State employs voting system audit

TUESDAY

www.roswell-record.com

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico is implementing a more rigorous system for postelection random audits of voting machines to ensure ballots are accurately counted.

The auditing system is intended to provide statistically reliable results, which could potentially increase voter confidence in New Mexico’s elections. Hand tallies of ballots from random precincts will be compared with machine counts to provide evidence that the winners would be the same.

New Mexico uses paper ballots statewide, and electronic tabulators count most of the votes on Election Day. Provisional ballots are counted by hand after an election.

Starting with this year’s general election, the number of precincts to be audited will vary depending on the closeness of a race. More precincts will be checked in a very tight race.

Fewer precincts are selected for an audit when the margin between candidates is large.

The goal is to make certain there’s a high probability that errors will be detected if they could alter the outcome of a race, according to Paul Stokes of Corrales, a retired Sandia National Laboratories electrical engineer who was instrumental in designing the auditing system.

“The truth is that errors almost always will turn up in your sample that may or may not be meaningful,” said Stokes of United Voters of New Mexico. “So if you detect some errors, you then have to decide whether they are big enough to be concerned with them.”

The new system provides for auditing more precincts if there’s a high error rate in the initial sample. A full hand recount will be required if the high error rate persists after the additional

auditing.

Previously, New Mexico required postelection audits of 2 percent of voting machines. That was used in the 2008 elections, but was scrapped by a 2009 law providing for the new system.

The checks of voting tabulators will be done for races for all federal offices such as Congress, for governor and for another statewide office — the one with the smallest winning margin.

In the race for governor, Republican Susana Martinez won by slightly more than 7 percentage points, according to unofficial returns from the secretary of state’s office. State Court of Appeals Judge Robert Robles won by nearly 2 percentage points. The next closest statewide race was for land commissioner, which Democrat Ray Powell won by almost 5 percentage points.

Panel: Costs were not a factor in oil spill WASHINGTON (AP) — The BP oil rig explosion and spill wasn’t about anyone purposely trading money for safety, investigators on a special presidential commission said Monday. Instead it was more about seemingly acceptable risks adding up to disaster.

Investigators at the commission’s hearing outlined more than a dozen decisions that at the time seemed questionable but also explainable. It was how those cascaded and crashed together that fueled catastrophe.

Yet there was no evidence of a conscious decision on the BP rig to do things on the cheap at the

expense of safety, investigators stressed several times. Likewise, representatives of the companies involved in the disaster denied that corners were cut because of cost.

Critics — including a top academic, a congressman and people on the temporarily polluted Bayou — are balking at what they see as something close to a free pass for BP’s history of cost cutting. In the first nonpolitical and independent investigation of the disaster, commission officials say they aren’t excusing BP at all, but pointing out there was no clear single decision that came down solely to money.

Esperanza House safe place for kids, adults JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Sexual abuse is a complex subject for children and adults to talk about.

Since 1992, The Esperanza House has provided a safe and comfortable environment for people of all ages to do so.

Facilities at Esperanza House are tailored to make investigative interviews, on child sexual abuse cases, less intimidating for children.

Esperanza House is decorated in a manner that lets a child feel at home — literally.

When victims walk in, they will not be confronted with a hospital-like environment or clinic.

Instead, they will feel right at home. Esperanza

House’s main facility includes a living room, an area that resembles a child’s playroom, and several interview rooms.

There is also an observation of fice, where law enforcement and Esperanza staff can watch and piece together facts from their experience.

“We’re strictly doing interviews of child abuse victims,” Mike Turner, executive director of Esperanza House, Inc., said. Over the years, we’ve started to add other programs, like the SANE program.”

million and a half dollars a day, money enters in. All I am saying is human beings did not sit there and sell safety down the river for dollars on the rig that night,” said commission chief attorney Fred H. Bartlit Jr. That doesn’t mean that a general culture of cost cutting wasn’t an issue, added commission co-chairman Bob Graham, the former Florida senator and governor. Graham wrapped up the day by saying he was worried that there was “a compulsion to get this rig completed in that April 19-April 20 timetable.”

Roswell residents are preparing to show their gratitude for war veterans past and present on Thursday, Veterans Day, and into the weekend.

Events will kick off with a groundbreaking for the Chaves County Veterans War Memorial on the lawn of the Chaves County Courthouse. The project is expected to cost between $180,000 and $200,000 and will be a living memorial for people who served in a branch of the ar med forces.

The groundbreaking is slated for 11 a.m., Thursday at the courthouse. Residents interested in purchasing bricks for $100 should contact Doug Shaw at 624-6681.

A program honoring veterans will also take place at Goddard High School at 1:30 p.m. on Veterans Day, as well as an 8 a.m. breakfast for veterans at New Mexico Military Institute.

The annual Veterans Day Parade will take place Saturday and run north from the courthouse on North Main Street. Events begin at 10 a.m. and all veterans and city residents are invited and encouraged to attend.

Anyone interested in taking part in the parade should contact Rita KaneDoerhoefer, parade organizer, at 627-8292.

A portion of the procession will be led to NMMI’s Stapp Field to take part in its regimental parade at 11 a.m.

Obama touts ‘promise’ of India

NEW DELHI (AP) — Deepening America’s stake in Asian power politics, President Barack Obama on Monday endorsed India’s bid to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, hoping to elevate the nation of a billion people to “its rightful place in the world” alongside an assertive China.

Obama’s declaration, delivered to the pounding applause of India’s parliament members, spoke to a mission broader than the makeup of one global institution. By spending three packed days in India, announcing trade deals, dismissing job-outsourcing gripes and admonishing India’s rival Pakistan, Obama went all in for an ally whose support he hopes to bank on for years.

“I want every Indian citizen to know: The United States of America will not simply be cheering you on from the sidelines,” Obama said inside the soaring leg-

“When we’re talking to kids about what happen to them, the main thing we try to do is gather the facts — as they know it,” Turner said. “We assure them that this is not their fault ... they had no control over the situation.” awareness Raising among middle school, high school and college students is very important in this community, according to Turner, who sees many cases involving teens ages 13-18 and

And panel co-chairman William K. Reilly said in an interview after the hearing that BP does deserve a good share of blame: “A lot of the key decisions were in fact made by BP.” He said that while it might look as if the commission wasn’t concerned about the culture of cost cutting at BP, it will address that broader corporate problem in the future. Monday was more about what immediately led to the disaster.

Halliburton Co., which had the crucial job of cementing the well, was on the hotseat as much as BP on Monday, clashing more often with investigators than the oil company. And the commission still has not dealt with the blowout preventer, a key instrument, because it is still being examined. No written report was issued on Monday.

Bartlit, the panel’s chief investiga-

tor, revealed in a letter last month that testing on cement mixtures similar to those used in the well showed that the formula was unstable before the blowout, but BP and Halliburton used it anyway. Bartlit said the companies should have reconsidered the type of cement used in the well. Cement is an essential barrier to preventing blowouts.

Led by commission investigators, BP Vice President Mark Bly said Halliburton of ficials were slow about testing and results. Several times during the hearing, BP and commission investigators found themselves agreeing on blaming Halliburton.

So far, the inquiry into the April 20 rig explosion — which killed 11 workers and dumped 172 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico — is echoing investigations into past technological disasters, such as space shuttle explosions. If there is one large problem, it is the way that all sorts of small decisions

markets for U.S. products and potential help to counter terrorism and a warming planet. India fits Obama’s agenda perfectly because it is the world’s largest democracy and sits in the heart of a pivotal, vexing region.

The diplomacy in India also gave Obama a chance to reassert himself on the global stage, far from Washington in the aftermath after humbling congressional elections.

His final day in India began with a lavish welcome ceremony at the majestic palace residence of India’s president and ended there as Obama and his wife, Michelle, were toasted to a state dinner.

The capstone of Obama’s outreach here came when he announced support for India’s long push to achieve a permanent place on the Security Council, the elite body responsible for maintaining international peace. It underlined Obama’s contention that the partnership between the U.S. and India could have defining impact on both countries and the world.

“The just and sustainable international order that America seeks includes a United Nations that is efficient, effective, credible and legitimate,” Obama said as he called for India to be part of a reformed council.

Yet White House aides acknowledge any changes to the council could be messy and years in the making.

Attempts to expand the council have long failed because of rivalries between countries.

India considered Obama’s move to be an enormous coup regardless.

India is part of the so-called Group of Four, with Germany, Japan and Brazil, that has been seeking permanent seats as major economic and political powers. U.S. backing for a permanent seat for India is important, but officials here must also win support of the other vetowielding council members, and the General Assembly has to agree on reform plan.

The five permanent members of the Security Council are the U.S., China, France, the United Kingdom and Russia. The only other country the U.S. has endorsed for permanent membership is Japan.

become a cascade of failures that short-circuit normal safety features.

Not everyone agrees. One of the nation’s top technological disaster academics said the spill commission — appointed by President Barack Obama — was a “cover -up” from the White House. Charles Perrow, a Yale University professor who wrote the disaster sociology classic “Normal Accidents” said the investigation was overlooking BP’s track record of disasters that have come after cost cutting.

“There’s a long history of dollars versus safety at this organization,” Perrow said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. He referred specifically to BP’s 2005 Texas City oil refinery explosion in which federal officials cited a culture of cost-cutting at the expense of safety. In 2006, BP’s lack of leak detection caused a massive pipeline spill, the largest on Alaska’s North Slope to date.

Pakistan criticized Obama’s statement, accusing India of “blatant violations” of U.N. resolutions and calling on the U.S. to “take a moral view and not base itself on any temporary expediency or exigencies of power politics.” China has long objected to India’s proposed ascension to the council The dangerous tensions between neighboring Pakistan and India helped frame Obama’s trip. Pakistan is vitally important to Obama’ bid to root out terrorists and win the war in Afghanistan. But India is deeply suspicious of Pakistan and demanding a stronger crackdown on extremist elements within the country’s borders.

In another key gesture, Obama went further than he had earlier in addressing the terror threat inside Pakistan.

“We will continue to insist to Pakistan’s leaders that terrorist safe havens within their borders are unacceptable, and that the terrorists behind the Mumbai attacks be brought to justice,” the president said. He was referring to the 2008 attacks on the Indian financial hub that left 166 people dead at the hands of Pakistanibased extremists.

Burglaries reported

Police were called to the 300 block of North Main Street for two separate reports of vehicle burglary on Saturday. Custom Construction and Roofing had been helping with construction on Main Street and left a tractor there overnight. When employees returned on Saturday they discovered that the tractor battery, worth $244, an oil gauge, a temperature gauge and a weight gauge, each valued at $580 apiece, had been removed. A second incident occurred at the same address where a man left his vehicle rather than drive home. The victim’s stereo system, speakers, amplifier, two subwoofers, a spare tire and $20 in cash had been taken. The total value of items lost in the second incident was estimated at $1,300.

Incidents

•Police helped a woman who had fallen in her home. Officers were sent to the 1400 block of West Fourth Street on Sunday, when dispatch received an alarm call from Life Alert. The house appeared unoccupied to officials. Knocks on the door and ringing the doorbell yielded no response. However, police noted that the car was in the garage. Officers had to kick in a door that had been locked with a dead bolt to get into the garage. They then had to kick in the door to gain entry into the home. Upon entry, officers heard cries for help. The door to the bedroom was also locked. When officers opened the final door, they found the woman lying on the floor. Her shoulder was injured, and she had been unable to get to the phone. She was sent to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center for treatment.

•Police were dispatched to the 300 block of Broken Arrow Road on Friday, after neighbors reported that an elderly woman appeared to be missing. Examination of the area revealed a small dog inside the home.

Officers called a locksmith to open the door, did a check of the home and the dog to make sure it had access to food and water. The resident was not inside the house. The dwelling was secured and officers left.

Animal cruelty

Police were dispatched to the 600 block of West Walnut Street, Sunday, after someone witnessed a dog shot. The police checked the animal and discovered it had been shot with a small-gauge bullet. Animal Control was called to the scene. The damages were extensive enough that the animal had to be euthanized.

Conn. man to die for fatal home invasion NEW HAVEN, Conn.

(AP) — A man was condemned to death Monday for a night of terror inside a suburban home where a woman was strangled and her two daughters were tied to their beds and left to die in a gasoline-fueled fire.

Jurors in New Haven Superior Court voted unanimously to send Steven Hayes to death row after deliberating over four days. Judge Jon Blue will impose the sentence on Dec. 2.

The judge, in thanking the jurors for their service, said, “You have been exposed to images of depravity and horror that no human being should have to see.”

Dr. William Petit, the husband and father of the victims, said the verdict was not about revenge.

“Vengeance belongs to the Lord,” Petit said. “This is about justice. We need to have some rules in a civilized society.”

He also said it wouldn’t bring closure, saying whoever came up with the concept was “an imbecile.”

“It’s a hole with jagged edges,” he said. “Over time the edges may smooth out a little bit, but the hole in your heart, the hole in your soul is always there.”

The jury foreman, Ian Cassell, told The Associated Press some jurors were initially “on the fence” about life or death for Hayes.

“But given the evidence and testimony and the letter of the law, that’s where it brought us,” Cassell said.

He said it was tense and emotional in the jury room.

“We had a man’s life in our hands, and no one was having an easy time with that,” he said.

Asked about the crime, he said, “Everyone was disgusted, horrified. It was awful, awful.”

Hayes’ attor neys had tried to persuade jurors to spare him the death penalty by portraying him as a clumsy, drug-addicted thief who never committed violence until the 2007 home invasion in

Dr. William A. Petit Jr., right, and his father, William Petit, react to the sentence given to Steven Hayes, not pictured, following jury deliberations Monday, at the New Haven, Conn., County Courthouse.

Cheshire, a wealthy New Haven suburb, with a fellow paroled burglar. They called the co-defendant, Joshua Komisarjevsky, the mastermind and said he escalated the violence.

But prosecutors said both men were equally responsible and that the crime cried out for the death penalty, saying the family was tormented for seven hours before being killed.

Defense attorney Tom Ullmann said Hayes, who had attempted suicide while incarcerated, smiled at the verdict.

“He is thrilled with the verdict. That’s what he wanted all along,” Ullmann said.

Cassell said jurors were divided over whether Hayes really wanted a death sentence, but that argument did not play a big role in the deliberations. He said an early jury note indicating divisions over a claim that Hayes was mentally impaired at the time of the crime was just a hypothetical example of a vote.

Hayes will join nine other men on Connecticut’s death row. The state has only executed one man since 1960, so the 47-year -old Hayes will likely spend years, if not decades, in prison.

Komisarjevsky will be tried next year. Prosecutors rejected of fers by both men to plead guilty in exchange for life sentences, their attor neys have said.

Authorities said Hayes and Komisarjevsky broke into the house, beat Petit and forced his wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit, to withdraw money from a bank while the rest of her family remained under hostage at home. Hayes then sexually assaulted and strangled her, authorities said.

Komisarjevsky is charged with sexually assaulting their 11-yearold daughter, Michaela.

He has blamed Hayes for escalating the crime.

Michaela and her 17year -old sister, Hayley, were tied to their beds and had gasoline poured on or around them before the men set the house on fire, according to testimony. The girls died of smoke inhalation.

The crime, which drew comparisons to the 1959 killings portrayed in Truman Capote’s “In Cold Blood,” was so unsettling that it became a key issue in the death penalty debate in the governor’s race and led to tougher Connecticut laws for repeat of fenders and

home invasions. Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell cited the case when she vetoed a bill that would have abolished the death penalty.

The jurors were individually polled after the verdict Monday. One woman was crying and confirmed her verdict in a hoarse voice while a male juror said “yes” loudly and with conviction when asked to confirm his. Hayes was alter nately looking straight ahead and to the opposite side of the courtroom from the jury. His attor ney sat somewhat slumped in his chair.

Petit said he cried at the verdict, “thinking of the tremendous loss.”

“Michaela was an 11year-old little girl tortured and killed in her own bedroom, surrounded by stuffed animals,” he said, his voice cracking.

He said his older daughter had a great future and his wife, a nurse, had helped many children at the hospitals where she worked.

To deter mine Hayes’ punishment, the jury weighed so-called aggravating factors cited by prosecutors, including the heinous and cruel nature of the deaths, against mitigating factors argued by Hayes’ attorneys.

Powell wants to restore transparency A4 Tuesday, November 9, 2010

OPINION

Ray Powell’s winning campaign to “clean up the State Land Office” paralleled Susana Martinez’s winning campaign to clean up Santa Fe. Outgoing State Land Commissioner Pat Lyons groused, like the outgoing chief executive, that the candidate was campaigning against him and not the opponent.

True on both counts.

The campaign for state land commissioner, largely overshadowed by drama higher on the ballot, deserved more attention because it’s probably New Mexico’s second most powerful position. One of two constitutional officers (the other is the governor) established by statehood enabling legislation, the commissioner can sell, lease or trade land on his own authority. The office manages 13 million acres of trust land; the income generated supports schools, hospitals and other beneficiaries.

SHERRY ROBINSON

ALL SHE WROTE

By “cleaning up,” Powell means opening the processes to public scrutiny. “It’s longer, messier and more frustrating, but you have a product at the end that’s more satisfactory. The more sunshine from the very beginning of the process, the better off you are.”

This was an early lesson in his previous stint as commissioner (1993 to 2002), when he and his staff crafted what they considered a sound community development plan for Edgewood.

“They were mortified. It took us 27 public meetings after that to

Roswell Daily Record

regain the public trust. It was their community, and they had a vision of what they wanted.” After that, he attended meetings armed only with a map and a question: “How do we optimize this?”

Sunshine was a missing commodity in two of his predecessor’s more controversial land deals. In the first, Lyons scuttled open bidding to lease land to a Las Cruces developer who was one of his campaign contributors.

In recent months, L yons pushed through the White’s Peak land exchange — over the objections of hunters, the state Game Commission and nearby communities. During his previous term, Powell turned down the same deal after holding meetings in the communities and listening to citizens.

“It became clear that selling or trading was not in the best interests of the community,” he says.

The prospective buyers continued to visit Powell, but the answer was still no. From Lyons they got

a yes. (The Supreme Court is still deciding the outcome.)

“What has people so upset is there was no sunshine, no transparency — it was just done,” Powell says.

Two of Powell’s goals will be to discuss land exchanges, longterm leases or sales in well publicized, local public meetings and institute a local land-approval process for long-term leases.

Every sale, trade and lease will be on an open bid. “That worked fine for 10 years,” he says.

Anyone looking at Powell’s close ties to environmentalists might wonder how he will treat ranchers and the oil and gas industry.

Powell sees both groups as important partners: “Having people connected to the land, producing a product, paying a fee to use the land is a win-win because they look after the land.” The presence of lessees reduces the incidence of illegal activity like dumping. He recognizes the oil

and gas industry’s importance, but allows, “They need to pay their fair share and take care of the health of the land. The vast majority of producers are responsible.”

Everybody, he says, should care more about the long term than the political term: “If you contaminate the groundwater, you’ll never be able to clean it up. The key is not contaminating it in the first place.”

The industry may take comfort in Powell’s view of regulations.

The State Land Office isn’t a regulatory agency, he says, “but how regulations are applied has a huge impact on the revenue stream and the care of the land.

To me, the most important thing is to do things based on peer reviewed science. It’s got to make sense.”

Making sense is an admirable goal. © New Mexico News Services 2010

EDITORIAL

Put away the rancor

Here’s the lay of the land: A GOP House of Representatives; a Democratic U.S. Senate, by a now slimmer margin; a Democratic president with a veto; tea party favorites talking about forming their own caucus; and resurgent Republicans talking about rolling back key initiatives.

Add, just around the corner, the backdrop of another election, with the White House and more congressional seats at stake. What we have here is a recipe for gridlock.

It must not happen and it need not.

President Barack Obama struck the right note in a speech on Wednesday, calling for bipartisan cooperation and acknowledging the new D.C. dynamics spawned by last week’s election.

“No one party will be able to dictate where we go from here,” he said. “No person, no party has a monopoly on wisdom.” He called for a search for “common ground.”

Right. It would be overdue. Bringing civility to Washington was part of what he promised in his election two years ago.

We’re confident there is plenty of common ground to be found, if everyone is serious about governance rather than posturing for 2012.

Health care reform was obviously a big issue in this campaign, with Republican candidates, including those in Wisconsin, incorrectly characterizing it as government-run health care. We would not like to see repeal but more has to be done to bring down health care costs. Current reform deals with fee for service far too tepidly.

On taxes, the president has wanted to extend only those Bush tax cuts for middle-class families, those earning below $250,000. How about raising that ceiling to, say, $1 million and at least a moratorium on re-installing the rest.

On federal spending, we note that public employees throughout the country have had to withstand furloughs because of upside-down budgets, though not federal employees.

This would be a good starting point. But other more serious deficit reductions, including the Pentagon and serious discussion on entitlement spending, have to be on the table as well.

This election was mostly about the economy but clearly the president and Democrats did a poor job of selling their solutions.

The GOP successfully parlayed this failure into charges of Democratic “overreaching” that resonated with many voters. But, a caution for Republicans here: Much as with wisdom, neither does either party have a monopoly on the ability to overreach.

Guest Editorial The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel DEAR DR. GOTT: I am writing in reference to the 46-yearold woman who was diagnosed with Behcet’s disease in Memphis, Tenn.

In my mid-40s, I kept having recurring mouth sores. I could have from two to 30 at a time.

This made speech and eating difficult. I went to many doctors in the area (also in Memphis) and was diagnosed with many things, including mouth thrush, vitamin B deficiency, an ulcerated digestive system from mouth to anus and an allergic reaction to peanuts and fried foods.

No one could give me any relief, and everywhere I went, I received a different diagnosis.

I decided to go to a chiropractor to see if there might be anything he could do for me.

He took an X-ray and told me

Latino impact on midterm elections In spite of the efforts by some Latino organizations and some clergy groups that called on Latino voters to boycott the 2010 midterm elections, Hispanics played a big role in the election and in its outcome.

Fortunately, Latinos did not fall for that pessimistic vision, and not only did more of them go out and vote, but in some races, they helped decide the winner.

The most notable race where the Latino vote made an impact was in Nevada, where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid struggled to hold on to his seat in a tough campaign against tea party candidate

that a nerve in my neck could be causing the sores. When I began getting adjustments to my neck and spine, my sores went away. I have been sorefree for several years now and can live a normal life again.

I just wanted to share my story with my reader to remind her that not all diagnoses are correct and that she might want to consider a chiroprac-

tor. It worked wonders for me.

DEAR READER: I am printing your letter for several reasons. First, you are correct that not all diagnoses are accurate.

Second, your situation is totally new to me. Finally, you offer a possible treatment option.

Chiropractors are often-overlooked medical professionals and, based on letters from my readers, are a great source of healing. Most chiropractic treatments are safe or relatively side-effect free. (There are exceptions, such as for people who have clotting disorders or cancer.) A chiropractor can’t replace a general physician, but if these two professionals work together, patients stand the best chance of getting appropriate, effective care.

Thank you for writing and sharing your experience. I hope

DEAR DR. GOTT: Why do you write about so many esoteric diseases and medical conditions, many of which must affect only a handful of people?

Surely you haven’t covered all of the subjects of interest to a general audience. I only rarely find any subjects of interest in your columns, and I’m an old dude with a number of issues.

Books offer observations from TV personalities Roswell Daily Record

t

LORETTA CLARK ROSWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY

November is National Inspirational Role Models Month, observing the impact that contemporary and historic role models have on our lives. Everyone, whatever their age, needs role models and in addition, may become a role model to others. The 2010 theme is “Acknowledging the Dynamic Inspiration of Family, Friends and Community.” The Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., offers a variety of books and other materials on inspirational people and topics.

Book Talk

Although television was first introduced to the general public at the 1939 World’s Fair, due to the outbreak of World War II, true regular commercial network television programming did not begin in the U.S. until 1948. Since then, the television set has become ubiquitous in homes, businesses and institutions, particularly as a source of entertainment and news.

Amanda Davis, reference librarian, shares books written by three TV personalities.

Jon Stewart is an American political satirist, writer, television host, actor, media critic and stand-up comedian. In 1999, he began hosting “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central, blending

LETTERS

humor with the day’s top news stories, while simultaneously poking fun at politicians, newsmakers and the news media itself. Stewart and his team of writers apply their sharp wit to “Earth (The Book): A Visitor’s Guide to the Human Race.” The premise of the book is that, after humans are gone, there will be a guidebook for the alien race that will someday visit Earth.

With their trademark dry wit, irreverence and intelligence, Stewart and his team will posthumously answer all of life’s most hardhitting questions, completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy. So this book spans everything from fashion, wars, politics, anatomy, plants and money. Readers won’t miss the video clips because the book is filled with huge color pictures, some original, while others are creatively altered by the authors. “Earth” provides an interesting look at our world from an outsider’s point of view. Even if you’ve never seen “The Daily Show,” this book is filled with delicious humor that will have you laughing at just how crazy the human race can be.

Gay teens at risk

Dear Editor: “Back to school” isn’t supposed to mean a return to bullying, torment, fear or suicide.

Yet this September it meant just that for too many LGBT and presumed to be LGBT children and youth.

In the three months, the relentless drumbeat announcing yet another LGBT youth suicide has been simply horrible. One would be too many. Six compels us all to act.

Our hearts go out to the families, friends and classmates who have experienced the unimaginable grief that accompanies this kind of loss.

Channel and the Discovery Travel and Living Channel. Host Anthony Bourdain visits overseas countries and cities worldwide where hosts treat him to local culture and cuisine. Chef Bourdain has already written several books, both fiction and non-fiction, including “Kitchen Confidential.” His newest book, “Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook” revisits a lot of his themes from the first book, but with a perspective that has come about from his new celebrity status.

Bourdain often shies away from his own fame, so he’s willing to call out many famous chefs and television shows about the culinary world and dish the inside dirt on what really goes on in the unseen kitchens. This book is less a narrative and more a collection of essays and “rants” that are brought to life through Bourdain’s creative descriptions and sarcastic style. Fans, or readers just interested in the phenomenon of food culture in general, will want to check out this book about all of those good and bad things you may not know about what you eat.

Chief among those consequences is a victim’s desperate sense of aloneness, of helplessness, and the belief that no one will stand with them, that no one can or will help and that life will forever bring this torment.

It’s long past time to send LGBT children and youth, as well as those who would bully them, a very different message. You are not alone. We will stand with you. We will protect you. There will be a better day, a different day.

We will protect our youth.

Parents and pastors, educators and elected officials, legislators and law enforcement — all of us must answer the call to protect our children. We all have an inarguable human duty to protect and intervene.

Latinos also helped several Hispanic incumbents in the House of Representatives retain their seats.

However, there is another, very different side to the Latino impact in this election. A record number of Latino Republican candidates were elected to office.

Susana Martinez in New Mexico became the first Latina ever elected as governor.

Brian Sandoval won his bid for the governorship in Nevada against Harry Reid’s son Rory Reid. Florida state Rep. Marco Rubio became the state’s next senator, and there will be five new Hispanic Republicans in the House of Representatives — Raul Labrador in Idaho’s 1st District, David Rivera in Florida’s 25th District, Bill Flores in Texas’ 17th District, Jaime Herrera in Washington state’s 3rd District and Republican businessman Francisco Canseco, who defeated incumbent Democrat Ciro Rodriguez in Texas’ 23rd District. Democratic Reps. Solomon Ortiz of Texas and John Salazar of Colorado also lost their bids for re-election.

The common denominator among all of the new Latino Republicans who were elected to office is that they took a tough stance on immigration issues, some of them even supporting state laws such as Arizona’s SB1070. But political analyst Arnoldo Torres warns that this should not be seen as a shift in political preferences by Latino voters who have given their support to the Democrats: “With

Not just limited to fashion, these are guidelines that can be applied to your whole life, but it’s not just 18 sentences scattered through a book, Gunn has plenty of juicy stories about “Project Runway” and the elite personalities of the fashion world. Though those are a fun interest in this book, it is more about his life and the lessons he’s learned to help him get to where he is today. Hard work, good manners and creativity are all things that he encourages for everyone to live a happier, more fulfilling life.

This book is a must-read for fans of the show or those just looking for a little inspiration and better living.

• Absenteeism: LGBT students who experienced harassment and assault were three times more likely to have missed school days/classes • Lowered aspirations and achievement: LGBT students who experienced harassment and assault were more likely to have lowered grades and to say they had no plans to complete or continue their education • In-school experiences of harassment and assault were related to poorer psychological well-being (higher depression, higher anxiety, lower self-esteem) for LGBT students Students in schools with support organizations were less likely to feel unsafe, were less likely to be victimized, were less likely to miss school days because of feeling uncomfortable or afraid, and were more likely to report harassment and assault and be more pleased with the outcome.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-Soso; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Keep reaching out for a key person, who could be a relative, friend or someone who is a source of information. Though you might not be able to plan a trip just yet, start considering where and when. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) News, though surprising, could force you to get past self-imposed mental filters. Break free and learn to better understand those in your immediate environment. You might be surprised by what happens when you gain some perspective.

Tonight: Let your mind wander.

Surf the Net. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone you counted on might back out at the last minute. Your creativity mixed with a partner’s perspective stabilizes what could be a difficult situation otherwise. Tonight: Flex with the moment and a friend.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others want to dominate, which should not be a new scenario for you. Although how you handle it might be quite different. People are changing, as are their reactions. You, too, will be making an adjustment.

Tonight: The only requirement is not to be alone.

Wave goodbye to Wade Section

Roswell Daily Record

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jerry Jones never wanted to change coaches this season. As the blowout losses mounted, and Wade Phillips’ defense was mostly to blame, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys had no choice.

Jones fired Phillips on Monday and promoted offensive coordinator Jason Garrett to take his place on an interim basis. Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni was promoted to replace Phillips’ other role as defensive coordinator.

“I recognized that after the game we just weren’t playing winning football and our best chance was to make a change,” Jones said. “We are grateful to Wade and his contribution to the Cowboys, leading us.

We also clearly understand we are not where we want to be at this time, and that’s an understatement.

We share the responsibility — all of us.”

It’s the first time Dallas has made an in-season coaching change. Garrett becomes the first former Cowboys player to take over the job previously held by the likes of Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells.

Jones decided enough was enough following a 457 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.

It was the Cowboys’ fifth straight loss, dropping

Dallas Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips argues a call during the first half of his team’s game against the Green Bay Packers, Sunday.

them to 1-7.

The defense has allowed at least 35 points in three straight games, something that hadn’t happened to this team since going 0-111 in its inaugural season, 1960. Stranger still, the unit features nearly all the same players who closed last season with the first back-to-back shutouts in club history.

Jones said his deciding factor was the defense’s erosion the last three games — bad against the Giants, worse against Jacksonville and trampled

by the Packers, who actually backed off from scoring more than 45. Jones said he’d been “in denial” that the club was in such bad shape.

“It really was paramount in my thinking that we would make adjustments and have our defense more productive and demonstrate a correction,” he said. “But I really might not be sitting here today if we had gone and played well against Jacksonville ... and then we’d gone to Green Bay and played lights out defensively.”

This is the Cowboys’ worst season since 1989 and among the worst in franchise history by record alone. It could go down as the worst-ever considering Dallas was coming of f a division title and a playoff win, and was expected to contend for the Super Bowl that’ll be held at Cowboys Stadium.

“I told (players) they should not think this an admission of defeat or finality in this season,” Jones said. “We have eight games left and we have one goal — to win.”

Jones was clearly unhappy and uncomfortable. He spoke slower than usual, with longer pauses to collect his thoughts, and fiddled with his glasses throughout a 22-minute news conference.

He called Phillips “somebody we thought so much of” and “a good friend, as well.” He wouldn’t provide details of his conversation with Phillips, and became emotional as he described breaking the news to the

STEELERS HOLD OFF BENGALS

CINCINNATI (AP) — At the end of a night full of foibles, tricks and missed chances, the Pittsburgh Steelers turned to their one constant to finish it off.

That unyielding defense came through again.

James Harrison and Ryan Clark stripped the ball away from Jordan Shipley near the 5-yard line on Cincinnati’s final play, preserving a 27-21 victory over the Bengals on Monday night that left the AFC North with a familiar, old look.

The Steelers (6-2) are again at the top, sharing the spot with Baltimore.

The defending-champion Bengals (2-6) are in last place alone after their fifth straight loss, coming up one completion short.

Credit that last rib-jolting hit — legal all-around — by the Steelers’ on-thespot defenders.

Pittsburgh seemed to be in control when Antwaan Randle El threw a 39-yard touchdown pass off a trick play to open the fourth quarter, building a 27-7 lead made possible by the Bengals’ many mistakes.

Pittsburgh also had points set up by a fumble, a blocked punt and a missed field goal.

Then, the Steelers turned sloppy on their own. Ben Roethlisberger threw an interception that set up Terrell Owens’ second touchdown catch of the game, and Jeff Reed missed a 46-yard field goal try that would have clinched it with 3:59 to go.

The drama had just begun.

Palmer led the Bengals downfield with the help of a wacky play. His pass to Cedric Benson was tipped, but the running back made a juggling catch for a 16-yard gain on third-and-long.

The New Mexico Activities Association released its 3A, 4A and 5A state football championship brackets late Saturday.

Both Goddard and Roswell earned spots in the 4A bracket for the first time since the 2006 season.

Goddard (10-0) earned the No. 1 seed after wrapping up its first undefeated regular season in school history on Friday with a 53-52 win over Lovington.

The District 4-4A champion Rockets will square off with either No. 8 Valencia

or No. 9 Moriarty on Nov. 19 or 20 at the Wool Bowl.

Valencia (8-2), which lost its final two games after starting 8-0, will host Moriarty (6-4), the District 5-4A runner -up, on Saturday.

Valencia is in the playof fs for just the second time in school history — the Jaguars also qualified last season — and Moriarty is in for the first time since 2008 after missing last year’s postseason.

Roswell (5-5) earned the No. 10 seed and is in the playoffs for the first time

under third-year coach Robert Arreola.

The Coyotes will square off with No. 7 St. Pius X on Friday at 7 p.m. at Milne Stadium in Albuquerque.

The Sartans (6-4) won District 5-4A this season and enter the playoffs riding a five-game win streak.

They are in the playoffs for the 16th straight season ths year.

The last meeting between the Sartans and Coyotes came in the first round of the 2006 playoffs, when Roswell won 28-20.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Having just sat through the lowest point in a lost season, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones couldn’t quite put his finger on what is wrong with his team.

Because, as he explained, he doesn’t have enough fingers.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 289 yards and three touchdowns, Brandon Jackson scored twice and the Green Bay Packers routed the free-falling Cowboys 45-7 on Sunday night.

Now it remains to be seen whether Dallas coach Wade Phillips will make it

through the end of the season — or, for that matter, the end of the week.

“I’ve got a lot of work to do. I’ve got a lot of decisions to make and it’s not just one, two, three or four,” Jones said. “There’s several decisions. I think everybody in this country would agree,

there’s a lot wrong with this team that I’ve got to address and certainly I’m the one to address it.”

Every time it seemed as though the sluggish Cowboys hit their low point Sunday, Rodgers and the Packers (6-3) knocked them down another notch. James Jones caught eight passes for 123 yards and a touchdown for Green Bay, which has won three straight.

“There’s a lot of confidence in that locker room,” Rodgers said. “We were 3-3 coming off two straight losses in overtime — there were definitely some doubts creeping in, wondering what the last 10 would hold for us and realizing that we had to make a push here.”

It was a new nadir for the Cowboys (1-7), who came into 2010 with Super Bowl aspirations. And it’s sure to kick off a new round of speculation about Phillips, despite recent statements from Jones that he wasn’t inclined to fire a coach in midseason.

While Jones wouldn’t directly address Phillips’ future after the game, it’s safe to say that Sunday’s rout might change his thinking.

Phillips brushed off questions about his future and said his message to the team was simple: don’t quit.

Johnson is in quite a fight of his own in his drive for an unprecedented fifth championship in a row.

Johnson lost his points lead to Denny Hamlin with two races left in a close three-way Chase for the Sprint Cup after another frustrating Sunday in Texas, when some troublesome pit stops early led to an unusual midrace crew change.

“I just watched the World Series and when a pitcher is not doing his job, they make a change and get someone in who can,” Johnson said.

“We just had some things going on today that we couldn’t rebound from and it really put us in a bad position. ... It kind of led to the bad result.”

Gordon’s crew was conveniently available after he was wrecked out of the race and got into a backstretch scuffle with Jeff Burton.

On two stops early in the race, Johnson lost ground because of problems changing the front right tire. He had climbed to as high as second before those stops, but restarted after the second during a caution in 13th place, while Hamlin and Harvick both ran in the top six.

While Hamlin won after officially leading the final 29 laps, Matt Kenseth shot past him briefly on the restart with three laps to go before Hamlin quickly recovered to win at the 1 1⁄2mile, high-banked track for the second time this year. Kenseth finished second, ahead of Mark Martin.

Hamlin won at Texas in April, less than three weeks after surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, when Johnson was the runner-up.

Hamlin’s first race after the surgery was a 30thplace finish at Phoenix, where the Chase goes next weekend.

“I’m going to race Phoenix as if I’m 33 behind,” Hamlin said. “There’s no comfortable margin going into Homestead because anything can happen. ... I’m not going to be conservative having the lead. I’m going to want to stretch that out before we get to Homestead. So that’s pretty much my mindset.”

Greg Biffle led 11 times for 224 of the 334 laps, but finished fifth after some transmission problems. The 20th Cup race at Texas included a record 33 lead changes.

Kevin Harvick finished sixth and remained third in the Chase, 59 points behind Hamlin.

Gordon was done when Burton sent his car crashing during a caution on lap 192.

After the two got out of their mangled cars, an angry Gordon walked from the top to the bottom of the track, where he hit Burton with a hard two-handed push and took a few swings. Two NASCAR officials quickly got between them.

DEAR ABBY: I read your advice to “Getting Grief in Grants Pass, Ore.,” (Sept. 11), whose father was reading her cell phone messages. You called his supervision “heavyhanded” and suggested she discuss it with him. While I applaud your suggestion to have a talk with her father, please reconsider the characterization that he was heavy-handed.

As a parent and high school assistant principal, I have seen too often the dangers of “sexting” and other illicit communications.

Today’s smart phone tells us all sorts of things that we as parents need to know. It also has connections to social networking and applications that allow teenagers to blindly send their phone numbers to anonymous users and have conversations.

The world has changed with this technology, and the attention we pay as parents must change with it. I strongly urge the parents at my school to check their children’s phones and comDear Heloise: Regarding sending a CHILD ALONE ON A TRIP by commercial airline: Please be sure the adult on the receiving end knows the name the child will be using when traveling.

My brother called to ask me to pick up his son at the airport, as his ex-wife was suddenly unable to pick him up. When I arrived at the airport, the airline asked for the name of the child. I responded (these names are for example purposes only — Heloise), “Billy Green,” (using my brother’s last name). They had no child listed by that name. After thinking a moment, I said, “Billy Red”

DEAR DAVE: Thank you for writing and reminding me that kids today face many challenges that had never been an issue for them in past generations.

Read on:

teenage behavior can be devastating and have lifetime consequences.

Kids sometimes are afraid to go to parents or other responsible adults to seek help when they need it; often kids may not even know they are in trouble or exposing themselves to danger by their behavior. How long do you think it takes a “sext” between a girl and her boyfriend to make it to a child porn website?

A cell phone is a computer, and parents are responsible for ensuring the safety of their children and protecting them from predators and others who might har m them.

If “Grief” is not engaging in inappropriate behavior, she shouldn’t be embarrassed if her parents read the text messages. Abby, please use your column to help educate children, teens and their parents that a text/sext lasts a lifetime.

Dear Heloise: Start saving those fake plastic credit cards and other type cards that come in the mail. They are ideal for scraping ice off car windows. Keep a couple in the glove compartment.

Dear Heloise: In my family, I’m known as being “cheap.” I like to think of myself as being “inventive.”

My hint is: Since baby towelettes are inexpensive and durable, I have two containers. For one, I pour 1-2 cups of alcohol in the container and label the top. I use that for quick cleaning of the kitchen counter after I cut chicken or any meats, or any surface that you would use the name-brand wipes on.

The other, I pour 1-2 cups of vinegar in the container (and label) to use in so many ways, wiping the glass stove, kitchen sink, appliances, etc.

The uses are endless!

Dear Heloise: To help defray the cost of liquid/powdered coffee creamers, I do the following: I mix the powdered type with nonfat powdered milk in a 1to-1 ratio (more powdered milk if the creamer is especially flavorful). I mix the liquid with fat-free half-and-half in the same ratio. The calorie count and fat grams also are reduced while retaining much of the flavor. I also buy the liquid type when it is on sale and freeze it. There is no loss of flavor. Doing this has helped stretch my money, and I always have some form of creamer available.

Dear Heloise: On holidays, my husband and I spend the night before cooking for the big day. I tie plastic bags, the kind from the grocery store, on the handles of the cabinets to use for garbage. It’s great for easy cleanup and saves steps to the trash can.
