Alleged pocket-dial burglar mulling venue change

BY JEFF TUCKER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The attor ney for the alleged pocket-dial burglar said in court Monday he is contemplating requesting a change in venue due to media publicity of his client’s alleged accidental confession.

Aaron Dusty Burrell appeared for his arraignment Monday morning in Roswell before District Judge Steven Bell, while Burrell is out of jail on $5,000 bond.

Burrell, 37, of Roswell, pleaded not guilty Monday to felony charges of residential burglary, conspiracy to commit residential burglary and receiving stolen property.

Bell sat June 23 for the date of Burrell’s jury trial, with a June 8 pre-trial hearing.

Burrell’s attorney, public defender Nathaniel Banks, told Bell he is contemplating filing a motion requesting a change in venue because of media attention the case has garnered.

“I don’t know at this moment,” Banks told the Daily Record outside of

court. “We’re contemplating it. I don’t know if we’ll do it or not.”

Bell set a status hearing for Dec. 18.

Banks said he requested the status hearing in the event he files a motion for a change of venue.

Burrell’s case has garnered statewide and national media coverage, although until today, the Daily Record had published just one article about the unusual burglary case, on Oct. 24.

Investigators said Burrell

Dead body found

unwittingly pocket-dialed 911 the night of Sept. 29 while talking about a burglary he and others allegedly had just committed in the 300 block of East Hervey Drive.

In the 45-minute-plus audio, one suspect described where the burglary happened and how they eluded police. The suspects can also be heard listening to the Bon Jovi song, “Wanted Dead or Alive.”

Police located and arrested three suspects in Octo-

ber, based on what an emergency dispatcher heard in the 911 call.

In addition to Burrell, Marvin Myers and Yvonne Thyberg were charged in connection to the burglary along East Hervey Drive.

Thyberg, 35, also of Roswell, is also charged with three felonies; residential burglary, conspiracy to commit residential burglary and tampering with evidence.

Authorites had a section of Phoenix Road in Midway closed to traffic Monday as they investigated where a dead body was found. Around 5:30 a.m. Monday, a body of a man was discovered by a property owner on Phoenix Road near No Name Road. The name of the victim was not known and no other details were available at press time.

A cadet at New Mexico Military Institute who says he was inspired to serve in the U.S. military after North Korea attacked South Korean forces has been nominated by U.S. Sen. Tom Udall to attend the U.S. Naval Academy.

Austin Kyung, a U.S. citizen from Seoul, South Korea, graduated high school from New Mexico Military Institute in May after transferring to NMMI as a high school senior.

Kyung, 19, is currently a freshman in the Academy Prep program at NMMI. He is slated to graduate in May 2016.

Kyung said his military training at NMMI has greatly helped prepare him for the naval academy. He said he intends on becoming a Marine Corps officer after receiving his commission at the naval academy at Annapolis.

“I want to go into the

Conservatives work to block Dance instructor, community volunteer Bobbi Alcorn dies Obama on immigration

WASHINGTON (AP) — Conservatives circulated draft legislation Monday aimed at blocking President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration from taking ef fect, as Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson prepared to offer GOP critics a fullthroated defense of the new policies.

Obama’s move to shield some 4 million immigrants here illegally from deportation amounts to “simple common sense,” Johnson was to tell the Republicanled House Homeland Security Committee Tuesday in the administration’s first testimony on the issue since Obama announced the changes two weeks ago.

“The reality is that, given our limited resources, these people are not priorities for removal,” Johnson said in prepared written testimony. “It’s time we acknowledge that and encourage them to be held accountable.”

Republicans have vowed to stop Obama’s moves from taking effect, but how they will do so remained unclear as they returned to Capitol Hill on Monday after a weeklong Thanksgiving break. GOP leadership in the House planned to discuss options in a closed-door meeting with the rank-and-file on Tuesday morning.

The issue is tied in with the need to pass a government funding bill by Dec. 11, or risk a shutdown.

Conservatives have been agitating to use any government funding bill to block Obama’s moves, and on Monday conservatives on and off Capitol Hill circulated bill language that would stipulate that no money or fees “may be used by any agency to implement, administer, enforce or carry out any of the policy changes” announced by Obama.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday Obama would veto any government spending bill that undid his executive actions on immigration.

“What the president announced about 10 days ago was entirely consistently with the precedent that was established by previous precedents — by previous presidents and is well within the legal confines of the law as it relates to prosecutorial discretion,” Earnest said.

Others in the Republican Party have war ned that including such language would court a government shutdown that could backfire on the GOP, since Obama would be certain to veto it. Lawmakers were casting about for other approaches, including a full-year spending bill for

most government agencies combined with a shorter term measure for departments that deal with immigration.

All agreed they must stop Obama in the wake of November midterm elections where they retook control of the Senate and increased their majority in the House.

“The president’s decision to bypass Congress and grant amnesty to millions of unlawful immigrants is unconstitutional and a threat to our democracy,” the Homeland Security Committee chair man, Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, said in a statement. “I will use every tool at my disposal to stop the president’s unconstitutional actions from being implemented, starting with this oversight hearing.”

Obama’s deportation deferral applies to people who’ve been in the country more than five years and have kids who are citizens or legal permanent residents. He also expanded an existing program that grants work permits and deportation deferrals to immigrants brought here illegally as kids, and reordered law enforcement priorities to focus on new arrivals and people with criminal records.

Police: Shots fired at home, vehicle A2 Tuesday, December 2, 2014

Circle K robbed

Roswell Police are investigating an incident that occurred around midnight Sunday in which multiple shots were fired at a residence and a vehicle parked in the driveway of the residence in the 2900 block of Emerald Drive.

Investigators are seeking any information that members of the public may have regarding the incident, according to a news release from the police department.

Multiple shots struck the house and vehicle, but only one shot found its way inside the house, where there are believed to have been eight to 10 people at the time.

The shot hit a living room wall. No one was injured. Other shots struck the house’s foundation. Investigators cannot say definitively whether the shots were fired from a vehicle driving by or from someone on foot. The people in the house told police they were unable to adequately get a look at any vehicle or person outside to offer any sort of description.

This is the second incident of shots fir ed at a residence or vehicle in

this block of Emerald Drive in a little more than two months.

The previous incident occurred on Sept. 19. The investigation into that shooting remains pending as little information was able to be gathered since the person who reported the incident refused to identify himself or herself.

“This incident, as well as all others like it that endanger the citizens of our city, will be thoroughly investigated using the police department’s full resources,” said Police Chief Phil Smith. “This type of behavior will not be tolerated in our community. Incidents of violence, whether involving a firearm or not, will always bring a full investigation with the goal of identifying and prosecuting those responsible. In line with that, we ask that anyone who may know anything about this incident share that information with our investigators.”

Anyone with infor mation regarding this latest shooting case, or the one in September, is asked to call the Roswell Police Department at 624-6770 or Chaves County Crime Stoppers at 1-888-594-

Thyberg is also scheduled to stand jury trial in magistrate court Feb. 2 on an unrelated misdemeanor charge of making a false report of a violation of the criminal code.

Myers, 30, also of Roswell, was charged with residential burglary, conspiracy to commit residential burglary and receiving stolen property The felony charges against Myers were dismissed without prejudice in Chaves County magistrate court on Oct. 22.

Deputy district attorney Matthew Stone filed the nolle prosequi motions, citing the best interest of justice.

Police said Burrell did not realize he had called 911 as he carried on the conversation with friends, speaking about the burglary with the phone close enough for the dispatcher to hear.

The dispatcher could hear one man describing breaking into a residence and stealing something, which was later discovered to be a flat screen TV valued at $4,500.

Police said the discussion even included a mention of the address of the burglary, as well as a description of the area where the burglars had entered the home.

The conversation also included talk of another house where the stolen TV was stashed, police said.

Police said the stolen TV and other items believed to have been stolen during other burglaries were recovered.

Police were dispatched to the house in the 300 block of East Hervey Drive and found the house had been burglarized.

Police said the house turned out to be the home of Thyberg’s mother.

The dispatcher was able to identify the 911 call as coming from the area of the 100 block of Monksdale Drive, numerous blocks to the south of the burglary site.

Police said the call also was traced to a phone number registered to Burrell.

Police spoke with Burrell and his wife, who is not charged in connection to the burglary.

“Is this because my husband’s phone went of f again?” police quoted Burrell’s wife. “His phone dials 911 every once in a while.”

Attorney Thomas Grover, who represents Dear, called the firing “unjust and ripe for appeal.” He said the internal probe centered on Dear’s lapel camera use and

the type of gloves he wore.

Dear had been on administrative leave since he fatally shot suspected truck thief Mary Hawkes following an April 21 chase.

Dear shot Hawkes after she pulled a weapon on him, according to police. An autopsy showed Hawkes died from three gunshot wounds to the head, neck and chest.

Kyung was among 43 New Mexico students last week Udall announced he had nominated to attend U.S. service academies.

The academy nominees included two others from southeastern New Mexico.

Earl Crosby, of Hope, and Cristian Marquez, of

Carlsbad, were also nominated by Udall to attend the naval academy.

A congressional, vicepresidential, or serviceconnected nomination is required for admission to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York.

“All of the service academies provide an excellent education that prepares students to excel in both military and civilian life,” Udall said. “I am confident that the students who chose to enroll in the

academies will represent New Mexico well, and I wish them the greatest success as they continue their education and into the future.”

Students receiving Udall's nomination completed a competitive application process, which included an interview with the senator’s Military Academy Service Panels, comprised of military and community leaders.

The students will now compete for admission to the service academies over the coming months. Those admitted will begin classes in the summer of 2015 as members of the class of 2019.

The shooting evoked an outcry because of the lack of video from Dear’s lapel camera. Manufacturer Taser International inspected the camera to determine if Dear failed to turn it on or it malfunctioned. The results were inconclusive.

Grover said Albuquerque police supervisors have recommended Dear by fired. He said the Albuquerque police had been “painfully vague” why Dear had been placed on leave.

Albuquerque officials recently signed an agreement with the U.S. Justice Department to overhaul the police force. Under the agreement, Albuquerque police must provide better training for officers and dismantle troubled units.

For ‘goverment dependence’ look to locals A4 Tuesday, December 2, 2014

A gover nment employment number stepped from the shadows recently and got my attention. The number was for local government.

First, a bit of context.

States that have a whole lot of federal government spending tend to be states that are home to large expensive activities that are allocated to the feds. This insight comes from a recent report by wallethub.com, a business finance website operated by Evolution Finance of Washington, D.C. (evolutionfinance.com).

States attracting federal money tend to be border states (New Mexico, Arizona, Montana), located on a coast with big ports (Louisiana), with military, reservations and federally owned land (especially in the West) and national parks. Uniquely among the states attracting proportionally significant federal spending, New Mexicans do research and

development on behalf of national security.

Military personnel are not in the usual non-agricultural wage job numbers. That means Cannon and Holloman Air Force bases, White Sands Missile Range (run by the Army) and the military at Kirtland Air Force Base, which is unusual in being a multi-mission facility with everything from special forces activity to space research.

A look at the 13 big job classifications suggests that Pogo had it right when he said, “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

Roswell Daily Record

Accept that the statistics are murky, so what follows may be of the kinda sorta variety, but close enough, I think.

From September 1999 to September 2006, local government employment went from 88,500 to 105,000. That’s a 16,500-job, or 19 percent, increase for what one might consider the government closest to “us,” as Pogo said. The growth was 2,357 jobs per year.

Of that, 6,600 jobs, not quite 1,000 annually, were in “local government education,” the public schools.

Through September 2014, local government employment dropped a bit — to 103,400 — as the state economy and state government endured some tough times. But not local government. (The choice of dates was entirely arbitrary).

Federal employment was steady during the period at just over 30,000.

To talk honestly about govern-

ment dependence, we need to start at home. Some of the money has to be federal. Sen. Tom Udall’s website shows news releases dated Sept. 29 and Oct. 6 announcing $1.5 million for 16 agricultural marketing projects, including $550,000 for nine produce efforts. On Oct. 1, Udall announced $547,000 to Emerging Technology Ventures (etvamerica.com) of Alamogordo for a “regional innovation cluster.” In May, ETV scored $500,000 from the state and the city of Alamogordo for its plant.

Back in the “meanwhile” department, the employment total in the important professional and business services sector dropped just 100 between 2006 and 2014. The PBS sector, the second largest private job group, employing 97,100 in September, is a proxy for technical contractors such as engineers and software types who come and go from

research organizations such as national laboratories.

These days Los Alamos has about 7,500 employees. Sandia National Laboratories says it employs about 8,800 in Albuquerque, a figure that has steadily grown since dropping to 7,430 in 2009. Sandia hired 1,600 during the 2013 fiscal year.

As local government employment increased and stayed up, two smaller, important private sectors went in opposite directions. Mining, meaning mostly oil and gas, has more than doubled employment to 28,100 from 13,200 in 1999. Manufacturing went the other way, losing more than a third of its 44,200 jobs in 1999 to register 27,800 jobs in September 2014.

Overall, then, our federal “gover nment dependence” is on appropriate activity — land, See MORGAN, Page A5

EDITORIAL

In the market for a Pentagon chief While he may not like the analogy much, President Barack Obama’s final days in office are starting to bear an uncanny resemblance to those of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Both men saw their popularity decline precipitously in their second terms amid concerns that the federal government was no longer competent. Both men suffered stinging rebukes during their final midterm elections. And both men reacted to the electoral backlash by removing their top man at the Pentagon.

Last week, Mr. Obama announced the departure of Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.

We voiced our skepticism of Mr. Hagel during his confirmation hearings nearly two years ago. Unlike his two immediate predecessors, Leon Panetta and Robert Gates, Mr. Hagel had no relevant experience in running complex institutions.

That’s a key consideration for a Secretary of Defense, whose administrative responsibilities are arguably more complex than those of anyone in the federal government apart from the president himself.

As is customary during outbreaks of Washington backbiting, it’s not entirely clear what factors led to Mr. Hagel’s ouster.

Sources close to the White House are attempting to paint the outgoing secretary as overmatched by the job. Those in Hagel’s camp, by contrast, blame a White House intent on micromanaging the Pentagon. We only note that the two conclusions are not mutually exclusive.

All of the Beltway drama, however, is overshadowing a more substantive concern: The United States is currently in the market for a new Secretary of Defense in the midst of a war. That means there are two key variables to choosing Mr. Hagel’s successor: finding someone who is equal to the task and choosing a candidate who can be confirmed without a prolonged delay.

It is surely a bad sign for the Obama administration that two of the leading candidates for the job, former Under Secretary of Defense Michele Flournoy and Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, have already taken themselves out of the running. As the White House continues the search for a replacement, they ought to consider one more parallel with George W. Bush’s tenure.

Mr. Bush’s choice of Robert Gates as Donald Rumsfeld’s replacement in 2006 provides a worthwhile example. Mr. Gates was competent, experienced and respected by elected officials on both sides of the aisle. Moreover, he was able to continue his tenure through Mr. Obama’s early years in office, providing much-needed stability during a time of transition.

President Obama has repeatedly said that he expects the conflict with ISIS to outlast his time in office. The president ought to do his successor the same favor that Mr. Bush did him: choosing a candidate who commands such universal respect that he or she can be called on by the next president if necessary.

That would provide a worthy corrective to Mr. Hagel’s underwhelming tenure.

Coal is indispensable for decades to come

BY MARTIN KRAL GUEST COLUMNIST

In the last column, I introduced three primary categories of energy sources; fossil, renewable and nuclear, that is used to generate electricity to provide heat, light and all those other industrial “goodies” for our standard of living. Mankind has been using the sun for heat and light from the very beginning until they discovered the benefits of fire as an alternative to the sun. Fire became the new controlled energy and has lasted until this day.

Fossil fuel is Mother Nature’s way of storing energy from the decay of plant and animals over billions of years. While technically we can say that fossil is also renewable, it will take billions of years to replace any that we use. Therefore it is not renewable in man’s lifetime on this Earth. Once we use it, it is gone forever. However, too completely ban using reliable coal energy as the advocates suggest would be criminal since 85 percent of our energy comes from fossil and has given us the lifestyle we all enjoy.

Coal is the most abundant and cheapest energy source on Earth and that is why it is the primary “burning” source of energy for generating electricity around the world. While coal has tremendous benefits for mankind it also comes with a toxic footprint on the biosphere from mountain top strip mining extraction to the storage of the waste material after it is burned. It definitely does not pass any atmospheric clean air test.

Because there are hundreds of years of coal reserves (maybe thousands not yet found) stored in the ground all around the world, it is worth investing in trying to find ways to use it cleanly.

Several attempts at cleaner coal are being tried with some success but at a cost. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is probably one technique you may have heard of and through scrubbing technology has been implemented at some of the newer coal plant construction projects. The aim is to prevent the release of large quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere mitigating the contribution of fossil

fuel emissions to global warming and ocean acidification by capturing and injecting the CO2 into geological formations. This is not a new technique because the oil industry has been doing enhanced oil recovery with CO2 for decades.

There has been recent research done at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab (LLNL) that developed Direct Coal Fuel Cell (DCFC), which is a process that will convert the chemical energy in coal directly into electricity without burning it and generate twice the electricity per unit of coal without releasing CO2 and the other toxic pollutants into the atmosphere.

While the process is cleaner and twice as efficient then burning the coal, the current political attitude is to avoid coal at all cost.

The coal industry has also been a little reluctant to switch generating methods. There needs to be a gradual transition, not a disruptive change, and I trust man’s ingenuity to get it right sooner than later.

Coal energy will be around for a long time because it is still the cheapest form of generating

utility scale electricity, regardless of climate change policies.

Coal usage is actually on the rise around the world as developing nations are starting to come on-line with their own expanded power grids.

In fact, there has been an 80 percent increase in worldwide fossil fuel usage from 1980 to 2012, proving the early doom and gloom predictors had it wrong even though there has been a slight increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

OK, so my sense is, coal is here to stay. Coal has made our climate very livable and coal is indispensable for decades to come. The coal industry just needs to be more innovative so its use can be balanced with the needs of mankind and the biosphere.

heart disease in younger menopausal women, but increases the risk of heart disease in older menopausal women? Why should age matter? It has to do with the effect of female hormones on blood vessels.

The most common type of heart disease is atherosclerosis of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Atherosclerosis causes cholesterol-filled "plaques" in the walls of the arteries. As these plaques grow, they can block the flow of blood through the arteries.

When blood flow to a part of the heart muscle stops, the muscle dies. That's what happens in a heart attack.

Some heart attacks are caused by plaques that slowly grow and finally become so

large that they shut off the blood supply to a part of the heart. However, more heart attacks are caused by smaller plaques. These plaques are not large enough to block blood flow very much.

But each plaque has a cap of fibers that holds in the plaque's pool of cholesterol. In some plaques, called "vulnerable plaques," inflammation inside the plaque eats away at the fibrous cap. Suddenly, the fibers rupture, cholesterol spills into the artery, a blood clot forms — and blood flow to a part of the heart stops.

Estrogen slows the development of plaques. By the time a woman reaches menopause,

Hormone therapy can increase heart risk in women over 60

DEAR DOCTOR K: I'm 68 years old and have been on low-dose estrogen therapy since I had a hysterectomy (and started menopause) at age 50. My doctor won't prescribe it anymore because he says it increases my risk of heart problems. Is that true?

DEAR READER: The effect of hormone therapy on the heart is a controversial area.

Hor mone therapy usually involves "combination therapy," with both estrogens (the main female hormones) and progestins (other important female hormones). Estrogen helps reduce symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes. Progestin reduces the risk of cancer of the uterus.

In my opinion, combination therapy or estrogen therapy

alone probably reduces the risk of heart disease among women entering menopause, and for five to 10 years thereafter. But then, about 10 years after menopause, combination hor mone therapy begins to increase the risk of heart disease. So your doctor has reason to be concerned.

Renditions of your favorite reindeer at library Roswell Daily Record

BY LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

The “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” animated TV special premiered on Dec. 6, 1964. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of this event, the U.S. Postal Service is offering newly designed postage stamps featuring Rudolph, Hermey, Santa and Bumble. The stamps may be used for mailing those Christmas cards and letters or purchased by collectors and hobbyists.

Rudolph and his friends have been hypnotizing legions of young (and not so young) fans each year, encouraging them to have “A Holly Jolly Christmas.” Children love the cast of misfit characters and, from them, they learn about new possibilities.

The Abominable Snow Monster’s new gig as a Christmas tree trimmer demonstrates the possibilities of rehabilitation, reconciliation and reinvention. The Island of Misfit Toys gives us hope that, even when we feel most rejected and alone, there is someone out there who will love us. Perhaps, part of the reason Rudolph “went down in history” is the enduring and inspirational message of don’t discriminate on the basis of appearance.

The animated show may be 50, but the original Rudolph is over 75. Bob May wrote the story in 1938 as a present to his daughter to give her hope and comfort following the death of her mother. The Montgomery Ward department store printed the book, which was distributed to children visiting Santa Claus in their stores. The song was written

by May’s brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, and was recorded by Gene Autry in 1949.

her own natural estrogen has helped protect her against developing plaques. The estrogen in hormone therapy continues to slow (but not stop) plaque development.

By 10 years after menopause, however, the average woman has vulnerable plaques that threaten to rupture.

Estrogen increases inflammation inside the plaques, and it causes blood to clot more easily.

So estrogen now increases the risk of heart attacks.

In 1897, the U.S.S. Jeannette sets sail under Captain George De Long. The popular theory of the time was that the North Pole was an island surrounded by a vast sea of warm, tropical currents. However, the expedition was stymied by ice and their steamboat was wedged in for two winters. When the crew was forced to abandon ship, they had to trek across the barren landscape north of Siberia.

Tapping archival material, including diaries, letters, and the ship logs; Sides shares this saga of survival in unbelievably harsh conditions while battling madness and starvation.

Laura Hillenbrand spent years researching World War II and Japanese POW camps, as well as hours interviewing Louis Zamperini for her book, “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption.”

Zamperini was a young Olympic athlete and World War II hero. He survived a plane crash in the Pacific theater, spent 47 days drifting on a raft, and survived more than two and a half years in a brutal Japanese internment camp.

This is a fascinating look into one man’s experiences and survival and even more amazing is his forgiveness of his torturers.

Hillenbrand’s triumph is that in telling Louie’s story, she tells the stories of thousands whose suffering has been mostly forgotten.

NATION/OBITUARIES

Jurors to hear Steve Jobs testimony at trial SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After nearly a decade in legal wrangling, a billion-dollar class-action lawsuit over Apple’s iPod music players heads to trial on Tuesday in a California federal court.

Attorneys for consumers and electronics retailers claim Apple Inc. used software in its iTunes store that forced would-be song buyers to use iPods instead of cheaper music players made by rivals. The software is no longer used, but the plaintiffs argue that it inflated the prices of millions of iPods sold between 2006 and 2009 — to the tune of $350 million.

Under federal antitrust law, the tech giant could be ordered to pay three times that amount if the jury agrees with the estimate and finds the damages resulted from anticompetitive behavior.

Underscoring the case’s hoary origins — it was filed in January 2005, which is eons ago by Silicon Valley standards — one of the key witnesses will be legendary Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who died in 2011 but will be heard in a videotaped deposition.

“The fact that this case is still going 10 years later is a sign that technology often outpaces law,” said Mark Lemley, a Stanford law professor.

Attorneys are set to make opening statements Tuesday morning in the Oakland, California courtroom of U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.

The case harkens back to the early days of digital music and portable devices, when Apple quickly became the world’s biggest legal seller of downloaded songs after launching its iTunes store in 2003. By agreement with major record companies, which were wary of unauthorized copying and file-sharing services like Napster and Kazaa, Apple encoded the songs sold through iTunes with “digital rights management” soft-

ware that prevented unauthorized copying. The same software, known as FairPlay, was also built into iPods.

But Apple’s FairPlay was incompatible with anti-copying code used by other online music sellers, such as the RealPlayer Music Store operated by RealNetworks, an Internet streaming company based in Seattle. As a result, songs from rival online stores could not be played on iPods, and songs purchased on iTunes could not be played on competing portable devices, including Microsoft’s Zune and Diamond Multimedia’s Rio music player.

Music fans chafed at the restrictions. RealNetworks soon introduced coding that allowed songs purchased from its store to be played on iPods and other devices.

But Apple blocked the RealNetworks code, known as Harmony, when it released an update to the iTunes program in 2004. Real tried again with a new version of Harmony, but it was blocked by another iTunes update in September 2006.

The plaintiffs contend that music lovers were effectively locked into using iPod players, because they could not easily switch their music collections to other portable devices. This prevented competition that would have driven down iPod prices, plaintiffs say. Apple sold iPods at prices ranging from $79 to $349 in the fall of 2006. It would sell nearly 150 million of the devices over the next two and a half years, during the period covered by the lawsuit.

Apple stopped using the restrictive FairPlay code in early 2009, after record companies shifted strategy to embrace the growing popularity of digital music. More recently, the music industry has moved toward a streaming-focused business model rather than selling

A billion-dollar classaction lawsuit over Apple’s iPod music players heads to trial in a California federal court Tuesday, in an antitrust case where the legal wrangling has lasted far longer than the technology that sparked the complaint.

copies of songs for individual download.

But attorneys for the plaintiffs maintain that iPod buyers are still entitled to compensation for past harm. Although iPod prices have fallen — models that come with more memory now retail for $49 to $299 — plaintiffs’ attorney Bonny Sweeney said in an interview: “Prices always go down in the tech market. But the prices were still higher than they should have been.”

If their attorneys prevail, the class of plaintiffs who would be eligible for damages include consumers and some retailers who bought iPods between Sept. 12, 2006 and March 31, 2009.

Apple declined comment outside court, but its attorneys have argued that Apple competed fairly by designing its iTunes updates to provide legitimate security protection and a host of other features desired by consumers. Apple lawyers William Isaacson and

Karen Dunn also contend in court papers that the plaintiffs’ economic expert used flawed assumptions to conclude that the software inflated iPod prices.

The Cupertino, California company has said it paid no attention to online rivals when it set the price of iPods. Sweeney, however, said Apple was “furious” with RealNetworks when it released the Harmony software. She said Jobs’ testimony will show Apple’s reaction.

Aside from its focus on technology no longer in use, legal experts say the case is noteworthy because most antitrust claims get tossed by a judge or settled out of court.

“Only a very small handful of antitrust cases go to trial,” said University of Iowa law professor Herbert Hovenkamp. It’s difficult to prove consumers were harmed in such cases and the outcome often comes down to a duel between economic experts, he said.

GOP aide resigns over criticism

WASHINGTON (AP) — An aide to a Republican congressman resigned Monday after her Facebook post criticizing President Barack Obama’s daughters touched off a backlash.

Elizabeth Lauten, communications director to Rep. Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, said 16-year -old Malia Obama and her sister Sasha, 13, should have shown more “class” at a turkey-pardoning ceremony last week at the White House.

Addressing her comments directly to the Obama girls, Lauten wrote that they should “respect the part you play,” and added: “Then again your mother and father don’t respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I’m guessing you’re coming up a little short in the ‘good role model’ department.”

Lauten also urged the Obama girls to “dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar.”

Lauten later apologized for the comments and deleted the original post, which drew harsh criticism across social media.

Jessica Carter, chief of staff for Fincher, said Monday that Lauten resigned.

Carter had no additional comment on a personnel matter.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he was surprised that a congressional staffer would use a Thanksgiving-themed event to criticize the first family, adding that it’s “pretty much common sense” that the first daughters should be off-limits to criticism.

Earnest said the incident is a reminder that people who frequently speak in public need to choose their words carefully and be mindful of how their words will be perceived.

After Lauten’s post became the topic of conversation on a variety websites, she issued an apology, saying “many hours of prayer,” conversations with her family and a re-reading of her words made her reconsider the post.

“When I first posted on Facebook I reacted to an article and I quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager,” Lauten told The Commercial Appeal of Memphis in an email.

“Please know, those judgmental feelings truly have no place in my heart. Furthermore, I’d like to apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended with my words.”

Roy Herron, chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party, called Lauten’s criticism of the Obama daughters “cruel, outrageous and inexcusable.”

Herron called the comment an “unprecedented low in Washington mudslinging” and “absolutely toxic for our civic life and political culture.”

Sean Spicer, communications director for the Republican National Committee, tweeted Monday that “children, especially the first daughters, are off limits.”

But while Lauten’s comments were “inappropriate and insensitive, the mainstream media’s coverage of this story is appalling,” Spicer said.

Girl Scouts byting into digital for cookie sales

NEW YORK (AP) — Watch out world, the Girl Scouts are going digital to sell you cookies.

For the first time since sales began nearly 100 years ago, Girl Scouts of the USA will allow its young go-getters to push their wares using a mobile app or personalized websites.

But only if their scout councils and guardians say OK. “Girls have been telling us that they want to go into this space,” said Sarah Angel-Johnson, chief digital cookie executive for the organization covering about 2 million girls. “Online is where entrepreneurship is going.”

And the best news for these digital natives: They can have cookies shipped directly to your doorstep.

More than 1 million scouts, from kindergartenage Daisies to teens, were expected to opt in as cookie-selling season cranks up this month and the scouting organization gets digital sales underway. But the tactic is intended to enhance, not replace, the paper spreadsheets used to generate an estimated $800 million in cookie sales a year — at anywhere from $3.50 to $5 a box, depending on scout council.

There are important elessons here, scout officials said, such as better articulating and tracking goals, lear ning to handle customers and money in a new way, and more efficiently processing credit card information.

“A lot of people have asked, ‘What took you so long to get online?’ We spend a lot of time thinking how do we make this safe, scalable and smart,” Kelly M. Parisi, chief communications executive for Girl Scouts of the USA, said at a recent demonstration for

select media.

Councils were offered one of the two platforms but not both. For web-based sales, scouts customize their pages, using their first names only, and email prospective customers with links to click on for orders.

They can also put up videos explaining who they are and what they plan to do with their proceeds.

The mobile platfor m of fers tabs for tracking sales and allows for the sale of bundles of different kinds of cookies. It can be used on a phone or tablet.

“They can get them quicker than waiting for me to deliver them because sometimes it takes me a long time to deliver,” offered 11-year-old Priscilla at the preview. The adults at the event asked that only first names of scouts be used.

Added 7-year-old Anna: “My favorite part is that now I can sell more Girl Scout Cookies.” She pulled down about 200 boxes last year and has upped her goal to 600. Girl Scouts use their cookie money to pay for community service work or troop activities such as camping and other trips.

The websites will not be accessible without an email invitation, requiring the girls to build client lists.

And personal information is as protected as any digits out there, for both the scouts and customers, using encryption in some cases.

Much of the responsibility to limit identifying details about scouts online falls on parents.

T roop Leader Karen Porcher of the Bronx has an 11-year-old scout and is particularly psyched about the digital options. They live in a house rather than an apartment, and she and her husband work at home, eliminating at-office cookie and neighborly building

sales.

“During cookie season my daughter is wearing her (scout) vest on the subway and people are so excited to see a Girl Scout,” Porcher explained. “Strangers actually will buy a case of cookies and wait for her to call.

This is going to be amazing because now she can just say ‘Give me your business card,’ or ‘I’ll take your email address,’ send the email and they can be delivered.

This is gonna be sweet.”

Porcher also sees wordof-mouth value in getting cookies delivered quickly.

“People are going to be walking around with cookies and others are going to say, ‘Whoa, how did you get those already?”’

Zack Bennett of Manhattan has a 9-year-old scout who sold more than 1,000 boxes last year. She hopes to increase her goal to 1,500 this season and went through training to learn how to set up her new cookie website.

But dad won’t be letting her loose alone.

“I’ll be sitting in the

backseat to help her, certainly when it comes to credit cards, things of that

sort,” he said. “But it makes per fect sense to have it be on the computer.

It’s definitely time the Girl Scouts came into the 21st century.”

Miami Dolphins tight end Dion Sims (80) is tripped up by New York Jets inside linebacker David Harris (52) during the second quarter of an NFL football game, Monday.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins found the right formula to stay in the AFC playoff race: Simply let the Jets run the ball all night, and wait for New York to make mistakes.

It worked effectively in an old-fashioned — some might say dull — slugfest.

Caleb Sturgis’ third field goal, from 26 yards with 1:57 remaining, gave Miami (7-5) a comeback 16-13 victory over its archrival.

New York (2-10) rushed for 277 yards on 49 carries, but made enough key errors in the second half to lose.

The Dophins remained a factor in the wild-card race thanks to rookie Jarvis Landry’s eight receptions, Lamar Miller’s 4-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter, and plenty of defense when the Jets needed to pass.

New York threw only 13 times, fewest in the NFL this season, and gained 49 yards. The usually reliable Nick Folk missed two field goals.

All of that offset a season high on the ground as Chris Johnson had his best performance for the Jets with 105 yards.

“Can’t believe we’re 210,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said, shaking his head and pausing.

“It’s a joke.”Sturgis also made field goals of 43 and 44 yards.

After trailing most of the way, Miami tied it on Miller’s run with 10:24

remaining. That brought the loudest cheers of the night; thousands of Dolphins fans at MetLife Stadium braved the wet, windy conditions.

Jets problems with penalties on special teams hurt them all night, and a holding call against Saalim Hakim set up the Dolphins at New York’s 39 on the tying drive. On the winning possession, backup tight end Dion Sims had catches of 18 and 17 yards.

The Jets kept pounding the ball effectively. They even got into field goal position after Miami made it 13-13. But Koa Misi’s sack pushed New York back to the Miami 27 and Folk missed wide left for the second time. Folk had made 18 of 20 entering the game.

That’s the way the Jets’ season has gone, of course.

“I feel sick,” Ryan said.

“We can’t buy a win.”

Early on, Greg Salas, with his fourth team in four pro seasons, scored his first career touchdown. But the receiver didn’t get it through the air, instead scoring on a well-conceived reverse on which the Dolphins had no one close to him until he reached the 2.

He dived into the end zone to cap an 85-yard drive, but that ended his night; Salas hurt a hamstring.

Sturgis missed a 43-yard field goal on the next possession for Miami, further boosting New York’s confidence. The Jets took the ball into Dolphins territory for

the third successive series, and got more points on Folk’s 40-yard field goal.

As New York kept grinding away on the ground — it had 210 yards rushing in the opening half — it also ate up the clock. But Folk missed from 48 yards and Miami took advantage on Sturgis’ 43-yard field goal to end the half.

Sturgis added his 44yarder to start the second half, and Folk followed with a 45-yarder that bounced off the crossbar and through, making it 13-6.

Then came two huge plays that led to, well, nothing.

Dion Jordan partially blocked R yan Quigley’s punt, resulting in a 6-yard kick to the New York 41. It was the second straight week an opponent got a piece of a Quigley punt.

On the next play, though, Miller bobbled Ryan Tannehill’s short pass and the ball squirted into cornerback Darrin Walls’ hands.

Walls slipped, got up and returned the interception 25 yards to the Dolphins 30.

But Cameron Wake got a sack — he leads Miami with 9 1-2 — and that forced a punt.

Notes:

Tannehill was 25 of 35 for 235 yards. Smith threw for 65 yards on his seven completions, but also was sacked twice for minus-16 yards ... New York’s previous rushing high this season was 218 vs. New England.

Rams: Players will not be disciplined for gesture ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Rams and the NFL will not discipline the five players who stood with their hands raised in a show of solidarity with Ferguson protesters before Sunday’s game.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that it was his players’ “choice to exercise their free speech,” but he would not comment further on their actions.

“It’s my personal opinion, I firmly believe, that it’s important that I keep sports and politics separate,” Fisher said. “I’m a head coach. I’m not a politician, an activist or an expert on societal issues, so I’m going to answer questions about the game.”

Fisher did say he plans to talk with the players, who are all black, but those conversations will remain confidential.

Bridgewater shows progress

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.

(AP) — Though the playoff chase has eluded the Minnesota Vikings yet again this year, these final four games still serve an important purpose.

As soon as rookie Teddy Bridgewater took over at quarterback, his development was always going to be as much of a priority as winning itself. Progress has been sporadic, but his performance on Sunday was one of those steps forward.

“I think I’m better at just making quicker decisions,” said Bridgewater, who posted season highs with a completion rate of 71.4 and a passer rating of 120.7 in the 31-13 victory over Carolina.

“Earlier in the year, I talked about getting rid of the ball faster. That wasn’t the issue. I think I just made quicker decisions, and if I’m able to make quicker decisions I’m able to get the ball out faster.”

The Panthers are reeling,

with only one win in their past 10 games, but Bridgewater was as sharp as he’d been since his debut on Sept. 28.

He threw two touchdown passes for the second game in a row, and for the fifth time in nine NFL starts he was turnover-free. He only went deep twice, but those throws were on target, which has been one of his struggles so far this season.

“Obviously he’s going to get the brunt of everything because he’s in the highprofile position,” wide receiver Greg Jennings said. “The way he bounces back, the way he performs, the way he leads without even audibly saying anything, he’s a special kid to be around.”

Coach Mike Zimmer’s casual chats with his experienced players have turned up the same intel.

a suburb of St. Louis — have been using since a

grand jury did not indict police officer Darren Wilson over the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown, who was black.

Some witnesses said Brown had his hands up before being shot by officer Wilson. Wilson, who is white, told the grand jury that he shot Brown in self-defense.

The players’ made their show of support before running onto the field during pregame introductions.

Later Sunday, the St. Louis Police Officer’s Association issued a statement demanding the players be disciplined and the NFL to issue an apology.

The NFL responded with a one-sentence statement Monday from spokesman Brian McCarthy: “We respect and understand the concer ns of all individuals who have expressed views on this tragic situation.”

Fisher did say Rams Chief Operating Officer Kevin Demoff spoke with local law enforcement about the gesture. He declined to elaborate on the discussion.

“They will not be disciplined by the club nor will they be disciplined by the National Football League,” Fisher said of his players.

After the Rams’ 52-0 rout of Oakland, the players said they meant no disrespect by their show of support. “ We j u s t u n d e r s t a n d that it’s a big tragedy and we hope something positive comes out of it,” Bailey said, following his five catch 100-yard performance.

Added Cook: “We help build up the people around this community daily with our visiting schools and talking to kids, so coming out and showing that we’re unified with the rest of them, it was key to us.”

Spurs edge out 76ers 109-103 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Spurs didn’t have T im Duncan or Tony Parker, and it gave Kawhi Leonard a chance to shine.

Leonard scored a gamehigh 26 points and had a crucial three-point play in the final minute to help the San Antonio Spurs defeat the winless 76ers 109-103, extending Philadelphia’s franchiseworst losing streak to start the season to 0-17.

“I try to assert myself every night but tonight there were a lot of shots to shoot,” Leonard said.

The Spurs (13-4) played without stars Duncan (rest) and Parker (shoulder). Even without the duo’s more than 31 points, San Antonio had little trouble dispatching Philadelphia. Aron Baynes scored 15 points and Manu Ginobili and Cory Joseph each added 14 for San Antonio, which won

its eighth straight.

Leonard also had 10 rebounds while tying a career-high in points.

Leonard scored 20-plus points for the fourth time this season after doing it three times all of last season.

“We’re trying to loosen up a bit and give him more of a green light,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said.

Michael Carter-Williams had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Alexey Shved chipped in 19 points for Philadelphia.

The 76ers also were short-handed, as leading scorer Tony Wroten (knee) missed his second straight game and rookie first-round pick Nerlens Noel (hip) sat after getting injured in Sunday’s practice.

Philadelphia coach Brett Brown was surprised Noel, who is dayto-day, pulled himself out

after warming up.

“It kind of surprised me he didn’t play,” Brown said. “I think the lesson is everybody in the NBA is injured.”

Philadelphia became just the fourth team in league history to open a season with 17 losses, joining the 1998-99 Clippers (0-17), 1988-89 Heat (0-17) and the 2009-10 Nets (0-18). The 76ers can tie the Nets for the worst start in NBA history on Wednesday at Minnesota with a potential chance to break the record at home on Friday against Oklahoma City.

Philadelphia made a late run at the Spurs, pulling within 101-96 with 1 minute, 33 seconds remaining on Henry Sims’ layup. But Leonard put the game away by converting a three-point play to make it 104-96 See SPURS, Page B2

‘What do you think of this guy?’ They all tell me that they love him, number one, and they have great confidence in him in being a great quarterback,” Zimmer said.

“Because they watch him every day, just like I do, they appreciate the way that he handles his business, the way he prepares and studies, all of the things that people outside the rooms don’t see. A lot of them have been on other teams and seen a lot of other great quarterbacks, too.”

The leader on defense in the most improved category?

Cor nerback Xavier Rhodes. He broke up three passes on Sunday to bring his season total to 14.

“I try to preach to these guys every day in practice: Don’t let your guy catch the ball. I think that mentality is starting to show up a little bit with him,” Zimmer said.

“I also think some of the toughness things are showing up with him, as well. I expect our corners to be tough guys and support the run, not come out of the games, things like that.”

The key for Rhodes, who also failed to stay healthy last year as a rookie, has been finding a way to play physical without being

penalized for pass interference or holding.

“I found that happy medium. Now I’m learning.

I know how and when to let go and not be so aggressive at a certain point in the game,” he said. “I’m lear ning the

rules.”

As is with the case of wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, development takes place at dif ferent rates.

Zimmer said Patterson played only three snaps on Sunday because he

missed so much practice time with the game plan this week. Patterson was absent on Wednesday and Thursday to attend a family funeral.

Patterson, who has also been bothered by a knee injury, sounded frustrated

after the game and said he was given no explanation for his limited use. But Zimmer again brushed aside any notion of a problem.

“I have high hopes for him. I’m in his corner. I want him to be a good

player,” Zimmer said. “It would help this football team, it would help me, it would help everybody around that he becomes a great player. It may be not right away.”

ALBUQUERQUE, (AP) — One of college basketball’s most beloved arenas is changing names.

The Pit in New Mexico w ill n ow b e ca ll ed t h e WisePies Arena.

WisePies Pizza & Salad, a local restaurant chain, donated $5 million to the University of New Mexico t o s e cu r e t h e n am i n g rights for The Pit for the n e x t 1 0 ye ar s . T he chain’s name and logo will appear on signs outs id e t h e ar en a, o n t h e court and on tickets.

department. The money w i l l b e u s e d t o p a y of f debt on the arena’s $60 million renovation done in 2010.

“From the time we first discussed the potential renovation of The Pit, we talked about the need for state and private support to make the renovation a reality,” athletic director Paul Krebs said.

The Pit has been one of college basketball’s iconic buildings since opening i n 1 96 6 , o f t en ca t eg orized with D uk e’ s Cameron Indoor Stadium, Kansas’ Allen Fieldhouse and Pennsylvania’s

Palestra among arenas wi th t h e b es t at mosphere.

I ts s ub ter ran ean design sets the playing floor 37 feet below street level, helping make The Pi t o ne of l ou des t an d most dif ficult places to play in the country.

Lobos fans have always considered it a badge of honor that The Pit had ke pt it s or igi na l n am e and not fallen into the lin e o f n a min g- r i gh ts deals that have become so lucrative to universities.

Once the name change was announced on Mon-

day, incredulous Lobos fans filled social media with a steady stream of profanities and disbelief.

S o me L obo f an s s ai d the n a me ch a ng e amounted to disrespect for such a storied venue, wh i le ot h e rs said WisePies Arena would no lon ge r h old t h e sa me kind of intimidation for visiting teams.

A t hl et i c de par tm e nt spo ke sm a n B rad Hutchins said the criticism was expected but that the revenue from the naming rights is crucial.

“We certainly understand not everybody will

like that, but we have a local com p an y, a local New Mexican that helped us with this gift and we ar e p r ou d t o call it WisePies Arena aka The Pit,” he said.

And since many fans have vowed to continue calling the arena The Pit, maybe little will change other than some signs.

In 2013, department of ficials said they were h op in g a com p an y or family would be willing to buy the naming rights for the arena for an amount ranging from $10 million to $15 million. They also acknowledged then the

legacy The Pit name carries locally and nationwide.

The Pit played host to the 1983 Final Four and was the site selected for numerous regionals and first and second rounds over the decades for both men’s and women’s basketball.

Nearly 13 million fans have flocked to the arena over its lifetime, according to university statist ics. T h e Lob os h ave aver ag ed m o r e t h an 15,400 fans over the past 48 years while playing in the arena.

Cowboys wrapping up quirky month of scheduling Roswell Daily Record

IRVING, Texas (AP) — DeMarco Murray paused when a reporter asked him what day it was.

“Thursday,” he finally said, breaking into a broad grin.

The NFL rushing leader nailed the answer — even though it was really Monday.

Such has been life the past month for the Dallas Cowboys. A crazy schedule that started the day they took a Monday flight to London will wrap up with a rare Thursday-to-Thursday double when they visit Chicago this week.

“It certainly has been crazy,” center Travis Frederick said. “That’s kind of the fun of it, too, being able to adjust to it. Some people don’t like it. Some people like it. Some people think it’s not healthy. Some people say it’s good for TV. Whatever it is, it’s interesting to me and it’s fun for me to have to adjust to that.”

To review, the Cowboys flew to London Nov. 3, the day after losing at home to Arizona so they could shake off the jet lag and try to keep the schedule as normal as possible.

After beating the Jaguars, they took a couple of days off, then had a pair of light practices before taking their bye weekend off.

After a regular week of

work before beating the New York Giants on a Sunday night, Dallas had about 90 hours of tur naround time before a Thanksgiving loss to Philadelphia.

Instead of the usual extended break following Thanksgiving, the Cowboys get the Bears on Thursday night. That meant Saturday was Tuesday, a light walkthrough day after meetings.

And Sunday was Wednes-

day. And so on.

If football players are creatures of habit the same way, say, starting pitchers are in baseball, November wasn’t their month in Dallas.

“It’s certainly a very routine sport,” said coach Jason Garrett, who since Friday has reminded reporters what day it actually was at Valley Ranch headquarters.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine deservedly got headlines for his record-setting performance against Kansas.

The guys blocking for him are pretty good, too.

The 18th-ranked Sooners have allowed just six sacks, the lowest total in the nation, heading into their showdown Saturday against rival Oklahoma State.

“We take huge pride in that,” right tackle Daryl Williams said. “We want no sacks. We thought we could do that, but six s a c k s i s s t i l l g o o d . We take huge pride in that.”

Wi l l i a m s , l e f t t a c k l e Tyrus Thompson and center Ty Darlington have started all 11 games this season, and left guard Adam Shead has started 10. Right guard Tyler Evans started the first three games this season and has 31 career starts.

Right guards Nila Kasitati and Dionte Savage have starting experience, too.

Fullback Aaron Ripkowski is a hard hitter, and tight end Blake Bell has been praised for his blocking, too.

Wi l l i a m s , T h o m p s o n and Shead are seniors.

“Guys like me, Tyrus and Adam coming in at the same time — practice, communication during practice and the game — that’s what it takes to be a great offensive line,” Wi l l i a m s s a i d . “ A n d o f course, being physical.”

Williams and Thompson are considered NFL p r o s p e c t s . Wi l l i a m s i s listed at 6-foot-6 and 329 pounds, while Thompson is 6-5 and 336 pounds.

“They’ve played really consistently,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.

“They’ve played great.

They’ve demonstrated their ability to pass protect, and to run block.

They’ve got the size.

They’ve been on the field the whole time. They’ve demonstrated a lot. Those scouts coming through really like them.”

Since quarterback Trevor Knight went down with a neck injury, the Sooners have focused more on the ground game.

Bolstered by Perine’s 427 yards rushing against Kansas, the Sooners have jumped to eighth nationally in yards rushing per

game (265.4) and fifth in yards per carry (6.3). Perine made sure to mention his blockers in the days following the breakout performance.

“That was probably the best part, to have those guys be a part of something like that and dominate the way they did,” he said. “I was extremely proud of them. They put in so much work and preparation in the weight room and in the film room, just to know their assignments.”

Wi t h f r e s h m a n C o d y Thomas starting at quarterback the past two games, Oklahoma ran for 384 yards in a win over Texas Tech and 510 yards against Kansas.

“I was extremely proud of the way they dominated,” Perine said. “I’m extremely happy for those guys. I hope they go out with a bang.”

Stoops said Thomas will start again Saturday because Knight has not been cleared to play against Oklahoma State.

The recent dominance up front has allowed the Sooners to ease Thomas in.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo (9) steps back to pass against the New York Giants during the first quarter of an NFL football game on Sunday, Nov. 23.

“When you have differing schedules we try to recreate that routine as much as we can so there’s a comfort level. But it’s not always going to be perfect.”

Tony Romo, coming off back surgery last December and yet another back injury sustained on a sack in October, appeared to be the one most affected on the field by the quick tur naround in the 33-10 loss to

Eagles. He took sacks rather than try to scramble on a couple of plays, misfired on several throws and lacked some zip on his passes at times.

Romo was back in the practice routine he’s followed all season, skipping the equivalent of the Wednesday workout on Sunday and retur ning a day later.

“In general as athletes

playing in the National Football League, you know what you’re doing every time on a Monday, a Tuesday, you can pretty much write that in a book before the season starts,” Romo said. “But as far as that Thursday, we’ve also had some success on Thursday games. We just didn’t play well in that game last week.”

The post-Thanksgiving break the Cowboys normally get will come after the trip to Chicago. And after that extra bit of time off, Dallas will actually play three consecutive Sundays.

One of those is yet another night game, but Frederick points out that the Cowboys get more of those since they tend to draw strong TV ratings.

“Your habit becomes switching the week to whatever it is,” he said.

“Today’s Sunday but for me in my mind it really is Wednesday, which really messes me up when I’m trying to call home or anything like that.”

Murray didn’t mess up on his pop quiz.

NOTES: LT Tyron Smith returned to practice after missing Sunday with a stomach virus. ... LB Will Smith and WR Chris Boyd were signed to the practice squad. WR Kerry Taylor was released from the practice squad.

For Arizona, it hasn’t been a matter of stopping Marcus Mariota, just throwing him a bit off-kilter.

T h e Wi l d c a t s h a v e defeated the Ducks in each of the last two seasons and coach Rich Rodriguez said that’s because Arizona has been able to slow Oregon’s star quarterback with three things: turnovers, effort and luck.

“If you look back at his stats, he got a lot of yards and big plays, but we got a couple turnovers. Some of it was great individual effort and some of it was a little bit of luck,” Rodriguez said. “If you go back to this game or even the game last season, he still got his yards, and he is still going to get his yar ds and make his plays.”

It appears all but certain at this point that Mariota will be among the Heisman T rophy finalists when they are announced on Dec. 8.

But first the No. 3 Ducks (11-1, 8-1) must play the No. 8 Wildcats (10-2, 7-2) in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday night.

The mobile junior from Hawaii has thrown for at least one touchdown in each of the first 38 games he’s played in at Oregon, an FBS-level record. He’s only lost four games as Oregon’s starter, but two of those came against Arizona.

He set a Pac-12 record this season with 48 total touchdowns, including 36 via pass, 11 keepers and one TD reception.

He leads the nation with nine games of four or more touchdowns this season. His 36 touchdown passes are also an

Leave your mark

Oregon record.

Overall, Mariota has completed 229 of 334 passes for 3,470 yards and just two interceptions, and he’s the Ducks’ second-leading rusher with 636 yards.

“I think Mar cus has been one of the best quarterbacks in the country since he made his first start,” Rodriguez said.

Arizona has been one of the schools to get to him. The Wildcats have inter cepted him thr ee times and forced him to fumble three times over the past three seasons.

Earlier this season, Mariota passed for 276 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a 31-24 loss to Arizona at Autzen Stadium. The Wi l d c a t s ’ v i c t o r y h a d more to do with their ability to stop Oregon’s rush than anything, but Scooby Wright sacked Mariota and stripped him of the ball for a turnover with 2:11 to play. It would be Oregon’s final drive of the game.

“It was a good play by him,” Mariota said at the time. “They ran some coverage that we weren’t really expecting, and I was just trying to make the play. My instincts always lead the ball to go low, and he kind of just ripped it away.”

Arizona routed the Ducks 42-16 last year in Tucson. Mariota threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two interceptions.

His first came on Oregon’s first play from scrimmage, when Bralon Addison dropped a pass near the sideline. Arizona cornerback Shaquille Richardson

snared the carom and flipped it back to Wright as he was falling out of bounds. Ka’Deem Carey followed with a 6-yard touchdown run to kick start the upset. .

Afterward Mariota said: “It hurts. I haven’t been blown out like this in my life.”

In Mariota’s first year — and Chip Kelly’s last with the Ducks — Oregon blanked Arizona 490 at Autzen. Then a redshirt freshman, Mariota threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns, but he was intercepted once.

The Wildcats earned a spot in the league championship game last Friday when UCLA fell to Stanford and Arizona defeated rival Arizona State 42-35 in the Territorial Cup. The victory lifted the Wildcats four spots in the AP Top 25.

The Ducks closed out the r egular season on Saturday with a 47-19 victory over Oregon State in the Civil War rivalry game. Oregon, while at No. 3 in the AP rankings, was No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Should the Ducks defeat Arizona for the Pac-12 crown, they’ll assuredly be one of the four teams included in the first playoffs.

Mariota is going to tr eat it like any other game. “ We ’ r e j u s t g o i n g t o play our game. Arizona did a great job setting and dictating tempo in the last meeting,” he said. “If we go out and execute to the best of our abilities and execute the game plans that are put in front of us, we should hopefully be successful.”

Jordan Spieth wins Australian Open B4 Tuesday, December 2, 2014

SYDNEY (AP) — Jordan Spieth played the best round of an already impressive career with an 8-under 63 on Sunday to win the Australian Open by six strokes, making his first trip Down Under a successful one.

Spieth’s 72-hole total of 13-under 271 on the tough, windy Australian Golf Club made him the first American to win the Australian Open since Brad Faxon in 1993, when the 21-yearold Spieth was four months old.

“It’s the best round I have ever played, especially considering the conditions,” Spieth said. “It was just kind of one of those rounds when you’re in the zone and you’re not sure what you’re at. It’s nice that it came on a Sunday.”

Spieth birdied four holes on the front nine — three of them in a row — to lead by three strokes after nine holes, then made light of the challenging, windy conditions by adding four more on the back nine, never threatening to lose his lead.

“You don’t want any kind of crack in the door to be open and I felt like we kept it shut from the front nine

on,” Spieth said.

Spieth’s score was a record for the revamped Jack Nicklaus-designed layout which was being played as a par 71 for the first time. On Friday, Jamie Lovemark of the United States shot 65.

Adam Scott shot 71 and finished fifth, nine strokes behind. Defending champion Rory McIlroy, who shot 76 on Saturday, finished with a 72 and was 2-over, 15 strokes behind Spieth.

Three Australians who finished closest to Spieth earned trips to next July’s British Open. The Australian Open is the first qualifying tournament for the 2015 Open Championship and of fers three spots to the top finishers not already exempt.

Rod Pampling shot 68 to finish second, while former two-time Australian Open champion Greg Chalmers (71) and Brett Rumford (70) were third and fourth, respectively. All three will play at St. Andrews next year.

Gusty northeasterly breezes played havoc all week with scores, and only eight players finished under par.

Chalmers and Spieth were tied for the lead at 6under after four holes, but Spieth birdied the par -5 fifth where Chalmers made bogey for a two-shot swing.

The American also birdied the sixth and seventh holes, made a fine par save on the ninth, then did the same on the 10th from about five feet, pumping his fist as he edged closer to the title and the Stonehaven Cup trophy.

It was Spieth’s first win of 2014, and second of his pro career — he won on the John Deere Classic in a playoff on the PGA Tour in 2013. Although he hadn’t won this year, he was runner-up in the Masters and had eight top-10 finishes in 24 PGA tournaments.

He was reminded that last year’s Australian Open win by McIlroy was his only victory that year, and the Northern Irishman went on to win two majors and have an outstanding 2014.

“If I had the follow-up year that Rory had this year, I’d be pleased this time next year,” Spieth said.

“It’s been tough all weekend,” McIlroy said. “I was trying to get something going but with the pin positions and the wind, it was just very hard to get the ball close to the hole. It just

wasn’t meant to be this year.”

There were tributes around the golf course Saturday and Sunday for Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who died Thursday after being hit by a ball during a match at the nearby Sydney Cricket Ground.

The number 63 was used in many of them, as that was the number of runs Hughes had scored before he was fatally injured. Spieth provided the final reminder — and an unintentional tribute — by finishing with a round of 63.

Stocks slip after retail sales weaken, China slows NEW YORK (AP) — Mounting signs of weakness in the global economy and a poor start to the holiday shopping season knocked the stock market lower on Monday.

Earlier sales, a shift to online shopping and stagnant wages meant fewer Americans showed up to stores over the Thanksgiving weekend, the National Retail Federation said Sunday. The trade group estimated that total spending for the four days totaled $50.9 billion, down 11 percent from last year.

Major retailers slumped in response. Macy’s lost $1.72, or 3 percent, to $63.19 and Target fell $1.25, or 2 percent, to $72.75. Best Buy lost $2.15, or 6 percent, to $37.26.

market’s best month on average. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has ended December with a typical gain of 1.7 percent, according to the “Stock T rader’s Almanac.” But after a strong 11 percent run this year, the market looks relatively expensive.

The S&P 500 index trades at 17.6 times its profits over the past 12 months, well above the long-term average.

Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital, said more reports of slow economic growth around the world and falling oil prices could drive the market down in the coming weeks. But he thinks any setback will likely prove temporary. “Maybe

A survey by HSBC showed Chinese manufacturing activity lost steam in November, adding to signs of an economic slowdown. HSBC said its purchasing managers’ index edged down to 50 from 50.4 the previous month.

On the index’s 100-point scale, numbers below 50 indicate contraction.

China’s economic growth slowed to a five-year low of 7.3 percent in the latest quarter.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I’m the father of a beautiful, intelligent 9-year-old daughter I’ll call Stella. About three years ago, her mother married a man from an affluent family and moved three hours away. In order to be closer to Stella, I moved there as well.

I have been divorced for six years now, and my relationship with my daughter has not improved during that time. I spend every Thursday afternoon with her and every other weekend. She recently joined a basketball team, and I go to her practices and games.

My biggest concern — and pain — is, whenever Stella is with me she cries for her mother. It hurts, because I have tried hard to foster a relationship with my daughter and have been unable to. I took her to Disney World and she spent half the time crying. I ask myself if I am only hurting her or if I should continue to see her. Can you give me some advice?

DISAPPOINTED DADDY IN TEXAS

DEAR DISAPPOINTED DADDY: Have you talked to Stella’s mother and asked her what’s going on with your daughter? By age 9 she’s a little old for separation anxiety. Not knowing everyone involved, my first reaction is to wonder if there has been parental alienation happening.

My second is to suggest that you enlist the help of a licensed family therapist to find out why Stella acts this way every time she’s alone with you. If the problem is that she is immature, ride things out. If it’s something more,

COMICS

then it’s important you get to the bottom of it.

#####

DEAR ABBY: Since the moment my oldest son, “Ryan,” enlisted in the U.S. Army, our family has been concerned he would be deployed.

Although Ryan graduated from high school near the top of his class and had prepared for university, his plans were thwarted when deployment orders came to face off with ISIS in a combat engineer role. He leaves soon for the Middle East.

Abby, I need your insight in understanding why I am not falling apart. My other children are, my relatives are, and people I speak to are stunned that I’m holding it together. I try to explain that I support my son and must be strong for my family, but am I in denial?

Everyone else is falling apart while I, who adore him and can’t envision a life without him, seem to be holding steady.

What’s going on with me? Am I

a flawed mother? I feel like I’m disappointing others who would prefer to see a soldier’s mother grieve and agonize over her son’s departure, anticipating the worst. Your thoughts are most welcome.

BAFFLED IN THE SOUTH

Family Circus

DEAR BAFFLED: You are not “flawed.” Not everyone handles emotionally charged situations in the same way. While you may be numb with shock, you may also be calm, stoic and not show your feelings openly. It’s also possible that you may be “postponing” any negative emotions until if and when it’s necessary to experience them. My reaction is that no one should judge you — least of all yourself right now.

Pat, you and millions of my readers feel the same way! Unfortunately, that means millions of magazines, too! Here is a place to start: Call retirement homes, hospitals, schools (especially elementary, where they do a lot of arts and crafts) or prisons in your area. They might have a good use for them. Of course, they can be recycled, too, so don’t feel bad if you put them in the recycle bin!

There also is information on the website at: www.nationalgeographic.com where you can post notices about your collection and see others that are available. Any other hints, readers?

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: My refrigerator has a water filter.

It has to be replaced approximately every six months. After it is installed, I have to run 2 and 1/2 gallons of water through the line. Is this water safe to water plants with?

I hate just pouring it down the drain.

Shirley B., via email

Hi, Shirley, and thanks for asking a question a lot of people wonder about. Don’t waste water! Yes, you can use this water for plants, to rinse dishes or to wipe off countertops. There may be some little bits of gray stuff floating about, but don’t worry — these are just particles of the carbon from the filter that the water runs through.

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: Winter’s here, and with drier air comes static electricity. To control it, before getting dressed, just rub a little lotion into your skin. It doesn’t take much.

If you have dressed and the static cling attacks because you forgot lotion, head for the restroom. Get your hands barely damp, then rub over whatever is clinging.

Dear Heloise: I was going to toss out an old 18bottle wine rack. My husband took it to the garage and filled the rack with old golf shoes and tennis shoes. It’s nice to have all those shoes in a neat place and easy to locate. Guess wine racks can hold more than just wine!

Mary Anderson in Las Vegas

Dear Heloise: I use a large darning needle to weave in the ends of yarn when crocheting. It was tricky to get the yarn through the needle eye. I was looking at needle threaders for that purpose. I now open up a paper clip, and it works.

NASA launching new Orion spacecraft on test flight

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s quest to send astronauts out into the solar system begins this week with a two-lapsaround-Earth test flight.

The new Orion spacecraft is not going to Mars just yet; Thursday’s debut will be unmanned and last just 4 1⁄2 hours. But it will be the farthest a built-for -humans capsule has flown since the Apollo moon missions, shooting 3,600 miles out into space in order to gain enough momentum to re-enter the atmosphere at a scorching 20,000 mph.

The dry run, if all goes well, will end with a Pacific splashdown off Mexico’s Baja coast. Navy ships will recover the capsule, a la Apollo, for future use.

This initial Orion is rigged with 1,200 sensors to gauge its durability for the day when astronauts do climb aboard during the decade ahead. Advertised destinations include an asteroid to be corralled in lunar orbit for human exploration in the 2020s, followed by Mars in the 2030s.

“We’re approaching this as pioneers,” said William Hill of NASA’s exploration systems development office. “We’re going out to stay eventually. ... It’s many, many decades away, but that’s our intent.”

Lockheed Martin Corp. built the capsule and is staging the $370 million test flight for NASA. Orion is NASA’s first new spacecraft for humans in more than a generation, succeeding the now-retired space shuttles.

Unlike the capsules under development by two U.S. companies for space station crew transport, Orion is meant for the long haul, both in time and space; it would be supplemented with habitats for potential Mars trips.

“We need a spacecraft that’s going to be sturdy enough and robust enough” to carry astronauts well beyond low-Earth orbit for weeks and months at a time, said Lockheed Martin’s Bryan Austin, a former NASA shuttle flight director who will oversee Orion’s maiden voyage.

“That’s how Orion really separates itself from the commercial field. They’re there to

get you to station and back. Of course, we’re there to be hardened enough to sustain it for that long duration.”

For this orbital tryout, a Delta IV rocket will hoist Orion from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Liftoff is scheduled for 7:05 a.m. EST, just after sunrise. The rocket, with Orion and its launch escape tower at the tiptop, stretches 242 feet high.

Future Orion launches will use the mega rocket still under development by NASA, known as SLS or Space Launch System.

The first Orion-SLS launch is targeted for 2018, unmanned, followed by the first piloted mission in 2021.

No one at NASA is pleased with such a poky pace. At best, it will be seven years before astronauts fly Orion — anywhere.

By comparison, it took eight years from the time President John Kennedy announced his intentions of landing a man on the moon — before John Glenn had even rocketed into orbit — to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s lunar boot prints in 1969.

Given the present budget situation, “it is what it is,” said Kennedy Space Center’s director Robert Cabana, a former astronaut. And the presidential election ahead could bring further delays and uncertainties.

In any case, don’t confuse Orion with NASA’s old-time Apollo capsules.

For one, the 11-foot-tall Orion is designed to hold four astronauts, one more than Apollo. For relatively short outings of three weeks or so, Orion could accommodate six.

“People often ask us, ‘Hey, this thing looks like a capsule, it looks like Apollo,’ and people will confuse that with ‘it’s not new,’ “ said Scott Wilson, NASA’s Orion production operations manager. While physics drives the capsule’s outer bell shape, “everything else in the capsule is state-of-the-art,” he said.

“Everything, from the thrusters, from the environmental control systems, to the structure itself” is benefiting from all the advances in technology, Wilson said. With no one on board, this first Orion will have

AP Photo In this Nov. 12, file photo, after a 22-mile journey from the Launch Abort System Facility at the Kennedy Space Center, the Orion Spacecraft arrives at Space Launch Complex 37B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The test flight for Orion is scheduled to launch Thursday. hunks of aluminum in place of seats for ballast, simulators instead of cockpit displays and, obviously, no life-support.

The heat shield on Orion’s base, designed to protect the craft from the searing temperatures of atmospheric re-entry, is 16.5 feet across and is the biggest, most advanced of its kind ever made, according to NASA. On this flight, Orion will reach close to 4,000 degrees, not quite the 5,000 degrees that would be generated from a moon mission, but close enough for a shakedown.

That’s why Orion will aim for a 3,600mile-high peak altitude, more than 14 times higher than the International Space Station — to pick up enough speed to come back fast and hot.

Orion’s inaugural run. The space agency has teamed up with the nonprofit, educational Sesame Street Workshop to promote not just this mission, but the effort to send astronauts to Mars.

Comics, video and graphics are building up the countdown.

“The astronauts of the 2030s and beyond are today’s preschoolers,” NASA explains on its website.

There’s even a new countdown clock to herald the event.

Last week, Kennedy Space Center took down its familiar launch countdown clock dating back to the Apollo program; officials said it had become too expensive to fix and maintain. A new multimedia display went up in its place, just as long at 26 feet, but taller at 7 feet.
