JTH hosts first fox hunt in Roswell STORY BY EMILY RUSSO MILLER PHOTOS BY MARK WILSON

With bellies full of port and sherry, the ladies and gentlemen of an Albuquerque-based fox hunting group cantered over the eastern escarpment of the Pecos River Valley for the first time, Saturday morning.

The group, Juan Tomás Hounds, is a member of the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America established in the 1960s, and usually hunts only on ranches located between Albuquerque and Santa Fe or the undeveloped land on the Duke City’s West Mesa. But two Roswell JTH members persuaded the red-coated masters and their hounds to hunt coyotes on Bureau of Land Management-owned land just opposite Bottomless Lakes State Park.

“We like to hunt in various places,” Leandro Gutierrez, a veterinarian at Casa Querencia Animal Adren Nance readies the hounds for the hunt, Saturday morning.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The GOP-run House, jolted by freshmen determined to drive down the deficit, snatched $61 billion from hundreds of federal programs while shielding coal companies, oil refiners and farms from new federal regulations.

Passage early Saturday of the $1.2 trillion bill, covering every Cabinet agency through Sept. 30, when the current budget year ends,

sent the measure to the Senate, where it faces longer odds, and defied a White House veto threat.

The largely party-line vote of 235-189 was the most striking victory to date for the 87 freshman Republicans elected last fall on a promise to attack the deficit and reduce the reach of government. Three Republicans joined Democrats in opposing the measure.

Health in Roswell who scouted the land three weeks before the hunt, said. “We’re from here, and it’s a great honor for us to host a hunt here.”

In traditional 16th-century British form, the riders sipped their wine from plastic cups (well, almost traditional) during the “Stirrup Cup” prior to the hunt, then donned traditional English hunting attire.

horn sounded, signaling the release of the hounds.

Eleven couples, or 22 hounds, leapt from a horse trailer, and sniffed the ground for the scent of coyotes.

Adren Nance, the huntsman who directs the hounds, says the length of the hunt depends on the weather — the colder, the better since the hounds prefer not to run in the heat. Saturday’s weather was perfect, he said.

“This fog is awesome,” he told the hunt, which consisted of about 15-20 riders.

Nance also says that English-style riding is not foreign to Roswell, where New Mexico Military Institute once had a cavalry unit.

“I used to be a commander of the cavalry unit,” Nance said, smiling while showing off his gold NMMI belt buckle. “It all comes from when NMMI used to have a big horse program until they

Albuquerque officers may be fired for online posts

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Several Albuquerque police of ficers could be fired because of remarks they posted on social networking sites, Police Chief Ray Schultz said.

The chief told the Albuquerque Journal in a copyrighted story published Saturday that some of the postings found during an internal affairs investigation were very problematic.

The probe was launched after a gang unit of ficer who killed a man on Feb. 9 was found to have listed his occupation on his Face-

book page as “human waste disposal.”

Postings by other officers were then found on another Facebook page, called “Fans of the Albuquerque Police Department.”

“IA has been going through and looking at some things that are very problematic,” Police Chief Ray Schultz told the Journal.

Schultz says those found to have posted inappropriate comments could get anything from a reprimand to termination.

On Thursday, Schultz

sent out a “department special order” to all officers cautioning them that “speech, on or of f duty, made pursuant to their official duties is not protected under the First Amendment and may be the basis for discipline if deemed detrimental to the department.” Officers are required to sign a document stating they have read the memo and a Journal editorial on the social media controversy by Feb. 23.

Moos said by mid-January 52,000 seniors nationwide, who were in nonrenewing insurance plans, had yet to choose new 2011 drug coverage plans.

Seniors interested in counseling must bring their Medicare cards and a list of their prescription medications and dosages. Those who do not sign up for new plans may not have another opportunity to do so until the fall. Fall agreements will not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2012.

“You want to take action now so you have coverage for this year,” he cautioned.

According to Moos, seniors who lost coverage should have received a letter from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services telling them that they have until Feb. 28 to

find a new plan, or face the rest of the year without coverage.

Counselors from the New Mexico Aging and LongTerm Services Department and CMS and will be on hand at the Adult Center to help seniors select a new drug plan or Medicare Advantage program. Moos estimates that counseling sessions will take about 30 minutes.

“Counselors can help them see what their choices are,” he said. “If they would like to enroll in a new plan they will get that help.”

Sessions will be provided in English and Spanish.

Those who sign up for a new plan will have drug coverage at the beginning of March.

Seniors who lost their Medicare and Medicaid coverage in non-renewing programs can receive free oneon-one counseling to select new plans on Feb. 23 at the Roswell Adult and Senior Center, 807 N. Missouri Ave., from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

No appointment is necessary.

“This is an opportunity for them to sit across the table from someone and ask questions that they might have about their Medicare benefits,” Bob Moos, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services public affairs officer said. “It’s a great opportunity for the children of Medicare beneficiaries to drop by with their parents and have a conversation with a benefit coun-

Seniors interested in competing in the Chaves County Senior Olympics can register at the Roswell Adult and Senior Center, 807 N. Missouri Ave., through Feb. 28.

“It’s a wonderful experience,” Sara Hall, RASC recreation leader, said.

“Come to the Adult Center and we’ll get you signed up.”

The games will take place in April at various locations throughout the city including New Mexico Military Institute, RAC and the Yucca Center.

Participants must be over 50 years of age before Dec. 31, 2011, to compete.

“Young seniors can participate,” Hall said. “If they’re 49 in July or now they can participate in local games and state games. If they turn 50 in December, they’re legal.”

The cost to compete is $10. Some events include archery, badminton, golf, racquetball, swimming and triathlon. “[The events] help promote healthy lifestyles,” Hall said. “They’ll get physical activity from standing up, moving and it’s a wonderful thing.”

The top six winners in each age group competition will qualify for the state Senior Olympics at New Mexico State University in July. Housing will be available on campus and RAC will provide transportation.

“They get to meet people from all over the state and make friendships,” Hall said. “I have seniors that look forward to going to the state games every year and meeting up with their friends that they haven’t seen in a year.”

Ridgway, who was a commercial truck painter, has been convicted of 48 murders and confessed to or been suspected of dozens more. Several victims were dumped in or posed along the Green River.

Marrero, a 20-year-old mother, was last seen

Ferret colony at Fort Carson takes backseat to war COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Talking isn’t allowed in the Black-Footed Ferret Conservation Center.

The forced quiet is meant to keep the animals calm. And the few people allowed into this closed area of Cheyenne Mountain Zoo must wear surgical masks and sterile booties instead of shoes, safeguards to prevent the spread of disease to one of the most endangered mammals in the world.

Thirty years ago, the black-footed ferret, which once roamed the length of the Front Range and much of the Great Plains, was thought extinct. The last recorded sighting in Colorado was in 1943, and when the last ferret in captivity died in 1979, it was thought to be extinct.

The discovery of a single black-footed ferret in Wyoming in 1981 led to a captive breeding program, and for 20 years the zoo has been one of five in the world where the ferrets are bred. The number of black-footed ferrets in the wild has grown from 18 in 1985 to 1,000.

Despite their ef forts, and the meticulous care to ensure the ferrets remain healthy and virile, zoo conservationists and federal wildlife of ficials can’t establish a foothold for

them in Colorado. The only release site, in northwester n Colorado, contained only a single ferret at last count, and hopes to establish a colony at Fort Carson have faded, as Army officials have put the project on the back burner.

“We have two breeding facilities in the state and no recovery sites in the state, and it’s a big hole in the middle of the country where ferrets should be,” said Della Garelle, the zoo’s director of conservation.

The barren stretch of Fort Carson identified as possible ferret habitat, 2,370 acres near the base’s southern boundary in Pueblo County, was considered ideal. It’s protected from outside incursion and development and has plenty of prairie dogs, the ferrets’ food source.

In December 2008, Carson announced the reintroduction plan to great fanfare. It was hoped, the Army announced, that ferrets could be introduced in the fall of 2009.

Not long after, however, there was a change in personnel at the post; deputy garrison commander Tom Warren was reassigned, and the military put the project on hold. It has yet to be restarted.

“The driving force

behind the concept didn’t have a champion anymore,” said Michael Seraphin, Colorado Springs spokesman for the Colorado Division of Wildlife, which was to be a partner in the project.

Col. Robert McLaughlin, the Fort Carson garrison commander who took over in June 2009, met with zoo staff in the fall of that year, but the ferret program has not been a priority.

“I listened to what they had to say about the ferret,” McLaughlin said last week. “We just haven’t moved forward with any kind of program,.”

Asked if Fort Carson would consider ferret reintroduction, he said, “I have not thought much about it, because right now we’re focusing on the redeployment of the 3rd Brigade and the training of the 2nd Brigade.”

At the zoo, breeding season starts around Valentine’s Day. Males begin to enter their breeding cycle in February, and by April or May the females are ready.

The usually solitary ferrets enjoy three days sharing a cage and artificial burrow, and 42 days later, if all goes well, a litter is born.

The young selected for release are sent to a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

facility in Fort Collins.

They “graduate” by showing they can kill a prairie dog, and then they are released.

The zoo has bred 379 ferrets since 1991, 160 of which have been released.

Shy yet curious, the ferrets spend most of their short lives below ground, raiding prairie dog networks.

There are 19 reintroduction sites around the West.

Only two, in Wyoming and South Dakota, have selfsustaining populations.

The main problem is Non-native disease. plague, along with habitat loss and poisoning of prairie dogs by farmers, nearly drove the ferrets to extinction, and the disease continues to take its toll on prairie dogs and the newly released ferrets.

Plague would have been present at the Carson site, as well, but scientists were eager to try experimental methods of inoculating the animals in the controlled setting of a military base.

The most common criticism of the federal Endangered Species Act, and the main cause of concer n over species reintroductions, are the regulations that come with having endangered animals on a property — just ask the developers in northern El Paso County who spend

leagues took 250 cores of the sea floor and travelled across 2,600 square miles.

Some of the locations she had been studying before the oil spill on April 20 and said there was a noticeable change. Much of the oil she found on the sea floor — and in the water column — was chemically fingerprinted, proving it comes from the BP spill. Joye is still waiting for results to show other oil samples she tested are from BP’s Macondo well.

She also showed pictures of oil-choked bottomdwelling creatures. They included dead crabs and brittle stars — starfish like critters that are normally bright orange and tightly wrapped around coral.

These brittle stars were pale, loose and dead. She also saw tube worms so full of oil they suffocated.

Joye said her research shows that the burning of oil left soot on the sea floor, which still had petroleum products. And even more troublesome was the

tremendous amount of methane from the BP well that mixed into the Gulf and was mostly ignored by other researchers.

Joye and three colleagues last week published a study in Nature Geoscience that said the amount of gas injected into the Gulf was the equivalent of between 1.5 and 3 million barrels of oil.

“The gas is an important part of understanding what happened,” said Ian MacDonald of Florida State University.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco told reporters Saturday that “it’s not a contradiction to say that although most of the oil is gone, there still remains oil out there.”

Earlier this month, Kenneth Feinberg, the govern-

millions to protect habitat for the Preble’s meadow jumping mouse.

Peter Gober, black-footed ferret recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the agency would have allowed anything at the Carson site except the deliberate killing of ferrets.

“We were prepared to write the per mits that training activities could continue. If they wanted to do away with their prairie dogs with poison, that could continue. We’d just pick up the ferrets and take them somewhere else,” Gober said.

But Colorado Springs City Councilman Sean Paige said that despite the agency’s assurances the reintroduction could cause problems for training at Fort Carson and even lead the military to consider closing the post someday.

“Just because we breed them here at the zoo does not mean we need to place colonies on an active military base that will come to inhibit our training on that base,” said Paige, a vocal critic of the Endangered Species Act. “There’s a place to do these reintroductions and there’s a place not to do them, and I think a military base is not a place to do them, given the important national security

work that goes on there.”

“You want to be cooperative and help these animals flourish, but the wave of regulations that accompany them can be a deterrent,” Paige said.

With the Carson reintroduction on hiatus, the Fish and Wildlife Service is back to square one in the efforts to reintroduce the ferrets in Colorado.

Said Gober, “Colorado seems to have the majority of the black-tailed prairie dog habitat. They could play a prominent role in ferret recovery but they’ve just been hamstrung.”

In Wyoming, ferret releases are also controversial. The state has fought ef forts to create new colonies, and landowners have canceled reintroductions out of fear their land use will be limited and they won’t be permitted to kill nuisance prairie dogs.

Gober said the agency is talking to other landowners in southern Colorado about the possibility of reintroductions.

Garelle and others at the zoo are frustrated by the lack of progress in reestablishing ferret populations, but they remain optimistic about the animals’ future, thanks to the breeding program.

Said Garelle, “I’m hopeful, as long as we have the habitat. There are only people in the way.

Scientist finds Gulf bottom still oily, dead from BP spill WASHINGTON (AP) — Oil from the BP spill remains stuck on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a top scientist’s video and slides that she says demonstrate the oil isn’t degrading as hoped and has decimated life on parts of the sea floor.

That report is at odds with a recent report by the BP spill compensation czar that said nearly all will be well by 2012.

At a science conference in Washington, marine scientist Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia aired early results of her December submarine dives around the BP spill site.

She went to places she had visited in the summer and expected the oil and residue from oil-munching microbes would be gone by then. It wasn’t.

“There’s some sort of a bottleneck we have yet to identify for why this stuff doesn’t seem to be degrading,” Joye told the American Association for the Advancement of Science

annual conference in Washington. Her research and those of her colleagues contrasts with other studies that show a more optimistic outlook about the health of the gulf, saying microbes did great work munching the oil.

The head of the agency in charge of the health of the Gulf said Saturday that she thought that “most of the oil is gone.” And a Department of Energy scientist, doing research with a grant from BP from before the spill, said his examination of oil plumes in the water column show that microbes have done a “fairly fast” job of eating the oil. Lawrence Berkeley National Lab scientist Terry Hazen said his research differs from Joye’s because they looked at different places at different times.

Joye’s research was more widespread, but has been slower in being published in scientific literature.

In five different expeditions, the last one in December, Joye and col-

ment’s oil compensation fund czar, said based on research he commissioned he figured the Gulf of Mexico would almost fully recover by 2012 — something Joye and Lubchenco said isn’t right.

“I’ve been to the bottom.

I’ve seen what it looks like with my own eyes. It’s not going to be fine by 2012,” Joye told The Associated Press. “You see what the bottom looks like, you have a different opinion.”

NOAA chief Lubchenco said “even though the oil degraded relatively rapidly and is now mostly but not all gone, damage done to a variety of species may not

become obvious for years to come.”

Lubchenco Saturday also announced the start of a Gulf restoration planning process to get the Gulf back to the condition it was on Apr. 19, the day before the spill. That program would eventually be paid for BP and other parties deemed responsible for the spill. This would be separate from an already begun restoration program that would improve all aspects of the Gulf, not just the oil spill, but has not been funded by the government yet, she said.

OPINION

Little from Martinez on restructuring of state gov.

SANTA FE — It doesn’t appear as though the restructuring of state government is going to be a go. It doesn’t save much money and there is no departmental cooperation with the effort.

A changeover in administrations seems like the perfect time for reorganizing. Cabinet secretaries could be hired with the stipulation that they cooperate.

But that evidently was not done.

The reorganization bill passed during last year’s legislature required the cooperation of every Cabinet secretary. But if ever a legislative mandate were completely ignored, this was it.

All departments were asked to meet with legislative staff to provide suggestions about how they could operate more efficiently.

Instead, the meetings resulted in existing departments justifying why operating in exactly the same manner was ideal.

Both Susana Martinez and her general election opponent, Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, supported

restructuring of state government and presented some ideas of their own. Since the election, little has been heard from Martinez on the subject. She has proceeded to appoint secretaries for every department.

That means two things. Lawmakers are going to meet with just as much resistance from the new group of Cabinet secretaries.

And no Cabinet secretary brought in from the other side of the country is likely to go along with a demotion a few months into the job.

Every department has its own problems. The Cultural Affairs Department and Tourism Department were favorite dumping

grounds for Gov. Bill Richardson to unload political employees.

Maybe he figured those jobs were pretty easy. Most anyone can give tours at a museum or stand behind a desk at a trade show.

But the jobs are much more than that. The science of preserving documents and artifacts, while still displaying them for the public requires tremendous competency. Gov. Martinez wants to combine the two.

But she has already hired secretaries for both departments. The new secretaries appeared at a legislative committee meeting recently at which they acknowledged they work well together but saw no reason to combine the two departments.

The Legislature would like to move the Tourism Department into the Economic Development Department. Judging from their performances over the years, it would seem moving economic development under tourism would be a better idea.

New Mexico is a leader in tourism but not economic development. One reason is that the Economic Development Department puts little emphasis on developing New Mexico businesses that already are here.

So restructuring does not appear to be a solution to New Mexico’s financial needs despite considerable effort that has been put into it. Salary cuts have been a solution Gov. Martinez has been willing to impose. The only salaries she can directly affect are those of her political appointees.

She has been willing to do that both by capping Cabinet secretaries at $125,000 and cutting back on the number of political appointees. That will help but she must go further. Her enthusiasm for that seemed to wane when she was asked if she was going to cut her own salary.

Salaries of employees covered by the personal system are harder to get at because of laws passed to make it harder to punish

employees out of political favor.

Not filling vacant positions has been a favorite solution since our fiscal difficulties commenced.

That works only to a certain extent Some employees are crucial to the operation of state government and must be replaced even if it makes some GOP leaders angry that the law is being "flouted."

Further action may be attempted to eliminate double dippers but some exceptions are necessary there too, usually in small communities where it is difficult to find a city engineer or a calculus teacher.

When we finally get through this financial jam, it appears we may not have had to take some of the extreme measures of other states. We just heard of one state where a museum had to start selling some of its treasures.

Jobless benefits

Absurd. Yet, somehow, it makes perfect sense.

Just when you’ve reached your wit’s end regarding news out of Washington, along comes news which pretty much sums up a good deal of foolishness.

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Rep. James Lankford, R-Okla., have introduced legislation that would end the unemployment payments to jobless millionaires.

That’s right — jobless millionaires on the federal dole.

The federal government’s unemployment subsidy for those households earning more than $1 million will end if this legislation passes.

Unemployment insurance is a critical and temporary safety net for Americans who need help in getting by, asserts Udall.

It’s also become a political football between dueling political philosophies of government spending.

According to data provided by the Internal Revenue Service, some 2,840 U.S. households have reported an income of $1 million or more, but were also paid $18.6 million in unemployment benefits.

The bill will save more than $100 million over the next five years as well as take necessary steps that unemployment insurance isn’t misappropriated.

End-of-life care

New guidance from a national association of cancer doctors advances a much-needed idea: When a doctor knows a patient isn’t going to get better, he should let the patient know and lead a discussion with patient and family about options for further care.

The alternative — a tendency to deploy every medical procedure available, regardless of how likely it is to be successful and how much it costs — can lead to pointless suffering and hospital expenses that cripple surviving loved ones.

This is especially true in the treatment of cancer, so a booklet on end-of-life choices developed by the American Society of Clinical Oncology could play an important role in improving the quality and lowering the cost of health care in the U.S. The booklet, distributed to doctors and also available at www.cancer.net, urges oncologists to “take the lead in curtailing the use of ineffective therapy and ensuring a focus on palliative care and relief of symptoms throughout the course of illness.”

Currently, the society estimates that fewer than 40 percent of people with advanced cancer have “realistic conversations” with their doctors about their prognosis for survival and the types of care they could choose.

Though end-of-life conversations are among the most difficult for all participants, honestly discussing the issue can improve the quality of life and ease its end.

Guest Editorial The Columbus Dispatch DEAR DR. GOTT: Could you please talk about transient global amnesia? I have never seen this discussed in your column before. Thank you.

DEAR READER: Transient global amnesia (TGA) is a rare event that causes sudden, temporary loss of memory. It is often accompanied by repetitive questioning. It is not associated with the more common causes of amnesia such as stroke.

For a positive diagnosis, the patient must meet a set of criteria. He or she must retain knowledge of personal identity and have nor mal cognition (naming familiar objects, following simple instructions, etc.); the event must be verified by a witness; there cannot

Barbara Bush: ‘No More, You’re Killing Us’ Former first lady Barbara Bush said on Greta Van Susteren’s “On the Record” this past week: “We’ve got a real problem in public schools. ...

This is a national crisis. It’s as bad as anything in our country.”

When Van Susteren was pointing out from Bush’s own op-ed piece that “Texas (is) 36th in the nation in highschool graduates (and) 3.8 million Texans don’t have a high-school diploma,” Bush said, “No more, you’re killing us.”

—Texas ranks 33rd in the

hands and feet, sweating, trembling, headache, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, chest or neck pain, visual disturbances, flushing or chills, a fear of dying and more.

A typical episode lasts about six hours and does not cause lasting damage. Memory of events that happened during (and occasionally for a few hours prior) typically does not return; however, memory of events that were forgotten before that time is eventually regained.

It is important that anyone who witnesses a person develop sudden extreme memory loss call an ambulance or get the suf ferer to a hospital immediately, because it is much more likely that a seizure or stroke caused the

nation on teacher salaries.

Such low verbal and literacy scores make it even more unbelievable that just this past week, some of the state’s educational administrators joined the feds in seeking to mandate Arabic classes for Texas children. No joke!

The Arabic studies program — funded by a five-year, $1.3 million Foreign Language Assistance Program federal grant — was to begin this semester at Cross T imbers Intermediate School and then spread to neighboring schools in the Mansfield Independent School District.

In most cases, a trigger can be found. The most common include physical or emotional stress, such as strenuous physical activity, sudden immersion in hot or cold water and acute emotional distress, like that caused by a conflict or bad news. Certain medical procedures may also be the trigger. The exact cause of TGA is unknown, but there does appear to be a link between it and migraines in some patients.

In 1938, Anthony Eden resigned as British foreign secretary following Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's decision to negotiate with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini.

In 1944, during World War II, U.S. bombers began raiding German aircraft manufacturing centers in a series of attacks that became known as “Big Week.”

In 1950, the U.S. Supreme Court, in United States v.

“The best is yet to come.” “The possibilities are endless.” “The sun will come up tomorrow.” “The future looks so bright I need to wear shades.” “Someday we will look back at this and laugh.” “Tomorrow is only a day away.”

How much of our life is shaped by the hope for a better future? There is an ancient Roman saying that goes like this “While there’s life, there’s hope.” This statement should be true in each of our lives. If any of us are upright, there is more for each of us to do and there is hope for the future.

A child is born. The parents, the family, the doctor and nurses all wonder what his life will be like. Will he pour himself into others and make a difference in his life ahead or will he choose to become dependent on others and take from them?

A family moves to a new community because one of the parents takes a new job. They wonder what their new world will be like and if they will make friends and fit in.

A man is diagnosed with cancer.

He follows his doctor’s advice to a “T” to fight this condition and to maximize the days he has left. He believes while he still has days to live that a cure will be found for this terrible disease.

A new law is passed by the Legislature designed to hold those who commit crimes accountable for their actions. It is believed that by passing the law, the level of crime will be reduced.

The masses in a country gather together and demonstrate outside government buildings in an effort to bring down the dictator. They believe that if they can dethrone the ruler, their world will be a better place.

In each of these instances, it is the hope for a better future that drives the individuals involved. Hope for the future is a great motivator. In some cases it is all a person has left.

How many people are walking this Earth with the hope that whatever tomorrow brings, it will be better than what exists today?

Whether it is leading your family, your business, your church, or your community, for you to be an effective

leader, you must be able to cast hope for the future. When the going gets tough and this world turns difficult, an effective leader must be able to cast a vision of hope for what lies ahead. Think of the morning after Pearl Harbor, 9/11, the assassination of President Kennedy, or any other major tragedy any of us has experienced. Effective leaders step up and cast hope.

My favorite saying on hope is “the stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the darkest hours.” An effective leader does not wait until the darkest hours to point out the hope that comes from the constant existence of the stars that are often hidden in a bright sky.

In our personal lives, when all else is gone, we still have hope that tomorrow will come and it will be a better day. In interacting with others, be sure that you never deprive someone of hope, it may be all they have.

What does hope do for mankind?

Speaker and best selling author John Maxwell in his book “Think On These Things,” sets forth the power of hope and what it does for each one of us: “Hope shines brightest when the hour is darkest. Hope motivates when discouragement comes. Hope energizes when the body is tired.

Hope sweetens while the bitterness bites.

“Hope sings when all melodies are gone. Hope believes when the evidence is eliminated. Hope listens for answers when no one is talking.

“Hope climbs over obstacles when no one is helping. Hope endures hardship when no one is caring.

Hope smiles confidently when no one is laughing. Hope reaches for answers when no one is asking.

“Hope presses toward victory when no one is encouraging. Hope dares to

give when no one is sharing. Hope brings the victory when no one is winning.”

Words of wisdom on the power of hope. Each of us should be motivated today by the hope of what the future holds.

Many leaders have shared other words of wisdom about hope. Jean Kerr said, “Hope is the feeling you have that the feeling you have isn’t permanent.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. shared, “Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.” John F. Kennedy, “We should not let our fears hold us back from pursuing our hopes.” And Pearl S. Buck, “To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death.”

Joseph Roux ties hope to age saying, “At first we hope too much, later on, not enough.” I truly believe that each of us wants to leave the world a better place than the world we entered.

What is your hope for the future?

Is the best yet to come? If not, why not?

My challenge to you today was best spoken by Albert Einstein, “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.” The emphasis here is the hope for tomorrow. Hope is the engine that drives us from today into tomorrow. Hope should be a key ingredient in who you are. With hope and motivation, there is very little that can stop you.

On a spiritual level, rest assured of the hope we have in God. In the Old Testament book of Isaiah, chapter 46, verse 4 it is written, “Even to your old age and gray hairs, I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you. I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

It is the hope for tomorrow. The best is yet to come.

cans learn to read and write English?

I appreciate Bush’s non-politically correct stance on the primacy of English in America, which she echoed to Van Susteren: "I’m against English as a second language. My great-grandmother came here as a German. She didn’t have someone give her English as a second language. She learned it in three months. It’s survival. And you see it in schools all around now where you’re allowed to speak English only, and you sink or swim.

And they swim, because they’re immigrants from all different countries. I’ve seen a school in Boston where they asked me to read, and I said, ‘Read? They all speak 80 different languages.’ But in three months, they learned English."

What Bush and I (and others in this educational reform movement) are essentially calling all of us to do is fight in a local education Alamo!

children and impede their proper education. You don’t have to have kids to engage in this culture war; you only have to be concer ned about their future — America’s future.

It is people like the 200 parents helping to overtur n that Texas school district’s decision to mandate classes on Arabic who are showing the way. They prove another point Bush made to Van Susteren: “I don’t think gover nment can do everything at all. Parents, grandparents, neighbors, churches, everybody ... we’ve got to get ourselves geared up and not be lazy parents and not be lazy neighbors, but we’ve got to help children.”

The only way to get America and its educational system back on track is to take back the primary role of parenting from teachers and other societal guardians (including Big Brother government). That also includes our not expecting those who lead Sunday schools to be the primary spiritual teachers of our children, rather owning that area of their maturation, as well.

What U.S. educational reform entails is that we all find a place in

the battle. It might mean that you join an influential group that makes decisions in your local schools or pressures those who do.

What I’m saying is this: Be proactive. Don’t wait for first lady Michelle Obama to correct your children’s school diet before you do something about it. Ensure that civic organizations in your area, including tea party groups and churches, are activists for your public schools. Call parishioners out of the pews and into school community outreach.

My wife, Gena, and I are fighting for the next generation, and our life mission is to take physical education up a notch in public schools by offering our KickStart Kids program. For years, we also have supported The Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, and we encourage you to do the same by going to its of ficial website, at www.BarbaraBushFoundation.com.

It all comes down to one question every citizen in our country must answer: Are you spectating or fighting for America’s children in your local education Alamo? © 2011 Chuck Norris

This week’s Roswell SAFE Coalition Safety Column is brought to you

by Copy Rite and the Roswell SAFE Coalition.

Roswell and Chaves County have warmed up from this very cold February, and we’re looking hard at spring and summer. Certainly, we at the Neighborhood Watch organization are looking forward to that time because it is so much easier for us to prepare and present Roswell’s Neighborhood Watch program to interested neighbors. Now is the time to begin that planning, not only for Richard and me, but for you, the citizens of this community.

The Neighborhood Watch Program is a nationally recognized program in which Roswell is heavily committed. We know that our police department is a great organization, efficient and critical to Roswell. But we also realize that law enforcement must rely on the citizens and their neighbors for additional help in curbing crime in our community. Neighborhood Watch is really a simple idea but one which can make a real difference in our community. Pure and simple, it’s a matter of neighbors watching after neighbors … paying attention to what’s going on where you live. You may or may not realize it, but you know a lot about the people who live near you. You know their vehicles, their children and perhaps their friends. You have some idea of the schedule they keep, pets they own, and backyard gates which should be closed.

Knowing such relatively simple things about our neighbors makes each of us effective tools for law enforcement in our community. When

we see out-of-the-ordinary situations next door or down the street, things which are not normal, we can become the first line of defense against crime. A simple phone call may keep our neighbor from becoming a victim of crime.

If you and your neighbors have an interest in forming a Neighborhood Watch where you live, give a call to Steve Wolfe or Richard Lucero at 622-SAFE (7233) or 6224014.

We will be happy to meet with you and your neighbors to explain the program, answer your questions and concerns, and help you make your neighborhood a little safer. The cost is zero and the payof f can be huge.

In the near future, we’ll spend this column on another important tool for fighting crime in Roswell — the Chaves County Crime Stoppers.

A call to Crime Stoppers with solid information about a crime or a fugitive could make the caller eligible for an award of up to $1,000, and no one will know who made the call. It is a completely anonymous call. 1-888-594-TIPS (8477).

Thinking about setting up a Neighborhood Watch? Call Richard and Steve at 622-SAFE (7233) for information. And don’t forget, the number for Chaves County Crime Stoppers is 1-888-594TIPS (8477).

Cosmic census finds crowd of planets in our galaxy Roswell Daily Record

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists have estimated the first cosmic census of planets in our galaxy and the numbers are astronomical: at least 50 billion planets in the Milky Way. At least 500 million of those planets are in the not-too-hot, not-too-cold zone where life could exist.

The numbers were extrapolated from the early results of NASA’s planet-hunting Kepler telescope.

Kepler science chief William Borucki says scientists took the number of planets they found in the first year of searching a small part of the night sky and then made an estimate on how likely stars are to

to a press release issued Saturday by the El Paso Police Department.

El Paso Police have arrested and charged David Quinonez, 26, with the murder of Jimmy Romero, 32.

Police say Romero was driving a red Dodge Neon, with Quinonez in the front passenger seat and female witness as the back seat passenger. The woman was not injured.

The three had driven to El Paso to pick up an inbound relative of the female witness. The police report indicates that Romero and the suspect had engaged in an altercation, and that the suspectproduced a handgun and shot Romero in the upper

have planets. Kepler spots planets as they pass between Earth and the star it orbits.

So far Kepler has found 1,235 candidate planets, with 54 in the Goldilocks zone, where life could possibly exist. Kepler’s main mission is not to examine individual worlds, but give astronomers a sense of how many planets, especially potentially habitable ones, there are likely to be in our galaxy. They would use the one-four-hundredth of the night sky that Kepler is looking at and extrapolate from there.

Borucki and colleagues figured one of two stars has planets and one of 200 als.

It’s being opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union, which helped strike down a similar curfew attempt by the city of Albuquerque in the 1990s.

Despite the obstacles, Jurney says the proposal would help keep youth safe and could greatly benefit local communities.

“I don’t want to limit freedoms, he said in the e-mail. “I do, however, want to encourage the ability of municipalities to create a safer environment for our youth.”

torso. The suspect exited the vehicle and fled.

Romero and the female passenger continued in the vehicle as it rolled into the short-ter m parking entrance driveway and came to rest after striking a raised rock wall. The female exited the vehicle and fled. She was detained

by El Paso Police near the main entrance to the airport.

El Paso Police located the suspect at the front of the airport and pursued him in a foot chase.

Quinonez was placed under arrest at the scene and subsequently booked into the El Paso County Jail on the charge of murder with a bond of $200,000.

Romero died at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. about the hounds.”

“It’s all about picking up a trail,” she said.

stars has planets in the habitable zone, announcing these ratios Saturday at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual conference in Washington. And that’s a minimum because these stars can have more than one planet and Kepler has yet to get a long enough glimpse to see planets that are further out from the star, like Earth, Borucki said.

For example, if Kepler were 1,000 light years from Earth and looking at our sun and noticed Venus passing by, there’s only a one-in-eight chance that Earth would also be seen, astronomers said.

To get the estimate for the total number of planets, scientists then took the frequency observed already and applied it to the number of stars in the Milky Way. For many years scientists figured there were 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, but last year a Yale scientist figured the number was closer to 300 billion stars.

Either way it shows that Carl Sagan was right when he talked of billions and billions of worlds, said retired NASA astronomer Steve Maran, who praised the research but wasn’t part of it.

And that’s just our galaxy. Scientists figure

Wide dif ferences that don’t seem to be bridged soon will mean that lawmakers face the prospect of a temporary spending bill when the current one expires March 4.

Senate Democrats and House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, are maneuvering for political advantage in anticipation of talks on a short-ter m extension.

Democrats say Boehner’s insistence that any measure carry spending cuts amounts to an ultimatum that could threaten a government shutdown. Such

In almost every case, the measure sides with business groups over environmental activists and federal regulators.

“This is like a Cliff Notes summary of every issue that the Republicans, the Chamber of Commerce, and the (free market) CATO Institute have pushed for 30 years,” said Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass.

an impasse played to the advantage of Democratic President Bill Clinton in his battles with Republicans in 1995-1996.

The Obama administration upped the ante on Friday, warning that workers who distribute Social Security benefits might face furloughs if the GOP cuts go through.

Across four long days of debate, freewheeling Republicans left their conservative stamp in other ways.

They took several swipes at Obama’s year-old health care law, including a vote to ban federal dollars for putting it into effect. At the behest of anti-abortion lawmakers, they called for an end to federal money for Planned Parenthood.

Republicans awarded the Pentagon an increase of less than 2 percent

increase, but domestic agencies would endure cuts of about 12 percent. Such reductions would feel almost twice as deep since they would be spread over the final seven months of the budget year.

Republicans back away from some of the most politically difficult cuts to grants to local police and fire departments, special education and economic development. Amtrak supporters repelled an attempt to slash its budget.

About the only victory scored by Obama was on a vote to cancel $450 million for a costly alter native engine for the Pentagon’s next-generation F-35 warplane. It was a priority of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and passed with the votes of many GOP conservatives who opposed the $3 billion program.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry knows what a win over a top-ranked team can do for her team.

“I thinked we upped our resume today,” Curry said Saturday after the Lady Raiders’ 56-45 win over No. 1 Baylor.

The win snapped the Lady Bears’ 21-game win streak and gave Texas Tech back-to-back victories over Top 25 teams. This was the first time a No. 1 team lost to an unranked since Jan. 26, 2006, when Kentucky beat top-ranked Tennessee 66-63.

Baylor last lost in November to Connecticut.

Casey Morris, who led Texas Tech with 13 points, said the team believed it could win. The Lady Raiders (19-7, 6-6 Big 12), who beat No. 20 Iowa State 61-50 on Tuesday, play their third ranked team Tuesday night at No. 5 Texas A&M. The win evened a loss in Lubbock last year when Brittney Griner was ejected for punching a Texas Tech player.

Griner finished with 15 points and six rebounds to lead Baylor (24-2, 11-1).

RECORD STAFF REPORT

RIO RANCHO — Goddard’s David Anaya and J.T. Menchaca finished their 2010-11 wrestling campaigns on Saturday with runner-up finishes at the NMAA State Wrestling Championships at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.

Anaya, who won both his matches on Friday in dominating fashion, got to the 171-pound title match with a 6-0 decision over Moriarty’s Jacob Griego in the championship semifi-

nals.

In the title bout, the score was the same, but Anaya came out on the losing end to Santa Fe’s Daniel Salvidrez.

The junior finished 29-5 on the season.

Menchaca (Hwt.) earned his spot in the championship tilt with a 4-3 decision over Atrisco Heritage’s Ismael Chavez in the semifinals. In the finals, Farmington’s Cody Begay pinned Menchaca just more than a minute into the second period to claim the gold.

A quick glance at everything but the score on the stat sheet from the New Mexico Military Institute men’s basketball team’s game against Clarendon College might make you think the Broncos came out on top.

The Broncos outshot and outrebounded Clarendon by double figures in each category, but came out on the short side of the most important stat of any game — total points.

The Bulldogs erased a nine-point deficit in the final 8 minutes and handed the Broncos a 101-98 setback inside Cahoon Armory.

Menchaca capped a 35-5 senior campaign with the loss.

Goddard’s Luis Terrazas (189) was the next highest finisher among the 11 area wrestlers still alive on Day 2 of the tournament.

Terrazas lost his Day 2 opener to Moriarty’s Curtis Apodaca by a 3-2 decision, but answered with a 14-0 major decision win over Atrisco Heritage’s Billy Ray Valdez to earn a spot in the consolation championship.

NMMI’s McCurdy seventh in 100 fly RECORD STAFF REPORTS

ALBUQUERQUE — Marshall McCurdy had a strong showing for NMMI in the finals for both the 100-yard butterfly and 200-yard freestyle.

A day after breaking the school record in the 100, McCurdy finished with a time of 55.51 seconds, which would have broken the old school record and was good enough for seventh in the finals. Stephen Klein, from Albuquerque Academy, won the 100 with a time of 51.51.

In the 200, he swam a 1:51.54, which placed him eighth overall. Jack Feely, from St. Pius X, won the 200 with a time

of 1:43.43.

NMMI coach Jan Olesinski said that McCurdy enjoyed his time at state.

“He did great,” he said.

“He set two school records and had personal bests in both races.

He was very excited and started the races very strong, but couldn’t keep the pace. He tried to compete with them in the 200, but after the 100 he got a little tired and couldn’t keep up with them.

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

When things go wrong on the field of play, there is usually an easily identifiable scapegoat.

Whether it be poor passing, inept special teams play or blown layups there is something that blame can be placed upon.

For the NMMI men’s baseball team on Saturday, the blame could be spread out.

The Broncos struggled at the plate, from the mound and in the field and lost two games to Dodge City Community College.

NMMI lost Game 1, 9-5, and dropped the night cap 14-0 in five innings.

Game 1 In the first game, NMMI fell behind early thanks to a questionable call by the umpires.

The Broncos’ starting pitcher, Javier Sanchez, started off the game by retiring the first two Conquistador batters.

Sanchez allowed a base hit to Mitchell Corwin, but appeared to have the third out in hand when he forced a ground ball by Cody Voelker.

Bronco shortstop Joshua Loera was unable to handle the ground ball, however, and Voelker reached base on the error.

After Dodge City’s Evan Krist drew a walk, the bases were loaded with two away.

That’s when Sanchez appeared to pick off Corwin at third base, but the home plate umpire ruled that Sanchez had balked, which plated Corwin and gave the Conquistadors a 1-0 lead.

Sanchez got the final out with no more damage, but the balk call affected him for

James and the East All-Stars will battle the West in the NBA All-Star Game, today.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant needed only a quick survey of the AllStar rosters for the names to jump out at him.

“We’r e playing the Celtics and the Heat,” he said. “And the Hawks.”

Forget that last one. It’s those first two that should spice up Sunday night’s game on Bryant’s home floor, particularly the presence of a record-tying four players fr om that hated team in green.

“I think ther e will be some boos in the stands.

I’m expecting that,” said San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich, who will coach the Western Conference.

Boston’s Doc Rivers will lead an East team that includes Kevin Gar nett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo. He also gets Miami’s Big Three, including LeBr on James and Dwyane Wade in his starting lineup.

instead of the previously announced time to alleviate traffic congestion and allow for the emptying of the gymnasium.

The Portales and Lovington boys basketballs teams will play a tiebreaker game to determine the top seed in the District 4-3A tournament at 5:30 p.m. at Cahoon Armory.

After the conclusion of the 5:30 p.m. game, the gymnasium must be cleared and fans for the Goddard-Roswell game will be permitted to enter Cahoon Armory.

Tickets for the game will be on sale from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at both Goddard and Roswell high schools on Tuesday.

hard as it is, we’ll kind of put the rivalries and the dislikes aside for the better of the fans and the better of the game,” James said.

Rivers is glad to hear it — even if he doesn’t necessarily buy it.

“I’ve always been amazed by it, even when you know guys don’t like each other,” he said. “In this case, I don’t know if that’s true, but there are certain guys on different teams that don’t like each other. And then they’re in the All-Star game. I’ve always laughed when you see ’em like laughing and joking. You know, boy, they’re so ... phony right now. That’s what you want to say. But that’s good. As long as we win the All-Star game, too, that’ll be fine.”

Joining Bryant in the West lineup will be the Hornets’ Chris Paul, NBA scoring leader Kevin Durant of Oklahoma City, Denver’s Carmelo Anthony — yes, he’s still in the West, at least for now — and a player of Popovich’s choosing to replace Houston center Yao Ming, who was voted in by fans despite being injured.

Popovich could pick Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki or the Lakers’ Pau Gasol.

He could even choose the other hometown All-Star, Clippers forwar d Blake Griffin, who became the first rookie since Yao in 2003 to be picked for the All-Star game.

Grif fin headlines the field for the slam dunk contest during All-Star Saturday night, and his high-flying style should fit per fectly in Sunday’s game, wher e defense is usually absent for the first 3 1/2 quarters. Setting up the hometown player is an All-Star game tradition, so what do you think, rook?

“I heard there’s another

hometown guy,” Grif fin said with a laugh.

That would be Bryant, who returns in front of his frenzied fans after having to sit out last year’s game at Dallas Cowboys Stadium with an ankle injury. A three-time MVP of the AllStar game, he is one shy of the record held by Bob Pettit.

Wade won last year, and James earned the award while helping the East win two of the previous four contests. They could be even better together on the All-Star stage after a halfseason as teammates in Miami — and would be OK with sharing the celebration with the Celtics.

“Every All-Star that I’ve been to, guys always put the season aside and focus on that weekend,” Wade said. “Being an AllStar, when you’re there, it’s special. It’s special to look around in that locker room and say, ‘Man, I’m blessed to be one of the best players that this game has to offer.’ It’s just a special time.”

As usual, there’s business along with the festivities. Representatives from the owners and players will meet Friday to discuss a new collective bargaining agreement to replace the one that expires June 30.

They’ve made no progress since a heated meeting last year in Dallas, but hope more frequent talks over the next few months will prevent a work stoppage.

And perhaps Denver will move closer to finding a deal for Anthony, who has refused to sign the contract extension they offered him last summer, forcing them to consider trading their leading scorer before Thursday’s deadline to avoid losing him for nothing when he becomes a free agent in July.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blake Griffin leaped over a car and threw down a twohanded dunk to the accompaniment of a gospel choir, winning the slam dunk contest in iconic style before his hometown fans on All-Star Saturday.

The Los Angeles Clippers’

the All-Star weekend’s silly Saturday: Griffin has both the raw athleticism and the showtime flair to be the NBA’s next big star.

With an entire building solidly behind Griffin, finalist Javale McGee of Washington and Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan really did

not stand a chance despite their own creative dunks at Staples Center.

Earlier, Miami’s James Jones held of f Boston teammates Paul Pierce and Ray Allen to win his first 3point shootout, and Golden State’s Stephen Curry won the Skills Challenge.

But All-Star Saturday was a showcase for Griffin, who started the contest with an irresistibly 360degree spin dunk before converting a bounce pass of f the side of the backboard in the first round.

The first rookie All-Star in eight years then brought back an impossibly difficult favorite with his first dunk of the final, sticking his ar m into the hoop and hanging from it by his elbow, just as Vince Carter did while winning the 2000 contest.

And when fans saw the car driving out of the arena tunnel, this contest already seemed to be over.

Griffin is in the midst of the busiest All-Star weekend in the NBA’s recent history. He scored 14 points in the Rookie Challenge, and he stayed in the dunk contest even after getting chosen for the West squad in Sunday’s main event.

The forward from Oklahoma is averaging 22.8 points and 12.6 rebounds as the strong rookie of the year favorite for the Clippers, but he’s best known around the world for his astonishing dunking skills, combining the hops of a guard with a center’s raw strength.

All four dunkers distinguished themselves in Hol-

Rivers said.

Chicago’s Derrick Rose, Orlando’s Dwight Howard and New York’s Amar e Stoudemire are the other East starters, with Atlanta’s Joe Johnson and Al Horford rounding out the r eserves. But most eyes will be on the Celtics and Heat, both of whom alr eady won at Staples Center this season.

Bryant denied gaining extra motivation from seeing them again, insisting he gets up to play anybody. But Lakers fans might feel dif fer ently if Rivers goes ahead with his previously mentioned plan and puts the four Celtics on the floor together.

“Four of them going out there, it might get your

blood going,” said former Celtics All-Star and current Turner Sports analyst Kevin McHale. “I’m sure they’ll look out and think the Celtics are invading again.”

The Lakers beat the Celtics in Game 7 of last year’s NBA finals at Staples Center. An exhibition game could never replace that, but Rivers and his players would love to walk off their longtime rivals’ court as winners ahead of the chance they r eally want in June.

That will r equir e the Celtics and Heat, developing their own rivalry, to play nice for a night.

James said that’s no problem, r ecalling that his East winners in 2006 had four Detroit Pistons, the only other team to have four players picked by the coaches as reserves.

“For that weekend, as

Carmelo Anthony goes in for a layup during a recent game.

Anthony joins Kobe Bryant and the rest of the West All-Stars in today’s NBA All-Star Game.

The events Satur day include the 3-point contest, wher e Pier ce and Allen could go head-tohead. Pierce is the defending champion, Allen won a decade ago and will be back on the floor where he set an NBA finals record last year by making eight 3-pointers in Game 2.

They’ve exchanged some playful trash talk, but the feud with the Heat that has to be set aside the next night is real.

“I don’t think you truly relax and say, ‘Hey, we’re best buddies,’ because we’re in the All-Star game together,” Allen said.

“There’s an honest camaraderie amongst all of the

players, but ther e’s a hatred that exists.”

McHale predicts some players will get caught up trying to dazzle what’s sur e to be the usual celebrity-filled crowd Sunday night, especially if the game becomes one-sided.

But if it’s tight, he and Popovich agree that both teams will be focused on trying to win it.

“I think these guys are pretty happy to be doing what they’re doing, but if the game is close and it’s down the stretch, I think they’ll go after each other and play to win, I really do,” Popovich said.

“They’re all competitors, that’s what they do.”

lywood, showing planning and invention in what’s sometimes a slapdash event — but Griffin was the overwhelming favorite for nearly every All-Star gathered at Staples Center, and he didn’t disappoint.

After DeRozan opened the contest by catching a pass off the backboard and putting it between his legs for a slick one-handed jam, Serge Ibaka took the court amid several banners for NBA Africa and promptly threw down a Dr. J-style long-jump dunk from the free-throw line.

McGee then got creative, ordering a second basket standard attached to a forklift and placed right next to the hoop. After several misses, he managed to throw down a left-handed dunk while tossing the other ball off the backboard

to himself for a right-handed jam, earning a perfect 50.

After several misses on his second attempt, Griffin caught a pass off the side of the backboard from Davis for a one-handed jam that was enough to send him into the second round.

McGee joined him after dunking three balls on the same leap, slapping home a pass for the third jam.

DeRozan couldn’t make the final round despite an impressive second dunk in which he threw a pass to himself off the backboard for a windmill reverse jam.

After Griffin’s elbow dunk in the final, McGee floated under neath the rim and threw down an impossibly twisting jam from the other side.

That’s when Griffin rolled out his wheels.

Clippers’ Blake Griffin leaps car to win slam dunk contest rookie caught a pass out of the sunroof from teammate Baron Davis and easily cleared the 2011 Kia Optima’s hood while the Crenshaw Select Choir sang “I Believe I Can Fly” at midcourt.

son-high with 34 points and Roswell raced out to a 45-21 halftime lead en route to a win in its regularseason finale on Saturday.

“Our defense was pretty good. We didn’t let up,” said Coyote coach Britt Cooper.

“Everyone came out healthy and that’s what I was hoping for.

“It took us about 3 minutes to get on track, then all of a sudden, we started playing and got the press working. We had a real solid first half.”

Roswell capped the win with a 28-point explosion in the final quarter.

Jonathan Ervin poured in 21 for Roswell (19-5) and Malcolm Wiggins had 13 as 10 of Roswell’s 12 scored on the night.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Matson dies at 80

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ollie Matson, a Hall of Fame running back who was once traded for nine players during his 14-year NFL career and won two medals at the 1952 Olympics, has died. He was 80.

Matson died Saturday of respiratory failure surrounded by family at his home in Los Angeles, his nephew Art Thompson III told The Associated Press.

Thompson said Matson had been mostly bedridden for several years due to a form of dementia. He said Matson hadn’t spoken in four years.

As a senior at the University of San Francisco, Matson led the nation in rushing yardage and touchdowns while leading the Dons to an undefeated season. He was the No. 1 pick of the Chicago Cardinals and third overall in the 1952 NFL draft, and went on to share rookie of the year honors with Hugh McElhenny of the 49ers.

Matson played with the Cardinals from 1952-58 before being traded to the Los Angeles Rams for nine players. He made the cover of Sports Illustrated in 1957.

He spent 1959-62 with the Rams, then played a single season for the Detroit Lions before finishing his career with Philadelphia from 1964-66.

Matson was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1972, and into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1976. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection, winning MVP of the 1956 game. He also made the All-Pro team seven times.

Matson earned a silver medal in the 1,600-meter relay and a bronze in the 400 meters at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics.

Born May 1, 1930, in Trinity, Texas, Ollie Genoa Matson II moved to San Francisco when he was in high school. After graduation from George Washington High, where he developed into one of the city’s greatest prep athletes, he enrolled at City College of San Francisco. He spent one year there before transferring to USF.

Cornhuskers upsets No. 3 Longhorns, 70-67

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Count Texas among those very impressed by Nebraska’s upset of the No. 3 Longhorns.

Brandon Richardson hit a pair of free throws with 7.2 seconds left to seal the Cornhuskers’ 70-67 win on Saturday. Nebraska hadn’t beaten a team ranked in the top three since knocking off No. 3 Missouri 9891 in the 1994 Big Eight Conference tournament.

After Texas’ 3-point attempt fell short at the buzzer, Nebraska students stor med the court and hoisted players on their shoulders. “Man, what a great game,� Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. “How can you not be excited? It’s a great day for us.�

The Cornhuskers’ second win over a Top 25 opponent this season broke Texas’ school record Big 12 winning streak at 11 games.

Nebraska downed then-No. 13 Texas A&M 57-48 on Jan. 29.

Texas coach Rick Barnes said this one wasn’t a fluke. “There’s no question Nebraska deserves all the credit because they were a terrific team today,� he said. “Doc Sadler is one of the great guys in this business, and it couldn’t have happened to a better guy. If this helps them to the NCAA tournament, then it would be great for him. The fans were great, and they definitely deserved to win the game.�

Richardson led Nebraska with 15 points, 10 in the second half. Toney McCray added 14.

Nebraska fans storm the court after the Cornhuskers upset No. 3 Texas, Saturday.

Jordan Hamilton and Brown each had 18 to top Texas. Cory Joseph had 13.

Nebraska (18-8, 6-6 Big 12), which trailed by seven points at halftime, took a 64-53 lead on Lance Jeter’s driving layup with 2:35 left.

But the Cornhuskers made just six of 11 free throws in the last two minutes to help Texas get back in it. “We made it much tougher than we could have,� Sadler said. “They made some plays. You’re not going to just go beat teams like that. “We just needed to make some free throws.�

Texas (23-4, 11-1) went

on a 12-1 run, making seven of nine free throws and adding a pair of baskets. Alexis Wangmere’s free throws tied it 65-65 with 1:07 remaining.

Richardson sank a pair of foul shots with 43.5 seconds remaining to put Nebraska back in front, and Drake Beranek made one of two with 24.7 seconds left.

Texas’ J’Covan Brown made two of three free throws with 12.6 seconds remaining to cut the deficit to one, but his 3-point attempt at the buzzer fell short.

Johnnies upset another Top 10 team

NEW YORK (AP) — Madison Square Garden has been a second home to St. John’s basketball teams over the past eight decades.

This current team has turned the building at 33rd Street and Eighth Avenue into a house of horrors for highly ranked teams.

The latest of the Red Storm’s five wins over teams regarded as the best in the country was a heart-stopping, come-frombehind thriller over No. 4 Pittsburgh that has the players thinking of joining the ranks of the ranked themselves.

Dwight Hardy’s underhanded flip with 1.2 seconds left Saturday gave the Red Storm a 60-59 victory, their fifth this season over a team that spent time in the top 10 — and all of them have been at Madison Square Garden.

Hardy, who finished with 19 points, started his drive near midcourt, went past Gilbert Brown twice as he defended him on the right side of the court. He went to the baseline and underhanded the ball up and over the rim to give the Red Storm (17-9, 9-5 Big East) another highly ranked victim in Madison Square Garden. “I knew the ball was going to be in my hands during the timeout,� said Hardy, who has scored over 30 points twice in the last five games. “Once I couldn’t make my initial move, I just had to go with my instincts, not think, and I had a layup with reverse spin, made the shot and no one was on my side. When I saw that, I elevated as quick as I could so no one could come over and block it.�

St. John’s has beat then-No. 13 Georgetown, No. 9 Notre Dame, No. 3 Duke and No. 10 Connecticut, all big wins in the eyes of the NCAA tournament selection committee and the Red Storm are looking for their first bid since 2002.

Gibbs, who missed the last three games

with an MCL injury to his left knee, came back in a big way for the Panthers (24-3, 12-2), who had won five straight overall and five in a row over St. John’s. The junior guard finished with a career-high 26 points and was 6 of 9 from the 3-point line, matching Pittsburgh’s total number of 3s in his absence. “I knew my knee was fine,� he said. “It was a tough loss. We had so many chances to win in the last three minutes. We slipped up and lost on our own.�

Pitt led 56-51 with 3:20 to play on a jumper by Brad Wannaker. That was the Panthers’ last field goal until the final 11 seconds.

Hardy’s winner was the eighth lead change of the second half and it was tied five times. It was also the Red Storm’s only field goal in the final 6 minutes as they went 10 of 12 from the free-throw line in that span.

Travon Woodall hit the only 3 not from Gibbs with 11.3 seconds left to give the Panthers a 59-58 lead. After a timeout by Pittsburgh, St. John’s started a final play and Hardy delivered. “I was proud how we handled things down the stretch,� Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said. “Travon made a great shot and we put ourselves in a good position. Give credit to them for taking a tough shot and getting it to fall.�

Gibbs, the sixth-leading scorer in the Big East with a 16.3 average, didn’t start but had 15 points in as many minutes in the first half.

His 3.2 3-pointers per game is sixth in the nation, and his 46.3 percent accuracy is seventh. He missed the Panthers’ wins over West Virginia, Villanova and South Florida. Without Gibbs, the Panthers were 6 of 29 on 3s, well off their 38.3 percent that leads the Big East.

confident Texas could come back, even though the Longhorns were trailing by double figures with less than two minutes to go. “There was never a doubt in my mind,� he said. “I think (Nebraska) shot a great percentage in the second half. They played really hard. The crowd got into it.

They got loud. We missed some shots, I missed some easy shots, and some wide open looks, even in the first half. That was the outcome.�

The Cornhuskers were every bit as confident, even when they were down at halftime.

“It was as positive as we’ve ever been in the locker room,� McCray said. “Nobody was rattled, nobody was discouraged or nothing like that. It was almost like we was up. I don’t want to sound stupid, but I didn’t even know the score. We knew it was going to be a 40-minute game.�

Nebraska hit seven of its first eight shots in the second half and took a 40-38 lead on Andre Almeida’s tip-in with 16:29 remaining. It was the first time Texas had trailed in seven games.

The Huskers got back-toback layups from Richard-

son, and Almeida’s lefthanded hook made it 50-42 with 11:39 left. Nebraska’s biggest lead was 11, the last time after Jeter’s layup.

The burst came after Sadler changed Nebraska’s of fense and put centers Almeida and Jorge Brian Diaz on the blocks to get them one-on-one coverage and open up driving lanes. “They were not ready for me and Brian on the post,�

Almeida said. “I don’t know when was the last time we’ve run that offense. We tried it one time, and it worked. The second time it worked. We just kept going with it.�

Nebraska hit 56 percent of its shots in the second half against Texas, which had held Big 12 opponents to 36.4 percent shooting before Saturday.

The Longhor ns, who entered having made 49 percent of their shots in conference play, sank only 36 percent against Nebraska, which packed the lane and kept Texas from running in transition.

Nebraska dominated the paint, outscoring Texas 3814. The Cornhuskers also held a 39-34 edge in rebounds. “They totally dominated the second half of the game. They got whatever they wanted inside,�

Barnes said. “When you get beat 38-14 in the lane, you will probably lose some games there. We didn’t have a great day shooting the ball. “We just weren’t very good, and they spread the court out and took advantage of that.�

WVU knocks off No. 7 Irish

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Truck Bryant broke out of a slump by scoring 24 points, West Virginia took command early in the second half and beat No. 8 Notre Dame 72-58 on Saturday, ending the Irish’s seven-game winning streak.

Joe Mazzulla added 16 points, and Kevin Jones had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Mountaineers (17-9, 8-6 Big East), who got a badly needed win against a ranked opponent to prop up their NCAA tournament hopes.

Ben Hansbrough led Notre Dame (21-5, 10-4) with 19 points before fouling out. Carleton Scott added 11 points and Tyrone Nash scored 10.

West Virginia scored 46 points after halftime after shooting just 29 percent (8 of 28) before the break. The Mountaineers committed a season-low five turnovers.

The Irish were trying to match their best conference record through 14 conference games, set in 200001, but shot just 35 percent (21 of 60) for the game.

West Virginia had been struggling since its high mark of the season, a 6864 win over No. 11 Purdue on Jan. 16 that pushed its record to 12-4. They had lost five of nine entering Saturday.

Bryant single-handedly turned things around. He had shot 24 percent from the floor and averaged six points over his last five games, but went 5 of 11 against Notre Dame — and 10 of 12 from the foul line — as the Mountaineers outscored the Irish 20-8 on free throws.

West Virginia has a tough task to finish the regular season with games at No. 4 Pittsburgh and Rutgers, then home contests against No. 13 Connecticut and No. 16 Louisville.

Notre Dame led 27-26 at halftime but went through a couple scoring droughts early in the second half.

Hansbough was held without a field goal for the first 12 minutes of the second half. By then, West Virginia had taken command.

Baddeley sneaks past Couples into NTO lead Roswell Daily Record

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Fred Couples was starting to show his age Saturday at Riviera.

He hit a poor wedge, knocked a putt over the back of the green and turned a potential birdie into bogey on the 10th hole to slip three shots behind Aaron Baddeley in the Northern Trust Open. Then came a pounding rain as Couples approached the toughest stretch of the course, and the 51year-old with an aching back braced for the worst.

“I was thinking, ’What am i going to shoot on the back nine, 40?”’ Couples said.

“You start playing like those guys did yesterday in that weather, anything would have happened.”

Something did. The rain stopped. Couples played the rest of the way in 1-under par, keeping alive his hopes of another win at Riviera, and a chance to become the oldest PGA Tour winner in more than 35 years.

Even in good weather, it might not be easy.

Baddeley, whose career once held so much promise when he won the Australian Open as an 18-year-old amateur, is starting to hit his stride since returning to longtime swing coach Dale Lynch. He played 22 holes on Saturday in all kinds of weather and hit just about every shot where he was aiming, including a few putts.

He birdied the 18th in the morning chill to finish off a second-round 69, then ran off three straight birdies around the turn that led to a 4-under 67 and his first 36hole lead on the PGA Tour in five years.

Baddeley was at 10-under 203, one shot clear of Couples and Kevin Na, who grew up in Southern California and attended his first PGA Tour event at Riviera in 1995 when he was an 11-year -old with big dreams. Na also shot a 67.

“Tomorrow is going to be a good challenge for all of us,” Baddeley said.

Winless in four years, Baddeley probably could not have guessed that the challenge would come from a couple of guys who are nearly old enough to be his father.

Diamond

Couples, who joined the PGA Tour the year Baddeley was born, wound up with a 70.

One shot behind was Vijay Singh, who turns 48 on Tuesday and is trying to climb out of the worst slump of his career. He felt like the world’s best putter in the third round, finishing with a birdie on the tough 18th for a 67.

Singh last won in 2008 at the Deutsche Bank Championship on his way to the FedEx Cup title.

“I’m really fired up for tomorrow,” Singh said. “I’m in a good position to win tomorrow, so we’ll see what happens.”

Baddeley’s last victory was in 2007 at the Phoenix Open. Later that year, he had a two-shot lead going into the final round of the U.S. Open at Oakmont, only to close with an 80. His game was in such disarray that he has plunged to No. 224 in the world ranking.

“It’s been a little bit of time since I’ve been in this position, so I’m excited for the challenge,” Baddeley said. “I’m excited to test out the new action, and I feel good. I feel like it’s going to be fun tomorrow.”

Baddeley was among those who went to the “Stack and Tilt” method taught by Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer, then decided to go back to his Australian coach, Dale Lynch.

“It’s funny because I feel like I’ve been actually making a lot of progress, but it was never really showing on the scoreboard,” Baddeley said. “So these last few weeks have really been nice to start to put some scores on the board. This week has been really nice.”

And there was one nice stretch in particular.

It started with a tough approach to the par-4 eighth, where Baddeley had to be careful not to be too aggressive and run off the slope on the other side of the pin. He put it to within 8 feet for birdie, then holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the ninth. He nearly drove the 10th green, leaving him a delicate pitch to tap-in range for his third straight birdie.

One of his few mistakes was a tee shot

the rest of the game.

“I think the first balk call that was called on him affected his whole day,” said NMMI coach Bret Simmermacher. “He was upset about what happened in the first inning.

That is something you have to forget about. That is not a play that you use in the first inning. The hitter ended up grounding out if we just go after the hitter.”

In the bottom of the second inning, NMMI grabbed the lead with clutch hitting.

Jaime Vargas led off the home half of the second by getting hit by a pitch, but the next two Bronco batters flew out.

Vargas advanced to second on a wild pitch and was driven home by a single up the middle by Neil Jaquez.

Jaquez then stole second and moved over to third on an error.

He gave the Broncos a 2-1 lead when he scored on a base knock by Robert Orona.

The lead would be shortlived.

In the Conquistadors’ next at bat they reclaimed the lead for good.

Luke Slentz got the rally started with a one-out double to the wall in rightcenter field.

Another balk on Sanchez moved Slentz to third and he tied the game up when he scored on a groundout by Corwin.

Voelker followed that up with a homer to center that gave Dodge City a 3-2 lead.

Simmermacher said that Sanchez was frustrated and that his team can’t give up leads like that.

“I think (Javier) is getting a bit frustrated that we aren’t putting any runs on the board behind him,” Simmermacher said. “We come in and score a couple of runs, then give a couple of runs and we can’t do that.”

After NMMI went down in order in the third, Dodge City tacked on four more runs in the fourth to take a 7-2 lead.

that led to an adventure through the trees on the par-5 11th. It looked as though he would escape with par when he hit a wedge out of the rough to 4 feet, but he missed the putt.

He finished with seven straight pars.

Ryan Moore (70) and John Senden (71) were at 6-under 207, while Stewart Cink (71) and Robert Allenby (71) were part of the large group another shot behind.

Defending champion Steve Stricker made the cut on the number, then had a 66. That still left him seven shots behind.

Stricker is still closer than Phil Mickelson, who struggled to a 74 and was at 2-over 215.

The gallery was with Couples, who first won at Riviera in 1990 when his hair was brown and he ambled along with California cool. Couples still has the cool factor to go with his graying hair, and he still has enough game.

He narrowly missed a 15-foot eagle putt on the opening hole. He made only one

ging out of an 11-point hole in the opening half.

With 7:58 remaining, Jon Marsh hit a free throw to give the Broncos their third lead of nine points on the evening.

And that’s when it all went wrong for NMMI. The Broncos went 0 for 2 from the field and turned it over twice on their next four possessions, allowing Clarendon to draw within two with 5:17 remaining.

steal, but the Conquistadors answered with a run of their own during their next at bat.

NMMI made it interesting in its last at bat, scoring two runs via a basesloaded walk and hit by pitch.

With the bases loaded and nobody out, however, the Broncos weren’t able to get a clutch hit and they left the bases loaded.

The game marked the season opener for Dodge City, but Simmermacher said it looked like his team was the one making its debut.

“We looked like the team that is opening this weekend,” he said. “It was a total reversal. They should have been the ones that were feeling the pressure.

For some reason, we put pressure on ourselves.

“We just couldn’t get it done. We had our chances and we tried to make it somewhat of a ballgame.”

Game 2 Things didn’t go any better for the Broncos in the second game.

Dodge City scored three runs in the first inning and plated five more in the second to take an 8-0 lead.

The NMMI bats could never get going against

Conquistador starting pitcher Andrew White, who didn’t allow a hit during the abbreviated five-inning game.

Simmermacher said that his team was pressing at the plate in the second game.

“I think it is more pressing,” he said. “I thought we did a pretty good job of allowing only three runs in the first. But then we go down pretty much onetwo-three and the next thing you know, we’re down eight runs. They were beating themselves up, knowing the guy has not given up a hit.

“Instead of being patient, we pressed. When we were down 8-0, we still had 15 outs left. With an aluminum bat, it is not impossible to come back.”

Despite the two losses, Simmermacher said that the beauty of baseball is there’s always another game.

“I let them know that the sun will come up tomorrow,” he said. “That is the beautiful thing about baseball. We just have to play better than they do tomorrow. It’s not rocket science. We just have to do the fundamentals correctly.” l.foster@roswell-record.com

other birdie on the par-5 11th, and otherwise settled for pars except for his lone bogey. It was enough, though, to keep him in the game.

“I hung in there,” Couples said. “I didn’t hit the ball exceptionally well, but I hit it solid, which is what I said I needed to do. I just didn’t make enough birdies. So tomorrow I have to come out and fight and see what happens.”

Couples was one of the players Na wanted to watch when he came out to Riviera with his father in 1995. Now he will be playing with him in the final group, a chance for Na to get his first victory. And it would be a special one at that.

Not only does he have childhood memories of Riviera, his father was diagnosed with leukemia last year and has returned home to his native South Korea for treatment.

“My mother is going to Korea next week,” he said. “And hopefully, I can give her a trophy so she can give it to him.”

the rare 4-point play on the next Clarendon trip down.

The 3-pointer hit bottom and Johnson made the ensuing free throw, tying the game for the seventh time, 93-93.

NMMI never led again.

Marsh turned it over on the next Bronco possession and Scott Bastian gave Clarendon the lead for good, 95-93, with 3:06 left.

Mike Pinson hit a late triple to get NMMI within three and the Broncos fouled to send Johnson to the line for a pair of free throws.

Johnson missed both, giving NMMI one last chance to tie the game.

However, Marsh’s pass up

the floor was just out of the reach of Mike Buffalo and the ball fell harmlessly out of bounds as time expired.

The Broncos (10-17) had six players in double figures on the night.

Roswell alumnus A.J. Peralta tied Clarendon’s Johnson for the game high with 24 points.

Peralta went 8 of 19 from the field, 8 of 10 from the charity striple and grabbed 13 boards.

Buf falo added 16, Marsh finished with 15, Moore had 11 and Ryan Smith and Stephen McCray each added 10 for the Broncos. Smith also had 11 rebounds. kjkeller@roswell-record.com

Mayor’s early budget plan: Cut teaching jobs

AP Photo

NEW YORK (AP) — A $2.1 billion boost in projected tax revenue will keep the city from planning new cuts to services, but the city is forging ahead with previously announced cuts that would slice more than 6,000 teaching jobs, reduce library hours and pull millions of dollars for youth jobs, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday as he announced his budget proposal for next fiscal year.

Bloomberg is banking on $600 million in state concessions to balance the $65.6 billion city budget,

saying that city agencies and schools will face further cuts if the state does not come through on education aid, revenue sharing and retirement payments.

Bloomberg called on the Legislature to require all the state’s cities to equally share in cuts to revenuesharing funds, a move that would save the city $200 million, as part of the concessions he’s asking from the state.

“We have planned ahead and we have helped guide New York through the deepest national recession in decades,” the mayor

NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, tried to broker a deal.

Levin, in a news release, said he remains convinced a deal can be reached.

“We will reach out to the two parties and hope both are willing to continue talking and to consider compromise proposals that would meet our two bottom line goals of preserving a great orchestra in Detroit and doing so in a way that is fiscally responsible,” he said.

The latest offer included $34 million plus $2 million in optional funding for community and educational programs, DSO spokeswoman Elizabeth Weigandt said.

The symphony described its of fer as a nationally competitive, comprehensive compensation package that includes health benefits proposed by the union.

Management has been seeking deep pay cuts because of the symphony’s deficit, and delivered what it described as a final offer on Tuesday.

Musicians have offered to accept some pay cuts, but Detroit Federation of Musicians union leaders this week had urged members to turn down the proposal.

Management declared an impasse Sept. 1 and began implementing a 33 percent base pay cut for orchestra veterans, from $104,650 to

would be lost, mostly through attrition, under the preliminary budget, and previously announced cuts to city libraries and forced furloughs for some city workers would go forward. Twenty fire companies would be shuttered.

The city declined to step in to keep open more than one-third of the city’s senior centers, serving roughly 7,000 seniors, which are slated to close after a proposed state funding change. Additionally, a federal shift is expected to eliminate about 17,000 publicly funded child care slots.

said, but warned the cuts would be more severe if the state concessions did not come through. “We don’t deserve to be penalized for our responsible management.”

The mayor proposed laying off 4,666 teachers and cutting another 1,500 jobs through attrition. Those losses, representing roughly one out of every 12 teachers in the nation’s largest public school system, are the same cuts Bloomberg initially proposed in November in response to a multibilliondollar budget shortfall.

Another 2,000 city jobs

Detroit Symphony suspends season amid strike New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg delivers the fiscal year 2012 budget Thursday.

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Saturday suspended the rest of its season after musicians voted to reject management’s latest contract offer, dashing hopes for an end to a contentious walkout that has dragged on for months.

The musicians said no further meetings with management had been scheduled, but both sides said they remained committed to talks to end the more than four-month strike.

The musicians said the 3-year, $36 million proposal — dubbed a final offer by management — would have saddled them with unacceptably higher heath care deductibles and travel costs.

“Today’s decision reflects our deep disappointment at the inability of the executives to be upfront and honest with people,” Gordon Stump, president of the Detroit Federation of Musicians, said in a statement.

Even before the strike, the nationally acclaimed orchestra had seen its donations fall, endowment shrink and ticket sales soften as the state’s auto

industry shed jobs and plants and experienced bankruptcy reorganizations. DSO Board Chairman Stanley Frankel called the rejection “disappointing news,” and the effect of the strike on the orchestra’s economic condition will be reflected in future contract offers.

“Even our last proposal would have caused the DSO to face multi-million deficits for the foreseeable future,” he said. “We were willing to make that commitment in order to settle this strike and return our musicians to the stage.”

The symphony responded to the vote results released Saturday by saying it has released artists and conductors from their contracts and suspended the rest of the orchestral season, which was to have run through June 5. Management said a settlement in the strike that began Oct. 4 could lead to some concerts being rescheduled, or to a 2011 summer season.

The contract rejection came after a week in which mediators, including U.S. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Dan Gilbert, the Detroit-based owner of the

$70,200 in the first year.

Musicians had offered a 22 percent reduction to $82,000.

The latest proposal, the symphony said, would have included $80,200 base salary for the 2012 fiscal year plus $7,100 for optional community and educational work.

The total including the $7,100 in optional money would have risen to $87,900 in the 2013 fiscal year and $88,300 in the final year.

The musicians, however, said the rate for musicians would be as low as $5 per

hour for participating in every community outreach effort. They also said the full orchestra wouldn’t be able to play at as many community events.

Despite the concert cancellations, the orchestra said the Max M. Fisher Music Center, which includes the symphony’s home at Orchestra Hall, will continue in its role as a cultural, community, educational and per forming arts anchor. Shows will include jazz performances from Bobby McFerrin, youth concerts and other activities.

Veteran Egypt activist sees revolution as ongoing Roswell Daily Record

CAIRO (AP) — He organized his first demonstration while still a student in 1998, then got arrested and tortured by Egyptian police two years later at age 23.

Now he has seen the fall of the president he spent his adult life struggling against.

For 33-year -old activist Hossam el-Hamalawy, though, Egypt’s three-week youth revolution is by no means over — there remains a repressive state to be dismantled and workers who need to get their rights.

“The job is unfinished, we got rid of (Hosni) Mubarak but we didn’t get rid of his dictatorship, we didn’t get rid of the state security police,” he told The Associated Press while sipping strong Arabic cof fee in a traditional downtown cafe that weeks before had been the scene of street battles.

The activism career of elHamalawy typifies the long, and highly improbable, trajectory of the mass revolt that ousted Mubarak, Egypt’s longentrenched leader. Once a dreamer organizing more or less on his own, el-Hamalawy’s dreams suddenly hardened into reality. The next step, he says, is the Egypt-

ian people must press their advantage.

“This is phase two of the revolution,” said el-Hamalawy, who works as a journalist for an English-language online Egyptian paper and runs the Arabawy blog, a clearing house for information on the country’s fledgling independent labor movement — a campaign that has become increasingly assertive since the fall of the old government.

For years, activists in Egypt planted seeds — sometimes separately, sometimes in coordination — building networks and pushing campaigns on specific causes.

They fought lonely fights: antiwar protests here, labor strikes there, an effort to raise awareness about police abuse, another to organize “Keep Our City Clean” trash collection.

Then one day in late January, it all came together for them.

They were part of a movement, hundreds of thousands strong.

For three weeks, el-Hamalawy fought regime supporters and manned the barricades in Tahrir Square, but unlike the youth leaders who have come to prominence in the aftermath of the uprising, he refuses to talk to the

generals now ruling Egypt and fears the uprising’s momentum is being lost as everyone waits for the military to transition the country to a new government.

“Activists can take some rest from the protest and go back to their well-paying jobs for six months, waiting for the military to give us salvation, but the worker can’t go back to his facto-

ry and still get paid 250 pounds,” he said, referring to the wave of labor unrest sweeping the country as workers protest their abysmal wages.

“The strikes now will continue, that’s our only hope at the moment, the mission is not accomplished,” el-Hamalawy said, sardonically echoing the triumphant tweet of one youth

leader when Mubarak stepped down.

Only a few years ago, activists could hardly dream that their actions might bring down the president and they rarely dared say it out loud. Those that did, like el-Hamalawy, were mocked as crazy dreamers.

Uganda’s president leads big in early vote returns

AP Photo

Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni shows the ink mark on the thumb after he voted in Kiruhura district at a polling station about 200 miles west of Kampala, Uganda, Friday.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Early retur ns from Uganda’s presidential election announced Saturday showed President Yoweri Museveni with a huge lead over his nearest rival, making it likely he will extend his 25-year hold on power.

With 17 percent of the vote counted, Museveni had about 71 percent of the ballots cast. His top rival, Kizza Besigye, had about 22 percent of the votes.

Electoral Commission chairman Badru Kiggundu said he expected officials to work through 50 percent of the ballots cast by later Saturday. Final results are to be announced Sunday.

Kiggundu said counting was going smoothly but he said there had been some problems on voting day.

John Mary Odoy, director

of Democracy Monitoring Group, said several abnormalities were reported during Friday’s vote, including ballots pre-marked for Museveni’s party and observers being refused access to polling stations.

“There is no election in the world that is 100 percent without problems,” Kiggundu said. “We are only five years into the current multiparty system.”

Museveni, an ex-rebel commander who seized power at the head of a guerrilla ar my in 1986, once criticized African rulers who clung to power.

But he sought another fiveyear term as a president who has fostered peace, stability and growth.

Museveni, who is vague about his age and is either 66 or 67, has mostly

escaped the wrath recently aimed at other long-serving African leaders.

Kizza Besigye plans to release his own tally of results and is threatening Egypt-style unrest if the results are out of line with his backers’ expectations.

Besigye insists Uganda is ready for popular revolt.

Museveni has said there will be no Egypt-style protests in his country and that he will jail anyone who attempts to spark unrest.

While previous election campaigns were marred by violence against opposition candidates, observers say Museveni allowed opposition candidates a freer hand to campaign this year, perhaps thinking that allowing true competition would win him points with voters.

Church says Cuba freeing 7 political prisoners

HAVANA (AP) — Cuba’s gover nment has agreed to free seven more prisoners, the Roman Catholic Church announced Saturday. Six convicted of crimes against state security are bound for Spain, but a political prisoner who was freed said he plans to remain on the island and return to the independent reporting that led to his arrest.

The releases continue a slow stream of prisoners who have been freed recently at the behest of the church, with most of them quickly sent into exile.

But the new releases also included one of the men who has refused exile: Ivan Hernandez, an independent journalist who was among 75 people arrested in a major crackdown on dissidents in 2003. The inmates who have vowed to remain in Cuba have been the last to leave prison.

“Yesterday the cardinal (Jaime Ortega) told me of my release and this morning they brought me home,” Hernandez told The Associated Press by telephone from his home in Matanzas, 85 miles (140 kilometers) east of the capital.

He said he was given conditional liberty, but decided “to remain in my country to continue the same activities of independent journalist that I did before I was detained.”

He said he was in good health, though feeling stress, and he thanked the church for its help.

“I have faith that this process will continue until all are freed,” he said of the remaining dissi-

dents.

The archbishop’s office said the other six are Roger Cardoso, Yoan Jose Navalon, Yosnel Batista, Juan Antonio Bermudez, Marco Antonio Zayas and Reinier Concepcion.

Bermudez was serving four years for attacks and causing damage, while Zayas and Conception faced eight years in prison for terrorism, according to the independent Cuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation, which keeps a list of political detainees.

Commission President Elizardo Sanchez said that Cardoso was serving a 20-year sentence, while Navalon and Batista had been sentenced to prison for piracy — a category that often includes seizure of boats by people trying to leave the island.

Hernandez, 39, had been serving a 25-year sentence.

The government swept up 75 dissidents in 2003 and sentenced them to lengthy prison terms for allegedly working with the U.S. government to undermine Cuba’s communist system. They deny the government’s allegations they are foreign agents.

Fifty-two of the group remained behind bars when the church announced last year that the government had promised to free the rest.

Most were sent to Spain with a few relatives, but a small group has refused to leave Cuba, and their releases have been delayed.

Last week, however, the government freed Angel Moya and Hector Maseda, whose wives had crusaded for their release as part of the Ladies in White group that staged weekly demonstrations in Havana. They said they would remain in Cuba and, in fact wanted to remain in prison until other, ailing dissidents were released or they were exonerated. Officials tossed them out of jail anyway.

Only six of the original 75 remain.

Cuban authorities also have released the mother of a dissident who died last year after a long hunger strike. Reina Luisa Tamayo said Saturday that police held her for 12 hours at a station in her hometown of Banes. She says her husband Jesus Ortiz also was held.

Tamayo’s son Orlando Zapata died last Feb. 23 after an 83-day hunger strike. He was imprisoned for disrespecting authority.

Cuban police often haul in dissidents and their families, usually allowing them to go free within hours or days.

Tamayo said she and 13 relatives have been given documents to go to the United States as political refugees. She said they still await Cuban paperwork.

The Cuban government had no immediate comment. Authorities rarely acknowledge the dissidents, except to say that they are all common criminals and stooges paid by Washington to destabilize the island.

Ousted Madagascar president barred from returning

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Madagascar’s ousted president has been barred by officials in his homeland from returning from exile in South Africa Saturday, the politician told reporters at Johannesburg’s airport.

Marc Ravalomanana said aviation authorities in Madagascar had written to South African Airways to say he was not welcome. Ravalomanana had been booked on the carrier’s regular Saturday flight to Antananarivo, Madagascar’s capital.

“I’m very, very upset,” Ravalomanana told reporters shortly after South African Airways said he could not board the plane. “I’m very disappointed right now because many Malagasy people are at the airport right now waiting for my arrival. But I’m still here — I’m stuck here.”

The democratically elected Ravalomanana has been in exile in

South Africa since being ousted in a 2009 military-backed takeover led by Andry Rajoelina, a former disc jockey turned Antananarivo mayor. Rajoelina has been shunned by the international community and has so far rejected attempts by South Africa and other neighbors to mediate a solution that would restore democracy.

Rajoelina has refused to allow Ravalomanana to return.

In a letter to South African Airways, Madagascar civil aviation authorities said Ravalomanana and his crew were “non grata persons” in Madagascar.

“So to preserve public order, don’t take them on board,” said Ratsirahonana Wilfrid Mamonjisoa, the acting director general of the Madagascar civil aviation authority.

By not getting on the plane Saturday, Ravalomanana avoided a possible showdown at the airport

in Antananarivo. He faces arrest in Madagascar after a court set up by Rajoelina convicted him last year of conspiracy to commit murder, charges linked to the unrest surrounding his ouster. The court sentenced Ravalomanana to life with hard labor.

Ravalomanana, as he was leaving the airport, said he would try to arrange another way to return to his country. “I’m going back in my home in South Africa, and we will see,” he said.

In Antananarivo, about 1,000 Ravalomanana supporters headed toward the airport in small groups on Saturday. Security forces kept the crowds from reaching the airport.

After Ravalomanana told reporters in Johannesburg earlier this week that he was returning, South Africa, the region’s main power broker, cautioned him against taking “unilateral meas-

ures.” Speaking to reporters this week, South African foreign minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane acknowledged coup leader Rajoelina has ignored mediation efforts so far, but said negotiations are continuing.

Peruvian from US spy scandal back home

LIMA, Peru (AP) — A Peruvian jour nalist deported by the United States to Russia in a spy swap returned home to attend her father’s burial Saturday.

Pelaez was not accompanied by husMikhail band Vasenkov, whom she met in Peru in the 1980s when he was living as Juan Lazaro.

The couple was arrested last June by U.S. authorities along with eight other people accused of being Russian spies.

All 10 were sent to Russia in July in exchange for the release by Moscow of four people convicted of spying for the West.

“I am not going to speak ill of either the United States or Russia,” Pelaez told reporters after attending her father’s funeral in the highlands city of Cuzco. “That country (Russia) was able to get me out of that hole and is fulfilling its promise to give me a pension, with which I am supporting my son.”

Peruvian prosecutors have said the 55year-old Pelaez apparently altered her birth and marriage records and said that if she returned to Peru she could be detained. The Associated Press was not immediately able to reach authorities for comment on Pelaez’s legal status.

Pelaez was a longtime columnist for the newspaper El Diario La Prensa in New York known as a fervent defender of Cuba’s Fidel Castro when she was arrested.

Both Pelaez and Vasenkov, 65, pleaded guilty in the United States to conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of a foreign country. The two disappeared from public view and Pelaez’s return to Peru on Friday brought her back into the limelight.

Peru’s foreign minister had warned after the two were deported by the U.S. that Vasenkov could be charged with lying on his Peruvian citizenship application if he were to return to Peru.

BB King Blues Club files for bankruptcy

LAS VEGAS (AP) — B.B. King’s Blues Club on the Las Vegas Strip has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The Las Vegas Sun reports that the club’s owner, Beale Street Blues Company Las Vegas LLC, filed for Chapter 11 reorganization of the restaurant and live music club at The Mirage hotel-casino on Wednesday.

The club hopes to restructure $3.7 million in debt and other liabilities. It generated sales of $8.6 million in 2010 and $1.1 million so far this year.

The venue is part of a Memphis-based group of clubs named after the music legend. King is not named as an officer in the company.

and friends said he suffered from chronic back pain.

Moore was found unconscious in the bathroom of his Manhattan home Thursday, and doctors couldn’t save his life, police said. The cause of death will be determined by the city’s medical examiner, but no foul play was suspected.

Moore had a varied career in television and in film, as producer, screenwriter and director. His 2007 novel, “Hero,” won the Lambda Literary Award for best novel for young gay, lesbian, bisex-

ual and transgender children or adults.

Moore, who was gay, said in an interview on his website that in writing the novel, he had wanted to tell the story of his father, a Vietnam veteran, “and his son.”

“Like most young people, I grew up feeling alienated and different — for very specific reasons in my case — in a place that didn’t value differences,” he said. “I also have this borderline-crazy belief in the power of literature to change the universe. So I’d always wanted to tell this story.”

Moore was an executive producer on all three hugely successful “Narnia” films, and authored a best-selling illustrated book for the first film, “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” He directed a 2008 drama with Sissy Spacek called “Lake City” and co-directed a documentary about children’s book author Maurice Sendak with Hunter Hill and Spike Jonze. He scored a “Sexy Man of the Week” rating by People Magazine in 2007.

But it was his novel about a super -powered

teenager that seemed to focus his passions. With “Hero,” he said he hoped to create a gay superhero who was not, he said, a supporting character, victim or token. “I decided I would write the definitive coming-of-age story of the world’s first gay teen superhero,” he said.

It was the death of one of the first prominent gay heroes in the Marvel Comics universe, Northstar, at the hands of XMen’s Wolverine, that spurred him to finish the book. “He slaughtered the X-Men’s token gay hero,” Moore said. “I found this

story be disturbing, to say the least.”

He compiled a list of gay characters in comics to show how most were “minor characters, and victims who are tortured, maimed and killed.”

Moore was born in Virginia Beach, Va., and majored in English at the University of Virginia, according to his website.

He started his career in television at MTV and VH1, then worked for “The Rosie O’Donnell Show.” He later joined Walden Media, the company that produced the films based on C.S. Lewis’ “Narnia” books.

Not all heroes walk on two legs.

Heroes of the four -legged variety serve every day in police departments, rescue units and in the military across the U.S., and across the world.

They also get injured or sick — and require medical care.

Take Trace, a search and rescue yellow Labrador retriever in Colorado who was diagnosed with lymphoma.

Take Gyp, a border collie, also in Colorado, who had also been diagnosed with cancer. Think about Vision, a search and rescue dog in Alabama who was particularly good at finding missing children.

Then there is Sage, the 12-year-old search and rescue border collie who worked missions in the aftermath of Sept. 11 and after hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Sage also worked with various law enforcement agencies to search for missing people, including the Natalee Holloway disappearance.

In 2007, Sage and her owner and handler, Diane Whetsel, were deployed to Iraq to search for missing soldiers who may have been killed.

“She’s like this century’s Lassie, except she’s real,” Whetsel said.

In 2010, Sage was diagnosed with two types of cancer — bronchioalveolar carcinoma and a thymoma — which were treated at Colorado State University’s animal cancer center. Whetsel can’t be sure, but she believes Sage’s cancer was a result of her rescue work.

After a recurrence in December, Sage underwent another surgery and is currently undergoing chemotherapy at

“The Sage Foundation For Dogs Who Serve believes that our canine partners who stand ready at our sides in wars, on our community streets and those who search for our lost and injured are gifts and deserve the best care we can offer to them. Our mission is to promote the welfare of dogs who have faithfully served in wars, crime prevention and rescue efforts — often in harms way — through education and increased public awareness.”

— Diane Whetsel, Sage’s owner and handler

Country Club Animal Hospital.

“She’s actually doing really well right now,” Whetsel said, adding chemotherapy doesn’t affect dogs in the same ways it affects humans. “... She doesn’t get sick — her appetite could be better, but she doesn’t get sick.”

But it was the way the Roswell community came together to support Sage that gave Whetsel the idea to form The Sage Foundation For Dogs Who Serve, an organization dedicated to providing for the health and welfare of dogs who have served in wars, in police work, in crime prevention and rescue efforts and to increase education and public awareness of the work such dogs perform.

A benefit fundraiser for The Sage Foundation will be held throughout the day Saturday, Feb. 26, at Champion Motorsports, 2801 W. Second St. The day kicks off at 9 a.m. at the Roswell Convention and Civic Center, 912 N. Main St., where Mayor Del Jurney will read a proclamation declaring Feb. 26 Sage Day. Members of the Patriot Guard will lead a parade to Champion Motorsports, including

escorts from the Roswell police and fire departments. Sage will ride in the sidecar of Patriot Guard co-captain Mike Murphy’s motorcycle.

Activities throughout the day include giveaways all day; a silent auction, starting at 10 a.m.; K-9 demonstrations at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.; a Fun Run at noon, which starts at Champion Motorsports and ends at 3 p.m., at the Elks Lodge, 1720 N. Montana Ave.; and a blessing of the bikes and the pets at 3 p.m. at the Elks Lodge — all pets must be on a leash.

Door prizes will be given out, as well.

Tickets for the door prizes will be sold from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; tickets will be available all day at the event.

At 4 p.m., a raffle drawing for a basket of gift certificates and local businesses worth at least $1,000 will be held at the Elks Lodge. Tickets are $10 each and are available from from Champion Motorsports, Dr. Craig Walker at Country Club Animal Hospital and all day at the event.

Whetsel said the benefit will raise much-needed funds to help care for animals who give just as much as their

human counterparts — dogs who get injured or ill just as their human counterparts do, but whose medical care costs are expensive and which may not be covered by insurance or funds from agencies in which the dogs have served.

“A persons humanity can be judged by the way they treat their animals.

Likewise, a society's progressive advancement as a society can ultimately be scored by the laws that regulate the ethical treatment of their animals.

To know a canine as I do, as a partner that loves without judgment or condition, is a privilege that only the most fortunate of people experience,” Whetsel said. “The Sage Foundation For Dogs Who Serve believes that our canine partners who stand ready at our sides in wars, on our community streets and those who search for our lost and injured are gifts and deserve the best care we can offer to them. Our mission is to promote the welfare of dogs who have faithfully served in wars, crime prevention and rescue ef forts — often in har ms way — through education and increased public awareness.”

New Year’s resolutions don’t happen overnight

JULI: Truth be told, few of us have been diligent to keep the promises we made to ourselves on Jan. 1. Whether it was to lose weight, stop smoking or to be a better parent, real change is difficult to consistently stay committed to.

One of the greatest barriers to keeping your New Year's resolution is all-or-nothing thinking. In other words, since I ate a pint of ice cream yesterday, I guess the diet will have to wait until next year, or at least next week. Let’s face it ... we all fail to perfectly measure up to our greatest aspirations. The difference between success and failure is really based on whether or not you keep trying, even after you fail. Change doesn’t happen overnight. Research suggests that it takes an average of 66 days to form a new habit.

As you work toward losing weight, keep a couple of things in mind. Set goals that will change your lifestyle, like a healthy eating and exercise plan instead of targeting a number on the scale. Create a form of accountability, whether a friend to work out with or a formal weight loss program. It is much easier to stay committed to your goal when someone is cheering you on. Also, remember that medical or emotional issues can impact weight. You may want to consult your physician or perhaps a counselor if you continue to struggle.

Finally, consider this quote by GK Chesterton: “Anything worth doing is worth doing badly.” In other words,

DC wax museum has all 44 US presidents

WASHINGTON (AP) — George W. Bush is surrounded by 9/11 images, Jimmy Carter stands beside a gasoline pump, and George Washington rows across the Delaware River in a new gallery showing life-size figures of all the U.S. presidents.

A revamped Madame Tussaud’s wax museum opened its $2 million presidents gallery Thursday after spending a year carefully researching the eyes, hair and other features to add 28 new commandersin-chief to its collection.

Each has a historical setting to represent his piece of history. Franklin D. Roosevelt is seated with a radio and fireplace for a “fireside chat.” Ronald Reagan stands beside the Berlin Wall, and President Barack Obama is near a replica of the Oval Office.

“We tried to immerse the area, to theme it during that time period so that it feels more authentic,” said General Manager Dan Rogoski. “We want people to walk in here and feel the authenticity. They feel like they’re part of it.”

Besides the National Portrait Gallery, the wax museum is the first place to show lifelike figures of all the presidents together in the nation’s capital. With brief doses of history to accompany the figures, there are more than a few stereotypes in how the presidents are presented.

Tussauds decided to recast itself as a presidents gallery over its usual mix of pop stars after the attraction didn’t draw as many paying visitors as planned since its 2007 opening in a city dominated by the free Smithsonian museums.

Tourists said in surveys that they wanted to see history and politics during a visit to D.C. The museum also hopes to draw more school groups with its new

A wax figure of President Martin Van Buren is on display as part of an American Presidents exhibit at Madame Tussaud’s wax museum in Washington, Tuesday. A new gallery opening in Washington will show wax figures of all 44 U.S. presidents together in the nation's capital for the first time.

focus.

There have been 44 presidents, but there are 43 figures. Grover Cleveland, who served two nonconsecutive ter ms, is counted twice as No. 22 and No. 24.

To include all the presidents, Tussauds created 28 new wax figures over the past year. Typically its London artists would rely on photographs or video of a subject, but many of the founding father figures had to be based on paintings or historical accounts.

Rogoski said the figures are as accurate as the available information about each president.

Researchers tracked details on eye color, skin tone and attire.

There’s a stately John Adams seated in a replicated “Independence Hall,” as well as the shortest president, James Madison who stood 5 feet 4 inches tall.

A touch screen along the wall asks: “Which president ran up a personal wine bill of $10,000?” Answer: Thomas Jefferson. Apparently he made a habit of lavish entertaining.

For the heaviest president, William H. Taft, there’s a scale for visitors to compare their weight to his more than 300 pounds.

A few other public figures are mixed in with the presidents, including Robert E. Lee surrendering to Ulysses Grant during the Civil War, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

Andrea de Gatica, a teacher from Virginia, got an early look at the gallery with her niece who was visiting from Chile. She said she would consider bringing her students who study English as a second language.

“They look so real, and they are so vivid,” de Gatica said of the wax presidents.

“You come to learn about politics, the presidents, but you actually have fun.”

Text along the walls includes some historical context. Beside Carter’s figure and the gas pump, for example, a label explains that oil prices spiked during the Iranian Revolution in 1979 after an earlier oil embargo by Arab nations during President Richard Nixon’s years.

authority. Time and again, we have tried to teach him the importance of being respectful. And time and again, he’s had us tearing our hair out! He never seemed to learn his lesson — until, that is, just recently.

Something has changed in our firstborn son. It’s like he’s had a burst of maturity. He’s getting perspective, and it’s clear that he’s beginning to understand that his actions have consequences, both for himself and for those around him. He’s more respectful of his mom and dad, not to mention his little brother.

Did Jean and I discover some magic formula to bring about this change? No — we’ve just been doing what we've always done. But I think that’s the point. If we're consistent and persistent with our kids when it comes to discipline and boundaries, the message is going to get through eventually. There may be conflict along the way, as you’ve discovered with your daughter. But by God’s grace, one day she’ll thank you for your efforts to develop character in her when she was younger. The important thing is that you don't give up. And above all, make sure she knows you love her. ** ** ** Jim Daly is president of Focus on the Family, host of the Focus on the Family radio program, and a husband and father of two.

This Feb. 2 photo shows a slice of king cake in Concord, N.H.

King cake, anytime

ALISON LADMAN FOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS If you won’t be lucky enough to be in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, you can still bake up a taste of it at home.

Granted, you’ll need to supply your own revelry in the streets, but a slice of this delicious king cake should get you in the mood. The top is decorated with the colors of Mardi Gras: purple, green and gold.

King Cake Start to finish: 4 hours (45 minutes active) Servings: 16 For the dough: 1 cup warm milk 1/2 cup granulated sugar Zest of 1 lemon 4 eggs, room temperature 2 egg yolks, room temperature 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons salt 1 tablespoon instant or fast-acting yeast 5 to 6 cups all-purpose flour For the filling: 1/2 cup raisins 4 ounces cream cheese 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans For the decoration: 3 cups powdered sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice Purple, green and gold colored sugars In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the milk, sugar, zest, eggs, egg yolks and butter.

With the mixer running on the lowest setting, add the nutmeg, salt, yeast and 5 cups of the flour. Mix until a dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon of water; if it is too wet, add a couple tablespoons of flour. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.

Increase the mixer speed to 2 and knead for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, make the filling. In a small saucepan, combine the raisins and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Remove from the heat and let soak for 15 minutes. Drain the raisins, then transfer them to a kitchen towel and pat dry.

In a food processor, combine the raisins, cream cheese, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon. Pulse together until combined, then add the pecans and pulse just until incorporated.

When the dough has risen, coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Roll into a long rectangle, about 22-by-14-inches.

Spread the filling over the surface of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border along the edges. Roll the dough up into a tight log starting with one of the long sides. Pinch the seam shut and turn until the seam is on the bottom.

Move the log onto the prepared baking sheet. Insert one end of the log into the other end to form a ring.

Loosely cover and allow to rise until puffy and almost doubled in size, about 1 hour. Toward the end of the rising time, heat the oven to 350 F. Bake the cake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

To make the icing, in a medium bowl stir together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

Drizzle over the top of the cooled king cake. Immediately sprinkle with the colored sugars before the icing begins to harden.

Campbell says sales, profit dip; cuts guidance

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Campbell Soup Co. sold more cans of soup in its fiscal second quarter, but at such deep discounts it drove down the company’s profit.

The quarterly decline was expected, but it came with some other bad news from the food maker. The outlook for the rest of the year is cloudy enough that Campbell lowered its full-year earnings and revenue guidance for the second time in about three months.

The Camden, N.J., company said Friday that its income fell 8 percent and sales were down 1 percent.

Campbell says it now expects full-year revenue to be essentially flat — between a 1 percent decline and 1 percent growth, and earnings per share to fall by 1 to 3 percent. To achieve that, Campbell will have to have a stronger performance in between now and the end of July than it’s had over the past six months.

Previously, the company said it expected earnings for the year to be up by 2 to 4 percent, or between $2.52 and $2.57 for

the full year. The revised guidance is for a profit between $2.40 and $2.45 per share.

The second-quarter result matched Wall Street expectations — and for exactly the reasons analysts were expecting.

Campbell President and CEO Doug Conant said the company used heavy promotions to sell a higher volume of soup in the U.S. But the company still didn’t sell as much as it had hoped — and promotional spending was so high that it wiped out any gains in revenue. Conant said that was the right strategy to keep customers.

“Just a year ago, we were losing some of our consumer base to other simple meals,” he told analysts on a conference call Friday. “We said we have to reverse that, and we have.”

Company officials were mostly upbeat about their prospects despite the lower outlook, Rob Moskow, who follows the company for Credit Suisse, was not as optimistic, telling officials on Friday’s conference call: “Soup did not go according to

the plan.”

Wall Street also judged the company harshly Friday. The stock price closed at $33.58, down $1.36 or nearly 4 percent from Thursday’s close.

Revenue from ready-to-serve soups fell 4 percent. The company says declines in its relatively pricey microwavable soups were responsible for most of that. Meanwhile, revenue from highly profitable condensed soups, which have had labels redesigned and supermarket displays reconfigured, fell 7 percent.

The company said that competitors lured some customers away by dropping ready-to-serve prices so low that some shoppers were forsaking Campbell’s condensed soup for the more convenient varieties.

Broth sales, meanwhile, rose, as people used those products for more holiday meals. The baking and snacking line, including Pepperidge Farm cookies and crackers, was up 8 percent.

Wis. rallies renew history of political activism

Opponents to the governor’s bill to eliminate collective bargaining rights for many state workers protest in the rotunda of the State Capitol in Madison, Friday.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A birthplace of the progressive movement is crackling with a fervor not seen in decades, as students from the famously liberal University of Wisconsin team up with unionized state workers for demonstrations against collective bargaining rights pushed by the state’s new Republican gover nor. The biggest rally yet is expected Saturday, along with an influx of conservative counter-protesters.

As many as 40,000 people swarmed the Capitol on Friday, raising the noise in its rotunda to earsplitting levels as they rallied to block Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s ef forts to ease Wisconsin’s budget woes by cutting many government workers’ pay, benefits and bargaining rights.

No stranger to political unrest, Madison has seen activists take to the streets to protest the Vietnam war, support civil rights and oppose cuts in social services. Riots ensued

15 years ago when police clamped down on an annual block party that began as an anti-war protest in 1969.

Some say this week’s rallies are unmatched in their sustained, impassioned energy — bolstered by Senate Democrats who fled the state to delay action on Walker’s proposal and threatened to stay in hiding for weeks if calls for negotiation go unheeded. State troopers were sent to retrieve the Democratic minority leader from his home Friday, but their knocks went unanswered.

“That’s jaw-dropping. This is uncharted,” said Mordecai Lee, a UW-Milwaukee political scientist and former state lawmaker who said he’s been reminded this week of when motorcycle riders’ protest of a helmet law in the late 1970s persuaded legislators to overturn the measure.

Democrats who stayed in Madison on Friday scored their own vic-

tory, forcing the state Assembly to adjourn until at least Tuesday without taking a vote on Walker’s bill.

Republicans, however, have more than enough votes to pass the measure once the Legislature can convene.

The vast majority of the protesters who have for four days filled the Capitol with chanting, drum-beats and anti-Walker slogans have been union workers and their supporters.

Tensions could rise Saturday, when conservative counter-protesters are set to arrive by the busload to demand that the bill be passed.

Protests are organized by groups including the Tea Party Patriots, the movement’s largest umbrella group, and Americans for Prosperity.

Paul Soglin, who has been at the Capitol all week and spent at least one night on the floor, didn’t seem concerned about clashes with the opposition, saying he’s been struck by protesters’ positive enthusiasm.

Obama promotes jobs by way of education

President Barack Obama visits with seventh-grade students who are Intel Science Talent Search finalists, Friday, at the Intel Corporation in Hillsboro, Ore.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says better education in math and science is critical to pushing the U.S. forward

in the global competition for innovation and jobs, and he wants the private sector to get involved in making it happen.

Obama recorded his weekly radio and Internet address during a visit this week to Intel Corp. outside of Portland, Ore. He praised the company Saturday for making a 10-year, $200 million commitment to promote math and science education — and held it up as an example of how corporate America can make money at the same time it builds the country.

“Companies like Intel are proving that we can compete — that instead of just being a nation that buys what’s made overseas, we can make things in America and sell them around the globe,” Obama said.

“Winning this competition depends on the ingenuity and creativity of our private sector. But it’s also going to depend on what we do as a nation to make America the best place on earth to do

business.”

Obama’s West Coast swing, which included a dinner with big names in California’s Silicon Valley including Apple’s Steve Jobs and Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, was part of his push to promote a budget proposal that increases spending in targeted areas like education, research and development and highspeed Internet, while cutting in other areas. Republicans in control of the House are pushing much deeper cuts and resisting new spending. The GOP is taking Obama to task for avoiding changes to the biggest budget busters: Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. In the Republicans’ weekly radio address, they trumpeted the GOP’s push to cut $60 billion from the current fiscal year budget.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal prosecutors have ended a criminal investigation of Countrywide Financial Corp. cofounder Angelo Mozilo, a person close to the investigation said Friday.

The federal official told The Associated Press that the probe launched in 2008 into the actions of the former chief executive of the housing giant during the mortgage meltdown has been closed with no indictments. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation was never publicly announced, and the Department of Justice as a policy does not AP Photo announce the closing of investiga- Angelo Mozilo tions. In October, Mozilo agreed to a $67.5 million settlement to avoid civil trial on fraud and insider trading charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission, but prosecutors pursuing the criminal case against him found that his actions did not amount to crimes.

The SEC’s charges alleged that the 72-year-old Mozilo and two other former Countrywide executives who also settled profited from doling out risky mortgages while misleading investors about the dangers. The three men admitted no wrongdoing under the settlement.

Regulators shut 4 Ga., Calif. banks

WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators on Friday shut down two small banks in Georgia and two in California, boosting to 22 the number of U.S. bank failures this year after the weak economy and mounting bad debt brought down 157 banks in 2010.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Friday seized the banks: Habersham Bank, based in Clarkesville, Ga., with $387.6 million in assets; Citizens Bank of Effingham, based in Springfield, Ga., with $214.3 million in assets; Charter Oak Bank of Napa, Calif., with $120.8 million in assets; and San Luis Trust Bank, based in San Luis Obispo, Calif., with $332.6 million in assets.

SCBT National Association, based in Orangeburg, S.C., agreed to assume the assets and deposits of Habersham Bank. HeritageBank of the South, based in Albany, Ga., is acquiring the assets and deposits of Citizens Bank of Effingham.

Bank of Marin, based in Novato, Calif., is assuming all the deposits and about $92 million of the assets of Charter Oak Bank; the FDIC is retaining the rest for eventual sale. First California Bank, based in Westlake Village, Calif., is acquiring the assets and deposits of San Luis Trust Bank.

Mexico’s Televisa says Slim pulled ads

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Televisa said Friday that billionaire Carlos Slim is no longer advertising with the network, the latest conflict to emerge between two of Mexico’s most powerful companies.

Televisa Executive Vice President Alfonso de Angoita said the decision by Slim’s Grupo Carso have contributed to a 4 percent drop Televisa’s 2011 anticipated revenue, compared to last year.

Slim, one of the world’s wealthiest men, owns Mexican telephone giant Telmex and cell phone company Telcel.

Televisa and Telmex have been at odds over the telephone provider’s long-standing push for permission to offer television services using “triple-play,” in which it would use its existing broadband network to carry video, phone and Internet services.

Televisa and other competitors argue that would give Telmex an unfair advantage because it has a virtual monopoly on fixed-line services. Angoita said during a conference call with analysts that advertisement from Grupo Carso’s companies accounted for 3.8 percent of Televisa’s broadcast revenue and less than 1.5 percent of consolidated revenue.

Officials from Grupo Carso declined to comment. Televisa, Mexico’s biggest television network and the world’s top producer of Spanish-language TV programs, reported a 121 percent increase in 4th quarter earnings.

Germany optimistic on G-20 deal

PARIS (AP) — Germany’s finance minister says he believes the world’s dominant economies will reach a deal on how to track dangerous imbalances in the global economy, as the Group of 20 rich and developing nations’ work to prevent another financial crisis.

Wolfgang Schaeuble said Saturday that he thinks “we will today reach agreement on what indicators to use to measure imbalances, to manage undesirable trends in time.”

G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting in Paris appear to be closing in on a list of five indicators, focusing on current accounts, real effective exchange rates and currency reserves, as well as public and private debt levels. However, China, the world’s second biggest economy, has so far opposed targeting current account surpluses and exchange rates, as it has resisted letting its own currency, the yuan, appreciate more quickly against the dollar.

When luggage, lateness matter as much as the fare Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — Flying is rarely seamless. Hoping to hit the Pick Four of a low fare, uninterrupted trip, great service and unscathed luggage is wishful thinking.

An examination of the government’s performance rankings and catalog of passenger complaints may help travelers determine how close their airline might come.

First, the good news. Four of the socalled network carriers — United, Continental, American and US Airways — got more passengers to their destinations on time last year than in 2009. Delta slipped slightly after two years of improvement. All of them also lowered their rate of lost or damaged bags.

Meanwhile, the airline that carries more passengers than any other, Southwest, has dropped to 10th from second in on-time performance. Its rate of damaged or lost bags held steady last year from 2009.

Yet Southwest still gets a near pass

when it comes to passenger complaints.

Flight problems — cancellations, delays and missed connections — are the biggest reason travelers complain to the Department of Transportation; baggage is the second.

Getting free checked bags — the other airlines charge up to $60 for two bags — seems to give travelers more patience with Southwest. That, and a reputation for lower fares, helps ease travelers’ gripes about late arrivals or other issues that they might complain about at other airlines.

And do they ever complain.

More passengers filed complaints last year than ever before. That’s partly because DOT has improved its online complaint system. But passengers have plenty of reasons to wage a formal government complaint. The rise of fees, fewer customer service agents and extensive security have

Naeem Khan fashion: high shine, glamour

AP Photos Models show the Naeem Khan Fall 2011 collection during Fashion Week in New York, Thursday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Naeem Kahn received a standing ovation for a collection filled with what he does best: High shine and elegant glamour. The Indian-born designer’s dresses, shown Thursday on the closing night of New York Fashion Week, were often blackless, sometimes flowing and most always glittery, some with beaded bodices, embroidered with floral threadwork and trimmed with ostrich feathers.

“This collection is an exploration of artistry, technique and heritage coming together to redefine the glamour of the cosmopolitan woman,” the show’s notes read.

Khan dressed first lady Michelle Obama for the first state dinner with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2009. Applause rose from the audience at Lincoln Center for a V-neck nude chiffon caftan with a pleated back. It was beaded with gold. Many gowns were black and white but there was some color, including purple, blue and red.

Weather radar clutter is boon for biologists

WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists may have found the silver lining in that large cloud of radar information that weather forecasters discard because it is produced by birds, bats and insects.

While this information is just clutter to the weather folks, it’s just the thing biologists need to study the activities of flying creatures — a science newly christened “Aeroecology.”

“Radar provides us an unprecedented tool for observing bats and birds,” Winifred F. Frick of the University of California, Santa Cruz, explained Friday at the annual con-

vention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Typically bats, insects and birds have small bodies which make them difficult to observe, she said. Frick said the radars are helping researchers study foraging behavior and researchers also can now observe migratory patterns, seasonal changes in behavior and the effect of variations in climate.

“It was absolutely inspiring to be able to see the scale at which the bats are operating. We’ve never been able to see that before,” Frick added.

led many travelers to seek a higher authority when things go wrong.

Three airlines generally draw the most complaints: Delta, United and US Airways.

Delta, which got the most, was the world’s biggest airline until United combined with Continental in October.

Most of the 2,200 complaints against Delta last year were about customer service. But Delta’s poor on-performance — it ranked 15th out of the 18 biggest airlines — probably added to the frustration.

Delta had 10 times the complaints of Southwest, even though it had a third fewer U.S. passengers. Only 211 of 101.4 million Southwest customers complained to DOT last year.

Southwest’s on-time rate has dropped since starting service at New York’s LaGuardia, Boston’s Logan and other big city airports. It still ranks first overall in DOT’s records dating back to 1987.

It’s not just the rapping flight attendants that keep Southwest passengers happier despite more lost bags and delays. Aviation consultant Mark Kiefer suggests Southwest fliers complain less because they’re more likely leisure travelers, who fly infrequently and suffer less from a delay than business travelers.

Kiefer suggests that passengers, who often say low fares are the most important factor in choosing a flight, pay more attention to an airline’s on-time rates, lost or damaged bags and complaints.

“The consequences of a delay are much greater now that flights are so full,” Kiefer said. Flights now are regularly at least 80 percent packed — a rate usually seen in the peak of summer travel. “A delay or lost bag can be a pretty big inconvenience when it means missing a day or your vacation.”

Speaking 2 languages may delay getting Alzheimer’s

WASHINGTON (AP) — Mastering a second language can pump up your brain in ways that seem to delay getting Alzheimer’s disease later on, scientists said Friday.

Never learned to habla or parlez? While the new research focuses mostly on the truly long-term bilingual, scientists say even people who tackle a new language later in life stand to gain.

The more proficient you become, the better, but “every little bit helps,” said Ellen Bialystok, a psychology professor at York University in Toronto.

Much of the study of bilingualism has centered on babies, as scientists wondered why simply speaking to infants in two languages allows them to learn both in the time it takes most babies to learn one. Their brains seem to become more flexible, better able to multitask. As they grow up, their brains show better “executive control,” a system key to higher functioning — as Bialystok puts it, “the most important part of your mind.”

But does that mental juggling while you’re young translate into protection against cognitive decline when you’re old?

Bialystok studied 450 Alzheimer’s patients, all of whom showed the same degree of impairment at the

of Oklahoma noted there are many government radars scattered across the country and around the world to track weather and airplanes and these units can also provide biological data.

Frick, who focuses on bats, said, for example, the radar data has helped them deter mine that bats come out of their roosts earlier on hot days in dry years but later on hot days in wet years.

The nationwide system of radars operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration can help researchers understand migratory and other patterns on a large scale, she added.

And the National Climatic Data Center has a 20-year archive of that radar data, she added, which has the potential to show patterns of bird, bat and insect population changes over time.

That data is currently being prepared for analysis, Frick said.

The activity of animals in the air near ground is has not been well explored, noted Thomas H. Kunz of Boston University, who coined the term aeroecology.

He said the radar analysis will assist various types of scientists in improving knowledge of that region.

“It’s very interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary in the sense that it involves bird biologists and bat ecologists, entomologists, radar scientists and meteorologists,” said Frick.

She recalled a breakfast with weather researchers who were talking about “QPE,” or quantitative precipitation estimates using radar.

When she asked what that meant, they explained they could estimate the number of raindrops in a cloud.

“So I asked, can you estimate the number of bats in a bat cloud?” It turned out, the answer was “yes.”

time of diagnosis. Half are bilingual — they’ve spoken two languages regularly for most of their lives. The rest are monolingual.

The bilingual patients had Alzheimer’s symptoms and were diagnosed between four and five years later than the patients who spoke only one language, she told the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Being bilingual does nothing to prevent Alzheimer’s disease from striking. But once the disease does begin its silent attack, those years of robust executive control provide a buf fer so that symptoms don’t become apparent as quickly, Bialystok said.

“They’ve been able to cope with the disease,” she said.

Her work supports an earlier study from other researchers that also found a protective effect.

What is it about being bilingual that enhances that all-important executive control system?

Both languages are essentially turned on all the time, but the brain learns to inhibit the one you don’t need, said psychology professor Teresa Bajo of the University of Granada in Spain. That’s pretty constant activity.

That’s not the only area.

University of British

Columbia psychologist Janet Werker studies infants exposed to two languages from birth to see why they don’t confuse the two, and says bilingual babies learn very early to pay attention better.

Werker tested babies in Spain who were growing up learning both Spanish and Catalan. She showed the babies videos of women speaking languages they’d never heard — English and French — but with the sound off. By measuring the tots’ attention span, Werker concluded that babies could distinguish between English and French simply by watching the speakers’ facial cues. It could have been the different lip shapes.

“It looks like French people are always kissing,” she joked, while the English “th” sound evokes a distinctive lip-in-teeth shape.

Whatever the cues, monolingual babies could not tell the dif ference, Werker said Friday at the meeting. But what if you weren’t lucky enough to be raised bilingual? Scientists and educators know that it becomes far harder to learn a new language after puberty. Partly that’s because adults’ brains are so bombarded with other demands that we don’t give learning a new language the same attention that a young child does, Bialystok said.

Obama advisers report income: They’re rich

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s new chief of staff Bill Daley and incoming senior adviser David Plouffe have filed financial disclosure forms showing — no surprise — they’re rich.

Daley reported getting more than $20 million in salary, bonuses and other income last year. Plouffe’s haul was more modest: His salary and speaking fees topped $1.5 million in 2010.

Daley got much of his income from JPMorgan Chase & Co., where he was a top executive. The White House says he’s recusing himself from any matters involving JPMorgan and also divesting all of his holdings in individual companies.

Federal law requires certain top officials to file the disclosure forms annually. The White House made Plouffe’s and Daley’s available Friday.

NASCAR drivers expecting pay cuts

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Given how the economy’s slow recovery continues to buf fet NASCAR, Greg Biffle believes he and other drivers expecting to sign new deals in the near future are going to experience a market correction.

Although his sponsor, 3M, has weathered the recession and B i f f l e expects them to resign with him and the AP Photo No. 16 team for next Greg Biffle year and beyond, the driver also knows he’ll be taking a significant pay cut in his next contract with Roush Fenway Racing.

“I would think so, just knowing the sponsor dollars are going down,” Biffle said. “The sponsor dollars go down, let’s say, 40 percent or 35 percent. That’s a significant number, so that’s got to come from somewhere. It’s going to be cut back at the team for engineering, personnel, driver salaries, all the way down. We’re going to have to economize what we’re doing to continue on.”

While NASCAR’s economic outlook isn’t as bleak as it had been over the past few years, a sport powered mainly by corporate sponsorship is going to try to control costs.

With that in mind, Biffle doesn’t think he’ll be the only driver taking a pay cut on his next deal.

“I think it’ll be a big adjustment for a lot of people,” Biffle said. “I think it’s going to be a significant amount just because I think sponsor programs are going down. A lot of us had some pretty rich deals in the heyday. It’s going to get reset, there’s no doubt.”

Despite wide-ranging cuts to advertising budgets in recent years, NASCAR officials say there hasn’t been a mass sponsor exodus from the sport.

NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston says the number of sponsors has remained relatively stable — about 400 companies still invest in the sport, including about 100 in the Fortune 500 — even if they have scaled back spending.

Even so, many of the companies that stayed in NASCAR aren’t as willing or able to spend as much.

Maine Huts & Trails

Prosecutors defend Islamic charity case conviction

Cross country skiers ski on Flagstaff Lake in Maine with the Bigelow Range in the background in March 2010.

Nonprofit offers hut-to-hut touring

Lot by lot, parcel by parcel, a jigsaw puzzle nearly 200 miles long is taking shape in Maine’s western mountains.

When it’s completed, the picture it reveals will be a backcountry traveler’s dream.

The nonprofit organization Maine Huts & T rails is fitting together pieces of public, private and Indian lands to create a hut-to-hut touring system that will run from the Bethel area on the New Hampshire border northeast to Moosehead Lake.

The organization already has built three huts, 30 miles of trails and secured the northern 110 miles of the corridor. It plans to eventually have 12 huts spread over the 200 miles and a system of trails linking them that will host skiers and snowshoers in the winter, and hikers, mountain bikers, paddlers and fisherman in the spring, summer and fall.

Placing a chain of huts that offer food and lodging a day’s journey apart allows skiers, hikers and bikers to traverse the backcountry carrying only what they need for a day’s excursion, leaving them unencumbered by sleeping bags, tents or cooking gear. The model has long been popular in Europe, but exists in only a couple of places in the U.S. “The idea is to connect the traditional outdoor communities in western Maine, to create a brand that will attract visitors around the year with the goal of creating jobs so that it is economically feasible,” said Bob Peixotto, the chairman of Maine Huts & Trails’ board. “This area is largely undiscovered by people outside the state. When people think of Maine they think of the area along the coast.”

Longtime cross country and downhill skier Mary Schendel is among those who know better and extolls the virtues of finding a warm hut, a hot shower and good food at

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal prosecutors acknowledged that the government blundered in the prosecution of an Oregon man convicted of helping to smuggle money through an Islamic charity, but said Friday that the errors weren’t serious enough for a new trial. Court documents filed late Friday contain the government’s first accounting for its failure to tell defense lawyers for Pete Seda that the FBI paid a Southern Oregon man for information and discussed paying the informant’s wife, who was a witness against Seda. U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton and three of his assistants said prosecutors and investigators didn’t deliberately withhold information helpful to the defense. Their filing describes numerous mistakes, including communication failures within a team that worked the case for the better part of a decade.

Congressman urged to get psychiatric help

“The huts are an untapped resource in Maine and people are just waking up to them,” said Schendel, an attorney from Cumberland. “They provide access to some of Maine’s most pristine wilderness. They are the realization of an inspired vision.”

That vision is the brainchild of Maine Huts & Trails founder Larry Warren, who first proposed the concept in the early 1970s and has pursued it doggedly ever since, persevering through four decades of meetings, presentations and red tape.

Warren, an accountant by trade, conceived the plan when he was in his mid-20s and serving as selectman in Carrabassett Valley. The home of Sugarloaf ski area, where he worked and later became manager, was looking for a way to create a more viable year-round resort community and Warren suggested they create a hut system modeled on the one the Appalachian Mountain Club operates in New Hampshire’s White Mountains.

The town succeeded in building a touring center in 1974, but Warren found little support for his idea.

“About 90 percent of the land (in Maine) is privately owned, with 90

percent of those owners being a handful of paper companies who weren’t interested in providing access,” said Warren, now 64.

Warren founded the organization that would become Maine Huts & Trails and for the next 25 years he and its members pored over maps, explored partnerships and gave countless presentations to explain the concept and seek support.

“After we uncovered the opportunity it was just such a great idea that we just kept pursuing it,” Warren said. “It wouldn’t die. Every time we came to a corner in the road, the concept was still valid, regardless of the decade, regardless of the economic times.”

But it wasn’t until around 2000 that the state and the paper companies began to see the plan’s merits.

About the same time, the L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery School, the Chewonki Foundation and Rockland-based Outward Bound became involved, helping Maine Huts & Trails sharpen the focus of Warren’s vision.

“We had the objective of tying wester n Maine’s communities together for regional branding and to have the area recognized as a region for healthy, outdooor peoplepowered recreation,” Warren said.

POR TLAND, Ore. (AP) — A newspaper report says aides to U.S. Rep. David Wu were so alarmed over the Democrat’s erratic behavior just before the November elections that they urged him to enter a hospital to get psychiatric treatment.

The Oregonian, citing interviews with a number of anonymous staff members, reports on its website Friday evening that Wu was increasingly unpredictable on the campaign trial and in private last fall.

The report says several aides and a psychiatrist confronted Wu about his behavior three days before the Nov. 2 election.

The newspaper says the 55-year -old Wu declined to be interviewed for the story.

But his office provided a statement late Friday with the congressman saying he hasn’t always been at his best with staf f and constituents and that he’s sought professional medical care.

The ‘blackest name’ in America

99% of people with the surname Washington are African-American

George Washington’s name is inseparable from America, and not only from the nation’s history. It identifies countless streets, buildings, mountains, bridges, monuments, cities — and people.

In a puzzling twist, most of these people are black.

The 2000 U.S. Census counted 163,036 people with the surname Washington. Ninety percent of them were African-American, a far higher black percentage than for any other common name.

The story of how Washington became the “blackest name” begins with slavery and takes a sharp turn after the Civil War, when all blacks were allowed the dignity of a surname.

Even before Emancipation, many enslaved black people chose their own sur-

names to establish their identities. Afterward, some historians theorize, large numbers of blacks chose the name Washington in the process of asserting their freedom.

Today there are black Washingtons, like this writer, who are often identified as African-American by people they have never met.

There are white Washingtons who are sometimes misidentified and have felt discrimination. There are Washingtons of both races who view the name as a special — if complicated — gift.

And there remains the presence of George, born 279 years ago on Feb. 22, whose complex relationship with slavery echoes in the blackness of his name today. George Washington inherited land and 10 human beings from his father, and gained more of both as he grew older. But over the decades, as he recognized slavery’s contradiction with the freedoms of the new nation, Washing-

ton grew opposed to human bondage.

Still, “slaves were the basis of his fortune,” and he would not part with them, says Ron Chernow, author of the new biography Washington: A Life.

By the standards of the time, Washington was not a harsh slaveowner. He recognized marriages and refused to sell off individual family members. But he also worked his slaves quite hard. As president, he shuttled them between his Philadelphia residence and Virginia estate to evade a law that freed any slave residing in Pennsylvania for six months.

While in Philadelphia, Oney Judge, Martha Washington’s maid, lear ned Martha was planning one day to give her to an illtempered granddaughter.

Judge disappeared. According to Cher now’s book, Washington abused his presidential powers and asked the Treasury Department to kidnap Judge from her new life in New Hamp-

shire. The plot was unsuccessful.

“Washington was leading this schizoid life,” Chernow says. “In theory and on paper he was opposed to slavery, but he was still zealously tracking and seeking to recover his slaves who escaped.”

In his final years on his Mount Vernon plantation, Washington said that “nothing but the rooting out of slavery can perpetuate the existence of our union.”

This led to extraordinary instructions in his will that all 124 of his slaves should be freed after the death of his wife. Washington also ordered that the younger black people be educated or taught a trade, and he set aside money to care for the sick or aged.

Twelve American presidents were slaveowners.

Washington is the only one who set all of his black people free.

It's a myth that most enslaved blacks bore the last name of their owner.

Only a handful of George Washington's hundreds of slaves did, for example, and he recorded most as having just a first name, says Mary Thompson, the historian at Mount Vernon.

Still, many enslaved blacks had surnames that went unrecorded, says historian Henry Wiencek, author of "An Imper fect God: George Washington, His Slaves, and the Creation of America."

Some chose names as a mark of community identity, which could be the plantation of a current or recent owner, Wiencek says, and those names could have provided some advantages or protection after the Civil War. Sometimes blacks used the surname of the owner of their oldest known ancestor, as a way to maintain their identity.

Last names also could have been plucked out of thin air.

The famous ex-slave Booker T. Washington was a boy when Emancipation

came to his Virginia plantation.

He had been called only "Booker" until enrolling in school.

"When the teacher asked me what my full name was, I calmly told him, 'Booker Washington,'" he wrote in his autobiography, "Up from Slavery."

He gives no indication why the name Washington popped into his head. But George Washington, dead for only 60-odd years, had immense fame and respect at the time.

His will had been widely published in pamphlet for m, and it was well known that he had freed his slaves.

Did enslaved people feel inspired by Washington and take his name in tribute? Were they seeking some benefits from the association? Did newly freed people take the name as a mark of devotion to their country?

"We just don't know," Weincek says.

Member of Elvis’ ‘Memphis Mafia’ dies about music, about life, about living life to the fullest,” he said.

James Fike said his father held various roles with Presley, including as a lighting director, bodyguard and managing Presley’s music publishing group.

After Presley’s death in 1977, James Fike said that his father continued to work as an entrepreneur in the music business in Nashville, Tenn., in music publishing, managing artists and brokering music and memorabilia deals.

He said that in 2006, his father moved to Texas, where he had relatives.

James Fike said that his

DALLAS (AP) — Lamar Fike, a member of Elvis Presley’s famed inner circle called the “Memphis Mafia” who had a long career in the music industry, has died. He was 75.

Fike, who was suffering from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, died Jan. 21 at a hospital in the Dallas suburb of Arlington, said his son, James Fike, 45, of Atlanta.

“He did everything first-class.

He was very brilliant. He had a tremendous presence. When he walked in a room, he lit it up,” said David Stanley, Presley’s stepbrother who first met Fike as a toddler.

“He taught me so much

father, a great storyteller, would recall when Presley and the “Memphis Mafia” would decide they needed a cheeseburger somewhere and hop on their plane to take them to whatever city they chose.

“He was a character. He always had these stories,” James Fike said.

Stanley said that Lamar Fike was “like a father figure to me.”

“Him and Elvis were the best of friends, so obviously he was part of the family,” Stanley said.

Stanley said that Fike, who had been working on a memoir of his time with Presley and a screenplay, was the kind of guy

who would call him up and say to meet him in a city just to spend some time in the best hotels, eating at the best restaurants.

Fike was among five members of the group dubbed the “Memphis Mafia” who incorporated the name in the early 1990s.

Fike was born in Cleveland, Miss., on Nov. 11, 1935. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Joan Fike. In addition to James Fike, he is survived another son, John Fike, of Nashville, Tenn. A memorial service is set for Feb. 26 in Mart, a town about 25 miles east of Waco.
