PUTTIN’ DOWN THE PENNIES

June 18, 2011

A federal arson specialist with the Bureau of Land Management is investigating the cause of Thursday's Swallow Fire in Ruidoso that destroyed nine homes, police say.

Ruidoso Police Department Chief Joe Magill said Friday that the blaze was human

caused and that officials anticipate being able to identify a possible suspect. The 10acre fire started at the base of a canyon and was driven uphill by high winds.

“We have called a special investigator,” Magill said. “We anticipate identifying the person who started the fire. It was not a natural fire.”

He credited the “excellent work “ of

the responding fire departments in getting a hold of the blaze before it damaged properties. more About 50 structures were threatened in the area of Swallow Drive, according to New Mexico State Forestry officials.

Magill said the origin of the blaze is in an area sometimes occupied by drifters.

“The origin of the fire ... (is in) an area that is frequently occupied in the woods by transients,” he said. “At first, we thought we might have had a person of interest, but we’re not sure that’s the same person. We have to move a little further in our investigation.”

Village officials confir med they were in the process of contacting home owners whose residences bur ned. Magill said six of the houses were summer homes and that the remaining three were occupied by full-time Ruidoso residents.

Roswell natives Melissa Mathis, 28, and Alexis Torres, 27, were arrested on June 8 in Alamogordo for the murder of Shavon Twitty, 33.

Alamogordo police were called to Burger King, 117 S. White Sands Blvd., around 4:15 a.m. in reference to a woman suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Twitty was an employee of Burger King but was not working at the time of the incident. She was shot just

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — In one of those can’t-miss moments in sports, thousands of fans covered every inch of space on the hill behind the 10th green at Congressional. They spilled onto the clubhouse veranda, pressed their faces against the windows and lined up against the balcony railing to watch Rory McIlroy deliver a performance never before seen in the U.S. Open.

“It was Tiger Woods of 11 years ago,” Ian Poulter said.

The fire came in the wake of April’s White Fire, which charred more than 9,600 acres and destroyed five homes and numerous outbuildings.

JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER Part 3 of 3 In a time when the government must squeeze every penny, some may question the costs and court time spent on the Jail Diversion Program.

District Attorney Janetta Hicks says the program is worth the time and money.

“When the mentally ill are adequately treated, it significantly reduces their recidivism. In addition, there is a significant taxpayer cost savings. Previously, defendants would spend a long time in jail waiting for the courts to determine whether they were competent to stand trial ... Participation in the program can be time consuming for the judge, prosecutor and defense counsel. It is still less than handling the additional cases if they were not receiving treatment.”

The attorneys work at a reduced rate, estimated at a fifth or one-

sixth of the normal per hour rate.

“You don’t do this to make money. You do it because you want to do some good for people and for the community,” said Shelbie Allen.

Judge Ralph D. Shamas sits on the competency hearings.

Jail Diversion Program Coordinator at Counselling Associates Jose Macias said, “Judge Shamas was involved in the New Mexico Behavioral Commission in Roswell and considers mental health an important issue.”

A comparison between housing a person at Chaves County Detention Center and the cost of the program reveals a savings for the community.

Detention Center Administrator Sandra Stewart estimates the cost of maintaining an inmate at $65 a day or around $2,000 a month.

GENEVA (AP) — The United Nations endorsed the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender people for the first time ever Friday, passing a resolution hailed as historic by the U.S. and other backers and decried by some African and Muslim countries.

The declaration was cautiously worded, expressing “grave concern” about abuses because of sexual orientation and commissioning a global report on discrimination against gays.

But activists called it an important shift on an issue that has divided the global body for decades, and they credited the Obama administration’s push for gay rights at home and abroad.

“This represents a historic moment to highlight the human rights abuses and violations that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face around the world based solely on who they are and whom they love,” U.S. Secre-

tary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement.

Following tense negotiations, members of the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council narrowly voted in favor of the declaration put forward by South Africa, with 23 votes in favor and 19 against.

Backers included the U.S., the European Union, Brazil and other Latin American countries. Those against included Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Pakistan.

China, Burkina Faso and Zambia abstained, Kyrgyzstan didn’t vote and Libya was suspended from the rights body earlier.

The resolution expressed “grave concern at acts of violence and discrimination, in all regions of the world, committed against individuals because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.”

JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Natasha Sing has worn many hats in her life: optician, dental assistant student at Eastern New Mexico University, dental hygienist and cheerleading coach. But only recently has she found her true passion: working for Chaves County Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children.

It was there she became the service dog handler of Emma, the CASA therapy dog.

“I’m a big, big animal enthusiast,” she said.

Sing was recently selected to be Emma’s handler when CASA applied for a courthouse/therapy dog to

assist individuals, especially abused or neglected children and those with disabilities, navigate the ofttimes stressful criminal justice system.

The golden retriever was rescued from the Roswell pound when her owner could no longer afford to keep her and was trained

by Assistance Dogs of the West in Santa Fe to be a Courthouse Dog. Sing also learned how to be a handler by the same group.

Emma’s training lasted two years, and Sing’s, two

weeks. Sing explained that she had to unlearn some of the techniques she would normally use with a pet.

“Emma did all of the training. I was just there to learn,” she said.

The mother of three says she bonded with Emma quickly, and the pup is considered a member of the family. A cheerleading coach for six years, three years at Dexter and three years with the Roswell Youth Football League, See EMMA, Page A8

outside the rear door of Burger King.

Her coworkers who witnessed the shooting called the police. They were able to provide investigators with an accurate description of the suspects’ vehicle.

According to the criminal complaint, when officers arrived at the scene, they found Twitty inside, where she had been dragged by employees, with gunshot wounds to both upper legs.

Twitty was transported to Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center where she was prepared for life flight to El Paso, Texas.

Two deputies from the Otero County Sheriff's Department located the 1995 silver Nissan Sentra on the west side of Alamogordo, traveling north on the Charlie T. Lee Memorial Relief Route.

Deputies stopped the car near Eighth Street and the Highway 54 - Highway 70 bypass, and found both Mathis and Torres inside, along with Jonathan Montoya, 18, of Ruidoso.

Officials also found a gun, a stolen TV and a stolen Playstation inside the vehicle. Mathis told officers they broke into a residence on the 400 block of Canal Street in Alamogordo because they thought Twitty was staying there.

During her initial interview with investigators, Torres said she and Mathis “grew up together in Roswell.”

Detectives learned from Mathis that she had been involved in a romantic relationship with Twitty for about six years. The pair had separated recently, and Mathis was having a difficult time with the separation. Mathis stated she had been “drinking and popping pills all day” and went to visit Torres, where she met Montoya. After the three left Torres’ Ruidoso home, they purchased a gun.

They then traveled to an Alamogordo residence where, according to court records, Mathis and Torres went inside

Sing says she used that skill to train Emma.

“I rely on my coaching experience when working with Emma. I am the coach, and she is the athlete,” Sing said.

CASA’s Executive Director CarrieLeigh Cloutier says Emma has many responsibilities as a courthouse dog. A typical work day for Sing and Emma lasts 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. In the mornings, Emma bounds into the office, picks up her stuffed duck toy and visits every office in the building. She does visitation in the afternoons and works with CASA children to ease their trauma. Emma is also trained to go to court with children and sit in the witness stand with them as they testify against their abuser.

Cloutier said District Attorney Janetta Hicks is very supportive of the courthouse dog program, and Sing says she arranges her day to accommodate the courts.

Sing says Emma is a bit of a fashion hound and has a wardrobe of scarves that the children enjoy. But when Emma wears her red-and-yellow service

also established a formal U.N. process to document human rights abuses against gays, including discriminatory laws and acts of violence. According to Amnesty Inter national, consensual same-sex relations are illegal in 76 countries worldwide, while harassment and discrimination are common in many more.

“Today’s resolution breaks the silence that has been maintained for far too long,” said John Fisher of the gay rights advocacy group ARC International.

The White House in a statement strongly backed the declaration.

“This marks a significant milestone in the long struggle for equality, and the beginning of a universal recognition that (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) persons are endowed with the same inalienable rights — and entitled to the same protections — as all human beings.”

The resolution calls for a panel discussion next spring with “constructive, informed and transparent dialogue on the issue of discriminatory laws and practices and acts of violence against” gays, lesbians and transgender people.

The prospect of having their laws scrutinized in this way went too far for many of the council’s 47-member states.

“We are seriously concerned at the attempt to introduce to the United Nations some notions that have no legal foundation,” said Zamir Akram, Pakistan’s envoy to the U.N. in Geneva, speaking on behalf of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

Nigeria claimed the proposal went against the wishes of most Africans. A diplomat from the northwest African state of Mauritania called the resolution

GENERAL to purchase narcotics.

The combination of drugs, alcohol, and firearms resulted in a lethal cocktail for Twitty, who was was pronounced dead around Melissa Mathis 7:47 a.m. by an Office of Medical Investigator field deputy.

Mathis, Torres and Montoya w e r e charged with one open count of murder in the firstdegree, sec- Alexis Torres ond-degree felony conspiracy to commit murder, second-degree shooting at or from a motor vehicle, third-degree conspiracy to commit a shooting at or from a motor vehicle, third-degree residential burglary and fourth-degree conspiracy to commit residential burglary.

All three are charged because police have yet to determine who fired the gun.

In addition, Montoya was charged with tampering with evidence.

Mathis has had previous convictions as a violent offender. She was convicted in June 2006 in Roswell District Court on charges of breaking and entering, aggravated battery and burglary.

Mathis, Torres and Montoya are currently being held without bond at Otero County Detention Center. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

vest, she is all business. She “speaks” three different languages — English, Spanish and American Sign Language; responds to some 100 commands, 25 of which are used regularly; and can walk backwards and gives a high fives.

Sing turns in monthly reports for Emma that cover everything from diet, tasks, performance and schedules.

Training is ongoing. The pair will go through annual tests to maintain their status. Sing also has to deal with any fears or phobias that Emma may have.

Sing uses positive reinforcement to help Emma overcome her fears.

“One time I took her into Petco, and she had an adverse reaction to tennis balls. I have to train her that everything is going to be fine.

Children’s Justice Advocacy Group, Calder Ezzell and Nature’s Dairy all contribute to Emma’s upkeep.

“an attempt to replace the natural rights of a human being with an unnatural right.”

Boris Dittrich of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights program at Human Rights Watch said it was important for the U.S. and Western Europe to persuade South Africa to take the lead on the resolution so that other non-Western countries would be less able to claim the West was imposing its values.

At the same time, he noted that the U.N. has no enforcement mechanism to back up the resolution. “It’s up to civil society to name and shame those governments that continue abuses,” Dittrich said.

The Obama administration has been pushing for gay rights both domestically and internationally.

In March, the U.S. issued a nonbinding declaration in favor of gay rights that gained the support of more than 80 countries at the U.N. In addition, Congress recently repealed the ban on gays openly serving in the military, and the Obama administration said it would no longer defend the constitutionality of the U.S. law that bars federal recognition of same-sex marriage.

The vote in Geneva came at a momentous time for the gay rights debate in the U.S. Activists across the political spectrum were on edge Friday as New York legislators considered a bill that would make the state the sixth — and by far the biggest — to allow same-sex marriage.

Asked what good the U.N. resolution would do for gays and lesbians in countries that opposed the resolution, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary Daniel Baer said it was a signal “that there are many people in the international community who stand with them and who support them, and that change will come.”

between 200 and 250, the total monthly cost to the county is between $400,000 and $500,000, or about $6 million annually.

The figure includes the cost of medication and medical treatment. “We have a provider who bids on these services.

The provider bids and the bid has a cap.

That being said, in 2009, we reached the cap 45 days into the fiscal year and then the rest of the money must come from the county. We no longer use that provider,” she said.

If a client from the Jail Diversion Program receives the one-person limit of $245 for income support and food stamps at $200, the total cost is $445.

Housing vouchers are difficult to calculate since they are on a sliding scale based on income. However, during the initial period, housing is often provided from shelters, and the only shelters in Roswell at this time are run by charities; therefore at no cost to the taxpayer.

Supplemental food provided by Harvest Ministries or the community comes from charitable donations.

It is difficult to assess the cost of the services Counselling Associates pro-

vides. Like CCDC, they have a cap on charges, but it is a lump sum for a single month which covers all their jaildiversion clients. If the number of clients goes down, not all the money is used. If the numbers go up, the maximum cap remains the same, thus, the amount received per client will be less.

Given the monthly cap and the current case load, Counselling Associates receives about $465 per person.

Medical bills and medication depend on the kind of treatment required, therefore it cannot be calculated. Some treatment programs, like Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous, have no cost to the community.

Overall, the total calculable costs, including income support, food stamps and counselling support are estimated at $910.

Compared to $2,000 for maintaining someone in jail, $910 seems a bargain for a person who may, at the end of it all, become a fully functioning and selfsupporting member of society.

Allen says the success rate is fairly high. Public defender James Lowre says that the program stabilizes clients so they can become functioning members of society. When the program is successful, they become taxpayers rather than a burden to the state.

Heavy Monsoon season historically follows drought SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico’s hopes for moisture now depend on the monsoons.

Will they come?

Computer weather models are pessimistic. They show the long, dry spell continuing, according to Wayne Sleep, snow surveyor for the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Historical data is more positive. “Nine times out of 10, we’ve had good monsoons following a dry winter and dry spring,” Sleep said. “Let’s hope it follows the historical pattern and not the models.”

Monsoons have been the state’s savior in 11 lowsnowpack years dating to 1967, according to Ed Polasko, hydrologist and forecaster with the National Weather Service in Albuquerque. Good monsoons can make up for a lack of snowmelt runoff, often providing the bulk of the state’s moisture. “The last time it was this dry was 2006. That was a really impressive monsoon summer,” Polasko said. “The statewide (precipitation) average was 160 percent of what we normally receive in June, July and August. The skies opened early and did not stop until the first week of September.”

Monsoons following a dry winter usually provide more than 100 percent of the normal precipitation.

The southern part of the state, still suffering under a cloud of smoke from the Wallow Fire in Arizona, typically sees monsoon relief starting in the last 10 days of June, Polasko said. In the north, July 4 is the usual start date. “If we get to July 10 and no monsoons, they’re late,” he said.

While historical statistics favor a better-than-average monsoon season, it is still too soon to say what will happen. “Looking in the crystal ball, we can’t see it coming yet,” Polasko said.

“It is still extremely hazy.”

The weather pattern that usually signals the start of monsoons is nowhere in sight. Sleep said the patter n consists of a highpressure system setting up over eastern Colorado and wester n Kansas. “That tends to bring moisture up from the south,” Sleep said.

Polasko said sometimes the monsoons come through the “back door,” riding on a late cold front.

While monsoons bring needed moisture, they also bring new dangers. Lightning and floods are two of the downsides. Weather services and emergency managers are warning people to be aware of increased risks due to lightning strikes and sudden flash floods.

Meanwhile, it is dry and drier around the Land of Enchantment. Polasko said precipitation gauges around Santa Fe were showing only 16 percent to 21 percent of normal moisture from January through May. “We’re sitting here fidgeting mightily because it has been so dry it boggles the mind,” he said.

Santa Fe’s two municipal reservoirs in the foothills east of the city gained a little inflow last week but

remained at about 44 percent of capacity, compared to 93 percent at this time last year. City water managers were preparing to let a trickle of water bypass the reservoirs and flow down the Santa Fe River, part of an annual resolution approved by Santa Fe officials in efforts to maintain some semblance of a “living river.” The trickle should be visible today in the riverbed, at least down to Camino Alire.

NM Youth ChalleNGe tries to set penny-laying record

Roswell’s Youth ChalleNGe Academy and its supporters lay out a full mile of pennies in a series of looping lines to try to get in the Guinness World Records.

JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy gathered at the Southeast New Mexico Fairgrounds, Thursday, to set a new world record, or, at least, give it a run for its money.

The record they hope to achieve or surpass is the fastest time to lay down a mile of pennies, as listed in Guinness World Records.

The previous recordtime holder goes to the Burnt Hickory Youth Ministry in Marietta, Ga., Aug. 2, 2008, where the children managed to lay down a mile of pennies in 2 hours, 16 minutes and nine seconds.

Sabrina Lara, placement and mentoring coordinator, came up with the idea.

“We actually wanted to do a pet-food drive, and we looked up on the Guinness World Records

to see the record for the most cat and dog food collected,” she said.

They decided the idea was impractical, so Lara scanned other records and decided to challenge the previous record set for the greatest number of pennies laid out in the shortest period of time.

“The rules are, there can be only eight people actively laying out coins,” Lara said.

In the end, Youth ChalleNGe Academy completed the task in 4 hours and 51 minutes.

The Roswell Invaders and the National Guard were there to cheer them on.

Even though they did not make the Guinness World Record’s time, Maj. Alric Pugh plans to challenge other Youth ChalleNGe groups across the nation to match their feat.

“We’ll be in the record books one way or another,” Pugh said.

Once they are finished with the project, the pennies will go back into the bank.

“The bank will give us a check, and the check will be returned to the Foundation’s building fund,” said Pugh.

The total number of pennies needed to make the mile-long line is 84,480, or $844.80.

Lt. Beene said the project was a good one.

“We want to give them a challenge,” Beene said.

“That’s what we try to do, teach them to set goals and try to achieve them.”

Lara said one-fourth of the pennies came from donations from families and friends. The rest were supplied by the Bank of the Southwest. To the best of her knowledge no piggy banks were harmed in this activity.

The police were dispatched to the 1100 block of West College Boulevard, Thursday, in reference to a man bleeding from his chest. They located the victim, who had stab wounds to the neck and the upper right arm. The victim refused to talk to the investigating officer. He was taken to Eastern New Mexico Medical Center where he refused medical treatment.

Embezzlement

Police were called to Tadpoles Day Care, 2205 N. Atkinson Ave., Thursday, for a case of suspected embezzlement. It was reported that six bank deposits were short of cash.

Criminal damage

•Police were sent to the

800 block of Edgewood, Thursday, where a male subject set fire to a motorcycle by inserting something into the gas tank and lighting it. This is the second incident concerning this vehicle.

In the first incident, a subject smashed a headlight and a tail light.

•Police were dispatched to Cattle Barons, 901 S. Main St., Thursday. An employee reported an alar m sounded shortly after midnight on Wednesday. The following day, they discovered that the window on the northeast side of the building was broken.

Burglary

Police were called to the 800 block of Broken Arrow Road, Thursday.

The victim stated that sometime between Tuesday and Wednesday, subjects removed a plastic case, marked Medotech line locator, from the back of a New Mexico Gas pickup. The case and contents are valued at $1,000.

Anyone having information on these or any other crimes should contact Crime Stoppers, 888-594-TIPS (8477).

Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a reward.

Roswell Daily Record

PHOENIX (AP) — Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ staff said Friday that the Arizona congresswoman will visit Tucson for Father’s Day weekend in her first time back to her hometown since she was shot in January.

“We’ve been dreaming of this trip for some time,” Giffords’ astronaut husband, Mark Kelly, said in a news release. “Gabby misses Tucson very much and her doctors have said that returning to her hometown could play an important role in her recovery.”

He said the trip “is sure to be very emotional” and hopes the news media respects their privacy.

Gif fords was released from a Houston hospital Wednesday, five months after being shot in the head during a Tucson political event. She had been in the rehab facility since late January, a few weeks after the shooting that killed six and wounded 13.

Gif fords will make no public appearances and will grant no interviews during her visit to Tucson, spokesman C.J. Karamargin said.

He said Giffords will travel by private plane from Houston to Tucson on Friday with Kelly and one of his daughters, and she’ll

SANTA FE (AP) — Talks aimed at preventing a strike at Santa Fe’s Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center did not lead to a contract extension between the hospital and a labor union.

The Santa Fe New Mexican reports a contract extension would allow managers at Santa Fe’s only general hospital and the union more time to hammer out an agreement before it expires at the end of June.

Union representatives say one major sticking point is the hospital’s reluctance to agree to contract provisions designed to hold the hospital accountable for maintaining certain staffing levels. The hospital’s chief executive says he couldn’t specifically address union claims about short staffing at the hospital. It’s not clear if the talks will continue.

Friday’s article “Community Foundation honors Justus Bowe Jr.” lists a wrong name for Bowe’s wife. Her name is Christine. The Daily Record regrets the error.

Giffords is now living in Kelly’s home in League City, a town 26 miles south of Houston. She will continue outpatient therapy at the same hospital where she underwent rehabilitation.

Giffords, who was shot in the left side of her head and has been struggling to relearn how to speak and walk, will be assisted by a 24-hour home health provider, according to a statement from the hospital.

Dwyer is at least the third Albuquerque officer to be disciplined over comments on social networking websites.

Earlier in the week, police Chief Ray Schultz said he had decided against disciplining Dwyer over his Myspace postings because Dwyer told him they were four years old and he had forgotten he even had the account.

The Twitter postings were dated between May 20 and June 4, police said.

“Obviously, we have some serious problems here,” Schultz said.

Earlier this year, the police department instituted a comprehensive social media policy after inappropriate comments by officers were discovered on different sites.

For example, Trey Economidy, who was involved in a fatal shooting of a suspect earlier this year, has posted on Facebook that his occupation was “human waste disposal.”

Schultz said the department values the right to free speech, but “comments that impair our officer’s ability to perform their duties and brings discredit to the Albuquerque Police Department will not be tolerated.”

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — An Albuquerque police officer who avoided disciplinary action for making comments about killing people on MySpace is now being investigated for sending tweets about pistol whippings and Muslims.

Detective Pete Dwyer is being reassigned to desk duty during an internal investigation, the Albuquerque Journal reported Friday.

The police department discovered the posts on Thursday, the same day the newspaper reported Dwyer would not be disciplined for past posts on MySpace, including “Some people are alive only because killing them is illegal.”

Dwyer’s Twitter postings included a comment that he would pistol-whip the next person he hears saying “imma” instead of “I am going to,” the newspaper reported.

Dwyer also posted that Muslims are like Chinook Salmon: “Life’s great until the SEALS show up.”

A link in another posting led to an image of a Nazi swastika flag emerging from beneath a red, white and blue logo from Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

He could not be reached for comment.

Dear Elena: Feeling safe and secure in your environment is a very important part of everyday life. If, you no longer feel safe without the company of your husband that is an understandable reaction not only to the loss of your loved one. Perhaps a change of enviroment will make you feel better. Retirement communities can provide you with the warm safe feeling that you are missing at this time. Most retirement communities have lighted areas and provide security measures that create a safe environment for you.

Obama admin to end health care waivers GENERAL

Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Removing a potential political distraction ahead of next year’s elections, the Obama administration Friday announced an early end to a health care waiver program that has come under fire from congressional Republicans.

Political considerations were “absolutely not” part of the decision, said Steve Larsen, head of a section of the Health and Human Services department that

LinkedIn

oversees President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Larsen said no new applications for waivers will be considered after Sept.

22. Approvals or renewals received by the deadline will be good through 2013.

Starting in 2014, the main coverage provisions of the health care law will take effect, and such waivers will no longer be needed.

The waivers address a provision of the law that phases out annual dollar

limits on coverage by health insurance plans.

Starting this year, plans could not impose a limit below $750,000. But some plans, of fered mainly to low-income workers, currently provide $50,000 a year in coverage, and in certain cases much less.

Those plans would have been forced to close down or jack up premiums significantly, leaving more people uninsured.

The waivers were estab-

lished to avoid disrupting existing coverage. In 2014, taxpayer-subsidized insurance will be available to most of the people now covered by the affected plans.

Some Republicans charged favoritism in the granting of the waivers, alleging that they were being granted to unions.

But a review this week by the Government Accountability Office found that HHS had approved over 95 percent of the 1,400 waiver

Put a cork in the Internet bubble talk — for now

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — It’s starting to feel like a 1999 flashback. Internet companies — some of them profitable, some not — sense a golden opportunity and are lining up to go public this year.

But here’s something to keep in mind as the latest case of Inter net fever grips Wall Street: It’s still nowhere close to the giddy days of the dot-com boom, when investors bought stocks as impulsively as lottery tickets.

Technology stocks today are the cheapest in more than nine years, at least judging by one benchmark for appraising companies.

This year could yield the most initial public offerings of technology stocks since 2000. But the venture capitalists who bankroll high-tech startups aren’t pouring money into the Internet like they once did. And even rapidly growing Inter net companies LinkedIn Corp. and Pandora Media Inc. have lost some of their luster after dazzling investors when they went public in recent weeks.

All those factors signal that cooler heads are prevailing, especially with the global economy on shaky ground.

So far this year, 28 of the 74 IPOs completed in the U.S. have been by technology companies, according to IPO investment advisory firm Renaissance Capital. If, as expected, another 31 tech IPOs are completed by the end of this year, it will be the most from the sector since 2000.

The growing enthusiasm for Internet services reflects how far the Internet has come since the dot-com boom. An estimated 2 billion people worldwide have Web access now, about eight times as many as in 2000. High-speed Internet connections have become common, turning the Web into an entertainment center as well as an information hub. And mobile devices have made it possible to stay connected from almost anywhere at any time.

“I don’t see a bubble,” venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, best known as founder of the pioneering Web browser Netscape, told The Associated Press in March.

Andreessen has investments scattered all over the Internet, mostly in companies that are steadily increasing their revenue. Some of them are even profitable, virtu-

ally unheard of during the late 1990s. That’s why he thinks it’s logical for more money to be flowing into one of the most promising parts of the U.S. economy.

“I think people are confusing success with a bubble,” Andreessen said.

“Maybe stuff is just working.”

But well-established technology companies, including many that helped build the Internet into what it is today, have fallen out of favor. To gauge just how far, consider the price-to-earnings, or P/E, ratio of technology stocks in the bellwether Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

The P/E number divides a company’s stock price by its earnings per share. The higher the P/E, the more likely a stock is overvalued by the market. Based on earnings reported for the past year, the figure for S&P 500 tech stocks is 14.1, the lowest since March 2002. Before the Great Recession started in December 2007, it was 25.4. Before the Internet bubble blew up, it was 66.4.

Even Google, the Internet’s most profitable company, hasn’t been getting any love of late. Though

its earnings are still rising at a robust rate, the company’s stock has fallen more than $100, or 18 percent, so far this year.

LinkedIn, which runs a site for professional networking, triggered talk of another dot-com boom when its shares more than doubled in its stock market debut. LinkedIn was minted with a market value of $9 billion, the highest for an Internet company since Google went public in 2004.

Then Pandora Media, an Internet radio station, doubled the target price for its IPO because of such intense demand. At the end of its first day of trading Wednesday, Pandora had a market value of $2.8 billion — more than AOL Inc., which had a market value of more than $160 billion in early 2000.

Pandora stock fell below its IPO price of $16 in its second day on the market, suggesting investors were having second thoughts about a company that still hasn’t turned a profit despite building an audience of 94 million. In another indication of sobriety, LinkedIn’s stock has lost more than a quarter of its value since its first day of trading.

applications it received, most of them involving employer plans. The nonpartisan investigative agency also found that the administration used objective standards to make its decisions.

Larsen said Friday that insurance experts have advised his office that most plans that needed waivers probably already applied for them this year. For that reason, the effects of ending the program early

would be negligible.

A conservative policy expert who has been critical of the program wasn’t buying the technical explanation.

“It looks like they finally figured out they were in a public relations hole and decided to stop digging,” said Ed Haislmaier of the Heritage Foundation think tank.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The pictures of a Nebraska nuclear power plant were startling: Floodwaters from the swollen Missouri River had risen nearly to the reactor building, with the potential to climb even higher.

Coming only a few months after Japan’s nuclear disaster, the Associated Press images alarmed many people who saw them earlier this week.

But nuclear regulators and the utility that runs the Fort Calhoun reactor say there is little cause for immediate concern.

The plant, encircled by a giant rubber barrier against the water, has been shut down since April. The Omaha Public Power District says the complex will not be reactivated until the flooding subsides.

And unlike Japan’s infamous Fukushima Dai-ichi facility, the entire plant in Nebraska still has full electrical power for safety systems, including those used to cool radioactive waste. It also has at least nine backup power sources.

The Fort Calhoun complex “is safe and it will continue to be safe throughout this flooding situation,” said Dave Bannister, chief nuclear of ficer for the power district.

A spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reinforced that view.

“We think they’ve done everything that they need to do to respond to the current conditions,” Victor Dricks said.

Flooding remains a concer n all along the river because of the massive amounts of water released by the Army Corps of Engineers.

The river is expected to rise as much as 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in much of Nebraska and Iowa and as much as 10 feet over flood stage in parts of Missouri.

The corps expects the river to remain high at least

into August because of heavy spring rains in the upper Plains and substantial Rocky Mountain snowpack melting into the river basin.

After fielding many worried questions about the plant, utility officials held a news conference Friday to reassure the public.

“We understand the deep responsibility we have in operating a nuclear power plant,” CEO Gary Gates said.

Edwin L yman, a physicist with the Union of Concer ned Scientists, said plants at risk from floodwaters must ensure their electrical supply and coolant pumps are protected.

“There’s no question that flooding can be an extremely serious concern,” Lyman said.

The pumps are a key piece of safety equipment because if pumping systems fail for several days and are not fixed, cooling water could boil away and eventually cause radioactive releases.

Workers at the facility 20 miles north of Omaha are still able to get inside the building without getting wet by using walkways that rise above the water.

The river has risen 1.5 feet higher than Fort Calhoun’s 1,004-foot elevation above sea level, but the water is being held back by a series of protective barriers, including an 8-foot rubber wall outside the reactor building.

Fort Calhoun can be fortified to handle water up to 1,014 feet above sea level, Bannister said.

In another contrast to the March 11 tsunami in Japan, the Missouri River flooding has been predicted for weeks, so there was plenty of time to prepare.

But even if the river had risen in a flash flood, Fort Calhoun’s reactor building is designed to handle water up to 1,007 feet above sea level before any additional floodgates or barriers are added.

OPINION

Bigger budget cuts go to state executive offices

A good number of state department executive offices took a larger percentage budget cut in this year’s legislative session than did the activity the office directs. This sends a good signal; the executives suffer more than the workers.

The insight, presented in the continuing quest for better understanding of what state government does, comes from the Legislative Finance Committee’s “2011 PostReview.”

See Session www.nmlegis.gov/lcs/lfc/lfcfiscal. aspx. The “Reviews describe the actual budget enacted by the Legislature and signed by the governor,” the LFC says.

In the summary of plans for the state’s general fund for the coming budget year, the Public Education Department, whatever it does, is separate from what is called “public school support.”

The department is set to spend $10.7 million during the budget year, FY 12, beginning July 1.

HAROLD MORGAN

NEW MEXICO PROGRESS

That’s a 23 percent drop from the nearly $14 million for FY 11. Public school support gets $2.4 billion, a 2.4 percent increase and by far the largest single activity, in dollar terms, of our state government. Total public school enrollment has been flat for the past five years.

The general fund is state government’s operating fund and accounts for nearly all state spending. The general fund appropriation is $5.4 billion for FY 12.

Another big spending arena, higher education, shows the same pattern. FY 12 budgeted spending for the department itself, $35.9

Roswell Daily Record

million, is down 7.9 percent. Nearly two-thirds of the department’s money — $21.9 million — goes for financial aid. Among the 17 institutions the department tends, the next biggest cut is 7.6 percent for Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque. The New Mexico State University budget is down 4.6 percent, the second largest cut.

Within higher education, athletics eat money. UNM gets $2.3 million; NMSU, $3.1 million; Eastern, $2 million; Highlands, $1.8 million; and Western, $1.7 million.

New Mexico Tech gets $204,000 for athletics, a bit more than the $202,000 allocated for aquifer mapping.

Northern New Mexico College in Española gets $197,000 for athletics. Four community colleges get $829,000, led by New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs with $326,000.

By contrast with athletics, nursing program expansions at eight

schools get a total of $3.5 million.

Priorities, dude, are priorities.

One large-percentage, small-dollar spending cut surely made business types happy, especially those involved in resources. That was the 69 percent, or $90,000, reduction for the Office of Natural Resource’s Trustee. Under the Richardson administration, the office provided well-paid sinecure for radical environmentalists.

A few programs, or at least their money, went away. Balances for the college affordability fund and the economic development revolving fund were moved to the general fund.

The most special special-interest bill mentioned in the report is the expansion, via SB 233, of “the alternative energy manufacturers tax credit to include products secreted by a single cell photosynthetic organism.” Sen. Carroll Leavell, a Jal Republican, brought forth SB 233.

The session’s big accomplishment was to keep public education and Medicaid reasonably whole.

The latter was difficult because of the need to replace $280 of federal funds from FY 11 that won’t appear in FY 12.

Some things weren’t done, with the figurative can again booted ahead. Figuring out how to meet state government’s pension obligations was the big one. The topic is complex, but the base reality is simple. The pension funds lack the money to pay the forecast pensions. Better luck next year.

State government wasn’t reorganized. Probably that doesn’t matter much. What does matter is the 10 percent-plus decline in the number of full-time state employees between December 2008 and December 2010. State government seems to be operating without them, which makes one wonder what they were doing. © New Mexico News Services 2011

National Opinion States try to consolidate agencies

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin spent time during the 2011 legislative session asking lawmakers to approve cost-saving consolidation measures. She wasn’t alone.

A number of governors took the same course this year as they sought to deal with budgets considerably smaller than in years past. As was the case in Oklahoma, results were mixed.

Late in the session, Fallin finally saw three of her proposals get to her desk in the form of approved legislation. One will consolidate the state’s information technology services, another modernizes the state’s vendor payment system and the third places four state agencies under the authority of the state finance director.

Stateline.org says “an unusually large” number of governors, most of them newly elected, have merged agencies or are considering doing so.

In Michigan, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has backed legislation that makes it easier for municipalities to merge.

Nationally, referendums on city-county mergers have only been approved about onefourth of the time in the past 100 years. The last one was in Louisville, Ky., in 2000. But fiscal concerns are forcing state and local officials to explore cost-saving options.

These are only likely to continue. Certainly they should, as efforts to rein in state and local government spending are long overdue.

Default on American debt

There is a dangerous idea gaining hold in the Republican Party that a brief default on American debt could be acceptable if it forces deeper cuts by the White House.

As the Aug. 2 deadline to increase the nation’s $14.3 trillion borrowing limit fast approaches, the idea — once limited to the fringes of the party — is becoming more mainstream.

Establishment Republicans, including former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, are backing a short-term default if it leads to deep, immediate spending cuts.

Jeff Sessions and Paul R yan, the top Republicans on the Senate and House Budget Committees, have also said failure to raise the debt limit would not trigger immediate catastrophe.

Former Minnesota Congressman Vin Weber, a Republican strategist, said the idea that a short-term default would not be a problem “is definitely becoming a mainstream belief.”

The concept of allowing the nation to go into default — even a short-term “technical” one — for the first time in its history is irresponsible.

Republicans and the Obama administration must stop their game of chicken and find compromise that will deeply cut spending, possibly increase tax revenues and, at all costs avoid a default on national financial obligations.

Rather than giving her a booster shot, she received antibiotics and dressings for the wound. A few weeks later, her fist began to clench and she had to place a ball in her hand to keep her nails from digging into her palm. She has severe pain in her arm and recently developed cellulitis. Workers’ compensation delayed treatment, and she is now classified as permanently disabled. Do you have any knowledge in this area that would help her try to regain the use of her arm?

Lizard rally

Dear Editor: This letter is written in response to your editorial which solicited reader comment on the proposal of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to designate the sand dune sagebrush lizard an endangered species.

I went to the Steve Pearce anti-lizard rally at the Roswell Air Center on April 28. The hangar was packed with a few hundred folks, standing on the concrete and cheering for the politicos on stage, who took turns preaching to the choir on the evils and the dangers of lizard worship. From Steve Pearce, whose campaigns are well lubricated by the oil industry, to Roswell Mayor Del Jurney, who sounded like a man looking for votes beyond his city’s limits, they expressed their horror and disbelief.

Environmentalists, those people who would protect the land and waters and preserve the plants, animals, birds and fish, were vilified. A blonde woman did a routine lambasting the Endangered Species Act. Her big joke, which drew cheers, compared environmentalists to watermelons. “Green on the outside and red in the middle.”

Pearce, with his audience suitably fired up, threw them a bombshell. “It’s not about the lizard,” he said, “They are after you and your jobs.”

Having heard enough, I lowered my “Protect Our Lizards” sign and began to leave. One spectator stopped me to explain that God had given dominion over all the animals to man. I got away, and was crossing the parking area when another man called out and came toward me. What now, I wondered. He said, “Thanks for coming out. That was all BS.” John Popham Roswell

Our Books on Wheels program has helped homebound individuals since 1998. This opportunity gives personal contact to someone who isn’t able to come into the library to check out their own books. A volunteer of the Friends will do that for them and then deliver the books and return to pick them up.

Anyone interested in receiving this help may call the library at 622-7101.

For more than 15 years, the Friends of the Library have offered a service of donating condensed Reader’s Digest books to all area hotels and motels.

Recently our two hospitals and area nursing homes have been included to receive these books. The books are for travelers or patients to enjoy. They may take theses books with them when they leave if they have not finished them.

The Friends of the Library continue to give our support to the library through special programs and events.

We sponsor the Summer Reading Program and author visits. Next year we have two well-known authors coming in to help celebrate New Mexico’s 100year anniversary.

We continue to have great success at Books Again, a used book store at 404 West Second Str eet. The stor e is staffed by volunteers of Friends of the Library. Through this endeavor we have been able to give back to this community through donations to the library, Juvenile Detention Center, ENMMC, J.O.Y. Center and Youth ChalleNGe.

TO HONOR OUR FATHERS

When we call God “our Father in heaven” we are honoring both God and our earthly fathers by calling to mind the virtues proper to a good father. A good father is first and foremost someone who loves his wife and his children. He manifests this love by providing materially for them, by protecting them, and by disciplining and teaching his children.

There may be times when he cannot always do these things. Good, hardworking men sometimes lose their jobs through no fault of their own, or find themselves in situations where they cannot protect their families. But even then, a good father will exemplify certain virtues, such as steadfastness or persistence in seeking re-employment, or he will show bravery in the face of danger or uncertainity. A good father will be brave, but never reckless or foolhardy, realizing that his life is precious to his family. A good father will also manifest temperance and moderation in the pursuit of pleasures, thereby teaching his children to enjoy life, but also to delay gratification when necessary. A good father is a model of responsibility and dependability, of loyalty and honor. Our earthly fathers, like our Heavenly Father, are mighty fortresses under whose protection we withstand the torrents of the world’s weather, and yet they are also capable of tenderness and loving kindness.

Thanks are due to God for giving us such loving fathers and also to our fathers for giving us such good examples of the attributes of God. As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him.

Young’s new album ‘A Treasure’

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Neil Young entered the mid’80s under fire from his record label for making music it said it couldn’t sell and under attack from the IRS for having “too much artistic control.”

He was making a rockin’ kind of country music that didn’t resemble his greatest records and his label said didn’t appeal to radio programmers. Those things did not matter to Young, though. He was having the time of his life, playing 85 shows across North America in 1984 and ‘85 with The International Harvesters, and you can hear it on his new live album, “A Treasure.”

“I don’t like boundaries,” Young said in an interview at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum this week. “They don’t really work. They do for some people. It all started when they started formatting radio and separating things into different little areas that they could talk about and then restricting who would play what. That was very counterproductive, when they took the decision-making from the individuals and gave it to the corporate heads. That was destructive to music. But we’re coming back.”

“A Treasure” doesn’t just hold up 26 years later; it fits right in and again shows Young for the pioneer he is.

It arrives at a time when roots music is on the rise and artists like Taylor Swift, whose music and spirit Young says he enjoys, are erasing boundaries that were created decades ago.

Young helped define the folk-rock movement as a solo artist with Crosby, Stills & Nash and with the newly reunited Buffalo Springfield.

With bands like Crazy Horse, he helped push rock ’n’ roll into the 21st century through his influence on artists like Kurt Cobain, Jeff Tweedy and Jim James. And

AP Photo Neil Young performs during the Bridge School Benefit concert in Mountain View, Calif., Oct 24.

his ideas about countryand folk-rock still resonate, in part inspiring a thriving indie scene that feeds such cultural touchstones as Bonnaroo.

Young gathered reporters and some of The Harvesters at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on Monday to talk about the release of “A Treasure.” He said he was exposed to all kinds of music growing up. He got his country from popular Canadian acts like Hank Snow and Ian Tyson and lesser-known acts like Bluegrass Bob & The Bobcats.

“Nobody ever heard of them, but I grew up with them,” Young said. “So that’s always been around.

And I love Jimmy Reed. He’s not country. He’s blues. But I don’t see the difference. I just see real music. So I’ll take a little wherever I can get it.”

And that sometimes

includes present-day country music.

“Yeah, I like Taylor Swift,” Young said. “I like listening to her. I kind of like watching her respond to all the attacks. I like the ways she’s defining herself. So I keep my eye on it.”

Young focused on Nashville early in his career, coming to town in 1971 to record his iconic album “Harvest.” That’s where he met bassist Tim Drummond, who would serve as his tour guide and “architect” for assembling The Harvesters.

Players joining them on tour included the late pedal steel player Ben Keith, keyboardists Spooner Oldham and Hargus “Pig” Robbins, the late Cajun fiddler Rufus Thibodeaux, drummer Karl Himmel, multi-instrumentalist Anthony Crawford and bassist Joe Allen.

TO HONOR OUR FATHERS

When we call God “our Father in heaven” we are honoring both God and our earthly fathers by calling to mind the virtues proper to a good father. A good father is first and foremost someone who loves his wife and his children. He manifests this love by providing materially for them, by protecting them, and by disciplining and teaching his children.

There may be times when he cannot always do these things. Good, hardworking men sometimes lose their jobs through no fault of their own, or find themselves in situations where they cannot protect their families. But even then, a good father will exemplify certain virtues, such as steadfastness or persistence in seeking re-employment, or he will show bravery in the face of danger or uncertainity. A good father will be brave, but never reckless or foolhardy, realizing that his life is precious to his family. A good father will also manifest temperance and moderation in the pursuit of pleasures, thereby teaching his children to enjoy life, but also to delay gratification when necessary. A good father is a model of responsibility and dependability, of loyalty and honor. Our earthly fathers, like our Heavenly Father, are mighty fortresses under whose protection we withstand the torrents of the world’s weather, and yet they are also capable of tenderness and loving kindness.

Thanks are due to God for giving us such loving fathers and also to our fathers for giving us such good examples of the attributes of God. As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear him.

I N VA D E R S UPDATE PUPFISH THUMP INVADERS 10-1 ALAMOGORDO — White Sands’ Chris Nyman allowed one run during a complete-game performance as the Pupfish handed Roswell a 10-1 setback at Griggs Park, Friday.

Nyman gave up nine hits, struck out nine and walked two while going the distance to earn his leagueleading sixth win of the season (6-0). It was his second straight complete game.

He also went 2 for 4 at the plate and scored three runs.

Brycen Bell had a third of the Invaders’ hits with a double and two singles.

Adrian Martinez scored Roswell’s lone run in the sixth on an RBI single by Joey Friedman.

Barry Rooks lasted just 3 2/3 innings and gave up four runs on six hits in a losing debut.

The two squads wrap up a four-game series tonight at 7:05 p.m. in Alamogordo.

NA T I O N A L BRIEFS NBA, PLAYERS CONTINUE NEGOTIATIONS NEW YORK (AP) — NBA owners relaxed their insistence on non-guaranteed contracts in a new collective bargaining agreement Friday, but players cautioned that isn’t enough because the league is still seeking a hard salary cap.

Even so, the proposal by the owners during a 4 1/2hour meeting was perhaps their most significant movement yet as the sides try to agree to a new deal before the current one expires June 30.

“We think it’s significant.

Very significant, actually,” Commissioner David Stern said.

Much more is needed, though. The sides set up another meeting for Tuesday, which Stern indicated would be crucial for determining if enough progress can be made in time to avoid a work stoppage.

“I really think that the time to have an optimistic or pessimistic view is at the close of the day on Tuesday,” Stern said. “I think Tuesday’s a very important day in these negotiations.”

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — In one of those can’t-miss moments in sports, thousands of fans covered every inch of space on the hill behind the 10th green at Congressional. They spilled onto the clubhouse veranda, pressed their faces against the windows and lined up against the balcony railing to watch Rory McIlroy deliver a performance never before seen in the U.S. Open.

“It was Tiger Woods of 11 years ago,” Ian Poulter said.

In some respects, it was even better.

McIlroy, the sympathetic figure at the Masters, was as close to perfect as golf allows Friday during a stunning assault on the record book. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland became the first player in the 111year history of the U.S. Open to reach 13-under par, and despite a double bogey into the water on the final hole, his 5-under 66 was enough set the 36-hole scoring record at 131.

He went 17 holes without missing a green. He went 35 holes without making a bogey.

“It’s very near the best I can play,” McIlroy said. since Woods Not destroyed his competition at Pebble Beach in 2000 for a record 15-shot victory has anyone made golf look this easy, at least for two rounds.

Rory McIlroy hits his tee shot on No. 2 during the second round of the U.S. Open, Friday. McIlroy shot 66 on Saturday to set the 36-hole scoring record at 131. He leads by six shots over Y.E. Yang, who is at 5 under. from 114 yards some 15 feet behind the flag on No. 8, then watched it roll down a slope and into the cup for eagle. The only time he came close to making bogey was on the par -4 11th, when he blasted out of a bunker to 8 feet and made the putt.

He tied the U.S. Open record of 12 under — previously held by Woods in 2000 and Gil Morgan in

1992, both at Pebble Beach — on the par-5 16th with a 4-iron from 223 yards that settled 8 feet from the cup.

“I told him, ‘I don’t think you’ll see a better golf shot,”’ his caddie, J.P. Fitzgerald, said.

Then came the 17th, when McIlroy hit 7-iron from 175 yards that covered the flag, barely cleared the bunker and left him 15 feet below the hole for yet anoth-

er birdie to go to 13 under.

That number just isn’t seen on leaderboards at the U.S. Open.

“It’s crazy, isn’t it?” Steve Stricker. “Pretty incredible what he’s done so far.”

McIlroy knows better than to start the celebration before Sunday. He was buoyed by support coming into the U.S. Open because of the calamity at Augusta National from two months

ago, when he led by four shots going into the final round of the Masters and shot 80, the kind of collapse that isn’t easily forgotten.

“It’s been two very, very good days of golf,” McIlroy said. “I put myself in a great position going into the weekend. But I know more than probably anyone else what can happen. So I’ve

NFL: Reaching a deal not a done deal

NEW YORK (AP) — Reaching a labor deal soon is hardly a done deal in the NFL. Team owners will be updated on recent negotiations with the players when they meet in Chicago on Tuesday. They’ve been told to prepare to stay an extra day because of the complexity of the proposals both sides have discussed in sessions over the last three weeks.

Getting the required 24 of 32 owners to agree on anything can be difficult, let alone something as complex as a new collective bargaining agreement. And there has been enough pushback from owners familiar with those proposals that progress made recently might not lead to an agreement in the next few weeks.

Still, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations, the faction of unhappy owners that exists isn’t yet large enough to derail an agreement. That could lead to some heavy lobbying in Chicago at the first owners’ meeting specif-

ically scheduled to deal with the lockout.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the negotiations are not supposed to be made public, said a new

CBA is not imminent.

Owners, Commissioner Roger Goodell and lead negotiator Jeff Pash have been silent about recent developments, citing an agreement with U.S. Magis-

trate Judge Arthur Boylan not to discuss mediated talks. Players association chief DeMaurice Smith and several players on hand for the negotiations also have avoided comment.

See RORY, Page B3

Earlier this week, Goodell responded to a letter he and Smith received from two Congressmen calling for the NFL to adopt a “thorough testing program for HGH.” Goodell said in his reply dated June 13 that testing for HGH “is a critical element of an effective and credible drug testing program” and the league is insisting on “immediate implementation of HGH testing” in the negotiations.

Whether or not such a provision makes it into the CBA, it’s clear that deadlines are approaching.

Training camps normally would open in about five weeks, and any lengthy delays in striking a deal will endanger them and the preseason. The first preseason game is at the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions; the Bears and Rams are scheduled to play Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio.

AP Photo Jamie McCourt, left, leaves court with her attorney, Dennis Wasser, to speak to the media in Los Angeles, Friday. Jamie and Frank McCourt agreed Friday to have a one-day trial to determine if title to the Los Angeles Dodgers is in Frank McCourt's name or if the team should be considered community property in their divorce.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — To retain ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers, owner Frank McCourt must overcome two formidable obstacles laid out in a binding settlement he and his exwife Jamie reached Friday in their contentious divorce.

Frank McCourt must first receive Major League Baseball’s approval of a 17year television contract with Fox reported to be worth up to $3 billion.

Under the settlement, McCourt would receive $385 million upfront, most of which would be used for Dodger -related expenses.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has given no indication if he would approve the deal, but McCourt said MLB officials have asked him to meet select criteria.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A University of New Mexico football player’s saggy pants led to his arrest and removal from an airplane at San Francisco International Airport, authorities said Thursday.

DeShon Mar man, 20, was boarding a flight Wednesday to Albuquerque, N.M., when a US Airways employee noticed his pants were below his buttocks, and his boxer shorts were showing, Sgt. Michael Rodriguez of the San Francisco Police Department told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Marman refused the employee’s request to pull up his pants and failed to immediately comply when she asked him to get off the plane, Rodriguez said, adding Marman injured a police officer when he was being arrested.

The player was arrested on suspicion of trespassing, battery of a police officer and obstruction of a police investigation, Rodriguez told The Associated Press.

Marman’s mother, Donna Doyle, told the newspaper her son was emotionally fragile after the funeral of his close friend, who died 11 days after being shot.

Marman was being held in San Mateo County Jail while prosecutors determine whether to file charges, Rodriguez said.

US Airways spokeswoman Valerie Wunder said the airline’s dress code forbids indecent exposure or inappropriate attire.

decision to reject the deal would then be “personal” on MLB’s behalf and serves as a springboard for Frank McCourt to sue the league, she added.

In addition to the TV deal, the settlement called for a one-day “characterization” trial Aug. 4 to determine if title to the Dodgers is in Frank McCourt’s name or if the team should be considered community property and sold.

If Jamie McCourt prevails at trial, the team, stadium and surrounding property — worth hundreds of millions of dollars — would be split between the former couple and “be sold by the parties in an orderly manner under the court’s supervision,” according to the settlement.

If the Dodger assets are deemed to belong to Frank McCourt, he would give his ex-wife $100 million and she would retain six luxurious homes. He also will continue to pay monthly spousal support up to $650,000, the agreement said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A University of New Mexico football player’s saggy pants led to his arrest and removal from an airplane at San Francisco International Airport, authorities said Thursday.

DeShon Mar man, 20, was boarding a flight Wednesday to Albuquerque, N.M., when a US Airways employee noticed his pants were below his buttocks, and his boxer shorts were showing, Sgt. Michael Rodriguez of the San Police Francisco Department told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Marman refused the employee’s request to pull up his pants and failed to immediately comply when she

We had late-night talks and, one night, had a dinner at a local diner with a live band. Staying at a house is a nice change of pace from a hotel and it allows you to meet new people. As for the golf, I had my best finish of the year so far with rounds of 69-69-70-70, which led to a tie for 19th. My putter was the difference for me this week. The previous week, it had been a struggle, but this week (after a few tips from my husband), I was able to hole more putts and contend in the tournament.

Labor

Continued from Page B1

NEW YORK (AP) — Reaching a labor deal soon is hardly a done deal in the NFL. Team owners will be updated on recent negotiations with the players when they meet in Chicago on Tuesday. They’ve been told to prepare to stay an extra day because of the complexity of the proposals both sides have discussed in sessions over the last three weeks.

Getting the required 24 of 32 owners to agree on anything can be difficult, let alone something as complex as a new collective bargaining agreement. And there has been enough pushback from owners familiar with those proposals that progress made recently might not lead to an agreement in the next few weeks.

has anyone made golf look this easy, at least for two rounds.

As if playing under complete control were not enough, McIlroy hit a wedge from 114 yards some 15 feet behind the flag on No. 8, then watched it roll down a slope and isn’t yet large enough to derail an agreement. That could lead to some heavy lobbying in Chicago at the first owners’ meeting specifically scheduled to deal with the lockout.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the negotiations are not supposed to be made public, said a new CBA is not imminent.

Owners, Commissioner Roger Goodell and lead negotiator Jeff Pash have been silent about recent developments, citing an agreement with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan not to discuss mediated talks. Players association chief DeMaurice Smith and several players on hand for the negotiations also have avoided comment.

Earlier this week, Goodell responded to a letter he and Smith received from two Congressmen calling for the NFL to adopt a “thorough testing program for HGH.” Goodell said in his reply dated June 13 that testing for HGH “is a critical element of an effective and Greg Chalmers . . . . . . . . . .76-73 Alex Cejka . . . . . . . . . . . . . .75-74 Jim Furyk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .74-75 Scott Barr . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .75-75 Miguel Angel Jimenez . . . . .77-73 Ryan Moore . . . . . . . . . . . . .73-77 Nicolas Colsaerts . . . . . . . . .76-74 Fred Funk . . . . . . . . . . . . . .75-75 Angel Cabrera . . . . . . . . . . .71-79 K.J.

My first tournament was the ShopRite in Atlantic City, N.J. For those who are unfamiliar with Atlantic City, it’s most famous for being the inspiration for the properties from the game “Monopoly,” a fun fact we learned while there.

I was really looking forward to this tournament because my husband, Martin, was going to be spending the week with me. Not only was he present at the tournament, but he was also present inside the ropes as my

McCourts Continued from Page B1

LOS ANGELES (AP) — To retain ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers, owner Frank McCourt must overcome two formidable obstacles laid out in a binding settlement he and his exwife Jamie reached Friday in their contentious divorce.

Frank McCourt must first receive Major League Baseball’s approval of a 17year television contract with Fox reported to be worth up to $3 billion.

Under the settlement, McCourt would receive $385 million upfront, most of which would be used for Dodger -related expenses.

Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig has given no indication if he would approve the deal, but McCourt said MLB officials have asked him to meet select criteria.

“Baseball has been very clear,” McCourt said outside court. “They wanted to

caddy for the week. If it were up to me, I would have him caddy every week.

Unfortunately, he has his own job to tend to most of the time.

One of the difficult things in golf is to take a long break and come back in top form. Golf is a momentum sport and it’s difficult to create momentum when you aren’t playing. Despite the break, I was able to get off to a strong start in the tournament and was in the top 10 after Day 1. However, I struggled in the second round with my putting and was never able to create any momentum. I capped of f the tour nament by

Congressional. They spilled onto the clubhouse veranda, pressed their faces against the windows and lined up against the balcony railing to watch Rory McIlroy deliver a performance never before seen in the U.S. Open.

“It was Tiger Woods of 11 see this divorce settled, and all this white noise gone, or they wanted Jamie’s consent for the Fox transaction or they wanted a judge to give them an order to move forward. Today we have achieved all three.”

MLB spokesman Pat Courtney declined comment. Dennis Wasser, an for Jamie attor ney McCourt, hopes the TV deal will be finalized early next week. If MLB doesn’t approve the TV transaction, the settlement is null and void.

“I am just hoping for resolution, and I hope this is a step in that resolution,” Jamie McCourt said.

Some observers said the settlement gives Frank McCourt the legal firepower he needs to get MLB to sign off on the TV transaction.

“There are now no impediments and if the TV deal isn’t approved, it’s for other reasons than what (MLB) has stated before,” said Los Angeles family law attor ney Lisa Helfend Meyer, who is not involved in the McCourts’ case. The (Pelfrey 3-5), 5:10 p.m.

GERINA’S JOURNEY

shooting rounds of 70-7571 for a tied-for-45th finish. The course fit my eye, but the Poa Annua greens were a challenge for me.

They can be inconsistent at times and, if you don’t have lots of experience on them, they can give you quite the headache.

After New Jersey, I took

the big steel bird down to Springfield, Ill., a place where Abraham Lincoln resided for more than 30 years, for the State Farm LPGA Classic.

This week, I stayed with a host family as opposed to a hotel room. My host was the sweetest 78-year -old woman I’ve ever met. I

years ago,” Ian Poulter said.

In some respects, it was even better.

McIlroy, the sympathetic figure at the Masters, was as close to perfect as golf allows Friday during a stunning assault on the record book. The 22-year-

old from Northern Ireland became the first player in the 111-year history of the U.S. Open to reach 13under par, and despite a double bogey into the water on the final hole, his 5under 66 was enough set the 36-hole scoring record at 131.

decision to reject the deal would then be “personal” on MLB’s behalf and serves as a springboard for Frank McCourt to sue the league, she added.

In addition to the TV deal, the settlement called for a one-day “characterization” trial Aug. 4 to determine if title to the Dodgers is in Frank McCourt’s name or if the team should be considered community property and sold.

If Jamie McCourt prevails at trial, the team, stadium and surrounding property — worth hundreds of millions of dollars — would be split between the former couple and “be sold by the parties in an orderly manner under the court’s supervision,” according to the settlement.

If the Dodger assets are deemed to belong to Frank McCourt, he would give his ex-wife $100 million and she would retain six luxurious homes. He also will continue to pay monthly spousal support up to $650,000, the agreement said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A University of New Mexico football player’s saggy pants led to his arrest and removal from an airplane at San Francisco International Airport, authorities said Thursday.

DeShon Mar man, 20, was boarding a flight Wednesday to Albuquerque, N.M., when a US Airways employee noticed his pants were below his buttocks, and his boxer shorts were showing, Sgt. Michael Rodriguez of the San Police Francisco Department told the San Francisco Chronicle.

Marman refused the employee’s request to pull up his pants and failed to immediately comply when she

thoroughly enjoyed her company and hospitality.

We had late-night talks and, one night, had a dinner at a local diner with a live band. Staying at a house is a nice change of pace from a hotel and it allows you to meet new people. As for the golf, I had my best finish of the year so far with rounds of 69-69-70-70, which led to a tie for 19th. My putter was the difference for me this week. The previous week, it had been a struggle, but this week (after a few tips from my husband), I was able to hole more putts and contend in the tournament.

Labor

Continued from Page B1

NEW YORK (AP) — Reaching a labor deal soon is hardly a done deal in the NFL. Team owners will be updated on recent negotiations with the players when they meet in Chicago on Tuesday. They’ve been told to prepare to stay an extra day because of the complexity of the proposals both sides have discussed in sessions over the last three weeks.

Getting the required 24 of 32 owners to agree on anything can be difficult, let alone something as complex as a new collective bargaining agreement. And there has been enough pushback from owners familiar with those proposals that progress made recently might not lead to an agreement in the next few weeks.

that week and my place on the money list, I found out that I qualified for the British Open in Scotland at the end of July! I’m extremely pumped as this will be my first time overseas.

I will be leaving on Sunday for the Wegman’s LPGA Championship in Rochester, N.Y. This is my first major championship ever. I look forward to carrying over my confidence from last week and sharing my adventures with y’all again real soon.

Thanks so much for taking the time to follow me.

has anyone made golf look this easy, at least for two rounds.

As if playing under complete control were not enough, McIlroy hit a wedge from 114 yards some 15 feet behind the flag on No. 8, then watched it roll down a slope and isn’t yet large enough to derail an agreement. That could lead to some heavy lobbying in Chicago at the first owners’ meeting specifically scheduled to deal with the lockout.

The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because details of the negotiations are not supposed to be made public, said a new CBA is not imminent.

Owners, Commissioner Roger Goodell and lead negotiator Jeff Pash have been silent about recent developments, citing an agreement with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan not to discuss mediated talks. Players association chief DeMaurice Smith and several players on hand for the negotiations also have avoided comment.

Earlier this week, Goodell responded to a letter he and Smith received from two Congressmen calling for the NFL to adopt a “thorough testing program for HGH.” Goodell said in his reply dated June 13 that testing for HGH “is a critical element of an effective and Greg Chalmers . . . . . . . . . .76-73 Alex Cejka . . . . . . . . . . . . . .75-74 Jim Furyk . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .74-75 Scott Barr . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .75-75 Miguel Angel Jimenez . . . . .77-73 Ryan Moore . . . . . . . . . . . . .73-77 Nicolas Colsaerts . . . . . . . . .76-74 Fred Funk . . . . . . . . . . . . . .75-75 Angel Cabrera . . . . . . . . . . .71-79 K.J.
