Attack on NATO convoy kills 17 in Afghanistan KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a vehicle loaded with explosives into an armored NATO bus Saturday on a busy thoroughfare in Kabul, killing 17 people, including a dozen Americans, in the deadliest strike against the U.S.-led coalition in the Afghan capital since the war began.

The blast occurred on the same day that a man wearing an Afghan army uni-

form killed three Australian soldiers and an Afghan interpreter in the south — attacks that show the resiliency of the insurgency and are likely to raise new doubts about the unpopular 10-year-old war and the Western strategy of trying to talk peace with the Taliban.

A spokesman for the fundamentalist Islamic movement, which was ousted in the 2001 invasion for its

affiliation with al-Qaida, claimed responsibility for the Kabul attack, saying the bomber had used 1,540 pounds (700 kilograms) of explosives.

The Taliban and related groups have staged more than a dozen major attacks in Kabul this year, including seven since June, in an apparent campaign to weaken confidence in the Afghan government as it prepares to take over its

own security ahead of a 2014 deadline for the U.S. and other NATO countries to withdraw their troops or move them into support roles.

Underscoring the difficulties ahead, the brazen assault occurred just hours after top Afghan and Wester n of ficials met in the heart of Kabul to discuss the second phase of shifting security responsibilities to Afghan forces in all or

HOMEWOOD, Ala. (AP) — Herman Cain’s rise in the polls appears to be no fluke.

Unlike some other Republican presidential contenders who have flamed out fast after auditioning as the conservative antidote to Mitt Romney, Cain is still riding high atop public opinion surveys.

WASHINGTON (AP) — On the defensive over a half-billion-dollar loan to a now-bankrupt solar company, the White House on Friday ordered an independent review of similar loans made by the Energy Department, its latest response to rising criticism over Solyndra Inc. The announcement came as House Republicans prepared for a possible vote next week to subpoena White House documents related to the defunct California company.

White House officials said the review would assess the health of more than two dozen other renewable energy loans and loan guarantees made by the Energy Department program that supported Solyndra. Congressional Republicans have been investigating the company’s bankruptcy amid embarrassing revelations that federal officials were warned it had problems but nonetheless continued to support it, and sent President Barack Obama to visit the company and praise it publicly.

“Today we are directing that an independent analysis be conducted of the current state of the Department of Energy loan portfolio, focusing on future loan monitoring and management,” White

JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Members of the Roswell Chamber of Commerce will soon have a new outlet to display their events and activities for the entire community to view.

For nearly a year, the chamber has been working on a project for a new digital billboard, which will be erected outside of their offices. Kathleen Curtis, of fice manager for the chamber, said the project is within a week of having the sign up.

Xcel Energy was the biggest contributor of funding for the project. Other sponsors include Roswell Regional Hospital, Roswell Hike It and Spike It, Pioneer Bank and Roswell Livestock & Farm Supply.

The chamber put minimal funding into the project, Curtis said, who estimated 99 percent of the funding came from the sponsors.

The sponsors will have their names and logos depicted on the base of the sign. The chamber’s logo will be displayed at the top of the sign.

The digital sign will display any activities chamber members have going on or events the chamber is hosting. The sign will be able to scroll various events through at one time.

According to Curtis, the footer for the sign is in, but the chamber is waiting for the concrete to cure. E & CS Electric will be doing the electric work for the sign. Patton Construction See BILLBOARD, Page A6

United Way continues to set goals for 2011 VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The United Way of Chaves County has higher goals for its 2011 campaign, and soon it will be up to local small businesses to answer the call — literally — to help meet that challenge.

Last year, the UWCC raised $460,000 to help various nonprofits. This year’s goal is $575,000. To

help achieve this 25 percent increase, Perry Toles, co-chairperson of the campaign along with his wife, Sherri, have decided to raise fundraising efforts by 25 percent.

The UWCC has already sent out cards to over 1,300 small businesses.

These should be delivered

Chevrolet turns 100, Desert Sun hosts celebration VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER Chevrolet is tur ning 100, and a daylong celebration at Desert Sun Roswell Inc. Saturday proved that it was not only a type a car — but also an American tradition — that is reaching a major milestone.

J.R. Law, marketing director for the local Desert Sun Chevrolet dealership, said Chevrolet is turning 100 on Nov. 3.

“It’s quite a landmark to have a company that can last 100 years,” he said. “(Chevrolet) has had good times and bad times but it’s still around.”

To mark the occasion, Desert Sun invited owners of classic Chevrolets and spectators alike for a day of music, fun and games.

Law estimated there were about 50 classic cars on the Desert Sun lot. One of the oldest vehicles, he said, was a model from 1918.

The model had plates that described it as a “horseless carriage.”

UWCC will be making phone calls to small businesses from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.

“The United Way, in the past, has always been very good at raising funds,” said Wesley Miller, small business division chair man for this year’s campaign.

“But this is a new technique.”

Miller said about 17,000 Chaves County residents take advantage of the services offered by the 15 nonprofit agencies that are helped by the UWCC. Many may not know that when someone donates to the UWCC, the money can be split among UWCC agencies or designated to a particular agency, Miller said.

Many may also not know that, to make donating easier to the UWCC, the employees of a small business may elect to

from other parts of New Mexico and all the way from Plains, Texas, Law said, to be part of the celebration.

Aside from the car show, Law said there will be incentives throughout November to commemorate the anniversary, including a sale in which 2011 vehicles will be priced $100 over invoice.

Nothing seems to prove how deeply ingrained America’s love affair with cars is as the case of Teri and Bobby Moreno, of Dexter, and their 1963 Chevrolet Impala.

The two-door cream-colored hardtop was Bobby’s first car. He bought the car when he was 17-years-old, and it’s been there through his life’s milestones, such as when he went to college and when he got married.

The Impala has been lent to other family members — but only a select few — for their own wedding day, Teri Moreno said. On such occasions the car is decked out in flowers and other decorations.

“No one else touches it,”

have one hour of their pay every month donated to the organization.

Either way, every penny of the money raised by the UWCC goes toward agencies such as the Roswell Literacy Council, The Salvation Army, or Chaves County J.O.Y Centers, Inc., to name a few.

Miller said there will be six to seven volunteers making phone calls, but he would preferably have closer to 12 individuals donate their time to the cause.

The owner of a small business, Miller said he has helped out with the UWCC in the past. He said there’s an added perk for small business owners, as any donation they make to the UWCC may be tax deductible.

Teri Moreno said with a laugh.

Bobby Moreno does not restore cars as a hobby.

For him, holding on to vintage cars is about holding on to memories. He also owns what used to be his father’s 1954 Chevrolet pickup truck.

A 1957 fuel injected convertible Chevrolet Bel Air, owned by Marilyn and Lonnie Shelton of Pampa, Texas, needed some extra wiggle room at the dealership’s parking lot to display all its trophies and plaques. To curious onlookers, these awards announced they were in the presence of a showstopping vehicle that has won people’s choice, spectator’s pick, first place and best of show on several occasions.

The display also included information on the car’s infamous past. It was the first Chevrolet model to offer fuel injection, but was also the first car to ever be outlawed by NASCAR as its mechanics made it virtually unbeatable.

NM, Wash., women dead in NM rollover crash

RATON (AP) — New Mexico state police say a woman from Roswell, N.M., and one from Washington state died early Friday when the car they were in overturned.

The women were passengers in a car driving on Interstate 25 in northern New Mexico when the driver drifted into the median, overcorrected and caused the sedan to roll.

Killed were 39-year -old Heather Williams of Roswell and 20-year -old Amanda Samuels of Spokane Valley, Wash.

Lt. Tim Johnson says in a news release that 19year -old Alyssa Samuels was driving the car and that alcohol did not appear to be a factor. She suffered non-life threatening injuries, as did another passenger.

Johnson says it appears neither Williams nor Amanda Samuels were wearing seat belts.

“It belonged to our son,” Cooper said of the truck, which came into their possession when he traded it for another car that they had.

School District during the 2009-2010 school year has led the Farmington school board to approve a comprehensive sex education curriculum.

There's also an opt-out policy for parents who don't want their children to participate.

The opt-out policy passed unanimously, while the curriculum portion passed 3-1 Thursday.

District officials tell The Daily Times a letter will be sent to parents giving them the ability to keep their children out of class. Parents will be able to sign the letter and retur n it to school to opt out.

District Nursing Coordinator Cathy McDonald says the district would continue to emphasize abstinence, but also provide other information.

The district will establish a public website to explain the curriculum and opt-out policy.

KRQE-TV reports that police said they believe six more missing women may be connected to the case but they don't know where they are buried.

Deputy Chief Paul Feist said the six women all had ties to drugs and prostitution, just like the 11 women unearthed in early 2009.

He said investigators had been trying to track down a group of about 20 women who all went missing between 2001 and 2006, the time period when police believe the serial killer struck.

Feist said police haven't ruled out that a second burial site might exist.

No arrests have been made.

State police release new info on ghost town death

New Mexico State Police think his killer or killers entered a semi-trailer 100 feet from where Link was killed which the Link family was using for storage.

According to detectives, Link might have been confronting the burglar or burglars when he was shot.

Miscellaneous items, possibly from the trailer, were strewn on the ground outside the trailer.

The Las Cruces SunNews reports that inside the trailer, investigators also found three graf fiti markings made with a marker, which the Link family said had not been there before the killing.

Religion leaders see immigration as ‘God’s call’ Roswell Daily Record

Sunday, October 30, 2011

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A Unitarian church in New Mexico sends supplies to the border for recent deportees. A coalition of church leaders gathers under a statue of colonial America religious figure Anne Hutchinson at the Massachusetts Statehouse to denounce immigration checks by police. A Methodist minister in Texas recites Isaiah 58:6, a passage about loosening the bonds of injustice, as she’s thrown in jail after protesting alongside illegal immigrant students outside a U.S. senator’s office.

As some states pass laws aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration and federal lawmakers balk at passing any immigration reforms, religious leaders from various denominations are jumping into the debate. They’re holding rallies, walking in the Arizona desert, gathering testimonies from immigrants.

The leaders fast, get arrested, and sometimes put their own health on the line in an attempt to draw attention to what they see as inhumane treatment of immigrants and to the laws that target them.

“Some of us feel very strongly about this,” said Rev. Peter Morales, president of the Unitarian Universalist Association, who was arrested last year with immigrant advocates in Arizona for protesting Arizona’s much debated, tough immigration law.

“It’s a humanitarian issue.”

From New York to Utah

and across denominations, religious leaders have used their positions from the pulpit in an effort to influence legislation or rally church members in protest. Earlier this year, for example, more than 20 religious leaders and officials with church-operated charities in Alabama spoke out against a stringent new anti-immigration law that they said would block them from providing food, shelter and transportation to the poor.

Meanwhile, the Rev. Angela Herrera, an assistant minister with the First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque, helped organize her members and other religious leaders in successful rallies against an effort by New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez to overturn a state law allowing illegal immigrants to obtain drivers’ licenses.

And last year, St. Leo’s Catholic Church in Queens, N.Y., sent Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., testimonies from more than 230 people asking for immigration reform. It was one of many Catholic churches around the country that pushed immigration reform.

“Immigration is a God event.” said Rev. Lorenza Andrade Smith, the United Methodist pastor who was arrested outside of the offices of Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson, R-Texas.

Many religious leaders point to immigration stories in the Bible as personal reflections that influence

their calling to push immigration reform.

Christopher C. Hope, the reach-out now director of Pentecostal Tabernacle, a church located between Harvard and MIT in Cambridge, Mass., said he often points out that Jesus and his family had to emigrate to Egypt from Israel to avoid death by King Herod, and God ordered the Israelites that “the stranger who sojour ns with you shall be to you as the native among you.”

There’s also a practical reason for churches to embrace immigrants and immigration refor m: the influx has helped revive some churches.

Bishop Brian Greene, senior pastor of Pentecostal Tabernacle, saw his church grow from less than 50 members to close to 400 in 10 years after the church began recruiting immigrant students and scholars. The sojourner is a hot topic, he said.

Hope said the church helped convince the city of Cambridge and some Massachusetts schools and colleges to publicly support the DREAM act — a stalled federal proposal that would allow illegal immigrant students a pathway to citizenship through college and military service.

But Greene said the church has to be careful since many of his members are legal immigrants who have gone through a long process to stay in the country, and they are now living apart from their fam-

ilies. He doesn’t want to advocate too much on one side of an issue and risk alienating some members.

“It’s important to listen to both sides,” he said.

Still, some advocates for tougher immigration restrictions say that the views of some religious leaders may run counter to those held by members of their congregations. They point to a 2009 Zogby poll that found that 64 percent of mainline Protestants support enforcement measures that encouraged illegal immigrants to return to their native countries, while only 24 percent support conditional legalization.

Smith said that should

not matter.

“Just because you’re in the majority doesn’t make it right,” said Smith, who recently shared her work among immigrants with a group of United Methodists at an Albuquerque conference. “There are laws but there are also laws that are unjust. I’m trying to communicate the love of God. So if I see that a law is not communicating the love of God, I will speak out.”

Greene said the public popularity of any political stance doesn’t mean it triumphs God’s word. “To me, it’s about, what does the word say’?” he said.

During a recent church service at the First Unitarian Church of Albuquerque,

member Kristine Olson, 59, hosted a table with books on the borderlands and collected supplies for immigrants who had recently been deported.

Olson said she and other members were planning a trip to Mexico to personally give hygiene products to the immigrants who had been separated from family. “Our way of worship is through service,” she said.

Smith said it’s important to meet church members where they are in their faith and not push too hard.

“But I am called to do this,” said Smith. “And I have to be obedient to God’s call.”

BANGKOK (AP) — Defenses shielding the center of Thailand’s capital from the nation’s worst floods in nearly 60 years mostly held at critical peak tides Saturday, as the waters began to recede after killing almost 400 people. But the threat to central Bangkok was not over, the prime minister said, and the city’s northern districts remained submerged along with much of the countryside.

hundreds of factories over the last two months.

“We have the good news that the situation in the central region has improved as runoff water gradually decreased,” she said. “I thank people and urge them to be more patient in case this weekend is significant because of the high tide.” residents Bangkok watched the city’s dikes and sandbag barriers warily as the high tide pushing up the Chao Phraya River from the Gulf of Thailand peaked Saturday morning.

It had been described as the greatest test of the capital’s flood defenses since the northern deluge first approached Bangkok more than three weeks ago.

While some water doused streets and shops

along the river, the tides fell short of forecast highs and there was no major breach. Higher than usual tides will continue through Monday, but are predicted to be lower than Saturday’s.

City official Adisak Kantee said the city’s concrete barriers “are ef ficiently protecting Bangkok from deluge,” though he said smaller, private dikes might yet fail.

“The situation is so far under control,” he said.

Yingluck said in her weekly radio address the government was trying to speed the drainage rate and water in the greater Bangkok area should recede within days.

While downtown Bangkok was bone-dry and bustling, areas along the

city’s outskirts saw flooding spread. Seven of Bangkok’s 50 districts — all in the norther n and western outskirts — are heavily inundated. Eight other districts have seen less serious flooding.

In the city’s west, not far from the flooded district of Bang Phlat, workers filled sandbags and stacked them in pickup trucks for delivery to the front lines, while vendors did booming trade in life vests, plastic boats, styrofoam and anything else that floated.

With many roads in the area submerged, traf fic was heavy both heading in and out of the city.

Thousands of Bangkok residents used a special five-day holiday to leave town, wary at confusing warnings about the flood

threat and others concerned about sparse supplies in stores due to weeks of panic buying and flood-related distribution problems.

Bangkok Gov. Sukhumbhand Paribatra highlighted another threat: sanitation.

He ordered boats to collect uncollected garbage in a flooded district where most places were inaccessible by truck.

On Saturday, the Flood Relief Operations Center moved from its base at Don Muang airport after a power transfor mer malfunctioned. The airport, mainly used for domestic flights, closed Tuesday because of flooding on the runways and surrounding streets.

While many in Bangkok will be breathing somewhat

easier now that the highest of tides has passed, there was no complacency in the Sam Sen area, where a floodwall burst Saturday morning under the pressure from the surging water. Residents and soldiers stood shoulder to shoulder in the churning torrents trying to plug the gap and get the flow under control.

Post office closings hurt rural America A4 Sunday, October 30, 2011

SANTA FE — The U.S. Postal Service study on closing some 37,000 post offices in the nation poses a real crisis for rural America.

The problem is an $8 billion budget deficit. New Mexico has 54 of those target post offices. Hearings currently are being held to determine which offices should be cut.

Rural post offices are more than just a place to pick up mail. They are locations to congregate and see your neighbors at the appointed time when the mail truck is scheduled to arrive. Driving to the nearest open post office can take hours and be impossible in the winter.

The only thing worse is losing a school house. School closings began in New Mexico in the late 1940s.

World War II changed much about our culture. Increased industrialization and a how-do-you-keep-’emdown-on-the-farm syndrome weakened small towns.

New Mexico had more than 600 school districts at the time. That was pared down to 90 districts over

During the time that more than 500 districts were being closed, the elected state Board of Education was the villain. The board members really didn’t see themselves in that light. Science and technology was taking hold of our society and small schools were seen to be deprived if they didn’t have chemistry labs and couldn’t offer a broad curriculum.

The rapidly escalating Cold War and Russian space challenges prompted school faculty to encourage brighter students to prepare for

science and engineering degrees.

But rural schools were the hearts of their communities. That’s where people gathered. Basketball, and sometimes six-man football, were popular. That included girls’ basketball teams.

Communities like Virden and Forrest won state basketball championships back in the days when all schools, regardless of size, played in one division.

I watched Virden, led by the rangy Merrill brothers, play during their two championship seasons. To get a 10-man traveling squad, they had to dip down into the junior high grades. Several of the Caton family from Forrest became friends and state leaders in later years.

The small schools were producing a good product and with 100 percent graduation rates. And they still are doing a good job, as documented by Think New Mexico, a Santa Fe-based think tank.

The organization currently is lobbying for a return to smaller

schools, citing better attendance, graduation and test performance in the remaining small schools of the state.

The main reason is that the small communities are close. Students don’t fall off radar screens. Everyone is interested in everyone else’s children.

Rural residents tried to explain to state Board of Education meetings the good reasons for keeping their schools open. But, curiously, the only ones who seemed to succeed were those represented by powerful legislators.

Now those students ride a bus for hours each day. They can’t stay in town for after -school activities.

Many are lost in big student bodies.

And it was all in the name of giving them a broader education.

There was some thought of it being cheaper but Think New Mexico has come up with figures disputing that notion.

Let’s hope that in the hearings on closing rural post offices, creative

ideas can be developed that will prevent the rush to judgment we saw with the closing of small school districts 60 years ago. *** Monday is Halloween. Despite efforts to curb its celebration, it sells more costumes, more decorations and more candy than any other holiday of the year. So have fun.

Tuesday is 11/1/11. Imagine the people getting excited about those numbers and all they might symbolize. County clerks report more marriage licenses than usual issued on such days.

This day may be even more special because of the unity theme symbolized by the numeral 1. And coming up in 10 days is an even bigger cause for celebration — 11/11/11.

Nobel winners skeptical of debt

Economics may be called the “dismal science.” But, boy, when government gets it wrong, untold misery results — as we’re seeing as the Great Recession keeps rolling on like a four-year Halloween horror show.

The co-winners of this year’s Nobel economics prize are two Americans whose work shows how important their discipline can be to public policy. They are Thomas Sargent of New York University and Christopher Sims of Princeton University. The Nobel committee cited them “for their empirical research on cause and effect in the macroeconomy.” Put another way, they showed that even small changes in public policy can affect the overall economy — for better or worse.

Working independently, the two men were major proponents of the “rational expectations revolution” in economics. Sargent is the best-known and is the 17th-most-cited living economist in journals in his field.

This sometimes complex theory was explained to us by Esmael Adibi, director of the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research at Chapman University. “The bottom line is that, if you introduce a policy — monetary or fiscal — using their reason, people will see the effect of it. They will see if, in some way, it will not work.”

He pointed to the Keynesian economic theory that government spending stimulates an economy, which underpins the economic policies of recent years, such as President Barack Obama’s $787 billion stimulus of January 2009. “People are not stupid,” Adibi said. “If the stimulus leads, over the long term, to higher taxes to pay back the stimulus, then people won’t spend the stimulus money; they’ll save it to pay the taxes.”

Indeed, in January 2009, Sargent warned, “The calculations that I have seen supporting the stimulus package are back-of-the-envelope ones that ignore what we have learned in the last 60 years of macroeconomic research.” That ignorance was costly. The stimulus was passed but did not induce a robust recovery. Indeed, U.S. unemployment has risen to 9.1 percent in September 2011 from 7.6 percent in January 2009.

All the “stimulus” did was stimulate the national debt, which now approaches $15 trillion. And Obama now is calling for a $447 billion tax increase as part of his latest jobs proposal.

“Sargent also argues that monetary policy without sound fiscal policy probably won’t be effective,” Adibi explained. “Low interest rates are supposed to stimulate the economy. But if there are persistent budget deficits, in the long run that will lead to higher interest rates” because too much debt reduces one’s creditworthiness. That’s just what’s happened, with Standard & Poor’s downgrading U.S. debt last August.

We like this “rational expectations” school because it affirms what most sensible people know: Too much spending and debt — by governments, businesses or people — leads to ruin. As Thomas Jefferson advised, “A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned — this is the sum of good government.”

Guest Editorial The Orange County Register DEAR DR. K: I have small white bumps on my eyelids that drive me crazy. They don’t hurt, but they look awful. A doctor told me they are meibomian cysts. He said they are harmless, but if I want to get rid of them, I’ll need surgery. What do you think?

DEAR READER: These little cysts are har mless in one respect: They are not a form of cancer. But I wouldn’t call them har mless if they bother you every time you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror.

First, let’s be sure that you actually have meibomian cysts.

Since I can’t look at your eyelids, I’m not sure if your bumps are large or small. Nor do I know exactly where they appear on your eyelids. Just as in real

Jindal shows conservative principles

Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana last weekend won re-election with a staggering 65.8 percent of the vote in a state that remains heavily Democratic. It is, the governor’s office contends, the highest percentage achieved by a candidate since the state’s open primary was created. Jindal won all of the state’s 64 parishes, increasing by four the number of parishes he won in 2007.

One might expect this to be big news beyond the state, but most newspapers and TV media outside Louisiana either buried Jindal’s win on inside pages and deep into their

Meibomian cysts are small, fluid-filled sacs that can develop along the edge of an eyelid. They take their name from the meibomian glands, which produce a mixture of oil and mucus to keep your skin and hair, including eyelashes, from drying out. The fluid is released through tiny openings called ducts peppered

In a telephone conversation, I asked Governor Jindal why?

“It runs contrary to the political thinking in Washington, which is about more spending and bigger government,” he said. The big media don’t want to focus on successes that come as the result of smaller

along the edge of the eyelid, just behind the eyelashes.

When a duct gets blocked, fluid backs up into the gland.

This prompts inflammation and produces a cyst that grows toward the inner surface of the eyelid. The cyst is small and white, as you describe.

Often, meibomian cysts disappear without any treatment at all. Failing this, I recommend putting a warm compress on the area. Apply it for 10 to 20 minutes, three to four times a day.

This gentle treatment encourages the cyst to drain and heal.

If a cyst becomes infected, I generally prescribe an antibacterial ointment. Sometimes a cyst won’t respond to compresses or becomes very large. At this point, surgery may be needed. Ask

government and less spending because it not only reduces the size and power of government, but the influence of journalists who see themselves co-equal with, if not superior to, government.

Republicans don’t do well, Jindal says, “when we are not consistent with our principles.”

The coming election, he adds, needs to offer a clear choice between “a permanent central government in Washington and a conservative approach” that will achieve what everyone says must be done — Social Security and Medicare reform, a transformed tax code and smaller government. He calls

your doctor to refer you to an eye specialist who specializes in eyelid surgery and can drain or remove the cyst.

There are other types of little bumps on the eyelids that require different treatments.

Another possibility is that you have milia. Milia are tiny, white dome-shaped bumps. They form on the skin of the eyelid or around the eye. Milia are much smaller than meibomian cysts — about the size of pinheads. They may not look good, but they don’t hurt and don’t interfere with vision.

Finally, although it is rare, some types of skin cancer can start on the eyelids. Here are my “red flag” signs for eyelid bumps.

Making a passionate impact on this world OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

What is it in this world that you are passionate about? What is it that just the thought of causes you to experience an e m ot io n al r e s p on se? Yo u r g u t response may be positive or negative, but nonetheless, it triggers something emotional in you.

Some of you might respond better to other questions: “What is it that makes you get up each morning?” “If there were just one thing you could see accomplished in your lifetime, what would it be?” “What is it that defines your existence?”

You need to have passions in your world. God gave us emotions. If nothing in your world causes you to be emotional, you are probably living a very mundane life.

You see, a passion is something that comes from the heart. It is something that is bigger than you are. It is something that drives you through each day.

It is something that you don’t go a day without thinking about. Your big passion shapes your world. It is the lenses in your glasses through which you see the world. Everything you experience is viewed through the lenses of your passion. A true passion colors your entire world view. It is the receiving end of the saying, “You will see what you are looking for.”

When a person is passionate about a boyfriend/girlfriend or a spouse, each decision that person makes begins with t h e q u es ti on , “ H o w w i l l t hi s m a tt e r impact my special relationship?” When a person is passionate about an upcoming vacation, as events happen day-to-day, the person is constantly thinking, “If I can make it to my vacation, everything will be all right.” When a family is excited about a visit by out-of-town company, over the weeks ahead of the visit, the family continually asks the question, “What do we need to have done in our home for it to be ready?”

You get the idea. Some passions are time sensitive and short lived. Then there are passions that follow a person for years, but may not dominate a lifetime.

If your passion is professional football, you enjoy talking to others about your favorite team. Part of how you view others is by who their favorite team is. If

your passion is related to a political party, you can’t wait to share your political beliefs. You see others as members of whatever political party they belong to. If you have a hobby that you enjoy, you light up when someone asks you about it and then you remember the words of others about your hobby or their involvement in your hobby.

If your passion is feeding the homeless, you will notice every time you pass a person who is homeless while others drive by, never seeing the individual on the side of the road. If your passion is fine automobiles, you may drop your jaw in shock if you are walking down a sidewalk and a vintage car drives by while the person walking next to you doesn’t even notice the older model car.

Now I want to dig in to talk about passions that carry you through a lifetime.

These are passions that impact the world after you are gone. These are passions that shape a person’s life and can define a person’s existence. These are what I would call a passion that consumes a person.

Some people dedicate their lives to a cause they are passionate about. Many who work their lifetime for a charitable organization are fulfilled each day they go to work because they are passionate about the cause they are advancing.

Everything they do is shaped by their cause.

There are many critical organizations that fight for underdogs such as children, seniors or the abused. Besides secular nonprofit organizations, there are religious organizations which focus on ministries to those in need. But most of the world does not work for charitable businesses. For most of us our passions don’t put bread on the table to feed our families. We don’t make a living off of the

passion of our lives. We still get involved and fight for causes, but it is not a 40plus-hour-a-week undertaking. It is the giving of our resources, sometimes volunteer time, sometimes money, that advance the cause we believe in. Our contributions can be critical to the cause we are passionate about.

I just listened to a book on CD by author and pastor Francis Chan titled “Crazy Love.” The book talks about living every minute of every day as a Christian.

If the listener follows his suggestion, every single decision the person makes is guided by instructions from the Bible.

opportunity to affect real change, it’s hard to believe he would reject the offer should he get the call.

It would be nearly impossible for President Obama to criticize Jindal’s record in Louisiana, including his success in turning around failing schools following the destruction of Hurricane Katrina. That disaster has led not only to new school buildings but also reconstructed curricula, school choice and improved grades.

While President Obama makes speeches and wants to spend money we don’t have in a phony attempt to create jobs, Jindal is succeeding with conservative ideas.

In his re-election campaign, Jindal pledged to overhaul his state’s tax structure in order to improve the business climate that was stifling job creation. His office maintains that “he quickly cut taxes that were directly penalizing business investments, which create more Louisiana jobs. He also fulfilled his 2007 campaign commitment to enact targeted tax credits that would lead to job creation in high-growth industries. Over the past three and a half years Louisiana has seen a job creation turnaround, with the state announcing projects that create more than 45,000 new direct and indirect jobs and more than $10 billion in capital investment.

changes, gave Louisiana an ‘A’ in their 2010 ranking because of new tax changes.”

Jindal also confronted wasteful spending, which Washington politicians often talk about, but do little to reverse. He reduced the state budget by $9 billion, or 26 percent, in part by eliminating unnecessary government jobs and streamlining services.

For the third year in a row, Southern Business and Development named Louisiana “State of the Year” for attracting business investment and creating jobs. People are migrating to Louisiana after several years of emigration. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, “this is the fourth consecutive year of Louisiana population in-migration.”

Bobby Jindal’s electoral and economic successes should serve not only as a model, but also as an inspiration to Republican candidates for president and Congress. The miracle of Louisiana can also work in other states and in Washington because Jindal is the latest conservative to demonstrate that conservative principles work and that those principles should not be shied away from, but embraced.

His resume and track record commend him for vice president, whoever the eventual Republican nominee turns out to be.

vehicles when it was hit along a four-lane highway often used by foreign military trainers in the southwestern part of Kabul.

The landmark Darulaman Palace, the bombedout seat of former Afghan kings, was the backdrop to the chaotic scene: Shrapnel, twisted pieces of metal and charred human remains littered the street.

U.S. soldiers wept as they pulled bodies from the debris, said Noor Ahmad, a witness at the scene. One coalition soldier was choking inside the burned bus, he said.

“The bottom half of his body was burned,” Ahmad said.

NATO said five of its service members and eight civilian contractors working for the coalition died in the attack.

A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to release the information before a formal announcement, said all 13 were Americans. However, Lt. Col. Christian Lemay, a defense Canadian spokesman, told The Associated Press that one Canadian soldier was among the troops killed. The discrepancy could not immediately be reconciled.

It was the deadliest single attack against the U.S.led coalition across the country since the Taliban shot down a NATO helicopter on Aug. 6 in an eastern Afghan province, killing 30 U.S. troops, most elite Navy SEALs, and eight Afghans.

The Afghan Ministry of Interior said four Afghans, including two children, also died in Saturday's attack.

Eight other Afghans, including two children, were wounded, said Kabir Amiri, head of Kabul hospitals.

In all, there were three attacks Saturday against NATO and Afghan forces across the country.

A teenage girl also blew herself up as she tried to attack an Afghan intelligence office in the capital of Kunar province, a hotbed of militancy in northeast Afghanistan along the Pakistan border, the coalition said. Abdul Sabor Allayar, deputy provincial police chief, said the guards outside the government's intelligence office in Asad Abad became suspicious and started shooting, at which point the bomber detonated her explosives, killing herself and wounding several intelligence employees.

Afghan Defense Ministry spokesman Mohammad Zahir Azimi said officials were investigating whether the man who opened fire on a joint NATO-Afghan base in the restive souther n Uruzgan province was an actual soldier or a militant in disguise.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp. said the attack occurred during a morning parade at a forward patrol base in souther n Kandahar province,

and the gunman wearing an Afghan army uniform was later killed. The discrepancy in the location of the attack could not immediately be clarified.

In Canberra, the Defense Department said three Australian soldiers and their Afghan interpreter were killed in the attack, and seven Australian soldiers were wounded.

“It’s a huge loss,” said U.S. Ambassador R yan Crocker. “Our deepest sympathies go out to their comrades and families, but it will not deter us from our mission. It’s a shock, but we will not let these guys win.”

Just a day earlier, the Pentagon issued a progress report saying that the number of enemy-initiated attacks in Afghanistan was trending downward. Since May of this year, the monthly number of these attacks has been lower than the same month in 2010, something not seen since 2007, it said.

However, the Pentagon also noted that the insurgency’s safe havens in Pakistan and the limited capacity of the Afghan government could jeopardize ef forts to tur n security gains on the battlefield, primarily in the south, into long-ter m stability in Afghanistan.

Saturday’s attack broke a relative lull in the Afghan capital, which has experienced a number of attacks in recent years that are often blamed on the Haqqani network, an alQaida and Taliban-linked movement that operates out of Pakistan.

The most recent attack in Kabul was the Sept. 20 assassination of for mer President Afghan Burhanuddin Rabbani by an insurgent who detonated a bomb hidden in his turban. The attacker was posing as a peace emissary coming to meet Rabbani, who was leading a government effort to broker peace with the Taliban.

That occurred about a week after teams of insurgents firing rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons struck at the U.S. Embassy, NATO headquarters and other buildings in the heart of Afghanistan’s capital, leaving seven Afghans dead.

On Saturday, NATO and Afghan forces sealed off the blast area as fire trucks and ambulances, sirens blaring, rushed in. Coalition troops carried a badly burned body on a stretcher and several black body bags to two NATO helicopters that landed nearby to airlift casualties from the scene.

The Taliban identified the bomber as Abdul Rahman and said he was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV containing 1,540 pounds (700 kilograms) of explosives and targeting foreigners providing training for Afghan police. The Taliban, who frequently exaggerate casualty claims, said that 25 people were killed by the blast.

Loans

House chief of staf f Bill Daley said. “While we continue to take steps to make sure the United States remains competitive in the 21st century energy economy, we must also ensure that we are strong stewards of taxpayer dollars.”

Daley said the review would be conducted by former Treasury official Herb Allison, who oversaw the Troubled Asset Relief Program, part of the 2008 Wall Street bailout. The review would not look at the Solyndra case but would evaluate other loans worth tens of billions of dollars and recommend steps to stabilize them if they appear to have problems like the loan to Solyndra.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement that he welcomed the White House review.

House Republicans are preparing to ramp up their investigation of Solyndra, which is proving a political headache for the White House and providing fodder for opponents of Obama’s renewable energy agenda.

The White House has already refused a request by the Republican-controlled House Energy and Commerce Committee for all its internal communications about Solyndra, which closed its doors and filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year, costing 1,100 jobs.

GOP Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan and Cliff Stearns of Florida said Friday a subpoena was necessary because the White House has denied its requests for documents. Upton chairs the Energy and Commerce panel, while Stearns leads a subcommittee on investigations. Recently released emails and other documents show that White House officials participated in decisions regarding the Solyndra loan.

“What is the White House trying to hide from the American public?” Stearns and Upton asked in a joint statement. “It is alarming for the Obama White House to cast aside its vows of transparency and block Congress from lear ning more about the roles that those in the White House and other members of the administration played in the Solyndra mess.”

The panel is seeking documents that might shed light on actions by White House officials in connection with the original 2009 loan to Solyndra as well as a restructuring of the deal that took place earlier this year.

Solyndra, of Fremont, Calif., was the first renewable-energy company to receive a loan guarantee under a stimulus-law pro-

Roswell Daily Record gram to encourage green energy and was frequently touted by the Obama administration as a model.

Obama visited the company’s headquarters last year, and Vice President Joe Biden spoke by satellite at a groundbreaking ceremony.

The Obama administration has released thousands of emails — but withheld thousands more — concer ning the $528 million loan. To date, the administration says it has produced 70,000 pages, participated in nine briefings for congressional committee staff and provided testimony at four House committee hearings.

White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler has previously said that the committee leaders’ request for more documents has implications for executive branch confidentiality.

“It has been well-established for decades that the president has a strong constitutionally rooted interest in preserving the confidentiality of executive branch deliberative communications,” Ruemmler wrote the committee this week.

The White House also has said it would not release Obama’s BlackBerry messages — which if released would be a presidential first.

Any subpoena of White House records could trigger a claim of executive privilege by the Obama administration and elevate the political stakes, although the issue could also be resolved through negotiations.

The loan is being investigated by two House committees, which have released Solyndra-related documents from federal agencies including the Energy and T reasury departments and the Office of Management and Budget.

Solyndra is under criminal investigation by the FBI. Inspectors general at the U.S. Treasury and the Energy Department also are investigating.

The Energy Department program was designed to guarantee private bank loans to companies that were developing renewable energy, with some direct loans by the government expected when private financing wasn’t available.

In practice, most of the financing has been through the government.

Of the 33 deals that have been completed so far, 26 were direct loans by the government, including the one to Solyndra, said Energy Department spokesman Damien LaVera. Only seven were completed though private banks.

Halloween is tomorrow!

Kids are thinking about costumes, candy and fun with their friends. Safety is the last thing on their minds. Therefore, we as parents and motorists need to be especially alert.

Parents must remember that they should set the rules before the night begins. Common sense can do a lot to prevent tragedies from happening.

•Make sure an adult or an older responsible youth will be supervising the outing for smaller children.

•Plan and discuss the route trick-or -treaters intend to follow. It will be better to trick or treat in their own neighborhood

and on well-lighted streets.

Know the names and contact information of older children's companions.

•Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along an established route.

•Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are well-lit. They must never enter a stranger’s home.

•Establish a return time.

•Tell your youngsters not to eat any treat until they return home. If candy is not wrapped by the candy company, throw it away. It may even be appropriate to contact local law enforcement if suspicious treats

are found.

•Make sure that children understand pedestrian and traffic safety rules. They must be taught to walk, and not run, from house to house, and to not cross yards and lawns where they may trip and fall.

•Talk about staying away from dark or fenced areas, where there may be dogs or

Motorists, too, must be especially alert on Halloween.

•Watch for children darting out from between parked cars.

•Watch for children walking on roadways, medians and curbs.

•Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully.

•At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing.

Let’s mention one other less severe, but important,

safety consideration, and that is Safety for Pets.

Remember, Halloween can be very frightening for dogs and cats. Set them up in a special room during Trick of Treat hours, with food, water, and perhaps a toy.

Don’t let them eat candy.

Chocolate can be deadly to animals.

Additionally, note that your pet may not share your opinion as to how cute that costume is! If they don’t like it, don’t make them wear it. Also, Halloween is a bad time of year for cats, especially black cats. There are some vicious people out there.

Keep your cats inside for a few days around Halloween.

Finally, the City of Roswell and other local organizations offer several Halloween and Fall Festival activities around the city.

Parents might consider taking your children to these well-organized and wellsupervised activities. Watch the Roswell Daily Record and other advertising venues for more information about these.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A sense of responsibility emanates through your day. You could be focused on a money matter involving another person or simply how to distribute the Halloween candy. A sense of letting go marks later today.

Tonight: Keep it light.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Keep reaching out for someone at a distance. You could be disturbed by everything that you are seeing and feeling. Worry less about others.

You can always opt to go solo, if need be. What you feel might not be communicated in your words. Tonight: Put on music first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Deal with money and work issues. Instead of negligence or a power play, would it not be better to achieve a cohesive attitude and a game plan?

Act on what you discover to be so. You will like the end results.

Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

JACQUELINE BIGAR YOUR HOROSCOPE

Those who know you past your defensive Crab attacks recognize how very nurturing and caring you are. However, you don’t need to be the lead player every time. You could be much happier letting someone else assume the responsibility he or she has coveted for a long time.

Tonight: Enjoy the people around you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You are really into a project and determined to get as much done as possible. Still, you are likely to discover how easily you could be distracted. Remain focused and stay on top of communication. If you are longing to go off and do something personal, do.

You might be too distracted anyway. Tonight: Go for something

relaxing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Nearly everyone around you is focused and in Monday mode. Your mind might be aware that it is Monday, but your imagination goes haywire.

You have some very fun thoughts and ideas. Maybe you can indulge and leave your routine behind early in the day.

Tonight: Lighten up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Stay centered and remember your priorities.

Whether your mind goes on overdrive or you are inundated with calls and requests, it seems close to impossible to complete a project. You will want to move a project to the back burner for a short period. Tonight: Head home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a lot to say, and considering the way you express yourself, you will be noticed. Use your gift of communication to make waves and be heard. From that point on a discussion becomes possible. Don’t allow a sense of depression to get to you. Tonight: Enjoying the haunted quality of the night.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be aware of what you

Better

It’ s time to escape from the everyday.

With the change of seasons comes the opportunity to relax and recharge at New Mexico’s premier mountain resort and casino.

SPORTS Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

PHOENIX — When the topic of New Mexico Military Institute Bronco football comes up, the discussion usually revolves around the Institute’s offense.

More often than not, the defensive unit sits in the shadow of its of fensive counterpart.

Not on Saturday, though.

The Bronco defense came up with numerous stops at critical times, held a game Phoenix of fense to 17 points and just 265 total yards and NMMI picked up a 41-17 road win over the Bears at Hoy Stadium in Phoenix.

“Our defense the second half played great,” said Bronco coach Josh L ynn after the game. “(Our defense) shut (Phoenix) down in every area.

“I know they scored in the second half, but it was only after two penalties on us. Other than that, (our defense) shut them down the entire half.”

NMMI (8-1, 5-1 Western States Football League)

built a 21-10 lead at halftime and survived a couple of scares from the Bears in the second half thanks to the defense.

After Phoenix scored to make it 27-17, the Bears got the ball back at the Bronco 25 after Tim Callian’s 15-yard punt.

Phoenix moved the ball to the 15 on a 10-yard run

by Terry Williams, but NMMI’s defense stiffened and allowed just 4 yards on the next three plays.

Alberto Camacho missed his second field goal of the day on fourth down, though.

Phoenix (2-7, 1-5) would get two more possessions with the score still at 2717, but NMMI’s defense didn’t break.

The Broncos forced a punt on the first of those two possessions and forced a turnover at the Bear 13 on the next one.

NMMI’s of fense took advantage of the turnover when David Vega hit Greg Ramirez for an 8-yard touchdown to make it 3417.

COWBOYS WAIVE TASHARD CHOICE

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys have waived injured running back Tashard Choice.

The move was made Saturday before the team departed for Philadelphia.

Rookie linebacker Bruce Carter was activated from the non-football injury list and will likely make his NFL debut against the Eagles on Sunday night.

Choice suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter last Sunday against St. Louis, when he started before rookie DeMarco Murray set a Cowboys franchise record with 253 yards rushing against St. Louis.

If Choice clears waivers, the Cowboys will then reach an injury settlement with him.

In a tweet Saturday, the fourth-year player from Georgia Tech wrote, “My time in Dallas has come to an end and the best is yet come. God bless.”

The Berrendo Bulldogs pose for a team picture after winning their fifth straight Middle School City Championship by beating Mesa 32-0 at DeBremond Stadium, Tuesday.

Artesia alumnus Landry Jones throws a pass during Oklahoma’s win over Kansas State, Saturday. Jones, who is already Oklahoma’s all-time leader in career passing yards, threw for a school-record 505 yards during the Sooners’ 58-17 rout of the Wildcats.

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles put Oklahoma’s season back on track.

Now, Kansas State will see if it can bounce back from its own loss.

Jones thr ew for a schoolrecord 505 yards and five touchdowns Saturday, his All-American wide r eceiver caught 14 passes for 171 yards and a score, and the 11th-ranked Sooners took out some pent up frustration with a 58-17 thumping of the No. 10 Wildcats.

Their national championship hopes dashed by Texas Tech last week — along with their 39-game home winning str eak — the Sooners (7-1, 4-1) spoiled the same hopes harbored by Kansas State.

Jones shattered the previous school record for yards passing of 468, which he had shared with Sam Bradford, and moved into first place on the Oklahoma career list with 90 touchdown passes.

“We just came out with a focus,” he said with a shrug.

“Kept playing ball.”

Just about the only downer on an otherwise splendid Saturday afternoon was a season-ending injury to leading rusher Dominique Whaley, who fractured his left ankle on the first play of the game.

RHS girls down Belen

BELEN — Winning a playof f game is difficult enough, but coming away with a ‘W’ on the road in the postseason is an even taller task. That was what the Roswell girls soccer team had to do if it wanted to advance to the quarterfinals of the 4A state tournament.

The No. 9 Coyotes did just that in a 3-1 victory over No. 8 Belen on Saturday.

Tara Pogan put the Coyotes on the board first in the 20th minute off an assist from Victoria Miraz, but Roswell coach Samantha Lawrence said her team played sluggish in the first half.

“The girls played sluggish in the first half, but we played with heart,” she said. “Every time you travel it is hard to play. We were up 1-0 and I told them at halftime that it wasn’t good enough. I told them that if we didn’t get a couple more goals and change the way we were playing, (Belen) would put a few goals in the back of the net. We went out in the second half and played much better.”

Belen was able to tie the game at 1 in the 55th minute, but the Coyotes’ Jesse Jennings pushed through two goals in the final 15 minutes to give Roswell a win and set up a quarterfinal showdown with No. 1 St. Pius X on Thursday at 10:45 a.m.

Lawrence said that St. Pius is a good team, but that the Coyotes can pull off the upset if their minds are right.

“St. Pius is going to pass the ball well and control the center,” she said. “We just have to play our game and we just have to play hard. We can beat them. (Believing that we can beat them) is probably the biggest thing we are going to have to face.

“As soon as the game (with Belen) was over, we were starting to believe that we could play with St. Pius on Thursday. I think we are ready to go.”

unfortunately for the Roswell boys soccer team, that’s what happened against Albuquerque Academy on Saturday.

“Really sad for Dom,” coach Bob Stoops said.

“What a gr eat young man. We’ll miss him.”

Perhaps so, but the offense looked just fine without him.

Br oyles moved into first place on the Big 12’s car eer list with 4,499 yards receiving, Kenny Stills added four catches for 101 yards, and Roy Finch finished with 73 yards rushing and another 69 through the air for the Sooners’ potent, fast-paced attack.

They wound up with a season-high 690 yards of of fense against the Big 12’s top defense.

“Oklahoma’s a lot better than some people would want to think, pr obably, and I did a really miserable job of getting our football team r eady to play,” Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said.

Relying on a smokeand-mirr ors of fense that had been consistently out-gained all season, Kansas State (7-1, 4-1) still managed to piece together its best start since 1999.

It all came undone against Oklahoma.

Collin Klein was sacked seven times, the Wildcats were penalized an uncharacteristic five times, normally reliable kicker Anthony Cantele missed a chip-shot field goal and a defense that had been assignment sound all year crumbled against the Sooners’ relentless onslaught.

“It’s really painful,” cornerback David Garrett said, “but they’re a good team, a lot of great athletes. We’ve just got to come together Monday and bounce back.”

Kansas State actually led 17-14 midway thr ough the second quarter, but the Sooners scored late in the half, and John Hubert’s fumble with 19 seconds left allowed Michael Hunnicutt to kick a car eer -long 53-yar d field goal on the final play for a 23-17 halftime advantage.

It was the start of 44 straight points scored by the Sooners.

Defense

Shawn Luna picked off Tanner Young’s pass on the first play of Phoenix’s drive after the Ramirez TD and NMMI effectively slammed the door when Max Thompson scored on a 2-yard run with 5:40 left.

“It’s a good testament to those guys. They always battle,” Lynn said about the defense. “I think the defensive scheme today was that we wanted to go in there and make (Young) throw

than we thought and they took it to us. My defense hung in there and stopped everything. (Goalkeeper Rafael) Vigil had the game of his life today and stopped a lot of shots. We just never got up to get in and have shots.”

Vernon said that his team had a chance to win in penalty kicks and that is all he could ask for.

“Academy is a possession team and they outpossessed us big time,” he said. “They are big guys.

We gave ourselves a chance to get into PKs and try to get that win.

We just didn’t do it. We gave ourselves a chance and that is all you can ask for.”

hit Jaz Reynolds for the second of his two touchdown catches to give Oklahoma a 37-17 lead.

Finch added a 31yar d touchdown run later in the third quarter and the rout was on.

“It was a fun night,” Jones said. “The offense was executing and we were doing our job.”

By the time Trey Millard slipped through the por ous Kansas State defensive front and outran the secondary to the end zone for a 61-yard touchdown run with 11 minutes left, a crowd of 51,004 that had been in such a festive mood early in the afternoon was heading for the doors.

Klein finished with 92 yar ds and two TDs rushing for Kansas State, but he was just 8 of 16 for 58 yar ds through the air. Hubert added 71 yards rushing, while Nigel Malone had two interceptions.

That was about it for the positives.

Oklahoma scored on six straight possessions at one point, and the 58 points allowed by Kansas State’s defense were the most by a Snyder -coached team at home since Nov. 18, 1989, when Colorado piled up 59. The Wildcats’ of fense couldn’t keep up, managing only 32 yards after halftime.

“We knew what kind of team they were coming in,” Klein said. “It wasn’t a surprise, but it was frustrating, not being able to execute like we were. We were struggling.”

The Sooners have won five straight in the series, their last loss coming in the 2003 conference championship game. They haven’t lost in Manhattan since 1996.

Mor e importantly, they’re still alive in the Big 12 race.

The Sooners and Wildcats are both chasing undefeated Oklahoma State, with Kansas State getting the first shot against the nation’s third-ranked team next weekend.

Oklahoma gets its chance against its instate rival in the annual Bedlam game on Dec. 3.

“We bounced back the way we should,” Reynolds said with a sly smile. “There were some plays that we left out there, but we were pretty good.” and we did that.

“Holding (Phoenix) to 17 points, especially 7 second-half points, (the defense) did a great job and that’s a credit to those guys on the defensive side of the ball.”

On the offensive side, Vega was 15 for 25 for 208 yards and three TDs. R yan French led the receiving corps with 104 yards and a TD on five catches.

Missouri upsets A&M 38-31 in OT

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Missouri quarterback James Franklin had the worst game of his short career last week, with four turnovers in the second half a loss to No. 3 Oklahoma State.

He made up for it on Saturday, throwing two touchdown passes, including the game-winner in overtime, and running for two more scores to lead the Tigers to a 38-31 win over No. 16

Texas A&M. The winning score came on an 11-yard throw to Marcus Lucas.

Franklin didn’t feel like he had a great day passing, but he made a perfect throw when it counted most.

“We definitely wanted to run the ball, (but) once we had to get some yardage we went to the pass,” Franklin said of the winning score.

“We were getting the oneon-one coverage and it

worked out.”

Texas A&M got the ball after the score, but R yan Tannehill’s pass on fourth down was deflected.

“There was nothing easy about it,” Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said of the win.

“These kind of games you just have to fight and fight.

A lot of players did a lot of good things in critical situations and I’m very proud of them.”

The Tigers had a chance to win it in regulation, but a 46-yard field goal attempt sailed wide right as time expired.

Missouri (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) got the ball when Jacquies Smith caused a fumble by Tannehill, which was recovered by Dominique Hamilton.

The Aggies led by 11 at halftime, but Missouri took a 31-28 lead on an 11-yard run by Henry Josey with about eight minutes left.

Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2) tied it on a 35-yard field goal about four minutes later.

Franklin threw for 198 yards ran for 97 yards.

Josey, the Big 12’s leading rusher, had 20 carries for 162 yards.

It was the fifth 100-yard game for Josey and his second in a row.

Missouri has won two straight over the Aggies and unlike the rest of the Big 12 schools, the Tigers could face them again next year.

Missouri is expected to soon join Texas A&M in a move to the Southeastern Conference.

Missouri took its first lead

of the second half on the 11-yard touchdown run by Josey. To get that drive going, Josey bounced to the outside and dashed down the sideline for 43 yards before being dragged down from behind.

The Tigers went for it on fourth-and-1 from the Texas A&M 43 early in the fourth quarter and Franklin’s run was short. Missouri made up for it when Tannehill was hit as he threw a pass which was intercepted by Randy Ponder.

Ponder returned it 45 yards and Franklin cut A&M’s lead to 28-24 when he scored on an 8-yard run three plays later.

Pinkel was proud of his team’s defensive improvement in the second half.

“We got out of drives. I think we were a little bit more aggressive in the secondary,” he said. “We got a lot of balls batted down, we got some turnovers and we forced fourth-down punts.”

Tannehill threw for three touchdowns in the first half, but the Aggies managed only a field goal after that to lose their third game this season after leading by double digits at halftime.

Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman doesn’t have an easy answer for why his team has struggled after halftime in its three losses.

“I just think that we did not make the plays we needed to make when we needed to make them,” Sherman said. “It’s definitely something we’ve got to talk about and get fixed.”

Top 25: Thomas sparks Ducks

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon stars LaMichael James and Darron Thomas returned from injury but true freshman De’Anthony Thomas sparked the No. 7 Ducks with two second-half touchdowns in a 43-28 victory over Washington State on Saturday.

Darron Thomas, who missed a game because of a knee injury, returned to start against the Cougars but threw two interceptions in the first half and was replaced by backup Bryan Bennett in the second.

Washington State (3-5, 1-4 Pac-12) lost its fourth straight. The Cougars hung tough with Oregon for much of the game and trailed by only 15-10 at the half.

Lavasier Tuinei caught two touchdown passes for Oregon (7-1, 5-0), which has won 21 straight games at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks have also won 17 straight conference games.

De’Anthony Thomas, a running back from Los Angeles, has 11 touchdowns this season, an Oregon record for a true freshman. His second score of the game was a 93-yard kickoff return.

James, a Heisman finalist last season, missed two games after dislocating his right elbow in a victory over California on Oct. 6.

Wearing a brace, James ran for 53 yards against the Cougars.

Darron Thomas missed Oregon’s 45-2 victory over Colorado last week because of an apparent knee injury he sustained the week before against Arizona State.

Thomas, wearing a brace on his left knee, did not look limited mobility-wise and it was unclear if he left the game because of the injury. He finished with 8-of-13 passing for 153 yards and a score.

Bennett completed four of seven passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

Marshall Lobbestael, who played in place of injured Cougars quarterback Jeff Tuel, completed 28 of 48 passes for 337 yards and a touchdown. He was intercepted twice.

Oregon’s special teams set the tone when they blocked Washington State’s punt after the game’s opening series and Boseko Lokombo returned it 26 yards for the touchdown. Holder Jackson Rice’s pass to kicker Alejandro Maldonado was good for two extra points to put the Ducks ahead 8-0.

Andrew Furney kicked a 40-yard field goal to narrow the margin for the Cougars.

Oregon made it 15-3 when Darron Thomas, scrambling away from several defenders, got off a pass moments before he was hit. Tuinei awkwardly pulled it down and stumbled into the end zone for a 55yard touchdown.

Furney missed a 25-yarder for the Cougars with just under three minutes left in the first half. But Washington State would quickly recover, with cornerback Damante Horton’s 76-yard interception return for a touchdown to narrow it to 15-10 with 1:50 left.

Maldonado’s 47-yard field goal attempt for the Ducks went wide right as time ran out in the half.

Bennett set the tone for Oregon in the second half with a pitch to De’Anthony Thomas who ran the rest of the way for a 45yard score.

No. 4 Stanford 56, No. 20 USC 48, 3OT LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stepfan Taylor ran for the tying touchdown with 38 seconds left in regulation and the go-ahead score in the third overtime, and Stanford’s defense preserved its 16-game winning streak by forcing Curtis McNeal’s end-zone fumble to end the No. 4 Cardinal’s 56-48 victory over No. 20 Southern California on Saturday night.

Andrew Luck burnished his Heisman Trophy credentials by engineering four late

scoring drives for Stanford (8-0, 6-0 Pac12), which rallied after trailing for the first time all season.

But four years after Stanford stunned USC (6-2, 3-2) with a one-point victory as a 41-point underdog, the schools played another classic on a cool Coliseum night — and once again, the Cardinal ruled.

Both teams scored on the first two OT possessions. After Taylor’s run in the third OT, Coby Fleener caught the 2-point conversion pass.

USC got near the goal line again, but McNeal fumbled into the end zone.

Georgia Tech 31, No. 6 Clemson 17 ATLANTA (AP) — Tevin Washington rushed for 176 yards and broke the two longest runs of his career, leading Georgia Tech to an upset.

The Yellow Jackets (7-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) raced to a 24-3 halftime lead and held off Clemson (8-1, 5-1) which was off to its best start since 2000, The Tigers had climbed to fifth in the BCS standings, but they figure to take a tumble and are unlikely to have enough game left to reenter the national race.

The Yellow Jackets snapped a two-game losing streak Clemson, which had scored 115 points in its two previous games, turned it over four times. Tajh Boyd threw for 295 yards, and freshman Sammy Watkins had 10 catches for 159 yards and a touchdown.

No. 8 Arkansas 31, Vanderbilt 28 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Zach Hocker kicked a 42-yard field goal with 6:53 left, and Arkansas rallied again for its fourth straight win.

It was the third time this season the Razorbacks (7-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) trailed by double digits. They didn’t trail by 18 as they did against Texas A&M or 17 last week before beating Mississippi. This time, Vanderbilt led 21-7 with 1:39 left in the first half.

The Commodores (4-4, 1-4) also had the ball at the Arkansas 5 in the fourth quarter leading 28-20 when Zac Stacy fumbled and Jerry Franklin picked it up and ran it 94 yards for a touchdown. Tyler Wilson found Jarius Wright in the end zone for the tying 2point conversion with 13:25 left.

Vanderbilt missed a chance to force overtime when Carey Spear’s 27-yard field goal went wide right with 8 seconds left.

No. 13 Nebraska 24, No. 9 Michigan State 3 LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Rex Burkhead scored three touchdowns and ran for 130 yards on 35 carries, and Nebraska took control of the Big Ten Legends Division.

Burkhead, who went over 100 yards for the fifth time in six games, scored at the end of 80- and 89-yard drives in the third quarter to put Nebraska (7-1, 3-1) up 24-3.

Taylor Martinez completed six of seven passes for 80 yards in the third quarter after going 1 for 6 in the first half.

Michigan State (6-2, 3-1), coming off the incredible finish to its win over Wisconsin last week, managed just 187 yards against Nebraska’s improving defense. Kirk Cousins was 11 of 27 for 86 yards, with an interception that set up the Huskers’ first score.

Ohio State 33, No. 12 Wisconsin 29 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Braxton Miller threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Devin Smith with 20 seconds left and Ohio State handed the Badgers another heartbreaking loss.

It was almost exactly seven days earlier that the Badgers were beaten 37-31 at Michigan State on a miracle pass on the final play of the game.

The Buckeyes (5-3, 2-2 Big Ten) won their biggest game of a season shadowed

by NCAA problems.

The Badgers (7-2, 3-2) drove to the Ohio State 45 — and got an extra play after time elapsed due to a defensive facemask call — but linebacker Andrew Sweat hit quarterback Russell Wilson as he was throwing to end the game and touch off a wild celebration.

No. 14 South Carolina 14, Tennessee 3 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Connor Shaw threw for one touchdown and ran for another as South Carolina survived in its first game without injured star running back Marcus Lattimore.

The Gamecocks (7-1, 5-1) remain in control of the Southeastern Conference’s East Division.

Lattimore suffered a season-ending knee injury Oct. 15 against Mississippi State.

Brandon Wilds had 137 yards on 28 carries and was the centerpiece of a methodical drive that ate up much of the third-quarter. He ran 11 times for 51 yards on the 20play drive, and Shaw finished it off with a 5yard touchdown run on a draw that gave the Gamecocks a 14-3 lead with 47 seconds in the third quarter.

Shaw was 10 for 18 for 87 yards and an interception.

Tennessee (3-5, 0-5) couldn’t turn multiple South Carolina mistakes into points.

Justin Worley finished 5 of 12 for 105 yards and two interceptions.

SCOREBOARD

for the Blue Devils (3-5, 1-3). They couldn’t overcome four turnovers and lost their third straight overall and 44th in a row against nationally ranked teams.

No. 17 Michigan 36, Purdue 14 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Fitzgerald Toussaint ran for a career-high 170 yards and scored two touchdowns for Michigan.

The Wolverines (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) gave up a TD on the opening drive of the game, then scored 36 straight points to bounce back from their first loss of the season, two weeks ago at Michigan State.

The Boilermakers (4-4, 2-2) haven’t won or lost consecutive games this year.

Toussaint had 155 yards rushing through three quarters, helping Michigan find a runner to take some of the load off quarterback Denard Robinson. Backup Michael Shaw ran for a 37-yard TD on his first carry early in the fourth for a 36-7 lead.

Iowa State 41, No. 19 Texas Tech 7 LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Redshirt freshman Jared Barnett threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Iowa State shocked Texas Tech a week after the Red Raiders won at Oklahoma.

Making his first start, Barnett’s mobility caused the Red Raiders defense fits. He rushed for 92 yards on 19 carries and completed 14 of 26 passes for 144 yards. His touchdowns were career firsts.

It was the largest margin of victory over a ranked team for Iowa State since the Cyclones beat No. 20 Nebraska in Ames by 22 points (36-14) in 2002.

Seth Doege completed 16 of 32 passes for a season-low 171 yards for the Red Raiders (5-3, 2-3). He threw two interceptions, lost a fumble and scored the Red Raiders’ lone score on an 8-yard touchdown run.

Iowa State (4-4, 1-4) rolled up 368 rushing yards against Texas Tech’s 105th-ranked rushing defense.

No. 22 Georgia 24, Florida 20 JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Aaron Murray threw two touchdown passes on fourth down and Georgia overcame several mistakes to win its sixth straight game.

The Bulldogs (6-2, 5-1 SEC) kept pace with South Carolina in the East Division.

It was Georgia’s fourth victory in the last 22 games against Florida and it could be a big one for coach Mark Richt. He had been under pressure since losing his first two games this season.

The Gators (4-4, 2-4) have lost four in a row for the first time since 1988, a streak that certainly will taint coach Will Muschamp’s first season in Gainesville.

Florida (4-4, 2-4) was eliminated in the division race.

No. 23 Arizona State 48, Colorado 14 TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Brock Osweiler threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns, Cameron Marshall added three scores on the ground and Arizona State avoided a letdown.

In control of the Pac-12 South, Arizona State couldn’t afford a slip-up against an injury-riddled, 31-point underdog.

The Sun Devils (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12) made sure there wasn’t one with a dominating performance, manhandling the Buffaloes on both sides of the ball while jumping out to a 21-point lead in the first quarter.

Marshall finished with 114 yards on 15 carries, Arizona State had 522 total yards and its defense forced five turnovers to stay ahead of UCLA in the division race.

Colorado (1-8, 0-5) lost its 22nd straight road game and sixth straight overall.

No. 25 West Virginia 41, Rutgers 31 PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Geno Smith threw two second-half touchdown passes and scored a go-ahead TD on a fourthdown, 1-yard run with 6:18 to play as West Virginia rallied past Rutgers in a wet and snowy storm.

Smith sandwiched touchdown passes of 19 yards to Stedman Bailey and 20 yards to Tavon Austin around his clutch dive into the end zone in rallying the Mountaineers (6-2, 2-1 Big East) from a 10-point halftime deficit to their 17th straight win over Rutgers (5-3, 2-2).

Austin also scored on an 80-yard run and Shawne Alston scored on runs of 52 and 2 yards for West Virginia, which earlier this week announced its intention to leave the Big East and join the Big 12 next season.

Freshman Gary Nova threw two touchdown passes for the Scarlet Knights, who were blanked in the second half after putting up a season high for points in the opening half.

Garcia leads by two shots at Andalucia Masters

No. 15 Virginia Tech 14, Duke 10 DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — David Wilson rushed for 148 yards and Virginia Tech overcame a sloppy performance to win its Atlantic Coast Conference-record 11th straight road game.

Logan Thomas was 17 of 28 for 190 yards with two interceptions and a 2-yard touchdown pass to Eric Martin. Josh Oglesby added a 1-yard scoring run for the Coastal Division-leading Hokies (8-1, 4-1).

They entered as 15-point favorites, were sluggish and inefficient throughout, yet came up with enough plays to claim their fourth straight victory. Virginia Tech rolled up 433 yards and gave up 326 to Duke.

Sean Renfree was 17 of 35 passing for 204 yards but was intercepted three times

SOTOGRANDE, Spain (AP) — Sergio Garcia put himself in position for a second straight European Tour victory on Saturday, shooting a 4-under 67 at the Andalucia Masters to take a two-stroke lead after the third round.

Garcia had to remove his shoes and socks for a shot during an eventful round that moved him to 6 under 207, ahead of Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) and Sweden’s Christian Nilsson, who matched the lowest round this weekend with a 65.

Overnight leader Richie Ramsay of Scotland bogeyed the last two holes for a 73 that left him three strokes adrift.

The 31st ranked Garcia won the Castello Masters last weekend to end a nearly three-

The 26th annual Ritter and Company Pecos Valley Roundup, featuring the Bruce Ritter Memorial 20K, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 5, at 8 a.m. at Cahoon Park.

The event will also have a 10K run and walk, and a 2-mile run and walk.

year title drought.

Garcia nearly hit a hole-in-one at No. 6 as he collected one of six birdies at the famed Valderrama course.

“It’s been a very positive day, a really solid round,” Garcia said. “That birdie at No. 6 was important after three-putting the fifth for a bogey, and to also finish off with a birdie at the 18th following that bogey at 17, those are the kind of things that keep you at the top.”

Garcia drove the bunker at the par-5 17th and looked to have found the lake guarding the green with his second shot. But his ball came to rest on a rock and he strode into the pond in his bare feet to play from the hazard, missing the green and then failing to get up and down.

But playing partner Ramsay also failed to make par at the Los Gabiones’ hole for Garcia to keep his two-shot advantage.

“It obviously was risky, but I liked my chances better from there to get up and down than the drop zone,” said Garcia, who has finished runner-up at Valderrama three times. “Tomorrow’s going to be a very tough day, we all know how difficult Valderrama is; at any moment it can catch you.”

Like Garcia, Jimenez is looking to become the first Spaniard to win a stroke play event at the cork tree-lined course, and the cigar-puffing Jimenez holed a pitch shot for an eagle-3 at No. 4 before claiming another eagle at the 11th after rolling in a 2footer following a near perfect 246-yard approach shot.

“I need to hole some more putts,” Jimenez said on the European Tour’s official website. “I’m not on good terms with my putter these days. We are fighting a battle and the putter is going to lose.”

Garcia will qualify for next week’s WGCHSBC Champions in Shanghai with a victory.

Defending champion Graeme McDowell was at 14 over after a round of 81.

McIlroy takes 3-stroke lead in Shanghai Masters

SHANGHAI (AP) — U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy shot a 7-under 65 on Saturday to increase his lead to three strokes after the third round of the Shanghai Masters.

The 22-year-old star from Northern Ireland made seven birdies in another bogey-free round on Lake Malaren’s Jack Nicklaus-designed Masters course to finish at 18-under 198.

“Another good day on the course!

Excited to have a chance to get another win this year!” McIlroy tweeted, adding the hashtag “itsbeentoolong.”

American Anthony Kim was second after a 65. He’s coming off a third-place finish last week in the Asian Tour event in South Korea.

South Korea’s Noh Seung-yul was 14 under after a 67.

Ian Poulter (67) and Hunter Mahan (68) were 11 under, second-ranked Lee Westwood (70) and Geoff Ogilvy (66) were another stroke back, and Robert Karlsson (72), Padraig Harrington (73) and Y.E. Yang (68) were 6 under.

Louis Oosthuizen struggled in the windy, overcast conditions, shooting a 76 to finish at 4 under. The 2010 British Open champion had a double bogey on the par-5 13th and made four bogeys.

The 30 players are vying for the $2 million first prize, the richest in golf. All the top players are getting appearance money, and last place pays $25,000. Because the International Management Group-run event isn’t sanctioned by a major tour, it doesn’t have world-ranking points.

Bo Van Pelt leads Asia Pacific Classic

SELANGOR, Malaysia (AP) — Bo Van Pelt shot a 4-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over fellow Indiana player Jeff Overton after the third round of the Asia Pacific Classic.

Van Pelt, the winner of the PGA Tour’s 2009 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee, had a 16-under 197 total at The Mines in the second-year event sanctioned by the PGA Tour and Asian Tour.

“I just love to play to compete,” Van Pelt said “It’s not about the money. That’s what gets my juices flowing. Like my grandpa always told me, ‘You can’t take it with you.’

“Obviously, any time you’re near the lead with 18 to go, you’re excited. That’s why we practice and why we enter tournaments.

That’s all you can ask for, to have a chance to win on Sunday. It’s exciting, and I’m looking forward to it. It’s been a while since I won a golf tournament, so it would be great.”

Overton, tied for second-round lead with Sweden’s Fredrik Jacobson after a courserecord 62, had a 69.

“It wasn’t my day on the greens,” Overton said “Didn’t make anything.”

Overton noted the Hoosier connection at the top of the leaderboard.

“It’s crazy,” Overton said. “We’re from the same state, Indiana, and probably the only two players in the field or on tour from Indiana. To actually come all the way here, a 12-hour time change, halfway around the world to play golf with each other, it’ll be fun.”

Jacobson (71) and Mark Wilson (67) were 13 under.

Van Pelt bogeyed the opening two holes, but countered with birdies on Nos. 3 and 5.

He also birdied the 12th and made three more on Nos. 15-17.

“I didn’t make a big deal after bogeying the opening two holes,” the former

Three-time major winner Vijay Singh followed his second-round 64 with a 66 to join Jason Dufner (65) and Malaysia’s Danny Chia (6) at 11 under.

“I guess the expectation is building up now,” Chia said. “Every day when I begin my round, I don’t really think about the result. I just want to play my golf. I only started looking at the leaderboard on the second last hole and told myself, ‘Hey, I still got an outside chance.’”

Joe Paterno sets Division I wins record B4 Sunday, October 30, 2011

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — In bright white letters against a blue background, the electronic sign boards around Beaver Stadium took note of another milestone for Joe Paterno long after the stands had cleared.

“Congratulations Coach Paterno,” the signs read.

“Winningest Coach In Division I College Football.”

It took all 60 minutes on a snowy, sloppy Saturday in Happy Valley, but JoePa broke Eddie Robinson’s record with victory No. 409 as No. 21 Penn State defeated Illinois 10-7.

The Nittany Lions (8-1, 50 Big Ten) overcame six fumbles — losing two — with Silas Redd’s 3-yard touchdown run with 1:08 to go. Penn State’s only touchdown came after Illinois corner Justin Green was whistled for pass interference while breaking up a fourth-down pass for Derek Moye in the end zone.

Illinois (6-3, 2-3) drove from its 17 to the Penn State 25 on the next drive, but Derek Dimke’s 42-yard field goal attempt bounced off the right upright as time expired.

Even JoePa was nervous in the press box before Penn State’s last drive.

Paterno coached upstairs since he’s still got a sore right leg, shoulder and pelvis following an accidental preseason hit.

“Did I have any doubts,”

SPORTS

he asked rhetorically with a chuckle. “Sure I had doubts ... but it worked out anyway.”

In a common occurrence over his remarkable 46-year career, Paterno was feted again with a postgame ceremony. School president Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley presented JoePa with a plaque that read, “Joe Paterno. Educator of Men. Winningest Coach. Division One Football.”

Among all coaches, Paterno now only trails John Gagliardi, still active at Division III St. John’s, Minn., with 481 victories.

“It really is something I’ve very proud of, to be associated with Eddie Robinson,” Paterno said in a brief postgame ceremony in the media room broadcast to fans still waiting in the stands 10 minutes later.

“Something like this means a lot to me, an awful lot.

But there’s a lot of other people I’ve got to thank.”

Start with Redd, the budding star who had a careerhigh 30 carries for 137 yards for Penn State, none bigger than his late TD run.

An early-season snowstorm had fans bundled up in winter parkas and hoodies. The offenses seemed to be frozen stiff.

After struggling most of the afternoon, quarterback Matt McGloin drove Penn State from their own 20 to the Illini 32 on three long

completions before the pass interference call gave the Nittany Lions a second chance.

“I thought it was a good play myself,” frustrated Illini coach Ron Zook said.

“But obviously (the referee) thought ... I don’t know, I didn’t ask him.”

Redd capitalized four plays later by barreling into the end zone, the crowd erupting in delight.

Jason Ford rushed for 100 yards on 24 carries but Illinois couldn’t capitalize on a slew of Penn State mistakes in a defensive slugfest.

Illlinois outgained Penn State 286-209. After a quiet start, Illinois’ pass rush turned up the heat in the second half, getting 2.5 sacks combined from standout ends Michael Buchanan and Whitney Mercilus.

Still, the Illini’s offense wasn’t much better than Penn State, but they got just enough in the third quarter from scrambling quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase to scratch out a 10yard touchdown pass to Spencer Harris for a 7-0 lead.

Illinois’ defense held firm from there until Penn State’s late TD drive.

Moye, back after missing two games because of a left foot injury, dropped a thirddown pass to groans from the crowd on the winning drive. McGloin went for Moye on fourth down with

New Mexico’s Dante Caro (31) fends off Air Force’s Anthony LaCoste (37) during the Falcons’ win over the Lobos at University Stadium in Albuquerque, Saturday.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — When Air Force quarterback Tim Jefferson went out in the first quarter with an injury against New Mexico, there was no reason for the Falcons to panic.

Backup Connor Dietz took over and led the Falcons to a 42-0 victory against the winless Lobos on Saturday.

“It was one of those times where Tim went down and I had to step up for my team,” Dietz said. “They all made it really easy for me to come in. They all did their part, which just makes my job that much easier.”

Dietz led the Falcons (4-4, 1-3 Mountain West) to 335 rushing yards, running for 87 on six carries, including a 39-yard burst up the middle with a minute remaining in the first half that put them up 35-0.

“It was just a draw,” he said of the long score. “The defense was playing back and our offensive line had some great blocks and our fullback led up on the linebacker. It made my running lane pretty easy so all I

had to do was run forward.

“As a ball carrier, that’s the best feeling you can have, because you see daylight and green and all you have to do is not get touched.”

Fullback Mike DeWitt had four touchdown runs for Air Force.

“We’re fortunate to have an awesome backup quarterback,” he said. “He does a great job. He’s always ready and getting warm on the sideline and he did a great job today. It’s not good to lose your starting quarterback but it’s nothing big so I’m sure he’ll be back in there. It was just business as usual.”

Air Force coach Troy Calhoun also had no qualms about putting Dietz out there.

“To be able to have Connor Dietz available and to be able to help us as a football team is a real plus,” he said.

New Mexico (0-8, 0-3) had 63 yards from Crusoe Gongbay on 10 carries. The Lobos totaled 223 yards in getting shut out for a second straight week.

Penn State coach Joe Paterno talks with reporters after recording his 409th career victory to pass the legendary Eddie Robinson as the all-time winningest NCAA Division I football coach.

Penn State beat Illinois 10-7 to give JoePa the record-breaking victory.

1:31 left, and the ball bounced off the receiver’s hands in the end zone — but there was contact and the inter ference penalty gave Penn State another chance.

Zook could only wince on the sideline as a once-quiet Penn State crowd burst back to life.

“They were just able to find their receivers. They weren’t able to do that all game, we pretty much got them all game,” Buchanan said. “As a D-line, we weren’t able to get pressure on the quarterback that we wanted to. So it was pretty much on us.”

Illinois’ struggling offense

couldn’t get untracked again early, going scoreless in the first half for a third straight game. They wasted opportunities deep in Penn State territory following fumbles by Redd at his own 37 in the first half, and quarterback Rob Bolden at the 29 late in the second half.

On that drive, Illinois receiver R yan Lankford made a pretty tiptoe catch along the sideline from backup quarterback Riley O’Toole for a 12-yard gain to the 12. The play was upheld by replay — and fans in the student section showed their displeasure by tossing snowballs on the

field.

The snowballs missed the players — much like most of the passes Saturday.

McGloin was 9 of 24 for 98 yards, while Bolden missed all four of his pass attempts, all in the second quarter.

Scheelhaase finished 9 of 16 for 63 yards, and ran 14 times for 89 yards.

After the game, Paterno had one last message to the frigid fans outside before they headed to the exits in relief.

“For all the fans out there, thanks for sitting through that today,” Paterno said half-jokingly, “You’ve got to be nuts!”

OK State blasts Baylor

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — When it mattered the most, No. 3 Oklahoma State made every yard seem like the longest yard for Robert Griffin III and Baylor.

Joseph Randle set careerhighs by running for 152 yards and four touchdowns, Justin Blackmon matched his career best with 13 catches for 172 yards and two scores and the Cowboys carried a shutout into the fourth quarter of a 59-24 win over the Bears on Saturday.

Brodrick Brown recovered two fumbles, and Daytawion Lowe and Justin Gilbert had interceptions as the Cowboys (8-0, 5-0 Big 12) forced five turnovers and stopped the Bears twice on fourthand-1.

“I think at that point, you just have to dig deep and just find something inside of you to not let them in the end zone,” safety Markelle Martin said. “Let’s not make it easy on them.”

Far from it.

The Cowboys ran out to a 35-0 halftime advantage that was hardly indicative of how competitive the game was, but Baylor came up with absolutely nothing out of a series of promising drives.

The Bears (4-3, 1-3) were stuffed on fourth-and-1 twice, including on the goal line on their opening drive, and Gilbert picked off one of Griffin’s passes in the end zone on third-and-goal from the 5. Aaron Jones also continued his struggles, missing a 48-yard field goal.

The Bears got inside the Oklahoma State 35-yard line on each of their first five drives and then found a way to give the ball back without getting any points.

“Sickening comes to mind because you know how important it is to punch it in in that situation,” coach Art Briles said. “It’s not like you are going to pitch a shutout game against them but you certainly better match scores when you have opportunities and we did not.”

That’s nothing new for the Cowboys.

turnover margin and added to their Bowl Subdivision lead in interceptions by picking off their 16th and 17th of the season.

Glasco Martin also fumbled inside the 1-yard line in the third quarter, setting up Oklahoma State’s second 99-yard touchdown drive of the game.

“They didn’t want to give anything up,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “We talk to them all the time about fighting right ‘til the end.”

The Cowboys started a season with eight straight wins for only the second time in school history. The other time was in 1945, when they finished the season 9-0, won the Sugar Bowl and were ranked fifth in the final poll.

“It’s a sweet feat,” said quarterback Brandon Weeden, who had 274 yards passing and three touchdowns without any interceptions.

“But last year we were talking about winning 11 games and how exciting that was, and we’re not there yet. We’ve still got a lot left on our plate.”

Griffin threw for 425 yards to end up 5 shy of his career best set last week. In a matchup of two of the

nation’s top three offenses, the Bears’ second-ranked attack outgained Oklahoma State’s third-ranked unit 622-601 but the scoreboard was lopsided the opposite way.

Baylor didn’t get into the end zone until the first play of the fourth quarter, when Terrance Ganaway’s 18yard scamper made it 4910.

“The score is crazy,” Ganaway said. “It looks lopsided but ... if we don’t have any turnovers and finish in the red zone, it’s a whole new ballgame. That’s what we have to work on. We have to make sure we’re taking care of the ball and playing smart.”

To start the game, Griffin drove the Bears 68 yards with relative ease to set up first-and-goal at the 2.

Three running plays later, they had only made it to the 1 and Briles decided to give it to Ganaway once more.

“For us, it’s just pride right there. There’s no space to worry about. It’s just you versus that guy in front of you,” Martin said.

“So for us, it’s that battle that you want every day.

You don’t have to worry about nothing else, just you and the guy in front of you.”

Key NFC East game in Philly SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

It’s only Week 8, yet the future of one contender/pretender could be decided in the NFC East.

The loser of Dallas’ visit to Philadelphia will be at a distinct disadvantage in the wide-open division.

And as the Cowboys and Eagles have proven this season, both are capable of falling apart.

Yet each team feels it has turned a corner. Philly (24) broke a four-game slide by beating Washington, then healed up during its bye week. Dallas (3-3) just as easily could be 6-0 if it could figure out how to protect a late lead.

“We believe we’re a good team,” Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. “But we’ve got to go do it because .500 is not going to cut it. You’ve got to continue to get better.”

Dallas surely got better with its running game last week as DeMarco Murray sped to a franchise-record 253 yards rushing, second only to Adrian Peterson’s 296 among rookies in NFL history.

“The best teams peak at the right time. That’s what we need to do,” Witten added.

The Cowboys also have the best run defense in the league, and guess who has the top rushing offense.

Yep, the Eagles, thanks greatly to Michael Vick’s unparalleled maneuverability at quarterback.

All of which makes for a spicy confrontation that could have long-ter m effects on the division.

“It’s a big game for us.

Each team (knows) what’s at stake this time,” Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. “It’s going to be one of those long, drawnout, beat-down games.

We’ve got to go up there and get a win.”

Miami (0-6) at New York Giants (4-2) The Dolphins aren’t in any better shape on this trip to the New Jersey Meadowlands than they were two weeks ago, when they fell to the Jets. In fact, they probably are worse off following that late collapse against Denver.

Expecting Miami to end its slide against the rested Giants, who likely get back several key players, especially DE Justin Tuck and RB Brandon Jacobs, is a reach.

New York leads the NFC East and given the Redskins’ difficult game Sunday and the Cowboys visiting Philadelphia, the Giants could pick up some ground with a win.

Washington (3-3) vs.

Buffalo (4-2) at Toronto The Bills’ “home” game in Canada is not a welcomed occasion for safety George Wilson.

“The fan support in Toronto is a night-and-day difference from what we have in Buffalo,” he said. “For the most part, it’s a show. You see just as many jerseys for the opposing teams as you do the Bills. They cheer for any big play regardless of whichever team makes it.”

Buffalo has made a lot more big plays than Washington, which has lost two straight, made a quarterback change from Rex Grossman to John Beck, and is severely banged-up.

Even ironman linebacker London Fletcher is in shaky shape. Fletcher has never missed a game in his 14year NFL career, with a streak of 214 straight appearances, but is bothered by a hamstring problem.

Meanwhile, the Bills come off a bye hoping to extend their dominance of the Skins to six straight.

Sounds like they’d prefer to try at Ralph Wilson Stadium, not the Rogers Centre.

decade, although it’s been decidedly one-sided in favor of Tom Brady and company.

“Some of our greatest games that we’ve ever played have been against them,” Brady said.

Brady is 6-1 against the Steelers, with 14 touchdown passes, three interceptions and a 104.8 passer rating. Pittsburgh’s blitzes and shifting schemes don’t confuse the two-time league MVP, and Ben Roethlisberger tends to struggle against Bill Belichick’s defense.

However, the current New England defense is vulnerable, which could lead to a shootout if Brady’s mastery over the Steel Curtain continues.

“As the league evolves and you’ve got to keep up with teams like New England scoring 60 points a game,” Roethlisberger said, “it’s part of the evolution.”

San Diego (4-2) at Kansas City (3-3) MNF When October began, the Chiefs were a mess, 0-3, stagnant on offense, leaky on defense and beaten up all over. Coach Todd Haley found the right spark, though — helped by a sideline shouting match with quarterback Matt Cassel in the team’s first victory, at Minnesota.

KC has won three straight and by beating the enigmatic Chargers at Arrowhead, the Chiefs will be tied atop the AFC West with San Diego and idle Oakland.

“We never bowed our head and thought the season was done like some people did,” cor nerback Brandon Flowers said. “We just knew if we kept pushing, things would tur n around for us.

“It’s going to be a great showdown Monday night.”

The Chargers showed why they come up short in the championship chase despite all their talent by blowing a 21-10 lead at the Jets last weekend.

Cleveland (3-3) at San Francisco (5-1) Following their third straight road win, the last thing the Niners needed was a bye. Still, coach Jim Harbaugh will keep the fires bur ning, even if it means back-slapping an assistant coach too hard.

San Francisco is in an enviable position if it can take advantage of a relatively easy schedule that could yield a division crown by Thanksgiving. It needs to keep dominating on the ground (second against the rush, sixth running the ball) and cherishing the ball — only six giveaways, second in the league behind the Lions’ five.

Cleveland has won three in a row in the series but must find some of fense.

Only winless Miami and St. Louis have scored fewer points among teams that have played six games.

Detroit (5-2) at Denver (2-4) Things suddenly aren’t motoring along so well in Motown. The Lions lost two straight at Ford Field, tight games in which the opponent made the key plays. Now they head to Denver, where Tebowmania has the city 8 miles high.

Tebow came up with all the big plays down the stretch — actually the last

six minutes of regulation — after flopping for much of the day in Miami. But he produced a victory, snapping the Broncos’ three-game slide, and made this matchup more interesting.

The Broncos could be in decent shape if Lions QB Matthew Staf ford (right ankle) and RB Jahvid Best (concussion) are limited or absent.

Arizona (1-5) at Baltimore (4-2) The Ravens come off a hideous offensive performance — Jacksonville deserves credit for its defensive play in that game, but Ray Rice got only eight carries — and now faces a team that ranks 28th against the pass. Arizona has yielded the third-most points among teams that have played six games, and isn’t more efficient on offense.

Indeed, the Cardinals are minus-5 in turnover margin and the Ravens are plus-4.

Expect Rice to be heavily involved for Baltimore this time.

“He’s got to get more than eight carries,” coach John Harbaugh said.

“Eight carries is never going to be a winning formula for Ray Rice, there’s no doubt about it.”

New Orleans (5-2) at St. Louis (0-6) Even at full strength, something the Rams haven’t enjoyed all season, this might be a mismatch.

Now, with Sam Bradford nursing a high left ankle sprain, adding to all of St. Louis’ injury woes, the Saints might go for another 62 points.

Then again, New Orleans will want to get out of St. Loo healthy and with another win before facing consecutive games against division rivals Tampa Bay and Atlanta. So maybe Drew Brees and the boys get only 42 points.

Jacksonville (2-5) at Houston (4-3) Coming off their upset of the Ravens, the Jaguars present a defensive challenge — if not much else — to the Texans, who won a statement game in Nashville last Sunday.

Houston was spiraling and ravaged by injuries before it got well in the Music City to take control of the weak AFC South.

“I felt very strongly that this would be a good, solid defense for us this year, and we’re nearing the midway point, and I think that it’s obvious that it is and has been, and we’re going to need to be even better through the second half of the season,” Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said.

Houston hopes to get star WR Andre Johnson back, but the key could be the running game. Arian

Foster and Ben Tate both rushed for more than 100 yards against the Titans, and Foster added 119 yards receiving while scoring three times in a showing reminiscent of his breakout 2010 season.

Cincinnati (4-2) at Seattle (2-4) A Bengals victory and defeats by Baltimore and Pittsburgh would lift Cincinnati into a tie for the AFC North lead — heady territory for a rebuilding franchise.

Cincinnati has won three straight and its defense ranks second in yardage allowed, the main reason for the overall improvement. Its seven fumble recoveries rank second overall and its 14 sacks bode poorly for Seattle, whether Tarvaris Jackson or Charlie Whitehurst is the quarterback. The Seahawks have given up 23 sacks, tied with the Rams for the most surrendered.

Minnesota (1-6) at Carolina (2-5) A “veteran” rookie quarterback, Cam Newton, against a newbie rookie, Christian Ponder.

Newton has been tearing up the NFL, on pace for several rookie records and helping the Panthers look respectable even while

occupying the bottom of the NFC South. He led them past the Redskins last Sunday and has seven TDs rushing already. That ranks second in the league and ties the full-season rookie mark (since the 1970 merger) set by Vince Young in 2006.

Ponder made a nice starting debut in a loss to Green Bay, never looking over matched — just as Newton has not been all season. He threw for two TDs and led the Vikings to a season-high 435 yards total offense.

Indianapolis (0-7) at Tennessee (3-3) Both teams would like to erase Oct. 23 from their calendars. Tennessee was routed 41-7 at home by Houston, yet that was 21 points better than the performance the Colts provided in New Orleans, a 62-7 gouging.

Until last week, Indy seemed to be getting closer to a win, and the T itans had the look of a contender. Each of them needs to consider those embarrassments a one-week issue and not let the negativism fester.

Indianapolis has won five in a row against Tennessee. Of course, some guy named Peyton was on the field for those games.

Cain momentum continues; South could be key HOMEWOOD, Ala. (AP) — Herman Cain’s rise in the polls appears to be no fluke.

Unlike some other Republican presidential contenders who have flamed out fast after auditioning as the conservative antidote to Mitt Romney, Cain is still riding high atop public opinion surveys.

“They said I was the flavor of the week,” the Georgia businessman said at an appearance Friday on a campaign swing through Alabama. “But four weeks later the Cain campaign still tastes good!”

Cain lacks the money and organization of his toptier GOP competitors. But, so far, he’s survived several high-profile campaign blunders and an onslaught of attacks on his signature 9-9-9 tax overhaul plan.

And despite the sudden rise to the top tier of the GOP, Cain is still doing things his own way.

He’s carving out an unorthodox — and some say impossible — path to the White House, largely eschewing early voting

states to focus heavily on the South — where tea party groups, social conservatives and evangelical voters that make up the backbone of his support hold sway. It’s been weeks since Cain has set foot in Iowa or New Hampshire. Instead, he’s barnstormed through Tennessee and Alabama, states that don’t hold primaries until March.

“The South looks very, very good for us,” Mark Block, Cain’s campaign manager, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “Do the early states matter? Of course. But they are not everything.”

Block argues that next year’s compressed primary calendar means more states will play larger roles.

So instead of tromping around New Hampshire trying to win over skeptics, the campaign team is revving up support in states where Cain’s small government, anti-tax message and church revivalstyle delivery resonate with voters.

Cain was trying to show that in Alabama, which won’t hold its primary until

March 13, and where he was greeted with enthusiastic over flow crowds at every stop. In Talladega, residents were visibly excited by the first visit from a presidential candidate in modern memory.

“I heard that FDR waved from the train once when he came through,” said Jeanne Rasco, who had tur ned out for a packed Cain rally at a historic theater on the city square.

“I think it shows he cares about our values. He’s one of us,” she said.

Cain himself plays up his Southern roots: His drawl grows a little thicker and he mentions God a little more frequently, to suit the crowd.

“I am in Alabama because Alabama matters,” Cain said at the state’s party headquarters. “Ya’ll are my neighbors.”

And in the South, some Cain supporters say that supporting an AfricanAmerican could turn longheld racial perceptions around. No Deep South states supported Barack Obama in 2008 and elected representatives in the state

NEW YORK (AP) — Scor es of people waved tiny flags after taking the oath of U.S. citizenship at the foot of the Statue of Liberty on Friday, 125 years after the iconic American symbol welcoming visitors and immigrants was dedicated.

The new Americans, 125 immigrants from 46 countries, pledged to renounce foreign power, then posed for photos with their citizenship certificates.

The birthday party concluded Friday with a 12minute fireworks display choreographed to patriotic music.

“I feel like if you live in a place, you should have a say in the politics,” said Paul Currie, who moved to the U.S. from South Africa eight years ago. “Other-

wise, you’re an outsider.”

Silvia Hodges, who came to the U.S. from Germany in 1999, said the ceremony made her feel “like I belong here — and I really want to vote.”

The Statue of Liberty, a gift from France, was conceived to symbolize the friendship between the two countries and a shar ed love of liberty.

President Glover Cleveland dedicated the statue on Oct. 28, 1886.

“What folks are doing is listening to what is he saying and he is not afraid to

But is the Cain bubble going to burst?

Cain himself says no and mocks rumors that he’s simply in the race to promote his brand.

Genealogy Wilson-Cobb Research Library, History and Genealogy Est. 1999

MARTHA D. URQUIDES-STAAB VISTAS EDITOR

As people work day by day and let time pass, thoughts may not occur to them on who they are or where they came from. Sure, people know of their close relatives but may not know what’s beyond that. Genealogy has become a way for people to trace back their ancestry. Recently, shows like “Who do you think you are?” sends celebrities on a journey to find their ancestry. Commercials come on frequently advertising ancestory.com, my heritage and several others pursuing people to find out who they really are.

Luckily for those who don’t feel comfortable doing it on-line they can have the guidance at the Wilson-Cobb Research Library.

The Wilson-Cobb History and Genealogy Library is a stand-alone special collection library that was established in 1999. It was organized to serve the historical and genealogical needs of the residents of Roswell and the surrounding areas. The library is governed by a board of directors and operates through donations, memberships, grants and fundraising events.

The birth of the library occurred when Sharie Chesser, who is currently the treasurer on the library board, traveled to Lovington during her own genealogy quests and, on her way

home, she said, to herself, “Roswell would benefit from a library so people won’t have to travel so far to get their information.”

When she got back into town she set out to find ways of starting one up in Roswell. The first location was on Hemlock and Second St. That location was short-lived and now the library resides at 301 S. Richardson. The library has close to 400 people per year come through its doors and a majority are out-of-town residents.

The library has a high volume of research materials of great quality for this area.

“It’s about starting to look and going from there,” said Kay Lewis, second vice president of the library board.

Lewis has tracked down her own genealogy and it has taken her into the Midwest.

“It’s amazing how many people out there are so helpful when you go to your ancestor’s town and you tell them what you’re doing. It’s a wonderful journey on finding out where you come from and the places it takes you,” said Lewis.

Chesser agrees that the dead ancestors have a way of helping them along the way. In many cases it takes someone’s death to start looking to the past.

“I wish I had started doing genealogy at an earlier time when my parents were alive because then I could go back and ask the questions they may

know the answers to,” said Chesser.

This year the genealogy library will be hosting a workshop Nov, 5 at the Westminster Presbyterian Church with special guest Tomas W. Jones, Ph.D., CG, CGL, FASG,FUGA, and FNGS. The workshop is called Unsolved Mysteries and it’s open to the public interested in tracing back their ancestry. One interesting thing Dr. Jones will focus on is solving the mystery of the disappearing ancestor. He will go into details on why ancestors seem to have disappeared, examples of each from actual case studies, and suggested strategies to help find elusive ancestors. He will also give tips on how to organize evidence to overcome record shortages. Frustration can occur when there is a shortage of records and surviving records that do not specify relationships. He will offer the six steps to use to bypass those shortages and identify ancestors successfully.

“Books and Things” is the largest genealogical book vendor in the southwest and will be present at the workshop with over 3,000 books. Since a small percentage of records can be found on the internet, this is a great opportunity to find information that may have been blocking a search.

Registration for the workshop is $45 and will begin at the workshop at 8:30 a.m. For more information on the genealogy workshop or the WilsonCobb research library call 622-3322. vistas@roswell-record.com

Our personal history is part of our national history, and we should pass it on to our children with great reverence because it is not just who we were, but who we are.

The viewing of porn can have devastating effects on adults Q: My neighbor’s son has repeatedly been caught viewing por nography on their computer, and he almost has her convinced that it’s just another form of entertainment and that “all the guys do it.” How can I help her get through to her son -- and convince them both that this is a serious issue?

Jim: This is one of the most critical problems facing families, because pornography is so easily accessible to anyone with a computer or a smart phone. Every day at Focus on the Family, we hear from people torn apart by porn. As soon as possible, I’d encourage your neighbor and her son to seek help from a counselor or pastor.

How can you convince them to take this step?

There is a wide range of sociological evidence pointing to the destructive influence of por nography. In

other words, this isn’t just an issue of concern for socalled “religious people.”

T ime magazine recently reported: “In recent years, a number of psychologists and sociologists have joined the chorus of religious and political opponents in warning about the impact of pervasive pornography.

They argue that por n is transforming sexuality and relationships -- for the worse.”

Consider, for example, a 2003 study by the Matrimonial Lawyers Association. It found that 56 percent of divorce cases involve one partner with an obsessive interest in por nography. Marriage (and divorce) may be the last thing on your neighbor’s son’s mind at this point, but he’s fooling himself if he thinks he’ll be able to easily ditch his porn habit after getting married.

And his ability to for m healthy dating relation-

ships in the years leading up to marriage will be seriously hindered as well.

Behind the statistics, there are scores of real people whose lives have been damaged by porn. It’s not a joke. It’s not entertainment.

It destroys families, it shatters marriages, it degrades both men and women, and it distorts the God-given gift of sex. Implore your friend and her son to seek help through a qualified family therapist. It’s one of the most important decisions they can make at this critical point in his life. ** ** ** Q: My husband has a

habit of keeping secrets from me or lying to me about little things. He’ll tell me that he had to work late when he actually went to see a movie with friends. Or he won’t tell me about a bonus he got at work. He’s a good husband and a moral person, but his lack of honesty makes me wonder if he’s keeping bigger secrets.

tion, your husband’s “little white lies” are inconsistent with his character. Perhaps he’s behaving this way with you as a means of avoiding conflict or asserting independence.

Your husband may feel like he doesn’t have the freedom to make decisions like going out with his friends or spending a little extra money. He may have lear ned as a child to respond to feeling controlled by being “passiveaggressive.” In other words, he wouldn’t stand up to his parents or say “no,” but he would quietly and secretly do his own thing. Your husband has probably transferred this approach into your marriage. Rather than call and explain to you that he wants to go out to a movie, he avoids the conversation and potential conflict by doing what he wants and covering it with a lie.

Although the “issues” at

hand are small, they represent larger problems in your marriage dynamics that need to be discussed and resolved. A few sessions with a marriage counselor can help you identify and address these dynamics. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

Crafts add zing to Halloween, even at last minute

Has Halloween crept up on you?

Maybe you’ve already bought the candy and figured out the kids’ costumes, but have you put an iota of thought into your own costume, or how to decorate — at least a little — for the holiday?

Fortunately, some magazine editors work throughout the year to add fright and fantasy to our spookiest holiday, including ideas that can be done on the fly.

(Want to go as a fly? That probably can be figured out, too.)

What’s most important?

The costume. For adults, that means coming up with something witty and easy to pull together. Thank you, “Real Simple” magazine.

The October issue includes 13 costumes that play on puns.

“These are for the trickor-treaters who are up for a quick costume, and for the adults who want to join in on the fun,” says Mary Kate McGrath, a “Real Simple” senior editor.

A few of the ideas: Wear a white chef’s hat and apron, and carry an iron (real or toy). What are you? An iron chef.

Tape a $1 bill to each ear to be a buccaneer.

On a black T -shirt and pants, make a line of dashes with white duct tape, starting at a bottom pant leg and ending at the shirt neckline, to simulate highway-lane dividing lines.

Fasten a plastic fork across the dashes on the shirt to be a “fork in the road.”

For children, attach small stuffed cats and dogs to the outside of an open umbrella for it to “rain cats and dogs.” Or dress the entire family in athletic clothes and sneakers and hand everyone a musical instrument to become a “band on the run.”

“I like that one because you get to stay cozy,” says McGrath.

For more elaborate but still quick-to-make costuming, turn to the pages of “Martha Stewart Halloween,” which this year

features Stewart decked out as a giant moth. Hers and other costumes, such as The Vanishing Man and a Teen Werewolf, pay tribute to classic B movies.

While each costume comes with instructions, Marci McGoldrick, editorial director of Holiday & Crafts for “Martha Stewart Living,” says details can be used separately or for inspiration. For example, the werewolf’s claws are presson nails that have been trimmed pointy and painted black — you also could use them for a vampire’s or witch’s costume.

These costumes use clip art and templates downloaded from the “Martha Stewart Living” website.

“I think a lot of adults don’t like to do the full costume,” McGoldrick acknowledges.

The website also has ideas for Halloween decorations, games, treats and candy bags, including a brown-bag broom for candy favors.

For trick-or -treat bag

ideas, the October issue of “Better Homes & Gardens” includes a decorated paint can and plastic beach pail.

Its most functional idea: Glue a ghost cut from a sheet of white foam to a reusable grocery bag, preferably black.

“It’s all about inspiration,” says Bridget Sandquist, “Better Homes & Gardens” editorial director for Holiday & Celebrations. “Hopefully, our ideas will trigger something (for our readers), and they can make it their own.”

If decorating for Halloween seems overwhelming, focus on the front door and the fireplace mantle, says Sandquist. She recommends decorating with what’s already at hand to create focal points on the mantle and throughout the home — candlesticks with white or black tapers, vases filled with autumn color, and glass jars teeming with Halloween candy. Throw in a few paper bats hung by lightweight fishing line.

For a quick holiday lift to

the front door, hang butcher paper and let kids decorate it with colored markers, says McGrath. That also works as a table runner, and keeps children busy. A step further: Fill white balloons with helium and draw ghostly faces on them. Attach the balloons to the butcher paper, or add string and hang them from outdoor lights and the door handle.

For some, it’s not Halloween without a carved pumpkin, but McGrath suggests sticking silver bulletin-board tacks into a pumpkin to design a face, house numbers or any abstract shape.

“It’s very glisten-y and fancy,” say McGrath. “And it takes about three minutes.”

Her other pumpkin-decorating ideas: Cover real or craft-store pumpkins with chalkboard or metallic paint, which come in spray cans.

NEW YORK (AP) — Everyone wants flawless skin, flat abs and a fab rear. But men don’t always admit it.

So, companies that sell products promising to help guys lose weight, conceal bloat and enhance skin have to walk a fine line between men’s vanity and masculinity. But how do you market moisturizer to the Marlboro Man? Dove plays the theme song to the 1930s TV western “The Lone Ranger” and compares guys’ skin with cowhide in commercials for its men’s shower gel.

Weight Watchers uses TV spots with trimmed-down singer Jennifer Hudson to market to women, but opts for average Joes talking about drinking beer and grilling meat in ads for its weight loss program for men. Dr Pepper is more overt in ads for its diet soda

targeted toward men with the tagline: “It’s not for women.”

The ads come as guys are succumbing to growing pressure to suck in their guts and hide their blemishes. In one of the biggest signs that men are more image-conscious, the number of chemical peels, laser hair removal and other cosmetic procedures on men is up 45 percent since 2000, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Fashion and pop culture have a lot to do with the change. The ultra-slim silhouette and skinny jeans that hit the high-fashion world several years ago have infiltrated men’s departments in mainstream stores like Banana Republic and Old Navy. And because of social media websites like Facebook and Twitter, men constantly are confronted with photos of

fit male celebs like singer Justin T imberlake and actor Will Smith.

Dove officials had that in mind when they launched a line of shower gels for men.

The brand, a unit of Unilever, had been synonymous with women since the 1950s. But when Dove rolled out the Men+Care line of lighter -scented shower gels, it used a more “manly” approach to marketing.

The “Manthem,” which was launched during the Super Bowl in 2010, showed a man’s journey through life from conception to age 30. In another ad, the theme music for “The Lone Ranger” plays as a deep male voice urges men to use Dove shower gel to moisturize their “man hide,” which it says dries out like cowhide. Then, the voiceover implores men to not be bashful: “Be com-

fortable in your own skin.”

Weight Watchers found that men respond better to real men — rather than women or celebs — in ads for its weight loss program.

In April, it launched its first national campaign targeting men, using ordinary fellas talking about its online “cheat sheets” that give tips on the healthiest ways to enjoy beer and grilled meats.

During the first five weeks of the campaign, the percentage of men using Weight Watchers online rose from about 8 percent to 15 percent of all users.

The company plans a new campaign early next year.

Cheryl Callan, chief marketing of ficer at Weight Watchers, said you have to market to men and women differently. For example, she says “men will not use the word ‘diet.”’

Many men also won’t use

the word ‘girdle.’ So, Spanx, which sells girdlelike products to slim physiques, made some changes when it launched its men’s line last year. To market its “compression” shirt, which is designed to make a man’s chest look fir mer, the company tweaked its packaging and website. Both feature a macho, superhero-like character named Blake to convey the idea that men can “do anything” and feel “powerful” while wearing Spanx.

As for whether the name is a deterrent for men?

Sales of Spanx for Men are about 40 percent better than the company expected, Goldman said, although she declined to give figures.

But sometimes marketing to men winds up irking the opposite sex.

After research showed that men think drinking

New Jersey” and host of HGTV’s new “Dina’s Party,” likes her pumpkins to sparkle. She combines real pumpkins with faux, decorating them similarly with crafting rhinestones, studs and spikes. Crafting stores sell these supplies in kits; for example, you can find rhinestone spider stickers.

“You don’t have to carve anymore,” says Manzo.

Plus, if using hard-foam craft pumpkins, “you can add to your collection every year.”

As for the fly costume, it can be bought, but just as easily made. There are lots of ideas posted online, and most include dressing in black from head to toe and bending wire — in some cases, a clothes hanger — into the shape of fly wings.

Cover them with black pantyhose, then attach them like a backpack with black ribbon.

“Family Fun” magazine’s website posts excellent images on how to do this for a “fanged fly” costume.

Men in advertisements, Marlboro Man meets moisturizer

diet soda is “girly,” Dr Pepper Snapple Group went out of its way to exclude women in marketing for its Dr Pepper Ten 10-calorie soda aimed at men. Ads for the “It’s not for women” campaign, which was rolled out earlier this month, show men in a fake action movie drinking Dr Pepper Ten. There’s also a “men only” Facebook page that features a game that allows guys to take target practice at lipstick and high heels. If you’re listed as female on Facebook, you can’t play.

Of ficials say the campaign has been well received, but an online petition to stop what critics say is “sexist” marketing lists more than 1,600 signatures.

Despite the controversy, Leslie Vesper, Dr Pepper’s brand manager, says: “The vast majority of our consumers get the joke.”

Burundi anxious over 51 dead soldiers in Somalia Roswell Daily Record

BUJUMBURA, Burundi (AP) — Egide Hatungimana was one of 51 Burundian soldiers killed in a firefight with al-Qaida-linked militants in Somalia last week, his brother says. But the body has not been delivered to his family, which only found out about the death in a call from a fellow soldier.

Intensified fighting in Somalia has underscored that tiny Burundi, one of only two nations contributing troops to an African Union force in the anarchic nation, is bearing a heavy burden with dozens of its soldiers reportedly killed in recent clashes.

Some Burundians say their country is sacrificing too much and are calling on other nations to assist.

Family members in the central African nation are awaiting word from the Burundian government, which has so far refused to publicly disclose its losses. The silence has angered families even as Burundi’s government is affirming its commitment to the AU mission in Somalia, calling on the troops to “increase effort and vigilance” until alShabab is defeated.

“I was expecting a prompt reaction from the government or army,” said Leonard Nininahazwe, the slain peacekeeper’s older brother. Nininahazwe wonders how to raise his brother’s 5-month-old son Joe, whose mother died giving birth to him.

The first Leonard heard of his brother’s death was when another Burundian soldier called him from Somalia, he said. He then went to a military office in Burundi, where he said he was shown a list with 51 names.

His brother’s name was on it, he said. The list seemed to be the names of those killed in last week’s fight for Mogadishu’s Deynile neighborhood.

Burundian troops took heavy losses in that battle. Afterward, insurgents displayed dozens of bodies to local journalists. One photographer said some were Somali but at least 19 others were clearly foreign and were wearing AU uniforms and body armor. The AU says 10 soldiers were killed and two are missing.

Burundi’s government spokesman Philip Nzobonariba acknowledged that “Burundi has lost soldiers,” but did not say how many.

Burundi, a nation of 10 million, supplies about half of the 9,000 AU peacekeepers in Somalia, a country that has been mired in war and anarchy for more than 20 years.

Conditions have improved since the Ugandan and Burundian troops were first deployed in 2007, when rations were so poor that some suffered from malnutrition. In 2009, 33 soldiers mutinied because their salaries had not been paid.

Rule change may help girls to throne Report: security LONDON — First came love, then came marriage.

But what if — someday — it’s a girl in Kate Middleton’s baby carriage?

If she’s the royal couple’s eldest child, new rules could push the princess to a prime place in history: the first girl to accede to the throne and beat out any younger brothers.

The Commonwealth countries agreed Friday to change centuries-old rules of succession that put male heirs on the throne ahead of any older sisters, following nations such as Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway that have scrapped male primogeniture.

The move is a baby step — the changes must still be approved by the legislatures of the 16 nations where she is head of state before they could take effect — but is seen as a triumph over outdated, sexist practices.

April’s lavish wedding of Prince William and Middleton — now known as Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge — renewed a decades-long debate over succession.

Middleton has rarely spoken about her plans for married life, but she did tell a well-wisher in Canada this summer that she hopes to start a family.

William has said the same.

Once her honeymoon was over, baby talk started, adding urgency to the dialogue, although officials insist that talk of a pregnancy is premature.

Historians think it’s about time the rules of the monarchy caught up with the times.

“You shouldn’t muck around too much with the constitution, but it’s a good idea to change this at this time,” said royal expert Hugo Vickers. “It’s much better to have it sorted out before any babies come along.”

The thorny issue of changing succession rules has been an on-and-off

The review started before William married commoner Kate Middleton in April.

William is second in line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles, who is the queen’s first-born child. Charles’ sister Anne is lower in the line of succession than her younger

brothers Andrew and Edward by virtue of their male gender.

Charles, in turn, had only sons, William and Prince Harry, so the issue of gender was never raised.

The new rules would only apply to future heirs and would have no impact on the current line to the throne.

In 2009, then Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s government considered a bill that would end the custom of putting males ahead of females in the succession line, as well as lift a ban on British monarchs marrying Roman Catholics. The government did not have time to pursue it before Brown’s left office.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Security has impr oved in Afghanistan but the insurgency’s safe havens in Pakistan and the Kabul government’s limitations pose significant risks to a “durable, stable Afghanistan,” according to a Pentagon progress report released Friday.

More than a decade since the Sept. 11 terror attacks and the start of the Afghan war, the U.S. and its allies have reversed violent trends in much of the country and the transition to Afghan security taking the lead has begun in seven key areas, including major cities such as Kabul and Herat.

However, cross-border attacks have increased in recent months due to insurgents’ safe havens in Pakistan and the support they received from within its borders.

“The insurgency remains resilient and, enabled by Pakistani safe havens, continues to contest” Afghan security forces throughout the country, especially in the east, the report said.

The Pentagon sent the semi-annual report to Congress, and The Associated Press obtained a copy from congressional officials.

The Unites States has some 100,000 tr oops in Afghanistan and plans to bring most forces home by the end of 2014. President Barack Obama announced this past summer that 10,000 troops will be redeployed by the end of the year. The additional 33,000 that Obama sent as a surge force will be out by the end of September 2012, leaving about 68,000 troops.

“Transition remains on track with no demonstrated effort by the insurgency to target the process,” the report said.

The latest progress report — the last one was in April — strikes a more critical tone than previous Pentagon reports about Pakistan’s failure to crack down on insurgent safe havens along the border with Afghanistan, arguing that these havens enable militants considered the greatest threat to American troops.

The United States in recent weeks has stepped up criticism of Pakistan and its counterterrorism cooperation but has at the same time sought to cajole the increasingly angry and resistant Pakistanis into doing more. As tensions rose between Washington and Islambad, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered an unusually blunt warning to the Pakistanis, saying during a visit to Kabul last week that they “must be part of the solution” to the Afghan conflict.

Clinton said the Obama administration expects the Pakistani government, military and intelligence services to “take the lead” in not only fighting insurgents based in Pakistan but also in encouraging Afghan militants to reconcile with Afghan society. She said the U.S. would go it alone if Pakistan chose not to heed the call.

After leaving Kabul, Clinton made the same points to Pakistani officials in Islamabad, where she led a highlevel U.S. team, including CIA director David Petraeus, seeking to repair badly strained ties. Those meetings appear to have dulled the intensity of Pakistan’s anger but there has not yet been any clear sign that the crisis is over.

Russia’s Bolshoi Theater reopens after reconstruction

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s wife, Svetlana, right, speaks with choreographer Yuri Grigorovich at a gala opening of the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, Friday.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s Bolshoi Theater reopened Friday after a massive reconstruction effort that restored it to its original imperial splendor.

The $700 million, six-year effort meticulously recreated the opulent 19th-century decor, many elements of which had been simplified or removed during communist rule. The renovation also added state-of-the art stage gear and created an additional underground hall.

Russian and international celebrities, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, opera diva Galina Vishnevskaya, ballerina Maya Plisetskaya and Italian actress Monica Bellucci, filled the grand gold-and-red, 1,743-seat hall in Moscow for Friday’s gala opening led by Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev.

The most challenging part of the reconstruction effort was reinforcing the building’s foundation and the walls weakened by erosion.

The historic building of the theater stood on thousands of stained oak stilts stuck in moist soil, but after nearby rivulets were encapsulated in underground pipes, the stilts dried and collapsed, causing numerous cracks in the walls.

Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin had wanted to close the magnificent theater, which he saw as a symbol of decadent aristocracy, but the communists ended up using the building for party gatherings.

The theater’s acoustics were crippled by the remodeling of the hall and the filling of a gigantic hollow resonator under the

orchestra pit with concrete.

The reconstruction removed the Soviet-era changes and restored acoustics-improving papier mache panels, the original embroidered tapestries and other opulent decorations, which have been damaged by age and neglect.

The rebuilding effort has been repeatedly pushed back amid daunting technological challenges and fund shortages.

Medvedev, who personally oversaw the reconstruction, compared the overhaul to rebuilding the theater after a devastating 1853 fire that destroyed the original building.

“Our country always managed to raise funds to put the Bolshoi in a due shape,” he said. “I want to thank all those who were involved in the revival of our jewel, our grand national brand.”

Darlene A., via email

Nice to hear from you, and I enjoyed speaking to your group.

Yes, I can help. A denture tablet is the old hint, but my favorite way to clean a tea stain today is with water and cheap vinegar.

Fill your mug with water, add a few tablespoons of vinegar and let sit for a while. Scrub with baking soda, and you’re done!

For more-stubborn stains, you can mix equal parts salt and vinegar to clean and scrub.

There are so many ways to use vinegar and save money that I compiled a pamphlet filled with quick and easy hints. To receive a copy, send $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (64 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. Did you accidentally burn something in a pot while cooking, and now can’t remove it? Just soak in plain vinegar for approximately 30 minutes or so, then scrub and wash!

Xcel, Domino’s White House to review energy loans work together to promote CFLs Xcel Energy has joined forces with Domino’s Pizza to promote the use of energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs). As of this week, New Mexico customers will receive two free energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs, while supplies last, with each Domino’s Pizza order.

The program aims to raise awareness about the benefits of CFLs and encourage customers to switch immediately to start realizing savings.

CFLs use up to 75 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs, saving up to $5 per bulb per year in energy costs. The bulbs have a seven- to 10-year lifespan, which reduces bulb purchases over time. CFLs also help to reduce greenhouse gases and landfill waste, helping New Mexico’s environment.

“We want to make it as easy as possible for residents to take action to save energy and money at home,” said Mike McLeod, regional manager for community and economic development. “This is a great first step that will hopefully lead to other energy-saving measures.”

“Domino’s is very excited to partner with Xcel Energy to offer our customers great pizza and a great opportunity to save energy,” said Brian Bailey, CEO of Domino’s Pizza Team, New Mexico.

Participating Domino’s Pizza stores include Artesia, Carlsbad, Clovis, Hobbs, Portales, Roswell North and Roswell South.

Xcel Energy also reminds customers to recycle their old CFLs. The bulbs contain small amounts of mercury that can be harmful to the environment and should not be thrown into normal trash receptacles. Xcel Energy provides free CFL recycling (up to 10 per household per year) at these hardware stores: Artesia Do-It Center Burns Hardware Do-It Center Burns Lumber & Hardware Do-It Center Roswell Livestock & Farm Supply True Value Roswell Lumber Do-It Center Triangle Ace Hardware Westlake Ace Hardware Portales Ace Hardware

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Friday ordered an independent review of clean-energy loans made by the Energy Department, its latest response to questions and criticism over a half-billion-dollar loan to a California solar company that eventually went bankrupt.

The announcement of an independent review came as House Republicans prepared to meet next week for a possible vote on a subpoena of White House documents related to Solyndra Inc. White House officials said the independent review would assess the health of other loans and loan guarantees made by the Energy Department program that supported Solyndra. Congressional Republicans have been investigating the company’s bankruptcy amid embarrassing revelations that federal officials were warned it had problems but nonetheless continued to support it, and sent President Barack Obama out to appear at the company and praise it.

“Today we are directing that an independent analysis be conducted of the current state of the Department of Energy loan portfolio, focusing on future loan monitoring and management,” White House chief of staff Bill Daley said. “While we continue to take steps to make sure the United States remains competitive in the 21st century energy economy, we must also ensure that we are strong

Daley said the review would be conducted by former Treasury official Herb Allison, who oversaw the Troubled Asset Relief Program. The review would not look at the Solyndra case but would evaluate other loans worth tens of billions of dollars and recommend steps to stabilize them if they appear to have problems like the one to Solyndra did.

The White House has already

refused a request by the Republicancontrolled House Energy and Commerce Committee for all its internal communications about Solyndra.

Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan and Cliff Stearns of Florida said the subpoena was necessary because the White House has denied its requests for documents. Upton chairs the Energy and Commerce panel, while Stearns leads a subcommittee on investigations.

Surgical team fixes aorta weakness with endovascular surgery MIKE BUSH THE TRITON GROUP

In a first for southeastern New Mexico, a Roswell surgeon and his team at Roswell Regional Hospital have fixed a dangerous weakness in a patient’s main blood vessel using an endovascular surgical technique.

The problem is called an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It’s a weakness in the wall of the aorta, the main artery that feeds blood from the heart down into the abdomen and to other parts of the body.

Blood pressure causes the weakened wall of the artery to balloon outward, stretching it and, if left untreated, eventually causing it to burst, resulting in catastrophic blood loss and death.

The procedure, called an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or triple A, stent graft, has been performed by surgeons in Albuquerque and Las Cruces but was performed for the first time in southeastern New Mexico last week at RRH by Dr. Donald Wenner, assisted by Ramon S. Melendez, director of Medical Imaging and Cardiovascular Services at the hospital, along with three other

“It’s a pretty neat way to fix an aneurysm. The patient has only two puncture sites externally to show for the procedure and goes home the next day.”

Dr. Donald Wenner

team members, a circulating nurse, a monitor person and anesthesia provider.

Melendez said aneurysms may be discovered by accident as they are picked up on X-rays and other imaging procedures done for other reasons. Although aneurysms are life-threatening, they often go undiagnosed because the patient typically has no signs or symptoms.

Wenner said the procedure is much easier for patients to recover from than open surgery, which was the only way an aneurysm could be fixed before the triple-A stent graft was available.

“It’s a pretty neat way to fix an aneurysm. The patient has only two puncture sites externally to show for the procedure and goes home the next day,” Wenner said.

Not everyone with an abdominal

aortic aneurysm is a candidate for this procedure. For a variety of reasons, open surgery is the only option for many patients. Only a doctor can determine who is and who is not a candidate for a triple-A stent graft.

The technique is called percutaneous, which means “through the skin.” A needle and guide wire are introduced into the femoral arteries.

The femoral arteries feed blood to the legs. Before the stent can be placed, the renal arteries — vessels that provide blood to the kidneys — must be located so the surgeon can make sure the stent doesn’t close them off.

“Really a key to this is making sure you don’t cover up the renal arteries,” Wenner said. “Otherwise, you cause kidney failure.”

Melendez said he does that by

using an angiogram, in which a special dye is introduced into the blood vessels that can be recognized by a x-ray camera to track blood flow. The camera also sees “pigtail catheter markers” inside the aorta, which are each one centimeter apart and which are used to measure the aneurysm and locate the renal arteries. The markers also allow the team to identify exactly where the stent graft needs to go to cover the aneurysm.

The stent graft itself is made of nickel-titanium “memory wire” called nitinol. The stent comes compressed but is released by pulling a lead when it is in place, and body temperature makes it expand to a specified size — about 20 percent larger than the blood vessel, Wenner said.

“One of the keys is to get a good seal,” Wenner said. “You’re trying to take pressure off the wall of the aneurysm and you’re trying to get that pressure transmitted to the wall of the stent graft, so if you don’t have a good seal, then you’re going to have pressure on the walls of the aneurysm.”

The particular stents Wenner and

his team use, which Melendez said have been available for only about a year, can be recaptured if they’re not exactly in the right position when released.

“The good thing about this technology with this particular stent is that you’re able to reposition it and get the best outcome,” he said.

“Before, when you released it, you had to be right on the money,” he added. “Now you can recapture it and move it up and down and rerelease it. You could get this just exactly where you want it, and that’s one of the critical things because the aneurysm typically has a neck and the neck is typically fairly short. This particular one was 15 mm (a little more than a half inch).

Sometimes they’re even shorter than that.”

Recommendations now are that men who have ever smoked get screened for cardiovascular disease beginning at age 45 and women who have smoked at age 50. Nonsmokers who have a family history of cardiovascular disease, including aneurysms, also should get screened beginning at 45 for men and 50 for women.

New London Olympic landmark gains final ring

LONDON (AP) — It rises 35 stories high, is made of ruby red steel and vaguely resembles a squashed roller coaster.

Standing next to the main stadium for the 2012 Olympics, it bears the formal name of the “ArcelorMittal Orbit” — although everybody will probably call it the London Olympic Tower or somesuch.

Meant to be a tourist landmark like Big Ben or the London Eye wheel, the abstract work of art is already getting some odd reactions. London’s vigorous press has already coined a few nicknames: the Eyeful Tower, the shisha pipe, Hubble Bubble. Tourists gazing at it for the first time Friday as the final link moved into place added a few descriptions of their own.

“It’s a combination between a helter skelter and a helix,” said Hugh Shelmerdine, 60, a credit manager at a leasing company who likes it. “It adds a bit of a difference to the Olympic Park. Without it everything is a little bit too controlled.”

The 1,500 metric ton (1,650 U.S. ton) top ring of the showcase sculpture of the London Olympics was lifted by three cranes and slid into place Friday. The project had been repeatedly delayed to adjust to weather conditions; little or no wind was necessary to keep the movement of the steel to a minimum and also so that the four -man team could hear one another from above.

The tower is designed by London-based artist Anish Kapoor, a previous winner

of the prestigious Turner Prize, and his design partner Cecil Balmond. Their design, dominated by a looping lattice of tubular steel, won a competition to be designated the art project of the games.

One of Britain’s foremost artists, Kapoor is known for large-scale installations like “Marsyas” — a giant bloodred PVC membrane that was displayed at London’s Tate Moder n in 2002 — and “The Bean,” a 110-ton (100-metric ton) stainless steel sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park. But the Orbit is a departure from previous work, based on taking a point in space that is “orbited” by a dancing line of steel.

For his part, Kapoor said in a statement that he hopes the structure will engage the viewer “through form, color and reflectivity.”

But much is left to interpretation — and that was precisely the point, said project architect Kathryn Findlay. She doesn’t mind that some people see DNA helixes, or roller coasters or Lego or a series of knots — what matters is that they look at the piece and get involved with it.

“I think it is a positive thing that no one sees it the same way,” she said.

London Mayor Boris Johnson could barely contain himself with joy.

“It would have boggled the minds of the Romans.

It would have dwarfed the aspirations of Gustave Eiffel, and it will certainly be worthy of the best show on earth, in the greatest city on earth,” Johnson said in a statement. “And as the

Protesters end their dam site occupation

SAO PAULO (AP) — Hundreds of protesters have ended their occupation of the construction site of one the world’s largest hydroelectric dams, Indian rights activists said Friday.

Renato Santana of the Indian Missionary Council said more than 600 Indians, fishermen and river dwellers peacefully left the construction site of the Belo Monte dam Thursday night after a judge ordered their eviction.

They had taken over the work site Thursday morning to demand that work on the dam be stopped.

A spokeswoman for the Norte Energia consortium that is building the dam confirmed the end of the occupation.

Andressa Lanzellotti said the protesters caused no damage and that work on the dam had resumed.

The $11 billion, 11,000-megawatt dam would be the world’s third largest when completed on the Xingu River that feeds the Amazon.

The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and other critics say the dam will displace thousands of Indians and cause environmental damage. The commission has urged the Brazilian government to halt construction.

The commission also said the government should consult with indigenous groups and others and give them access to environmental impact reports as well as adopt measures meant to protect their livelihoods.

Brazil’s Foreign Ministry has rejected the suggestion and said Brazil had acted in an “effective and diligent” manner to respond to demands by environmentalists and local communities.

The government says the project is essential for Brazil’s growing economy and that it will help lift millions out of poverty. It has also said the dam was designed to minimize environmental damage.

Environmentalists fear the project will lead to more dams in the Amazon, spurring development that will speed deforestation. Scientists say the region’s massive rain forest is one of nature’s best defenses against global warming because it absorbs carbon dioxide.

Soaring above the stadi-

When finished, the 114meter (375-foot) tower will be 22 meters (72 feet) higher than the Statue of Liberty

and twice the height of Nelson’s Column in Trafalgar Square.

The project got its start in a coat check room at the World Economic Forum in Davos two years ago. London Mayor Boris Johnson

bumped into steel mogul Lakshmi Mittal — rated the wealthiest man in Britain by the Sunday Times Rich List with an estimated wealth of 17.5 billion pounds ($28.1 billion) — and gave him a 45-second pitch.

Roswell Daily Record

Sugarland: ‘We are all changed’ by collapse INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A packed house watched country duo Sugarland deliver an emotionallycharged free concert meant to “celebrate” healing, life and music while serving as a tribute to those injured in a deadly stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair last August.

Singer Jennifer Nettles told Friday night’s crowd — including some of those injured during the collapse — that the tragedy had changed them all.

Nettles opened 2 1/2hour show at a packed Conesco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis by telling audience members they were in store for an emotional night that would also be part celebration.

She also told fans that Sugarland had visited the fairgrounds, where high winds toppled scaffolding and stage rigging on Aug.

13 into a crowd awaiting a performance by the country duo. Seven people were killed.

“Obviously we are here in October — we were supposed to do this show in August. Obviously, the stage is different, you are different and we are different. We are all changed by what happened then,” she said. “But we are going to try to give you the best show that we can and to celebrate healing with you and to celebrate life and music with you here tonight.”

Sugarland’s free concert came 10 weeks after the stage collapsed as a storm neared the fairgrounds’ Grandstand a few miles north of Friday night’s venue. Attendees were asked to donate to a victim relief fund that already has raised nearly $1 million.

Indianapolis resident

Sue Humphrey, whose 17year -old son, Brad, was left partially paralyzed when he was struck by falling stage rigging that night, attended Friday’s concert with her son, who only decided Friday afternoon that he wanted to go.

Humphrey said Brad was unsure if the concert would be too emotional for him, but she said it was herself, and not her son, who got choked up at one point during the show as her mind cast back to August’s tragedy.

She said Brad, a high school senior who attended the concert after finishing his first week back at school since he was injured, held up fine.

Humphrey and her son, who is now in a wheelchair, sat in the venue’s handicapped section.

Humphrey said she was touched when Nettles held

up a flag near the end of the concert with the word “Heal” painted on it and then walked through the audience holding it aloft.

“She usually has ‘Love’ on that flag, but this time she spray-painted ‘Heal’ on it and I thought that was a very, very good touch to the show,” she said.

Rick Stevens, who served as an Army medic in Vietnam, said Sugarland “hit a home run” with Friday’s concert by balancing a remembrance of August’s stage collapsed with several vibrant and powerful renditions of their songs, including “The Incredible Machine,” the name of their current album.

“I’ve seen them play five times and this is their most emotional, most heartfelt concerts I’ve seen.

They just played their hearts out,” he said. “It

tion would be Paul W.S. Anderson (formerly known as Paul Anderson). Anderson has directed masterpieces like “Mortal Kombat,” “Event Horizon,” “Resident Evil,” “AVP: Alien vs.

Predator,” “Death Race” and “Resident Evil: Afterlife.”

Those films have an average score of 29.83 at rottentomatoes.com (R T).

While none of the above films set the industry on fire, I enjoyed each one of them and was able to appreciate them for what they were: Mindless fun.

While a majority of people were turned off of “The Three Musketeers” (TTM) when it was announced that Anderson would helm the film, I was pleased with the decision and looked forward to another enjoyable adventure. After viewing the film, I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the film, while predictably the film tanked at the box office ($8.7M) and with critics (26% on RT).

What reviewers failed to realize is that if they actually appreciated what was on the screen as opposed to what TTM didn’t do, they would have had a much better time.

The film focuses on, spoiler alert, the three musketeers, Athos (Matthew Macfadyen), Aramis (Luke Evans) and Porthos (Ray Stevenson).

The opening sets the tone for the film right away as we are introduced to the

trio one-by-one and get a glimpse at what makes each one unique. Athos, Aramis and Porthos are joined by Athos’ love interest Milady de Winter (Mila Jovovich) as they seemingly accomplish their task, but a surprise twist leaves the trio on their knees.

After the early plot twist, the story jumps forward a year, where the audience is introduced to D’Artagnan (Logan Lerman), who leaves home in hopes of joining the famed musketeers.

D’Artagnan’s path to the musketeers, who have given up their heroics after the opening segment, offers some laugh-out-loud moments as he schedules each one of them for an “appointment.”

Before the brash youngster can fulfill the appointments, however, D’Artagnan and the musketeers are surrounded by Richelieu’s (a poorly cast and used Christoph Waltz).

After an extended and wellchoreographed sword fight, the musketeers invite D’Artagnan back to their house.

At the house, the musketeers reveal that they are “retired” because there aren’t any more noble causes to fight for.

The four are summoned

by King Louis XIII of France (a scene-stealing Freddie Fox). Richelieu wants them punished for beating his guard, but the “punishment” is anything but as Louis orders them new out-

The 57-year -old Terre Haute, Ind., resident was among those who rushed into the tangled metal rigging to help people crushed in August’s collapse. He said he saw people at Friday’s concert whom he had rescued.

Indiana-based musician Corey Cox and actress Rita Wilson performed before Sugarland took the stage.

Cox per for med a few weeks ago at a benefit concert for a woman from his hometown of Pendleton, Ind. — 30-year-old Andrea Vellinga — who suffered severe head injuries in the stage collapse and still is struggling to recover. Vellinga’s family and friends attended the show.

He dedicated one of his songs, “That’ll Take You Back” to his hometown “and every other small town across this country

who came together the week after Aug. 13 and prayed and supported” the victims of the collapse.

A psychiatrist who specializes in treating survivors of disasters said attending the concert could help some of the roughly 40 people injured in the stage collapse and relatives of those killed come to ter ms with the tragedy. But he said there’s a chance it could deal others a setback, dredging up intense and painful memories.

“It’s good that this benefit concert should happen, but it may be too hard for some people to go through it,” said Anthony Ng, interim chief medical officer at The Acadia Hospital in Bangor, Maine. “Obviously everybody’s different and there’s no right way or wrong way to do this.”

‘Musketeers’ is enjoyable — with the right mindset

Foster’s rating — 3 out of 5 UFOs Believe it or not, at one point in time DVDs and VHSs were not delivered in the mail or streamed online via your favorite console.

If you wanted to watch a movie that wasn’t in theaters you had to actually go to a store, interact with the cashier and rent it.

So 2002 I know, but one of the best things about the old way of renting movies

fits and gives them gold.

Wanting to see France go to war, Richelieu hatches a plan to frame the Queen (Juno Temple) for an affair with the Duke of Buckingham (Orlando Bloom). With war on the horizon because of the alleged infidelity, the beautiful Constance (Gabriella Wilde) convinces D’Artagnan to go after the jewels that the Queen supposedly gave the Duke as a token of her af fection.

D’Artagnan in turn convinces the musketeers that

this is the noble cause they have been waiting for.

I won’t get into any more about the plot, but special effects and sword fights are aplenty over the final half of the film.

Where TTM succeeds is its well-crafted sword fights and humor. The CGI was a bit over the top, but didn’t detract from the film.

While TTM won’t redefine the action genre or shatter box of fice records, it is nonetheless an enjoyable film that offers variety.

Cee Lo Green Ascends to the Top; ”Fool For You (Feat. Melanie Fiona)” Hits 1

NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwire) — 10/28/11 — Elektra recording artist Cee Lo Green has reached to the top with his hit single, ”Fool For You (Feat. Melanie Fiona).” The track — featured on Green’s blockbuster solo album, ”THE LADY KILLER” — is currently 1 at Urban AC radio outlets nationwide. Remarkably, the ascension of ”Fool For You” comes more than 9 months after its arrival at the format.

The single’s stunning success marks the latest accomplishment in what is shaping up as a truly triumphant year for Green.

The Grammy Award-winning superstar will celebrate with an array of high-profile TV appearances, kicking off with a performance at the 85th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, airing Thursday, November 24th on NBC from 9 am to 12 pm EST (check local listings). Tuesday, November 29th will see Green joining the star-studded musical line-up performing on CBS’s 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, slated for broadcast at 10 pm ET. The following evening, Cee Lo will be among the revelers at the 2011 Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting, scheduled to air Wednesday, November 30th as part of NBC’s annual Christmas In Rockefeller Center festivities (check local listings). Last, but very certainly not least, Season 2 of NBC’s smash vocal competition series, The Voice, will premiere on February 5th, immediately following Super Bowl XLVI. In addition to his many TV appearances, Cee Lo will light up the big screen in one of 2012’s most anticipated films, Sparkle. The film — a remake of the 1976 classic — co-

stars Green alongside a star-studded cast that also features Whitney Houston, Jordin Sparks, Mike Epps, and Derek Luke. The Sony Pictures Entertainment film is currently in production with release information to be announced shortly.

The upcoming slate of TV appearances comes hot on the heels of Green’s recent guest roles on both NBC’s Parenthood and the Season 7 premiere of the Fox animated series, American Dad. Green has also performed on a wide range of TV series and specials in the months following the release of ”THE LADY KILLER,” including NBC’s Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman, Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, ABC’s Good Morning America, WWE’s SummerSlam, the nationally syndicated Oprah Winfrey Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, E’s Chelsea Lately, MTV’s The Seven, and VH1’s Jump Start Live, among others. In addition, Cee Lo was among the performers on such awards spectaculars as the 2010 Soul Train Awards, the 2011 Billboard Music Awards, and of course, the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, where he received the ”Best Urban/Alternative Performance” Grammy honoring his groundbreaking hit single, ”Fk You.” What’s more, Green also stole the show with his multi-colored performance of the Grammy-winning song, featuring special guests Gwyneth Paltrow and the Jim Henson Company Puppets.

Known far and wide as one half of Grammy Award-winning superstar duo Gnarls Barkley, Cee Lo Green is a true 21st Century renaissance man. Having first made his

bones as a member of southern hip-hop pioneers, Goodie Mob, Green soon struck out on his own with 2002’s ”CEE LO GREEN AND HIS PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS,” highlighted by the Timbaland-produced hit single, ”Closet Freak.” The acclaimed ”CEE LO GREEN...IS THE SOUL MACHINE” followed two years later, again featuring a Timbaland-produced hit single in ”I’ll Be Around.”

As if that weren’t enough, Cee Lo also became one of R&B/hip-hop’s most indemand collaborators, penning and producing tracks for such like-minded artists as Jennifer Hudson, Brandy, Amerie, and Solange. His greatest success as songwriter/producer came in 2005 with the RIAA platinum-certified, international 1, ”Don’t Cha,” by Pussycat Dolls featuring Busta Rhymes.

In 2006, Green teamed with producer/DJ Danger Mouse as Gnarls Barkley and quickly made history with the international 1 smash, ”Crazy” (later named as ”Song of the Decade” by Rolling Stone). The duo’s kaleidoscopic debut, ”ST. ELSEWHERE,” proved a critical triumph and chart-topping blockbuster, ultimately earning RIAA platinum certification in the US for sales exceeding 1 million. At 2007’s 49th Annual Grammy Awards, Gnarls received seven nominations and snagged two of the event’s most coveted trophies — ”Best Alternative Music Album” and ”Best Urban Alternative Performance.” ”THE ODD COUPLE” followed in 2008, earning further praise along with an additional trio of Grammy nods. ”THE LADY KILLER” — Green’s first solo work in more than six years — sees the

endlessly inventive singer/writer/rapper/producer continuing to push hip-hop and soul’s creative envelope, this time working with a star-studded cast of producers that includes Salaam Remi (Nas, Amy Winehouse), Jack Splash (Alicia Keys, Missy Elliot, Jamie Foxx), Paul Epworth (Florence & The Machine, Bloc Party, The Big Pink), and Fraser T. Smith (Nelly Furtado, James Morrison, Ellie Goulding).

The album was heralded by the historic hit single, “Fk You,” which created a global viral commotion upon its release via Green’s official YouTube channel, drawing more than 2 million plays in its first five days online. The song’s official companion video followed and has since logged almost 63 million YouTube views at www.youtube.com/user/CeeLoGreen.

The amended ”Forget You” proved a massive mainstream success, scoring Top 40 airplay at multi-format radio outlets nationwide. In addition, Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow famously performed her own version of ”Forget You” on a highly rated episode of Fox’s hit series, Glee.

Co-written and produced by the multiplatinum certified production trio, The Smeezingtons, featuring Green’s Elektra labelmate, Bruno Mars, ”Fk You” eventually went on to become one of 2010’s defining singles, with Time declaring it the 1 song of the year. Moreover, the track received Grammy Award nominations in the categories of ”Record of the Year,” ”Song of the Year,” and ”Best Urban/Alternative Performance,” winning the latter.

Military museums offer thrills, noted collections

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Military museums allow visitors to experience the rough and tumble jerk of a parachute jump, the barked orders of an Army drill sergeant or the segregated training endured by the first African-Americans to enter the Marine Corps.

Whether you are a hardened military veteran or one who’s never wor n a uniform, several military museums in the Carolinas offer extensive lessons in military service as the Nov. 11 Veterans Day draws near.

In Fayetteville, N.C., the soaring Airborne and Special Operations Museum attracts between 120,000 to 175,000 visitors every year and tells the story of how America’s military developed the strategy of dropping fully-armed soldiers into battle from the skies. A 15-foot sculpture of the paratrooper dubbed “Iron Mike” stands guard at its glass-and-girder front entry, which evokes both the 250-foot “jump towers” that paratroopers use to train and the wingspan of the C-47 aircraft that dropped soldiers onto battlefields in World War II. Located just minutes off Interstate 95 in downtown Fayetteville, N.C., the museum is holding a weeklong celebration in advance of Veterans Day, says Paul Galloway, executive director of the foundation that supported construction of the $25 million building.

“We’ll be hopping and popping. We do a salute to veterans every year,” Galloway said. A week of films about the Army and paratroopers will be held the week prior to the holiday, as well as other events to honor military men and women, Galloway said.

As soon as you enter the museum, you spot a World War II-era paratrooper in combat gear floating out of the sky under a yellow 28foot-wide parachute.

Behind him, another model drops from the heavens, a modern Army Ranger buoyed by a light green, honeycombed parachute used by U.S. Special Forces.

A wild ride can be had in the museum’s 24-seat platform motion simulator, recreating the bumps and jumps of parachute drops and rides in military vehicles.

To highlight some of the major events of wartime paratroopers, visitors first stroll through a recreated village in Nor mandy.

Recordings from the June 1944 Allied invasion to liberate France from Nazi

Ger many put visitors in the heat of the battle, with rockets and bullets screeching by. Overhead, a C-47 “Skytrain” aircraft hovers with a U.S. Army paratrooper poised to jump out an open door.

Walkways are papered with still photos, videos and murals that show the history behind U.S. forces that evolved into the famed Special Operations units, designated to take on unconventional war fare and special missions in foreign lands.

Displays from the war in the Pacific, the Korean War and Cold War are shown.

In one display, soldiers jump from a UH-1 “Huey” helicopter into a jungle battle raging in Vietnam.

Other displays detail the history of U.S. involvement in the Dominican Republic, Panama and Grenada.

America’s conflicts in the Middle East are recalled with models of camouflaged soldiers crouching in desert hideouts in Iraq.

Others depict U.S. Special Operations forces meeting for tea with Afghan villagers or medical centers where military medics tend to local children.

The latest addition to the Army’s military museums is the Army’s Basic Training Combat Museum located on Fort Jackson, in Columbia, S.C., which reopened in July after a two-year renovation.

More than 60,000 male and female soldiers graduate every year from basic training at Fort Jackson, which is the Army’s largest training site. The museum offers guests and family members a taste of their grueling 10 weeks of indoctrination and combat training.

“The museum boasts a number of high-speed exhibits that zoom in directly on how civilians are turned into soldiers, interwoven with Fort Jackson’s past,” said the twostar general in charge of the post, Maj. Gen. James Milano.

Visitors may be startled by drill sergeants who appear in holographic images bellowing commands, allowing them to “feel as if he or she has enlisted in the Army and is standing there in their Ar my Combat Unifor m,” Milano says.

AP Photo This undated photo courtesy of the Airborne & Special Operations Museum shows the exterior of the museum in Fayetteville, N.C. The soaring Airborne and Special Operations Museum attracts between 120,000 to 175,000 visitors every year and tells the plays of World War I-era barracks, complete with wood-burning, pot-bellied stoves, metal beds and modest rations.

“I lear ned how they’d done basic training in the past,” said Pvt. Christopher Thorngate, 26, visiting the museum with his grandparents Dale, 76, and Janet, 70, of Salem, W.Va., a day before his own graduation from basic training. “They worked the simulations in very well, so it’s not just history and you don’t get bored.”

Grandfather Thorngate, who retired from the Air Force after 26 years, said he was pleased to lear n how present-day training made use of combat weapons and tactics.

“Whether it’s the Air Force or Army, it’s good to see that they keep instilling military values, the discipline that is needed,” he said.

While most Marines recall their basic training taking place either at Parris Island, S.C., or Camp Pendleton, Calif., there is a third site few know about: the Montford Point Marine Museum, located near Camp Lejeune, N.C., at Camp Gilbert H. Johnson.

“We are the Marine Corps basic training site you’ve never heard of,” jokes Finney Greggs, a retired Marine and director of the small museum located in one of the original white wooden, single story barracks buildings where African-Americans were segregated from white Marines as they trained from 1942 to 1949.

The museum holds photos, letters, uniforms and other mementos from blacks who endured tough training to earn the eagle, globe and anchor Corps’ insignia and disprove the notion they weren’t worthy because of the color of their skin.

African-Americans gained entry to the Marines after President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order forcing the commandant to allow them to train. In 1948, President Harry S Truman signed an executive order that desegregated the military services, and all Marines went to boot camp at either Parris Island or Camp Pendleton.

Greggs says the museum is seeking material for displays and is looking for information about any veterans who may have trained at Montford Point and saw duty in World War II. Organizers are also looking ahead to building a second phase dealing with the history of these Marines in the Korean War and Vietnam.

“A lot of families don’t even know where their veteran may have served. We tell them, ‘Just ask and find out! Maybe some of the older members of your church community were part of World War II and trained at Montford Point,” said Greggs’ wife, Louise, who helps manage the site.

“We’d love to know who they were!”

Stephanie Izard turns “Top Chef” into big break

In the beginning there was Scylla, a cozy, quiet neighborhood restaurant where Stephanie Izard turned out reliable Mediterranean seafood in a living room atmosphere. Her dad made the hostess stand. Her thenboyfriend’s mom made the drapes. She bought the house with a loan and some money from her late grandfather.

“We didn’t work with a designer and things like that,” says the 34-year -old Chicago chef. “We just did it ourselves.”

Fast forward to Girl and the Goat, Izard’s West Loop restaurant that rocks charred wood walls and a non-stop party that’s anything but sedate.

Izard has abandoned the politesse of bouillabaisse and seared diver scallops for FergusHenderson-meets-Zak Pelaccio dishes such as goat belly confit and pan-fried duck tongue with pickled watermelon rind. And no of fense to Grandpa, but The Goat’s backers are Chicago’s most prominent restaurateurs, with three of the four chefs in the roster — including Izard — named best new chef by Food and Wine magazine.

In the year since it opened, Girl and the Goat already has been nominated for a James Beard

award and won accolades from critics across the country.

“Girl and the Goat is her coming out party,” says Heather Shouse, a Chicago-based food writer and Izard’s co-author on her new cookbook, “Girl in the Kitchen.” “It’s really in-your-face, full-frontal aggressive food. It’s really fun, it’s really loud, it has a lot of personality.”

Just like Izard.

But it wasn’t always that way.

Shy as a child, Izard would tag along with older sister Stacey, who remembers being the ring leader for their adventures in the woods and the times they turned their living room into a restaurant, putting the coffee table on blocks for the bar and setting numerous card tables for the imaginary “patrons.” “I was louder and outgoing and she was kind of with me,” says Stacey Izard.

Then came Bravo’s “Top Chef.”

Shortly after Izard sold Scylla in 2007, out of sheer exhaustion, producers from the hit show approached her about being on it. She wooed the audience with her good nature, easy smile and girl-next-door appeal. She floored the judges with bold, unlikely flavors — her final dish combined mushrooms, pistachios and blackberries — and locked out

SECURITY: While Fayetteville’s Airborne and Spe-

the competition, becoming the first — and still the only — woman ever to win “Top Chef.”

“It really brought her into her own,” Stacey says. “The show gave her a chance to be in the spotlight and she fit right in.”

Shy maybe, but Izard has never been retiring. After “Top Chef,” she could have let her 15 minutes of fame evaporate into the pop culture landscape. Instead, she embraced her inner extrovert, turning her victory into Chicago’s hottest restaurant, with a sister joint — Little Goat — set to open in the spring. She’s parlayed her celebrity into cookbook success and a chance to raise money for hungry children, conversations about a television show, and a possible line of cookware.

“I’m just a really driven person,” Izard says. “Going on ‘Top Chef’ presented a lot of doors and you can choose to open them or not.”

But even when doors are closed, Izard simply busts through them. Much of her dizzying success has come from embracing the unexpected and taking large, terrifying risks the way someone else might order a cappuccino. Ten years ago, she spent the weekend with friends in Chicago, then called home to

Scottsdale, Az., on Monday morning to have her stuff shipped to her. She opened Scylla almost on a dare, quitting her job at what then was a top Chicago bistro right after a fellow line cook suggested she should have her own restaurant.

“I don’t think about things too much,” she says. “I just go for them.”

If it sounds like a Nike ad, maybe it’s because Izard is a born competitor. A swimmer from the age of 3, she was all about 5 a.m. practice and taking on opponents across the country. She placed first in the national rankings for the mile, but quit competing at 16 because she lost — to herself.

“I set myself a certain goal and missed it by a tenth-of-a-second,” she says. “What’s made me successful is that I’m always pushing myself to be the best that I can.”

At Jean-George Vongerichten’s Vong, her first job in Chicago, Izard was put on garde manger (read as making salads), but fought her way to the stove.

“They always put the girls in garde manger or pastry,” says Shouse, who worked with Izard at Vong before becoming a writer.

“She was given that role in a restaurant that was filled with

testosterone and she fought her way over to the hot line and into places that were typically maledominated.”

Today, Izard runs with a group of chefs occupying the West Loop that Shouse calls a “brain trust” — the spawn of old guard Chicago chefs like Charlie Trotter and Rick Bayless. All hovering around the age of 35, the young-uns are creating a cuisine that is edgier, funkier, less expensive, but just as luxurious.

Izard is among the many local chefs experimenting with whole animal dishes, presenting parts and pieces with pranksterish glee. For Valentine’s Day, Izard served skewered lamb heart with spiced figs. And one of the best loved dishes on her menu is “wood oven roasted pig face” served with a fried egg.

“It’s a crispy porky goodness,” Izard says. “We like to call it ‘breakfast on crack.”’

Izard’s food today is as inventive as it once was safe. In her search for the biggest, boldest flavors, she mixes and matches cultures in dishes like escargot with tamarind and miso, amberjack crudo with crisp pork bellies and Latin American chilies, and goat meat chorizo with Serbian pepper relish.

Cameras stream Canadian polar bear migration ’Broads’ to chat sports, HELENA, Montana (AP) — In the harsh, remote wilds of the Canadian tundra, a wolverine scampers up to a polar bear snoozing near the shore of the Hudson Bay. The bear rises and makes a half-hearted charge, driving away the fierce, badger-like animal.

The brief encounter Thursday was streamed live to computers around the world through a new program that aims to document in real time the annual migration of hundreds of polar bears outside Churchill, Manitoba.

The bears travel through the small town each October and November and then wait for the Hudson Bay freeze-up, when they can get out on the ice and hunt for seals. In the past, their trek was witnessed mainly by scientists and intrepid tourists.

Now, thanks to an initial $50,000 grant from the Annenberg Foundation to set up four cameras on a makeshift lodge and a roaming Tundra Buggy, plus ongoing payments for bandwidth and technical infrastructure, the bears’

miles (50 kilometers) outside of town. Each September through November, they and Frontiers North Adventures host scientists and hold webcasts for schoolchildren to give them a firsthand view of how climate change is damaging the bears’ habitat.

It’s unseasonably warm in Manitoba, as evidenced on the webcam by the tundra bare of snow. That raises concerns that ice will be late in forming again this year — last year, freeze-up didn’t happen until mid-December, nearly a month later than usual. That’s a problem for the bears, Wright said.

“It’s breaking up earlier and freezing later, so the time they’re spending on land is longer. The time they’re on land, they’re basically fasting,” she said.

Charles Annenberg Weingarten, the foundation’s vice president and a trustee, said the polar bear webcam is an experiment he hopes to expand into a program called Pearls of the Planet that would place streaming cameras in various wild places.

Vegas at ex-mayor’s joint

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman was known to swill gin and bring showgirls everywhere while he was in office. Now, the booze and girls are back as he opens his namesake steakhouse Dec. 15.

Sin City’s colorful ex-mayor tells The Associated Press that Oscar’s steakhouse at the Plaza Hotel and Casino downtown will have the tagline “Beef, Booze and Broads” and will feature good-looking hostesses hired to chat with diners about topics like sports, wine and politics.

They’ll be experts in Las Vegas, he says, and will eat and drink with guests.

“I want everyone to feel very comfortable,” Goodman told the AP. “I want them to drink so much that they won’t even care that the steak is prime — which it will be, I assure you.

“It’s all going to be first-

class,” he said.

The bar will feature a “Nobama” whiskey cocktail, playing on a flap Goodman stirred in 2009 when he sought an apology from President Barack Obama for comments Goodman thought hurt the country’s perception of Las Vegas.

Goodman said it’s all tonguein-cheek — and that the president is welcome at his joint.

“If President Obama wants to come in, I’ll buy him a drink,” he said.

Goodman, who is licensing his name to the restaurant, left office earlier this year as term limits ended his run as the selfproclaimed “happiest mayor of the greatest city in the world” after 12 years. His wife, Carolyn Goodman, was elected in June to succeed him.

Oscar Goodman said the restaurant’s “Beef, Booze and Broads” tagline comes from one of his cases in the 1970s.
