A commercial grade firework the size of a cherry trapped under a cooking pan ignited on a table, and a little girl squealed with delight. As she lifted the pan, yellow smoke escaped and billowed in the air while an image emerged on a piece of paper from the fumage.

“There’s an oxidation reaction where the smoke particles adhere and fuse with the surface canvas,” Jeremy Howe, a guest artist with the Roswell Museum and Art Center, explained.

Howe’s smoke painting table was one of about 10 “Make ’n Take” kiosks lined outside the Roswell Museum and Art Center Saturday morning for the fourth annual Art Block and Chalk Art Festival.

In sports it often seems as if the simpler the play, the harder it is to execute.

For the Goddard boys soccer team’s 2-1 loss to Artesia on Saturday, the Rockets inability to score when there was no goalie in front of the goal cost them dearly.

In the 31st minute Goddard had a golden chance to break a 0-0 tie when the Rocket offense caught the Bulldog goalie 15-feet away from the goal.

the Eastern New Mexico State Fair’s Sales Arena.

Moments after the auctioneer’s last bellow and the audience’s last bid, Calder Ezzell, the vice president of the fair board, stood in the elevated auctioneer booth and announced the total proceeds.

The dairy heifers, steers, swine, lambs, meat goats, chicken and rabbits sold for a combined $311,000.

Beyond the purchase price, some buyers will

contribute an “add-on,” a donation to the youth owner. Even some nonpurchasers, explained Cody Burson, the superintendent of the junior livestock sale, will contribute an add-on.

To encourage youth to participate in agriculture the bidders pay heavily inflated prices.

“It’s very humbling to see the generosity of the community of eastern New Mexico,” he said in the fair board room not long after

the auction concluded.

“Some kids,” he continued, “have to pay back loans on their animals and projects.” Burson estimated that kids earned just as much, if not more, than in 2009.

Once again, among many local businessmen and organizations, Oscar (Pete) Kunkel’s strong bids led the charge. Kunkel, the fair’s 2010 grand marshall, purchased several animals, including the supreme grand champion

Current president, Jean Maley, insists that the group can do even

“Membership is open to all,” she noted, and, despite the fact that the group is currently allfemale, that includes men.

First racers in OK after NM liftoff

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The leaders in one of ballooning’s most prestigious events were floating over Oklahoma as they neared the end of the first day of the multi-day America’s Challenge race on Saturday evening.

The six teams lifted off in Albuquerque just after midnight on Saturday and the lead teams had floated more than 400 miles by nightfall. The two lead balloons had crossed the Texas panhandle and were moving into Oklahoma, a race official said.

A team comprised of Phil Bryant and Phil MacNutt was in the lead, with the balloon manned by Bert Padelt and Louis Vitanza less than 20 miles behind.

Five of the six balloons in the race were within about 70 miles of each other on about the same track.

The race is honoring Richard Abruzzo and Carol R ymer Davis, presumed dead after their balloon disappeared into the Adriatic Sea off Italy during a European race last week. The ballooning community held out hope as crews searched the area for days, but nothing was found.

“They’ll definitely be in our thoughts, and we’re

wishing that they were here competing with us,” Troy Bradley, who is flying in this year’s race and once spent six days in a gondola with Abruzzo on a transAtlantic flight, said before his launch.

At nightfall, Bradley’s balloon was near Lubbock, Texas, and in last place after floating only about 268 miles as the crow flies from the launch point.

Two large weather balloons honoring them and their families were sent aloft just before the race began, said deputy race director Kevin Knapp.

The six balloons were expected to take a generally eastern direction across the country in a race that can cover more than a thousand miles and last up to four days. Last year’s winners traveled more than 1,400 miles before landing near Ames, Iowa.

The team that travels the longest distance wins. To win, pilots must astutely take advantage of wind currents and fluctuation in temperatures to get the most distance out of their balloons, encountering a series of hazards along the way.

Also in honor of the two, each of the six race bal-

loons carried chili ristras.

The tradition stems from the record-setting transAtlantic flight of the balloon known as the Double Eagle II, which included Abruzzo’s father, the late famed balloonist Ben Abruzzo, Maxie Anderson and Larry Newman. The three carried a ristra with them for good luck.

Richard Abruzzo, 47, of Albuquerque, and Davis, 65, of Denver, were flying in the 54th Gordon Bennett Gas Balloon Race when contact was lost Sept. 29 over the Adriatic Sea. Organizers of that race said radar indicated the two plunged toward the water at 50 mph and they likely didn’t survive.

The Gordon Bennett and the America’s Challenge are the biggest events in balloon racing, and Abruzzo and Davis dominated the competitions. They won the 2003 America’s Challenge — one of Abruzzo’s five victories in that race. They also won the 2004 Gordon Bennett in France.

Abruzzo also won the race in 2002 and 2004 when he teamed with former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson. They were entered in this year’s America’s Challenge.

Mexico’s Felipe Calderon sees a drug war success

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — President Felipe Calderon calls Tijuana a success in his four -year -old war on drug cartels, though he is unsure that making the border city safer has reduced the flow of drugs to the United States.

In an interview with The Associated Press, the Mexican leader noted that many of the city’s crime bosses have been captured in the past two years and said far fewer residents are being kidnapped and extorted. A key ingredient to its success, he said, is that its people trust authorities to help keep them safe — more than in other cities plagued by violence.

“Tijuana went from being a city seized by terror and focused only on questions of crime to a city motivated by hope and focused on being competitive,” Calderon said late Thursday.

Calderon took some credit, saying authorities from different levels of government work together more closely than in other parts of the country. But he said Tijuana, which borders San Diego, sets itself apart

largely by the spirit of its people.

“It would be unfair to claim that the people have hope because of the government,” he said.

Calderon drew a sharp contrast with Ciudad Juarez, where violence between rival gangs has spun out of control. He said local authorities have unfairly blamed him for the

city’s problems, even after he dispatched thousands of troops and federal police into the city in 2008 to defuse a showdown between Sinaloa cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and Juarez cartel boss Vicente Carrillo Fuentes.

“In Ciudad Juarez, unfortunately, there has not been the same degree of

Kim, heir apparent appear on live TV PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Il and his son, heir apparent Kim Jong Un, appeared together a massive military parade Sunday held amid celebrations marking the foundation of the country’s ruling party.

The two Kims stood on a reviewing stand at Pyongyang’s central Kim Il Sung Square, named after the country’s national founder, where goosestepping military personnel marched by and military hardware, including tanks, passed below.

The festivities were broadcast on state television, giving the North Korean people one of their first good looks at their future leader, who will his succeed his father to carry the communist dynasty into the third generation.

The elder Kim entered

the venue to huge cheers from the crowd. He was accompanied by his son and other top of ficials including Kim Yong Nam, the president of the country’s parliament.

The parade is part of celebrations marking the 65th anniversary of the establishment of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

The party last month held a landmark political convention, its most significant gathering in 30 years, at which Kim Jong Un was promoted to vice chairman of the organization’s central military commission.

State TV showed goosestepping military personnel marching past the reviewing stand and being saluted by Kim Jong Il and later Kim Jong Un, who was not dressed in military uniform as some analysts had expected. He wore the same dark, com-

collaboration and constructive attitude that we have found in other places, like Tijuana,” he said. “Instead of everyone working together, they preferred the easy way out by blaming everything on the federal government and the president.”

More than 28,000 people have died in drug violence since Calderon launched his crackdown on organized crime in late 2006.

Tijuana is emerging from the most violent spell in its history, marked by shootouts between rival gangs, bodies dumped near schools and soccer fields and corpses hung from freeway bridges. The carnage was the product of a showdown between two crime bosses — Fernando “The Engineer” Sanchez Arellano and Teodoro “El Teo” Garcia Simental, a renegade lieutenant who rose through the ranks by dissolving bodies in vats of lye.

Even before Garcia was arrested by Mexican authorities in January, some signs of nor malcy had returned. Restaurants got busier. A vibrant nightclub scene emerged near

Earlier, a North Korean flag was raised and military officers in full dress unifor m watching as a band played rousing music and the large crowd looked on.

“If the U.S. imperialists and their followers infringe on our sovereignty and dignity even slightly, we will blow up the stronghold of their aggression with a merciless and righteous retaliatory strike by mobilizing all physical means, including self-defensive nuclear deterrent force, and achieve the historic task of unification,” Ri Yong Ho, chief of the General Staf f of the North Korean army, said before troops began marching.

Calderon said the only recipe for lasting peace is a strong gover nment that enjoys the support of its people.

Calderon said he didn’t know if the sense of calm in T ijuana has resulted in fewer drugs being smuggled from there into California.

“The reality is that while the United States continues to consume drugs, drug traf ficking will not go away,” he said. “The surveys on drug use in the United States are truly disappointing. Instead of a reduction, there is an increase.”

He was sharply critical of a Nov. 2 ballot measure in California that would legalize possession of small quantities of marijuana and pave the way for local governments to allow retail sales of the drug, saying it reflects a “terrible inconsistency” in U.S. drug policy.

Calderon said Tijuana’s peace is precarious and acknowledged that the city’s murder rate has risen this year. Still, he noted that the murder rate is below a record high in 2008 and that assassinations of police officers have almost stopped after dozens were gunned down last year in the line of duty.

Nuevo Laredo, along the Texas border, also settled into a period of calm after a horrific wave of violence in 2005 only to see killings surge again recently in a battle between Gulf cartel and the Zetas, a breakaway drug gang made up of former Mexican special forces soldiers.

Calderon said T ijuana appears dif ferent than Nuevo Laredo and other cities along the Texas border, where he suggested the fleeting peace resulted from a temporary arrangement between criminal organizations.

Powell, Rush vie for NM land commissioner job ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Former New Mexico Land Commissioner Ray Powell says the State Land Office has lost its way and he knows how to get it back on track.

Roosevelt County farmer and rancher Matt Rush says now is the time to infuse new leadership into one of the state’s most important agencies.

It’s a race between a seasoned Democrat who held the office for nearly a decade and a younger Republican experienced in working the land while growing up on the eastern New Mexico plains. It will be up to voters to choose the state’s next land commissioner Nov. 2.

Both candidates recognize there’s a lot riding on the election, given a dim economic outlook and shifting political attitudes.

“With the incredible deficits we’re running, the state government is going to be turning to the Land Office to generate as much revenue off our state trust lands as possible to help fill the void and the more money we generate, the less money citizens have to come up with out of their own pocket,” Rush said.

Powell said the key is finding a way to generate that revenue through oil and natural gas development, renewable energy projects and farm and ranch leases while still protecting sensitive biological, archaeological and paleontological sites.

“We want to do it in a thoughtful manner, but in a way that we can get things done in a timely fashion. We can do that, but the devil’s always in the details,” Powell said.

Many contend the land commissioner

is one of the most powerful people in state government, wielding control over more than 13 million acres of mineral estate and 9 million acres of surface estate with the potential to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars to New Mexico’s coffers each year.

Aside from overseeing energy development on trust lands, the Land Office is the gatekeeper for hunting, fishing and recreation on those lands. That gives everyone from sportsmen to oil and gas executives and renewable energy startups a stake in the race.

Leases, rents and royalties from oil and gas, renewable energy projects, farms and ranches make up a large chuck of the annual revenue funneled into state coffers. In fact, the Land Office collected $420 million during the fiscal year that ended in June and a total of more than $3 billion over the past seven years.

Most revenue generated by the office goes to trust beneficiaries — public schools, universities, New Mexico Military Institute, New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, New Mexico School for the Deaf, three hospitals, correctional facilities, water projects and public building repair and construction.

Both candidates acknowledged that nearly all of the Land Office’s revenues currently come from oil and gas.

“I think the challenge — and opportunity — is to utilize the enor mous resources we have in nonrenewable energy while we bridge to a more significant portfolio in renewable energy,” said Powell, 60, an Albuquerque veterinarian who served as land commissioner from 1993-

Rush, 36, an eighth-generation farmer and cattle rancher who also does leadership training and motivational speaking, said the Land Office needs to work with oil and gas to find ways to bring in more money while the state encourages solar, wind, geothermal and even potash mining operations.

He pointed to the Land Office’s recent lease agreement with a potash operation in southern New Mexico that has the potential to bring in annual royalties of $25 million.

Holiday for Columbus stirs controversy A4 Sunday, October 10, 2010

OPINION

SANTA FE — No national holiday is more controversial than Columbus Day. Martin Luther King Day isn’t particularly popular everywhere but Columbus seems to spark outright animosity among many throughout the hemisphere.

The strongest feelings come from those who were here before Columbus “discovered” them. They detest the historical inaccuracy but their big complaint is the treatment of native people that followed.

For a New Mexico perspective, watch “Surviving Columbus,” a TV documentary by New Mexican Diane Reyna. It presents the Pueblo Indians’ 450-year struggle to preserve their culture.

The U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico celebrate Friendship Day instead of Columbus Day due to the controversy surrounding atrocities committed against peoples of the Caribbean.

Closer to home, Minnesota refuses to celebrate Columbus Day because that state’s many descen-

dents of the Vikings contend there now is ample proof that their ancestors were here 500 years earlier.

Many historians agree, arguing that Columbus’ achievements are not worthy of a national holiday.

Although he was the first to bring European culture to the Americas, he wasn’t the first one here.

In truth, the legend of Columbus has been greatly embellished to the point of becoming myth. EarlyAmerican author Washington Irving penned an overly-dramatic “biography” of Columbus that was so popular it became accepted as fact.

Who were the first people to

Roswell Daily Record

arrive in the New World? The Bering Land Bridge theory has prevailed for the past half-century. It establishes the first Americans at about 13,000 years old. Digs near Clovis and Folsom, N.M., were key to developing that theory.

But scientists are now beginning to wonder if there might have been more than one migration.

Evidence is slowly emerging of artifacts dating back as many as 55,000 years. Some of that evidence also is here in New Mexico.

In 1940, University of New Mexico professor Frank Hibben claimed to have found evidence of a 20,000 year -old Sandia Man. But technical problems and sloppy record keeping resulted in that find never being accepted by scholars.

Now, a recent excavation at Pendejo Cave, near Orogrande in southern New Mexico, has revealed radiocarbon datings over 55,000 years old. For the time being, archaeologists can’t get at it because not only is it on Otero

Mesa, it also is on the MacGregor Range of Fort Bliss. So far, I haven’t found out how the cave got that crazy name.

For now, that leaves Columbus in the catbird seat. Even though he sailed for Spain and is responsible for most countries of the Western Hemisphere being of Spanish culture, Columbus was Italian and Italians have captured the holiday as a celebration of their heritage in America.

And Italians had much to do with starting Columbus Day observances, first in cities with large Italian populations, such as New York and San Francisco in the 1860s. Then, in 1905, the first state celebration was in Colorado.

In 1937, the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal and service organization, prevailed on President Franklin Roosevelt to declare Oct. 12 a national holiday.

There is an outside chance that Italians had more to do with the first voyage of Columbus than his-

tory suggests. An Italian journalist and author, Ruggero Marino is making a case for Vatican involvement in financing the voyage.

Then-Pope Innocent VIII was closely connected with Genoa, the birthplace of Columbus, and with the powerful and wealthy Medici family. He maintains the pope wanted another shot at winning the Holy Lands away from the Muslims again. Columbus was to find them the riches to mount another crusade.

A week before Columbus sailed, the pope died and was replaced by a Spanish pope, whom Marino’s book claims covered up Italian involvement in the Columbus voyage. Through a series of uncertainties, reminding one of the Da Vinci Code, the cover-up vanished to the secret archives of the Vatican, never to be seen again.

EDITORIAL

States seek revenue transfusions

Local and state governments across the country scrambled to adopt balanced budgets. Many of them could have even less money for next year’s spending plans.

That’s not good news, and it’s made even worse with the prospect of having to pay a large part of the nationalized health care that is beginning to take effect.

Even as 20 states try to convince a federal court that the mandated federal health care program is unconstitutional, a recent poll shows that many people want Obamacare to do even more than the legislation mandates.

Of course, taxpayers will have to pay for the coverage, regardless of how far the benefits go. And despite their desire for more services, people generally don’t like tax increases, as those dealing with their government budgets have been reminded.

With this in mind, officials will have to deal with the fact that states will have to pay a fair part of Obamacare costs.

Even before those new charges kick in, some states already have had had to curtail health care services. With the projected revenue shortfalls for the next year (or more), how will states pay for their share of the millions of people expected to join the government health care rolls? It can only come from one place: taxpayers’ pockets.

The federal government allocated $5 billion to assist the states, but that amount will be spread out over four years, for all states. As many as 30 million people are predicted to be enrolled in the federal health plan, in addition to those who already receive Medicaid, Medicare and veterans’ health care.

That number might be even higher, given the obstacles the bill imposed on those who want to maintain private coverage.

In order to raise money for the government program, the bill imposes a higher premium tax on commercial insurance and adds new taxes on the development and sale of medical devices. The premium tax will have a direct effect on private insurance costs, while the tax on devices will have an indirect effect — patients could face higher costs that will pay for the charge on new devices, or find themselves dealing with insurers that will only cover the older, and presumably inferior old equipment.

Getting more people insured is a laudable goal. However, policies that increase costs serve to deter, not encourage, participation; that is why so many people are concerned that the law will drive more customers onto tax-supported programs rather than private insurance.

That’s not good if you are a taxpayer, as most people are. Worse, it’s still unclear what will happen to all those millions of people expecting complete health care services when the money runs out. The options mean higher taxes, or lower quality of service.

You can eat popcorn on my diet, but be careful about what type you choose. Airpopped is the best, because it doesn’t require any fat.

But if you choose to pop it in oil, olive is the best. After popping, you can sprinkle on seasonings, such as garlic powder, chili powder or even

just a few days, my night sweats all but disappeared. I kept taking the bee pollen (1,000 milligrams daily) for a few months and then stopped, thinking I didn’t need it anymore. Several months passed with no sweats, but recently they began again, as well as periodic daytime hot flashes. I went back on the bee pollen and, again, after just a few days, I don’t have any more sweating, day or night! I just wanted to pass this on to you and your readers, and to thank you, again, for your wonderful advice.

DEAR READER: Thank you for your kind comments.

I am happy to have helped.

Determining which bucket you are going to use Roswell Daily Record

Imagine going through your dayto-day life carrying two buckets.

One is full of fuel the other is full of water. Every day you are presented with potentially volatile situations and you have a choice which bucket you want to use in addressing what is before you.

On your shoulders is a pole that rests left to right behind your neck.

On each end of the pole are ropes hanging down holding a bucket on each side. The bucket on your right is filled with clear fresh water and the bucket on your left has a highly flammable fluid. If the contents of either bucket are emptied, they automatically refill in order that there is a constant supply of both liquids.

I think each of us lives our lives this way. A step at a time we walk forward through our day. As we travel we come upon many fires along the pathway. The fires are all sizes from barely burning to large infernos. Some of the fires are in our home life, some are at work, and some are in other organizations we are involved with. We have to make a decision each time we come upon a burning fire. We can pour water on the fire, we can pour fuel on the fire, or we can just walk on by.

If we choose to pour water on the fire it will lessen the fire or it may even stop burning. If we put

ing the day we lived. In time we become numb to our unacceptable actions. That is just the way it is.

What if we were able to lighten our load and not carry the fuel filled bucket? What if all we carried was a bucket of water? If we got rid of the fuel filled bucket we would never leave a fire burning brighter than when we came upon it. We would have only two options, walk on by or reduce or eliminate the fire with water from our only bucket.

We live in a world of critical people. Critical people use their buckets of fuel regularly and then become numb to what they are doing. Critical people use words to destroy others. Words can be the worst fuel we can pour on a fire.

Words can destroy another’s spirit.

Words can destroy an organization’s spirit. Words are one way we convey our attitude to others.

Hurting people hurt people. People who have a fire burning them are more apt to try and ignite others. Why not? Misery likes company, right?

Let me translate this concept into a real life example. You belong to a group of people. It may be your workplace, your church, or your home. One member says something extremely negative about another member in your group. There is the fire. You now

out the fire we continue on our journey with smoke rising behind us as the flames have been doused. If we choose to walk by the fire the fire continues to burn as it did when we came upon it.

If we choose to pour fuel on the fire it will ignite and burn stronger.

We will continue on our journey leaving a larger blaze than the one we came upon. The fire will continue to burn brighter and longer waiting for the next person to come upon it. It may spread into other people’s paths. Others could well be burned by the blaze and we may even get burned ourself.

It is funny how we are. We start our day with good intentions. As the day progresses we make good choices and poor choices. Good choices bring constructive results.

Poor choices often hurt others without even thinking about it.

even claim that it can be beneficial in treating or even curing, asthma, allergies, alcoholism, stomach upset and more, but remember that none of this has been proven scientifically.

If you suffer from allergies to pollen, this supplement may cause a serious or even life-threatening reaction, so it is important to talk to your physician before using it. It shouldn’t be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women but otherwise appears to be safe for shortterm use.

get to choose how to respond.

Without thinking you reach for the bucket on your left and pour fuel on the fire. You agree with the other and then add additional negative statements about the person.

You not only affirm the other person’s negativism, you douse it with fuel and raise it to another level.

You don’t set out to hurt the other person, but the results of your action is increasing the fire that is already burning. You are not only hurting the person being talked about and justifying the attitude of the one you are visiting with, you are joining into the destructive atmosphere yourself.

The fire burns brighter on the paths of all three individuals involved.

Now, let’s take the same situation. In response to the negativism being told to you, you suggest to the speaker the two of you sit down with the person being criticized and talk about what your thoughts are. You point out to the speaker the person being criticized may not even know the speaker feels this way. You explain to the speaker the difficulty the person being criticized is experiencing in his or her life.

The end result of your conversation is that you will schedule a meeting together with the two to talk about the speaker’s concerns.

nity to support improvements for our friends and families in the southeast quadrant. Working with Xcel Energy, we are exploring the possibilities of installing street lights in many of the darkest neighborhoods. Additionally, we hope to utilize CDBG funding to install sidewalks along some of the busier arterials. We predict that by shining a little light in those very vulnerable neighborhoods, that parents will be able to better protect their children from temptation and the devastation of criminal behavior.

Likewise, safer pedestrian traffic will enhance opportunities for individuals to gain confidence as they move throughout their neighborhoods.

But the greatest effort to date, in attempting to rein in some of our criminal activity, is being carried out by a man who voluntarily stepped into the top position of our law enforcement, for a brief season in his life.

Chief of Police Dennis Kintigh will accomplish as much in his brief tenure as interim chief, as many would hope to accomplish in a career.

Chief Kintigh has taken the concept of communication and turned it into an incredible lear ning opportunity for everyone.

He took the first step, and dividends are already being paid.

In an environment where “trust” and “confidence” are merely catch phrases, Chief Kintigh has redefined their meanings. Through a

You have used your water bucket and the fire is now contained. I am not saying you can stop the critical speaker from spreading negativism outside your presence, but I am saying you can be sure you are not a part of spreading the fire and you have attempted to douse it the best you can.

I am also not saying that you avoid difficult issues. Whether it is at home or at work, there are usually difficult issues that need addressing. Difficult issues need addressing. These could easily be considered fires along the path.

These fires need to handled with healthy communication again without use of the fuel bucket.

My challenge to you today is to leave your bucket of fuel behind when you start your daily journey.

It can do nothing but cause harm.

Carry your bucket of water and use it regularly and liberally. It will always refill itself. Who knows what difference you will make in the lives of others by putting out negative fires that consume others?

number of town hall meetings, more specifically, one that was held at St. John’s Ava Maria Center, citizens were given the chance to openly and honestly express their personal experiences with law enforcement. And at times, it wasn’t easy to listen. Stories of slow response times, challenges from poor communication, distrust in motivation, and attitudes of authority, seemed to represent the opinions of the greatest number of participants. Each story left lasting impacts on those who shared their experiences, but none of the circumstances were ignored. Every person who spoke was treated with respect and dignity… and that is where law enforcement begins.

I’m not sure that, as a community, we could have been prouder of our police department. Over the course of the evening, Chief Kintigh, and a number of his officers, listened and took note. It’s not every day that such a healing process can occur. There were no denials, no accusations of misinformation and no signs of resentment for the things that were being said. All those involved treated one another with compassion and understanding. Citizens got to vent; officers got to listen. And a great deal was learned.

I wish you would have been there. As the evening wore on, it became apparent that new relationships were being established. Citizens were finding comfort with their police force and our police force was

discovering a renewed understanding of the people they serve. It was pretty remarkable. The message learned, I think, from all involved is that our law enforcement personnel are not the “bad guys” and that the families who grace our neighborhoods are our best resource for fighting crime.

Trust and confidence … and a great deal of communication … will start us on the right path to a safer and healthier Roswell.

So, to my breakfast buddies, thanks again for your love of Roswell and for your unwavering support. It’s extremely satisfying to know that when we work together, we can accomplish some pretty daunting tasks.

Our efforts are not yet complete, but a strong direction has now been established. And if we’ll each share a positive word of encouragement for how we can better grow our community, then certainly we’ll find successes along the way.

City Manager Update: We are down to three very qualified candidates.

Extensive background checks are being performed, dates are being established for a comprehensive on-site interview process and city councilors are being briefed in a series of workshops that will allow them to better know each candidate. Where I once had hoped that we could be through the process by Oct. 14, I now know that it will take until the end of the month. Stay tuned.

Thanks for being a strong community.

Fruit may be hybrid of melon, cucumber

Q. I am an amateur gardener in Albuquerque and have been growing various herbs, tomatoes and vegetables for the past 15 years. Today I noticed a green (1-2 lb.) fruit mixed in with my trellised melons. I picked it, cut it and tasted it. It seemed to be a melon-cucumber cross. The fruit is supple (ripe); the taste is mostly cucumber with a slight sweet taste. The seed pocket was more like a melon; I scooped it easily with a spoon. It is growing in my melon patch, not my cucumber patch. I have one more fruit on this vine. It appears on a vine that is healthy instead of waning like the rest and it seems as though the fruit grew very quickly like a cucumber.

I have read that in general, the two are of different species and will not cross. I beg to differ. Perhaps there is a closer relationship between the varieties I have grown over the years, less of a distinction between species.

It is actually very tasty, and I'd like to save the seeds.

A. I talked to Dr. Chris Cramer, NMSU’s Onion Breeder who has also bred cucumbers. He agreed that melons and cucumbers should not hybridize since they are in different plant species. He pointed out that the species containing the melons (Cucumis melo) is a very large and diverse group of plants, so it is possible to have a plant that is a melon with a green rind and white flesh like yours. The most probable answer is that you may have had an offtype seed in your seed packet. Seed companies clean their equipment between varieties of vegetables, but it is possible that one or a few seeds of a previously cleaned variety remained in the machinery and wound up in your packet.

Dr. Cramer also suggested that it was possible two different melons crossed in the seed production field, producing one that was atypical for the variety that you planted.

Either of these is the most accurate way to explain what happened to produce the interesting fruit in your garden.

That is the scientific answer, but sometimes things happen that are not supposed to happen. So, although it is very unlikely for a cucumber (Cucumis sativus) to hybridize with a melon (Cucumis melo), it is not totally impossible. If you want to test the hypothesis that this

happened in your garden, you can try growing them and observing the characteristics of the fruit produced for several generations (several years) in your garden. This can be an interesting process, but will require that you take measures to prevent cross-pollination with other melons (and cucumbers) in your garden as you do this.

You can grow your test plants in a screen cage to keep natural pollinators out. An easier option is to hand-pollinate the flowers (pollen from male flowers of one plant from your saved seed to a female flower on a different plant from the same group of seeds) and place a mesh bag around the hand-pollinated flower until the fruit begins to develop. Mark the hand-pollinated fruit to distinguish them from fruit that may have formed from pollen brought by natural pollinators. Save seed only from the hand-pollinated fruit for the next year. By doing this, you will not allow foreign pollen to affect the plant. If it is a hybrid plant (from hybridization in your garden, or at the seed producer’s field) the characteristics of the original parents will become apparent in the offspring. If you are correct, after a few years, some plants will produce cucumber-like fruit while others produce melon-like fruit. There may be a number of things in between. If this plant was just a type of melon, then the offspring’s fruits will be melon-like.

A final consideration is that there is a plant called Armenian cucumber that is actually a melon (Cucumis melo), but because of its long narrow shape and flavor, is eaten as a slicing (salad) cucumber. This melon has a greater chance of hybridizing with other melons.

breast cancer awareness month If you have watched television at all recently, you must have noticed or heard about the topic of breast cancer awareness. You may have seen the pink ribbons displayed on cars, heard about the Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization, and seen the televised finish of the Hershey Tour de Pink Charity Bike Ride.

Maybe you noticed all the professional football players wearing pink hats, pink gloves, and many other reminders of the nation’s awareness and concern about this invasive disease.

Likewise, this column this week is intended to help create awareness.

Please, if something strikes a chord with you as a reader, take some action! For more detailed information, you should check internet sites of the American Cancer Society and the Centers for Disease Control.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the U.S., aside from skin cancer, and is the second leading cause —behind lung cancer — of cancer deaths in women. It is estimated that 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in the U.S. this year, and that some 40,000 women and 2,000 men are expected to die from the disease in 2010 alone.

Symptoms of breast cancer may include: • New lump in the breast or underar m (armpit).

• Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.

• Irritation or dimpling of breast skin.

• Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.

• Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area.

• Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.

• Any change in the size or the shape of the breast.

• Pain in any area of

the breast.

How to detect breast cancer?

Monthly breast selfexams are an option for all women beginning by age 20. Women who regularly examine their breasts become more aware of how their breasts nor mally feel.

They are more likely to notice changes — including masses or lumps — that could be early signs of cancer. It’s best to check about a week after your period, when breasts are not swollen or tender. If you no longer have a period, examine yourself on the same day every month. If you see or feel a change in your breasts, see your doctor immediately. But remember, most of the time breast changes are not cancer. Another method of detection is a mammogram.

A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. Doctors use a mammogram to look for early signs of breast cancer. Most women should have their first mammogram at age 40 and then have another mammogram every one or two years.

Why should I have a mammogram?

Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early, sometimes up to three years before it can be felt. When their breast cancer is found early, many women go on to live long and healthy lives. You can schedule an appointment through your health care provider.

The losing streak is officially over.

The New Mexico Military Institute Broncos recorded their first official win on Saturday, handily beating visiting Mesa Community College, 48-20, at Colt Field.

“It’s kind of like a monkey off our back,” said quarterback David Vega after the game. “We just wanted to get over the barrier. We felt like we’ve been pretty close, with games we lost that we should have won.

“It feels good to get this first win.”

Bronco head coach Jeff Lynn was equally relieved to get win No. 1.

“It feels good and we needed this. We were kind of reeling a little, lost two straight, so it feels good to get a blowout. It was a good night.”

The Broncos (1-6, 1-3 Western States Football League) got the win in impressive fashion, rolling up 481 yards of total offense and finding the end zone six times.

Vega said the show put on by the offense stemmed from getting off to a quick start.

“We just wanted to come out in the beginning and get

a good start,” the former Goddard Rocket said. “And that’s what we did. We came out, executed on our first two possessions and got touchdowns.”

Those first two possessions both ended with Vega touchdowns; the first on a keeper and the second on a pass from the QB to Xan Mangum.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Kellen Moore and No. 4 Boise State made it look easy from the start.

The Broncos needed five plays and a little more than two minutes to score their first touchdown, their quickest opening score this season.

With the help of an opportunistic defense, Moore directed Boise State to touchdowns on four of its next six first-half possessions and cruised to a 57-14 victory over Toledo Saturday night.

Looking to impress voters after dropping a spot in the polls, Boise State (5-0) can’t afford letting lesser opponents that make up their midseason schedule hang around.

That wasn’t a problem against Toldeo.

Moore threw three touchdowns in the first half, the offense rolled up 500 total yards and that starters started getting rest early in the third quarter.

“We don’t want to hold anything back. We want to go fast form start to finish.

Some games it may not seem like that,” coach Chris Petersen said. “But part of that is that we want to show new stuff. We want the next team to put the film on and say, ’We have to prepare for all this stuff?”’

The victory also extended Boise State’s unbeaten streak to 19 games.

In sports it often seems as if the simpler the play, the harder it is to execute.

For the Goddard boys soccer team’s 2-1 loss to Artesia on Saturday, the Rockets inability to score when there was no goalie in front of the goal cost them dearly.

In the 31st minute Goddard had a golden chance to break a 0-0 tie when the Rocket offense caught the Bulldog goalie 15-feet away from the goal.

Goddard’s Armando Sarellano had two contested shots on goal, but he wasn’t able to get enough on either shot and the Artesia defense cleared the ball and allowed their keeper to get back into position.

In the 34th minute, the Rockets had the exact same situation, but Shawn Luck’s

Gamecocks upset top ranked Alabama, 35-21 Goddard’s Armando Sarellano (9) and Artesia’s Ruben Carrasco (10) go after a ball during the first half of their game at the Cielo Grande Recreation Complex, Saturday.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — After delivering South Carolina’s biggest win ever, all coach Steve Spurrier could do was smile.

“I think that this game was meant to be,” he said.

The way the Gamecocks played, it sure seemed like it.

Stephen Garcia threw three touchdown passes, two to Alshon Jeffrey, and Marcus Lattimore scored three times as 19th-ranked South Carolina stunned No. 1 Alabama 35-21 on Saturday.

Never before had the Gamecocks beaten a team ranked No. 1 — at least not in football. So Spurrier had plenty of reason to bask in one of the biggest victories of his illustrious career.

When Spurrier arrived at South Carolina (4-1, 2-1) from the Washington Redskins, expectations in

Columbia soared. He had dominated the SEC and led Florida to a national championship in 1996 before trying out the NFL. South Carolina has been solid under Spurrier, but still hasn’t won the SEC East — and never really has come close. This bunch of Gamecocks might be able to change that with a winning mix of dynamic skill players and dominating defenders that could keep them in the title chase all season.

“I said ‘Fellas, if fate means for us to win this game Saturday then let’s give it a chance. Let’s give fate a chance to happen,”’ Spurrier said.

Opponents have had little chance against Alabama the past few seasons.

of eight catches on the night for a 55-yard touchdown that — after Sonny Duran hit Darrel Carr for a two-point conversion — made it 15-0.

NMMI had its lead out to 20-0 in the second quarter, thanks to a safety and a 31-yard Jarred Martin field goal, before Mesa scored on a Maurice Trotter 52yard TD catch to make it 20-7.

NMMI took over with 1:23 left in the half, giving Vega and the Broncos enough time to mount a drive. Vega completed 4 of

SPORTS 5 passes on the drive, hitting Mangum with a 27yard completion that took the ball down to the Thunderbird 4.

Two plays later, Vega was powering his way to paydirt with a 4-yard run that gave NMMI a 27-7 lead.

Vega said after the game that the halftime lead was big for the Broncos.

“The 27-7 halftime lead was pretty big for us, because that’s what we wanted to come out and do.”

NMMI pushed its lead to 41-7 by the end of third quarter with scoring runs of 48 yards and 1 yard by E.J. Perkins-Loving and Vega, respectively.

Perkins-Loving led a Bronco ground game that had 229 yards with 101 yards on nine carries and the third-quarter TD. Vega also had nine carries and finished with 31 yards and three touchdowns. Through the air, he was 19 of 34 for 247 yards and the TD pass to Mangum, who finished with eight catches for 167 yards.

Despite the fact that this was NMMI’s first official win, Vega said the Broncos are still confident.

“We think we have a good team here,” he said.

“A couple of miscues in the other games led us to not getting the wins, but I

wanted to go in today really focused. We wanted to make sure we controlled the ball.

We pretty much did that. We did it consistently today, which is something we haven’t been doing all year.

“I think that it is something we have been really pressing, practicing and talking about. We were hoping it would eventually click and I think it’s starting to do that. Hopefully we can continue it.”

“We did get off to a slow start in both games,” NMMI assistant coach Robert Nordorf said. “But we were able to put together a productive second effort late in both games. We tell our guys we aren’t out to win the first half, we’re out to win the second half of our ball games and that’s what we did. We tell them it doesn’t have to be pretty. A win’s a win.”

think we’re a good team.”

NMMI’s defense allowed just 218 yards to Mesa (06, 0-4), which entered the game as the worst-ranked offense in the WSFL. The Thunderbirds had just 68 yards on the ground and were led by Travis Bromley’s 17-carry, 54-yard performance.

“They played really well,” Lynn said of his defense.

“They were physical and we kind of challenged them all week that we were going to be aggressive with our play calls.

“We wanted them to pin their ears back and go.

They did that tonight and really got after it.”

shot was deflected away from the goal by a defender and the game went to the half scoreless.

“Those missed opportunities were huge,” Goddard assistant coach Tim Lucas said. “That was frankly the difference in the game. We played well enough to win the game, especially win the last 20 minutes. But when you’re down already and have to come back instead of being up by one or two goals, it makes things very difficult.”

The defending national champions had won 19 straight games — including last week’s 31-6 rout of Florida — since losing the Sugar Bowl to Utah after the 2008 season.

But facing a third consecutive ranked SEC team caught up with Alabama as Garcia and the Gamecocks used the Crimson T ide’s formula for success: Cashing in on chances close to the goal line and limiting the country’s best tailback duo in Mark Ingram and T rent Richardson to 64 yards.

South Carolina shredded the country’s top-rated scoring defense, putting up the most points on Alabama (5-1, 2-1) since a 4134 loss to LSU in 2007.

The Gamecocks scored four touchdowns when they got inside the ’Bama 20 — double what the Crimson Tide had allowed coming in.

“It’s not like we just lost.

They beat us,” said Alabama coach Nick Saban, now 1-3 against Spurrier.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Amarillo, Texas — The NMMI Broncos baseball team won two games on Saturday.

In its first game NMMI beat the Black Sox 6-5.

In the nightcap against the Vorian Bullfrogs, the Broncos used a six-run fifth inning to win 15-10 in seven innings.

NMMI trailed 5-4 heading into the fifth but exploded for six runs to take a 10-5 lead.

The big hit of the inning came when Luis Maldonado into the second half.

The Bulldogs increased their lead in the 55th minute when D’Angelo Garcia scored to give Artesia a 2-0 lead.

At about this time, Goddard changed up their scheme to put the pressure on the Bulldogs’ defense.

“We switched our formation to a 4-3-3, so we were up an extra forward,” Lucas said. “We tried to throw an extra wrinkle in. Artesia’s defense looked tired, so we figured one more guy for them to worry about might give us the chance to score.

It worked, but just not for as many goals as we hoped.”

With the extra forward, Goddard climbed to within a goal in the 75th minute on a Shawn Luck goal.

“They outexecuted us.

They played better than we played. They played with more intensity. They played physical.”

Saban wants the Tide to remember this should they run into the Gamecocks for the SEC championship game.

“I actually talked to (Greg) McElroy after the game and he said, ‘We’ll see you all again,”’ said Garcia, who was pulled from South Carolina’s last game, a 35-27 loss at Aubur n, after fumbling twice.

Alabama tried to rally back as it had against Arkansas two games ago, this time cutting South Carolina’s 21-3 lead to 2821 with most of the fourth quarter left.

The Crimson T ide’s charge came courtesy of an odd safety by Garcia — Spurrier threw his notes about 5 yards onto the field when his quarterback grabbed a wayward shotgun snapped and flung it through his own end zone from about the 2 — a field goal and a 51-yard touchdown catch by Darius Hanks.

HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY Goddard

Andrew Martin (17 minutes and 28 seconds, 13th place) and Haley Griffin (22:58, 23rd) were the top finishers for the Rockets on Saturday.

“Andrew is recovering from the flu that is going around,” said Goddard coach Vernon Dyer. “That was not his best time. Haley is an 8th-grader and she keeps getting stronger. She keeps building and this was one of her better times.”

In the final minute, Luck had a one-on-one opportunity, but his shot from outside the box sailed wideleft.

Despite the loss, Lucas thought the Rockets played well.

“Honestly, I think our whole team did a really good job today,” he said. “I can’t fault one group of players for the loss. It was a team effort. I thought it was a good team effort. In the first half, I don’t think our forwards were quite ready for Artesia’s defense.

“They adapted to it very quickly and I thought they did a good job once they realized what was going on.

We have to do a better job as coaches of making sure they know what is going on.”

Peter Zelowski (18:31, 30th) and Carter Latimer (19:44, 44th) were other top finishers for the boys, while Jaquelyn Gonzales (23:13, 26th) and Miranda Saavedra (23:09, 29th) rounded out Goddard’s top three girls finishers.

Gustavo Sierra (16:50, 5th) and Anna Olesinski (19:22, 1st) were the top finishers for the Coyotes on Saturday.

“Gustavo had an OK run,” Roswell coach Jack Batson said. “Anytime you finish fifth, that’s not bad. But he didn’t run as well as he has been. Anna ran really well.

“We ran 5,000 meters instead of three miles. So this is one of her best times of the year.”

Eduardo Hernandez (18:21, 28th) and Gavino Alvarado (23:05, 40th) rounded out Roswell’s top three boys finishers, while Xochi Ortega (22:44, 20th) and Diana Valencia (24:45, 38th) were other top finishers for the girls.

The loss dropped Goddard to 0-2 in district play and Lucas knows his team has a tough road ahead if they want to have a say in who claims the district crown.

“Every game in district is crucial,” he said. “You don’t like to lose a single game in district. Now we’re looking at hopefully finishing district 2-2. Obviously, that is a big task when a team has already beaten you once and they are confident because they know they’ve beat you once.

“The good news is that we have a good group of kids. They are straight up young men and they know what they need to do to go win those games. Hopefully we can get it done.” l.foster@roswell-record.com

Stanford beats USC

Roswell Daily Record

STANFORD, Calif.

(AP) — Nate Whitaker made up for a missed extra point by kicking a 30-yard field goal on the final play to give No. 16 Stanford a 37-35 victory over Southern California on Saturday night.

Whitaker missed his earlier kick after Stanford’s fifth touchdown and that was the difference in the game before Andrew Luck calmly drove the Cardinal (5-1, 2-1 Pac-10) down the field to set up the first game-winning kick of Whitaker’s career.

Robert Woods caught 12 passes for 224 yards and three touchdowns and Matt Barkley threw for 390 yards and the three scores for the Trojans (4-2, 1-2), who lost for the second straight week on a field goal in the final seconds. USC lost 32-31 at home to Washington last week.

The Cardinal were expected to win coming into the game after getting off to a fast start this season and having beaten the Trojans 5521 in Los Angeles last year. The most memorable moment in that game came when Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh chose to go for a 2-point conversion with a 27-point lead and less than 7 minutes remaining.

It looked for a while as if the conversion after a touchdown for Stanford in the fourth once again would be the key play. Stepfan Taylor lost a fumble at the

USC 48 with 4:14 remaining and the Cardinal leading 34-28.

Barkley completed a 15-yard pass to Stanley Havili on fourth-and-2 and Allen Bradford capped the drive with his 3-yard run with 1:08 remaining. Joe Houston’s extra point made it 35-34.

Stanford took over at its 26 with 1:02 left and two timeouts. The drive got an immediate boost when Chris Galippo was called for a personal foul after the first play to move the ball to the Stanford 45.

Luck followed with completions to Coby Fleener and Doug Baldwin to get the ball to the USC 31. Taylor then carried twice for 21 yards and Luck took a knee to set up Whitaker’s kick.

USC coach Lane Kiffin chose not to ice Whitaker, who drilled the winning kick for his 15th straight made field goal, setting off a mad celebration on the field.

Luck completed 20 of 24 passes for 285 yards and three TDs. Taylor ran for 104 yards and one touchdown and Doug Baldwin caught six passes for 98 yards and two scores.

The second half was mostly a highlight reel for Luck and Barkley.

The teams scored touchdowns on five straight possessions at one point before USC was stopped on a fourth down with 6:54 remaining.

Nets’ Troy Murphy may miss opener with back injury

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Nets power forward Troy Murphy may miss the season opener because of a lower back injury.

Nets coach Avery Johnson said Saturday that Murphy had a “bad disk� and would be sidelined indefinitely. He does not think Murphy will require surgery.

Murphy will not accompany the Nets on their upcoming trip to Russia and China. He will be reevaluated when the team returns.

Johnson hopes Murphy might be able to practice in the week leading up to the opener against Detroit on Oct. 27.

Murphy was acquired this summer as part of a four-team deal. The New Jersey native has averaged 12.1 points and 8.6 rebounds in his previous nine seasons. “We’re concerned about his back,� Johnson said. “He’s just going to be out for a little while.�

Derrick Favors, the No. 3 overall pick in the NBA draft, started for the Nets on Saturday in their preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Johnson noted that Favors might be the team’s starting power forward on opening night. “It gives us a chance to prepare because we probably won’t have (Murphy) to start the season,� Johnson said.

Johnson said Murphy was working hard to get in shape for the season when his back started bothering him. “Right now we’re just going to plan on him not being there for the start of the season and if we get a surprise and his back responds well to this treatment and he can get back for a practice before the season starts then that will be a home run,� Johnson said.

Favre starring in one drama he wants no role in

Brett Favre always figured to be the center of attention on this, the fifth week of the NFL season. Even before the Vikings signed Randy Moss, there were story lines aplenty in his return to New York to play against a team he parted ways with on shaky terms.

It’s a safe guess he didn’t figure on this.

The headlines are still mostly about the game, because the game is about as good as it gets. A good portion of the country will tune in Monday night wondering whether the only grandfather behind center in the NFL can pull out another miracle against time while facing a defense that can’t wait to get its hands on him.

But they’ll also be wondering about something else.

They’ll be wondering if it’s all true.

The voice mails that are downright creepy.

The pictures that are downright obscene.

The scandal, if true, will never let you look at Favre in a Wranglers commercial the same way again.

Stop now if this is all sounding like something we’ve been through before. We are, after all, fast approaching the one-year anniversary of the night Tiger Woods drove his Escalade into a fire hydrant and his secret world came crashing down around him.

That was shocking, almost beyond belief.

This is just, well, disgusting.

Assuming, of course, that it’s even true.

The website Deadspin certainly thinks it is, and the people who run it better hope so. They paid cash — and lots of it, apparently — for evidence that allegedly shows Favre had an infatuation with a woman who worked at Jets games that went far beyond the “Look at her, she’s hot� thing that most athletes tend to engage in when an attractive woman passes by.

Favre was quarterbacking New York at the time and a voice that sounds suspiciously like his is heard on the voice mails that Deadspin obtained, inviting game hostess Jenn Sterger to visit him in his room. That alone would be inappropriate behavior for a married man, but it gets worse.

Much worse.

There are pictures. Lewd pictures allegedly of Favre, all allegedly sent by Favre to Sterger and posted in all their glory on the website.

The term for it these days is sexting. There are other legal terms for it if it’s done without the consent of the receiving party, and that and the fact Sterger was working for the Jets at the time is apparently what stirred the NFL to look into the matter.

The league says it’s investigating and, hopefully, the first assumption the NFL begins with is one of innocence. It should be noted that Sterger never made a formal complaint about the matter, and a spokesman for the former model turned TV personality says she never gave the voice mails or pictures to Deadspin.

The website itself even covered its bases some by acknowledging “there’s a possibility that the person communicating with Jenn was not actually Brett Favre, but rather someone trying very hard to appear to be him.�

Still, Favre had a chance to deny everything at a Thursday news conference where all questions except one were about football and didn’t.

Asked directly about the reports, he answered indirectly. “I’m not getting into that,� Favre said. “I’ve got my hands full with the Jets and am trying to get some timing down with our guys, so that’s all I’m going to discuss.�

It’s all very titillating, of course, which is all that seems to matter in today’s new world of communications. The voice mails will draw hits to the website, much like the voice mails that Woods left to one of his mistresses did for another site in the days following his infamous accident.

But if it’s not terribly shocking, well, maybe that’s because we’ve seen it all before. After Woods and his cadre of mistresses it’s hard to be shocked — or even surprised — by anything any athlete either does or is rumored to have done.

What all of it means to Minnesota’s chances of knocking off the Jets on Monday night, who knows. Vikings fans — and Favre fans — surely hope their favorite quarterback isn’t so easily distracted that he goes up against the ferocious Jets defense while wondering just what the NFL is looking into and how deep they plan to look.

If the voice mails and pictures weren’t from Favre, he should take comfort in the fact the league has top flight investigators who should be able to quickly disprove their legitimacy.

If they were from Favre, he better start worrying about the ramifications of starring in the one drama he wants no role in.

Childress says Favre report not a distraction

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress said he has talked with Brett Favre about an NFL investigation into allegations that he sent racy photos to a former game hostess while he played for the New York Jets.

Childress said that a report on the website Deadspin and the subsequent news of a league investigation have not been a distraction for the team this week as it prepares to play the Jets on Monday night. “We just talk about what’s out there and look it right in the eye and deal with it to the extent we can,� Childress said on Saturday. “It doesn’t affect anybody else in this locker room, except Brett Favre.�

Childress said he knew nothing about the details of the Deadspin report and hasn’t heard from the league. He declined to speak specifically about his conversation with Favre. “We always speak about (reports); about everything,� Childress said.

Favre was not made available for comment, and the team said he did not plan to speak on the matter Saturday. He declined comment during his regular news conference on Thursday.

Deadspin posted a story that day which included several voicemails alleged to be sent

by Favre to Jenn Sterger, who worked for the Jets at the time. The voice mails include a man asking to meet up with Sterger, who now is a TV personality for the Versus network. The website posted a video that contained the voicemails and several graphic pictures — said to be Favre — that were allegedly sent to Sterger’s cell phone.

Sterger’s manager, Phil Reese, said on Friday that his client “did not provide Deadspin with any information.�

Deadspin said it paid a third party for the material and acknowledged that it’s possible the man who sent the voice mails and photos may not be Favre.

The NFL said on Friday that it would review

Cowboys want ’fresh start’ to begin vs. 2-2 Titans

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Unlike a playground game interrupted by a stray dog, NFL seasons rarely allow do-overs. The Dallas Cowboys may have stumbled into something close.

Their season was on the verge of collapse when they left Cowboys Stadium at 0-2. But they return Sunday to play Tennessee feeling good about how things are going.

They cleaned up some bad practice habits, then saw it lead to a dominant performance against then-undefeated Houston in a hostile road game. They’ve kept up that new routine and welcomed more guys into it as everyone is healthy for the first time all season. Nobody in the division has pulled away through it all, nor has anyone in the conference. And now they’re going into the softest part of their schedule.

Oh, one more thing. They’ve won at least three straight games coming out of a bye in every season under coach Wade Phillips. “I think it is a fresh start,� Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. “If we play like we did against Houston we can win a lot of games in this league. That is what is going to motivate us to play well the rest of the season.�

The Cowboys (1-2) play three of their next four games at home. None of those foes has a winning record, starting with the Titans (2-2).

Besides, even Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher points out that Dallas wasn’t exactly routed in its two losses. Both were decided late and the Cowboys made all sorts of mistakes in both. “We’ll get the best Cowboy team to date I’m sure,� Fisher said.

Phillips, meanwhile, is offering similar praise of Tennessee, noting the Titans lost by only eight to a strong Pittsburgh team and by six last weekend, albeit at home against Denver. “They could easily be 4-0,� Phillips said Tennessee has been in a cycle of win-lose, win-lose. By that measure, it’s winning time.

There are plenty of intriguing layers to this matchup, like Titans quarterback Vince Young trying to prove it was only a coincidence that both of his team’s losses were against 3-4 defenses, like the Cowboys use.

There’s the 16 sacks by the Tennessee defense, tied for the most in the NFL, against Tony Romo and a Cowboys offense that’s allowed a league-low one sack. “Regardless of whether it’s Romo or Johnny Unitas back there,� said defensive end Dave Ball, Tennessee’s leading sack man with 4 1/2, “we’re going to try to get that guy on the ground.�

Then there’s Titans running back Chris Johnson against a Dallas defense that had gone 22 games without allowing a 100-yard rusher before giving up 101 to Houston’s Arian Foster.

Johnson is coming off a meager 53 yards against Denver. He’s going to have to pick up the pace if he expects to reach his goal of 2,500 yards this season.

He’ll certainly be looking to prove a point to the Cowboys. They had a chance to draft him in 2008, and he wanted to play for them, but Dallas instead went with Felix Jones, a big-play threat who so far this season has only been a threat. “Oh you think about that,� said Johnson, who went to Tennessee just two picks later. “You want to go in the game and do better than that guy, any running back I’m playing I feel like I’m competing against. But that’s a special situation playing against them and they picked him over me. ... I’m sure it’ll be fun.�

But will it be good, clean fun?

The Broncos accused the Titans of “playing dirty after the snap.� Tennessee leads the NFL in overall penalties and in personal fouls — nine, all on a defense whose coordinator, Chuck Cecil, was fined $40,000 this week for making an obscene gesture. “Our penalties are high right now,� Fisher said. “We have to get them under control and we will.�

The Cowboys are just hoping to stay in control, to not get baited into doing anything that might draw a flag. “Once the play is made, we need to get up and get back to our huddle,� defensive end Marcus Spears said. “I think that’s the best way you nullify guys trying to do extra stuff.�

While the Cowboys are completely healthy, the Titans aren’t.

Starting receiver Justin Gage didn’t finish the Denver game because of a strained left hamstring. He didn’t practice Wednesday.

Tennessee also lost top draft pick Derrick Morgan, a defensive end, for the season, but could replace him with Jacob Ford, who has recovered from his own problem with a right ankle-knee sprain.

These teams last met in October 2006, a game that proved memorable for many reasons: then-Tennessee defender Albert Haynesworth stomping his cleats into the face of Dallas center Andre Gurode, Terrell Owens’ first game following an accidental overdose and Young’s first NFL start.

Tennessee also is in the midst of a 10-game winning streak against teams from the opposite conference, including a 29-10 smashing of Dallas’ division rival, the New York Giants, just two weeks ago.

Sunday, October 10, 2010 The Texans are less certain about the status of star receiver Andre Johnson, who missed last week’s 31-24 win in Oakland with a sprained right ankle. Johnson sat out Wednesday’s practice, but Kubiak was optimistic that Johnson will play against New York.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin said his defense showed major progress in limiting the Bears to 110 yards and six first downs. The defense has been learning a new scheme under first-year coordinator Perry Fewell. “We just caution them to remember now that it’s just getting started,� Coughlin said. “We applied the plan, we executed the plan. Some of the things that we thought we could do we did very well, we did them with consistency, we did them over four quarters.�

Coughlin has injury concerns on the offensive side.

Running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who rushed for 129 yards against Chicago, sat out Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury. And the offensive line has been shuffled a bit with center Shaun O’Hara unlikely to play due to an ankle injury. His backup, Adam Koets, sustained a mild knee strain against the Bears and left guard Rich Seubert moved over to play center this week. Tackle David Diehl took Seubert’s spot and Shawn Andrews replaced Diehl.

That line will face an improving Houston defense. The Texans sacked Oakland’s Bruce Gradkowski four times last week, with defensive end Antonio Smith getting two.

Giants quarterback Eli Manning had planned to talk to his older brother about attacking the Houston defense. Peyton Manning threw for 433 yards and three touchdowns in the Colts’ season-opening loss to the Texans. “They’ve got a number of great players with great speed up the field,� Eli Manning said. “Especially if their offense can get a lead, those athletic defensive ends and defensive tackles are going to fly up the field and make it tough.

We need to mix in ways to get the ball out quick-

ly while also getting a chance to get the ball down the field.�

The Texans should get a boost with the return of linebacker Brian Cushing after a fourgame drug suspension. Cushing had 133 tackles, four sacks and four interceptions last season to win the 2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year award, and the Texans think he will help both the pass rush and a secondary that’s allowing a league-worst 338 yards passing per game.

HOUSTON (AP) — Gary Kubiak has been worrying all week.

As soon as the Houston Texans returned from a win at Oakland last Sunday, general manager Rick Smith gave the coach an alarming update: The Giants had put up nine sacks in the first half of a 17-3 win over Chicago and knocked Bears quarterback Jay Cutler out of the game with a concussion. Every starter on New York’s defensive line wound up with at least one sack and ends Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora finished with three apiece.

The next guy in the Giants’ crosshairs?

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub. “It’s scary,� Kubiak said. “What they did in that game hasn’t been done too many times in this league. They can get after you, they can cause a lot of problems.�

The Texans (3-1) think their versatile offense is better equipped than the Bears’ passoriented system to handle the intimidating defensive front of the Giants (2-2).

But still.

Schaub has been sacked 11 times in the first four games — second-most in the league along with Kyle Orton and Michael Vick — though the Raiders didn’t get to him last weekend.

Even with the sacks, Houston ranks second in the league in total offense (415.5 yards per game) and has put up big numbers both running and passing, though usually not in the same game. The Texans said the Bears and offensive coordinator Mike Martz were too predictable in their play-calling and it cost them against New York. “Defensive linemen in this league are not stupid. They know what’s going on,� Houston left tackle Rashad Butler said. “They knew the Bears were going to throw the ball 40-plus times a game. I’m pretty sure after a while they weren’t even trying to play the run.�

Houston will test the Giants with the NFL’s leading rusher, Arian Foster, and the league’s top rushing offense (172 yards per game). New York’s defense ranks 22nd in stopping the run (117.2 yards per game), and let Tennessee’s Chris Johnson rush for 125 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-10 loss two weeks ago.

New Mexico’s Jaymar Latchison (48) and Terel Anyalbe (45) watch as the New Mexico State play unfolds during their game, Saturday. NMSU’s 16-14 win, was its first of the season.

LAS CRUCES (AP) — Tyler Stampler’s 22-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining gave New Mexico State a 16-14 victory over New Mexico Saturday night.

Andrew Manley, a freshman, came off the bench to relieve injured quarterback Tanner Rust. Manley completed both of his pass attempts, for 11 and 21 yards, to set up Stampler’s third field goal of the game.

New Mexico State (1-4) won a week after losing 590 to No. 4 Boise State on the same field.

New Mexico (0-6) was plagued by four turnovers in falling to its in-state rivals for the second consecutive year. Tyler Clay recovered a fumble in the end zone for New Mexico State’s only touchdown.

Brad Gruner completed 10 of 20 passes for 145 yards for the Lobos. Bryan Williams had four catches for 97 yards, including a 42-yard touchdown catch that put New Mexico up 7-6 in the first quarter.

No. 2 Ohio State 38, Indiana 10

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Even though he says he never looks back, Ohio State coach Jim T ressel couldn’t help but reflect on his 100th victory with the Buckeyes. “It’s exciting every time you win,� he said after Terrelle Pryor ’s three touchdown passes and 334 yards led the second-ranked Buckeyes to a 38-10 victory over Indiana on Saturday. “We’ve had a lot of awfully good players here and our coaching staf f has been outstanding. A lot of those 100 wins have been here at home and we’ve got great fans. “This is a place that, if they let you stay long enough, you should win 100.�

After the game, Tressel was congratulated by athletic director Gene Smith.

Tressel’s wife, Ellen, joined him on the dais.

He went on to remember his father, hall of fame college coach Lee T ressel, whom he played for at Baldwin-Wallace. “This was always his team,� Tressel said of his father, who died in 1981 — four years before Jim got his first head coaching job. “No matter where he coached in high school or college, Ohio State was very special.�

Tressel improved to 23578-2 in 25 years (the first 15 at Football Championship Subdivision Youngstown State). He won his 100th at Ohio State in his 121st game, the thirdfastest among Big Ten coaches. And he is likely to be coaching the No. 1 team in the country by Sunday after noon when the new rankings come out after No. 1 Alabama lost 35-21 at South Carolina.

Pryor, who had strained a left thigh muscle a week ago at Illinois, proved he was the picture of health.

He threw for a career-best 334 yards and three touchdowns.

Pryor hit on scoring pass-

es covering 22 yards to Dane Sanzenbacher, 60 yards to Brandon Saine and 17 yards to DeVier Posey as the Buckeyes (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten) rolled to their 12th consecutive win — and 16th in a row over the Hoosiers (3-2, 0-2).

It was a big deal that he helped Tressel get a watershed win. “I was messing with him in the quarterback meeting today about the 100th win,� Pryor said. “I look at him as a father figure.

Every week, I learn something new from him.�

Indiana came in averaging 40 points and almost 350 passing yards a game, but quarterback Ben Chappell was harassed all day, completing 16 of 26 for 106 yards with two interceptions.

No. 3 Oregon 43, Washington State 23

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — LaMichael James scored three touchdowns, including an 84-yard scoring reception, and No. 3 Oregon shook Washington State in the second half for a 43-23 win on Saturday.

Coming off a big home win over Stanford that flew the Ducks past Boise State in the AP Top 25, Oregon struggled to make just enough plays to hold off the pesky Cougars. But whether it was enough for the Ducks to hold their spot in the polls remains to be seen. Oregon (6-0, 3-0) was a 36-point favorite, yet led just 36-23 late in the third quarter.

Even for the big boys, style points count.

Backup quarterback Nate Costa played the final three quarters for Oregon after Darron Thomas left with an apparent shoulder injury.

Costa led three scoring drives and ran for an 18yard touchdown.

No. 5 TCU 45, Wyoming 0

FOR T WOR TH, Texas (AP) — Andy Dalton threw for a season-high 270 yards and three touchdowns a week after his worst game of the season and TCU recorded consecutive shutouts for the first time in 55 years in the No. 5 Frogs’ 45-0 victory against Wyoming on Saturday.

Dalton was 14 of 17 and surpassed last week’s passing total on the first play of the second quarter, a 31yard strike to Bart Johnson that put the Horned Frogs (6-0, 2-0 Mountain West)

ahead 21-0.

Wyoming (2-4, 0-2 Mountain West) had to go with backup quarterback Dax Crum because the injured Austyn Carta-Samuels didn’t make the trip. Crum completed a 40-yard pass on a handof f-reversethrowback trick play to start the game but the Cowboys generated just 151 total yards after that.

TCU led 31-0 at halftime a week after going to the break up just 6-0 against Colorado State, where Dalton finished 11 of 24 with a late TD pass in a 27-0 win.

But this Dalton was the one Frogs fans remember.

In his last home start, he set a TCU accuracy record by going 21 of 23 in a 4510 rout of Baylor. He’s now 50 of 61 for 719 yards with six touchdowns and no interceptions in three home starts.

Part of the problem in Colorado was misfiring on deep throws, but Dalton was on target against the Cowboys. He hit Jeremy Kerley in stride for a 50yard touchdown one play after a nifty 14-yard run on third-and-7, Dalton’s 17th rushing first down of the season.

Dalton hooked up with Skye Dawson on another deep ball for 43 yards to set up a highlight-reel run by Ed Wesley, who spun out of a crouch with his knee just inches from the ground and bounced off several more defenders for a 17-yard score that put the Frogs up 28-0.

Wesley finished with 115 yards and a touchdown on just 17 carries. He and Dalton both were on the bench for good early in the fourth quarter after Dalton’s 4yard TD pass to Antoine Hicks, who also had a 2yard scoring run on his first carry of the season.

Wyoming had a chance to ruin TCU’s consecutive shutouts when Crum hit Robert Herron for 38 yards on a drive that reached the Frogs’ 13. But TCU’s Tyler Luttrell intercepted Crum’s pass at the 4 with 7:13 left in the game.

The back-to-back shutouts were the first for TCU since 1955, when the Frogs had three straight shutouts against Texas Tech, Arkansas and Alabama. TCU, ranked seventh nationally in total defense coming in at 238 yards per game, held Wyoming to 191.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn coach Gene Chizik had a point to make after the win over LouisianaMonroe: There’s more to the eighth-ranked Tigers’ offense than Cam Newton’s double-dip playmaking.

He might have made it during the game, too.

Auburn’s biggest playmaker spent the 52-3 romp Saturday getting the ball to the other guys instead of gobbling up yards with either designed or improvised runs — and absorbing the hits that come with them. “I just want to be real clear,� Chizik said. “There are 10 other guys out there.

Of course, the quarterback is going to get the blame and the credit, but there are 10 other guys out there who play their rear end off every snap, every game. “He does not have to win the games for us. We have a lot of good players out there, and he needs to do what we ask him to do within the offense to help us win the game but he does not need to win the games. We have other good players out there, and they all just need to play within the structure of the offense.�

The structure of Auburn’s offense likely still revolves around Newton’s ability to run as well as pass, since that’s been a big factor in rising to the team’s highest ranking since 2006. Just not this time.

Newton har nessed his running abilities by staying put in the pocket. He was credited with one run in his 2 1/2 quarters, and that came on a sack.

The benefit for Auburn is that Newton heads into a difficult four-game stretch without taking more of a pounding. “Our plan was to keep him from running the ball much,� offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said. “He’s carried the ball a lot the last couple of weeks. We’ll do whatever we have to do to win the game. (Saturday), we didn’t have to run him. “It’s good that his body won’t be banged up.�

Newton had run 25 times the previous week against South Carolina, and at least 15 in each of the previous three games.

Now, Aubur n is set to finish October with visits to Kentucky and Mississippi sandwiched around games with No. 11 Arkansas and No. 12 LSU. Newton seemed content to be the distributor during his 2 1/2 quarters of action. He completed 14 of 19 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns.

Newton has now had a direct hand in 17 of Auburn’s 24 touchdowns. “It’s just not me,� he said. “As far as the offensive line, I feel like I could have stood back there another 2 seconds and no one would have touched me. Everybody’s hard work is showing up, and well deserved.�

His day did include a 94yarder to Emory Blake that was the longest play from scrimmage in Auburn his-

Oregon State 29, No. 9 Arizona 27

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — R yan Katz threw for 393 yards and two touchdowns, sneaked across for another score and Oregon State held on to upset No. 9 Arizona 29-27 on Saturday night.

The sophomore from Santa Monica, Calif., completed 30 of 42 against an Arizona defense that had been ranked No. 2 nationally, giving up 230.8 yards per game.

The Wildcats (4-1, 1-1 Pac-10), in the top 10 for the first time since the 1999 preseason rankings, never led in a loss that dampened their hopes for the school’s first trip to the Rose Bowl. The Wildcats’ Nick Foles completed 35 of 46 for 440 yards and three touchdowns.

Oregon State (3-2, 2-0) lost standout receiver James Rodgers to a knee injury in the second quarter. He was in street clothes on crutches in the second half after seven catches for 102 yards, including a 33yarder for the Beavers’ first score.

Foles’ 12-yard touchdown pass to Keloa Antolin cut the lead to 29-27 with 1:52 to play but Oregon State recovered the subsequent onside kick attempt.

Arizona got the ball on its own 20 with two seconds left and tried to use a short pass and a series of laterals to score. But Antolin was stopped at midfield to finish Oregon State’s fifth consecutive victory in Tucson.

The teams combined for 1,027 yards in a game that featured five touchdown plays of 33 yards or longer.

Rodgers’ younger brother, Jacquizz, rushed for 92

yards in 25 carries and caught three passes for 41 yards. His 1-yard touchdown run with 5:46 to play put the Beavers up 29-20.

James Rodgers, a senior who had missed the previous week’s game with a concussion suffered in a loss at Boise State, made a fingertip catch of Katz’s deep pass for what would have been a 56-yard touchdown with 5:07 left in the half. But he was hit by Arizona’s Adam Hall as he crossed into the end zone, then went down in pain. He was helped off the field with no weight on his left knee.

The score was called back by an illegal receiver downfield penalty.

Foles connected on touchdown passes of 45, 33 and 12 yards but Katz matched him all the way.

The Oregon State coaching staff had held Katz down as he opened his first season as a starter but have unleashed him in the first two Pac-10 games. He threw for 260 yards in the Beavers’ 31-28 victory over Arizona State a week ago.

No. 10 Utah 68, Iowa State 27

Smithson, a wide receiver, gave the Utes a 17-14 lead with a 32-yard touchdown pass. Matt Asiata and Wide followed with short TD runs, and Wynn found Smithson for a 61-yard touchdown to make it 3814 late in the first half.

Rays use late rally to top Rangers, 6-3 SPORTS

Roswell Daily Record

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tampa Bay’s hitters woke up just in time, and the Rays get to play another day.

John Jaso lined a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning after Carlos Pena delivered a rare clutch playoff hit for Tampa Bay, and the Rays avoided elimination in the AL division series with a 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday.

The Rays, the AL’s best team in the regular season, cut their deficit in the bestof-five series to 2-1. Game 4 is Sunday.

Limited to a total of one run while losing the first two games at home, Tampa Bay broke loose in the late innings.

With the record crowd of 51,746 still buzzing from Ian Kinsler’s leadoff homer in the seventh that put the Rangers up and appeared to set the stage for a seriesclinching victory 50 seasons in the making, Dan Johnson doubled off the wall with one out in the Rays eighth. Pena followed with

an RBI single that made it 2-all.

After B.J. Upton struck out for the fifth time in the series, reliever Darren O’Day was pulled after facing only one batter. Rangers manager Ron Washington made a curious move bringing in All-Star closer Neftali Feliz. The hard-throwing righty set a major league rookie record with 40 saves in the regular season.

Feliz walked Jason Bartlett, the No. 9 hitter in Tampa Bay’s order, before Jaso’s liner to center gave the Rays their first lead in the series.

Carl Crawford led off the ninth with a homer to chase Feliz, and Pena added a two-run shot off reliever Dustin Nippert.

While Texas is still the only current major league franchise that has never won a postseason series, the Rays are trying to do what’s only been done once before.

Of the 16 teams before this year to lose the first two games of a division series at home, only the 2001 New

York Yankees have swept the next three games to advance. They did it against Oakland.

The AL West champion Rangers, in their 39th season in Texas after 11 seasons as the Washington Senators, still have never won a home playoff game (0-5). They won at Yankee Stadium in their first-ever playoff game in 1996, then lost three straight games in that series before being swept in 1998 and 1999.

Right-hander Wade Davis makes his playoff debut for Tampa Bay as the starter Sunday. The Rangers counter Tommy Hunter, who was 13-4 in the regular season, after they decided before the series even began that Cliff Lee wouldn’t pitch Game 4 on three days’ rest — something the ace lefthander has never done.

Tampa Bay hit only .247 for the season, lowest of any playoff team since the 1972 Oakland A’s. But that was stellar compared to the .125 mark for the first two games of the series, when the Rays totaled only eight hits.

NEW YORK (AP) — Come October, the New York Yankees speed past the Minnesota Twins with ease.

Phil Hughes pitched seven shutout innings, Marcus Thames and Nick Swisher homered and the Yankees beat the Twins 6-1 Saturday night to complete yet another three-game sweep of Minnesota and return to the AL championship series.

Robinson Cano tripled off Brian Duensing in the second inning and scored on Jorge Posada’s single, Mark Teixeira added an RBI single in the third and Thames

made it 4-0 in the fourth with his first career postseason homer, a two-run drive over the right-field scoreboard. Swisher added a solo homer in the seventh against Scott Baker.

The wild-card Yankees begin the ALCS on Friday at Texas or Tampa Bay. With the short first-round series, the defending World Series champions put ace CC Sabathia in position to start the opener.

The AL Central champion Twins lost their 12th straight postseason game dating to 2004, one shy of the record set by the Boston

Red Sox from 1986-95.

In addition to this year, the Yankees knocked out the Twins in the first round in 2003, 2004 and last season. New York outscored the Twins 17-7 in this series and scorched them 69-36 in the four playoff triumphs, With Minnesota badly missing Justin Morneau, sidelined since midseason because of a concussion, the heart of the Twins’ order Saturday, AL MVP Joe Mauer and Jason Kubel, combined to go 3 for 20 (.150) with no RBIs in the series.

Tampa Bay’s B.J. Upton hits an RBI double during the sixth inning of this game against the Texas Rangers, Saturday.

After leading the major leagues during the regular season with a .285 average with runners in scoring position, the Twins couldn’t get a single clutch hit in the playoffs. With runners in scoring position, they went an almost impossibly bad 0 for 14 before Denard Span’s too-little, too-late single in the eighth off Kerry Wood.

Orlando Hudson followed with an RBI single, and a Mauer walk loaded the bases. Boone Logan threw one pitch, retiring Kubel on an infield fly, and David Robertson retired Delmon Young on an inning-ending

flyout. Minnesota finished the series 2 for 18 (.222) RISP with one RBI. In the first postseason game at new Yankee Stadium following the death of George Steinbrenner in July, the late owner’s four children all looked on, hoping to see a repeat of the run that brought the pinstripes their record 27th World Series title last year, which christened the $1.5 billion ballpark.

Hughes gave up four hits, struck out six and walked one, leaving to chants of “Hughes!” from the new Yankee Stadium record

crowd of 50,840 following his first scoreless start since May 12. He was perfect his first time through the order, then allowed Span’s single to right leading off the fourth. Hughes didn’t allow a runner past second.

Four relievers followed, with Mariano Rivera closing it out 1-2-3 in a non-save situation. Posada came to the mound, and teammates trotted out for handshakes in a low-key celebration that seemed more like a regular-season victory than a postseason series clincher.

Space double: Astronaut twins to join up in orbit

U.S. astronaut Scott Kelly, a crew member of the mission to the International Space Station, accompanied by his twin brother Mark Kelly, right, walks to the rocket ahead of the launch of the Soyuz-FG rocket at the Russian-leased cosmodrome in Baikonur, Kazakhstan, Friday.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The stars may have finally aligned for the world’s only space sibling team.

Astronaut Scott Kelly is circling the planet, fresh into a 5 1/2-month space station mission. His identical twin, Mark, will join him next year, if NASA’s

shuttle schedule holds up.

Together, they will become the first blood relatives to meet up in space.

“It’s something we hoped would happen,” Mark said.

“It wasn’t done by design.

But we’re fortunate. I think it will be fun for us.”

Scott is the International Space Station’s next com-

mander. He took off aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket early Friday — texting and joking with his brother right until launch.

Mark is space shuttle Endeavour’s next commander. He’s due to take off at the end of February and knock on the space station door March 1. It’s currently slated to be NASA’s last shuttle flight.

Don’t expect any handshakes when the Kellys unite more than 200 miles up. The 46-year-old brothers — Navy captains and former fighter pilots — have never shaken each other’s hands and don’t plan to start just because the space station cameras are rolling.

Rather, count on embraces and even armwrestling when the hatches pop open between the space station and Endeavour, and the world does a double take.

For now, anyway, there’s a little difference — Scott is clean shaven and Mark has a mustache.

The Kellys promise no gags or matching outfits in space. They insist they’ve

AR TESIA — Longtime area resident Bettynelle Lanning Bolton passed away Thursday, Oct. 7, 2010, at Beehive Homes in Roswell. Mrs. Bolton, 87, was preceded in death by her husband, Curtis D. Bolton; and her parents, John and Corinne Lanning.

She is survived by a son, Vern Bolton, and wife, Lori, of Roswell; three grandchildren, Billy and Amanda Irwin, of Roswell, and Rita Weisenger, and husband, Aaron, of Conroe, Texas; one brother, John B. Lanning, and wife, Kassie, of Artesia; and brother -inlaw, Bill Bolton, and wife,

So how will they mark the historic occasion? The Associated Press posed the question in a recent interview.

“We’re going to arm wrestle,” replied Mark.

“I was going to say the same exact thing,” said Scott.

They laughed, then speculated on which twin would win, and whether it might end up a draw, with the two rotating around each other in weightlessness.

“I’ll win because I’ll have more zero-g experience,” Scott said.

“By that point, your bones will be like powder.

Your muscles will be atrophied,” Mark countered.

While there have been father-and-son astronauts and cosmonauts, decades have separated their space missions.

A husband and wife flew together in space in 1992 — Mark Lee and Jan Davis — but NASA permitted it only because they were not married at the time they were picked for the shuttle mission and had no children. They divorced several

For the Kellys, it wasn’t meant to come together like this.

Mark should have been up and back from space by now. Endeavour’s launch had been scheduled for July, but it was delayed to make improvements to the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, the primary cargo.

Between them, they have five shuttle flights. Endeavour’s trip will make six.

Even if NASA had agreed to put them on the same shuttle flight, which brother would be commander and which one co-pilot?

“We’d have to arm wrestle again,” Mark said.

Endeavour will have to hit its Feb. 27 launch date or come awfully close, if the Kellys-in-space reunion is to stay on track. Scott Kelly will return to Earth in a Soyuz in mid-March, brotherly visit or no.

They expect their parents — retired police officers — to be stressed out more than usual as Endeavour’s flight nears, not to mention their 94-year -old grandmother, who still asks if they might prefer becoming

a lawyer or dentist.

“Fortunately, my brother’s the one that’s going to have to deal with it because I’ll be in space,” Scott said.

The twins grew up in West Orange, N.J., fists constantly flying at one another. They went to different colleges, but ended up together in the Navy’s 1993 test pilot school class and, on occasion, shared jet cockpits. Unable to choose between them, NASA accepted both as astronauts in 1996.

The brothers live in Houston, and each has two daughters from previous marriages. Mark is now married to U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.

Scott is single.

Mark will be picking up his brother’s mail for the next 5 1/2 months and paying his bills.

“Flying in space is a privilege and I try not to forget that,” Scott told the AP before departing the planet.

Flying with his brother will be “icing on the cake.”

“It will be certainly unique, won’t it?” added Mark.

O’Donnell still a mystery to voters WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Senate hopeful Christine O’Donnell has a simple message in her campaign ads — “I’m you.”

With three weeks to the election, many Delaware voters have their doubts.

While O’Donnell’s quirky past has made her famous, she remains something of an enigma at home — a talented public speaker and occasional television pundit with a thin resume and a long list of unanswered questions.

WASHINGTON

National security shuffle: Jones out, Donilon in

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen. James Jones, the gruff-talking military man President Barack Obama drafted as his national security adviser, announced Friday he was quitting after a tenure marked by ambitious foreign policy changes and undercurrents of corrosive turf battles.

Jones will be replaced by his chief deputy, Tom Donilon, a former Democratic political operative and lobbyist who in many ways is already the day-to-day leader of the White House national security operation. The move deepens a season of White House turnover near the midpoint of Obama’s term, with White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel departing last week, chief economic adviser Lawrence Summers leaving by year’s end and other changes expected before long.

Obama described the transition from Jones to Donilon as expected and seamless, thanking both men in a sunny Rose Garden ceremony. The president put an emphasis on the patriotism of Jones, a Marine who served in Vietnam and retired as a four -star general after a career of more than 40 years. The two barely knew each other when Jones took the post.

As Obama’s chief national security aide, Jones served during a time when Obama has sought to reshape American foreign policy on many fronts, from ending the combat mission in Iraq to expanding the war in Afghanistan to attempting to improve relations across Europe and Asia.

Jones had quiet clout but found himself in a world of squabbles given the competing demands, ideas and personalities in the government and the challenge of trying to coordinate them through the National Security Council. Questions always seemed to loom over whether Jones’ vast military experience translated as Obama had hoped into the job of national security adviser, which requires informing and

counseling the president and coordinating views from agencies.

“Jim has always been a steady voice in Situation Room sessions, daily briefings and with meetings with foreign leaders,” Obama said. He added that Jones had represented the U.S. before its allies in every region of the world, and he said the American people owe the general a debt for making the nation “safer and stronger.”

Jones, 66, is expected to serve in the job for about two more weeks. He recalled that he met Obama just over two years ago and that he was persuaded to join him because of Obama’s desire to take on the hardest

AP interview: Breyer unsure about cameras in the courtroom

WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Stephen Breyer says it’s important for television viewers to see Supreme Court justices in their black robes when the pr esident delivers the State of the Union speech each year. He’s less certain that TV cameras have a place at the court.

When the justices take their seats among lawmakers, military brass and Cabinet members for the pr esident’s annual address to Congress, the public can see the whole government in one place, he said.

“Maybe some will wonder, ‘Who are those people in black r obes?’ If they wonder, they might read about it and if they do they’ll learn more about the government,” Breyer said in an interview with The Associated Press to talk about another way to educate the public, his new book “Making Our Democracy Work.”

Breyer, 72, joined the court 16 years ago, a nominee of President Bill Clinton. He has attended almost every State of the Union since, including the address in January when President Barack Obama criticized the court’s decision a few days earlier that struck down campaign finance laws. A dissenter in that case, he said he wasn’t bothered by Obama’s criticism.

Br eyer acknowledged that allowing TV viewers to see the court in action, at the 80 or so arguments it hears each year, would convey “that the court is very serious about dealing with very difficult problems.”

But he said he remains concerned that coverage of the court would turn into a succession of “sound bites” that might be ultimately misleading. Worse, he said, would be if televising high court arguments wer e to lead to “television in every criminal trial in the United States and witnesses began to become afraid to appear.”

“So I’m taking a hesitant attitude,” Br eyer said, while calling for independent research to assess television coverage in state courts around the nation.

Showing people how the

Roswell Daily Record

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer court works is the aim of Breyer’s book tracing the country’s acceptance of the court as the final word in legal disputes, he said over tea in his Supreme Court office.

He said the court has struggled in some of its most important decisions with finding a balance between national security and civil liberties. The decision that ratified the internment of JapaneseAmericans during World War II was a stain on the court, he said. But he believes that history helped lead to dif ferent outcomes in recent rulings that extended some constitutional protections to detainees at the Guantanamo Bay naval prison.

“The public has to generally accept the existence of an institution that to do its job must sometimes make decisions that are very unpopular,” Breyer said.

“In addition, since we are dealing with fallible human beings and not angels, sometimes those decisions will be wrong.”

His second book in five years also sets out Breyer’s judicial philosophy of “prudence and pragmatism,” in contrast to the originalist views of Justice Antonin Scalia. Breyer believes

AP Photo

judges sometimes must be guided by more than the language of laws, if the words are ambiguous or embody a value that must be applied to specific circumstances.

Scalia’s text-based approach focuses on giving a fair reading to the words of the Constitution as they were meant when they were written.

Scalia and the other conservative justices have had the upper hand on the court over Breyer and the other liberals since Justice Sandra Day O’Connor retired in 2006 and was r eplaced by Justice Samuel Alito.

“Five years ago, I think I was in the majority more than anybody. Now I’m probably more in dissent,” he said.

Br eyer both concedes that the court has changed and rejects the ideological labels as simplistic.

“My object here is not to say that political kinds of influence ar e zer o,” he said. “I just want to say that’s not the right word.

It doesn’t describe things accurately. I’d say it’s not a single set of words.”

issues of the day in a difficult time for the nation.

The general said, “I believe that where we are today in the global playing field and how the United States is held in the esteem of the rest of the world is an accomplishment that I frankly find astonishing in such a short period of time.” To Obama, he said: “Thank you for letting me be a part of it.”

Donilon’s promotion has a significant spillover effect on the rest of the White House. He had emerged as a top candidate to replace Emanuel as the permanent chief of staff. Now that job appears even more

likely to go to Pete Rouse, the newly installed interim chief and a longtime adviser to Obama.

Donilon has played a leading role in the policymaking process that tees up the national security decisions for the president. He has overseen the coordination among deputy chiefs from across the security field and is known for bringing an understanding of domestic policy and politics to the job.

At age 55, Donilon’s route to the national security adviser post has been an unusual one.

He worked as a political aide for Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale, helped manage Democratic National Conventions, and served in the State Department during Bill Clinton’s presidency. A lawyer, Donilon served for years as executive vice president at Fannie Mae, the mortgage finance company taken over by the government during the economic crisis. He has long been close to Vice President Joe Biden; Donilon’s wife, Cathy, is chief of staff to the vice president’s wife, Jill.

“Over the last two years, there’s not a single critical national security issue that has not crossed Tom’s desk,” Obama said.

Expressing a clear comfort level with Donilon, Obama also noted his day-andnight work ethic, drawing laughs when he said it seemed to be fueled by Donilon’s penchant for Diet Coke.

Donilon disclosed last year that he had made at least $3.9 million from his partnership in the O’Melveny & Myers law firm. Donilon’s clients at the firm included Citigroup, Goldman Sachs & Co., Verizon Communications, Obama fundraiser and hotel heiress Penny Pritzker and former EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman. Donilon said in his 2009 financial disclosure report that he had sold his individual company stocks.

Analysis: US-China ties strained by dissident WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s push for China to release an imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate and rising economic and trade friction could aggravate U.S. efforts to win crucial Chinese cooperation on global hot spots.

Ever-delicate U.S.-China relations had seemed to be warming, with the countries agreeing recently to end an eight-month freeze on military exchanges. But Obama’s praise Friday for Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo’s Nobel award will likely further rattle China at a time when the United States is stepping up pressure on Beijing over a currency policy Washington blames for job losses in the United States.

This recent swing from calls for cooperation to criticism is typical of a complicated relationship that both countries call important for world stability. U.S. officials are trying, with varying success, to press China on economic and human rights matters without jeopardizing Chinese support on Iranian and North Korean nuclear standoffs, climate change and other difficult issues.

The Obama administration says the relationship is mature enough to weather disagreements and to engage in blunt discussions. But Beijing, wary of appearing weak at a time of rising nationalism and deep social tur-

moil, often bristles at what it views as U.S. interference.

In a statement released hours after Liu was awarded the Nobel, Obama praised the dissident as an “eloquent and courageous” supporter of human rights and democracy “who has sacrificed his freedom for his beliefs.”

He praised China for “lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty.” But, he added: “This award reminds us that political reform has not kept pace, and that the basic human rights of every man, woman and child must be respected.”

Obama called “on the Chinese government to release Mr. Liu as soon as possible.” Liu was sentenced last year to 11 years in prison on subversion charges after he coauthored a document calling for greater freedom, among other activism.

Asked about Obama’s comments, Wang Baodong, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, said Chinese officials “oppose any other countries’ meddling in China’s internal affairs with any excuses.” He said Chinese people “fully enjoy basic human rights.”

Beijing earlier warned that the decision to award Liu the Nobel prize would harm relations with Norway, which is the home of the independent Norwegian Nobel Committee,

which awards the peace prize.

The United States and China, which have the world’s No. 1 and 2 economies, clash on a host of issues. Beijing has reacted with anger and unease to recent U.S. willingness to stick up for friends and allies in territorial disputes with China in the South and East China seas; and to joint U.S.-South Korean military drills in the Yellow Sea, part of which lies within Chinese sovereign waters.

Taiwan and Tibet also are regular sources of tension. China suspended military contact with the United States in January to protest a $6.4 billion U.S. arms package for Taiwan, the self-governing island that China claims as its own territory.

Obama also angered Beijing by meeting this year with the Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader whom China calls a separatist.

Obama’s praise for Liu comes amid harsh criticism of China’s currency policies by U.S. lawmakers faced with make-or-break congressional elections next month. Many lawmakers contend that the Chinese yuan is undervalued by as much as 40 percent, which they say gives Chinese companies a significant competitive advantage over American businesses.

Abbas seeking alternatives should Mideast talks fail

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, center, pictured with Arab leader in Sirte, Libya, Saturday. Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, left, Tunisian President Zine Elabdine Bin Ali, second left,Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, second right, Bahrain’s Deputy Premier Sheikh Mohammed bin Mubarak, right.

SIRTE, Libya (AP) — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday sought Arab backing for possible fallback options in case troubled peace talks with Israel collapse, including urging the United States to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state.

For now, the Obama administration is still trying to salvage the negotiations that began in Washington five weeks ago.

The Arab League, meeting in Libya over the weekend, gave the Americans another month — just past midterm elections in the U.S. — to try to break the deadlock over Israeli settlement expansion.

Abbas has said he would not resume negotiations unless Israel extends a 10-month-old slowdown on settlement construction that ended in late September. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected an extension, but is considering compromises.

The Palestinian leader’s options in the event that talks break down appear limited. Discussions about alternatives, including at the Arab League summit, appear to be largely aimed at pressuring Israel and spurring the U.S.

into action.

On Saturday, Abbas told Arab leaders that he does not expect Israel to budge on the settlement issue and that in the meantime, opposition to continuing the talks is building among the Palestinians.

“We have exhausted all our alternatives,” two Arab diplomats quoted Abbas as saying. They spoke on condition of anonymity in order to disclose information discussed in the closed session.

Abbas aide Nabil Shaath said the Palestinian leaders have withdrawn their support for a proposed U.S. compromise to extend the settlement curb for 60 more days. Earlier this week, Shaath had said the Palestinians are willing to consider the idea, provided the final borders between Israel and a future Palestinian state were negotiated within that period.

“We are not willing anymore to consider 60 days,” Shaath told The Associated Press in an interview in the West Bank town of Ramallah. “When you see nothing but hardened positions, you really have to meet it with the same tactic,” he said, referring to Israel’s negotiating stance.

SAN JOSE MINE, Chile (AP) — Jeff Hart was drilling water wells for the U.S. Army’s forward operating bases in Afghanistan when he got the call to fly to Chile.

He spent the next 33 days on his feet, operating the drill that finally provided a way out Saturday for 33 trapped miners.

“You have to feel through your feet what the drill is doing; it’s a vibration you get so that you know what’s happening,” explained Hart, a contractor from Denver, Colorado.

A muscular, taciturn man with calloused hands and a sunburned face, Hart normally pounds rock for oil or water.

He’s used to extreme conditions while he works the hydraulic levers that guide the drills’ hammers.

But this was something different — 33 lives were depending on him.

“I was nervous today,” said Hart, 40.

He joked that he thought it was his heart stopping when he felt an unexplained “pop” just before the drill broke through into a chamber far underground. “I didn’t want anything to go wrong.”

Within hours after the gold and copper mine collapsed Aug. 5, Chile’s government realized the mine’s owners were ill-equipped to handle the rescue and asked the stateowned Codelco mining company to take the lead.

Codelco turned to Geotec Boyles Bros., a U.S.-Chilean company, to handle the “Plan B” escape shaft, one of three simultaneous drilling efforts that raced to reach the miners.

Geotec operations manager James Stefanic said he quickly assembled “a top of the line team” of drillers who are intimately familiar with the key equipment, including engineers from two Pennsylvania companies — Schramm Inc., which makes the T130 drill, and Center Rock Inc., which makes the drill bits.

Hart was called in from Afghanistan, “simply because he’s the best” at drilling larger holes with the T130’s widediameter drill bits, Stefanic said.

Standing before the levers, pressure meters and gauges on the T130’s control panel, Hart and the rest of the team faced many challenges in drilling the shaft. At one point, the drill struck a metal support beam in the poorly mapped mine, shattering its hammers. Fresh equipment had to be flown in from the United States and progress was delayed for days as powerful magnets were lowered to pull out the pieces.

Germans protest railway project

BERLIN (AP) — More than 60,000 people took to the streets of Stuttgart on Saturday to protest a disputed railway project in southwestern Germany that has become a headache for Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Protest organizer Christoph Wertz said more than 100,000 people turned out to oppose plans to move the city’s station underground. Police said in a statement that over 63,000 people joined the protest rally.

Critics view the 4.1 billion ($5.7 billion) Stuttgart 21 project as a waste of money. Supporters say it will free up the city’s packed center and help shorten journeys across Europe.

Merkel strongly backs the plan but it risks undermining her center -right coalition in state elections in Baden-Wuerttemberg next March. Latest polls indicated Merkel’s party could loose its majority in the state for the first time in decades.

Stuttgart, a conservative and wealthy city of 600,000 inhabitants that mostly used to be known for the Porsches and Mercedes cars produced on its outskirts, has been rocked by a growing protest movement against the railway project in recent months.

Last week some 1,000 police officers used water cannons and pepper spray to break up a rally against Stuttgart 21 there, leaving 130 people injured.

Reward in case of missing children

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s attorney general is offering $1.2 million for information on 14 children who disappeared from orphanages in 2009, the presumed victims of a child-trafficking ring.

The office also is promising a $400,000 reward for information on three people wanted in the “Casitas del Sur” case. The case, which drew wide publicity in Mexico, is named for the Mexico City orphanage where seven of the children disappeared.

Seven other children disappeared from group homes in Nuevo Leon and Quintana Roo states.

Rousseff leads in Brazil president race

SAO PAULO (AP) — The first poll published since the first-round of voting in Brazil's presidential race has governing party candidate Dilma Rousseff in the lead for the Oct. 31 runoff ballot.

The Datafolha polling institute says 48 percent of those surveyed back Rousseff. Forty-one percent support the centrist opposition candidate, Jose Serra. The rest are undecided or plan to annul their ballots.

The results were published Saturday by the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo. The poll interviewed in person 3,265 people in 201 counties across Brazil. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Rousseff led the Oct. 3 first-round, getting 46.9 percent of the votes — falling short of the majority needed to avoid a runoff. Serra got 32.6 percent.

Thousands protest gay pride march

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Several thousand supporters of the far-right protested Saturday in downtown Belgrade against a planned gay pride march, as fears mounted about possible violence during the event Sunday.

The protest was organized by a conservative group advocating traditional Serb family values and religion.

Some of the protesters shouted “death to homosexuals” and gave fascist salutes.

“Cancel the gay pride march,” said Vladan Glisic, the leader of the Dveri group. “The authorities should protect Serbian family values, and not the gays.”

The march Sunday is viewed as a major test for Serbia’s government, which has launched pro-Western reforms and pledged to protect human rights as it seeks European Union membership.

Right-wing groups broke up a pride march in 2001 and forced the cancellation of last year’s event.

ROME (AP) — Thousands of people bid farewell at an open-air funeral Saturday to a 15-year -old schoolgirl whose killing — announced to her mother on live TV — has shocked this nation.

Sarah Scazzi disappeared Aug. 26 as she walked a short distance in the town of Avetrana, in southern Italy.

She remained missing for weeks, while police combed the area for clues.

This week police pulled the body of a girl resembling Scazzi out of a cistern in the countryside just outside the town.

The girl’s mother was a guest on a live TV show Wednesday night when she was told that her missing daughter was probably dead — and that her brother-inlaw was the alleged killer.

“I can’t believe it,” the mother, Concetta Serrano, said. She sat, apparently in shock, for several minutes as the TV show host read news reports that were coming in about the her daughter’s fate.

Serrano was appearing on the show from the house of her brother -in-law, the alleged killer.

The brother -in-law, Michele Misseri, was not at home. He was at that moment being questioned by police. Investigators said later that he confessed to killing Sarah.

Some 3.5 million people watched the broadcast on state TV RAI, according to Italian news reports. Many later criticized the host for not cutting the broadcast short.

The host, Federica Sciarelli, told the mother she could choose to interrupt the live broadcast at any time. At one point, Sciarelli asked the mother if she understood what was happening.

“I am trying to understand,” Serrano replied.

The prosecutor leading the investigation, Franco Sebastiao, said Thursday that Misseri had confessed that he had killed Sarah shortly after she disappeared. News reports said Misseri confessed to strangling the girl after she refused his sexual advances.

Misseri remains in jail, and news reports have said he is being kept in isolation because other inmates have threatened his life.

A banner in Avetrana called for the death sentence. Italy does not have capital punishment; the most severe penalty is life imprisonment.

The funeral Saturday was held in the Avetrana football (soccer) stadium. Thousands

of people came from nearby towns to file past Sarah’s coffin. Many applauded as it was being carried inside the stadium. Some threw flowers. Others cried.

The case has led to discussions of the role of TV, and some commentators have denounced what they said was lack of ethics on public television. One lawmaker called it a “horrible reality show.”

“Shameless, outrageous, damned TV!” said La Repubblica, a national newspaper.

Sciarelli, the host, insisted

she had given the mother the opportunity to leave, and pointed out the woman was also receiving calls from other reporters during the broadcast.

Giovanni Orsina, a professor of contemporary history, said ratings should not be the only goal.

“It is a matter of self control, it is a matter of setting standards of ethics,” the professor at LUISS university in Rome told APTN. Those, Orsina said, seem to be things Italian media are not exhibiting anymore.

Several students from Roswell High School play their parts in a mock alcohol-related car accident in front of the school at Chaves County Youth Awareness and the Chaves County DWI program’s presentation of the Every 15 Minutes program in April. Students are asked to play the parts of accident victims while others play the part of the “Grim Reaper,” pulling students chosen to play the “living dead” — representing the one person said to be killed every 15 minutes in the U.S. in an alcohol-related car accident.

Making a difference ... one student at a time ERIN GREEN RECORD VISTAS EDITOR

Scott Klein had everything going for him.

In May 2001, the 22-year-old junior agricultural economics major at Texas Tech University had a full-time class schedule and a job at Sam’s Club.

Klein enjoyed spending time with his dog, a weimaraner, Ringo, named after a character in one of his favorite movies, “Tombstone,” spending time with friends, playing pool, listening to country and rock ‘n roll music and following his favorite sports teams — the St. Louis Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys and the Charlotte Hornets.

And on May 14 — the day after Mother’s Day — Klein, whose mother, Cindy Blake, described as “a great kid” with “gorgeous brown eyes,” was ready to celebrate the end of final exams and another busy semester.

Klein and his roommate went out to play pool and have a few beers.

They never made it back home.

Klein, who was driving, never saw the driver of the other car, a woman who had her car’s caution lights blinking.

“They never saw each other,” Blake said. “My son was killed instantly. His roommate was in a coma for a month at the hospital. The woman was killed instantly.”

Describing the circumstances surrounding her son’s death, Blake was composed, but the emotion wasn’t far from the surface.

“It was a bad choice (he made) that we’ve probably all done or seen done,” she said.

For a few years, Blake said she prayed that she could find a way to give her son’s death meaning.

And then she found out about Every 15 Minutes, an intense two-day program sponsored by Chaves County Youth Awareness and the Chaves County DWI program.

Every 15 Minutes is designed to educate high school students on the reality surrounding alcohol-impaired driving by staging a mock accident scene, in which emergency personnel respond as they would in similar real-life situations. The scene includes police and fire personnel, ambulances — even a medevac helicopter.

The program’s name came from the statistic that every day in the U.S., someone is killed in a drunk driving accident every 15 minutes.

Students are also taken out of class by the “Grim Reaper,” and are considered “the living dead.” for the duration of the program. They are not allowed to speak and are sequestered away from their families overnight.

The students also go through a mock trial at the Chaves County Courthouse,

tour a funeral home and the jail and attend a mock funeral.

Blake now speaks at the program, presented yearly at Roswell and Goddard high schools, as well as at other Valley schools. She doesn’t consider herself a public speaker, however.

“I don’t have to be a speaker,” Blake said. “I just have to share my experiences and hopefully help kids make good choices.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 32 people in the U.S. are killed each day in motor vehicle crashes involving an alcoholimpaired driver — that equals one death every 45 minutes. The CDC also reports that in 2008, 11,773 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, or nearly one-third of all traf-

fic-related deaths in the U.S. The purpose, according to Justin Powell, a first responder and chair for Every 15 Minutes and first cousin of Klein’s, is to make a difference — even if it’s in just one person’s life.

“We’re all in it for the same reason,” Powell said of himself and the program’s volunteers. “They’re faced with (alcohol use) regardless. (We) have them face the consequences. That’s why we go to the funeral home, to the courthouse, to the jail.”

The consequences of mixing alcohol and motor vehicles is severe. According to a pamphlet by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “Start Talking Before They Start Drinking: A Family Guide,” approximately 5,000 people under the age of 21 die as a

result of underage drinking each year, including death from car crashes, homicides, suicide and injuries from falls, burns and drownings.

Statistics such as those are why it’s so important to get the message out that drinking and driving is deadly and can happen to anyone, said Diane Taylor, with prevention and awareness with Chaves County Youth Awareness.

“We reach every single kid in a school,” Taylor said. “We reach 1,500 kids, every single teacher, every one. ...

The hours of work, the volunteer hours we put into this. It’s a passion we have.

We’re on a mission. We go to the Nth degree.”

Battling the problem of underage drinking and the consequences it can bring is a serious one, Taylor said.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the prevalence of alcohol dependence is highest among those 18-20; the next highest is among those 21-24. Approximately 22 percent of 12- to 14-year-olds say they have used alcohol at least once.

There have been reports of children as young as 6 trying alcohol, Taylor said.

It’s important to get kids to see the consequences can be serious and deadly — and that even those who do not die may have lasting injuries they may never recover from.

“No family ever wakes up thinking they’re going to have a loved one die,” she said. “Nobody ever wakes up thinking they’re going to be killed by a drunk driver — or be killed by someone else.

Dreams and families are forever changed.”

Charlotte Andrade, director of the Chaves County DWI program, which provides part of the funding for Every 15 Minutes.

“Because of what I’ve seen, the stories I’ve heard, I just don’t take chances,” she said, adding if she is at a restaurant and has a glass of wine with dinner, she will call and have one of her three daughters come pick her up.

“What drives me is listening to the stories and just learning what these families have been through.”

Man’s Internet flings could destroy marriage

Q: My husband of 20 years has reconnected with two ex-girlfriends on the Internet. He started chatting with one of them about three years ago. When I found out I confronted him, he quickly closed it all down, admitted his mistakes, and begged me to forgive him. But now he’s done it again with a second girlfriend. I don’t think I can trust him anymore. I don’t want a divorce — we have three teenagers and I’d rather try to work things out. But I don’t see any changes in his behavior.

JIM: It’s time to exercise some “tough love” in your relationship. Let your husband know that you love him and that you want the marriage to work, but that his continued dalliances are unacceptable. He’s being selfish and juvenile, and setting a horrible example for your children.

You may need to consider a legal separation until he gets his act together.

As a first step, though, find a licensed marriage and family counselor who can help you and your husband navigate the rocky terrain in front of you. Counseling is a critical avenue for honest, open communication and can help facilitate the healing process.

Your husband also needs to set personal boundaries and get some accountability in his life. Many churches have men's groups in which the participants can share their struggles and ask tough questions of one another about how they spend their time on the computer, etc.

This is an essential step for your husband if he hopes to earn back your trust.

The couple have 11 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

The lovely couple will be renewing their vows at St. John Catholic Church, with a reception and dance to follow.

Happy anniversary Mom and Dad. We love you!

JIM DALY

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

** ** ** Q: My husband had a one-time affair with a co-worker and struggles with pornography. We’re currently separated, though he is working very hard toward recovery. He wants to reconcile and so do I. What is the best way to work toward that?

JULI: I’m so glad that you're both motivated to work toward healing and restoration. Unfortunately, many couples are not willing to invest the effort to put their marriages back together after such a breach of trust. Your marriage can be restored and even strengthened, but it will take time and a lot of work on both of your parts.

As Jim said in the previous answer, working with a qualified marriage counselor will go a long way in your efforts toward healing. I recommend that you and your husband meet regularly with a counselor who can help you map out and walk through a plan of what restoration looks like.

Given your husband’s struggles with sexual temptation, I’d also recommend that he meet individually with a counselor who specializes in such issues to help him with personal healing and accountability. Even with the best intentions, he may continue to battle those temptations and will need people around him to help him honor his commitment to you. In addition to the counseling, this may mean installing Internet accountability software, asking your husband to resolve to never to have a meal alone with another woman — even in a professional setting — and establishing other parameters.

Finally, don’t rush the process. The desire to renew their relationship sometimes causes couples to skip steps.

The trauma that your marriage has experienced can only heal over time. You need the freedom to ask questions like, “How do I know this won’t happen again?” or “What led to the infidelity in the first place?” Skipping steps or reconciling too quickly will lead to unresolved issues and hard feelings emerging later on. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

Fall planting of trees and shrubs might go against your grain.

Fall is when you probably feel like closing down the garden, gathering the final harvests and snuggling plants in for the cold months ahead. Spring is when the urge to plant becomes irresistible, when most of us want to contribute to the symphony of colors and scents of the season.

In fact, though, fall is in many ways a better time for planting from the point of view of a tree or shrub.

Many nurseries dig bare root plants in the fall, then sell some and store the remainder through winter.

Such plants are, obviously, fresher in the fall.

Perhaps most important, fall planting allows trees and shrubs time to establish themselves before winter cold settles into the soil.

Roots begin growing as soon as they touch moist earth, and continue to do so as long as the soil temperature stays above about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Not so for stems. Short days and nippy temperatures at the end of the growing season bring stem growth to a halt, and growth can’t begin again until lengthening days or a sufficient duration of cold signals to dormant buds that winter is truly over.

Growth is then ready to begin as soon as temperatures warm.

Any fall-planted tree or shrub is already in place, its roots growing in the soil, when the first war m breaths of spring coax stems to begin growing. If you plant in spring, though, root growth is only just beginning when stems begin growing. Or worse.

Stems sometimes begin growing before the plant is even in the ground — a real problem with bare root

A plum tree is seen about to be planted in this October 2010 photo in New Paltz, N.Y. Fall is when you probably feel like closing down the garden, gathering the final harvests and snuggling plants in for the cold months ahead. In fact, though, fall is in many ways a better time for planting from the point of view of a tree or shrub.

nursery stock.

Even the ground is usually in better condition for digging in fall than in spring. Summer’s warmth still lingers in the soil, long enough to keep it moist — not sodden — and crumbly for much of the time, just right for digging planting holes.

Contrast this with the slurpy, cold condition of the soil in spring. Digging a soil that is sodden ruins its structure, driving out the air, so one frustration of spring planting is waiting for the soil to dry out somewhat, all the while watching plant buds beginning to expand and grow.

Frustration doubles when, after waiting for the soil to dry enough to plant, you have to immediately begin a regimen of weekly watering. One thorough soaking is usually all that fall-planted trees and

shrubs need; winter rain and snow take care of the rest until later in spring.

A few precautions are needed with fall planting.

Roots begin growth in fall, but not enough to anchor a plant against shifting, even being lifted, where the soil will be alternately freezing and thawing in the months to come. Prevent plant heaving by insulating the soil with a thick blanket of some organic mulch, such as leaves or straw, which will stop those wide swings in temperature. Avoid rot by piling the material up to but not right against the stems.

That mulch does make a cozy winter home for barkfeeding rodents. So protect the trunks with a cylinder of quarter-inch mesh hardware cloth, or wrap them with paper or plastic wraps sold for this purpose.

Trunk wraps make great

homes for insects in summer — homes where bugs can hide from hungry birds — so remove the wraps in spring.

Despite the benefits of fall planting, it is not for every kind of bare root tree or shrub. Among the few plants that do not take kindly to fall planting are red maple, birch, hawthorn, tuliptree, poplar, oak, willow, plum and cherry. However, potted plants of any of these species will benefit from fall planting just as other species do.

With these cautions and constraints, plan for fall planting. In contrast to planting in spring, when stem growth threatens and you’re distracted by colorful flowers after winter’s browns and grays, fall planting can proceed with a leisurely pace and a rational mind.

Moved by a recent spate of suicides by teens who were believed to be victims of anti-gay bullying, syndicated relationship and sex advice columnist Dan Savage began the YouTube project Sept. 21, hoping it would turn into exactly what it is: A destination for gay young people to receive comfort from a variety of perspec-

tives on their Internet home turf.

There’s a gay cop and an ex-Mormon, a young Muslim from a conservative Pakistani home, gay parents showing off photos of their kids and an openly gay Baptist minister.

Mixed in with somber stories of suicide attempts are a sassy lesbian cartoon, a video with gay men surrounded by shirtless male hotties, and a sprinkling of celebrities: Ellen DeGeneres, Tim Gunn from “Project Runway,” Chris Colfer from “Glee” and blogger Perez Hilton, who went to a Jesuit high school in Miami and said in his contribution, “I would have loved to have had me around when I was a teenager.”

There are gay people who confess THEY were the bullies and people with guitars singing. Cities and campuses (San Francisco, Smith College) are represented. There’s also a lot of anger and frustration that the middle and high school years for so many gay youth haven’t changed all that much since Greenwood was a kid.

“I really, really believed that kids killing themselves over being gay was a relic of another time,” Greenwood, a writer and English instructor at Tufts University near Boston, said in an interview. “I mean, it was nearly 30 years ago when I climbed my bridge. I thought that even kids who were bullied now had online communities or other ways of feeling hope about their identities.”

Savage, a gay rights activist who also writes books, travels the country speaking, but he knows many towns and schools will never invite him. That’s one reason he set up the “It Gets Better” channel on YouTube and asked for video stories, starting with himself and his partner, Terry.

In two weeks, the channel has racked up more than a million views, the number of videos has exploded from a handful to 1,000 submitted, comment threads are growing and e-mails are pouring in from bullied and closeted teens.

“We’re totally overwhelmed by the response,” Savage said. “The most gratifying are parents sitting down at the computer and watching with their kids.

So many kids, they’re bullied at school by their peers, they go home to homophobic parents who bully them, and then they’re dragged to church on Sunday for more bullying from the pulpit.”

Sitting in an airport reading about the deaths of Minnesota 15-year-old Justin Aaberg and 15-year-old Billy Lucas, who killed himself in his family’s bar n in Greenburg, Ind., Savage knew the power of his own story, his years in Catholic boys schools as the son of a church deacon and a lay minister.

“High school was bad,” Savage said. “I was picked on because I liked musicals. I was obviously gay.”

But his parents came around. So did his partner’s family in Spokane, Wash., where Terry was stuffed into bathroom

NEW YORK (AP) — A crush of fans circled a flower -graced mosaic in Central Park’s Strawberry Fields and sang lyrics from “Imagine” on Saturday to honor Beatles legend John Lennon on his 70th birthday.

On the day when the Liverpool Lad would have become a septuagenarian, thousands of fans from around the world gathered to remember the floppy-haired British superstar who just wanted to give peace a chance.

“His music speaks to people of any nation, any age, and that’s why I think so many young people now who never would have known him still find him so appealing,” said Karen Kriendler Nelson, 69, who lives nearby and often visits the mosaic that spells out Lennon’s song “Imagine.”

She and her Maltese dog, Pino, joined a group of fans who sang the lines, “Imagine there’s no countries/ It isn’t hard to do/ Nothing to kill or die for/ And no religion too/ Imagine all the people/ Living life in peace ...”

Joan Acarin and his wife, Laia, visited the memorial from Spain.

“The values Lennon defended are still

alive,” said Joan Acarin, a 41-year -old attorney from Barcelona. “It’s the idea that we do not have to fight wars.”

Fans began arriving on Friday, spilling onto the sidewalk of Central Park West, where Lennon and wife Yoko Ono lived in the famed Dakota building for nine years.

He was shot to death by a deranged gunman as he came home on the evening of Dec. 8, 1980.

Police erected barricades to contain the crowd alongside passing traffic.

This year, the memorial to the slain exBeatle and peace activist includes a mosaic donated by the city of Naples, Italy. A plaque lists 121 countries that endorse Strawberry Fields as a Garden of Peace.

The 2.5-acre site was created by Ono and named after the Lennon song, which also observes that “living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.”

The birthday celebration got started early Friday in his native England, where Google UK released a 32-second video “doodle” with an “Imagine” soundtrack.

The interactive electronic art generates a butter fly and a flower — reflecting Lennon’s devotion to world peace.

NEW YORK (AP) — David Valdes Greenwood was 15 when he climbed to the highest arch of a bridge in his small Maine town and got ready to jump.

It was 1982. He was distraught over a pastor’s Sodom and Gomorrah sermon that his homosexuality would bring God’s wrath down on everyone around him. He didn’t think his friends, family and fellow churchgoers deserved to suffer because he was gay.

“It had never occurred to me that I would wound people by my simply existing,” Greenwood said. “And it seemed kind of true.”

So he became that boy on the Sophie May Lane Bridge in Norridgewock. Thankfully, a neighbor walked by and shouted for him to stop fooling around up there — and he listened, then he fled town the first chance he got.

All grown up, married to a man he loves with a 5-year-old daughter they adore, the 43-year-old Greenwood hopes gay young people in pain will now listen to him. So do hundreds of others who, like Greenwood, have taken to YouTube to make a promise: If you hang on through the self-doubt, the coming out years, through the slurs, the isolation at school and being slammed up against the lockers, through the rejection and anger of parents and grandparents, it gets better. A whole lot better.

This image made Thursday, shows a YouTube video made by David Valdes Greenwood for the “It Gets Better” project. Hundreds of people in the gay community, including Greenwood, have posted “It Gets Better” videos after a recent spate of suicides by teens who were believed to be victims of anti-gay bullying.

stalls and school officials dismissed his parents’ complaints about bullying as a natural consequence of being gay. They’ve been together 16 years and adopted their 12-year-old son, D.J., at birth.

“I didn’t think when I came out to my parents in the very early 1980s when AIDS was slamming into the gay community that I would ever be a dad,” Savage said in their video.

He describes his Christian upbringing in rural North Carolina and his decision to deny himself an “affectional life” as a gay man when he received his call to the ministry in his 20s.

“It made me lonely for a lot of years,” he tells his viewers. It wasn’t until he was hired as an assistant professor at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas, that he decided to come out “utterly, fully and completely,” surviving attempts to have him fired and earning tenure, Sprinkle said in an interview.

Since posting the video, he’s heard from several young people, including one so upset that Sprinkle tracked down professional help.

“He’s 18. He’s a closeted religious person and he told me he was afraid he was going to explode,” Sprinkle said. “He kept asking over and over, ‘Does God hate me?’ I said, ‘Heavens, no. God created you beautiful and complete. God makes no mistakes like that.”’

Nicholas Wheeler, a graphic designer who grew up Mormon in Idaho, said he no longer thinks much about God. He made his video because he knows that other kids from conservative, religious backgrounds “don’t make it out alive. It breaks my heart.”

Wheeler, 26, said being gay didn’t fit into the picture in his head of how his life would turn out. In deep denial for years, he didn’t come out until 2008, after going on a two-year church mission trip at 20.

He had to dismiss his thoughts “of gay people as evil and unhappy.”

His turning point came after he moved to Salt Lake City, where he met lots of gay ex-Mormons, and stopped thinking of himself as a sinner. Things aren’t perfect, but “I’m leaps and bounds happier than I was,” he said in an interview.

So is 28-year -old Bruce Ortiz, who works in marketing in Chicago. He tried to kill himself with a bottle of pills as a freshman in college. Healing was slow but steady after he opened up to his parents about being gay. He and his partner just bought a house together and are thinking about starting a family.

Ortiz’s video message to young people: “It’s not worth the attempt. Just go out there, find your support system, find that support system within yourself, because life does get better.”

Tammy Wynette appears with duet partner and former husband George Jones in Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Faith Hill grew up with Tammy Wynette’s music, belting out classics such as “Stand by Your Man” when she was 12 years old — even though Hill probably didn’t quite understand what it truly meant.

Now the country superstar wants to make sure other young girls, and music fans in general, are as acquainted with the “First Lady of Country Music” as she was.

Hill has lent her voice to a new exhibit on Wynette at the Country Music Hall of Fame.

“I’m sure there are a few that are aware of Tammy and listen to her music, but you can’t have too many,” said Hill, who narrates a film on Wynette. “Especially with the next generation developing and creating their music, I think it’s important they hear Tammy Wynette.”

Wynette, who died in 1998 at age 55, was the prototype for today’s female country music star. Wynette was one of the first artists to put on a contemporary live show with costume changes and colorful outfits, some of which are on display at the museum.

The exhibit runs through June 12, 2011, along with hundreds of other items from Wynette’s voluminous collection of personal memorabilia. She lived a tumultuous life that brought tabloid attention along with the adulation of her fans. And

her humble beginnings belied a big personality who could take command of any room.

“She was always so down to earth and so friendly, always there to talk and visit with you,” Reba McEntire said. “And great songs. My gosh, the songs that she sang would touch your heart in a heartbeat, and she was always so identifiable.

When she started singing most times when the song started you knew that was a Tammy Wynette song.”

It was “Apartment No. 9” that hooked author and professed “record hound” Jimmy McDonough on Wynette. He’d never heard anything like the singer’s voice and his curiosity about Wynette eventually led him to write a biography, “Tammy Wynette: T ragic Country Queen,” released last March. “There’s just something compelling about her voice,” McDonough said. “And I felt in the pantheon of country singers — it’s great the Country Music Hall of Fame is doing this thing — but in recent years you hadn’t heard a lot of Tammy. She sort of faded in the background and I think largely that’s because certain associations people make, especially with her main song, ’Stand by Your Man,’ which is a much more complex record once you really look at it and listen to it than I think people give it credit for.”

California budget perpetuates deficit spending Roswell Daily Record

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — Even as California lawmakers passed a budget Friday to end an unprecedented 100-day impasse, their spending plan looked to be so tenuous that the next governor was expected to face a multibillion dollar deficit from the moment he or she steps into office next year.

Two-thirds of the budget solutions signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday afternoon are based on one-time or temporary money — some of which may never materialize.

That will leave California to face “sizable annual budget problems in 201112 and beyond,” the Legislative Analyst’s Office said in a report issued after the Senate passed the main budget bill earlier Friday.

Lawmakers bridged a $19 billion shortfall, more than 20 percent of the $87.5 billion general fund spending plan. It includes no tax or fee increases but uses a combination of cuts, funding shifts, delayed corporate tax breaks and assumptions about money the state hopes to receive.

Among those assumptions is $5.4 billion in new

federal funding, which is $4 billion more than the state has received so far this year and $2 billion more than Schwarzenegger projected in the revised budget proposal he released in May. Most of the money has not been authorized by Congress, which could change into Republican hands in November.

The heavy reliance on assumed federal money drew criticism from California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa who called California’s budget “an embarrassment.”

“It’s full of false assumptions and failed gimmicks,” Issa, R-Vista, said in statement.

Schwarzenegger, a Republican, and state lawmakers acknowledge there are no guarantees the state will collect that much more from the federal government. Califor nia was among at least 46 states that faced shortfalls this year due to the negative impact of the economy, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

“I’m really wanting to have a career, not just a job,” said Secinore, who r ec en t l y l o st a c o u nt e r position at an auto parts store.

Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, right, receives congratulation from Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, after the long over due state budget was approved by the Senate at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., Friday. from the stimulus program, about $32 billion has been awarded directly to state government for safety-net programs and to help stabilize the deficit, according to the state’s recovery task force.

“Califor nia, like many other states, has had to make many tough choices and we look forward to continued cooperation with Gov. Schwarzenegger as we work to create more jobs and move the economy forward for families in California and across the coun-

try,” said White House spokesman Adam Abrams in a statement.

In crafting their tardy budget deal, the governor and the legislative leaders from the Assembly and Senate also assumed the state will take in $1.4 billion in additional tax revenue if the economy improves and will net $1.2 billion from selling 11 state properties, even though the governor’s original projection said the sale would net $660 million.

At the same time, several

revenue streams are drying up.

The federal stimulus program is about to end and temporary tax and fee increases the governor and Legislature approved last year will expire in the coming year. That will mean less revenue to cover education and health care spending commitments.

The state stands to lose about $8 billion when the temporary increases in the vehicle license fee, and sales and income taxes expire July 1, said Sen. Denise Ducheny, D-San Diego, chairwoman of the Senate budget committee.

“This budget will have a $10 billion deficit next year,” said state Sen. Jeff Denham of Merced, a candidate for a Central Valley congressional seat who particularly criticized the budget’s reliance on extra federal money. “I don’t expect to see any more bailouts next year. And I certainly don’t expect to see a $5 billion bailout for California.”

One of the gubernatorial candidates running to replace Schwarzenegger will inherit the ongoing deficit. Democrat Jerry

Brown’s spokesman Sterling Clifford said Brown will bring all sides together “from the very beginning to reach real solutions,” while Republican Meg Whitman’s spokesman Darrel Ng said “Califor nians deserve a strong leader who is willing to make the tough decisions.”

Both candidates addressed the state’s budgeting during their first debate last month at the University of California, Davis, agreeing that the negotiation process should begin much earlier.

Whitman also advocated for a two-year budgeting cycle, while Brown said he would authorize an 18 percent pay cut for the governor’s office and the Legislature.

At a news conference Friday, Schwarzenegger pointed to the rainy day fund and changes to the pension system that were part of the budget at his insistence.

“I’m proud that we used this crisis as an opportunity to pass major reforms that would help ensure we will never have to suffer through a crisis like this again,” he said.

Dying communities see salvation in new prisons

Gasoline pump prices still rising with higher oil NEW YORK (AP) — Drivers across the U.S. paid more for gas every day this week, and it looks like they could pay a little more before pump prices level off.

The average price of a gallon of regular hit $2.782 on Friday, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service.

That’s 1.4 cents higher than Thursday and 31.4 cents above a year ago.

Gas prices haven’t been this high since last spring.

Just a week ago, the average price was $2.692.

The price of oil has been around $80 a barrel or more for over a week.

Crude’s been rising as the dollar has weakened against the euro. Since oil is priced in dollars, it becomes more attractive to foreign investors as the dollar falls. Higher oil prices mean refiners have to pay more for crude to make gasoline and other refined products.

Benchmark crude rose

It’s not clear how much longer oil prices will continue to rise in the short term. Supplies remain abundant and energy analysts Cameron Hanover say crude is overbought. Oil rose above $84 a barrel on Thursday only to settle below $82 as the dollar briefly rose against the euro.

The dollar’s been falling for the past month because investors expect the Fed to buy government bonds to boost the U.S. economy. That should weaken the dollar further.

“It is abundantly evident that the Fed wants the U.S. dollar lower,” Cameron Hanover wrote in a note to investors.

“The problem from our perspective is that a telegraphed intention to pursue a weaker dollar is tantamount to pursuing higher oil prices.”

The federal Bureau of Prisons estimates the medium-security prison in Berlin will contribute about $38 million annually to the local and regional economy, with most of that spent on salaries, goods, services and utilities. Many of the 1,700 inmates will serve sentences for drug- and firear ms-related crimes in the large, white complex on a hill north of the city with a view of

the Pr esidential Mountain range.

“If the Bureau of Prisons hires a warehouse worker from the Berlin Walmart, that’s going to open up a steady-paying job for someone in the community,” bureau spokeswoman Cathi Litcher said.

Jobs crisis extends to unemployed, lawmakers

WASHINGTON (AP) — There’s no relief from the jobs crisis — for everyday Americans or lawmakers facing the midterm elections.

The most rampant layoffs of teachers and other local government workers in nearly three decades more than offset weak hiring in the private sector in September, resulting in a net loss of 95,000 jobs. Unemployment remained stuck at 9.6 percent.

The jobless rate has been at or above 9.5 percent for a year and two months, the longest stretch since the Great Depression. The “underemployment” rate adds part-time workers who would rather work full time and jobless people who aren’t actively seeking work. It now exceeds 17 percent.

The glum economic picture came Friday in the Labor Department’s last monthly jobs report before the November election. Voter frustration over jobs threatens to cost Democrats control of the House and perhaps the Senate.

“We have to keep doing everything we can to accelerate this recovery,” President Barack Obama said. “The only piece of economic news that folks still looking for work want to hear is, ‘You’re hired.’ And everything we do is dedicated to make that happen.”

The combination of limp hiring by businesses and more governments layoffs expected means unemployment could rise to 10 percent again this year or next. When Obama took

office in January 2009, the unemployment rate was 7.7 percent.

Republicans pointed to the weak jobs report as evidence of Democrats’ failed economic policies. They argued that the $814 billion stimulus has contributed to bloated federal deficits but done little to create jobs. Most economists say job losses would have been deeper and unemployment higher if not for the tax cuts and additional government spending.

“As Americans, we have to decide: Do we want another two years of jobkilling policies out of Washington?” said House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio.

In an Associated Press-GfK poll taken in September, 92 percent of Americans said the economy was an extremely or very important issue.

And 79 percent said the economy was in bad shape, compared with 15 percent who said it was healthy.

September was the fourth straight month in which the economy has lost jobs. Layoffs of government workers, including temporary Census Bureau employees, drove the decline. Most census jobs have already expired, but others have lasted longer.

In all, the economy shed 159,000 jobs in the public sector, including 76,000 at the local level, most of them teachers. It was the largest cut by local governments in 28 years.

One reason the spike is showing up now is that teachers who were notified of their layof fs when school ended in spring fell off the payrolls in

September. That’s the case for Georgia middle school teacher Candy Murdock, a mother of 13.

Despite seven years of experience and certifications in Spanish, biology and English for speakers of other languages, Murdock was laid off in the spring.

“I can’t just retire now like a lot of people are doing, because I taught part-time for so many years when my kids were young, and it doesn’t count toward retirement,” said Murdock, 56. “And I just can’t go back and retrain. I already did that once.”

More layof fs are expected from state and local governments despite a $26 billion aid package that Obama signed into law in August. The recession devastated state and local budgets.

Without any big rise in sales, companies are not adding jobs fast enough to make up for the losses. Private businesses added only 64,000 positions last month, only about half what it takes to keep up with the growing work force.

There are now 14.8 million people officially unemployed in the United States, and even that figure doesn’t capture the suffering. People out of work who have stopped looking for jobs are not counted as unemployed.

Adding those people plus others who are working part time but would prefer full-time jobs, nearly 27 million are “underemployed” — 17.1 percent of American adults, up from 16.7 percent in August and close to a record.

Special touches can create a beautiful bathroom

can be treated to resist moisture and can be painted any color.

What about wallpaper? It’s hugely popular right now, though it’s more common in small powder rooms than in master baths.

“Can you do wallpaper in a bath you use daily? Yes,” says Burnham. “My wallpaper guy told me abut this wonderful finish-coat that your painter can paint over the wallpaper” to protect it from moisture over time.

If you don’t want to commit to an entire room of wallpaper, Soto suggests papering one wall in a large, bold pattern.

MELISSA RAYWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Five years ago, the ideal master bathroom was supposed to be large and lavish, with a huge Jacuzzi tub and a mile-long marble vanity.

Times have changed, of course, and so have budgets.

“Everyone’s scaling down in every single room,” says Sabrina Soto, a real estate agent and host of HGTV’s “Real Estate Intervention” and “Get It Sold.”

And yet, Soto says, people still want their bathroom to be something special. It’s where their day begins and ends, “so it’s really a destination for them within their homes.”

Like Burnham, Flynn favors baths done in all white or black and white. These choices “never get old,” he says, “and then any single color you mix in will go great.”

Flynn also likes white in contrast with charcoal or black/brown (which he describes as “basically a mix of super-dark brown and charcoal, richer than black and not as harsh”).

You can bring in a bold accent color by painting one wall, or just through towels and accessories. In choosing accent colors, Soto says, pick something that works well with the decor of the master bedroom.

Also, Flynn says, consider how a given color makes you look in the bathroom light. This is a place where “you spend a lot of time looking at yourself,” he says, and if the walls give off a greenish hue you may not feel very attractive first thing in the morning.

Another color tip, this one from Soto: Use darker shades of grout, because they’re easier to keep looking clean.

CUSTOM CREATIONS

Burnham often makes medicine cabinets for clients. It’s surprisingly simple: “The contractor or builder creates a box for me, and I pick a wonderful frame at my framer and have a mirror made. We use a big hinge on the side that opens 180 degrees.”

“In a bathroom, you want to use every bit of space you have for storage,” she says. “So it’s a great way to have an original piece over your sink” and also create ample shelf space.

Rather than buying a complete sink and vanity, Flynn suggests choosing a cabinet or dresser at a flea market and then having a sink fitted into the top. Choose a cabinet with legs if you want the illusion of more floor space.

You’ll just need a carpenter to cut holes in the top and back. Then a plumber can attach the sink and install the whole thing.

Vessel sinks, where the bowl rests above the vanity, can work well with this kind of design. They come in a huge array of colors and materials. But Burnham cautions that they are very trendy right now and might feel dated as time passes.

THE RIGHT MATERIALS

Consider the overall design of your home as you choose the permanent elements of the bathroom.

“A more classic bath in a classic, traditional house really does ask for ceramic tile” in crisp white or a soft cream, Burnham says. “If you’ve got a more modern house, and you’re putting in metal windows, then I love stone” for floors, countertops and even walls.

Other possibilities: “People are now going into the eco-

Flynn shared that although he loved the kelly green painted walls, the tone was unflattering on skin tones. He now chooses bathroom paint colors which compliment client's complexions.

friendly options, like bamboos or recycled glass,” says Soto. “And recycled tires and paper are being used for countertops — it’s really durable.”

If the walls are a solid, neutral color, Burnham likes to go “a bit crazier on the floors, like a black and white pattern or a stone mosaic.”

A wooden bathroom floor is also a possibility. The wood

“Instead of a big Jacuzzi tub, people want a soaking tub. Or they’re getting rid of the tub altogether,” says Soto.

“People would rather have a huge shower that maybe has two showerheads, or do the steam-room shower.”

Rain and waterfall showerheads come in many styles, and some units have sprays that run head-to-toe.

If you want a tub, consider a freestanding model. They are modern versions of old clawfoot tubs, but with a base that goes all the way to the floor. They feel more like a distinctive piece of furniture than a built-in part of the bathroom.

Heated floors are a splurge that some people consider well worth it. Heated towel racks, which are less expensive, offer some of the same luxury. And some of Burnham’s clients say they must have a TV in the bathrooom for watching news in the morning.

One last fabulous touch? Flynn loves using a chandelier in place of a basic ceiling light.

Frito-Lay to pull most noisy SunChips bags

NEW YORK (AP) — Frito-Lay hopes to quiet complaints about its noisy SunChips bags by switching out the biodegradable bags for the old packaging on most flavors.

The company is switching back to original packaging, which is made of a type of plastic, for five of the six varieties of the chips. It will keep the biodegradable and recyclable bags for its sixth variety, its original plain flavor. That’s its second best-selling, after Harvest Cheddar.

The snack maker said the switch started in the middle of September and should be complete by middle to late October.

The bags were launched in April 2009 with a big marketing effort to play up their compostability because they’re made from plants and not plastic.

But that which makes them compostable also makes them loud. The bags have a different molecular structure from the original packaging, and they’re stiffer. So people complained about the noise. Groups on Facebook abound with names such as “I wanted SunChips but my roommate was sleeping...” and “Nothing is louder than a SunChips bag.”

Spokeswoman Aurora Gonzalez said the company received complaints about the noise from the bags, although it also received thanks from customers who liked being able to recycle them.

So the decision was made to remove the bulk of the biodegradable line.

“We need to listen to our consumers,” she said. “We clearly heard their feedback.”

Frito-Lay, a unit of PepsiCo Inc., based in Purchase, N.Y., is developing its next generation of biodegradable bags and will use what it learned with the SunChips effort, she said.

More and more companies are trying to develop sustainable packaging, not just to save on costs but because it’s what shoppers want, said Bob Stolmeier, business development manager for Zip-Pak, who works with companies to create packaging. But there’s a limit to how much shoppers will sacrifice in the name of sustainability, and apparently noise is one of the sore spots.

Gap falls into online flap with redesigned logo

NEW YORK (AP) — Gap is taking a lot of flak online for stealthily swapping out its decades-old white-onnavy blue logo.

Fans are puzzled, even irritated, and an expert is calling the way Gap Inc. has handled the switch “pretty stupid.”

But the iconic chain still plans to add the new logo — a white background with black letters and a little blue box — to its stores and advertising next month. A spokeswoman said Friday that Gap will unveil plans within weeks for customers to help with the new logo, which appeared on Gap’s website Monday.

“We love our version, but we’d like to ... see other ideas,” the company was telling fans by Wednesday on Facebook — where it’s still using the old logo, the

blue square with white capital letters.

It’s not clear what kind of help Gap has in mind — making changes to the new design, creating an entirely new logo or contributing to other parts of Gap’s branding. The company hasn’t touched the looks of its other brands — Old Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime and Athleta.

The new design was meant to show how the Gap chain has evolved from its long-standing, even preppy image. It’s meant to complement Gap’s sleeker new designs, new fits for black pants and khakis and more modern feel, said spokeswoman Louise Callagy.

This image released by Perigee/Tory Williams shows the witch Baba Yaga craft from Diana Schoenbrun’s book, “Beasties,” 2010, Perigee. An avalanche of new books for knitters and sewers shows that one of the crafting world’s big trends involves making “friends” traditional, stuffed animals, for sure, but also oddball critters and monsters.

Monster crafts are frightfully fun THE ASSOCIATED PRESS An avalanche of new books for knitters and sewers shows that one of the crafting world’s big trends involves making “friends” — traditional, stuffed animals, for sure, but also oddball critters and monsters. Just in time for the spooky season, here’s a roundup of the most recent, clever ideas for crafting cuddly — and beastly — critters.

A puppet-maker by day, author Diana Schoenbrun, of Brooklyn, N.Y., found her love for creatures spilling into her personal life. What emerged from research into mythology and monster tales is a personal take on the creaturely in “Beasties” (Perigee, 2010).

Schoenbrun, 27, thinks she’s not alone in her fascination with monsters.

“I think people like that certain element of mystery, and the storytelling” inherent in monster tales, she says.

“It’s exciting to believe in something, to think, ’Is it possible there’s something here that’s tangible?’”

While some of Schoenbrun’s monsters appear to have nasty temperaments, they’re all huggable, soft and squeezable.

Not only are some of the patterns doable by new and young sewers, Schoenbrun thinks her “beastly brigade” will foster imaginative play. Kids can “be active and make up stories with the characters,” she says.

The same goes for the knitted critters in Anna Hrachovec’s “Knitting Mochimochi” (Watson-Guptill, 2010).

While studying in Japan a few years ago, Hrachovec became familiar with the cute creatures that permeate that country’s culture. She recalls businesses had cute, crittery logos.

“I spent a lot of time there in stationery stores and toy stores, marveling at the many characters,” says Hrachovec, 29. “I love how the cuteness in Japan is not just for kids.”

In Japan, a “mochi” is a sweet made of sticky rice, and “mochimochi” refers to something that is “sticky” and “squishy,” like chewy bread, says Hrachovec.

The Brooklyn knitter has come up with 20 designs that fit her improvised “mochimochi” bill — sweet, soft and cuddly. Her pigs wear wigs, her bunny is a “neck

nuzzler” and her squirrels have wheels.

She also offers patterns for “nano knits” — micro mountains, tiny human “beans” and a petite pencil.

They’re all forms of amigurumi, the Japanese word for crocheted or knitted stuffed animals with human characteristics.

The Zombie

adapted from “Beasties,” by Diana Schoenbrun Supplies: cotton fabric felt, assorted colors 1 large pom-pom gauze, bandage wrap or clothing scrap synthetic stuffing craft stuffing craft glue thread scissors sewing needle paper chalk or fabric marker pins Assembly: 1. Draw a simple outline of a body shape — with only a torso, head and legs — on paper. The body should be approximately 10 inches tall and 4 inches wide for sewing ease. Draw the arms, feet and ears separately.

Cut out paper shapes for patterns.

2. Use patterns to cut two body shapes from fabric.

From felt, cut out four arm shapes, four feet shapes, and two ear shapes. Cut additional eyes, blood droplets and teeth from felt.

3. Sew body shapes together, right sides together, leaving about 2 inches unsewn. Turn body right side out, fill with stuffing, and sew body closed.

4. Sew felt pieces to make two arms and two feet. Fill with stuffing and sew closed. Sew arms to upper body and feet to legs.

5. Embroider a mouth. Sew ears to head.

6. Sew pom-pom and felt eyes to the head. Glue on blood droplets and gauze.

Tip: Make your Zombie from old, recycled clothes.

Facebook co-founders give $170K to pro-pot measure Roswell Daily Record

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California’s ballot measure to legalize marijuana has a new friend: Facebook co-founder Sean Parker has given $100,000 to back the proposal.

Parker’s donation was reported in Proposition 19 campaign finance filings this week.

And he’s not the first big Proposition 19 donor with ties to the social networking site. Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz gave $20,000 to the campaign and has contributions $70,000 overall.

Neither Parker nor Moskovitz are still with Palo Alto-based Facebook, but both still have ownership stakes. Recent estimates put the value of the privately held company as high as $33.7 billion.

“What’s interesting here is that (Parker) is a member of the generation that really gets it,” said Stephen Gutwillig, a spokesman for the Drug Policy Alliance, the main beneficiary of Parker’s contribution. “We think he’s pivotal to the future of drug policy reform in the country.”

The 30-year-old served as Facebook’s first president and helped transform the company from dorm-room project to big

business. Parker and Moskovitz have become household names since the recent release of “The Social Network.” The film chronicling the contentious origins of Facebook was No. 1 at the box office last week.

Pop musician and actor Justin Timberlake plays Parker in the movie, which portrays him as a hotshot who convinces Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to push out his friend from the burgeoning company.

In a recent Vanity Fair profile, the media-shy entrepreneur is described as a computer-programming prodigy with an uncanny knack for anticipating online trends and a penchant for designer clothes and partying.

At age 19, Parker helped develop Napster, the music-sharing software that turned the recording industry upsidedown. He is now a partner at Founders Fund, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm.

Parker did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

About $1.5 million of the $2.4 million raised so far in support of Proposition 19 has come from the measure’s main sponsor, Oakland medical marijuana entrepre-

Shoppers have upper hand this

NEW YORK (AP) — The Christmas shopping season doesn’t kick off for another six weeks, but retailers already are signaling they're prepared to discount aggressively if needed to entice shoppers still skittish about spending.

Stores expect gift buyers to scrutinize every purchase, from $20 toys to $1,000 designer jackets, and to limit how many stores they visit.

Most forecasters aren’t expecting shoppers to spend much more than they did during last year’s tepid season, when sales rose only 0.4 percent after slumping 3.9 percent a year earlier, according to the National Retail Federation’s calculations. “The consumer is being very restrained.

They’re closely planning their spending and continue to reduce their shopping trips,� said James Russo, vice president of global consumer insights at The Nielsen Co. A lot is riding on holiday sales because they account for up to 40 percent of annual revenue for many retailers. For toy merchants, it’s up to 50 percent.

In an address to investors late last month, J.C. Penney Co.’s Chairman and CEO Mike Ullman said that the department store chain was prepared to discount this Christmas season to bring shoppers in, after holding back a little last year. “I think this year we have chosen to take a bit more pricing liberty,� Ullman said.

Bill Simon, CEO and president of WalMart’s U.S. business, told investors at another conference a few weeks ago, “We expect a very, very competitive and aggressive Christmas and holiday selling season.�

Retailers reported surprisingly strong September sales on Wednesday, fueled by a better back-to-school shopping season.

That’s likely to boost their holiday spirits a bit, but until holiday shopping hits high gear, worries will remain.

While fears that the economy might fall back into recession have eased in recent weeks, Americans haven't seen much tangible improvement since last Christmas.

Unemployment is still stuck at almost 10 percent. Credit remains tight, crimping shoppers’ ability to spend, and home values are still falling in many U.S. markets.

No wonder analysts say they see a growing divide among consumers. “There is a sharp cleavage of those with full-time jobs, who are returning to spending on discretionary items, though cautiously, and the others without full-time jobs, who are spending solely on need,� said Craig Johnson, president of retail consultancy Customer Growth Partners.

John Long, retail strategist at Kurt Salmon Associates, says shoppers will be looking for gifts that “exude practicality and smarts.� He and others predict smart phones and e-readers, particularly Apple Inc.’s iPad and iPhone, will be hot. So will

Toy stocks might make a good stocking stuffer this holiday season.

BMO Capital Markets analyst Gerrick Johnson sees a strong holiday season that will help stocks that are already up in the double digits this year keep rising.

Mattel’s shares have risen 18 percent and Hasbro’s 42 percent for the year. The S&P 500 is up just 3 percent.

Johnson predicts toy sales overall will rise 3 percent in 2010, up from his original estimate of 2 percent. The sector has not grown by more than 0.5 percentage point a year in more than 10 years.

During the recession, Americans stopped buying expensive toys — those over $100 — but still bought presents for children.

Mattel, the largest U.S. toymaker, is poised to shine. Key brands such as Barbie and Hot Wheels are doing well, and new toys such as singing dolls Singa-ma-jigs are doing better than expected, Johnson says.

He rates Mattel “Outperform,� along with toy makers Build-A-Bear Workshop, LeapFrog Industries and RC2. He rates Hasbro “Market Perform,� because the No. 2 toymaker has several toy lines that are aging. But he notes that the Nerf brand, including the $50 Nerf Stampede foam dart gun, continues to be strong.

Sony Corp.’s Playstation3 Move controller and Microsoft Corp.’s Kinect, which both let video-game players control characters in a game with body movements, similar to the Nintendo Wii. Russo expects merchants may see surprisingly strong sales of discretionary items such as clothing, toys, books and even vacations, fueled by shoppers with household incomes of $100,000 or more.

Still, these shoppers will be studying the price and quality of each item.

Since this spring shoppers, even some wealthier people, have pulled back amid an economic recovery that has lost some momentum. While luxury shoppers are holding up much better, Neiman Marcus and several other upscale stores have reported erratic sales amid wild swings in the stock market.

For the back-to-school season, shoppers stuck to lists and shopped late. As a result, sales were only slightly better than last year, which was weak. That mirrors the holiday outlook.

The NRF expects a 2.3 percent increase to $447.1 billion, better than last year’s tepid 0.4 percent gain. That would fall short of the 10-year historic average of 2.5 percent, according to National Retail Federation calculations.

Holiday hiring picture gets a bit merrier

NEW YORK (AP) — The holiday hiring picture looks a bit merrier this year.

Macy’s, Toys R Us, Pier 1, American Eagle Outfitters and Borders all plan to hire more temporary holiday workers this year than last, emboldened by several months of sales gains and a slowly improving economy.

The jobs probably won’t be enough to be a dent in the nation’s nearly 10 percent unemployment rate, but for Americans desperate for some work, they’re far more than an early Christmas present. “I’m trying to do anything at this point,� said Nancy Hoagland, who was laid off from her marketing job in May and has been working part-time as a cashier at a golf club near her home in Littleton, Colo., to pay the bills.

On hearing that stores might add more jobs this holiday season, she said she might stop by Kohl’s department store on the way home to see if she could fill out an application. “My husband and I could be facing foreclosure if we don’t get (steady employment) secured in the next couple of months. I’ve never faced anything like that in my life,� she said.

Retailers will add between 550,000 and 650,000 jobs this holiday season, according to an updated forecast from the national outsourcing firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas, said spokesman James Pedderson. That’s significantly more than the 501,400 added last year. But it’s still well below the 720,800 added in 2007, just before the recession began.

The holidays are crucial to retailers, accounting for 40 percent of annual sales in some cases. Retailers have seen modest sales gains in recent months, easing fears of a double-dip recession.

Another positive sign: Americans’ incomes have risen slightly but steadily this year.

But it’s not clear whether those bright spots will offset pessimism among shoppers. Sales are still far below pre-recession levels, and consumer confidence is at its lowest point since February.

Most retailers plan to hire more workers or the same amount as last year, according to a survey of 20 major U.S. retailers, including J.C. Penney Co., Abercrombie & Fitch Co., and Pier 1.

Calif. station KCET leaving PBS to go independent

LOS ANGELES (AP) — PBS station KCET said Friday it’s dropping out of the public TV system and going independent because of a dispute over fees and programming.

Starting in January, the Los Angeles-based station’s schedule will include some current shows along with new fare that reflect Southern California’s “diverse� voices, KCET President Al Jerome said in a statement.

He did not detail which shows would remain, but a PBS spokeswoman said the system’s programs can only be carried by member stations. KCET’s lineup includes such well-known PBS series as “Sesame Street,� “PBS Newshour� and “Masterpiece.� “After four decades as the West Coast flagship PBS station, this is not a decision we made lightly,� Jerome said.

Three other PBS stations serve the Southern California region, although none carry the system’s full slate of shows.

KCET said it was struggling under a dues assessment that was frozen at the highest rate in the station’s history as the economy crashed, leading to a drop in contributions from viewers, companies and foundations.

The move by KCET follows several years of discussions with PBS about the challenges it was facing, Jerome said.

PBS, in a statement issued from its Arlington, Va., headquarters, said it received notice Friday of KCET’s intention to withdraw from the system. “At issue were KCET’s repeated requests that it be allowed to operate as a PBS member station without abiding by PBS policies and paying the corresponding dues,� PBS said.

Last year, KCET’s dues were $6.8 million. That represented close to one-fifth of the station’s $37-million net operating revenue, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Dues generally average about 13 percent of a station’s operating budget, with PBS in return providing some 70 percent of the member station’s programming.

Speaking to the Television Critics Association in August, PBS President Paula Kerger said the system was reassessing how dues are calculated and was “very aware of the financial challenges that everyone is facing.�

Southwest Airlines agreed to buy AirTran last week for $1.4 billion.

When the combination is complete, fliers — especially those used to AirTran — will notice plenty of changes, from the way they book to the way they board.

Here’s a look at four ways air travel may change when Southwest and AirTran get together, which could take until 2012: FARES. The “Southwest effect� is so well-documented that even the government cites it now: When Southwest enters a new market, fares fall, often steeply.

Travelers in Atlanta, at least, should see lower fares to places where Southwest flies but AirTran does not, such as Cleveland, Louisville and Little Rock.

But the impact on fares in other places is less clear. For one thing, Southwest is taking over in markets already served by another discount carrier. For another, less competition generally makes for higher prices.

Without AirTran, “The airlines don't have that excuse anymore of, ‘Well, the other kids are doing it.’ There’s one less kid,� said George Hobica, the founder of airfarewatchdog.com.

SMALLER MARKETS. Southwest gains access to 37 new airports — the kind of markets that it had never considered or deemed too small too bother with. Places like Dayton, Ohio; Bloomington, Ill.; and Allentown, Pa. Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said in an interview that the airline assumes “we’ll keep all of them,� although he noted that when Southwest bought a low-fare carrier called Morris Air in 1993, it dropped some smaller destinations.

Mike Boyd, an aviation consultant who was hired by Southwest’s pilots this year to study the effect of different Southwest merger scenarios, said the airline will drop very few AirTran locations no matter their size. “Those markets all make money, and Southwest will fly wherever they can make money, whether it’s Jackson, Miss., or Los Angeles,� Boyd said.

CHANGES FOR SOUTHWEST

Most U.S. airlines are making money again thanks to higher fares and planes with few empty seats.

So is this finally a good time to buy airline stocks?

The industry has lost money in seven of the last 10 years, and their stocks have taken a beating.

The AMEX Airline index fell 71.5 percent over that time while the S&P 500 index fell 21 percent.

Southwest Airlines and Continental each fell about 50 percent, while American Airlines parent AMR plunged 80 percent. United and Delta went through bankruptcy, wiping out shareholders.

But the airlines had their first profitable quarter since late 2007 during the April-June period. And the International Air Transport Association predicts the world’s carriers will earn $8.9 billion this year and $5.3 billion next year.

Some analysts aren’t swayed. “Only a fool

would consider investing in an airline,� says Bob Herbst, operator of Airlinefinancials.com.

Others note that consolidation could help profits because fewer carriers will compete for passengers. That will help ease a problem that hurt airlines in the past: too many seats for too few customers. United and Continental have now formed the world’s biggest airline. And Southwest is buying AirTran.

Helane Becker, an analyst with Dahlman Rose & Co., sees opportunities, but says investors should be choosy. She says international business traffic is still growing. So, look for carriers with exposure to overseas flying, including Delta and US Airways.

Also, Alaska Air and Hawaiian Airlines parent Hawaiian Holdings have niche markets and their stocks are actually up during the past decade.

PASSENGERS. They’ll be able to earn and redeem frequent-flier points for trips to Southwest’s new destinations.

Southwest officials say the customer experience at the airport and on the plane won’t change much.

There will be no assigned seats, no change in the boarding process — passengers line up and grab any available seat — and no business- or first-class cabins.

And Southwest isn’t likely to make tickets more widely available on the Internet. It sells most of its seats on Southwest.com without farming sales out to sites like Orbitz and Expedia. “We’ve been absolutely protective of our brand, and a big piece of our brand is Southwest.com,� said Bob Jordan, Southwest’s executive vice president of strategy and planning.

But he left a little wiggle room, saying Southwest must be open to learning from AirTran’s ways — one of which is selling tickets on many websites.

program and promises to unveil changes next year. Jordan said those changes won’t be influenced by the addition of AirTran. He wouldn’t say if Southwest will continue to base rewards on the number of trips, or switch to miles flown like most other airlines.

CHANGES FOR AIRTRAN CUSTOMERS. They get access to many new destinations because AirTran serves only about half of Southwest’s 69 cities. For AirTran passengers, the deal opens up some of the West, including Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, N.M.; and Portland, Ore. They can choose among four airports in the Los Angeles area and three around San Francisco instead of one apiece.

Their biggest break may be on fees. Southwest officials say they plan to drop AirTran’s charges for checked bags. Right now, two bags cost $45. Southwest also doesn’t charge a fee for itinerary changes, while AirTran charges $75. Southwest says it plans to drop the fee on AirTran.
