Tax defeat could trigger new recession

Vol. 119, No. 294 50¢ Daily / $1 Sunday

WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising the direst alarm yet, the Obama administration warned fellow Democrats on Wednesday that if they defeat the big tax-cut compromise detested by many liberals, they could jolt the nation back into recession.

President Barack Obama appealed anew for Congress to “get this done” and insisted that more congressional Democrats would climb aboard as they studied details of the $900 billion year -end measure.

Several did announce support on Wednesday, but at least one said there still was “a mood to resist.”

One Democratic opponent, Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts, forecast a result that would abruptly reverse Congress’ voting patter n of the first two

Larry Summers, Obama’s chief economic adviser, told reporters that if the measure isn’t passed soon, it will “materially increase the risk the economy would stall out and we would have a double-dip” recession. That put the White House in the unusual position of war ning its own party’s lawmakers they could be to blame for calamitous consequences if they go against the president.

With many House and Senate Republicans signaling their approval of the tax cut plan, the White House’s comments were aimed mainly at House Democrats

who feel Obama went too far in yielding to Republicans’ demands for continued income tax cuts and lower estate taxes for the wealthy.

Obama says the compromise was necessary because Republicans were prepared to let everyone’s taxes rise and to block the extension of unemployment benefits for jobless Americans if they didn’t get much of what they wanted.

Economists say the recent recession officially ended in June 2009. But with unemployment at 9.8 percent, millions remain out of work or fear ful of losing ground economically, and the notion of the nation falling back into a recession would strike many as chilling. It also could rattle markets and investors.

The deal Obama crafted with Senate Republican leaders would prevent the scheduled Dec. 31 expiration of all the Bush administration’s tax cuts enacted in 2001 and 2003, even though Obama had often promised to end the cuts for the highest earners.

Summers’ remarks contrasted with Obama’s comments at a news conference Tuesday. “We don’t have the danger of a double-dip recession,” the president said then, noting the impact of the 2009 stimulus bill and other measures meant to steady the economy.

Obama again urged unhappy Democrats to swallow the compromise, and denied that he went overboard to appease Republicans. “I think it is inaccurate to characterize

Kindermusik performs at La Villa EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The children of Kindermusik spread Christmas cheer to the residents of La Villa by performing a holiday recital on Wednesday afternoon. Kindermusik is a music and movement program for infants and toddlers.

Dressed up in holiday garb, the kids danced around a Christmas tree in the community home’s living room, singing carols like “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.”

“They are all wonderful,” Beatrice Leshnov, 90, a La Villa resident, said.

Leshnov used to be a professional jitterbug dancer with her husband of 70 years, George, who is also a La Villa resident.

“I think the children are having a great time,” George said, sitting next to his wife.

Parents in the audience took pictures of their children and grandchildren as they rang Christmas bells and blew bubbles.

“It’s just so much fun for them to come and sing songs,” Jane Vander Dussen, who snapped photographs of her 2-year-old

The goal of the recital was to share joy with the elderly, according to Kindermusik instructor Wendolyn

Davis.

There will be a holidayrelated event for the residents almost every day in December, La Villa’s activity director Angie Luevano said.

“We’re having dancers, singers, piano players and the Berrendo Elementary School children singing carols,” Luevano said. “This month is busy, busy.”

Three straight days of multi-pronged White House efforts to weaken Democrats’ resistance did appear to start having the desired effect.

Paul Sanchez, of the Game and Fish Department, prepares to release thousands of trout into Dexter's Lake Van.

SANTA FE, (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will visit North Korea next week at the invitation of the Pyongyang regime, the governor’s office said Wednesday.

Richardson will leave New Mexico on Tuesday and return Dec. 20, according to Gilbert Gallegos, a spokesman for the governor.

The trip comes at a time of heightened tensions, two weeks after North Korea shelled a South Korean island.

“I am increasingly concerned with the recent

actions by the North Koreans, which have raised tensions and are contributing to instability on the Korean Peninsula,” Richardson said in a statement.

The Democratic governor, who leaves office Dec. 31, was invited to visit North Korea by Kim Gye Gwan, the country’s chief nuclear negotiator, according to Gallegos.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Richardson will not carry any message from the U.S. government.

Richardson acknowl-

edged that but said, “If I can contribute to the easing of tension on the peninsula, the trip will be well worth it.”

Accompanying Richardson will be his senior adviser on Asian affairs, K.A. “Tony” Namkung.

Richardson has traveled to North Korea seven times, most recently in 2007 to recover the remains of American servicemen killed in the Korean War. He also has met in New Mexico with North Korean diplomats three times since 2003, when he became governor.

Tabernacle Baptist Church to perform musical JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

This weekend, Tabernacle Baptist Church will present “Richest Family in Town,” a musical written by prominent Baptist song composer Frank Garlock.

Performances will run on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Set in the 1940s, the musical focuses on a family that celebrates Christmas in a non traditional

way, while coping without the economic effects of the Great Depression.

“It’s going to show that without Christ, you can be rich in nothing,” Jason Perry, minister of music and education at Tabernacle Baptist, said.

Perry said that the play will help people “get back to the reality of what Christmas is all about.”

“We’ve gotten so materialized with gift giving and spending...we’ve really have lost what [Christmas] was intended for,” Perry

said. “The central message [of the play] is ‘it doesn’t take money to have a great Christmas.”

According to Perry, the musical’s cast and crew, of about 50, has been rehearsing since September. Perry expects performances to bring audiences to laughter and tears.

“The audience will find them[selves] getting emotionally involved...as if they are part of the family before it’s over,” Perry said.

News in brief: Salvation Army kettles strike gold

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — The Salvation Army red kettles are coming up golden in Indiana.

The charity says anonymous donors have left gold coins in kettles in Mishawaka and Kokomo this Christmas season.

The South Bend Tribune reports that someone dropped a 1-ounce U.S. gold coin worth $1,400 in a kettle outside a Sam’s Club in Mishawaka. The coin was wrapped in a $100 bill and a small note thanking the organization for “doing God’s work.”

The Kokomo T ribune reports that another donor dropped a South African Krugerrand worth more than $1,400 in a kettle at Markland Mall in Kokomo.

The Salvation Army also has received four gold coins in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs.

Despite the gold coin donations, officials in South Bend and Kokomo say donations are running behind expectations.

What’s on Congress’ playlist — ‘Mayday’?

‘Liar’?

DENVER (AP) — What should lawmakers load on their iPods to get them through the lame duck session of Congress — “Pay for What You Get,” by the Dave Matthews Band? “Mayday!!!” by the Flobots?

Colorado Sen. Mark Udall asked for suggestions on his website this week. With so much work to do, Udall says in an e-mail to The Associated Press, “we decided to get constituents to write in and suggest songs to ’set the tone.”’

Udall, a Democrat, says the Beatles’ “We Can Work It Out” captured his fancy.

Other nominations run from the cynical to the idealistic, from “Liar” by Three Dog Night to “Still Unbroken” by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

In a possibly hopeful sign, no one appears to have suggested Cee Lo Green’s Grammy-nominated “(Expletive) You.”

Wis. man picks wrong number for alleged drug sale

MUSKEGO, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin case shows why it’s a good idea to check the phone number if you’re texting a drug offer.

A 19-year -old Muskego man was arrested Sunday after a 10-year -old boy received a wrong-number text message asking, “You want to buy some hash?”

It turns out the boy’s grandfather is a Wisconsin state trooper, and the boy was at his grandfather’s home when the message arrived.

The boy didn’t know what the message meant. But the grandfather did, so he called a colleague who with on-duty troopers sent back messages to arrange a buy.

When no one showed up for the deal, the man left.

Troopers arrested him, seizing a bag with 5 grams of hash.

Three Oregon deer attack and injure barking dog

BEND, Ore. (AP) — A Bend, Ore., woman says three deer attacked her barking dog and left the pet with head wounds and a punctured chest, but she’s expected to make a full recovery.

Tiffany Rounds says she often sees deer in central

Oregon but never had them in her backyard before Thursday. Her small dog, Daisy, clearly thought it was inappropriate and went flying out the door, barking.

Rounds told KTVZ on Monday that the six-point buck and two does started beating the dog with their hooves and then the buck tried to get her with his anglers.

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist Steven George says even if it’s a domesticated dog, deer react to a predator that could hurt or even kill them, so they’ll be defensive.

Whipped cream truck crashes outside man’s LA home

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mark Leon lives in a sweet spot for big rigs in Los Angeles County.

Nine years after a truck hauling chocolate syrup crashed into his mobile home park, another rig hauling 36,000 pounds of whipped cream and sour cream crashed Tuesday just feet from his house.

Authorities say the truck, driven by an unlicensed 16year-old, was stopped by a stand of trees and a chainlink fence just off Interstate 210. Three people had minor injuries.

The California Highway Patrol says the 16-year-old fell asleep and lost control of the big rig that toppled down an embankment.

Investigators say the teen’s 20-year-old brother got tired and asked for driving help. Two cousins, ages 3 and 13, were also in the truck

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The state Supreme Court has upheld the conviction of a Farmington foster parent for the death of a 2year-old boy in his care.

Michael Wilson was sentenced to life in prison for child abuse resulting in death.

Wilson had confessed to police that he suffocated Tyler Westbook in 2007, but he contended the confession was improperly used as evidence in his trial. The confession occurred during a police interview several days after Wilson began taking an anti-psychotic medication for depression.

The Supreme Court rejected Wilson’s appeal in an unanimous decision issued Wednesday.

Bill to help some illegal immigrants may be doomed WASHINGTON (AP) — The House passed legislation Wednesday to give hundreds of thousands of foreign-bor n youngsters brought to the country illegally a shot at legal status, a fleeting victory for an effort that appears doomed in the Senate.

The so-called Dream Act, which passed the House 216-198, has been viewed

by Hispanic activists and immigrant advocates as a downpayment on what they had hoped would be broader action by President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress to give the nation’s 10 million to 12 million undocumented immigrants a chance to gain legal status.

Critics railed against the measure, calling it a backdoor grant of amnesty that would encourage more foreigners to sneak into the United States in hopes of being legalized eventually.

The Senate is expected Thursday to vote on whether to advance similar legislation, but it’s unlikely Democrats can muster the 60 votes needed to advance it past opposition by Republicans and a handful of their own members.

“It’s an uphill struggle,” Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Democrat, acknowledged.

Debate on the measure was fraught with politics.

Obama has made an intense public push in recent days in favor of the

measure, eager to demonstrate his commitment to Hispanic voters, a key voting bloc that’s been alienated by his failure to push broader immigration legislation.

With the GOP taking control of the House and representing a stronger minority in the Senate next year, failure to enact the legislation by year’s end dims the prospects for action by Congress to grant a path toward legalization for the nation’s millions of undocumented immigrants.

Tamar Jacoby of ImmigrationWorks USA, a proimmigration employers coalition, said the defeat won’t end Congress’ attempts to address the issue but predicted that future legislation will look far different. “Anything that they’re going to do is going to disappoint comprehensive immigration refor m advocates,” Jacoby said.

“It’s going to be a tough haul” to tackle the subject in the new Congress.

After the House vote, Obama issued a statement pledging to move forward on immigration reform and casting the Dream Act as a way of correcting what he called “one of the most egregious flaws of a badly broken immigration system.”

“This vote is not only the right thing to do for a group of talented young people who seek to serve a country they know as their own by

continuing their education or serving in the military, but it is the right thing for the United States of America,” Obama said. “We are enriched by their talents and the success of their efforts will contribute to our nation’s success and security.”

Obama’s drive to enact the legislation and congressional Democrats’ determination to vote on it before year’s end reflect the party’s ef forts to satisfy Hispanic groups whose backing has been critical in elections and will be again in 2012.

The legislation would give hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants brought to the United States before the age of 16, and who have been here for five years and graduated from high school or gained an equivalency degree, a chance to gain legal status if they joined the military or attended college.

Hispanic activists have described the Dream Act as the least Congress can do on the issue. It targets the most sympathetic of the millions of undocumented people — those brought to the United States as children, who in many cases consider themselves American, speak English and have no ties to or family living in their native countries.

Edwards had prepared for death

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — For years, Elizabeth Edwards prepared her family for the day she would be gone, talking bluntly about the cancer consuming her body and writing a letter to leave for her children with life advice on topics such as how to pick a church — or even a spouse.

The preparation continued in her final days, when she made sure Christmas decorations were up in their Chapel Hill home and became the source of comfort to those closest to her.

“That was sort of who she was. She was always, always the shoulder to lean on,” said family friend John Moylan. “And, even at the end, she remained a very strong person. I think they all took their strength from her.”

Edwards, 61, died Tuesday from cancer — six years after she was diagnosed the day after the 2004 election when her husband John was a vice presidential candidate.

Since her cancer returned in an incurable form in 2007, Edwards had talked openly about the expectation that the disease would take her life before long. She had hoped to live several more years, enough time to see her youngest child, 10-year -old Jack, graduate from high school and possibly see the oldest, 28-year -old Cate, have a

child of her own.

But Edwards also said over the years that she was talking directly with the kids about death. Meanwhile, she had been penning a letter that her children could use as guidance for their lives ahead. It was an idea she came up with two decades ago after watching the movie “Terms of Endearment,” in which the mother knew she was dying and gave advice to her children.

David “Mudcat” Saunders, a political adviser and Edwards family friend, said the two youngest children appeared to be coping well with the loss. He said the home, while consumed with sadness, also has a feeling of celebration as family and friends remembered stories of Elizabeth Edwards’ life.

In part, he said, that was because of her never-lookback attitude.

“I think that spirit of Elizabeth is so branded in Emma Claire, Jack and Cate, that the kids will be fine,” Saunders said.

In her final days of rapidly declining health, Saunders relayed a story about how Jack had jumped onto the bed with his mother to say that he loved her. She smiled at him and said, “I love you too, sweetie,” Saunders said.

John Edwards was at her side around the clock. He was deeply upset by his

wife’s death, Saunders said, but is also focused on attending to the children.

He recalled asking Edwards what he planned to do now, to which the former North Carolina senator vowed simply: “I’m going to be the greatest father there ever was.”

Added Moylan: “His full focus is on those children.”

Three decades after the law school sweethearts married, Elizabeth Edwards separated from her husband about a year ago following his affair and after learning that he fathered a child with his mistress during his second campaign for the White House. He still faces a federal investigation into campaign finances.

A family friend said Wednesday that Elizabeth Edwards will be honored Saturday at Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh. The friend spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details of the plans have yet to be announced by the family.

The public is allowed to attend the event, set to begin at 1 p.m. The family is still working on burial plans.

Mourners were asked to make donations to the Wade Edwards Foundation, which was created in honor of Edwards’ son who died in a car crash at age 16.

OPINION

Forget deficits, debt. It’s time for a family movie

Nothing like Christmas to test our fragile American psyches.

While times remain hard for millions of us, stores have amped up the gift-giving hype because, well, they’ve been hit by hard times, too. What better way to make up for a hard year than by sending us the message that if we really, really care for someone ... kaching! Guilt makes the sales soar, si?

This season’s not for amateurs.

We wrap up more than gifts; we wrap up our year. We might stare at our Christmas tree and find big empty spaces. We might sit for our holiday dinner and find more empty spaces – loved ones away or maybe gone forever.

Like I said, it’s not for amateurs.

Still, I love this season. I love Christmas. I’m a Christian. That helps, but it’s not necessary. And I don’t mean to minimize my faith or the faith of more than a billion others, but Christmas offers, if

JEFFRY GARDNER RIGHT

FOR A

REASON

we’ll accept it, something we each deserve – a respite; a time-out where we can quiet the chatter in our heads and hearts. So I’m offering this simple phrase to kids from one to 92: Check your troubles at the door and check out one of “My 10 Fave Holiday Flicks.”

No. 10: “Scrooged,” Bill Murray, 1988. Most every Christmas movie anymore either retells “A Christmas Carol,” or “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Scrooged, obviously, fits the former, and I’m fairly certain this is the only list on which you’ll ever find this little gem.

Roswell Daily Record

Few things scream “love Christmas!” like the Ghost of Christmas Present, played by the wonderful Carol Kane, banging Murray in the head with a frying pan.

No. 9: “Miracle on 34th Street,” Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott, Richard Attenborough, Mara Wilson, 1994. The late John Hughes’ remake changed little of the 1947 original. The opening scene says it all: dogs and children know who Santa is. Tru dat.

Perkins is no Maureen O’Hara, but really, who is?

No. 8: “A Christmas Story,” Darren McGavin, Melinda Dillon, Peter Billingsley, 1983. The Red Ryder BB-gun movie. Billingsley’s precocious. I’m not a precocious fan, but McGavin was a cynical dad’s dad. I love cynical Christmas-loving dads.

No. 7: “A Christmas Carol,” George C. Scott, 1984. You and I know you don’t win a war by dying for your country; you make

the other son-of-a--, er, wait.

That’s Scott as Patton. Brilliant.

The final for-profit frontier

There’s a chance that the first launch into orbit of a privately owned spaceship, which could be attempted this week, will fail. If it does, however, another launch will succeed, and the transition of space travel from a strictly government endeavor to one dominated by private companies will have advanced an important step. It is a welcome step for those who understand that commercialization of space travel is essential to bringing on a time when ordinary human beings, not just the super-rich, can venture into space.

The Space Exploration Technologies Corp, or SpaceX, headquartered in Hawthorne, Calif., is scheduled to launch its Dragon capsule, designed with the idea of being adapted to carry people, into orbit.

Founded in 2002 by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, SpaceX has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to conduct 12 resupply missions to the International Space Station after the announced end of flights of NASA’s space shuttle. Another company, Orbital Sciences Corp., has a similar contract.

Spaceships designed by aviation pioneer Burt Rutan for entrepreneur Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic have achieved suborbital flights and are scheduled to offer individuals flights just beyond the edge of Earth’s atmosphere. Space tourism will be the province of the wealthy at first, but innovation, competition and amortization of development costs are expected to bring the price down over time. Other space tourism companies have plans that could include orbiting space hotels.

Mr. Musk is said to have put $100 million into the company. He recently raised $50 million more from investors. The company has several contracts involving its two rockets, Falcon 1 and Falcon 9, and plans to develop vehicles for launching even heavier loads and, eventually, cutting the cost of such trips by a factor of 10. The Falcon 9, which will carry the Dragon capsule into orbit, was successfully tested in June.

Nobody knows where space exploration will go from here — Mr. Musk hopes to do manned missions to Mars eventually — but the involvement of the private sector is the crucial factor. Like any monopoly, the government monopoly on space exploration led to overpriced and inefficient efforts. Now the future looks exciting again.

The vindication of lawyer Chuck Cooper

For Charles Cooper, chief litigator for Proposition 8, the ultimate vindication will come when five U.S. Supreme Court justices overturn U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker’s decision. Judge Walker is the San Francisco judge who took it upon himself to rule that 7 million Californians had no right to vote for Prop 8 — gay marriage, he ruled, is required by the U.S. Constitution.

Chuck Cooper 1, Ted Olson 0. That’s the only score Cooper cares about.

While Ted Olson and David Boies bask in the glow from fawning media, Cooper has kept a much lower profile.

But on Monday in San Francisco, he received at least a partial vindication of a controversial decision to not present more expert witnesses in Judge Walker’s kangaroo court.

For it tur ns out that the expensive, prolonged and totally unnecessary trial

imposed on proponents of Prop 8 by Judge Walker really was ultimately just a show trial — irrelevant to the issues that will genuinely decide this case.

At the oral arguments before a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, Ted Olson and David Boies tried to restrict the rights of these three judges to review the evidence and to decide on the merits of the case. But the appeals court judges are Judge Walker’s bosses, and it was clear that the suggestion that they had no authority to review his decision did not sit

well.

During oral arguments even the two liberal judges brushed aside Olson’s and Boies’ assertions that the judges had to abide by Judge Walker’s socalled scientific “findings of fact” from the trial, like they were intellectual gnats. “What is marriage?” and “Children need a mom and a dad?” are what judges call “legislative facts,” not issues that can be decided at trial.

The most amusing moment was watching appellate judges Stephen Reinhardt and Michael Hawkins get Boies to

It was Boies and Olson who asked Judge Walker to issue an injunction against only Alameda and Los Angeles county clerks — to keep the Imperial County and other clerks from having standing to challenge the law. No other defendant has standing, Boies claimed.

There are several forums online of parents discussing the various odors their children emit. Most seem to say the children outgrow it, or that their pediatricians say the malady is caused by early glandular development and is otherwise harmless. Some have determined it is caused by diet. Rarely, some were told it is the result of thyroid malfunctioning.

Your son’s onion-smelling breath and body odor are probably not a sign of illness; however, to be on the safe side, take your son to his pediatrician for a complete exam and blood work. Perhaps a referral to an endocrinologist will be helpful. In the interim, try to manage the situation as best you can.

Institute, which studies the origins, evolution and possibilities of life in the universe. “I think anybody looking at this evidence is going to say, ’There’s got to be life out there.”’

A caveat: Since much of this research is new, scientists are still debating how solid the conclusions are. Some scientists this week have publicly criticized how NASA’s arsenic-using microbe study was conducted, questioning its validity.

Another reason not to get too excited is that the search for life starts small — microscopically small — and then looks to evolution for more. The first signs of life elsewhere are more likely to be closer to slime mold than to ET. It can evolve from there.

Scientists have an equation that calculates the odds of civilized life on another planet. But much of it includes factors that are pure guesswork on less-than-astronomical factors, such as the likelihood of the evolution of intelligence and how long civilizations last. Stripped to its simplistic core — with the requirement for intelligence and civilization removed — the calculations hinge on two basic factors: How many places out there can support life? And how hard is it for life to take root?

What last week’s findings did was both increase the number of potential homes for life and broaden the definition of what life is. That means the probability for alien life is higher than ever before, agree 10 scientists interviewed by The Associated Press.

Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute in California, ticks off the astronomical findings about planet abundance and Earthbound discoveries about life’s hardiness. “All of these have gone in the direction of encouraging life out there and they didn’t have to.”

Two new studies published online Wednesday in the journal “Nature” add to the interest in weird planets outside our solar system, though they don’t exactly make a stronger case for life. One study found a super-hot planet much bigger than Jupiter that seems to be full of carbon in its atmosphere. In the other study, astronomers found a star with at least four large young planets, challenging past assumptions that there’s a limit to how many huge planets a star system could have.

GENERAL dramatic departure from recent battles, such as the health care overhaul, which was enacted with virtually no GOP support in either chamber.

Pelosi and other House Democratic leaders continued to remain outwardly neutral to the tax cut compromise, criticizing some aspects but stopping short of urging or predicting its demise.

For a second straight day Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden traveled to the Capitol to meet privately with Democrats — this time in the House, after visiting senators on Tuesday. Aides distributed Scientists who looked for life were once dismissed as working on the fringes of science. Now, Shostak said, it’s the other way around. He said that given the mounting evidence, to believe now that Earth is the only place harboring life is essentially like believing in miracles.

“And astronomers tend not to believe in miracles.”

Astronomers, however, do believe in proof. They don’t have proof of life yet. There’s no green alien or even a bacterium that scientists can point to and say it’s alive and alien. Even that arsenicmunching microbe discovered in Mono Lake in Califor nia isn’t truly alien. It was manipulated in the lab.

But, says NASA astrobiologist Chris McKay, who has worked on searches for life on Mars and extreme places on Earth, “There are real things we can point to and show that being optimistic about life elsewhere is not silly.”

First, there’s the basic question of where such life might exist. Until a few years ago, astronomers thought life was only likely to be found on or around planets circling stars like our sun. So that’s where the search of life focused — on stars like ours.

That left out the universe’s most common stars: red dwarfs, which are smaller than our sun and dimmer. Up to 90 percent of the stars in the universe are red dwar f stars. And astronomers assumed planets circling them would be devoid of life.

But three years ago, NASA got the top experts in the field together. They crunched numbers and realized that life could exist on planets orbiting red dwarfs. The planets would have to be closer to their star and wouldn’t rotate as quickly as Earth. The scientists considered habitability and found conditions near these small stars wouldn’t be similar to Earth but would still be acceptable for life.

That didn’t just open up billions of new worlds, but many, many times that.

Last week, a Yale University astronomer said he estimates there are 300 sextillion stars — triple the previous number. Lisa Kaltenegger of Harvard University says scientists now believe that as many as half the stars in our galaxy have planets that are two to 10 times the size of Earth — “super Earths” which might sustain life.

Then the question is

The shipment comes after Golden Algae recently decimated the lake’s fish population. The water spot, where many residents go for fishing, will receive new shipments of fresh water fish every two weeks until about April.

a color -coded chart labeled “what we got,” and “what they got,” indicating that Democrats won more concessions in the tax deal than did Republicans.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said he still had reservations about the package, indicating he hopes changes are made before the Senate acts.

“We’ll see what the Senate passes,” Hoyer said.

Biden took a tough stance, warning that any changes might unravel the compromise plan, said several House Democrats who attended the meeting.

“The vice president said, how many of those are in the so-called Goldilocks zone — not too hot, not too cold. The discovery of such a planet was announced in April, although some scientists are challenging that.

The other half of the equation is: How likely is life? Over the past decade and a half, scientists have found Earth life growing in acid, in Antarctica and other extreme environments. But nothing topped last week’s news of a lake bacterium that scientists could train to thrive on arsenic instead of phosphorous. Six major elements have long been considered essential for life — carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur.

This changed that definition of life.

By making life more likely in extreme places, it increases the number of planets that are potential homes for life, said Kaltenegger, who also works at the Max Planck Institute in Germany.

Donald Brownlee, an astronomer at the University of Washington, is less optimistic because he believes what’s likely to be out there is not going to be easy to find — or that meaningful. If it’s out there, he said, it’s likely microbes that can’t be seen easily from great distances. Also, the different geologic and atmospheric forces on planets may keep life from evolving into something complex or intelligent, he said.

If life is going to be found, Mars is the most likely candidate. And any life is probably underground where there is water, astronomers say.

Other possibilities include Jupiter’s moon Europa and Satur n’s moons Enceladus and Titan.

There’s also a chance that a telescope could spot a planet with an atmosphere that suggests photosynthesis is occurring, Kaltenegger said.

And then there’s the possibility of finding alien life on Earth, perhaps in a meteorite, or something with an entirely different set of DNA. And finally, advanced aliens could find us or we could hear their radio transmissions, McKay said. That’s what the SETI Institute is about, listening for intelligent life.

That’s where Shostak puts his money behind his optimism. At his public lectures, Shostak bets a cup of coffee for everyone in the audience that scientists will find proof of alien life by about 2026. The odds, he figures, have never been more in his favor.

“Everything’s been good,” said Jay Harris, Lake Van agent, referring to the deadly algae being in a stage of remission.

“We’re happy to be back at it again.”

The lake will also receive shipments of bass and catfish following the winter season.

“This is a great day for Lake Van,” said Dexter Mayor David White. “(Fishers) comes everyday and it’s a great place for them to come.”

‘this is the deal, take it or leave it,”’ said Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif.

The White House ballyhooed almost any elected Democrat who endorsed the tax plan, with no state or city too small to justify a press release. Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas and Charlotte, N.C., Mayor Anthony Foxx were among those praising the plan, the White House announced.

But many House Democrats were unmoved.

They particularly criticized Obama’s proposed estate tax rates, which are far more generous than most Democrats had expected.

Roswell Daily Record The concession seemed gratuitous, said Rep. David Price, D-N.C. For now, he said, “there’s a mood to resist” the overall package.

Also, a co-leader of Obama’s deficit-reduction commission said he was deeply disappointed that the tax agreement includes no firm commitment for long-term federal fiscal restraint. Erskine Bowles, a chief of staff in the Clinton White House, made the remarks at a Wyoming event.

Passage of Obama’s plan seems more assured in the Senate, where numerous Democrats have agreed

that the president had little choice in making the compromise with Republicans. Still, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he and colleagues are considering possible changes, and action could come within days.

Changes designed to ease some Democrats’ concerns might include a provision for bonds to help state and local gover nments pay for construction projects, tax breaks for wind power and cleanenergy subsidies, lawmakers said.

Texas sued over sale of baby blood samples

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A civil rights group on Wednesday sued Texas health officials over the sale and distribution of about 8,800 samples of baby blood to pharmaceutical companies and the military.

The federal lawsuit filed by the Texas Civil Rights Project says officials at the Texas Department of State Health Services lied when they previously said the state had not sent the samples to private companies or federal agencies.

The group sued the state in 2009 over what it said was the improper collection of millions of baby blood samples without parental consent that were stored indefinitely for scientific research.

In December 2009, state officials announced a settlement that including destroying about 5 million of the blood samples.

The lawsuit filed Wednesday in San Antonio seeks to recover and destroy the samples the group says were sold by the state to pharmaceutical companies and sent to the Ar med Forces Institute of Pathology for DNA research.

The plaintiffs also want state Health Commissioner Dr. David L. Lakey to pay $1,000 for every blood sample distributed.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of two parents who don’t know if their chil-

in that case, allegedly installed the stolen property at Brewer’s home, according to court documents.

City officials declined to say exactly why Conner was terminated or how it relates to Brewer’s arrest.

Other local candidates for the position of chief include the RPD’s deputy chief, Jody Scifres, and a former department com-

dren’s blood sample was sold or not. Civil Rights Project director Jim Harrington said the 8,800 number was the group’s best estimate and believes it could be more.

Harrington said he believes the state profited more than $300,000 from the sale of the samples, which he said pharmaceutical companies and the military use for drug and medical research.

Jeff Higgins of San Antonio said he supports medical research but wouldn’t want his 3-year-old daughter’s blood sample to be given to the military.

“If they had asked us to participate and it was for non-profit human benefit, we would say yes and what else can we do?” Higgins said. “There is no circumstance I want my daughter’s genetic material or DNA to be stored by any of the military.”

Health Department spokeswoman Carrie Williams said in a statement that the agency had not yet seen the lawsuit and would not comment on specific allegations.

Williams said the agency considered the blood sample dispute closed when the settlement was reached in 2009.

“The state spent countless hours responding to their concer ns in good faith, and we had come to a resolution that we all agree mander who retired about one year ago, Dane Kyser.

Alfonso Solis, administrator of the Chaves County Detention Center, is also in the running.

on, with the state destroying the bloodspots in question,” Williams said.

Texas has been collecting blood samples for decades to screen for at least 27 different birth defects and other disorders. By law, the blood could be taken without consent by hospitals, birthing centers and midwives, and discarded after a certain period of time.

The state established a policy in 2002 in which it began setting aside the blood samples after the screenings were done and using some of it for research.

State lawmakers in 2009 tightened up procedures, extended privacy guarantees and gave parents the option to not participate.

The settlement announced in December 2009 dealt with samples taken before the new law took effect.

Harrington said state officials were asked several times during negotiations whether the state sold or bartered any of the samples to drug companies or state or federal agencies.

According to the lawsuit, state officials, including Lakey, denied the samples had been sent to those outlets.

“They drew blood for a good reason, newbor n screening, but then secretly and unlawfully sold, traded, bartered and distributed it, and were deceptive about it,” Harrington said.

NATION/OBITUARIES public schools in Edna, Kansas, and received her teaching degree in science and math from the Colorado State College of Education in Greeley, Colo.

She moved to Roswell in 1940 to teach Science at Roswell High School. She married Edd B. Sherman on June 7, 1942, at the Sherman Ranch 15 miles Southwest of Roswell. She remained married to Edd until his death in February 2008. She taught science and math in the Roswell public school system for 29 years. She was a member of Chapter AI, P.E.O., the Roswell Museum Art League and the Roswell Fine Arts League. She was a volunteer at the Roswell Library, a docent at the Roswell Art Museum. Ruth was an active member of First Presbyterian Church and then became a charter member of Westminster Presbyterian Church of Roswell.

Ruth is survived by her two children, Robert E. Sherman, Colonel, USAF retired and his wife Kathleen of Roswell and Ann C. Cooper and her husband Ralph of Mocksville, N.C., four grandchildren, Sarah Sher man-Clark and her husband Steven, Lane Choplin, Leslie Choplin and Blake Choplin, and two great-grandchildren, Emma and Robert Clark.

After retirement, Edd and Ruth enjoyed traveling in the states and overseas.

Hallmark characteristics of Ruth were her dignity and integrity. In addition, her family very fondly remembers the delicious food she loved to prepare and treasures the beautiful pictures she painted. She

always had a kind word for the people she met and consequently was respected by those who knew her.

Ruth loved and constantly showed great affection and care for her husband Edd. All those who knew Ruth will dearly miss her kind actions and words and her constant attention to the needs and comfort of others.

In place of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to Assurance Home Inc., 1000 East 18th, Roswell, NM 88201.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory. An online registry can be accessed at www.ballardfuneralhome.com .

NEW YORK (AP) — The websites for Visa and MasterCard were inaccessible for parts of Wednesday, likely the result of attacks

by WikiLeaks supporters who are angry that the credit card companies had stopped processing donations to the organization.

Both MasterCard and Visa said that cardholders’ accounts were not at risk and that people could continue using their credit cards throughout the day.

Supporters of the WikiLeaks, which has released thousands of classified government documents in recent weeks, said they would attack companies and groups hostile to the site and its founder. An Internet group operating under the label “Operation Payback” claimed responsibility for the MasterCard and Visa problems in messages on Twitter and elsewhere.

MasterCard’s troubles began in early mor ning Eastern time and by midafternoon, its website was once again operational.

But the hacker group appeared to be preparing for its next target, Visa Inc., and by about 4 p.m.

EST the company’s corporate website was inaccessible. The site appeared to be functioning once again after 6 p.m. EST. Spokesman Ted Carr said Visa’s processing network, which handles cardholder transactions, was working normally.

The hacking group Anonymous, known for previous attacks on the Church of Scientology and Kiss bassist Gene Simmons, is distributing software tools to allow anyone with a computer and an Internet connection to join in the attacks as part of “Operation Payback.” Such tools are widely available

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats said Wednesday they had a plan to overcome Republican objections and finally repeal the military’s 17year -old ban on openly gay troops.

The White House also expressed optimism that Congress would overturn the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, despite key GOP senators giving no indication that they would agree.

A test vote was scheduled for late Wednesday on a defense policy bill that includes the repeal provision.

“The president is hopeful, and encouraging Democrats and Republicans to get behind that repeal,” said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

Advocates for overturning the law say they are confident that at least 60 senators are on their side, giving Democrats a filibuster -proof majority to pass the measure.

But Republicans, including Maine Sen. Susan Collins and other

GOP senators who support r epeal, have united to block previous attempts to advance the legislation.

They say the bill requires mor e debate time than Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has allowed.

In r ecent days, GOP senators have said no bill should be consider ed before tax cuts and gover nment spending ar e addressed.

Reid, D-Nev., told reporters Wednesday that he is trying to negotiate a deal with Collins that would allow more than a dozen amendments on the bill and extra debate time for Republicans if they wanted it.

Reid’s aides said they expected Collins would swing behind the proposal, especially now that a deal had been struck with the White House on tax cuts and the Senate was awaiting House action on government spending.

A spokesman for Collins, Kevin Kelley, would only confirm that she was in talks with Reid

Ruth M. Sherman

Ruth Sherman, age 95, of Roswell passed away peacefully Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010, at her apartment in Roswell after a few weeks of increasing illness. Memorial services will be scheduled later in June 2011 when family members living in Western California, the East Coast, Easter n Kansas and Central Mexico will be able to attend.

Ruth Sherman was born Sept. 16, 1915, in Labette County Kansas to Walter McNeal and Pearl Pickett McNeal.

Both are deceased. Ruth attended

dren; John, Virginia and Joseph. She was a member of St. Peter Catholic Church and later a member of the Assumption Parish.

Rose moved to Calif. in 2000. She was devoted to her family and was very active in the Catholic Church. She was a member of the Altar Society, and a lifetime member of the Catholic Daughters of America. The Poor Clare's of Roswell played a very important part in her life, and she was very dedicated to them.

Rose will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother great-grandmother, aunt and a special friend to very many people who came into her life. She loved her religion and lived it to the fullest. She was always ready to meet with her heavenly father, and always had a prayer line going and never left anyone out of her devotion to her faith. She will also be remembered as a card player, never turning down a fun game of Chance. Rose also enjoyed her fun trips with the girls to Las Vegas, and of course she was one of the best Italian cooks ever.

Rose was preceded in death by her parents, Antonio and Merianna Vacarro, her husband Nick and son Joseph, her infant grandson Christopher Hermreck, her brothers Frank, Sam, Joseph and Ben Vacarro, and sisters Francis Gunning and Jennie Cook.

Rose is survived by her son John and wife Shirley DiPaolo, Dallas, Texas, daughter Virginia and husband Norman Hermreck, Temecula, Calif., grandchildren Elizabeth DiPaolo

We have lost Donita Lue Biggs Lilly, our loving mother and devoted grandmother on Dec. 3, 2010, after a long and courageous battle with COPD. Donita was bor n on March 6, 1934, to parents Dick and Helen Biggs in Cyril, Okla., and was preceded in death

by Richard W. Lilly, her loving husband of 41 years, on December 23, 1995.

Donita was bor n and raised on a farm outside Cyril, Okla. She married her first love, Richard “Dick” Lilly on September 23, 1951. Donita has lived in Rockport, Texas since May 1979.

on the Inter net and can easily launch a large number of attacks on targeted websites, said Dean Turner from the computer security firm Symantec.

MasterCard acknowledged “a service disruption” involving its Secure Code system for verifying online payments, but spokesman James Issokson said consumers could still use their credit cards for secure transactions.

Consumers can use credit card companies’ websites to find information about the cards, but applying for one and accessing existing accounts are done through the banks that issue the cards.

The credit card companies’ troubles took place the same day of attacks on websites for Swedish prosecutors, the Swedish lawyer whose clients have accused founder Julian Assange of sexual crimes

and the Swiss authority that froze Assange’s bank account. Sarah Palin, the for mer Alaska gover nor and Republican candidate for vice president, said her political action committee’s website also came under attack from WikiLeaks supporters.

Besides Visa and MasterCard, a string of U.S.based companies — including Amazon.com Inc. and eBay Inc.’s PayPal — cut ties to WikiLeaks amid intense U.S. government pressure. In a statement, PayPal confirmed that its website has been attacked, which at times slowed the site down but did not “significantly” affect payments.

In a statement, MasterCard said its systems have not been compromised.

Earlier Wednesday, the company said the problems appeared to be “the result of a concentrated effort to flood our corporate web

site with traffic and slow access.”

Such an attack, known as a denial of service, is analogous to thousands of people all calling the same phone number at once, resulting in busy signals for the few who are legitimately trying to get through.

The term “hacktivist” is now widely used to describe politically motivated hackers such as the WikiLeaks supporters, said David Perry, global director of education at security company Trend Micro. Earlier this year, an Ohio college student was sentenced to 30 months in prison for hacking into the websites of conservative pundit Ann Coulter and of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Operation Payback itself appeared to run into problems Wednesday as many of its sites went down. It was unclear who was

on the subject.

Reid said Republicans had run out of excuses to block the bill.

“Throwing up these artificial roadblocks is just foolishness,” Reid said.

Still, Reid’s decision to force a vote now on repeal was considered a gamble.

If it fails, it would be considered dead for the year. The r epeal ef fort would then face an uphill battle come January when Republicans take control of the House and increase their numbers in the Senate.

If it passes, the Senate would spend the next few days debating the bill before a final vote is cast.

At least four Senate Republicans — Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Susan Collins of Maine and John Ensign of Nevada — have said they think the law should be overturned.

Conservative Democrats who were initially reluctant on the matter, including Sen. Mark Pryor of

Arkansas, have also said they would vote to lift the ban now that a Pentagon study concluded it would not hurt military effectiveness.

Advocates for r epeal said privately they thought Wednesday’s vote was doomed to fail. Publicly, gay rights groups called on Pr esident Barack Obama to use his power to ensure the vote succeeded.

“The pr esident set a course for repeal during his State of the Union address and this Senate vote may be the steepest hur dle of this 17-year fight,” said Christopher Nef f, deputy executive director of the Palm Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

“This is the president’s vote and his leadership can make the difference today,” Nef f said in a statement e-mailed shortly after Reid’s announcement.

WASHINGTON (AP) — American Indians and black farmers will be paid $4.6 billion to address claims of government mistreatment over many decades under landmark legislation President Barack Obama signed Wednesday.

The legislation “closes a long and unfortunate chapter in our history,” Obama said. “It’s finally time to make things right.”

At a signing ceremony at the White House the president declared that approval of the longdelayed legislation “isn’t simply a matter of making amends, it’s about reaffirming our values on which this nation was founded: the principles of fairness and equality and opportunity.”

Obama promised during his campaign to work toward resolving disputes over the government’s past discrimination against minorities. The measure

Rose Vacarro DiPaolo, born in St. Louis, Mo., to Antonino and Merianna Vacarro on May 30, 1913, died on Dec 2, 2010, in Temecula, Calif., after a brief illness. Rose was a long- time Roswell resident.

Rose will be missed by all her family members as well as her many friends. A memorial service is pending and burial will be at South Park Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Poor Clare’s of Roswell in Rose’s name.

Donita Lue Biggs Lilly

Donita is survived by her son Rick Lilly and daughter-in-law Kim Lilly; daughter Denise Lilly and son-inlaw Fred Dreiling; grandsons Scott Lilly (Bonnie), Chad Lilly and Spencer Dreiling (Niccole); granddaughters, Regina Lilly Gonzalez (Oscar), Jill Dreiling Wilson (Keith), Elizabeth Dreiling (Robert Nuckols), Kayla Havelka Clark (Jason), and Kelsey Havelka; great-granddaughters; Chase L ynn Schoen, Michaela Wilson, Lauren Goering, Keely Wilson and Brittney Ettenger, greatgrandsons Brayden Lilly, Kanon Gonzalez, Mason Dreiling, Nicholas Billman, and Robert Ettenger; stepmother Emily Biggs, and her loving dog and longtime companion Cydnee.

Donita was a selfless, giving woman; did not have a mean bone in her body; was generous to a fault; had a wonderful sense of humor and she sang beautifully. Donita loved to travel throughout the United States and Europe. She was an accomplished seamstress and a formidable Scrabble opponent.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2010, at 10 a.m. at the Rockport Church of Christ.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the hospice facility of your choice.

Bobbie Davis

Services are pending at Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory for Bobbie Davis, 76, who passed away December 7, 2010. A further announcement will be made once arrangements have been finalized.

And Facebook banned the group’s page from its site, saying in an e-mailed statement it takes action on content that “promotes unlawful activity.”

Spokesman Andrew Noyes would not comment on whether Facebook banned any individual users and pointed out that the Wikileaks page does not violate the company’s policies and remains up.

On Twitter, Operation Payback’s site also appeared to be suspended Wednesday evening. A Twitter spokeswoman said the company had no comment.

A British judge sent Assange to jail on Tuesday, denying bail after he vowed to fight efforts to be extradited to Sweden in a sexcrimes investigation.

he signed settles a pair of long-standing class-action lawsuits. The measure also settles four longstanding disputes over Native American water rights in Arizona, New Mexico and Montana.

Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Tribe from Browning, Mont., and the lead plaintiff in the Indian royalties case, called the signing ceremony “breathtaking,” adding that she did not expect it to happen in her lifetime.

Cobell filed the suit nearly 15 years ago and led efforts to reach the $3.4 billion settlement a year ago and then push it through the House and Senate.

At least 300,000 Native Americans say they were swindled out of royalties overseen by the Interior Department since 1887 for oil, gas, grazing and timber rights. The plaintiffs will share the settlement.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Deal directly with others at a distance. If you need to call in an expert, don't challenge this person. Your questions need to be phrased most politely, unless you want a firestorm. Positive news allows for a new direction. Tonight: Make plans for a day outing.

Caring doesn't necessarily involve spending. Tonight: Flirt the night away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Curb a need to use money as a measure of others. Actually, if you detach, you can see that many people have a lot to offer. Walk away from your value system for at least a day. Understand that everyone has limits.

NATIONAL YANKS OFFER LEE DEAL WORTH UP TO $140M

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — How hungry are the New York Yankees to sign Cliff Lee? Brian Cashman couldnʼt have been more vivid in his description after finally making an offer Wednesday to the prized free-agent pitcher, a deal worth between $137 million and $140 million for six seasons. Every other possible big move by New York must wait until the 32-yearold left-hander decides.

“Hannibal Lecter in a straitjacket right now, waiting on this Cliff Lee thing,” the Yankees GM said. “Itʼs kind of restricting my movements a little bit.”

While Cashman didnʼt go into details, a person familiar with the offer said it was a six-year deal valued at more than Johan Santanaʼs contract with the New York Mets, which is for $137.5 million, and as much as $140 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposal was not made public.

Leeʼs agent, Darek Braunecker, left the winter meetings and headed to Arkansas to meet with his client after receiving the offer from the Yankees.

New York manager Joe Girardi even called Lee “the prize of this winter.”

Cashman wouldnʼt discuss his dinner meeting with Carl Crawford on Tuesday night — other than to say he had steak — and wouldnʼt say whether the Yankees could sign both Lee and the All-Star outfielder.

Lynn introduced as WBU football coach Section

Roswell Daily Record

KEVIN J. KELLER RECORD SPORTS EDITOR

Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, Texas, has its first football coach in more than 70 years and New Mexico Military Institute is now without one.

Bronco head coach Jeff L ynn was formally introduced at a press conference on campus as the coach of the Wayland Baptist Pioneer football team on Wednesday.

“It’s just really exciting,” Lynn said. “We get to walk into a situation where everything is new and everything is positive.

“I’m walking into a situation where there’s a lot of excitement and it’s just an opportunity to create your own tradition and create your own cultures. That’s very exciting for me.”

Lynn, who went 29-35 in six seasons at NMMI, will take the reigns of a program that hasn’t existed since 1940.

WBU will field a football team for the 2012 season, giving L ynn more than a year and a half to build his program from scratch.

“We’re just going to take good players,” he said about how he intends to build the Pioneer program.

“I think the core of the football team needs to come from within 350 miles of the campus, so we’ll recruit high school kids in that area extremely hard and try to build the foundation of our football program from those kids.

Jeff Lynn, the now-former NMMI Bronco football coach, speaks at his introductory press conference at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, Texas, Wednesday. Lynn was hired from a field of more than 60 applicants to helm the first WBU football team in more than 70 years after a six-year stint as the head coach of the Institute’s JUCO gridiron team.

“But we’ll take good players wherever we can get them.”

Having a year and a half to recruit, he said, will give him time to lay the foundation of a solid program.

“We’re not playing next fall, so we’ll have a year and a half to recruit and lay the foundation. In the

next year and a half, we just need to get kids in, redshirt them and just develop them and have them learn our offensive and defensive system.

“By the fall of 2012, we need to have a solid nucleus of football players that we can build on moving into the future. That’s the

goal, to lay the foundation and have a solid recruiting class this year and have a solid recruiting class next year.”

L ynn was hired from a field of more than 60 applicants for the position.

“He has a sense of the vision of what we will put in place with the rebirth of

the school’s football program,” said WBU Director of Athletics Dr. Greg Feris about L ynn. “Among his many attributes are his six valuable years as a collegiate head coach, his strong ties to west Texas

Character Counts! honors fall coaches

Character Counts! of Chaves County announced its fall honorees for its Coaches Recognition Program on Wednesday. This year’s winners are Goddard High School head cross country coach Vernon D. Dyer, Hagerman High School head football coach Randy Montoya, New Mexico Military Institute head volleyball coach Stephanie Schooley and Roswell High School head boys soccer coach James Vernon.

Each award winner will receive an honorary plaque, a gift certificate to an area restaurant and a certificate good for a onenight stay at the Lodge at Sierra Blanca in Ruidoso, all courtesy of PrimeSource Mortgage and Stone Community Bank.

Vernon D. Dyer

Dyer helms both the boys and girls cross country programs at Goddard High School and is also involved in the Senior Olympics. He was nominated by Goddard High School athletic coordinator Michelle Edgett.

“Coach Ver non Dyer epitomizes the Character Counts! program and the basis on which it was founded,” Edgett said of Dyer. “He models respect in all that he does. His teams care deeply about each other, which is not always evident in an individual sport. They are model students in the classroom and an asset to their community.

“Coach Dyer refuses to take any credit for the success of his athletes, but any of them will tell you they would not be where they are today without his involvement in

their lives.”

“Vernon Dyer has always shown a great deal of interest in his runners. During practice, Coach Dyer would make time to speak to each runner and make sure they enjoyed their cross country season,” said team captain Andrew Martin. “I believe that Coach Dyer is a generous man and a great coach. I will always remember Coach Dyer as the best coach I have had.”

This is Dyer’s fourth Character Counts! coaching award for cross country. He also won the award in 2004, 2006 and 2008.

Randy Montoya

Montoya guided the Hagerman football team to its second straight state championship game appearance and a 10-2 record this season. He is a Goddard High School graduate and ear ned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Eastern New Mexico University. He teaches algebra and geometry at HHS, where he also serves as the freshman class sponsor.

He is also an active member at Assumption Church.

“Coach Randy Montoya is a member of our society that represents the six pillars of character on a daily basis,” said Hagerman athletic director Anthony Mestas, who nominated Montoya for the award. “He also cares about our school, team and community. He helps promote students to be involved in our community. Coach Montoya is a great coach, mentor, teacher and

Urban Meyer steps down as Florida coach See COACHES, Page B3

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — With his wife and two of his three children sitting a few feet away, Urban Meyer didn’t have to look very far to be reminded why he’s leaving one of the premier jobs in college football.

It’s all about family.

Meyer resigned from Florida on Wednesday, stepping down for the second time in less than a year. His first attempt, which lasted just a day, was for health reasons.

This time it’s to be a better husband and father.

“At the end of the day, I’m very convinced that you’re going to be judged on how you are as a husband and as a father and not on how many bowl AP Photo

games we won,” Meyer said at a campus news conference.

“I’ve not seen my two girls play high school sports. They’re both very talented Division I-A volleyball players, so I missed those four years. I missed two already with one away at college. I can’t get that time back.”

The 46-year -old coach led Florida to two national titles but briefly resigned last December, citing health concerns. He had been hospitalized with chest pains after the Gators lost to Alabama in last season’s Southeastern Conference championship game.

“Last year was a kneejerk reaction,” Meyer said.

“This year was just completely different.”

Meyer called Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley on Saturday to tell him he was contemplating retire-

ment. They met Tuesday to finalize his intentions.

Meyer signed a six-year, $24 million extension in 2009, meaning he’s walking away from about $20 million in guaranteed salary.

But Foley did agree to pay Meyer a $1 million retention bonus the coach would have received had he been employed on Jan. 31, 2011.

AOL FanHouse first reported the resignation, and fellow coaches were quick to praise his efforts at Florida.

For mer Florida coach and current South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said, “I believe he will coach again some day, but if he doesn’t, he will go down as one of the best coaches in college football history.”

Meyer left open the possibility of returning to the sideline, but said it was not going to happen in the “immediacy.”

“He teaches discipline and gives structure to our players, but also loves each and every one of them and gets the most out of them. We are very fortunate to have him coaching our football team.”

The captains of Montoya’s team also offered their thoughts on their coach.

“He has showed us that it is not all about winning and that life pertains to more important things, like family and school work. He cares about the football team, but what he is most concerned about is our school work. He makes sure that we all have passing grades before

Konerko gets 3-year, $37.5M contract with White Sox

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Paul Konerko was vacationing in Mexico last week, sitting on a chair looking at the ocean, when he received a text message that Adam Dunn had agreed to a deal with the Chicago White Sox. “My first thought was, ‘OK, well, that was a fun 12 years. That was it. It was a him-orme situation,”’ Konerko recalled.

Then Konerko remembered that White Sox general manager Kenny Williams had told him the team would make a big push to win in 2011.

“Maybe they’re actually going to make a push to get both of us,” Konerko thought to himself later.

That’s what happened. The White Sox retained their team captain Wednesday, agreeing to a $37.5 million, three-year contract with the four-time All-Star first baseman.

On Tuesday, Williams had said he was moving onto Plan B. But assistant general manager Rick Hahn then made progress on a deal with Konerko’s agent, Craig Landis, over sushi. Negotiations were completed by e-mail.

“He might have gotten a little bit more because Rick and I started to tip a few back after a while,” Williams said.

If Konerko stays with the White Sox until the end of the deal, he will have spent 15 years with Chicago.

“That’s a pretty nice round number,” he said.

He gets $12 million in each of the next two seasons and $13.5 million in 2013 under Wednesday’s agreement. In the final year, $7 million will be deferred and paid annually in $1 million installments from 2014-20.

Chicago has spent this offseason after finishing second in Minnesota in the AL Central at 88-74. In addition to Dunn’s $56 million, four-year contract, catcher A.J. Pierzynski stayed for an $8 million, two-year deal.

“We certainly, I think, are at a point

She is a hard-working individual who is always willing to help other programs in the department,” said Institute associate athletic director Jose Barron, who nominated Schooley for the award. “Coach Schooley leads by example and lives and teaches the six pillars of character.

Cassel has appendectomy, return unclear

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Quarterback Matt Cassel, a key reason the Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as contenders and lead the AFC West late in the season, underwent an appendectomy on Wednesday.

How long the Chiefs might be without Cassel, the AFC offensive player of the month, was uncertain.

They said the procedure was a success and they expected Cassel to “return to work this week.” They did not say whether he would be ready to play on Sunday when the Chiefs (8-4) travel to San Diego for a showdown with the Chargers, who trail Kansas City by two games in the division.

Taking most of the practice snaps on Wednesday was Brodie Croyle, who is 0-9 as an NFL starter and has not appeared in a game all year.

While the Chiefs released no details of the operation, the American College of Surgeons website advises patients who have had a minimally invasive appendectomy not to “lift or participate in strenuous activity for three to five days” after the procedure.

Cassel helped present area high school star Bubba Starling an award on Tuesday morning and then appeared at another event on Tuesday night. The Chiefs did not say if he underwent emergency surgery, which might suggest a more invasive procedure.

The Chiefs also signed quarterback Tyler Palko to the 53-man roster from the practice squad.

“It’s actually a coincidence. It really is,” said coach Todd Haley, who insisted during his news conference on saying only that Cassel had “an illness.”

Haley declined to speculate on whether Cassel will be ready for Sunday’s game.

“Again, he’ll be on the injury report as illness today,” Haley said. “And we’ll just take it from there as we do all injuries.”

In his second season as the Chiefs’ full time starter, Cassel has been thriving under the tutelage of Haley and first-year offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, hitting 212 of 354 passes for 2,503 yards and 23 touchdowns.

He’s thrown an NFL-low four interceptions.

His current streak of 158 passes without an interception is the third-longest active streak in the league.

Cassel was the AFC’s offensive player of the month in November, going 90 for 144 for 1,111 yards and 12 TDs with only one interception.

Croyle, a third-round pick out of Alabama in 2006, was projected as the Chiefs’ foundation quarterback before Herman Edwards was fired as head coach after the 2008 season. Injury prone, he immediately dropped to second team when new general manager Scott Pioli traded for Cassel before the 2009 season. Croyle has not started since the 2009 season opener, when Cassel was hurt.

Croyle said this week will be no different than any other for him, other than the fact he’ll be getting more practice reps.

“Just got to prepare like you always do,” he said. “My number’s called, got to be ready to go. You’ve got to be ready to go on any play.”

Croyle has seen action in 16 regularseason games, going 173 for 300 for 1,631 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The Chiefs also put cornerback Jackie

The school is a private, coeducational Baptist university that was established in 1908 and has a current enrollment of approximately 1,200 students across its 14 campuses in the U.S. and Kenya.

Lynn, along with his wife Julie and their three sons, 5-year -old Eli, 4-year -old Noah and 3-year-old Luke, will relocate to Plainview within the next month.

NMMI athletic director Reggie Franklin said the process of replacing L ynn “has already started” and that interviews will begin on Monday with in-house candidates Josh L ynn (Jeff’s brother and current offensive coordinator) and current co-defensive coordinators Joe Fortchner and Mike Walton. kjkeller@roswell-record.com

Team captain Freddie Romero also offered his thoughts on Vernon.

“This year, our team lost two games, so you can imagine how hard it was to take those losses. But after each loss, Coach Vernon told us to hold our heads high and shake the opposing players’ and referees’ hands. Coach Vernon will never get mad at a loss as long as our team plays hard and honorably.

He teaches us how to win and lose with honor.

“I’ve never seen any one man work so hard. Everything he does is selfless and he doesn’t expect anything in retur n. Coach Vernon is a role model, not just for soccer, but for life.”

This is Vernon’s second Character Counts! coaching award for soccer. He also won the award in 2003.

Bombs, shootings kill 5 Iraqis, wound pilgrims

Handcuffed al-Qaida-linked suspects sit in the terrorist combat and organized crime department in Baghdad, Iraq, Dec. 2. Iraq's interior minister called Thursday for the death penalty for a group of 39 al-Qaida-linked suspects even before they have been put on trial for allegedly plotting to bomb targets in Baghdad.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Scattered bombings and gunfire killed five people and wounded 24 Wednesday in attacks around the Iraqi capital, including one on a bus of Iranian pilgrims headed to a Shiite religious ceremony.

The violence came as a Defense Ministry spokesman announced the arrest in the killing last month of a journalist as proof that Iraqi security forces are making headway in curbing insurgents.

In the deadliest attack, a car bomb outside a restaurant killed three people in the town of Taji, some 12 miles north of Baghdad.

The explosives-packed car also wounded 16 people, police and hospital officials said.

In Baghdad, gunmen killed two government officials and injured a third in separate attacks. A police captain and the head accountant for the Iraqi Supreme Court were each killed by attackers with silenced pistols in western Baghdad, police and hospital officials said.

In a northern neighborhood, gunmen targeted a counter-terrorism policeman but failed to kill him despite shooting him several times, police and hospital officials said.

None of the attackers were caught, and all officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media. Security forces and gover nment employees have

increasingly become targeted by extremists seeking to prove their continuing effectiveness as U.S. forces prepare to leave Iraq by the end of 2011.

The Iranian pilgrims, meanwhile, were driving through the Sunni neighborhood of Dora in southern Baghdad early Wednesday when their bus was hit by a roadside bomb, officials said.

They were headed to the holy city of Karbala where hundreds of thousands of Shiites are expected to visit in the coming days for the 10-day religious event known as Ashoura. The event marks the anniversary of the 7th century death of Imam Hussein, who was slain in battle near Karbala.

Hussein’s death sealed Islam’s

historic Sunni-Shiite split — the ancient divide that provided the backdrop for the sectarian bloodshed in Iraq after the 2003 U.S.led war. The invasion toppled the Sunni-dominated regime of Saddam Hussein, which had long persecuted the country’s Shiite majority.

Sunni insurgents in Iraq have frequently targeted Shiite shrines and religious ceremonies, killing thousands since 2004. They have also attacked Iranian pilgrims, very few of whom were allowed to visit Iraq’s holy sites under Saddam.

Meanwhile, Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Askari told The Associated Press that Iraqi soldiers captured

a cell of foreign insurgents in the northern city of Mosul who confessed to last month’s killing of local TV reporter Mazin Mardan.

Mardan, 18, was the third employee of the Al-Mousiliyah satellite channel to be killed by insurgents this year, and was shot at home, in front of his parents.

Al-Askari said the cell of extremists who were recruited by al-Qaida in Iraq also took responsibility for a spate of attacks against five Christian families in Mosul. Thousands of Christians have fled Iraq in fear after suicide bombers struck a Catholic church during Mass on Oct. 31, killing 68.

S. Africa halts circumcision device JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The South African government has halted the rollout of a controversial male circumcision device, health department spokesman Fidel Hadebe said Wednesday.

Hadebe said more research was needed into the plastic device, known as Tara Klamps, which has been used in the circumcisions of 9,000 South African men since April as part of an initiative to stop the spread of AIDS. Treatment Action Campaign, a Cape Town-

based advocacy group for people with HIV, welcomed the government’s decision, calling the device dangerous and painful.

South Africa has more people living with HIV than anywhere else in the world, with 5.7 million of 50 million people infected.

Circumcision, in conjunction with using condoms and remaining faithful to one partner, has been shown to cut the risk of contracting the AIDS virus by as much as

60 percent. While circumcision reduces the risk of HIV transmission, the devices cause excessive swelling and severe pain, said Lihle Dlamini, the deputy secretary general of Treatment Action Campaign.

The director of KwaZulu-Natal’s male medical circumcision division, however, said they will continue to purchase the circumcision device. In October, the KwaZuluNatal government bought 22,500 devices, director Sandile Tshabalala said.

Heavy snow shuts Paris airport, Eiffel Tower

A woman and a girl are seen near the Eiffel Tower after snow fell in Paris on Wednesday.

PARIS (AP) — Heavy snow in Paris on Wednesday shut down the city’s main airport, its bus system and the Eiffel Tower.

Elsewhere in Europe, bad weather caused travel chaos in Scotland, and a child’s body was found after a flash flood in Spain.

In Paris, where heavy snowfall is unusual, the snow reached 4 inches, weather service Meteo France said. It quickly turned into a slushy mess, and vehicles skidded on unplowed roads.

Flights in and out of Paris’ Charles de Gaulle were suspended for about an hour and a half Wednesday afternoon, the city’s airport authority said. When it reopened, only one of four runways was in use. At both Paris airports, flights were delayed by up to three hours.

All buses in the capital stopped running, as did many suburban buses, the city’s RATP transit authority said.

The Eiffel Tower was shut to tourists around midday, the monument’s press service said. Officials said they couldn’t sprinkle salt on the tower’s floors because of concerns it could damage the iron structure.

Simone Laloum, at work in a shoe shop near Paris’ famous Champs-Elysees avenue, said she watched from inside as many people slipped and fell on the streets.

“We are not prepared here for the snow in Paris, not equipped,” she said. “People don’t want to go out, they’re scared of falling. It doesn’t get cleaned up.”

In Scotland, the first minister said every-

thing possible was being done to keep the country moving in “exceptional conditions.”

Road and rail journeys were once again plunged into chaos by the severe cold, and a 20-mile stretch of Scotland’s busiest road, between Edinburgh and Glasgow, was closed.

Meanwhile, in Spain the Interior Ministry said rescuers had found the body of a 9-year -old boy who drowned in a flash flood, as torrential rains lashed parts of central and southern Spain.

The ministry said the child had been traveling Tuesday with his brother and father when their vehicle was overwhelmed by water from the Alcudia River near the south-central city of Ciudad Real. It said divers found the body Wednesday.

Elsewhere in Spain, around 100 homes in Cordoba were evacuated out of fear the Guadalquivir River would burst its banks.

Another 150 families had to leave their homes in Lora del Rio in neighboring Seville province.

In Paris, in a sign of how a little snow catches the city off guard, Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux called a news conference about the weather. He said an additional 5,000 police, including 2,000 in the Paris metropolitan region alone, were deployed to help keep trouble on the roadways to a minimum.

As Hortefeux spoke, his children were in the ministry’s backyard, at work on a snowman.

Suicide bomber kills 15 in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A suicide bomber blew up a bus in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday, killing 15 people in the third attack to hit the country this week.

The blast, like the earlier ones, took place close to the border regions with Afghanistan, the stronghold of Islamist militants threatening the stability of nuclear-armed Pakistan.

The bomber destroyed a small passenger bus at a station in a market area of Kohat city, photographs taken by The Associated Press showed. Many of the victims were onboard the vehicle. It was unclear whether the attacker was inside the bus.

Al-Qaida and Taliban militants seeking to overthrow Pakistan’s broadly proWestern government have carried out scores of bombings in recent years, mostly against Western, government or security targets. The army has responded with offensives in some parts of the northwest. Most of the buses at the

stand were heading to Orakzai, a border region that has seen army operations against the militants this year. Shad Ali, a doctor who heads the health administration in Kohat, said 15 were killed and 25 injured in the blast.

The attack occurred on the first day of the Islamic month of muharram, which often sees attacks by Sunni extremist groups on minority Shia Muslims.

Orakzai and Kohat city are home to some Shia, but the religious affiliations of the victims were not immediately known.

On Monday, 50 people were killed in two blasts at a government compound in Mohmand, also in the border area. A spokesman for the Pakistan Taliban, the main militant group in the northwest, claimed responsibility for that attack earlier Wednesday.

On Tuesday, a suicide bomber attempted to kill the chief minister in the Baluchistan province, which also borders Afghanistan.

I have stayed with him in his large home to help with the kids. I supplement their groceries with things we enjoy. Dennis has a female friend he confides in. He insists they are platonic, but she has told me she hopes to win him over.

This woman has a hard time making ends meet, but always has money for pedicures and outof-town football games. She spends many days and nights with Dennis, showering there, eating his food and using his laundry facilities. I resent that she is eating or taking home the food I buy for the children. Am I being selfish? My husband and I live on a fixed income and must be careful with our money. Any suggestions?

During Mindy’s battle with cancer, she and her husband Bill were friendly with another couple who, sadly, were also battling cancer. In this case, it was the husband who had, at a young age, developed the disease.

Near the end of her life, Mindy asked her adult daughter to try and create a relationship between Bill and Helen, the wife who had lost her husband. A few months after Mindy passed, her daughter suggested to her father that he call Helen just to chat. He did, and after some time their friendship evolved into a serious relationship. They are being married in the next few months.

Mindy must have instinctively known that the losses the remaining spouses had suffered would never be understood except by someone else who had experienced such pain. What a selfless person she was!

It infuriates me when she leaves the boys alone with me without informing me in advance.

Nothing will change until you draw the line and tell her that the home she and her boys are living in is yours — not hers — and you expect her to live by your rules, the first of which is giving you the courtesy of asking whether YOU might like the evening out before she plans one for herself. You are both adults, and you deserve to be consulted. If she won’t comply, she should make other living arrangements.

Use sheet music. * Travelers? Use a road map. * A seamstress? Fabric or material. * For larger or bulky items, use a red or green bedsheet, or a holiday-themed, inexpensive tablecloth.

Heloise

Dear Heloise: For a nice, clean smell, I hang clothes from the washer in various rooms, mainly the bedroom or a hallway overnight. These are quick-drying, nondrip-type clothes, ones that I don’t want in the dryer because they will shrink or shouldn’t be put in the dryer anyway. The smell is wonderful from the detergent and/or fabric softener.

A Reader, via e-mail

Dear Readers: If you live in an area prone to bad winter weather, be sure to pack the trunk of your car with winter essentials in case of an emergency.

Blankets, boots, ice scraper, dry foods, hand warmer and matches or lighter are just some suggestions.

Fans remember John Lennon 30 years after his

NEW YORK (AP) — John Lennon’s fans celebrated his life Wednesday by visiting Strawberry Fields, the Central Park garden dedicated in his honor, while a newly released interview he gave shortly before his death showed he was optimistic about his future.

On the 30th anniversary of Lennon’s murder outside his Manhattan apartment building, admirers played his music nearby at Strawberry Fields and placed flowers on a mosaic named for another famous Lennon song, “Imagine.”

“I grew up with his voice,” said Marissa DeLuca, 17, who came to New York from Boston with her father, Paul DeLuca, 50.

“The Beatles are the soundtrack to my childhood,” she said. “His voice is just kind of like home.”

Her father said, “Nothing is timeless like the stuff John and Paul (McCartney) wrote.”

In the interview, conducted just three days before he was gunned down, John Lennon complained about his critics — saying they were just interested in “dead heroes.” He mused that he had “plenty of time” to accomplish some of his life goals.

In Liverpool, where Lennon was from, hundreds were expected to

gather for a vigil Wednesday around the Peace and Harmony sculpture, recently unveiled by Lennon’s former wife, Cynthia, and their son Julian in Chavasse Park.

Jerry Goldman from The Beatles Story, a museum dedicated to the band, said the monument has brought even more people to Liverpool: “The city is very excited that we finally have a focal point at which to remember Lennon and look forward to a vigil that will reach out to people the world over.”

Lennon’s final interview was released to The Associated Press by Rolling Stone on Wednesday. The issue using the full interview will be on magazine stands on Friday. While brief excerpts of Jonathan Cott’s interview with Lennon were released for a 1980 Rolling Stone cover story days after Lennon’s death, this is the first time the entire interview has been published.

“His words are totally joyous and vibrant and hopeful and subversive and fearless,” said Cott in an interview on Tuesday. “He didn’t mince words.”

Lennon saves some of his harshest words for critics who were perennially disappointed with Lennon’s path, in both music and in his life, after leaving the

Beatles.

“These critics with the illusions they’ve created about artists — it’s like idol worship,” he said. “They only like people when they’re on their way up ... I cannot be on the way up again.

“What they want is dead heroes, like Sid Vicious and James Dean. I’m not interesting in being a dead (expletive) hero. .. So forget ’em, forget ’em.”

He also predicted that Bruce Springsteen, then hailed as rock’s bright future, would endure the same critical barbs: “And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he’s no longer God. ... They’ll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.”

But Lennon also talked about trying to be a good father to his youngest son Sean, lear ning how to relate to a child (he admitted he wasn’t good at play) and spoke of his strong bond with wife Yoko Ono: “I’ve selected to work with ... only two people: Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono. ... That ain’t bad picking.”

At 40, he was also reflective of what he had accomplished so far in life and exploring life’s themes, and remained committed to his goal of peace and love on earth.

“I’m not claiming divinity.

AP Photo John Lennon fans mark the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death with a candlelit vigil at the city's European Peace Monument, dedicated to John, in Liverpool, England, Wednesday I’ve never claimed purity of soul. I’ve never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can ... But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.”

Cott interviewed Lennon at his apartment and at his record studio. The interview was originally planned for a cover story for Lennon and Ono’s upcoming album “Double Fantasy,” but in the rush to put out a story

after Lennon was shot to death by Mark David Chapman, only snippets were used.

Cott said he never went back to the three hours worth of tapes until a few months ago when he was cleaning out his closet.

“On a strip of magnetic tape, it was sort of a miracle that first of all, the tape had not degraded after 30 years,” he said. “All of this sudden, this guy’s voice, totally alive ... just made

me feel so inspired that I felt that I should really transcribe the whole thing.”

Cott said he was struck by how much he was thinking about his life and mortality.

“There were a lot of strange consideration of where he was and what he felt like sort of in the middle of his jour ney,” Cott said. “I think it was like a mid-life meditation, I was struck by that.”
