Showdown may pave way for tax deal

SUNDAY

www.roswell-record.com

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans derailed legislation Saturday to extend expiring tax cuts at all but the highest income levels in a political showdown that paradoxically clears a path for a compromise with the White House on steps to boost the economy.

“We need to get this resolved and I’m confident we can do it,” President Barack Obama said shortly after the near party-line votes. The public must have “the peace of mind that their taxes will not go up” on Jan. 1, he added.

Obama has signaled that he will bow to Republican demands for extending tax cuts at all income levels, and his remarks capped a day that lurched between political conflict and talk of compromise on an

issue that played a leading role in last month’s elections.

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., eyeing the 2012 campaign, accused Republicans of siding with “millionaires and billionaires” with their rejection of proposals that would let tax cuts passed during George W. Bush’s presidency lapse on sevenfigure incomes.

Republicans noted that unemployment rose to 9.8 percent last month and said it made no sense to raise taxes on anyone in a weak economy. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., jabbed that Democrats were undergoing a “political catharsis” in public after losing control of the House and surrendering several seats in the Senate in the Nov. 2 election.

But the rhetoric subsided quickly

after the votes, and Senate leaders in both parties said they hoped political clashes would give way to compromise in the next several days.

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, the GOP leader, said he was relatively confident there would be a deal with the White House “not to raise taxes in the middle of a recession.”

He said talks were continuing on the length of an extension to be enacted for the cuts that were put in place in 2001 and 2003.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he hoped for an agreement by the middle or end of next week on legislation that would combine an extension of tax cuts with a renewal of expiring jobless benefits for the long-term unem-

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — No. 10 Oklahoma earned a spot in Fiesta Bowl and ruined Nebraska’s last conference game as a member of the Big 12 for good measure.

Travis Lewis had an interception in the end zone and recovered two fumbles as the Sooners rallied from a 17point deficit to beat Nebraska 23-20 on Saturday night in the Big 12 championship, the Cornhuskers’ last stand in the conference before they jump to the Big Ten next season.

Officials have said that in addition to tax cuts and unemployment benefits, the White House wants to include renewal of several other tax provisions that are expiring. They include a break for lower- and middle- class wage earners, even if they don’t make enough to pay the government, as well as for college students and for companies that hire the unemployed.

Obama later spoke with Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. A White House official said the president told them he was open to a temporary extension of the tax cuts if the Democratic priorities were included in the deal.

Rifle enthusiasts young and old work on their marksmanship skills Saturday morning at the Roswell Gun Club during the Revolutionary War Veterans Association Appleseed Project, which commemorates American heritage.

Project Appleseed shooters on target zards sitting around the campfire talking about what led up to April, 19, 1775,” Orie Adcock, lead instructor, said. “We’re history buffs that happen to teach rifle marksmanship.”

Adcock stressed that the project intended to transform ordinary rifle owners into true Riflemen and Riflewomen. Americans have changed courses of war and history by expert marksmanship since the inception of the nation, he added, pointing out Timothy Murphy, the sniper who helped the Americans win the Second Battle of Saratoga in 1777.

“We want to keep this tradition (of honor) alive,” he said.

Roughly 10 new and experienced shooters learned correct

EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Between firing rounds of f a Ruger 10/22 rifle at drill targets, gun enthusiasts took out their bright orange ear plugs to listen to a history lesson on Saturday morning at the Roswell Gun Club.

The sharpshooters were participating in a two-day event called Project Appleseed, hosted by The Revolutionary War Veterans Association. The clinic teaches fundamental rifle marksmanship and is part of a nationwide program that remembers “the shot heard round the world” at Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony, April 19, 1775.

“It’s like a bunch of old buz-

“We teach and then practice what we teach,” said Sam Damewood, state coordinator for the RWVA and a former gun instructor in the U.S. Air Force. “It’s like building layers on a cake.”

Police are responding to more mental health calls JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Mental health calls are an issue the police deal with daily. Interim Roswell Police Chief Dennis Kintigh said the number of calls the department receives for Code 11, potentially violent mental patients, and Code 12, nonviolent patients, for the past three years appear to be rising.

In 2008, the police responded to 140 mental health calls. Of these, 51 were Code 11 calls and 89 were Code 12 calls.

In 2009, police responded to 182 calls, 70 Code 11 and 112 Code 12.

In the first three quarters of 2010, the RPD received 182 calls,

72 dealing with potentially violent patients and 110 nonviolent.

These may represent the tip of the proverbial iceberg, with more than 50 percent of the people in Chaves County Detention Center diagnosed with some sort of mental health disorder.

When people with substance abuse problems are added to equation, the figure is closer to 75 percent.

According to Kintigh, the police plan to combat this problem with appropriate training. He relayed the story of the first time he had to confront a mental health patient in the FBI and was reproved by the receptionist who

After battling two tumors earlier this year, Sage, a search and rescue dog raised in Roswell, has relapsed. The 11-year-old Hagerman border collie will have surgery at a cancer center for animals at Colorado State University Monday morning, her owner and handler said.

Veterinarians from the University of Pennsylvania, who routinely monitor canines like Sage that worked in the aftermath of 9/11, detected a thymoma tumor lodged deep between her lung lobes about two weeks ago.

“She’s hanging in there,” said Diane Whetsel, Sage’s handler, by phone while driving to Colorado.

Sage was originally diagnosed with dual tumors, one near her lungs and the other next to her heart, in February. She underwent a surgical thoracotomy, removing both the thymoma and the upper lobe of her right lung at the CSU Animal Cancer Center.

Whetsel said the relapse took her and Sage’s doctors by surprise.

“They didn’t expect a reoccurrence,” Whetsel said, adding the doctors will know more once they complete a PET scan, take more X-rays and conduct a biopsy.

Whetsel suspects that the tumors are a result of Sage’s work as a search and rescue dog. The

WikiLeaks loses major source of revenue

BERLIN (AP) — WikiLeaks has lost a major source of revenue after the online payment service provider PayPal cut off its account used to collect donations, saying the website is engaged in illegal activity.

The announcement also came as WikiLeaks is struggling to keep its website accessible after service providers such as Amazon dropped contracts, and gover nments and hackers continued to hound the organization.

The weekend move by PayPal came as WikiLeaks’ release of hundreds of thousands of United States diplomatic cables brought commercial organizations on the Internet

that have business ties with the organization under more scrutiny.

WikiLeaks also is under leg al pr essur e in several countries, including the U.S., and a former colleague of founder Julian Assange has said he will launch a competing platform.

Donating money to WikiLeaks via PayPal was not possible anymore on Saturday, generating an error message saying: “This recipient is currently unable to receive money.”

PayPal said in a blog posting that cutting off WikiLeaks’ account was prompted by a violation of the service provider’s policy, “which states that our payment service cannot be

used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity.”

The short notice was dated Friday, and a spokeswoman for PayPal Germany declined on Saturday to elaborate and referred to the official blog posting.

WikiLeaks confirmed the latest trouble in its Twitter account, saying: “PayPal bans WikiLeaks after U.S. government pressure.”

Obama hails SKorea trade deal as victory for US workers WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Saturday praised a newly sealed trade deal with South Korea as a landmark agreement that promises to boost the domestic auto industry and support tens of thousands of American jobs.

“This agreement shows the U.S. is willing to lead and compete in the global economy,” the president told reporters at the White House, calling it a triumph for American workers in fields from farming to aerospace.

The pact, which requires congressional approval, would be the largest since the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico in 1994. Obama said the South Korean deal would support at least 70,000 American jobs — welcome news with the latest unemployment figures showing nearly stagnant job growth. The president said that jobs report showed more needed to be done.

“Essential to that is opening new markets around the world to products that are made in America,” Obama said. “Because we don’t simply want to be an economy that consumes other countries’ goods.”

He said U.S. automakers would gain greater access to the expanding South Korean market. “It will contin-

ue to ensure a level playing field for American automakers here at home,” he added.

Exports of U.S. goods to South Korea could soar to $10 billion under the deal, which won rare praise for Obama from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as well as some Republicans. The pact originally was negotiated under George W. Bush’s administration but had stalled.

Obama had hoped to announce the deal while in Seoul for economic meetings last month, but it didn’t come together, an embarrassment at the time for Obama and South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.

Obama said Saturday that the version under consideration in Seoul “wasn’t good enough.”

It’s the first big trade deal of Obama’s presidency, but Obama said: “I’m not interested in signing trade agreements for the sake of signing trade agreements.” He said improvements had been made since the talks in Seoul.

Representatives from both countries broke through a stalemate Friday morning on issues related to the automobile industry.

South Korea would allow the U.S. to lift a 2.5 percent tariff on Korean cars in five years, instead of cutting

the tariff right away. Each U.S. automaker could export 25,000 cars to South Korea as long as they met U.S. safety standards; disputes over safety standards had effectively stood as a barrier to U.S. auto exports into Korea. A U.S. tariff on Korean trucks would be phased out and South Korea would eliminate its tariff on U.S. trucks immediately.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak praised the deal as bringing huge economic benefits to both countries and further boosting the two nations’ alliance.

“The accord is significant because it lays the groundwork for a ‘win-win’ relationship by reflecting the national interests of Korea and the United States in a balanced manner,” Lee said in a statement posted on the presidential website.

For Lee, the agreement comes amid harsh criticism at home that his response to a deadly artillery attack last month by North Korea on a South Korean island has been weak and indecisive. Obama mentioned the attack and said the trade deal showed that “the defense alliance between the United States and South Korea is stronger than ever.”

LAS CRUCES (AP) — A dozen Democratic members of Congress have asked Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in a letter to change a federal Mexican gray wolf recovery effort project.

The Dec. 1 letter was signed by New Mexico Rep. Martin Heinrich and Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva and recommends the release of eight wolves in Arizona and 14 in New Mexico considered eligible for release under the program’s rules.

The lawmakers also recommended the retrieval of telemetry receivers loaned to private parties that alert ranchers and property owners when wolves are nearby.

Some conservationists believe the telemetry receivers can be used to locate and kill Mexican gray wolves. Thirty-five wolves have been killed illegally since the program was launched along the Arizona-New Mexico border in 1998 with the release of wolves into a national forest in southeast Arizona.

The letter also asks Fish and Wildlife to release a completed draft environmental assessment that could lead to a new policy allowing captive wolves to be released directly into New Mexico. Under current rules, wolves new to the wild can only be released initially into Arizona, with New Mexico reserved for the relocation of previously captured wolves.

Sign ordinance to be discussed The City Council is slated to host a workshop Tuesday to discuss the possibility of returning a controversial sign regulation to the council chambers for another vote.

The council fell short of passing the regulations in August, despite a 5-4 affirmative vote. Ordinances require six votes to pass.

City officials will have the opportunity to discuss their

thoughts on the regulation.

A workshop doesn’t allow of ficials to vote on any issues.

If the regulation makes it back to the chamber for another vote, city officials will need to advertise a public hearing for the regulation.

Tuesday’s meeting will be held at City Hall, 425 N. Richardson Ave., and begin at 5:30 p.m.

Rep. Rangel says he still loves Congress GENERAL

Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel returned to his home turf in the city’s Harlem neighborhood on Saturday, saying he still loves Congress — despite a showdown with colleagues over ethics violations that led to his censure by the House.

“I have not lost my ability to love the Congress and to love this country,” the 80-year -old Democrat told r eporters at Harlem Hospital, where a crowd at a town hall meeting gave him a standing, cheering ovation as he entered.

Dapper in a dark suit and tie, Rangel appeared confident and as defiant as ever about the allegations that led to his public

“But there was no deception involved,” he added.

Speaking in a firm voice, he faced TV cameras and told the news confer ence: “I was not found guilty of corruption, I did not go to bed with kids, I did not hurt the House speaker, I did not start a revolution against the United States of America, I did not steal any money, I did not take any bribes and that is abundantly clear.”

The congressman saved his ire for the media, rather than fellow members of Congress.

He called members of the

When asked whether he would ever specifically address the 11 ethics charges of which a House subcommittee found him guilty, he cited the website of the House Ethics Committee, saying it shows that “Charles Rangel is not guilty of corruption or selfenrichment.”

The House found the congressman had failed to pay taxes on a vacation villa, filed misleading financial disclosur e forms and improperly solicited donations for a college center from corporations with business before his committee.

The 20-term lawmaker vowed that this weekend would be the last time he would speak about the matter.

In the coming months, which follow his re-election to Congress, Rangel promised to keep working on issues important to his constituents.

“I have two more years under the Obama administration; I have a job to do,” he said.

On Saturday, he turned his attention to Harlem Hospital, where the town hall meeting center ed ar ound pr oposed improvements in the communi-

The hospital is a block away from the apartment building where Rangel lives, and where the ethics committee found he had violated New York City rules by housing his political committees in rent-controlled apartments.

Rangel insists, however, that he never violated any rent-regulation law.

And he said that despite the 333-79 censure vote against him, he was buoyed by “a standing ovation in Congr ess. ...

Asked how he felt two days after the very visible r ebuke before the nation, he said: “I’m OK.”

Responders head to disabled ship Terrorism makes ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Emergency vessels hurried to reach a cargo ship carrying nearly half a million gallons of fuel as it struggled off Alaska’s remote Aleutian Islands for a second day Saturday.

The 738-foot Golden Seas, with a full load of canola seed, suffered engine troubles in strong winds and rough seas Friday that caused it to drift toward Atka Island, about 1,300 miles southwest of Anchorage. During the night, after the weather eased, it motored at about 3 to 4 mph back out to sea, reducing fears it would run aground, said Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Dana Warr.

A powerful commercial tug was expected to arrive Saturday evening, he said. Strong winds continued, with 16- to 20-foot seas, but calmer weather appeared to be moving in.

A Coast Guard cutter was also on the way.

“Everything is going well,” Warr said. “We have rescue crews remaining in place in Dutch Harbor.

The weather predictions seem to be diminishing.”

Plans called for the 18,000-horsepower Tor Viking II to tow the Golden Seas to port at Dutch Harbor, about 275 miles away, by tonight or Monday morning. It was expected to undergo repairs there.

Responders said the vessel, which is managed by Allseas Marine, based in Athens, Greece, lost its turbo charger. That left it without enough power to overcome 29-foot

The ship is en route from Vancouver, Canada, to the United Arab Emirates, the Coast Guard said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Not far from the New York Stock Exchange, a small crowd of tourists stopped to watch as a bomb-sniffing dog checked out a delivery van. The cobblestoned street was blocked by a line of brass cubes with holes that glowed red like the inside of a toaster.

Suddenly an entire section of the street rotated, cobblestones and all. The cubes moved out of the van’s way and their holes turned green.

The crowd “ahhed” with surprise.

OPINION

Chief of staff pick illustrates ethical dilemma

SANTA FE — What a coincidence. On Nov. 2, New Mexico voters overwhelmingly rejected a constitutional amendment that would allow a governor to appoint a legislator to civil office.

On Nov, 24, Gov.-elect Susana Martinez appointed Rep. Keith Gardner, the House Republican whip, as her chief of staff.

I wasn’t being sardonic when I called it a coincidence. New Mexico court decisions for years have given a very narrow interpretation to what constitutes a civil office.

It is highly likely that voters had a very different interpretation than the courts do about what constitutes a civil office. After all the uproar the past few years over Gov. Bill Richardson’s 500 political appointees, many of us assumed these were the people the amendment was talking about.

But the courts have defined civil office much more narrowly, to the point it only seems to include cabinet secretaries, judges and

appointments to fill vacancies in elected statewide offices.

It doesn’t include the governor’s chief of staff, who arguably is the second most powerful person in the state. Remember all the times I’ve told you lieutenant governors have just about no power — even when governors are out of state. In reality, it’s the chief of staff who takes over.

I also have said we should repeal the fulltime lieutenant governor option. Now I’ll add to that a repeal of the words “civil office” from the Constitution.

Civil office surely had a definite meaning when our Constitution was written 100 year ago. But take

Roswell Daily Record

a look at your dictionary sometime for the word “civil.” There likely is an entire column of different meanings of the word.

Among the scores of meanings of “civil” is the definition: “created by law.” That’s likely what the courts were thinking about. Chiefs of staff probably aren’t mentioned in the law.

Courts reportedly have ruled that the Legislature must invest sovereign power in a position for it to be considered a civil office. I cannot ever envision a legislature ever giving anyone sovereign power. They call cabinet secretaries before committees to rake them over the coals and let them know who is boss.

The only offices I can think of that are supreme are that of the governor and the supreme court.

And those positions are not created by the Legislature but by the Constitution.

An interpretation by one news

organization was that civil office means what civil service does in the federal government. In New Mexico we call it the state personnel act.

The governor definitely is prohibited from appointing anyone to positions covered by the state personnel act. Those people have to fill out applications, take tests and all that rigmarole to prove they are qualified for their job.

The employees appointed by the governor are exempt from the personnel act’s regulations and protections. Until 1962, when the state personnel act was passed, all state employees were appointed by the governor.

So that original prohibition in our Constitution may have referred to all state employees. Voter sentiment at this point likely would favor the prohibition be extended to all gubernatorial appointees.

The joint resolution calling for the constitutional amendment

passed the Legislature earlier this year with only 12 of the 112 legislators voting against it. The public vote on that amendment last month was 77-23 in opposition.

The defeat of that amendment may keep some very talented legislators from serving as cabinet secretaries. But this isn’t a good time for lawmakers to be asking voters to trust them.

And in another bit of unfortunate timing, Gov.-elect Susana Martinez, whose campaign was centered around eliminating corruption in government, was almost immediately faced with the reality of appearing to skirt a message voters had sent loudly and clearly about corruption.

I feel confident Keith Gardner can overcome this twist of fate.

Abusing rights

Reason and prudence are needed to untangle the digital-age Gordian knots posed by Internet technology. Unfortunately, Congress can be short of reason and prudence.

A bill to protect online property rights of owners’ copyrighted material sailed through the Senate Judiciary Committee last week 19-0. We urge the Senate to rethink this approach.

Producers of digital products, such as Hollywood movie studios, are at increasing risk of their property being pirated and distributed on the Internet, costing them millions of dollars in lost revenue.

Let us be clear. We’re unwavering supporters of intellectual property rights. That said, let us also be clear in condemning this bill, the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, which would infringe on other cherished rights, including the rights to freedom of speech and due process.

The bill would protect online copyrighted material by targeting file-sharing websites that have “no demonstrable, commercially significant purpose or use other than” providing access without authorization to material protected by federal copyright laws.

The bill would allow the Justice Department to seek expedited court orders to force U.S. domain-name registrars to shut down domestic websites suspected of hosting infringing materials. The bill also would permit similar court action to order U.S. Internet service providers to divert customer traffic away from infringing foreign websites.

Critics say the bill grants too broad authority and would extend its effects to third parties who aren’t involved in copyright infringement. Moreover, as structured, the new law would impose its Draconian solutions “without any meaningful opportunity for any party to contest” the government’s allegations, according to a public letter signed by numerous law professors from universities. The act also “would also suppress vast amounts of protected speech containing no infringing content,” the letter says.

The bill has drawn opposition from across the political spectrum, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital-rights group, and assorted conservative bloggers. However, in the Senate there are at least 11 cosponsors.

PCWorld.com, the website of a consumer computer magazine, reported that Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., announced his opposition to the bill in its current form, which the online publication said, “means the bill is likely dead this year” because “individual senators can place holds on legislation,” and the lame duck session is winding down.

We hope before making a bad situation worse, Wyden and other reasonable, prudent senators in the coming year give more sober deliberation that can lead to balancing all stakeholders’ rights.

My first perspective is that the RDR reported the news and the Albuquerque Journal wrote a story. When two newspaper publications find themselves so polarized in the content of their stories, it leaves the public to wonder where the truth in journalism really lies.

As shaky as the fiddler on the roof OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

“Traditions, traditions. Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as, as the fiddler on the roof.” Words of wisdom spoken by Tevye, the lead character in the “Fiddler on the Roof” production.

My wife, my children and I had the opportunity to spend some time with my parents over the Thanksgiving holiday. My Mom and Dad flew in from California and we were able to spend a week together. We had a good time, as we always do, but a highlight of our holiday was watching the movie “Fiddler on the Roof.” It is one of my favorite movies of all time. It is a great movie to watch as a family. If you haven’t seen it before, I would encourage you to watch it.

“Fiddler on the Roof” was originally a Broadway musical. It opened in 1964 and won nine Tony Awards in 1965. In 1972 it became the longest-running musical in Broadway history, eventually running for 3,242 perfor mances. The movie was released in 1971 and won three Oscars.

The story takes place in a small town named Anatevka in Russia in 1905. The main character, the father, Tevye, is a poor Jewish milkman with a wife and five daughters. Tevye struggles to maintain Jewish religious traditions while outside influences

threaten to change his very tightly held traditions.

The fiddler represents traditions that allow us to maintain and survive with firm and fixed rules of continuity in place. Traditions that have always been there and that we don’t question.

Core beliefs and actions that we live our lives by.

Playing a fiddle on the roof represents the difficulty of maintaining traditions in an unbalanced and ever changing world. Each of us tries to strike out a beautiful tune on our fiddle while trying to keep our balance on a roof. It is a battle each of us must face.

At the beginning of the movie, Tevye states, “Here in Anatevka we have traditions for everything.

How to sleep. How to eat. How to work. How to wear clothes. For instance, we always keep our heads covered and always wear little prayer shawls. This shows our constant devotion to God. You may ask, how did this tradition get started? I will tell you. I

a daily basis … the ones that happen in a flash of time … the ones that require training and proper response … the ones that we, as citizens, don’t have to deal with.

Procedure calls for a thorough investigation when there is loss of life. This incident, which took place in March of 2008, was no different. The investigation was conducted by the New Mexico State Police and our participation was open and honest. Our officers presented themselves honorably. Information was made available and scrutinized. Documentation was made available and scrutinized.

Statements were made available and scrutinized. No stone was left unturned.

That is the manner in which our State Police conduct their investigations.

The result of the investigation led the district attorney to conclude that no criminal wrongdoing had occurred. In other words, our officers had performed their duties within the strict parameters for which they are bound. And the courts

extremely low risk.

A compromised lymphatic system can lead to lymphedema, which might be reversible in its initial stages; however, acute stages can become irreversible, leading to chronic elephantiasis of the arms and legs, genitalia and breasts.

Patients may have abscesses, ulcers, pleural effusions, pericarditis and more.

Annual treatment can be coordinated with DEC (diethylcarbamazine) and ivermectin, either drug alone or through the daily use of DEC-fortified salt. Treating chronic lymphedema and elephantiasis aggressively can reverse symptoms dramatically. Patients with heavily damaged extremities might benefit from surgical decompression of the lymphatic system through surgery.

don’t know.” He continues, “But it is a tradition. And because of our traditions, every one of us knows who he is and what God expects him to do.”

In the production Tevye’s daughters decide they want to pick their own husbands in a time when tradition calls upon a matchmaker to put two families together. Tevye has to decide how he will respond.

At a traditional Jewish wedding the rope that divides men and women and prevents them from dancing with each other is taken down and men and women cross over the line to dance with one another. Tevye, the Rabbi, and the villagers have to decide how to respond.

A sewing machine arrives for the first time in the village. More change. The Russians evict the villagers from their homes. Further change.

We all have traditions in our own lives. Things that have just always been that way. Things we don’t question because they bring consistency and stability to our world. Changing or challenging a tradition creates stress and insecurity. Oftentimes a tradition is revealed when someone says “That’s the way we have always done it before.”

There is place for traditions in each of our lives. Traditions can be very important. We shouldn’t

concurred.

Our judicial system, however, allows for civil penalties. Under certain circumstances, it allows for financial payment to be pursued, even though there was no evidence of wrongdoing. Civil lawsuits aren’t based on the merit of fact, as much as they are based on the creation of emotion. Crazy how that works, but it works.

The next course of action for the city of Roswell was to recognize the potential settlement amount that a federal court might consider. When we live in a world where millions are awarded for simple issues, what might a jury consider for the family of a deceased? Additionally, damages could have been assessed upon each officer and ancillary law enforcement personnel totaling several million more dollars. It seems wrong that, in a situation where our officers were justified in their actions, that the city of Roswell could somehow be responsible for paying out millions of dollars.

My second perspective deals with the judicial system. Over my 53 years, I have been in the courtroom on a few occasions put the pieces of your husband’s time in the Philippines and his symptoms together and came up with the correct diagnosis, I strongly urge you to follow his or her recommendations. Your doctor sounds like a winner.

abandon them just to create change. There is enough of that out there already. But we must each find a proper balance between our traditions and change.

I like the sayings “Change is mandatory, growth is optional,” and “If you want to learn about any organization, try to change it.” In both instances outside influences impact internal decisions and create internal stress. If a person can hold firm to his traditions, but change and grow with the times, the rigid and the flexible exist side by side. How to navigate forward with these two forces pulling different directions can become the harmony of one’s life.

I want to close with the blessing shared through a song in the production titled “Sabbath Prayer.”

Tevye’s family has done all of their preparation for the Sabbath and they are gathered together at their dinner table ready to begin their celebration. Tevye sings the following song to his family and daughters. I will share it with you as a blessing on you: “May the Lord protect and defend you. May He always shield you from shame. May you come to be, in Israel a shining name.

“May you be like Ruth and like Esther. May you be deserving of praise. Strengthen them, Oh Lord, and keep them from the strangers’

(none of which you should be concerned about). And, if there is one thing consistent with courtroom decisions, it is that they are terribly inconsistent. I have seen decisions that lifted my spirits and I have seen decisions that took my breath away … and I am no different than you. As a society, we have seen courts award outrageous amounts of money for frivolous purposes. From coffee spills to you name it, people want to hold someone else responsible for a lifetime of financial security. And, too often, juries agree.

Let’s not ignore the fact that this was not a frivolous lawsuit. Let’s remember the fact that a man died. And if civil suits stir the emotions of jurors in lesser cases, what would prevent them from being emotionally stirred in this case?

Our officers had been justified! Why in the world would the city of Roswell want a federal jury of eight individuals, none of which represent our citizens, determine the financial future of this community? It makes no sense. Our objective was to defend our officers in a very challenging time … and we did that. Our objective was not to roll the dice with millions of

My challenge to you today is to hold firm to traditions, but be flexible enough to change with the times. No one has ever lived before in the world we live in 2010. Unquestioned traditions bring stability to our world. But change brings growth and allows us to fly higher than our ancestors before us.

Each of us must decide how we are going to balance the two. May the battle continue and may you, as the fiddler on the roof, be able to strike out a beautiful tune while succeeding to keep your balance in an ever changing world.

Your City Council made the right decision. They took their time and studied the facts and collectively, they came to the conclusion that settling this case was in the city’s best interest. Does it mean that all cases against the city will be settled out of court? I don’t think so. I think it means that each case will be decided on the merits of evidence. These are the very difficult decisions that your councilors are required to make. Pat them on the back and tell them job well done.

My third perspective identifies some significant observations. There is no question that our police department is solid, honorable and getting better day by day; that the Roswell Daily Record should be applauded for their desire to report the facts of this case and not get caught up in the competitive “shock value” or “sound bites” of their northern counterpart; and finally, that this community will not be sidetracked in our efforts to develop the trust and confidence necessary for growth and prosperity.

Holiday lighting safety tips This week’s Roswell SAFE Coalition Safety Column is brought to you by Xcel Energy and the Roswell SAFE Coalition.

Here are a few tips from Xcel Energy on holiday lighting, with warm wishes for a safe and joyous holiday season.

• Before you climb up on your roof with decorations, always look up first to find overhead power lines. Keep a minimum 10-foot distance between the lines and anything you’re holding or using, such as a ladder.

• Stockings aren't the only things that should be hung with care. String outdoor lights far from power lines; anything that touches a power line can become energized.

• Follow package guidelines for proper indoor and outdoor use of decorative lights, including the number of light sets you can safely use on a single extension cord.

• Throw away lights with cracked or broken sockets, frayed insulation and bare wires.

• Don’t place cords under rugs; they may overheat or become worn and cause a fire.

• Always unplug decorative lights when you leave home or go to bed.

The dangerous power of electricity is, of course, a year -round concer n.

Always respect the power of electricity. You must assume an overhead line is energized and therefore dangerous. Even the slightest contact with electricity can seriously injure or kill. Some other tips include: • Teach your children to recognize and respect overhead lines.

• Be sure you are aware of all power lines near your home, work or play areas.

• Don’t trim trees with power lines nearby.

• Always carry ladders or poles horizontally.

• Never place a trampo-

line, pool or playhouse near power lines.

• Teach your children to fly kites or toys in fields far away from overhead lines.

• Don’t try to rescue a cat on top of power pole.

• Don’t attempt to remove anything that has become tangled with an overhead line.

Weather events also can create hazardous electric conditions by breaking power poles and causing power lines to fall. A downed line may remain energized.

• Never, under any circumstance, touch or move a downed power line.

• Lines that have fallen also energize the items they touch so be careful of downed lines across fences or other equipment, including cars in which you may be riding.

If you are in a car, remain in the vehicle until help arrives.

MIAMI (AP) — A young boy reaching toward a glimmer of light took shape as Haitian graffiti artist Jerry Rosembert Moise sprayed paint on the wall of an impoverished neighborhood’s youth center.

It’s the kind of clearly hopeful image Moise developed after a catastrophic earthquake leveled his hometown of Port-auPrince in January. “I used to do caricatures, but now I try to be more realistic to get more attention for helping the country,� Moise said during a break from his painting Thursday night.

Moise, who gained international attention for his images after the earthquake, is among the artists taking advantage of the art fair crowds in Miami this week to highlight Haiti’s ongoing struggles and raise funds for earthquake vic-

tims.

Thousands of collectors are in Miami for the annual Art Basel Miami Beach international art fair, and for other contemporary art fairs and museum exhibits.

Haitian artists and advocates hope they can gain influence and money for projects to improve the lives of more than 1.5 million people still homeless nearly a year after the earthquake, amid a cholera outbreak that has killed nearly 1,900 since October.

The Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami scheduled an exhibit of portraits of Miami’s Haitian community by fashion photographer Bruce Weber specifically for the Art Basel crowds. Some of the images in “Bruce Weber: Haiti/Little Haiti� were shot in the same streets where Weber has photographed fashion magazine spreads.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A stakeout leads to a smooch on ABC’s crime drama “Castle,� with Rick Castle and Kate Beckett finally sharing their first kiss.

Played by series stars Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic, the pair locked lips in a scene filmed outside a downtown warehouse late Thursday for a January episode. The air date wasn’t

announced.

As “Castle� fans know, the show’s weekly whodunits share equal weight with the will-they-or -won’t-they romance conundrum for the lead characters. “Castle� has become a hit for ABC, routinely landing in the top 20 in the Nielsen ratings and attracting more than 10 million viewers weekly in its third season.

‘Castle’ alert: Beckett, Castle share first kiss

The faces Weber has captured on film in Little Haiti since 2003 show the longreaching ef fects of the earthquake and U.S. foreign policy.

A young girl detained for six months by U.S. immigration authorities won’t smile and fixes her eyes on the ground. A plumber with an intravenous tube running from his nose spreads his scarred hands on his hospital bed to show he can still work. Women cradling small children in their laps crowd shoulder to shoulder in church pews. A young couple in wheelchairs tentatively hold hands.

The Haiti Art Expo is selling new paintings by contemporary artist Philippe Dodard, along with artwork by other Haitian artists, to benefit earthquake relief ef forts. At its opening Thursday night, Haitian

voodoo drumming rivaled a DJ’s electronic beats in the next gallery.

Meanwhile, outside a downtown hotel, a cluster of large, colorful tents isn’t just for show. In the words of Antuan, the artist who organized the Base Paint Tents project with Fundacion Manos del Sur and the Step by Step Foundation, it is a “utilitarian art installation.�

The 10 heavy-duty tents will become classrooms for children living near the Port-au-Prince airport in a camp managed by Haitian soccer star Bobby Duval.

While Haiti desperately needs new housing and schools, reconstruction efforts have stalled with just a trickle of pledged international aid delivered to the Caribbean country.

These tents were chosen for their mobility and ability to withstand harsh conditions

LEACO

for years. “We see the reality of almost a year (since the quake) and the rubble is still there,� Antuan said. “The tents are going to be there for a long time.�

Duval’s brother, Miamibased artist Edouard Duval Carrie, is among the 10 artists who painted the tents. Duval Carrie also organized a separate, twopart show at the Little Haiti Cultural Center, “The Global Caribbean II: Caribbean Trilogy.�

Along with works by Duval Carrie, Cuban artist Jose Bedia and Dominican artist Jose Garcia Cordero, it includes new textiles commissioned from three Haitian artists after the quake. Jean Joseph JeanBaptiste stitched Voodooinspired fantasies into beaded and sequined flags, while deities emerge from layers of buttons and found

objects sewn together by a pair who sign their work as Kongo Laroze.

Duval Carrie said he commissioned textiles instead of paintings because textile artists will employ more earthquake survivors. “They’re like ateliers.

They have 15 families working for them,� Duval Carrie said.

None of the textile artists could secure a visa to travel to Miami for the exhibit’s opening Friday. Ira Lowenthal of Men Nou Gallery, which represents JeanBaptiste, blamed U.S. bureaucracy and said he planned to return to Portau-Prince to argue on the artists’ behalf. “The U.S. should be trying to promote what’s positive in Haiti, what makes Haiti special and why we should be helping Haiti,�

Lowenthal said.

Public pensions pose big challenge for lawmakers Roswell Daily Record

SANTA FE (AP) — State government employees and educators could have to work longer before retiring and pay more into their retirement plans under proposals to shore up New Mexico’s pension finances.

The state’s two pension funds have suffered a 14 percent or $3 billion drop in asset values since 2007 when financial markets nose-dived.

Investment earnings are critical for pensions to bridge the gap between money from payroll contributions and liabilities for benefits to current and future retirees.

“There is not only urgency, but there is extreme urgency that we do something with these pension plans to sustain them,” Sen. John Sapien, a Corrales Democrat, said at a recent legislative committee meeting. “I hope as we go forward that the participants in these plans understand, really, how gloomy it is.”

Any pension changes will require approval of the Democratic-controlled Legislature and New Mexico’s incoming Republican governor, Susana Martinez.

It’s a dif ficult challenge because revisions could squeeze the pocketbooks of tens of thousands of workers and retirees —

a potent political force along with public employee and education unions that traditionally have been campaign supporters for Democrats in the Legislature.

The Public Employees Retirement Association has proposed increasing payroll contributions by 8 percent over four years for retirement plans covering state workers and municipal firefighters and police. Employees would be responsible for a third of that.

That’s in contrast to a private industry pension, in which only the employer typically makes contributions based on a worker’s salary.

PERA also has proposed longer work requirements for future employees — those hired after a certain date — and a lower inflationary adjustment in pension benefits once they retire. No reductions are recommended in the 3 percent yearly cost-of-living adjustments currently provided to retirees.

More far -reaching changes could affect educators because the Educational Retirement Board is looking at raising the retirement eligibility for current workers.

In the past, pension revisions typically have applied only to new Continued from Page A1

She sifted through the rubble inside the Pentagon after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 as a FEMA disaster specialist, worked in Aruba during the search for Natalie Holloway and the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and deployed to Baghdad in 2007 and 2008 where she traveled to Iraq in a Blackhawk helicopter searching for fallen U.S. soliders.

“I don’t know for sure if this is a result of 9/11 or Hurricane Katrina or dump sites we searched in Iraq,” Whetsel said. “She’s been exposed to so many toxic sites in her life, so we don’t know exactly where this came from ... but it is a direct result of her service to this country.”

Members of the community rallied in support of the local American hero late last year by raising roughly $8,000 to cover Sage’s first surgery. Whetsel said she will pay for Sage’s upcoming surgery and treatment, estimated at $3,000, using money left over from the last fundraising effort.

“It was pretty fantastic. It really was,” Whetsel said of the community’s generous support. “We’ve guarded those funds and have been very frugal with them. ... We’re hoping that we’ll be able to cover (Monday’s surgery) without asking for the community’s help.”

For members of the community interested in supporting working dogs like Sage, Whetsel asks them to donate to the foundation created in Sage’s honor, The Sage Foundation for Dogs who Serve, at www.sagefoundationfordogs.org emiller@roswell-record.com

hires — the approach PERA is taking.

The ERB is meeting next Friday to consider final recommendations, but the board has come under fire for preliminary proposals to require some educators to work 30 years and reach age 60 before they could retire with full benefits.

Currently, most educators can retire at any age after working for 25 years or if they meet a socalled “rule of 75” — their combined service and age at retirement must equal or exceed 75, although benefits are reduced if they retire younger than 60.

The board initially proposed that the longer work requirements would apply to current educators unless they had 22 years of work experience, in which case they would remain under their existing plan.

Other changes would increase payroll contributions by workers and base pension benefits on an employee’s highest consecutive seven years of pay — rather than five years currently.

But the board is looking at options so fewer educators will be subject to new retirement eligibility requirements.

PayPal, a subsidiary of U.S.-based online marketplace operator EBay Inc., offers online payment services that are one of several ways WikiLeaks collects donations — and until now was probably the most secure and convenient way to support the organization.

The other options listed on WikiLeaks’ website are through mail to an Australian post office box, through bank transfers to accounts in Switzerland, Germany or Iceland, as well as through one “credit card processing partner” in Switzerland.

WikiLeaks’ PayPal account redirects users to a German foundation which provides the organization with the money.

The Wau Holland Foundation, named after a German hacker, confirmed Saturday in a Twitter message that its PayPal account had been taken down because of the “financial support to WikiLeaks.”

The foundation’s president, Winfried Motzkus, earlier this week was quoted by the local newspaper Neue Westfaelische in his hometown of Bielefeld as saying that Wau Holland has collected euro750,000 ($1 million) for WikiLeaks, covering the organization’s expenses.

WikiLeaks’ recent releases seem to have been a boon for the foundation, which had previously described itself as the organization’s main financial backer.

On its website, the foundation said “the huge and in this form unique amount of donations has caused the delay of issuing contribution receipts” — which allow Germans to deduct donations from their taxes.

Messages left for the foundation and for Motzkus were not immediately answered.

While WikiLeaks vows to make the world a more transparent place, very little is known about its day-to-day functioning. It has no headquarters, few if any paid staf f and its finances r emain opaque.

Wau Holland’s vice president, Hendrik Heye Fulda, last month told the German

Kintigh referred to the death of Fire Chief Louis Jones, who was shot, along with an EMT and two bystanders, on March 16, 2002, by Paul Freeman as he tried to burn down his for mer girlfriend’s house. It came out later that Freeman was being treated for some sort of mental health disorder.

Although Kintigh acknowledges police must deal with these issues for reasons of public safety, he said, “We are the concrete floor of the mental health safety net.”

this and that is what we’re trying to do,” said ERB Executive Director Jan Goodwin.

The board’s goal with the latest proposals is to boost the pension’s “funded ratio” — the proportion of assets to liabilities for promised benefits — to at least an industry benchmark of 80 percent. It’s currently about 64 percent but would have exceeded 100 percent under the board’s preliminary proposals.

PERA’s pension plan for state workers has unfunded liabilities of more than $3 billion but that will never be eliminated under the existing system.

The proposed higher payroll contributions will put the pension plan on a path to covering those liabilities over 30 years — an industry standard, according to PERA executive director Terry Slattery.

Because pensions involve longter m obligations and investments, there’s no immediate risk that New Mexico will be unable to pay retiree benefits. The two funds have assets valued at nearly $20 billion.

“Just because we have an unfunded liability doesn’t mean we’re insolvent,” said Slattery.

daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung that WikiLeaks operates on a tight annual budget of about $200,000. Fulda could not be reached for comment Saturday.

Meanwhile, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a for mer WikiLeaks’ spokesman, has announced plans to launch a new and more transparent platform on his own, German news magazine Focus reported.

It will provide the technical infrastructure for anonymous postings and allow informants to choose themselves how and by whom to publish the infor mation, Focus quoted Domscheit-Berg as saying.

The 32-year -old Domscheit-Berg, who also has used the name Daniel Schmitt, said he will soon publish a book about his time with Assange at the website.

On Friday, WikiLeaks was forced to move from one website to another as gover nments and hackers hounded the organization, trying to deprive it of a direct line to the public.

Key lawmakers and administration officials have been at work negotiating the terms of a possible deal for several days.

But many congressional Democrats privately have expressed anger at Obama for his willingness to surrender to Republican demands to let the tax cuts remain in place at upper incomes, and numerous officials said no compromise would be possible until they had engineered that appropriate treatment for mental illness is a statewide problem.

“We as a state need to deal with this,” he said.

Treatment facilities are few and far between. “If I’m not mistaken the correctional facility in Los Lunas has more beds for mental health issues than any other place. Sunrise only has 28 beds, and people from Los Lunas have to go to Las Vegas for evaluation.”

He also discussed the July 2010 incident where Robert Reza, 37, shot his girlfriend and then forced his way inside the plant where he killed two employees before turning the gun on himself.

workers covered by PERA can retire at any age after 25 years of service. Municipal police and firefighters can retire at any age after working 20 years.

Under PERA’s latest proposal, there would be a minimum retirement age of 55 for new government workers, and a combined age and work experience equaling 85 to retire with full benefits.

Newly hired police and firefighters would have a minimum retirement age of 50 with 25 years of experience or at age 55 their work and age must equal 85 to be able to retire.

A 2009 law established different retirement eligibility for educators and government workers hired since July. Their combined service and age at retirement must equal or exceed 80, or they can retire at any age after working 30 years.

ERB covers nearly 63,300 workers — from school teachers and janitors to college faculty — and has about 33,700 retirees.

PERA has different pension plans for state and municipal workers along with judges and legislators. Those include about 49,000 workers and 27,000 retirees.

Kintigh believes the solution may include making many dif ficult decisions. “This man was able to buy a gun six weeks before being fired from his job. Maybe we need to consider that some people should not be allowed to have any kind of weapon, not just guns. Other weapons can be just as dangerous.”

He also said that New Mexico may be considering implementing Kendra’s Law, which was enacted in New York and mandates the compulsory compliance with treatment protocols, but confesses it brings about questions of enforcement and civil liberties.

the courts to decide on the legality of hosting the site on French soil.

French newspaper Le Monde — which was among the publications that were granted full access to the diplomatic cables beforehand — said in one of its online articles Saturday it could not provide links to the relevant cables “as a result of the computer attacks WikiLeaks has suf fered and the refusal of some Internet hosts and countries to take in the site.”

Media freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders on Saturday condemned the personal attacks on Assange and “the blocking, cyber -attacks and political pr essur e” in what it called the first “attempt at the international community level to censor a website dedicated to the principle of transparency.”

WikiLeaks has been br ought down numer ous times this week by what appear to be denial-of-service attacks. In a typical such attack, remote computers commandeered by rogue programs bombard a website with so many data packets that it becomes overwhelmed and unavailable to visitors. Pinpointing the culprits is difficult. The attacks are relatively easy to mount and can be performed by amateurs.

The attacks started last Sunday, just before WikiLeaks released the diplomatic cables. To deal with the flood of traffic, WikiLeaks moved to Amazon.com’s Web hosting facility.

But Amazon booted WikiLeaks from the site on Wednesday after U.S. congressional staffers started asking the company about its relationship to WikiLeaks.

The U.S. is currently conducting a criminal investigation into WikiLeaks’ release of the diplomatic cables.

votes in both the House and Senate.

Any deal would mean a reversal for Obama, who said in the 2008 presidential race and this year that he wanted to let cuts expire above incomes of $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.

In the Senate, a bill to enact Obama’s original position was blocked on a vote of 53-36, seven votes short of the 60 needed to advance. Republicans were unanimous in their opposition, and were joined by Democratic Sens.

Russell Feingold of Wisconsin, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Jim Webb of Virginia and independent Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut.

“Medications are another issue. There’s a controversy about what are appropriate levels of medication,” Kintigh said.

Substance abuse further complicates the issue. He referred to a study in Australia which looked at siblings who used marijuana and those who had not and found increased incidents of psychosis in the users.

“Methamphetamines and the effect on the forming brain is frightening.

Then there’s Fetal Alcohol Syndrome,” he said.

Fetal alcohol syndrome refers to growth, mental and physical problems which may occur in a baby

when a mother drinks alcohol during pregnancy.

“Years and years ago, after the movie ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,’ we moved away from inpatient treatment,” said Kintigh. “Perhaps we need to take another look at it.

Is there a way to treat people, protect the safety of the public while we preserve civil liberties?”

He repeated that he did not claim to be an expert.

LAS CRUCES — Roswell’s Achilles heel this year has been its play in the second half of games.

On Saturday, that truly cost the Lady Coyotes for the first time this season.

Roswell let a 10-point halftime lead slip away and fell for the first time, 50-47, to Oñate in Las Cruces.

Roswell coach Joe Carpenter put the blame for the loss squarely on his own shoulders.

“It’s poor coaching, that’s what it is,” he said. “I don’t make the right adjustments and other coaches make great adjustments.

“In the last couple of games, we’ve just been outcoached and it hasn’t worked out for us. We need to make changes as a coaching staf f and I think you’ll see improved play on the court.”

The Coyotes (2-1) led by five going to the second quarter and doubled that lead to 10 by outscoring the Knights 15-10 in the second for a 31-21 advantage.

Oñate got back in the game by winning the third 12-9 and then rallied for the win in the fourth with a 17-point quarter.

“We were confident we could win and, honestly, I think maybe we were overly confident that we were going to win,” Carpenter said. “And that came back to us.

“We had people that were worried about their individual stats instead of focused on making the team better.”

Shanice Steenholdt led Roswell’s offense with 15 points, but she was the lone Coyote in double figures.

Diana Carrillo added seven and Desirea Allen and Rikki Ornelas each chipped in six.

Capital 33, Goddard 19 SANTA FE — The Rockets struggled from the field and at the free-throw line in falling for the sixth time this season on Saturday at the Capital Invitational in Santa Fe. “We got plenty of shots, but nothing was falling,” said Rocket coach Greg Torres.

“Defensively, I was happy with how we played.

“You’re not going to beat many varsitylevel teams only scoring 19 points. We just have to find a way to score and knock down some shots.”

Abbie Blach led the Rockets (0-6) with seven points, while Alex Zumbrun had six.

The Rockets shot less than 20 percent from the field and made just eight of their 28 free-throw attempts in the game.

Dexter 75, Bovina 41 TEXICO — The shots finally started to fall for the Dexter girls basketball team on Saturday and that led to the first win of the season for the Lady Demons.

Dexter (1-4) scored at least 16 points in all four quarters and cruised to a victory

YANKS, JETER REACH DEAL

NEW YORK (AP) — Derek Jeter is keeping his pinstripes, just like everyone expected all along.

The iconic shortstop and the New York Yankees reached a preliminary agreement Saturday on a $51 million, three-year contract with an $8 million player option for 2014, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The person spoke Saturday on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.

The guaranteed portion of the contract includes a $3 million buyout if the option is declined. If it is exercised, Jeter would earn $56 million over four seasons.

The player option can escalate up to $17 million.

The amount depends on a points system. He earns points based on if he finishes anywhere among top six in AL MVP voting and if he wins World Series MVP, league championship series MVP, Gold Glove or Silver Slugger awards. If he earns the maximum, he would get $65 million over the four years.

Jeter has finished in the top six in the MVP voting four times, placing second in 2006. He won the World Series MVP award in 2000 and has five Gold Gloves and four Silver Sluggers.

Coming off a $189 million, 10-year contract, Jeter initially had been offered a $45 million, three-year deal. After a Nov. 8 meeting, talks came to a standstill as the sides expressed frustration.

DORA — The Valley Christian boys basketball team, which lost two close games in the last week, came out on the winning end of a close game by overcoming a sixpoint deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Gateway Christian, 49-46, on Saturday at the J.P. Stone Invitational.

Logan Rader netted 25 points for VCA (2-3), while Taylor Line chipped in with 14.

Lions coach Randy Lyons said that this was a complete team win as he gave credit to young players like Bryce Breedyk and Dylan Davis, who stepped in and played critical minutes late in the game.

“Those guys went in and played major minutes with foul trouble,” he said. “It was a new situation for them and they handled it with a lot of poise. They grow up a little bit each game. They are coming from junior high and going from there to varsity and it is so much faster.

“It is also a credit to some of the older guys to have confidence in them and say, ‘If you are open, you are getting the ball.’”

The Warriors (0-3) were led by Mason Miller’s 15 points, while Caleb Kimberly added nine points. Luke Grant and Christ Taylor chipped in with seven points each.

“Turnovers cost us in the last quarter,” Gateway coach Troy Grant said. “I thought we controlled the game pretty good. I thought we controlled the tempo like we

wanted and we controlled the boards pretty good. I thought our kids improved each game (of the tournament).

“I am excited about our progression. I am not disappointed a great deal because, as each game progressed, I saw less of the mistakes. As long as we continue to improve it will hopefully pick up.”

Hagerman 73, Dora 36 DORA — Michael Garcia had 12 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks to power the Hagerman boys basketball team to a victory over Dora in the championship game of the J.P. Stone Invitational on Saturday.

Edward Montoya led the Bobcats (3-0) with 29 points, while Isaac Bejarano chipped in with 17 points.

“Each day we got better which is nice,” Hagerman coach Anthony Mestas said. “We still have got a lot to work on. We have got to get our legs under us. We have had some pretty bright spots early in December.

“Our press is doing well and we are looking for our inside presence with Michael.”

Mestas said it was nice to win, but he is already preparing for the Bobcats’ next game, against NMMI on Tuesday.

“It’s nice to win,” he said. “But it is too early to get excited about winning a tournament.”

Oklahoma wins Big 12 championship NMMI snares 8th win

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — No. 10 Oklahoma ear ned a spot in Fiesta Bowl and ruined Nebraska’s last conference game as a member of the Big 12 for good measure.

T ravis Lewis had an inter ception in the end zone and recovered two fumbles as the Sooners rallied fr om a 17-point deficit to beat Nebraska 23-20 on Saturday night in the Big 12 championship, the Cornhuskers’ last stand in the conference before they jump to the Big Ten next season.

Landry Jones threw for 342 yards and a touchdown and also sneaked in for another score from 1 yard out as the Sooners (11-2) made the biggest comeback in Big 12 championship history.

The No. 13 Cornhuskers (10-3) self-destructed, squandering a 17-0 lead with four tur novers and getting shut out in the second half for the first time all season.

Jimmy Stevens delivered the game-winner, a 27yard field goal, with 8:28 to play.

Oklahoma won its seventh Big 12 title — more than twice as many as any other school — and the seventh straight by schools fr om the South Division.

Nebraska, which lost 13-12 to Texas on a field goal after one second had been put back on the clock in last year’s title game, suf fer ed another tough defeat but without a close call at the end.

The Huskers had to punt it away with less than 4 minutes left after T aylor Martinez was sacked at midfield, then couldn’t convert a first down after getting the ball back with 1:46 to play at their own 41-yard line.

named to the all-tournament team.

Santa Fe Indian 68, Goddard 67 TAOS — The Santa Fe Indian boys basketball team hit two free throws with 2 seconds left to edge Goddard on Saturday.

The Rockets (2-2) were led by Eric Johnson’s 22 points, while Brandon Cooper and Chase Salazar had 11 points each.

“It was back and forth,” Goddard coach Kevin Jones said. “We led most of the game. They hit two free throws with a little over 2

seconds left. We got the ball in and only got a half-court shot and didn’t make it.”

Jones said that right now, his team is too inconsistent.

“You know we are just inconsistent,” he said. “We had a pretty good defensive showing against Carlsbad at home, but we haven’t shown that intensity since.”

Texico 56, Dexter 55 TEXICO — The Dexter boys basketball team lost a back-andforth affair to Texico at the Texico Invitational on Saturday.

Dexter (1-2) coach James Bracken said that the game taught him a lot about his team.

“In the last few minutes, it was

back and forth,” he said. “It was a good game for us to find out how our kids would react in a close situation. We had a shot at the end, but there were some tough calls. There was a call that one of our kids had stepped over the line on an inbounds pass.

“As a coaching staff, you wonder how accurate that call was.

Texico ended up stalling and holding the ball after that.”

Dexter overcame a sluggish start to take a 40-38 lead heading into the final quarter, but wasn’t able hold off Texico.

Despite the loss, Bracken said that the improvement in his team is evident.

“Watching our play, we can tell

that we have gotten a lot better from last year,” he said. “If we can just get past that first quarter slump, I think we’ll be a pretty good team. We come back at halftime and decide we want to play.

We have some kids that are willing to fight and have shown they have a lot of heart. As a coaching staff we are pretty pleased.”

Steven Marquez led the Demons with 20 points and four assists, while Tyler Miles chipped in with 11 points. Clay Garnett collected 10 points for Dexter.

Tucumcari 70, Lake Arthur 35 DORA — Lake Arthur scored just four points in the opening quarter and could never recover

in a loss to Tucumcari on the final day of the J.P. Stone Invitational in Dora.

“It was kind of a 180 from (Friday) against Gateway Christian,” said Panther coach Mark Lopez.

“We couldn’t get anything going offensively. They played a really good defensive game against us.”

Tucumcari, which hit nine 3pointers in the game, outscored the Panthers 12-4 in the first quarter then posted back-to-back quarters of 23 points en route to the win.

Chance Ortiz led Lake Arthur (1-4) with 14 points and 11 rebounds and Angelo Rivera had 10 points.

Zeller pours in 27 points, UNC upsets No. 10 Kentucky

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Tyler Zeller scored a careerhigh 27 points and hit the go-ahead free throws with 47 seconds left, helping North Carolina edge No. 10 Kentucky 75-73 on Saturday.

Zeller scored 12 of the final 16 points for the Tar Heels (5-3), who earned a needed victory against a big-name opponent after struggling the first month of the season.

John Henson added 13 points and 12 rebounds, giving North Carolina its sixth win in the past seven games against the Wildcats (5-2).

national powerhouses in the Big Eight before being split up into separate divisions in the Big 12. That divide, and down stretches for both programs, took some of the sizzle out of one of college football’s most storied rivalries.

This was only the second time Nebraska and Oklahoma met in the Big 12 championship game after deciding the Big Eight title 31 times in 36 seasons.

Now, they don’t figure to meet again for another decade unless it’s in a bowl game.

Nebraska will likely fall into the Insight or Alamo Bowl.

Martinez, who didn’t play in the Huskers’ Northclinching win against Colorado eight days earlier, had 143 yards passing with an interception but wasn’t taking the snaps in some key moments down the stretch.

“It felt good,” said Dexter coach Kim Hamill about how it felt to get the first victory of the season. “We played really good and the kids just relaxed and played basketball.

“In our four losses, we’ve been averaging more than 60 shots a game, but they just weren’t falling.

(Saturday) mor ning, they were falling.”

Jenna Garcia led a Demon offense that scored 16 points in the first, 17 in the second, 23 in the third and 19 in the fourth with a game-high 26.

Hannah Manneman recorded a double-double with 11 points and 19 rebounds and Silvia Mediano had 10 points for the Demons.

Dexter led by 10 going into the second half and opened the half with a 17-0 run to put the game out of reach.

Hagerman 33, Gateway Chr. 28 DORA — In a preview of a District 7-1A matchup, the Hagerman Lady Bobcats picked up their second win of the season by handing Gateway

Freshman Doron Lamb had a season-high 24 points for Kentucky, though he missed a desperation running heave for the win a few steps within halfcourt as time expired.

Zeller ended up as the steady hand for the Tar Heels in a game that featured five lead changes in the final 3 minutes. Zeller hit all of his six free throws in the final 90 seconds, while Larry Drew II came up with a pair of critical free throws with 20.9 seconds left.

Zeller, a 7-foot junior, also had 11 rebounds and five blocks while finishing 11 for 12 at the line. He was a big carries, he couldn’t handle a shotgun snap, and Lewis pounced again.

Cameron Kenney made a 23-yard catch on thirdand-24 and then made an 11-yard catch to move the chains on fourth down, setting up Stevens’ go-ahead field goal from 27 yards.

Nebraska shot out to a 17-0 lead before letting the Sooners back in the game late in the first half with 10 points in a 58-second span.

Roy Helu Jr. broke a tackle at the line of scrimmage and then was off to the races for a 66-yard touchdown run — the longest rush allowed by the Sooners this season — to give Nebraska an early 7-0 lead.

Alex Henery added a championship game-record 54yard field goal and the Cornhuskers benefited from an overturned call on a challenge by coach Bo Pelini to score again.

Three plays after Courtney Osborne’s fumble was overturned, Burkhead threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Kyler Reed out of the wildcat to make it 17-0.

Oklahoma struck right back with Jones’ 49-yard TD strike to Kenny Stills and Lewis came up with an interception in the end zone against Martinez and then scooped up Helu’s fumble to set up scores for the Sooners.

Despite the win, Hagerman coach Casey Crandall wasn’t pleased with the way his team played.

“We played absolutely horrible (Saturday),” he said. “We’re still missing really easy shots, making bad fouls and turning the ball over.

“I’m always glad to get a win and the fact that we still won the game with as bad as we played was good for the team.”

Brieanna Olivas led Hagerman (21) with 13 points, while Gabby Barela had eight and Leah Dunnahoo had seven.

Gateway coach Lezli Gill was disappointed with the loss, but said she knows her team can play better.

“I don’t think we necessarily played that well either,” Gill said. “I know how (Crandall) feels with the travelling back and forth and your team just gets worn out.

“I think our girls can play a little bit better.”

Mercedes Fox and Robrena Wade led Gateway (1-2) with 10 points each, while Lindzey Gill had seven.

Springer 48, NMMI 35 DORA — Caitlin Duree scored 11 points in the NMMI girls basketball team’s loss to Springer at the J.P. Stone Invitational on Saturday.

Angela Cross scored nine for the Colts (1-2), while Courtney Cook chipped in with seven points.

NMMI coach Maria Olesinski said that her team played better than the night before.

“You know, we played a pretty good game,” she said. “They outscored us in the fourth quarter, but we stayed with them for three quarters. I think we played pretty well. The defense was good and we improved in rebounding.

“We rebounded well (Saturday).

Too many shots didn’t fall in. We had good looks and just couldn’t put it in. I think overall, we played much better than (Friday) and that is what I am happy about.”

Dora 32, Lake Arthur 23 DORA — The Lake Arthur girls basketball team lost to the Dora junior varsity team at the J.P. Stone Invitational on Saturday.

The Panthers (0-5) were led by Mayra Davila’s 16 points.

“I have a lot of freshmen and sophomores that are playing,” Lake Arthur coach Ashlea Lard said.

“Dora’s JV was that age too, so we fit up with our age group. We worked on some things that we saw we had to work on and it will prepare us for our district. I am pretty happy with them.”

part of the Tar Heels’ dominance in the paint, where they outscored the Wildcats 34-14 and hounded Terrence Jones into a miserable game.

Jones came in leading Kentucky at nearly 21 points and 10 rebounds per game, but the 6-8 freshman struggled with the long-armed Henson shadowing him most of the afternoon. Jones finished with nine points and six rebounds on 3-for-17 shooting — including 0 for 7 after halftime — before fouling out with 3:04 left.

It came down to a frantic final sequence, with neither team having a timeout left and the Tar Heels protecting a 74-73 lead with 5.6 seconds remaining.

Tar Heels sophomore Dexter Strickland made the first free throw but missed the second, and Darius Miller grabbed the rebound in traffic. He fired an outlet pass to reserve Jarrod Polson, who quickly sent the ball to Lamb for the final heave that missed everything and set off a loud roar from a relieved home crowd.

Neither team shot the ball well after halftime, but the Tar Heels repeatedly got to the foul line to offset their shooting troubles. In fact, North Carolina shot 41 percent for the game and 1 for 11 from 3-point range, but went 26 for 37 at the line compared to 16 of 21 for Kentucky.

Kentucky shot just 9 for 30 (30 percent) in the second half.

The Wildcats led 57-51 midway through the second half, the biggest lead for either team after the break, but the Tar Heels climbed back to set up the back-and-forth final minutes.

Zeller hit two free throws for a 68-67 lead with 1:21 lead only to see Josh Harrelson answer with a stickback over Harrison Barnes with 52.8 seconds.

Brandon Knight scored 15 points for Kentucky, one of four Wildcats to foul out.

guys,” said Bronco coach Sean Schooley. “We got emotionally charged (Friday) and got caught up in things we couldn’t control. But (Saturday, the guys stayed calm and finished it out right.

“I was proud of the way the guys recovered.”

The eight wins match NMMI’s season total from a year ago.

“Compared to where we were last year at this

point, I’m pleased. But we’ve still got a long way to go,” Schooley said about whether he’s happy with where his team is through 12 games this season.

“We do some things well and we’ve got to improve on some others.

Teams are getting too many second chances on their offensive end. We’ve got to do a better job of limiting them to one shot and getting rebounds.

“Offensively, we stay in our offense and execute, so I’m happy with that.”

New Mexico tips New Mexico State 84-78 in OT

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Phillip McDonald hit two 3-pointers in overtime to lead New Mexico to a 84-78 victory over New Mexico State on Saturday night.

McDonald scored eight of his 18 points in overtime, knocking down a 3-pointer with 3:48 left in the extra session to put the Lobos (6-1) ahead for good.

Dairese Gary led the Lobos with 19 points and Kendall Williams had 17. The Lobos shot 50 percent, while New Mexico State (2-6) finished at 31.1 percent in its sixth straight loss.

Aggies junior Troy Gillenwater scored a career-high 32 points, including 21 in the first half. But Gillenwater was 2-for-17 in the second half and overtime to finish 8-for-29.

Gordo Castillo finished with 11 points, and Hernst Laroche had 13.

The Aggies trailed by 17 with 9:26 left in the first half, but Castillo hit a jumper with 5.3 seconds left that sent it into overtime tied 73-73.

Smith, Irving lead No. 1 Duke over Butler

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The last two times Duke beat Butler, Mike Krzyzewski moved into a tie with one of college basketball's legendary names.

Last April, the Blue Devils' 61-59 victory in one of the best NCAA championship games ever gave Coach K four national titles, the same as Adolph Rupp managed at Kentucky.

On Saturday, No. 1 Duke beat Butler 8270, Krzyzewski's 876th win in his 36th season, the same as "The Baron" had in 41 seasons with the Wildcats.

"I'm going to win more I think than Coach Rupp, God bless him, who won't win any more," Krzyzewski said of the late coach.

"He won a lot of them and he won them in his way and they didn't play as many games then. Each era has outstanding achievements by individuals, whether they be players or coaches and in this era I've been fortunate to have some.

"It's tough to compare," Krzyzewski said.

"I much rather would have tied him in April than today because I'm going to keep coaching and we should win more games.

You get too caught up with what your own team is doing to focus on that kind of stuff."

The 18th straight win for Duke (8-0) was on the backs of the senior-freshman backcourt of Nolan Smith, who had 24 points, and Kyrie Irving, who had 17 of his 21 in the second half — including two big 3-pointers that turned aside the last Bulldogs (4-3) charge.

They compliment each other after a game just as nicely as they complement each other during the game.

"Nolan did a tremendous job tonight. He played like a veteran," Irving said. "He put us on his back in the second half of this game."

Smith said: "Kyrie brings a lot. He's a dangerous point guard."

The duo came into the game averaging a combined 33.8 points, 8.7 rebounds and 11.2 assists.

On Saturday, the combined line read 45 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and that helped offset a foul-plagued 13 points for forward Kyle Singler.

"They have, arguably, three of — if not the three best — players in the country in their starting lineup," Butler coach Brad Stevens said of Smith, Singler and Irving.

The Blue Devils won the championship game 61-59 in the spring when future lottery pick Gordon Hayward's shot from just inside halfcourt bounced off the backboard and rim. That game was played in Indianapolis, 6 miles from Butler's campus.

This was a neutral-site game at the Izod Center, a building where Duke is 19-1 under Krzyzewski, winning the last 12 in a row.

It also ended a tough two-week stretch for Duke, a run that included wins over top 10 teams Kansas State and Michigan State as well as a trip to Oregon so Singler could play a game near his home and against little brother E.J., who starts for the Ducks.

"That's as tough a two weeks as any team in the country has played and we scheduled it that way," Krzyzewski said.

"You can't practice that. You can't practice the amount of energy you need to have. You can't practice being on the road. You can't practice playing against championship-level teams. I'm proud of our guys because they came through it."

This is the 16th time under Krzyzewski that Duke has started a season 8-0, while Butler is 0-3 against top-ranked teams with the last meeting against DePaul in 1980.

Shawn Vanzant had 14 points for the Bulldogs (4-3), and his 12-point second half was what kept them close until Duke pulled away in the final minutes. The Blue Devils had not trailed in the final 30 minutes of a game this season.

Butler led 44-42 when Duke went on a 12-0 run, capped by a dunk by Mason Plumlee off an alley-oop pass from Andre Dawkins with 10:47 to play.

UConn beats South Florida 19-16 for BCS bowl berth

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Dave Teggart lived the kicker’s dream, and took his Connecticut teammates along for the ride.

Teggart had four field goals, including a career-long 52-yarder with 17 seconds to play, as UConn clinched the Big East’s automatic Bowl Championship Series berth Saturday night with a 19-16 win over South Florida.

“Kickers in general, we don’t get on the field too often,” Teggart said. “That’s part of the job, you’re going to get chances like that and I’m happy to capitalize on it.”

Teggart had a previous long field goal of 47 yards, with his longest attempt — a miss against Syracuse earlier this year — coming from 49 yards away. Matching his career-high for field goals made in a game, Teggart ensured a lot of postgame singing and dancing in the locker room.

“It hasn’t hit me yet,’ he said of UConn’s first-ever BCS bowl spot. “It was a great team win, honestly.”

Lawrence Wilson had an interception return for a touchdown and Teggart kicked three field goals, including one from 50 yards early in the fourth, to put Connecticut (8-4, 5-2) up 16-6.

“To be heading to a BCS game and win the Big East championship within seven years of being in this league says a lot about the character, the resolve, and the work ethic of all these people in the program now and even the guys who came before,” Connecticut coach Randy Edsall said.

Two plays after South Florida linebacker Sam Barrington recovered a fumble by Jordan Todman at the UConn 30, Bobby Eveld pulled the Bulls within 16-13 on a 28yard TD pass to Dontavia Bogin 6 1⁄2 minutes into the fourth.

Maikon Bonani knotted it at 16 on his 22-yard kick with 1:16 left to complete an 11-play, 74-yard drive.

“Right now they’re hurting,” South Florida coach Skip Holtz said. “When you put that much into it, losing hurts.”

UConn, which won five straight conference games after starting 0-2 in league play, went 2-4 on the road this year.

Todman, who came in averaging 148.1 yards rushing a game this season, picked

up 93 yards on 33 carries.

Eveld started for South Florida (7-5, 3-4) in place of B.J. Daniels, who hurt his right leg during a 23-20 overtime win on Nov. 27 at Miami. The freshman went 22 for 41 for 195 yards, with a touchdown pass and three interceptions.

“In his first start, he competed,” Holtz said of Eveld, who turned 19 on Saturday.

“He was focused. He was dialed in.”

Daniels has a combined 13 passing and rushing touchdowns this season.

South Florida took a 3-0 lead on its first possession when Bonani made a 42-yard field goal. Teggart tied it at 3 on his 40-yard field goal nine minutes into the game.

The Huskies went up 10-3 when Wilson returned a deflected pass 55 yards for a touchdown with 1:11 left in the second. It came one play after South Florida’s Jon Lejiste stopped a UConn drive with an interception at the South Florida 7.

Teggart extended the Huskies’ advantage to 13-3 with a 22-yard field goal midway through the third. Bonani cut the Bulls’ deficit to 13-6 late in the third on his successful kick from 38 yards out.

South Florida lost for the second time in its last six games.

Next stop for Auburn, Oregon: National title game

Roswell Daily Record

Auburn demolishes S.C. for SEC title Oregon wins Civil War to finish 12-0

AP Photo

Auburn’s Byron Isom, left, and Bart Eddins carry the trophy around the field after defeating South Carolina, 56-17, to win the SEC title, Saturday.

ATLANTA (AP) — Cam Newton left nothing to chance. He ran and passed the Auburn Tigers to a shot at the national championship they were denied six years ago, and he might as well start working on that Heisman pose, too.

Newton passed for a career -high 335 yards and four touchdowns, plus ran for a pair of TDs in an MVP performance that led No. 2 Auburn to the Southeastern Conference championship with a 56-17 rout of Steve Spurrier and No. 18 South Carolina on Saturday.

The Tigers, who came into the day sitting atop the Bowl Championship Series standings, must wait 24 hours before getting the official word, but it’s nothing more than a formality: They’ll be playing Oregon for the national title on Jan. 10 in Glendale, Ariz.

The No. 1 Ducks beat Oregon State 37-20 to assure the unbeaten matchup, which denied another perfect team, TCU, a shot at becoming the first school from a non-BCS conference to play for the title.

Before the national title is decided, Newton will likely be picking up the college game’s top individual honor when the Heisman Trophy is awarded next weekend in New York City — especially since he was cleared of wrongdoing by the NCAA in a payfor-play scandal.

Auburn coach Gene Chizik said Newton is the best college player he’s ever seen. That includes Vince Young, who was at Texas when Chizik was the defensive coordinator.

“When you look at the 13-game span, I’ve never seen anything like it,” Chizik said. “It’s running the ball. It’s throwing the ball. Usually great quarterbacks do one or the other better. What God has blessed Cameron with is the ability to be really, really good at both.”

Hard to imagine the Heisman vote even being close after the 6-foot-6, 250-pound junior followed Tim Tebow as only the second player in the history of football’s top division to run AND pass for 20 touchdowns in a season. He slipped away from defenders with his surprising quickness, buying extra time to throw. He broke tackles with his power, not at all shocking given that he outweighed all three of South Carolina’s starting linebackers by at least 25 pounds.

Or he just ran right over ’em.

“You can’t tackle him,” said Spurrier, who was denied his seventh SEC title. “He’s almost a one-man show but those guys really help and their receivers are really good.

With that offensive line and him, it’s hard to stop him.”

Newton guided the Tigers (13-0) to touchdowns on their first three possessions, though South Carolina (9-4) was in the game as halftime approached. Trailing only 21-14, the Gamecocks simply had to knock down Newton’s last-gasp heave on the final play before the break.

They couldn’t even do that.

Newton launched one up and 6-foot-2 DeVonte Holloman, standing in front of Terrell Zachery, leaped to tip it away. But the deflected ball went right to Darvin Adams for an improbable 51-yard touchdown that changed the complexion of the game. After South Carolina missed a field goal on the first possession of the second half, it was all Tigers.

“That was huge momentum swing right before the half,” Chizik said.

Maybe there’s a bit of karma in how things worked out.

While many will surely consider any title to be tainted because of Newton’s father seeking illegal payments during the recruiting process, the Tigers can counter that this makes up for the 2004 season.

Auburn went 13-0 that year but didn’t get a chance to even play for the national title.

Instead, USC and Oklahoma met in the Orange Bowl, with the Trojans winning in a 55-19 romp.

This game was nearly as lopsided. In the second half, Newton ran right over Antonio Allen on a 1-yard touchdown, sending the linebacker tumbling onto his back to make it 35-14. The Auburn star finished his day with a nifty little 7-yard scoring pass to Emory Blake in the right corner of the end zone for a 49-14 lead.

After picking up his MVP award, Newton headed off on a familiar victory lap. He ran all the way to the opposite end of the Georgia Dome, slapping hands with the Auburn fans gathered along the railing.

Now, it’s on to the Big Apple, and then to the Arizona desert.

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — As the third quarter turned to the fourth and AC/DC blared in Reser Stadium, Oregon State’s sideline was rocking, its players thinking they just might pull off a monster upset.

On their side, Oregon stayed cool — focused on winning the day.

When it was done, and a spot in the BCS national title game was secured, that’s when the Ducks finally let loose.

Heisman Trophy contender LaMichael James, Kenjon Barner and the fastpaced Ducks negotiated the last speed bump on the way to Glendale, Ariz., grinding out a 37-20 victory over the Beavers in the Civil War on Saturday.

The matchup becomes official Sunday, but there will be no surprises when the final Bowl Championship Series standings come out: Oregon will play Auburn on Jan. 10 for its first national championship.

“The best part about it is ... we expected this,” Ducks defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. “It’s the way we prepared, the way we planned, we expected this.”

James ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns while Barner had 133 yards and scored twice for the Ducks (12-0, 9-0 Pac-10), who used some stiff defense in the red zone — led by Bair and Casey Matthews — and three interceptions to fend off their feisty rivals.

Not until the fourth quarter did Oregon finally shake free.

Barner’s 23-yard touchdown run with 12:16 made it 30-13 and James popped through the middle for a 10yard score with 4:27 left to seal it.

Jacquizz Rodgers had 87 yards rushing for the Beavers (5-7, 4-5) and scored a touchdown, but they were forced to settle for short field goals twice in the third quarter — and that just won’t do against the most prolific offense in the country.

“We should have gotten into the end zone on those field goals. It hurt us bad,” said Markus Wheaton, who had 10 catches for 137 yards and a late touchdown that was too little too late.

When clock hit 00:00, James and his teammates bounded over to a corner of the stadium to celebrate with their band, their famous Donald Duck-clone mascot and their fans.

The Oregon faithful spilled onto the field and the push

up-pumping mascot got swallowed up as he crowd surfed. The party was headed south, 40 miles down Interstate 5 to Eugene.

The Ducks, the Pac-10’s new power with their highspeed spread offense, rising star coach Chip Kelly and the wildest uniforms Nike and Oregon alumnus Phil Knight can provide, are relative newcomers among college football’s elite.

Yet Kelly disdains such big-picture talk about a shift in the football landscape.

“Win the day,” is his motto — and there are 37 between now and the national title game.

“We’re not going to play a national championship right now, we’re going to prepare for one,” he said. “But we got to this point by our preparation and we know we’re going to have to go to work for the next month to show up on the 10th.”

TCU, which was sitting in third-place in the BCS standings coming into the weekend and needing an upset to get to the championship game, didn’t get it from the Beavers.

The stakes for the 114th Civil War were higher than for any of the rivalry’s previous meetings, with the

Ducks assured of a spot in the national title game with a victory. The Beavers? They were simply looking to get to .500 and avoid sitting out the bowl season for the first time since 2001.

Oregon State didn’t play like an underdog and Oregon never did unleash a wave of big plays, like those that have consumed so many other teams.

The Beavers’ blitzes got to quarterback Darron Thomas and the Ducks sometimes sputtered, failing to land a knock-out shot until late.

For decades, Oregon was a second-class Pac-10 team, too. But in 1994 Rich Brooks led the Ducks to their first Rose Bowl since 1965 and it turned out to be no fluke. Brooks left for the NFL and handed the program off to Mike Bellotti.

After the 2008 season, Bellotti stepped aside and Kelly, after just one season as offensive coordinator, was promoted to head coach.

The Ducks were far from their best Saturday, but as the clear skies turned gray and clouds began to cover Mount Hood off in the distance, Oregon showed its resolve and toughness.

Now it’s on to Glendale, Ariz.

Virginia Tech captures ACC crown with 44-33 victory

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It took just five days for Virginia Tech to go from national title contender to head-scratching also-ran.

Then the Hokies began to tur n their season around. They’ve been getting better ever since.

Slowly and quietly, they have climbed back with 11 straight victories, culminating in Tyrod Taylor’s four -touchdown performance Saturday night as No. 12 Virginia Tech beat No. 20 Florida State 44-33 for its third Atlantic Coast Conference title in four years.

Nearly forgotten after falling to Boise State and FCS school James Madison, Virginia Tech is headed to the Orange Bowl on Jan. 3, while Florida State will have to settle for the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Dec. 31.

Taylor threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns and his dizzying 5yard scramble for a TD early in the fourth quarter put it away for the Hokies in front of thousands of their orange, poncho-clad fans on a dreary and chilly night.

Selected the game’s MVP, Taylor’s top target was

Danny Coale, who caught six passes for a career-best 143 yards and a score while exposing Florida State’s shaky secondary.

Ty Jones rushed for three touchdowns for Florida State (9-4), while EJ Manuel threw two interceptions, one returned for a

touchdown, filling in for injured starter Christian Ponder.

Up 21-17 at halftime, Virginia Tech took control with touchdown drives on its first two series of the second half as it converted 13 of its first 15 third downs.

Taylor was quick to spot Coale when Florida State lost him in coverage at the start of the third quarter.

With nobody within 15 yards of him, Coale hauled in a 45-yard touchdown pass.

Taylor started the second drive with his one of his

signature scrambles to avoid a sack for 12 yards.

The drive ended when he alertly picked up a blitz and lofted a pass to an uncovered David Wilson for a 21-yard catch-and-run TD. It was Taylor’s 23rd TD pass of the season, one

better than Maurice DeShazo’s old school record.

Taylor’s scramble for a score with 11:29 left made it 41-24. Florida State retur ned the botched point-after for 2 points but it didn’t matter as Beamer won his 240th game.

It was a sour night for Florida State, which had visions of returning to the top of the league.

The Seminoles won or shared the conference crown nine straight years after joining the league in 1992. But its last ACC title was in 2005, when it upset Virginia Tech in the first championship game.

The recent woes helped lead to Bobby Bowden’s departure and Jimbo Fisher’s promotion before this season.

After an early blowout loss to Oklahoma and heartbreaking defeats to North Carolina and North Carolina State, the Seminoles backed into the title game when the Wolfpack lost to Maryland last weekend.

Manuel completed 23 of 31 passes for 288 yards, including a 20-yard TD pass to Chris Thompson with 7 seconds left.

Tiger stays in control of Chevron World Challenge Roswell Daily Record

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif.

(AP) — Tiger Woods was in the middle of the fairway, posing over an 8-iron from 170 yards away. Luke Donald was on the top of the hill next to the clubhouse when he turned his head upon hearing another big cheer from the gallery that surrounded the 18th green.

The large video screen in the distance showed the ball next to the hole.

“Looks like he’s finding his form,” Donald said.

It’s looked like that all week.

With three straight birdies early to turn back a brief challenge, a key par save on the back nine and one last birdie on the 18th, Woods had a 4-under 68 in the Chevron World Challenge to maintain his fourshot lead over U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell.

Following the worst year of Woods’ career, he is one round away from a familiar finish.

“I’m excited about tomorrow because of the way I’m playing,” Woods said.

It was the first time all

year that Woods has posted four straight rounds in the 60s, dating to his finalround 65 in the Australian Masters two weeks ago.

What mattered was keeping his four -shot margin over McDowell. Woods has never lost a tournament when leading by at least three shots going into the final round.

No one else was within eight shots of the lead.

After eight months of looking like an ordinary player, Woods is starting to resemble the guy with 82 wins and 14 majors. It was his lowest score and largest lead after three rounds since the BMW Championship last year, which he won by eight.

Woods was careful not to get ahead of himself.

“To be honest with you, I don’t look at it that way when I’m out there playing,” he said. “I’m just in the moment, trying to put the golf ball on different sides of the fairway, where I need to put it on the green. I just play. You would think that my mind might go there, but it’s

good discipline. Feels good.”

McDowell, trailing by four going into the second round, quickly closed within a shot with a two-putt birdie on the second and daring tee shot to the topright hole location on the par-3 third.

Woods quickly pulled away. He hit a blast-andrun from a plugged lie in the bunker on the par -5 fifth to 2 feet, rolled in a fast 20-foot birdie on the sixth and then covered the flag on the seventh to about 3 feet.

Just like that, his lead was back to five.

Woods says the difference between this tournament and his last few events has been grasping what Sean Foley is teaching.

“I still view this as incremental. I don’t see any leaps and bounds because it’s been an understandings of the swing, the technique, and becoming more efficient,” he said. “I think that’s what you’re seeing.

I’m just more efficient at it.”

NFLPA tells players to save money in case of lockout

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — NFL players might be socking away their paychecks soon to get ready for a lockout that could cost them their entire salary in 2011.

The pro football players’ union has advised its members to save their last three game checks this year in case next season is canceled. In a letter to the players that was viewed by The Associated Press, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said the union’s “internal deadline” for agreeing to a new collective bargaining agreement has passed.

“It is important that you protect yourself and your family,” he wrote in the letter, which was dated Wednesday.

NFLPA spokesman George Atallah declined to elaborate on what effect the passing of the self-imposed deadline would have on negotiations, saying the letter was an “internal communication.”

But copies were strewn across a table on Saturday in the New England Patriots’ locker room, where they were visible to players, reporters and team officials. After a reporter asked players about the letter, a Patriots spokesman flipped the copies face-down.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello called the news of a deadline “disappointing and inexplicable, especially for fans.”

“We hope this does not mean the union has abandoned negotiating in favor of decertifying and litigating,” he said.

“We are ready to meet and negotiate anytime and anywhere. But it takes sustained effort and shared commitment to reach an agreement. One side can’t do it alone.”

About an hour after telling the AP, “We don’t comment publicly on our internal communications with players,” Atallah did just that on Twitter.

“Today’s memo to NFL players was an internal deadline to prepare, not for CBA negotiations,” he wrote, following up with two more tweets: “The NFL knows that we have exchanged correspondence and met regularly,” and “To spin this as an end to the NFLPA’s negotiating is dumb.

Perhaps the outrage can be directed towards preventing a lockout.”

The NFL has not missed games due to labor strife since 1987, when the players went on strike and the owners continued the season with replacement players. But the prospect of a lost season in 2011 intensified when owners opted out of the collective bargaining agreement in 2008, saying they could not make a profit if required to give

almost 60 cents of every $1 in revenue to the players.

Smith has said that he believes the owners opted out with the goal of locking the players out. The NFLPA’s home page features a “Lockout Watch” that counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds until the CBA expires on March 3.

The one-page letter on NFLPA stationery said the union expects the lockout to begin March 4, and that players should work with their advisers to prepare for an impending lack of income.

It also said the league threatened to cancel the players’ health insurance.

The union said it would file a grievance to contest a cancellation of health insurance, noting that the CBA promises players their health insurance would continue “through the end of the Plan Year in which they are released or otherwise sever employment.”

Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light said players understand the nature of the business, but the threat to cancel health insurance is different.

“You’re going to cancel somebody’s health insurance and maybe they’ve got a baby that’s due in the offsea-

son?” said Light, who is one of the team’s player representatives. “Yeah, it gets personal.”

Aiello said that there would be no interruption of health care, because of the federal COBRA law that allows employees to continue coverage at their own expense.

“This means that no player or family member would experience any change in coverage for so much as a single day because of a work stoppage,” he said. “The union surely knows this and there is no excuse for suggesting otherwise.”

But players have gone public with their case in recent weeks, briefing Congress on the job loss and other economic impacts of a lockout and even drafting letters for lawmakers to send to the league. Using many of the same studies the NFL relies on when trumpeting public subsidies for new stadiums, an economist commissioned by the union estimated an average of about $160 million in local spending and 3,000 jobs would be lost in each league city if the full 2011 season were wiped out.

The NFL called the figures “a fairy tale.”

Tomorrow Starts Without Me When tomorrow starts without me, And I’m not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn’t cry The way you did today, While thinking of the many things, We didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, And said my place was ready, In heaven far above, And that I’d have to leave behind All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye For all my life, I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.

I had so much to live for, So much left yet to do, It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had If I could re-live yesterday Just even for a while, I’d say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.

But then fully realized, That this could never be, For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of

Roswell Daily Record me.

And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne.

He said, “This is eternity, And all I’ve promised you.”

Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each day’s the same way There’s no longing for the past.

You have been so faithful, So trusting and so true.

Though there were times You did some things You knew you shouldn’t do.

But you have been forgiven And now at last you’re free.

So won’t you come and take my hand And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right here, in your heart.

Russell noted that in the past seven years, the CFCC has given more than $88,000 to 48 non-profits in the Chaves County. Last year the gala raised more than $17,000 for the 2010 grant cycle, but this year, Russell hopes to top that.

“We’d love to make at least $30,000, if not more,” Russell said.

The auction will be held Tuesday, Dec. 7, at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, 912 N. Main St., from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $20 in advance or $25 at the door.

They can be purchased at the Community Foundation of Chaves County, 1717 W. Second Street, Suite 171; Easter n New Mexico UniversityRoswell Administration Office; Pecos Flavors Winery, 305 N.

Santa Claus is coming to town this month, and thankfully, so is the eighth annual Angel Gala.

For those who have yet to stack presents under the tree, the Christmas auction fundraiser provides shoppers a chance to find bargain deals on gifts for loved ones — with a bow on top to boot.

The event, hosted by the Community Foundation of Chaves County, will feature both a live and silent auction.

This year’s most highly prized items include a six-day hunting safari in South Africa, valued at $3,000; a 32-inch flat screen TV; and a three-quarter carat white gold ladies pendant from Bullock’s Jewelry, Inc., valued at $1,800.

“We’re just so excited,” Susie Russell, organizer of the event and executive director of CFCC, said. “We’ve have incredible success with the generosity of our community, and it’s just going to be a lot of fun.”

More than 100 items donated by individuals and local organizations will be auctioned off. Other hot include a flight lesson with Great Southwest Aviation, a Taos ski vacation, a Kindle reader, gift certificates, jewelry, artwork and overnight hotel stays at spas across the state.

Bill Owen, former Roswell mayor, and Jeff Smith, president of Prime Source Mortgage, Inc., will emcee the event alongside guest auctioneer and area rancher, Aubrey Dunn.

“It’s a blast and everybody has a good time,” Smith said.

“And people can get high quality items for a pretty reasonable price.”

While waiting for the bidding to kick off, participants can enjoy a full-liquor cash bar and hors d’oeuvres, such as sliced pork tenderloin, miniature quiches and savory meatballs in a green chile sauce, provided

by Peppers Grill & Bar. Some of the proceeds raised from the auction will go towards the overhead and operational costs of CFCC, a charity organization which does not receive outside funding from the local, state or federal government and is almost completely dependent on contributions. The rest of the proceeds will benefit the foundation’s Angel Fund, which supports annual grants to local non-profits.

Man’s wife doesn’t feel comfortable at his church

Q: I want my wife to attend my church with me, but she says it’s too formal and liturgical. And she feels the people aren’t friendly. The denomination I attend is very important to me and I will not give up my faith — but we don’t have another church of this kind around us for miles; in fact, the closest is about 45 miles away. What should we do?

JIM: Your ability to find common ground on this issue will depend on the degree to which you’re both willing to compromise. Some churches offer a more upbeat, informal service on Saturday evenings. Your wife might feel more comfortable in such a setting. Is that an option at your current church? If your wife feels like an “outsider” to your particular tradition, I’d encourage you to take it upon yourself to help her feel more welcome. Go out of your way to help her make friends.

I know you're determined to be faithful to your denomination, but would you at least consider the possibility of finding a place of worship outside that denomination, for your wife’s sake? The beauty of the Christian tradition is that many different denominations trace their doctrines back to the same basic biblical tenets. Switching from a Baptist church to a Presbyterian or non-denominational church, for example, is hardly the same thing as “abandoning your faith.” And in the end, driving 45 miles to the other church you mentioned might be worth it. It’s certainly a better option than having you and your wife attend separate churches.

Chefs become teachers at Harvard class

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Dan Barber’s culinary skills have earned him a James Beard “Outstanding Chef” award. The food at his New York restaurant Blue Hill also was the centerpiece for a Manhattan date night between President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama.

Yet it’s his focus on cultivating flavor before foodstuffs even reach his kitchen that put him in an unusual setting recently.

Trading his chefs whites for a loosened tie and sport coat, Barber stood in the well of a Harvard University science hall, delivering a guest lecture as part of the hottest course on campus this fall: Physical Universe 27, or, “Science and Cooking: From Haute Cuisine to Soft Matter Science.”

As part of the course, top chefs from around the world, including the current master of the gastronomic universe, Ferran Adria, chef/owner of Spain’s famed elBulli restaurant, have attempted to explain how physics and other sciences influence their cooking.

They’ve also shown that their cooking, in Adria’s case often labeled “molecular gastronomy,” can illustrate scientific feats such as spherification, gelation and oxidation. One of Adria’s signature dishes is warm — but, seemingly miraculously, not melted — ice cream. His trick is the additive methylcellulose, a gum which solidifies when it warms rather than cools.

Not exactly a pantry staple. And that’s sort of the point.

The goal is to teach science in new and interesting ways, part of the university’s effort to revamp its general education offerings. The target audience is not just history majors seeking to satisfy curriculum distribution requirements, but budding scientists with an equal passion for food.

“If you know this is why you have lemon juice, then you can say, ‘Well, lemon juice is here for a certain effect. Are there other things that can substitute for lemon juice if I don’t have lemon juice, because I’m just looking for an effect, not necessarily the lemon juice itself?”’ said senior Larissa Zhou.

The 22-year -old physics major is one of the course’s teaching assistants, reinforcing the work of its two professors. Hundreds of her classmates competed for the 300 spots in the course, and hundreds more have lined up hours early on recent Mondays to attend guest lectures.

They have been delivered by Barber, Adria and others famed chefs such as Grant Achatz of Alinea in Chicago, Jose Andres of Jaleo in Washington and, finally, on Dec. 6, David Chang of momofuku in New York.

“Everything that I celebrate in the kitchen, and that I am celebrated for, actually begins here,” Barber said during his lecture, aptly titled, “Cultivating Flavor.”

Using a PowerPoint presentation, he explained that he uses traditional cooking techniques but attempts to distinguish his cuisine through the science behind the meats and produce he serves. His personal laboratory is Stone Barns, a farm where he, his brother and sister-in-law own a restaurant and run a cafe 25 miles north of New York City. The trio also own Blue Hill Farm in Great Barrington, Mass., largely a dairy operation.

At Stone Barns, chefs work with farmers to learn which grasses and grazing methods produce the tastiest lamb. They see how compost and pulverized charcoal sown in the ground affect the sugar content of carrots that grow in it. And they experiment with minimizing their environmental footprint by turning lobster bodies into charcoal they, in turn, use to grill fresh lobsters.

“I’m not an environmentalist, but in the pursuit of the science behind influencing flavors, what I’ve come to learn is that if you’re pursuing the best flavor, you have to have the best biology in the soil,” Barber said in an interview.

Michael Brenner, one of the professors leading the course, said the chefs have proven to be remarkably adept communicators, distilling complex scientific concepts into everyday language. He lauded Andres for his discussion of fat, proteins and carbohydrates.

“Some of the students came up later and remarked how much easier it was to understand him than us,” Brenner said of his fellow teachers.

The course grew from a lecture Adria delivered two years ago. Harvard’s interest in reinvigorating its general education curriculum dovetailed with work the chef does through his Alicea Foundation to spread knowledge of food and science.

DR. JULI SLATTERY

JIM DALY

FAMILY SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

I’m reminded of the joke in which a man is filling out an employment application and gets hung up on the question, “What is your church preference?” After thinking about it for a minute, he writes, “I prefer a red brick church.” If only the decision were that simple! ** ** ** Q: Every year, I dread the holiday season — the noise, commercials, cards and gifts nauseate me. I also dread the parties and get-togethers with relatives. It all just seems so fake. Frankly, I get depressed during Christmas.

My wife loves Christmas, so I feel like I have to pretend to enjoy it for her sake. Any help for a Grinch?

JULI: Well, Mr. Grinch, you’re not alone in your dislike for the holidays. In fact, depression and suicide rates spike during this time of year. Feeling depressed at Christmas is even worse because everyone is telling you that you should be happy!

Your dislike for the holidays may not be about Christ-

mas at all, but rather what it has become. Christmas is first and foremost a religious observance, the day Christians commemorate and contemplate the incarnation of Jesus Christ. How people celebrate Christmas is a completely different matter. In fact, many people who love the meaning of Christmas are appalled by the materialism and hedonism now associated with it. I think it’s just as appropriate to weep on Christmas Eve as you contemplate Jesus' birth as it is to give a gift to a loved one.

Instead of chucking the whole holiday, ask yourself the question, “How can I best celebrate Christmas this year?”

The answer may be for you to skip a party and serve dinner to those less fortunate.

In the “spirit of Christmas,” we all flex a little for others, spending time with in-laws, going to work parties we don't really feel like attending and so on. But I would encourage you not to “fake” your excitement for the holidays to make your wife happy. Instead, find the genuine joy of celebrating an event that changed the course of history in your own way. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

‘Upcycling,’ more on ‘Creative Living’

Information on “upcycling,” bamboo for crafts and making a double Roman Shade will be the featured topics on “Creative Living” on Tuesday, Dec. 7, at 9:30 p.m. and on Thursday, Dec. 9, at noon. All times are Mountain.

“Upcycling” is a new term meaning to restyle older clothing, not to be confused with recycling. Barbara Crawford, owner of Crawford Designs and designer will show how to take several clothing items from the closet, then cut them apart and put them together in a fresh, new way. She’s from Gladstone, Mo. Judy Novella is with Fairfield Processing Corp. in Danbury, Conn., and she will talk about the strict requirements regarding rayon from bamboo and how all products made from bamboo are under close scrutiny by the FTC due to deceptive claims about the product.

Terrell Sundermann is going to demonstrate making a double Roman Shade which is a two-shade system mounted on one board which can easily be made at home. The front is a

typical Roman Shade and the back is a sheer Roman Shade. Her business is Terrell Designs and she lives in Englewood, Colo.

Information on making desserts, and clay pottery making will be the featured topics on “Creative Living” on Tuesday, Dec. 7 at noon and on Saturday, Dec. 11, at 2 p.m. All times are Mountain.

Fresh and simple gifts you can make by hand

JENNIFER FORKER FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sometimes, a new twist on an old idea is all it takes and a beautiful handmade gift is born.

If you’re inclined toward making your own gifts this holiday season, look in on the following five ideas, which stand out for their simplicity and freshness.

SILHOUETTE ON CANVAS Haile McCollum of Thomasville, Ga., is her family’s de facto genealogist, the keeper of heirlooms and ancestral silhouette portraits. She also has a background in graphic design, and has reinvented the silhouette with her own two sons — and the family dog, Amos — as subjects.

Her idea is featured in “Crafting a Meaningful Home” (STC Craft/Melanie Falick Books, 2010).

McCollum simplified and updated the silhouette using modern technology; silhouettes are decoupaged onto painted canvas rather than secreted behind frames.

To make the silhouette, paint a small oval-stretched canvas with acrylic paint and let dry. With a digital camera, take a profile photo — only a head shot — of the subject. Upload the photo to a computer and resize. Print the photo and carefully cut it out, getting as many details as possible. Secure this pattern onto a sheet of heavyweight paper and cut it to match. Adhere profile to canvas using decoupage glue; let it dry. Paint another thin layer of decoupage glue over the entire canvas.

McCollum recommends experimenting with paper and color, perhaps putting a hot-pink silhouette onto a bright orange background, or putting brown on blue.

Paper with a tight pattern may look good, too. Card stock works best for the silhouette, says McCollum, who owns a personalized stationery and gift compa-

ny called Fontaine Maury.

The silhouettes needn’t even be paper. For example, they can be cut out of fabric and sewn or glued onto pillow cases. “In our bedroom, we have our two sons on our two pillows on our bed. It’s really cute,” says McCollum.

PERSONALIZED PILLOW Kim Johnson of Estero, Fla., is an illustrator and amateur photographer whose artistic canvas is the pillow. She sews her own out of a felt fabric made from recycled plastic bottles, and embellishes the pillows with the same soft felt.

The self-taught sewer says that working with felt is especially easy because the material doesn’t fray.

The felt at fabric stores will work, but Johnson uses higher -end wool felt and bamboo felt that she buys from the online dealer Feltorama.

In a hurry? Buy a goodlooking pillow and embellish it with felt using fabric glue. Need inspiration?

Check out Johnson’s ideas at her Etsy online shop, photographik.

PAPER PHOTO PENDANT If you’ve ever made your own cardboard photo frames, this idea is that in miniature, on a ribbon.

Aubrey Avila of Marion, N.C., was trying to create a locket for her children’s photos when she hit on this simple idea, tutorials for which she sells at her Etsy shop, Decelerate.

The craft goes something like this: Cut out a 3-by-1 1/2-inch square of thin cardboard (cereal boxes work well). Fold it in half.

Cut an opening for the photo that measures 1-by1/2-inch on one half side.

Cover this with a heavyweighted paper, such as card stock — something with a small, tight design.

Fold the paper over the cardboard, making sure the edges are smooth; use hot glue to secure. At the photo opening, cut a small “x” and carefully peel back the paper, leaving a clean finish; glue edges down.

Wrap 20-gauge wire around the spine of the frame and make a loop at the top for inserting ribbon.

Finally, glue the two sides of the frame together, leaving the bottom open for inserting a tiny image. Vellum can be inserted with the photo to protect it.

Avila says the fit is tight enough that the image won’t fall out.

The pendant is perfect for holiday gift-giving, and it’s easy enough for kids to make with a little parental guidance, she says.

“You want something that can be customized,” says Avila. “I think that makes a gift more meaningful. That’s the whole idea.”

THE ‘TECHEE’ SLEEVE Architects-turned-crafting entrepreneurs, Kim Mason and Christina Guerrero of Philadelphia teamed up last summer to create the Etsy online store Rogue Theory. They sell all kinds of colorful “sleeves” for protecting today’s high-tech toys, from Kindles to iPods.

Desert Sun Motors opens new dealership Roswell Daily Record

JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Roswell Chamber of Commerce Redcoats performed the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of Desert Sun Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, 1309 S.E. Main St., on Saturday at noon.

“This has been a long time coming,” Travis Hicks, Desert Sun Motors executive manager, said. ”To be able to stand out here after we’ve been working for a few months...and officially celebrate makes it feel real. We’re super excited.”

The new dealership, formerly Bob Crow Chrysler Dodge, was acquired by Desert Sun Motors auto group on Aug. 2 earlier this year, according to Hicks.

“We then started the process of trying to buy it back in March,” Hicks said. “We’ve taken some time to get the inventory out here and dress the facility up as much as we could to have an official grand opening.”

With the addition of Desert Sun Chrysler,

Jeep, Dodge, Desert Sun Motors can continue to make the claim that they are one of the largest auto dealership groups in southeast New Mexico.

“Desert Sun is Chevrolet, GMC, Buick Cadillac, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Toyota, so it gives us a wide variety of product that we can [sell to] meet the needs of everybody in Roswell and our surrounding communities,” Hicks said.

According to Desert Sun Motors owner Bobby Martinez, Desert Sun Motors began in Alamogordo in 1994 and expanded to Roswell in 2001.

“This is another piece of the puzzle,” Martinez said. “If anyone is looking for a new truck — where else do you need to buy a truck? We got them all.”

At 1:30 p.m., Desert Sun awarded $5,000 to Oscar Cole, the winner of its new logo contest.

Sixty-two logo designs were voted on by customers who attended Saturday’s grand opening.

KBIM 94.9 and KZ 93 were also on hand to promote Saturday’s event. j.entzminger@roswell-record.com

More or less spending: Obama’s dilemma Mike White elected WASHINGTON (AP) — In less than three hours, the extraordinary forces tugging at Barack Obama’s presidency — and the Republicans who will soon take more control of Congress — came into sharp relief: a sky-high jobless rate, an out-of-control deficit and pressure to keep taxes down.

Together, they illustrate the difficulty of balancing immediate, costly fixes for the economy with the longterm austerity needed to control the nation’s debt. What’s more, Obama must show that his handling of those challenges has been deft enough to ear n him four more years in the White House.

To be sure, the competing demands create a conundrum for all of Washington — Democrats and Republicans alike. But it is the president who has claimed the mantle of honest broker and the price would ultimately be paid by him.

Between 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Friday, the Labor Department announced first that November’s unemployment rate climbed to 9.8 percent, then a majority of the president’s deficit commission backed tough penny-pinching measures to slash $4 trillion from the budget over the next 10 years. In between, Democrats and Republicans continued to struggle for a compromise that would extend Bush-era tax cuts.

In one bright spot, the Obama administration sealed a trade agreement Friday with South Korea, further opening the 12th-largest economy as a market to American goods.

The final deal, which eluded the president during his recent trip to Asia, is the largest since the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico negotiated under President Bill Clinton.

The competing obligations were evident even while the president attended to yet another demand — a deadlier war in Afghanistan. As news of the unemployment rate hit, Obama was in the air on a secret visit to the troops, one year after expanding the U.S. military presence there.

“Jobs and growth are our most urgent need,” Obama said, in thanking the deficit commission for its work. “But if we want an America that can compete for the jobs of tomorrow, we simply cannot allow our nation to be dragged down by our debt. We must correct our fiscal course.”

The answers to both may seem contradictory. The long-accepted

response to a recession, advocated by early 20th century British economist John Keynes, is for government to prime the economy with short-term spending that adds to the deficit. Ideally, an economic recovery then generates revenue that can offset those initial expenses.

So even as the administration welcomed the deficit commission’s work, the White House made a case that if taxes were going to remain low for even the highest-earning taxpayers, then spending to help middle income taxpayers and unemployed workers needed to be extended as well.

Obama and congressional leaders appointed a negotiating team to work out a compromise on the tax cuts.

Discussions center on whether to extend them for one to three years and whether to include unemployment assistance. Officials said the deal could also include raising the debt limit, drawing yet more attention to the nation’s borrowing.

Administration officials on Thursday presented a menu of jobless benefits and tax credits totaling $150 billion for one year. Republicans insist that any spending be offset by reductions elsewhere, a step the White House opposes.

“Republicans arguing that we should immediately pay for emergency measures like unemployment insurance but we do not need to pay for a high income tax extension does not make any policy sense,” said Austan Goolsbee, the chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

But Republicans are rejecting that response.

“To restore American exceptionalism, we must end all this Keynesian spending and get back to the practice of free market economics,” Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, a leading House Republican, said this week.

The political consequences are evident to all.

A wave of voter anger over the economy last month shifted control of the House from Democrats to Republicans and narrowed the Democratic majority in the Senate.

The restlessness in the electorate grew not only from the weak economic recovery but also from a perception that the government was spending too much and not showing results.

Both political parties immediately seized on the unemployment rate.

Republicans said it illustrated the failure of Obama’s policies, while

Democrats said it demanded greater spending to protect workers and prime the economy.

Vice President Joe Biden declared the unemployment number “disappointing” and said it underscored the need for Congress to approve an extension of unemployment insurance to jobless workers.

The unemployment setback came as the White House was trying to draw public attention to signs of economic improvement. Obama last month highlighted the resurgence of the auto industry with a trip to a Kokomo, Ind., Chrysler plant.

Administration officials also point to the ever decreasing taxpayer cost of the $700 billion financial rescue that became a public symbol of government intervention and bailouts.

Earlier this week, the independent Congressional Budget Office lowered its estimated cost of the program to only $25 billion.

But those successes, even as they mount, get trumped by lingering unemployment, the last economic indicator in a recovery to show improvement.

The task ahead is the equivalent of turning on one spigot with the left hand while turning off another with the right.

Eleven of the 18 deficit commission members backed the austere measures proposed by its two chairmen — former Clinton chief of staff Erskine Bowles and former Republican Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming. But the commission would have required 14 supporting votes to force Congress to consider the plan.

Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, a member of the commission and the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, said the pressure is now on Obama’s administration.

“They are not at the table,” he said.

“We need the administration at the table.”

At the White House, economist Goolsbee cautioned: “You want to lower the deficit in the medium and long run. That’s the deficit challenge we face. That’s totally different than saying, ’Let’s go yank the belt as tight as it will go right now.’ That would be highly detrimental.”

DEAR ABBY: We are a group of ladies in retirement in a smallish town.

One member of our group has, over the last few years, started to “put on a show” — and I mean that literally.

“Dottie” writes revues and, of course, stars in them herself.

While there’s nothing wrong with a vanity production, this woman is making herself look foolish. She is not slender (no sin), but she is also not talented.

Dottie’s friends feel she looks ridiculous singing and dancing, but no one has the nerve to tell her because she is vain and has a short temper. We can’t tell our pudgy, gray-haired friend to get off the stage, so we thought you might be just the person to save our friend’s dignity. Can you help?

DEAR IN THE WINGS: Your friend is living her dream of being in the footlights.

It is not up to you or me to “save her dignity” by bursting her bubble. If you don’t like her performance, no law says you — or anyone else — must attend her revues. And feeling as you ladies do, it might be kinder if you stayed away.

ALREADY BLESSED IN LAKE FOREST, CALIF.

DEAR ALREADY BLESSED: I say you and Kim are both right. The custom of saying “Bless you” or “God bless you” after someone sneezes did originate in the Middle Ages, when it was believed that when people sneezed, their souls left their bodies for an instant — and saying “God bless you” would prevent the devil from snatching it. And Kim is correct that the polite thing to do is to say it. If you care about her

DEAR ABBY: I have a 3-year-old, muscular male American pit bull terrier. When I walk “Petey,” I am often asked by young and old alike if they can pet my dog because of his good looks.

While Petey has never bitten anyone, I am not comfortable letting strangers pet him. The breed can be aggressive.

I always reply to these requests with a “no” and a “thank you,” after which I am invariably asked if my dog is mean. Now, if there is a possibility that a dog is mean, why would someone ask to pet him in the first place? Perhaps I’m overly sensitive, but it’s an annoying rhetorical question. Is there a nicer way to answer?

A DUTIFUL PET OWNER, GLENS FALLS, N.Y. DEAR DUTIFUL PET OWNER: An honest response would be that your dog isn’t mean, but you can’t guarantee that he won’t snap if someone he doesn’t know touches him.

Another way to say it would be, “My dog hasn’t bitten anyone ... yet.”

A mild liquid detergent and tepid water is a good, all-purpose cleaning agent, or use 48 tablespoons of nonsudsing ammonia in a quart of water, doing one small area at a time, rinsing well, then drying.

Hedgehogs have a small but committed US fan club Roswell Daily Record

Sunday, December 5, 2010

This Sunday, Oct. 4, 2009, photo shows Inky, a participant at The Rocky Mountain Hedgehog Show, in Colorado Springs, Colo. Fewer than 150,000 live hedgehogs are estimated to live in the United States, despite their well-known roles in the Beatrix Potter books, Disney-Pixar movies and Sega video games.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — There may be countless pint-sized fans of Mrs. T iggy-winkle, Mr. Pricklepants and Sonic — but that doesn’t mean there are many real hedgehogs in the home.

Fewer than 150,000 live hedgehogs are estimated to live in the United States, despite their well-known roles in the Beatrix Potter books, Disney-Pixar movies and Sega video games.

The animals weigh about a pound and are insectivores (not rodents). They prefer night to day — running four to seven miles a night on their wheels — and have a strong sense of smell, with a life span of four to six years.

“They don’t bark, meow or screech. They make 20 different sounds. The only time they make a whole lot of racket is when the males are courting the females,” said Zug G. Standing Bear, treasurer of the Coloradobased International Hedgehog Association.

But that doesn’t mean the hedgehog is a good choice as a pet. The quilly little mammal isn’t native to the United States, so it considered exotic and is illegal in California, Hawaii, Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Maine and Vermont and several cities.

In 2008, the Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning saying children under age 5 should not have exotic pets like hedgehogs because of disease risks.

Hedgehogs have passed ringworm and salmonella on to humans, said Dr. Lila Miller, vice president of the veterinary outreach for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New York, which does not believe any animal taken from the wild should be kept as a pet.

But some experts say the concerns are minimal, and hegehog fans say the animals can be good companions.

Standing Bear, 70, who runs the largest rescue in North America — the Flash and Thelma Memorial Hedgehog Rescue in Divide, Colo. — said a happy, socialized hedgehog will snuggle, put its quills down and make a chortling sound, like a cat. They have a scrub brush feel and — unlike a porcupine with its long, stiff quills that impale you if you get too close — quills that are only a half inch long and firmly attached to the body.

Standing Bear estimates there are between 100,000 and 150,000 hedgehogs in the United States, descendants of about 80,000 imported from Nigeria

between 1991 and 1994 — when imports from all African countries were banned.

Hedgehogs don’t have to constantly chew like rodents, and they are not smelly or needy for companionship, Standing Bear said. On the downside, they need warmth, have high rates of cancer and they can get a neurological disease called Wobbly Hedgehog Syndrome. Dr. Melanie Marsden at the Pike’s Peak Veterinarian Clinic in Colorado Springs, Colo., said she’s never seen anyone who’s gotten sick from their hedgehog, but any mammal, reptile or bird can have salmonella so people need to wash their hands.

Those caring for the very young and very old must be specially vigilant, she said.

“Do I worry if a hedgehog is a classroom pet? No, I don’t. These days, everyone is really good about washing their hands or using hand sanitizer,” she said.

Marsden, a native of South Dakota who went to vet school in California, didn’t see many hedgehogs before she got to Colorado.

She even had one of her own — Prickles.

“They are really fun. They are nature’s little tank, comical, with more personality than you would realize,” she said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Just why do you need a seamsealed, wicking-fabric, diamond-quilted parka if the greatest outdoor adventure of your day is making it from the car to the mall or trudging to a train or subway station?

Yes, the wind can be

awake, he tried to use his jacket as a substitute — it didn’t work. The idea for the zip-inside-itself jacket, filled with thermal, recycled-material PrimaLoft Eco inside, was bor n at that moment.

“It’s an incredible piece for business travel, too,”

Inman says. “You don’t need your jacket on the plane, but you need a pillow. When you get to your destination, you need your jacket, not a pillow anymore.”

Other amenities to thank hikers, hunters and skiers for include handwar mer pockets, cinched hoods with clear vision panels and thermal mapping to put warm and cooler spots where the body needs it.

Innovation comes from the field, explains Eddie Bauer’s Damien Huang, senior vice president of outerwear and gear. The emphasis is on function there, especially among the skiing, mountaineering and climbing “alpinists,” Huang says. His company calculates its gear is toted 2 million vertical miles on Mount Rainier each year by its guide testers. “There’s a thorough trashing of product before it goes to market.”

It’s then the job of designers, manufacturers and retailers to add the fashion element.

Eddie Bauer, for example, made its greatest mark in down feathers, when it patented quilting methods that balanced the need for performance with visual effect. Down is still its signature but, thanks to input from moder n-day backcountry enthusiasts and

modern manufacturing, the new approach uses compressible and compact light layers of down, Huang explains.

“The demands from the guides and other alpinists has always been more warm, less bulk, more versatile, and now everything in fashion is trending that way. The pieces transfer anywhere: You can wear a vest under suit jacket, stuff it into a briefcase or purse,” he says.

Those who walk against the bluster of Lake Michigan in Chicago or the teeming rain in the Pacific Northwest can face conditions that at least feel worthy of serious outerwear, adds Wisconsin-based Scott Whittingham, outerwear merchandise manager with Lands’ End. “These people want to stay protected just as much as an outdoor explorer would.”

Why wouldn’t a consumer — any consumer — choose the best weather protection available? wonders Canada Goose CEO Dani Reiss. (You’ll see South Pole scientists and Canadian Arctic Rangers wearing Canada Goose parkas.)

“Our jacket feels like the real deal, and that leaves you feeling empowered,” says Reiss. “The primary experience of our jackets is warmth.”

Outerwear for daily adventure in town and country whipping in parking lots and on platfor ms, but a jacket meant for subzero temperatures and Arctic blizzards seems a bit extreme. But what if that jacket turned into a perfect-sized commuter pillow?

He yearned for a pillow on a backpacking trip but didn’t want to carry any extra weight. As he lay

Thousands of men grow mustaches for cancer effort

CLEVELAND (AP) — The scraggly patch of blond hair on Zak MacDonald’s upper lip is a source of mockery among his co-workers in this testosterone-laden office, where the art of growing a mustache has become a full-blown competition.

Scanning the cubicles, there are several handlebars and respectably bushy mustaches.

The most prominent even rival the collage of famous ’staches displayed on the wall, including Tom Selleck’s iconic facial hair.

Much to his chagrin, though, MacDonald’s is not among them.

“As you can tell, we’re 22 days in and there’s not a whole lot happening up in the ’stache area,” he admitted, rubbing a hand over his lip. “But you know, God knows I’m trying.”

These men are among the more than 500,000 eager participants in “Movember,” which inspired men all over the world to grow mustaches last month to raise money for prostate and testicular cancer. Since it was founded by a bunch of beer -drinking Australians in 2005, Movember has raised more than $100 million, with men collecting sponsorships and earning more money as those mustaches grow.

Movember’s founders say they are shedding light on a very real health threat. While breast cancer awareness has turned half the world pink, they say, cancers targeting men are rarely talked about.

“They’re silent killers,” says Movember spokeswoman Lisa Potter.

About 32,000 men will die of prostate cancer in 2010, according to estimates by the American Cancer Society. That’s not far behind the nearly 40,000 women who will die of breast cancer this year.

It all got started when a bunch of guys were sitting around drinking beers in Australia and

The ensuing disgust from their girlfriends and coworkers prompted them to find a charitable justification for their facial hair, Potter says.

“They were kind of laughed at,” she says. “But they raised over $55,000 that year with 450 guys.”

After signing up at Movember.com, men vie for donations through their “MoSpace page,” where family and friends can track their progress and rate the merits of the mustache by perusing uploaded photos. There’s even an iPhone app, newly introduced this year.

At SparkBase, a Clevelandbased software company that processes gift and loyalty cards, there’s a “mustache station” where male employees pose for mugshots every day in front of a laptop screen. The team raised a total of $2,700. While some of the

bushier mustaches fared better than others, it’s all about selling the ’stache, says CEO Doug Hardman.

“I’ve had board members ask me if I was quitting my job to go into porn,” said Jeff Pesler, who doesn’t work for SparkBase but is a high-ranking member of the company’s Movember team. “That was probably one of the worst comments that I’ve heard. You can make fun of me all you want, call it five dollars a crack. I can take it.”

Some guys say they jumped on the Movember bandwagon because they think growing a mustache is an inherently hilarious thing to do. The mustache itself already has something of a cult following, evidenced by groups like the American Mustache Institute, a St. Louis-based nonprofit that claims it is devoted to “facial hair advocacy.” The group likes to pull stunts decry-

ing what it calls facial hair discrimination, such as saving the job of a Ruby Tuesday’s employee who was threatened with being fired for violating the company’s no facial hair policy.

“At the end of the 1970s, the mustache had fallen on very hard times,” says Aaron Perlut, who founded the group. “The only pop culture representation of the mustache for more than 20 years was the milk mustache. We found that very offensive.”

For Matt Moody, a 28-year-old lawyer in New York City, Movember is a reminder of a health scare several years ago, when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and survived after doctors removed his abdominal lymph nodes.

“When I first had to go to the hospital it was quite embarrassing,” he said. “After I started telling the story, it was easier to talk about it. My friends and I

joke about it all the time.”

The mustache is an easy icebreaker, an opening to talk about an uncomfortable subject, Moody says.

Steven Reuter, who lives in Fayetteville, Ark., hands out his Movember donation ID number to people in the office who inquire laughingly about his mustache, which has taken various forms throughout the month, including (to his wife’s horror) that of a fu manchu.

“Quite frankly, there’s a 50 percent chance that at some point, I’m affected by cancer in my life,” says Reuter, who has watched both of his grandfathers survive struggles with prostate cancer.

“In my experience, younger guys have been less likely to talk about it.”

Research on traditional gender roles suggests that men are not very good at being sick or talking about it, says Debra Swanson, a sociology professor at Hope College in Holland, Mich.

“Growing a mustache is a very sort of manly thing,” Swanson says. “So it still preserves that manly side, and yet allows them to talk about something that would be difficult otherwise.”

This weekend, the mustaches that have graced office cubicles and street corners for the past four weeks will be out in their fullest glory at giant costume galas — a last hurrah for the handlebar. As of Tuesday, the campaign had raised more than $60 million in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada combined.

“In the end, it’s very similar to a cancer walk,” says Perlut. “It’s just simply growing facial hair.

Which, studies show, improve good looks by 38 percent.”

Making room: How to help house guests feel at home

sleeping bags in nooks or low-traffic areas of the house.

It’s acceptable to ask guests to put away their bedding or close up a sleeper couch each morning, particularly if they are sleeping in a home office or other room that family members need to use, Barnett said.

“Make a rule that they make their bed or move stuff off the furniture,” she said.

If an adult is going to sleep in a child’s room, try to clear out toys and clutter, said Hoyt Dottry, president of the South Carolina Bed and Breakfast Association.

“Put away as much as possible to make it feel like a guest room,” said Dottry, owner of Walnut Lane Inn in Lyman, S.C. When furnishing a child’s room, consider how often it will double as a guest room. If a lot of company is expected, choose a double or queen-size bed for the room.

“Don’t buy bunk beds,” Barnett said.

“Nobody’s grandma wants to be climbing up a ladder to get in somebody’s bunk bed.”

Regardless of where guests are sleeping, provide them with an alarm clock and night light, added Kevin Sharkey, executive editorial director of decorating for Martha Stewart Living.

Guests also need a place to plug in cell phones and other electronic devices, he said.

Filling a basket with snacks, candy and bottled water is a nice touch, Dottry said. A guest will feel more comfortable taking something from the basket rather than going into the cupboard or fridge.

When Laura Bar nett’s daughter comes to visit, the Chicago mother has to improvise a guest room.

Barnett sets her daughter up in a corner of the living room and clears out space in the hall closet for her clothes and suitcase.

Providing space for a house guest’s things is as important as providing a place to sleep, because it will help you maintain order in the home, said Barnett, an interior designer. You have to strike a balance between “making the guest feel welcome and not making you feel like your home’s been taken over,” she said.

That’s especially true during holiday visits, when there tends to be extra clutter and activity, said Randi Destefano of Authentic Living Interiors in Atlanta.

Before guests arrive, think about where they will store their luggage, and how much space they may need for clothes and personal items.

If possible, empty a drawer or a shelf in the bathroom for guests to use during their stay, she said. Otherwise, provide a basket or plastic container in which guests can store toiletries and things they need to access throughout the day.

If your home is small or there’s not much extra storage, Destefano recommends buying an ottoman with a storage compartment.

“It’s a great place to store the bedding and pillows,” she said. “They’re available at all different price points.”

Try to locate your guest in a spot that allows some privacy, Destefano said.

She suggests placing air mattresses or

Katy Perry supreme as ‘Divas’ salutes troops AP Entertainment Writer SAN DIEGO (AP) — Katy Perry loves a man in a uniform.

The pop superstar met dozens of service members while working on the special “VH1 Divas Salute the Troops” this weekend near San Diego.

“There was a kid who I met backstage who was rather chatty, but adorable,” Perry recalled.

“He was really sweet. He was 19. He had such a good heart. He said, ’Yes, ma’am’ to me. ’Yes ma’am!’

I was like, ’O.K.! Yes, sir!”’

A VH1 publicist estimated an audience of 27,000 attended nearly three-hour taping of the concert Friday night at the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar. The show, which airs Sunday night, features a bounty of what the network has dubbed “divas” — female or female-lead musical acts, including established stars such as Heart, Paramore and Sugarland, as well as hot newcomers Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, Keri Hilson and Nicki Minaj.

But if one diva emerged supreme, it was Perry, who both opened and closed the show, and performed solo or with others on a halfdozen songs —— twice that of anyone else in the lineup.

“I really had to live up to the definition of a ’diva’ in all senses of the word,” Perry joked. “So, I had to be very difficult today, and late,” she continued, adding she was really neither and then referencing Beyonce’s song “Diva” and then losing the lyric.

“Blaaah! Obviously I’m not Beyonce,” Perry laughed.

“She is the true diva.”

Onstage, Perry pulled out the stops — and the costumes — with the opening number featuring Perry, Hilson and Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles in WAC uniforms for a cover of The Andrews Sisters’ ’40s classic “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.” Perry closed the show with her current smash “Firework,” which concluded, appropriately, with a fireworks display. For that finale, Perry wore a cherryred beaded gown with thigh-high slit that looked as if it was borrowed from Jessica Rabbit’s closet.

“You know me, I love vintage,” Perry explained. “I love pinup girls. So, I tried to recreate that. I think any Army guy has a soft spot for a girl that can be painted on their plane.”

Perry, 26, and her new husband, actor Russell Brand, will be spending their first holiday season together as husband and wife. “What do I want for Christmas? Well, I think what is appropriate now is, I hope the troops come home very safely,” she replied, then delivered a message to service members.

“Be careful out there during the holidays,” Perry told them. “Keep your Skype and your iChat on because I know some of

them are away from all their family and wives. I can understand that feeling every once in awhile because I am on the battle-

field myself, but I am just singing pop songs,” she laughed.

“But, I am away from my hubby every once in

awhile, and we use Skype and iChat and that really helps. So I just hope everybody can find a great Christmas and be blessed.”

Ailey’s ‘Revelations’ at 50: Still awe-inspiring

NEW YORK (AP) — Turning 50 is not always cause for outright celebration. Many of us are too depressed. And then that AARP card comes in the mail.

But a 50th birthday was truly an occasion for joy this week when the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater launched a season-long celebration of “Revelations,” its masterpiece, first performed a half-century ago in a one-night show at Manhattan’s 92nd St Y. And you could see that joy on the faces of the Ailey dancers — the ones who make sure it stays fresh, alive and the most beloved work of moder n dance in the world.

Joy, perhaps mixed with a bit of nervousness. The piece is usu-

ally performed to taped music, but at Wednesday’s City Center gala, its famous spirituals were performed live by Sweet Honey in the Rock, the Grammy-winning, all-female ensemble. The presence of live accompaniment was exciting and fresh, but also probably a bit unnerving for the dancers, especially at moments when the tempo or key seemed to waver from the norm.

Yet “Revelations” could be performed in a driving snowstorm and still transmit its power, beauty, cultural resonance and infectious energy. It was especially moving to see a new short film explaining the social context of the work — which chronicles the African-American experience

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult JACQUELINE

BIGAR ARIES (March 21-April 19) Let your intellect blend with your imagination.

Take the lead role in a conversation or on a project.

YOUR HOROSCOPE Though you might be jolted by some realization, you need to know the complete picture. Tonight: Count on a late one, as you mull over the day’s happenings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You can be found deep in thought. Know that this act of reflection is the smart move as you decide what you want and the appropriate action to take. Tonight: Let your mind wander while listening to great music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others want to steer, and you won’t even have the luxury of being a backseat driver. Though you might bend for a while, know that this implicit demand is not reasonable. When waters seem smoother, be willing to step in and change course. Tonight: Share with a pal.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be one of the foot soldiers today. You perform many necessary tasks

through such songs as “I Been ’Buked,” “Fix Me, Jesus,” “Wade in the Water” and the joyous, rollicking “Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham” — and showing Ailey himself dancing it, muscles rippling, his very intensity seeming to jump off the screen.

This Ailey season is important for another reason than the “Revelations” birthday: It is the last for Judith Jamison, the artistic director who took over after Ailey’s death in 1989. This iconic dancer, who made her mark in Ailey’s searing “Cry,” was honored at the White House earlier this year and will be the subject of a final farewell show on Jan. 2. (After that, the “Revelations” birthday tour hits the heartland,

covering 24 cities by late May.) Wednesday’s gala was also an opportunity to present Jamison’s successor: choreographer Robert Battle, who promptly charmed the audience. Opinions were a bit more varied on “The Hunt,” his own 2001 work that had its Ailey premiere.

A piece for six men, barechested and in long black skirts, it effectively showcased the athleticism of some of the company’s most accomplished male dancers, including the wonderful Matthew Rushing. They leaped and turned to the rhythms of Les Tambous du Bronx, a French percussion group, and while their movements were absorbing, one wished they had built to

at home and/or at work to keep life moving in the right way. If you decide this course of action doesn’t really work, take your time expressing that thought, or just wait.

Tonight: Let a loved one vent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Tap into your renowned innovative style. You’ll come up with answers much quicker than you anticipated. You find solutions today but act tomorrow. Don’t run matters to a speedy conclusion.

Remember, there could be a glitch on the way. Tonight: Take some much-needed time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your innate resourcefulness could be tested. Where you thought you had answers and could get results, you discover otherwise.

Take your time. If you’re not feeling 100 percent, slow down. You easily could make an error. Tonight: Acting like it is the weekend!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Keep a discussion moving. Yes, you might not want to hear someone’s opinions, but trust that you need to. Schedule meetings and return calls. Your efficiency will be tested soon enough.

Use care while driving later today. Tonight: Isn’t it time to do nothing?

Mongolian activist’s son: R OSWELL D AILY R ECORD China police took mother

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese police detained the wife of the co-founder of a Mongolian separatist movement and raided the family bookstore just days before the activist is to be released from 15 years in prison, his son said Saturday.

Unrest among ethnic Mongolians in China is not as well known as that among ethnic T ibetans and Uighurs, but the scheduled release next Thursday of Hada, who like many ethnic Mongolians uses just one name, has brought a round of complaints about police harassment.

Hada helped found the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance, seeking to establish an independent nation in China’s Inner Mongolia region.

Hada’s bookstore in the Inner Mongolia capital of Hohhot became the center of the movement, and more than 200 people demonstrated in front of the store on Dec. 30, 1995, singing and holding up images of Genghis Khan, the legendary 13th-century Mongolian conqueror.

Hada was sentenced to prison the next year after being accused of separatism and spying.

In the month leading up to Hada’s scheduled release, his family has said they have not been able to contact him as before.

Just before noon Friday, more than 10 police officers raided the bookstore, confiscating the account book and computer, Hada’s son Wei Lesi told The Associated Press by telephone Saturday.

He said police also detained Hada’s wife, Xinna, who has been outspoken

about her husband’s treatment.

“I was surprised and very angry,” Wei said.

Xinna has also spoken publicly in support of Charter 08, a statement coauthored by imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo demanding more freedoms in China. Dozens of activists in China have reported greater police pressure in the weeks leading up to the Nobel ceremony for Liu next Friday.

Police in Hohhot’s Saihan district, which carried out the raid, did not comment.

“People often hear how miserable people were during the Cultural Revolution and how bloody it was at Tiananmen Square, but the things that happened yesterday make me feel that after 30 years of reform and opening up, law and human rights in today’s China are still wantonly trampled by those barbarian and lawless law enforcers,” Wei said in a letter addressed to Zhou Yongkang, secretary of the ruling Communist Party’s political and legislative affairs committee. Wei sent a copy of the letter to the AP. “I hope you can bring these evil law enforcers to justice and let us enjoy a hard-won family reunion after 15 years,” Wei’s letter said.

The U.S.-based Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center has said another Mongolian activist, writer Govruud Huuchinhuu, was detained last month and put under house arrest for trying to organize a rally to welcome Hada’s release.
