Sandhill cranes flock by the thousands to Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge at sunset Saturday, delighting wildlife enthusiasts who attended a special Cranes and Cocoa event.

VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Wearing cozy clothes and sipping yummy cocoa, a group of nature-watchers and wildlife aficionados gathered at Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday to witness an aerial ballet.

Referred to as an Evening of Cranes and

Cocoa by the Friends of Bitter Lake NWR, the event was all about the sandhill crane — a migratory bird of North America and Siberia that flies south for the winter. Many sandhill cranes arrive at the refuge as early as midOctober.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A rover of “monster truck” proportions zoomed toward Mars on an 8 1 ⁄ 2 month, 354 million-mile jour ney Saturday, the biggest, best equipped robot ever sent to explore another planet.

NASA’s six-wheeled, onearmed wonder, Curiosity, will reach Mars next summer and use its jackhammer drill, rock-zapping laser machine and other devices to search for evidence that Earth’s nextdoor neighbor might once have been home to the teeniest forms of life.

More than 13,000 invited guests jammed the Kennedy Space Center on

Saturday morning to witness NASA’s first launch to Mars in four years, and the first flight of a Martian rover in eight years.

Mars fever gripped the crowd.

The 1-ton Curiosity — 10 feet long, 9 feet wide and 7 feet tall at its mast — is a mobile, nuclear -powered laboratory holding 10 science instruments that will sample Martian soil and rocks, and with unprecedented skill, analyze them right on the spot.

It’s as big as a car. But NASA’s Mars exploration program director calls it “the monster truck of Mars.”

sion. It’s equivalent of three missions, frankly, and quite an undertaking,” said the ecstatic program director, Doug McCuistion. “Science fiction is now science fact. We’re flying to Mars.

We’ll get it on the ground and see what we find.”

The primary goal of the $2.5 billion mission is to see whether cold, dry, barren Mars might have been hospitable for microbial life once upon a time — or might even still be conducive to life now. No actual life detectors are on board; rather, the instruments will hunt for organic compounds.

USPS to hold public mail Pakistan blocks supply routes after processing meeting 12/14 attack allegedly kills 24 troops JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The United States Postal Service will hold a public meeting in Roswell, Dec. 14, to discuss its proposal to move mail processing operations from the city to Lubbock, Texas.

On Sept. 15, the USPS began conducting a study at the Roswell Customer Service Mail Processing Center to deter mine the feasibility of consolidating its operations into the Lubbock Processing and Distribution Facility.

Peter Hass, spokesman for the USPS for New Mexi-

co and Arizona, told the Daily Record in September that the economy, the reduction in mail volume and a 25 percent decrease in first-class mail volume over the past five years, have caused the organization to examine ways in which it can be more efficient.

Initial study results support consolidating mail processing operations currently being per for med in Roswell by taking advantage of available processing capacity in Lubbock, See MAIL, Page A3

CASA employees meet their agency’s United Way goal VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

Increasing its campaign fundraising numbers by 25 percent is no easy task, but the United Way of Chaves County has tapped into an unlikely yet critical resource — its very own agencies.

The staf f at Court Appointed Special Advocates of Chaves County, a United Way agency, have been working particularly hard to help the organization that in tur n helps them look out for the wellbeing of local children.

Carrie-Leigh Cloutier,

executive director of CASA, set out to ensure that not only fellow CASA employees did their part to help raise funds for the United Way, but that other nonprofits throughout the county do their part, as well.

As the chairwoman of the nonprofit division — which covers all the nonprofits in Chaves County — Cloutier encouraged companies unaffiliated with the United Way to donate.

“We’re also helping ourselves,” said Sherry Mumford, executive director of the United Way of Chaves County. She said Cloutier’s nonprofit division goal was

to raise $22,889. Cloutier helped raise $22,900 by mid-November, beating other divisions that have similar fundraising goals.

“She’s the first to reach her division goal,” Mumford said of Cloutier. “Every year we set goals for our different divisions. ... (Cloutier) worked really hard.”

Cloutier cautiously noted that there is no competition amongst the divisions and their fundraising efforts.

Although she led her division in its fundraising effort, ultimately, it was the people who donated that met the challenge.

“It’s not about who got it

first,” Cloutier said. “It’s about every single agency giving 100 percent. ... I was in charge of (a nonprofit division) this year and got the enthusiasm going. I issued the challenge, and they all got excited and met that challenge.”

With Perry and Sherri Toles leading this year’s campaign, there is a goal to increase the funds raised to 25 percent more than last year’s final amount, which was $460,000.

To help achieve this 25 percent increase, the Toles increased fundraising See CASA, Page A3

NM to save taxpayers $820K HispanicBusiness names Laura Gómez ‘Influential’

Laura Gómez

VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

The quest to understand how the legal system shapes American society and racial identity has taken Laura Gómez down an unforeseen — albeit rewarding — path.

After working as a legislative aide for Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., graduating from an Ivy League school, serving as a professor of law, sociology, and American and race studies and receiving a variety of awards and accolades along the way, Gómez does not forget where it all began for her — in Roswell, where she was born.

The most recent recognition for Gómez has been as one of HispanicBusiness magazine’s 100 Most Influential Hispanics. The national list has a dif ferent focus every year — from the influence of Hispanics on the Infor mation Age to the influence of Hispanics on Barack Obama’s administration.

This year’s focus was on diversity and inclusion, the career equivalent of meat and potatoes for the person who cofounded and was the first co-director of the University of Califor nia Los Angeles’ Critical Race Studies Program, the first program in any U.S. law school to specialize on law and race. Gómez was also the first minority scholar to lead the Law and Society Association, which is comprised of scholars who focus on the

correlation between society and the law.

“I’m very humbled,” Gómez said in a phone interview. “The other people who were recognized are really accomplished.

I’m really honored to be included among them.”

Gómez completed a degree in social studies at University, Harvard where she was a Harry S. T ruman Scholar — an honor bestowed upon college students with exceptional leadership skills and potential.

Gómez completed a doctorate in sociology as well as a law degree at Stanford University. She has just completed six years of teaching at the University of New Mexico, where she had a joint appointment with the School of Law and the American Studies department. She recently went to California to teach at UCLA’s School of Law. Gómez’s curiosity when it comes to law and its ef fect on ideology is apparent in her writing, perhaps most notably in her book, “Manifest Destinies: The Making of the Mexican-American Race,” which she published in 2007.

“The book is a study on how politics, the law and ideology (combined) with ideas of Mexican-Americans as an inferior racial group,” Gómez said. She said the book deals extensively with racial ideology in New Mexico around the time the territory became a state. Before New Mexico could become part of the United States, the Mexicans already in the land had to be placed somewhere on a racial hierarchy — a hierarchy of vast importance to race-conscious Americans. So that these newly acquired people could be placed on the American racial ladder — and be treated accordingly — the ideological construct of the Mexican-American race was born.

Gómez’s parents Antonio and Eloyda Gómez live in Albuquerque.

The Gómez family has deep roots in Roswell. The

entire family was born in Roswell and moved to Albuquerque when Laura was 2 years old, so that Antonio Gómez could attend the University of New Mexico, where he studied sociology.

Laura Gómez attended Valley High School in Albuquerque, where she became student body president before graduating in 1982. She said Valley High was about threequarters Hispanic. When she went to Harvard, there were about 1,000 students in her freshmen class. Only about 30 were Hispanic.

“When I went to Harvard, I saw a very different world,” Gómez said.

“Now we talk about Hispanics and Latinos and we take for granted that they are a group, but in the 1980s, it wasn’t so.”

Gómez acknowledged the difference that education made in her life, but also expressed concern for current and future generations.

“I consider myself extremely lucky to have benefited from social mobility due to educational attainment,” she said. “None of my four grandparents ... had more than a few years of education. ... Within three generations, our family experienced very exceptional socio-economic mobility due to my parents’ and my educational opportunities.

“I worry that today we are a much different society in which people do not have the same chances to improve their family’s situation via education,” Gómez said. “We are seeing the growing gap between rich and poor and the state and federal gover nments’ unwillingness to invest in education. ... Latino children today will not have the same opportunities that I had even three decades ago when I was finishing high school in Albuquerque.”

SANTA FE (AP) — Taxpayers will save a total of almost $820,000 a year now that Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration has reworked leases held by eight state agencies.

The modified leases are the result of a review of how the state could save on its rent bills.

Employees looked at square footage of of fice space that could be reduced, along with leases that could be lowered in exchange for longer contract terms, The New Mexican reported Friday.

“I think we’re looking at all opportunities for the state to save taxpayer money,” said Chuck Gara, director of the property control division of the state’s General Services Department.

The state was able to renegotiate the current lease for the Public Defender’s Office in Santa Fe at a $124,000 savings. Another

$152,000 a year will be saved at the Gaming Control Board.

Negotiations on the lease for the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation in Santa Fe netted a savings of $224,000.

The ability to save on leases is a sign of the economic times, Gara said.

“When leases were signed five, seven or 10 years ago, rents were higher,” he said.

Now “we can give them more time on the lease, but have us pay less.”

The state leases about 60 percent of the office space it uses, and officials plan to continue looking for savings in its 400 leases. The state has identified another $164,000 in savings through lease modifications that are in progress.

Martinez said in a statement that state government is cutting costs just like everyone else.

save money and live responsibly, state government must do the same,” she said.

The move to save rent money is part of a trend started during former Gov. Bill Richardson’s tenure, especially in Santa Fe, where the state uses more office space than anywhere else.

It also comes as Martinez is preparing to make a major decision on building a new government supercomplex south of Santa Fe on a site known as Las Soleras. While plans were in place to go forward before Martinez took office, she has asked for more time to make a final decision.

In addition, the state in the long term is considering a new executive office building near the Capitol, and the Department of Public Safety has plans for two new state-owned offices in Las Vegas, N.M., and Las Cruces, Gara said.

With Mars the ultimate goal for astronauts, NASA will use Curiosity to measure radiation at the red planet. The rover also has a weather station on board that will provide temperature, wind and humidity readings; a computer software app with daily weather updates is planned.

No previous Martian rover has been so sophisticated.

Claborn of Post, Texas, sipped cocoa and munched on cookies before following a refuge van out to a sightseeing post in their own vehicle.

Clabor n is one of the Thanksgiving travelers Masters hoped for — she was visiting family in Roswell when she decided to take advantage of the free event to enjoy one of her favorite hobbies: exploring nature. “There are a lot of things I didn’t know about Bitter Lake,� Claborn said, just moments after watching the orientation video

about the refuge’s wildlife. “The birds are gorgeous.�

The orientation video was followed by another video about the area’s dragonflies and damselflies — perhaps the best-known creatures on the refuge. Although the sisters usually enjoy events that are bird or fish related, it was the story of a dragonfly’s birth and life that struck Anderson the most. “I didn’t know all those things about dragonflies,� she said.

The number of cranes at Bitter Lake NWR

Earth, rather than en route to the Martian moon Phobos. “Mars really is the Bermuda Triangle of the solar system,� said NASA’s Colleen Hartman, assistant associate administrator for science. “It’s the death planet, and the United States of America is the only nation in the world that has ever landed and driven robotic explorers on the surface of Mars, and now we’re set to do it again.�

Curiosity’s arrival next August will be particularly hair-raising.

In a spacecraft first, the rover will be lowered onto the Martian surface via a jet pack and tether system similar to the sky cranes used to lower heavy equipment into remote areas on Earth.

Curiosity is too heavy to use air bags like its much smaller predecessors, Spirit and Opportunity, did in 2004. Besides, this new way should provide for a more accurate landing.

Astronauts will need to

make similarly precise landings on Mars one day.

Curiosity will spend a minimum of two years roaming around Gale Crater, chosen from among more than 50 potential landing sites because it’s so rich in minerals. Scientists said if there is any place on Mars that might have been ripe for life, it may well be there.

The rover should go farther and work harder than any previous Mars explorer because of its power source: 10.6 pounds of radioactive plutonium. The nuclear generator was encased in several protective layers in case of a launch accident.

NASA expects to put at least 12 miles on the odometer, once the rover sets down on the Martian surface.

McCuistion anticipates being blown away by the never -before-seen vistas. “Those first images are going to just be stunning, I believe. It will be like sitting in the bottom of the Grand Canyon,� he said at a post-

According to the press release, about 20 positions will be eliminated if the consolidation occurs.

already tattered alliance vital to winding down the 10-year-old Afghan war.

Islamabad called the bloodshed in one of its tribal areas a “grave infringement� of the country’s sovereignty, and it could make it even more difficult for the U.S. to enlist Pakistan’s help in pushing Afghan insurgents to engage in peace talks.

A NATO spokesman said it was likely that coalition airstrikes caused Pakistani casualties, but an investigation was being conducted to determine the details. If confirmed, it would be the deadliest friendly fire incident by NATO against Pakistani troops since the Afghan war began a decade ago.

A prolonged closure of Pakistan’s two Afghan border crossings to NATO supplies could cause serious problems for the coalition. The U.S., which is the largest member of the NATO force in Afghanistan, ships more than 30 percent of its non-lethal supplies through Pakistan. The coalition has alternative routes through Central Asia into northern Afghan-istan, but they are costlier and less efficient.

Pakistan temporarily closed one of its Afghan crossings to NATO supplies last year after U.S. helicopters accidentally killed two Pakistani soldiers. Suspected militants took advantage of the impasse to launch attacks against stranded or rerouted trucks carrying NATO supplies. The government reopened the border after about 10 days when the U.S. apologized. NATO said at the

This is the third astronomical mission to be launched from Cape Canaveral by NASA since the retirement of the venerable space shuttle fleet this summer. The Juno probe is en route to Jupiter, and twin spacecraft named Grail will arrive at Earth’s moon on New Year’s Eve and Day. Unlike Juno and Grail, Curiosity suffered development programs and came in two years late and nearly $1 billion over budget. Scientists involved in the project noted Saturday that the money is being spent on Earth, not Mars, and the mission is costing every American about the price of a movie. “I’ll leave you to judge for yourself whether or not that’s a movie you’d like to see,� said California Institute of Technology’s John Grotzinger, the project scientist. “I know that’s one I would.� rials will be made available online one week prior to the meeting at about. usps.com/streamliningoperations/area-mail-processing.htm.

time the relatively short closure did not significantly affect its ability to keep its troops supplied.

But the reported casualties are much greater this time, and the relationship between Pakistan and the U.S. has severely deteriorated over the past year, especially following the covert American raid that killed Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani garrison town in May. Islamabad was outraged it wasn’t told about the operation beforehand.

The government announced it closed its border crossings to NATO in a statement issued after an emergency meeting of the Cabinet’s defense committee chaired by Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.

It also said that within 15 days the U.S. must vacate Shamsi Air Base, which is located in southwestern Baluchistan province. The U.S. uses the base to service drones that target alQaida and Taliban militants in Pakistan’s tribal region when they cannot return to their bases inside Afghanistan because of weather conditions or mechanical difficulty, said U.S. and Pakistani officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive strategic matters.

The government also plans to review all diplomatic, military and intelligence cooperation with the U.S. and other NATO forces, according to the statement issued after the defense committee meeting.

The border issue is a major source of tension between Islamabad and Washington, which is committed to withdrawing its combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. “They believe in the campaign so much,� Cloutier said of the generous employees.

OPINION

New Mexico took 66 years to achieve statehood

SANTA FE — On Aug. 28, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez kicked off our state’s centennial celebration. The governor may have been a little early for our Jan. 6 birthday but despite being the Land of Manana, New Mexico seldom is late to start a celebration.

On Sept. 1 Gov. Martinez ordered that all state agencies promote the centennial. One of the first agency promotions we saw was some magnificently large posters documenting New Mexico’s significant events from the time the United States occupied our territory in 1846 until today.

One three-foot by two-foot poster tells the story of New Mexico’s long, 66-year effort to gain statehood. The other poster chronicles important New Mexico events from our state’s past 100 years.

The posters have been produced by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs and are targeted primarily at schools, libraries and museums. They also are available to the general public by contacting Sarah Ives at the Department of Cultural Affairs, 505-984-2012. You

The following are some of the important events leading up to statehood that are listed on the chart. (My comments are in parentheses.)

1846 – Mexican American War begins. U.S. Army under Stephen Watts Kearny occupies New Mexico.

1847 – U.S. forces suppress the New Mexico Revolt of 1847. (This often is referred to as the Taos Revolt, in which Gov. Charles Bent was scalped, then killed. The lives of his family and Kit Carson’s wife were spared.)

1848 – Mexican American War ends with the signing of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

Roswell Daily Record

1850 – In the Compromise of 1850, New Mexico becomes a territory of the U.S., including much of what is now Arizona and southern Colorado. Boundary conflict with Texas is settled and war averted.

Texas always wanted as much of New Mexico as it could get, preferably all the way to the Rio Grande.

This agreement gave them about 600,000 acres along the border.

1854 – Gadsden Purchase from Mexico adds 45,000 square miles to New Mexico territory.

1862 – Civil War battles of Valverde, Glorietta Pass and Peralta are fought ending the invasion of New Mexico. The California Column of Union troops arrives in New Mexico.

1863 – U.S. Territory of Arizona is established.

1872 – New Mexico Territorial Legislature approves a constitution.

1875 – Act enabling New Mexico statehood fails in U.S. Congress.

1876 – Another enabling act for New Mexico statehood passes in Senate but dies in U.S. House.

1878 – Atchison, Topeka and

Santa Fe railroad tracks cross into New Mexico at Raton Pass.

1880 – Railroad reaches Santa Fe, ending commerce on the Santa Fe Trail.

1885 – New Territorial Capitol Building is completed in Santa Fe. 1889 – Act enabling statehood for New Mexico (which called for a name change to the State of Montezuma) fails.

1890 – Proposed state constitution voted down by New Mexico voters by more than 2-1.

1892 – Fire destroys Territorial Capitol Building. Archives saved.

1895 – New Mexico statehood bill dies in U.S. Senate after passing House.

1901 – Statehood Convention passes resolutions critical of U.S. Congress for not granting New Mexico statehood. Former Gov. L. Bradford Prince delivers famous “Statehood for New Mexico” speech in which he says, “In no part of the nation has there ever been such a protracted struggle for self-government as in New Mexico.”

1902 – Omnibus bill enabling

Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona statehood passes U.S. House.

1903 – Omnibus bill dies in Senate after long filibuster led by Sen. Albert J. Beveridge.

1905 – Bill to admit Arizona and New Mexico as one state dies in Congressional conference committee.

1906 – Joint Arizona-New Mexico statehood bill (as one state to be called Arizona) passes Congress.

People of New Mexico vote yes. Arizona votes no.

1910 – New Mexico constitution is written.

1911 – New Mexico voters approve constitution. Congress accepts.

1912 – President Taft signs on Jan. 6.

World Opinion Obama’s Asia Pacific region trip

In his speech to the Australian Parliament, President Barack Obama said that his top priority is the Asia Pacific region.

Really? The Asia Pacific region is more important than the Middle East with all its crises? More important than solving the Palestinian-Israeli issue? More important than famine and political instability in the Horn of Africa and the dangers of it becoming a hub of international terrorism? More important than the nuclear ambitions that the U.S. is convinced Iran harbors?

At least it explains why the U.S. has given up all pretense of working for peace in the Middle East. It explains why the U.S. is doing nothing about the brutal repression in Syria.

It also explains why the White House so cravenly bowed to threats from Republicans in Congress over U.S. involvement in Libya and pulled U.S. planes out of the battle, leaving the action to the French, the British and other Europeans. It was not that important to Obama. Not that it would have been that difficult to get Congress’ support. But it was not a priority.

The Asia Pacific region is. What does that mean? Does it mean that the U.S. is now wholly focused on problems in the region?

Compared to the Middle East, there are none, apart from North Korea and its blackmailing regime. The only issue that binds the Asia Pacific region, other than concern about possible tsunamis, is trade. The U.S. has some major allies in the region — notably Japan, South Korea and the Philippines, also Australia and New Zealand — but China is purely a business partner. In everything else, politically, militarily and even economically it is America’s rival. So too is Russia, the other major power in the region.

It remains to be seen if Obama’s speech in Australia is the United States’ “East of Suez” moment. But for a nation that still is the most militarily powerful in the world yet now seems so unsure about wielding that power, it looks that might be the case.

Pipeline politics

A small group of U.S. legislators should be announcing a plan to clean up their country’s fiscal mess. Instead, the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the “Supercommittee”) gave up, two days early. Its failure to agree on how to cut $1.2-trillion from the deficit over 10 years triggers automatic and deep spending cuts as part of an earlier deal to raise the country’s debt ceiling — unless Congress unites to reverse those triggers.

But Congress should lie in the bed it made. The U.S. political class needs to stem the public’s hemorrhaging mistrust. The U.S.’s public finances need to be put on a sustainable footing.

The supercommittee itself was a product of political failure, of long-standing fiscal problems, made worse by the recession, and record levels of political brinkmanship.

But unlike other commissions to reduce the deficit, the supercommittee of six Democrats and six Republicans had tremendous authority. And for a time, it showed promise.

Some Republicans were open to tax increases and the elimination of tax deductions, a measure that most non-partisan observers (and many moderate Republicans outside Congress) agree is necessary to eliminate the deficit. Democrats consistently demonstrated their openness to the kinds of cuts that horrify their core constituencies. Yet agreement among 12 members of Congress was no easier to achieve than agreement among 535.

It would be better, though, to actually look into the abyss. And if it really is that scary, it ought to unite Congress to do something positive — reconvening something like the supercommittee; or taking a second look at the sound recommendations of another bipartisan committee, the Simpson-Bowles Commission. Ultimately, in a crisis, public confidence is restored when politicians try, not when they give up the fight.

Americans once took pride in ambition

For more than half my life I was a 99-percenter. I kept my first pay stubs in the news business to remind me where I came from and what was necessary in order to get where I am today.

In 1975, while working at a TV station in Houston, I wrote a letter to a friend in Washington complaining about my stalled career and low salary.

“I will probably die here with my boots on, boots bought on a revolving charge and not fully paid for,” I griped. My memory is not that good. He kept the letter and showed it to me a few years ago. We laughed.

DEAR DOCTOR K: My daughter recently turned 2. Now that she is more mobile (and more curious), I’m increasingly worried about home safety. I have childproofed much of my home, but I still worry about poisoning from household chemicals. How can I keep her safe?

Judiciary must be held accountable for actions Roswell Daily Record

STATE REP. DENNIS KINTIGH R-ROSWELL, DISTRICT 57

It has been with tremendous sadness that I have followed the recent developments regarding certain members of the New Mexico State Judiciary in various parts of the state. There have been incidents and allegations that have diminished and tarnished the reputation and standing of this branch of government.

Generally, people understand and expect the Legislature to be a partisan and contentious institution. I don’t believe that is a bad thing. Policy concepts that cannot survive the crucible of vigorous debate are probably not valid or worthy of implementation. Sometimes it takes years for policy to be implemented.

During that time each of us in the Legislature will critically examine the concept, and without hesitation challenge those we feel are invalid. It keeps all of us “on our toes.”

Similarly, the executive branch is constantly criticized and held accountable primarily, but not exclusively, by the

commission contained elements of a poison familiar to many who have succeeded in life by their own efforts. Democrats wanted to tax the rich even more, but has a tax increase ever resulted in less spending? When the federal government gets more of our money, it doesn’t suddenly become fiscally responsible. The more money it gets, often the more it spends.

In an America not long ago, we encouraged persistence. “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” was a little saying I often heard growing up. Now it seems the message too many are sending and receiving is, “If at first you don’t succeed, don’t try again; turn to government (or a lawyer).”

I am thankful to live in a country that still rewards hard work, personal responsibility and accountability. But that country, which was my role model as a young man, is rapidly fading into

opposition party. Again, this is as it should be. This cycle of confrontation and partisanship serves us well and is expected in these two branches.

The judiciary is somehow expected to be above all this, however, and therefore, immune to this contentiousness associated with the failings and shortcomings of mortal man.

Recent events and recent history have shown us that is an unreal expectation.

We have seen a state district court judge removed for mishandling a courtroom disruption and grossly violating the rights of scores of people. A recently elected appellate court judge resigned after an egregious drunk driving incident. Another district court judge was found to be cavorting with a prostitute. Finally, we have the distressing, troubling and sad saga of the district court judges in Las Cruces.

The unproven allegations of misconduct in that case are chilling. Statements that are reportedly recorded display an appalling and gross contempt for the rule of law and proper decorum. These allegations must have a full, fair and open hearing. But sadly, these recent events

history. Human nature is such that a substantial number of people can be addicted to a government check if they choose not to work. But many of our grandparents taught us by example that the pursuit of success was a noble quest. Parents once bragged about what their children had become.

How many parents are bragging about their kids occupying cities and universities and fouling the ground and streets with human waste?

Bill Bradley, former Democratic senator and professional basketball player, once observed: “Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.”

We should be thankful for such truth.

I would be more thankful if it were on the rise instead of in decline.

are not isolated.

Just a few years ago, the chief judge in the largest judicial district was caught possessing cocaine. The question of who provided that cocaine to a sitting judge and what this individual received in payment was never openly asked or answered. A former chief justice of the State Supreme Court attended a “going away party” for a disgraced political figure who had looted the public treasury and had betrayed the public trust. This act appeared to only disturb and dismay those who are not licensed to practice law in the state of New Mexico.

I believe that now is the time for a serious review of how the judiciary and legal profession as a whole is held accountable.

At this point, everything ultimately rests in the hands of five Supreme Court justices who are immune to, and independent of, meaningful outside accountability (when was the last time a justice lost a retention election?). I believe it is time to re-examine that approach. This is not a suggestion made lightly. The potential for any review of the current system degenerating into a partisan witch hunt is real

Imagine you’re polishing your coffee table. You turn away briefly to answer the phone, leaving an open bottle of polish. In seconds, your daughter could take a sip.

Over -the-counter and prescription drugs, as well as nutritional supplements, are also common sources of poisoning. Again, the poison is in a container, and the child explores the container with his or her mouth.

Children also like to imitate adults by using products they use, often in dangerous ways. Liquor is a potential poison if anyone, young or old, takes too much. And it’s much easier for a young child to drink too much.

The vast majority of judges I have known have been true noble servants of the people. I have gotten to know the chief justice on a personal level and have found him to be gracious and congenial. I like and respect him.

However, history has demonstrated over and over again that power and accountability exclusively held by a small group leads to catastrophe. The judiciary and the legal profession are too crucial to the success of our state for us to fail to have a system in which independent and outside individuals are the final arbitrators of misconduct.

Many are familiar with James Madison’s observation that, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary,” but few realize the phrase continues with, “If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” While the judiciary in many ways governs society, sadly, like the rest of government, it is not populated with angels. External controls are absolutely vital.

The containers are usually labeled with first aid information, should you need it.

Identify any poisonous household or yard plants in or around your home and remove them. And teach your child not to eat leaves, berries, mushrooms or plants.

Post telephone numbers for both your doctor and the poison control center (1-800-222-1222) next to every telephone in your house. Save them to your cell phone as well.

If (and only if) your doctor recommends it, keep activated charcoal or ipecac securely stored in your medicine cabinet. But NEVER use either one unless specifically told to by your doctor or the poison control center.

You can keep your daughter safe from poisoning; it just takes preparation and watchfulness.

The difference between heroes and victims A6 Sunday, November 27, 2011

Our world is packed with heroes and victims. There are some who carry a “hero” mentality and some who carry a “victim” mentality. There is a world of difference between these two perspectives on life.

Bad things happen to each one of us. It is a part of living. Life is 10 percent what happens and 90 percent how we respond. The 10 percent we don’t control doesn’t determine if we are a hero or a victim. It is determined by how we respond with our 90 percent.

In other words, it is not so important what happens to us. What is important is what happens in us.

Heroes are proactive and make things happen that benefit others. Victims are reactive and plan on others making things happen for them. A hero sees an obstacle as something to be conquered. A victim sees an obstacle as a dead end.

Whether a person is a hero or a victim is not tied to one’s body.

There are people who lose a limb or limbs and choose to be heroes in the lives they live. There are people with all of their body parts

that choose to live the life of a victim.

Victims want to tell the world about the hard past that they have lived. Heroes want to tell the world about the bright future that they are shaping. I recognize many people have had a terrible past. The world is full of heroes who have overcome their past just as it is full of victims whose life has been a cake walk. I want to challenge those with a horrible testimony to not let their difficult past steal away their bright future.

Heroes don’t consider taking handouts. They fall into the “selfmade” category. They work hard to control their own destiny. They

appreciate the fruits of their labor, because they have earned them.

Victims are people who feel they are entitled. They don’t think twice about receiving benefits that are provided by others. They focus on the question, “What do I get out of this?” They are “minimum” people. Victims do whatever the minimum is just to get by.

“Why should I do any more than the minimum?” is a common question.

We are all at different spots on the journey of life. That is all right. As different as our paths have been, none of us can change one step that we have walked. But we can take the past and springboard from it into the future.

A hero lives life positively impacting others. A victim expects others to impact him.

A hero is accountable. A victim always has an excuse.

A hero asks, “What can I do to make a difference.” A victim says, “What is the least I can do and get by.” A hero says, “Let me take care of that for you.” A victim says, “I’m not going to do that,

Lend-A-Hand in turn distributes the food items to various agencies in Roswell that help feed the hungry.

Thanks to you, our food drive was a huge success.

Given the economic downturn that our nation is facing, many people have fallen on hard times. Jobs are scarce, money is tight and many more are seeing empty pockets. More families are turning to food banks and food is running low.

According to Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger -relief charity, in 2010, 48.8 million Americans lived in food insecure households (32.6 million were adults and 16.2 million were children). The USDA states that 20 percent or more of the child population in 40

states and D.C. lived in food insecure households in 2009 as well. Furthermore, 32 percent of pantries, 42 percent of kitchens and 18 percent of shelters in the Feeding America network reported “many more children in the summer” being served by their programs.

So, please continue to give to your churches, shelters and community organizations throughout the year -because together “we ‘can’ make a dif ference” toward ending hunger in our community.

it’s not my job.”

A hero sees an answer for every problem. A victim sees a problem in every answer.

A hero says, “It may be difficult, but it’s possible.” A victim says, “It may be possible, but it’s too difficult.”

A hero sincerely listens to others. A victim doesn’t really care and just waits until it’s his turn to talk.

A hero makes a mistake and says, “I was wrong.” A victim makes a mistake and says, “It wasn’t my fault.”

A hero says, “Let me see what I can do for you.” A victim says, “You owe me.”

A hero recognizes he must earn what he receives. A victim believes he is entitled.

Heroes and victims use different points of reference. A hero says, “I’m good, but not as good as I could be.” A victim says, “I’m not as bad as a lot of other people.”

Heroes and victims view responsibilities differently. A hero feels responsible for more than his job. A victim says, “I only

My challenge to you is to be a hero and not a victim. The choice is yours. It really is.

No matter what your past is, choose to use it as a stepping stone to impact the future. Your life will not be lived in the past, but in the future. Don’t let a difficult past rob you of your bright future.

I don’t want to sound like I don’t care about victims, God loves them just as the rest of us, but I don’t want to enable them either because I know that a victim can become a hero.

Choose to live the life of a hero.

Choose to make a positive impact on each person you come into contact with. Choose to make your life be about adding value to the lives of others and be a hero.

MIAMI (AP) — Surprise, relief, joy and even some caution.

Such was the reaction of many NBA players and fans Saturday, amid news that the labor dispute which led to the cancellation of hundreds of games and threatened the entire season was nearing an end.

No schedules are out, the collective bargaining agreement has not been drafted and formal votes on the deal remain unscheduled. Still, for the first time in months, optimism seemed to take the lead over pessimism on the NBA’s emotional scoreboard.

“The journey now begins!!” soon-to-be Cleveland guard Kyrie Irving, the league’s No. 1 draft pick, wrote on Twitter.

Well, soon enough, anyway.

Barring either side rejecting the deal, training camps will open Dec. 9, with the league’s first three games set to be played on Christmas Day. The Utah Jazz invited fans to start calling again to discuss ticket options, the reigning NBA champion Dallas Mavericks

wrote “Go Mavs” on Twitter shortly after the middle-ofthe-night news conference to announce the breakthrough, and Shaquille O’Neal recorded a brief video to show his excitement.

“Haven’t crossed the finish line yet,” wrote Orlando guard J.J. Redick, “but there’s definitely a reason to be optimistic.”

The league and the union announced around 3 a.m.

that they had struck a tentative deal calling for a 66game season, meaning many owners — and players — were asleep, unaware of the news until they awoke.

Miami guard Dwyane Wade

was text-messaging with an associate shortly after 4 a.m. Eastern, and his reaction was subdued given the lateness of the hour.

“All I feel right now is ‘Finally,”’ Wade said to The Associated Press.

Free agent Shane Battier said he was getting “mad love” from fans in Memphis, Miami, Oklahoma City and Houston — teams that all figure to be in the mix for his services.

“I am happy it looks like we’ll get to start winning our fans back,” Battier wrote.

“Thanks for the patience.

Need to read new details before I pop the bubbly.”

Later, Battier poked fun at himself, saying that tweet made him sound like “a conservative old man,” adding that he was happy to just talk basketball again.

So was just about everyone else.

Even former players were relieved, including Basketball Hall of Fame player Isiah Thomas, a former union president during his time with the Detroit Pis-

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS SOONERS BEAT IOWA STATE

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — With an assist from Mother Nature, No. 12 Oklahoma got its defense back in order and set up a Bedlam showdown for the Big 12 championship.

Landry Jones threw for 256 yards, Blake Bell punched in two short touchdown runs and the Sooners limited Iowa State to a season-low 245 yards in a 26-6 victory on Saturday.

Rebounding after allowing a school-record 616 yards allowed last week in a 45-38 loss at Baylor, Oklahoma only let the Cyclones (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) score after James Winchester’s snap sailed over the head of punter Tress Way in the first quarter.

Oklahoma will visit No. 4 Oklahoma State — with the nation’s second-highest scoring offense — next week with the winner earning the Big 12 title.

“We’ve got a bigger challenge in front of us. Maybe we aren’t on a national championship run but we do have a shot at the Big 12,” nickel back Tony Jefferson said.

“We knew that this whole week and we knew we had to persevere and fight through all that.”

Trey Franks finished with 88 yards rushing on two long reverses to set up scores for the Sooners (9-2, 6-2), and Michael Hunnicutt matched his career-high with four field goals on a difficult day for offense.

Oklahoma was able to compile 509 yards of offense, including 253 on the ground — a total brought down by a 35-yard loss on the errant punt snap. That was plenty with the defense back on its game and the conditions making the type deep balls that hurt the Sooners last week tough to complete.

“It’s good to see them smile,” defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. “It’s been obviously a tough week after an emotional loss last week.

Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson (16) powers through a tackle from Ohio State’s C.J. Barnett in Michigan’s win over the Buckeyes, Saturday. The Wolverines snapped a sevengame losing skid to the Buckeyes with a 40-34 win.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Denard Robinson danced with his feet and dazzled with his arm, giving Michigan an edge at quarterback against Ohio State.

Finally.

Robinson accounted for five touchdowns, helping the 17th-ranked Wolverines beat the Buckeyes 40-34 on Saturday and snap a record seven-game losing streak against their archrival. He ran left, right and center, using his speed to blow past Buckeyes, juke moves to slip tackles and sacks and even showed some power when an extra yard was needed.

The star quarterback had a chance to leave college football’s winningest program when the spread coach he came to play for — Rich Rodriguez — was fired in January. This victory made it all worthwhile.

Tide rolls in Iron Bowl

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Trent Richardson and No. 2 Alabama tur ned the Iron Bowl into a statement game. Now, they’ll wait and see what happens in the national title and Heisman T r ophy races.

Richardson rushed for a career -high 203 yards and AJ McCarron threw thr ee first-half touchdown passes to lift the Crimson Tide to a 42-14 victory over rival Auburn on Saturday.

The T ide (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) has a week before finding out if its resume is good enough to secure a shot at a second national title in thr ee years. No. 5 Oklahoma State, fourth in the BCS standings, and No. 1 LSU have big games remaining against No. 12 Oklahoma and No. 13 Georgia, respectively.

Richar dson ran 27 times and caught a 5yard touchdown pass in his final chance to

impress Heisman voters.

He had runs of 35 and 57 yards to set up secondhalf scores.

Fans began chanting first “Heisman” and then “LSU” in the fourth, with a sizable contingent wearing crimson and white remaining in the stands afterward clamoring for a r ematch. By then, there wasn’t all that much orange and blue left.

The Tide fell to LSU 9-6 in an overtime game that ‘Bama fans at least feel didn’t settle the matter of which one is better.

It’s pretty clear who’s best in the state.

In the end, the win might have given the Tide enough style points to hold onto No. 2 in the BCS rankings whatever happens next week.

“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else except with these guys,” Robinson said. “I’m glad I stayed.”

And, coach Brady Hoke is happy he was given a chance to come back to Ann Arbor, where he was an assistant.

“I got the best job in the world,” Hoke said.

Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel used to think the same thing, especially when he made the Wolverines a target and beat them regularly when they were led by Lloyd Carr and Rodriguez.

Tressel was forced to resign nearly six months ago in the wake of a cash-for -Buckeyes memorabilia scandal that also led to quarterback Terrelle Pryor bolting for the NFL and several other players serving multiplegame suspensions in what became the program’s worst season on the field since 1999.

The Buckeyes are led by interim coach Luke Fickell — for now — but Tressel addressed his former players Friday before they boarded buses in Columbus, Ohio.

“To be able to see him again, I think it definitely got us pumped up,” Ohio State center Mike Brewster said.

The Buckeyes got off to a great start, scoring first on Braxton Miller’s 54-yard pass to Corey Brown and holding Robinson to a three-and-out drive.

Ohio State led twice more in the first half and had a 24-23 advantage at the break. After the Wolverines went ahead 30-24 on Robinson’s 20-yard pass to Martavious Odoms to open the second half, Ohio State pulled within three points early in the fourth and again midway through the

fourth quarter.

Michigan (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten) was forced to settle for a six-point lead with 1:59 left on Brendan Gibbons’ career -long 43-yard field goal after two apparent TDs were negated by a video review and then penalties.

The Buckeyes (6-6, 3-5) had the ball once more at their 20 with 1:59 left.

“I thought we had a chance,” Miller said.

They did.

But Miller sailed a pass over Deviser Posey’s head on what could’ve been a 76-yard TD, spiked the ball to stop the clock on third down with 45 seconds left — because he said the coaches told him to — then threw a loss-sealing interception to Courtney Avery.

“It’s a weird feeling,” Pose said.

“We’re not really used to it.”

Michigan isn’t used to beating the Buckeyes, igniting one of the most raucous celebrations anyone can remember in Ann Arbor, at least for seven years.

Robinson got the final snap cleanly, took a quick knee and set off a long, loud, maize-and-blue celebration.

Michigan Stadium’s field was flooded with fans after the home team ended a drought that lasted more than 2,900 days — a fact the players were reminded of each day by signs Hoke posted in Schembechler Hall soon after he was hired 10 months ago.

The public-address announcer tried in vain to get the field cleared for the bands, but they stayed in a cluster around the block ‘M’ at midfield and were sprinkled throughout the rest of the field as they soaked up a long-awaited moment. About 20 minutes later, Michigan’s band finally was able to take the field.

Robinson also showed he can do more than run.

He was 14 of 17 — completing 11 straight passes during one stretch — for 167 yards with TD passes to Junior Hemingway, Odoms and Kevin Koger. Robinson ran 26 times for 170 yards and two more scores and lost a fumble.

“I thought he played an aggressive, controlled football game,” Hoke said.

Miller was pretty good, too, especially for a freshman.

He was 14 of 25 for 235 yards with TD passes to Brown and Posey and ran 16 times for 100 yards and another score.

The Wolverines also had more success creating holes for their featured running back.

Fitzgerald Toussaint had 120 yards rushing, but didn’t score because video review overturned his apparent TD late in the game.

He was ruled down before getting in the end zone. Robinson then had a TD run negated by a holding penalty — and yet another flag after the play pushed Michigan back to the Ohio State 26, forcing Gibbons to make the

tons.

“I’m extremely pleased and relieved,” said Thomas, now the Florida International coach. “Basketball in society is extremely important for social reasons, for economic reasons and the game has always been used to bring people together — not tear them apart. That being said, I think the owners and the players realized that they are not bigger than the game. By them coming together and continuing to work together, I’m pleased with that.

That’s the way it should be.”

Thomas added that he got very concerned when lawsuits started getting filed.

Had the sides actually starting waging battles in courtrooms, Thomas feared the worst.

“Once the owners and players are going to court, relationships are severely damaged and severed forever,” he said. “Now that they’re back working together to better the game, those relationships have a chance to continue to exist.”

It should come as no surprise that the Heat — who will be among the favorites for the NBA title when the season gets rolling — were overjoyed by the news.

LeBron James, Mario Chalmers and even team owner Micky Arison told their Twitter followers that they couldn’t wait to get started.

“I feel like my kids on Xmas day! So juiced!!,” James wrote.

Added Chalmers: “I been waitin for this moment since June 12th,” referring to the day the Heat watched the Mavericks celebrate winning the NBA title in Miami. It’s expected that the teams will open up against each other on Christmas in Dallas, marking the first time that finalists from one year were matched up in a seasonopener since Utah and Chicago in 1999 (another season shortened by a work stoppage).

But not everyone was celebrating.

“With high school and college basketball now playing, who really needed the NBA?” asked Ed White of Allentown, Pa. who was at Saturday’s NJIT-St. Francis (NY) men’s basketball game in Newark. “I think they’re going to lose some fans because of this. The NBA treats its fans like they really don’t care. I’m personally offended by both the owners and the players’ attitudes through all of this.

They play for the fans. ... I think people will go back eventually, but not right away. It’s always about the money. The owners always want more. The players always want more. But when was the last time someone spent money to see an owner score a basket? The owners should realize that.”

Teams largely remained quiet, since the league’s lockout rules technically are still in place — and likely

35-yard interception return early in the fourth quarter. Alabama entered the quarter with a 309-44 advantage in total yards but also gave up touchdowns on a fumble recovery and a kick return.

McCarron completed 18 of 23 passes for 184 yards but only attempted five second-half passes. Richardson handled the rest. He gained 142 yards on 13 carries in the second half against a defense ranked 98th nationally against the run.

It was more than enough to end Auburn’s streak of 14 straight wins at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

The Tigers’ biggest offensive weapons were mostly nonfactors. Tailback Mike Dyer, the SEC’s No. 2 rusher, had three carries at the half and finished with 13 for 48 yards.

Clint Moseley completed 11 of 18 passes for a paltry 62 yards and the pick-6. Freshman backup Kiehl Frazier played much of the game but didn’t complete either of his two pass attempts.

The Tigers did threaten an offensive touchdown in the fourth but stalled on downs after getting it to the 5. Then Richardson scampered down the left sideline will stay that way until the deal is actually ratified and signed.

Players, however, turned en masse to Twitter to share their views, which seemed overwhelmingly positive.

—”Anddd we’re back! On a brighter note, America’s unemployment rate just lowered,” wrote New York’s Landry Fields.

—”Music to my ears this morning. Huge thanks goes out to all NBA fans for staying patient!,” said his Knicks teammate, Andy Rautins.

—”Thanks to all our fans for your patience. Amazing season comming!!!” added New Jersey’s Kris Humphries.

Many details of the agreement are still getting finalized, but it’s clear that owners gave in on a few issues to get the deal done — including the plan that players would get no more than 47 percent of basketball-related income. The target is still a 50-50 split, but with a band from 49 percent to 51 percent that gives the players a better chance of reaching the highest limit than previously proposed.

For players, getting those 3 BRI points back is no small victory — each point is worth around $40 million annually.

It’s not done, but it’s closer than many thought possible.

“Glad lockout is almost over,” veteran Jason Richardson wrote, “but I hope each player read the fine print and make the right decision.”

longest field goal of his career to force the Buckeyes to score a TD to win.

A miss there would have given Ohio State good field position with a great chance to at least tie the game and force overtime.

“There wasn’t a doubt in my mind,” Hoke insisted.

Ohio State’s Dan Herron was held to 37 yards rushing and a TD on 15 carries, but the Wolverines had trouble slowing down Miller just as they had previously with T roy Smith, who started Ohio State’s winning streak in 2004, and Pryor who extended it with last year’s win.

and sprinted to the other side of the field for the 57yarder.

Auburn managed to hang around for three quarters.

Then Milliner intercepted a badly overthrown pass by Moseley, who has now had three passes returned for TDs in Auburn’s three biggest games against LSU, Georgia and Bama.

The two-point play made it 35-14, and Aubur n couldn’t come close to a second straight huge Iron Bowl comeback.

Like last season, Alabama led 24-7 at the half. This time the Tigers didn’t have Cam Newton pulling the trigger on a comeback en route to a Heisman and a national title.

Auburn struck instantly in the second half. Onterio McCalebb returned the opening kick 83 yards for a touchdown, the Tigers’ first score on a kick return in Iron Bowl history.

The Tigers then held Alabama to a field goal and converted a fourth-and-1 near midfield but couldn’t sustain the momentum change.

Auburn followed it up with a fumbled pitch for a 10yard loss, a penalty and a lateral to Frazier, who badly overthrew a receiver deep.

Alabama outgained the Tigers 397-140 and held Auburn to 3 of 15 on third downs.

Tech topples Virginia, 38-0

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Logan Thomas threw for two touchdowns and ran for one and David Wilson scored on two long runs in the second half as No. 6 Virginia Tech shut out No. 24 Virginia 38-0 on Saturday.

The Hokies (11-1, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) earned the league’s Coastal Division title and a rematch with No. 18 Clemson in next weekend’s ACC championship game in Charlotte.

It was Virginia Tech’s eighth consecutive victory in the series, and 12th in 13 games. They will be playing for the ACC title for the fifth time and seeking their fourth title in five years.

The Cavaliers (8-4, 5-3) had won four straight and seemed ready to finally challenge their state rival, but quarterback Michael Rocco threw two interceptions and fumbled it away once.

The Hokies, who lost 23-3 to Clemson early in the season, will be playing their third title game rematch in the ACC, and are 2-0 in the first two, having beaten Boston College both times.

They got to this title game by shutting down Virginia’s running game, which came in averaging better than 177 yards, and that enabled the Hokies to get plenty of pressure on Rocco when he had to throw. He had been sacked just 11 times coming into the game, but was thrown for a

loss four times.

The Cavaliers finished with just 30 rushing yards on 26 attempts and gained 241 yards.

Virginia also had no answer for Thomas early or Wilson late, and when the Hokies drove 79 yards for a touchdown to open the third quarter, extending their lead to 21-0, the largest crowd of the season

at Scott Stadium (61,124) grew quiet — except for the Hokies fans.

Wilson capped the drive with a 27-yard burst off the left side. He added a 38yard run up the middle for another touchdown early in the fourth quarter and fans headed for the exits.

Some questions, answers about the NBA labor deal

MIAMI (AP) — No, the NBA lockout is not over. Not yet, but soon — once owners and players approve the deal that would have NBA games resume on Christmas Day. Here’s a look at some of the most prevalent questions about the state of things in the league right now.

Q: What happened to get this deal done?

A: As one person involved in the talks told The Associated Press, “sanity prevailed.” Neither side was winning. Owners were losing money. Players were losing money. Fans were getting angry. Because Christmas is traditionally the day when the public really start watching NBA games, there was a late push to try and to salvage the Dec. 25 schedule.

Q: So it’s done?

A: Well, no. There’s still a slew of issues to work through, and then there’s the not-sosmall matter of having owners and players actually vote on the deal. Though the deal’s expected to be approved, it won’t be unanimous as there are factions of hard-liners in both camps who will be unhappy with substantive portions of the deal.

Q: How could union chief Billy Hunter and president Derek Fisher “negotiate” with the NBA if the players’ union had been disbanded?

A: When players dissolved the union that meant Hunter and Fisher no longer had the power to negotiate and agree to terms for the players. What could happen and what did happen with the NBA, as it did with the NFL this summer, is that lawyers and representatives for both sides can hold discussions under the guise of antitrust settlement talks. Hunter is an attorney. He knew the rules and the risks. Certainly, this could have blown up for the players and risked their antitrust lawsuit in Minnesota.

Q: What happens to that lawsuit?

A: Barring something crazy, the players will ask that it be dismissed. The league also must dismiss its New York lawsuit about the legality of the lockout.

Q: When will training camp start?

A: Dec. 9. Free agency is expected to begin then, too, meaning some locker rooms may as well start installing revolving doors now.

Q: And the first games?

A: The league wants three games on Christmas Day, and it’s a safe bet the previously scheduled matchups — Boston at New York, Miami at Dallas in a finals rematch, and Chicago at the Los Angeles Lakers — will go on as planned. The Dec. 26 schedule and beyond? Get out your erasers. A lot will be changing.

Q: I don’t understand. If there’s a deal, why is nothing happening for two weeks?

A: Only the framework of a deal is in place. Now the rules, the language, the nuances, they all must be put to paper by the lawyers who will be charged with actually writing the new collective bargaining agreement. Until that’s done, no players can be signed, traded, etc., since there are still no real operating rules by which teams would have to abide.

Q: How will the schedule work?

A: Still unclear. The easiest way to fill a 66-game schedule would be for teams to play four games against each divisional opponent (16 games) and two games

Broncos fall by 4 PLANO, Texas — The New Mexico Military Institute men’s basketball team dropped back to .500 on Saturday with a 68-64 loss to Collin County at Cougar Hall.

The Broncos trailed 35-25 at the break, but battled back to make things tight down the stretch before the rally fell short.

“Under difficult circumstances, this young group played with tremendous heart and courage to battle back and stay in this game,” said Bronco coach Sean Schooley after the loss. “They could have easily folded with the situation, but they didn’t.

“They played extremely hard and I’m very proud of them.”

No individual statistics were available at press time.

The Broncos fell to 5-5 with the loss.

against every other team in the league (50 games). It would also ensure that every team makes at least one appearance in every league arena, which is what fans would want anyway. A season without Kobe Bryant going to Madison Square Garden?

Not happening.

Q: Will there be preseason games?

A: A person involved with the process tells The AP there will be, but details are still pending. (A good guess: Teams would play two games, probably against a nearby rival.)

It’s a strong possibility that those games will have reams of low-priced tickets, a gesture of apologizing to fans for the delay in getting basketball going again.

Q: What about the players who signed overseas? Can they come home?

A: In most cases, yes. New Jersey guard Deron Williams said on Twitter early Saturday that he would soon be leaving his Turkish club, Besiktas. That team will not be thrilled to see him leave — Williams had a 50-point game a few days ago. Some players who signed deals with Chinese clubs may have to work a bit harder (or, well, pay) to escape those contracts.

Q: What happens to these scheduled charity games, like the “Homecoming Tour” featuring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony, or Mario Chalmers’ game in Alaska on Dec. 1?

A: Organizers were working Saturday to salvage at least some of them. Wade said he wanted to use the planned four-game tour he’s involved with as a way to play competitive basketball before the season, even though he didn’t know at the time when the season would begin. Although most players are in great shape, there’s a big difference between that and “game shape.” A two-week training camp might not be enough time to get them there, either.

Suh: Actions ‘unacceptable’

DETROIT (AP) — For the first seasonand-a-half of his young career, Ndamukong Suh could almost brush off talk about his penalties and fines, saying he would keep doing what was needed to help his Detroit Lions.

After hurting the team with a penalty and ejection on Thanksgiving, Suh now says he has learned his lesson.

“My reaction on Thursday was unacceptable,” the star defensive tackle said in a statement on his Facebook page Friday night. “I made a mistake, and have learned from it. I hope to direct the focus back to the task at hand — by winning.”

The statement appeared on Suh’s page around the same time he was publically chastised by the Lions, one night after being ejected Thursday in a loss to Green Bay for stomping at an opposing player.

“The on-field conduct exhibited by Ndamukong Suh that led to his ejection from yesterday’s game was unacceptable and failed to meet the high level of sportsmanship we expect from our players,” the team said.

“Ndamukong has made many positive contributions to the Lions on and off the field. We expect his behavior going forward to consistently reflect that high standard of professionalism.”

It could be several days before Suh finds out the true cost of his third-quarter stomp in Detroit’s 27-15 loss to the Packers on Thursday. An NFL spokesman said Friday that plays from Week 12 looked at for potential discipline won’t be reviewed until all games are completed.

Detroit coach Jim Schwartz was curt after Thursday’s defeat when asked if he was worried about a possible suspension.

“I’m worried about losing this game,” Schwartz said.

Suh was dismissed after tangling with Packers offensive lineman Evan DietrichSmith. After being pushed off Dietrich-Smith, Suh stepped down hard with his right foot, appearing to make contact with DietrichSmith’s right arm.

Immediately after the game, Suh defended himself, saying he was trying to keep his balance while freeing himself from the brief scuffle. He publically apologized to teammates, coaches and fans Thursday for “allowing the refs to have an opportunity to take me out of this game,” but he insisted he didn’t intentionally step on anyone.

“People are going to have their own opinions — that’s fine,” he said after the game.

“The only (people) that I really care about are my teammates, my true fans and my coaches and their opinions, and that’s where it lies. And honestly, the most important person in this whole thing that I have to deal with is the man upstairs.”

In his Friday statement on Facebook, he said he’d had more time to reflect.

“Playing professional sports is not a game,” he said. “It is a profession with great responsibility, and where performance on and off the field should never be compromised. It requires a calm and determined demeanor, which cannot be derailed by the game, referee calls, fans or other players.”

In less than two seasons as a pro, Suh has established himself as one of the game’s strongest and most athletic defensive linemen, but he’s also received his share of fines.

Suh requested and received a meeting earlier this month with Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss his play. He said that dialogue was helpful, but now the league will have to decide whether more discipline is merited after he was ejected on national television.

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan came up with one tongue-in-cheek solution Friday.

“I’ll be honest with you, I think the young man, he should be released ... and come to the Jets,” Ryan joked. “I’m just throwing that out there. I don’t think he’s that good of a player. I don’t know about the incident and all that jazz, but we’ll take him. We’ll sacrifice that way.”

Ryan then turned a little more serious.

“I don’t even know what to say on it,” Ryan said. “You’ve seen things like that happen on the field before. It’s an emotional game.”

Jets offensive lineman Matt Slauson, who played with Suh at Nebraska, sounded off on the topic Friday.

“Somebody needs to get him under control, because he’s trying to hurt people,” Slauson told the New York Post. “It’s one thing to be an incredibly physical player and a tenacious player, but it’s another thing to set out to end that guy’s career.”

Slauson said last year that he and Suh used to mix it up in practice while in college.

“There were times we got into fights, during spring ball, during camp, but I kind of fought everyone,” Slauson said then.

In 2006, Albert Haynesworth, then with the Tennessee Titans, was suspended five games after swiping his cleats across the head of helmetless Dallas center Andre Gurode. Suh’s stomp wasn’t toward DietrichSmith’s head, and the Green Bay player didn’t seem too much worse for wear.

When asked afterward where Suh stepped on him, Dietrich-Smith sounded like he didn’t want to stir the pot.

“I have no idea,” he said. “I have to watch the tape.”

Top 25 Roundup

By The Associated Press No. 4 STANFORD 28, No. 22 NOTRE DAME 14 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Andrew Luck set the school record for the most career touchdown passes and eclipsed his own single-season mark, throwing for 233 yards and four scores to lead fourth-ranked Stanford past No. 22 Notre Dame 28-14 in his home finale Saturday night.

Luck topped John Elway’s record of 77 touchdown passes and helped the Cardinal (11-1) build a 21-0 halftime lead. He has thrown for 80 touchdowns in three years and 35 this season.

Tommy Rees threw an interception, lost a fumble and took a bruising blow to the ribs

Sunday, November 27, 2011 for Notre Dame (8-4) before getting benched. Andrew Hendrix threw for 192 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score in a second-half rally for the Fighting Irish that came up short.

No. 7 BOISE STATE 36, WYOMING 14 BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Kellen Moore tossed three touchdown passes, including a 46-yarder on the final play of the first half, to lead Boise State.

After getting off to a sluggish start, Moore and the Broncos (10-1, 5-1) rattled off 36 straight points to put the game away and secure a second-place finish in their first year as a member of the Mountain West Conference.

Moore was 24 of 36 for 279 yards and he threw touchdown passes of 17 and 10 yards in the second half.

Wyoming (7-4, 4-2) scored first when linebacker Luke Anderson picked off Moore’s pass early in the first quarter and ran 29 yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys were held to 191 total yards and 78 yards passing.

No. 11 MICHIGAN STATE 31, NORTHWESTERN 17 EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) — Keshawn Martin returned a punt 57 yards for a touchdown just before halftime and Kirk Cousins threw two TD passes to B.J. Cunningham as No. 11 Michigan State warmed up for next week’s Big Ten championship game.

The Spartans had already wrapped up the Legends Division title and a berth in the league championship game next week. Now they have the best record in the division, as well, and 10 victories overall (10-2, 7-1).

Cousins threw a 33-yarder to Cunningham in the third quarter and hit him again on a juggling 29-yard TD pass with 5:17 left to complete a 93-yard drive. It was the 62nd career touchdown pass for Cousins, breaking the school record held by Jeff Smoker (61).

Northwestern (6-6, 3-5) had its four-game winning streak snapped in the regular-season finale and now hopes for a bowl bid. The Wildcats closed to 24-17 early in the final quarter on Dan Persa’s 12-yard TD pass to Demetrius Fields, set up by a clutch fourthdown pass from Persa to Jeremy Ebert.

No. 13 GEORGIA 31, No. 25 GEORGIA TECH 17 ATLANTA (AP) — Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and Georgia extended its domination over Georgia Tech.

The Bulldogs (10-2) did not get caught looking past their state rival to next week’s return trip to Atlanta, when they will take a 10-game winning streak into the Southeastern Conference championship game against top-ranked LSU. Murray extended his school record for touchdown passes in a season to 32, hooking up with Michael Bennett and Chris Conley in the first half, and Tavarres King and Aron White in the third quarter as Georgia cruised to its 10th win over the Yellow Jackets in 11 years.

Georgia Tech (8-4) rushed for 243 yards, but just 79 after halftime. Tevin Washington threw a pair of interceptions.

No. 14 SOUTH CAROLINA 34, No. 18 CLEMSON 13 COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Connor Shaw threw for three touchdowns and ran for another to lead South Carolina to a 10-win season for the first time in 27 years and its third straight victory against Clemson.

The Gamecocks (10-2) choked off Clemson’s once-high scoring offense, holding the Tigers (9-3) to 153 yards and Atlantic Coast Conference passing leader Tajh Boyd to 83 yards through the air.

Clemson was part of the BCS title talk a month ago when it opened 8-0 and rose to No. 6 in the country. But it heads to the ACC title game against Virginia Tech next week a shaky team after losing three of its past four.

Oregon beats Oregon State 49-21 in the Civil War

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — It clear that became LaMichael James wasn’t too badly hurt when he and Oregon teammate Kenjon Barner danced on the sidelines before the start of the fourth quarter.

The junior duo bopped to “Shout!” with the rest of the crowd at Autzen Stadium as the No. 9 Ducks cruised to a 49-21 victory over Oregon State in the Civil War rivalry game to clinch the Pac-12 North and a spot in the league’s first championship game.

Earlier in the quarter, James — who ran for 142 yards and the game’s first touchdown — left with an injured left elbow.

“It’s good,” he said, vigorously flexing his elbow after the game. “I could’ve played.”

The demonstration was assurance that he’d be ready next Friday night when Oregon (10-2, 8-1 Pac-12) host UCLA with a chance to win a third straight conference title and a spot in the Rose Bowl.

Quarterback Darron Thomas, who threw for 305 yards and four touchdowns, said a victory in the Civil War was one of the goals Oregon set at the start of the season. The Ducks have won the last four in the 115-game history of the rivalry.

“This was a big game for the team and we wanted to win it for Eugene,” Thomas said. “The win wasn’t just for us, it was for the fans.”

The Beavers (3-9, 3-6) aren’t going to a bowl game for the second straight season.

“I like this team for the fact that they kept working.

It didn’t amount to much

Oregon running back Kenjon Barner, right, holds off Oregon State’s Anthony Watkins with a stiff arm in the Ducks’ win over the Beavers in the Civil War, Saturday. Oregon won, 49-21. today considering the result of the game, but I think the fact that they certainly have improved, they kept a good attitude,” Oregon State coach Mike Riley said. “I think it’s a tribute to the group of seniors that we have and I think it bodes well for the guys that are all coming back to this team when we get started in January. That’s what we have to look forward to.”

James, a Heisman finalist last season, entered the game as the nation’s top rusher with an average of 142.78 yards per game. He was hurt midway through the third when he was hit

by Oregon State linebacker Tony Wilson.

Ganaway, Baylor win

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nick Florence threw two long touchdown passes after Robert Griffin was knocked out of the game and No. 21 Baylor extended its winning streak to four games with a 66-42 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday night.

The Bears (8-3, 5-3 Big 12) had to win it without Griffin, whose Heisman Trophy chances were dealt a setback because of an apparent concussion.

Still, Baylor set a school mark for most points in a conference game — Big 12 or the Southwest Conference for decades before that — and was already ahead to stay when Griffin scored on a 3-yard keeper just before halftime. That score came after he was on the sideline for one play after taking an elbow to the helmet while sliding at the end of a run.

Terrance Ganaway rushed 42 times for 246 yards and two touchdowns, giving him a school-record 14 for the Bears, who reached eight wins for the first time since 1991.

Texas Tech (5-7, 2-7) finished with its first losing record since 1992. The Red Raiders lost their last five games after a 41-38 upset last month at Oklahoma, which Baylor beat at home last week.

Griffin had scrambled from one side of the field to the other and slid inside the 5 with a first down when defensive back Cornelius Douglas came in hard with an elbow that knocked Griffin’s head back to the turf. The quarterback remained flat on his back for a couple of moments before coming out of the game for a play. He then returned for his second touchdown run to make it 31-21.

yards on 24 carries and tied the ACC record with his 10th 100-yard game of the season. Thomas was 13 for 21 for 187 yards and ran for 27 yards on seven tries.

The 6-foot-6, 254-

pounder got started right away, too.

He hit Marcus Davis for 36 yards on the Hokies’ first play from scrimmage, and Wilson broke off a 17yard run on the next play.

A 5-yard run by Wilson and 15-yard facemasking penalty on Chase Minnifield moved the Hokies to Virginia’s 14, and Thomas

was already wearing a brace on his right elbow, which he dislocated on Oct. 6 against Califor nia. He missed two games because of that injury.

Oregon looked as if it was making a strong bid for a spot in the BCS championship game until last weekend, when the Ducks fell to Southern California 38-35. But they bounced back easily against Oregon State.

Versatile freshman De’Anthony Thomas rushed for 71 yards and had 10 catches for 86 yards and a score. Barner ran for 64 yards and a touchdown, and also caught a scoring pass.

“I feel like we played real

well,” said De’Anthony Thomas, who finished with 197 all-purpose yards. “I can’t wait to play next week. We’re gonna play even better.”

Redshirt freshman Sean Mannion threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns for the Beavers. But Oregon State struggled on the ground with just 16 yards rushing, compared to Oregon’s 365.

James scored early on a 1-yard run, becoming Oregon’s all-time leading scorer with 324 points.

The Beavers tied it at 7 when Jovan Stevenson grabbed a swing pass from Mannion and weaved his way downfield for a touchdown early in the second

quarter.

“I don’t know if I was nervous, more like excited,” Mannion said. “You get to play in a rivalry and after the first play, it’s just playing football. That’s all there is to it.”

Before the half Oregon scored on Darron Thomas’ 16-yard pass to David Paulson and his 8-yard pass to De’Anthony Thomas.

Darron Thomas hit Barner with another 16-yard TD just before halftime to make it 28-7. Barner ran a yard for another score in the third quarter, and Thomas connected with freshman Colt Lyerla for a 39-yard touchdown early in the fourth.

Mannion threw two TDs in the fourth quarter to Kevin Cummings (19 yards) and Brandin Cooks (23 yards).

Oregon State flanker James Rodgers did not suit up because of a left ankle injury. It was to be the final game of a college career with some great moments and a severe injury.

In the 2007 Civil War, Rodgers scored on a fly sweep in overtime to give the Beavers a 38-31 victory at Autzen Stadium. Oregon State has not defeated their in-state rival since then.

“I told him I did not think he looked good and that I didn’t think he should play,” said Riley, who made the call after watching Rodgers in pregame warmups. “It’s obviously tough, but ... being his last game also wouldn’t have been any good to put him at risk. So I didn’t think it was wise.”

Rodgers was a fifth-year senior this season coming off a pair of knee surgeries.

Oregon linebacker Dewitt Stuckey (shoulder) and end Dion Jordan (ankle) both played against Oregon State after leaving with injuries against USC. Last weekend’s loss to USC at Autzen Stadium snapped a 21-game winning streak at home and a 19-game win streak in conference games. The Ducks haven’t lost two straight at home since 2002.

“I felt like we shouldn’t have lost that game,” De’Anthony Thomas said.

“But those things happen.

Now we gotta get back and win the Pac-12 championship.”

Badgers earn spot in Big Ten title game

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Reeling after back-to-back losses took them out of the national championship picture a month ago, running back Montee Ball and No. 15 Wisconsin have rallied for a spot in the Big Ten title game and a shot at the Rose Bowl.

And as Ball makes a run at the NCAA’s single-season touchdown record, the Badgers just might be grooming a late-blooming Heisman T rophy contender.

Ball scored four more touchdowns and Wisconsin routed No. 20 Penn State 45-7 on Saturday. With the win, Wisconsin will play Big Ten Legends division winner Michigan State in Indianapolis next Saturday.

“We had a group of men in our room that we knew would take one day at a time to get to where we wanted to be,” Badgers coach Bret Bielema said.

“They started on a process to get through the last four weeks. Bottom line: We won a trophy today to earn a way to Indianapolis and can’t wait to get there.”

Wisconsin went into the season promoting quarterback Russell Wilson for the Heisman, but recently added a push for Ball. Ball has scored 34 touchdowns this season for the Badgers (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten), the second-most in a single season in NCAA history.

Barry Sanders holds the record, scoring 39 for Oklahoma State in 11 games in the 1988 season.

Can Ball break it?

“Whatever the offensive line wants,” Ball said. “If

they want me to get there, then I’ll get there. But I’m really looking forward to that, it’s an entire offensive achievement, it’s going to be a great feeling if I do break it.”

He finished with 156 yards on 25 carries.

The Nittany Lions (9-3, 62) came into the game hoping to salvage something from a season dwarfed by scandal. They took an early 7-0 lead but quickly unraveled, falling behind 28-7 by halftime.

Penn State interim coach Tom Bradley was frustrated by tur novers and poor tackling — but insists that his team deserves to go to a bowl game despite a scandal that has tainted the entire program.

“They didn’t have anything to do with it,” Bradley

ran it in from there.

It was his 10th rushing touchdown, a record for a quarterback under coach Frank Beamer, who once had Michael Vick as his QB. Virginia tried to answer, driving to the Hokies’ 6, but on fourth-and-2, the Cavaliers elected to go for it, and Kevin Parks was

tripped up by Jack Tyler after gaining only a yard.

Tyler later also recovered a fumble by Rocco that was forced by Kyle Fuller on a sack.

Following an exchange of punts, which found the Hokies starting at their own 4, Thomas twice converted third down plays with first-down runs, then

said. “They weren’t involved in any way. And I think they deserve an opportunity to play in a bowl.”

The Nittany Lions came into Saturday’s game still reeling in the wake of child sex abuse charges against former Nittany Lions assistant Jerry Sandusky, which led to turmoil on campus and the end of coach Joe Pater no’s reign at the school.

For now, Bradley is giving his players the week off.

“I think a week away from everybody won’t hurt us,” Bradley said.

Although anything that happens on a football field pales in comparison to the allegations against Sandusky, Nittany Lions players caught in the middle of it all still hoped to rally the team for a shot at the Rose

On third-and-8 from the Virginia 16, he hit Jarrett Boykin over the middle for the TD. Minnifield, one of 31 fourth- or fifth-year players honored by Virginia before the game, had three 15yard penalties in the first half, but one was waved off

Bowl. They won at Ohio State last week, giving them a chance going into Saturday’s game.

But after taking an early lead, the Nittany Lions just gave too many chances to the Badgers’ high-octane offense led by Ball and Wilson.

Wisconsin was again without starting center Peter Konz, but it didn’t seem to matter. Wilson threw for 186 yards and two touchdowns, flustering the Nittany Lions’ defense by slipping away from tackling attempts all afternoon.

“We’ve been facing quarterbacks like that all year,” Penn State defensive back Drew Astorino said. “But he’s obviously phenomenal at what he does. When we didn’t have good coverage, he’d complete a pass.”

because Davis beat him for the 36-yard catch, and another on a deep ball was negated by a holding call against the Hokies.

J.R. Collins’ interception of Rocco and return to the Cavaliers’ 6 set up the last touchdown, Thomas’ 7yard pass to Davis. He finished with five catches for 119 yards.

Eagles must keep season alive vs. Patriots SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

The final six weeks of the season could be a real treat for the New England Patriots.

T ied with thr ee other teams for the AFC’s best record, the Patriots face their toughest foe on the remainder of the schedule when they visit Philadelphia on Sunday. And the Eagles are 4-6, the most disappointing team in the league this year, on the verge of falling out of contention in the NFC. So the prospect of the Patriots once again having the confer ence’s best r ecor d is very r eal. No, they won’t be the dominating 14-2 they wer e in 2012, but a sweep of the last half-dozen games will land them at 13-3, even if it isn’t quite as impressive a performance.

After the Eagles, New England plays the Colts, Redskins, Broncos, Dolphins and Bills. Not a winning mark among them.

As is their wont, the Patriots ar e looking at every opponent as if they were, well, the 2007 Patriots — the undefeated Pats.

“I think that we need to play really well, certainly better than we’ve played the last few weeks,” Tom Brady said. “There’re a lot of people on our team and our offense that have really taken the challenge that our coaches have given us and ar e going to go out there and try to play our best. I think we need to do that. This is the time of year when it’s most important. There aren’t a lot of games left. When you play a tough team on the road, that came off one of the biggest wins of their season, we have everything we could ask for. We’r e going to go out there and try to play our best.”

Philly beat the Giants 17-10 on the r oad last Sunday night behind one of the best drives in the league for any team: 18 plays, 80 yards to a winning touchdown pass.

Vince Young led it, and he might be at quarterback again with Michael Vick’s ribs still tender.

“Anytime you go into a game with a guy who has not really played yet, and you come out with a win like that, especially late in the game when you persever e thr ough it, that breeds confidence in his abilities,” center Jason Kelce said. “I don’t want to say that I was ever not confident that Vince could do it, but I’m definitely more confident now, having been thr ough the (Giants) game.”

The holiday weekend

Sunday, November 27, 2011

B5

began on Thursday with the traditional Thanksgiving Day games at Detroit, wher e unbeaten Gr een Bay beat the Lions 27-15, and at Dallas, with the Cowboys edging the Dolphins 20-19. The night game was the first between head-coaching brothers in NFL history, with John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens getting the best of Jim Harbaugh’s San Francisco 49ers with a 16-6 victory.

On Sunday, it’s Denver at San Diego, Chicago at Oakland, Pittsburgh at Kansas City, Houston at Jacksonville, Minnesota at Atlanta, Carolina at Indianapolis, Buf falo at the New York Jets, Cleveland at Cincinnati, Tampa Bay at Tennessee, Washington at Seattle, and Arizona at St. Louis.

The Monday night game featur es the New York Giants at New Orleans.

New York Giants (6-4) at New Orleans (7-3), MNF Two straight defeats erased the Giants’ lead in the NFC East, and they have swooned a few times late in past seasons under Tom Coughlin. With Green Bay on deck after this prime-time visit to New Orleans, New York needs a quick remedy.

“We know the Saints are a very good home team,” said Eli Manning, who grew up in New Orleans, where his father, Archie, was the Saints quarterback. “It’s a loud stadium. ... We can try to start fast and move the ball and don’t give up big plays to their defense, (that) should always help the occasion. It’s just about being consistent.”

The Saints haven’t been all that consistent this year, either, but their deep corps of receivers, particularly tight end Jimmy Graham, will test the Giants’ defense, which must find a pass rush that was absent last week.

Denver (5-5) at San Diego (4-6) T ebowmania heads to Mission Bay, where the Chargers are drowning.

They have lost five in a row, with their last victory coming at Denver, where Tim Tebow nearly rallied the Broncos to victory.

Tebow is 4-1 since supplanting Kyle Orton as Denver’s starter, with three fourth-quarter comebacks.

“I obviously feel pretty comfortable with them. I played against them one and a half times (including last season), so that’s the

most I’ve played against any team,” Tebow said. “I feel like I’ll be able to know them pretty well.”

Chicago (7-3) at Oakland (6-4) A mar quee matchup even though Bears QB Jay Cutler is out with a broken right thumb that could sideline him the rest of the way. So Caleb Hanie, who acquitted himself well in a relief stint in the NFC title game loss to Gr een Bay in January, takes over.

Hanie has a strong running game thanks to Matt Forte and an improving offensive line to support him. Chicago also has dynamic special teams and a defense as stingy as any in the NFL — outside of the Bay Area (meaning the 49ers, not the Raiders).

Oakland is hoping to get back star runner Darren McFadden (right foot), but Michael Bush has done just fine in his place with two straight 100-yar d games.

Pittsburgh (7-3) at Kansas City (4-6) Don’t look for Kyle Orton, claimed on waivers by the Chiefs, to get much action this week. Tyler Palko, who played college ball in Pittsburgh and once was with the Steelers, gets the call at quarterback again. He didn’t do much in a lopsided loss at New England on Mon-

day night and needs Jackie Battle to get the running game off to a quick start.

That’s har dly easy against this version of the Steel Curtain, which ranks second in overall defense and comes off a bye.

Houston (7-3) at Jacksonville (3-7) Another quarterbacking change takes place in Houston, which also comes off a bye and must replace Matt Schaub, sidelined for the rest of the season with a right foot problem. Matt Leinart gets the call in what could be his final chance to prove he has the goods for the NFL. Like Hanie, Leinart has plenty of help around him in RBs Arian Foster and Ben T ate, plus a solid defense. Star r eceiver Andre Johnson looks set to return after a six-week absence with a hamstring issue.

The Jags ar e good defensively, but other than Maurice Jones-Drew, they don’t threaten offensively.

Minnesota (2-8) at Atlanta (6-4) With Adrian Peterson likely to miss the game with a high left ankle sprain, the Vikings will be sever ely under manned against a Falcons squad in the thick of the NFC wildcard chase. Minnesota has won four of its last five visits to the Georgia

Dome, where the Falcons need to prosper the rest of the way to make the postseason.

Atlanta has its own injury issues and hopes r ookie WR Julio Jones recovers from a right hamstring problem. But the Falcons won without him last week against the Titans, a more difficult foe than the Vikings.

Carolina (2-8) at Indianapolis (0-10) OK, this might be it.

With New England, Baltimore, Tennessee, Houston and Jacksonville — which just won at Indianapolis — on their radar, the Colts’ best shot to avoid 0-16 ignominy could be in this one.

To get that win, though, the Colts must slow the No. 5 overall offense, led by dynamic r ookie QB Cam Newton and revitalized wideout Steve Smith.

“We’r e not r eally in a position to judge anybody’s record,” Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said.

“When you’re 2-8, at that point we’re all just kind of in the same boat. We’re just looking to win. I’m sure they’re looking at us the same way, saying this is great opportunity for us to right the ship.”

Buffalo (5-5) at New York Jets (5-5) The Jets do everything in bunches: two wins, three losses, three wins, two losses. Their offense has struggled as quarterback Mark Sanchez has regressed behind a suddenly ineffective offensive line. Rex R yan, who was fined $75,000 this week for cursing out a fan during a loss to New England, was stunned by his defense’s collapse against Tebow and the Broncos on Nov. 17.

Buffalo is in even worse shape, dropping three in a row, including 21-11 to the Jets, a game in which the Bills were manhandled. They won’t have their best offensive player, RB Fred Jackson, who is sidelined the rest of the way by a right leg injury.

Coach Chan Gailey doesn’t want to hear about sagging spirits, though.

“If you’ve got a professional football team that’s in the hunt and I’ve got to go give them some kind of talk to keep them motivated, we’re in trouble,” Gailey said. “My feeling is that if you’ve got a team that is that fragile, you’re in tr ouble. I believe we have guys that understand about fighting thr ough tough times and fighting through adversity.”

Cleveland (4-6) at Cincinnati (6-4) Cincinnati’s chor e is easy: beat the dregs of the

league and likely make the playoffs. After the Browns, the Bengals do have Houston, Pittsburgh and Baltimore, but also St. Louis and Arizona. A 9-7 mark might be good enough, and a win over one of those better teams would get Cincinnati to 10 wins and almost certainly a wild-card berth.

The Bengals won at Cleveland to open what has been an uplifting season even though they have lost to their toughest opponents, the Ravens, Steelers and 49ers. Rookie Andy Dalton has pr ogressed nicely at quarterback, and the defense is strong.

Cleveland has the No. 1 pass defense in football, yar dage-wise, but only because teams run the ball down the Br owns’ throat every week.

Tampa Bay (4-6) at Tennessee (5-5) Tampa gave Green Bay all it could handle last week but, like so many times this season, the disappointing Bucs fell short.

They bring an old, uh, friend back to Tennessee in DT Albert Haynesworth, a for mer All-Pr o in his Titans days and now a situational player for the Bucs. Whether he gets a chance to sack Matt Hasselbeck is pr oblematic: Hasselbeck injur ed his right ar m in a loss to Atlanta, but vows he will start Sunday with T ennessee still in the thick of the wild-card race.

Washington (3-7) at Seattle (4-6) Seattle seems to have found some spark with consecutive victories over Baltimore and St. Louis.

It’s too late for the Seahawks to repeat their NFC West crown — they’re on the verge of elimination — but thr ee mor e futur e opponents have losing records, so a .500 season isn’t impossible.

The Redskins almost certainly won’t get to the br eak-even mark. On a six-game skid, they have a pitiful run game and their minus-10 turnover differential is tied for last in the league.

Arizona (3-7) at St. Louis (2-8) Among the league’s most lopsided rivalries, this game also has become the least inviting on the holiday schedule. The Cardinals have won nine of the last 10 in the series, six straight in St. Louis, and outscored the Rams 278161 in those 10 games.

This is the third straight r oad game for Arizona, which won at Philadelphia and lost at San Francisco.

Tiffany Michelle Moon

T if fany “T if f” Michelle Moon, mother, daughter, sister, friend, angel on Earth has been called to heaven.

Graveside services will be held at 1 p.m., Monday, Nov. 28, 2011, at South Park Cemetery. The Rev. Rick Hale will officiate.

Our angel T if fany Michelle Moon was born to Cynthia Kaye (Moon) Lorenz and Johnny Clay Moon Sr. on May 25, 1987, in Roswell. Her Heavenly Father called her home on Nov. 19, 2011. She lived here her entire life, except for a few months in Carlsbad, and Cloudcroft. The Good Lord graced her with beauty both on the inside and out. Tiffany was full of so much love, she shared it with so many people during her short time here.

Tiff was blessed with the love of her life Addyson Claire Campbell in June 2006. She was a very loving and caring mother, whose eyes lit up every time she looked at her child.

Those who were fortunate to have known her, knew that she had a very deep love for people. She was always wanting to be with people to laugh and sing and enjoy her life. She had many obstacles thrown in her path all through her life, but the strength given to her when she accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior gave her comfort in knowing that God was always there for her.

Tiffany graduated from Goddard High School in 2005 and originally studied criminal justice, in hopes to help make Roswell a safer place to live. She eventually gravitated toward the health assistance field, where she was studying to become a nurse. For the past year and a half, she was a caregiver for Tobosa, where she was able to share some of her overabundance of love she so desperately needed to spread around.

BOISE, Idaho — Patricia Ann West, 55, of Boise, passed away in her sleep on Nov. 19, 2011, after a long and courageous battle with congestive heart failure and diabetes. She was born Patricia Ann McKeg on Aug. 3, 1956, in Roswell, N.M., to Thomas Edward and Ida Ann McKeg. She spent her early years in Roswell, Phoenix, Idaho and Alaska. She worked in the food industry throughout her life. She managed a variety of restaurants, and delis. She enjoyed being in a kitchen cooking and preparing meals. She was a volunteer of the Sierra Fire Department, worked for the Red Cross and was a dedicated Girl Scout leader. She and her husband owned and operated Westside Video in Roswell.

She was artistic and loved working on crafts at home, which helped keep her busy once she could not work outside the home.

She made and sold yard art that adorn many homes in Boise. Pat was one who enjoyed camping and fishing, and was usually ready to have her next adventure.

She also enjoyed treasure hunts. She was a very strong and determined person and her life was not easy. Losing both of her children at young ages, she pressed on to make the best out of her life. She

Roswell Daily Record courageously fought diabetes and congestive heart failure for years. Unfortunately, she became a double amputee because of the complications from her diseases. Faced with all she had going on, she was never heard complaining about her life. She held her head high and continued on each and every day. At her request, there will be no service; she did not want anyone to be sad.

And, true to her giving nature, she donated herself to science to be used in transplants and medical schools. She asked that others consider doing the same to help those in need.

She was preceded in death by her children, Kathryn Louise McKeg and Thomas Henry Lollis; her father Thomas Edward McKeg,; her stepmother Beatrice Mayfield-McKeg; two stepfathers, Bob Pool and Carlos Far mer; and her brother Carlos Farmer II.

Camera network will focus on jaguars in Ariz., NM Services are pending at Ballard Funeral Home and

AP Photo

This jaguar was photographed by a remote motion-sensing camera in the borderlands south of Tucson, Ariz.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Jaguars will be the target of an extensive network of remote cameras placed across southern Arizona and southwest New Mexico starting next year.

In a three-year, $771,000 project that has been greeted warmly by environmentalists but warily by cattle growers, University of Arizona researchers will try to learn more about the status and presence of the endangered animal.

Fifteen years after the jaguar was listed as endangered in the U.S., the project will try to determine how often the big cats roam from Mexico to the United States and back, said Melanie Culver, the project’s principal investigator and a geneticist for the U.S. Geological Survey and the UA’s School of Natural Resources.

Referring to an adult male jaguar photographed in Cochise County, Ariz., last week, Culver added that the project will try to learn, “Is this the only one?”

The research project has brought on a UA professor with a history of mediation work, Kirk Emerson, to reach out to environmental groups, ranchers, private landowners and others in an effort to minimize potential conflicts over the research, according to The Arizona Daily Star.

There has long been tension among ranchers, environmentalists and government officials over how to conserve and study jaguars.

The cameras will be placed at 120 locations on public and possibly private lands in mountainous terrain — two cameras per site — and checked regularly, said Lisa Haynes, the research project manager and coordinator of the UA’s Wild Cat Research and Conservation Center.

They’ll be located from the Baboquivari Mountains in south-central Arizona on the west to the Animas Mountains in the “boot heel” of New Mexico on the east.

Up to five jaguars have been photographed in the region in the past 15 years. Researchers say new photographs could help determine if this area actually has a resident jaguar population or if the jaguars that roam here are transient migrants into their range’s northern fringe from a larger population in Mexico.

Other possible results of the research include pinpointing movement corridors for jaguars across the mountainous borderlands region; understanding more about how other wildlife relates to jaguars, and about the region’s general biodiversity; helping the federal government determine prime jaguar habitat, and prepare a federal recovery plan for the species; and learning how much impact the U.S.-Mexican border fence, illegal immigrants, and vehicles and equipment used to pursue immigrants has on the animal.

With last week’s sighting being the first confirmed jaguar presence in this country since the March 2009 death of the animal dubbed Macho B, UA researchers say they have no idea what their chances are of detecting

more jaguars or again seeing the one just photographed.

The federally financed project will use techniques similar to the detection project as far as cameras go, Haynes said. But this project will not follow McCain’s practice of putting jaguar scat at camera sites to lure jaguars.

“We want to emphasize that this is a noninvasive technique that we’ll use — no capture, no touch, no handling,” Haynes said.

But Culver said the researchers will employ dogs to look for jaguar scat if cameras capture any of the rare cats, Haynes said. It will be analyzed for DNA to identify the species and possibly the individual jaguar the scat came from.

“This is clearly nonintrusive, which means that the risks that manifested themselves tragically in Macho B’s death will not be there,” said Michael Robinson, an activist for the Tucson-based Center for Biological Diversity, whose lawsuit forced the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to agree to designate critical habitat and prepare a recovery plan for the jaguar.

George Michael treated for pneumonia, cancels tour LONDON (AP) — George Michael has postponed all his remaining 2011 tour dates as he recovers from pneumonia, the singer’s publicist said Friday.

Michael was hospitalized in Vienna, Austria earlier this week. A statement from publicist Connie Filippello said the 48-year-old former Wham! singer “is responding to treatment and slowly improving.”

Michael “is ill with pneumonia and any other speculation regarding his illness is unfounded and untrue,” the statement said.

Two Austrian doctors treating Michael said he had “severe community acquired pneumonia,” but “his condition has stabilized and he is responding to treatment.” They said he needed time to regain his strength.

“From the current point of view, the time until recovery cannot be estimated, but he will not be able to perform the rest of the tour,” Dr. Christoph Zielinski and Dr. Thomas Staudinger said in a statement. “Besides medical treatment, complete rest,

MARTHA D. URQUIDES-STAAB VISTAS EDITOR

No one wants to think about it, but it is possibly the most important thing to take action on when that time comes. VistaCare has been serving Roswell for several years now and continues to help those in the end of their journey. November is National Hospice Month. This is the time when VistaCare honors patients and families and recognizes the contributions of local professionals and volunteers who provide hospice care.

VistaCare’s mission is to provide compassionate care to those they serve during the end of life’s journey through committing to clinical excellence and uncompromising service. VistaCare makes its first priority their patients and their families. They commit to contact the patient and family within one hour of referral, admit qualified patients within three hours and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week all year. Much more makes VistaCare’s reputation stand out among the rest.

For those who may not know what a hospice is or who are confused on what exactly VistaCare does, it is easily explained. VistaCare is a compassionate, patient-centered approach to medical care and support for people at the end of life and their families. Its care is focused on maintaining dignity, increasing quality of life and providing comfort. Patients will receive medical care in the comfort of their very own home, or residence of their choice, with a nurse or physicians always on call for questions or concerns. Patients and families also receive emotional and spiritual care as needed. In most cases Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurances cover 100 percent of costs. VistaCare also offers respite care to give caregivers a rest from their responsibilities; patients can stay in a hospital or other inpatient facility.

There are common misconceptions of what a hospice really is and the true facts. Hospice is a specialized level of care for those with life-limiting illnesses and their families. In order to clear up some confusion, here are the common hospice myths, along with the facts.

Myth: Becoming a hospice patient means giving up hope.

Fact: Hospice is about quality of life and hope preservation. Hospice patients are encouraged to live life to the fullest.

Myth: Suffering is a part of hospice care because traditional medicine is no longer allowed.

Fact: Managing pain and symptoms is one of the key goals in hospice care. Medications are used as needed to control both.

Myth: Hospice is a place.

Fact: While there are hospice inpatient units, the majority of care is administered in the patient’s familiar surroundings such as their home, nursing home or assisted living facility.

Myth: Hospice care is only for cancer patients Facts: Hospice care is for any patient with a terminal illness, which can include end-stage heart disease, COPD, Alzheimer’s disease, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), and AIDS and others.

Myth: Only a doctor can refer a patient for hospice care.

Fact: Anyone can refer a patient for hospice care. The information will be taken and the patient’s doctor will be contacted to gain permission to assess the patient for eligibility.

Myth: If you choose hospice care you can never see your family physician again.

Fact: Your family physician becomes a member of the patient care team and is regularly informed of the patient’s condition.

Myth: Hospice is not affordable

Fact: Most individuals who have Medicare have the Hospice Medicare Benefit and most private insurances benefit, all hospice services are provided and all medications, equipment and supplies related to the patient’s terminal illness are covered.

Myth: The Medicare hospice benefit covers only six months of care Fact: The Medicare hospice benefit covers the care of a hospice patient as long as the patient remains eligible.

The most unique thing about VistaCare is the VistaCare Hospice Dream Foundation. The foundation was founded in 1996, and it does wonders for those having difficulties during their time in hospice. The foundation has helped local patients in Roswell by giving them their last wish. For example some patients needed help replacing a roof of where a patient was receiving hospice care, others had family flown in to say their good-byes and attend a funeral. Usually VistaCare patients who pass or family members of those receiving VistaCare services donate to the foundation. The donations go to one nationwide fund and when needed can be pulled to fulfill a wish.

For more information on VistaCare and its services call 627-1145.

Holiday gift-giving a source of tension for couple

Q: Every Christmas season, I resent how much money my wife spends on her family. She has a big family and they all exchange gifts that can add up to hundreds of dollars.

In my family, we usually just get each other something sentimental, and sometimes only exchange Christmas cards. How do I help her see how unfair this is?

Juli: Your question really brings up two issues: how much is reasonable to spend at Christmas, and the inequity between giving different amounts to your families.

Many couples experience conflict and stress throughout and after the holidays because they spend too much. With parties, gifts and even decorations, Christmas can break the bank. You and your wife need to agree on an amount to be spent for her family and others before the shopping begins. In

fact, you might even start saving for the Christmas budget throughout the year. Once you agree on the amount, this will give your wife the freedom to buy or make gifts for her family without creating tension between you two. If the amount her family spends is unreasonable for your budget, she may have to have an honest conversation about adjusting expectations.

During the budget discussion, the second issue will inevitably come up, “Why do you need $300 for your family gifts, while I only spend $50 on mine?”

The amount you spend on each family doesn’t necessarily have to be equal in order to be fair. It’s wise to make decisions on how much to spend based on a variety of factors, such as the size of the family and what the gifts communicate. Is gift-giving an obligation, a way of communicating love or a non-issue?

DR. JULI SLATTERY

JIM DALY

FAMILY SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

In some families, gifts are the primary way of expressing affection and allegiance.

Others don’t care about gifts at all, but simply want you to spend time with them.

Both of you should have the freedom, within reason, to express love to your families in the way they will receive it.

Q: My boys like to have a snack when they get home from school. But how much is too much? They can easily consume a large snack and still have plenty of room for dinner.

Jim: I can certainly relate to this. My own boys are often eager for a snack

after a long day. But research shows that many children are snacking too much.

According to a study published in Health Affairs, kids today are taking in significantly more calories from snack foods than they did in the 1970s. The study’s statistics show that half of American children snack four times a day, and that some kids are eating even more, as many as 10 snacks a day! It’s not likely that these kids are that often. hungry Researchers believe they’re simply eating the food because it’s there. It’s like a for m of entertainment.

Roswell Daily Record

When kids spend so much time snacking, they’re much less likely to eat a healthy, balanced meal at breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The snacks themselves are a problem, as well.

Cookies and cakes are the most popular snacks among kids, with chips and other salty items running a close second. Kids are also drinking a lot more fruit juice. That might sound OK, but most of these drinks are loaded with excess sugar.

It sounds like your boys are genuinely hungry after school, and that’s especially understandable if they’re involved in sports or other strenuous activities. So make sure fruits and vegetables are on the snack menu, and only in amounts suf ficient to “tide them over”until dinner. And, of course, make sure you’re setting a good example in this area. Don’t expect your boys to be happy with an apple if you’re snacking on

candy bars and soda!

A chili dog designed for chilliest time of year

J.M. HIRSCH AP FOOD EDITOR Chili dogs generally are considered summer food.

Which makes sense. Hot dogs tossed in a bun and slathered with chili and shredded cheese does tend to scream summer casual (and heartburn, but that’s another matter).

But those flavors do go so nicely together, In converting the recipe I saw no reason to mess around too much with the hot dog or chili topping. So I instead focused on the starch. Roasted potatoes were the right flavor, but wrong texture. Mashed, however, were just right. The resulting recipe oozes comfort and warmth. And since you don’t have to worry about toppings spilling out of the bun, it’s also easier to load up on extras, such as sour cream and jalapeno peppers.

Bring to a boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender.

Drain the potatoes, then return them to the pot. Add the butter and milk, then mash until chunky smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

While the potatoes cook, in a small saucepan over medium heat combine the baked beans, tomato paste, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder and cayenne.

Bring to a simmer, then cover and set aside.

Finding holiday spirit in brick-and-mortar stores not impossible

NEW YORK (AP) — The crowds, congestion, heavy bags and “Jingle Bells” for the umpteenth time are all unavoidable parts of the holiday experience if you do your shopping in the oldschool, brick-and-mortar way.

And they’re part of the fun, too. I really don’t know how I’d get into the season’s full spirit otherwise.

I like my holiday season, and especially my shopping, to be hustling and bustling. I like finding unexpected treasures that will make the perfect gifts, swapping sale info with strangers, waiting in a long line for (worth-it) peppermint hot cocoa and generally juggling more things I can handle.

Yes, I really am a fan of so many stereotypical trappings of holiday shopping.

I’m not looking for a month full of easy answers or quiet nights. That’s what January is for.

I’m not the only elf who feels that way.

“I thrive on the energy,” says Joe Zee, Elle magazine’s creative director. “I like shopping as an event.

There’s nothing wrong with online shopping — it’s a time-saver, you can delegate, you can do it lastminute, but it lacks the emotional, human experience of holiday shopping.”

Like Zee, I’m not a technophobe who shuns online shopping. I order jeans this way, once I know my size and brand; I bought my daughter’s Uggs from Zappos and I’ll probably order an e-reader tablet for someone near and dear this season.

But would I have bought silver mittens for a close friend last year if I hadn’t felt firsthand that heavenly lining? Probably not. And my husband has thoroughly enjoyed a book about the Arctic that jumped out at me in the store but probably wouldn’t have been in my online “recommended reading” based on previous purchases.

Christa Marzan, 24, of Princeton, N.J., didn’t plan to give her mother and sister jewelry last year as gifts. But a store’s festive display enticed her.

Marzan says she likes to do “online window shopping,” but “I have a hard time deciding if I’m going to like it if I can’t touch it.”’

Kaitlyn Pierce, who lives near Pittsfield, Mass., takes her time in stores, often on Black Friday, to browse.

“Stores have the holiday displays, and it puts me in the mood to buy things for other people and not myself,” said Pierce, 24, who adds that she has no problem buying her own

shoes and other fashion accessories from favorite websites.

According to market research firm NPD, general traffic at brick-andmortar retailers was down the first three weeks of November, but mostly due to lower sales at grocery and mass chains. Beauty specialty stores, electronic stores, factory outlets, sporting goods stores and toy stores — gift stores — reported an increase.

Those same types of stores also showed a 12.8 percent rise in online buying visits, NPD said.

Elle’s Zee, also star of Sundance Channel’s “All On the Line,” a reality show about fashion businesses, says exciting visuals and fun are two gifts stores can give to shoppers.

“I don’t see holiday shopping as a chore,” he says. “I’m a gift person — I love giving gifts and I love personalizing gifts for everyone else. ... Online gifts never cross your hands. They go from cyberspace to the doorstep of the recipient.

I think a gift needs that personal touch.” Even when he orders online, he has items shipped to himself, not the recipient, so he can personally “put it in something other than

the brown box.”

Packaging is a big part of holiday shopping for me as well. I love the refinement of those heavy-stock bags upscale retailers give out. Walking

by Tiffany & Co. this time of year, its signature blue bags stand out on busy Fifth Avenue, and you can imagine the happy recipient at the other end.

If a store wraps packages, I know their bows will come out better than mine. But then there’ll be the one night when I lay out all the wrapping paper I’ve bought — goofy Santa dogs, sophisticated stripes and Hanukkah menorahs — and I’ll go to work making my own curlicue ribbons and filling out gift tags.

It’s a satisfying feeling when the stack is complete, and I can’t wait to give them out. Holiday shopping is always a whirlwind, and I’ll savor the downtime to come, but sign me up again next year.

Tabloids on trial: Celebs strike back in UK court Roswell Daily Record

LONDON (AP) — It was a bad week to be a tabloid journalist in Britain.

For four days, the famous, the infamous, the bereaved and the wronged sat in a London courtroom and told how snooping, smears and snatched photographs had made their lives a misery. They portrayed the press as cynical and brutal in its treatment of individuals, capitalizing on their tragedies with little decency or compassion.

A-list witnesses including J.K. Rowling, Hugh Grant, and Sienna Miller turned Britain’s media ethics inquiry into the most compelling drama in town. But critics say it’s a misleading and one-sided show.

“It has not been a pretty sight,” said Bob Satchwell of media group the Society of Editors. “But there are 1,300 newspapers, national and regional, in Britain, and most journalists don’t behave in the way that’s being portrayed.”

The behavior of Britain’s scandalmongering, scoop-hungry and millions-selling tabloids was summed up by “Harry Potter” creator Rowling as “cavalier.” The best-selling author said newspapers took the attitude that “You’re famous, you’re asking for it.”

Rowling recounted how journalists slipped a note into her 5-year-old daughter’s school bag, took pictures of her children in their swimsuits and staked out her home until she felt “like a hostage.”

Grant said that since “Four Weddings and a Funeral” made him a star, details of his hospital visits had been leaked, his garbage rifled, his ex girlfriend and infant daughter harassed.

Miller, the star of “Alfie” and “Layer Cake,” described being pursued down the street at midnight by 10 large men.

“And the fact that they had cameras in their hands meant that that was legal,” said the 29-year-old actress. “But if you take away the cameras, what have you got?

You’ve got a pack of men chasing a woman.”

Witnesses’ detailed descriptions of aggressive press intrusion, broadcast live on British television, have focused public attention on murky tabloid practices.

Media lawyer David Allen Green wrote in a blog for the New Statesman magazine that the inquiry was already helping free-

dom of expression.

“The merit of the Leveson inquiry — regardless of its formal findings in its reports — is that it is giving a platform to those whose voices are deliberately smothered by the tabloid press,” he wrote.

Not all the witnesses were famous. Some suffered because of proximity to fame.

Mary Ellen Field, who worked for Elle Macpherson, recounted how the supermodel blamed her when personal stories started appearing in the press, and forced Field to go to a rehab facility in the U.S. for her — nonexistent — alcoholism.

Macpherson later learned her phone had been hacked — newspapers were getting information by illegal eavesdropping, not because of any indiscretion on Field’s part.

Field had already been fired.

The parents of missing and murdered children told of much worse ordeals, of unbearable intrusion at times of grief.

Kate McCann, whose daughter Madeleine vanished during a family holiday in Portugal in 2007, said she felt “totally violated” when extracts from her private diary appeared in the News of the World tabloid in 2008.

“I just felt so worthless we’d been treated like that,” she said.

Bob and Sally Dowler, whose 13-year-old daughter Milly was abducted and murdered in 2002, told how the same newspaper’s phone hacking had given them false hope that she was alive. After days of being told her voice mailbox was full, they were finally able to get through.

“And it clicked through onto her voicemail, so I heard her voice, and it was just like — I jumped — ‘She’s picked up her voicemails, Bob, she’s alive,”’ Sally Dowler said.

In fact, the voicemail had been interfered with by someone working for the News of the World, the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid whose illegal eavesdropping triggered the still-unfolding hacking scandal.

The revelation that the News of the World had targeted a teenage murder victim — as well as celebrities, politicians and public figures — shocked many Britons, led Murdoch to close the 168-year-old newspaper and set off a scandal that has shaken the country’s media, police and political estab-

More than a dozen News of the World journalists and editors have been arrested, and the furor has claimed the jobs of two top London police officers, Prime Minister David Cameron’s media adviser and several senior Murdoch executives.

Cameron set up the inquiry, led by Judge Brian Leveson, to take a sweeping look at culture, ethics and practices in the British press. It is due to report next year and could recommend major changes to Britain’s system of media self-regulation.

So far, journalists and editors have not had the chance to defend themselves to the inquiry. Several are due to testify later, including CNN celebrity interviewer Piers Morgan, who has denied using phone hacking when he was editor of the Daily Mirror newspaper.

Many in the industry say wrongdoing was limited to a minority, and worry that the inquiry will recommend restricting press freedom.

Satchwell said much of the harassment described by witnesses is the fault of a

Woman begins solo Antarctic crossing CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A 33-year -old British adventurer set out on skis Friday to attempt a historic solo crossing of Antarctica.

Felicity Aston aims to become the first woman to make it across the frozen continent alone. She expects the journey of more than 1,000 miles (1,700 kilometers) will take about 70 days.

She announced on Twitter that she was setting out from her starting point at the Ross Ice Shelf.

“Having breakfast looking at the mountains. The quiet will take some getting used to,” she said in one message. Later, she wrote: “With the first step of my journey I start the long road home.”

She is pulling a sled with supplies and first will be headed up the Leverett Glacier.

She would also set a record for the longest solo polar expedition by a woman.

small segment of the media — paparazzi.

He said things have changed in Britain since the death of Princess Diana, who was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997 while being pursued by photographers.

“The market for paparazzi photos in this country is much reduced,” Satchwell said — but there is still a big market in other countries, including the United States.

“You cannot condemn the whole of the British press and try to set up some kind of draconian regulatory regime based on supposition or the fact that the paparazzi are at work,” he said. “That would be both unfair and dangerous.”

Grant, however, dismissed the notion that restrictions on media misbehavior might muzzle genuine journalism.

“The metaphor that’s endlessly bandied about is: be careful of throwing the baby out with the bath water,” Grant told the inquiry.

“I’ve always said that I don’t think it is that difficult to tell the difference between what is bath water and what is a baby. To most people, it’s bloody obvious.”

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Two Zimbabwe commercial radio stations were issued licenses to compete for the first time with the sole government-owned broadcaster loyal to the president, Zimbabwe’s state broadcasting authority said Friday.

But the independent Media Institute of Southern Africa said the new stations were not fairly chosen because the licensing decisions were made by officials appointed by the information ministry controlled by President Robert Mugabe’s party.

Zimbabwe Newspapers, publishers of the main proMugabe daily Herald, will launch a Talk Radio channel. The second channel, ZiFM, is controlled by a black empower ment campaigner and stalwart of Mugabe’s party who says it will go on air within six months.

A coalition deal with the former opposition in 2009 called for an end to the three-decade monopoly of Mugabe’s Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corp. No commercial broadcast licenses have been issued since independence from colonial-era rule in 1980.

Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai’s party on Friday described the licensing decisions as an unacceptable betrayal of the power sharing deal.

“This is a sad day for the media and showcases the brazen and deliberate undermining” of Tsvangirai’s authority in the coalition, his spokesman Luke Tamborinyoka said.

ZiFM is owned by a media firm headed by Supa Mandiwanzira, also a one-time journalist and presenter at state television. Mandiwanzira was named by Mugabe’s party as a likely parliamentary candidate for elections proposed next year, Tamborinyoka said.

Zimbabwe Newspapers is a private company listed on the Harare stock exchange, but the government has owned the majority stockholding since the 1980s when Mugabe’s party took a tight rein on its journalists.

The southern Africa media institute, which campaigns for media freedoms, said the legal status of the new licenses was in doubt. It cited irregularities in the appointment of the board of the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe, the body that issued the licenses.

The board is chaired by Tafataona Mahoso, former head of the state media commission that enforced draconian media curbs before the formation of the coalition between Mugabe and Tsvangirai. Zimbabwe’s government coalition was formed after violent and disputed elections in 2008.

For nearly a decade, Mahoso was widely described by critics as Mugabe’s media “hatchet man.”

The independent Harare-based Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe said Friday the selection of just two of several wide-ranging applications for private broadcasting licenses was not carried out transparently and broadcast laws governing the powers and membership of the authority weighing in Mugabe’s favor needed reform.

“Until we have an independent broadcasting authority and democratic broadcast laws we will continue to have this sort of conflict,” said Takura Zhangazha, head of the council.

Russia secures ownership of Belarus gas pipelines Roswell Daily Record

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s state-controlled natural gas company bought the remaining stake in Belarus’ gas pipeline system Friday to become its sole owner in a move that strengthens Moscow’s control over gas exports to the West.

Russia is the main ally and sponsor of Belarus’ authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, but he had been reluctant to yield control over the pipeline network and other Belarusian economic assets in the past, accusing Russia of trying to erode his nation’s sovereignty.

Lukashenko’s stance, however, has been softened recently by a severe economic crisis that has weakened his power and made him more prone to compromise.

Russia’s Gazprom already had owned 50 percent in Belarus’ pipeline operator, Beltransgaz, and wanted to gain full control. It said in a statement after the signing that it agreed to pay $2.5 billion for the remaining 50 percent stake.

Russia provides about a quarter of the natural gas that Europe consumes, with 80 percent of it going through Ukraine. The rest is shipped through Belarus and Turkey.

Moscow has sought to win control of existing transit routes and build new export pipelines bypassing its neighbors in order to secure its hold on energy supplies to Europe, its main export market.

Past pricing disputes between Ukraine and Belarus have led to disruptions in energy supplies to customers in the European Union, prompting EU nations to intensify a search for alternative supply routes.

Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko said after the signing Friday that the deal has brought an end to the energy wars between Russia and Belarus.

As part of the deal, Russia has also reduced the price of

Oil rises near $97 a barrel THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saving 7 cents on a gallon of gas sounds like small change compared with $200 off the price of a flatscreen TV. But drivers will take it this holiday season.

The average price for a gallon of gas has fallen to $3.31 from $3.38 in just a week. The discount is an even heftier 20 cents a gallon compared with two months ago. In fact, shoppers driving from store to store on the first weekend of the holiday shopping season are paying some of the lowest prices for gas since late winter.

Even with the recent declines, however, the price of gas is 44 cents a gallon higher than on Black Friday a year ago. Tom Kloza, chief oil analysts at Oil Price Information Service, says Americans are on track to spend $488 billion on gas this year. That will eclipse the record set in 2008 by $40 billion. OPIS said last week that U.S. households have spent 8.4 percent of their income on gasoline this year, up from 6.7 percent in 2010 and 7.9 percent in 2008.

That may be one reason that malls are bustling this year with shoppers looking for marked down cashmere sweaters, videogame consoles, tablet computers and flat-screen televisions. Retailers hope shoppers reinvest their savings at the pump. Kloza estimates that, at current demand, for every 10 cent decline in the price of gas, Americans save a total of $36 million to spend elsewhere.

Kloza says current demand for gas in the U.S. remains “extraordinarily poor.” That’s the main reason why gas prices are dropping even though oil has risen about $17 a barrel, or 21 percent, in the last two months.

Oil rose Friday, but was down slightly for the week.

The benchmark for crude oil in the U.S. rose 60 cents to $96.77. It dropped $1.84 on Wednesday, before markets in the U.S. were closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.

In London, Brent crude for January delivery fell $1.54 to $105.76 a barr el on the ICE Futur es exchange.

In other Nymex trading, heating oil dropped 3.1 cents to $2.94 per gallon and gasoline futures lost 4.45 cents to $2.5205 per gallon. Natural gas added 5.7 cents to $3.665 per 1,000 cubic feet.

The national average for gasoline peaked just below $4 a gallon in May. Kloza says there are now 23 states where drivers can find gas below $3 per gallon.

He cautions drivers to enjoy the relatively cheap prices while they can.

Gas prices tend to bottom out in mid-winter, and then begin to climb through the spring. By Kloza’s calculations, if prices bottom out at $3.10 to $3.20 a gallon then, based on historical trends, drivers could see gas ranging from $3.75 to as high as $4.50 in the spring.

“The trend on Black Friday will be different from what you see on Good Friday,” he says.

gas it sells to Belarus. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Friday that Gazprom will now charge Belarus $164 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas in the first quarter of next year, down from the $280 per 1,000 cubic meters it was paying in the third quarter of this year. The gas price for Gazprom customers in Europe hovers around $400 per 1,000 cubic meters .

“We are making a significant discount for our Belarusian friends and partners,” Putin said. He added that Russia also agreed to restructure Belarus’ debt for previous

supplies.

The low gas price is essential for the Belarusian economy, most of which has remained in state hands. Belarus has been hit by its worst financial crisis since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, which has led to sharp devaluation of the national currency and triggered high inflation that has eroded public savings.

“Cheap gas and oil are like drugs for the Soviet-style Belarusian economy,” said Alexander Klaskovsky, an independent analyst in the Belarusian capital, Minsk. “It’s a lifebelt for Lukashenko who has driven the country into a deep crisis and 100 percent inflation.”

Belarus’ first post-Soviet leader, Stanislav Shushkevich, said that surrendering control of the pipelines “will mean the loss of a significant part of Belarus’ sovereignty.”

He described the gas deal with Belarus as part of efforts

by Putin, who is all but certain to reclaim the Russian presidency in March’s vote, to create a new, stronger alliance of ex-Soviet nations.

Putin, who has lamented the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, has recently proposed forming a “Eurasian Union” of former Soviet nations, saying the bloc could become a major global player competing for influence with the United States, the European Union and Asia.

“Putin is going to the vote with a geopolitical plan of a new empire, and he’s ready to pay the devil or Lukashenko to achieve that,” Shushkevich told The Associated Press.

Putin said Friday that Moscow will also provide Belarus with a $10 billion loan that will be spread over the next decade to help it pay for a nuclear power plant that will be built by Russia.

Airlines cut small jets as fuel prices soar MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The little planes that connect America’s small cities to the rest of the world are slowly being phased out.

Airlines are getting rid of these planes — their leastefficient — in response to the high cost of fuel. Delta, United Continental, and other big airlines are expected to park, scrap or sell hundreds of jets with 50 seats or fewer in coming years. Small propeller planes are meeting the same fate.

The loss of those planes is leaving some little cities with fewer flights or no flights at all.

The Airports Council International says 27 small airports in the continental U.S., including St. Cloud, Minn., and Oxnard, Calif., have lost service from wellknown commercial airlines over the past two years.

More shutdowns are planned.

Travelers in cities that have lost service now must drive or take buses to larger airports. That adds time and stress to travel. St. Cloud lost air service at the end of 2009 after Delta eliminated flights on 34seat turboprops. Now, passengers from the city of 66,000 have a 90-minute drive to the Minneapolis airport 65 miles to the southeast.

Roger Geraets, who works for an online education company based near St. Cloud., flies at least twice a month from Minneapolis. He used to connect from St. Cloud. Now he drives, leaving an extra half hour for bad traffic.

There are other headaches.

Parking at St. Cloud was free, but in Minneapolis it costs $14 per day. And getting through airport security in Minneapolis takes longer.

Another city without service is Oxnard, 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles, which lost three daily turboprop flights operated on behalf of United. The airport’s website advises travelers to catch a bus to Los Angeles International Airport.

parer who lives in Oxnard, ends up driving or taking the shuttle to Los Angeles.

“In morning traffic, it becomes quite a burdensome trip,” he says.

Pierre, S.D., will lose Delta flights to Minneapolis in mid-January. Pierre officials are waiting to find out whether those flights will be replaced or whether the city will be left with only Great Lakes Airlines flights to Denver. The Denver flights add almost 600 miles in the wrong direction for people who want to fly from South Dakota’s capital to Washington, D.C. “I don’t know if they really care about (passengers) in the small markets,” says

Rick Steece, a consultant for the Centers for Disease Control who travels overseas from Pierre two to three times a year.

In the late 1990s, when jet fuel cost one-fourth of today’s prices, the small jets and turboprops were a profitable way for airlines to connect people in small cities to the rest in the world. The flights attracted business travelers who tended to pay more for tickets.

Airlines loved the planes.

Bombardier and Embraer sold more than 1,900 50seat jets during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

“We all got carried away with it,” says Glen W.

Hauenstein, Delta’s executive vice president for network planning, revenue management and marketing.

Then jet fuel prices soared. They’re at $3.16 per gallon today, up from 78 cents in 2000. That’s changed the economics of small planes.

For airlines, it all comes down to spreading fuel costs among passengers. A Delta 50-seat CRJ-200 made by Bombardier takes 19 gallons of fuel to fly each passenger 500 miles.

Fuel usage drops to just 7.5 gallons per passenger on Delta’s 160-seat MD90s over the same distance.
