Truck hits ditch

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The U.S. strongly warned Iran on Wednesday against closing a vital Persian Gulf waterway that carries onesixth of the world’s oil supply, after Iran threatened to choke off traffic through the Strait of Hor muz if Washington imposes sanctions targeting the country’s crude exports.

The increasingly heated exchange raises new tensions in a standoff that has the potential to spark military reprisals and spike oil prices to levels that could batter an already fragile

global economy.

Iran’s navy chief said Wednesday that it would be “very easy” for his country’s forces to close the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the passage at the mouth of the Persian Gulf through which about 15 million barrels of oil pass daily. It was the second such warning by Iran in two days, reflecting Tehran’s concern that the West is about to impose new sanctions that could hit the country’s biggest source of revenue, oil.

COWBOYS NEED ANOTHER ROAD WIN

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas was in desperate need of a victory when Jason Garrett made his successful head coaching debut with a win on the road against the New York Giants midway through last season.

The Cowboys are back in a similar situation, and there is even more on the line as Garrett has come full circle.

Garrett’s 24th game, the finale of his first full regular season, is another trip to face the Giants.

SANTA FE (AP) — Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, a longshot candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, said Wednesday he is leaving the GOP in favor of running as a Libertarian.

Johnson told a news conference at the state Capitol that the decision was difficult, but that he was “deeply disappointed” by the treatment he received in the Republican nomination process.

“I had hoped to lay out a real Libertarian message on all the issues in the Republican contest. The process was not fair and open,” he said.

Johnson has been excluded from all but two GOP presidential debates.

He also has barely registered in the polls.

Roswell airman dies City salt trucks out at 1st flake VANESSA KAHIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

At least two Roswell families are mourning the loss of a military serviceman who passed away Christmas Eve. Staf f Sgt. Christopher Martinez, 28, passed away Saturday in Georgia. The circumstances surrounding his death are still under investigation, said his stepfather, Greg Etter.

Neither Greg Etter nor Martinez’s mother Sally Etter wanted to dwell on Martinez’s death. Instead, they spoke of his life — in particular, his desire to serve his country and his impact on family and friends.

“Christopher was a very loving, very gentle soul,”

said Greg Etter. “He touched everyone ... he made everyone laugh. At the time of his death he was thinking of other people, other than himself.”

Martinez joined the Air Force soon after graduating from Roswell High School in 2001, Etter said. That same year, he received basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.

Etter said Martinez was overseas for stretches of time, but often was not allowed to say exactly where he was, nor give details of the mission. Still, Etter said Martinez had been to Iraq, Afghanistan, the United Kingdom and Germany.

for college preparations

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico high school students will get more access to advanced placement classes and be able to take the PSAT for free under a plan unveiled Wednesday by Gov. Susana Martinez.

Martinez said the budget recommendations to the 2012 Legislature also include more frequent testing to ensure students are learning what they need to know to get into college.

“Today’s students are tomorrow’s workforce,” Martinez said at the University of New Mexico.

“When they graduate high school, New Mexico stu-

dents deserve every advantage to make sure they are successful in college. When our students ear n their diplomas, they expect to have all the skills they need for college. These reforms will help us deliver on that promise.”

The recommendations call for $4.2 million to fund increased access to AP programs, and $2.5 million for statewide short-cycle tests for more than 180,000 students in grades 4 through 10. Martinez said such tests help teachers identify gaps in learning and adjust their instruction. Some disSee EDUCATION, Page A3

Bugs may be resistant to Former NM hospital exec genetically modified corn sued over missing $3.2M

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

One of the nation’s most widely planted crops — a genetically engineered corn plant that makes its own insecticide — may be losing its effectiveness because a major pest appears to be developing resistance more quickly than scientists expected.

The U.S. food supply is not in any immediate danger because the problem remains isolated. But scientists fear potentially risky farming practices could be blunting the hybrid’s sophisticated weaponry.

When it was introduced in 2003, socalled Bt corn seemed like the answer to farmers’ dreams: It would allow growers to bring in bountiful harvests using fewer chemicals because the corn naturally produces a toxin that poisons western corn rootworms. The hybrid was such a swift success that it and similar varieties now account for 65 percent of all U.S. corn acres — grain that ends up in thousands of everyday foods such as cereal, sweeteners and cooking oil.

But over the past few summers, rootworms have feasted on the roots of Bt corn in parts of four Midwestern states, suggesting that some of the insects are becoming resistant to the crop’s pestfighting powers.

Scientists say the problem could be partly the result of far mers who’ve planted Bt corn year after year in the same fields.

Most farmers rotate corn with other crops in a practice long used to curb the spread of pests, but some have abandoned rotation because they need extra grain for livestock or because they have grain contracts with ethanol producers.

A scientist recently sounded an alarm throughout the biotech industry when he published findings concluding that rootworms in a handful of Bt cornfields in Iowa had evolved an ability to survive the corn’s formidable defenses.

Similar crop damage has been seen in parts of Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska, but researchers are still investigating whether rootworms capable of surviving the Bt toxin were the cause.

University of Minnesota entomologist Kenneth Ostlie said the severity of root-

worm damage to Bt fields in Minnesota has eased since the problem surfaced in 2009. Yet reports of damage have become more widespread, and he fears resistance could be spreading undetected because the damage rootwor ms inflict often isn’t apparent.

Without strong winds, wet soil or both, plants can be damaged at the roots but remain upright, concealing the problem. He said the damage he observed in Minnesota came to light only because storms in 2009 toppled corn plants with damaged roots.

Seed maker Monsanto Co. created the Bt strain by splicing a gene from a common soil organism called Bacillus thuringiensis into the plant. The natural insecticide it makes is considered harmless to people and livestock.

Scientists always expected rootworms to develop some resistance to the toxin produced by that gene. But the worrisome signs of possible resistance have emerged sooner than many expected.

The Environmental Protection Agency recently chided Monsanto, declaring in a Nov. 22 report that it wasn’t doing enough to monitor suspected resistance among rootwor m populations. The report urged a tougher approach, including expanding monitoring efforts to a total of seven states, including Colorado, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The agency also wanted to ensure farmers in areas of concern begin using insecticides and other methods to combat possible resistance.

Monsanto insists there’s no conclusive proof that rootworms have become immune to the crop, but the company said it regards the situation seriously and has been taking steps that are “directly in line” with federal recommendations.

Some scientists fear it could already be too late to prevent the rise of resistance, in large part because of the way some farmers have been planting the crop.

They point to two factors: farmers who have abandoned crop rotation and others have neglected to plant non-Bt corn within Bt fields or in surrounding fields as a way to create a “refuge” for nonresistant rootworms in the hope they will mate with resistant rootworms and dilute their genes.

Experts worry that the actions of a few farmers could jeopardize an innovation that has significantly reduced pesticide use and saved growers billions of dollars in lost yields and chemical-control costs.

Besides rotating crops, farmers can also fight resistance by switching between Bt corn varieties, which produce different toxins, or planting newer varieties with multiple toxins. They can also treat damaged fields with insecticides to kill any resistant rootworms — or employ a combination of all those approaches.

The EPA requires growers to devote 20 percent of their fields to non-Bt corn.

After the crop was released in 2003, nine out of 10 farmers met that standard. Now it’s only seven or eight.

Seed companies are supposed to cut off farmers with a record of violating the planting rules, which are specified in seed-purchasing contracts. To improve compliance, companies are now introducing blends that have ordinary seed

Police responded to Allsup’s, 1500 N. Garden Ave., in reference to fraud.

The clerk stated that a Hispanic female wearing a hooded sweater came into the store and paid for items with a counterfeit $10 bill.

According to the clerk, the female bought two scratchoff tickets and two bean burritos, then left the store.

The clerk got a brief description of her vehicle.

He described it as an older gray four-door vehicle. The clerk stated the female was 5 feet 3 inches, weighed approximately 230 pounds and had brown eyes and black hair.

Larceny Police were called to AT&T, 4311 N. Main St., in reference to a larceny. A worker at the store reported unknown suspects removed a black HTC Vivid phone from the store. The employee advised the sim card had been disabled from the phone. The cost of the stolen item was listed at $549.

Shoplifting Police responded to Stripe’s, 3800 S. Main St., in reference to shoplifting.

A store employee allowed an officer to review the in-

store video. A white male subject wearing a heavy, blue winter coat and a red knit hat was observed walking into the store. He walked to the section of the store where shelved, bottled liquor is kept. He picked up a bottle of liquor and walked into the restroom with the bottle concealed under his coat. He then exited the restroom without the bottle. A bottle of Captain Morgan’s Spice Rum was found in the restroom trash can with an open seal and a few ounces removed. The bottle and subject viewed on video were photographed. The subject’s picture will be used to attempt to identify him.

Burglary •Police were called to the 500 block of North Missouri Avenue in reference to a burglary. The homeowner advised police that an unknown subject entered two locked storage sheds and her closed garage, and removed an antique mirror, miscella-

neous hand tools, a Ryobi backpack blower, an air compressor, a hand truck and a Goddard megaphone.

The approximate cost of the missing items was listed at $3,700.

•Police were contacted by a member of Craig Duran Insurance, 212 S. Lea Ave., in reference to a burglary.

The subject advised that he came to pick up an item from the location and found the back door had been kicked in. The only item he could find missing at the time was his laptop computer. The subject contacted his security company and found the alar m had been tripped but the company did not notify anyone of the alarm. The cost of the damaged rear metal door and frame were recorded as $1,000. The cost of the stolen Dell Inspiron laptop with speakers and an adapter was recorded as $2,000.

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A for mer executive at a Santa Fe hospital has been accused of bilking the care center out of more than $3 million by funneling the money through corporations that he owned in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas that were controlled by a woman with whom he had a personal relationship, according to a recently filed lawsuit.

The Albuquerque Journal reports Great American Insurance Co. filed the lawsuit Friday against Richard Crabtree. It accuses him and other defendants of engaging in a “pervasive scheme” to misappropriate money from Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center by billing and collecting at least $3.2 million for claimed services that either weren’t provided or were grossly inflated.

Crabtree was fired from the hospital after working there six years in 2008 without explanation and now lives in Castle Rock, Colo. He did not respond to several phone messages at his home.

The lawsuit said the scheme began within

months of Crabtree’s initial hiring.

Hospital CEO Alex Valdez said information about the scheme was discovered through an anonymous packet that someone mailed to him in late January 2008. Hospital officials, including its board of directors, moved quickly to investigate the fraud allegations once they learned of them, and that’s why Crabtree was fired, he said.

The hospital’s board also alerted law enforcement authorities about the possible fraud and hopes Crabtree is investigated on criminal charges, Valdez said.

He declined to say which agencies were notified. “I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize ongoing investigations.”

L ynn Southard, a spokeswoman for the New Mexico Attorney General’s Office, said the case was referred to the of fice’s investigations division.

“As is the case with any referral, the matter was assigned for further review and inquiry,” she said in a statement. “Per our media policy, we cannot comment on the status of that

inquiry at this time.”

Valdez stressed that despite the magnitude of fraudulent billings, the hospital was able to recoup the money through its insurance carrier and, as a result, didn’t suffer financially.

“From the hospital perspective, we have been made whole,” he said.

The woman with whom Crabtree had a relationship and her two brothers billed the hospital for $3.2 million through a number of companies in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas that they controlled, according to the lawsuit. Their names are not included.

The companies involved sometimes shared a single bank account. In addition, Crabtree and the others set up a meeting in an effort to convince St. Vincent officials that the companies were legitimate, according to the lawsuit.

Crabtree also tried to prevent “knowledgeable St. Vincent Hospital personnel” from interacting with the others involved “in order to minimize the risk of discovery,” according to the lawsuit.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has adopted an interim policy to protect the greater sage grouse in 10 Western states until it can implement long-term policies to preserve habitat for the mainly grounddwelling bird.

The BLM on Tuesday issued two memos to employees with guidance for managing sage grouse habitat.

One memo covers mining, oil and gas leasing, grazing and other common activities on public land.

The memo allows for more detailed review of oil and gas leasing, for instance, if a leasing proposal doesn’t include sufficient measures to offset loss of sage grouse habitat.

The other memo says BLM employees must consider all applicable conservation measures in largescale resource management planning for BLM lands that include sage grouse habitat.

The interim policy comes a few weeks after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and

Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead hosted a meeting of federal and state of ficials from around the West to talk about developing a regional policy for sage grouse.

Sage grouse have been disappearing with the encroachment of human development on their sagebrush habitat. Their numbers are down some 90 percent across the West over the past century.

The chicken-sized birds known for their elaborate mating rituals have been in a sort of regulatory limbo.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decided in 2010 they deserved protection under the Endangered Species Act but that other species were higher priorities for protection as threatened or endangered.

In September, a judge approved a court settlement that set a 2015 deadline for Fish and Wildlife to decide the birds’ status under the Endangered Species Act. The settlement resolved more than a dozen lawsuits that challenged the government’s handling of some 250 species includ-

ing the greater sage grouse.

A threatened or endangered listing for sage grouse could severely impede oil, gas and wind energy development in the West. Federal and state officials both say they don’t want that to happen. The legal settlement started a clock ticking to protect sage grouse habitat and avert listing.

Meanwhile, the BLM has been looking at taking elements of a much-lauded sage grouse conservation strategy pioneered in Wyoming to other states.

Wyoming’s strategy designated core areas of sage grouse habitat where there are certain restrictions on development.

Greater sage grouse inhabit as much as 47 million acres of BLM land in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, the Dakotas, Oregon, Utah and Wyoming. The interim policy focuses on habitat where the birds breed, raise their young and concentrate during the winter.

Hosted by the city of Roswell, the event will also feature a tour of the new facility.

“It’s a great addition to the city,” Salas said of the new station, which is larger and can house more equipment than its former location, which is set to close today or Friday. Salas said the new station can accommodate 15 people and eight pieces of equipment.

Salas said the new station is part of a 50-year plan, one that projects that it may someday be Roswell’s main station.

Currently, the main station is the centrally located fire station at 200 S. Richardson Ave. Former Fire Station No. 3 was built in 1963.

Roswell has six fire stations, Salas said, and together have 91 personnel members.

In November, spending rose 4.1 percent. And from Dec. 1 to Dec. 24, it rose 4.7 percent compared with the same period last year, according to research firm ShopperTrak. A 4 percent increase is considered a healthy season.

The higher sales are good news for the economy, because they show shoppers were willing to fund a holiday splurge despite high unemployment and other lingering economic woes. Consumer spending, including major items such as health care, accounts for 70 percent of the economy.

Iran’s threat to seal off the Gulf, surrounded by oil-rich Gulf states, reflect its concer ns over the prospect that the Obama administration will impose sanctions over its nuclear program that would severely hit its biggest revenue source.

Funding for increased access to AP programs would mean that school districts could pay all or a portion of test fees for eligible low-income students. Students in the 10th grade also would be able to take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, or PSAT, free.

“These are the tools that will not only help our students attend college, but also make sure they have the best opportunity to graduate,” said Higher Then the frenzy tapered off. A mild winter and the fact that Christmas fell on a Sunday encouraged people to wait until the last minute and accentuated the peaks and valleys of spending.

Stores started to push more discounts to get shoppers to spend in the finale.

In fact, retailers’ promotional e-mails from Sunday, Dec. 18, to Thursday, Dec. 22, spiked 34 percent, compared with the same period a year ago, according to Responsys, which tracks e-mail activity from more than 100 merchants.

According to Beemer’s consumer surveys, 60 percent of shoppers polled were looking for discounts of more than 50 percent to get them to buy. That’s up from last year’s 51 percent of shoppers polled.

In the week before Christmas, last-minute shoppers gave retailers a 4.5 percent increase in revenue over the same week last year at stores open at least a year, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs Weekly Chain Store Sales Index. The index estimates sales at 24 major chain stores including Macy’s Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corp.

Revenue at stores open at least a year is an important measure of a retailer’s per for mance because it excludes stores that open or close during the year.

For the week that ended Nov. 26, which included the traditional start of holiday shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, stores had the biggest sales surge from the week before since 1993, according to the ICSC-Goldman Sachs index.

The post-Black Friday lull was deeper than usual.

The two weeks after Thanksgiving weekend showed the biggest percentage sales decline since 2000.

Then, during the final two weeks before Christmas, sales surged again, by the highest rate since 2005, according to Michael P. Niemira, chief economist at the International Council of Shopping Centers.

Stores are expected to benefit when shoppers come back to spend gift cards, because people often spend more than the cards’ value. In addition, gift card sales are recorded only when shoppers redeem them.

People have more money on their cards to spend.

According to an ICSC-Goldman Sachs survey of shoppers conducted Sunday, 18 percent of holiday spending went toward gift cards, up from 14.6 percent last year.

A total sales figure for the whole season won’t be available until after Dec. 31. And a fuller holiday spending picture will come Jan. 5, when stores including Target Corp. and Macy’s release December sales figures. Government retail sales data will be released in mid-January.

Muddling into 2012 no different than ages past

We’re about to celebrate 2012.

For New Mexico, it’s the statehood centennial, but for some, it’s Armageddon.

We’ve been hearing doomsday predictions for a few years now, primarily because ancient Mayans supposedly prophesied the end of the Earth on Dec. 21, 2012. Well, they didn’t prophesy, exactly, but their Long Count Calendar ends on winter solstice 2012.

Maybe they just ran out of room.

Anthropological interpretations vary, but one is that Mayans viewed time in cycles. So one cycle ends next year on Dec. 21, and another begins.

It fuels expectations of both doomsday and the dawn of a new spiritual era. Either way, somebody will make money from it, and the Coming End has already been a bonanza to special-effects artists in movies like “2012.”

A new generation of veterans is returning home, and after the celebrations end, we must treat the war that returns with them in their minds and bodies.

They will also need jobs.

Lately, in connection to some centennial-related research, I’ve been r eading about another unpopular conflict, the Mexican War. This one, between the United States and Mexico, was

ostensibly over a stretch of border. T exas, after becoming a state in 1846, wanted a border on the Rio Grande; Mexico, which lost Texas 10 years earlier, wanted a border on the Nueces River.

Our ar my provoked Mexico into a war she didn’t r eally want. Northern states resented being dragged into a trifling regional squabble. President Polk tried to fight this war on the cheap; soldiers, who enlisted or volunteered out of patriotism, were often without adequate rations, tents and even clothing.

General Zachary Taylor had his own doubts about the war.

Soldiers back then had an expr ession: “seeing the elephant.” They left home filled with ambitions to serve their country, become heroes on the battlefield, and win an easy victory.

Then they saw the elephant — privation, illness, feuding generals, the horrors of the battle-

field, civilian casualties, greedy quartermasters. The enemy was better pr epar ed and fought harder than they anticipated; disease took more lives than bullets. One returning soldier said he’d seen the elephant, and it was far bigger and uglier than he imagined.

For the blood spilled, Texas got its border and an unimpressive chunk of borderland, and the United States got New Mexico and California (which may have been the object of the war).

After they’d gotten a good look at New Mexico, its impoverished citizens, and its hostile Apaches and Navajos, more than one military officer proposed giving New Mexico back.

Reading history, I’m always struck by how difficult it was for those who prepared the way for us. They must have despaired of the future. They muddled on. We will too.

Find a way to give

We’ve given thanks to God during Hanukkah, and now, we round off Christmas and head toward New Year’s Day. These are good times, and here are some reasons why.

All over the country, people are walking into retail stores and paying off layaway items for perfect strangers. ABC’s “Nightline” last week featured a video from the Orange County Register that showed a family in tears after going to retrieve layaway Christmas presents — having scrounged together just enough cash — only to find that some anonymous donor had paid the bill. It’s called the “Secret Santa” phenomenon.

Please, if you have been blessed with financial stability, consider paying off layaway bills for perfect strangers, donate to a charity of your choice, or find some other way to commit a random act of anonymous kindness for strangers. Find a way to create the collective Santa and make this world a better place.

A nationally broadcast commercial for Progressive Insurance features its popular male hero, The Messenger, feeding expired meters in downtown Colorado Springs, Colo.

“With the hundreds I’ve saved at Progressive, this meter is on me,” The Messenger says.

Do as The Messenger does. If you can afford to, feed meters as you walk past them.

Spending a dime to save someone $25 serves as a random act of kindness by a stranger, for a stranger. It makes our world a better place.

Tim Tebow has become among the country’s A-list celebrities for doing good deeds.

It’s like Mother Teresa in the backfield. He donated his $2.5 million signing bonus, along with funds he has helped raise, to build a children’s hospital in the Philippines.

He visits prison inmates and inspires them with talks. He doesn’t booze it up and get arrested. He humbles himself before God. He is a hero to children. He makes the world a better place.

A Colorado woman’s car was stolen from the parking lot of her apartment complex and stripped for parts. It was also stripped of the gifts she had hidden in the trunk for her 7-year-old daughter. The woman had no money to replace the gifts, so Christmas looked dim for the girl. When word got out, members of the community stepped forward — mostly in anonymous fashion — to make sure the girl would have Christmas and the family would recover from the crime. The donors made this world a better place.

We encourage everyone — the poor, the middle-class and, particularly, the rich — to find a way to give. Take inspiration from Secret Santas. Donate your time or resources. Or take inspiration from Tebow and donate a corporate bonus. Take inspiration from a TV ad, as even a dime or quarter can go a long way toward helping another person get through the day. Find someone who has been wronged, and try to make things right.

To those who give selflessly, the holiday season is nothing less than a joyous occasion.

Guest Editorial The Colorado Springs Gazette DEAR DOCTOR K: Although some members of my family have heart disease, I haven’t been diagnosed with it. I know people with current cardiovascular problems should take aspirin, but should I be taking it to prevent future problems?

DEAR READER: Your question seems simple enough. I wish I had a simple answer. The problem is that aspirin, like virtually all medical treatments, has benefits and risks. The main risk of aspirin is bleeding. But for people who have heart disease, regularly taking low-dose aspirin definitely reduces the risk of heart attacks in

Reflections on Hitchen’s death Everyone who holds a pen has a Christopher Hitchens story, apparently.

Here’s mine: Back in the late 1980s, when I was a 20-something unwed mother and an assistant editor at National Review, I debated Christopher Hitchens at the Yale Political Union.

The topic, as I recall, was South Africa.

Afterward, Hitchens invited me to join him and a gaggle of admiring Yale students, which, given the way conservatives were typically treated in academic settings, struck

For some people, the decision to take aspirin is easy. If a person has coronary artery disease — blockage of the arteries of the heart — he or she should take aspirin. The same is true if someone

me as an unusually civilized gesture.

We got to talking about my work and my life, and I told him I was pro-life and — as a result of having had a child out of wedlock — pro-marriage as well.

He, at that time an unal-

has had the type of stroke caused by a blood clot (called an ischemic stroke).

In these cases, the benefits from aspirin are far greater than the risks (unless someone has an allergy to aspirin, or a bleeding tendency).

Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes heart attacks, but many people who have this disease have never had a heart attack. If their doctor has told them that they have CAD, they should take aspirin — even if they have never had a heart attack.

Why? Because it will greatly reduce their risk of ever having one.

So far, so good. Now comes the more complicat-

loyed man of the left, avowed he had rather old-fashioned views on questions like abortion and not breaking up families with divorce.

Meanwhile, just a few years before the Berlin Wall came crashing down, the gaggle of Yalies questioned me selfimportantly about why conservatives were so stupidly ignorant of the finer points of evolving Marxist theory.

“When you disagree with something at a more basic level,” I replied, “addressing the finer point of emerging Marxist doctrines is not that interesting.”

ed part. You could have CAD, or similar disease of the arteries in the brain (which increases stroke risk), and not know it. You could have what’s called “silent” CAD. It hasn’t caused you any symptoms, so your doctor hasn’t checked for it. Unfortunately, silent CAD is very common.

If your risk of having silent CAD is high, for you the benefits of aspirin are greater than the risks. If your risk of CAD is low, the risks of aspirin are greater than the benefits. In those at low risk, aspirin is more likely to cause bleeding in See DR. K, Page A5

25 YEARS AGO

When I picked up “Hitch22,” Hitchens’ memoir published in 2010, I discovered how he perhaps got those convictions.

He was a child of desertion, if not divorce — doubly so, shockingly so.

As a mother, I could read only with horror what Hitchens wrote with a beloved son’s tender compassion about the story of his mother’s suicide.

Hitchens was his mother’s darling. “If there is going to be an upper class in this coun-

What kind of plants are needed to create wreaths?

Roswell Daily Record

Q. I have seen many beautiful wreaths and centerpieces this year and want to try making my own. What plants can I grow to produce the greenery and berries for my own wreaths?

A. There are numerous plants growing in New Mexico landscapes and in our natural environment that are used in wreaths, or could be used in wreaths.

Common landscape plants that are useful are photinia, pyracantha, and nandina for broadleaf foliage and berries. The large leaves of photinia could be used as green bows with red berries at the center. The pyracantha and nandina plants have smaller leaves that are useful as greenery and bright red or orange berries to add color to wreaths and cen-

terpieces.

Pines provide green needles and woody cones for use in wreaths. Spruce and fir also grow in New Mexico at higher elevations and in the north. They are also useful for their green needles. The spruce cones are also attractive. In southern New Mexico, true cedars (Cedrus species) grow well and produce needles similar to spruce needles.

Arborvitae and juniper are also common in New Mexico. They provide greenery and cones. The juniper cones are bluish berry-like cones while the arborvitae cones are small woody cones. The greenery of juniper is quite prickly, while arborvitae greenery is softer and easier to use in making wreaths.

Grape vines, Virginia creeper, and Boston ivy

grow well in New Mexico.

Their deciduous vines can be used to form the structure for wreaths and the foundation for many centerpieces. English ivy retains its leaves and can be used for centerpiece foundations, wreath structure, and greenery. Many people like to spray paint some elements of wreaths.

You can do that to the pine cones, or apply glitter to them. However, in New Mexico, we have many gray or silver-leafed plants that can add a unique texture and color to wreaths and centerpieces. Four -wing

betrayal of a child — even an adult child — by a mother I cannot imagine. To commit suicide out of despair is one kind of abandonment. To commit suicide with a lover is the ultimate rejection.

This incident probably had nothing to do with Hitchens’ intellectual convictions about God, but surely it explains at least in part the relentless energy he put into debunking religious claims of goodness. He was not just an atheist, but an “antitheist.”

Faith in God leads to evil and hypocrisy, in his view.

So how can you tell what your risk of having CAD is?

You can actually do a good job of estimating it. We link to several online calculators on the Harvard Health Publications website: www.health.harvard.edu/147. If you don’t use the Web, have someone do it for you.

These calculators ask about your age, gender, cholesterol, smoking, blood pressure and other risk factors.

Using that information, they calculate your risk of having a heart attack in the next 10 years. Recent research

suggests that taking aspirin has the most benefit if your 10-year risk is above 10.6 percent. If it is below 6 percent, the benefits are small. My risk is currently 16 percent, and I take a daily aspirin. I also exercise every day and eat healthy — most of the time.

But don’t start taking aspirin on your own: Talk to your doctor! The risk of bleeding complications from aspirin rises with age. Men are about twice as likely as women to have gastrointestinal bleeding. Your doctor will be able to help you weigh the benefits against the risks.

Southwestern appearance.

However, these must be used with care because of the risk posed to the centerpiece designer and to guests by their spines.

Cholla skeletons are safer and can be used to create a foundation for a centerpiece with any of the other material listed above, or alone to create a unique sculpture that adds a distinctive Southwestern flare to decorations.

Also, consider dried grass flower spikes, dried stems from other plants, and the numerous other plants that are readily available in our home landscapes and our natural landscape. Do not forget that you can use chiles (individually, in clusters, or in ristras), onion and garlic braids. These are easily grown in New Mexico gardens and very useful in

wreaths and centerpieces.

Chile pods come in many sizes and shapes and will make a distinctively New Mexico decoration.

RDR Business Review Page is a great way to advertise - now with new, lower rates!

The Roswell Daily Record’s Business Review Page is a great way for a business to advertise. The Business Review Pages run three times a week, in the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday papers.

There are a few spots available right now on the Tuesday and Thursday pages. We usually have a “waiting list”.

The Daily Record’s Sarah Juarez (or your ad rep) can fill you in on the complete details. Phone Sarah at 622-7710 - ext. 202.

The basic setup for the Business Review Page is as follows: You sign up and we run your ad on the bottom half of the Business Review Page on it’s assigned day (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday) each week. We have a maximum of twenty-six ads running per page.

After advertising weekly for six months, you will receive a “free feature article” (then another one six months after your first free one and another one six months after that) as our “Thank You!” for advertising on the Business Review Page.

This six month schedule comes from having up to twenty-six (maximum) advertisers per page and a fifty-two week year.

With ads starting as low as $21.43 (including tax) per week, the Business Review Page is ideal for businesses large and small to obtain effective advertising on a small budget. The old rate was $26.78, including tax.

The feature article typically uses two photographs and the equivalent of two double-spaced typewritten pages of information about your business. It’s an ad that looks like a written story.

This info usually consists of what you have to offer (services and/or product); who you are (history); where you are located; when you are open; and how to get in touch with you.

The typical layout can be altered to fit your circumstance. If you want more pictures, we can cut down on the article’s length. We do what ever works best for you.

Bill Flynt is the Business Review Page Editor. Bill takes the photographs and either writes the text (with your input,) or uses an article that you provide for your feature

story. We can also use your photographs, if you have ones that you want to use.

Many local business owners (like the three pictured here) have found this feature to be an ideal way for them to advertise economically. They have an ad in the Roswell Daily Record once a week, on their regular day, and then they have a half page writeup with pictures twice a year to tell the story of their business.

Please call Sarah Juarez at 622-7710, ext. 202, for complete information and prices.

In this economy you’ve got to advertise to stay in business, and the Roswell Daily Record's Business Review Page is an effective way to do it, especially now with the new, lower rates.

Call now while there are still spaces available. It’s a great deal and you will see more customers coming in the front door of your business when you advertise in the newspaper. Advertising in the Roswell Daily Record works because it is a great way to inform people about your business.

You can tell if your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system needs cleaning by one of two easy ways. To inspect your air ducts, first, with a screwdriver, remove a floor or wall register. Then, 1) Use a small mirror and flashlight -or- 2) Use a digital camera to take a picture inside the duct. If there is visible dust, dirt or debris, you should have your ducts cleaned.

NM centennial project brings spotlight to women

The State Centennial Women’s Oral History Project is a labor of love aimed at celebrating the lives of everyday New Mexicans.

“History is really made by everyday people,” says Diaz, a research and oral

historian who is retired from the University of New Mexico General Library.

“They put one foot in front of the other and, regardless of their challenges or barriers, they’re going to make life better,” she says.

And their stories aren’t often found in history books.

So Diaz has set about recording them, an ambitious undertaking to chronicle the experiences of all sorts of women throughout New Mexico.

The materials produced from each woman’s interviews — transcripts of about 80 pages and videos of an hour or longer — will go into local libraries or other repositories and into the state Records Center and Archives, which will per manently house the collection and catalog it for public use.

Diaz says it’s a way for women’s community- and family-focused work — often performed without pay or recognition — to become part of documented history.

And the centennial offers a great opportunity to examine “‘Who is a New Mexican?’ and to tell that story through a wider prism than we’ve seen in the past,” Diaz says.

For example, that could mean interviewing newcomers who will help shape New Mexico in the future, as well as oldtimers.

“I think a lot about who isn’t in the picture, and how do we get them there,” Diaz says.

And it means recognizing the contributions of dozens of ethnic groups, pushing beyond the notion of New Mexico as “tricultural”: Hispanic, Anglo and Native American.

“While the tricultural thing is good boosterism, I think it’s bad history,” says Diaz, who held numerous administrative and archival positions at the UNM library more than 25 years and earned her doctorate in history from Arizona State University.

Diaz has been planning for years to do the oral histories and originally envisioned interviewing 100 women as part of a project she hoped would be underwritten by the state’s centennial arm.

That support never materialized, but Diaz forged ahead with a pilot project, interviewing women of her choosing and bearing much of the cost herself. She has completed seven interviews

and is accepting nominations for the next round of interviews.

Sandra Jaramillo, former director of the state Records Center and Archives, says the project’s interviews will help plug a big gap in women’s history, citing the lack of documents written by or about women — especially before they were part of the paid workforce.

“Sometimes, oral histories are all we have to document the human experience, or an historical event that has occurred,” Jaramillo says.

Diaz started the State Centennial Women’s Oral History Project last year with a handful of women, including one who turned 100 before New Mexico did: the late Exerlona Clayton Bramlett of Albuquerque, who died last month.

Born in 1910, Bramlett was one of 10 children of prominent members of the city’s African-American community. Her father was a barber and her mother a seamstress who was active in church and civic and social organizations.

A widow when she died, she was married to Henry Bramlett, the grandson of a Buffalo Soldier, for 63

New Mexico’s commuter rail service will begin testing a “quiet car” next week in which passengers will speak in subdued voices and refrain from cellphone use.

The Rail Runner Express will launch the 90-day trial period on Tuesday to test the “quiet car” on certain early and afternoon trains.

Operators of the rail system say hundreds of passengers in a survey earlier this year said they would use such a car.

Riders will be surveyed again after the trial period ends in late March.

The rail system runs from Belen to Albuquerque and then north to Santa Fe. It’s a corridor serving about 600,000 people.

Occupy Santa Fe

SANTA FE (AP) — Occupy protesters who have camped out at Santa Fe’s Railyard Park for the past two months may be breaking up on their own.

Cary Johnson, one of the original camp leaders, tells the Santa Fe New Mexican that he’s fed up with dangerous conditions in the park, including drunks and drug addicts threatening campers, and that he’s not going back.

A half-dozen other campers also say they won’t go back and that many of the tents in the park already are sitting empty.

Another protester, Nicholas Battista, says that about 15 to 20 people still sleep in the camp overnight but that it may

be time to close it down.

He says the camp has become a haven for drunks and the mentally ill and that he’s worried about the potential for violence.

Traveling cat ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A cat that went missing in New Mexico while on a trip with a man bicycling across the country to raise money for animal shelters has been found.

Twenty-one-year-old Ted Brady and his kitten, Pikachu, had been on a two-month bike trip that began Oct. 19 in Bartlesville, Okla., when the feline went missing earlier this week in the Albuquerque Bosque.

KOAT reports that Brady and a search party scoured the area for Pikachu for

three days without luck, and that Brady had to leave to get to Las Vegas for a job.

But a Bosque family taking Christmas decorations to their shed Tuesday found Pikachu inside, sitting on a blanket.

They rushed him to a local pet hospital and he’s being taken care of by one of the people who searched for him until he can be reunited with Brady.

years and raised three children. She worked for nearly six decades as a caterer and was a member of Mount Olive Baptist Church and other organizations for more than 75 years.

Among her memories: her mother and other women raising a fuss after Exerlona and other black graduates of Albuquerque High School were segregated at their graduation ceremony.

The “incredible amount of continuity” women like Bramlett bring to their communities should be recognized and honored, Diaz says.

“They don’t do it out of, ‘Who’s going to look at me?’ They do it because they see a need and they step in,” Diaz adds.

Diaz says Bramlett illustrates the “family, faith and fortitude” that has emerged as a theme in interview after interview.

“Don’t let anything stop you from doing what you want to do. That’s the common thread through all of these,” she says.

Mesa del Sol had initially hoped to break ground on homes in 2009 and have residents living in 100 homes there by early 2010.

The economic downturn and the soft housing market resulted in a delay.

The first homes will be available for sale in the spring.

The builders include Paul Allen Green Built Homes, Pulte Homes, Rachel Matthew Homes and RayLee Homes.

Mesa del Sol’s vice president of development, Chris Anderson, calls it a very exciting time for the community.

Ultimately, Mesa del Sol will have more than 37,000 homes when it’s fully built over the next 30 to 40 years.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a strong sense of direction, and others tap into it. If you feel that a situation is off, trust your judgment. Your instincts work with those in charge as well. The timing is great if you have been waiting for the right time to make a request. Tonight: Get some sleep.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Reach out for a distant friend. Speaking to you means a lot to quite a few people. Buy tickets to a concert or some other musical event. You will relax in this environment as you rarely do. Tonight: Go for something entertaining.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Have that discussion now rather than later. You discover how much is going on that you might have missed out on.

Listen well to what is said.

Ask for feedback. Don’t be surprised by how someone is changing right in front of your very eyes. Tonight: Togetherness works.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You discover that letting others run with the ball works for you right now. No one is challenging you by wanting to do a project his or her way. Respond to someone from a distance who might be reaching out to you. Tonight: Let the medium entertain you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Don’t push to have a situation go the way you want it to. Know that you can handle nearly anything given time and thought. A child or new friend invigorates your day with his or her innate charm and caring. Tonight: Only with favorite people.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You know your priorities, but might need to loosen up some in order to obtain the desired results. If a call comes through from a neighbor or family member, do be available. Your work situation transforms before your very eyes. Tonight: Know when to call it a day.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.

1 mile west of Lincoln, NM Hwy 380 mm 96 575-653-4041 Complimentary Glass of Raspberry Wine

21) Allow more creativity and humor to come forward. Your sense of direction helps sort out your priorities. Don’t forget that making yourself happy is also a priority. Examine what is occurring with a neighbor or family member.

You might not be in tune with his or her life. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21) You finally decide to take a hard look at your finances. You have the ability to revamp your situation and gain. You could be surprised by what is going on behind the scenes. Build a greater sense of security between you and a close

friend. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19) Clear out as much as you can from 2011 as you prepare for the new year. Communication changes in nature and gives you important feedback.

You also are not the same person as you were years before. Understand that you will always need to adjust.

Tonight: Share with friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be reflecting on a way of observing what is going on.

Stay clear about your desires. You might have gone down the wrong path.

Know what feels right, and

Beer on Tap

follow through on just that.

Tonight: Do something just for you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You hold far more together than you realize. Honor your natural limitations, even if others don’t appear to do the same. Your ability to communicate and bring groups together in a cohesive manner is reflected in both your personal and private lives.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

Youth has its advantages and disadvantages.

One advantage is that most young teams don’t get caught up in the hoopla of looking past the team it has to play on that night.

The Roswell boys basketball team was a per fect example of that on Wednesday.

With a matchup against Grants, and possibly No. 1 Goddard, looming, the Coyotes handily beat Chaparral 79-52 in the opening round of the Poe Cor n Invitational at the Coyote Den. “I think sometimes that is a benefit,” Roswell coach Britt Cooper said when asked if he thought this team was just too young to be bothered by a possible matchup against two very good teams.

“I think, sometimes, you just don’t know any better.

That’s a good thing about it. I think they enjoy playing enough that they just want to play them one game at a time. That’s what we try to preach to them; if they do that, we’ll be fine.”

The Coyotes (6-0) were better than “fine” on Wednesday.

Fueled by a hounding defense and an of fense that simply found ways to score, Roswell ran over the

Lobos.

The Coyotes forced 12 first-quarter tur novers with Cooper’s trademark press and converted seven of those tur novers into points.

Chaparral was within three with 3:20 left in the opening quarter, but Roswell forced four straight tur novers and pieced together a 10-0 run over the next minute.

Marquel Warner bookended 3-pointers by Cesar Nava and Saul Carrillo by hitting two pairs of free throws during the run that made it 19-6.

The triumverant then combined to score all nine of Roswell’s points during a 9-4 run to end the quarter, which pushed the Coyote lead to 28-10 after one.

“I was pleased with the first and third quarters, I thought we played really well,” Cooper said. “I thought, overall, we did a pretty good job.

“It was good pressure defense. I’m sure we forced into 30-plus them turnovers.”

It was 27 turnovers to be exact, but it felt like double that to Chaparral.

The Lobo offense never got on track because more than half of those 27 miscues came in the backcourt.

TEXANS’ DC WADE PHILLIPS RETURNS

HOUSTON (AP) — Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips returned to the practice field Wednesday, two weeks after undergoing kidney and gall bladder surgery.

Phillips went on medical leave Dec. 14. Linebackers coach Reggie Herring ran the defense in his absence, and the Texans lost their next two games.

The 64-year-old Phillips surprised his players when he showed up at a meeting Monday. The Texans (10-5) were back at practice on Wednesday to prepare for the regular-season finale against Tennessee (8-7).

“It’s good to be back,” Phillips said. “It’s not as funny now as it was before I was going in. I’m a little more sore than I thought I’d be. It’s taken a lot out of me, but I’m working my way back, doing what the doctors say.”

Phillips mingled with his players during the practice, but walked to the sideline late in the workout to sit on a golf cart with his father, Bum, the former coach of the Houston Oilers.

Coach Gary Kubiak is hoping Phillips will feel strong enough to work from the press box Sunday.

“It’s good to have him back,” Kubiak said. “I know it’s good with the players.

Got to be smart with him out here, make sure we don’t get him banged around. But it’s good to have him back out here and see that he’s feeling much better.”

Phillips was hospitalized for eight days, and says he’s only now getting back to eating regular food.

Los Alamos’ one man show of Nick Baker wasn’t enough to top the dynamic duo of the Rockets’ Chase Salazar and Lane Vander Hulst in a 59-45 Goddard victory.

Vander Hulst started the game of f on a tear. The senior post scored six of Goddar d’s first eight points and ended two of Los Alamos’ first thr ee possessions with a block and a steal.

within four, but couldn’t take the lead.

At the start of the second half, Vander Hulst gave momentum back to Goddard.

He started the half with a floater and on the other end of the floor came up with a steal. On the ensuing Goddard possession,

Vander Hulst grabbed an errant shot and got a layup while getting fouled.

He nailed the free throw to give the Rockets a 2819 lead just 39 seconds into the quarter.

By the end of the third quarter, Goddard had grown its lead to 12 and Los Alamos didn’t get

closer than nine points the rest of the way.

Goddard coach Kevin Jones said he wasn’t pleased with the performance, but will take the win.

“A win is a win. I am not real happy with how we won, but we won,” he said. “We are just giving

up too many easy shots ... but it is getting better. I thought that they played harder than we did. That is unacceptable.

“We have to come and compete. ... We did a lot of good things. I just want us to be farther along than where we are now.”

Vander Hulst finished

with 20 points, 13 rebounds, four blocks and two steals, while Salazar chipped in with 16 points, three rebounds, three steals and two assists.

Baker led Los Alamos with 23 points, 10 rebounds and three assists.

it wide open and ended any hope of a Lobo comeback in the third quarter.

Carrillo scored the final six points of a 14-5 run to open the quarter, which had Roswell’s lead up to 30 with 4:04 left.

Roswell had the lead to

as many as 33 in the second half on its way to a 27-point win.

The Coyote offense was led by Warner and Carrillo, but 11 different players scored in total.

“That’s the good thing about it. It’s not just one

guy every night,” Cooper said about the myriad of offensive weapons.

“We’ve got guys that can step it up. One of them will pick it up and then another kind of takes up the slack from there.

That’s nice to have.”

Warner finished with a game-high 19 points to pace Roswell, while Carrillo added 17.

Fer nando Lujan and Johnnail Leonard had eight each and Nava chipped in seven.

Abraham Arias led

Chaparral with 15.

Ravens already in playoff mode vs Bengals

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens do not care that the Cincinnati Bengals can reach the playoffs with a victory Sunday. The Ravens aren’t interested in the number of tickets the Bengals have sold for their home finale.

Call them selfish, but the Ravens have reached the point in the season when they are concerned only about themselves.

Even though they are already assured a fourth straight trip to the postseason, the Ravens’ incentive to win Sunday is every bit as strong as that of the Bengals. With a victory, Baltimore (11-4) will earn a first-round bye and the chance to improve its 8-0 record at home.

“It’s about us, man. It’s not about them,” Ravens defensive end Cory Redding said Wednesday. “We need to get this win so we can get what we’re looking for: a bye week and home-field advantage.”

Those are perks that Baltimore does not take lightly. A year ago, after beating Kansas City on the road in the wild-card round, the Ravens blew a 14-point halftime lead at Pittsburgh and were eliminated in a 31-24 defeat.

If Baltimore beats Cincinnati, it wins the AFC North and will secure no worse than a No. 2 seed. A loss, and it’s likely the Ravens will hit the road as a No. 5 seed.

That’s why winning on Sunday is so important.

“It’s huge. It makes a world of difference,” running back Ray Rice said. “Not having that bye, you usually come back into that next game scratching and clawing. As you could see, Pittsburgh was the fresher team last year when we had to play them in the divisional game. Second half, they came out with their motor running and we came out high, and then we hit a low.

“Needless to say, this week is a playoff game. It’s big for them but even bigger for us.”

Cincinnati (9-6) staged a two-for-one promotion for season ticket holders to sell out the stadium. The ploy worked, giving the Bengals only their second sellout of the season. But Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis viewed the development as irrelevant.

“Whether there’s one person in the seats or whether there are 60,000 in the stands, we don’t care. That’s their problem,” he said.

“We don’t have to worry about selling out.

We have to worry about trying to keep people out. We have a different vibe in Baltimore. That’s a credit to our city, a credit to our fans.”

Lewis and the Ravens would love nothing more than to treat the fans in Baltimore to another home game — or maybe two if the Ravens beat the Bengals and New England falls to Buffalo. Being in the playoffs is satisfying, but Lewis knows the road to the Super Bowl will be easier to travel if the journey begins with a rest stop and continues at M&T Bank Stadium.

“This is a playoff game,” he said. “The thing is, they’re trying to get in and we’re already in. We have to go finish what we started, what we’ve been working on the whole year. We know that we’re playing for home-field advantage. We know how big that is, to come play in Baltimore. There is nothing else on our mind.”

It’s hard to determine whether the bye or the home game is more important to the Ravens. The week off would enable several players to allow their injuries to heal, most notably receiver Anquan Boldin (knee) and guard Marshal Yanda (rib and thigh bruises).

Chiefs’ season-long struggles in red zone costly

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs’ first three trips inside Green Bay’s 20-yard line two weeks ago netted them a pair of field goals. So did their first three trips against Oakland last Sunday.

Suffice to say, Kansas City’s red zone offense has interim coach Romeo Crennel seeing red.

There is little rhyme or reason to the Chiefs’ ability to move the ball downfield, then have everything come undone when they’re on the doorstep of scoring touchdowns. But their inability to come away with seven points instead of just three might be the biggest reason they’re playing for pride, rather than an AFC West title, when they visit Denver on Sunday.

“It’s never one guy in this business. It’s always part of a team effort,” Crennel said.

“We’ve been able to get down to the red zone, we just haven’t been able to produce.”

It proved especially costly in an overtime loss to the Raiders.

Kansas City marched to the Oakland 12 late in the first quarter before a short pass completion and a pair of runs by Jackie Battle and Thomas Jones gained just 7 yards. Ryan Succop came on for what amounted to an extra-point try, though the Chiefs would have preferred that to be the case.

At least they got three points out of that trip.

Their next one was even uglier.

Kansas City had second-and-1 at the Raiders 8 when Jones was called for a false start. Now with a more substantial distance for a first down, Kyle Orton was forced to throw. His first pass was dropped by Dwayne Bowe in the end zone, and his next was intercepted by Matt Giordano, the second time in two weeks the Chiefs’ didn’t score any points on a drive inside the red zone.

Late in the third quarter, the Chiefs faced first-and-goal at the Raiders 6 and managed another field goal, leaving them in a 10-6 hole rather than a tie game.

“If we were able to get that touchdown, just a score sometimes changes the mentality on your team for that particular game.

Instead of guys saying, ‘Here we go again,’ guys say, ‘OK, we made it happen,”’ Crennel said. “Getting down there is encouraging, so now what we have to do is refine some things so we can get points on the board rather than coming away with nothing.”

It’s unlikely the Chiefs will solve their red zone woes before facing Denver on Sunday.

After all, it’s hard to figure out exactly who or what is to blame.

Besides, the problems have existed all season.

Kansas City has scored a touchdown on red zone trips just 33 percent of the time; the league-leading Jets have doubled that rate.

By comparison, the Chiefs scored touchdowns on 59.62 percent of their trips last year, when they went 10-6 and won the division.

Inexplicably, the Chiefs are even worse at home, where they don’t have to deal with hostile crowd noise. They’ve scored TDs on only 23.81 percent of their red zone trips at Arrowhead Stadium.

Going deeper inside the numbers, Kansas City ranks 25th in the league in red zone attempts at 2.4 per game. That’s roughly half the number of trips of the league-leading Saints.

No wonder the Chiefs’ are 31st in the league in scoring.

“We’ve done a lot of good things,” Orton said, “but we have a lot to improve on.”

It’s easy to blame the play-calling of new offensive coordinator Bill Muir, or the direction of former head coach Todd Haley, who was fired a few weeks ago. It’s also easy to blame general manager Scott Pioli for not building enough depth to deal with seasonending injuries to Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Cassel, All-Pro running back Jamaal Charles and starting tight end Tony Moeaki.

But there’s still enough blame left over for the guys actually on the field.

The Chiefs’ running game, which led the league last season, has produced only four TDs rushing all year, and one of them was by defensive back Javier Arenas out of the wildcat formation. There are 37 players in the NFL with at least four touchdowns rushing, four of them quarterbacks.

Kansas City’s ground game averages 4.02 yards per carry outside the red zone, but that mark dips to 3.0 yards once the Chiefs cross the opponents’ 20. Jones is averaging just 2.3 yards on a team-high 19 carries inside the red zone, well below his career mark of 4.0 yards per attempt.

The struggles aren’t limited to the running game.

Orton is completing 47.2 percent of his passes inside the red zone. Bowe has only seven catches for 49 yards and three scores after piling up an NFL-best 15 touchdown catches last season, and free agent acquisition Steve Breaston has four catches for 30 yards in prime scoring territory.

“Guys have to look in the mirror and know they’re giving their best effort,” Crennel said. “Like I said, it’s never one guy.

It’s not always players. Coaches have to do some things better, put guys in better position, better technique. All those things come into play.”

team on Wednesday at the Goddard Holiday Classic.

Rocket (4-8) coach Greg Torres said that he was pleased with his team’s effort.

“I think, overall, the effort was there,” he said.

“We just missed a ton of shots. For whatever reason, we haven’t been able to put the ball in the hole. We just can’t seem to put up the type of points we need, but the effort was there.”

Dolphins T Long placed on injured reserve

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Miami Dolphins left tackle Jake Long went on injured reserve Wednesday with a torn right biceps, meaning he’ll miss the team’s final game Sunday against the New York Jets.

The move came one day after Long was chosen a Pro Bowl starter for the third consecutive year. He endured an injury-filled season, including a back ailment that forced him to miss two games after he started the first 61 games of his career.

Long suffered the arm injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s loss at New England.

“It’s definitely disappointing — not the way I wanted to end the season,” he said.

“I’m going to get healthy and come into next year the healthiest I’ve been in the NFL.” Three other players missed practice Wednesday due to injuries — running back Reggie Bush (knee), tackle Marc Colombo (ankle) and cornerback Jimmy Wilson (hamstring). Receiver Brandon Marshall (knee) was limited. The Dolphins didn’t specify whether the injuries were on the right or left side.

Tight end Anthony Fasano returned to practice after missing last week’s game because of a concussion.

To fill Long’s spot on the roster, the Dolphins signed running back Richard Medlin from the practice squad. He signed with New England as a rookie free agent in August and was released at the end of training camp.

Cowboys need another road win vs. Giants Roswell Daily Record

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas was in desperate need of a victory when Jason Garrett made his successful head coaching debut with a win on the road against the New York Giants midway through last season.

The Cowboys are back in a similar situation, and there is even more on the line as Garrett has come full circle.

Garrett’s 24th game, the finale of his first full regular season, is another trip to face the Giants. The winner Sunday night in the matchup of 8-7 teams clinches the NFC East title and the NFC’s last playoff spot, which will mean a home game in the wildcard round the following weekend.

“Whenever you put yourself in a position like that going into the final game of the season, you’ve done a lot of good things,” Garrett said. “We’ve had our share of excellent victories and we’ve had our share of disappointment just like every team in this league has.

And one of the best things our team has done individually and collectively we have played through the adversities and the successes we have had.”

It’s not Garrett’s style to reminisce about his head coaching debut, a surprising 33-20 win against the Giants. At least publicly, where he instead stresses to his players being their best each day and focusing only on what is directly ahead of them.

“It wasn’t for the playoffs, so it wasn’t as important as this game,” defensive end Marcus Spears said Wednesday. “I don’t think that has anything to do with this time.”

The winning debut by Garrett came six days after

Wade Phillips was fired and he was promoted from offensive coordinator. That provided some hope for a squad that began the 2010 season with Super Bowl expectations and then won only one of its first eight games. Dallas went 5-3 the rest of the way under Garrett.

Now comes a winner take-all finale that Dallas could have been able to avoid.

There was a 37-34 home loss three weeks ago against the Giants, who scored two touchdowns in the final 3 1/2 minutes to overcome a 12-point deficit. Had they held on, the Cowboys would have had a two-game division lead with three to play instead of being tied.

There was also an overtime loss at Arizona, when Garrett’s late timeout wiped out a go-ahead field goal by Dan Bailey at the end of regulation; the rookie missed the second attempt. There were two other losses this year when Dallas blew leads of at least 12 points in the fourth quarter — something that happened only twice in the franchise’s first 50 seasons.

In his normal fashion, Garrett dismissed the idea of being frustrated about those blown opportunities and instead is talking about the excitement of what’s possibly ahead.

“A lot of things go your way and some things don’t go your way. For us, things have gone our way enough to give us this chance,” Garrett said. “It’s going to be a great challenge, it’s going to be a great night.”

rival when they only had to win to get into the playoffs.

“It’s just sheer determination. Coach Garrett talks about will. It’s heart, determination,” said linebacker Bradie James, one of several key players who were also part of that 2008 game. “They know us, we know them. It’s really going to be whoever outlasts the other. That’s how you break it down. I like to keep it as simple as possible. In my mind, that’s our solution” Garrett was the offensive coordinator for the Cow-

boys back then, when they lost three of their last four games to miss the playoffs after that 44-6 debacle against the Eagles.

“That’s a lot of lifetimes ago. Our team has really changed a lot since then,” Garrett said. “I’d like to think that we’ve all grown individually as players, coaches and certainly as a football team. If you go about it the right way every day and approach it the right way and learn from the different experiences you certainly will do that.”

In the first of his seven

seasons as a backup quarterback for the Cowboys, Garrett was part of the 1993 finale on the road against the Giants. That game was also for the division title, with both teams already in the playoffs but fighting for a first-round bye.

Despite a separated shoulder, Emmitt Smith ran 32 times for 168 yards and had 10 catches for 61 yards in that game, a 1613 overtime victory for the Cowboys on the way to their second consecutive Super Bowl title.

“It was really one of the great games I’ve ever been around as a player or a coach. A lot of people talk about Emmitt’s performance and it was rare, maybe his best ever,” Garrett said. “To be there and witness that was really something special, but it was a great team effort as well.

“I don’t know that there is a great story to tell our team,” he said. “I think they understand the challenges we have every week and the challenges we have this week going up there.”

In this Dec. 18 file photo, Tennessee coach Mike Munchak listens during the fourth quarter of a game against the Indianapolis Colts.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Mike Munchak says he is not heading to Penn State as coach.

The Titans coach says Wednesday he’s flattered to be mentioned for his alma mater, but insists he loves what he’s doing in Tennessee.

“You all know Penn State means a lot to me. I obviously went to school there and I’m real concerned for what they’ve gone through the last couple of months.

I’m flattered that people think I’d be a great fit for the coach there,” Munchak said Wednesday after practice.

“They have not contacted me in any way or talked to me about the possibility of working there. I have not reached out to them. I have a job that I enjoy quite a bit.”

This is the third time since Paterno was fired that Munchak has denied interest in the job. He denied it

the day after Paterno was fired and again Dec. 2 when his name came up in connection with the opening. He was linked again Wednesday to the job and did his best to squash the idea he might leave the franchise he has worked for as either a player or coach since 1982.

The only assistance Munchak is ready and willing to give is advising his alma mater in the search process.

“I’m sure they’re going to find themselves a great coach and if I can help them in any way to do that, obviously I would do that,” Munchak said. “I’d love to stay involved with Penn State some way, but I’m very involved with the Titans and I love what I’m doing.”

The first-year NFL head coach is busy trying to get his 8-7 Titans into the playoffs, which would be the team’s first postseason berth since 2008 and third since the 2003 season. The Titans

need a victory in Houston on Sunday and then help from at least two other games to make the postseason as the AFC’s final wild card.

“That’s what I’m really thinking about and excited about,” Munchak said. “It’s unfortunate that it came up this week because I don’t want the focus taken away from what we’re trying to do as a team here.”

Munchak said he considered the “what-ifs” of the Penn State situation when the job came open. He never went any further with that possibility.

“You always think of the what-if, what would that be like, going to college (coaching) or moving back to Pennsylvania, and I think that’s when we realized how much we don’t like the winters and how hard that would be moving back with the snow, and how we do like Nashville quite a bit more,” Munchak said.

on a pass from Terrance Owens — gave Toledo a 4235 lead with 5:01 remaining and put the Rockets (9-4) over the 40-point mark for a sixth straight game.

“We have 1,000 playmakers on our team,” said Reedy, who had a career high 126 yards receiving on four catches and was named the game’s MVP. “You never know who’s going to step up. It’s fun to watch everybody catch and run with it.”

The game matched two of the top 25 scoring teams in the country, and they wasted little time living up to their reputations. It was Mid-American Conference member Toledo’s spread offense against Mountain West Air Force’s triple option, and the idea of a huddle seemed a quaint, antiquated concept.

Back and forth they went.

A kickoff return for 87 yards. A pitch around the left end for 60. Touchdown

passes for 49 and 37 yards.

A pair of botched onside kicks.

And that was just the first half.

Toledo’s Adonis Thomas finished with 108 yards on 22 carries. Paul Hornung Award finalist Eric Page caught 13 passes for 59 yards, but his biggest play was an 87-yard kickoff return in the first half.

Owens, getting most of the work at quarterback, completed 19 of 24 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns. Owens got the nod over Austin Dantin, who started the first 10 games of the season before sitting out the last two with a concussion.

Tim Jefferson, the first quarterback in service academy history to lead his team to four consecutive bowl games, completed 13 of 22 passes for 159 yards with two touchdowns and one interception for Air Force.

Toledo holds off Air Force 42-41 in Military Bowl David Ash paves way for Texas win over Cal in the Holiday Bowl

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even the youngest head coach in the country knows not to expect the conventional from Air Force. After all, the Falcons had already scored three fourth-down touchdowns, including the one that had just tied the Military Bowl with 52 seconds to play.

So 32-year -old Matt Campbell, leading Toledo for the first time, wasn’t surprised when Air Force lined up to kick the extra point and then ran a fake, going for two to win the game instead of sending it to overtime.

The Rockets were ready.

Holder David Baska got bottled up trying to run the option. The ball squirted toward kicker Parker Herrington, who chased it until it went out of bounds in the end zone, and Toledo started celebrating its 42-41 victory Wednesday night at RFK Stadium.

“We talked about it, first and foremost, because they fake some extra points and fake some field goals,” said Campbell, the Toledo offensive coordinator who was promoted this month to the head job after Tim Beckman left for Illinois. “Ironically, we were in the same situation last year in our bowl game. I give credit to our staff. We got ourselves into a defensive call. We were not in a ‘block’ look.”

Toledo succeeded in taking a one-point lead with a 2-point conversion near the end of last year’s Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, but the Rockets lost the game to Florida International on a field goal on the game’s final play.

This time, the wild ending to a wild game went their way in the school’s first bowl win since 2005.

Bernard Reedy’s third touchdown of the game — a 33-yard catch, spin and run

SAN DIEGO (AP) — David Ash threw for one touchdown and caught a TD pass to lead Texas to a 21-10 victory against California in the Holiday Bowl on Wednesday night.

The Longhorns (8-5) had five takeaways and sacked Cal’s Zach Maynard six times.

The Golden Bears (7-6) are winless in five games against the Longhorns dating to 1959.

Ash caught a 4-yard pass from wide receiver Jaxon Shipley in the second quarter to join BYU’s Steve Young, Texas A&M’s Bucky Richardson and Oregon’s Joey Harrington as quarterbacks who’ve caught scoring passes in the Holiday Bowl.

Texas coach Mack Brown joked on Tuesday how much it still bugged him that Harrington caught a TD pass in the Ducks’ 35-30 win against Texas in the 2000 Holiday Bowl. The Oregon offensive coordinator then was Jeff Tedford, who has been Cal’s coach since 2002. Harrington now works for the Longhorn Network.

Last year, instead of purchasing place mats, I tore pages from a book of wallpaper samples. I cut them to the right size and had the kids attach cutouts or stickers, or draw something with markers. The pages were nice weight and could even be wiped off, if necessary. The paper comes in so many colors and patterns, and I think most home-improvement stores would probably be glad to give away their outdated books.

Did Cheetah from 1930s Tarzan flicks die?

PALM HARBOR, Fla. (AP) — A Florida animal sanctuary says Cheetah, the chimpanzee sidekick in the Tarzan movies of the early 1930s, has died at 80. But other accounts call that claim into question.

Debbie Cobb, outreach director at the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary in Palm Harbor, said Wednesday that her grandparents acquired Cheetah around 1960 from “Tarzan” star Johnny Weissmuller and that the chimp appeared in T arzan films between 1932 and 1934. During that period, Weissmuller made “T arzan the Ape Man” and “Tarzan and His Mate.”

But Cobb of fered no documentation, saying it was destroyed in a 1995 fire.

Also, some Hollywood accounts indicate a chimpanzee by the name of Jiggs or Mr. Jiggs played Cheetah alongside

Weissmuller early on and died in 1938.

In addition, an 80-year -old chimpanzee would be extraordinarily old, perhaps the oldest ever known.

According to many experts and Save the Chimps, another Florida sanctuary, chimpanzees in captivity generally live to between 40 and 60, though Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee, Fla., says it has one that is around 73.

A similar claim about another chimpanzee that supposedly played second banana to Weissmuller was debunked in 2008 in a Washington Post story.

Writer R.D. Rosen discovered that the primate, which lived in Palm Springs, Calif., was born around 1960, meaning it wasn’t old enough to have been in the Tarzan movies of Hollywood’s Golden Age that starred

ly 5, and I’ve known him since then, and he was a full-grown chimp then.”

Film historian and Tur ner Classic Movies host Robert Osbour ne said the Cheetah character “was one of the things people loved about the Tarzan movies because he made people laugh. He was always a regular fun part of the movies.”

In his time, the Cheetah character was as popular as Rin T in T in or Asta, the dog from the “Thin Man” movies, Osbourne said.

“He was a major star,” he said.

At the animal sanctuary, Cheetah was outgoing, loved finger painting and liked to see people laugh, Cobb said. But he could also be ill-tempered.

Cobb said that when the chimp didn’t like what was going on, he would fling feces and other objects.

Olympic swimming star Weissmuller as the vine-swinging, loincloth-wearing Ape Man and Maureen O’Sullivan as Jane.

While a number of chimpanzees played the sidekick role in the T arzan movies of the 1930s and ’40s, Rosen said in an email Wednesday that this latest purported Cheetah looks like a “business-boosting impostor as well.”

“I’m afraid any chimp who actually shared a soundstage with Weissmuller and O’Sullivan is long gone,” Rosen said.

Cobb said Cheetah died Dec. 24 of kidney failure and was cremated.

“Unfortunately, there was a fire in ’95 in which a lot of that documentation bur ned up,” Cobb said. “I’m 51 and I’ve known him for 51 years. My first remembrance of him coming here was when I was actual-

Woody Guthrie archive to land in his native Okla.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Woody Guthrie’s writings, recordings and artwork will land in his native state after an Oklahoma foundation bought the collection, with plans for a display that concentrates on his artistry rather than the populist politics that divided local opinion over the years.

Guthrie, known for the anthem, “This Land is Your Land” and his songs about the poor and downtrodden, is remembered mostly as a musician, composer and singer, but was also a literary figure and an artist, said Bob Blackburn, executive director of the Oklahoma Historical Society.

“Woody Guthrie was a crossroads of creativity,” Blackburn said. “Woody Guthrie reveals so much about our history.”

The George Kaiser Family Foundation, a charitable organization based in Tulsa, announced Wednesday that it purchased the archives and plans to open the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa by the end of 2012 to mark the centennial of the singer’s birth.

The foundation did not disclose how much it paid for the collection, which includes the original handwritten copy of “This Land is Your Land.” Also included are original musical recordings, handwritten songbooks and almost 3,000 song lyrics, rare books by and about Guthrie, more than 700 pieces of artwork, letters and postcards, more than 500 photographs, Guthrie’s annotated record collection and personal

papers detailing family matters, his World War II military service and musical career.

The archive had been housed in the Mount Kisco, N.Y., home of Nora Guthrie, the songwriter’s daughter.

Woody Guthrie, a native of Okemah, died of Huntington’s disease, a hereditary neurodegenerative condition, in 1967 at the age of 55.

While Guthrie’s social activism rubbed some conservative Oklahomans the wrong way, Blackburn said his songs reflect the downto-earth sentiment of the state where he was born.

“Woody Guthrie never changed his opinion,” Blackburn said. “Woody Guthrie was a populist who was fearful of big business, fearful of big government.

That populist message came out of Oklahoma’s red soil.”

Oklahoma musician and music historian Steve Ripley, who has performed with Bob Dylan and also worked with Oklahoma native Leon Russell, said Guthrie’s work influenced them and other musicians including Bruce Springsteen.

“Most people recognize him as America’s songwriter,” Ripley said. “He’s so important in his own right.

He’s writing about everything, and that was his genius.”

Guthrie did not have much of an audience for his music early in his career, Blackburn said, but his popularity soared during the economic and cultural tumult caused by the Great Depression.

“Only then did he really find an audience,” Blackburn said. “As the country’s attitude started changing, it came in line with Woody’s populist origins.”

Guthrie’s popularity in his home state suffered as it became more politically conservative, and he was even portrayed as anti-American.

Ripley noted that during World War II, Guthrie penned songs that railed against fascism, including “All You Fascists Bound To Lose,” and sang for troops to buoy their spirits while serving with the Army and U.S. Merchant Marine.

“He wrote so many great songs that are pointedly pro-American,” Ripley said.

“They weren’t running around knocking America.

That stuff was not let’s tear down America. It was let’s build up America.”

Attitudes about Guthrie have shifted over the past decade as Oklahomans renewed their interest in his life and music, Blackburn said. Today, a portrait of Guthrie hangs in the rotunda of the Oklahoma State Capitol and the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival is held annually in Okemah to coincide with his birthday on July 12.

The new four -building arts hub in Tulsa will feature public displays from the Guthrie archives and research space for scholars and artists “so the story of this extraordinary Oklahoman can be told for generations to come,” the George Kaiser Family Foundation’s executive director Ken Levit said in a statement.
