A dazzling sight for all to see

The severe drought may have curbed firework fun for some New Mexico residents this year, but that wasn’t the case for people who attended the city’s professional display this Fourth of July.

Cielo Grande Park was packed with children and adults alike who came out to see the display put on by the city and the Roswell

Sertoma Club. Attendees got ready for the show with live music, and fireworks organizers said this year would be one to remember.

“It’s more fireworks thank last year,” said Lt. Shane Adams, of the Roswell Fire Department.

“It’s probably the biggest show that the city’s ever seen.”

Adams said some 1,200 shells were set up for the show, in addition to the American flag and waterfall

displays. The show was slated to last about 27 minutes.

“The Parks and Recreation staff are always really excited to do this event,” said Laurie Jerge, of Parks and Recreation. “(This show) will have more of that wow factor,” she said. “It just makes it a better event for us and for the community.”

Until next year: 2011 UFO Festival comes to an end

E.T.'s young and old prepare to take the stage during the 2011 Roswell UFO Festival Alien Costume Contest, Saturday.

As things were wrapping up Monday with this year’s UFO Festival, organizers behind the event said it was a successful few days.

Greg Neal, one of the event’s planners, said he was excited to report positive feedback from guests

and visitors to the city.

He said keeping the festival in a defined area worked well in keeping the festival going throughout the day and night.

“Friday was very good, and Saturday was just rocking,” he said. “The

“I’m excited for the show,” said Courtney Kilpatrick, who was visiting from Jacksonville, Fla. “It was a good (weekend) and was really fun.”

Emma, Kilpatrick’s 6year -old daughter, who shares America’s birthday, said while she was waiting, “I really like fireworks.”

Donaldson Fire 60% contained

mattarco@roswell-record.com

Crews battling Lincoln County’s Donaldson Fire reported 60 percent containment Monday, as updated acreage data indicates the blaze is the state’s second largest on record, according to state officials.

The lighting sparked wildfire swelled to more than 100,830 acres by Monday. It’s the second largest on record, behind the Las Conchas Fire

burning near Los Alamos, which charred more than 123,560 acres.

The Las Conchas fire was 19 percent contained Monday.

According to New Mexico State Forestry, the two fires currently burning in the state broke records.

SANTA FE (AP) — Public employees will feel a pinch in their pocketbooks because of a new state law and some jobless New Mexicans will see their unemployment benefits shrink.

The take-home pay of state workers and educators will drop because of a cost-cutting plan to save the state $50 million in the new budget

year, which started on July 1. Workers must contribute an additional 1.75 percent of their salaries into their pension programs while gover nment employers — the state, school districts and colleges — reduce their payments by a similar amount.

Los Alamos evacuation order lifted; 12,000 go home

Nuke lab to reopen Wednesday

LOS ALAMOS (AP) — Honking horns and waving to firefighters, residents of a New Mexico city threatened by a massive wildfire rolled back into Los Alamos nearly a week after flames forced an evacuation and the closure of a nearby major nuclear weapons laboratory.

Summer showers gave a boost to firefighters battling the blaze and provided

authorities enough confidence Sunday to allow the 12,000 residents to return home.

“Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you!” yelled Amy Riehl, an assistant manager at the Smith’s grocery store, as she arrived to help keep the store open for returning residents.

“It’s scary, but all of the resources here this time, they were ready. They did a magnificent job,” said Michael Shields, his eyes tearing up as he returned to his apartment in the heart of the town.

The fire erupted June 26 when a tree fell onto powerlines, officials announced Sunday. Fueled by an

exceptionally dry season in the Southwest and erratic winds, the fire has mushroomed to 189 square miles. It was 19 percent contained as of Monday.

Although the threat to the community and the Los Alamos National Laboratory has waned, the wildfire still menaced sites held sacred

by American Indian tribes.

The blaze, the largest ever in New Mexico, reached the Santa Clara Pueblo’s watershed in the canyon last week, damaging the area that the tribe considers its birthplace and scorching 20 square miles of tribal forest.

Fire operations chief Jerome Macdonald said it

was within miles of the centuries-old Puye Clif f Dwellings, a national historic landmark.

Hundreds of firefighters were working to contain the fire as it burned through a canyon on the Santa Clara reservation and caused concern about other pueblos on the Pajarito Plateau.

Tribes were worried that cabins, pueblos and watersheds could be destroyed.

Los Alamos residents fled en masse last week as the fast-moving fire approached the city and the nation’s premier nuclear research lab, located northwest of Santa Fe. The town was last evacuated because of a devastat-

ing fire in 2000 that destroyed 200 homes and several businesses and damaged utilities and other county enterprises.

This time, residents returned to a town that is completely intact, although the fire scorched 63 homes west of town along with 37 outbuildings and other structures.

“We’re confident that we’ll be able to keep the fire out of the community,” Los Alamos County Fire Chief Doug Tucker said. “We’ve done so far, and we’ll continue to do so.”

The Los Alamos National Laboratory will re-open to employees on Wednesday.

Laboratory Director

Charles McMillan tells workers in a memo that the lab escaped major damage from the Las Conchas fire.

The lab was evacuated along with the town on June 27.

McMillan says every one of the 2,000 buildings on 36-square-miles of campus will be checked for safety before they reopen.

Laboratory managers will begin assessing the work areas on Tuesday. Some facilities may not be fully functional because of issues related to the fire.

Only workers who are notified that they are needed before Wednesday should try to enter the lab before then.

Ratko Mladic disrupts war crimes court New air traffic

AP Photo

In this image taken from TV, former Bosnian Serb military chief Ratko Mladic sits in the court room during his further initial appearance at the U.N.'s Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, Monday.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — He put on a cap, defying the rules of the courtroom. He gestured to the packed public gallery despite a judge ordering him not to. He threatened a boycott because his chosen lawyers weren’t there.

A belligerent Ratko Mladic repeatedly disobeyed and shouted at judges Monday during an arraignment at the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal. Finally, the former Serb general was thrown out of the hearing and the court entered not guilty pleas on his behalf to 11 charges of masterminding the worst atrocities of the Bosnian war.

The 69-year-old’s courtroom theatrics came at the start of a solemn

week for survivors of the massacre he is accused of orchestrating — the killing of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in 1995 in the Bosnian town of Srebrenica.

Officials are preparing to rebury 600 people whose remains were dug out of mass graves in the past year and identified using DNA tests. The bodies unearthed in the hills surrounding Srebrenica will be laid to rest July 11 at a cemetery for victims of the mass killings.

Mladic’s actions in court drew anger from survivors of the 1992-95 Bosnian war and raised the prospect of another turbulent trial at the U.N. court that may offer victims more heartache than justice.

In Srebrenica, the site of Europe’s worst massacre since World War II, survivor Fadila Efendic said Mladic’s behavior was like salt in her wounds.

“We are made to suffer, to mourn our children, we are forced to watch him make a circus in the court,” she said. “This should be a short trial. He should be treated the way he treated our children, how he treated thousands of innocent people ... killed at his orders.”

Mladic had threatened to boycott Monday’s hearing, only his second public appearance since Serbia extradited him to The Hague in May, because the court had not appointed Belgrade attorney Milos Saljic and a Russian lawyer to represent him.

Shortly before guards escorted Mladic from court, he shouted at Presiding Judge Alphons Orie, “You want to impose my defense. What kind of a court are you?”

He continued yelling in Serbian, “You are not allowing me to defend myself. ... You are not allowing me to

breathe.”

The judge told him that the court’s registry is studying Mladic’s request to be represented by the lawyers.

When Orie began reading out the charges, Mladic said, “No, no, no!

Don’t read it to me, not another word,” and pulled off his earphones, slumping back in his seat with a frown.

After Orie warned him to be quiet or be removed, Mladic shot back: “Remove me.”

Such defiant outbursts are not new at the tribunal. Former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and other high-ranking suspects tried to use their trials to discredit the court and promote nationalist ideologies. Milosevic died of a heart attack in 2006 before a verdict could be reached in his case.

Legal expert Mark Ellis, executive director of the International Bar Association, said Orie will try to give victims a sense of justice by reining in Mladic’s antics, while at the same time ensuring his rights are protected.

“Orie will not permit Mladic to take over these court proceedings, and hopefully in preventing Mladic from doing so, the court will be able to provide witnesses a sense of justice, but it’s difficult,” Ellis said.

Saljic said the courtroom fireworks demonstrated that Mladic is not mentally fit to stand trial. Saljic has said Mladic is not physically fit for the rigors of a long trial after suffering two strokes during nearly 16 years on the run as one of Europe’s most-wanted fugitives. Saljic added that he does not believe he could represent Mladic at the U.N. court because he does not speak English.

control system at crossroads WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration is creating a new air traffic system that officials say will be as revolutionary for civil aviation as was the advent of radar six decades ago. But the program is at a crossroads.

It’s getting harder to pry money out of Congress. The airline industry is hesitating over the cost of equipping its planes with new technology necessary to use the system. And some experts say the U.S. could lose its lead in the manufacture of high tech aviation equipment to European competitors because the FAA is moving too slowly.

Seventy-five years ago this week the federal government, spurred by the nascent airline industry, began tracking planes at the nation’s first air traffic control centers in Newark, N.J., Chicago and Cleveland.

The original group of 15 controllers, relying on radioed position reports from pilots, plotted the progress of flights using

blackboards, maps and boat-shaped weights. Air traf fic control took a technological leap forward in the 1950s with the introduction of radar.

That’s still the basis of the technology used today by more than 15,000 controllers to guide 50,000 flights a day.

Under FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System program, known as NextGen, ground radar stations will be replaced by satellite-based technology.

Instead of flying indirect routes to stay within the range of ground stations, as planes do today, pilots will use GPS technology to fly directly to their destinations.

Planes will continually broadcast their exact positions, not only to air traffic controllers, but to other similarly equipped aircraft within hundreds of miles. For the first time, pilots will be able to see on cockpit displays where they are in relation to other planes and what the flight plans are for those other aircraft.

Chavez back home in Venezuela after cancer surgery Roswell Daily Record

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez made a stunning middle-of-the-night return home to Venezuela after three weeks of cancer treatment in Cuba, appearing deter mined to dispel doubts about his political future.

He projected a strong, vibrant image when he stepped off the plane smiling early Monday. He hugged his vice president, broke into song and later raised a fist in triumph.

“It’s the beginning of my return!” he declared on the runway.

But he also suggested he still isn’t ready for a full comeback, saying he does not expect to attend celebrations Tuesday marking the 200th anniversary of Venezuela’s declaration of independence from Spain.

For a president who excels at showmanship, his triumphant retur n was classic Chavez and sent a powerful message that he remains very much in control. During nearly a month in Cuba, uncertainty has swirled in Venezuela, both about how sick he is and

about what could happen if cancer were to force him from power.

The long-term political impact of fighting cancer for a leader who thrives on the spotlight remains unclear. But Chavez will likely play up his return to the fullest to rally supporters and strengthen his movement as he looks ahead to 2012 elections in which his allies say they are convinced he will still be their candidate.

Unanswered questions about Chavez’s health abound. He has said he underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor, and his foreign minister said it was extracted from the same part of the “pelvic region” where Chavez had an abscess removed in an initial operation in Cuba.

But Chavez hasn’t said what type of cancer is involved or whether he is receiving chemotherapy, radiation or some other treatment.

Medical experts have said that based on Chavez’s account, it’s most likely he has colorectal cancer, but Chavez has not confirmed

that.

Many Chavez supporters were thrilled just to have him back. Hundreds celebrated in Plaza Bolivar in downtown Caracas, holding pictures of him and chanting “Viva Chavez!” and “He’s back!”

Elsa Gonzalez, a 61-yearold building maintenance worker, said she had stopped cooking breakfast when she saw Chavez on TV at the Caracas airport.

“I shouted with excitement,” she said, teary-eyed as she joined the revelers in the plaza. “God is going to lay his hands on his body and is going to heal him completely.”

Chavez returned to a city dressed up with freshly painted murals bearing his face and those of independence heroes. Yellow, blue and red Venezuelan flags were everywhere downtown, fluttering from lamp posts and over doorways under sunny skies.

The mood among Chavez’s supporters was festive. Some acknowledged he faces an uncertain future but said they felt hopeful and relieved, espe-

cially after seeing him looking much healthier than he did on television several days ago.

“If that illness is attacked in time, people get through it,” said Xioraima Garcia, a 56-year -old lawyer who came to the plaza to celebrate with the crowd.

Asked how she thinks the situation will af fect Chavez politically, she said: “What he’s going through has strengthened him more.”

Adam Isacson, an analyst at the Washington Office on Latin America, agreed that Chavez will get a boost, at least for now.

“Hugo Chavez’s illness will generate a lot of sympathy for him,” Isacson said, adding that it’s similar to the jump in the polls that Argentine President Cristina Fernandez enjoyed after her husband’s death.

“It is already moving Venezuela’s political debate away from themes that don’t work to the president’s advantage, like crime, power shortages, the economy, and concentration of power in the presidency,” Isacson said. “On

WASHINGTON (AP) — This is one anniversary few feel like celebrating.

Two years after economists say the Great Recession ended, the recovery has been the weakest and most lopsided of any since the 1930s.

After previous recessions, people in all income groups tended to benefit. This time, ordinary Americans are struggling with job insecurity, too much debt and pay raises that haven’t kept up with prices at the grocery store and gas station. The economy’s meager gains are going mostly to the wealthiest.

Workers’ wages and benefits make up 57.5 percent of the economy, an all-time low. Until the mid-2000s, that figure had been remarkably stable — about 64 percent through boom and bust alike.

Executive pay is included in this figure, but rankand-file workers are far more dependent on regular wages and benefits. A big chunk of the economy’s gains has gone to investors in the form of higher corporate profits.

“The spoils have really gone to capital, to the shareholders,” says David Rosenberg, chief economist at Gluskin Sheff + Associates in Toronto.

Corporate profits are up by almost half since the recession ended in June 2009. In the first two years after the recessions of 1991 and 2001, profits rose 11 percent and 28 percent, respectively.

And an Associated Press analysis found that the typical CEO of a major company earned $9 million last year, up a fourth from 2009.

Driven by higher profits, the Dow Jones industrial average has staged a breathtaking 90 percent rally since bottoming at 6,547 on March 9, 2009.

Those stock market gains go disproportionately to the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans, who own more than 80 percent of outstanding stock, according to an analysis by Edward Wolff, an economist at Bard College.

But if the Great Recession is long gone from Wall Street and corporate boardrooms, it lingers on Main Street: — Unemployment has never been so high — 9.1 percent — this long after any recession since World War II. At the same point after the previous three recessions, unemployment averaged just 6.8 percent.

— The average worker’s wages, after hourly accounting for inflation, were 1.6 percent lower in May than a year earlier.

Rising gasoline and food prices have devoured any pay raises for most Americans.

— The jobs that are being created pay less than the ones that vanished in the recession. Higher -paying jobs in the private sector, the ones that pay roughly $19 to $31 an hour, made up 40 percent of the jobs lost from January 2008 to February 2010 but only 27 percent of the jobs created since then.

Kathleen Terry is one of those who had to settle for less. Before the recession, she spent 16 years working as a mortgage processor in Southern California, earning as much as $6,500 in a good month, a pace of about $78,000 a year.

But her employer was buried in the housing crash. She found herself out of work for two and a half years. As her savings dwindled, the single mother had to move into a motel with her three daughters.

They got by on welfare and help from their church and friends. Terry started taking a 90-minute bus

ride to job training courses.

Eventually, she found work as a secretary in the Riverside County, Calif., employment office. She likes the job, but earns just $27,000 a year. “It’s a humbling experience,” she says.

Hard times have made Americans more dependent than ever on social programs, which accounted for a record 18 percent of personal income in the last three months of 2010 before coming down a bit this year. Almost 45 million Americans are on food stamps, another record.

Ordinary Americans are suffering because of the way the economy ran into trouble and how companies responded when the Great Recession hit.

Soaring housing prices in the mid-2000s made millions of Americans feel wealthier than they were.

They borrowed against the inflated equity in their homes or traded up to bigger, more expensive houses. Their debts as a percentage of their annual after-tax income rose to a record 135 percent in 2007.

Then housing prices started tumbling, helping cause a financial crisis in the fall of 2008. A recession that had begun in December 2007 turned into the deepest downturn since the Great Depression.

Economists Kenneth Rogoff of Harvard University and Carmen Reinhart of the Peterson Institute for International Economics analyzed eight centuries of financial disasters around the world for their 2009 book “This Time Is Different.” They found that severe financial crises create deep recessions and stunt the recoveries that follow.

This recovery “is absolutely following the script,” Rogoff says.

Federal Reserve numbers

crunched by Haver Analytics suggest that Americans have a long way to go before their finances will be strong enough to support robust spending: Despite cutting what they owe the past three years, the average household’s debts equal 119 percent of annual after-tax income. At the same point after the 198182 recession, debts were at 66 percent; after the 199091 recession, 85 percent; and after the 2001 recession, 114 percent.

Because the labor market remains so weak, most workers can’t demand bigger raises or look for better jobs.

“In an economic cycle that is turning up, a labor market that is healthy and vibrant, you’d see a large number of people quitting their jobs,” says Gluskin Sheff economist Rosenberg.

“They quit because the grass is greener somewhere else.”

Instead, workers are toughing it out, thankful they have jobs at all. Just 1.7 million workers have quit their job each month this year, down from 2.8 million a month in 2007.

The toll of all this shows in consumer confidence, a measure of how good people feel about the economy.

According to the Conference Board’s index, it’s at 58.5. Healthy is more like 90. By this point after the past three recessions, it was an average of 87.

How gloomy are Americans? A USA Today/Gallup poll eight weeks ago found that 55 percent think the recession continues, even if the experts say it’s been over for two years. That includes the 29 percent who go even further — they say it feels more like a depression.

the other hand, it also moves the debate in directions that Chavez would not want to see it go. For the first time in years, Venezuelans are thinking about what a post-Chavez era might look like. This raises concerns about the lack of an heir-apparent.”

Chavez appeared eager to counter such doubts.

“Here I am, at home and very happy!” Chavez said in a message on Twitter.

“Good morning, my beloved Venezuela!”

Vice President Elias Jaua said Chavez was back in the presidential palace and planned to address supporters from the balcony later Monday. “He doesn’t need to go to the hospital at this time,” Jaua said. denied that Jaua Chavez’s socialist-inspired Revolution Bolivarian movement is threatened.

Chavez’s opponents have criticized a lack of details about his illness. Leading opposition lawmaker Alfonso Marquina said Chavez’s return puts an end to the “irregular situation” of having a president governing from Cuba, but he said

much has yet to be explained.

“We don’t know exactly what the president’s illness is, what treatment he needs and what consequences this treatment will bring,” Marquina told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

The economic recovery turns 2: Feel better yet? Study: Is the risk of autism in the womb?

CHICAGO (AP) — Most of the risk of autism has been blamed by experts on inherited genes. Now one of the largest studies of twins and autism shifts the focus to the womb, suggesting that the mother’s age and health may play a larger role than thought.

The new research doesn’t solve the mystery of what causes autism.

Most scientists think faulty genes and outside factors are both at work.

And since autism spectrum disorders include a wide range of conditions, from mild to severe, it’s unlikely there’s a single cause for all of them.

Conditions during pregnancy may trigger autism where there’s a genetic vulnerability, said Dr. Gary Goldstein of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, who was not involved in the new research.

“We’ve identified lots of vulnerability genes, but

not everybody who has them gets autism,” Goldstein said.

The new twins study, published Monday by Archives of General Psychiatry, used rigorous methods to diagnose autism spectrum disorders, including direct observation of the children.

Using California health records, it’s the largest study to do that and the first to consider a large sample of twins drawn from a general population, said lead author Dr. Joachim Hallmayer of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.

Children with autism can have trouble communicating and interacting socially. They may have poor eye contact and engage in repetitive behavior such as rocking or hand-flapping. One in 100 children have autism disorders, according to U.S. government estimates.

Put these free-trade agreements to work A4 Tuesday, July 5, 2011

OPINION

There’s no reason for them to remain idle when they could be doing good work for a lot of people.

ED FEULNER THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION

Some Americans act as if Congress and the president have a jobs-making switch somewhere they can flip to help the economy.

If only. No modern economy is that simple. And the factors that affect employment can be complex.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t concrete steps that policymakers can take right now to improve the situation and kickstart a stalled recovery. Consider the three free-trade agreements that have been sitting around for the last several years. There’s no reason for them to remain idle when they could be doing good work for a lot of people.

Start with the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. According to the U.S. International Trade Commission, it would increase U.S. exports by an estimated $10 billion annually. Think it would help our economy to be shipping an addi-

tional $10 billion in goods every year? Of course it would. This increase in trade would create thousands of new U.S. jobs. Look at how anemic the monthly jobs reports have been in recent months — that would be a godsend.

The benefit of the Korea-U.S. FTA goes beyond dollars and sense, by the way. A glance at its résumé also indicates that it would help a key U.S. ally in the region better withstand pressure from China, and enable Seoul to rely less on Beijing.

As Heritage trade experts Bruce

Klingner and James Roberts write in a recent paper, “Seoul has become increasingly concerned about China’s belligerent and arrogant behavior and willingness to use its growing military and economic power to pressure smaller Asian nations.” The Korea-U.S. FTA can serve as an important counterbalance in a dangerous region — if, that is, U.S. policymakers finally approve it and let it get to work.

FTA No. 2 is with a nation closer to home: Colombia. Talk about waiting a long time to start work: This pact was originally signed in

Roswell Daily Record

November 2006. And this agreement, too, would bring economic and security benefits to both nations. This expansion of trade would create economic opportunities and help stabilize Latin countries plagued by drug violence and grinding poverty.

Colombia doesn’t just trade with the United States, of course, and it has pursued agreements with other nations, including China and the European Union. “From Argentina and Canada come agricultural products that enter Colombia with duties lower than those placed on U.S. products, duties that would end with the passage of the FTA,” notes Latin America expert Ray Walser. The U.S. is estimated to have lost some $1 billion in agricultural sales, and all because the U.S.-Colombia FTA remains unpassed.

On top of that, the FTA would help defend against the growing threat posed by Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, who has been trying to undermine U.S. interests in the

region for years. We need more market-based democracy in that part of the world — not less.

The third FTA is with Colombia’s next-door neighbor: Panama. The price of delay there has been very similar. Again, we have an agreement forged several years ago (2007) that has sat on the sidelines while Panama hammers out trade deals with a wide variety of nations, including Canada, Singapore, Taiwan and Chile. Meanwhile, U.S. companies have missed key opportunities — job-creating ones — that would have come if they could have bid on the $5 billion construction of a third set of locks for the Panama Canal.

So the next time you hear Washington politicians bemoaning the economy, ask why these three trade agreements haven’t been put on the job. They need to be approved — now. No conditions.

Starting date: yesterday.

EDITORIAL

World Opinion Unrest in Syria

The Syrian dissidents who were allowed by the Baathist (or Assadist) regime to hold a meeting on June 27 in a Damascus hotel are not leaders of the current protests in the street — but the younger activists should form lines of communication with them, rather than carp at them as dupes of the state.

The Damascus Declaration Coalition and other groups who are running the risk of being shot at and killed when they demonstrate are worried that the government will exploit the Semiramis Hotel meeting to pretend that freedom has come to Syria.

But there is little danger of that, after the killing of at least 1,300 people at demonstrations, the arrest of about 12,000 and the flight of 11,000 refugees over the border.

The organizers of the meeting, attended by about 150 or 200 people, are not puppets. No such event has happened in decades. Its principal instigator, Luay Hussain, called the regime a “system of tyranny,” and their concluding communiqui advocated a popular uprising. Hussain and a number of the others in this mostly middle-aged group have been imprisoned for political activities, for substantial lengths of time.

On the other hand, the leaders of the street uprising were wise not to attend; the government’s security forces were watching who was coming and going.

Their meeting was not the beginning of a Syrian era of glasnost, but it does open a door, if ever so slightly, and that is a change for the better.

Gadhafi warrant

The International Criminal Court warrant against Moammar Gadhafi doesn’t really come as a surprise to anyone. Given the international outrage over the regime’s continuing atrocities against its own people and the West’s struggling military campaign, this was to be expected. Notwithstanding the hypocrisy often demonstrated in such cases, it has to be said that the ICC charges brought against the Libyan trio — Gadhafi, his son Seif Al-Islam and intelligence chief AlSenussi — are far from unreasonable and unjustified.

Thousands have been killed in the crackdown by the Libyan regime since the popular uprising began nearly four months ago. Hundreds of thousands of Libyans and foreign workers have been driven from their homes.

Indeed, the whole country has been split into two, with situation worsening by the day.

The ICC warrant against the regime for its crimes against humanity will therefore come as a much-needed shot in the arm for the opposition, including to the U.S. and NATO alliance. It could very well prove the proverbial last straw on the camel’s back for Gadhafi, although there are fears that the ICC move could also make the colonel desperately dangerous. Let us hope for the best.

Guest Editorial Arab News, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia DEAR DR. GOTT: My husband has been having a problem for at least a year with having to get up several times at night. Then he had a burning sensation when he went to the bathroom. He started taking a product called Super Beta Prostate. He went to a urologist, who gave him antibiotics and said he was retaining a day’s urine in his bladder.

Is there anything he can do, take or eat to help with the retention? The urologist said he could wear a catheter, but my husband is 83 years old and will not do this. Thank you for your help.

Coming out all over the place When you are in the middle of changing history, it’s hard to see that what you are doing is historic.

How many of you look back on the day when someone came out of the closet and defined himself or herself as gay? You might remember the moment, but the people we know who came out were either a part of the gay-pride movement or were the beneficiaries of it. Most of us just remember the movement as life-evolving, but it has been all about taking away the stigma and the stereotype, and it has changed our country

Your husband’s condition may be caused by bacteria, stress, trauma to the pelvis, insufficient fluid intake, or an immune or nervous system disorder.

Diagnosis might begin with a digital rectal exam so a physician can determine if the gland is enlarged or inflamed, blood and urine testing, cystoscopy or urodynamic testing.

If a cystoscopy is performed, a urologist then inserts a camera into the bladder to rule out other possible causes for symptoms. Urodynamic tests can determine how easily a man can empty his bladder when he feels the urge to relieve himself and allow his

The gay-rights movement has used a brilliant political and community organizing tactic that is incredibly simple, and yet that is what makes it so powerful: Make the invisible visible.

Treatment might include an antibiotic to fight any bacterial infection, over -the-counter pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen, or through the assistance of a group of drugs known as alpha blockers that should reduce his symptoms.

String Slinger to demonstrate yo-yo skills at library Roswell Daily Record

LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

“Have Yo-Yo — Will Travel” is the slogan of Yo-Yo String Slinger Luke Renner. Renner will be performing during both the 10 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Wednesday storytimes held in the Roswell Public Library’s Bondurant Room. The shows will captivate the attention of the young and the young at heart as magic co-exists with the physical marvels of one of the world’s oldest toys, the yo-yo.

Versions of the yo-yo are said to have originated in ancient Greece or even earlier in China. The first yo-yo craze seized Americans in the mid-19th century, but the story of the modern yo-yo began when Donald F. Duncan first saw a yo-yo in 1928. A year later, his company generated millions of customers by staging contests where yo-yo “champions” could make the toy “walk the dog,” “shoot the moon,” “rock the cradle,” and go “around the world.”

The Duncan Yo-Yo was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1999.

More than 45 toys have been included into the Toy Hall of Fame, including the Atari 2600 Game System in 2007 and the Nintendo Game Boy in 2009.

Robert Briggs, Circulation

Department supervisor, reviews books related to Pokemon, Wii and game machines.

“Gotta Catch ’Em All” is the slogan for Pokemon, the popular video game franchise. Pokemon has branched out successfully to other media such as books, cartoons, card games and toys. If you want to catch ’em all, there are several strategy guides in the library. These show not only how to catch ’em, but also how to use them to thwart corrupt forces, take on the Pokemon league, and breed even more powerful critters. With the release of Pokemon Black and White there are as many as 649 Pokemon creatures.

The guide covers important places and non-playable characters. The full color pictures that make it easy for players to navigate their way through forests, caves, towns and swamps without leaving items behind. It includes a Pokedex; a list of all Pokemon, their statistics, possible moves, and typings of each Pokemon so that players can choose which monsters to take on their journey to becoming the world’s greatest trainer.

Every team member showed sincere concern and was always only a phone call away. I can never thank the team enough for being there for me. When the final moments came for my wife to depart the one member that would not leave me alone was Therisa the RN who became a steadfast in the home.

She stayed by my side and provided that much needed support.

Allison's Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning says ‘Clean carpets last longer’

Carpet Cleaning Allison's Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning in Roswell has been cleaning carpet and upholstery for over 25 years.

Harry Allison feels that people are looking for reasonable prices, good workmanship and trustworthiness.

With the economy the way it is, it really makes sense to take care of your carpets. A clean carpet will last a lot longer than a dirty one will and, with money tight, it only makes economical sense “to clean instead of replace.”

Harry was certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration (IICRC) after receiving the Institute's excellent training.

Harry also completed a course in "color correction" and can remove a variety of stains for you. Ask about it.

Representatives of the Environmental Protection Agency have stated that "Every time carpets and fabrics are emptied of their soil and pollution build-up through professional cleaning methods, there is a health benefit."

Allison's Professional Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning recognize that you want your carpet to look better, smell clean and fresh, and to dry quickly.

Their cleaning program will measure up to appearance improvement, health and freshness goals.

Allison's Professional Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning can handle many carpet and upholstery problems. Allison's equipment employs the latest technology, both from a cleaning performance and safety perspective.

Allison's Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning offers experience, state-of-the-art equipment and free estimates.

Reasons why people have their carpet cleaned: House cleaning; kids are

Professional hot water extraction "steam" cleaning restores and renovates the appearance of your carpeting. It makes it look better and smell better.

Yet, there is another extremely important reason you should have your carpets professionally cleaned - your family's health.

That's right, a cleaner carpet contributes to a healthier home environment.

O.K., my carpet needs a complete cleaning. What do I do now?

Let's face it. Good vacuuming habits and do-ityourself cleaning methods are very effective for most dry soil and dirt. But oily soil from cooking vapors, air pollution and grease tracked in from outside present different problems, and can cause fiber damage and significant dulling of colors. It's not that your color is lost - it's just under this dirty film buildup, and

the pile has matted together.

Overall cleaning of the carpet should be considered every 12 to 18 months, depending on: 1) the lifestyle in the household; 2) frequency of vacuuming; and 3) whether the carpet is a light or dark color.

Overall cleaning should be often enough that the carpet is not allowed to become excessively soiled.

Professional carpet cleaners will help keep your carpet fresher, brighter and newer looking longer. Any cleaning system is only as good as the person operating the equipment.

After discussing the type cleaning you have chosen for your carpet with the cleaning company, you may wish to ask for name, phone number and date of his/her last three cleaning jobs for references concerning quality of work performed.

Allison's Professional Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning can handle many carpet and upholstery problems. If Harry is unable to handle a problem he has access to technical hot lines.

Allison's equipment

Harry Allison owns and operates Allison’s Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning. In addition to carpet cleaning, Allison's specializes in water damage service and restoration. Make your carpetsa last longer by keeping them clean.

employs the latest technology, both from a cleaning performance and safety perspective.

Tile and Grout Cleaning Allison's Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning now offers expert tile cleaning with their Hydro-Force SX•12 tile and grout cleaner. Routine care and cleaning of tile and grout involves many decisions about what to use and how to use it.

Another important element of tile and stone care has to do with identifying the extent of cleaning needed. There's a significant difference between routine cleaning and something that goes beyond the average job. Routine cleaning has to do with removing everyday dirt.

In addition to creating poor aesthetics, dirt particles can scratch the flooring surface. That's why routine tile and stone care starts with dusting or dry mopping regularly to remove dirt particles.

For routine cleaning, it's important to not only know what to use, but what to avoid. To this day, some cleaning professionals mistakenly believe that it's OK to use products like vinegar, bleach, ammonia and

general purpose cleaners or abrasive cleansers on tile and stone flooring. Those products should be avoided because they can erode stone, grout and some types of tile, and can strip sealers, leaving an unprotected surface susceptible to staining.

Instead of using general-purpose products for routine cleaning, it's important to use pH-neutral cleaners specifically formulated for tile or stone.

Recommended for daily use, these products are chemically balanced to effectively remove a variety of material without damaging the tile or stone. Some are available as a wipe for easy cleaning of tile counter tops and other relatively small areas.

Regular use of these

cleaners prevents a buildup of dirt, scum and other deposits that can compromise the floor's natural beauty. These products also require no rinsing.

For routine cleaning of porous natural stone and grout joints, an ideal product is one that cleans and seals in the same application. This advanced technology removes dirt and adds a water- and oil-repellent sealer that protects the surface from staining and makes it easier to keep clean.

The light sealer also helps extend the protection achieved when the tile or stone is originally sealed.

Professional water damage service and restoration If you suffer water damage you should call Allison's Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning immediately - the quicker, the better.

Shut off the water source and safeguard against safety hazards like slips, falls and electrical shock. Turn off the circuit breakers if necessary. Promote area airflow and move furniture off of the wet carpet while you wait for Allison's to arrive. They will take care of it from there.

Allison's Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning offers experience, state-of-the-art equipment and free estimates.

Please phone 625-2779 for more information.

They hope to serve you now and in the future.

Other services that Allison's Professional Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning provide are: • Color Correction for stains caused by urine, food dye, coffee, etc.; • Certified emergency water-damage service and water damage restoration; • After cleaning, they can apply Dupont Teflon™ to protect your carpets and upholstery; • Carpet Repair; • Pressure Washing, and Clean Oil Spots on driveways; • Tile and Grout Cleaning; • Grout Sealing; • Vehicle Upholstery and Carpet Cleaning; and • Commercial Carpet Cleaning.

FARMINGTON (AP) — A T ibbetts Middle School teacher is headed to the East Coast to represent New Mexico in the 2011 Presidential Academy, a revered program helping teachers bring history into the classrooms.

Robert Thomas, a seventh-grade social studies and leadership instructor, is one of 60 U.S. teachers to participate in the more than two-week-long excursion starting July 10. The

all-expense paid trip leads the educators through Philadelphia, Gettysburg and Washington, D.C., with each city highlighting pivotal tur ning points in American history.

“I’m excited to go see the sites, of course, but I’m most excited about meeting other teachers from around the country,” Thomas told the Far mington Daily Times.

The academy functions as a source for teachers,

running workshops, discussions and hands-on experiences that build educators’ perspectives on their own lessons.

“It’s not just reading and analyzing those documents.

It’s figuring out how they came about,” said Thomas, who noted that this year’s academy will center around three documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream”

Fire

Forest burned about 84,580 acres and the McDonald Fire in southeast New Mexico burned about 92,000 acres in 2006, said State Forestry spokesman Dan Ware.

Donaldson Fire officials said Monday that firefighters were stationed throughout the where perimeter accessible and where flames were active.

Crews were monitoring, patrolling and protecting structures.

“Everything is looking good. They are doing burnouts and tightening up those perimeter lines,” said Dusty Romero, a fire spokeswoman.

Smoke may drift into Ruidoso Downs, Ruidoso, Hondo and surrounding communities.

Pensions

will affect more than 80,000 state workers, public school employees and college faculty. The higher pension contributions do not apply to workers making less than $20,000 a year.

Legislative supporters of the measure say the financial squeeze on workers is being eased a bit because the federal gover nment reduced its Social Security withholding tax on employees by 2 percent during 2011.

However, the state’s fiscal year — and the higher pension contributions — run through June 2012 and it’s possible they will remain in effect an additional year if state revenues don’t improve.

The same new law will continue a similar 1.5 percent pension swap through June 2013. That contribution change was enacted in 2009 as a temporary budget-balancing move to save the state almost $43 million annually. For a state agency worker earning an average of $42,000 a year, the 1.5 percent pension contribution swap has lowered their takehome pay by about $600, according to the Legislative Finance Committee.

Rep. Luciano “Lucky” Varela, a Santa Fe Democrat and vice chairman of the committee, said he hoped state revenues will rebound in the coming year so lawmakers can reverse the pension swaps during the 2012 legislative session.

Another new law will cut costs of the unemployment program by trimming certain benefits. Previously, jobless workers received an extra $25 for each of four dependents.

Thomas said he wants his students to realize how historical events relate to today’s world.

Tibbetts principal Karen Brown said Thomas “is a dynamic educator with remarkable energy.”

Thomas has been a teacher for only three years; before that, he opened hotels throughout the nation. His father is a for mer principal at a Durango high school, and Thomas remembers his

father tried to connect with students.

Thomas enrolled at San Juan College, where he acquired his teaching certificate. He has personally introduced his students to New Mexico politicians such as Sen. Jeff Bingaman, Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, and Gov. Susana Martinez.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jane Scott, a rock music critic who followed everyone from the Beatles to Britney Spears during a long career that continued into her 80s, has died.

She was 92.

The Plain Dealer, where Scott worked for a halfcentury, reported that a niece, Linda Scott, said her aunt died early Monday following a long illness. The newspaper did not say where Jane Scott died.

Small in statur e and always wearing her signature red plastic eyeglasses, Jane Scott was a fixture on the Cleveland rock music scene from the mid1960s until she retired in 2002, befor e her 83r d birthday.

She would be seen at shows carrying a large purse filled with her arsenal of concert gear — including earplugs and extra pens in case the star pocketed one to sign autographs — and wearing her backstage pass pinned to her lapel. That way, “if anyone tries to take it, they’d have to tear my blouse off,” she said.

Scott was born in Cleveland and was a 1941 graduate of the University of Michigan, wher e she majored in English and drama. Her first day at The Plain Dealer was

Mar ch 24, 1952, thr ee days after Cleveland’s Moondog Coronation Ball, consider ed the world’s first rock concert.

She began as a society writer, penning columns for teens and senior citizens. It was the Beatles who changed her career and life, though she was more than 20 years older than most of their fans.

“The Beatles came here on Sept. 15, 1964, and naturally I went,” Scott told The Associated Press when she retired. “I wasn’t assigned to it, but I went and I realized — well you would have realized it, too — that a whole new world had opened up for the kids.”

Becoming The Plain Dealer’s rock writer, Scott was the only woman at the news conference when the Beatles returned to Cleveland in 1966. She would later cover a Who’s Who of rock royalty, including the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin and David Bowie.

The Doors’ Jim Morrison once invited her backstage for a beer.

When Bruce Springsteen played Cleveland in 1975, Scott’s review predicted, “He will be the next superstar.”

At the time of her retirement, the then-octogenarian r ock critic said she

knew better than to talk about her beat with her old friends from the University of Michigan.

“What are they going to say if I talk about Britney Spears? They’ve never heard of her,” Scott said.

The funeral would be held in Ann Arbor, Mich., The Plain Dealer reported, with a memorial service to come later in Cleveland.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS FARRAR IS FIRST AMERICAN TO WIN STAGE ON JULY 4

REDON, France (AP) — Two months ago, Tyler Farrar was demoralized, sleeping 20 hours a day. He had even stopped riding, overcome by sorrow after his best friend died in a crash at the Giro d’Italia.

On Monday, Farrar became the first American to win a stage of the Tour de France on the Fourth of July.

It was the first time he had won a stage in cycling’s showcase race, and he dedicated the victory to the late Wouter Weylandt of Belgium.

“It’s a little bit unbelievable to me at the moment that it actually happened,” said Farrar, who pulled out of the Giro after the accident.

After crossing the finish line, Farrar held up his hands to form a “W” with his fingers and thumbs in tribute to Weylandt.

“This has been a horrible last two months with everything that happened in the Giro,” Farrar said. “I’ve had a lot of ups and downs. But in the end, I wanted to be able to come back, and do something special to pay tribute, and this is certainly the biggest stage in the world to do that.”

Farrar, a sprint specialist from Wenatchee, Wash., who rides for GarminCervelo, sped ahead in the last few hundred yards of the 123-mile course from Olonne-sur-Mer to Redon to win the third stage. He has now won a stage in each of cycling’s three-week major tours — France, Italy and Spain.

The previous American to win a Tour de France stage was Levi Leipheimer, who in 2007 was first in the individual time trial in Angouleme.

“I certainly would have taken it on any day,” Farrar said. “But as an American, winning on the Fourth of July, it’s the icing on the cake. ... Lucky me.”

Norway’s Thor Hushovd kept the Tour de France’s yellow jersey. Hushovd, however, is a sprint specialist and is not expected to hold his lead through the mountains in the second and third weeks.

WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Until Sunday, Novak Djokovic never managed to win a grass-court tournament of any sort, let alone Wimbledon.

Until Sunday, Djokovic never was able to beat Rafael Nadal in a Grand Slam match, let alone a final.

Until this marvelous — and nearly perfect — year, Djokovic was very good. Now he’s great.

After outrunning, outswinging and, for stretches, dominating defending champion Nadal, winning 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 for his first title at the All England Club and third major championship overall, Djokovic crouched on Center Court, reached down, plucked some blades of grass and shoved them in his mouth.

“I felt like an animal. I wanted to see how it tastes.

It tastes good,” Djokovic said later, his eyes wide and his smile contagious. “It came spontaneously, really. I did not plan to do it. I didn’t know what to do for my excitement and joy.”

Putting together one of the best seasons by any athlete in any sport in recent memory, Djokovic is 48-1 with eight titles in 2011, including major trophies from the Australian Open and Wimbledon. On Monday, he will rise from No. 2 to No. 1 in the ATP rankings, overtak-

1968 — Australia’s Rod Laver wins the first open Wimbledon tennis championship, defeating countryman Tony Roche 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Laver becomes the first player since Fred Perry (1934-36) to win the men’s title three straight times.

1993 — Rickey Henderson of the Oakland Athletics opens both games of a doubleheader with a homer to become the first player to accomplish the feat in 60 years.

Hingis comes back for a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Jana Novotna.

ing Nadal, a switch that was guaranteed by virtue of Djokovic’s victory in the semifinals Friday.

“I want to win more Grand Slams,” said Djokovic, the first man since Andre Agassi in 1992 to win his first grass title at Wimbledon. “I will not definitely stop here, even though I have achieved (the)

two biggest things in my life in three days.”

Which, perhaps, is why he engaged in such a lengthy and original celebration, even tossing several rackets into the stands, the sort of crowd-pleasing gesture for which Djokovic (it’s pronounced JOE-ko-vich) long has been known.

Indeed, early in his career, Djokovic stood out less for his shot-making than for his showmanship — check out his spot-on impersonations of other pros, including Nadal, on YouTube — and a hard-to-explain propensity for losing, or even quitting during, late-round matches at majors.

Right now, though, the 24-year-old from Serbia is the total package, with the bona fides to prove it.

He credits a handful of factors with helping him truly excel recently: more maturity; confidence from helping Serbia win its first

NEW YORK (AP) — Joey Chestnut scarfed down 62 hot dogs to win his fifth consecutive Fourth of July hot dog eating contest at Coney Island — the equivalent of about 20,000 calories in 10 minutes.

It wasn’t a personal best for the 27-year -old nicknamed Jaws, but it was enough to out-eat secondplace finisher Patrick Bertoletti by nine wieners.

Chestnut, of San Jose, Calif., won $10,000 and the coveted mustard-yellow belt.

“I feel great!” he said after the contest, adding that he was going to drink a lot of water and avoid hot dogs for a few days.

Chestnut started at a blistering pace but couldn’t beat his own record of 68 “because I kept messing

up,” he said, pausing for a burp. “Excuse me,” he told reporters squeezed around him.

Bertoletti, of Chicago, won $5,000, and thirdplace contestant T im Janus, of New York, won $2,500.

This year, for the first time, the annual contest in front of Nathan’s Famous fast-food stand was broken into two divisions, one for men and one for women.

Sonya Thomas, known as the “Black Widow” of competitive eating, won with 40 downed dogs, earning her $10,000 and her own pink champion’s belt.

“I’m so happy!” said Thomas, of Alexandria, Va. She started out neckand-neck with secondplace finisher Juliet Lee but later pulled ahead.

Invaders beat Osos

Roswell plated seven runs in the seventh inning to climb out of a 6-5 hole and continued their march up the Pecos League standings with a 12-8 win over Ruidoso at Joe Bauman Stadium, Monday.

After scoring the first five runs of the game, Roswell fell behind 6-5 after Ruidoso posted three runs in the top half of the seventh.

The Osos’ lead didn’t last long.

Roswell batted around in its half of the seventh, collecting seven runs on seven hits to reclaim the lead at 12-8.

Joey Friedman led off the inning with a single and scored the Invaders’ first run of the inning on Joel Carranza’s throwing error.

Justin Uribe drove in the next two with a single that scored Trivon Howard and Kevin Hoef, and Uribe himself would come around to score two batters later on Adrian Martinez’s single.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — Nick Watney capped off an amazing weekend at Aronimink to win the AT&T National on Sunday, moving him to No. 10 in the world and atop the PGA Tour money list for the first time in his career.

Watney closed with a 4under 66 on a steamy afternoon in the Philadelphia suburbs, making three big par saves and three birdies on the front nine to seize control, then holding off a late charge by K.J. Choi for a two-shot victory.

And to think that with only 27 holes left in the tournament, Watney was trying to keep from getting left behind. Ten birdies, an eagle and no bogeys later, he was posing with the silver trophy of a Liberty Bell and wondering how much better he could get.

“It’s a very addictive feeling to be out there and under the gun,” said Watney, who had a 62-66 weekend at Aronimink. “To be able to hit good shots and putts is why I play, really.”

Watney finished on 13under 267, tying the tournament record by T iger Woods in 2009 when it was played at Congressional.

The tournament is scheduled to return to Congres-

Charles Howell III earned quite a consolation prize.

He played bogey-free in the final round for a 6-under 66 to tie for third with Adam Scott (68) and Jeff Overton (67). That made him eligible for the British Open in two weeks as the top finisher from the top

five who wasn’t already exempt.

Rickie Fowler, who shared the lead with Watney going into the final round, had another learning experience. He fell out of the hunt early with a double bogey on the second hole and closed with a 74 to tie for 13th.

Ruidoso got to within four with two in the ninth, but could get no closer off Invaders closer Anthony Carrillo.

Grantiz gave up two

“We all know the careers of Nadal and Federer. ...

They have been the two most dominant players in the world the last five years.

They have won most of the majors,” Djokovic said. “So sometimes it did feel a little bit frustrating when you kind of get to the later stages of a Grand Slam — meaning last four, last eight — and then you have to meet them. They always come up with their best tennis when it matters the most. ... I always believed that I have (enough) quality to beat those two guys.”

Nadal at Grand Slam tournaments entering Sunday — including retirements from a 2006 French Open quarterfinal and 2007 Wimbledon semifinal.

A more significant headto-head record, though, is one both men acknowledged played a role Sunday: Remarkably, Djokovic is 5-0 against Nadal this year, all in tournament finals, two on hard courts, two on clay courts, and now one on grass.

“When one player beat you five times, (it’s) because today my game don’t bother him a lot,” Nadal said after his 20-match Wimbledon winning streak ended.

“Probably, the mental part is little bit dangerous for me.”

That showed at the first key point, 40 minutes into

the final. Djokovic led 5-4, but neither player was having the least bit of trouble holding serve. Nadal went up 30-love in that 10th game, but Djokovic then won four consecutive points to claim the first set.

Djokovic ran away with the second set, by doing precisely what Nadal has to so many opponents: sprinting to chase down apparent winners and get them back over the net, extending the point. According to the AP’s tally, Djokovic won 18 of the match’s 28 points that lasted 10 strokes or more.

Djokovic’s forehand was mostly on-target. He hit 22 winners and only four unforced errors through two sets, and never faced a break point — or even was taken to deuce — on his

Roswell Daily Record serve during that span.

But there was no way it could continue to be that easy, both because Djokovic simply couldn’t sustain that level of spectacular play forever, and because the resilient Nadal wasn’t likely to pack it in.

As gray clouds began to gather overhead, shutting out the azure sky, Nadal picked up his game.

Nadal broke twice in that set, the second time when Djokovic contributed his lone double-fault of the afternoon, and suddenly it appeared that things were more competitive. As it turned out, the third set was merely a half-hour aberration during a 2 1 ⁄ 2 -hour coronation, because Djokovic regained the upper hand.

He led 4-3 in the fourth set when Nadal played a shaky game, double-faulting, pushing a backhand wide, then slapping a forehand into the net on an 11stroke point that Djokovic kept alive by sliding into position and nearly doing the splits while hitting a backhand.

That gave Djokovic three break points, and on the second, Nadal missed a backhand on the 15th stroke.

Now with a chance to serve it out, Djokovic was cool and composed — and even a little crafty, playing serve-and-volley for only the third time all match. His backhand volley gave him a championship point, and Djokovic converted it when Nadal sent a backhand long.

Space shuttle’s legacy: Soaring in orbit and costs Roswell Daily Record

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The space shuttle was sold to America as cheap, safe and reliable. It was none of those.

It cost $196 billion over 40 years, ended the lives of 14 astronauts and managed to make less than half the flights promised.

Yet despite all that, there were some big achievements that weren’t promised: major scientific advances, stunning photos of the cosmos, a high-flying vehicle of diplomacy that helped bring Cold War enemies closer, and something to brag about.

Former President George H.W. Bush, who oversaw the early flights, said the shuttle program “authored a truly inspiring chapter in the history of human exploration.”

NASA’s first space shuttle flight was in April 1981.

The 135th and final launch is set for July 8. Once Atlantis lands at the end of a 12-day mission, it and the other two remaining shuttles are officially museum pieces — more expensive than any paintings.

America has done far more for far less. The total price tag for the program was more than twice the $90 billion NASA originally calculated.

The nation spent more on the space shuttle than the combined cost of soaring to the moon, creating the atom bomb, and digging the Panama Canal, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using figures from NASA and the Smithsonian Institution and adjusting for inflation.

Even its most ardent supporters concede that the shuttle program never lived up to its initial promise. The selling point when it was conceived four decades ago was that with weekly launches, getting into space would be relatively inexpensive and safe.

That wasn’t the case.

“But there is no embarrassment in setting the bar impossibly high and then failing to clear it,” said former astronaut Duane Carey, who flew in 2002.

“What matters is that we strived mightily to do so — and we did strive mightily.

The main legacy left by the shuttle program is that of a magnificent failure.”

Of the five shuttles built, two were lost in fiery tragedies. The most shuttle flights taken in one year was nine — far from the promised 50.

The program also managed to make blasting into

gram reaf fir med, once again, American dominance in space and laid the foundation for the United States to continue its long-standing leadership beyond our home planet,” NASA Administrator and former shuttle commander Charles Bolden wrote in an email.

“The shuttle program evolved over its lifetime and gave us many firsts and many proud national moments, along with painful lessons.”

University of Colorado science policy professor Roger Pielke Jr., who studies shuttle costs and policies, said there are probably other ways the country could have spent several billion dollars a year on a human space program and gotten more.

Launching like a rocket and landing like an airplane, the shuttle was the ultimate hybrid. It acts both as a space taxi, carrying astronauts, and has the muscle of a long-distance trucker, hauling heavy machinery. That versatility translated into higher costs.

When spaceships carry people, extra safety requirements add hefty expenses. Rockets that haul big pieces of equipment — like station segments or a giant telescope — require more power and fuel, which means more cost. The shuttle has both of those problems that escalate the price.

When the shuttle succeeded, it did so in a spectacular way. But its failures were also large and tragic.

Seven astronauts perished when Challenger exploded about a minute after launch in 1986 and seven more died when Columbia burned up as it returned to Earth in 2003.

One out of every 67 flights ended in death — a fatality rate that would make the most ardent daredevil cringe.

Based on deaths per million miles traveled, the space shuttle is 138 times riskier than a passenger jet.

For mer astronaut and past NASA associate administrator Scott Horowitz said, “While the shuttle is the most magnificent engineering feat, its complexity and the naive belief that it would be as safe as an airliner was its Achilles heel.”

One problem is that the shuttle was a compromise from start to finish, said Howard McCurdy, a professor at American University and author of several books on the space agency. The shuttle had to satisfy both NASA and the Department of Defense, which dictated the exact shape of its wings and the size of its payload bay, said Roger Launius, senior curator at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

The concept behind it was based on a three-step

space plan, ultimately ending on Mars, said George Mueller, the former top official who is credited as the father of the space shuttle program. To get to Mars, NASA needed a space station circling Earth as a jumping-off point. To get to the space station, NASA wanted a completely reusable space shuttle.

In 1971, President Nixon gave NASA only the shuttle.

It had no place to go. The space station wasn’t built until 1998.

Worst of all, Mueller said, was that the plan to make every part of the shuttle fully reusable was dropped.

Budget cuts ordered by the Nixon White House meant that the fuel tank would be jettisoned with each flight and the boosters would fall into the ocean after launch and have to be retrieved and refurbished extensively.

Those changes made to save upfront money, while they sound small, meant adding incredible expense to every flight, Mueller said in an interview.

The shuttle will likely go down in history as an anomaly of America’s space program. The spacecraft before it were disposable capsules, like Apollo. And the designs for machines of the near future are also for the most part disposable capsules. That suggests that the 30 years of reusable shuttles that landed like airplanes were a diversion from the natural evolution of rocketry, said McCurdy.

It may be an anomaly, but astronauts call it an engineering marvel in both versatility and complexity.

John Glenn, who flew in a Mercury capsule as well as the shuttle, called it “the perfect vehicle for its time.”

He said like any pilot he’d prefer to fly the shuttle and called it a much smoother ride. But he said he understands why the future looks more like his Mercury capsules.

“As far as expense, simplification and cutting costs, the capsule is by far cheaper,” the 89-year -old former senator said in a telephone interview from his Columbus, Ohio, office on Friday.

“The shuttle is an amazing piece of machinery,” astronaut Stan Love said.

“It blows away anything that can fly now or in the next 30 years.”

Love retells a joke heard often around NASA: The space shuttle was supposed to be cheap, safe and turn spaceflight into something so routine it would be boring. One out of three ain’t bad.

gation reservoirs on farms from Roswell to Artesia using teams of horses and fresnoes. In 1940, at 18 years of age, he married Vera Lee Hefner at the Chaves County Courthouse. In 1945, he moved his wife and daughter to Floyd, where he rented his parents’ farm and farmed for two years before moving back to the Pecos Valley.

After moving to Roswell in April 1947, he bought a set of carpenter’s tools and embarked on a new occupation that he followed for the next 38 years. He worked for Brackeen Construction Co. for 30 years, serving as foreman more than 20. He supervised the construction of custom homes in the Roswell area, in Artesia, Carrizozo, Ruidoso, Tatum and on numerous far ms and ranches in the surrounding area as well as the housing and shop buildings for the fish hatchery on the Apache Reservation at Mescalero; commercial buildings including the Broadmoor Shopping Center, Roswell Chamber of Commerce building, Valley Bank of Commerce, Fire Station No. 3 on North Garden, Wise Choice Real Estate Office, Fat Man’s Beef Jerky, the Roswell Girl’s Club, the Carrizozo Elementary School and the

Carrizozo Fire Station.

Upon retirement in 1987, Henry and Vera traveled extensively, towing a series of travel trailers through almost every state in the nation, visiting museums and various family members from both sides of their extended family. They established a tradition of spending the month of August each year camping in the Mayhill area, where they made many new friends.

When Henry and Vera moved to Roswell in 1947, they established membership in North Hill Church of Christ, which would later become West Alameda Church of Christ. They both remained active members of this congregation as long as their health permitted.

He is survived by one brother Wendell Lusk and his wife Reva, and one sister Corine Lusk Buckelew, both of Medford, Ore. Also surviving are two children, Helen Lusk McDonald and her husband Louis, of Roswell; their three sons, Ceyl and Cara McDonald, of Bandera, Texas; Kelly and Angela McDonald and their children, Kate and Jack; and Chris and Lisa McDonald and son Justin, all of Roswell.

His son, Earl Lusk and

his wife Betty, and their two sons, Jeremy and Kim Lusk, and daughters, Natalie and Brenna; and Josh and Kelli Lusk and son Kaleb are all Roswell residents.

Henry was preceded in death by his wife Vera; his parents; eight brothers, Elvin Lusk, Wesley Lusk, Arthur Lusk, Wilbur n Lusk, Ernest Harris, Travis Harris, Dennis Harris and Lewis Harris; seven sisters, Roma Lusk Smith, Lillian Lusk Evans, Belma Lusk, Leora Harris Meyers, Inez Lusk Campbell, Birdie Lusk and T ressie Lusk Crossland.

Memorial services are scheduled for 10 a.m., Tuesday, July 5, 2011, at West Alameda Church of Christ with burial following immediately in South Park Cemetery. His five grandsons and one great-grandson will serve as pallbearers.

The family is grateful to the staff of La Villa Assisted Living and Memory Care of Roswell, for the care and attention Henry has received in recent months.

Friends and family wishing to make donations in his memory are asked to send contributions to the New Mexico Christian Children’s Home, 1356 NM Hwy 236, Portales, NM 88130.

The shuttle’s epitaph is “we tried,” said Hans Mark, a for mer deputy NASA administrator who oversaw most of the first dozen launches.

Six years ago, then-NASA chief Michael Griffin even called the shuttle program a mistake.

But as a mistake it is one that paid off in wildly unexpected ways that weren’t about money and reliability.

“The discoveries it enabled, the international cooperation it fostered and the knowledge it gained — often at great human cost — has also contributed in countless, important ways to humanity and our common progress,” President Bush wrote The Associated Press in an email. Bush oversaw the program’s early days as vice president, a job that has by tradition supervised NASA. There are the magnificent photos from the Hubble Space Telescope, which helped pinpoint the age of the universe and demonstrated the existence of mysterious dark energy; the ongoing labwork on the International Space Station; a multitude of satellites for everything from spying to climate change; and spacecraft that explore ernacle Baptist Church of Roswell, assisting. Military services will be presented by the Veteran Honor Guard. Burial will be in Memory Lawn Memorial Park.

Donald Mayes was born Aug. 5, 1930, in Roswell to Thomas H. and Sara Mast Mayes. He married Lessie F. Fisher in Roswell on Jan. 6, 1962. Both his parents and his wife preceded him in death. He was also preceded in death by three brothers, Neil Leon, Sonny Boy and Cleo Mayes.

Mayes was a Navy veteran. He was a cable splicer for Mountain Bell Telephone, which later became U. S. West Telephone Company, for over 34 years. He was a member of the Roswell Masonic Lodge #18 and the Hondo Masonic Lodge #74.

Survivors are three brothers, Mel Mayes, of Roswell, Vernon Mayes, of Dumas, Texas, and Jimmy Mayes, of Dexter; three sisters, Nora Beatrice George, of Kileen, Mavis Wilson, of Lufkin, Texas, and Melva Graveline, of Roswell; and many nieces and nephews.

the solar system. All owe their existence to the space shuttle.

The Hubble was not just launched from the shuttle — it was repaired and upgraded five times by shuttle astronauts. They also captured and fixed satellites in orbit.

Earlier this year, shuttle astronauts installed a $2 billion particle physics experiment on the space station that may find evidence of dark matter and better explain aspects of how the universe was formed. Add the intangibles of near continuous American presence in space over three decades and a highflying venue for both international diplomacy and school science lessons.

Like a real life version of the television show “Star T rek,” the shuttle was a United Nations in space, carrying representatives of 16 other countries. The U.S. and Russia became close partners in space and Russian rocket scientists after the breakup of the Soviet Union found new employment. NASA’s current boss said all that is not something that should be ignored. The shuttle also diversified space to make it seem more like Earth, sending the first American woman, the first AfricanAmerican and teachers, lawmakers and even a former migrant farmworker into orbit.

Henry Lusk passed away on June 30, 2011, at the age of 89. Henry was born Oct. 30, 1921, on the family farm just outside Hagerman, becoming the 12th child in a very unique family. Both his parents were widowed at the time of their marriage. Henry was the first of six children born to this blended family. At the time of his birth he joined four halfbrothers and two halfsisters from his dad’s side of the family, the children of Oliver and Sina Lusk. There were four halfbrothers and one halfsister from his mother’s side, the children of Florence and Allen Harris.

At the age of 16, he left home, joining his oldest brother doing farm work, digging earthen tanks on ranches, and building irri-

3-D helps lift ‘Transformers’ to $400M global haul

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The “Transformers” robots have put their 3-D ticket-price advantage to good use.

Distributor Paramount Pictures estimated Monday that “T ransformers: Dark of the Moon” pulled in $116.4 million domestically over the four-day Fourth of July weekend and $181.1 million since opening Tuesday night.

Director Michael Bay’s third installment in the sci-fi franchise has added $217 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to nearly $400 million.

The studio says 60 percent of domestic business came from premium-priced 3-D admissions, which cost a few dollars more than 2-D screenings.

Overseas, 3-D admissions accounted for 70 percent of ticket sales.

That’s a good sign for Hollywood’s 3-D business, which had waned as 3-D revenues dipped to 50 percent or less of the total for some recent releases.

“It proves that for 3-D to be

successful, it has to be attached to the right kind of movie. This was this monumental Michael Bay blockbuster, and for something like that, people felt it’s worth the money,” said Paul Dergarabedian, analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “It’s all about maintaining good quality.

If they see three 3-D movies in a row that look terrible, they’re not going to put the money down again.”

The previous weekend’s No. 1 movie, the animated adventure “Cars 2,” slipped steeply in its second weekend with $32.1 million domestically, the movie losing steam more quickly than past features from Disney’s Pixar Animation outfit.

“Cars 2” raised its domestic total to $123 million and topped $200 million worldwide.

The weekend’s other new wide releases opened back in the pack. Universal Pictures’ recession romance “Larry Crowne” opened quietly at No. 4 with $15.7 million despite the star power of writer -director

Legals

Tom Hanks and co-star Julia Roberts. The movie stars Hanks as a downsized retail worker who heads back to school, where he falls for his publicspeaking teacher (Roberts).

While “Transformers” and “Cars 2” played to young audiences, the over -35 crowd accounted for 81 percent of the audience for “Larry Crowne.”

Movies appealing to older audiences tend to stick around longer in theaters, and Universal executives hope fans will seek out the movie once Fourth of July festivities are behind them.

“For adults who are always preoccupied with barbecues and entertaining and family, my expectations were never greater than this,” said Nikki Rocco, the studio’s head of distribution.

The 20th Century Fox romantic romp “Monte Carlo” opened a weak No. 6 with $8.8 million. The movie stars Selena Gomez, Katie Cassidy and Leighton Meester as American travelers who get the princess

treatment in Monaco after Gomez impersonates a European heiress.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Monday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included.

Final domestic figures will be released Tuesday.

1. “Transformers: Dark of the Moon,” $116.4 million ($217 million international).

2. “Cars 2,” $32.1 million ($24.4 million international).

3. “Bad Teacher,” $17.6 million.

4. “Larry Crowne,” $15.7 million.

5. “Super 8,” $9.5 million.

6. “Monte Carlo,” $8.8 million.

7. “Green Lantern,” $8 million.

8. “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” $6.9 million.

9. “Bridesmaids,” $4.4 million ($7.2 million international).

10. “Midnight in Paris,” $4.3 million.

DEAR ABBY: The letter from “Turned Off in Texas” (May 18) caught my attention. While I agree that putting a toilet brush in the dishwasher with the dishes was unexpected and off-putting — we don’t ever want to link the toilet with our food — I think your answer showed a little overreaction. Running the dishes in another cycle should take care of any concerns as long as the water is hot.

Studies have shown that the inside of the average public toilet bowl is not as bacteria-laden as a public drinking fountain.

Our disgust is emotional, not likely fact-based. As I told a colleague during his wife’s baby shower, you have to believe in the power of soap and water or you won’t survive parenthood.

While it’s worthwhile for “Turned Off” to tell his stepdaughter that this practice is unacceptable to him, it is no reason not to eat at her house — unless she’s not cooking food properly.

FACTS OVER EMOTION IN MIAMI

DEAR FACTS: Thank you for your letter.

Frankly, I was as grossed out by what “Turned Off” saw his stepdaughter do as he was. So it surprised me to find that many of my readers weren’t as affected by the “ew” factor.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

Read on:

DEAR ABBY: It’s possible that what “Turned Off” perceived to be a toilet brush was never used for cleaning a toilet. I bought a brand-new toilet scrubber to keep under the kitchen sink. I use it only for cleaning the garbage disposal. Afterward, I wash it in the sink, not the dishwasher. Let’s give the stepdaughter the benefit of the doubt. Things are not always what they appear to be.

NOT DISGUSTED IN ARCADIA, CALIF. DEAR ABBY: I can top the letter from the gentleman who said his stepdaughter, after cleaning his house when his wife fell ill, put the toilet brush in the dishwasher. My daughter has a close friend who told her she and her husband put the cat’s

Dear Heloise:

Just wanted to weigh in on the discussion about PUSHY SALESPEOPLE. I work in a retail crafts store, where it is company policy to greet every customer at the door and ask if the person needs help, directions to a certain department or assistance in any way. We are instructed to take the customer — not to send him or her — to the department.

The other thing we are asked to learn how to do is read a customer. Some just want to get what they came for and get out quickly; others want to browse, and may gather as they

litterbox in the dishwasher when they want to clean it. I was mortified, as was my daughter. You’d never guess it — she’s an otherwise cleanappearing person. Well, needless to say, we no longer eat at this woman’s home.

ANONYMOUS IN CONNECTICUT

DEAR ABBY: I clean houses for a living and I thought it was a smart way to wash that scrubber. The dishwasher uses scalding hot water that kills all germs. In addition, most toilet cleansers contain bleach, so there is little chance germs could survive on the brush. If you’re still concerned, you could run it through the dishwasher separately.

TERESA IN TENNESSEE

DEAR ABBY: I am a retired doctor. I have been in the Army, slept in the woods and eaten three-day-old food — so I know a little bit about germs. The hot water and soap will take care of any bacteria on the brush. (It’s unaesthetic, but not unsanitary.) The brush will be as clean as your hands are when you wash them after using the toilet. I would be happy to eat off the plates that came out of that dishwasher.

Kathy in Utah

Thanks for another point of view. You are right — some people want to browse, some pick up an item and go, and others socialize if shopping with a friend.

Heloise #####

Dear Heloise: On four different occasions, the prescription for my high blood pressure was short several pills.

I called each time to report the shortage and received an apology. The last time I phoned to report the shortage, I was sent a full refill, free of charge.

But I doubt very many people count their pills each time.

It is imperative that people count to make sure they are getting the correct amount of medication. Please bring this matter to their attention. Thank you.

You are not the only reader to comment on this situation — over many years, too. Count your pills, folks! More comments? How about from pharmacists?

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: The other day, I was on a cleaning binge — outside, mostly. I changed out my disposable dusting pad for a clean one when I thought of using the old, dirty ones outside. I used one on the front door, on the glass, and on the vertical and horizontal bars that run on the glass. It certainly took off a lot of our dust and initial grime. It made it much easier to clean with a general cleanser.

Mary in San Antonio

Dear Heloise: My uncle lived in assisted living and complained about constant itching all over. Doctors gave him creams, which did little good. One day, I was taking sheets and towels out of his closet, and I noticed how sticky the towels felt. When doing his laundry, he was using too much detergent, which didn’t get well-rinsed. He started using the right amount, and the problem was solved.
