. 18, and was Grand Master of Masons in New Mexico in 1972-73. At his death, he was the oldest living Past Grand Master in New Mexico. He was a member of the Knights Templar and the York Rite. He was Worthy Patron of the Order of Eastern Star and assisted with the Rainbow Girls and the Order of DeMolay when his children were growing up.

Funeral services for Brad Watkins will be Monday, Nov. 7, 2011, at 11 a.m. at LaGrone Funeral Chapel.

The Rev. Matt Brooks will of ficiate, followed by Masonic burial at South Park Cemetery.

Pallbearers will be Mark Daniels, Jason Penn, Carl Chaffin, Levi Moody, David Baker and Aaron Heyman.

Honorary pallbearers will be Lloyd Stone, Charles Butler, Ben Kerr, John Wortman, Morgan Nelson and Bill Anderson.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests contributions to local charities in Brad’s honor. The family wishes to thank the many good friends of Brad and Marideth who have visited, prayed and comforted them, and especially the caring and loving staff of LaVilla Memory Care Center and the Vista Care Hospice team.

Rooney was a freelance writer in 1949 when he encountered CBS radio star Arthur Godfrey in an elevator and told him his show could use better writing.

Godfrey hired him.

He wrote for CBS’ Garry Moore during the early 1960s before settling into a partnership with Harry Reasoner at CBS News.

Given a challenge to write on any topic, he wrote “An Essay on Doors” in 1964, and continued with contemplations on bridges,

Rooney left CBS in 1970 when it refused to air his angry essay about the Vietnam War. He went on TV for the first time, reading the essay on PBS and winning a Writers Guild of America award for it.

He retur ned to CBS three years later as a writer and producer of specials. Notable among them was the 1975 “Mr. Rooney Goes to Washington,” whose lighthearted but serious look at government won him a Peabody Award for excellence in broadcasting.

He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered ‘Peace be thine.’

WASHINGTON

2007 memo mentioned gun-walking probe

AP Photo

Attorney General Michael Mukasey testifies on Capitol Hill before the House Judiciary Committee in 2008.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A briefing paper prepared for Attorney General Michael Mukasey dur-

ing the Bush administration in 2007 outlined failed attempts by federal agents to track illicitly purchased guns across the border into Mexico and stressed the need for U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials to work together on such efforts using a tactic that now is generating controversy.

The information contained in one paragraph of a lengthy Nov. 16, 2007, document marks the first known instance of an attorney general being given information about the tactic known as “gun-walking.” It since has become controversial amid a probe by congressional Republicans criticizing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for using it during the Obama administration in an arms-trafficking investigation called Operation Fast and Furious that focused on several Phoenix-area gun shops.

Though the briefing paper for

FDA clears blood thinner for irregular heartbeat

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 2 million new U.S. patients will be eligible to receive a next-generation blood thinner drug called Xarelto, after the Food and Drug Administration approved the medication to treat a common heart problem that can lead to stroke.

Federal health officials approved the drug from Johnson & Johnson and Bayer to prevent strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes the heart’s upper chambers to beat chaotically and ineffectively. The irregular heartbeats can cause blood clots which travel to the brain, blocking blood flow and occasionally causing a stroke.

“This approval gives doctors and patients another treatment option for a condition that must be managed carefully,” said Dr. Norman Stockbridge, director of FDA’s cardiovascular and renal products division.

The once-a-day pill was first approved in July to prevent strokes in patients receiving hip and knee replacements. Friday’s approval expands the drug’s indication to the much larger group of roughly 2.2 million Americans with atrial fibrillation.

For more than half a century, atrial fibrillation patients have relied on the tough-to-use blood thinner warfarin, sold under the brand name Coumadin.

Doctors often have trouble gauging the right dose of the drug for each patient. Too much warfarin can cause dangerous internal bleeding, and too little can result in strokes.

In a setback for the drugs’ developers, the FDA did not approve a manufacturer-requested claim that Xarelto was superior at preventing stroke and blood clots when compared with warfarin. Instead the FDA states that the companies’ 14,000-patient study showed Xarelto and warfarin were about the same in preventing stroke.

Also, the FDA added a boxed safety warning, the most serious kind, stating that patients should not stop taking Xarelto without notifying their doctors first. Discontinuing the drug can increase the risk of stroke.

Numerous drugmakers have been working to develop an updated alternative to warfarin, one of the most widely-used medications in the U.S. Last year U.S. pharmacies filled 32 million prescriptions for warfarin, according to data tracker IMS Health.

Last October, the FDA approved the first alternative to warfarin for atrial fibrillation — Pradaxa, known chemically as dabigatran, made by the German company Boehringer Ingelheim. That drug’s label states that the daily pill “significantly reduced” stroke and blood clots in a study of 18,000 patients.

In September a panel of outside advisers to the FDA voted 9-2 to recommend approval for use in atrial fibrillation. The panel’s recommendation came despite questions from FDA scientists about the reliability of some data submitted on Xarelto.

Known chemically as rivaroxaban, Xarelto was discovered by German drugmaker Bayer and co-developed with New Brunswick, N.J.-based J&J.

Mukasey does not use the term “gun-walking,” ATF officials at the time referred to the failed attempts in that way. The tactic — following suspected low-level “straw” buyers of guns instead of arresting them right after purchase — is aimed at identifying and bringing charges against gun-trafficking ringleaders, who have long escaped federal prosecution. Justice Department policy long has required that illicit arms shipments be intercepted whenever possible.

Attorney General Eric Holder is due on Capitol Hill next week to respond to Republicans who doubt his assertion that he did not know about allegations that the tactic was in use until early this year.

Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote to the panel’s Republican chairman, Darrell Issa of California,

Roswell Daily Record

asking that he call Mukasey to testify about his knowledge of the program.

Headlined “Meeting of the attorney general with Mexican Attorney General Medina Mora,” the briefing paper infor med Mukasey that the tactic had been tried unsuccessfully but that the ATF wanted to try again and wanted Mukasey to persuade Mexico’s attorney general to provide a team of corruptionfree Mexican agents who would assist in the ef fort. Perhaps implied but not fully detailed in this document was the reason for the failure — that Mexican authorities south of the border fell down on the job, claiming they didn’t see the vehicle carrying the guns that the ATF agents had alerted them to.

The briefing paper for Mukasey — dated two days after he was installed as attorney general — was among hundreds of pages of documents that Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., subpoe-

naed in his investigation of Operation Fast and Furious. The Justice Department turned over the material this week to the Issa-chaired House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

In Section G, titled “Ar ms Trafficking,” the briefing paper for Mukasey states that “of particular importance, ATF has recently worked jointly with Mexico on the first-ever attempt to have a controlled delivery of weapons being smuggled into Mexico by a major arms trafficker.” It adds: “While the first attempts at this controlled delivery have not been successful, the investigation is ongoing, and ATF would like to expand the possibility of such joint investigations and controlled deliveries — since only then will it be possible to investigate an entire smuggling network, rather than arresting simply a single smuggler.”

Romney to attend 3 debates before Thanksgiving

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney plans to attend three debates before the Thanksgiving holidays.

Romney’s campaign said Friday that he will participate in a Nov. 22 debate in Washington hosted by the Heritage Foundation. He’s also set to attend a debate in South Carolina on Nov. 12, as well as next week’s debate in Michigan Nov. 9.

Romney spokeswoman Gail Gitcho says the campaign is still deciding about future debates, including one scheduled in Arizona for Dec. 1. The campaign has also not decided whether to attend a Nov. 19 forum hosted by a socially conservative group in Iowa.

Romney was in Washington Friday speaking to the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, a tea partyallied group.

Holl y-D ay Magic MARTHA D. URQUIDES-STAAB VISTAS EDITOR PHOTOS COURTESY OF JOYCE TUCKER AND MARIBEL THOMPSON.

The holiday is creeping around the corner! Just when scary costumes and pumpkins have become the norm in the month of October, they are quickly packed back into storage and new decorations come out, the weather turns slightly colder, and bright ornaments, glitter and trees start going up. Holly-Day Magic will soon be arriving to the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, so those who are already feeling the Christmas spirit can get a jump-start on their Christmas shopping.

The 31st annual Holly-Day Magic art and craft show is making its way downtown and the artists present at this year’s show are working frantically, putting the final touches on their pieces. The unique thing about this show is the wide variety of merchandise bringing many artists back and welcoming new artists to its show. The line-up begins with this year’s featured artists, Jeff and Teresa Hughes.

A tour of the other 68 exhibitors reveals a full range of creative art and handmade crafts. Included will be more fine art by several other artists as well as unique clothing designs, folk art creations, jewelry, holiday items, pottery, soaps, western creations in rope, leather and wood, quilts, purses, award-winning salsa, floral arrangements, gourd art, wines from Southwest Wines in Deming, home décor, baskets, sculptural and functional works in metal, clay and wood, bows and dolls, photography, candles, cookbooks and the list goes on. The food offerings are varied as well, ranging from the ever-popular pumpkin rolls and cookies by Debora Lucas, to flavored pecans and popcorn, to the delicious meals prepared for all shoppers by Big D’s Downtown Dive. Some other extra bonuses will be the hourly drawings for prizes given by the vendors and the beautiful holiday decorations provided by the Holly-Day Magic staff.

Teresa Hughes has donated a clay sculptural piece to be raffled to benefit the Roswell Police Athletic League, the event’s sponsor. Other items donated for this year’s fundraiser include a queen-size quilt by Vernie Hiatt, a metal wall art by Bobby Goode and a $75 gift certificate from Cattle Baron restaurant.

This event welcomes the season and many of the artists are anxious for it to get under way. Teresa Hughes is one-half of the featured artists at this year’s Holly-Day Magic. Hughes is a clay artist and she builds hand built pieces. She has been actively involved in her hobby for 14 years and she saw it as a way to express her feelings and emotions through clay.

“When I first started creating these pieces, I would give them away as gifts to family and friends. They loved all my work and encouraged me to open my own store and sell the pieces.

Eventually I opened my store in Ruidoso and it was successful, it was a dream come true because I got to do what I love to do,” said Hughes.

She first featured her work at the Holly-Day Magic show several years ago and enjoyed doing it. Now she is a frequent artist to display her work.

“I feel honored that I am the featured artist this year, it’s a big compliment,” said Hughes.

Maribel Thompson is fairly new to the show; this will be her second year featuring her pine needle baskets.

Thompson started this unique hobby when a friend came by and showed her a basket. She explained it was made of dry pine needles. The baskets immediately drew her attention and she learned how to make them. To make one basket takes her a day and a half depending on its size. One of her friends was mesmerized by the oddity of the baskets and she took Thompson to the museum to show them to the gift shop manager.

Thompson began her business from there. Her neighbors, who have many pine trees, supply Thompson with pine needles to create her baskets.

Her process to prepare the pines is a lengthy one. First she gathers the pines and washes them with soap and bleach to kill any bacteria that may have formed on the needles. After she is done washing them, she lets them dry in the sun or her garage, depending on the weather. Once they are dry she starts assembling them using nylon thread. All of her baskets are usable for home and kitchen. Thompson offers classes at the Roswell Adult and Senior Center teaching others how to create these unique pieces of artwork.

Bobby Goode is also new to the show as this is his second year to the show. Goode is a welder and in his spare time he started experimenting with alternative pieces.

“I have been welding all my life and I started messing around and getting ideas. Most of my pieces are wall hanging pieces, and several are on display at The Gallery,” said Goode.

He was discovered by Joyce Tucker who encouraged him to share his talent with the community.

Neil Abrahamson, is brand new to the show and is excited to show the community his kiln-formed fused glass art. Abrahamson got interested in fused glass when he was a textile designer working at a firm, traveling to various places and seeing different glass art. Glass art is similar to ceramics where a kiln is used for most of the creation process. Now that he is retired he has a home studio with kilns and work area. Abrahamson is wheelchair bound so his hobby is easily accessible where everything is at a great level and nothing is too heavy.

“I’m obsessed with my hobby. I make so much stuff and hoping to sell many pieces to continue my hobby. I said last week I was done making pieces for the show but something inspired me to create a new piece which is now going to be included in the show,” said Abrahamson.

The Holly-Day Magic art show is for a great cause because it gives back to the community. In addition to the Police Athletic League, proceeds from the show also benefit the Assurance Home, the First Tee of the Pecos Valley and Roswell Students. Last year’s show raised more than $8,000 which was used for a variety of teams, programs, organizations and individuals to promote leadership, athletics, character and participation among the youth in the community. The events staff sincerely appreciates the support of businesses, organizations, and community members, as well as the creativity and generosity of the talented exhibitors, for making such contributions possible.

Holly-Day Magic will begin Friday, Nov. 18, from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Admission is $1 and children under 12 are free. For more information call 623-3911, 624-1780 and 623-4444. vistas@roswell-record.com

‘Safe dates’ exhibit positive character traits

Q: I’m not one of those women who are attracted to “dangerous” guys, but I’m beginning to question my judgment. Few of my relationships survive past the second or third date, at which point I usually shut things down due to serious concer ns about my boyfriend’s character. Am I being too picky?

Jim: Expecting your boyfriends to exhibit good character is not “picky” — it’s smart. That said, it’s also understandable that you’re growing frustrated by a string of misses on the dating front.

Author Shana Schutte has developed a list of qualities every single should look for in a “safe date.” She identifies “safe dates” as individuals who are likely to tur n into responsible and loving spouses if the relationship progresses.

First, a safe date will

respect your boundaries. If you ask your boyfriend not to call after 11 p.m., and yet he repeatedly does so, he’s not respecting your boundaries. And if he does not respect you in this one area, he likely won’t respect you in others.

Second, a safe person will not treat you like a child. Some women fail to differentiate between men who are confident leaders and those who simply want to be controlling. If your date acts like you can’t be trusted to make your own decisions, it might be time to move on.

Schutte also suggests that a safe person will forgive you, not condemn you.

We all make mistakes in relationships. If your significant other holds a grudge even after you’ve apologized, you might want to reconsider the relationship.

And of course, safe dates are also willing to admit

DR. JULI SLATTERY

JIM DALY

FAMILY SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

their own faults, rather than blame others.

Finally — and this should be a no-brainer — a safe date is responsible. If your boyfriend is constantly in financial trouble or switching jobs due to his own poor choices, he’s probably not marriage material. May God bless you with patience and perseverance as you navigate the adventurous world of dating!

Q: Every fall, my wife and I have the same argument.

She signs the kids up for every activity imaginable. It seems like we spend every

weeknight and weekend shuttling them to parties, practices and meetings. I just want some peace and quiet time with our family.

How can I get through to her?

Juli: This honestly sounds like a question my husband could have submitted. I admit that I’m the mom who doesn’t want her kids to miss out on anything. However, over the years I have begun to see the wisdom of my husband’s protests.

Carolyn Dahl, an artist and author, will show how to draw faces on fabric — even when you say you can’t draw well. She discovered this method when she had eye surgery and couldn’t see well enough to draw. Dahl lives in Houston.

How to select an area rug To give your rooms an exciting new look, start from the ground up with an area rug. Besides providing warmth and comfort, rugs come in a versatile array of styles, colors, patter ns, and textures.

They allow you to express your unique style and can establish the design scheme for a whole room.

Choices may range from Oriental, Persian, Berber or Native American designs, traditional to contemporary, novelty, and children’s patterns. Select

a large or small size, a solid color or patterned design, rectangles, circles, or unique shapes. The choices are many, and quality rugs are available in nearly every price range.

Before you select a rug: • Visualize the look you want to create. Do you want a room that’s uncluttered and monotone or a room rich with colors or textures? If you start with a totally empty room, choose a rug, then paint or paper the walls in colors found in the rug. Consider how the room is used, how much traffic the area gets, and who will view it under what light.

For high-traf fic areas, such as hallways and foyers, you may want a durable, patterned rug.

Choose fur niture that enhances the design or colors found in the rug.

extracurricular activities do better academically, socially and emotionally. However, too much of a good thing can spell disaster.

When schedules interfere with family dinner and time together, all measures of adjustment for kids plummet (as Jim noted in last week’s column). That’s in addition to the stress busyness creates for marriage.

When you approach this topic with your wife, communicate how much you appreciate her commitment to the kids. She is over scheduling because she wants to be a great mom, not because she loves driving her minivan eight hours a day.

The best way to find the right balance is to set up ground rules that you both think are reasonable. For example, you might agree that each child can be involved in one extracurricular activity at a time. Or

you commit to having dinner together as a family at least four evenings a week.

The most important thing you can give your children is a stable family. Doing so will require saying “no” to some great opportunities.

ture, choose a rug that picks up the colors used in your furnishings or in a painting. Patterns can be mixed if they are coordinated by color. Elements of a rug’s design can be further incorporated into the overall design scheme.

For example, if the rug is floral, add framed prints or flowers in similar colors.

• A rug with a bold, overall design can be the focal point of a room with a chair and sofa in solid or subdued patterns. This can be a real asset over solid color carpet in rental units where the carpet cannot be changed.

• Light colored rugs make a room look more spacious, and deeper colors lend coziness to a room.

• Choose a rug that will per for m well, with the right combination of density and fiber. The denser

the pile, (with closer tufts or stitches), the better your rug will wear. Synthetic yarns - nylon, polyester, acrylic, and olefin and the naturals - wool and cotton - are durable, soft, and easy to clean.

• To have a better idea of what will complement your existing decor, take with you a swatch of any fabrics you would like to match.

• Select a reputable rug dealer with a knowledgeable staff, wide selection, and a guarantee that the store will stand behind its merchandise. A good choice would be a Seal of Approval dealer.

There’s a time, look and boot for everything

NEW YORK (AP) — There’s fall and spring, winter and summer — and there’s boot season. For many fashion fans, that’s the best time of year.

T ime to break out the cowboy boots and jeans, riding boots and leggings and maybe your best black work trousers and those cute high-heel booties you bought last year.

They’re all easy, almost no-fail pairings. Finding the right skirt to go with boots, however, is more likely to trip you up, especially this particular season when it seems anything goes with hemlines.

Do long skirts get tall shafts or shorter ones?

What’s the rule on miniskirts? And can functional weather -friendly boots meet a fashion-forward midiskirt somewhere on the middle of the calf?

“Boots can do it better

than almost anything when it comes to pulling your look together, but it also can cut you up,” says celebrity stylist Cristina Ehrlich.

She adds, “You have to put your outfit on. If your eye goes straight for the foot, then something isn’t right. You want a full ‘look.”’

Since proportion matters, she suggests every outfit get the mirror test because what works for one skirt might not for the next, even if they’re similar styles.

It’s all about lines. You don’t really want the top of the boot to meet the hemline; it could be longer or shorter — and filled in, when needed, with opaque tights, says Jen Ford, fashion news director at Lucky magazine.

Ehrlich, a style spokeswoman for Via Spiga, says the most foolproof boot

choice is a to-the-knee shaft and a wedge heel, probably in black suede.

But, she adds, you’d be surprised how easy it is to incorporate a dark purple, bottle green or gray suede into an existing wardrobe, even one rooted in black.

With a two- or three-inch heel, there’s really not an outfit you can’t wear with these boots. She’d put them on in September and not take them of f until April — and that’s traveling to different places and climates.

“With the wedge, you get comfort and gain a few inches. You can dress it up or dress it down,” Ehrlich explains. “It’s chic and cool.”

She put Ashley Greene in a pair recently for a daytime event. The “Twilight” star wore them with a fitted legging and a cashmereand-leather baseball-style

sweater, Ehrlich describes.

And that was in sunny Los Angeles.

Ford recommends a workhorse boot that is just a couple of inches shorter than the knee, more like mid-calf. With tights in the same color, you’ll still get the illusion of a longer leg, but there’s a chance to do some trendy colorblocking here, and, she says, you can also capture the playfulness that can come with an ankle bootie, especially if you go for a lace-up style and at least a bit of a heel.

It works for pencil skirts, longer lengths and even some minis, Ford says. It’s that to-the-knee skirt that will prove tricky with these boots, too. For that, there really is just the ankle boot.

The most refined and sophisticated ankle boots that can pair with skirt suits (pencil skirt, please)

have sculpted ankles, which most women will find flattering, says Erlich.

Those booties also do the bohemian look justice, so you can wear them with a maxi skirt, too.

There’s some room for over -the-knee boots with long or short skirts if you’re using a very careful eye about the proportion, but there’s almost no reason to try. Shoe designer Stuart Weitzman says over -theknee boots already “had their run” a few seasons ago.

The buzz now, he says, is about the boots that bring you fashion and function.

He likes the way faux fur and other luxe trim now ador n weather friendly boots. It means, he says, that women don’t have to change their footwear when they get into the office or to a restaurant if there is snow or rain outside.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — You are spending Thanksgiving with Aunt Nellie in Kansas. Your dog will be staying in a hotel suite called Neiman Barcus with a flat-screen TV. There might be sur f lessons, catered meals, a massage, pawdicure, spa bath and photo shoot.

Boarding your pet has changed a lot over the past decade.

Kennels still exist, but many locales also now offer pet-only resorts, hotels or in-home care. Whichever option you choose, there are some basic steps you should take so that arrangements go smoothly, including visiting or getting

references for the facility, reserving well in advance of busy holiday times, and making sure your pet meets vaccination and other requirements.

If money is no object, there is no end to the extravagances you can order for your pet. The Barkley Pet Hotel & Day Spa — which really does have a Neiman Barcus suite — is a one-of-a-kind animal funhouse in Westlake Village, about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

You can rent a Serenity Suite for $44 a night or reserve a storefront suite on Rodeo Drive or Hollywoof Boulevard (they start at $72.50 a night). Add-ons

include day camp sessions, limousine pickup and delivery, surf lessons, charm school, a mud mask, obedience training, holiday furdyeing and filet mignon from the Four Seasons.

You also get webcams, 24-hour staffing, a veterinarian under the same roof and lots of attention for your pet, said Malia A. Rivera, director of marketing for the hotel.

Daniel Smith and wife Kimberly Mellon-Smith of Thousand Oaks wouldn’t leave their West Highlander white terrier Charlie alone for more than three hours before the Barkley opened.

Now he’s a regular there.

For special needs ani-

mals — a senior or ailing dog, a puppy that isn’t fully vaccinated, a large collection of pets, a pet that doesn’t like to leave home or a new rescue dog that isn’t socialized yet — home care might be the best choice. A professional pet sitter can come as many times a day as needed, walk and feed the animals, give medicines, even stay overnight, said Gretchen Rexach, who owns Home Buddies Caregivers in Burbank, a franchise of the national Home Buddies inhome pet care service.

Rexach caters to workers in the entertainment industry with seasonal work and odd hours. In addition to

caring for animals, her employees will also water plants and bring in mail, she said.

Her staff specializes in special needs pets — those that need medicine or careful handling — and can also do overnight shifts for pets that are “just not used to being left alone. They are used to sleeping with somebody,” she said. Clients pay $17 for 15 minutes, up to $32 for an hour, $100 for a 12-hour overnight.

If you’re hiring someone for the first time, “don’t go with the cheapest or most convenient” option, Rexach said. “Ask for references.”

After all, you are not only entrusting your pet to a

“We’ve tur ned weather boots into a fashion-looking item. ... Those are great with your workday dress or skirt. They’re a little bit chunkier but they don’t have to be ‘rain boots,’” Weitzman says. “We’ve taken lessons from Uggs and Hunter and grabbed on to that by making them cool fashion looks that you can wear with anything.”

If shaft and shape matter to your hemline, heel does not seem to be as big a deal. Unlike a strappy sandal where there’s usually not much to marvel at other than the heel, the boot itself is more the conversation piece, observes Ehrlich.

Ehrlich says the riding boot covers almost all of her bases, especially her favorite long wool column skirts.

Boarding a pet isn’t limited to kennels anymore

stranger, but your home as well.

Home Buddies also rents webcams for temporary home use.

Do research before booking boarding facilities, too, advised Deborah Ropes, general manager of Lucky Dog Resorts in Colorado Springs, Colo. Tour the place, talk to the staff, take a sniff, talk to other customers, she said. And tailor arrangements to your pet’s style.

Once you’ve decided on a facility, make reservations well ahead of time. Most facilities close on major holidays and many close Sundays.

Lawyers demand water for tainted Pa. town

Roswell Daily Record

SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — A law firm has demanded that Pennsylvania environmental regulators force a natural-gas driller to continue delivering replacement water to residents of a town whose drinking water wells were tainted with methane and possibly hazardous chemicals.

Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. has been delivering water to homes in the northeastern Pennsylvania village of Dimock since January 2009.

The Houston-based energy company asserts Dimock’s water is safe to drink and won regulatory permission last month to stop the water deliveries by the end of November.

Attorneys for 11 Dimock families who are suing Cabot in federal court said that test results show their well water is still contaminated. The law firm sent a letter to the state Department of Environmental Protection on Thursday, accusing regulators of colluding with the gas company and demanding they order Cabot to continue paying for bulk and bottled water. The Associated Press obtained the letter Friday.

into Dimock’s aquifer. The company denied responsibility, but has been banned from drilling in a 9square-mile area of Dimock since April 2010.

Along with its request to stop paying for water deliveries, Cabot asked the department for permission to resume drilling in Dimock, a rural community about 20 miles

south of the New York state line where 18 residential water wells were found to be polluted with methane. The state agency has yet to rule on that request.

“By coddling the oil and gas company, PADEP has made clear where its priorities lie,” Kunkle wrote.

A Cabot spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

DEP spokeswoman Katy Gresh had no immediate comment. She referred to a letter to the editor by Environmental Secretary Michael Krancer in which Krancer defended his agency’s handling of the Dimock situation.

A December 2010 agreement between DEP and Cabot required the company to offer residential treatment systems that remove methane from the residents’ water, and to pay them twice the assessed tax value of their homes.

A half-dozen treatment systems have been installed, and Cabot said they are effective at removing the gas. The agreement does not make the company liable for any chemicals or metals that have turned up in the residents’ water,

nor does it require the company to treat the water for anything other than methane.

Residents who are suing Cabot have appealed the settlement.

They favor an earlier, scuttled DEP plan that would have forced Cabot to pay nearly $12 million to connect their homes to a municipal water line.

In his letter, written this week in response to an editorial in the (Chambersburg) Public Opinion, Krancer said that Cabot had satisfied the requirements of the settlement agreement.

“The real issue here is not safety; it’s about a very vocal minority of Dimock residents who continue to demand that taxpayers should foot the bill for a nearly $12 million public water line along Route 29 to serve about a dozen homes,” Krancer wrote. “This issue has, and continues to, pit neighbor against neighbor in Dimock.”

Krancer, who serves under prodrilling Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, has made no secret of his enthusiasm for Pennsylvania’s burgeoning natural-gas drilling industry.

Clarence Turner of Little Canada, Minn., hands in his resume Wednesday at the Minneapolis Career Fair held in Bloomington, Minn., where he was looking for a hotel audit job, preferably on the night shift, to help juggle family life with a baby.

Hiring slowed in October as employers faced more uncertainty over future economic growth.

Modest improvement for job market WASHINGTON (AP) — The American economy added 80,000 jobs in October, and job growth in the two previous months was much stronger than first thought, an encouraging sign as the nation searches for a way out of the jobs crisis.

The unemployment rate dropped to 9 percent from 9.1 percent, the first time it has fallen since July and the lowest rate since April, the government said Friday.

“Those are pretty good signs,” said Michael Hanson, senior economist at Bank of America Merrill L ynch.

“We’re hanging in there.”

Economists surveyed by FactSet, a provider of financial data, had expected a gain of 100,000 jobs. It takes a gain of about 125,000 jobs a month to keep up with population growth, more to bring down the unemployment rate.

The private sector added 104,000

jobs for the month.

The overall jobs figure was the smallest in four months. Still, there were smaller, more encouraging signs in the government’s monthly snapshot of unemployment, one of the most closely watched economic reports.

The Labor Department said the economy added 102,000 more jobs in August and September than first thought. And the ranks of the longterm unemployed, people out of a job for at least six months, fell sharply to 5.9 million.

Those signs further ease fears of a new recession, which had loomed over the economy this past summer.

Europe is wrestling with a debt crisis, however, and even if it dodges catastrophe, a recession there would be a drag on the U.S. economy.

The job market turned consistently negative in February 2008. The

nation lost jobs for 25 months in a row — almost 8.8 million of them in all. Since then, the economy has only recovered 2.3 million jobs.

The unemployment rate has hovered around 9 percent for more than two years, and the Federal Reserve said this week that it will is not expected to fall significantly through the end of next year.

That means President Barack Obama will almost certainly go before voters next November seeking a second term with the highest unemployment of any sitting president since World War II. Obama, appearing at the G-20 economic summit in Cannes, France, said the U.S. economy is growing “way too slow.” He repeated his call for Republicans in Congress to pass his $447 billion jobs bill, a mix of tax cuts and spending on roads and rail lines.

Oil ends volatile week above $94 per barrel NEW YORK (AP) — Oil prices rose slightly Friday as concerns about the European financial crisis were balanced by improving jobs data in the U.S. Benchmark crude rose 19 cents to end the week at $94.26 per barrel in New York, while Brent crude rose $1.14 to finish at $111.97 a barrel in London.

Benchmark oil prices have climbed sharply in the last month because of lower supplies and rising demand in the Midwest. Tighter supplies tend to lift prices, but analyst and trader Stephen Schork said the increase also has been fueled by a general “euphoria” that the U.S. seems to have avoided another recession.

Economic data in the U.S. this week has been encouraging. On Friday the Labor Department said that the economy added 80,000 jobs in October and the unem-

ployment rate fell to 9 percent.

“It’s a very confusing time,” Schork said. While the U.S. economy shows signs of improvement, manufacturing appears to be slowing down in China and Japan, “but the market is going up regardless.”

Petroleum demand in the U.S. has been weak all year, with oil and gasoline consumption falling last week by 2 percent and 4 percent, respectively, according to the latest government figures. Motorists are using less gas, so refineries have increasingly turned to overseas markets to supplement their domestic business.

Pump prices have been falling since the summer driving season, but they’re still at a record high for this time of year and eventually could go higher. The national average was $3.42 per gallon on Friday, according

to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. Experts predict gasoline will hit the $4 level again early next year.

Oil prices wavered Friday after leaders of the world’s 20 most powerful economies, meeting in Cannes, France, failed to find ways to strengthen the International Monetary Fund. The IMF is expected to be the lender of last resort for Greece and other European nations. Greece is battling massive government debt, and investors fear a default could lead to bank failures across the continent. European leaders are trying to keep Greece’s financial troubles from destabilizing the eurozone, but it’s unclear whether Greece will follow through with a debt reduction plan that was hammered out last month.

Analysts expect eurozone

businesses to spend less and the European economy to slow. That will not only cut energy consumption in Europe, it’ll shrink energy demand in China and other nations that export consumer goods. “If their economy is in a shambles, then Chinese manufacturing is going to be hit,” PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn said.

“And that really affects oil demand.”

China, the world’s secondlargest oil consumer behind the U.S., is expected to drive world oil demand growth in coming years.

In other energy trading, heating oil rose 3.26 cents to finish at $3.0707 per gallon, and gasoline futures rose 2.16 cents to finish at $2.6634 per gallon. Natural gas rose less than a penny to end the week at $3.783 per 1,000 cubic feet.

In this photo taken on Oct. 5, a man who only gave his first name, Wilmer, carries a sack of metal he collected after working the entire day at the bottom of one of the biggest trash dumps in the city, known as “The Mine,” in Guatemala City.

Guatemala’s trash ‘miners’ risk all for gold

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — A torrent of gray, toxic water spews from a drainage tunnel and surges along the ravine, tumbling along garbage that has fallen from the Guatemalan capital’s main landfill 1,000 feet (300 meters) above.

Despite the foul odors, the danger of unstable piles of garbage collapsing and the chance for heavy rain to suddenly raise the water level, dozens of people are busily at work searching for jewelry and other metal scraps knocked loose from the trash.

They call the ravine the “mine,” and refer to themselves as “miners.”

Every day, about 300 hike to the bottom of the ravine and wade into the water in search of rings and bracelets made of silver or gold. The water sifts and carries away the lighter garbage, leaving heavy metals on the stream bed.

“I make more money coming here than going to a company where they would continually scold me,” says 41-yearold Eddie Miranda.

He says he finds scraps worth 150 quetzals, or $20, almost every day.

He got lucky on a recent day. “I found a bracelet with 9 grams (0.32 avoir ounces) of gold. I got 2,000 quetzals ($256) for it.”

It may not seem like much, but it’s almost as much as the monthly $270 minimum wage in this Central American nation.

At dawn, the scavengers arrive much as if coming to a regular work place. Many are wearing clean, ironed shirts and even whistling. They carry shovels and backpacks filled with their garbage bags, snacks and change of clothes.

They leave their dry clothes at an improvised camp and start looking for treasures.

Scavenging, which is prohibited by the government, can get particularly dangerous during storm season. The workers say many have died while trying to pick garbage out of water raging through the ravine.

Dozens perished one day in 2008 when a mountain of garbage collapsed on them.

“The piles of rubbish and dirt bounced off the bottom of the river and dragged me while I was trying to escape,” said Antonio Yupe, 32, a scavenger who survived the disaster. “I took a lot of spins. I broke my leg. I don’t know how, but I was buried with my face uncovered, so I could breathe until I was rescued.”

Still, the “miners” call the dangerous heavy rain “the blessing of winter,” because the increased flow of water improves their chances of finding more metal.

If the scavengers don’t find jewelry, they collect screws, faucets and other recyclable metal items that they can sell for 85 cents a pound. That amounts to twice the minimum wage for an average trip.

Indian anti-graft activist vows to reform group

NEW DELHI (AP) — The charismatic leader of a popular Indian anti-corruption movement ended a 20-day vow of silence Friday with a promise to reform the leadership of his group amid growing criticism of his top aides.

Anna Hazare said he took the vow of silence to regain strength after a 12-day August hunger strike demanding strong anti-graft laws.

Hazare has been demanding that Parliament pass his sweeping proposal to create a powerful anti-corruption watchdog that would police all government officials, from the prime minister to the lowest village bureaucrat. The proposal, along with other versions of the bill, will be debated in Parliament’s next session, which starts Nov. 22.

The hunger strike brought tens of thousands of ordinary Indians, fed up with the country’s deeply entrenched corruption, to the New Delhi fairground where he held camp. Thousands more marched in support in cities across the country.

But in recent days his movement has been wracked by controversy.

Two leaders said it had grown too political and quit.

A third said the team needed restructuring. Two of Haz-

are’s closest aides also found themselves embroiled in their own scandals.

Hazare denied his aides were corrupt, and his two accused allies, Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal, stood next to him during his news conference. But he promised to make new rules to decide how top leaders were chosen.

“The movement started suddenly and we did not have time to think about the structure of the core committee,” he told reporters in New Delhi on Friday.

Bedi, India’s first highranking woman police officer and one of the movement’s most visible faces, was found to have sent dozens of inflated travel bills to organizations, some of them charities, that had invited her to speak.

Actual economy airfares were billed as business class and discounted tickets were billed as full fare to the tune of hundreds of thousands of rupees (thousands of dollars).

Bedi accepted that she had fudged her bills but claimed that all the money was meant to fund the good works of her own charity. She called the charges of corruption “silly” and “stupid,” even as her organization said it would return the funds to any of the organizations that asked for them back.

ENTERTAINMENT

Third ‘Harold & Kumar’ a familiar trip Pot smoke, mounds of coke and little, bitty Ecstasy pills. Urine, feces and semen. Topless nuns, stoned kids and a bloody Santa Claus. And of course, a singing and dancing Neil Patrick Harris.

These are among the many things that get thrown at the wall — sometimes literally — in “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas.” Very few of them stick. This third film in the “Harold & Kumar” franchise is inordinately jacked up with visual effects and peppy holiday music, but nothing can disguise the fact that this series has run out of steam, that the film’s stars have outgrown the roles that made them famous.

Even references to the celebrity they’ve achieved outside these movies — that John Cho played Sulu in J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” and Kal Penn worked for President Obama’s administration in the White House Of fice of Public Engagement — feel too cute. And as is so often the case, they’re just not all that funny. Much of the humor comes from the same tired, repetitive stoner shtick. The main difference is that when someone takes a long hit off a bong

(or joint or pipe), the smoke comes wafting toward you from the screen.

Yes, the use of 3-D is super gimmicky, but hey, at least director Todd Strauss-Schulson is consistent in staying with it the whole way through in making his first feature.

Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who wrote the 2004 cult hit “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle” and wrote and directed the 2008 sequel “Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay,” are credited with the screenplay, but very little of the original daring and verve remains.

By this point, Cho’s Harold and Penn’s Kumar have grown apart. Harold is a Wall Street big shot (with the obligatory protestors chanting outside his window) living a comfortable suburban life and trying to have a baby with his wife, Maria (Paula Garces).

Kumar, meanwhile, remains disheveled and stoned all day in his rundown apartment, having been kicked out of medical school for failing a drug test.

A convoluted set of cirinvolving cumstances deflowering a virgin, finding the perfect Christmas tree and outsmarting Ukrainian mobsters creates

Roswell Daily Record

AP Photo In this image released by Warner Bros. Pictures, John Cho, right, and Kal Penn are shown in a scene from “A Very Harold & the opportunity for these two old friends to reconcile.

They also get a chance to reunite with Harris, who revisits the role that helped reinvigorate his career: a fictionalized, drugged-up, hyper -sexualized (and voraciously straight) version of himself. Harris smoothly rides a fine line between smiling, preening

TV star and scheming, predatory fiend. When he’s on screen, there’s an exciting and even dangerous air about the movie that’s missing elsewhere, with the raunchiness of the R-rated comedy now seeming so pervasive and tame.

A couple of other elements to point out in this hodgepodge of cinematic

styles and silly subplots: a Claymation sequence when the pals go on a bad drug trip that’s darkly paranoid and good for a few laughs; and the Wafflebot, a talking droid that serves fresh waffles and loyally follows its owner. You don’t have to have the munchies to enjoy it, but being under the influence of something

might make the film a lot more effective.

“A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated R for strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, pervasive language, drug use and some violence.

Running time: 90 minutes.

One and a half stars out of four.

a posse consisting of residents and employees played by Br oderick, Affleck, Michael Pena and Gabourey Sidibe, aren’t exactly up to the task.

They’ve never stolen anything in their lives. The fact that Shaw is under house arrest complicates their plan further.

Josh enlists Murphy’s character, Slide, whom he’s known since they wer e kids, to give them some tips. Slide isn’t nearly the criminal mastermind he professes himself to be, but these guys don’t know that; in one amusing montage, he sends them out to shoplift random items at the mall just to pr ove they can rip of f something.

One of the genius elements of the script — cr edited to T ed Grif fin (“Ocean’s Eleven”) and Jeff Nathanson (“Catch Me If You Can”) — is that it actually fleshes these characters out, which makes you car e about whether they can pull this thing of f. And the vivid childhood memories Josh and Slide have of each other is a running joke that adds to the movie’s absurdity; Stiller is solid and hits just the right tone as the righteously indignant anchor at the center of this increasing mayhem.

At the same time, Josh strikes up an unlikely flirtation with the tough-asnails FBI agent on the case, played by Tea Leoni.

She grew up in workingclass Queens, like Shaw, and she’s disgusted by the flashy swindler he’s become. Leoni has one great scene in which her character gets drunk with Stiller’s and turns a little too forthcoming; it’s a great reminder of what a natural comedienne she is, and it makes you want to see more of her.

The heist itself is, of course, completely ridiculous, but that’s part of the point — and part of the fun. Ratner keeps things moving so fluidly that you’ll probably just roll with it. And his film is lighted and shot so beautifully (the work of two-time Oscar -nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti) and it feels so substantial in terms of production values, you can’t help but be drawn in.

These feel like actual people doing actual stunts — especially during the crime itself, which takes place during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — which sadly seems like a rarity in this age of computer -generated extravaganzas.

“Tower Heist,” a Universal Pictur es r elease, is rated PG-13 for language and sexual content. Running time: 104 minutes.

Three stars out of four.

Stiller-led ‘Tower Heist’ is so fun, it’s criminal

AP Photo “T ower Heist” is an ensemble, and a strong one at that, led by Ben Stiller, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck and Tea Leoni. But Brett Ratner’s blast of an action comedy truly brings out the best in Eddie Murphy, something many of us may have forgotten even existed.

Fast-talking, flummoxed and full of false bravado, Murphy gives a performance as a low-level thief that recalls his signature

work in the movies that made him a superstar in the mid-1980s — like “48 Hours” and “Beverly Hills Cop.” When Murphy’s on screen in his classic comic mode, it’s hard to focus on anyone or anything else.

It’s as if we’ve turned back time and erased all those family-friendly duds and lame laughers that required him to climb into yet another fat suit or talk to even more animals.

“Tower Heist” deflates a bit when Murphy’s not

around, but for the most part, Ratner’s movie is slick and crowd-pleasing — even more successfully so than his “Rush Hour” films — and it couldn’t be more relevant in exploring the disparity between the haves and have-nots. Following “In T ime,” this is the second week in a row with a new release that plays like “Robin Hood” for the Occupy Wall Str eet crowd.

Stiller stars as Josh, the longtime manager of a lux-

ury high-rise in Manhattan; it’s actually the Trump International Hotel and Tower at Columbus Circle. When the financial guru who lives in the penthouse is charged with stealing billions from his investors — including the hardworking tower staff — Josh comes up with a plan to steal their money back.

Alan Alda plays this Ber nar d Madof f figur e with just the right mix of affability and sleaze.

But Josh’s accomplices,

Latest Flavia de Luce mystery a holiday delight Actress Piper Laurie “I Am Half-Sick of Shadows” (Delacorte Press), by Alan Bradley: Flavia de Luce is a mystery lover’s dream: She’s exceptionally bright and logical, and she has a taste for chemistry that both comes in handy when solving crime and provides an outlet when life’s hassles — which for 11-year-old Flavia take the form of two older sisters — get her down.

Her latest adventure takes place at Christmastime. Her father, to earn money desperately needed to save Buckshaw, the family estate, has opened their home to a movie crew filming the latest vehicle for famous actress Phyllis Wyvern.

Meanwhile, Flavia has devised a plan to catch Father Christmas in the act, after deciding that he must exist: After all, her sisters always lie, so their claim that

Father Christmas is a myth is suspect, and no one else in the family would bring Flavia exactly what she wants for Christmas, when everyone else gets “such dud gifts.”

Flavia’s belief in Santa Claus might be considered uncharacteristic or cloying considering her advanced scientific knowledge; that her plan to catch him involves birdlime (a sticky compound usually smeared on branches to catch birds) turns what might have been too precocious into a wickedly delightful subplot.

The promise of a private performance by the movie stars at Buckshaw attracts all the residents of nearby village Bishop’s Lacey, and a snowstorm traps them all there overnight. And then, some time during that night, Phyllis Wyvern is mur-

dered. Everyone’s a suspect.

It’s a classic closed circle mystery, and Bradley executes it perfectly — Agatha Christie would be proud. By the time Flavia discovers the body, the book is practically half over, and one realizes that all the pieces needed to solve the mystery have already been put in place, and all it takes is a little back story and a bit of research for Flavia to solve the mystery, which she does in an outrageous and thoroughly enjoyable climactic scene involving a rooftop chase and fireworks.

This is the fourth Flavia de Luce mystery, but like any good serial, it still provides an excellent introduction to the de Luce family and their surroundings.

Bradley provides just enough callback to previous volumes to provide context without stepping over into spoilers.

writes absorbing memoir

“Learning to Live Out Loud: A Memoir” (Crown Archetype), by Piper Laurie: Rosetta Jacobs was a bright and thoughtful child but struggled to express herself. Only after she was a teenager and theater marquees began carrying her new name — Piper Laurie — did the quiet girl from Detroit begin to find the strength to speak up.

It would take time and heartache for her to reach a full-throated freedom.

“Learning to Live Out Loud” is Laurie’s absorbing memoir about that personal transition as well as her professional development from a popular star of grade B entertainments to an Oscar-nominated actress (“The Hustler,” “Carrie” and “Children of a Lesser God”) who also had memorable roles on

television and the stage.

She was bor n in 1932 to first-generation American Jews — her mother’s parents had emigrated from Russia, her father’s from Poland. They accepted their youngest daughter’s relative silence — she now believes she suf fered from acute anxiety disorder — without much question.

Laurie would find her voice through the make-believe world of acting. But she wanted to say something meaningful, too.

Her career as a Universal contract player in movies like 1951’s “The Prince Who Was a Thief” turned out to be profitable but hardly challenging.

Rebelling against her image as a “perky starlet,” she tore up her contract in spite of an uncertain future.

Checking out the New Age vibe in Sedona Roswell Daily Record

SEDONA, Ariz. (AP) — “You’re a teacher, a guider.

You transmit energy. You also have a deep connection to the spirit world, to spirits,” says spiritual adviser Leon Pelletier, as he analyzes a Polaroid of my aura.

That’s right, a Polaroid of my aura. I had just undergone an otherworldly photo shoot. I’d stepped right up to a deep purple chair, placed my palms on an outline of hands and poof, moments later, there was a blurry vision of my face enveloped by hues of blue and white with a dollop of light pink.

Now, I’m no New Age devotee — heck, I barely downward dog. But I am curious about spiritual pursuits. So on a trip to Arizona, I decided to stop in Sedona to have my “aura” photographed before hiking the area’s famed “energy vortexes.” A posthike photo would determine if my soul had been reconfigured. If I didn’t come out healed, revitalized and with a pink-hued aura — considered the color of unconditional love and harmony in spiritual circles — at least I’d have seen some stunning scenery.

I’m slightly perplexed by Pelletier’s analysis of my connection to the spirit world since the only spirits I seem to know well are gin and vodka. But as I sit in his dimly lit office, adorned with butter fly cutouts, transcendental music providing a solemn soundtrack to his assessment and sandalwood incense wafting through the air, I’m pretty sure he’s not talking cocktails.

I can’t exactly suspend my suspension of disbelief now though, so I head off with Pelletier to hike Cathedral Rock. A land-

mark of Sedona’s skyline and one of the most photographed sights in Arizona, Cathedral Rock is located in the Coconino National Forest, just over a two-hour drive from Phoenix. Cathedral is considered one of the four main energy vortexes in Sedona. (Note to the grammar police: They are referred to as vortexes, not vortices.) A vortex, according to believers, is an area of invisible, swirling energy emanating from the earth that produces an uplifting, healing, rejuvenating sensation. The source is unknown and not scientifically proven, but that has not stopped Sedona from building a culture and tourism industry around it.

The city, with a population of just over 10,000, is a place where crystal merchants, aging hippies and the unapologetically wacky converge. It seems like every other person is a healer or a psychic; many say they were drawn here by the city’s mystical powers.

And whether you believe in auras or not, Cathedral Rock stuns the senses. A gleaming sun beams over mustard-red buttes, spires and mesas that surround the city like the ruins of fortress walls. The air is war m but crisp. The silence of the vast desert landscape is interrupted only by calls from wildlife, the rustling of birds through trees and the occasional human passerby. Everywhere you turn, a pinnacle cartoon-like stands higher than the next. As we begin our ascent upon the rusty red rocks, I expect to see Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote scoot by with a trail of “meep, meep” as they scuffle up dust from the rocks, which get their trademark

AP Photo This Sept. 12 photo shows Charmaine Noronha, right, as she hikes the pinnacles of Cathedral Rock in Sedona, Ariz. A landmark of Sedona’s skyline and one of the most photographed sights in Arizona, Cathedral Rock is located in the Coconino National coloring from iron ore.

According to Pelletier, Cathedral Rock is a “feminine” energy source, which can help build qualities like kindness, compassion, patience, and the ability to let others need you and depend on you. I could stand to refine my so-called lady-like attributes, so I say bring it! Of course I’m skeptical — but open to the possibilities nonetheless.

And I have to admit I’m surprised to feel an odd tingling sensation in my fingers as we begin our walk. Pelletier says we’re close to an “energy spring.”

He attributes a juniper tree’s twisted trunks and branches to the vortex energy and asks if I’d like to sit near the tree and undergo “integrated energy

Jury begins considering fate of Jackson doctor

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jurors considering the case against Michael Jackson’s doctor completed a morning of deliberations without asking any questions about evidence or otherwise indicating how far along they have gotten in their discussions.

The seven-man, five-woman panel did request highlighters and blank forms to request evidence after starting deliberations around 8:30 a.m.

The jury must reach a unanimous verdict to either convict or acquit Dr. Conrad Murray of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson’s June 2009 death.

Jackson died from a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol; Murray has acknowledged giving Jackson propofol to help him sleep.

The group will deliberate during the court’s regular hours and has not been sequestered. The trial is ending its sixth week.

During closing arguments, attorneys for the Houston-based cardiologist attacked prosecutors and their witnesses, saying they had over time developed stories and theories that placed the blame for Jackson’s death squarely on

Murray.

Prosecutors countered that Murray was an opportunistic and inept doctor who left Jackson’s three children without a father. They said that Murray giving Jackson propofol as a sleep aid violated standards of care and amounted to a secret experiment in

which the doctor kept no records.

Media were stationed outside the courthouse and in the courtroom where the jury’s decision will eventually be read.

Attorneys handling the case will receive a two-hour notice when a verdict is reached.

therapy.” Huh? You mean hiking these rocks doesn’t provide enough purported healing?

But when in Sedona... So I nestle into a spot on a rock. Pelletier asks me to come up with something I’d like to see manifest in my life. R yan Gosling, the dreamy actor, I mutter. He starts what sounds like a prayer — minus references to God — and says he’s tapping into nine “cellular memory” areas: guilt, shame, “shoulds,” distrust, threat, heartache, anger, stress, and fear, while asking for the reverse of each feeling.

No desert lizard appears as Prince Charming but we continue our ascent. There is no distinct path so we create our own, hopping

from rock to rock and latching onto rock faces to pull ourselves higher and higher. We finally reach a summit of sorts, nestled between two massive pinnacles. All I can see for miles are the orange-red rocks interspersed with lush greenery.

I can’t say I felt the vortexes but it’s hard not to be affected by the beauty of this landscape. I sit for a while and take it all in as a vulture loops through the sky in the distance. After a while we begin our descent, and were back on solid ground 90 minutes later.

As I posed for my posthike aura picture in Pelletier’s of fice, my muscles ached, my skin glistened with sweat and my voice was hoarse from dehydra-

Apparently, I had done it.

“You now have the energy of unconditional love.

You’ve built a deeper connection to spirituality.

Orange is the energy of creation. You’ve wiped the slate clean and come out a new person,” said Pelletier.

I can’t say I felt like an entirely new being, but I definitely felt a renewed appreciation for Mother Earth in all her glory, and amid my fatigue from the hike, I also felt renewed and content. I’m not holding out hope for R yan Gosling to “manifest” in my life. But I do have some pretty spectacular photos to make him jealous if we ever do meet.
