Aaron Daugherty, 25, received the maximum sentence of 30 years for two counts of first-degree murder to run consecutively.

Daugherty was convicted of the June 13, 2009, shooting deaths of Valerie A. York, 25, and Mark A. Koenig, 23.

Fifth District Court Judge Ralph D. Shamas said, “I have dedicated the whole of my adult life to the defense of the law and the justice system. ... The jury have found him guilty on two counts of firstdegree, willful and deliberate homicide, two counts for two lives. For the murder of Valerie York, 30 years to life, for the murder of Mark Koenig, 30 years to life, to be served consecutively. I act not from anger, but from a sense of justice.”

Prior to the ruling, family members were given a chance to speak.

Jeff Koenig, Mark Koenig’s father, urged two consecutive sentences. “This man’s actions have taken more than you can

Murphy newest ADA South Korean troops on alert JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Michael Murphy, the newest recruit to the 5th District Attorney’s office, worked for 16 years as an “elbow law clerk” for U.S. Magistrate Judge Don J. Svet, in Albuquerque.

An elbow law clerk, Murphy explained, is a bit archaic. “He literally sits at the elbow of the judge. He researches the law and

drafts the opinions.”

INCHEON, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s troops were on high alert Wednesday as their gover nment exchanged threats with rival North Korea following a frightening military skirmish that ratcheted tensions on the peninsula to new extremes.

President Barack Obama reaffirmed Washington’s pledges to protect

ally Seoul after the North shelled a South Korean island near their disputed border, killing at least two marines and wounding civilians in what U.N.

Promises, Promises: GOP leader Kyl reaps $200 million See MURPHY, Page A2

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans’ ban on earmarks — money included in a bill by a lawmaker to benefit a home-state project or interest — was short-lived.

Only three days after GOP senators and senators-elect renounced earmarks, Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, the No. 2 Senate Republican, got himself a whopping $200 million to settle an Arizona Indian tribe’s water rights claim against the government.

Kyl slipped the measure into a larger bill sought by President Barack Obama and passed by the Senate on Friday to settle claims by black farmers and American Indians against the federal government. Kyl’s office insists the

measure is not an earmark, and the House didn’t deem it one when it considered a version earlier this year.

But it meets the know-it-when-you-see-it test, critics say. Under Senate rules, an earmark is a spending item inserted “primarily at the request of a senator” that goes “to an entity, or (is) targeted to a specific state.”

Earmarking allows lawmakers to steer federal spending to pet projects in their states and districts. Earmarks take many forms, including road projects, improvements to home district military bases, sewer projects, economic develSee EARMARKS, Page A2

A soft-spoken man, Murphy welcomed the opportunity to move to Roswell and believes his job shows great promise for the future.

The prosecutor’s offices and the district itself motivated his move. “When I was working in the federal courts in Albuquerque, I was told that things were

different in different areas of the state. The 5th Judicial District has a reputation throughout the state as being an aggressive district. This reflects well on both the defense bar and the prosecutor’s office.”

He described the people of Roswell as very helpful and friendly. “I’m looking forward to working in a smaller city. I walked to

work this morning in 15 minutes” said Murphy.

He likes the accessibility to outdoors, which suits his hobbies of backpacking, hiking and hunting.

Murphy grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, in McAllen and Marfa, Texas, and he confesses that he has seen the Marfa lights.

He is a science fiction fan, although it was not

Roswell’s association with aliens that brought him here. In fact, he said, “It was disappointing to discover that Alien Amber is not brewed here.”

He likes science fiction, he said, because it is fiction. “Science fiction offers light reading after a day of reading legal texts and law books.”

The primary difference

between his work here and his work as a law clerk is one of emphasis. “Now I’m an advocate for a position.

While writing for a court I had to stay neutral.”

His first cases will be in the areas of DWI and domestic violence.

and likely will after Congress reconvenes Nov. 29 for the continuation of a postelection, lame duck session.

Sens. Max Baucus, DMont., and Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., also got in on the bargain, adding measures benefiting their states to the black farmers-tribal royalty settlements. The two senators obtained almost $370 million for projects in their states to implement water settlements.

Baucus and Bingaman make no bones about their support for earmarks, but Kyl is a recent convert to the anti-earmark crusade of home state GOP colleague Sen. John McCain, who’s railed against them for years. The Interior Department sought only $56 million for Indian land and water claims in Obama’s proposed budget for this year and no money

for Kyl’s project, or those wanted by Baucus and Bingaman.

The $200 million in Kyl’s measure would be used to construct and maintain a drinking water project on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, including a dam, reservoir, treatment plant and delivery pipelines.

The water system is settlement compensation for numerous abuses by the federal government, which included clearing trees and other vegetation from thousands of acres of tribal lands in order to increase runoff into the Salt River, a source of water for the cities of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and other communities. The tribe also would waive a halfdozen other claims against the government.

A top Democrat scornfully pointed out that the

project is going to a state whose GOP lawmakers claim to oppose earmarks.

“I do know an earmark when I see it. And this, my friends, is an earmark,” Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said in a prepared floor statement. He said Kyl’s project would help the White Mountain Apaches “make snow at their ski resort, improve water flow to their casino and build fish hatcheries to improve local fish production.”

Those projects don’t appear to be directly funded by the bill, though the measure’s wording is confusing.

There’s no question, however, that the measure is vitally important to Arizona, where water is a scarce and precious resource.

“It addresses a fundamental need on the White Mountain Apache Reservation and provides certainty

to the tribe, to Phoenix and to other water users” in the area, Michael Conner, commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation, said in an interview.

Conner is a former top aide to Bingaman, who obtained $148 million to implement water rights claims of the Taos Pueblo, along with those of several other New Mexico tribes.

Kyl’s office declined a request for an interview with the senator.

The costs of the water claims settlements will be offset by cuts to other government programs, including $562 million in overbudgeted 2010 funding for the federal nutrition program for women, infants and children. Either way, the government is on the hook to settle the water claims or risk larger losses in court.

“You have to do these water settlements or allow

the courts to simply award damages,” said Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., perhaps the most anti-earmark member of Congress. “An earmark is something when an individual gets a goodie for their district outside of the regular legislative process.”

Typically, Congress “authorizes” big water projects in policy-setting bills that promise funding in future legislation. Kyl’s measure started out that way but it morphed behind closed doors into a bill that actually provides the money.

The bill, passed unanimously on a voice vote Friday after most senators had left Washington for the week, vaults his, Baucus’ and Bingaman’s projects to the front of the line instead of having to compete with other projects for limited Interior Department funds.

Minister Kim Tae-young told lawmakers Wednesday that the military will send reinforcements to five islands near the disputed sea border, but provided no details.

South Korea said Wednesday that, despite the artillery exchange the day before, it would continue another previously scheduled military drill set for a different part of the Yellow Sea, about 70 miles south of the disputed waters near Yeonpyeong.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff said the military drill by the South Korean army, navy,

air force and marines would continue until Nov. 30 as previously scheduled.

Separately, South Korea said it was suspending promised aid shipments of cement and medicine worth $506,000, Unification Ministry spokesman Chun Hae-sung said. The government also ordered eight civic groups to stop delivering aid worth $2.3 million to North Korea.

The top U.S. military officer in South Korea, Gen. Walter Sharp, condemned North Korea’s “unprovoked” artillery attack in a statement Wednesday and called

South Korean military installations and a small civilian population.

Seoul responded by unleashing its own barrage from K-9 155mm self-propelled howitzers and scrambling fighter jets. Two South Korean marines were killed in the shelling that also injured 15 troops and three civilians. Officials in Seoul said there could be considerable North Korean casualties.

The U.S. gover nment called the North’s barrages an outrageous, unprovoked attack, but sought to avoid any escalation and did not reposition any of its 29,000 troops stationed in the South.

“No one can live without hope. If you can find forgiveness, then Aaron’s mother can go to her grave with hope,” said James Atkins, another of Daugherty’s uncles. Hope that would be denied if Daugherty were to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Atkins did not condone his nephew’s actions. “You (Daugherty) have done everyone here an injustice.

Water

Continued from Page A1

trouble.”

Las Vegas, Nev., for instance, gets 90 percent of its water from the lake.

California gets more Colorado River water than any other state, and more than 28 million people depend on just the lower portion of the basin. Barnett suggests that Nevada and Arizona will suffer most and first if Lake Mead levels continue falling, as many expect.

For its part, New Mexico has claims to just a small fraction of the sum of Colorado River allocations — around 5 percent of the system. Without the capacity to use all of its allotment, the state currently receives less water than it is due, though it continues to “develop” projects that will increase its demand.

John Whipple, the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission’s Colorado River basin manager, says, from the Colorado River system “the state’s current usage is in the neighborhood of 450,000 acre-feet” — just over 50 percent of what it’s technically allocated. (One acre-foot of water is about 325,000 gallons.) Ongoing projects, Whipple added, are boosting the state’s usage every year.

The question for most engineers, scientists, lawyers, and others is whether New Mexico should expect to ever see its full Colorado River allocation. While Whipple declined to offer his opinion, every other source consulted answered, without hesitation, “No.” The consensus opinion is that the Colorado River is over-allocated. Luckily for New Mexico, it is not overly dependent on the system.

California, Las Vegas, Nev., Phoenix and others aren’t so fortunate.

For them, current trends point to things getting worse, perhaps much worse, before they get better.

Only one-and-a-half states east of America’s most prominent water problem and still well within the arid environs of the Southwest, the portentous problems with Lake Mead and the Colorado River beg the question: Is this part of the country similarly imperiled?

After decades of turmoil, Roswell and southeastern New Mexico have recently achieved some aquatic stability.

The underground aquifer that spans much of the Pecos Valley, the Roswell Artesian Basin, is again stable, if not on the upswing. The region and the state as a whole are meeting water commitments to the Carlsbad area and Texas, respectively.

But that should be expect-

ed in the birthplace of the science of groundwater, right?

Em Hall, a seven-year veteran of the Office of the State Engineer and now professor emeritus of law at the University of New Mexico, wrote High and Dry, a book on the legal struggles surrounding the Pecos River.

In one of several interviews, he explained Roswell’s connection to the “great science” of hydrology: “How [groundwater] operated, moved, what happened when you pumped it — it came out of Roswell, because Roswell was so rich in groundwater.”

The studies began when, early in the 20th century, creditors questioned the basin’s sustainability, thus denying Pecos Valley farmers federal far m loans.

Later, once New Mexico had passed progressive legislation that applied surface water law to ground water in 1931, the state had to understand Roswell’s aquifer in order to regulate it.

According to Hall, Roswell’s distinction as the father of the science would continue well into the 1900s.

In High and Dry, he discusses an Iraqi hydrologist, Dr. Mahdi Hantush, coming to Roswell in early 1955, writing, “The world of groundwater hydrology was never again the same.”

“Roswell was way the hell ahead of everybody,” Hall said in a recent interview.

But, like Eden, Roswell’s basin was not impermeable to sinful forces — namely, over-exploitation.

During the mid-1950s, amid an agricultural boom, irrigation was at an all-time high. In total, the basin was feeding 158,000 acres of Pecos Valley crops. Basin water levels were dropping precipitously.

Over -exploitation and water mismanagement led to a lawsuit between New Mexico and Texas over water deliveries and increased animosity in the ever -tense relationship between Pecos Valley Artesian Conservancy District and Carlsbad Irrigation District.

Decades of vitriol later, the ship is again afloat, for most of the region, that is.

The basin is stable. New Mexico has a water surplus with Texas, and, whereas they were hard-pressed to sit down together in the same room before, CID and

A3

PVACD board members take each other out for lunch. For southeastern New Mexico, then, the future seems bright, and wet.

As always, obstacles persist.

Meanwhile, to Roswell’s northeast, Clovis and eastern New Mexico, dependent on very dif ferent water resources than the southeast part of the state, are currently working to avert their own aquatic catastrophe.

Easter n New Mexico’s share of the High Plains Aquifer, which spans from Wyoming and South Dakota south to Texas, is estimated to have been 300 feet deep. Now, with 2.3 million Americans drinking from it and 25 percent of the nation’s agricultural production reliant on it, the southwester n rim of the aquifer that includes eastern New Mexico communities has as little as 20 feet remaining.

Literally decades of planning to address the lowering water table later, stakeholders have come together and agreed to an alternative. Implementation is set to begin in the spring.

For now, Clovis and eastern New Mexico appear set to avoid the gridlock and mismanagement that gripped the Pecos Valley for 60 years and currently has hold of Lake Mead, the Colorado River and much of the American southwest.

In the next four pieces of this five-story special on water in southeastern and eastern New Mexico, we’ll recount a little more history, we’ll look at the effects of past projects and the plans for future ones and, with no help from a magic ball, we’ll gaze off into the state’s aquatic future.

Perhaps we’ll find that here, in the birthplace of groundwater hydrology, lessons learned can again be applied more broadly to help stave of f death by dehydration in the American southwest. Or perhaps we won’t. jdmoore@roswell-record.com

The Healing Power of Gratitude Many have seen how radically a grateful heart can change one’s whole outlook and experience.

In this spirit of love and gratitude, the members of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Roswell, at corner of 1st and Lea, invite the community to join in giving thanks to God. The service will be held on Thanksgiving Day at 10:00AM. A special Lesson-Sermon from the Bible and from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy will be read.

During the service, there will also be time for members of the congregation to express gratitude for the ways in which they have experienced God’s grace during the year.

No collection will be taken.

OPINION

SANTA FE — Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. One of the reasons is that Americans still remember why we celebrate it.

Thanksgiving isn’t just another holiday, to which we give not one thought other than that it is a day off work.

Nearly all of us truly remember to give thanks and truly celebrate the holiday. Unlike Christmas, there is no stress around giving and receiving presents. The purpose of celebrating Thanksgiving is very simple and very easy to observe.

We’re told that all cultures observe some sort of day to give thanks. It seems to be a basic human need to back away from trouble, stress and daily commotion and reflect on one’s blessings no matter how meager they may be.

In this part of the country, where we can boast a European presence that predates English settlements on the East Coast, we

trimmings begins to fill the air.

Old stories are told, getting better every year. And after dinner, generations of males step outside to toss around a football. And sometimes grandpa is taken to the emergency room after aggravating that old shoulder injury.

Which brings us to those who can’t take off for the holiday: the nurses and emergency room workers, police and firefighters, airline employees and truckers, and most of all, those who serve and protect us around the world.

For some, this will be the first Thanksgiving away from home and loved ones. Many of those will be New Mexicans serving in National Guard units called to active duty in locations far, far away. For them, the taste of turkey will have a very special meaning.

Here’s some more reasons Thanksgiving is special. It’s a four-day weekend for most people.

have some fun claiming that America’s first Thanksgiving occurred near El Paso in 1598.

That’s when Don Juan de Onate and his band of settlers paused on their journey northward to feast and give thanks to God for getting them through the desert and providing them with a river crossing.

But it will never replace the story about Squanto and the Pilgrims.

The observance of Thanksgiving is so comfortable. Family gathers, often from afar. Sometimes good friends without family are included. Generations of cooks gather in the kitchen to discuss and prepare old recipes.

Roswell Daily Record

Who works on the Friday after Thanksgiving? Most employers don’t even expect it. Employees trade it for a vacation day or for a non-observed holiday like Presidents Day. Of course, mall employees work even harder than usual on the day after Thanksgiving, because it is the beginning of the holiday season, the busiest shopping day of the year. It is called Black Friday because it is the day when many retailers say they finally get to quit using red ink for their bottom line.

Thanksgiving also is a day when it is acceptable to stuff oneself and grudgingly permissible to watch sports on television all day. Well, almost all day. Do we really have to turn off the Cowboy game during dinner?

Thanksgiving gives political columnists the opportunity to give thanks for our first female governor in over 400 years of our state’s history. And it allows us to write

about the turkeys from out of state who ran the political campaigns.

Thanksgiving is a holiday with which American Indians have trouble. As with Columbus Day, they can’t see much need to celebrate the beginning of a hostile takeover of their land.

Some teachers try to add the Indian point of view to the romanticized version of the first meetings between Indians and white settlers. Usually parental concerns put an end to that and schools leave it to families to interpret the holiday in their own traditions.

Regardless of how you celebrate Thanksgiving, please enjoy it and be happy that in this part of the world there’s usually green chile in the stuffing and red chile in the gravy.

A case of the slows

An effort to ban the controversial chemical bisphenol A from baby bottles and sippy cups was on the verge of failure in the Senate Thursday, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., blamed the chemical industry. The industry, she said, had used its clout to block her attempt to insert a ban into a food safety bill.

The good news is that the food safety bill likely will pass with an unusual amount of bipartisan support. The bill would boost the number of agricultural inspections and mandate better record-keeping.

But we agree with Feinstein, who said on the Senate floor last week: “I don’t understand how a chemical group would oppose taking a chemical which, at the very least, may impact the endocrine systems of infants (out of products) because they want to make money on it.”

There is no logical reason not to ban BPA from products used by the very young.

Senators should summon the will to ban the chemical. Dozens of studies over many years have indicated that exposure to the chemical, an endocrine disruptor, may lead to health problems. Children appear to be especially vulnerable. BPA has been found in the urine of 93 percent of Americans.

Canada, which has been far more aggressive than the United States, published a final order in October adding the chemical to its list of toxic substances. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has so far been unwilling to go beyond its January assessment when it expressed “some concern about the potential effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland in fetuses, infants and young children.”

Feinstein’s amendment would have banned BPA from baby bottles and sippy cups, required the FDA to issue a revised safety assessment on BPA by Dec. 1, 2012, and included a clause to allow states to enact their own legislation.

The American Chemistry Council objected, saying in a statement: “We do not support any amendment to the Food Safety Bill that would revoke or impede FDA’s authority.”

But when the FDA is wrong — or has the slows — it’s time to give the agency a push.

That’s what Feinstein’s amendment would have done. We urge her to keep trying.

The American dream is in jeopardy For generations, parents have told their children about “The American dream.” Basically it has meant building a life based on the foundational principles that created and have sustained America for more than 200 years. By doing so, one might reasonably expect a new generation to achieve a better life than their parents and grandparents experienced. But what defines “better”? In modern times it has been defined as achieving greater prosperity and consuming more material goods.

At least one liberal writer is channeling Jimmy Carter,

implying our best days are behind us and this version of the American dream is over.

Writing recently in The New York Times, columnist Bob Herbert says: “However you want to define the American dream, there is not much of it that’s left anymore. Wherever you choose to look — at the

economy and jobs, the public schools, the budget deficits, the nonstop warfare overseas — you’ll see a country in sad shape. Standards of living are declining, and American parents increasingly believe that their children will inherit a very bad deal.”

Herbert does not assess blame for this, so I will. His version of the American dream — as opposed to the original dream, which remains for those who would embrace it — is over for a very good reason.

Setting aside war, which was imposed on America, the eclipse of liberalism’s American dream has been largely

caused by expanding, encroaching, over -taxing, over-spending and over-regulating government. This has produced a country of government addicts with an entitlement mentality. These twin maladies have eroded selfreliance, individual initiative and personal accountability. A monopolistic gover nment school system keeps the poor from achieving their dreams, as many remain locked (thanks to Democrats and their union supporters) in failing government schools, producing graduates (if in fact

Her education, background and experience made her more than qualified for this position.

Edward Torres Roswell DEAR DR. GOTT: My mom is 92 and has macular degeneration, so someone reads her your column every mor ning. It’s heartbreaking to see the horrendous pain that she is in. It’s extreme from her hip down to the foot on her right leg, and it travels, as well.

She has severe arthritis — bone rubbing on bone in her hip because the cartilage is gone, and her sciatic nerve is being pinched. She has spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia as well, as far as we can tell.

She’s tried things from your column from time to time. She’s been to pain doctors, had five shots, acupuncture, seen a chiropractor and has had physical therapy. We rub her down with different things. She sparingly

takes pain medication, which doesn’t always work, applies ice for 20 minutes once or twice a day and still is in severe pain most of the time. She cannot walk due to it.

I keep thinking surely there is something that can help other than surgery. She’s not interested in that option because of her age and her negative reactions to

anesthesia and many drugs. Is there a noninvasive procedure that can help, a cream she can use, a specialist she can see or a pill she can take? I find it so hard to believe that in this day and age someone has to be in such severe pain. A once very active woman has been all but stopped.

DEAR READER: As with any medical condition and possible options, a physician must look at the whole picture. The thing that stands out is her age. Most people don’t respond as well to surgery at 92 as they would when younger, recuperation is longer than in a younger person and, as you pointed out, she has had negative reactions to anesthesia.

I cannot comment on her macular degeneration other than to

recommend she see a top-notch ophthalmologist if she hasn’t already done so.

Osteoarthritis, sciatica, spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia have one symptom in common — pain. There are options for relief.

Initially, I might suggest massage by a therapist. You might check with her physician or your local hospital for recommendations. If you are fortunate enough to have a visiting nurse’s facility in your community, they will likely make house calls.

Purchase a whirlpool insert for her bath tub or obtain a chair for the shower that will allow soothing water to help ease her pain.

Instead of ice, consider a warming topical ointment such

Buddy Walk help appreciated

Dear Editor: I am writing about an event that I was lucky to be a part of. I volunteered to help with the annual family dinner for the Southeast New Mexico Down Syndrome Foundation.

The event was so much fun for everyone who attended. It was a success because of two great companies that donated and took time to help with this event.

The first business I would like to thank is Classics Frozen Custard. Tim, the manager, is a great member of our community. He is always giving to our community with little thanks. His hot dogs and sundae bar were the hit of our dinner. Their food is so good! This company is a great asset to Roswell. Thank you, Tim, you and your staff were great.

The second business is Let’s Play Entertainment. These guys played music, made balloon animals and just interacted great with our families. They played to their crowd and made it a fun time for all. Thanks guys, you were so much fun.

I just want to say thank you Classics and Let’s Play Entertainment for making our 2010 Buddy Walk Family Dinner a huge success. You guys did a great job and made the dinner enjoyable and memorable.

they do graduate) who lag behind other nations in subjects that matter.

Herbert claims, “We have become a hapless, can’t-do society.” He says it’s, “embarrassing.”

Is it not the politicians who lead a people increasingly dependent on them who are responsible for this? The liberals among them and their policies are leading us down a path to economic and cultural insolvency.

The creation of a government that is out of control and thus out of touch, robs every citizen, preventing fulfillment of the original American dream.

Anyone who thinks dysfunctional gover nment is going to help achieve their dreams is putting their faith in the wrong place. People who believe a politician of whatever party or persuasion can make their life better than individual initiative are doing more than dreaming; such persons are displaying cult-like faith, which can never be fulfilled.

“America will never get its act together until we recognize how much trouble we’re really in,” writes Herbert. That’s true, but more than acknowledging the obvious is needed.

Hospital appreciated

Dear Editor: I recently finished several weeks of physical therapy at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center. I filled out a card for a review of the quality of service while I was there. However, the amount of space provided on the card just wasn’t sufficient to reflect the satisfaction of my experience.

The physical therapy department is filled with outstanding, professional employees. I looked forward to every visit, and with every visit I was greeted with a smile, answers to any questions, and a workout that not only increased the speed of my healing, but also provided that extra little challenge to which I looked forward with each and every visit.

I especially want to thank my physical therapist, Lauren; the office staff; and the director of the department, Kim. This entire department goes out of their way to ensure a positive experience in all aspects (treatments, billing, and written information on exercises.)

I salute you!

Church and state

Dear Editor: The First Amendment to our Constitution reads as follows: “Congress shall make no law respecting the establish-

A5

ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

The other night I thought about the separation of church and state that we now have in this country and it occurred to me that we have gone too far. That is to say, in my opinion, that the courts of this nation, in removing religion from public places have committed a religious act.

For example, if the courts deny anyone from using a portion of their own tax dollars (taken by force) to serve their own religious belief, that is using the court’s own view, of what religion is, against them. For the courts or the government to take one side or the other about what is or is not religion, is stepping over the line that separates church from state, isn’t it? In my opinion, our government should not ever make a religious decision, in court or Congress, for or against something they know nothing about.

If the majority of local taxpayers want religion of any sort in their local tax paid school system, they should be able to have it. If they are in a minority, then they may form a private, tax assisted school or home school.

Veterans and seniors: beware of health reform JOHN TAYLOR VETERANS ADVOCATE

Remember when you were promised, “We are not going to tell you who you have to see for your health care. You can still see your same physician. Nothing is going to change with your current health care plan.”

Really? That is a lie— excuse me, mis-spoken information. If your doctor is forced to retire, forced to not take “government plan” members (problems with reimbursement, types of coverage, etc.) he won’t be there for you to see!

My doctor was recently denied payment for diabetic foot care he gave me a few months ago. The care is approved by Medicare guidelines, since the $80 treatment will prevent foot amputations costing thousands of dollars (to the insurance company). Four other foot care doctor visits over the last 2 years have been paid by the same insurance company! My appeal was denied, even though I gave the reviewers all the regulations and visual (photographic) proof

they needed to approve the claim! I’ll spare you the totally idiotic list of denial justifications they sent me in response. They requested all my records from my physician, and stated one of the reasons for denial was he didn’t sign one of his responses! I will take this to an administrative law judge (working for the government), since it’s the next step. I won’t go through the expense of hiring a lawyer since I already know the outcome, but the cost of my appeal will take a little bite out of the insurance company’s CEO bonus this year! Sorry, Barak. No fraud savings on this one!

Seniors, beware. Part of the payment for Kennedy/Obama Care is coming from “cleaning up fraud and abuse in Medicare”. Since the government hasn’t been able to do that in the past or currently, it will get the $500 billion promised from fraud elimination (out of denying payment for legiti-

mate claims of health care providers)!

It’s happening all over.

Ask around. I’ve heard from people who have been denied approval for cardiovascular screening because their stroke last year has been declared “a pre-existing condition”. The insurance companies providing gover nment health care insurance are the same ones the government has labeled dirty, nasty, unscrupulous etc., when they are not government contractors. They change when they contract with the gover nment, how?

When the government tells them to cut costs (or they want to improve their own contracting fees), they certainly know how! The less paid to doctors, clinics, hospitals, etc., the more (they) keep! That is how the president and this year’s Congress is “paying” for the Kennedy/Obama Care reform.

Veterans, beware— be very aware! Look at current practices and changes in your gover nment health plan. Your co-pays are increasing, deductibles are increasing, your out-ofpocket expenses are increasing, your list of care providers is shrinking (yes, retired military is told who they must see or they pay extra), there are virtually no doctors locally accepting Tricare patients, the list of medicines (for mulary) approved by the govern-

ment for payment by the plan is shrinking (several meds that use to be paid by the plan now cost you over $20 each, and due to increase in the near future), and so on. This is the public option, government health care train wreck you are all going to get in two years or less!

Keep in mind if you have Tricare For Life (retired veterans), Medicare is the primary payer and TFL is sec-

ondary. Alert! If Medicare denies payment for a service, TFL denies also, based on Medicare’s denial (or at the very least, you will pay 65+ percent of the bill). Oh, that's right— Medicare says you don’t have to pay the doctor (his fault for not knowing better), but you are still liable for 115% of the TFL allowable charges.

Net result? You still will have to pay when you shouldn’t have to. The doc-

tor will not provide services in the future (since he won't get paid).

Did you know: businesses are realizing it is cheaper for them to drop their current employee health plans and to pay the penalty. Employees are forced into the government pool!

But unions are getting waivers. No public option, right?

God bless.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel as if you have given enough at this point. The instinct to play ostrich might not be too out of whack. An associate or family member could be depressed or difficult. Let this person’s issues go, for now. Tonight: Happiest at home.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An adamant disagreement is just that, but it doesn’t mean you cannot talk to the other party or even enjoy him or her. You simply don’t see eye to eye with this person.

A work-related matter might be exhausting. Use your ability to pace yourself. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Curb a need to be possessive or in control.

First, it won’t work for you ultimately. Also, you will note how much contradiction surrounds a key issue.

Trying to resolve it will take the ability to see the validity in all suggestions.

Tonight: Your treat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others are challenging and controlling.

These traits might have nothing to do with you but with them. A difficult issue at home seems heavier than it really is. Know that it is resolvable, and approach it accordingly.

Tonight: Let go. The world is your oyster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Know when to close your door at the office or screen your calls at home.

Everyone needs some private time, especially you at this juncture. Use your ability to sort and distance yourself. What you are feeling might be justified. Do check it out. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Zero in on what you want, and don’t allow others to distract you. You might wonder what to do with a difficult child or loved one. This person keeps rebelling. If you sense nefarious activity, you probably need to pull back and observe.

Tonight: Where the action is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) It appears responsibilities are dropped on you out of the blue. You could have a lot more on your plate than others realize. Listen to a family member, even if he or she is on the warpath. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

NATIONAL BRIEFS

MARTINEZ, DETROIT AGREE ON DEAL

Victor Martinez is joining the Detroit Tigers, bringing another powerful bat to a lineup that already includes slugger Miguel Cabrera.

Martinez and the Tigers reached a preliminary agreement on a $50 million, four-year contract, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, which was subject to a physical, had not yet been announced.

In 127 games this year with Boston, Martinez hit .302 with 20 homers and 79 RBIs. Although he started 106 games at catcher and also can play first base, the Tigers might use him as a designated hitter.

Detroit already resigned third baseman Brandon Inge and shortstop Jhonny Peralta this offseason, and the Tigers added reliever Joaquin Benoit last week. They were looking for another big bat to go along with Cabrera, who hit .328 with 38 home runs in 2010 and finished second to Josh Hamilton in the AL MVP vote.

Despite Cabrera’s efforts, the Tigers finished only eighth in the American League in runs.

They were hurt by injuries to Inge, Magglio Ordonez and Carlos Guillen.

Ordonez is recovering from right ankle surgery and played only 84 games. The Tigers did not exercise his $15 million option, so he’s a free agent.

SPORTS Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — Josh Hamilton thought back to the days when his career was derailed by drugs and alcohol.

“I would say a 99 percent chance that this would never happen,” he said. “I mean, honestly, I think a lot of people would agree with that.”

In one of baseball’s most inspirational turnarounds, the Texas Rangers outfielder was a runaway winner of the American League’s Most Valuable Player award Tuesday. Hamilton received 22 first-place votes and 358 points from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. Former Cincinnati Reds teammate Joey Votto was voted the NL MVP a day earlier.

Hamilton overcame eight trips to rehabilitation for addiction to lead the major leagues in batting average (.359) and slugging percentage (.633) and help the Rangers reach their first World Series. He had 32 homers and 100 RBIs despite missing time nearly all of September because of two broken ribs.

After going on the disabled list in 2001 while in the minors, he became addicted to alcohol and cocaine. He didn’t play from 2003-05.

“I do reflect. If I didn’t reflect, ‘I’ might start sneaking in there, a little ego might start sneaking in there, and that’s one thing I don’t want to happen,” Hamilton said. “So I do reflect and I think about where I was at my lowest time.”

Teammates say his story motivates them.

“It’s awesome, everybody makes mistakes in their lives and everybody deserves a second chance,” Rangers teammate David Murphy said before voting was announced. “A lot of people don’t take advantage of that second chance. But he took it and he ran with it.”

After voting was concluded, Hamilton was selected MVP of the AL championship series win over the Yankees. Overall, he hit .190 in the postseason with five homers and nine RBIs “There were other guys around the league who had great years, but seeing Josh, what he was able to do, it’s pretty impressive,” teammate Michael Young said. “You don’t see guys go three-month stretches where they hit .400, it’s just too difficult to do.”

Hamilton is the sixth Rangers MVP, following Jeff Burroughs (1974), Juan Gonzalez (1996, 1998), Ivan Rodriguez (1999) and Alex Rodriguez (2003).

In the NL, Votto helped the Reds make the postseason for the first time since 1995. He and Hamilton were Cincinnati teammates in 2007.

“He was just what everybody expected him to be,” Hamilton said. “I knew he was a great player and knew what he was capable of, and he showed people this year exactly that.”

Selected by Tampa Bay with the top pick in the 1999 amateur draft, Hamilton didn’t make an impact in the majors until 2008, when he won the All-Star Home Run Derby at Yankee Stadium and led the AL

TATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Joe Pater no plans to return as Penn State coach next season, ending the latest round of speculation about retirement.

The Nittany Lions meet No. 11 Michigan State in the regular -season finale on Saturday, and some fans and members of the media were wondering if this would be the 83-yearold Hall of Famer’s final appearance at Beaver Stadium. Illness slowed him down in the offseason, and the Nittany Lions’ midseason stumbles even had some fans griping for change.

The rumor mill churned anew in recent weeks, but major college football’s win-

ningest coach said Tuesday at Beaver Stadium he had not even given thought to leaving a job he’s held a record 45 seasons.

“I had no intentions, and I’ve never indicated to anybody, including myself, that I was not coming back,” he said on the Big Ten coaches teleconference.

“No, it’s always been in my mind that now is not the time to go. I think we’ve got a good young team. They may not be there yet but they will be soon.”

And with Paterno leading them again. He turns 84 on Dec. 21.

“Joe Pater no publicly confirms what we suspected all along — he will be back coaching Penn State

with 130 RBIs. Injuries limited Hamilton to 89 games the following year, when he hit .268 with 10 homers and 54 RBIs. Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera was second with five firstplace votes and 262 points after leading the AL with 126 RBIs and a .420 onbase percentage. The Yankees’ Robinson Cano was next with 229 points.

in 2011,” son and quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno tweeted.

Speculating about Paterno’s future is an end-ofseason ritual in Happy Valley. The 2011 season would be the last year of a threeyear extension signed in late 2008.

When asked, Pater no said returning was “entirely my call. ... But I would hope that what I want to do would be taken into consideration and go from there.”

Paterno’s annual seasonin-review meeting with school president Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley awaits.

Tampa Bay’s Evan Longoria was sixth, followed by teammate Carl Crawford, and each gets $25,000.

Panthers drop opener RECORD STAFF REPORT

ELIDA — The Lake Arthur girls basketball dropped its season opener to Elida on Tuesday, 69-5.

Despite the loss, Lake Arthur coach Ashlea Lard was pleased with her team.

“Overall, I was pretty pleased with our performance,” she said. “It was our first game. The girls were pretty dissapointed because they expected a lot more. But they don’t realize how well Elida played. I told them to keep their heads up because it was their

first game.”

Mayra Davila scored four points for the Panthers, while Lilly McNeil netted a point.

Portales 49, Goddard 13 POR TALES — The Goddard girls basketball team lost its second game of the season to Portales on Tuesday, 4913.

UConn downs Spartans LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun joked last week that he still didn’t know all his players’ names, much less how good they’re going to be.

After knocking out a heavyweight in a championship-caliber bout, he — and everyone else, for that matter — should know these young Huskies are for real.

Trading blows in the first half and big shots in the second, Connecticut solidified its return to elite-program status by knocking off No. 2 Michigan State 70-67 in a physical Maui Invitational semifinal on Tuesday.

“We just showed the

world we can play,” said UConn’s Kemba Walker, who scored 30 points and hit a key jumper with less than a minute left.

Boy, did they.

Coming off a disappointing 2009-10 season, Connecticut (4-0) was looking for a prestigebuilding win.

The Huskies got it, fighting the mighty Spartans every inch every minute, refusing to be pushed around by a team projected to be a national title contender.

Walker had another big scoring night and hit the biggest shot, a fallaway See UPSET, Page B2

ate focus was on Michigan State.

“We’re glad to hear of coach Paterno’s excitement for next season,” he said in a statement. “We share his optimism about the team’s potential and look forward to our annual post-season discussion with coach Paterno about next year.”

Paterno missed several of fseason appearances because of an intestinal issue and a lingering adverse reaction to antibiotics prescribed for dental work. He also cut back on a number of in-season obligations on top of coaching, including taping segments instead of appearing live on a weekly radio show.

Paterno has had trouble hearing at times during media availabilities. On the field, a 3-3 start had a few hardcore blue-and-white backers dusting of f the “Joe Must Go” phrase on Internet message boards and radio shows.

Thad Bosley hired as new Rangers hitting coach

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Thad Bosley is the Texas Rangers’ new hitting coach, their third in just more than a year.

Bosley was hired Tuesday to replace Clint Hurdle, who last week left the AL champion Rangers after one season when he became the manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bosley was a finalist for the job last offseason when Rudy Jaramillo left Texas after 15 seasons to take the same job with the Chicago Cubs.

“Anytime you are given an opportunity to work with one of the best organizations in baseball, you want to be a part of it,” Bosley said.

“They have great young talent on the major league level, Josh Hamilton, the AL MVP. ...

There is a litany of outstanding talent you have an opportunity to work with. I look forward to the challenge and the opportunity.”

Bosley hasn’t been on a major league staff since May 31, 2003, when he was relieved of his duties as hitting coach for the Oakland Athletics.

While in Oakland, Bosley was on the same staff with current Rangers manager Ron Washington. The two also were in spring training together as players for the Rangers in 1990.

Bosley, who finished his 14-season playing career with Texas in 1989 and 1990, is the first former Rangers player to become the team’s hitting coach.

“Our relationship definitely goes back a way,” Washington said. “Thad brings a willingness and a passion to want to help this young team that is full of great hitters, full of great players. ... He has experience, he has knowledge. I think what we’ve accomplished in 2010, he’s the right guy to continue moving forward.”

The Rangers led the majors in hitting with a .276 average and went to the World Series for the first time. Hamilton, who led the majors with a .359 average, won the AL MVP award on Tuesday.

Bosley was on Oakland’s coaching staff from 1999-2003. He was a first-base coach and outfield instructor the first season before 3 1⁄2 seasons as the Athletics’ hitting coach.

improved over the grueling season, and Paterno was as energized as ever on Tuesday in exchanging lighthearted verbal jabs with reporters.

Penn State is 4-1 since the .500 start, including a come-from-behind victory earlier this month over Northwester n to secure Paterno’s landmark 400th career victory.

“Awesome! Maybe you guys will leave him alone now,” Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said when told Paterno was returning. “I’m fired up for coach.”

The first question posed Tuesday at Beaver Stadium was whether he planned to return next season.

“Yeah, why you know something I don’t know,” he quipped.

“I’m looking forward to it. ... We’ve struggled a little bit this year, the youth and the injuries and the whole bit,” Paterno continued.

“But I think with a good spring and preseason practice ... We’re going to be a good football team, and I’d like to (be) part of it.”

The Historical Society will be holding a raffle with a chance to win one of several prizes, including two box seats to a Dallas Cowboys game in 2011.

Other prizes include a set of Big O tires, a $250 gift certificate from American Airlines, a Nambe dish from Bullocks Jewelry, a $50 gift card from Target, a Calvin Klein purse from Beall’s and a $20 gift certificate from Shear Elegance.

A donation of $5 gets one into the raffle. Donations can be made to any member of the Historical Society or Historical Foundation’s board.

improved in this game with Portales.

“As bad as it sounds, this was an improvement over last year,” he said. “Portales came out and hit four threes in a row. We had to worry about their inside game and the post, so we collapsed the middle a lot.

We wanted to force them to hit some outside shots and they did early.

“They came out with more intensity on of fense and defense.

They are just fundamentally sound, like every Portales team we’ve ever played.”

The Huskies made it interesting by missing five free throws in the final 1:11, but survived Draymond Green’s midcourt heave at the buzzer to head into the championship game against No. 8 Kentucky or No. 13 Washington.

“This is an absolute tremendous team win,” Calhoun said.

Michigan State (3-1) had three chances to tie in the final 20 seconds, but Green missed two free throws, Kalin Lucas threw a pass to no one on a miscommunication with Durrell Summers and Green was just short on his desperation shot.

The Spartans had more

chances than that throughout the game, but struggled to get good looks against UConn’s long-andathletic defense and had some key turnovers late, including two after players fell on slippery spots near midcourt.

“I’m very disappointed with the way we finished,” Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. “We had some things that just didn’t work our way.”

Green was at his do-itall best most of the game, finishing with 22 points, 12 rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots.

He kept Michigan State in it with his offensive rebounding in the second half, but was kicking himself for missing those two free throws with 20 seconds left.

Cowboys’ McCann: 3 career games, 2 long TD returns

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Bryan McCann was not invited to the NFL’s pre-draft combine and wasn’t drafted.

The Dallas Cowboys had him all preseason, then cut him. The Baltimore Ravens picked him up, made him inactive for the opener, then sent him on his way.

At the start of this month, he hadn’t played in an NFL game.

Good thing McCann remained confident.

Because now the rookie cornerback has a nifty slice of NFL history, back-to-back NFC player of the week awards and is a big part of the Cowboys’ recent surge under interim coach Jason Garrett.

McCann returned an interception 101 yards for a touchdown two weeks ago and followed it up by grabbing a swatted punt and returning it 97 yards for another touchdown this past weekend.

He’s the first rookie ever to have touchdowns of at least 97 yards in consecutive games. According to STATS LLC, he’s only the second player to do it since 1950, joining Tony Horne of the St. Louis Rams in 1999.

And then there’s this: McCann has been chosen NFC player of the week after the second and third games of his career. He got the defensive version last week and Tuesday received the honor for special teams.

“It’s definitely a cool feeling,” he said.

The only downside to McCann’s streak is that he’ll have to do something spectacular

team fell in its season opener to Elida on Tuesday, 43-28.

The Panthers (0-1) struggled from the field, but coach Mark Lopez said that he was encouraged by the play of his team in the second half.

“It was obvious we haven’t had a lot of time to practice,” he said. “We couldn’t buy a basket in the first half. We just had a hard time getting anything to fall. We had to rely on quick shots.

“We couldn’t hit any jump shots today. The second half was much improved as far as our intensity level. We played better defense and rebounded better.”

Chance Ortiz paced the Panthers with 12 points and 11 boards while Angelo Rivera chipped in with eight points.

against the Saints on Thursday just to keep it going. He’ll need a kickoff or a fumble to continue the variety — and it better be a long one.

“I can just go out and do 90-plus (and) my production is falling,” he said, laughing. “I’ve set a high bar.”

He’s already hearing about his 4-yard dip.

“People are like, ‘You couldn’t have done 102?”’ he said.

McCann’s plays have been biggies in every sense.

The first turned a shaky lead into a solid one, the second put Dallas ahead for good.

Together, they’ve helped the Cowboys go 2-0 under Garrett after being 1-7 under Wade Phillips. They’ve also underscored the message Garrett delivered to the club in his first address after taking over, that pedigree doesn’t guarantee playing time, only performance does.

“It’s what you see in practice and what you see in the games,” Garrett said. “It doesn’t matter where you got drafted, if you are a rookie free agent or what you were. If you are doing it, we are going to give you a chance to do it more.

He has certainly been able to do that the last couple of weeks.”

Speed is McCann’s biggest asset.

On his pro day at SMU, in front of NFL scouts, McCann ran the 40-yard dash in 4.32 seconds going into the wind and 4.28 with the wind at his back. The lower figures matches the best time at the scouting combine, the one McCann wasn’t asked to attend.

Roswell Daily Record had one of the biggest upsets in college basketball history 19 years ago.

Connecticut had a quality win in its Maui opener, getting 29 second-half points from Walker to pull out a four-point win over up-and-coming Wichita State by four.

Even with the Huskies in rebuilding mode, this was a big early season matchup, physical, powerhouse teams from power conferences meeting in paradise.

The atmosphere, quiet in the day’s first two games, was juiced for the first semifinal, fans from each team separated by a set of stairs chanting and screaming with every twist, making the high schoolsized Lahaina Civic Center feel like an NCAA tournament game.

They got to see the kind of gritty, back-bending defensive game you’d expect from teams in the Big East and Big Ten, too; super athletic players knocking each other to the floor and piling on like He figured it would happen because he played for a bad team and was overshadowed by another speedster on the squad. So McCann stayed in the Dallas area, working out with other folks he knew through school. He often spent afternoons running with the women’s track team at SMU. The Cowboys invited him to training camp and he played well in the preseason. Coaches told him he was good enough to be their fourth cornerback. However, management decided to keep three.

So McCann went on waivers and the Ravens claimed him. The rules required them to put him on their active roster, but then they waived him, too, in hopes he would clear and they could sign him to their practice squad.

Baltimore GM Ozzie Newsome told him the club wasn’t happy with their punt returners and wanted to keep him around in case they decided to try someone new.

“It was definitely something that I wasn’t expecting,” McCann said. “Honestly, when that happened, I had to step back and look at all my options and think about what situation was best for me.”

Dallas was among several other clubs that called offering spots on their practice squads.

He picked the Cowboys because of the familiarity and because they were still carrying only three cornerbacks. Sure enough, injuries hit and he was activated Nov. 4 and made his debut a few days later.

“Looking at depth, you’ve got to go with where you can get on the field the fastest,” he said. “I felt like if it was another team, I definitely wouldn’t have been the next man to step in and go in and play.”

A lot of players might have been broken by

offensive linemen for loose balls.

Walker took one of the hardest shots, flying into the photographers behind the basket on a driving layup in the first half. He’s used to that kind of contact in the Big East, though, and returned minutes later to knock down a step-back 3-pointer at the shot-clock buzzer, ending up with 14 points by halftime.

The opening 20 minutes of the game was all about the counterpunch; nine ties and four lead changes, neither team able to make a run.

It ended, fittingly, tied at 34-all after UConn’s Shabazz Napier dropped in a long 3-pointer at the buzzer, setting up the final, tension-building flurry that the Huskies pulled out.

“I thought it was an NCAA tournament game or a Big East tournament game — it was that caliber of a game,” Calhoun said.

Keep it up and they’ll get to experience it again. this difficult path. McCann kept believing things would work out for the best.

“I definitely felt like I would have the opportunity,” he said. “After going through the preseason, I felt I was good enough to play in this league. So I’ve never doubted myself. It was a matter of who is going to give me my shot and when is it going to come.”

Salazar vows to speed offshore wind energy

Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Interior Secretary Ken Salazar vowed Tuesday to spur offshore wind projects in the Atlantic Ocean by expediting permits and identifying promising areas for wind power.

At a speech in Baltimore, Salazar said he will institute a “smart permitting process” that could result in leases issued within two years, instead of seven years or more.

Salazar said he and other federal officials will work with governors in 11 Atlantic Coast states to identify promising areas for wind development. If no serious problems are

identified, leases could be issued late next year or in early 2012.

Salazar said he hopes to pursue of fshore wind power along the Atlantic Coast in the same way officials are pushing solar power in the Southwest.

The announcement comes as Internet giant Google and other investors have pledged up to $5 billion for a network of deepwater transmission lines to bring power from offshore wind far ms to homes and businesses along the East Coast. The first phase is expected to cost $1.8 billion and run 150 miles in federal waters

Memorial services for Charles Albert Frederick, 60, of Roswell, will be held Saturday, Nov. 27, 2010, 11 a.m., at Highland Baptist Church with Richard Smith officiating. Charles passed away on Sunday, Nov. 21, 2010, in Roswell.

Charles was born to Morris Palmer Frederick and Helen Irene Buffum Frederick on April 28, 1950, in El Paso, Texas. He married Kathy Mask on Sept. 18, 1971, in Tucumcari. After graduation from NMMI, Charles proudly served our nation for 13 years, reaching the Army rank of sergeant E-7. He coached his sons and numerous others in baseball and life, and proudly assisted as his sons took over the role of coaches. Charles loved his brothers and sisters in Christ at Highland Baptist Church. He was never shy about sharing his Lord and Savior with others.

from New Jersey to Delaware.

Salazar and developers of the nation’s first offshore wind farm signed a lease last month launching the 130-turbine Cape Wind project off the Massachusetts coast, following an eight-year federal review.

Salazar called the Cape Wind lease “historic,” but he said a more efficient per mitting process is needed to fully harness potentially vast economic and energy benefits of wind power off the Atlantic Coast.

The Cape Wind project faced intense opposition

from two Indian tribes and some environmentalists and residents, who argue the project threatens marine life as well as maritime traffic and industry.

They also say windmills could mar the ocean view.

Salazar said the project’s developers can protect local culture and beauty while expanding the nation’s supply of renewable energy.

Conservation groups and a group representing the wind industry hailed the proposal to speed review of wind projects.

“Ocean wind power is the good witch to the bad witch of ocean oil drilling,”

Denise Bode, CEO of the American Wind Energy Association, said streamlining the multistep permitting process for of fshore wind projects was essential.

Aruba: Jawbone not that of Natalee Holloway SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A jawbone found on an Aruba beach does not belong to missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, prosecutors in the Dutch Caribbean island said Tuesday.

The jawbone is human, though it is unclear who it belongs to and whether efforts will be made to identify the person, officials said in a statement.

Dutch investigators compared the lone tooth on the bone with dental records supplied by Holloway’s family and “it could be excluded that the investigated bone material and molar came from Natalee Holloway,” the prosecutors said.

The bone was found recently by a tourist on a beach, and Aruba prosecutors had asked forensic scientists in the Netherlands to analyze it.

They assured that the Holloway case has “the constant attention from law enforcement on the island.”

The announcement once again eliminates a hope of evidence about the fate of the Mountain Brook, Alabama, student who disappeared while on a high school

graduation trip in 2005, when she was 18.

Holloway’s parents, Dave Holloway and Beth Twitty, did not respond to calls for comment.

Family attorney Vinda de Sousa told The Associated Press that the family might issue a statement later.

Earlier in the day, Carol Standifer, who said she is a close friend of the teen’s mother, told CBS’s “The Early Show” that if the bone did belong to the missing teen, “there will be some semblance of closure.”

Holloway was last seen leaving a bar with Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in her disappearance, on the final night of her trip.

Aruba prosecutors have repeatedly said they lack evidence to charge Van der Sloot, who is in jail in Peru on charges of killing a 21-year -old woman last May 30 — five years to the day after Holloway’s disappearance. He has denied killing Holloway.

U.S. law enforcement of ficials have AP Photo charged Van der Sloot with trying to extort money from Holloway’s mother to reveal Beth Twitty, mother of Natalee Holloway, speaks during the opening of the Natalee Holloway the location of Holloway’s body.

UN says AIDS epidemic slows, infections dropping

AP Photo

Michel Sidibe, Executive Director of UNAIDS, shows the UNAIDS 2010 Global Report on the global AIDS epidemic at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, Tuesday.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The global AIDS epidemic has slowed with a 20 percent decrease in new HIV infections over the past decade, the United Nations’ AIDS agency said Tuesday.

Despite claiming that the trajectory of the epidemic has been “broken,” a report released Tuesday by the Geneva-based agency said that there are still 7,000 new infections each day, which means two people are still infected with the virus for every one starting treatment.

Worldwide, the agency said, 33.3 million people are infected with HIV. In South Africa, which

has more people than any other country with the virus that causes AIDS, the agency said new infections have reduced by more than 25 percent in the same time period. AIDS has posed major challenges to the developing nation, affecting an estimated 5.7 million people — a significant chunk of the work force — in the nation of some 50 million people.

Sheila Tlou, an Africabased UNAIDS official, said that increased condom use, abstinence and improved awareness of AIDS, have contributed to the fall in infections in Africa. However, the report said sub-

Saharan Africa, described by the World Health Organization as the “epicenter of the epidemic,” continues to be disproportionately af fected by the disease, bearing almost 70 percent of the global HIV burden.

“There is time for optimism, but with a purpose,” Tlou told The Associated Press.The report also noted the success of efforts to prevent mother -to-child transmission of the virus, and said it could be virtually eliminated by 2015.

“We can say with confidence and conviction that we have broken the trajectory of the AIDS pandemic.

Less people are becoming infected. Less people are dying,” UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibe told reporters in Geneva. “At least 56 countries have stabilized or significantly slowed down the rate of HIV infection.”

The report also highlight-

ed a worrying increase in infections among young men in North America and Western Europe, which the agency believes is a consequence of fewer precautions. Cases in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Central Asia have almost tripled over the decade.

“The epidemic is far from over in North America and Western Europe,” Sidibe said, adding that complacency has played a key role in Wester n Europe. “We don’t see anymore people dying with HIV ... A new generation are losing completely the sense of urgency for protection.”

AIDS-related deaths have decreased by nearly 20 percent in the period from 2004 to 2009, as access to treatment has expanded.

UNAIDS said 5.2 million people in poor countries were accessing lifesaving anti-retroviral drugs in 2009, compared to just

700,000 in 2004.

However, approximately 10 million people — double the number on treatment — are still waiting to be initiated onto the drugs.

Another factor AIDS experts note is the increasing success of HIV treatments, but also to the cost of treating patients over their lifetime.

Tlou said she hopes the progress described in the report will prompt international donors to increase their funding.

“If people see their money has actually been put to good use, and has produced results, then we’ll probably have more replenishment, more countries pledging,” Tlou said.

Mark Heywood, deputy chairman of South Africa's National AIDS Council, said there were still more challenges than successes.

UK imposes new permanent immigration quota

Roswell Daily Record

Prime Minister David Cameron at Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport, London, Tuesday.

LONDON (AP) — Britain will impose a tough annual limit on the number of nonEuropeans allowed to work in the U.K. and slash visas for overseas students as it seeks to dramatically reduce immigration, the government said Tuesday.

Home Secretary Theresa May told the House of Commons that the number of non-EU nationals permitted to work in the U.K. from April 2011 will be capped at about 22,000 — a reduction of about onefifth from 2009.

But thousands of people who are allowed to work in Britain on intracompany transfers aren’t included in those figures — or under the new quota. Critics said that means it’s unclear how Prime Minister David Cameron’s government will meet a pledge to cut net immigration, which also includes students and families of visa holders, to below 100,000 by 2015, from about 196,000 last year.

“We can’t go on like this, we must tighten up our immigration system,” May told legislators as she announced details of the new rules.

Public anxiety over immigration — and the burden on public services caused by new arrivals — was a key issue during the country’s national election, when thenleader Gordon Brown was angrily challenged by an elderly voter over workers arriving from eastern Europe.

As a member of the European Union, Britain must allow citizens of most other

Nigeria presidential vote to be held April 9

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria’s electoral commission has announced presidential elections will be held in the oil-rich nation on April 9. Independent National Electoral Commission chairman Attahiru Jega made the announcement late Tuesday. Nigeria, home to 150 million people, has conducted a string of criticized elections since becoming a democracy more than a decade ago. The 2011 vote was initially scheduled to be held in January, but was postponed in part over concerns about having enough time to register an estimated 70 million registered voters.

Witness at Congo trial weeps over girl’s rape

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The first witness testifying at the war crimes trial of Congo’s former vice president Jean-Pierre Bemba has broken down in tears as he testified about a young girl being raped in front of her mother by rebel fighters. The witness, whose identity is being shielded while he testifies at the International Criminal Court, says the girl’s mother carried her bleeding daughter to him to report the rape.

He said Tuesday that Bemba’s troops raped the girl shortly after they arrived in his village in Central African Republic in 2002. Bemba pleaded not guilty Monday as his trial opened to charges of murder, rape and pillage.

member states freedom to live and work in the U.K. Business leaders had urged Cameron’s government against stringent restrictions on non-European workers, arguing vital sectors would be left short of staff — particularly in health care and for energy infrastructure projects.

Indian officials also warned Cameron over restricting the rights of their citizens to study and work in the U.K. during his visit in July.

May said Britain would reserve 1,000 visas each year for talented scientists, academics and artists.

“Business will be pleased to see that the gover nment has taken its concer ns onboard,” said David Frost, director of the British Chambers of Commerce.

May said her changes would limit the number of staff that international corporations are permitted to transfer to Britain from offices overseas.

In the future, no staf f member who earns less than $63,500 per year will be eligible to stay for longer than 12 months — though they will be able to carry out shorter contracts in Britain.

May did not specify how many people the policy would affect, but figures for 2009 show that half of the 22,000 admitted under the category earned less than the new salary criteria.

Labour Party legislator Ed Balls criticized the government for failing to set a

limit on intracompany transfers. “Can she confirm her supposed cap is in fact a con, a guess, a fig leaf, no cap at all?” he asked May in the Commons.

May’s quota will have only a limited impact on Britain’s overall immigration rate — as work-related visas account only for about 20 percent of migration.

Families of those with rights to live and work in Britain claim about 20 percent of visas, while non-European students arriving to study in the U.K. account for 60 percent of immigration.

May said those seeking a marriage visa will in the future need to prove they have a minimum standard of English.

Her ministry will also develop plans to drastically reduce Britain’s foreign student population, likely allowing entry only to those working on college degrees, or more advanced qualifications.

She told lawmakers there would be a more stringent regime to check the credentials of schools that offer visas to overseas students. Police and security officials have recently raised concerns over the education system being targeted by terrorists to gain permission to live in Britain.

“By introducing a system that is more selective and more robust, the government is aiming to stamp out abuse while continuing to attract the top students to our top universities,” she said.

Jewish leader receives German civilian honor

BERLIN (AP) — The German president has given one of the nation’s highest civilian honors to the outgoing head of Germany’s Central Council of Jews, praising her role in fighting extremism and anti-Semitism. In awarding Charlotte Knobloch the Large Federal Cross of Merit with a star on Tuesday, President Christian Wulff thanked her for work toward reconciliation in post-World War II Germany.

The 78-year-old Knobloch witnessed the Nazi destruction of the Munich synagogue in 1938 and survived Nazi Germany by hiding with a German family. When her term as head of the Jewish council ends on Nov. 28, she is expected to be the last survivor to lead it.

An estimated 200,000 Jews live in Germany today.

UN nuke agency: Iran enrichment temporarily halted

VIENNA (AP) — Nuclear inspectors monitoring Iran found the country’s enrichment program temporarily shut down a week ago, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported Tuesday, reflecting a possible setback for the cornerstone of the country’s nuclear activities and source of national pride.

The U.N. nuclear monitor offered no reason for the Nov. 16 stoppage witnessed by IAEA staff and described in its latest report on Iran. The inspectors were on site at the Natanz enrichment plant in central Iran for only one or two hours, and it was unclear whether the shutdown lasted just hours, days, or longer. A senior diplomat familiar with the agency’s overview of Tehran’s atomic activities said the Iranians gave IAEA inspectors no time frame or explanation.

Spicing Up Your Feast How spices changed the world

Does your family have special foods at your Thanksgiving meal? Have you ever wondered what makes this meal taste so fine? Spices and herbs are usually a big reason the food smells and tastes so great.

But what are herbs and spices, and where do they come from? The Mini Page talked with an expert at a spice manufacturing company to learn more about the spices and herbs that add flavor to a traditional Thanksgiving feast.

Through much of history, spices were so important that they were used as money. About 700 to 1,000 years ago, people used black peppercorns (the source of black pepper) to pay rent, ransoms and taxes. Many of the most important Growing spices voyages of All spices are still grown, harvested exploration, and dried by hand, much as they have including been for thousands of years.

People buy more than 15.5 million ounces of cinnamon during the holiday season. Cinnamon comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum tree.

There are several types of this tree, and each one produces a different flavor. &OR EXAMPLE THE CINNAMON TREE GROWING IN 6IETNAM HAS MORE THAN twice as many strong oils as other cinnamon trees. The extra oils make that cinnamon more spicy, like the CINNAMON TASTE IN 2ED (OTS CANDY We are most familiar with the kind of cinnamon that grows in Indonesia, the largest producer of cinnamon in the world. To harvest this cinnamon, workers hike into the mountains and cut down the trees to get the bark.

Cinnamon sticks often add flavor to drinks.

What are spices and herbs?

Workers in Vietnam peel long strips of bark from the cinnamon tree with a small knife. They then lay the strips out to dry in the sun for several days. As the bark dries, it curls into small sticks, or quills.

Farmers lay out the quills near their homes where they can keep watch on them as they dry.

Nutmeg

Ginger

Nutmeg and another spice, mace, both come from the fruit of the same tree, Myristica fragrans. Mace comes from a red covering on the shell protecting the seed. The nutmeg comes from the seed itself.

Indonesia is the world’s top nutmeg producer. Workers climb into the mountains to pick nutmeg fruit during many harvests a year.

Afterwards, the nuts are dried in the sun. The outer shell is removed and the Nutmeg fruit and seeds are sorted.

Have you ever eaten gingerbread or drunk ginger ale? Ginger is used for holiday sweets, but it is also used in many main dishes. Asian foods often contain ginger.

Ginger comes from the root of a SMALL PLANT &ARMERS DIG UP THE roots, wash off the dirt and peel off the skin. This makes the root stop growing. Then they dry the ginger roots in the sun.

6ANILLA GROWS WILD IN PARTS OF Mexico and Central America. There, one type of bee pollinates the flower.

When explorers took vanilla plants to other countries, those plants would NOT PRODUCE BEANS &OR HUNDREDS OF years, farmers could not figure out what was going wrong. They didn’t know they needed the bee to pollinate the flowers. Now people do the work of the bees, using a small, toothpicksize stick to move the pollen.

When the plants produce beans, workers pick them green. Then they go through many steps to bring out the flavor. This includes drying the beans in the sun until they are dark brown. Each night for three months, they wrap up the beans and take them inside. They unwrap them and take them back outside each day.

*When vanilla plants are hand-pollinated, workers move a yellow dust, or pollen, from one part of the flower to another part so the plant can produce vanilla beans.

6ANILLA COMES FROM THE BEANS OF AN orchid vine. But the beans can grow only when the orchid flowers are pollinated.* And each flower blooms ONLY ONE DAY A YEAR A plant might have a few different flowers blooming in one morning.

Workers have to rush to pollinate vanilla plants by hand before the flowers drop off later that day.

Tanzanian farmers prepare the red peppers used to make paprika while a child watches.

There are about 200 kinds of red pepper plants.

Red pepper is not related to black pepper, but Columbus thought it was.

Red pepper is the topselling spice in the world.

India is now the top producer.

Putin praises DiCaprio as tiger pledge signed I AM interested in buying furniture, appliances, and household items. 637-9641

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — Leonardo DiCaprio braved scary skies to get to a summit devoted to saving the worlds’ tigers, donating $1 million to the cause and earning high praise from Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

The Hollywood star arrived in St. Petersburg on Tuesday after two flight dramas, Putin said, just managing to make the meeting where officials from the 13 countries where tigers still live in the wild agreed to a program to save the iconic big cats from extinction.

DiCaprio was one of more than 200 people aboard a Moscow-bound Delta airlines flight that had to return to New York’s John F. Kennedy airport Sunday when other pilots reported seeing a flash in one engine of the departing plane. The actor then took a private jet that had to land in Finland early Tuesday for refueling because of strong wind, Putin said.

“Not everyone would be willing to take a plane again after what Mr. DiCaprio experienced, but he did,” he

told the audience at a rock concert dedicated to the tiger conservation effort.

“Here, in Russia, we call such a person a ‘real man.”

“If wildlife and tiger conservation is in the hands of people with such character, we are destined to succeed,” he said.

DiCaprio, who watched Putin at St. Peterburg’s historic Mikhailovsky theater, committed $1 million to World Wildlife Fund to help

support anti-poaching efforts and protect tiger habitat, the group said in a statement Tuesday.

DiCaprio has already helped the group raise $20 million for tiger conservation earlier this year, it said.

The number of tigers worldwide has plunged some 95 percent over the past century, to just 3,200 tigers living in the wild. The Global Tiger Recovery Program estimates the 13 nations countries will need about $350 million in outside funding in the first five years of the 12-year plan.

The countries — including Russia, whose Far East is home to Siberian tigers, the largest tiger subspecies — have agreed to double the tiger population by 2022, crack down on poaching and illicit trade in tiger pelts and body parts.

Many of them, such as Laos, Bangladesh and Nepal, are impoverished, and saving tigers may depend on sizable donations from the West. The nations will be seeking donor commitments to help finance conservation measures, the agreement said.

“The goal is difficult, but achievable,” said Putin, who has frequently used tigers to bolster his macho image, once shooting a full grown female tiger with a tranquilizer gun and placing a tracking collar on her.

He said Russia could help revive tiger populations in neighboring countries such as Iran and Kazakhstan.

Russia was the only nation where the number of tigers has increased in recent decades — from several dozens in 1947 to some 500 now, Putin said.

Wildlife experts say, however, that Siberian tigers are still endangered. Their pelts, bones and meat are prized in traditional Chinese medicine, and some 100 of them are killed annually to be smuggled to China, a senior inspector from a natural preserve in the Primorsky region said.

Rampant deforestation of cedars contributes to massive migration of animals and forces tigers to forage villages and farms, where they often get killed, Anatoly Belov said.

Producers acknowledge voting issues at ‘Dancing’ LOS ANGELES (AP) — Is a voting bloc of Sarah Palin supporters enough to give daughter Bristol the mirrorball trophy on “Dancing With the Stars”? Will Jennifer Grey’s perfect score and superior dance skills land her the win? And how will voting issues at ABC Monday night affect the outcome?

“Dancing” producers said Tuesday that “a record amount of activity” overloaded its online and telephone voting systems after Monday’s episode.

“Some viewers reported experiencing difficulties registering their votes for the Dancing with the Stars finale, which affected each finalist equally,” show producers said in a statement. “The issue was promptly addressed” and voting times were not extended.

Finalists Grey, Bristol Palin and Kyle Massey performed their last dances for viewer votes on Monday’s episode, which count for half of their overall scores toward the title.

Grey comes into Tuesday’s season finale in first place. The 50year-old actress and her professional partner, Derek Hough, earned a perfect score of 60 for their two dances on Monday’s show. Massey finished in second place with 56 points, while Palin landed in third with 52 points. All three will perform two dances on Tuesday’s show before a new “Dancing” champ is named.

Palin has made it to the finals despite so-so and at times poor performances. She said it was challenging to overcome the flurry of media coverage that erupted when she was voted in over

Brandy — who had received a perfect score for her tango — on the hit show, prompting some viewers to question the veracity of the “Dancing” voting system. At the announcement of Brandy’s elimination on that particular episode, Brandy was speechless, and Hough’s jaw quite literally dropped.

Palin’s improbable run to the finals has been championed by websites such as conservative blogger Kevin DuJan’s Hillbuzz.org, who have been leading get-out-the-vote campaigns for Palin and partner Mark Ballas.

“Are you planning on hosting a Team Bristol Monday Night Dancing Watch party?” reads a post on his website. “You ... can actually vote together and send Bristol over the top ... while sending Leftist heads into meltdown.”

“Dancing” executive producer Conrad Green said it would be fair game if Palin’s voters send her to victory Tuesday.

“If she ends up winning the show, she ends up winning the show because more people decided to make the effort to vote for her — for whatever reason they’re passionate about her — than they did for other people, and that is a valid part of the show,” he said.

Though Palin said on Monday’s episode that “there’s lots of haters out there that are waiting for me to fail,” the 20-year-old single mom said after the show that she feels she and Ballas deserve to win.

“We’ve been working our butts off,” she said.

Grey said she won’t consider

the mirrorball trophy until Tuesday’s dances are done.

“I think it’s bad juju,” she said after earning a perfect score Monday.

Massey and his partner, Lacey Schwimmer, said they’ve been having so much fun dancing together, they can hardly believe they actually have a chance at

the title.

“We have a one-in-three shot,” Schwimmer said.

“It’ll be crazy if we win,” Massey said. “I’ll be excited. I’ll probably do the worm again.”

The 19-year-old Disney Channel star did the retro dance move during his freestyle routine on Monday’s show.

The judges will have the final say Tuesday. Viewer voting is closed, but each contestant will add the judges’ scores for their two dances Tuesday to their overall Monday totals. The dancer with the highest combined total of judges’ points and viewer votes will become the new “Dancing” champ.
