NYC LOVES A PARADE

NEW YORK (AP) — A high-kicking Kung Fu Panda and a diary-toting Wimpy Kid joined the giant balloon lineup as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade unfolded Thursday, drawing tens of thousands of spectators to the annual extravaganza on a chilly, overcast morning.

Away from the outside cold, warm holiday spirit and cheer filled the Disabled American Veteran’s Hall Thursday as at least 100 volunteers and attendees enjoyed a Thanksgiving Day meal.

Community Volunteer Program held its annual free Thanksgiving feast, which featured smiles, music and, of course, turkey.

“The turnout is great,” said Johnny Gonzales, the event’s director.

With at least 65 cooked turkeys ready to be served, this year marked the 33rd annual year.

Gonzales gave a big thanks to the large turnout of volunteers, too, saying at least 75 residents came out to lend a hand.

“This is what makes Roswell — the volunteers,” said Judge Eugene De Los Santos, who was one of the many volunteers.

“I think it’s great,” he said.

In addition to all of the dinners served at the hall, Gonzales said five drivers were expected to home deliver hundreds of plates of food.

Gov. Bill Richardson compared it to a cloud being removed from the Pecos Valley’s future.

“A significant milestone” is how New Mexico State Engineer John D’Antonio described it.

“An extraordinary example of what’s possible” are the words of Greg Lewis, the Office of the State Engineer’s current Pecos River basin manager.

“It” doesn’t receive the same reviews in Hagerman.

Cliff Waide, who has been

mayor of Hagerman since 2005, says, “It has had a devastating effect on Hagerman, Lake Arthur and Dexter.”

Dan Lethrop, president of the board of directors of the Hagerman Irrigation Company, echoes Waide’s sentiment, “As a community, it was devastating.”

What could earn broad acclaim from state officials outside of the community and qualified disdain from stakeholders within it? The 2003 Pecos River Settlement.

Jody Scifres was the commander of the Violent Crimes Reduction Unit before he took over his post as deputy chief. He is pleased that his former unit is now fully staffed and feels that the community can reap the benefits.

“At that time (in 1999) we had a significant number of drive-by shootings.

to sex at young ages JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Data from New Mexico Youth Risk and Resiliency Survey (2009), conducted every other year, shows that Chaves County minors, grades 6-12, are “thinking about” sex at early ages.

“It looks like we’ve got young kids having sex and we didn’t know that before,” Dr. Linda Peñaloza, research associate professor at the University of New Mexico, and YRRS principal investigator, said. “We had not asked that question at those younger grades. Kids are being exposed to a lot of things like sexualized content, violence — a number of things that were generally not considered

appropriate for our young kids are now in our media.”

In 2009, YRRS statistics showed that 12 percent of Chaves County children grades 6-8 have already had intercourse. Of that 12 percent, five percent have had intercourse with two or more people. About 65 percent of those students surveyed answered that they had used a condom during intercourse. Only 49 percent say that they have been taught about sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS and HIV at school.

PNM partners with researchers on energy storage ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico’s largest electric utility is teaming up with federal scientists and researchers at two colleges to develop a way for managing solar energy so it can be accessed when it’s most needed, rather than only when the sun shines.

Public Service Company of New Mexico has been awarded more than $2 million by the U.S. Department of Energy for the Prosperity Energy Storage project. It’s part of the agency’s effort to improve the electrical grid nationwide and make renewable energy sources more reliable.

The lack of energy storage is one of the things that has been holding back clean energy production from renewable — yet

Animal cruelty

NEW BEDFORD, Mass.

(AP) — A New Bedford man is facing animal cruelty charges after police say he broke a bottle over a dog’s head then threw the dog in a clothes dryer.

Daniel Vaughn pleaded not guilty Wednesday to two counts of animal cruelty and released on personal recognizance.

Police say the 25-year old Vaughn was watching a friend’s Staffordshire terrier when he smashed a vodka bottle over the animal’s head.

Investigators say Vaughn admitted to putting the dog in a clothes dryer for a minute. But New Bedford Police Lt. Jeffrey Silva said there was no way the dryer could have generated enough heat to cause the thermal burns the dog sufThe Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Steve Willard, PNM’s principal investigator for the project, said developing safe and cyber-secure storage systems will be vital for PNM and other utilities.

“If we can make renewable energy even more beneficial by having that ability to control its output through batteries, then we can really identify offsets for fossil fuel resources,” Willard said.

COMING SOON: THE WARRIORS WAY

tricity that result in greenhouse gas emissions have been mounting with new federal proposals aimed at cracking down on pollution and California laws prohibiting utilities from investing in most coalfired power plants.

New Mexico also recently adopted its own capand-trade program and the state, along with dozens of others, have renewable energy portfolio standards that require utilities to provide a certain percentage of electricity from renewable sources. In New Mexico, the standard will reach 20 percent in the next 10 years.

Currently, about 60 percent of the electricity PNM provides to its 500,000 customers comes from

coal.

Officials working on the PNM project say it’s one of the largest efforts to combine solar panels and batteries for producing and storing electricity.

The battery system aims to smooth out fluctuations in power production due to cloud cover or storms as well as store power so it can be shifted to users later in the day, said Scott Kuszmaul, a researcher with Sandia National Laboratories who is working on the project.

“This is needed because without that storage, utilities like PNM cannot depend on that facility when the sun doesn’t shine,” he said.

Another focus of the project is analyzing how the solar array, battery

water usage in PVACD farther upstream on the Pecos River and the dropping water levels in the Roswell Artesian Basin.

As Richardson’s, D’Antonio’s and Lewis’ comments suggest, in many ways the settlement has been a success.

New Mexico has turned a deficit into a 100,100 acre-feet water surplus to Texas. Carlsbad, where water right holders take seniority over those in Roswell, is again getting its water. And the basin’s water levels, which were recently falling, are at least stable, at best climbing.

For its piece of the settlement puzzle, PVACD committed to retire 7,500 acres of water rights in its district — CID committed to 4,500 acres. New Mexico’s Interstate Stream Commission, the state’s agent for the water right transactions, purchased a large percentage of those water rights in and around one small agricultural community 24 miles south of Roswell.

included a full-page biography of Herrera, and the edition also had three pages of photographs from the “family archives of Madam Secretary Mary Herrera.”

Herrera said her staff has been working on the latest volume of the Blue Book since May. She said its publication was delayed because of several vacancies on her staff and because her of fice was

focused on the elections.

She also said she saved money by ordering only 5,000 copies instead of the 15,000 of previous years.

The previous cost was $75,000, she said.

Because of other priorities, including preparing for the legislative session that begins Jan. 18, Duran said she probably wouldn’t have a Blue Book ready for six to eight months, “if we’ve got any

lish an up-to-date edition, Herrera said the new secretary of state could publish one.

However, incoming secretary of state, Republican Dianna Duran, said publishing the book now is irresponsible.

“The state is in a critical budget crisis and she’s spending $44,000 on a book that’s going to be outdated as soon as it comes out?” Duran said.

“You’ve got to be very careful in spending taxpayers’ money.”

This isn’t the first time Herrera has been criticized over publication of the Blue Book.

The previous volume for 2007-2008 featured a fullpage color photo of Herrera near the front of the book and another color photo in the chapter on the secretary of state’s of fice. That chapter

acres of farmland in production throughout PVACD territory, the voluntary transactions were concentrated in Hagerman, Dexter and Lake Arthur.

There, since 2003, 4,400 acres of water rights have been retired, almost 60 percent of PVACD’s entire commitment, continuing a trend of water right leases and retirements in the area back that date back to the early 1990s.

“Fundamentally, in this valley, water is life,” says Lethrop. Without that lifeblood, the result — a less vibrant community — is not surprising.

Farmers without water can’t farm. They can’t hire employees. They can’t purchase seed, tractors, etc. from local businesses.

While the number of dollars in economic output lost with the water rights proved evasive, Dr. Michael Patrick, a New Mexico State University extension economist, offers 1.5 as a realistic multiplier for agricultural operations in Hagerman’s economy, meaning every dollar lost would result in an additional loss of $1.50.

For the voluntary water

right retirement, ISC paid Hagerman, Dexter and Lake Arthur water right holders more than $20 million. However, as far as Waide and Lethrop can tell, the one-time payments have long since disappeared into retirement accounts, relocations and Winnebagos; the money hasn’t made a detectable imprint on the community.

On an autumn afternoon, standing across from the modest Hagerman town hall on West Argyle Street, fewer than a handful of people and cars are on the move.

Waide and Cassius Mason, the director of the community’s department of public safety, quickly rattle off a list of closures they relate to the retired water rights — two grocery stores, two gas stations, the lumberyard, two barbershops, two bars, three cafés, a vehicle dealership, an insurance agent ...

Frustrated as they are, neither has given up hope.

For his part, Waide tries not to blame the settlement that tipped the dominoes falling down on Hagerman.

“This was probably the

smallest economic loss for the valley,” he says. “The alternative could have been worse.”

Aron Balok, PVACD’s water resource specialist, is adamant that the state and nation must hold onto the dwindling farmland acreage it has in production. Still, he says, “This was a necessary, if unsavory, option. Hopefully we put ourselves in a place where we won’t have to do it again.”

Waide sounds a hopeful note about the prospects that Hagerman will develop economic alternatives to the alfalfa and corn silage that used to power Hagerman’s economy, and still do to a lesser extent.

He’s proud of the thriving agricultural operations that still give Hagerman a pulse. He’s proud of the town’s industrial park (the business lots come with water rights). And he’s proud of the fact that Fat-

ance Standards attempt to “recognize media messages that may contain both healthy and unhealthy messages in areas related to sexuality.”

YRRS statistics also show that as teens enter high school, more of their peers are having intercourse and mixing other recreational adult activities with sex.

In 2009, about 15 percent of teens in grades 912 who said that they were having sex also used alcohol or drugs prior to sex.

About 56 percent of students surveyed claimed to use a condom.

Other statistics show that 23 percent of active high school teens use no method of birth control.

The end result has been the highest rate of teen

pregnancy in the nation, according to Laura D’Arezzo, GRADS teacher at University High School, who works with teen mothers and fathers in Roswell.

“I get them in our program straight from 8th grade,” D’Arezzo said.

“They don’t even have a chance to start high school without having a child. None of them expected it. ... it wasn’t a conscious decision.”

Fables about sex are the biggest enemies of educators and parents.

“One of them said that if you do three back flips after having sex, then you don’t get pregnant,” D’Arezzo said. “The myths that people believe. There needs to be something more in the preventive area that we don’t really

have.”

Many believe that the debate over who should teach or talk about health and sex education begins and ends in the home.

Parents and schools have dif ferent views on this topic because of its sensitive nature.

“School is where students are to be taught facts,” Peñaloza said.

“Health education has to do with science and has to do with facts. Not all parents are aware of the most current research. I think that health education is very important to the schools. It’s not necessarily happening at home, and it’s not necessarily happening in a way that is consistent and reliable.

Kids should be given the opportunity to be given the

information they need that is age-appropriate, factual and not confusing.”

State health education benchmarks, for grades 912, cover several subjects.

Putting the vast amount of available health information in context might prove to be dif ficult, with the number of online resources available to the public.

For example, when looking at available Internet resources, one can access about.com for tips on abstinence and safe sex.

Still, experts believe that such resources are lacking in informative facts and instruction.

“Kids need to be taught the truth about the outcomes of sexual behavior — the risks for them,” Peñaloza said. “I think we

three minutes. We’ll go in on a bust and when we talk to the neighbors, we learn that they knew all along.”

Scifres also recommends citizens direct their calls to the right division. “Violent Crimes Reduction Unit and the Drug Task Force are all part of the same division.”

Drugs are the common denominator in most crimes.

He urges people to check RPD’s website. “If you don’t have a computer, go to the library.”

RPD also plans to release

a most wanted list. “We want to prevent crime,” he said.

According to Scifres, most crimes are done by a small percentage of people.

He estimates that about 1 to 2 percent of the people are responsible for 80 to 90 percent of the crimes.

OPINION

Martinez’s appointments yield some surprises

SANTA FE — Gov.-elect Susana Martinez is still over a month away from assuming office but she is likely busier than most of her predecessors. Not only does she have a crushing budget deficit to tame, she also is a star in the national Republican Party and getting much attention there.

She was selected to the Republican Governors Association leadership team and is being mentioned as a possible 2012 vice-presidential candidate or as a U.S. attorney general nominee if the GOP wins the next presidential sweepstakes.

But transition work comes first.

Much is happening on the third floor of the state Capitol Building, where legislative offices are turned over to transition teams every time a new governor is elected. Some of the work is being done down in Las Cruces and there has even been a report of activity in a hotel near the El Paso airport.

For the first time ever, there will be an inaugural ball in Las Cruces

INSIDE THE CAPITOL

in addition to the usual balls in Santa Fe. It is nice to see another part of the state get in on some of the action.

Martinez quickly announced former U.S. Rep. Heather Wilson as her transition chairwoman and then several of her transition teams. Few other public announcements have been made since then but a pattern appears to have emerged.

T ransition teams for energy and environment have been heavily weighted toward the oil business and land developers, indicating a relaxed regulatory climate is on the way. That will be a relief to many who have contended that rules promulgated during

the administration of Gov. Bill Richardson have chased businesses out of state.

Another pattern may lie in the number of women Martinez and Wilson have appointed to transition teams and other top jobs.

The presence of women in the governors’ office and in cabinet level jobs is not unusual in New Mexico. Women often have served as chiefs of staff to governors.

Gov. David Cargo (1967-70) enticed Maralyn Budke away from the Legislative Finance Committee to be his chief of staff.

Twenty years later, Republican Gov. Garrey Carruthers convinced Budke to come out of retirement to be his chief of staff.

She insisted on receiving only $1 per year to head his administration.

Linda Kehoe headed Gov. Bruce King’s of fice for many years and Shirley Scarfiotti was Gov. Toney Anaya’s top hand during his administration.

Another somewhat unexpected

Roswell Daily Record

development occurred with the appearance of the Domenici influence. Pete Domenici Jr. was one of Susana Martinez’s competitors in the June Republican primary.

On election night, Domenici was the only one of the five guber natorial candidates to appear at the state GOP election night party in Albuquerque. Martinez was in Las Cruces and the other three held their own functions.

During an interview that evening Domenici said he would support the winning candidate.

The Domenici support for Martinez was not particularly obvious during the general election campaign but now that Martinez is the governor -elect, the Domenici stamp is all over her campaign.

Transition team head Heather Wilson would not have made it to the U.S. House of Representatives without Pete Domenici Sr.’s help.

Pete Jr. is chairman of the Energy and Environment transition team, which obviously will be very

important to the incoming administration.

Steve Bell, a former Domenici chief of staff, heads the transition team to select a chief of staff for Martinez. Former Domenici aide Lou Gallegos also is on that team.

One group that might have been expected to be heavily represented on Martinez’s transition team is Hispanics. But Martinez has frequently said that she doesn’t want to be known as the nation’s first female Hispanic governor. She wants to be known as the governor who pulled New Mexico out of its economic slump.

As this is being written, Martinez has not finished naming all her transition appointments.

Reaction to the remaining appointments may give her a good indication about what she would like to see in the composition of her cabinet.

National Opinion Pope’s comments on condom use

Opaque as it is, Pope Benedict XVI’s statement that condom use might be justified to prevent the transmission of AIDS is a significant development. His fellow bishops, especially those in Africa, should feel liberated to apply the pope’s observation to a public health effort that has been hampered by the Vatican’s dogmatism.

As his critics point out, the pope’s comments — in a newly published book of interviews — fell short of endorsing widespread use of prophylactics to prevent the transmission of AIDS and other diseases, and they certainly didn’t question the church’s opposition to contraception. But they contrast dramatically with his insistence last year that society “can’t resolve (the AIDS epidemic) with the distribution of condoms. On the contrary, it increases the problem.” No amount of spin by church officials can disguise that change. (The Vatican spokesman said that “the pope is not reforming or changing the teaching of the church.”)

Still, for all the qualifications, Benedict has acknowledged the applicability to AIDS of the traditional Catholic doctrine of the “double effect” ...

It’s unrealistic to expect this conservative pope to modify the church’s strictures against birth control or to stop pressing for abstinence. But we hope Benedict’s words reflect his recognition that common sense, and Christian charity, require a more compassionate approach than the church has offered in the past.

Guest Editorial Los Angeles Times

GM bailout

The dramatic turnaround story of General Motors has etched another milestone with a successful stock market offering, reducing the government’s ownership share well below the crucial 50 percent mark.

GM’s improved prospects are welcome news for taxpayers, who backed a $50 billion bailout for the company, and a clear sign that the economic recovery remains on track. So far this year, the company has reported earnings of nearly $5 billion.

In 2009, when GM emerged from bankruptcy, its future was shaky. The economy was crawling out of recession, and the recovery has been glacial.

But the company has sliced its debt load, cut its executive payroll, gained a new labor contract, shuttered factories, pared its excessive portfolio of dealerships and eliminated some brand names, such as Pontiac.

Remaining are solid performers like Buick, Cadillac and Chevrolet, including the popular Malibu made in the Kansas City area.

Despite GM’s successful return to public trading, the company still owes a hefty amount to taxpayers.

Even so, GM is undeniably on its way back, and that’s something to cheer.

Please help!

DEAR READER: Since my last column about plantar warts, I have received many letters about various treatments. Many of the readers claim that over -the-counter and physician treatments offered limited success, with the warts either returning or never completely disappearing. Many also complained of the pain associated with these treatments, which is why they

We need leaders we all can follow

William Bradford, governor of the Plymouth Colony, was a remarkable leader who endured much from Europe to the coastal regions of North America.

Born in 1590 in a small farming town in England, he was only 1 year old when his father died, 4 when his grandparents took over his guardianship, 6 when his grandfather died and 7 when his mother died.

In 1620, at 30 years old, William and his wife, Dorothy, sold their house and joined the Mayflower expedition and sailed for America. Tragically,

By far the most common remedy I received was iodine.

The wart is first pumiced to remove the layers of dead skin and then the iodine is applied.

Another reader took one 500-milligram capsule of olive leaf extract three times a day and was wart-free in three months.

Another person reported success treating her boyfriend’s plantar warts with a cotton ball soaked in apple cider vinegar applied to the wart and secured with duct tape each night. After a few weeks the warts were gone.

In 1621, William was elected to be the second governor of Plymouth, and he was re-elected nearly every year thereafter.

One thing that has made America great is its long lineage of valiant leaders in every generation. These are the type of men and women about whom our sixth president, John Quincy Adams, said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

treatments are usually successful in eradicating the virus, thus causing the wart to disappear.

A final reader, attempting to avoid surgery to remove her son’s wart, was advised by a friend to use an herbal product known as Wart Wonder.

I cannot recommend or condemn any of these approaches because I have no experience with them. Please let me know if you and your daughter try any of these options and what your results are.

One more extraordinary example of that type of leadership can be found in my friend and the new commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James Amos.

the world) were thrilled to hear.

According to The Washington Post, military officials say Amos is an innovative thinker about future combat and a passionate advocate for finding additional resources to treat Marines diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injuries. To boot, Amos is a man of great faith in God. And he’s now the first Marine commandant with a background as a naval aviator. (In choosing Amos, Gates passed over Gen. James N. Mattis, who is one of the military’s best minds regarding waging war on insurgents.)

Before Amos was selected as head of the Marine Corps, however, he weathered a rather unique vetting period.

Amos’ poise and leadership was vividly on display for the country and the world to see when he was grilled by members of the Senate Armed Services Committee for an hour in a hearing in which the questioning was almost exclusively about gays in the military.

Amos was again on the hot seat when he spoke recently with reporters during a Southern California visit to mark the Marines’ 235th birthday. With American troops on the battlegrounds in Afghanistan and still deployed in Iraq, Amos said now is not the time to overturn the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy prohibiting gays from openly serving in the military.

Amos explained: “This is not a social thing. This is combat effectiveness. ...

There’s risk involved. I’m trying to determine how to measure that risk. ... There is nothing more intimate than young men and young women — and when you talk of infantry, we’re talking our young men — laying out, sleeping alongside of one another and sharing death, fear and loss of brothers. I don’t know what the effect of that will be on cohesion. I mean, that’s what we’re looking at. It’s unit cohesion; it’s combat effectiveness.”

I applaud Amos for caring more for the troops than for being politically correct.

He deserves the accolades of military personnel and all citizens alike. Americans should feel proud and safer to have him serving as the commandant of the Marine Corps. If we had more leaders like him in this world, we wouldn’t be in half the hurt that we are. In fact, as an

He said to apply the product twice a day, and every three days either scrape or pumice the wart and start the process over again.

Lastly, with gratefulness in our hearts, I encourage and challenge Americans everywhere to heed the call of William Bradford, who admonished: “Inasmuch as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us from the ravages of the savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. Now I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill, between the hours of 9 and 12 in the day time, on Thursday, November 29th of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and twenty-three and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to ye Almighty God for all His blessings.”

DEAR READER: Unfortunately, this situation is becoming more and more common. As you saw in my last column and in the above letter, many readers are frequently dissatisfied with the care they get from a doctor for common and plantar warts, not to mention how painful some of the procedures can be.

Remember, readers, that warts are caused by a virus and are commonly acquired by touching

other warts (such as those on the hands), or by being barefoot in public showers or pool areas.

Simple precautions such as hand sanitizers, wearing flips flops or water shoes, and using warm soap and water can help prevent outbreaks.

Class 4A football has been owned by teams from the south for the past 10 seasons.

On Saturday, the south’s two remaining playof f teams square off for the right to play for a state championship.

And it’s no surprise to anyone in the state that those two teams are Goddard and Artesia, which have combined to win four straight, and seven of the past 10, 4A state championships.

The Rockets (11-0) and Bulldogs (7-4) meet on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Bulldog Bowl in Artesia.

That matchup is one that has quickly become one of the state’s fiercest rivalries and one in which the two teams have no secrets from one another.

“It’s Artesia and I don’t think much will change for either team,” said Rocket coach Sam Jernigan, who is 10-14 all-time against the Bulldogs.

“When you’ve been coaching for as many years as (Artesia) Coach (Cooper) Henderson and I have, you’ve done all that in the past where you try to come up with a whole new of fense or defense for a game like this. Then you mature a little bit and you realize, ‘no, that’s the wrong thing to do.’”

Keeping things the same means a ground-andpound bruising run game from the Rockets and a pass-heavy spread attack from the Bulldogs.

Artesia will mix in the run more than they have in the past with Andy Lopez, a quick and shifty back that became the first Bulldog to run for more than 1,000 yards in a season earlier this year in the regular season meeting between Goddard and Artesia.

When they throw it, it’s next-level prospect Josh Houghtaling doing the throwing and Koby Caton, Dacotah Watts, Dylan Romine, Ryan Bledsoe and Chance Allen doing the

catching.

The Rockets counter with a ground game that features a tailback/quarterback tandem that has combined for nearly 3,000 yards and more than 30 touchdowns this season.

David Anaya is the No. 1 option in that ground-oriented attack. The junior has 2,120 yards and 27 TDs on the ground this season.

R yan Quarterback Greene has put up some gaudy stats of his own this season. The junior signal caller is closing in on the 1,000-yard mark and is second on the team in rushing yards and TDs. “I don’t expect (each team’s game plan) to be much different. I do think it’s going to be a great ballgame,” Jernigan said. “I think you do the things you’ve done all year, you try to do them well and you try to improve. That’s where you hang your hat.”

Playing in the state semifinals has become a tradition for both schools.

11-0

Goddard vs. Artesia

The Rockets are playing in the semifinals for the sixth straight season and are looking for their fifth straight berth in the state finals.

Artesia, meanwhile, has been in the semifinals nine times in the last 11 seasons and is seeking the program’s 31st appearance in a state championship game.

Preparing to play in the semifinals under the current playoff format means practicing on Thanksgiving, which is something

the Rockets have adapted well to, according to Jernigan.

“I try to keep it as much in rhythm as much as we can,” he said. “All of us are creatures of habit, so anything you can do to stay in as much rhythm as you can is a good thing for you.

“I think (the kids) are fine. We just go back to the same adage all the time, ‘take it one day at a time and one step at a time, and all the rest of the stuff falls in place.’”

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — One shoe or two, Brad Smith was too much for the Bengals.

Smith, the Jets’ Mr. Everything, scored on an 89-yard kickoff return during which he lost his left shoe and also had a 53yard touchdown run in New York’s 26-10 victory over Cincinnati on Thursday night.

Hours after New England beat Detroit to improve to 9-2, New York matched the Patriots and the Jets are off to the second-best start in team history — eclipsed only by the 1986 squad that won 10 of its first 11. And the Jets did it by overcoming a sluggish first half and sending the struggling Bengals (2-9) to their eighth straight loss.

The Jets and Patriots meet for the AFC East lead in their next game, a meaty Monday night matchup Dec. 6 at New England.

New York has beaten Cincinnati three times in less than a year, including the regular-season finale that got the Jets into the playoffs, then in the wildcard game the following week.

Santonio Holmes scored his fourth touchdown in three games on a 13-yard reception from Mark Sanchez after Cincinnati’s Andre Caldwell had a punt deflect off him while he was blocking.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Drew Brees was a young Dallas Cowboys fan cheering on Jason Garrett during his amazing comeback victory on Thanksgiving 1994.

With Garrett and the Cowboys on the verge of another holiday stunner, Brees and the New Orleans Saints snatched it away.

Brees and the Saints went from leading by 17 to trailing midway through the fourth quarter. The Cowboys were about to seal the victory with a long pass play when safety Malcolm Jenkins swiped the ball back and Brees drove 89 yards for a go-ahead touchdown 1:55 left. Dallas’ David Buehler narrowly missed a 59-yard field goal with 25 seconds left that would’ve tied it, and the Saints held on for a 30-27 victory Thursday.

“It was kind of a gutcheck win,” New Orleans coach Sean Payton said.

Brady throws four touchdowns as Pats throttle Lions

DETROIT (AP) — Tom Brady was perfect on the field and his exit was first class.

Brady threw a seasonhigh four touchdown passes, all in the second half, and the New England Patriots routed the Detroit Lions 45-24 on Thursday after trailing by 11 late in the second quarter.

“We showed some resiliency, coming out in the second half and playing the way we did when the crowd was into it,” Brady said.

Following Brady’s brief news conference, the former Michigan star jogged out of Ford Field — limping slightly up a steep ramp — hugged Robert Kraft and got into an idling limo with the team owner behind a police escort.

New England (9-2) moved a half-game ahead of the AFC East rival New York Jets — who played Cincinnati on Thursday night — for the NFL’s best record,

setting up a showdown at home Dec. 6.

“I don’t think we’re at where we need to be at,” Brady said. “But this is a tough group.”

No one in the red, white and blue is tougher than Brady.

After taking a ton of shots early in the game, the three-time Super Bowl winner and two-time MVP bounced back to complete 21 of 27 passes for 341 yards with no interceptions, giving him a perfect quarterback rating of 158.3 for the second time in his career.

“He’s like a surgeon,” Detroit center Dominic Raiola said.

Brady threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Deion Branch early in the fourth quarter after connecting with him on a 79-yarder to tie it at 24. Wes Welker’s second TD reception sealed the victory with 6:42 left, putting the Patriots ahead by two TDs and making

their double-digit deficit a distant memory.

“When you outscore a team 35-7 in the second half, a lot of things have to go right,” New England coach Bill Belichick said.

The Lions (2-9) are used to things going wrong, especially on Thanksgiving.

Detroit has lost a franchise-record seven straight games — by an average of nearly 23 points — in its annual showcase.

“This one is really tough because we gave everybody so much hope,” Raiola said.

then boom, boom, boom.”

Brady became the first to have a perfect passer rating this season with a minimum of five attempts, according to STATS LLC. His first perfect game was Oct. 21, 2007, when he threw a career-high six TD passes in a victory over Miami.

“If we give him time, there’s nothing he can’t do,” guard Logan Mankins said. “He’s going to find the guy that’s open, and he’s going to get them the ball.

The rest is up to us.”

Brady had plenty of help with Welker and Branch through the air and BenJarvus Green-Ellis on the ground.

Green-Ellis ran for two TDs, matching a career high. His second one capped the scoring with 3:14 left and led to several pushing and shoving matches with the frustrated Lions.

Shaun Hill was 27 of 46 for 285 yards with one TD — to Calvin Johnson at the end of the first quarter that put the Lions up 7-3 — and two interceptions to rookie cornerback Devin McCourty.

Maurice Morris ran for two TDs, matching his total in two seasons in Detroit.

Smart move: Keith Smart gets chance with Warriors

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Keith Smart seriously considered walking away from Indiana well before he hit “The Shot” that won the Hoosiers the 1987 NCAA title, unsure he could deal with demanding, fiery coach Bob Knight.

Turns out, he stuck with it — an old mentor reminded him he wasn’t one to quit. Those experiences under Knight’s critical eye, along with many other coaches over the years, went a long way in how Smart handles his own players today.

“Rudy Tomjanovich told me, ’Know the pulse of your team,”’ Smart said. “As I kept moving through with different coaches and different styles, I started paying attention to what I was learning from this coach, good or bad, what I was learning from that coach, good or bad.”

Golden State’s first-year coach walked around the locker room before training camp this fall asking for a handshake from each one of the Warriors, signaling a pact that they would allow Smart to coach them and be involved in their lives. Some looked at Smart in disbelief or didn’t look at him at all. Andris Biedrins, for one, acknowledges he hesitated to commit at all before eventually reaching out his hand.

“I was thinking to shake his hand or not,” said Biedrins, the Latvian center who also was coached by Smart on the national team in his home country. “He was holding his hand out. I said, ’OK, coach.”’

Smart played for the collegiate wins leader in Knight and worked as right-hand man to the NBA’s all-time leader in victories, Don Nelson.

Nelson, relaxing these days at his Hawaiian home on Maui, still checks in with Smart at least once a week.

“All young assistants want to have the opportunity to one day work for one of the heavyweights,” Smart said.

Smart spent seven years as an assistant with Golden State, passing up opportunities to

“That was a big play by Devin that really swung the game,” Belichick said.

Detroit recovered, going ahead midway through the third quarter, but the lead didn’t last long.

Brady found Branch, who was wide open, and he ran circles around Alphonso Smith on the 79-yard scoring play 22 seconds later.

Branch beat Smith on his next TD with 13:45 left in the first half, sending the cornerback to the bench in a move that was made much too late to help the Lions.

ball was snapped for Buehler’s kick, which would’ve given the Cowboys another chance. But the officials didn’t give it to him, so the play stood.

“Fortunately, I did not,” Payton said.

The Saints, playing on the holiday for the first time, won their fourth straight and fifth in six games to improve to 8-3.

Dallas (3-8) lost for the first time in three games since Garrett became interim coach.

“I think we demonstrated again what we’ve done the last few weeks — battle and fight,” Garrett said.

“There were a lot of things to be proud of. Guys played with a lot of passion, energy and enthusiasm. ... But you’ve got to get the bottom line right.

We didn’t get it done.”

Sixteen years ago, Garrett was a third-string quarterback making a rare start in place of Troy Aikman when the Cowboys fell behind Brett Favre and the Packers 173. Garrett rallied them a 42-31 victory that’s among the most stirring in team lore.

This one would’ve been up there, too. Instead, it may go down with Leon Lett’s snowy gaffe in 1993 as one that got away.

“This is a game that, if

go elsewhere he knows might not have landed him the opportunity he has now — with the team that drafted him 41st overall in the second round in 1988. Smart nearly left once, but thenteam executive Chris Mullin talked him out of it.

Smart believed in staying in one place, while maintaining stability for his family.

The Warriors are off to a 7-8 start, playing a more traditional style than they did under Nelson with his small-ball lineups. Smart replaced Nelson in late September, the first big change since Warriors owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber bought the team from Chris Cohan.

“I told them I had everything under control,” Smart said of a recent chat with the bosses.

“Everybody held their breath for a moment.”

Yes, the 46-year-old Smart is the man in charge at last, leading his own team for the first time — save for a stint as the Cleveland Cavaliers’ interim head coach for the final 40 games in 2003 after taking over for John Lucas.

Smart spent 10 years in all as an NBA assistant.

Not that you’d notice any change in this down-to-earth married father of two basketballplaying boys. He still tries to get home for a family dinner whenever possible.

His new office is three times bigger.

“It feels no different than what I’ve always been doing in life. It really doesn’t,” Smart said.

“I just have the title and all that comes with it, but the person is still the same. Never changed a bit. ... I’m going to live longer than I’m coaching, so I have to stay who I am, you know?”

He religiously wakes up at 5:30 a.m. and arrives in his downtown Oakland office by 7 to start a long day of film study, practice and other preparation.

When out and about, the modest Smart swears he’s not recognized on the streets.

“I can blend in because I’m just 6-1,” he said. “It’s mostly the teenagers, the young kids, who recognize me.”

Smart’s ability to lead and take charge largely began when he was 13. His parents split up for a brief five-month period — they now have been married 46 years — and he was thrust into a father-figure role for his three younger brothers.

“I grew up fast,” he said.

His mother taught all her boys to clean, cook, do laundry and sew. The brothers aren’t surprised to see Smart in a similar role today.

Smart is a boss and father figure “to grown men.”

“This promotion for him obviously was well deserved,” said brother Herb Smart, a high school girls basketball coach in New Hampshire. “It just showed that you pay your dues and you will be rewarded for it. The biggest thing for him was waiting his time and once the opportunity was there he fell right into it.”

Yet Smart, who played very little organized basketball in high school before becoming a junior college All-American, had long dreamt of a prosperous NBA playing career. After the Warriors drafted him, he was cut twice in three weeks and wound up in the CBA and overseas, instead. This only a year after he knocked down the baseline jump shot that lifted Indiana over Syracuse for the national title.

Nine years later, during the summer of 1997, Smart reached a new point in his life. He

was ready to take the next step, from player to coach.

It took a fire ravaging through his lakeside condominium in Bloomington, Ind. — and destroying everything, including all the memorabilia from his glory days with the Hoosiers and 20 pairs of new Nike shoes still in boxes he planned to wear the next season — and leaving him with just his wife, Carol, and young son, Andre, to come to that realization. The entire neighborhood was hit by the blaze.

“You went from just going about your life today to all of a sudden having zero,” Smart recalled. “I thought: ’Oh well, it must be a sign.

I’ve lost my shoes.’ We had no clothing, nothing. Here I was watching everything we had go up in smoke and it was like a cool peace came over me and just said: ’Look, you’re holding the most important things in your life. You can get all that back.”’

He did get things back. People offered him photos and mementos of his days as a college star.

For Smart, the ordeal provided new perspective on everything. At Knight’s urging, he went to Fort Wayne, Ind., to coach in the CBA rather than taking a job on the Hoosiers staff.

“That was one of the pieces that showed him, ’Hey, nothing is here forever,”’ Herb Smart said of the fire.

Nelson groomed Smart for this gig for a while. One night, Nellie told the players that Smart was in charge and would coach them all game — and Nelson would offer input on occasion, or not. Smart also filled in when Nelson was sidelined with pneumonia for a period early last season. That stretch included a 111-103 victory at Dallas on Nov. 24, 2009, with only six players.

Nelson instructed Smart never to take notes on how he did things but rather just watch him.

During the team’s 2007 playoff season, Nelson went to talk to volatile guard Stephen Jackson and sat right down on the court beside him.

you let it, it will rip your heart out,” Dallas quarterback Jon Kitna said. “You feel like you played well enough to win — you just didn’t.”

The Cowboys trailed 170 after the first three times the Saints had the ball.

New Orleans also were up 20-3 just before halftime.

Garrett constantly preaches to his club that they’re going to face adversity, so he wants them to be ready to handle it. The same group that fell apart under his predecessor, Wade Phillips, showed lots of spunk with their response to this challenge.

Buehler made a careerbest 53-yarder as the second quarter ended to start a run of points on four straight possession. After a punt ended the streak, Dallas bounced back on the next series, getting a 1-yard touchdown run from Tashard Choice to go ahead 27-23 with 5:51 left.

The Cowboys were on their way to stretching the lead or killing the clock when Roy Williams broke free with a catch and raced 47 yards toward the end zone, following a block

by Miles Austin. He switched the ball from one hand to another to avoid a defender he saw. But he didn’t see Jenkins and got the ball plucked from him at the 11.

Gates sore after limited practice with Chargers

SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego Chargers star tight end Antonio Gates was in pain as he tried to practice in a limited role Thursday.

Gates has missed the last two games because of a torn plantar fascia in his right foot.

He said Wednesday that he wanted to practice in the days leading up to Sunday night’s game at Indianapolis to gauge his progress.

Thursday was his chance, as he participated in individual drills and a select number of team plays.

“I wanted to see how I would respond to defenders being in the way and making unexpected cuts in the flow of a route,” Gates said.

“Everything has been controlled to this point. I didn’t finish, but I’m incredibly sore.”

Gates was clearly in pain after practice, grimacing through an interview session. He said was able to move well but wasn’t optimistic. He said he’ll wait until Friday to determine if he truly took a positive step toward playing Sunday night at Indianapolis.

“I did this kind of running last week and then I couldn’t go for two days,” Gates said. “I couldn’t even walk on a treadmill. I don’t know what my response is going to be, but I feel like I’m making progress. But it’s so painful, and I have to figure out if I can play through that.”

Gates also has to factor in the artificial turf at Lucas Oil Stadium, which could be a deterrent. Gates hopes little steps like Thursday’s practice will expedite his rehab and get him back on the field, whether it’s this week or in the future.

“The soreness is going to be there, and I have to deal with it,” Gates said. “I’m trying to speed this process up as much as I can by working through the soreness, so I can get back on the field as quickly as possible.”

Denver’s thirtysomething DBs have ups and downs

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — A month ago, the questions about Brian Dawkins were how seemingly ageless he was, making plays at 37 like he did when he was 24.

teammates down. I need to fall down. We run the clock down and win the game. I was trying to make a play and they did a good job. It’s late in the game. That’s the nail in the coffin. We had the momentum going our way.

We were there. That was a W. I get tackled, we get in the end zone and we win. I fall down and we win.”

Jenkins said he chased the play with only one thought — “get the ball out.”

“He didn’t see me from the blind side,” Jenkins said. “A bad play turned good for us. Not only ripped it out, it just kind of fell in my stomach.”

Brees then drove the Saints 89 yards in five plays. He hit Robert Meachem for 55 yards and Lance Moore on a 12-yard touchdown strike.

The Cowboys had one try left, and Kitna got them close enough to give Buehler’s powerful leg a try. The kick had plenty of distance, but fluttered left before reaching the uprights.

The game was filled with would-be heroes like Miles Austin, who kick-started Dallas’ rally by taking an end around 60 yards for a touchdown on the second play of the second half, and would-be goats like Reggie Bush, who had a forgettable return from an eight-game layoff because of a broken foot.

After his performance Monday night at San Diego, fans were left to wonder if time has quickly caught up to the four-time All-Pro safety who remains one of the game’s hardest hitters when he’s not left grasping at — and gasping for — air.

Dawkins’ swing and miss at receiver Patrick Crayton resulted in a 40-yard touchdown strike that gave the Chargers a two-touchdown halftime lead. He looked even worse later when he failed to take down Darren Sproles, who sprinted 57 yards for score after Dawkins failed to bring him down in the flat.

The Broncos are kissing it off to a bad game by a great player, not a harbinger that his playing days are coming to a close.

“That’s football,” coach Josh McDaniels said. “Players never intend to make a mistake.

Players never intend to have a game where they don’t play as well. But I think that’s just being human. And it doesn’t matter if you’re old or young. We had young players that played well two weeks ago, too, and didn’t play well on Monday night.

“So, everybody looks for an excuse or a reason why a performance could change in a short time span, but I think the best thing I can say is if you look at our team, that’s pretty much what our team has done.”

The Broncos (3-7) haven’t won back-toback games in nearly a year.

Denver’s defensive coordinator, Don Martindale, was much more adamant in his defense of his big-time defender, suggesting it was unfair to judge the man based on one performance.

“There was two plays that everybody wants to talk about but they forget about the thousands that he’s made,” Martindale said. “And I think it’s really easy to go after someone like that, but every time I tell you, it takes all 11 (players) and also myself making a good call.

“And I know he’s going to bounce back, if you want to call it that — or, he’s just going to continue being the Hall of Famer that he is, which that’s the way I see it.”

On Crayton’s score, the Broncos’ bigger sin is probably not having players in proper position behind him.

“Without a doubt,” Martindale said. “He was in double coverage on another person and came off of him, OK? So, the pursuit should have been there. Like I said, it’s all 11 of us.”

Dawkins’ play is far from the biggest concern in Denver’s seasoned secondary that’s dotted with thirtysomethings.

Cornerback Andre’ Goodman has missed most of the season with injuries and will be deactivated Sunday against St. Louis (4-6) for the seventh time this season. A year ago, the 32-year-old Goodman led the Broncos in interceptions (five) and pass breakups (17) while posting a career-best 43 tackles and starting all 16 games.

Safety Renaldo Hill, who turned 32 two weeks ago, is playing well but his pass interference flag on Mark Sanchez’s desperation fourth-down heave toward the end zone last month produced a heartbreaking 24-20 punchto-the-gut loss to the Jets.

Cornerback Champ Bailey is still stellar at age 32, but he could be entering the final month and a-half in Denver. After offering him an extension, they snatched it back before he could sign it.

Bailey was willing to stay in Denver, but now that the Broncos have lost 15 of 20 for the first time since the early 1970s and appear headed for a fifth straight year without a playoff berth, he might be glad to go somewhere else in free agency to chase that elusive ring.

The issues aren’t just with veterans in the defensive backfield, either.

Rookie cornerback Perrish Cox is targeted aplenty every week and while he shows flashes of a bright future, the Broncos have to live with plenty of mistakes and big plays he surrenders today.

The Broncos lost safeties Darcel McBath (thigh) and David Bruton (ribs) to injuries against the Chargers and McBath has been ruled out against the Rams, who will likely try to force Dawkins to cover in the open field again while aiming to pick on the rookies.

The Broncos have used six defensive backs instead of the nickel (five DBs) for the last month, sending McBath into the game along with Nate Jones on passing downs. When McBath got hurt Monday night, Bruton went in.

When Bruton got hurt, rookie Syd’Quan Thompson got the call.

Bucs and Bears can prove their mettle in Week 12 Roswell Daily Record

Seems like the Buccaneers and Bears have few believers despite their 7-3 records. They get to prove themselves as playoff contenders — or reveal themselves as pretenders — on Sunday.

Tampa Bay, which trails Atlanta by one game and is tied with New Orleans in the NFC South, visits AFC North co-leader Baltimore.

Chicago, picked by some to straggle in at the bottom of the NFC North, is even with Green Bay atop the division and hosts NFC East leader Philadelphia.

Tough tests, but not insurmountable challenges.

“We’re making progress, but that’s what you’re supposed to do,” says Bears coach Lovie Smith, whose team has won three in a row. “No team has peaked that early in the season, so it takes a while. We knew the reasons. ... There were things that were going on.

We stayed the course, but I think each week we have identified problems and tried to fix it, and it’s good to see the results turn out that way.”

Just as things have tur ned out well for the Bucs, winners of four of the last five games, including a shutout in San Francisco last Sunday that was Tampa Bay’s first in six years. A win at Baltimore would help back up coach Raheem Morris’ claim the Bucs are the best in the conference.

“I don’t think it was bulletin-board material that I was looking for,” he said. “I think it was instilling a belief in my team. If mentality flows into reality and we don’t believe we’re the best, then we’ve really got no chance at anybody else believing it. So when we go out and play, it’s more about us than anybody else. Somebody has to finish No. 1. Why not us?”

The week’s action began with the traditional Thanksgiving games, which now number three. New England beat Detroit 4524, New Orleans beat Dallas 30-27 and the New York Jets (8-2) hosted Cincinnati (2-8).

On Sunday, it’s Green Bay at Atlanta, San Diego at Indianapolis, Kansas City at Seattle, Pittsburgh at Buf falo, St. Louis at Denver, Jacksonville at N.Y. Giants, Miami at Oakland, Tennessee at Houston, Minnesota at Washington, and Carolina at Cleveland.

On Monday night, San Francisco is at Arizona.

Philadelphia (7-3) at Chicago (7-3)

While the Bears attempt

to justify their record, the Eagles try to live up to the high standard Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy have set recently. Philadelphia’s explosiveness — 112 points in three straight wins, at least 26 points in each of its victories this season — and video-game pace have made the Eagles a tough challenge for any defense.

Even Chicago’s thirdranked unit.

Tampa Bay (7-3) at Baltimore (7-3)

The Bucs’ wins have come against teams currently with losing records — the Rams at 4-6 have the best record of those victims. The defeats were to top-tier opponents Pittsburgh, New Orleans and Atlanta. So it’s time to put up for Tampa Bay if it’s serious about making the postseason.

Bucs QB Josh Freeman has won six of his last seven road starts, but figures to see plenty of Ravens LB Ray Lewis, who averages 14.3 tackles against the Buccaneers.

Green Bay (7-3) at Atlanta (8-2)

Already being pegged as a potential NFC title game matchup, the league’s hottest teams face off. Each has won four straight and the Falcons are nearly invincible in the Georgia Dome since QB Matt Ryan became the starter in 2008.

Ryan is 18-1 there, with 14 consecutive wins.

But the Packers have won at Philadelphia, at the Jets and, last week, in their usual chamber of horrors, the Metrodome, where they humbled Brett Favre and the Vikings 31-3. So there’s no fear of the road for them.

San Diego (5-5) at Indianapolis (6-4)

If San Diego truly has begun its charge to the top of the AFC West, then the banged-up Colts will have a formidable foe. The Chargers have won three in a row — all against losing teams — behind the sensational passing of Philip Rivers, who could get back top receiver Vincent Jackson.

His regular supporting cast on offense is just as hobbled as Indy’s is, yet Rivers has outper for med even four-time MVP Peyton Manning this season.

The Chargers have won four of the last five meetings and have won seven straight November games.

Indy comes of f a valiant comeback at New England that fell short on Manning’s third interception, and the

Colts have problems rushing the ball and stopping the run.

Kansas City (6-4) at Seattle (5-5)

Few venues are as difficult as Qwest Field, where the Seahawks are 3-1, the only defeat coming to the Giants when Seattle was hamstrung by injuries.

With four home games remaining, the Seahawks have to be favored in the weak NFC West, especially if they can find a running game.

KC has won eight in a row against the NFC West and has found an aerial threat in Dwayne Bowe to complement its top-rated runners, Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones. Bowe has a franchise-record six straight games with a touchdown reception.

Pittsburgh (7-3) at Buffalo (2-8)

Give Buffalo credit for not quitting after losing every game in the first half of the schedule. The two victories were against weaklings Detroit and Cincinnati, and now the Bills really step up in class.

Oakland did exactly that last week and was routed

by Pittsburgh. The Steelers have won three straight and six of the past seven against Buffalo. LB James Harrison is on a tear and speedy WR Mike Wallace has three straight 100-yard receiving games.

Jacksonville (6-4) at N.Y. Giants (6-4)

New York might be calling Amani Toomer out of retirement to bolster a receiving corps minus leaders Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks. Look for the Giants to concentrate on the run with reinstated starter Brandon Jacobs; Ahmad Bradshaw’s fumbling problems got him demoted.

Jacksonville is a surprise co-leader with Indianapolis in the AFC South after winning three straight and is averaging 26 points on the road. Maurice Jones-Drew has three straight 100-yard rushing games and needs 122 yards to reach 1,000 for second straight year.

Miami (5-5) at Oakland (5-5)

Chad Henne could be back at quarterback in Oakland, where the Dolphins have enjoyed recent trips, winning four in a row. Indeed, Miami is 4-1 on the road in 2010, but has struggled at home and was manhandled by Chicago last week.

The Raiders know all

about being manhandled after that lopsided loss in Pittsburgh. They look to win four straight home games for first time since 2002-03.

Tennessee (5-5) at Houston (4-6)

With Vince Young out of the mix for the rest of the season, if not forever in Tennessee, the Titans turn to rookie Rusty Smith to keep their playoff hopes alive. Fortunately for Smith, Houston’s secondary is a sieve, and he always has Chris Johnson to hand the ball to.

The Texans keep piling bitter defeats on top of each other, endangering coach Gary Kubiak’s security despite his receiving a contract extension after last season.

Minnesota (3-7) at Washington (5-5)

Wonder if the Vikings will get the same kind of boost from a coach’s firing as the Cowboys did. Leslie Frazier makes his debut as their head man after Brad Childress was fired, and he plans to let Brett Favre continue his record starting string. Frazier would be wise to focus more of the offense on Adrian Peterson, and he must find a way to inspire the pass rush that has gone flat.

No team is more up and down than the Redskins, but they can take comfort in Donovan’s McNabb’s 5-0 record against Minnesota (including playoffs) with nine TDs, one interception and a 109 rating.

St. Louis (4-6) at Denver (3-7)

Since beginning 2009 with a six-game winning streak, the Broncos are 515 under Josh McDaniels.

Some of the defeats have been embarrassing, including to division rivals Oak-

land and San Diego. But there also was a 49-29 romp past Kansas City in Denver’s last home game.

The Rams have been coming on defensively under Steve Spagnuolo.

James Hall has 7 1/2 sacks and Chris Long has five sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in the last five.

Carolina (1-9) at Cleveland (3-7)

The Browns have played well for a month, even though they have suffered key injuries, and they get back QB Jake Delhomme just in time to step in for Colt McCoy (left ankle).

Delhomme faces the team he guided to one Super

Bowl and another NFC championship game.

That team barely resembles the vintage Panthers, although fourth-string running back Mike Goodson has rushed for more than 100 yards in each of the last two games.

Monday Night San Francisco (3-7) at Arizona (3-7)

Months ago, this looked like a juicy prime-time matchup. Considered preseason front-runners for the NFC West title, which the Cardinals won the last two years, both teams have crashed in a plague of miscommunications, bad quarterbacking and late-game problems.

Delbert Law

Upon his wish, there will be no services at this time for Delbert Law, 79, of Roswell, who passed away at home Saturday, Nov. 20, 2010, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Del was born Sept. 7, 1931, in Belleville, Mich., to Del Sr. and Pearl Law, who preceded him in death.

He was raised and attended school in Belleville until he joined the Air Force in December 1947. He served until December 1953.

After leaving the Air Force he relocated to Cleveland, where he worked for Union Carbide as a shift supervisor until he was promoted, then transferred to open the first Union Carbide plant in Ashtabula, Ohio. He worked that job for many years until he had to retire due to medical reasons. He then became disabled, at which time he relocated to Roswell, in 1974. In 1978, he moved back to Belleville, to care for his ailing parents until their deaths. He returned to Roswell in 1994, and remained until his passing.

Del’s favorite pastime was working with wood and working in his yard, but more than all other things, he enjoyed the peace he found in fishing and camping with his family by his side, no matter what state he was in. His outdoor spot of choice was the Bonita Mountains.

Del is survived by three sons, four grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren: Jim Law, and wife, Connie and their family, Staff Sgt. Jim Law Jr., and wife, Stephanie, Savanna and Brittany Law, all of USAF Base in Turkey; Jeremy Law, and wife, Tanya, BreAnna and Bella Mae Law, all of Roswell; T im Law, of Texas; Eric Law, Jessica Law Morales, and husband, Ermie, and Brittany and Alex Morales, all of McKinney, Texas; and Jeff Law, of Roswell.

Del especially wanted to “Thank” Kymera, Mission Arch, and the entire Hospice/Vista Care Staff as well as his favorite nurse, Anita Marriyo, who could always make his day brighter.

Above all “Thanks,” Del wanted his special caregiver and daughter -in-law, Connie Law, to know how much he loved her.

And when I’m gone, to live no more To live and love and work no more To go across to a distant shore, And There I will build my home.

This Is a State Over the hills of New Mexico The firs and pines and spruces grow Down in the flats the campfires blaze, While in the meadows, the horses graze.

This is a state, part old and part new Now autos rush where pine trees grew Where the campfires blazed, a town will grow, For this is my state, New Mexico.

This is a state of wind and sand And yet there’s a river, the Rio Grande Along the banks of many creeks The ardent fisher man seeks, The wise old trout, but does be grow We cannot say in New Mexico This is a state of mountains tall Where Indians lived, by the waterfall Though people argue, they all know They cannot leave New Mexico — Jimmy R.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I returned to our hometown and bought a bungalow in a cute older neighborhood. The homes are close together, separated by a single driveway.

Our neighbors on both sides of us are smokers. They smoke on their front porches and flick their smoldering butts onto the driveway and yard. The ground is littered with them, which my two toddlers want to put into their mouths every time they go outside. Often I’ll go out with a bag and collect the butts, but it’s annoying having to pick up someone’s easily discarded trash — particularly trash that has been in someone’s mouth.

My neighbors are pretty rough, and I’m afraid a confrontation could result in an escalation of the problem.

Should I continue gathering up the butts and keep my mouth shut? Or should I just “butt out”?

Several weeks before the move, start packing boxes with the items you will not need for at least a month.

Pack by category — all the books one day, all the paintings, prints and pictures another day, etc. Some of the categories may take more than one day, but if you find yourself finished early one day, start collecting from each room the things in the next day’s category so you have a head start.

Number each box as you go, and keep a list in a notebook dedicated to the move.

neighbors, do not approach them — particularly if you’re afraid that doing so could become confrontational.

Instead, plant hedges or bushes between your property and theirs, and have your children play — under your supervision — in the backyard.

DEAR ABBY: My mom has three sisters, two of whom I am very close to and love dearly. The problem is the third sister, “Aunt Sandy.” She had a falling out with Mom a few years ago and is now considered the black sheep of the family.

At my grandmother’s funeral, I had the chance to sit and

However, my mom told me later she was “hurt” because I had talked to Aunt Sandy knowing the family is upset with her. Mom said she’d appreciate it if I didn’t do it again.

I soak the sponges, dishcloths and sink strainers for five to 10 minutes. While soaking, I dip some paper towels in the bleach solution and wipe down the faucets, refrigerator door handles, countertops, etc. Then I let the sponges and dishcloths airdry, and everything is fresh and sweet-smelling.

The newest Harry Potter flick is a must see LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

It is that time of, just about, every year when War ner Bros. releases another installment of its cash-cow Harry Potter.

This installment, the seventh film which is the first part of the book “The Deathly Hallows,” is the darkest but most satisfying film yet in the Potter franchise.

Some fans will be turned of f by the lack of a true ending, which is why the film was labeled Part 1.

This film is essentially a setup to what promises to be an action packed film full of drama and tension.

But that fact doesn’t allow for a true, i.e. pleasing, finale to Part 1.

Given that the novel the movie is based on was not written as a two-part deal, Director David Yates finds as good an ending point as any.

The question is: does the fact there is no traditional ending “Avada Kedavra” the experience of this film?

The short answer is absolutely not.

This movie fleshes out our hero-trio of Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and of course Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), in a way

that makes them fully three-dimensional.

That’s not to say that in the previous installments those three weren’t developed, but they were always in the shadow of their safehaven Hogwarts and by extension Dumbledore.

By not having those “safety blankets” the trio set out into the real world, and are in true peril almost constantly while they search for Horcruxes they have no idea how to find or destroy.

In their ongoing search for the pieces of the Horcrux, the trio’s friendship is put to the test and the unthinkable happens, when Ron just ups and leaves Harry and Hermione.

The scene where Ron abandons his friends is particularly powerful and it speaks to the development of Grint and Radcliffe as actors that they were able to sell the venom they had towards each other during that scene.

For those Ron fans, fear not, he has a triumphant return and even, almost, finally tells Hermione how he truly feels. When that moment eventually does come, when Ron and Her mione do what they should have done years ago and snog, there will

inevitably will be applause from audiences.

The problem most people have had with the film, other than the “ending” which was unavoidable, was that it was too dark.

At this point in the Potter franchise, if one is watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, they have in all likelihood watched the previous six films and, just as the books, each has been progressively darker.

The opening scene, with Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his cohorts sets the tone for the rest of the movie. If the first 15 minutes of this film turn you of f, I wouldn’t even bother watching the rest of the film or Part 2 as it only gets darker before the end.

The only problem I have with the film is that it drags bit when the trio are on their quest for the Horcruxes.

I know that Yates is trying to portray the feeling of being alone and tension between Harry, Ron and Hermione, but there were just a few to many scenes with the tent and wilderness for my liking. By no means does this detract from the experience as a whole, but compared to the rest of the movie, those scenes are the low point of

Tangled, fun for all ages LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

Hollywood is ripe with theatrical re-imaginings of film and literature, not all of which were classics to begin with.

The results of these remakes are a mixed bag. For the most part, the new films should have left well enough alone. Did the world really need another Karate Kid or The Longest Yard?

Disney stepped into the dangerous world of re-imaginings with its new 3D animated flick, Tangled and while the spin on the classic “Rapunzel” story won’t redefine animated movies, the overall experience of the movie is enjoyable and fun.

As noted, Tangled is loosely based on the fairy tale “Rapunzel.”

The movie starts off with a brief backstory to how Rapunzel, voiced by the charming Mandy Moore, ended up in a tower in the middle of nowhere.

In short, Rapunzel’s mother was going to die during childbirth and to rescue her, a flower with a drop of the sun in it, was sought to heal her.

Unknown to Rapunzel’s parents, the flower had been keeping an old woman, Mother Gothel (Donna Murphy) young and alive.

After the flower rescues Rapunzel’s mother, Gothel finds out that the power of the flower, which heals and keeps people young when sung to, resides in Rapunzel’s hair. So, Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and raises her as her own in a hidden tower.

After the backstory, the movie really drags through the next 10-15 minutes, mainly because of two songs.

Anyone familiar with Disney animation knows that there will be songs and that’s what slows the movie down. Although there is an entertaining number where seemingly seedy, muscular men break down and sing about their dreams.

The song when Flynn Ryder, voiced by Zachary Levi, and Rapunzel are together in a boat with thousands of floating lights around them brought back memories of The Little Mermaid for me and it proved to be a very emotional song.

Other than those two songs however, the other tunes are forgettable.

The story really picks up

the movie.

Overall, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is a marvelous film that fans of the books and movies will enjoy.

It lacks a satisfying ending and is truly dark, but the character development and promise of an amazing Part 2 make this a must watch film for fans of the

series and anyone who enjoys movies in general.

Mandy Moore, who does the voice of Rapunzel, and Zachary Levi, who voices Flynn Ryder, arrive at a premiere for the aniwhen Ryder, running away from seemingly everybody, scales Rapunzel’s tower only to be knocked out by a frying pan-toting Rapunzel.

After Rapunzel’s mother and her get in a fight, Rapunzel decides she wants to leave the tower for the first time in her life and she recruits R yder to be her guide. Seeing as Rapunzel has a particular item Ryder desperately wants, he reluctantly agrees.

The strength of this film is the interaction between R yder and Rapunzel on their journey.

For an animated film, it is unusual to say that there is an on-screen chemistry, but that’s what sets Tangled apart from other animated flicks; the ability to connect its characters with each other and thus the audience.

Along our heroes journey, they come across the seemingly Disney mandated animal sidekick/comic relief.

In Tangled’s case, there are two such creatures Maximus a horse who proves to be a scene stealer and a chameleon named Pascal who ranks right up there with Jar Jar Binks, which is not a compliment.

Finally there is the animation. Tangled is quite simply a gorgeous movie. I have watched my fair share of animated films and movies that are in 3D and this movie blew me away.

The 3D, instead of detracting from a film like it did Despicable Me, just adds more flavor to the outstanding visuals. Everything subtly pops out at you and the colors and landscapes pro-

vided are breathtaking. The afforementioned scene with Ryder and Rapunzel in the boat was the best animated sequence I’ve ever seen.

During my screening of Tangled the theater was filled mostly with kids who dragged their parents to watch the film. Based on a few conversations after the film, I can say that the parents and guardians enjoyed the film as much, if not more than, their young ones.

Though this is an animated film and they usually get branded as “kiddie,” Tangled is a movie that movie lovers of all ages can enjoy.

84th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade impresses

NEW YORK (AP) — A high-kicking Kung Fu Panda and a diary-toting Wimpy Kid joined the giant balloon lineup as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade unfolded Thursday, drawing tens of thousands of spectators to the annual extravaganza on a chilly, overcast morning.

Emily Rowlinson, a tourist from London, squealed and snapped pictures with her cell phone as the massive Smurf balloon floated by a packed sidewalk along the route.

“We don’t have anything like this in England,” she exclaimed. “We have parades. We don’t have any sort of huge, floating beasts.

It’s very cool.”

As millions more watched the live broadcast on television, revelers gathered nationwide for other parades in cities such as Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia.

The parades headline observances across the nation that also feature football and family dinners with too much food on the table.

In his weekly radio and Internet address, President Barack Obama called on Americans to help each other through tough times.

“This is not the hardest Thanksgiving America has ever faced,” Obama said.

“But as long as many mem-

bers of our American family are hurting, we’ve got to look out for one another.”

He later telephoned ten U.S. servicemen and women stationed around the world to thank them for their service and sacrifice. He wished them and their families a happy Thanksgiving, before joining his own for the holiday.

The Macy’s parade featured an eclectic lineup of entertainers including Kanye West, Gladys Knight and Colombian rocker Juanes. The Broadway casts of American Idiot and Elf performed, along with marching bands from across the United States.

Perched on her father’s shoulders, 16-month-old Stella Laracque wriggled and danced with excitement as SpongeBob SquarePants, Hello Kitty, Shrek and other beloved figures wafted past her.

“She doesn’t really know the characters, but she’s loving it,” said her father, Mike Laracque of Manhattan.

Another new balloon was Virginia O’Hanlon, the 8year-old girl whose letter to the editor elicited the response, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”

Santa Claus closed the parade as always. A cheer erupted as he passed by on

Surveying the scene with four of her relatives, Emily Hine confessed that she’d initially been loath to come from Boyertown, Pa., about 100 miles southwest of Manhattan.

“I was dreading the crowds, but I’m enjoying it more than I anticipated,” she said, adding that the balloons are bigger than she’d imagined from watching previous years’ parades on TV. “It’s more up-close and personal.”

Other celebrities at the parade included India Arie, Jessica Simpson, Kylie Minogue, Keri Hilson, Arlo Guthrie and Miranda Cosgrove.

Standing on a stepladder her family had brought from Mamaroneck, a New York City suburb, 9-year -old Melissa Machado was thrilled to spot Victoria Justice, the star of Nickelodeon’s “Victorious.”

“She’s a famous person,

and I always see her shows,” Melissa explained after the actress-singer passed by on the Build-A-Bear Workshop float.

The Macy’s parade started in 1924 when employees from the department store marched in costume from Harlem to Macy’s flagship store on 34th Street. The parade was suspended from 1942 to 1944 because rubber and helium were needed for World War II, making Thursday's parade the 84th.

The parade followed the route it inaugurated last year, starting on Central Park West and proceeding down Seventh and Sixth avenues to 34th Street. The route had to be changed when vehicles were banned from parts of Broadway.

Workers had removed street lights and traffic lights to make way for the massive balloons and were standing by to replace the equipment.

“As soon as Santa Claus drives by, the poles go back up,” said Tom Carola, a worker with an electricalcontracting company hired by the city.

zle and chilly temperatures weren’t enough to keep John and Matt Fisher from attending that city’s parade.

The father and son from Hamtramck, Mich., had their RV set up a day ahead of time and by Thursday morning had a prime spot for watching it — equipped with coffee, hot cocoa, soup and chili dogs.

“Got to see Santa,” said John Fisher, 53. “If we don’t see Santa, we’re not sure he’s gonna bring presents.”

A block away, a German exchange student was watching his first Thanksgiving parade.

“This is great,” said Jonah Boyd, 16, of Hamburg, who didn’t know much about the American holiday before arriving in South L yon, Mich., where he is staying with a host family. “All I knew was that people ate turkey.”

Before the parade, Boyd, his girlfriend and her family watched thousands of runners take part in the annual Turkey Trot race. A similar race in Buffalo, N.Y., attracted more than 12,000 entrants, the most ever in the event’s 115-year-history.
