JULIA BERGMAN RECORD STAFF WRITER

More than 16,000 New Mexico children are homeless over the course of a year. On Tuesday, the National Center on Family Homelessness released a report that ranked New Mexico 45 out of 50 states in terms of child homelessness.

Tackett said he has dealt with cases of students and their families living in the back seat of their car, and sleeping in a tent at Bottomless Lakes.

The report updated a prior NCFH study and looked at trends in child homelessness from 2006 to 2010.

Four factors determined how each state was ranked

in the report: the number of homeless children; the child’s well-being; the risk for child homelessness; and state policy and planning activities. Overall, the report found that children

Winter mute, Wendy advocacy director at Cuidando los Niños, said gathering accurate data on the number of homeless children and families in New Mexico is very difficult.

Lawyers argue pay-to-play

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — When Tony Garcia started selling Christmas trees, most people were sitting in front of a radio instead of a TV, Disney’s “Snow White” was playing on the silver screen, and the country was in the grips of the Great Depression.

Members of the Roswell High School Charlie’s Angels Dance Team made a donation of holiday gifts to the CASA Kids Store Friday afternoon.

The beautiful thing about rivalry games is that until the game is officially over, the effort of both teams won’t wane.

That was the case on Friday night when the Hagerman boys basketball team made the short trek to Dexter to take on the Demons.

Dexter was in control for much of the game, but had to weather a furious Bobcat rally in a 41-38 Demon win.

LOS LUNAS (AP) — Part of a whistleblower lawsuit over pay-toplay allegations involving New Mexico investments should be dismissed so state prosecutors can pursue their own case against alleged misconduct, Assistant Attorney General Seth Cohen argued during a hearing Friday.

The whistleblower’s attorney, Victor Marshall, argued that Attorney General Gary King and his staff have conflicts of interest and should not be responsible for prosecuting the case.

The two sides laid out some of their arguments before state District Judge John Pope during a hearing Friday in Los Lunas. The hearing will be continued, but Pope has yet to set a date.

Comet Lovejoy leaves the sun's corona, Thursday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A small comet survived what astronomers figured would be a sure death when it danced uncomfortably close to the broiling sun.

Comet Lovejoy, which was only discovered a couple of weeks ago, was supposed to melt Thursday night when it came close to where temperatures hit several million degrees. Astronomers had tracked 2,000 other sun-grazing comets that made the same suicidal trip.

None had ever survived.

But astronomers watching live with NASA telescopes first saw the sun’s corona wiggle as Lovejoy

went close to the sun. They were then shocked when a bright spot emerged on the sun’s other side.

Lovejoy lived.

“I was delighted when I saw it go into the sun and I was astounded when I saw something re-emerge,” said U.S. Navy solar researcher Karl Battams.

Lovejoy didn’t exactly come out of its hellish adventure unscathed.

Only 10 percent of the comet — which was probably millions of tons — survived the encounter, said W. Dean Pesnell, project scientist for NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which tracked Love-

joy’s death-defying plunge.

And the comet lost something pretty important: its tail.

“It looks like the tail broke off and is stuck” in the sun’s magnetic field, Pesnell said.

Comets circle the sun and sometimes get too close. Lovejoy came within 75,000 miles of the sun’s surface, Battams said. For a small object often described as a dirty snowball comprised of ice and dust, that brush with the sun should have been fatal.

Astronomers say it probably did

Gloyd Trubey says he is 83 going on 70. Several years ago, he had a stroke that left him with partial paralysis and unable to speak. However, one could hardly tell. He walks without trace of a limp and has a command of the language that a writer would find admirable. “I plan to live until I’m 100 years old.”

He credits his good health to the Lord and has a story to tell that should give those facing life’s challenges hope.

“I had a stroke, I was in a coma for four months and one week,” he said. While

still in a comatose state, T rubey says Jesus appeared to him. “He talked to me and asked me to walk with Him. Then he showed me all the people he had cured, and I knew I was going to be all right.”

When Trubey came out of his coma, he felt blessed.

“I couldn’t remember my mom or my dad or my children, but I felt on top of the world.”

To deal with the aphasia, he said, “I wrote all the

words down I wanted to remember. Anytime I wanted to talk to someone, I’d use the list, and they (the words) stuck in my brain.”

The stroke also affected the left side of his body.

“My left leg didn’t work at all.”

The first- and secondgrade classes of Robin Parker and Roxanne Rhea are working with the Salvation Army to provide goods for a homeless family that recently found a home. Each class has contributed goods, laundry soap and cleaning supplies. One class is helping to outfit the kitchen, while the other is collecting items for the bath.

Not everything is practical. The family has three sons, so toys are a must. “We have 12 boys

in this class. They know what kind of games they will like,” said Rhea.

The third, fifth and sixth grades have projects to help women and their children at the Pregnancy C r i s i s C e n t e r. S h a l a Bush’s third-graders have brought in toys for the babies. Melissa Proctor’s fifth-grade students are packaging up necessities like diapers. The sixthgrade class has sewn individual quilts. “They did this on their own time, after school,” said Wigley.

The fourth-grade class

created packages of toiletries for the homeless who are staying at Rivers Of Life Shelter.

The students have not forgotten about the elderly. The seventh-grade class has made gift packages for four different area nursing homes, containing everything from toys and Teddy bears to Christmas stockings.

Research firm boosts holiday outlook

NEW YORK (AP) — With about week until Christmas, optimism is rising that holiday sales will be better than originally forecast. Still, the season isn’t expected to end up being stellar.

ShopperTrak, a Chicagobased research fir m, announced Friday it’s upgrading its holiday sales forecast, a day after the nation’s largest retail group boosted its outlook.

ShopperT rak now believes that sales for the November and December period combined will rise

3.7 percent compared with the same period a year ago.

That’s up from the original 3 percent growth forecast issued in September when the economy’s recovery looked more uncertain.

The 3.7 percent forecast is still below the 4.1 percent growth registered in the year -ago period, according to ShopperTrak.

Bill Martin, founder of ShopperTrak, says a decent November and a steady pace in sales so far in December warranted the upgrade.

“We believe that the holi-

day season is deserving of more optimism,” he noted.

The National Retail Federation said Thursday it now expects holiday sales to rise 3.8 percent, up from the 2.8 percent forecast made in early October. The projected gain is still below the 5.2 percent pace seen during the holiday 2010 season, but it’s well above the 2.6 percent average increase over the past 10 years.

Still, any upgraded forecast is good news as stores look to rope in holiday shoppers.

3 dead, 2 wounded in California office shooting Roswell Daily Record

IRWINDALE, Calif. (AP) — Three people were killed and two more injured Friday in a California office complex shooting, police said.

The suspected gunman was among the dead and is believed to have self-inflicted wounds, Baldwin Park police Capt. Michael Taylor said.

“As far as we know there was one shooting suspect, period,” Taylor said.

The shooting occurred around 1:30 p.m. Friday at Southern California Edison offices inside a larger office complex in Irwindale.

Edison Inter national chair man and CEO Ted Craver confirmed that the victims and the suspected gunman were Souther n California Edison employees, four full-timers and one contract worker.

Craver said “this is one of the most horrible days in

our company’s history.”

One of the shooting victims was a woman and the other four were men.

Craver did not specify which were living or dead, and was careful not to provide identifying details for the victims, saying the company is still working to contact next of kin.

There was no immediate word on what prompted the gunfire.

Multiple media reports said at least two victims targeted by the gun-toting employee were believed to be company managers.

Police said they could not confirm those reports.

One of the dead was discovered inside the building during a sweep, and police were continuing their search for more victims, said Taylor.

Another victim died en route to a hospital. The two wounded have unspecified

injuries and their conditions are not known.

Taylor said police have not accounted for everyone in the building yet and were doing a sweep.

No gunfire was exchanged after of ficers arrived.

The building was quickly locked down and dozens of people were seen streaming out with their hands raised.

Alexander, a Gil spokesman for Southern California Edison, said the company has about 200 employees at the facility.

Alexander says the complex is a secured facility and employees need a security card to swipe at the doors before they can be admitted into the building.

Alexander called the incident “an enor mous tragedy.”

The utility’s office is in a

C in d y Gu t ier r ez , t h e controller for that company, said employees there

didn’t hear any shots fired and didn’t realize anything was amiss until building management announced over the intercom that everyone should stay indoors.

Two nearby schools were locked for about two hours after the shooting and no one on the campuses was hurt prior to release.

Irwindale is a small industrial city of about 1,400 residents in the San Gabriel Valley, 22 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.

It is home to the popular Irwindale Speedway auto racetrack. It is also home to the annual Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire as well as sprawling rock and gravel quarries.

Southern California Edison is one of its largest companies, employing 2,100 people.

Early rally fades; stock market down for the week (AP)— An early rally faded on the stock market Friday, leaving indexes down about 3 percent for the week as worries resurfaced about a breakup of the euro.

BlackBerry maker Research in Motion plunged after slashing its forecast for holiday sales.

The IPO of online game maker Zynga Inc. didn’t live up to its lofty expectations. The stock lost 5 percent on its first day of trading The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 2 points. It was up as many as 99 points in the morning after the Italian government won a confidence vote on austerity measures. That gain evaporated around midday after Fitch war ned that it might downgrade the debt of Italy, Spain and four other countries that use the euro.

Materials and industrial companies rose, signaling that traders expect the U.S. economic recovery to

remain on track. Utilities, health care and consumer staples companies lagged the market as traders sold stocks that are considered to be safer when the economy is weak.

The Dow Jones industrial average broke a threeday slump Thursday on news that claims for unemployment benefits plunged last week and measures of manufacturing in the Northeast improved dramatically.

The Dow lost 360 points over the first three days of the week as investors whether questioned Europe’s agreement to closer coordinate fiscal policy would be enough to save the euro from a catastrophic breakup.

Some analysts believe nervousness about Europe this fall and winter pushed stock prices too far. Investment adviser Uri Landesman, president of Platinum Partners, expects stocks to rise into next year because of the growing likelihood that eco-

nomic news and European headlines will remain positive.

“The odds are, the news is going to be better than the market is discounting,” Landesman said. He said the market is near the low end of its recent trading range, and a dose of positive news could set off a mini-rally. Any market moves next week could be sharp as trading volume thins out before the Christmas holiday, Landesman said.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 2.42 points at 11,866.93.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note plunged to 1.85 percent from 1.93 percent earlier Friday after the government said consumer prices were unchanged last month, suggesting that inflation remains low. Low inflation makes bonds more attractive because it doesn’t diminish the buying power of the fixed return a bond provides over time.

Seven of the 10 industry

groups in the S&P 500 index rose, with the only declines showing up in health care, consumer staples, and utilities. The biggest gains were in energy, materials and industrial companies.

Any death involving hazing is a third-degree felony in Florida, but no charges have been filed so far.

Witnesses told emergency dispatchers that Champion was vomiting before he was found unresponsive aboard a band bus outside an Orlando hotel after the school’s football team lost to rival Bethune-Cookman.

Immediately after the hazing, Champion complained of thirst and fatigue, then loss of vision and signs of shock, the report said.

The toxicology report was negative for drugs and alcohol and there was no injury to the internal organs.

Hazing cases in marching bands have cropped up over the years, particularly at historically black colleges, where a spot in the marching band is coveted and the bands are revered almost as much as the sports teams.

Research In Motion Ltd. plummeted 11 percent after the company said late Thursday that new phones seen as critical to its future will be delayed until late next year. RIM also is taking a big loss on unsold tablet computers and predicted that its BlackBerry sales will fall sharply during the holiday sales season.

Zynga, which makes “Farmville” and other popular games, fell 5 percent to $9.50 in its first day of trading on the Nasdaq.

The initial public offering was priced late Thursday at $10 per share, raising $1 billion. The San Francisco company can boast the biggest Internet IPO since Google Inc. first

Legalize marijuana and lower social costs A4 Saturday, December 17, 2011

Legalize marijuana.

There! I said it! In public! Conservative me!

My rationale is simple, though imprecise.

The social costs of legal marijuana, however high, would be less than the social costs of illegal marijuana. I have no fancy studies to prove the assertion. But if you look around, especially if you put Mexico in the equation, the conclusion becomes obvious.

The argument isn’t that the “war on drugs has failed.” I accept the logic, offered me 10 years ago by the Drug Enforcement Administration, that “war” is the wrong metaphor. A “war” means maximum resources are devoted to winning. We have never had a real war on drugs.

Johnson, who ran a middling state in the United States. This is someone who ran a big country and did well.

Cardoso chairs a group of statesmen and intellectuals called the Global Commission on Drug Policy. One commissioner visits New Mexico occasionally. That’s Richard Branson, primary Spaceport tenant through his Virgin Galactic company.

A recent insight from Cardoso via O’Grady is totally obvious. Yet, like much of the obvious, this gets little attention. With marijuana illegal, consumers must deal with criminals. This sets aside the

other obvious item that consumers are, too, breaking the law and are criminals in that sense.

But back in the days of Jimmy Carter, people including me who ignored the 55 mph speed limit were criminals.

The broader point, though, is that society makes a huge mistake to tolerate a situation bringing otherwise regular people into contact with criminal elements.

Sometimes these otherwise regular people get caught. The enduring hassle from the arrest, much less a conviction, is part of the social cost of existing laws.

Note that while the claim of our jails being full of people doing time for low-level drug convictions is true, the claim conveniently overlooks that a large portion of those folks pleaded down from higher charges.

In my brief, long ago marijuana flirtation, my supplier was a Washington-based federal prosecutor. This nicely defines the

Roswell Daily Record

potential for societal rot.

If marijuana was legalized, an absolutely necessary parallel would be a continuing campaign against marijuana use, taking cues from successful DWI campaigns. The campaign would say, this is legal now, but handle with care.

One element of implementing legalization would be what I remember Oklahoma did in 1959, when it became the next to last state to legalize liquor sales after prohibition. (Mississippi, always the trend setter, was last in 1966.) Oklahoma said anyone arrested for selling liquor during the implementation period was disqualified from legally selling liquor. Bootleggers, who wanted into the legal liquor sales business, got the message.

The drug war of Mexican President Felipe Calderon is absolutely necessary. Today, reports The Economist, killings are down in

Ciudad Juárez and up in the state of Nuevo León. Even just moving the bad guys around disrupts business, and that’s good.

Here are the two salient facts about the supply side of the marijuana business. “Cannabis also accounts for almost half the cartels’ revenues, according to an estimate from the Mexican attorney general’s office,” says a May 19, 2010, National Public Radio story. According to “Mexican Drug War” on Wikipedia, “wholesale earnings from illicit drug sales range from $13.6 billion to $48.4 billion annually.”

The futility of American drug policy is long since demonstrated.

Continuing our present path is high order hypocrisy.

Former President Cardoso is right. So, strangely enough, is Gary Johnson.

While Suncor’s initial argument for hanging tough was the natural gas produced was solely for domestic use in Syria, its buy-in was needed for true sanction pain to be felt.

And now it has, all which puts Suncor on the right side of the equation when it comes to the greater good.

The Canadian firm’s experience underlines the difficulty in dealing with that troubled region, which is always a mug’s game for the West.

Putting distance between them and us is rarely wrong.

Last weekend, as well, U.S. Republican House Leader John Boehner gave Canada’s energy sector a boost when he pushed the need for the Obama administration to buy into the Keystone XL pipeline which will bring “ethical oil” from Canada’s oil sands — as opposed to the “conflict oil” of the Saudi Arabias of the world — for refining in Texas.

In his weekly television address, Boehner refuted the president’s views, criticizing Obama for delaying approval of Keystone until after the 2012 election when it would not only create thousands of jobs, but also reduce American dependency on foreign oil.

With unemployment in the U.S. at 8.6 percent, job creation could very well decide victory in the presidential election, and the Republicans are clearly bent on making Keystone an election issue.

Vladimir Putin

Under the chaotic but liberating rule of Boris Yeltsin, the oligarchs made hay. Under Vladimir Putin, a former KGB official, it has been the bureaucrats’ turn to plunder the state. Executive power prevails. Parliament is supine, the judiciary is a political tool and the media is cowed. Business depends on the Kremlin’s favor and the regions have been brought to heel. After his erratic predecessor, Putin offered stability founded on authoritarian rule. His personal popularity and high oil and gas prices left that contract intact for over a decade.

Last weekend, however, it was fatally undermined by demonstrations across the country. Unchallenged rule had made Putin arrogant. First, he announced in September that an agreement for him to return to the presidency next year, succeeding his puppet, Dmitry Medvedev, had been reached long ago. Second, last week’s parliamentary elections were rigged in favor of the prime minister’s rubber-stamp creation, United Russia.

That assumption of impunity led to last weekend’s nationwide protests, the biggest of which, in Moscow, attracted around 50,000 people. Putin’s popularity is falling and, in the current global economic climate, the high petroleum prices on which his corrupt polity relies look under threat.

The tsar is not about to fall, but his legitimacy has been dented — not least by the Internet. Further demonstrations have been called for Christmas Eve and there is talk of boycotting the presidential election next March. Putin’s reaction has been to blame foreign powers. Tighter political control and increased public spending may follow. But to win back opponents he must do better than that. Failure to liberalize what has been called his “soft Bonapartism” will leave Russia even more sullen — and less stable. Last weekend marked the end of an era.

What is the mission of higher education?

PAT LEONARD AND PAUL GESSING GUEST COLUMNISTS

Florida Gov. Rick Scott recently made headlines around the country when he argued that institutes of higher education in his state of Florida should prioritize funding for the study of science and technology.

Said Scott, “If I’m going to take money from a citizen to put into education then I’m going to take money to create jobs ... so I want the money to go to a degree where people can get jobs in this state. Is it a vital interest of the state to

have more anthropologists? I don’t think so.”

One may agree or disagree with Scott’s assessment, but his remarks do point to a fundamental issue in higher education, specifically “What should the mission of institutes of higher education be?”

In New Mexico, institutes of higher education received more than $2 billion in funding from the state this year.

While that funding level has been reduced somewhat in the current economic downturn, it remains a significant investment of resources. But to what end?

New Mexico has six public

Question: I’ve heard that women with denser breast tissue have a higher risk of certain breast cancers. I am a 63-year-old, postmenopausal woman, and my doctor has told me that I have very dense breasts. I get regular mammograms, but I’m still worried that I have a high risk for cancer. Should I be worried?

Answer: It’s true that one of the strongest known risk factors for breast cancer is high breast density. The reason for this is poorly understood, but we’ll walk you through the current thinking on the matter.

First, let’s talk about what tissue density means when it comes to the breasts. A woman with dense breast tissue has relatively little fat in the breast and more connective and glandular tissue, as seen on a mammogram.

Research has indeed found that

universities which offer graduate degrees (UNM, NMSU, ENMU, WNMU, New Mexico Tech and Highlands). This is an unusually-high number.

Arizona, for example, serves more than four times as many postsecondary students with fewer state-supported institutions. In order to gain a better understanding of the missions of New Mexico’s various institutes of higher education, the Rio Grande Foundation undertook an effort to study how the boards of regents — the people charged with the duty of guiding the schools — viewed their institutions’ mission statements.

A brief, 10-item survey was sent via email to regents at each of the schools. Unfortunately, in the end, only eight useable responses were received, a paltry response rate of 26.7 percent. This does not give us enough information to come to many conclusions, however, the general apathy in terms of responses suggests that the public universities’ mission statements may not be the institutional compasses they are meant to be.

Mission statements should represent a starting point for

25 YEARS AGO

higher breast density in postmenopausal women increases the risk of specific types of breast cancer. This includes some types that have a relatively poor outlook.

In one study, women with 50 percent or higher breast density on a mammogram were three times more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer over a 15year period than women with less than 10 percent breast density.

The link between breast density and breast cancer was stronger for cancer confined to the ducts or lobules of the See HARVARD, Page A5

What to do if a tree trunk and limbs turn blackish

Q. I have a Washington hawthorn tree, seventeen years old, that I presume to be diseased. The bark of the limbs and some of the trunk have tur ned blackish. Otherwise it seems okay and turned a beautiful color this fall. I live in northeast Albuquer que. Is ther e anything I could, or should, do to help the situation?

— Name withheld

A. There are several possible causes for the blackening of the bark on your tree. The most likely is the development of sooty mold. Sooty mold is a rather benign fungus that grows on bark and leaves

as a result of a substance (honey dew) excreted by some insects. A heavy coating of sooty mold may reduce photosynthesis.

The insects ar e a mor e significant problem if they are the cause of the sooty mold and should be treated. As the insects feed on the sap from the tree, they excrete a syrup-like substance. This is what feeds the gr owth of the sooty mold. The insects responsi b l e a r e m o s t l ik el y aphids or scale insects.

Aphids are fairly easy to manage by washing them from the leaves and twigs i n t h e su m me r wi th strong streams of water.

They will return, but by

frequently washing them away without use of pesticides you reduce the damage they do and encoura ge th e developm en t o f b en efi ci al in s ect s th at feed on the aphids. Scale insects are more difficult to manage. Insecticides or dormant/horticultural oil sprays may help mana ge s cal e in sec ts. Th e scale insects will probably be found on the twigs in

all budgetary discussions. All of New Mexico’s senior public institutions prominently proclaim their mission statements. A mission statement should publicly affirm the institution’s statutory mandate in terms of its primary purposes, who will be served and how. Each mission statement has been adopted by that institution’s board of regents.

If policymakers don’t take their mission statements seriously, how do we know if these institutes are succeeding or failing? How do they know where limited resources should be allocated? Are athletics a top funding priority? How important is research? Are all majors created equal or should greater emphasis be placed on those majors and areas of study that have the greatest potential for employment?

These are all worthy questions and disagreement is possible, but the institutional mission statements must be the starting point for all budgetary and resource allocation discussions.

With so many institutes of higher education enshrined in New Mexico’s Constitution, it would be worthwhile for policymakers to consider whether each institute needs to be everything to every-

one or whether greater specialization might be in order. Graduates of New Mexico Tech, for example, do better than graduates of other schools throughout the state. Might it be a model for other schools?

And, while Gov. Scott’s statement that taxpayer resources should be allocated based on need and potential returns may be unpopular with those in the humanities, he does have a valid point.

Ultimately, if taxpayer dollars are going to fund higher education, shouldn’t those very same taxpayers receive some assurance that those resources are giving them the maximum return on their investment?

As funds grow more limited over time, New Mexico’s institutes of higher education must respond to market forces and must be incentivized to do so. Careful evaluation of and adherence to their mission statements should be a minimum starting point.

breast than for invasive tumors. It was also stronger for more aggressive breast cancers. These include larger tumors, high-grade tumors, which are more likely to grow and spread than low-grade tumors, and estrogen receptor (ER) negative tumors. The latter tend to recur sooner and be more difficult to treat than ER-positive tumors.

Researchers have suggested that the link between breast density and more aggressive tumors may have something to do with the fact that it’s harder to spot cancers in dense breasts on a mammogram. In other words, denser breast tissue may mask or hide aggressive tumors until they’re larger and more dangerous.

However, other studies have shown that the link between breast density and breast cancer risk is strong even without taking this masking ef fect into account.

Like your gender, your race, your family history and your genes, breast density is pretty much out of your control.

The good news is that as women age, their breasts tend to become fattier and less dense. Still, some women like you continue to have dense breast tissue well into their postmenopausal years.

In cases like yours, mammograms are less sensitive than they are for women with fattier breasts. This means you’re more likely to be called back for additional images or to undergo a breast biopsy. Your radiologist may also want to take more images using a different method.

Hormone therapy increases breast density, so if you’re considering it for severe menopausal symptoms, you may want to explore other options.

If your overall risk for breast cancer is high, you may want to ask your doctor about prevention with tamoxifen, an estrogen-blocking drug that can reduce breast density and lower the risk of breast cancer. A 2008 study showed that women whose breast density

decreased by 10 percent or more within the first year or so on tamoxifen were 63 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than women taking a placebo.

Unfortunately, though, tamoxifen has side effects, some of which can be serious.

Mammography has been the main focus of breast cancer detection. But almost half of breast cancers in women ages 50 to 69 are first found by the women themselves or their clinicians.

So be familiar with the architecture of your breasts, and bring any worrisome changes to your doctor’s attention as soon as possible.

Breast density is an important risk factor for breast cancer, but it’s not the only one. You and your doctor should know your risk profile and plan screenings and office visits accordingly. And, unlike breast density, there are factors within your control that can help reduce your breast cancer risk.

First, keep your weight under control and within a healthy range. Being overweight or obese has been linked to breast cancer risk, especially for women after menopause. But the relationship is complicated. It may be that risk is increased in women who gain weight in adulthood but not in those who’ve been overweight since childhood.

Controlling your alcohol intake can also help. Women who use alcohol have an increased risk of breast cancer, compared with women who don’t drink. And remember: The risk rises with the number of drinks consumed, so practice moderation.

Another lifestyle factor that’s been linked to protection is exercise. Instead of sitting back and worrying about the implications of dense breasts, plan to eat right, drink sparingly (if at all), and get at least a half-hour of moderate exercise a day. You can’t change your genes, but you may be able to walk away from risk.

Helpful holiday tips for seniors to enjoy the season The holidays are a wonderful time of year, wherefamilies and friends gather to share the old times and the new. Yet for seniors, the joy of the gatherings and the season in general can be a mixed blessing as eager anticipation can give way to additional stress.

So this year, the staff at Peachtree Village have come up with some helpful holiday tips to make the season a joyous one for everyone.

“Most of the seniors I work with say the best gift of all is spending time with family” said Fredda Sanders, marketing director for Peachtree.

Unhurried, uncomplicated family time will mean the most to them and will create memories to last all year long. Give the best

gift of all – your time.

10 tips to help seniors and you make the most of the holiday season · Share a holiday tradition: Have a senior share something special during the holiday season with you that comes from their own holiday memories. Be it a favorite cookie, decorations, arranging a centerpiece or a favorite movie or song that you can engage them with. · A quiet spot: Many seniors live in environments that are relatively quiet, with a limited amount of activity in a day. Think about how much stimulation may be in your environment and limit the amount of activities or time seniors are involved in them. Loud family gath-

erings can be a bit much, so a quiet place to sit down may be a good refuge. · Think ahead: before an event begins, put yourself in your senior’s shoes. Do you have difficulty walking? Do you have trouble remembering names? Plan ahead to make adjustments that can rectify the situation to make it more amenable. It can be as simple as moving some fur niture and making nametags. · Recognize their limitations: Encourage older family members to take it easy and let you pamper them for a change, but let them help with smaller, less complicated tasks if they want to participate. · Listen to their stories: Many older relatives live in their memories. Encourage

them to talk about holidays gone by. If they keep albums, ask to see the pictures. They may have some wonderful traditions from their childhood that you can incorporate into your own family’s plans. · Cook a favorite meal together: Prepare a dish the senior loved as a child or once prepared as a holiday tradition. Involving the senior in the process, instead of making it for them, allows the senior to feel helpful and needed. · Set up a Christmas tree or Menorah: Decorations add so much to the holiday season. Help your loved one feel at home during the holidays by setting up their Christmas tree or Menorah with them. Again, having them help you put ornaments on the tree or plugging in the lights can

make the senior feel helpful and involved. · T ake a ride around town: many seniors don’t drive as much as they once did, but they’d love to see the holiday decorations put up by the retail stores and over -zealous neighbors. · Make it easy to get around: If a senior is coming for a visit, remove slippery throw rugs and other items that could present barriers to a senior who has difficulty walking or balance problems. · Stay in touch: For seniors it’s so important to let them know you are thinking of them during the holidays, especially to those who are alone.

Seniors today are of the generation that loves the simple things: a note in the mail, or a phone call.

Invite them for a cup of coffee; it doesn’t have to be much; it’s the thought that counts.

Tackett and Mike Jurecek, attendance case manager for RISD, attribute the increase in students to two factors. The homeless services, provided through RISD, have become more publicized, making parents more aware of them. In turn, they’ve become more apt to ask for help. The current economic situation causing many parents to lose their jobs has also created a greater need for the program’s services.

Tackett said he has dealt with cases of students and their families living in the back seat of their car, and sleeping in a tent at Bottomless Lakes. One of the biggest challenges in Roswell is trying to find af fordable housing for these people, according to Jurecek.

“Our only resource is through the Region VI Housing Authority, and of course their resources are also limited,” he said.

entitled to services throughout year. One of these major services is allowing the student, if the parent so chooses, to continue to attend the school they started out in. If the child moves around a lot, due to family situations, they may be living outside of a particular school’s zone. ”Each time a child changes schools, it puts them back anywhere from 2 to 6 months, depending on the child’s development,” Jurecek said.

“Our numbers have increased but I think part of that increase in numbers is doing a better job of identifying and having a greater concentrated effort on working with homeless kids. Whereas in the past when we would help those students in our schools by the teachers or principals, now we’re trying to get (teachers or principals) to refer them to us. That way we’ve got that record of it, which we didn’t have before,” Tackett said.

The battle over who can take charge of legal efforts to recover money for New Mexico for some investment deals involving the State Investment Council and the Educational Retirement Board has been brewing for months.

The dispute stems from a lawsuit filed by Frank Foy, a former chief investment officer of the state’s educational pension fund.

The suit seeks damages from bad investments made by the Educational Retirement Board and claims politics influenced investments made by both the board and the investment council.

Cohen called the whistleblower lawsuit a “train wreck,” saying it’s stalled and could take years to reach adjudication. He said the state is trying to dismiss only the claims related to the deals made by the State Investment Council so it can move forward with its

ment.

Any deal would also require House passage before it could reach Obama’s desk.

A senior administration official said on condition of anonymity that the president would sign the measure but almost certainly refuse to grant a permit for the oil pipeline project. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the deal.

Racing to adjourn for the year, lawmakers moved quickly to clear separate legislation avoiding a partial government shutdown threatened for midnight.

There was no immediate response to the compromise from the White House, which a few hours earlier had backed away from Obama’s threat to veto any bill that linked the payroll tax cut extension with a Republican demand for a speedy decision on the 1,700-mile Keystone XL oil pipeline proposed from Canada to Texas.

Republican senators leaving a closed-door meeting put the price tag of the two-month package at between $30 billion and $40 billion said the cost

vided entertainment and a chance for members of the community to bring toys and monetary donations for the club. The dancing workshop cost $8, and it cost $5 to enter the dance contest. There was also an open donation to get into the event.

Soza said the money would be used to buy additional toys for the children at the club.

own case.

“This is an exercise of the state’s prosecutorial discretion,” Cohen said.

“We are bringing an aggressive lawsuit. ... We want to free up any impediments.”

Marshall disputed claims that the case is frozen, arguing that the state can’t expect to get any further along due to court backlogs and scheduling delays. He added that dismissing part of the case would create a “litigation fiasco” that would not help New Mexico get any closer to recouping damages caused by any of the investments that were alleged to be politically tainted.

Marshall is hoping the judge will keep the case intact and enforce a subpoena to have King testify about his connections to some of the defendants.

“There can never be good cause for the state or any client to be represented by a lawyer who has conflicts,” he said after the hearing.

Claims of conflict first would be covered through a fee on mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The legislation would also provide a 60-day reprieve from a scheduled 27 percent cut in the fees paid to doctors who treat Medicare patients.

Several officials said it would require a decision within 60 days on the pipeline, with the president required to authorize construction unless he determined that would not be in the national interest.

Obama recently announced he was postponing a decision until after the 2012 elections on the much-studied proposal.

Environmentalists oppose the project, but several unions support it, putting the president in the uncomfortable position of having to choose between customary political allies.

Senators in both parties hastened to claim credit.

Officials said that in private talks, the two sides had hoped to reach agreement on the full one-year extension of payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits that Obama had made the centerpiece of the jobs program he submitted to Congress last fall.

Those efforts failed when the two sides could not agree on enough offsetting Space Botz, a dance group that Soza teaches, was one of the performers at the event. Group member Karissa Mesquita, 10, said she wanted to dance for the club because “It’s not happy on Christmas Day if you wake up without a present, so everyone should have a present.”

Anyka Gamboa, 8, another group member, said she wanted the event to collect 2,000 toys, and give each kid three presents. “We’re giving out toys to kids who don’t get

surfaced earlier this year, and King was forced to call a press conference in Albuquerque to defend himself. He said at the time that he would not back down from pursing public corruption cases involving members of his own political party or high-ranking state officials.

If the case is dismissed, Marshall said it will send the message that no one can ever ask questions of the state attorney general or subpoena politically connected witnesses.

Marshall also criticized the attor ney general’s office for excluding some of the large financial firms that were named in the whistleblower lawsuit from the suit filed in May on behalf of the State Investment Council.

Cohen argued the state’s efforts to go after misconduct are only beginning.

“The SIC case is going to grow and we’re likely to add new defendants,” he told the court. cuts to make sure the deficit wouldn’t rise.

“We’ll be back discussing the same issues in a couple of months, but from our point of view, we think the keystone pipeline is a very important job-creating measure in the private sector that doesn’t cost the government a penny,” said Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader.

There was no immediate reaction from House Speaker John Boehner.

Neither he nor his aides participated in the negotiations, although McConnell said he was optimistic about the measure’s chances for final approval.

Hours earlier, McConnell challenged Obama to give ground.

“Let’s not just pass a bill that helps people on the benefits side, let’s also include something that actually helps the private sector create the jobs Americans need for the long term,” he said.

In a political jab, he added, “Here’s an opportunity for the president to say he’s not going to let a few radical environmentalists stand in the way of a project that would create thousands of jobs and make America more secure at the same time.” any on Christmas morning,” Raylynn Vuechner, 8, another dancer, said.

“We want to show people, and the students and the kids that when it comes to Christmas time, you should be very appreciative of what you have.

We are teaching them the importance of giving back,” Soza said.

The toys will be given to the children on Dec. 22 at the Roswell Boys & Girls Club’s annual Christmas party. j.bergman@rdrnews.com

9 states win early education grant Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nine states won a collective $500 million Friday from the federal government to help make pre-K and other early learning programs more accessible and better capable of narrowing the achievement gap between those who start kindergarten without any formal schooling and those who do.

California, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Washington state were announced as winners at the White House.

“Nothing is more important than getting our babies off to a good start,” said Education Secretary Arne Duncan.

The money to aid the nation’s youngest learners is part of the administration’s cornerstone education initiative — the “Race to the Top” grant competition. It has states competing for federal dollars to create programs intended to make schools more effective in exchange for education initiatives it favors. Last year, it handed out $4 billion in similar grants focused on K-12 education.

The goal of this competition is to get more children from birth to age 5 ready for kindergarten. Thirty-five states along with the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico applied for the chance to win between about $50 million to $100 million apiece in prize money.

The winnings are to help build statewide systems that affect all early learning programs, including child care, Head Start centers and public or private preschools.

Billions are spent annually in America on early education programs, but the quality and availability of those programs varies greatly. Roughly half of all 3-year-olds and about a quarter of 4-year-olds do not attend preschool, said Steve Barnett, director of the National Institute for Early Education Research at Rutgers University.

Kids who attend quality early education programs have been shown to do better in school, be less likely to spend time in prison later and to make more money as adults. But children from low-income families who start kindergarten without any schooling are estimated to start school 18 months behind their peers, a gap that is extremely difficult to overcome.

Sharon Lynn Kagan, co-director of the National Center for Children and Families at Columbia University, said during a conference call with reporters that the contest has helped jumpstart what she describes as one of the most exciting times in early education in 40 years.

It’s like “an alarm has gone off and finally everyone is waking up to what the research is showing for a very, very long time about the importance of intervening with very high quality programs for all young children,” she said.

To win, states were asked to demonstrate a commitment to making such programs more accessible, coordinated and more effective. Providing professional development for teachers and creating ways to assess the education level of kids entering kindergarten were among the areas states were asked to focus on in their applications.

Congress restricts aid to Egypt and Pakistan

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress would impose restrictions on aid to Egypt, Pakistan and the Palestinian Authority in a $53.3 billion bill that avoids deep cuts in foreign assistance and State Department funding that Republicans had pursued this year.

The legislation is part of a sweeping, $1 trillion-plus yearend spending package that provides money for 10 Cabinet agencies through next September. The House was expected to pass the measure on Friday and the Senate sometime this weekend.

Foreign aid amounts to just 1 percent of the federal budget, but lawmakers intent on cutting the deficit, especially conservative tea party Republicans, have clamored for significant reductions in spending overseas. Democrats and the State Department, led by Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, successfully pressed to spare the accounts.

The legislation would provide $53.3 billion for foreign assistance and the State Department — $42.1 billion for the base budget and $11.2 billion for the Overseas Contingency Operations account. That account pays for the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and other expenses. Lawmakers shifted costs for security and economic assistance, funds for the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development into the account, increasing the amount from $7.6 billion to $11.2 billion Still, the base budget is some $6 billion less than the current level and $8.7 billion below what President Barack Obama sought for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1. The bill does provide the full funds of $3.1 billion in security assistance for ally Israel.

Reflecting concerns about uncertainty within the Egyptian government, the bill would restrict $1.3 billion in security assistance to Cairo and $250 million in economic assistance until the secretary of state certifies to Congress that Egypt is abiding by a 1979 peace treaty with Israel, military rulers are supporting the transition to civilian government with free and fair elections and “implementing policies to protect freedom of expression, association and religion and due process of law.”

The military took over in Egypt after longtime President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in a popular revolt in February.

On Friday, Egypt held its second round of parliamentary elections.

The legislation restricts aid to Pakistan until the secretary can certify that Islamabad is cooperating on counterterrorism, including taking steps to prevent terrorist groups such as the Haqqani network from operating in the country. The amount was unspecified in the legislation as Congress gave the Obama administration flexibility to figure out the funds.

A separate defense bill would freeze $700 million for Pakistan until the defense secretary provides Congress a report on how Islamabad is countering the threat of improvised explosive devices.

The bill continues the same restrictions on aid to the Palestinian Authority, requiring the secretary to certify that it is committed to a peaceful co-existence with Israel and is taking appropriate steps to combat terrorism. Economic assistance for the Palestinians is in jeopardy if they pursue statehood recognition in the United Nations over the objections of the United States and Israel, which wants to resume negotiation talks.

The amount was not spelled out, again leaving it to the administration to sort out.

The restrictions carry a waiver for national security.

In a victory for the Democrats and the administration, the bill dropped a House-backed ban on federal money for international family planning groups that either offer abortions or provide abortion information, counseling or referrals.

The policy has bounced in and out of law for the past quarter century since Republican President Ronald Reagan first adopted it 1984. Democrat Bill Clinton ended the ban in 1993, but Republican George W. Bush re-instituted it in 2001 as one of his first acts in office. Within days of his inauguration, Obama reversed the policy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Try to break free from the traditional roles you often lock yourself into.

Perhaps you long to approach a situation differently. Why not? You will never know what could happen until you take another path. Good vibes come from someone at a distance. Tonight: Let your spirit soar. Great music counts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Listen to the drum beats, and you will be OK. Sometimes a partner or close friend might hesitate. Let it be known that you do want to know how he or she feels and where he or she is coming from. You could see a fast change of attitude.

Tonight: Follow another’s lead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to defer to a partner or friend one more time. Though there could be a clash between you and this person, is it all that important? Only you can answer that question. Accept another person’s very caring gift or thought as it is meant.

Tonight: Just not alone.

BORN TODAY Conductor Arthur Fiedler (1894), political commentator Chris Matthews (1945), actor Bill Pullman (1953)

Film details Jerry Lewis’ ‘Method to the Madness’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gregg Barson is a documentarian, not a comedian. But when Jerry Lewis let him know that more than a dozen people were waiting in line to tell his story, Barson of fered a persuasive punch line.

“Yeah, but they’re not me,” was Barson’s comeback, followed by a momentary quiver of fear that he’d gone too far with the veteran star.

“He said, ‘I like that.

You know why? Because you remind me of me,”’ Barson recalled. That chutzpah-fueled exchange led to “Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis,” debuting 8 p.m. EST Saturday on Encore. Other airings include 11:30 a.m.

EST Sunday and 8 p.m.

EST Tuesday.

The film focuses on what makes the 85-year-old — and still working — Lewis tick as a performer and filmmaker. Those looking for dish on his family life or breakup with stage and screen partner Dean Martin or abrupt departure from the Muscular Dystrophy Association telethon he’d nurtured for nearly five decades won’t find it here.

Barson, who describes himself as being “in heaven” whenever he caught a Lewis film on TV as a

youngster, said his intent was to focus on Lewis’ career from vaudeville on and his contributions to comedy and movies.

Younger people without exposure to Lewis’ work likely consider him as “that

telethon guy. Hopefully, the film will open their eyes as opposed to thinking he did one thing one day a year,” Barson said.

During more than three years of filming, Barson had near-complete access

as he followed Lewis from his yacht in San Diego to his home in Las Vegas to concert dates and to the Cannes Film Festival in France, the country that idolizes Lewis as a cinematic genius.

He was good company, Barson said. “He’s always up, funny and playful. ...

The sparkle, he didn’t put in on for the camera. He’s being real.”

“Method to the Madness,” which opens with

Jerry Seinfeld, Eddie Murphy and other comedians anointing Lewis as comedy royalty, is an unabashed valentine. It is also a reminder that Lewis inspired rock-star levels of fan devotion, and of how impressively “The Bellboy” (1960) and many other films starring and written and directed by Lewis ruled the box office.

Barson, who made the well-received Phyllis Diller documentary “Goodnight, We Love You,” sees parallels between Diller and Lewis, including their work ethic.

“She was 84 when she retired, and he’s 85 and still working. They never rest on their laurels,” Barson said. “They still care.

They’re not phoning it in.”

And that, he said, is part of Lewis’ method: Every aspect of his performance is planned.

“As Eddie Murphy says (in the film), slapstick looks simple but the reason it’s been around so long is how well thought out it is,” Barson said.

Lewis is pleased with the film. And his health is good, according to the filmmaker, who spills one appropriately quirky personal secret on his subject: “He drinks a lot of orange soda. Maybe that’s the fountain of youth.”

Dexter holds off Hagerman, 41-38 Section

Roswell Daily Record

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

The beautiful thing about rivalry games is that until the game is officially over, the ef fort of both teams won’t wane.

That was the case on Friday night when the Hagerman boys basketball team made the short trek to Dexter to take on the

Demons.

Dexter was in control for much of the game, but had to weather a furious Bobcat rally in a 41-38 Demon win.

At the beginning of the game, neither team could separate itself and after a bucket by Hagerman’s Jose Bejarano, the score was tied at six with 5:05 left in the quarter.

The Bobcats wouldn’t score the rest of the quarter.

After Bejarano’s basket, Dexter’s Kevin Bonner hit a 3 and assisted on a bucket

by Kyle Bonner, giving the Demons an 11-6 lead.

Dexter scored the next six points, before the Bobcats’ Jose Olivas scored to end the Hagerman scoring drought.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS TEMPLE’S PIERCE FOCUSED ON NM BOWL

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Bernard Pierce can’t say whether Saturday’s New Mexico Bowl against Wyoming will be his final college game before he makes a bid for the NFL. Either way, Temple’s junior running back is determined to make the game a special one.

“It’s not about me,” said Pierce, who totaled 1,381 yards and a school-record 25 touchdowns this season. “It’s about the team. I don’t have to impress anybody. A win is a win no matter how many points or how you win. It’s just a win.”

Pierce is part of a backfield tandem with Matt Brown that finished seventh in the country in rushing for Temple (8-4).

That’s what Wyoming (84) is determined to stop, said Cowboys coach Dave Christensen.

“They want to establish the run first,” he said. “I understand that. They have two backs who are very good, then they want to work in the play action.”

Although Pierce and Brown gain their yards differently, the Owls approach the offense the same way no matter who’s carrying the ball.

“It doesn’t matter to us,” said first-year Temple coach Steve Addazio. “We run the same plays. They’re different styles of back. You run power with both backs, but it’s a different deal. One is a low, slicing runner. The other is little bit bigger, more powerful, but they’re both good.”

Still, this isn’t quite the way Addazio envisioned the offense working as he took his first head coaching job.

“What we always wanted to be was a power run team with a spread option component and, of course, a spread vertical pass game that we’re trying to head to,” he said. “We’re not here yet. The passing game part of it is not there yet. Part of it is that is because we’ve been able to dominate in the run game. Sometimes you get out ahead of people. I’m going to put the power run game in, kill the clock and get off the field.”

Wyoming’s passing attack, however, is fully matured, even if it’s powered by a freshman quarterback in Brett Smith.

“But as the quarterback, whether you’re a freshman or senior, the team looks to you in adversity and if you’re down, the team is going to be down so I really make it a point to not get super frustrated and have that rub off on the team,” he said. “I want to stay super positive and lead the team.”

Smith has done a good job of that so far this season.

For the first, second and fourth quarters of Goddard’s game with Ruidoso on Friday, the Lady Rockets were 24 points better than the Warriors.

The Rockets rallied back after the thir d, but the comeback fell short in a 58-57 loss at Ground Zero Gymnasium.

said Rocket coach Greg Torres after the game. “We dug ourselves a hole and had to dig out of it. We almost did, but it just wasn’t quite enough.”

The Rockets led 32-25 at the break and appeared to be headed for their third win of the season.

Then the third quarter happened.

The Rockets scored just one point in the third — on a Camille Martinez free throw at the 3:20 mark — tur ned the ball over 16 times and missed all 10 of their field-goal attempts.

And the Warriors took advantage of the situation.

After missing their first five tries from the field in the period, they made 11 of their next 13 during a 26-1 run over the final six-plus minutes.

That run pushed Ruidoso ahead by 18 entering the fourth.

Torres’ speech during the br eak between the quarters served as a wakeup call for the Rockets.

Judge gives Bonds house arrest

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds will remain free while he appeals his conviction for giving misleading testimony before a grand jury.

A federal judge handed Bonds a sentence of 30 days of house arrest, two years of probation and 250 hours of community service on Friday — then delayed the sentence pending an appeal likely to take a year or more.

U.S. District Judge Susan Illston also put on hold a $4,000 fine against Bonds for his obstruction of justice conviction arising from a grand jury appearance eight years ago.

Prosecutors wanted the home run king to spend 15 months in prison. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella argued that home confinement wasn’t punishment enough, “for a man with a 15,000 square foot house with all the advantages.” Bonds

lives on a nearly two-acre estate in Beverly Hills.

Parrella called the sentence a “slap on the wrist” and the fine “almost laughable” for a former baseball superstar who made millions of dollars during his career. Parrella had sought 15 months in prison, disagreeing with the judge’s conclusion that the crime was “aberrant” behavior for an otherwise law-abiding Bonds who has donated money and time to charities.

“The defendant basically lived a double life for decades,” argued Parrella, who said Bonds tested positive for steroids and amphetamines during his playing days.

“He had mistresses throughout his marriages.”

Illston said none of that had any bearing on Bonds’ sentence. She agreed with a proSee BONDS, Page B2

Sveum finalizes Cubs coaching staff

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs manager Dale Sveum unveiled his coaching staff Friday, bringing in former teammate Chris Bosio to be in charge of the pitchers and Jamie Quirk to be his bench coach.

Sveum also said the Cubs have not been in touch with prized free agent Prince Fielder, with whom he has a close relationship from their days together in Milwaukee.

He said reports that the Cubs were among the front-runners to sign Fielder were speculation “At this point I think it’s lot of media talk more than us doing anything. We haven’t had any talks with Prince and I haven’t had any conversations with him,” Sveum said.

“We haven’t initiated any kind of contact at all.”

That, of course, doesn’t mean Fielder won’t end up with the Cubs. But, as Sveum sees it, it’s not imminent.

Sveum, who was the Brewers’ hitting coach the last three years, called the revelation that 2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun of Milwaukee tested positive for a performance enhancing substance “an unfortunate thing.”

Braun is appealing the finding to avoid a 50-game suspension for what reportedly was a positive test for synthetic testosterone. A spokesman for Braun said “there are highly unusual circumstances surrounding this case which will support Ryan’s complete innocence.”

“It took everybody by surprise. But until it is all said and done, I don’t really have much comment on that right now,” Sveum said.

“It’s just an unfortunate thing that’s come about and hopefully he gets exonerated and there was some kind of mix-up or whatever.”

Sveum also named Dave McKay, who was dropped by St. Louis after a 16-year stint there when Mike Matheny became

She also noted that most obstruction cases were more serious, and often involved violence being used against witnesses.

“This sentence is an appropriate sentence for a conviction where there is no victim,” said Stuart Slotnick, a former prosecutor now in private practice.

“And many question the ensuing possession, Bobcat coach Anthony Mestas was called for a technical foul.

Dexter’s David Lopez hit both free throws to give the Demons a 36-24 lead and two more buckets by Miguel Barrientos and Amador Amaya gave Dexter a 16-point lead with 5:02 left.

Hagerman wouldn’t lay down, however, and a jumper by Jessie Rodriguez ignited the Bobcats.

The Bobcat defense forced five consecutive fr om Abbie Blach — to close within three with 43.1 seconds left.

With 13.4 seconds left, Villalpando was whistled for a foul near mid-court on Saenz. After the play, though, Saenz was called for a technical after shoving a player to the floor.

The technical was Saenz’s fifth foul, which for ced Warrior coach Dean Hood to pick a replacement shooter for the bonus one-and-one. manager, as his first base coach. Entering his 27th season as a big league coach, McKay will also work with base runners and outfielders.

Pat Listach, who was the bench coach last season under Mike Quade, returns and will now be the third base coach. Returning to the Cubs staff in their previous roles are hitting coach Rudy Jaramillo and bullpen coach Lester Strode.

Additionally, Mike Borzello and Franklin Font will serve as major league staff assistants.

Quirk has 12 years of experience as a bench coach with the Royals and Rockies.

Bosio, who was a teammate of Sveum’s with the Brewers, was Tampa Bay’s pitching coach in 2003 and served in that role with the Brewers in 2009. He was Milwaukee’s Triple-A pitching coach last season.

He will be handling a pitching staff not short on emotion. Matt Garza is a fierce competitor and one-time ace Carlos Zambrano was suspended last season after an outburst in Atlanta, where he gave up five homers in a game.

“No-nonsense type of guy who is going to get down and dirty with each and every pitcher and get the best out of them,” Sveum said of Bosio, who had an 11-year major league career. “More importantly he’s really good at understanding how to get hitters out.”

Kobe Bryant’s wife files for divorce

ORANGE, Calif. (AP) — Kobe Bryant’s wife, Vanessa, filed for divorce on Friday from the Los Angeles Lakers star, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split from her husband of more than 10 years.

She signed the papers on Dec. 1 and Kobe Bryant filed his response on Dec. 7.

A representative for the couple released a statement saying, “The Bryants have resolved all issues incident to their divorce privately with the assistance of counsel and a Judgment dissolving their marital status will be entered in 2012.”

In the filing, Vanessa Bryant asked for joint legal and physical custody of the couple’s two daughters, Natalia, 8, and Gianna, 5. Kobe Bryant asked for the same in his response.

In the statement, the Bryants “ask that in the interest of our young children and in light of the upcoming holiday season the public respect our privacy during this difficult time.”

Bryant met his future wife in 1999 on a music video shoot when Vanessa Laine was 18 years old. Six months later, she and the then-21-year-old Bryant became engaged.

They married on April 18, 2001.

The couple have been through trying times together.

When Kobe Bryant was charged with sexual assault in 2003, she appeared at a news conference, holding his hand and stroking it tenderly as the NBA star admitted he was guilty of adultery — but nothing else.

Earlier, she had issued her own statement to the media, vowing to stand by her husband.

to Clovis Christian on Friday.

The Panthers played with only five players and coach Leslie Turner said they played tough.

“We played tough,” she said. “We only had five girls, so we were short on the bench, but they played hard.”

Dexter 60, Hagerman 16 DEXTER — A night after scoring just 11 points against Tatum, Dexter exploded for 68 in a win over Hagerman on Friday.

Demon coach Kim Hamill said that her team worked some things out in a morning practice on

seriousness of the charges and the motivation for the prosecution.”

Well-wishers hugged the 47-year-old Bonds in the hallway outside the courtroom after the hearing was over. He declined to speak in court.

A jury convicted Bonds in April of purposely answering questions about steroids with rambling non sequiturs in an attempt to mislead a grand jury investigating sports doping in December 2003. Bonds’

trial jury failed to reach a verdict on three other charges accusing Bonds of lying when he denied taking performance-enhancing drugs and when he denied receiving injections from someone other than his doctor.

Prosecutors in September dropped those deadlocked charges, giving up on another trial.

His lead attorney, Allen Ruby, said Bonds will formally file a “notice of appeal” Friday.

turnovers after Rodriguez’s bucket and converted those stops into six points, closing the lead to eight.

After Dexter’s Kevin Paez hit one of two from the charity stripe, Hagerman scored four points in a span of 20 seconds to make the score 41-36 with 1:35 left.

With seven seconds left, Olivas scored to bring Hagerman to within a possession. Rodriguez stole the ensuing inbounds pass, but didn’t have enough time to run out to

the 3-point line and his layup attempt was swatted away by Amaya, ending the game.

Mestas said that his team fought until the end.

“We just finally stepped up (in the fourth quarter) and went to our run and jump press,” he said. “We didn’t have a very good first half at all. We only scored 14 points and that is not very productive. We were in such a big deficit it was hard for us to come back.

“They were up by 16 at

A mixup on the substitution put Darian Magooshboy at the line.

She promptly missed her only attempt.

On the other end, Blach made both fr ee throws for Saenz’s technical to make it 58-57.

After a Rocket timeout, they turned the ball over on the inbounds, thanks in large part to an official’s timeout just before the ball was put in play.

“The problem was, we

ran the play and (one of the officials) was calling for a stoppage of play, and (Ruidoso) saw what we did,” T orr es said about the confusion on the inbounds. “I didn’t have another timeout, so we had to run it on the fly. We didn’t look for the option we were going for, clearly.

“I just wanted to get Abbie the ball in the corner and told her to take it to the hole and get fouled

SCOREBOARD

“I know that my husband has made a mistake — the mistake of adultery,” she said in the statement at the time. “He and I will have to deal with that within our marriage, and we will do so. He is not a criminal.”

The case against Kobe Bryant was later dismissed.

Last year, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant settled litigation with a former maid who accused the NBA star’s wife of harassment.

The Bryants countersued Maria Jimenez for violating a confidentiality agreement by talking to reporters about the family.

Ryan, Falcons feeling confident

ATLANTA (AP) — Matt Ryan likes how the Atlanta Falcons are playing with two games left in the regular season.

He is even more pleased that the Falcons can rest this weekend while other NFC playoff contenders compete.

Atlanta (9-5) has won four of five and closes the regular season with games at New Orleans on Dec. 26 and at home against Tampa Bay on Jan. 1. The Falcons seem poised to make consecutive postseason appearances for the first time in their

TV SPORTSWATCH

Roswell Daily Record Major League Baseball’s career home runs leader, Bonds is the highest-profile defendant — and the last — to come out of the government’s investigation of the steroids distribution ring built around the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, founded by Victor Conte.

Besides the seven-time MVP, 10 people were convicted of various charges.

Six of them, including track star Marion Jones, were ensnared for lying to grand jurors, federal investigators one point and we could have just laid down and quit and lost by 30. But the kids continued to fight and that is all you can ask for with a group of young kids. I was happy and pleased with that effort in the second half.”

Voight, experiencing his first Dexter vs. Hagerman game, said it was all it was built up to be.

“It was everything that people said it was going to be,” he said. “It was rowdy and loud. It was two teams that are really good, comor something. It just did not work out that way with the stoppage of play over here on the sideline.

It is what it is.”

Goddard got two more possessions after that, but turned the ball over on the first and Danielle Hubbar d had her shot blocked on the second.

“Absolutely; come back from 18 down, get within one and still have a shot,” said about T orr es whether he was happy 46-year history.

“Four or five days off couldn’t come at a better time,” said Ryan, who threw three touchdown passes in a 41-14 victory over Jacksonville on Thursday night. “I think everybody will use this extended little break that we have to let our bodies heal a little bit so that we can be fresh when we go down and play New Orleans.”

Ryan believes his team is brimming with confidence even though it’s coming off consecutive wins over teams with a combined 8-19 record. The Falcons ripped off 65 consecutive points from the start of Sunday’s third quarter at Carolina to the 2:12 mark of Thursday’s third quarter.

“That’s what we need,” Ryan said.

“We’re in a position where we have two games left now, and I think still control our own destiny. That’s the kind of football we need to play moving forward, and I think it’s good that we’re doing it at this time.”

Atlanta trails the NFC South-leading Saints by 1 1/2 games. New Orleans, which earned a 26-23 overtime victory five weeks ago at the Georgia Dome, takes a five-game winning streak into Sunday’s matchup with the Vikings in Minnesota.

With the top three NFC playoff spots likely going to Green Bay, San Francisco and New Orleans, the Falcons would benefit if New York, Detroit, Chicago or Dallas loses this weekend. Atlanta currently has the fifthbest record in the race for the NFC’s six postseason berths.

The Falcons moved past a disappointing 17-10 loss at Houston two weeks ago by returning to the core principles that have fueled their success under fourth-year coach Mike Smith.

They jumped out to a fast start against Jacksonville in all three phases of the game, building a 27-0 halftime lead with big plays on offense, defense and special teams.

Sean Weatherspoon helped Atlanta pull away with a key fumble recovery after Jacksonville muffed a punt in the second quarter. He fell on the loose ball at the 5, and Michael Turner ran for a touchdown on the next snap to make it 17-0.

“Winning on a short week is never an easy proposition, but I really think our team handled it very well and I really think it showed the way that they worked in the ballgame,” Smith said after the Falcons improved to 27-1 in his tenure when they win the turnover battle.

“They started fast and I think that they played well for most part of the ballgame. I liked their effort and I liked that the guys played, and we got the result that we wanted. Now it’s an opportunity to try to go get (victory) No. 10.”

A 41-0 lead allowed Smith to rest Ryan for the final 17 minutes, a deserved break after his quarterback threw three touchdown passes in consecutive games for the first time in his career.

Bond set at $100,000 for Bears player Hurd Roswell Daily Record

CHICAGO (AP) — The attor ney for Sam Hurd said Friday that his client had never sold drugs to other NFL players, hoping to put any rumors to rest as the wide receiver without a team prepares to fight federal drug charges.

Less than an hour after Hurd was cut by the Chicago Bears, defense attorney Brett Greenfield told reporters that his client planned to fight the charges and wanted one thing made clear.

“Sam has asked me to address one point, with respect to the rumors that Sam has been supplying drugs to other members of the NFL, out of respect to the NFL, out of respect to teammates and out of respect to other players, he 100 percent denies that allegation,” Greenfield said. “It is patently and totally false. It just didn’t happen.”

League spokesman Brian McCarthy said the NFL was closely monitoring the situation. Asked about a report that authorities have a list of NFL players with ties to the drug case, McCarthy said: “We are not aware of such a list.”

U.S. Magistrate Young Kim set bond at $100,000 for Hurd and ordered him to surrender his passport and any firear ms. He is expected to be tried in Texas, where the criminal complaint was filed this week by the U.S. attorney.

Hurd, who appeared in court in an orange jumpsuit with his feet shackled, waived his right to a preliminary hearing, meaning the next step is for prosecutors to take their case before a grand jury. Several members of Hurd’s family, including his wife, mother and brother, attended the hearing but he didn’t appear to look at them, even as he was led

out of the room.

Hurd was arrested Wednesday night outside a Chicago steakhouse, according to the complaint.

He allegedly told an undercover agent he was interested in buying five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute in the Chicago area.

Hurd told the agent a “co-conspirator is in charge of doing the majority of the deals” while he focused on “higher -end deals,” the complaint said.

He agreed to pay $25,000 for each kilogram of cocaine and $450 a pound for the marijuana, according to the charges, and then said he could pay for a kilo of cocaine — about 2.2 pounds — after “he gets out of practice.” He walked out of the restaurant with the package and was arrested.

Authorities say Hurd faces up to 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine if convicted of conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine, or half a kilogram.

Teammates said they were stunned by the allegations and Angelo said he was, too, as he announced the team was cutting Hurd.

“There were no facts, there were no flags, that anybody could present tangibly to say we should have known otherwise, and I want to make that perfectly clear to the public, to our fans,” Angelo said Friday. “We do our homework.

We do our due diligence.

We did everything you could possibly do given the information that we can allocate.”

The 26-year -old Hurd was in his first year with the Bears and sixth year overall in the NFL after five years with the Cowboys.

Angelo said the Bears performed an extensive background check on Hurd, a San Antonio native who played at Northern Illinois, before signing him in July to a three-year deal reportedly worth up to $5.15 million, including a $1.35 million signing bonus and base pay this season of $685,000.

“We go back, we ask questions,” Angelo said. “Is there something we could have done, something we should have done, in the process? Sometimes, there are glitches, but in this case, there are none. I could sit here and tell you with total transparency that we did everything we know to do in terms of our research, and there was nothing that we found that would create a flag or an alert or a real concern in Sam Hurd’s case.”

Asked how certain he was that other players on the Bears or around the league were not involved, Angelo said, “I can’t talk about that.”

“I’m certainly not going on any witch hunts about players,” he added. “The one thing that we’ve done when there’s been a wrong, we’ve acted. We don’t justify wrongs. We’ve acted. We have a track record of doing that. Unfortunately, a situation arose that caught us off guard, but not to the point where we aren’t going to do the right thing.”

The Bears announced their contract agreement with Hurd on July 29, one day after federal authorities say he had agreed to a “consensual interview” with Homeland Security investigators over $88,000 in cash that had been seized in a car he owned in the Dallas area. The money was inside a canvas bag that authorities said was covered in a plant-like

material that tested positive for “properties of marijuana.”

Hurd said the money was his and that he had given the car to his acquaintance, a car shop employee, for maintenance and detail work, the complaint said.

“From my understanding, he wasn’t the one that was pulled over,” Angelo said. “His vehicle was pulled over. He was not the driver. That was never

made public. So he was never charged with anything. There was never any record to our knowledge.

And it was, from my understanding, a citation, but other than that, there was no other information that was presented to us.”

Angelo would not say if the Bears would try to recoup some of the signing bonus. He also gave a terse answer when asked whether the case might affect his own future with

the Bears, telling a reporter to “whistle Dixie.”

Angelo is under contract through 2013.

As for Hurd, receiver Earl Bennett described him as a “guy with high character who just loves to play the game of football, loves to have fun.” Bennett also said he doesn’t think other players are involved.

“I wouldn’t think so,” he said. “A lot of guys in this locker room are very highcharacter guys.”

Cowboys feel they have a strong finish in them Broncos see Patriots TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — If the suddenly reeling Dallas Cowboys learned anything while letting a solid grip on the NFC East lead slip away, it’s to not take anything for granted.

So while Tony Romo and a talented supporting cast may still control their own destiny in the division race, a string of late collapses that’s cost them a clear path to the playoffs illustrate why they can’t afford to overlook anyone — including the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night — down the stretch.

“We take it week by week,” Romo said, declining to speculate on the prospects of rebounding from consecutive losses to the Cardinals and Giants to finish atop the standings.

The Cowboys (7-6) are tied with the Giants for first place, however New York holds the tie-breaker advantage after rallying from a 12-point deficit in the final three minutes to win 37-34 in Dallas last Sunday.

Dallas can clinch the NFC East by winning remaining games against Tampa Bay (4-9), at home against Philadelphia, and on the road against the Giants in the regular season finale.

“Obviously we’ve lost a couple of close games. ...

We just have to come out and play a great game this week, have great energy and play our best game of the year,” Romo said. “It’s going to be a great challenge. ... Tampa is never an easy place to play.”

The Bucs have lost seven straight and eight of nine overall following a 3-1 start, raising questions about whether ownership is contemplating replacing coach Raheem Morris.

There’s been talk that

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett may be on the hotseat, too, even though Dallas owner Jerry Jones said this week that Garrett’s job is safe.

Garrett said he’s focused on the Buccaneers, not whether he will be dismissed if the Cowboys fail to make the playoffs.

“There’s no question, any time the owner says something positive, that’s a good thing,” Garrett said. “But again we know what the challenges are, and we’ve got to keep putting our best foot forward. We ask our players to do that and we have to do that as coaches, regardless of what anybody says.”

The Bucs, who’ve fallen apart after a start that included victories over NFC South rivals New Orleans and Atlanta, are relishing their role as potential spoilers.

After facing the Cowboys, who’ve led in the fourth quarter of five of their six losses, Tampa Bay closes on the road at Carolina and Atlanta.

“Dallas is kind of on the bubble right now. ... I can’t think of anything happier than to go out and get a win and maybe put a damper on their hopes,” Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman said, adding that while Tampa Bay’s skid has been frustrating he and teammates haven’t given up on themselves.

“Guys just want to win.

We’re upset about losing, but guys come into work and want to do something about it to correct it. It’s not a deal where we’re losing and nobody wants to be around the building or nobody wants to work at it,” Freeman added. “Guys are still giving it all they’ve got, trying to figure out a way to right the ship.”

and narrowly missing the playoffs last season, Freeman has struggled in his second full season as a starter.

A year ago, the third quarterback selected in the 2009 draft threw for 25 touchdowns and just six interceptions. This season, he’s been slowed by right thumb and shoulder injuries, made some poor decisions with the football and thrown for 12 touchdowns vs. 18 interceptions.

Garrett looks at Freeman and sees a 23-year -old experiencing the normal growing pains of a NFL quarterback.

“I think what happens is for any quarterback of any age, taking care of the football is a critical thing. We certainly understand, I think everybody around the league understands that,” the Dallas coach said.

“Sometimes interceptions or turnovers happen for a lot of reasons. You have to try to minimize them as best you can. He didn’t have a lot of them last year, so he certainly understands how to do that and handle that. He’ll grow with every experience he gets. He’s certainly a heck of a young player, and a guy who’s got a great future.”

Tampa Bay turned the ball over seven times against the Jaguars and enter Saturday night tied with the Eagles with a league-leading 31 giveaways, compared to 19 all of last season. The Bucs also are the third-most penalized team in the league.

Morris declines to make excuses, but stresses that as the league’s youngest team the Bucs are far from a finished product.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos haven’t been to the playoffs since 2006, so they’re in no position and certainly no mood to judge the quality of the opponents they’re dispatching with all this last-minute magic.

They’re 7-1 since Tim Tebow took over and started engineering a series of outrageous second-half comebacks.

Those opponents, though, have a combined record of 39-52.

With Tom Brady and the powerful New England Patriots (10-3) coming to town Sunday, the Broncos (8-5) see this as a chance to prove they’re not just a curiosity but a contender.

“Yeah, well, we need to prove it to ourselves,” star cornerback Champ Bailey said. “We’ve played against some teams that were kind of struggling. We’d like to go put it together against a top-quality quarterback like Brady.”

It’s not just Tebow who’s facing what could be his toughest test since he started the final three games last season and then supplanted an ineffective Kyle Orton in October after a 1-4 start.

Denver’s dominant defense, which has two hiccups — against the multifaceted Lions and Packers, faces another formidable challenge in the Patriots, led by Brady, who’s thrown for 33 touchdown passes, 15 of them to big tight end Rob Gronkowski and nine to Wes Welker, who already has 100 catches.

“He’s getting them all the ball,” said Broncos safety Brian Dawkins. “Nobody’s really starving for catches.”

And so, the AFC East-leading Patriots are feasting on opponents, putting up an AFC-best 31 points a game.

That kind of firepower means the AFC West-leading Broncos’ notoriously slow-starting offense will have to keep pace, and given New England’s defensive shortcomings, this game could turn into a shootout.

Only twice have the Broncos piled up points since Tebow took over in October. They put up 38 at Oakland and 35 at Minnesota. But six times they’ve failed to even score 20 points with Tebow starting.

That’s why so many see this game as the Broncos’ best barometer yet.

The Patriots have the pedigree the Broncos used to have when they, too, were a perennial playoff team. But Denver hasn’t punched its ticket to the postseason party since losing to Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game following the 2005 season.

“Obviously New England has been a team that’s been in the playoffs for the last decade or whatever. So they’ve got a lot of players who’ve been there,” Broncos pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil said. “They’re the team that’s always been in the playoffs. We want to establish ourselves as that team. This is a good challenge for us.”

The Broncos have long been Brady’s bugaboo, beating him five times in six tries, including a 27-13 win on Jan. 14, 2006, when Bailey returned a game-changing interception 100 yards, helping hand Brady his first playoff loss and ending New England’s 10-game postseason winning streak and a shot at an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title.

“Considering how much they won the previous years, they were pretty much unbeatable,” Bailey said. “To get a play like that and to change the game, to get a win against a team like that, yes, it’s a special moment.”

Roswell Daily Record

Duke City Christmas tree vendor still at it at age 99 ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — When Tony Garcia started selling Christmas trees, most people were sitting in front of a radio instead of a TV, Disney’s “Snow White” was playing on the silver screen, and the country was in the grips of the Great Depression.

The year was 1937, and Garcia, who will be 100 in February, had just been honorably discharged from the Army for medical reasons. He returned to Albuquerque, looking for a way to make some money when he stumbled upon the idea of selling Christmas trees.

He’s still at it, selling the Mora pines from his home on Fourth Street. Garcia used to sell his trees in various lots around town, but a particularly good season in the late 1950s brought him the money he needed to make a down payment on the property at 8826 Fourth St. NW. He’s been in business there since the 1960s, and he also made a living by collecting and selling Spanish Colonial artifacts.

“I have regular customers who are always glad to come back here,” he said, referring to his trees. “I have good prices.”

He said the business seems to be recession-proof, with him and his family selling between 150 and 200 trees a year.

But the prices have grown to match inflation. A Christmas-worthy tree would go for 75 cents in 1937; the average price now is $55, he said.

Garcia still runs the business, but he can no longer move the trees or load them in vehicles, so grandson Richard Sanchez has become his partner.

“But don’t worry,” he said. “I still supervise through the window.”

Garcia is referring to the large picture window in his living room that looks east onto his lot. He can see out of it perfectly from his favorite easy chair.

Garcia said he has a lot of memories from the years of selling trees but can’t recall many of them in great detail. Still, there’s one story — “a very sad story” — that he recalls with great clarity, even

She then was selfemployed, creating her own cleaning company, Azteca Janitorial, before retiring.

She had a tremendous love for all her children. She dedicated her entire life to them. Elena was a very special lady to all who knew her. She will truly be missed by all her loved ones.

Nuestra Querida Mama, Abuela, Hermana y Amiga, nos despedimos hoy con mucha tristesa. Pero le damos Gracis ha Dios que te hayga recuido porque sabemos todos que eso eras lo que mas esperabas, estar con Nuestro Señor. Anque la despedida sera solo por un poco tiempo, por que muy pronto te veremos alla Que dios te Benidiga hoy y Siempre.

He can’t recall the exact year, but he didn’t have any money to buy trees so he borrowed $100 from a friend, determined not to miss a season. He promised the friend he would pay him back by Christmas Eve, but made only enough to repay the debt. He kept his word and did so, but that left him with no extra money to enjoy the season.

“So I went to this little bar I used to go to sometimes,” he said. “I asked the owner if he would sell me a jug of wine on credit. He said ‘No. We don’t do credit.’

That was a very sad year because I didn’t get any wine.”

He tells the story with laughter, adding that it isn’t really all that sad. In fact, Garcia doesn’t have a lot of sad stories to tell. Instead, he chooses to focus on the positive experiences that life has offered him.

Hitchens, militant pundit, dies at 62

Christopher Hitchens speaks during a debate on Iraq and the foreign policies of the United States and Britain, in New York City, Sept. 14, 2005.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Christopher Hitchens, the author, essayist and polemicist who waged verbal and occasional physical battle on behalf of causes left and right and wrote the provocative best-seller “God is Not Great,” died Thursday night after a long battle with cancer. He was 62.

Hitchens’ death was announced in a statement from Conde Nast, publisher of Vanity Fair magazine. The statement says he died Thursday night at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston of pneumonia, a complication of his esophageal cancer Hitchens, a frequent television commentator and a contributor to Vanity

Fair, Slate and other publications, had become a popular author in 2007 thanks to “God is Not Great,” a manifesto for athiests that defied a recent trend of religious works. Cancer humbled, but did not mellow him.

Even after his diagnosis, his columns appeared weekly, savaging the royal family or reveling in the death of Osama bin Laden.

Eloquent and intemperate, bawdy and urbane, he was an acknowledged contrarian and contradiction — half-Christian, half-Jewish and fully nonbelieving; a native of England who settled in America; a for mer T rotskyite who backed the Iraq war and supported George W. Bush. But his passions remained constant and enemies of his youth, from Henry Kissinger to Mother Teresa, remained hated.

He was a militant humanist who believed in pluralism and racial justice and freedom of speech, big cities and fine art and the willingness to stand the consequences.

He once submitted to waterboarding to prove that it was indeed torture.

An emphatic ally and inspired foe, he stood by friends in trouble (”Satanic Verses” novelist Salman Rushdie) and against enemies in power (Iran’s Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini). His heroes included George Orwell, Thomas Paine and Gore Vidal (preSept. 11). Among those on the Hitchens list of

shame: Michael Moore, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong il, Sarah Palin, Gore Vidal (post Sept. 11) and Prince Charles.

Hitchens was born in Portsmouth, England, in 1949. His father, Eric, was a “purse-lipped” Navy veteran known as “The Commander”; his mother, Yvonne, a romantic who later killed herself during an extra-marital rendezvous in Greece. Young Christopher would have rather read a book. He was a “a mere weed and weakling and kick-bag” who discovered that “words could function as weapons” and so stockpiled them.

In college, Oxford, he met such longtime friends as authors Martin Amis and Ian McEwan and claimed to be nearby when visiting Rhodes scholar Bill Clinton did or did not inhale marijuana.

Radicalized by the 1960s, Hitchens was often arrested at political rallies, was kicked out of Britain’s Labour Party over his opposition to the Vietnam War and became a correspondent for the radical magazine International Socialism. His reputation broadened in the 1970s through his writings for the New Statesman.

Wavy-haired and brooding and aflame with wit and righteous anger, he was a star of the left on paper and on camera, a popular television guest and a columnist for one of the world’s oldest liberal publications, The Nation.

opposed to the more efficient — and expensive— curlicue fluorescents that have become increasingly familiar in recent years.

But he said gover nment should not penalize those who prefer traditional, incandescent bulbs.

“New lighting options are great news for the public, but the lesson is that markets and consumer demand are the best drivers of innovation and new choices,” Upton said.

Sen. Jef f Bingaman, chair man of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said the move would have little practical consequence, since it does not affect a 2007 law that requires manufacturers to produce or import more ef ficient bulbs. The five largest light bulb manufacturers have already switched to making and selling the more efficient bulbs, Bingaman said, so the enforcement delay only serves to confuse the public.

“Blocking funds to enforce minimum standards works against our nation getting the full benefits of energy efficiency,” said Bingaman, D-N.M., a key sponsor of the 2007 law, which was signed by President George W. Bush.

A group representing light bulb manufacturers spoke out against the delay, which applies only to 100-watt bulbs. T ighter standards for 75-watt bulbs take effect in 2013, and lower wattage bulbs must be more efficient by 2014.

“American manufacturers have invested millions of dollars in energy-efficient light bulbs,” said Joseph Higbee, a spokesman for the National Electric Manufacturers Association, which represents 95 percent U.S. light bulb makers.

Delaying enforcement of the standards “undermines those investments and creates regulatory uncertainty and consumer confusion,” he said, adding that a lack of federal enforcement “allows bad actors to sell noncompliant products” to consumers who may be unable to tell the difference between an energy-efficient bulb and one that isn’t.

The new law blocks the Energy Department from enforcing efficiency standards, but it does not prevent states from enforcing their own standards.

Rep. Joe Barton, RTexas, called the light-bulb provision “an early Christmas present for all Ameri-

In friendlier times, Vidal was quoted as citing Hitchens as a worthy heir to his satirical throne.

No Democrat angered him more than Clinton, whose presidency led to the bitter end of Hitchens’ friendship with White House aide Sidney Blumenthal and other Clinton backers. As Hitchens wrote in his memoir, he found Clinton “hateful in his behavior to women, pathological as a liar, and deeply suspect when it came to money in politics.”

He wrote the anti-Clinton book, “No One Left to Lie To,” at a time when most liberals were supporting the president as he faced impeachment over his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Hitchens also loathed Hillary Rodham Clinton and switched his affiliation from independent to Democrat in 2008 just so he could vote against her in the presidential primary.

The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, completed his exit. He fought with Vidal, Noam Chomsky and others who either suggested that U.S. foreign policy had helped cause the tragedy or that the Bush administration had advanced knowledge. He supported the Iraq war, quit The Nation, backed Bush for re-election in 2004 and repeatedly chastised those whom he believed worried unduly about the feelings of Muslims.

Congress flips dimmer switch on light bulb law

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in Congress are flipping the dimmer switch on a law that sets new energy-savings standards for light bulbs.

They’ve reached a deal to delay until October enforcement of standards that some fear will bring about the end of old-style 100watt bulbs. GOP lawmakers say they’re trying to head off more government interference in people’s lives.

But environmentalists and the light bulb industry say the move is not too bright.

Language postponing enforcement of the light bulb law — it was set to take effect Jan. 1 — was included in a massive spending bill that funds the government through September. The House passed the measure on Friday, with approval expected Saturday in the Senate.

Rep. Fred Upton, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, said the light bulb delay shows Congress is listening to the American people.

“We heard the message loud and clear,” said Upton, R-Mich. “Americans don’t want gover nment standards determining how they light their homes.”

Upton said he was not

cans” and said it strikes a blow against expensive fluorescents that he said are not as reliable as the oldstyle incandescents that have changed little since Thomas Edison’s day.

“This means Americans can continue to flip the switch on an af fordable and reliable product, instead of turning to one that costs five times more and may not live up to manufacturers’ promises,” said Barton, a for mer House Energy chair man who opposed the 2007 law and has worked to overturn it ever since.

Jim Presswood, federal energy policy director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, called the GOP-backed delay dimwitted.

“It’s just a completely ridiculous move by Congress,” Presswood said. “It undermines the ability of the Energy Department to enforce standards that are going to give consumers tremendous savings as well as reduce pollution.”

The fact that he is your father does not entitle him to be cruel.

If there is a student health center at your college, go there and talk to a medical professional about what is a healthy weight for your height and age, and whether any medical tests might be necessary to verify your health. If not, consult your family physician. This may provide the “proof” you need in discussions with your father.

Some males fill out later than others.

You should also ask your mother to point out to your dad that what he’s doing is counterproduc-

UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I’m an 18-year-old male living on my own in an apartment not far from my parents’ home. They visit me often and take turns driving me to the local college because I don’t have a car.

My parents tend to worry about me. I’m rather thin, but I eat healthy. My dad goes over the top with his concern about my weight and it is hurtful. He has called me a “cadaver” in front of friends. And when he drops me off after classes, he often says, “Now go eat something fattening!”

I have tried to discuss how his

tive. Perhaps she can make him see the light. If that doesn’t work, arrange other transportation to and from school so you will be less dependent on your father. #####

DEAR ABBY: A friend and I were talking about how wimpy a lot of guys in our generation are. We’re both in our mid-20s and seldom meet guys who take charge.

Several times we have met guys who said they’d call and set up a date. We know they’re interested because they have told our friends they’d like to date us again. But then they don’t call. Try as we might to give them chances to ask us out, they usually don’t.

I know that traditional dating rules are often discarded, but I don’t want to be the aggressor.

Their being “scared” isn’t an acceptable excuse, much less an attractive quality. Why do women so often have to do all the work nowadays or end up alone?

RFIAAS DILNNA A: Yesterday’s

“

Women do not have to do ALL the work in a relationship or risk remaining single for life. But they do have to shoulder a lot more of the responsibility than a generation ago as a result of the women’s movement. (Yes, I know I’ll catch “heck” for saying it.) As women have become more independent and aggressive, the old rules of romance have started to disappear.

Family Circus

Men aren’t stupid. Their view is, “If women are willing to do the courting, why should men do it?”

The guys you’ve described aren’t wimps; their passivity hasn’t turned other women off. Sending you messages through your friends instead of being direct and following through on their promises to call is business as usual for them.

While their behavior may seem immature, it has worked for them before.

Don’t give up hope. There are men who are interested in old-fashioned romance, but they are fewer in number. Be patient, keep looking and you’ll find one.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Readers: The winter months and cooler weather are here, and people will be using heaters and fireplaces a lot more. STATIC CLING is sure to follow! To reduce static cling, you need to replace the lost moisture in the air. Here are some Heloise helpful hints for doing so: * Use a small tabletop fountain. The running water will replace moisture, and the sound is soothing. * Use a cool-mist humidifier. * Simmer a large pot of water on your stove to add moisture.

Add some orange peels or a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a nice aroma. Check it often, and refill as needed.

If you have clothes that cling, mist them with water from a fine-mist spray bottle. Just be careful. Silk and other fine fabrics should not be sprayed.

These ideas and many more are in my latest book, “Handy Household Hints From Heloise.”

Check my website, www.Heloise.com.

Dear Heloise: So many of your readers ask you to reprint favorite recipes because they lost their copy that I want to share a great solution to this problem.

I lost my French bread recipe!

I was in a store with a friend, and she held up a pretty, framed picture for a kitchen or diningroom wall. It gave me the idea to frame my recipe if I could find it.

Well, I did find it! I printed a copy and decorated it with artwork, and now it hangs on my kitchen wall ... forever!

This hint could make a family heirloom recipe even more precious. Beautifully framed, it could make a great Christmas gift for someone you know who really enjoyed the recipe.

A Reader, via email Dear Heloise: I was tired of using a broom to sweep the large, wraparound porch on my Victorian bed and breakfast. One day, my husband was using his leaf blower on the lawn. I grabbed it and “blew off” the porch. It was great, because I could use it on chair cushions and windowsills as well. Saves a lot of time and energy! Thanks for your great column. We read it in the Cecil Whig in Maryland.

INSTANT KARMA

This Devotional & Directory is made possible by those businesses who encourage all of us to attend worship services.

Karma is sometimes described as the total effect of one’s actions on one’s fate or destiny, or the rule of cause and effect as applied to our actions. The notion that sin will be punished and virtue rewarded is a simple way to think about karma. Religions which believe in reincarnation believe that we will return to earthly existence in a form which is the natural and just result of our actions in the previous life. If you have a penchant for stepping on insects, your just reward might be to come back as an insect, and be dutifully stepped on. Religions like Christianity and Islam, which believe in a heaven and hell which are essentially a reward or punishment for a good or bad life, are in effect, a version of the karma doctrine. But perhaps, karma is instantaneous, that is, perhaps every action carries its own reward or punishment within itself. If you lie and steal, the immediate punishment is that you have thereby harmed yourself by becoming a liar and a thief. Likewise, every good deed carries with it the instant reward of making you a better person. Karma is also a mechanism for learning. That is, we soon realize that treating others in a mean and nasty fashion has the natural consequence of attracting meanness and nastiness.

Whereas, loving kindness tends to attract loving kindness.

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Beach Boys announce reunion tour B8 Saturday, December 17, 2011

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s almost winter, but get ready for some sur f and sun: The Beach Boys are reuniting.

The founding members of the classic rock group — Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine — announced Friday they are getting back together to celebrate their 50th anniversary. They’re working on a new album and also plan a 50-date tour that will take them around the world.

“This anniversary is special to me because I miss the boys, and it will be a thrill for me to make a new record and be on stage with them again,” Wilson said in a statement.

The group also includes Bruce Johnston and David Marks, both of whom have been with the band for decades.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers gave birth to the Califor nia rock sound.

Back then, the band members were Love, Jardine, Wilson and his two brothers — Carl and Dennis Wilson, who have since died.

With songs like “Good Vibrations,” “I Get Around” and “California Girls,” the quintet embodied the fan-

tasy of West Coast beach life. Their albums, particularly “Pet Sounds,” influenced rockers of their generation and beyond.

But Wilson suf fered mental problems that caused him to withdraw from the band, and there were years of animosity between Love and Wilson, who are cousins, as well as lawsuits among members of the band. Still, they have gotten back together over the years, including for their 40th anniversary in the past decade.

Love remarked in the statement Friday on how he and Wilson were getting along well, sharing compliments together in the studio.

“Music has been the unifying and harmonizing fact of life in our family since childhood,” he said. “It has been a huge blessing that we have been able to share with the world.” Referring to a Beach Boy hit, he added: “Wouldn’t It Be Nice to Do It Again? Absolutely!”

The group was supposed to announce their reunion as a surprise during the Recording Academy’s live nominations special for the Grammys last month, but those plans fell through.

The founding members of the classic rock group; Brian Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine, announced Friday they were getting back together to celebrate their 50th anniversary.

However, Jardine said the group planned to appear at the Feb. 12 Grammy telecast in Los

Angeles.

Montgomery says Brown

was meticulous and was a gentleman.

Brown often appeared in stage productions of the New York-based Negro Ensemble Company and

something really exciting.

There’s a lot of interest in it, which is nice. It’s going to be a very big operation.”

The Beach Boys first concert is scheduled for April 27 at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.

‘Sanford & Son’ actor Graham Brown dies in NJ ENGLEWOOD, N.J. (AP) — An actor who appeared on stage at London’s Globe Theatre and on television in “Sanford & Son” has died in New Jersey.

Graham Brown was 87.

Actress Barbara Montgomery often appeared with Brown on the stage and had power of attorney on his behalf. She says he

was a founding member of the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.

He played a school principal on the 1970s sitcom “Sanford & Son” and a

judge on “Law & Order.”

He also had roles in movies including “Malcolm X,” “Clockers” and “The Muppets Take Manhattan.”
