Obama, Romney in crackling debate

WEDNESDAY

www.rdrnews.com

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — An aggressive President Barack Obama accused challenger Mitt Romney of favoring a “one-point plan” to help the rich in America and playing politics with the recent deadly terrorist attack in Libya in a Tuesday night debate crackling with energy and emotion just three weeks before the election.

Romney pushed back hard, saying the middle class “has been crushed over the last four years,” that 23 million Americans are struggling to find work and that the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya was part of an unraveling of the administration’s foreign policy.

The president was feistier from the outset than he had been in their initial encounter two weeks ago, when he turned in a listless performance that sent shudders through his supporters and helped fuel a rise

SS benefits get a Raul to let Cubans travel 1.7 percent bump

WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 56 million Americans on Social Security will get raises averaging $19 a month come January, one of the smallest hikes since automatic adjustments for inflation were adopted in 1975, the gover nment announced Tuesday.

Much of the 1.7 percent increase in benefits could get wiped out by higher Medicare premiums, which are deducted from Social Security payments.

At the same time, about 10 million working people who make more than $110,100 will be hit with a tax increase next year

because more of their wages will be subjected to Social Security taxes.

The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, on payments is tied to a government measure of inflation released Tuesday. It confir ms that inflation has been relatively low over the past year, despite the recent surge in gasoline prices.

Social Security recipients received a 3.6 percent increase in benefits this year after getting none the previous two years.

HAVANA (AP) — The Cuban gover nment announced Tuesday that it will eliminate a halfcentury-old restriction that requires citizens to get an exit visa to leave the country.

Under the new measure announced in the Communist Party daily Granma, islanders will only have to show their passport and a visa from the country they are traveling

WASHINGTON (AP) — European astronomers say that just outside our solar system they’ve found a planet that’s the closest you can get to Earth in location and size.

This artist’s impression made available by the European Southern Observatory on Tuesday, shows a planet, right, orbiting the star Alpha Centauri B, center, a member of the triple star system that is the closest to Earth.

It is the type of planet they’ve been searching for across the Milky Way galaxy and they found it circling a star right next door — 25 trillion miles away.

But the Earth-like planet is so hot its surface may be like molten lava. Life cannot survive the 2,200-degree heat of the planet, so close to its star that it circles it every few days.

The nerds are back and promising a thrilling time Oct. 27 as Landsun Computers sponsors the Thrill the World and Zombie Walk fundraising event.

The day will feature various events leading up to the Thrill the World dance, an annual event where people around the world gather in various locations to simultaneously dance to Michael Jackson’s hit song “Thriller.” There will also be numerous opportunities for everyone to make an

impact on the community by raising money during the Zombie Walk and giving blood at the United Blood Services blood donation bus that will be on site.

Krizel Rodriguez, cofounder of Landsun Computers and regional board member of Big Brother Big Sisters of SENM, said the event is a healthy balance of fun and community service.

Domestic violence: Law enforcement, statistics and the real face of the problem JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Nationally, statistics indicate that 1 in 4 people will be affected by domestic violence; three people will die every day. The local statistics for 2012 reveal the breadth of the problem.

The Roswell Refuge compiles domestic violence calls using the figures provided by dispatch. Executive director Michelle Royer warned that the statistics can be deceiving. These represent only the tip of the iceberg. “Most incidents of domestic violence are never reported to the police,” she said.

January and March were the worst months with 66 and 74 reported incidents, respectively, and 22 arrests. The fewest number of calls occurred in July and September, with a total of 40. The year to date total is 505 calls and more than 50 arrests.

The figures reported by the Roswell Police Department are recorded by crime. According to its most recent figures from June 2012, there were 39 arrests for verbal abuse, 6 for battery and 2 for aggravated battery, for a total of 47 arrests related to a family violence.

Often domestic violence

is not recorded as such, so an incident is reported by an officer as arson after a person’s ex burns all her clothing in the backyard, or as threats or harassment when a victim finds a teddy bear left in her house by her husband with a knife embedded in its neck and all the family photos shredded. Both incidents took place in Roswell during the past two weeks. Even burglaries and larcenies may stem from a domestic dispute where a partner comes into a home and removes disputed items.

Meanwhile the Chaves County Sherif f’s Of fice serves between 40 to 50

temporary restraining orders each month, or somewhere between 480 and 600 per year. Lt. Daniel Ornelas, who now sits on the board of the Roswell Refuge, feels domestic violence is serious for a number of reasons.

“Sometimes they are the most dangerous calls you can go on.”

He can give no firm figures on the number of calls received by the SO. “There can be two to three calls a night. Sometimes there’s nothing. Other nights we can get up to 10 calls,” Ornelas said.

Chief Al Solis said the RPD takes these cases seri-

ously. “We put full focus on domestic violence and work in cooperation with the DA’s office to get convictions.”

Convictions, though, can be hard fought because many people still believe the victim must have done something to deserve it.

Some rest on the old adage that it is a husband’s right to hit his wife. District Attorney Janetta Hicks perseveres because she views each successful conviction of a domestic violence case as “homicide prevention.”

New Internet scam cites FBI JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

A new scam has hit the Inter net, known as FBI Moneypak ransomware.

The ransomware, quite literally holds a computer hostage with a box that carries a message saying that the FBI has locked a person out, allegedly for crimes committed. It demands a fine paid via “Moneypak.”

This virus hit the Internet in June, although there have been others using the FBI name.

The FBI Moneypak virus infects between 10,000 to 30,000 computers a day and has gone through several permutations. One version of this malware, according to DFN Systems, 706 W. Hobbs St., tells the operator to “sit still; the FBI is on their way.”

Frank Fisher, media liaison for the FBI’s Albuquerque office, said, “If you get an email, a prompt or dialogue box from the FBI demanding money for fines, it’s not us. We don’t operate that way. If we want you, we will knock at your door with a warrant in our hands.”

Roswell Police Chief Al Solis agreed. “If I get an email from the FBI, I just delete it. They don’t do that sort of thing.”

Chaves County Sheriff Office’s Lt. Daniel Ornelas, who has been trained in computer forensics, explained that the FBI has shut down this scam at least once; but the culprits switched to a different server. “These people will use different addresses or go through several server locations just to hide their location. The money, too, may be transferred through several accounts.”

The malware is considered one of the most dangerous. It can infect computers using AVG, McAfee, Microsoft and Norton security protection. John Wilmink, of Oasis Computers, 1703 N. Garden Ave., noted that antivirus software only works for those who don’t get infected. It doesn’t correct the problem. He recommended that people access his website (oasis-computers.net) to find out more about computer viruses.

Fisher resents the misuse of the FBI name. “The scammers use it because people trust the FBI. They are taking advantage of that trust.”

Many people believe the viruses come from emails; however, the FBI-Moneypak malware may infect a computer when the user is at what he thinks is a legitimate customer support site. “Often websites will advertise themselves as Microsoft af filiates, but they are not,” said DFN’s Ryan Bair.

Once the computer is locked, no information, files or folders can be accessed,

which makes it almost impossible to remove the virus from the computer because the system cannot be accessed and the virus cannot be stopped or deleted.

Donna Gregory of the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) said, “We’re getting inundated with complaints.” She referred to the virus as Reveton ransomware, which is designed to extort money from its victims.

Reveton is described as drive-by malware because unlike many viruses, which activate when users open a file or attachment, this one can install itself when users simply click on a compromised website. Once the computer is infected, the victim’s monitor displays a screen stating there has been a violation of federal law. Rebooting the computer is no help.

The bogus message goes on to say that the FBI, as having been associated with child por nography sites or other illegal online activity, identified the user’s Internet address. To unlock their machines, users are required to pay a fine using a prepaid money card service.

“Some people have actually paid the so-called fine, but Reveton freezes your computer and stops it in its tracks. And the average user will not be able to easily remove the malware,” Gregory said.

The IC3 suggests the following: •Do not pay any money or provide any personal information.

•Contact a computer professional to remove the virus from your computer.

•Be aware that even if you are able to unfreeze your computer on your own, the malware may still operate in the background.

Certain types of malware have been known to capture personal information such as user names, passwords, and credit card numbers through embedded keystroke logging programs.

•File a complaint and look for updates about the Reveton virus on the IC3 website at ic3.gov/.

The fix can, though, be expensive. Oasis charges $50 to $200, depending on the number of viruses found on the computer.

Bair at DFN said the FBI Moneypak malware acts as an open door to other viruses. DFN charges for removal range from $89 to $189. One person affected by a virus went to an online firm and ended up paying $700.

astronomers already talking about how to speed up a 25 trillion-mile rocket trip there. Scientists have already started pressuring NASA and the European Space Agency to come up with missions to send something out that way to get a look at least.

The research was released online Tuesday in the journal Nature. There has been a European-U.S. competition to find the nearest and most Earthlike exoplanets — planets outside our solar system. So far scientists have found 842 of them, but think they number in the billions.

While the newly discovered planet circles Alpha Centauri B, it’s part of a system of three stars: Alpha Centauri A, B and the slightly more distant Proxima Centauri. Systems

with two or more stars are more common than single stars like our sun, astronomers say.

This planet has the smallest mass — a measurement of weight that doesn’t include gravity — that has been found outside our solar system so far. With a mass of about 1.1 times the size of Earth, it is strikingly similar in size.

Alpha Centauri was the first place the private Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence program looked in its decade-long hunt for radio signals that signify alien intelligent life. Nothing was found, but that doesn’t mean nothing is there, said SETI Institute astronomer Seth Shostak.

The European team spent four years using the European Southern Obser-

vatory in Chile to look for planets at Alpha Centauri B and its sister stars Alpha Centauri A and Proxima Centauri. They used a technique that finds other worlds by looking for subtle changes in a star’s speed as it races through the galaxy.

Part of the problem is that the star is so close and so bright — though not as bright as the sun — that it made it harder to look for planets, said study lead author Xavier Dumusque of the Geneva Observatory.

Dumusque described what it might be like on this odd and still unnamed hot planet. Its closest star is so near that it would always hang huge in the sky. And whichever side of the planet faced the star would be broiling hot, with the other side icy cold.

Social Security is supported by a 12.4 percent tax on wages up to $110,100. That threshold will increase to $113,700 next year, resulting in higher taxes for nearly 10 million workers and their employers, according to the Social Security Administration.

OPINION

There’s more to vote on than just the presidential contest

SANTA FE — From early indications it will be Republican bullies vs. Democratic lawyers at the polls on Election Day, Nov. 6.

For those of you who aren’t up for such excitement, absentee voting, which already has begun, or early voting, which begins Oct. 20, may be the answer.

We’ve already seen news that a poll watcher class for Republicans was held in Albuquerque in late September to teach volunteers methods of challenging potential voters.

Democratic leaders charge that some of the methods discussed are not legal. The state party has sent an email throughout its system warning that tea party bullies will be at the polls intimidating voters.

The Democratic Party asks that everyone receiving the email donate $25 to $100 or more for lawyers on the ground to fight efforts to steal elections from under our noses.

How exciting. You don’t want to miss it. Will it be a David vs. Goliath fight? The bullies appear to be mere

volunteers. They will be up against highly trained paid professionals.

OK, I’ve spent 160 words trying to get you excited about voting. Now, please humor me by reading the next 500 words about the serious choices on the back side of the ballot.

You’ve heard much about the big races at the top of the ballot. And you won’t be able to escape hearing more. But this may be your only shot at learning something about appellate judges, constitutional amendments and statewide bond issues.

First the judges. Supreme Court Justice Richard Bosson and Court of Appeals Judges Roderick

Roswell Daily Record

Kennedy and Michael Vigil stand this year for retention. You get to decide whether they have done a good job. But unless you are a trial lawyer, how would you possibly know?

That’s why a Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission has been created. It is a nonpartisan group that evaluates judges on fairness, legal knowledge, communications skills, preparation, attentiveness and temperament. The JPEC reviews written opinions, caseload statistics, interviews, self-evaluations and independent surveys.

All three passed muster and are recommended. If they receive 57 percent of the vote, they get to stay.

If this sounds like some sort of compromise, you’re right. It’s an attempt to keep judges out of politics without giving them a lifetime appointment.

Now for the constitutional amendments. Amendment 1 would put a municipal judge on the state Judicial Standards Commission.

They feel it is only fair to be includ-

ed since everyone else is.

Amendments 2, 3 and 4 relate to the troubled Public Regulation Commission. There was sentiment to make the commission appointive by the governor in order to increase the quality of commissioners but the Legislature’s decision was to keep it elective but to increase requirements and transfer some of the commission’s many duties to appropriate executive agencies.

Amendment 5 would take the Public Defender’s Office from under the governor and make it an independent department. The amendment would bring New Mexico in line with national standards and would eliminate the conflict of the governor being in charge of both law enforcement and indigent defense.

And finally, bond issues. State capital construction is financed through budget surpluses, severance taxes and bond issues voted on by the public at general elections.

Legislators decide on how budget surplus money and severance taxes

are used. We usually call it pork.

The popular projects, such as senior citizen centers, libraries and higher education are put to a public vote.

Higher education construction gets about 85 percent of the pie.

Seniors and libraries are the other two bond questions. These bonds replace retired bonds, so they won’t produce a tax increase, if passed.

The secretary of state’s website, www.sos.state.nm.us, contains further information on some of these issues. Think Mexico’s website, www.thinknewmexico.org, has information on the PRC constitutional amendments.

Further information on the three statewide judicial races can be found at www.nmjpec.org or by calling 505-827-4960. The League of Women Voters, www.lwvnm.org, should have something posted by the time you read this.

Tie vote possible

As the horserace aspect of this year’s presidential election ramps up, it’s interesting to look at the various scenarios of how each candidate can reach the magic number of 269 electoral votes.

Wait! Astute readers are screaming: What a terrible error the newspaper just made — a candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win!

Who said anything about winning?

Much like NASCAR fans secretly root for wrecks, political and news junkies dream of an Electoral College tie.

It’s not as farfetched as you might think.

Take this year. Let’s give President Obama: Ohio, New Mexico, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. And let’s give Mitt Romney: Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Iowa, Nevada and Colorado.

See anything crazy in those lists? Each candidate is, at worst, in a dead heat in those states.

If that were to play out, we would be tied at 269.

That’s when things get fun — and serious.

Fun because we would be looking at weeks of jockeying as the process plays out in the Electoral College and then, presumably, Congress.

Serious because it would reveal the Electoral College and our presidential election process for the sham that it is.

Here’s how it works: First, the Electoral College would meet and vote. Now let’s stop right here. This puts immense power in the hands of these electors. Any one elector could subvert the will of the state he or she represents and change their vote. Does anybody think this is a good idea?

Now, let’s assume all the electors remained loyal. The election would then be thrown in to the U.S. House of Representatives. Each state delegation would caucus and vote internally on a candidate. Whichever candidate wins becomes that state’s single vote for president. This gives North Dakota the same number of votes as California, Texas or North Carolina. Right now, the breakdown of state delegations is 33-17 in favor of Republicans.

But remember, the new Congress would be making these decisions.

Finally, the new Senate would elect the vice-president. So, would a Democratic-controlled Senate feel obligated to elect Paul Ryan if Romney wins in the House, or would they stick Romney with Joe Biden?

As fun as all this would be for politicos, it sure seems to us that the process could and should be simplified. First of all, the human factor could be removed from the Electoral College — whatever electoral votes a candidate receives is what he gets.

Second, the entire ticket should be elected

by Congress, not the president in one chamber and the vice-president in the other.

Finally, there should be a more representative way than “one vote/one delegation” for having the House elect the president.

Of course, some will argue that the entire Electoral College process should be scrapped in favor of a pure popular vote election. We would not go that far.

But while we’re arguing that point, we will keep checking those electoral map projections, secretly hoping that the magic number is 269, not 270.

Guest Editorial The Kinston Free Press DEAR DOCTOR K: I hear people talk about psychopaths. Can you tell me how to recognize them so I can avoid them? Do they “snap” and become violent?

DEAR READER: Psychopathy is a psychological condition. I’m sure that events and relationships earlier in life have some influence on whether a psychopath behaves in a destructive way. But I also think the evidence shows that psychopaths are “born” more than they are “made.” It is my opinion that the condition is inherited, and that it produces changes in brain chemistry that lead to psychopathic behavior.

and moderator Martha Raddatz broke in at least 50 times, mostly interrupting Ryan. At first I wanted Raddatz to tell Biden to stop behaving like a bully, but the longer the debate went on Biden revealed something about his character, which is, or ought to be, at the center of

what they want. They are also more likely to engage in impulsive behavior, to become emotional and aggressive.

Psychopaths are often superficially charming and glib. At first, they capture people’s attention easily and even gain their trust. That helps them to take advantage of others because they know that acting friendly and helpful will help them get what they want.

Some, but not all, psychopaths can be violent. But a psychopath is just as willing to use a well-timed compliment to achieve his or her goals.

Fortunately, there are relatively few true psychopaths whom we interact with. But unfortunately, there are a lot of people with some of the

any campaign for high office.

On split screen, Biden’s smirks, chuckles and head shaking revealed a man who was rude and disrespectful toward Ryan. He displayed an attitude that said, “Hey, I’m the one entitled to this office, buster. You are just an interloper who doesn’t deserve it.”

There was also a mighty generational gap. Biden, 69, represents an era and philosophy forged in the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

That was a time when the notion of entitlement and government programs designed to “help” people began to replace living within one’s means and

same personality features.

There’s a newly emerging term, an “almost psychopath,” coined by researchers at Harvard Medical School. The distinction between a psychopath and an “almost psychopath” is the lesser degree and frequency with which they exhibit psychopathic traits. The evidence is that there are a lot of “almost psychopaths” in the world around us.

Perhaps you suspect you are involved with a psychopath or “almost psychopath” — at home, work or elsewhere. Here are some considerations and actions to keep in mind: — Accept the possibility that you are in a very bad situaSee DR. K, Page A5

This notion of the government being our keeper and a first resource, instead of a last resort, has created a culture of dependency, not only for those who receive the largesse, but for a country which is now in hock to China, a nation that bears America no good will and steals our military secrets and scientific knowledge.

Bond C supported

Dear Editor: There is a higher education bond initiative on the November ballot — General Obligation Bond C. It sets aside $119,400,000 statewide for capital improvements such as remodeling and updating classrooms, constructing or renovating facilities to meet student needs and making badly needed repairs.

ENMU-Roswell is similar to many public colleges and universities that have buildings in need of repair and facilities that lack adequate heating and cooling. At ENMURoswell, the passage of Bond C will authorize $1.5 million for infrastructure improvements at our campus. Specifically, we will complete the following projects: • Replace a boiler in the Occupational Technology Center (OTC); • Replace the roof on the Arts and Science Center (ASC).

A vote for Bond C is good for ENMURoswell, good for Roswell and good for Chaves County. Bond projects bring jobs and revenues to local economies across the state.

Voting “yes” on this statewide bond will not increase property taxes since other bonds are retiring.

Please support the General Obligation Bond C when you vote! Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell appreciates the community’s continued support.

Protect human life

Dear Editor: I was shocked and saddened to read of the recent incidents involving animal cruelty in Roswell. The Sept. 18 and 25 newspapers had front page photos of two dogs that were set on fire. Since then letters have been published which convey the righteous anger and disgust of readers concerning these cruel acts.

What concerns me, however, is that there was no public response, or outcry, when a photo of the mutilated body of an aborted baby was printed in the Roswell Daily Record earlier this year. Throughout America, thousands of unborn babies’ tiny bodies are pulled apart or salted to death, daily, in their mothers' wombs, and there is very little concern in the public arena regarding this extreme cruelty. As the paper reported, a 12year-old boy is considered a criminal for inflicting torture upon an animal, whereas, mature, professional abortion doctors make thousands of dollars torturing tiny human beings to death. What hypocrisy in this great nation of ours! God help us, and God help America!

However, there is hope! On Sunday, Oct. 7, 65 Roswell citizens joined the annual Life Chain, in unity with over 1,500 Life Chains across America and Canada, to pray for an end to this heinous act, and to pray for all its victims — the babies, and their mothers and their fathers. Thank you to all those who stand for life.

Sincerely, Margaret Rodriguez Roswell otherwise abused, get out as quickly and safely as you can.

I’ve put a description of an “almost psychopath” on my website: AskDoctorK.com. It’s taken from an insightful book by my Harvard colleagues Dr. Ronald Schouten and Dr. James Silver, “Almost a Psychopath.” In everyday language, it describes how to recognize “almost psychopaths” and how to protect yourself from them. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Southeast NM vet health access problem after 5 years

Here’s a repeat of my column on June 18, 2008, released before the 2008 elections (Obama’s “yes we can” victory, and subsequent “no you didn't" result). The attention is being re-focused on issues discussed in the column.

Please read closely. How much improved in the last four years? Please let me repeat what I’ve said in past columns. The physicians, dentists, nurses and caregivers in the VA health care system are the best in the business: T ime after time, distances traveled by veterans in other states (data from meetings in Texas, Arkansas, the New England states, to name a few) were considered excessive if it exceeded 70 minutes round trip (3 separate areas in Texas), up to an “unheard of” travel time of 3 hours round trip (Maine). Yet, southeastern New Mexico

veterans have to travel 6 hours, but that seems to be ok. As a matter of fact, Roswell (was to have) regional services established by the VA (CARES commission initial recommendations), but all that was cancelled after the CARES hearing in El Paso, Texas, on Sept. 18, 2003.

Arguments from the Texas American Legion state commander, the Texas VVA commander, the Texas DVA commander and rather pointed letters from Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Congressman Charlie Stenholm, Texas caused Roswell not becoming a health care hub. Any mystery why proposed services in Roswell were cancelled? I think not!

Now, here is a glaring bit of bureaucratic imbecility (or foolishness). The VA Office of the Inspector General, not the US OIG,

inspects VA medical centers on a regular basis. In its own words, “The Combined Assessment Program reviews are part of the Office of Inspector General's efforts to ensure that high quality health care and benefits services are provided to our Nation's veterans.” The first major assessment regulation reviewed is, “Evaluate how well VA facilities are accomplishing their missions of providing veterans convenient access to high quality medical and benefits services.” Since no deficiency report was issued against

the Albuquerque VA Medical Center, you can only conclude the VA OIG considers the 6 ½-hour drive for southeastern veterans as ok!

As further consideration, let’s turn the tables for a moment. People making the decision on “access” to VA medical care would not make the trip from Albuquerque to Roswell, Hobbs or Carlsbad on a regular basis. One of the highest ranking of ficials in the state veterans services organization was overheard talking to a colleague from Santa Fe by three of us “down here.” He made the statement he hated making the long, boring and tiring trip from Albuquerque down here. He stated that’s why he doesn’t drive down here but once or twice (a year) unless there’s an emergency.

Consider this. We are having gasoline problems

Roswell Daily Record

in our country, yes? Think of all the gasoline being wasted by the thousands of trips made by southeastern N.M. vets to Albuquerque each year. Now, let’s take just one service, say dental care, and have one dentist and a hygienist drive down to Roswell and Hobbs twice a month (or each week depending on the caseload).

Tremendous savings in gas!

But you would lose dentists rapidly and not find replacements.

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B. Peake has appointed 13 people to a new Veterans Rural Health Advisory Committee, which will advise him on health care issues affecting veterans in rural areas. In reviewing the committee members, there were two members from Montana, two from Utah, one each from Kansas, Virginia, Maine, West Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, North

Pet of the Week

Carolina, North Dakota and, (you guessed it!)

Texas. Seems like one of the four reps from Utah/Montana could have been replaced with someone from southeaster n N.M., but what do I know!

Here’s an idea. Have the committee spend three days talking with veterans in southeastern N.M., and have them drive from Albuquerque “down here” for those three days. Right! I’m waiting to see what a system with no funds for rural health care, which will spend a ton of money on a “rural health advisory committee,” is going to do to solve southeastern N.M.’s 6-hour trip for health care!

I’ll keep you advised.

Feds seek to protect Acuña Justice seeks dismissal of

Acuña cactus

Courtesy Photo

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Federal wildlife officials have proposed protecting a little-known cactus in southern Arizona as an endangered species because it faces an immediate threat of extinction.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed protecting the 1-foot-tall Acuña cactus at Organ Pipe National Monument west of Tucson, the Arizona Daily Star reports.

The service also proposed designating 53,720 acres as critical habitat for the Acuña cactus.

Federal officials say the cactus is declining fast and has seen its numbers

drop by more than 50 percent since 1981.

They also say the cactus is threatened by drought and climate change and could be harmed by illegal immigration and border enforcement efforts.

Organ Pipe plant ecologist Sue Rutman said the cactus’ decline is typical of that of many small cacti at the national monument, where small chollas, hedgehog cacti and fishhook pincushion cacti have declined since the late 1990s.

“Smaller cacti are drought tolerant, but they can’t store much water, and they’ve really declined during the past drought,” Rutman said.

At Organ Pipe, some individual Acuñas have reportedly shrunk from one year to the next due to drought stress.

The cactus also is at risk from insects and small mammals who have uprooted, eaten away at, tunneled into it and taken away its seeds with increasing frequency in the last several decades.

War ming weather probably helps insect populations, and plants stressed by drought are more susceptible to insect attacks and disease, the wildlife service said.

Increased numbers of insects in the cactus, in turn, may attract other predators such as mammals and birds.

Nearly 80 percent of all Acuña cacti live within 10 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border. With the cacti typically spaced about 10 feet apart, vehicles driven by immigrants or their federal pursuers could potentially hurt the Acuñas.

Fast and Furious lawsuit WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department says federal courts should stay out of a political dispute between the Obama administration and Congress over documents in a botched law enforcement probe of gun trafficking.

In court papers filed Monday night, the department is seeking dismissal of a lawsuit by a Republican-led House committee, which is demanding that Attor ney General Eric Holder produce records about Operation Fast and Furious.

The Justice Department says the Constitution does not permit the courts to resolve the political dispute between the executive branch and the House Oversight and Refor m Gover nment Committee. The political branches have a long history of resolving disputes over congressional requests without judicial intervention, the court filing said.

President Barack Obama has invoked executive privilege and the attorney general has been found in contempt of the House for refusing to turn over records that might explain what led the department to reverse course after initially denying that federal agents had used a controversial tactic called gunwalking in the failed law enforcement operation.

The tactic resulted in hundreds of illegally acquired weapons purchased at Arizona gun

shops winding up in Mexico, where many of them were recovered from crime scenes. Two guns in Operation Fast and Furious were found on the U.S. side of the border at the scene of a shooting in which U.S. border agent Brian Terry was killed. In a Feb. 4, 2011, letter to Congress, the Justice Department said agents made every effort to interdict weapons that have been purchased illegally and prevent their transportation to Mexico, an assertion that tur ned out to be incorrect. Ten months later, the department withdrew the letter.

If the House lawsuit is allowed to go forward, “countless other suits by Congress are sure to follow, given the volume of document requests issued by the dozens of congressional committees that per for m oversight functions,” the Justice Department’s court filing stated. “This case thus illustrates vividly why the judiciary must defer to the time-tested political process for resolution of such disputes.”

In a statement Tuesday, House committee chairman Darrell Issa, RCalif., said the Justice Department is advancing arguments that have already been rejected by the federal judiciary. Four years ago, a federal judge rejected the George W. Bush administration’s position that senior presidential advisers could not be forced to testify to the

House Judiciary Committee. The decision was regarded as vindication of Congress’ investigative powers. But the ruling also said that Congress’ authority to compel testimony from executive branch officials was not unlimited.

In the dispute involving Operation Fast and Furious, the House asked the court to reject a claim by the president asserting executive privilege, a legal position designed to protect certain inter nal administration communications from disclosure.

The failure of Holder and House Republicans to work out a deal on the documents led to votes in June that held the attorney general in civil and criminal contempt of Congress.

In Fast and Furious, agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives abandoned the agency’s usual practice of intercepting all weapons they believed to be illicitly purchased, often as soon as they were taken out of gun shops. Instead, the goal of the tactic known as “gun-walking” was to track such weapons to high-level arms traffickers who had long eluded prosecution, and to dismantle their networks.

Federal agents lost track of many of the guns. The operation identified more than 2,000 illicitly purchased weapons, and some 1,400 of them have yet to be recovered.

OBITUARIES

Baunita Mae Scott

Memorial services are scheduled for Oct. 19, 2012, at 2 p.m., at LaGrone Funeral Chapel, for Baunita (Bonnie) Mae Scott, 83, of Roswell. She passed away on Oct. 11, 2012, at her home. The Rev. T im Arlett, of Adventure Bible Church, will conduct the service. Burial will follow in South Park Cemetery.

Bonnie was born Feb. 16, 1929, in Marshalltown, Iowa, to John and Nancy Price Fouts. She was married to Kenneth Dale Scott on Aug. 28,1949, in Marshalltown. They moved to Roswell in 1962.

She was preceded in death by her parents John and Nancy Fouts; husband Kenneth Scott; son Gregory Scott; and granddaughter April Rose Scott.

Survivors include two sons, Steven Scott and his wife Cindy, of Lampasas, Texas, and Stan Scott and his wife Jeanette, of Bloomington, Minn.; a daughter Gloria Montgomery and her husband Bill, of Roswell; and a daughter -in-law Nancy Scott, of Albuquerque.

and Ethan Montgomery, of Socorro.

Bonnie raised her children with a kind but firm hand. She was a devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. There was nothing that she loved better than having her children visit. There were freshly made chocolate chip cookies in the cookie jar and a box of toys in the closet. In the past few years, she wasn’t able to cook so she kept ice cream bars in her freezer for her grandkids.

Bonnie was a Cub Scout leader for her sons. When she decided to go to work for the Roswell Independent School District, she was a teacher’s aide. She was passionate about helping the children do the best that they could in school.

Bonnie was a member of First Christian Church. Her faith was an example to all of us. She was a member of the Mary Martha and Guild women’s groups. She participated in Chaves County Extension Clubs.

Bernard Rondestvedt

Graveside services are scheduled for 11 a.m., Friday, Oct. 19, 2012, at South Park Cemetery for Bernard John Rondestvedt, 70, also called John or Ron by many, who passed on to be with his Heavenly Father, Oct. 13, 2012, at

Cambodia’s former King Norodom Sihanouk dies at 89 PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — He was many things to the Cambodia he helped navigate through half a century of war and genocide — revered independence hero, ruthless monarch and prime minister, communist collaborator, eccentric playboy, avid filmmaker.

Most of all, perhaps, Cambodia’s former King Norodom Sihanouk was a cunning political survivor who reinvented himself repeatedly throughout his often flamboyant life.

Sihanouk died Monday at age 89 of a heart attack in Beijing, where he had been receiving medical treatment since January for multiple ailments.

First crowned king by the French in 1941 at the age of 18, Sihanouk saw his Southeast Asian nation transformed from colony to kingdom, from U.S.-backed regime to U.S. bombing zone, from Khmer Rouge killing field to what it remains today — a fragile experiment in democracy.

He ruled as a feudalstyle absolute monarch, but called himself a democrat. He was a man who sang love songs at

elaborate state dinners, brought his French poodle to peace talks, and charmed foreign dignitaries such as Jacqueline Kennedy.

He also painted, fielded a palace soccer team, composed music and led his own jazz band. His appetite extended to fast cars, food and women.

He married at least five times — some say six — and fathered 14 children.

When the murderous Khmer Rouge seized power in the 1970s, he was reviled as their collaborator. Yet he himself ended up as their prisoner and lost five of his children to the regime.

Later, in the 1990s — after a U.N.-brokered deal to end Cambodia’s long civil war — he recast himself as a peacemaker and constitutional monarch.

In 2004, Sihanouk abdicated the throne, citing his poor health. The move paved the way for his son Norodom Sihamoni to take his place.

In 1955, Sihanouk stepped down from the throne, organized a mass political party and went on to hold various positions as head of government and state.

his home in Roswell. He was born June 6, 1942, in Cooperstown, N.D., to Bernard John Rondestvedt and Henrietta R. Sykes.

Later Bernard married Virginia Mae Everson and Bernard and Virginia were parents to the raising of John, as he was called growing up in and around Dazey, N.D. Ron grew up working with his dad in the Dazey garage, where he learned to work hard and how to fix things. Some of his fondest memories as a kid were the many family get-togethers and going to the creek on the Everson farm. He loved to reminisce about the fun he and his uncles, cousins and friends had playing around Dazey.

He attended various schools in North Dakota.

He joined the Air Force in July 1960, and served in the 366th OMS (TAC) in Chaumont AF, France and Sculthrope AFB, England.

He was an aircraft maintenance tech on F84F and B66B. In 1964, his tactical wing was transferred to Holloman AFB. While stationed at Holloman, he met and married Rhoda Dee Thompson of Alamogordo, on July 26,1964. Together they had three sons, Timothy Dean born June 16,1966, Shon Dixon born May 17,1968, and Zachary Edwin born May 5,1982.

After discharge from the Air Force, Ron continued his education at the Jetma Engineering Institute in Dallas. Here he learned to become a machinist and tool and dye maker. In 1971, Ron took employment in the Denver area.

He worked for Ball Aerospace and became supervisor of the machine shop.

Two of his many achievements while at Ball Aerospace were his part in building several of the space telescopes that have been launched by NASA. He received a medallion from astronauts John Young and Bob Crippen for

appreciation of his contribution in building the actuators in the cargo bay of the space shuttle Columbia the first manned orbital flight. Ron also invented and received patents for various shock absorbent mounting arrangements for disk drives and other components when he worked in the disk drive industry.

In May 1993, Ron opened his own machine shop Cam Tech Machine and Tool. It was here that he was able to train all three of his sons in the machinist field.

In 2003, Ron retired and moved to Amarillo, where he and Rhoda studied the Hebrew roots of the Christian faith at Mayim Hayim Hebraic Learning Center.

Here Ron became quite the student of Hebrew and the Bible from the Hebrew writings. Ron served others in their study of the Hebrew roots of the Bible by burning DVDs, CDs or securing printed material for them.

He loved to help others search the scriptures. He also attended Beod Moed Hebraic Learning Center in Roswell.

In 2009, Ron and Rhoda moved to Roswell to help in the care of his mother-inlaw Lois Thompson until her passing.

Ron loved camping, fishing and boating with his boys and grandchildren. He enjoyed gardening and could make the best salsa.

He could make and fix just about anything you need.

He loved to take long rambling road trips just to go see what you could see.

The highlight for Ron, this summer, was when all his brothers traveled from North Dakota to Roswell to celebrate his 70th birthday with him. Ron was very excited that he was soon to have his first great-granddaughter Charley, by Ronee and Tyler Smith of Loveland, Colo.

Ron is survived by his wife Rhoda, of Roswell; sons, Timothy Dean Rondestvedt and wife Becky, and Shon Dixon Ron-

Reba Rae Smith Jones

ALAMOGORDO — Reba Rae Smith Jones was born on May 30, 1956, to James Raymon and Vada Smith, of Roswell. Reba was called home to be with her loved ones on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012, in Alamogordo, after 56 years of life on Earth.

Reba grew up with her twin sister Rena, and her older sister Susan, in Roswell. She graduated from Goddard High in 1974 and worked as a nurse’s aide for several years after

Reba was a gifted freelance photographer, and could often be found behind a camera, taking beautiful candid photos of her family, friends, and pets. Reba’s compassion and kindness didn’t just stop with people; she was also known for her love of animals. She frequently rescued stray animals, and had a special love of dogs.

She loved nature, and hiked trails with her dogs all over New Mexico. She enjoyed camping, fishing, arts and crafts, and traveling. Reba had a generous and loving heart, striking blue eyes, an infectious laugh, and will be greatly missed.

Reba is survived by her husband William Jones; of Alamogordo; her son Quentin Nichols, of Bristow, Va., and his wife Kelly; and her four grandchildren, Ethan, Brooke, Jonah, and Kayla. She was preceded in death by her father James Raymon Smith and her mother Vada Couch Smith.

EAGLES FIRE DC JUAN CASTILLO

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Consecutive blown fourthquarter leads have cost Juan Castillo his job as the Philadelphia Eagles’ defensive coordinator.

Castillo was fired Tuesday and replaced by secondary coach Todd Bowles.

Coach Andy Reid dismissed his longtime assistant who was surprisingly switched to defense after 13 seasons coaching the offensive linemen. Castillo was with the Eagles for 18 years, longer than any coach in franchise history.

“We’re six games into the season and average isn’t good enough,” Reid said in a statement. “I know the potential of our team and insist on maximizing it.”

Castillo has been under the microscope in Philadelphia, with nearly every move he’s made being scrutinized intensely.

He was promoted to defensive coordinator after a long search and with new defensive line coach Jim Washburn already in place running a wide-nine scheme.

“I put Juan in this position,” Reid said at a press conference Tuesday at the team headquarters. “It didn’t work out. I take full responsibility for putting him in that situation.”

The Eagles (3-3) are on a bye this week. They wasted a 10-point lead with 5:18 remaining and lost 26-23 in overtime to Detroit after allowing Pittsburgh to rally for a winning field goal as time expired last week.

Castillo joined the Eagles in 1995 as an offensive assistant under coach Ray Rhodes. He was promoted to tight ends coach in 1997, and then offensive line coach in 1998. Last season, his defense rallied late, and helped Philadelphia win its final four games. It was too late to make the playoffs, as the Eagles finished 8-8, but combined with a 2-0 start to this season, his defense had contributed to six straight wins before the deficiencies started to surface again.

“I have to do what I think is right whether it’s with public opinion,” Reid said, “or against public opinion.”

Bowles was 2-1 as the interim head coach for Miami last season. The former Temple star is in his 13th season as an assistant.

He began his NFL coaching career with the New York Jets in 2000 as a secondary coach, spent four years in Cleveland, four in Dallas and three in Miami.

Local Briefs Rockets win district tilt with Artesia AR TESIA — Goddard opened the District 4-4A calendar on Tuesday with a four-set victory over two-time defending state champion Artesia at the Bulldog Pit. Artesia won the first set 2522, but Goddard answered by winning the next three sets 25-22, 25-20 and 25-20 to get the win.

“We started out pretty slow, but, once we got going in the second set, it was good,” said Rocket coach Sheri Gibson about her team’s play. “Overall, we played well. We played well as a team and pulled it off.

“It felt good (to beat the defending state champions).

Even though they aren’t the same team, they always have some good hitters. It felt good, especially since it was at their place.”

The Rockets moved to 13-4

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander and Detroit’s stellar starters are one win from the World Series.

Verlander took a shutout into the ninth inning and the Tigers held on to beat the New York Yankees 2-1 Tuesday night for a 3-0 lead in the AL championship series.

Phil Coke gave up consecutive singles with two outs in the ninth before striking out postseason star Raul Ibanez for his second save in two games. Detroit can complete a sweep and earn its second pennant in seven years Wednesday night when Max Scherzer pitches against Yankees ace CC Sabathia.

“We put ourselves in a decent position, but that’s all we have done,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.

Verlander allowed only a pair of singles by Ichiro Suzuki and a leadoff homer by Eduardo Nunez in the ninth. Delmon Young hit a solo home run for the T igers, and Miguel Cabrera had an RBI double.

Yankees starter Phil Hughes was lifted in the fourth because of a stiff back, and manager Joe Girardi’s lineup shuffle — Alex Rodriguez was benched again — failed to snap New York out of its untimely hitting funk.

“There were some good at-bats tonight. The ball was not carrying tremendously well tonight, we know

Browns sale to Haslam approved; Holmgren to leave

CHICAGO (AP) — Mike Holmgren won’t be finishing the job he went to do in Cleveland.

New Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam III said Tuesday that Holmgren was out as team president, although the Super Bowl-winning coach will remain with the franchise to help in the transition.

Haslam was introduced as the Browns’ new boss after the 32 NFL owners unanimously approved his $1 billion purchase of the team from Randy Lerner. Moments later, Haslam announced that former Eagles President Joe Banner would become chief executive officer. The move takes effect Oct. 25 when the sale is concluded.

Haslam plans no other personnel changes before 2013, meaning the jobs of coach Pat Shurmur and his staff and general manager Tom Heckert appear safe. “I told Pat on Saturday night that this was the only personnel move until the end of the season,� Haslam said, “But I am not at all saying we’ll make changes at the end of the season.�

The Browns were the last team to win a game this year, beating Cincinnati on Sunday after five losses. They are tied with Kansas City for the worst record in the league.

The 57-year-old Haslam, who built his fortune with Pilot Flying J truck stops, has been a minority owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and is in the process of divesting that stock.

He said Holmgren and Banner will “work together until the end of the season to transition in a seamless fashion.� “He has been and still is committed to doing everything he can to make the Cleveland Browns a winning football team,�

Haslam said of Holmgren, whose Browns are 10-28 since he was hired by Lerner to run football operations in 2010.

Haslam spoke at length with Holmgren in

Roswell Daily Record the 2 1⠄2 months since he agreed to purchase the Browns. They met Sunday to work out the logistics of the transition. “Mike was brought in to do a certain role and I don’t think he wanted a different role,�

Haslam said.

Holmgren led the Green Bay Packers to the 1996 NFL championship and lost in the Super Bowl the next year to Denver. He left the Packers in 1999 to become coach and general manager in Seattle. Six years later, the Seahawks won the AFC title — Holmgren had given up much of his personnel duties by then to concentrate on coaching — and fell to Pittsburgh in the Super Bowl.

His time in Cleveland has been far from successful, though. Indeed, Haslam has said his mission is to bring winning football back to Cleveland; the Browns have made the playoffs once since returning to the NFL in 1999. “I would never stand here and say we need to have ‘X’ number of wins, but we want to see a positive direction,� Haslam said. “I think we want to see continued improvement and we want to see them play hard.�

Banner left the Eagles in June. He had been with them since 1994 and was team president when he resigned. “His track record in Philadelphia has been impressive,� Haslam said. “Joe is in charge of day-to-day operations of the co mpany. Any big decisions, we will be involved in. Football (operations) will report to Joe.�

The late Al Lerner, Randy’s father, purchased the franchise from the NFL in 1998 for $530 million after the original Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996 and became the Ravens. The elder Lerner died in 2002.

The Browns made the playoffs in 2002 and lost to Pittsburgh in the first round.

They’ve had only two winning records in 13 seasons.

Before the sale was approved, the owners amended an anti-tampering resolution.

Three days before a player becomes a free agent, teams will be permitted to contact the player’s agent and begin contract negotiations. But a contract can’t be completed until after free agency begins, and no direct contact is allowed with the player before his contract expires — except by his current team.

NHL

Bettman, NHL make new offer in hope of full season

TORONTO (AP) — The stalled talks between the NHL and the players’ association finally got a jumpstart.

After watching 34 days pass without a new proposal being offered from either side in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement, Commissioner Gary Bettman made a new offer to the NHLPA that proposes a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenue and a full 82-game season starting Nov. 2.

As talks resumed for the first time since last week between the league and the union, Bettman proudly announced the offer, which is crafted for — if nothing else — a quick response from the head of the players’ association, Donald Fehr, followed by some serious negotiations either here or in New York. “It was done,� Bettman said, “in the spirit of getting a deal done.�

Fehr told reporters that the proposal is for six years. Bettman did not confirm that number. “Our hope,� he said, “after we review this is that there will be a feeling on the players’ side that this will be a proposal from which we can negotiate and try and reach a conclusion.�

When asked if the new proposal was an improvement over previous offers made by the NHL, Fehr said: “In some respects I think it is. In other respects, I’m not sure. We have to look at it.�

The NHL locked out its players on Sept.

15, and the regular season was scheduled to begin on Oct. 11. A Nov. 2 start date would extend the season well into June, but would preserve some of the marquee events, such as the Jan. 1 Winter Classic in Michigan. “I don’t want to get into the substance other than to say we believe that this was a fair offer for a long-term deal, and it’s one that we hope gets a positive reaction,� Bettman said. “We have about nine or ten days to get this all put to bed, signed, sealed and delivered, in order for this offer to be effective and for us to move forward.�

Bettman said the long-term deal takes steps to guarantee the players will get full value from their existing deals. And in order to pull off the logistics of the schedule, each team would have one additional game every five weeks in order to get a full season in. “Gary indicated to me and I assume he indicated to you that they would like to get a full 82-game season in,� Fehr said. “We, of course, share that view and would like to get

a full 82-game season in. But, we are not in a position to make any comments about it beyond that at this point.�

Roswell 3, Carlsbad 0 CARLSBAD — Roswell’s final tune-up before district play resulted in a threeset sweep of Carlsbad at the Cave.

The Coyotes won the first set 25-14, the second set 25-21 and the third set 25-19 to get the win.

“We played all right. It was kind of hard for us to get a really good rhythm (because of the Dig Pink events between sets), but the kids played through it,” said Coyote coach Heather Baca. “We’re just gearing up and getting ready for district play on Thursday.”

Georgia Lynn Eldridge led the Coyotes (11-4) with 12 kills. Emily EllingtonRomero added five blocks, Natasha Chavez had four aces, Katelyn Jordan had 14 assists and Ali Castro had 11 digs.

The Bobcats won 25-15, 25-10, 2518.

“I thought it was a little slower paced game, but, overall, we didn’t play bad,” said Bobcat coach Monica Morales. “We played pretty well, it was just a little slower paced than I would have liked.”

Taylor Hamill led the Bobcats (8-5, 10 District 7-1A) with seven kills.

Shayanna Eubanks added 10 assists.

Lake Arthur 3, Vaughn 2 VAUGHN — The Panthers climbed to above .500 in District 3-B play on Tuesday with a come-from-behind, five-set win over Vaughn.

The Eagles won the first two sets 2523 and 25-12, but the Panthers rallied to win the final three sets 25-21, 27-25 and 15-9.

“We had a slow start. The first two sets were nerve-racking,” said Lake Arthur coach Rebecca Villalva. “Once we decided to play, we played well. We played really, really well.

“I just finally told them that they are going to have to want it more than I do and they went into the third set realizing that.”

Cristina Caro led the Panthers (5-9, 32) with five kills and two blocks. Lilly McNeil had five kills and Mayra Davila had two kills.

that,” Girardi said. “But I think he ended up with three strikeouts. So our guys put the ball in play and tried to get on base, but, you know, when you face Verlander, you know what you’re up against.”

Seeking their first World Series title since 1984, the Tigers were on a historic pitching run even before their ace took the mound Tuesday. With the exception of a four -run ninth inning against Detroit closer Jose Valverde in Game 1, New York had been shut out for the entire series.

Nunez’s homer snapped a streak of 37 innings by Detroit starters without allowing an earned run, the longest in a single postseason in the live-ball era.

Verlander fell just short of a second straight shutout after stopping the Oakland Athletics in the decisive fifth game of the division series. He struck out only three but kept New York off the scoreboard until the homer to left field by Nunez, the first run allowed by the

aces from Coronado in the first five points. The Warriors built a 19-3 lead through the first 22 points, with 10 of their 19 coming via aces.

VCA won five of seven points late in the set to make it 21-8, but the Warriors sided out on the next point and Menagh served the set out with three straight aces.

In the second set, Valley built a 6-3 lead early, but a run of 10 straight — four by ace — put the Warriors in the lead for good.

Wednesday, October 17, 2012 powerful right-hander since he gave up a leadoff homer to Coco Crisp in Game 1 of the ALDS. Verlander got Brett Gardner on a tapper before he was lifted after 132 pitches, one shy of his career high set in Game 5 of last year’s ALCS against Texas.

“Normally I guess you don’t take Secretariat out in the final furlong, but that was pretty much it for him,” Leyland said.

Coke came in and allowed two-out hits to Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano, with the latter snapping a drought of 29 at-bats without a hit. With an anxious Verlander pacing in the dugout and rubbing the bald head of a teammate, Ibanez — who hit tying and winning homers in the same game in the ALDS against Baltimore and tied Game 1 of this series with a homer in the ninth — struck out swinging at a breaking ball to end it.

“I’ve got faith in our bullpen. Coke did a great job in New York. He’s done a great job for us all year, so I was OK with it,” Verlander said. “And I was up mire’s kill gave the Warriors a side out and brought Menagh back to the service line.

She delivered an ace on her first serve, got help on her second serve with a Longmire kill and then served up five straight aces for a 23-10 Warrior lead.

Valley sided out on a service error, but Gateway won the final two points on a Longmire kill and a Coronado ace.

The third set again started with a Coronado ace before Valley built a 6-5 advantage. A Lion service error and three straight aces from Hammonds put Gateway on top for good at 9-6.

around 130 pitches or so, so I don’t think they’re just going to leave me out there and sacrifice the rest of the postseason just for this game, especially when Coke’s been throwing the ball extremely well.”

The game ended with Nick Swisher on deck to pinch-hit, not Rodriguez.

Verlander, the reigning AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner, came within three outs of becoming the first pitcher in 24 years to throw consecutive shutouts in the postseason, according to STATS LLC. Orel Hershiser did it for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1988, blanking the New York Mets in Game 7 of the NL championship series and the Oakland Athletics in Game 2 of the World Series.

Hughes matched Verlander in a scoreless duel until Young led off the Detroit fourth with a line drive over the wall in left field. It was his seventh homer in the last two postseasons — he’s already the Tigers’ career leader in that department.

Hughes allowed a run and three hits in three-plus innings. He walked three and struck out one. six-point service game that included three aces.

Valley battled, though, and closed to within five at 22-17.

Gateway sided out on a Shay Nelson kill and Hammonds, fittingly, closed things out with a pair of aces.

Valley Christian coach Melissa Verciglio was upbeat despite the loss.

“I’m really happy with (the girls’) play tonight,” she said. “Our success is not reflected on the scoreboard. How well they’re moving the ball and how well they’re moving into their positions, it makes me very, very happy.”

The Lions fell to 1-7 overall and 0-6 in district play with the loss. kjkeller@rdrnews.com

means exposing everyone involved to STDs. My husband is a smart man, but for some reason he seems to think this will end well. I worry about his son becoming a father too soon and missing out on his full potential. My husband and his ex have dealt with this by trying to ignore it, and for the most part I haven’t involved myself.

But the more I think about it, the more I see the danger of Justin’s life being changed forever because his parents don’t want to make him unhappy for a minute.

I love my husband and stepson. Allowing this to continue isn’t the right path for anyone.

Am I overreacting? If not, what can I do that won’t cause a huge blowup with my husband?

ALARMED IN CHICAGO

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: My 15-year -old stepson, “Justin,” doesn’t drink or do drugs. For the most part, he stays out of trouble. The problem is, he has been caught for the third time having unprotected sex.

My anger isn’t at Justin so much as at his parents, obviously his father. Justin has lied repeatedly about this. His father lets him get away with many things, for the most part minor. But this is different. A 15-year -old boy can’t take care of a baby, and having sex with multiple partners

DEAR ALARMED: You’re not overreacting. Your husband is doing his son no favors by enabling his irresponsible behavior instead of asserting himself and acting like a parent.

Jumble

COMICS

Justin may think that fathering a child will make him a “real man.”

But unless your husband can get through to him that REAL men take care of themselves and their partners, and REAL men don’t risk bringing children into the world they can’t take care of, then face it: He’s letting his son play baby roulette, and it’s only a matter of time until he’ll be a grandpa. #####

DEAR ABBY: My son has a wonderful girlfriend, “Michelle.” They live with my ex-husband and visit my husband, “Daryl,” and me twice a month and on special occasions.

Michelle is sweet, caring, smart and funny. The problem is, she doesn’t wear a bra. Ever.

Relatives have commented about it to us at family gatherings because she’s not flat-chested. We already know. It’s obvious.

DEAR SEES A NEED: Because people are talking, it would be a kindness to say something to Michelle — but DELICATELY, so she doesn’t think you are criticizing her. If you have a good relationship with her, invite her to join you for lunch and, while you’re on the subject of the last gathering, mention that some of the relatives noticed her bralessness. Then tell her that you need to go lingerie shopping and invite her along. Ask her to help you pick out a few pretty things for yourself, and then offer to treat her to some things she likes. She just may take you up on it.

Kay, although many people store canned foods in a garage, it is NOT SAFE to store cans in the garage, over a stove, under a sink, in a basement or in an outside shed.

The United States Department of Agriculture states that canned foods should be stored in a cool, dry place with no extremes of toohigh or too-low (freezing) temperatures. Any drastic changes in temperature can affect the can and the food itself. Try to keep all canned foods at or below 70 degrees F. Heloise

Dear Readers: Fall is a season with tons of fun activities for you and your family.

But pumpkin carving, while it’s a classic, isn’t always safe.

Gut the pumpkin while the kids pick out a few metal cookie cutters. Allow them to press the cookie cutter into the pumpkin. Then, using a rubber mallet, tap until it is completely pressed in. Leaving the cookie cutter there, carve around it with a knife, removing the metal and the unwanted piece of pumpkin together. You can continue adding character to your pumpkin until your family is happy. Add a battery-operated tea light and enjoy!

Yes, just mix 3 parts cold water with 1 part tomato paste (you will want to make adjustments for your own taste). Place the ingredients in a blender until smooth, then add salt and pepper to taste.

Once you have the base to your liking, try adding other vegetables or your favorite salsa. Be creative.

This is very inexpensive to make, but you can get some terrific flavors by adding different ingredients that you enjoy.

Marvel at the Maple Tree Do you love pouring syrup over your pancakes? Are leaves turning bright colors in your neighborhood?

There’s a good chance that the syrup and the bright fall colors all come from maple trees.

The Mini Page talked with the chief of forestry in Vermont to learn more about this wonderful tree.

Autumn glow Eastern North America and western Asia are the only places in the world where the native trees change to the full rainbow of reds, oranges and yellows in the fall. Both these areas have many maple trees.

Nature’s changing colors

The yellow and red hues of fall are actually the true colors of the leaves.

In the summer, leaves contain a substance called chlorophyll (KLORuh-fil). This turns the leaves green, which covers the actual leaf colors.

In the fall, cooler temperatures signal the tree to stop producing chlorophyll. All the hidden colors pop out.

Chlorophyll helps shield the leaf from sun damage. But even more important, it helps the tree capture sunlight. Plants use sunlight to create food. This process is called photosynthesis (foe-toe-SIN-the-sis).

Chlorophyll is like an engine that uses sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugars the plant can eat. It produces oxygen as a waste product. Chlorophyll turns leaves into little factories that produce sugar and oxygen.

In the fall, maple trees glow with the brightest colors of all trees.

Summers with warm days and cooler nights produce the brightest fall colors.

Sometimes there are even more spectacular autumns when the summers have been dry. When there is little rain, fungi, or mildew-like organisms, don’t grow as much, so they don’t suck as much moisture from the trees.

Trees that are under stress from drought or insects sometimes change colors earlier in the fall. If conditions are really bad, they might go straight from green to brown, without changing to the reds and yellows.

The brightest reds appear in the red maple, and not just in the fall. It always has some red on it — either red buds, flowers, leaf stems or leaves.

Helicopter seeds All maple trees have papery wings attached to their seeds, which help them travel to new ground each fall.

They are often called “helicopter seeds� because they spin in the wind.

Sweet and Sappy Almost all maple syrup and maple sugar comes from the sugar maple tree.

Its sap has more than twice as much sugar as any other kind of maple.

Some other types of trees have sugary sap too. For example, people sometimes tap birch trees and make beer out of the sap. But no tree has sap as sweet as the sugar maple.

The yellow and orange hues in the maple tree come from carotene, the same material that turns carrots and corn orange or yellow.

Spring signals

The sugar maple grows naturally only in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. When planted anywhere else, it almost never Canadian flag flowers.

The maple tree is so important to Canada that its leaf is the symbol of that country.

Because sugar maples live for a long time, they can produce a lot of sap during their lives. Some maple trees have been tapped for 100 years and are still producing sap.

Around March, when the snow starts melting, tree roots warm up.

This signals the trees that it is time to start growing leaves. Trees need to move the food stored in their roots up to the leaf buds so leaves can grow. This food is the sugary sap.

During the day, sap rises, and buds open up. At night, when it turns cold again, the sap doesn’t run.

Sap flows for about six weeks.

However, there might be only five or six times during those weeks when the sap is actually dripping from the holes made in the tree. These times are called sap runs. A sap run might last a few hours or a few days. from The Mini Page Š 2012 Universal Uclick

Cooking Up a Sugary Treat

Sap harvesters are careful to put only two taps at a time in a trunk. They only tap trees that are at least a foot wide.

This way, they don’t take so much of the tree’s food that the tree is harmed. A woody area where maple syrup is tapped is called a sugarbush.

In the past, farmers poured buckets of sap into tanks on horse-drawn sleighs for delivery to the sugarshack.

At the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vt., they still harvest sap that way because skiers would run into plastic tubing. (The lodge is run by the Trapp family made famous in “The Sound of Music.�)

From sap to syrup

Just right

When sap first comes out of the tree, it is kind of like sugar water. It is not the thick syrup we are used to.

In the sugarshack, farmers boil the syrup night and day until it turns the right thickness and flavor.

It takes about 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup.

The first sap of spring turns into a light-colored syrup. Later in the season, as trees produce more sap, the syrup becomes darker. The darkest syrup has the strongest maple flavor.

The process of tapping the sap and turning it into maple sugar or syrup is called sugaring. In Vermont during the first run of the year, harvesters gather a tiny bit of sap and take it to the oldest person in town. The harvest doesn’t begin until that person says the sap is good.

If a spring is too warm, trees bud out early. In very warm springs, syrup tastes more like leaves than sugary sap. The best conditions are when nights are below freezing, with days of about 40 degrees.

Maple syrup producers are worried that if the climate keeps getting warmer, sugar maples may no longer thrive in the United States.

Today, Vermont produces more maple syrup than any other state ˆ ABOUT GALLONS A YEAR Quebec province in Canada produces more maple syrup than the United States and the rest of Canada combined, ABOUT MILLION gallons a year.

Native Americans caught maple tree sap in clay bowls, then cooked it until the water boiled away. This left hard blocks of maple sugar that they could carry as they traveled. It was a good source of energy.

Native Americans taught European settlers how to make maple sugar. This became an important source of income and food for the colonists.

To tap maple sap, people carve or drill shallow holes into the tree trunk. Today, people insert metal or plastic taps in the holes to allow the sap to keep flowing.

Until about 20 years ago, most harvesters gathered the sap in buckets hung over the taps. Most modern producers move the sap through plastic pipes running from the tap to the processing building, called a sugarshack or sugarhouse.

US homebuilder con- Airline executives urge airport security overhaul fidence at 6-year high

Confidence among U.S. homebuilders is at its highest level in six years in October, reflecting improved optimism over the strengthening housing market this year and a pickup in visits by prospective buyers to builders’ communities.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Confidence among U.S. homebuilders remains at its highest level in six years, reflecting improved optimism over the strengthening housing market this year and a pickup in visits by prospective buyers to builders’ communities.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index released Tuesday rose to 41 this month, up from 40 in September. That’s the highest reading since June 2006, just before the housing bubble burst.

Any reading below 50 indicates negative sentiment about the housing market. The index hasn’t been above 50 since April 2006, the peak of the housing boom.

The gauge of current sales and builders’ outlook on sales over the next six remained months unchanged from September’s reading. But a measure of traffic by prospective buyers rose 5 points to 35, the highest level since April 2006.

The survey is based on responses from 400 builders. It has been trending higher since last October, when the reading stood at 17. The index sank to 8, its lowest point dating back to 1985, in January 2008.

been improving this year, and the latest builder sentiment index reflects that, said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.

Recent housing data continue to point to signs that the housing market is making a sustained comeback.

Sales of new homes remained near a two-year high in August. And home prices rose nationwide in July compared with a year earlier, according to the Standard & Poor’s/CaseShiller index. That was the second straight year-overyear gain.

Construction of singlefamily homes rose in August to the fastest annual rate in more than two years.

Home sales have been boosted by ultra-low mortgage rates. A limited supply of homes for sale also has helped drive prices up.

Though new homes represent less than 20 percent of the housing sales market, they have an outsize impact on the economy.

Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to the NAHB’s data.

mation with the government get to keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on at security. The program will be expanded to 35 airports by the end of the year.

The additional personal information would most likely be handed over voluntarily to the government by passengers who see the benefit of the time savings.

John S. Pistole, head of the TSA, said the TSA would ideally like to analyze passengers’ travel history and patterns but currently lacks Congressional authority to do so. Any such changes would occur after the election, at the earliest, he said.

“I applaud the TSA. I never thought I would say it because they are the worst part of travel,” said

Montie Brewer, former CEO of Air Canada.

James E. Bennett, who used to head the Washington Airport Authority and is now CEO of the Abu Dhabi Airports Co., said that if the current immigration and security procedures remain in place as more and more passengers take to the skies, airports will run out of terminal space to hold all the lines.

Many airports have already undergone multimillion dollar retrofits to house additional security and there isn’t additional room left.

The ultimate challenge may not be developing the technology but having multiple nations agree on uniform procedures.

Coca-Cola’s profit up even as sales disappoint NEW YORK (AP) — The Coca-Cola Co. has a formula for growth in the volatile economic climate: sell more of its drinks in emerging markets and evolve its stable of products at home, where concerns over sugary drinks are intensifying.

The world’s biggest beverage maker, which makes Sprite, Fanta and Dasani water, said the strategy helped it sell more of its drinks in every region during the third quarter, with global sales volume up 4 percent. But the Atlantabased company was nevertheless hit by unfavorable currency exchange rates as well as pressures to keep price hikes in check, particularly in economically hard-hit regions in Asia and Europe.

Total revenue rose just 1 percent as a result, which was shy of Wall Street expectations.

In its flagship North American market, CocaCola has been relying on a shifting mix of drinks in response to changing con-

future” where passengers can race through without stopping, removing clothing, or taking liquids and laptops out of bags.

While a lot of work has to be done to get numerous countries and regulators on board, Tyler is optimistic that today’s “one-size-fits all approach to screening” can be replaced with a system based on individual passenger risk. The industry hopes to test the concept at a handful of airports starting late 2014.

The example cited by Tyler and airline executives of what is working: the U.S. Transportation and Security Administration’s relatively new PreCheck program.

sumer tastes and criticism over the role sugary drinks play in fueling obesity rates.

The 2 percent increase in sales volume in the region was driven by what CocaCola refers to as its “still beverages,” such as Powerade sports drinks and Fuze teas. Coke Zero, which was introduced in 2005 as a better-tasting alternative to traditional diet sodas, saw growth of 9 percent. But overall sales volume of its sodas in the region was flat from a year ago.

In Europe, volume rose 1 percent but revenue declined 8 percent because of unfavorable currency exchange rates and a less profitable mix of products.

Companies that do a lot of their business overseas are hurt when the dollar is strong because sales in other countries’ currencies translate into fewer dollars back home.

As growth slows in developed markets, countries such as India have become a greater focus for CocaCola. During the quarter,

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Airport security needs to undergo a radical overhaul or else passengers will become further disgruntled, lines will grow and terminals will be overwhelmed, airline executives said Tuesday at a global aviation conference.

“We simply can’t cope with the expected volume of passengers with the way things are today,” said Tony Tyler, director general and CEO of the International Air Transport Association, the airlines’ trade group.

Tyler spoke at an airlines conference held in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

He predicted that by 2020, governments will be using a “checkpoint of the

The Coca-Cola Co. says its net income rose 4 percent in the third quarter, as the world's biggest beverage maker expanded in emerging markets and relied more heavily on sports drinks and teas for growth at home. sales volume in the country rose 15 percent with the Coca-Cola brand up 34 percent.

Coca-Cola announced this summer that it would accelerate investment in the country over the next eight years.

Emerging markets such as India represent far greater growth potential for CocaCola. The company estimates that per capita consumption of its drinks in the country is 12 servings

CEO Muhtar Kent said that the results for the quarter show the company has been able to “crack the calculus for growth” even in the tough economy.

“We have done this by consistently investing in our system and our brands to ensure that our global portfolio is more relevant and healthier today than it has ever been,” he said.
