Gov vetoes tax hike

President Obama speaks to the press, Friday night.

SANTA FE (AP) — Republican Gov. Susana Martinez torpedoed a $128 million tax increase on businesses Friday but allowed reductions in unemployment benefits to go into law.

In wrapping up work on bills passed by the Legislature, Martinez used lineitem veto powers to reject the tax increase but preserve nearly $80 million in benefit reductions in a measure to shore up the finances of the unemployment compensation program. With no action by the state, the fund was projected to run out of money early next year.

The gover nor’s action came under sharp criticism

WASHINGTON (AP) — Perilously close to a government shutdown, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders forged agreement late Friday night on a deal to cut about $38 billion in federal spending and avert the first closure in 15 years.

Obama hailed the deal, a bit more than an hour before a midnight deadline, as “the biggest annual spending cut in history,” and House Speaker John Boehner said that over the next decade it would cut government spending by $500 billion.

“This is historic, what we’ve done,” said the third man in the talks, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

They announced the agreement less than an hour before government funding was due to run out.

The shutdown would have closed national parks, tax-season help lines and other popular services, though the military would have stayed on duty and other essential efforts such as air traffic control would have continued in effect.

On side issues — “riders,” the negotiators called them — the Democrats and the White House rebuffed numerous Republican attempts to curtail the reach of the Environmental Protection Agency and sidetracked their demand to deny federal funds to Planned Parenthood.

Racing to beat the deadline, lawmakers worked to pass an interim measure to prevent a shutdown, however brief, and keep the federal machinery running for the next several days.

The Senate acted within minutes, and House members were called into session to follow suit as midnight neared.

The deal came together after six grueling weeks and an outbreak of budget brinksmanship over the past few days as the two sides sought to squeeze every drop of advantage in private talks.

Two homes were damaged after a fire broke out Friday afternoon in the 200 block of East Lewis Street. Fire officials were investigating the cause of the blaze, which quickly entered the attic of one of the homes.

State lawmakers were adding fuel to the anxiety of local and neighboring county, city and village officials Friday, regarding the potential for a local species of lizard being added to the federal government’s endangered species list.

The elected of ficials spoke during the Southeastern New Mexico Economic Development District and Council of Gover nments’ board of directors quarterly meeting.

Dr. Richard Adams recalls the ‘Dark Ages’ of OB-GYN — the ’60s EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Richard Adams, M.D., of Lincoln, has delivered more than 10,000 babies in his career as an OB-GYN. The 73-year-old doctor retired from Carlsbad Medical Center in the spring of 2008.

Adams recalls that his team of two inter ns and four residents delivered between 30 and 40 babies a day at Los Angeles County Hospital in California, where he completed his four-year residency in 1970.

“This is a very busy service,” he chuckled.

The Oak Forest, Ill.- native received his first medical training as a hospital corpsman in the Navy from 1955 to 1958. He delivered his first baby four years later, in 1962, while attending medical school at the University of Southern California.

He calls his formative years as a doctor the “Dark Ages” of obstetrics and gynecology.

“At that time, we didn’t have ultrasounds; we didn’t have fetal monitors. To listen to a baby’s heartbeat, we used what we call a fetoscope. I don’t think residents

today even know what it is.”

Real changes in technique and technology were ushered in later on, he says, with the invention of the fetal heart monitor in 1958 and laparoscopic, or minimally invasive, surgery in late 1960s. The fetal monitor detects subtle changes in a baby’s heart rate that weren’t immediately apparent with a stethoscope, he says.

“When I was in training, if the baby’s heartbeat dropped down, we’d go rushing off to the operating room and do a C-section, because we think the baby’s in distress.

We’d get the baby out — it’s screaming, beautiful, and we’d say, ‘We saved another one.’ But down the hallway, another baby just died in utero because we weren’t picking up the subtle changes.”

Looking back on his training days in Los Angeles, he says he would frequently deliver multiple babies from the same mother.

“It’s rare for me, in the latter part of my career, to see a woman having even a third baby. See a fourth or fifth baby? That’s really unusual, whereas when I was in training in LA County, it wasn’t uncommon to deliver a fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth or ninth baby.”

Syrian protests turn deadly; 32 reported killed

BEIRUT (AP) — Mass protests calling for sweeping changes in Syria’s authoritarian regime turned deadly Friday, with the government and protesters both claiming heavy casualties as the country’s three-week uprising entered a dangerous new phase.

The bloodiest clashes occurred in the restive city of Daraa, where human rights activists and witnesses said Syrian security forces opened fire on tens of thousands of protesters, killing 25 people and wounding hundreds.

At the same time, staterun TV said 19 policemen and members of the security forces were killed when gunmen opened fire on them. It was the first significant claim of casualties by

the Syrian gover nment, which has contended that armed gangs rather than true refor m-seekers are behind the unrest — and it could signal plans for a stepped-up retaliation.

The protests were in response to calls by organizers to take to the streets every Friday to demand change in one of the most rigid nations in the Middle East. Marches were held in cities across the country as the movement showed no sign of letting up, despite the violent crackdowns.

At least 32 protesters were killed nationwide, according to human rights activists. The bloodshed lifted the death toll from three weeks of protests to more than 170 people, according to Amnesty International.

U.S. President Barack Obama in a statement Friday night condemned the violence and called on Syrian authorities to refrain from attacks on peaceful protesters.

“Furthermore, the arbitrary arrests, detention, and torture of prisoners that has been reported must end now, and the free flow of information must be permitted so that there can be independent verification of events on the ground,” he said.

The calls for reform have shaken the regime of President Bashar Assad, whose family has ruled Syria for more than 40 years. Assad, a British-trained eye doctor, inherited power from his father 11 years ago and tried to help the country emerge from years of inter-

national isolation and lift Soviet-style economic restrictions.

But despite early promises of social and political change, Assad has slipped back into the autocratic ways of his father.

As the wave of protests have gathered steam, Assad has of fered some limited concessions — firing local officials and forming committees to look into replacing the country’s despised emergency laws, which allow the regime to arrest people without charge. On Thursday, he granted citizenship to thousands of Kurds, fulfilling a decades-old demand of the country’s long-ostracized minority.

But those gestures have failed to mollify a growing movement that is raising the ceiling on its demands for concrete reforms and free elections.

“The protests are about Syrians wanting freedom after 42 years of repression,” said Murhaf Jouejati, a Syria expert at George Washington University.

“Mr. Assad may fire all the people he wants, this still doesn’t touch on the basic issues and the basic demands of the protesters.”

Witness accounts out of Syria could not be indeconfir med pendently because the regime has restricted media access to the country, refusing to grant visas to journalists and detaining or expelling reporters already in the country. Daraa has largely been sealed off and telephone calls go through only sporadically.

But residents, who spoke to The Associated Press independently of each other, said mosques were

turned into makeshift hospitals to help tend to hundreds of wounded.

One man who helped ferry the dead and wounded to the city’s hospital said he counted at least 13 corpses.

A nurse at the hospital said they had run out of beds; many people were being treated on the floor or in nearby mosques.

Videos posted on YouTube showed demonstrations in at least 15 towns, large and small, across the country. The videos could not be independently confirmed, but they appeared to show the most widespread gatherings since protests began.

Ammar Qurabi, who heads Syria’s National Organization for Human Rights, said 32 people were killed nationwide: 25 in Daraa, three in the central city of Homs, three in the Damascus suburb of Harasta and one in the suburb of Douma.

Douma has become a flashpoint after eight people were shot dead there last

Friday.

One activist said tens of thousands protested and dispersed peacefully in the early afternoon, but he saw security forces open fire later in the evening as a group tried to enter Douma. He said he saw security forces taking a body away.

Protests were also reported in Latakia, which has a potentially volatile mix of different religious groups.

The city has seen violence in recent weeks, and some fear it could take on a dangerous sectarian tone in Latakia.

Syria had appeared immune to the unrest sweeping the Arab world until three weeks ago, when security forces arrested a group of high school students who scrawled anti-government graffiti on a wall in Daraa.

Protests then exploded in cities across the country.

A city of about 300,000 near the border with Jordan, Daraa is suf fering sustained economic effects from a yearslong drought.

Nathanial Mascarenas, 25, was apprehended Thursday evening after the Roswell Police Department received a call about a suspicious subject. Officers tracked him from 2725 N. Pennsylvania Ave., to Dollar General, 2712 N. Main St., where he was arrested without incident.

Mascarenas was wanted in connection with the series of thefts at the Just Chillin’ Ice and Water, located in the Roswell Mall parking lot.

He is charged with one count of larceny over $250, and three counts of larceny less then $250, the possession of burglary tools, tampering with evidence and criminal damage.

Just Chillin’ had been the victim of several thefts starting in November when RPD responded to a call about a male subject removing two Defender Digital Security cameras, valued at $250, from the top of the building.

DeAnn asked: I am trying to convince my parents to move into a retirement facility, before they wear themselves out trying to keep up with the maintenance on their house and the yard. How would you suggest I make a better case for the move? They are 83 and 81 and I see the effects of the work on both of them?

Dear DeAnn Most of the time they realize they are not going to be able to do the upkeep much longer at their ages. Having said that, sharing that with you is a whole different scenario, they do not want you to worry and they are very private about their personal business which leaves you at a disadvantage.

Just tell them you have noticed how tired they are and suggest they look into moving into a Retirement Center and relaxing so you can have them with you longer. It is important to let them know you only want what is best for them and that you love them and want them to enjoy their life. Make yourself available to help them research the different places, call and get brochures sent, but only after discussing it with them. Always let them know it is their decision all you want is to help in any way you can.

After you receive information make appointments to tour the facility and if at all possible have lunch so you will know the quality of the food. If you need further assistance I can recommend places they would enjoy. Good luck, if I can provide further assistance contact me again.

On Feb. 22, the suspect was again caught on camera before he removed three surveillance cameras, with a total value of $450.

The final incident occurred on March 3, when the suspect removed another Defender camera, breaking a clamp in the process, for a total of six cameras in three months’ time.

In all but one of the incidents, video footage was obtained.

The video footage was released to the Daily Record and published in Roswell’s Most Wanted on March 8.

By March 12, investigators received a tip which placed Mascarenas at a Roswell motel.

Of ficers went to the motel and found Mascarenas hiding in the shower. He was positively identified by his tattoos, which appeared on surveillance footage.

He was arrested on unrelated, outstanding warrants.

According to the criminal complaint, after receiving the Miranda warning, Mascarenas was advised that he had been caught on camera. He admitted that he had removed one camera and used its parts to try to catch someone who had been stealing his property.

He made bond on the outstanding municipal charges.

Mascarenas is currently being held at Chaves County Detention Center.

Bond is set at $10,000 cash surety. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

Veto

from a Democratic legislator, who wants the veto challenged in court.

“That’s an illegal action,” said Rep. Mimi Stewart of Albuquerque.

Under the state constitution, the gover nor can make line-item vetoes only in appropriations bills.

The governor defended her veto at a news conference, saying an unemployment fix could be considered during a special session of the Legislature, which is expected this fall to deal with redistricting.

“We’re going to have time to fix it without raising taxes on businesses right now,” Martinez said.

The tax increase would have taken effect in January, but the reduction in benefits can be implemented starting in July.

The changes in law will eliminate benefits for most unemployed individuals who are attending school full time and reduce supplemental payments that jobless workers receive for their dependents. Those steps will save about $13 million. The legislation also stops the state from offering extended unemployment benefits unless the federal government picks up the full cost. That provision accounts for most of the projected $80 million in savings.

State law automatically sets employer contributions at rates adequate to ensure there’s enough money in

Adams has delivered two sets of triplets in his career and many sets of twins, but in the early days before ultrasound, he says there was no way to know if the mother were pregnant with twins.

“The only way we’d find out is if the mother got huge,” he joked.

Adams has also been at the forefront of changes in delivery room etiquette. In California, he says it was popular at one time to have eight to 12 relatives and friends of the mother in the delivery room, watching the birthing process as if it were a theatre show. That trend was after 1969, because when Adams’ first child was born, he was not allowed into the delivery room.

“Up ’till about ’71 or ’72, dads werent allowed in the room in most hospitals,” he said. “The reason for that

the fund to cover claims.

However, the Legislature circumvented that system several years ago by locking in low rates through 2010.

The Legislature then raised unemployment taxes by about $20 million to replenish the fund and put those in place through this year.

The provision vetoed by Martinez would have increased average tax payments by a business for each of its employees by about $370 during 2012.

That’s a jump of $155, or about 72 percent. Rates vary for businesses depending on their history of unemployment claims.

Stewart contends that businesses face the prospect of a big tax increase — potentially twice as large as the one vetoed by the governor — if the automatic rate adjustment goes back into effect and the unemployment fund is nearly out of money.

“By doing this particular illegal action, she has forced businesses to go to the highest level of taxation to save this unemployment insurance fund,” Stewart said of the governor.

But Martinez disagreed.

“This claim is false and is unfortunately being used as a fear tactic to garner support for this bill,” the governor said in her veto message.

Friday was the deadline for the governor to act on bills that passed during the Legislature’s 60-day session, which ended nearly three weeks ago. a similar meeting is planned to be hosted in Midland on April 27.

“The dunes sagebrush lizard faces immediate and significant threats due to oil and gas activities and herbicide treatments,” reads the announcement. “The species is highly restricted in its range and the threats occur throughout its range.

“Habitat loss and fragmentation due to oil and gas development is a measurable factor impacting the species due I’m sure is that somewhere in the world, some father had popped an OB doctor during the delivery, and that word went around the world.”

Adams opened a private practice in 1970 in Santa Rosa, something he says is difficult for doctors today.

His medical malpractice insurance was about $21,000 a year compared to the $40,000 to $70,000 it would likely cost today.

He also received $10,000 in start-up money from a local bank. H says it would cost about $100,000 to start up the same practice in Santa Rosa today.

Adams stayed at his practice for 24 years before moving to Carlsbad in 1994, where he was recruited by the Carlsbad Medical Center.

He began working for the Medical Center in 1999, and has delivered babies at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center and other facilites in Las Cruces and Taos.

Among the vetoes on Friday were bills to: •Establish an insurance exchange for individuals and small businesses to buy health insurance.

•Require motorists to stay at least 5 feet away from bicyclists when passing them on a road or highway.

•Remove the gover nor from the State Investment Council, which manages state per manent funds.

Supporters said the change would lessen the potential influence of politics on investment decisions. Martinez objected that the bill would have left two other elected officials, the state treasurer and land commissioner, on the council.

•Provide an option for nonviolent drug possession offenders to receive treatment rather than jail time.

Among the bills Martinez signed: •Restaurants can allow customers to have their dogs on leashes in designated outdoor areas.

•Grant New Mexico hunters a larger share of licenses to hunt elk and other big game on public lands.

•Prohibit the state’s child welfare agency from having staff or volunteers handle allegations of child abuse and neglect if they’ve ever been investigated for abusing a child and had the case against them substantiated. The measure also streamlines the processing for firing an agency worker who is found to have abused a child. to the removal of shinnery oak and creation of roads and pads, pipelines and power lines,” it reads.

The message from lawmakers was not lost on the meeting’s attendees.

Martinez signs budget SANTA FE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez signed into law on Friday a package of financial measures, including a budget allocating $5.4 billion next year for public education and general government programs.

The budget, as signed, will cut state spending by nearly 3 percent, or $156 million, in the fiscal year that starts July 1.

The governor used her line-item veto powers to trim about $1.9 million from yearly operations of government and $2.6 million in one-time spending items. The gover nor’s included reductions $100,000 that lawmakers had provided for a committee to handle redistricting, $50,000 for presession expenses before next year’s 30-day legislative session, $200,000 for state centennial activities next year, $250,000 for the Administrative Office of the Courts to avoid furloughs or layof fs in courts, $450,000 for the Commission on the Status of Women and $349,300 for operating the African American performing arts center and exhibit hall at the state air.

“I am proud to sign a budget that cuts government spending while preserving classroom funding and health care for the most vulnerable New Mexicans,” Martinez said in a statement.

Also signed were other measures critical for balancing the budget. One bill will limit film production tax rebates to $50 million a year, which frees up an estimated $23 million that was used in the budget to pay for programs. The governor said the subsidy cap was “the key to protecting our core priorities” in the budget.

The legislation allows dogs in certain designated outdoor dining areas in New Mexico. and college faculty to pay an additional 1.75 percent of their salaries into their pensions next year, saving the state almost $50 million. A similar 1.5 percent pension swap was enacted in 2009 and that’s continued for another year, saving nearly $43 million. The measure saves $18 million by postponing pension contribution increases the government was to make under a 2005 law to improve the solvency of an educational retirement program.

Lawmakers contended that the pension changes were less drastic than worker layof fs or furloughs. The higher pension contributions do not apply to workers earning less than $20,000 a year.

For a teacher earning an average of $40,000, the 1.5 percent pension contribution swap has lowered their take-home pay by about $650 a year.

According to lawmakers, a reduction in the federal Social Security withholding tax this year will help offset the 1.75 percent contribution increase for workers.

“This budget makes great progress toward making necessary cuts to the size of government, but it is not perfect,” Martinez said. “While all New Mexicans have been

forced to tighten their belts, the Legislature refused to cut a single penny of their own budget. As we move forward, I hope they will join me in leading the way in cutting unnecessary spending.”

A bill to finance the Legislature was enacted during the 60-day session. The budget for yearround operations of the Legislature next year is 0.8 percent higher than this year’s spending.

Senate President Pro Tem T im Jennings, DRoswell, dismissed the governor’s criticisms and said the Legislature had maintained a lean budget for its operations.

“She’s just making political hay out of that,” said Jennings.

He said executive branch agencies had more room for spending cuts because their budgets were “always porked up a lot” during former Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration.

The vetoed money for the redistricting committee, Jennings said, will limit the ability of lawmakers to hold hearings around the state on proposals for changing the boundaries of legislative and congressional districts.

Xcel looks for outage cause

CARLSBAD (AP) — Xcel Energy crews are looking for the cause of a power outage that hit Carlsbad, Hobbs and Lovington late Thursday night.

Xcel Energy spokesman Wes Reeves told The Associated Press about 8,000 cus-

tomers were affected after a transmission line failed in southeast New Mexico.

Power went out just before 10:30 p.m. and was back online about 48 minutes later when crews performed some power line switching.

OPINION

Mining is nearly everywhere in New Mexico

The state’s roughly 240 “active registered” mines, 83 percent of them producing aggregate and stone, employed 5,156 people in 2009, paid them $287 million, and produced minerals worth about $1.8 billion — good for a ranking of 20th nationally without counting oil and gas.

The big value numbers come from coal ($736 million in 2009), potash ($491 million), and copper ($290 million and hiring again).

Except for potash and salt mines around Carlsbad, the mines are located in the southwest quadrant and in a broad and mostly rural northern arc that starts at Raton, swings south to include Belen and Albuquerque, edges north and west to Grants and then goes to Arizona.

Finding information about mining in New Mexico in one place, coherently presented, isn’t easy.

The good stuff here comes from a PowerPoint presentation (yes, a

useful PowerPoint!) titled “Mining Issues Facing New Mexico” and summarizing the state’s wealth of mineral resources.

Virginia T. “Ginger” McLemore put the presentation together a few months ago for the Leadership New Mexico civic training group. McLemore is a kid from blue collar Baltimore who fell in love with Earth science in the fifth grade and grew up to be senior economic geologist and minerals outreach liaison for the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources in Socorro.

An economic geologist, McLemore explains, is one who

Roswell Daily Record

considers a mineral deposit within the framework of whether enough ore exists to make a mine. Is the deposit “economic”?

That’s the question.

Some might wonder about the idea of a minerals outreach liaison. For McLemore, the need is obvious. “People need to know where their world comes from in order to have an understanding,” she says.

Mining issues start with the geology being in control. The big picture issue is that minerals “are needed to maintain our standard of living, even for green technologies, like solar, wind,” the presentation says. But “legacy issues of past mining activities form negative public perceptions of mining.” These perceptions of the past are partly balanced by mining being done differently today than 20 years ago.

With just two copper mines, Chino and Tyrone near Silver

City, New Mexico was the nation’s number three producer in 2009.

The mines are beautiful, largescale earth sculptures. The state has seven other potential copper deposits, including the Copper Flat property, mined briefly about 25 years ago.

Gold and silver production has been tracked since 1804. Three of the seven gold and silver deposits are in Santa Fe County.

Potash output from around Carlsbad made New Mexico the nation’s leader in 2009. A principal use of potash is in fertilizers.

All sorts of industrial minerals come from New Mexico. We are first in zeolites, fifth in pumice, first in perlite, 13th in gypsum and 11th in salt.

A clever slide in the presentation shows a Prius and points to the minerals needed in the battery, glass, the LCD screen, the component sensors and the like.

Another slide points out that New

Mexico has minerals needed in green technologies such as solar panels, wind turbines and batteries.

The 17 “rare earth” elements are found across the state. The elements are used in products such as batteries, superconductors and lasers. China produces 97 percent of the rare earth elements.

Uranium is New Mexico’s biggest present potential.

World Opinion Libyan regime change

The debate about whether defecting members of the Gadhafi regime should face prosecution for their crimes, or whether they could be given a safe haven somewhere, risks confusing ends and means.

Our end is that there should be a different, more democratic regime in Libya. How we get to that point is less important than that the aim should be achieved.

There is talk of Western special services training Libyans to lead the push against Moammar Gadhafi. His removal would transform the situation but is easier said than done. A more honorable and desirable outcome is that the rebels should simply defeat the army loyal to the government. That still seems far from certain: despite some signs of training from Western forces, the rebels remain a largely chaotic force.

The third option, which is now realistic given the defection of members of Gadhafi’s inner circle, is to wait for the regime to implode from within. If it does, there could be realistic peace talks under the aegis of a third party. These could lead to a peaceful transition to some sort of democracy, possibly at the price of allowing the Gadhafi family safe passage abroad.

Our political leaders should be thinking hard about what we can do to help achieve stability as well as democracy in a post-Gadhafi Libya.

New U.S. view of Canada’s ‘dirty oil’

It would appear U.S. President Barack Obama has decided Canada’s “dirty oil” isn’t quite so “dirty” after all.

We knew this would happen.

It usually does when politically-motivated environmentalism runs into a brick wall called reality.

There’s even an equation for it: Oilsands + eco-hyperbole (equals) tarsands; Mideast crisis + Venezuelan ... other options (equals) Alberta oil.

While we admit this equation is rather crude, so is the end product the U.S. so drastically needs, even as it tries to reduce its dependence on oil imports as the Middle East and northern Africa goes through its various revolutions, and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez continues to play Crazy 8s.

Increasingly high prices for gas at the pumps — which is still less than in Canada, thanks to our tax-on-tax fuel gouge — naturally has Americans demanding action from their president.

And so where has Obama turned?

Well, he turned south to Mexico, its No. 2 supplier, and then he turned north to Canada, its No. 1 supplier — all to lessen his need to import oil from such venues as Saudi Arabia, No. 3, Venezuela, No. 5, and Iraq, No. 8.

So suddenly, at least in the eyes of Obama, the oilsands no longer look quite as “dirty” as they did when oil prices were lower and the Arab world was being nicely run by despots.

A better way to reform welfare system ED FEULNER THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

When President Clinton signed landmark welfarereform legislation in 1996, he said it would “end welfare as we know it.” Wrong verb. More accurately, it changed welfare as we know it.

That’s not to say the reform wasn’t a success. It was.

Stuttering affects approximately 68 million people worldwide. There are more than 3 million sufferers in the United States. Men are affected four times more frequently than women. About 5 percent of all children will experience stuttering that lasts for six or more months. Of that, nearly 4 percent resolve by late childhood.

Small wonder that some lawmakers are mounting a new reform effort. Even if they simply capped welfare spending at pre-recession levels (and they need to do much more), we’re still talking about $16,800 per poor person on benefits.

This is about more than just money, though. Even if all this welfare spending were affordable, we’d still be doing those in poverty no favors.

children. Families with high expectations and fast-paced lifestyles can also contribute to stuttering. Recent research has also shown that those who stutter process speech and language slightly differently than those with otherwise normal speech. Stuttering may also be the result of a combination of factors, and the cause may not be the same for everyone. It’s likely that the starting cause is different from the cause of prolonged or worsening stuttering.

Emotional and psychological problems are no more likely in those who stutter than those who don’t, so they are not believed to be a cause.

Learning what the creator wants

Dear Editor: I enjoyed seeing the Burleson and Grant letters on evolution and creation. I thought of Antony Flew, the highly respected British philosopher and atheist who shocked many in 2004 when he announced that he had changed his viewpoint. What made him change his mind?

He became convinced that the universe, the laws of nature, and life itself could not have arisen merely by chance.

He said “The important point is not merely that there are regularities in nature,” wrote Flew in 2007, “but that these regularities are mathematically precise, universal, and tied together. Einstein spoke of them as ‘reason incarnate.’ The question we should ask is how nature came packaged in this fashion. This is certainly the question that scientists from Newton to Einstein to Heisenberg have asked — and answered. Their answer was the Mind of God.” So here we are. What if someone like Burleson actually changed his mind (highly unlikely) and believed in a creator.

Now what? Where would anyone go to find out who the Creator is? Well we have the Bible and it’s clear the Bible is inspired of God. It tells us how we got here, how to deal with the problems we have, what we need to be doing and how to prepare for a wonderful future. Its prophecies are accurate, its counsel perfect. But who can explain it to us? We know God dealt with the Jewish nation and then Jesus began the Christian con-

stamp aid goes to individuals who have received aid for 8.5 years or more.

They’re caught in a cycle of dependency. If they haven’t broken free after all that time, when, under current conditions, will they ever achieve independence?

We see the same dynamic at work here that we see in education: Affordability aside, simply spending more money isn’t the answer. Otherwise, the public schools in the District of Columbia would lead the nation in

academic achievement (rather than come in last), and we would have won the War on Poverty long ago.

It’s time to apply the ’96 model more widely. That’s why Rep. Jim Jordan, ROhio, advocates linking food stamps to work — those receiving it should either have a job or be actively seeking one. “The aim of welfare should be to help people reach the point where they no longer need it,” Jordan says.

gregation. Today, though, there are thousands and thousands of religions and churches. Who should I go to then?

Should I go to the religions whose priests abused children, or that send their members off to killing wars and attack countries that didn’t attack them or that helped Hitler kill 6 million Jews or that took the name of the Creator out of his own book the Bible, or that teach that the Creator tortures people forever, or that used to torture and kill people for translating the Bible into their language, or tortured those who taught that the Earth revolved around the sun, or that teach you to strap a bomb to your chest and blow up as many people as possible?

How about to the Westboro Baptist Church that teaches the “God loves dead soldiers” and “God loves 9-11” and “You’re going to burn in hell”? Do you think that they can explain to me who God is and what the Bible says? I guess you see my point. People are finding that they can’t believe in evolution and they can’t believe in religion. My friend’s church even says evolution is true! Truly the “blind leading the blind.”

I finally had to find a teacher to come to my house for free and study the Bible with me, a subject at a time. After a few weeks I began to see things pretty clearly.

Now I understand who the Creator is and what I need to do. I know that a lot of people would rather not know and I can hardly blame them.

Stuttering is treatable and gaining near -normal or normal fluency takes time. There is no cure. In general, results are better and appear faster the earlier treatment is begun. For very young children, this may even prevent developmental stuttering from becoming a lifelong issue.

Treatment can vary from person to person and between children, teens and adults. Speech therapists and pathologists are often the first and best option for treatment. They can tailor care and find the therapies that work best for each person.

There is no approved medication for stuttering, but some drugs, such as those for depression, epilepsy and anxiety, have been used; however, studies have concluded that they are largely ineffective. Clinical trials using other medications are currently being conducted.

There are several types of electronic devices; however, they do not work for everyone. Long-term effectiveness is not known, and real-world effectiveness is questionable.

A final option is self-help groups.

Many sufferers have found that therapy and self-help/study help are the most beneficial. Self-help groups also act as a support system where people can come together and learn from each other, find new information, and develop mutual friendships with others who understand the daily stresses, difficulties and challenges of dealing with stuttering. Support groups in general can be extremely helpful to sufferers of any disorder, regardless of what it may be.

We can’t solve our fiscal crisis if we ignore it. And we can’t truly help those on welfare if we don’t fix it so that it is, in fact, a hand up — and not a handout.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I suffered vertigo misery for more than 20 years. I had brain scans and more that showed no pathology. Luckily, a referral from a local neurologist sent me to a physical therapist experienced in performing the Epley maneuvers. I had amazing results from the repositioning of debris in the inner ear. Between sessions, I wear a “Sea-band” elastic bracelet for any dizziness. Low-salt, low-alcohol, low-caffeine diets can also help tremendously.

DEAR READER: Vertigo is a common complaint among my readers and one of the most difficult to treat because it is often caused by benign or unknown conditions. The Epley maneuvers, as you have experienced, are designed to reposition debris to a location within the ear that does not cause the spinning, dizzy sensation of vertigo. These often have to be done on a regular basis to maintain results. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Norris wrong about education

Dear Editors: With regard to Chuck Norris’ article in the March 18 edition of the RDR, there are obviously some schools that have serious problems and there are some teachers who should find a different way to pay their bills. But make no mistake, Chuck Norris and his ghost writers are clearly much more part of the problem than they are the solution. They appear to be advocating the type of high quality education that is currently “enjoyed” by the students in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The title of the article (“Progressive indoctrination camps – part two”) highlights both his bias and the contradictions inherent in his logic (or lack thereof). According to my dictionary, the word “indoctrinate” means “to teach or inculcate” or “to imbue with learning.” Is that such a bad thing?

Of course, the reason he uses the word is because it also dredges up images of Communist “indoctrination camps” of the Cold-War era, as if “progressives” had a manifesto they chanted over during some secret meeting. Also, as some tend to do, he tries to use the words “liberal” and “progressive” as if they were hot tar brushes, preparing the body of the hated “other” to receive a feather for every transgression, real or imagined, they believe has been committed against them over the past 50 years.

Perhaps by accident, Norris actually presents some good advice for parents about how to get involved in their children’s education, but he loses credibility toward the end of that advice by disclosing his own preferred method of “indoctrination.” Another definition of the word is, “to instruct in a doctrine or ideology” which is precisely what Norris introduces, by endorsing a “Bible curriculum.” So, he isn’t so much against indoctrination per se ... just against indoctrination toward progressivism. By their actions, Norris and his handlers are contributing to the decline of American exceptionalism addressed by Jay Miller on the same page of the paper.

And just what is this hated “biased programming” that we unpatriotic, progressive “liberals” want? We want our students to think critically about all sides of an issue and we want our students to view evidence from a nonjudgmental perspective before drawing conclusions. In short, we want students to look at facts, without pressure from some “doctrine or ideology” before settling on the “truth.” Or at least, that is what we chanted over our manifesto at the last secret meeting.

Tougher penalties needed

Dear Editor: Dear Senator: I’m mad as hell! How many people have to die on our roads before we put some real teeth into our DUI laws? Or is it the judges, giving them a slap on the wrist and telling them, “now don’t you do that again”?

DUI: first offense, 30 days in jail, $300 fine; second offense, six months in jail, $2,000 fine; and if they kill anyone drunk driving, it should be vehicular manslaughter, with 25 to life!

Sex offenders: Pedophiles should be permanently incarcerated. They do not rehabilitate. If they manage to kill a child during their crimes, it should be the death penalty.

Rapists: if their victims are adults, no matter what their walk of life, it should be treated like any other violent crime.

They should get 10 years for the first offense, and 25 to life for any subsequent offense.

My husband and I are not the only New Mexicans who feel this way. Just ask the families of victims how they feel about this.

In God We Trust

Dear Editor: As you may have heard, religious conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced a divisive and disrespectful resolution “reaffirming” In God We Trust as the national motto. The non-binding resolution, H. Con. Res. 13, would also promote the display of “In God We Trust” in public schools and other public buildings.

This obvious ploy to divide the nation along religious lines is utterly shameful. It excludes the millions of American non-believers, as well as the millions of Americans of minority religions that do not believe in a monotheistic god. The resolution also distracts Congress’ attention from the many pressing national issues confronting it.

Congress only adopted “In God We Trust” as the national motto in 1956, when American leaders sought to distinguish the United States from the communist Soviet Union. By invoking belief in a monotheistic divinity, however, Congress divided the American populace along religious lines by reinforcing the outsider status of the nation’s many nonbelievers, as well as members of minority religions that do not recognize a monotheistic god (including, for example, Buddhists and Hindus). Polls show that 16 percent of Americans have no religious identity, while more than 40 million Americans do not identify with the motto’s monotheistic God. A far better motto for the nation is the Latin motto adopt-

Not a good deal on coins

Dear Editor: “Cha-Ching! Coin collectors collect cash” was the wrong headline for the article on a so-called coin collectors show. It should have been “Coin sellers ripped off!” According to the article, one seller was paid $52 for six 1921 Morgan silver dollars. That may seem like a lot, 52 for 6. What a deal!

1921 was the last year Morgan silver dollars were minted. It is not a rare coin in that over 86 million were minted at three different mints.

However, it does contain 0,7736 Troy ounce of silver. Silver is currently selling at about $37.82 per ounce. So ...

0.7736 X 3782 X 6 = $175.55. Who got the better deal?

Help for seniors appreciated

Dear Editor: Chaves County J.O.Y. Centers Inc. would like to express appreciation to New Mexico state Rep. Candy Spence Ezzell and to Bernardine Salazar and DeAlva Calabassa of the New Mexico Aging and Long-Term Services Department for the assistance they provided to J.O.Y. Centers when a large section of the roof at the Roswell J.O.Y. Center required replacing.

In March the section of flat roofing which was original construction began leaking severely, J.O.Y. Centers, a notfor-profit group of Senior Citizens Centers in Chaves County, did not have funds available to replace this large section of roofing.

When Representative Ezzell became aware of the problem, she contacted individuals at the Aging and Long-Term Services Department, persons at the New Mexico Finance Authority, and other local legislators to request assistance to obtain funding for the roof replacement. Representative Ezzell, cooperating with Bernardine Salazar and DeAlva Calabassa, was able to assist in procuring $50,000 from an emergency fund operated by the Aging and Long-Term Services Department so that roof repairs could be done.

Thanks to the efforts of these fine individuals, the Roswell J.O.Y. Center now has new roofing replacing the area that was leaking. Funds to repair the interior of the building which was damaged by the leaks are in the process of being requested.

I would again like to express my appreciation to New Mexico Representative Ezzell and to Bernardine and DeAlva for their assistance in this matter.

I would also like to express appreciation to Chaves County commissioners for agreeing to administer the contract and to Chaves County personnel for their assistance in administering the funds.

Life too complex to be an accident

Dear Editor: “If enough monkeys pecked away at typewriters long enough,” the argument of the evolutionist goes, “they could eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare.”

I see that Burleson agrees with this point of view and uses it in the form of the pea shooter idea to prove evolution. He’s desperately trying to convince people (or perhaps himself) that it’s just that easy. Chemicals and stuff bounce around together and next thing you know, life has appeared! Well consider this information: Dr. William Bennett, a professor of physics at Yale University specializes in designing computer programs to solve unusual scientific problems. He has applied the rules of probability to the typing monkeys, and programmed computers to simulate their pecking of the keys. The report in the New York Times, March 6, 1979, gives the computer’s verdict. Dr. Bennett calculates that “if a trillion monkeys were to type 10 randomly chosen characters a second, it would take, on the average, more than a trillion times as long as the universe has been in existence just to produce the sentence “to be or not to be, that is the question.”

The answer from the computer is “it is not to be.”

Then Burleson criticizes the quote by the Russian scientists by repeating that he is “unnamed” (as if this would change the truth of his statement). The article we read was about Professor Frantisek Vyskocil of Charles University,

But consider what others have said: Dr Harold Morowitz, former professor of biophysics at Yale University, estimated that the probability of the chance formation of the smallest, simplest form of living organism known is 1 out of 10^340,000,000. One out of 10 to the 340 millionth power is unimaginable odds. This large figure is a “1” followed by 340,000,000 zeroes.

The very popular evolutionist, Dr. Carl Sagan of Cornell University, figured even steeper odds against the simplest life beginning naturally on a planet such as Earth. According to Sagan, the probability would be about 1 out of 10^2,000,000,000. Try to imagine 10 to the 2 billionth power. Pretty astounding odds. Interestingly, these impossible odds against evolution came from one of the most prominent evolutionists of our time.

Haves and have-nots

Dear Editor, As Americans we need to know who shaped the beliefs of our politicians.

Saul Alinsky was born in 1909 and died in 1972. He devised a strategy to promote social change. Perhaps you have heard of his book, “Rules for Radicals.” This “community organizer” was an intimate of the Al Capone mob in Chicago. He saw Communists and Marxists as allies, but disagreed with their tactics.

The Alinsky radical has only one goal — to take power from the haves and give it to the have-nots. The world is divided between these two groups. To these people it is a zero-sum game. If someone gains, someone else has to lose.

The “haves” oppress and rule the “have-nots.” Capitalists are the oppressors and wage-workers the new oppressed.

The ultimate goal is to create a perfect, just and equal society — a heaven on Earth. There everyone has a right to food, clothing, shelter, health care, etc. Since they will, in effect, be gods and create his perfect world, our God has no place in their plans. On the contrary, Alinsky wrote of his admiration for Lucifer, who won his own kingdom, ignoring that Lucifer’s ultimate win was a place called hell.

These radicals have practiced genocide and brought one kind of hell or another for millions. Lenin destroyed 100,000 churches. Bolsheviks wanted a “worker’s paradise” and it led to the slaughter of 400 million people. Our “Great Society” destroyed the inner city black family and created a poverty-stricken, violent underclass which we still have with us.

This doctrine is dangerous because the ends justify the means. Deception is their weapon and they will say or do anything which will bring power to further their end goal.

Unlike Lenin and Marx, they disguise their agendas and work through and infiltrate our system of government. They will call themselves Communists, socialists, new leftists, liberals, social justice activists, or progressives. What they really should be called are revolutionaries, who consider themselves at war.

They mean to destroy the present capitalist system by any means necessary. They will back any movement that will organize and give them more power, not because they believe in the movement, but because they can use them to direct federal funds into their own organizations and causes.

So they used the War on Poverty, the environmental movement, the civil rights movement, labor unions, ACLU, Students for a Democratic Society and ACORN, to name a few.

When they accumulate enough power, we could see executions, concentration camps, liquidation of the wealthier social classes.

Who are Alinsky’s disciples? In 1969, an undergraduate named Hillary Rodham composed a 92-page senior thesis on Alinsky’s theories. She compared him to Walt Whitman and Martin Luther King. She continued to support the Alinsky projects from the White House. Barack Obama was hired by the Alinsky team to organize residents on the South side of Chicago. The solution to every problem there was the distribution of government funds. Obama taught workshops on the Alinsky method. He learned from Alinsky that the only principle around which to organize people was self interest, not any “do-gooder” idealism. Obama was a top trainer at ACORN’s Chicago conferences and later became their attorney. They were his key supporters when he campaigned for the Illinois Senate. Then they groomed and positioned him to become president, pretending, of course, to be a moderate centrist who would bring people together.

Anyone in this country can better themself and move up the ladder, so there is no justification for this war. Most wealthy people in this country have earned what they own, and have created hundreds of thousands of jobs for others.

This will not dissuade the radical revolutionaries from striving to establish their fantasy world. So we had better go to the polls with our eyes wide open. Do not think it cannot happen here.

NATION/OBITUARIES/RECORDS

BIA allays tribes’ fears about shutdown fallout

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs on Friday allayed some fears of American Indian leaders worried a gover nment shutdown would be devastating to tribes, saying law enforcement services and schools it oversees would not be affected.

However, the agency said it would furlough about half its 8,767 employees, stop providing funding for welfare assistance, and cease any road maintenance activities.

It also would discontinue higher education scholarships and programs that provide early childhood development and help students with classroom costs, spokeswoman Nedra Darling said.

Tribal leaders feared a gover nment shutdown would be particularly burdensome for reservations, where federal funding often plays a vital role in everything from law enforcement and social services to schools. They’ve expressed worries about school closures and about money for

police and other essential services running out. At least one Montana tribe says it may have to halt trash pickup.

But Darling said Friday the BIA will “continue to provide uninterrupted public safety services.” And a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services official says Indian Health Service hospitals and clinics on tribal lands would likely see little impact because their services are deemed critical.

Other services that would be curtailed as federal employees are sent home are non-essential operations from local or regional BIA offices — such as permitting, business-site leasing or housing improvements.

During the 1995 shutdown that lasted 21 days, all Bureau of Indian Affairs employees were furloughed, and there were delays in general assistance payments for basic needs to 53,000 benefit recipients.

For mer BIA Assistant Secretary Carl Artman had voiced concern that anoth-

er shutdown would mean the nearly 60 elementary, middle and high schools operated directly by the Bureau of Indian Affairs would have to close.

But Darling says those schools, located in 23 states, would stay open because they’re not on the funding cycle being considered by lawmakers.

However, Darling said if a shutdown were to last longer than seven days, two BIA colleges — Southwester n Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, N.M., and Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kan. — would be forced to close and send home their roughly 2,000 students.

The agency didn’t immediately say what the impact to the other 120 schools under its Bureau of Indian Education would be. Artman said it would depend on the extent to which they’re supported by the federal government. Many are run by tribes through contracts with the federal gover nment, and tribes could choose to supple-

ment that funding if needed.

Meanwhile, many tribes are still assessing likely impacts following tribal council meetings and sessions with staff held earlier in the week on how to move forward.

“There would be a significant financial impact on our daily operations, and the (tribal) council would have to make some tough decisions,” said Robert McDonald, a spokesman for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai T ribes in Montana. “Our director of social services is very concerned about the services he could provide.”

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma was assuring members that all services would remain, tribe spokeswoman Judy Allen said. But she added the Choctaws feel it is “imperative that a resolution be found soon” so that federal funds continue to be available.

In Montana, the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribal Council recently met with department heads to

meltdown of its nuclear fuel.

A Putzmeister official in Japan contacted the Tokyo Electric Power Co., which operates the crippled reactors, after watching helicopters and fire trucks struggle to spray water onto the plant. The company managed to reroute a smaller Putzmeister pump to the power plant that had been destined for Vietnam.

A dozen workers used it to pump 150 tons of seawater into one of the reactor’s spent-fuel pools in three hours, a result that prompted the utility to request more booms.

Moving such a large pump required hiring a Russian Antonov AN-124 cargo jet, one of the

world’s largest. After landing in Atlanta, the towering plane taxied to a stop near the truck. The plane’s nose lifted, revealing a ramp that extended as if the aircraft had stuck out a green, metal tongue.

Once the ramp was fully constructed, a driver steered the pump truck into the plane.

That pump and another picked up at Los Angeles International Airport are scheduled to depart today.

The pumps were bought by the Japanese utility for about $2 million each, and the utility is paying for transportation costs.

Putzmeister America’s parent company in Germany has already sent a smaller pump and plans to send another.

Roswell Daily Record

go over their options if federal funding were suspended. They discussed dipping into other funds or running a skeleton crew to provide basic services to the most vulnerable residents, but no final decisions were made, McDonald said.

Loren “Bum” Stiffarm, chief administrative officer for the Fort Belknap Reservation, said his main concer n is that a shutdown could occur as the Milk River threatens to spill over its banks. The rising river is predicted to go into flood stage within a week, and if it causes significant damage to the reservation, tribal officials will be seeking federal emergency assistance.

The reservation in northern Montana is home to the Gros Ventre and Assinboine tribes. T ribal leaders planned to discuss the Milk River situation with the Interior Department.

“We hope to come away with a formal assurance that they will assist us if the flooding occurs,” Stiffarm said.

Fort Belknap plans to

have only essential staff working if there is a government shutdown. Some programs and services would be put on hold, including garbage pickup, but the tribal government will continue to provide for the welfare of the people, he said.

Some tribal members and Alaska Natives also are among the federal workers left wondering whether they’ll be furloughed soon.

Crystal Leonetti is a regional Alaska Native liaison for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She said workers at her Anchorage, Alaska, office have been told that Monday might be a matter of coming in for a few hours to change voicemail and outgoing email messages and cancel meetings.

“There’s questions on everybody’s minds on whether or not they’re going to get a paycheck,” said Leonetti, 34. “That’s a fear that people have, and nobody knows the answer to that.”

Massive pumps head to damaged reactors in Japan ATLANTA (AP) — A massive Russian cargo plane roared into Atlanta on Friday to pick up one of the world’s largest concrete pumps, which has been retrofitted to pour water on a Japanese nuclear power plant stricken by an earthquake and tsunami.

The 190,000-pound pump designed by Wisconsin-based Putzmeister America Inc. comes mounted on a 26-wheel truck. Its extendable boom can reach more than 200 feet, and can be operated two miles away by remote control, making it possible to shoot water into hardto-reach places at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Japan.

Pair of 3.9 quakes rumble central Ark. GREENBRIER, Ark. (AP) — A pair of magnitude-3.9 earthquakes rumbled through central Arkansas this week, about a month after two companies halted operations at nearby injection wells over concerns that they may be linked to the seismic activity plaguing the region.

The latest big quake struck near Greenbrier on Friday morning, less than 24 hours after an equally strong quake hit nearby, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Officials said no one was hurt and damage was minimal.

The quakes are the largest in the area, about 35 miles north of Little

Rock, since the companies agreed to temporarily cease operations at the wells at the behest of the Arkansas Gas and Oil Commission. The wells, used to dispose of wastewater from natural-gas production, ceased operations on March 4.

Their owners — Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake Energy and Clarita Operating — have said they don’t think the injection wells are tied to the earthquakes. And with the latest rash of quakes, some people in Greenbrier, including police dispatcher Steve Priddy, are questioning the potential link as well.

“I’m not sure that it is

the injection wells,” Priddy said.

But Scott Ausbrooks, a geo-hazards supervisor for the Arkansas Geological Survey, said it would be premature to rule out a possible tie to the injection wells.

“We’re only a month out after they stopped injecting,” Ausbrooks said.

The Fayetteville Shale, an organically rich rock formation underlying the region, is a major source of natural gas in Arkansas. Drillers free up the gas by using hydraulic fracturing or “fracking,” which requires injecting pressurized water to create fractures deep in the ground. The two injection

“Mount Rushmore is our country’s ‘Shrine to Democracy,’ and I believe it should remain open to the public during a partial government shutdown,” Daugaard wrote.

The first-term governor attached a list of options that he said could keep much of the memorial operating, including the use of state personnel for security.

He said memorial facilities that are operated by

third-party concessionaires such as the parking area, gift shop and restaurant could remain open, but the visitor center would be closed. Daugaard said he would help raise private money to continue operating spotlights that illuminate the presidents’ faces.

It is the tourism off-season for the state’s most famous landmark, but the Black Hills memorial drew 3 million visitors last year.

Rushmore spokeswoman Ace Crawford said it had about 35,000 visitors in April 2010.

In his letter to National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis, Daugaard

wells at issue dispose of “frack” water when it can no longer be re-used by injecting it into the ground.

Dozens of smaller earthquakes have been shaking the town in recent weeks — part of a series of about 1,000 quakes to hit the region since September.

The largest of those — with a magnitude of 4.7 on Feb. 27 — was the biggest quake to hit the state in 35 years. Neither of the larger quakes this week caused much damage — or even disruptions in traffic, Priddy said.

“We’ve gotten pretty used to them around here lately,” he said.

SDak gov has plan to keep Rushmore open

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s governor proposed using state resources Friday to help keep Mount Rushmore National Memorial open in the event of a federal government shutdown.

The National Park Service has planned to close the memorial and furlough employees other than a skeleton crew to provide security and maintenance if lawmakers in Washington failed to reach agreement by midnight Friday.

But in a letter sent Friday to the park service’s director, Gov. Dennis Daugaard outlined a plan to keep open the famous mon-

also turned down a request to close a state highway that runs past the memorial, presumably to keep people away from a closed facility.

“Even if closed, Mount Rushmore is viewable from the highway, and Americans should still have that opportunity,” he wrote.

Crawford couldn’t say how many Rushmore employees would be furloughed in the event of a shutdown. South Dakota has three other national parks, all in the western half of the state.

“This is affecting thousands in the region and beyond just federal workers,” she said.

Integration of Autistic Children

Today's educators are increasingly aware of the learning disabilities common in children. One of the more widely publicized and much debated conditions is autism. The educationl debate with respect to autism largely surrounds whether segregated autism classrooms or integrated programs are better for the child.

Autism is a developmental disorder that can begin at birth or in the first two years of life. In more severe cases, autistic children engage in puzzling behaviors that are markedly different from other children their age. They may show no interest in social situations, aversion to touch and repetitive behaviors, such as rocking or flapping their arms. Less severe cases may be classified as Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or Asperger's Syndrome. These children may exhibit normal speech, but have deficits in social behavior.

Autism was once very rare. Today, however, autism numbers are increasing at an alarming rate. In 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 1 in 150 children is diagnosed with autism. Boys outnumber girls four to one in diagnoses.

HIGH BLOOD SUGAR AND THE DAMAGE IT CAN CAUSE

When diabetes is out of control, it means your blood sugar (blood glucose) is too high. Type 2 diabetes may not make you feel sick. But even if you have no symptoms, controlling your blood sugar is the right thing to do. That’s because high blood sugar can lead to serious problems over time. Good blood sugar control means lowering your blood sugar levels to the target range your doctor recommends and keeping them there.

When your blood sugar is not controlled, too much sugar stays in your blood for a long time.

That can damage blood vessels and nerves.

This damages can cause: Kidney Disease, Blindness, Nerve Damage, Foot problems, Heart disease. Over many years, high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can lead to serious problems. Kidney disease can lead to kidney failure and the need for dialysis. Blood vessel damage in the eyes can lead to blindness.

Nerve damage in the feet can lead to the need for amputation. And heart disease can lead to death. Heart disease is, in fact, the number 1 cause of death in people with diabetes.

You may not want to think about these possibilities--no one really wants to. But the good news is that you can help avoid these problems by taking good care of your diabetes. This means taking steps to keep your blood sugar level at a healthy balance.

NEW YORK (AP) — NBC’s “Today” show has been one of the most stable and successful programs in the history of television over the past 15 years. Now it faces the possibility of a major makeover.

Co-host Meredith Vieira, the “newbie” on “Today” with five years in the earlymorning anchor chair, is leaning toward leaving when her contract expires in September, according to multiple reports this week. That news was barely digested when an unconfirmed “Entertainment Tonight” story suggested that her partner, Matt Lauer, also may leave when his contract is done in nearly 21 months.

The two anchors have not commented on their futures. “There seems to be an awful lot of speculation on news anchors these days, and it’s not our practice to comment on any of it,” NBC News spokeswoman Megan Kopf said.

As this happens, the “Today” show magic number stands at 798. That’s how many consecutive weeks it has been No. 1 in the morning show ratings — more than 15 years without a loss to ABC’s “Good Morning America,” CBS’ “The Early Show” or anybody.

It’s a gold mine for NBC, particularly important for the company as the network’s prime-time fortunes

collapsed. The program, now four hours long, earned more than a half-billion dollars for NBC News in 2010, more than it ever has.

“A lot of their strength has been that they have had a team together with very strong interpersonal relationships for a long time,” said David Westin, former ABC News president.

The team goes beyond the two main anchors, and it is one comfortable with itself and with viewers. Lauer has been with the show since 1994 and co-anchor since replacing Bryant Gumbel in 1997. Newsreader Ann Curry has been there since 1997. Utility player Al Roker, who forecasts weather, does features and anchors the 9 a.m. hour, joined in 1996.

Many Americans have spent more time with them over morning coffee than with their spouses.

“Today” averages 5.5 million viewers a day this season, compared with 4.7 million at “Good Morning America” and 2.7 million at “The Early Show,” according to the Nielsen Co. ABC has gained in viewers this season, but “Today” just recorded its widest margin of victory in seven years during the first quarter in the demographic it bases ad sales upon.

Transitions are a point of pride at NBC News, which passed the “Nightly News”

BIGAR

ARIES (March 21-April 19) An issue that might involve you and others could have you wondering YOUR HOROSCOPE which way to go. Ask questions, but also be observant. Zero in on what counts.

Tonight: Know that you can, if need be, reverse gears.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Whether you hear news that forces your hand or you suddenly have a key insight makes no difference. Once more, your mental filter drops. Look at what you can understand now. Your instincts might want you to stay with what is known and comfortable. Tonight: Relax to great music.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are all smiles as you pursue a new course. A partner or associate could cause a strong reaction with his or her attitude. Relax and know that as easily as a situation could change one way, it can reverse itself. Tonight: Curb a tendency to go overboard.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be a touch lazy this morning, but by the afternoon, others could find it difficult to keep up with you. Feeling empowered, zoom in on what works. Your lunar magnetism draws admirers, for now. Tonight: Be open to everything!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You need more information than you have. The unanticipated opens up an unanticipated chasm. You might wonder what to do when dealing with a key person. Your sense of humor comes forth when you realize how self-evident the answer is. Tonight: Happily vanish with a loved one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to approach a friendship on a new level. You could be, at best, stunned by the nature of another person’s response.

Think long and hard about the best way to pursue this goal. Tonight: Where the action is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pressure builds around an older friend or loved one. You must meet the demand, but it could cost you. A close associate just will not understand, as much as you try to explain the hows

baton smoothly from Tom Brokaw to Brian Williams.

The 2006 exit of Katie Couric, a key component of the show’s success, was a real concern. But top NBC executive Jeff Zucker, who rose to prominence by running the “Today” show, lured Vieira from “The View” as a replacement and she fit in seamlessly.

“If they proved they could replace Katie Couric without a hiccup, they can replace Meredith without a hiccup,” said Shelley Ross, who was “Good Morning America” executive producer from 1999 to 2004 and did the same job at “The Early Show” in 2007-2008.

Vieira, 57, in an interview

with Ladies’ Home Journal last fall, said, “I’ll know when it’s time to go, and I’m not afraid to go.” She has spoken of spending more time with her husband, author Richard M. Cohen, who wrote a best-selling book about coping with multiple sclerosis and colon cancer. She has a less timeconsuming second job as host of the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

“Meredith really likes the ‘Today’ show, she likes the people she works with, but it’s a very intrusive way to live,” Cohen said in the same magazine interview. “I think she may be nearing the point when she wants to reassess what she’s

and whys. Accept what isn’t changeable. Tonight: Out and about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You are hardpressed to visualize a situation differently. An incident in your daily life points to another direction, and probably consumes your attention. Be ready to adjust to a quickly changing situation. Tonight: Let your mind wander and choose!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal directly with key associates involving funds and perhaps your money! For some, it might look like getting your taxes done or filing an extension. A risk could be a very bad idea in present circumstances. Tonight: Be wild. Blow off some steam.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You feel as if you are no longer in sync with yourself. You might question how you can be with others, especially a key person.

Be ready to change and let go of the status quo. Honor

doing and what she wants to do, and not get up at 2:30 in the morning.”

Curry seems an obvious replacement. After she was not given the job in 2006, she stayed on at “Today” and reinvented herself as a reporter eager to travel the world for stories. Audience testing has shown she’s consistently popular with viewers, Westin said.

If NBC went elsewhere, there’s a good chance they would have two positions to fill: Human nature suggests someone who’s been at the same job for 15 years and is passed over twice for promotion would want to move on.

Lauer is another issue entirely.

It’s hard to know what to make of the report he’s poised to leave. Networks have been known to leak stories to nudge action on a contract extension. NBC News often seeks long-term contracts for its valued employees, and quietly locked up Lauer at the same time the world had been focused on Couric’s future.

Agents have also adroitly played the press to increase pressure on a company to raise a salary offer.

Or it could be true: 17 years is a long time to wake up for work in the middle of the night.

Lauer is the best at what he does — maybe ever.

“Women want to talk to Matt and men want to talk to Matt,” Ross said. “The only men who have been as all-around talented with a broad range of skill sets are Brokaw, Gumbel and Lauer. That’s it.”

The “Today” show ratings often dip slightly when Lauer is off, something that hasn’t been the case with his female co-anchors, she said.

“Matt is unique in morning television right now,” Westin said.

There are no obvious candidates in line to replace him. Lester Holt anchors the weekend “Today” show. Willie Geist of MSNBC has filled in for Lauer. David Gregory once seemed an heir apparent, but he’s ensconced at “Meet the Press.” There’s a shortage of highly-regarded male anchors in television in general, both at the national and local levels, Westin said.

Don’t think Lauer and his representatives aren’t aware of all this, and the show’s value to the company. Lauer is only 53, with a young family, and there are limited opportunities elsewhere to get the eight-figure salary he’ll surely command. He could easily be the highest-paid television news figure, if he isn’t already.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use the morning in a fun way. A responsibility or project calls in the afternoon. You will feel as if you have little choice. Some physical exercise could prevent you from going over the same scenario again and again in your mind. Tonight: Don’t push.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Once you get past a personal or domestic matter, you are on cruise control. A child or, if single, a new person in your life draws your attention. You might wonder exactly how to make your goals and this situation friends. Tonight: Let go and just be.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS MANNY BEING MANNY: RAMIREZ CALLS IT QUITS

NEW YORK (AP) — Manny Ramirez walked away from baseball on Friday after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug, abruptly ending the mercurial career of one of the most talented — and tainted — hitters to ever play the game.

The slumping Tampa Bay slugger informed Major League Baseball that he would retire rather than face a 100-game suspension. Ramirez served a 50game ban for violating the drug policy in 2009, and second-time offenders get double that penalty.

“We were obviously surprised when we found out about it today, and hurt by what transpired,” said Rays vice president Andrew Friedman, who signed Ramirez to a $2 million, one-year contract in the offseason. “We were cautiously optimistic that he would be able to be a force for us.”

A person familiar with the situation confirmed to The Associated Press that the 12-time All-Star tested positive for a performanceenhancing drug. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the nature of Ramirez’s issue with MLB’s drug policy was not publicly disclosed.

The commissioner’s office announced Ramirez’s decision in a statement, but provided few details.

Tiger roaring as Rory keeps lead Section

Roswell Daily Record

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The fist kept pumping. The cheers kept growing. The ball kept dropping.

In the fading sunlight of Augusta National, T iger Woods finally looked like himself again.

Rory McIlroy goes to the weekend at the Masters with a two-stroke lead, a worthy reward for two superb days of golf by the 21-year-old from Northern Ireland.

But all eyes will be on the guy who’s three shots back, in a position that used to be more familiar.

Woods shot a 6-under 66 Friday, his best round at the Masters since he captured the last of his four green jackets in 2005.

“I’ve played myself back in the championship,” he said.

Woods hasn’t gone this low at the Masters since he shot 65 in the third round of the ’05 tournament when he went on to beat Chris DiMarco in a playoff.

A lot has changed since then. Woods is mired in the longest winless streak of his career — 20 tour naments over 17 months — and he’s still dogged by a sex scandal that ended his marriage and tarnished his image.

After a sluggish start to

the second round, Woods got going with three straight birdies around the turn, a perilous par save at the 11th, then strung together three more birdies through the middle of the back nine.

Woods just missed making it four in a row, pushing a slick putt at No. 16 wide of the putt. But he ended with a flourish, knocking his approach from under the trees to within 10 feet of the pin. He rolled that one in and pumped his fist one last time.

“Anytime you shoot 66 in a major, it’s going to be good,” Woods said. “I’m very pleased about that.

Very pleased.”

Rory McIlroy fretted about an errant chip that nearly slid into the water, a few putts that didn’t fall in the cup on the back nine.

That’s about it.

The shaggy-haired kid put together another strong round, shooting a 69 that left him at 10-under 134 midway through the year’s first major.

“I drove it good. I gave myself a lot of opportunities. I just didn’t make as many putts as I would’ve

Steve Lavin battling cancer Preps: Rocket girls

NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Lavin, who revived St. John’s basketball in his first season with the Red Storm, has prostate cancer, but his doctor expects him to keep coaching and make a complete recovery.

The 46-year -old Lavin said in a statement Friday he was diagnosed in September and was told he could delay treatment until after the season. He will begin treatment in the coming weeks. The statement did not say how he will be treated.

“My family feels fortunate that through annual health exams, we detected my condition at an early stage,” Lavin said. “This past fall I didn’t want to distract our team, but with the season behind us, we are now working with medical experts and taking the proper steps to tackle this health challenge head on.”

He is under the care of Dr. Jonathan Schiff, a New York urologist. Schiff described Lavin’s condition as a “relatively low-grade cancer,” with treatment to proceed “shortly.”

“I expect a complete cure of Coach Lavin’s condition and we anticipate a seamless continuation of his coaching duties,” Schiff said.

The Red Storm went 2112 and tied for third in the Big East this season. They made the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2002, losing to Gonzaga in the second round.

Lavin inherited a roster with 10 seniors. After a rough start, St. John’s won eight of nine with four of the wins over ranked teams. The Red Storm lost three of five

to end the season.

Lavin was hired at St. John’s in April after seven years as an ESPN analyst.

He coached at UCLA from 1996 to 2003 and was fired after leading the Bruins to a 145-78 record that included six NCAA tournament berths.

Lavin received support Friday from two Big East coaches who had prostate cancer — Jim Calhoun of Connecticut and Jim Boe-

heim of Syracuse — and went on to win NCAA championships.

“All of us as men can get it,” Calhoun told The Associated Press. “I am happy for him that they caught it early. The cure rate then can be 100 percent.”

Calhoun, who won his third national title Monday night, was diagnosed in 2003.

College: Broncos drop 2 to NMJC RECORD STAFF REPORTS

NMMI fell to 11-30 with a pair of losses to New Mexico Junior College on Friday.

The Thunderbirds won the first game 8-5 and then blanked the Broncos 10-0 in Game 2.

In the first game, the Broncos took a 3-1 lead after the first inning, but surrendered it two innings later.

The Thunderbirds grabbed a 1-0 lead after the top of the first thanks to three hits and an error, but the Broncos made the lead short-lived.

After hits by Johnnie Garrett, Robert Orona and Luis Maldonado loaded the bases, Brian Moneghan hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game at one.

The Broncos took the lead on a two-run single by Neil Jaquez.

After a scoreless second inning, New

Mexico JC took the lead for good with a five-run third, which included a three-run homer by Parker Wood.

“You can live with one- or two-run innings,” NMMI coach Bret Simmermacher said. “But, a five-run inning kills you. If we limit that inning to three runs, we are in the game.”

NMMI got a run back in the home half of the third when Moneghan ripped a two-out triple to right and scored on another single

by Jaquez.

The score remained 6-4 until the seventh, when the Thunderbirds scored two to take a four-run lead.

Simmermacher said that his team had a chance to end the inning allowing no runs, but couldn’t get the final out.

ALBUQUERQUE — The Goddard girls tennis team split two matches at the Albuquerque Academy Invitational on Friday, while the Rocket boys dropped both of their matches.

The girls dropped their first match to Los Alamos, 3-6, but bounced back to down Belen, 8-1.

Against the Hilltoppers, Gabby Joyce (first singles), Whitney Bates (fifth singles) and Anisha Suri (sixth singles) were the only winners for the Rockets.

Things turned around in the nightcap though as Joyce, Lexi Cassels (second), Angelica Sanchez, Bates and Suri all won their singles matches.

Doubles winners against Belen were Joyce and Cassels (first), Shannon Duchar me and Sanchez (second) and Bates and Suri (third).

The Rockets beat Los Alamos earlier in the season, but coach Becky

Joyce said that the Goddard team was different.

“We had beaten Los Alamos when we played them earlier, but we were missing two players (today),” she said. “We played with a different team than when we played them earlier. We could have won more tie breakers, so it’s not like we got ran over. We did really well against Belen.”

The boys lost to Belen 6-3 and Los Alamos by the same score.

Against Belen, Goddard got singles wins from Andrew Wiser (fourth) and David Sweet (fifth), and a doubles win from the tandem of Tristan Collar and Konnor Kundomal (second).

Against the Hilltoppers, Eric Lamb (sixth) and Wiser (fourth) picked up singles wins, while Darren Powers and Lamb teamed up to win at third doubles.

Gores to buy Pistons

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Pistons announced Friday that billionaire California investor Tom Gores has agreed to buy the struggling NBA franchise, ending a drawn-out sale by longtime owner Karen Davidson that stretched back before the season.

Gores, the chairman and CEO of Beverly Hills, Calif.based Platinum Equity, also is buying the operating rights to the Meadow Brook Music Festival.

Davidson became the owner after her husband died in March 2009.

“We are pleased to welcome Tom Gores as the new owner of the Detroit Pistons and Palace Sports and Entertainment,” she said in a statement. “Just as my late husband, Bill Davidson, was the face of the Pistons, I am confident that Tom will bring the same energy, dedication and love to this organization.

Bulls beat Cavs 93-82, clinch best record in East

CLEVELAND (AP) — For the first time since the final year of the Michael Jordan era, the road through the Eastern Conference playoffs will again go through Chicago.

Carlos Boozer had 24 points and 11 rebounds, and the Bulls clinched the top seed in the East with a 93-82 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.

Chicago, which has won six straight and 18 of 20, will have home-court advantage through the first three rounds of the playoffs.

The Bulls hadn’t finished with the best record in the East since 1997-98, the most recent of their six NBA championships with Jordan.

Despite wrapping up the top seed, there were no celebrations in Chicago’s locker room.

“It’s good to be the No. 1 seed, but at the end of the day we understand that there is a bigger picture,” center Joakim Noah said.

“We’re staying focused. It’s definitely an achievement and we’re excited about it.”

The Bulls, winners of five in a row and nine of 10 on the road, had six players score in double figures. Ronnie Brewer had 12 points while Derrick Rose added 11 points and eight assists. Noah scored 11 points while Luol Deng and Kyle Korver had 10 points apiece.

SCOREBOARD

J.J. Hickson led Cleveland with 22 points and 15 rebounds. Daniel Gibson scored 14 points while Ramon Sessions added 13.

The Cavaliers, who had won their previous two games, fell into a tie with Minnesota for the league’s worst record.

The Bulls, who barely made the playoffs last season and were eliminated by the Cavaliers in the first round, have made major strides under first-year coach Tom Thibodeau, who had been a longtime assistant with Boston.

“Last year we qualified on the last day and now we are the No. 1 seed.” Noah said.

“That feels pretty good.”

Rose, a leading candidate for the league’s Most Valuable Player Award, gives his coach all the credit.

“Tibbs, man, is the coach of the year to me,” he said. “He’s been honest, holding everyone accountable, every time we step on the court.”

The players also reflect the business-like attitude of their coach.

“It’s the next step,” Thibodeau said. “We still have a ways to go. We’re not done. We have to keep playing and keep improving.”

Despite clinching the East, Thibodeau doesn’t plan on resting his key players. The Bulls, who have three games remaining, trail San Antonio by one game for the best record in the league.

“You want to put as many things going in your favor as possible,” he said. “It doesn’t guarantee anything, but that’s how you have to approach it.”

The Cavaliers were trying to win three in a row for the first time since Nov. 5-9. Coach Byron Scott was unhappy with Cleveland’s 16 turnovers that resulted in 16 points for the Bulls.

“We did not help ourselves,” he said.

“They are a very good team, but we didn’t do a very good job of taking care of the ball.”

Chicago led 54-46 at halftime, but the Cavaliers cut the lead to three midway through the third quarter. The Bulls scored 10 straight points and ended the period on an 18-6 run.

Hickson’s thunderous dunk brought the Cavaliers to 60-57 at the 7:06 mark of the quarter, but the Bulls scored six straight points, forcing Scott to call timeout. The run contiued on Deng’s layup and a basket by Boozer, giving Chicago a 70-57 lead.

Hickson scored two baskets for Cleveland, but the Bulls ended the quarter on an 8-2 run and led 78-63.

Alonzo Gee scored 11 points and Baron Davis added 10 for Cleveland.

Before the game, the Cavaliers honored their Hall of Fame radio play-by-play man Joe Tait, who is retiring at the end of the season, his 39th announcing Cleveland’s games. A banner bearing Tait’s name was raised to the rafters next to the Cavaliers’ retired numbers. Tait has called 3,381 Cavaliers’ games. His last one will be Wednesday against Washington.

Lawyers for NFL, players talk mediation with judge

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The locked-out NFL players don’t want to go back to collective bargaining with the league. They have now made a move to allow their former union boss to be present if court-supervised talks take place between the two sides.

Attorneys for the NFL and the players held a conference call Friday to discuss mediation with U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson, who is currently deciding whether to lift the lockout.

League spokesman Greg Aiello confirmed the call took place and said Nelson wanted details to remain private. Jeffrey Kessler, a lawyer for the players, declined to comment.

The most notable development Friday was the formal addition of DeMaurice Smith as an attorney for the players. Smith is the executive director of the NFL Players Association, which is now officially a trade association and not a union. Lawyers who practice in a different state must file for approval through the court.

NFLPA spokesman Carl Francis confirmed that the move allows Smith to participate in any mediation sessions that might take place under Nelson’s supervision.

After a hearing Wednesday on the players’ request for an injunction to stop the lockout, Nelson urged both sides to resume talks toward a new labor pact. Negotiations broke down last month.

Both sides expressed a willingness to talk again after the hearing, but the NFL wants to resume negotiations before a federal mediator in Washington while the players prefer to remain in Nelson’s court.

Lawyers from each side sent letters to each other and to Nelson outlining their stances.

“The purpose of the mediation would be to negotiate a settlement not only of the issues raised in the complaints, but also the many other issues that must be resolved to permit the upcoming season to be played and for the league to operate effectively,” wrote David Boies, an attorney for the NFL. He also said the federal mediator has a 16-day “head start” on the issues.

Barbara Berens, a lawyer for the players, spelled out support of Nelson’s offer to supervise.

“We think this is an excellent suggestion and are prepared to engage in such mediation without delay,” Berens wrote.

The players voted to dissolve the union and filed an antitrust lawsuit against the league last month, and owners declared a lockout. The players say the lockout is illegal, and the owners say the decertification of the union was a negotiating ploy.

Masters Notebook: Els avoids early exit with 2nd round 70

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — After an opening-round 75, Ernie Els looked like a prime candidate to join the convoy of major champions heading out of town at the Masters ahead of the weekend.

While defending champion Phil Mickelson shot 72 for a 142 total, Martin Kaymer, the PGA champion and world’s No. 1 ranked player, as well as two of the three other major winners last year — Graeme McDowell (U.S. Open) and Louis Oosthuizen (British) — all finished on the wrong side of the cut line at 145.

Not Els. He followed an eagle at the par5 13th with consecutive birdies for a backnine 34 and a round of 70 Friday that landed him right on the line.

Fellow South African and major winner Retief Goosen wasn’t as fortunate, despite a promising start. He started the tournament by knocking his approach at No. 1 into the hole for an eagle, but shot 78 in the second round for a 148 total.

NO PENALTY: Ryan Moore is in the red, in part because officials determined he was also in the clear.

Just barely.

Moore birdied the par-5 13th. But his ball moved before one of his shots, and there was a question of whether Moore had already taken his stance. That would have been a two-stroke penalty.

Officials determined that Moore had not taken his stance, and the birdie stood. He finished with a 73 that left him at 1 under for the tournament.

BAD HOLE: The ninth hole made Nathan Smith and Peter Uihlein look like the amateurs they are.

Bad second shots left both in the fairway of No. 1, the next hole over. Smith’s landed in the crosswalk, just as defending Masters champion Phil Mickelson and his group were teeing off.

“Exactly what you want to have going on.

Here comes the world, here comes Phil over the hill,” said Smith, a three-time winner of the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship.

Mickelson has spent more than his fair share of time in the woods and in the rough — he’ll be picking pine straw out of his socks for days after his wayward drive on 17 — but that didn’t stop him from giving Smith grief.

“He asked me if that was my drive,” Smith said. “I said, yeah, sure.”

Uihlein, the U.S. Amateur champ who was paired with Mickelson and Geoff Ogilvy, was a little kinder, running ahead of the group to give Smith an encouraging hug. He might have been better off saving those well-wishes for himself. Uihlein blistered his second shot on No. 9 so badly it landed about 25 yards in front of the No. 1 tee.

“I was hoping to make the cut and didn’t do that, didn’t play well. And I didn’t hit my irons very good,” said Uihlein, who finished at 5 over. “You’ve got to be very precise out here with the irons, and I just wasn’t quite ready for it.”

GUIDED TOUR: Charl Schwartzel might have to give Jack Nicklaus a cut of his earnings this week.

The six-time Masters champion gave Schwartzel invaluable advice before the South African’s first appearance at Augusta National last year, talking him through the course.

Nicklaus “took me through every single hole the way he used to play it,” Schwartzel said. “You can’t get much better advice than that. ... I was in such awe.”

Schwartzel has put the advice to good use, shooting par or better in four of his six rounds at the Masters. His 71 on Friday left him at 4 under, six strokes behind leader Rory McIlroy.

liked on the back nine,” McIlroy said. “But I can’t really complain. I’m in the lead going to the weekend at the Masters.”

He’s clearly gotten over any bad memories from last year’s British Open, where he opened with a 63 and fell apart the next day in a howling wind to shoot 80.

McIlroy went 29 holes before he made his first bogey at the picturesque 12th hole, where his tee shot plopped into a bunker and he couldn’t get up and down. Otherwise, he showed a maturity beyond his years.

Among those he will be trying to hold off is Woods, who played in the next-tolast group and got off to a rough start. His very first tee shot found a bunker, leading to bogey. He took another with a weak chip at No. 3, the shortest par-4 on the course. Then another with three putts at the seventh.

Then, suddenly, he resembled the Tiger of old.

“I just kept staying patient,” Woods said.

“That’s all I was trying to do.”

McIlroy will be paired in the final group Saturday with one of his playing partners from the first two days, Jason Day. The 23-year -old Australian is another of golf’s up-and-comers, and he

Masters Glance — Round 2

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — A glance at Friday’s second round at the Masters: Leading: Rory McIlroy followed his 65 with a 69 and held onto the top spot with a 10-under total of 134.

Pursuing: Jason Day, who shot the low round — 64 — is two back at 136, followed by Tiger Woods and K.J. Choi at 137.

And Phil? Defending champ Phil Mickelson is among 10 players tied for 20th at 2-under 144.

Shot of the day: Woods hit an 8-iron from the right rough 150 yards to set up a 12-foot putt on No. 18 for last of his nine birdies on the day.

Key stat: McIlroy’s bogey-free streak of 29 holes ended when he failed to get up and down out of a bunker at No. 12.

Noteworthy: PGA champion Martin Kaymer, the world’s top-ranked player, and two other major winners from last year — Graeme McDowell (U.S.Open) and Louis Oosthuizen (British) — failed to make the cut at 145.

Quoteworthy: “I don’t really care what anyone else does. I don’t need to know.” — McIlroy, on whether he was worried seeing Woods climb the leaderboard.

showed no respect for a course he’s playing for the first time this week. Day made eight birdies in the best round of the tournament, a 64 that sent him surging up the leaderboard.

He’s only two shots behind McIlroy’s 10-under 134 total.

The third member of their group, 22-year -old Californian Rickie Fowler, also was in contention. He posted a 69 — meaning the threesome combined for a 14-under score — and was in a group at 139.

“It was fun playing with Rory and Rickie out there,” Day said. “I can’t even remember shooting 8

happy with his team’s effort, but wants them to learn how to finish an opponent.

“I was happy with their effort, but I was not happy with them finishing matches,” he said. “We are losing tie breakers. We are splitting sets with everyone and losing it at the end. I want them to work on finishing matches. If we lear n to finish matches, things will be a lot different.”

The Warriors (3-5, 3-2) jumped ahead 2-0 in the second and added three runs over the final four innings to pick up the victory.

“We played pretty well. I think we only made three errors and they didn’t really hurt us,” said Warrior coach Rick Rapp. “The pitching was much better.

Andrew and Daniel did a much better job of throwing strikes and keeping men off base.

“Our hitting wasn’t quite there. We left several on base, but we scored enough to win the game. Overall, I was pleased, especially with getting a district win.”

Ramirez got the win after allowing one hit and striking out four in four innings of work and Meeks got the save after giving

legacy.”

Gores founded Platinum Equity in 1995, and in its 2010 list of the 400 richest people in America, Forbes put him in a tie for 153rd with a net worth of $2.4 billion.

Gores, 46, is a Flint native and has a degree from Michigan State University, though he now lives in California with his wife and three children.

“I am very proud to have this opportunity to be part of such a tremendous organization,” Gores said. “I know it’s been a long process, and I appreciate the patience and support of the Detroit community. I have been impressed with the Davidson family and the way it has protected and built such a storied franchise.

“I grew up here, I am glad to be back and I am very excited about all the possibilities looking forward.”

Davidson had hoped to reach a deal to sell the team before the season. The Pistons were negotiat-

Of course, this is all new to him.

“I’m sure I will be very nervous,” Day said. “I’ll try to relax tonight and just go out there and have fun.”

While the focus at this Masters has been on youth, let’s not forget the older guys.

Fred Couples, the 1992 champion, was in contention for the second year in a row. Even with a balky back, he strolled around the course as though he owns the place on the way to a 68 that took his score to 139.

Jason Day hits out of the pine straw on the ninth hole during the third round of The Masters, Friday. Day made birdie on the hole and went on to shoot the low round of the day — 64. He is two shots back of leader Rory McIlroy at 8 under.

“I know the course more than most people,” he said, “and that helps.”

The 51-year-old Couples made a serious run at another green jacket last year. He led after the first round and wound up sixth, seven strokes behind winner Phil Mickelson.

This time, he opened with a 71 and really turned it on for Day 2, making five birdies and two nifty saves at the end of his round. If Couples can keep it going for two more days — no certainty, given his chronic back problems — he’ll have another shot at becoming the oldest major champion ever.

Valley Chr. 23-16, Lake Arthur 3-5 ARTESIA — Valley Christian combined for 39 runs in two games en route to sweeping a doubleheader over Lake Arthur, Friday.

In Game 1, the Lions posted at least one run in all five innings and had at least eight in both the third and fourth innings to run away with a 20-run victory.

TEMPLE, Texas — Two NMMI doubles teams won their matches on Friday at the Southwest JUCO Championships.

Both teams still have a chance to win the title.

ing terms with Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch around that time, but those talks fell apart. Gores was among the other suitors last year, along with The Postolos Group president George Postolos.

“We are very pleased that the Pistons will continue to call the Detroit area home,” Ilitch said in a statement. “Even though we were only engaged in the sale process for a short period of time last year, I was truly amazed by all of the kind words and tremendous support we received from fans and the entire community.”

The Pistons play in suburban Auburn Hills, in Oakland County.

County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said it’s a sale with “many complex parts,” referring to the team, The Palace and other entertainment venues.

“I wasn’t surprised to see long negotiations,” he said. “I am delighted with Gores’ ownership.

He’s made it clear he’s keeping the team in Auburn Hills in Oakland County, and there’s no question where my loyalties are.”

“Can I still win?” Couples mused. “Yeah, I think I can go out there tomorrow and shoot a very good score. Then I’d have to do something crazy on Sunday.”

The defending champ has a lot of work to do.

Mickelson scrambled for a 70 in the first round despite hitting fewer fairways than anyone in the 99-player field. His erratic play continued Friday, forcing him to spend more time saving pars than chasing birdies.

“I left too many chances out there,” he said. “We’ve got the weekend to look forward to, and fortunate-

In Game 2, Lake Arthur jumped out to a 5-0 lead before Valley Christian drew to within a run with a four-run third. VCA took the lead for good in the fourth behind nine runs, including a Logan Rader grand slam.

For the Panthers, LeBlanc had an inside-the-park home run and a double, Miguel Rubio had a two-run double and Jarod Roberts and Cody Dalton each had doubles.

topped Collin College, 8-4.

NMMI’s No. 2 doubles team of Adalyn Hazelman and Alyssa Hawkins lost to Tyler JC, 2-8.

In singles play, Burt was the only Bronco to pick up a win in her first match.

She beat North Central Texas’ No. 5 singles player, 6-2, 6-3, but she lost her second match, 1-6, 0-6.

Martinez dropped her first match in the No. 1 singles flight, but rebounded in the back draw to win 60, 6-2.

Other back draw winners in singles were Godinet (second; 3-6, 6-4, 12-10), Hawkins (fourth; 6-3, 2-6, 10-4) and Dunn (fifth; 6-1, 6-0).

a popular splash a year ago in the community of Cadillac, 200 miles northwest of Detroit. Platinum Equity essentially bought the bankrupt Four Winns boat manufacturing company in a move officials said saved or created hundreds of jobs.

“I am completely convinced that unless Mr. Gores had bought the company and his particular interest in Michigan that the facility would close down, and they would have moved all their manufacturing out of Michigan,” said Paul Brown, vice president of capital markets for the Michigan Economic Development Corp.

The Pistons’ sale, if approved, will end the long and storied ownership of the team by the Davidson family.

NBA Commissioner David Stern released a statement through a league spokesman.

ly, I’m not in that bad of a spot. If I can shoot a good round, I can get back in it.”

The world’s top-ranked player was heading home.

PGA champion Martin Kaymer played better after an opening 78, but even a closing birdie for a 72 was not nearly enough to end his Augusta misery. He’s never made the cut in the year’s first major, missing out for the fourth time in a row.

In fact, the last three major winners failed to advance. U.S. Open winner Graeme McDowell and British Open champ Louis Oosthuizen also failed to make the cut.

Jal scored at least one run in each of the first three innings and posted four in the fifth to take an 8-2 lead. Dexter (5-9, 12) tried to rally with three runs in the sixth, but couldn’t add any more.

“We played well. We made some adjustments on defense and (the girls) adjusted well and responded. Jal is probably one of the best teams in the state,” said Demon coach Chanda Crandall. “On defense, we have to cut down on errors. Six is way too many to win games.”

Jenna Garcia went the distance and allowed eight runs on eight hits in taking the loss.

Evelyn Dominguez was 2 for 3 with a double and two runs scored and Tamara Salas was 1 for 4 with two runs scored.

NMMI coach Zeljka Vidic said that the singles picked up their game in the back draw.

“The first round was tough,” she said. “The girls played good, but we got a couple of girls that were highly ranked in the nation. Singles maybe could have done better, but we played good and had some tough opponents.

“Even though we lost in singles, we had some tough matches and picked it up in the back draw. We did improve in doubles. We played some girls we had played in the past and did a better job this time, so clearly we are getting better.”

said.

Spurned in his bids to buy the NFL’s Detroit Lions and NHL’s Red Wings, Bill Davidson became majority owner of the Pistons in 1974.

He acquired the team from the late Fred Zollner, the man who founded the team in Fort Wayne, Ind., in the 1940s. The franchise moved to Detroit in 1957.

Davidson bought Roundball One for the Pistons, making them one of the first pro sports team with their own airplane. He built a state-of-the-art practice facility for the club and was among the first to put luxury boxes closer to the court in arenas.

The Palace was built for $90 million — all of it Davidson’s money — and won instant acclaim as a sports and entertainment venue when it opened in 1988.

The Pistons won three championships when Davidson was the owner, including back-to-back titles in 1989-90.

Alan Ostfield, Pistons COO and assistant general manager, said he believed Gores was committed to keeping the team at the Palace.

“I underwent surgery; he may not,” Calhoun said. “But after the surgery I was back coaching in 12 days.”

Lavin has been involved with both Coaches vs. Cancer and The V Foundation for Cancer Research.

Boeheim said he spoke with Lavin at the Coaches vs. Cancer luncheon at the Final Four.

“He seemed to be on top of it and it was caught early,” said Boeheim, who was diagnosed in 2001. “We talked about a number of things. I think he’s in real good position to handle this.”

Boeheim said the treatment should not keep Lavin from his coaching duties.

“Once he starts whatever he decides as a treatment he should be done with it within a short period of time,” he said.

St. John’s athletic director Chris Monasch said the school’s first priority will be to support Lavin and his wife.

“We are encouraged by the early diagnosis and expect that Steve will continue his regular coaching activities,” Monasch said. “We do not anticipate any disruption in his duties as our head coach, and thank all in advance for their support of Steve and respect for his family’s privacy.”

PRACTICE VIRTUE

Aristotle famously claimed that "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." You can't be courageous just once or twice and claim the virtue of courage. To be courageous requires that you have a settled disposition to act forthrightly and that you put that disposition into practice whenever the situation calls for it. Benjamin Franklin recounts in his autobiography how, as a young man, he systematically engaged in a project of self-improvement which involved spending four weeks on each of 13 virtues, the entire project thus taking him through the course of a year. With practice and self-reflection, he worked diligently to perfect those virtues, and at the end of the year, he had made significant progress in self-mastery. None of us are blessed with a perfect disposition and thus all of us must work hard to be good. Like anything that is difficult, we get better at it the more that we practice. So, perhaps we should practice virtue and goodness and not be dismayed when we fail, for there is an eternity of time in which to perfect our souls.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.

CHURCH PAGE LuPone, Harris and yes, Colbert shine in ‘Company’ Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — It does not quite seem fair that the ridiculously funny Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert can do musical comedy, too.

And really, doesn’t the guy get enough positive attention already?

But yes, that was “The Colbert Report� host up there on the New York Philharmonic stage Thursday night, singing, dancing, doing karate moves and seemingly having a total blast alongside veteran stage

actors like Broadway legend Patti LuPone in Stephen Sondheim’s “Company.�

The Philharmonic always assembles stellar casts for its occasional, semi-staged theatrical productions, but still, this was an unusually starpacked ensemble, making “Company� — that quintessentially 1970 examination of marriage and singledom — one of the hot tickets of the season. (The four show run continues through the weekend.)

Playing the lead, the commitment-shy Bobby, was Neil Patrick Harris, who Broadway fans know is not merely the star of “How I Met Your Mother� — or an indemand awards show host — but an accomplished stage actor as well (�Assassins,� “Proof,� “Cabaret,� and “Sweeney Todd� at the Philharmonic).

He and Colbert weren’t the only TV stars joining their stage brethren: Jon Cryer, who’s got some time on his

hands since the shutdown of “Two and a Half Men� (had you heard?), was there, as was a deliciously ditzy Christina Hendricks of “Mad Men,� trading in her ’60s office attire for a flight attendant’s uniform.

Hendricks provided some of the night’s highlights, displaying wonderful comic timing as April, who sings the one-night stand song, “Barcelona,� and delivering a priceless anecdote involving a maimed butterfly.

DEAR ABBY: I am a high school senior who has been filling out applications for college. I have found a few small liberal arts colleges I’d love to attend, and I have a favorite.

My problem: My father has been out of work for quite some time. He has applied for a job at a large state college. I visited the school and don’t like it because it’s a huge party school. My mother has now informed me that if Dad gets the job, I’ll have no choice but to go there because we would get a 70 percent discount in tuition.

I feel angry and guilty at the same time. The anger is because my parents had promised me that college would be my choice. The guilt is for not wanting my father to get this job, even though it would greatly help my family’s financial situation. Dad has made the second round of the long interview process. What should I do?

BOUND FOR COLLEGE

DEAR BOUND FOR COLLEGE: Your parents may have promised you your choice of colleges, but that was likely when your family’s financial situation was much better. What

Dear Heloise: I enjoyed the picture of Murphy on the fax machine (a previous Pet Pal — Heloise). I would like to share my experience with my cat, Lizzy, lying on my COPYING MACHINE. I went to my copier to make copies, and they were coming out light and missing sections of the print. Naturally, I suspected my ink cartridge and replaced it. But the copies looked the same.

I took the copier to an office-supply store to see what was wrong and if it could be fixed. I questioned the repairman about what the problem was. He laughed and

you should do is, first, pray that your father gets the job he so desperately needs. Then go to the library and start exploring what financial aid or scholarships are available at the schools you’d prefer to attend.

Also, don’t turn up your nose at the state college just yet.

While it may have a reputation as a party school, that doesn’t mean you have to participate in the festivities. If you’re a serious student, you can still get an excellent education and your degree, if you’re willing to keep your shoulder to the grindstone and work for it.

DEAR ABBY: I have been happily married to my husband for 20 years.

My problem is my children want me to make friends. My HUSBAND is my best friend. I

don’t feel the need to go on “girls’ nights out” or anything else. I’m happy just to be with him.

I’m not anti-social, just content. Besides, I have seen what can happen to relationships when these kinds of outings go too far. I don’t want to offend my kids because they have only my best interests at heart, but I’m tired of the pressure. How can I get my adult children to leave my personal life alone and stop trying to get me to make friends?

HAPPY AT HOME

DEAR HAPPY:

Your children may be urging you to make friends because they are aware that, statistically, women outlive their husbands. They don’t want you to be completely isolated if something should happen to their father, or worse, completely dependent upon THEM for a social life. Frankly, I think they have a point. However, as an adult you can make your own decisions. And if yours is that you don’t want to expand your circle (of two), just say it in plain English.

don’t have to worry about another big bill for repair.

Dear Readers: Leo and LeEtta Waldhausen type their church’s bulletins and inserts. Their cat, Ke-ke, decided one day that she wanted to “help” by chasing the cursor around on the computer screen! To see Ke-ke “helping,” go to www.Heloise.com and click on “Pets.”

Dear Readers: When stocking your home aquarium, even though it is tempting to do so, don’t use shells that you find on the beach. They can harbor bacteria that can harm your fish.

Cleaning the shells will not help, either. Whatever landscape material you want for your aquarium is readily available from a large chain store or specialty fish shop.

Dear Heloise: I love dogs, and I had a picture of my favorite old pet, but although it was otherwise perfect, the “red-eye” spoiled it. Who hasn’t experienced that? I had an inspiration while looking at it and made a tough decision. I took a black permanent pen and very carefully put a small black dot in each eye. It worked! The picture is now perfect, and not even I would know the difference. Hope this helps someone else!

Wilson H. in Laredo, Texas Dear Heloise: Please advise your readers to check with their veterinarian before chopping up their pet’s pills. This may be perfectly OK for some drugs, but dangerous for others. Sustained-release dosage types, for example, are designed to release their contents slowly over time. Chopping up the pill will likely cause too much of the drug to be released all at once.

A Reader, via e-mail How right you are! That is why we always recommend checking with a veterinarian.
