State agencies hiring

President Barack Obama holds a round table discussion with CEOs and business leaders in Mumbai, India, Saturday.

SANTA FE (AP) — Despite a hiring freeze in state gover nment, some state agencies in New Mexico are hiring new employees. Hundreds of exemptions have been granted to the freeze since it was implemented in November 2008. The Department of Game and Fish has 28 openings. Those positions are fewer than half of the vacancies in the department, said Lance Cherry, the agency’s spokesman. He said the agency has been very conservative, but really need to fill these posts, which include jobs for game wardens, zoologists, wildlife supervisors and an IT specialist. Lawmakers have criticized the freeze as nothing

MUMBAI, India (AP) — Searching for help half a world away, President Barack Obama on Saturday embraced India as the next jobs-creating giant for hurting Americans, not a cheap-labor rival that outsources opportunity from the United States. Obama was determined to show tangible, economic results on his long Asia trip, and that was apparent from almost the moment he set foot on a steamy afternoon in the world’s largest democracy. By the end of the first of his three days in

India, he was promoting $10 billion in trade deals — completed in time for his visit — that the White House says will create about 54,000 jobs at home. That’s a modest gain compared with the extent of the enduring jobless crisis in the United States. Economists say it would require on the level of 300,000 new jobs a month to put a real dent in an unemployment rate stuck near 10 percent. Yet to Obama, the bigger picture was the lucrative potential of an unleashed

trading relationship between India and the United States. He seemed comfortable and energized away from Washington, days removed from the GOP’s election thumping. “For America, this is a jobs strategy,” Obama said of his emphasis on trade, although it could stand as a motto for his 10-day trip. He is spending today with young people in Mumbai and then heading onto meetings in New Delhi, the See OBAMA, Page A7

CASA advocates for children in the community See STATE, Page A7

JONATHAN ENTZMINGER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Chaves County CASA, a United Way agency, has been in the community for 23 years. “We supervise and train CASA volunteers to advocate in court for abused and neglected children,” Carrie-Leigh Cloutier, CASA executive director, said. “When a child is so abused that they have to be taken away from their parents and put into foster care, a CASA volunteer becomes

involved. They make sure the children get everything they need.” CASA’s volunteer advocacy program is funded by United Way. The non-profit has 12 youth advocacy programs that work out of its main office at 500 N. Main St., Suite 310. Programs serve about 1,000 abused, neglected and at-risk children every year.

“Children are safe because of us,” Cloutier said. “Children are in happy homes because of us. Cycled violence ends because of us.“ According to Cloutier, tough economic times are threatening CASA’s funding for a few programs. However, she said the agency has another need to fill. “Even more than money, we need volunteers,” Cloutier said. “We need volunteers who are willing to go through 30 hours of training and are willing to

take on some of the hardest volunteer work that there is.” To absorb the impact that CASA might take from the recession, they’re holding an auction called Winter Wonderland at First American Bank, 111 E. 5th St., on Nov. 18. Donations for the auction can be dropped off at First American and its norther n branch at 3220 N. Main St. Xcel Energy, the Roswell Chamber of Commerce and

Volunteers grab bags, don T-shirts, gloves and Trek for Trash EMILY RUSSO MILLER RECORD STAFF WRITER

Nor mally, criminals wearing orange jumpsuits are the ones who are forced to pick up trash from the sides of roads. But this weekend, more than 400 volunteers donned bright orange T -shirts with the slogan “T rek for T rash” written across the chest and cheerfully cleaned up litter from Main Street and Roswell’s surrounding neighborhoods. “I hate trashy places, so I’m going to pick it up,” Alex Castillo said as he picked up his free T -shirt and trash bags at the Roswell Civic and Conven-

tion Center, Friday. He said that he was going to clean up Poe Corn Park on South Garden Avenue. The litter control event was sponsored by NM Clean & Beautiful, a program of the New Mexico Tourism Department, that organizes two state-wide cleanups annually: The Great American Cleanup in the spring and T rek for Trash in the fall. “It’s a challenge by the government to initiate programs for litter eradication, beautification and promoting waste management,” Renee Roach, the Keep Roswell Beautiful coordinator, said. Last year, volunteers

removed more than 25 tons of debris from the city, and Roach hopes to meet that goal once again. Participants received a VIP card for the Roswell Municipal Landfill, which would otherwise charge a penny and a half to dump a pound of trash. “We’re really trying this time to focus on neighborhoods,” Roach said, noting that statistics show a correlation between crime and the cleanliness of neighborhoods. “It sends a signal to thieves, vandals and loiterers that we’re watching them, especially as we embark on the holiday season.” Neighborhood Watch,

Anxiety includes many disorders Jessica Palmer Record Staff Writer

Anxiety tops the list of mental health disorders. According to the General Archives of Psychiatry, 18.1 percent of the population will suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder in his lifetime. The category encompasses a number of disorders including phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder. A panic disorder is differentiated from a panic attack by the length and severity of the symptoms, said Dr. Ron Anderson of Life Link Institute. A panic attack has a sudden onset and is characterized by intense fear or terror. It is inappropriate to the situation. In other words, there is no reason for fear. Symptoms include racing heart, shortness of breath, chest pain, sweating and dizziness. A panic disorder refers to a disabling feeling of fear generated by a series of panic attacks, which leaves the person unable to cope because of the possibility of future attacks. Phobias are many and varied. They can be specific, such as arachnophobia, debilitating fear of spiders, to general agoraphobia,

will wash his or her hands excessively. Another manifestation may be counting, turning on and off lights repeatedly to gain assurance that the “job” is done. Depression will often accompany anxiety, said Anderson. The person may know that washing one’s hands until they are raw is excessive, and become depressed because he or she feels unable to control the behavior. Conversely, the individual may be depressed and develop a “formula,” such as counting, to combat the feelings of helplessness or loss of control experienced as result of the depression. The formula is something like a magic spell to relieve the tension generated by the anxiety. What differentiates anxiety that most people experience at some point in their lives from an anxiety disorder is the fact that the anxiety is inappropriate to the situation. It is excessive. The agoraphobic individual will not go outside. The clinophobic victim is afraid to sleep for fear of dying. An anxiety disorder interferes with the ability to live a normal life and develop healthy relationships, explained Anderson. It may in the extreme prohibit a person from holding a job.

which often is oversimplified as fear of open spaces. However, agoraphobia refers to fear of situations, such as crowds, where escape is difficult. Acute anxiety disorder and PTSD occur after a traumatic experience, such as a mugging or a rape, Anderson said. With an acute anxiety disorder, the person usually recovers within a month. If the symptoms persist, then it is considered PTSD. People with AAD and PTSD will continue to reexperience the event, in flashbacks or dreams. They will be hyper -vigilant and hyper-reactive. The sufferer will develop avoidance behavior, and go to great lengths to avoid situations that are similar to or appear similar to the event or those circumstances that led up to the event. A rape victim may develop a distrust of all men. The National Institute of Mental Health notes the symptoms of PTSD include irritability and difficulty sleeping. Such individuals are easily startled, or hyper-reactive and may fly into a rage. Obsessive-compulsive disorder also results from fear. However, it leads to behaviors that appear bizarre, but provide comfort to the suf ferer. The individual afraid of disease

RPD files more charges against Smith JESSICA PALMER RECORD STAFF WRITER

The Roswell Police Department filed additional charges against Tommy Smith, 19, Friday morning, for intimidation and retaliation of a witness after Smith allegedly threatened to kill the 15-year-old victim as soon as he was released from jail. The warrant was served at Chaves County Detention Center where Smith is currently awaiting trial on charges of criminal sexual penetration of a minor. Bond was set for these charges at a $5,000 cashonly. This follows an additional count of criminal sexual penetration being filed against Steven Perez, 19, on Thursday afternoon.

false imprisonment and the rape of a minor in an incident that took place on Oct. 2. This has been part of an ongoing investigation. Police issued a statement on Oct. 7 seeking public assistance in locating three suspects wanted in connection with a case of kidnapping and criminal sexual penetration of a minor. Around 10 p.m. that night, members of RPD’s SWAT team raided the Frontier Motel, 3010 N. Main St., in response to a tip that Smith and Ortega were staying in the motel. The following day, Smith turned himself in to the police. Perez and Ortega were arrested on Oct. 8, after RPD received a second tip that the suspects were at a residence in the 100 block of North Lea Avenue.

Smith, Ortega and Perez were also charged with abandonment and abuse of a child, along with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Friday morning. The charges pertain to an unrelated incident and follow the discovery of video footage on a cell phone with the three subjects smoking marijuana in front of a child. j.palmer@roswell-record.com

Drug cartels disrupt basic services in Mexico Roswell Daily Record

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Five Pemex workers went to their jobs at a governmentowned gas compression plant near the Texas border six months ago and never retur ned. Masked men, apparently members of a drug cartel operating there, had warned employees of Petroleos Mexicanos that they were no longer allowed to enter the area. Around the same time in May, three inspectors for Mexico’s Environment Department headed into the wooded mountains west of Mexico City to investigate a pollution complaint. Their tortured bodies were found the next day. Authorities said they stumbled onto a drug lab. With killings and disappearances to assert their authority, Mexico’s drug cartels are beginning to interfere with everyday government activities in pockets of the country, keeping workers off their turf and interrupting some of the most basic services. Not only do they maintain checkpoints and kill police or mayors to control territory, they now try to keep everyone from midlevel officials to delivery truck drivers and meter readers out of rural areas they use to transport drugs, stash weapons and kidnap victims, and hide from authorities. In the process, they are blocking deliveries of gasoline, pension checks, farm aid and other services to Mexicans. Cartels also rob or extort people receiving government checks, as organized crime branches out from drug running into other illegal businesses. These interruptions have even affected the U.S., as agricultural inspections at the border have slowed. The recent search for the body of a missing American tourist on a border lake was suspended under threats of drug-cartel violence and the assassination

of the police commander in charge of the search. “Everything’s stopped,” said Maria Luz Hopkins, a 69-year -old retiree in Tubutama, south of the Arizona border city of Nogales. “There’s no construction. Nobody is working the fields because they don’t have gasoline or diesel. The people that used to bring gasoline, they don’t come. How can people work?” Hopkins complained to officials in the Sonora state capitol, Hermosillo, when the gover nment stopped delivering pension checks. She said they came last month in a convoy of about 20 heavily armed trucks after missing a bimonthly payment over the summer. Federal officials say these are isolated incidents, and deny there is any area of the country where the government can’t operate; as evidence, they point to the 2009 congressional elections and the 2010 census. “There might have been incidents, but this doesn’t mean that gover nment business is stopping anyplace in the country,” said federal security spokesman Alejandro Poire, while adding, “if and when it happens, federal forces, if need be, will be there to enforce the law and keep government business operating normally.” But in pockets along the border or in the mountains of the interior, fleeting army patrols and brief visits by census or poll workers can hardly count as government control. Even military personnel are nervous and insist on wearing ski masks to avoid identification. For Pemex, the kidnappings are “a broad problem,” says General Director Juan Suarez Coppel, much larger than one plant and growing, according to figures provided under a freedom-of-information request filed by The Associated

Press. A total of 10 Pemex employees or subcontractors were kidnapped in four Mexican states in 2010, compared with only one in 2009, two in 2008 and three in 2007. Pemex, the country’s largest single industry, supplying about 40 percent of the federal government revenues, would not offer estimates on what financial losses such attacks have caused. The company could not say what happened to the victims, or how much production had been lost because of the security problems in border states such as Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, and the Gulf coast states of Veracruz and Tabasco. “There have been a series of situations in the norther n part of Tamaulipas state and part of (neighboring) Nuevo Leon state that have made it difficult to operate,” Carlos Morales Gil, the director of Pemex Exploration and Production, said in a written reply to The Associated Press. The problems go beyond Pemex. Vehicles carrying the village of Tubutama’s comptroller and director of public works were attacked by bandits and the officials gunned down in June. Electricity flows freely because meter readers refuse to go there, said one rancher, who asked that his name not be published because he fears for his safety near the Mexico-Arizona border.

to classes, and shelves of general stores are bare because suppliers won’t truck in supplies to the town of 1,500. Many townspeople have fled — the rancher estimates 70 percent — because they feel the gover nment cannot protect them, as have their counterparts in Ciudad Juarez and smaller towns along the Texas-Mexico border. The federal gover nment also stopped delivering cash under President Felipe Calderon’s anti-poverty program, Oportunidades, said the rancher, whose extended family fled Tubutama earlier this year. The Oportunidades program says it has suffered 134 robberies of town or village deliveries in the last 2 1/2 years, a loss of about 142 million pesos ($1.1 million dollars). Most robberies occur in the area known as the “Golden Triangle,” where the drugplagued states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa and Durango meet, according to the federal Department of Social Development, which administers the program. The loss is a tiny percentage of the program total of about 25 billion pesos (about $2 billion) annually. Officials say they usually try to reschedule a new delivery within days for affected areas, where the handouts are almost the only source of cash income. But in some cases, it takes weeks. In the border Chihuahua state that includes Ciudad Juarez, drug gangs — and criminals working for or tolerated by them — have grown so power ful and

brazen that they rob aid checks from local farmers. Names of those receiving aid are made public as part of a federal program of transparency and accountability. Farmers say the practice makes them targets for extortion. Federal Agriculture Secretary Francisco Mayorga acknowledged a problem with delivering farm aid to the area. “We are legally required to publish the names of the beneficiaries, but we unfortunately have a risk to their security,” Mayorga said. Chihuahua farm groups last month asked his department to stop the practice. “They tell some people, ‘We’ll burn your ranch,’ and they will tell other people, “Hey, you have children, something could happen to them ... unless you give me the money,”’ said Ruben Chavez, the leader of the Unipro farm cooperative in

OPINION

SANTA FE — Exactly two years ago, we told you the Republican Party would not die despite many pundit predictions to the contrary. Some of those predictions by prestigious news organizations continued for over a year. We’re here to tell you once more that the “shellacking” national Democrats just received does not signal an upcoming death for that party either. It doesn’t work that way. Both parties have strong internal structures that don’t break down because of one loss. Heck, some people even say the New Mexico Lobos and Dallas Cowboys will be back. But don’t bet on it just yet. Democrats will be back sooner. One item both parties may need to work on is the national consultants who come out to help candidates. Consultants for both gubernatorial candidates were widely panned for not knowing New Mexicans. During the past few months,

Jeanette and I have had the opportunity to travel to some of our neighboring states and we heard the same political ads as we did at home. Only the names were changed. These guys get paid a ton of money but they’re just using a national template.

And all Republican candidates wanted “our government back.” Interestingly, that stock phrase changed from wanting their “country” back a few months ago. At least Republicans have some flexi-

bility. Denish’s consultants came in for the most criticism, probably because she lost — and by a significant margin. It was thought that she helped Bill Richardson in eastern New Mexico. In their first election, he won Lea County, where Denish grew up, by one vote. He bragged often about that accomplishment. Four years later, they carried every county but Catron. Richardson’s strength in the southeast was again credited to Denish. So it is little wonder that despite Denish’s lack of involvement in Richardson’s administration, the two were very much tied together when it benefited Richardson. And that likely hurt Denish most. This year, she only won seven of 32 counties, including losing Lea County by a 3-1 margin. It just wasn’t her year. But this might have been the year for either Steve Pearce or Heather Wilson. Both gave up their

U.S. House seats to run for the U.S. Senate after Sen. Pete Domenici’s retirement two years ago. After failing in that bid, both were considered the top Republican gubernatorial prospects for this year. The only problem was that Lt. Gov. Denish looked pretty unbeatable at the time. She already had a bankroll of $2 million and the GOP was in shambles. Pearce decided early to run for his former U.S. House seat but Wilson delayed a decision for months. When she finally decided not to run, she was criticized by GOP leaders for delaying the campaigns of a group of virtually unknown candidates who needed more time to introduce themselves to voters. As it turned out, one of those unknown candidates waltzed to a rather easy victory. Wilson says her political career isn’t over. If the GOP is still looking strong a year from now, might she challenge Sen. Jeff Bingaman? Or

might Sen. Bingaman, who has hinted at retirement previously, decide to hang up his running shoes? He doesn’t need the work. Last Tuesday’s election results signaled some strong showings by several candidates who just may be considering a future candidacy. Republican Jon Barela threw a scare into 1st Congressional District Rep. Martin Heinrich. In fact, all Republicans ran strong statewide races. The amount of advertising from attorney general candidate Matt Chandler, of Clovis, signals his interest in future tries. His father, former state Sen. Caleb Chandler, has taught him well. On the Democratic side, Gary King and Patricia Madrid are always looking. And state auditor Hector Balderas is frequently mentioned.

Dems dumped over economy

First, the caveats: A few elections around the country were still close, some may not be decided for days, and California may run counter to trend. Still, the most accurate thing to be said about Tuesday’s resounding rejection of Democrats is that it represents a huge rebuff to President Barack Obama and his overambitious agenda, although it hardly represents an endorsement of Republicans. Even as the dust settles, however, a few things seem fairly clear. Insofar as the opposition won rather than the Democrats lost, this was a victory for what could be called economic conservatives, people concerned primarily about excessive spending and growing deficits. Neither tea partiers nor establishment Republicans were specific on what kinds of spending cuts they would make, but they offered at least lip service to the idea. Social issues such as gay marriage, abortion or perceived moral decline played almost no role in the campaign. This is not surprising given the seriousness of the financial/economic crisis that has lingered for so long. But it is significant. What voters seemed to care most about is economic recovery and returning people to work. That perception should guide both parties going forward. And most voters seem to think we have had too much government intervention, not too little. That said, actually limiting government and reducing spending are not easy, given existing institutional incentives. Republicans won control of Congress in 1994 with stated plans to eliminate more than 90 superfluous or overlapping government agencies. By 2000 all those agencies were still in place, and most had seen their budgets double. Republicans closed ranks during this election and minimized their differences, but the divisions will return in coming weeks and months: economic vs. social conservatives, fiscal hawks vs. big-government neoconservatives. They will have to understand that they were elected not because they are Republicans but because they are not Democrats. They will have a small window within which to show they are constructive and serious about limiting government. Every election brings forth a few new “stars.” One of the most likely to emerge from this one is Marco Rubio, the new senator from Florida. If he is shrewd he could bolster Hispanic support for the beleaguered GOP, and will almost certainly emerge as a national figure. However, treating Cuban-Americans, Mexican-Americans and other Latin American-derived citizens as a monolithic voting bloc is inaccurate and a little insulting. What happens next depends to a great extent on President Obama. Can he pivot toward a more moderate approach as President Clinton did after 1994, or is that not in his nature? He might try to pivot to a focus on foreign affairs, but it’s hard to identify a likely triumph for him. At least the record shows that, on balance, a divided government in Washington is better for the economy than active intervention. Guest Editorial The Orange County Register DEAR DR. GOTT: Thank you for your balanced, sensible and unbiased information. It is a breath of fresh air. My husband has a problem with spontaneous gagging. It does not seem to be related to eating, foreign objects or any activity in particular. It has caused him to pull the car over or stop talking with clients. This has been going on for almost a year. We have had monitoring of his throat for acid reflux, and he did have some, but the rise in acid doesn’t seem to correspond with the gagging, and medication doesn’t make a difference. He has tried over -the-counter medications as well as prescriptions. He has also had an endoscopic procedure, which showed no polyps.

Many ways city can promote prosperity As the Roswell Daily Record hit the front yard early Wednesday morning, the message was clear … New Mexico is headed in a new direction. Under the leadership of governor-elect Susana Martinez, we place our faith and our hope. Our faith is governed by the honesty and integrity of her leadership and our hope is governed by the strength and courage of her convictions. Political decisions and consequences are challenging for any elected official, but the benefits of “doing the right thing for the right reason,” is well worth the ef fort.

I would greatly appreciate any information you can provide; our doctors seem to be at a dead end.

The most likely cause is GERD. Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a common condition in which acid backwashes into the throat. Reflux, either chronic or occasional, can be the result of excess acid production; a weak or improperly functioning hiatus (the ring of muscle that connects the esophagus and stomach); hiatal hernia (in which a portion of the stomach slides into the esophagus or alongside it in the chest cavity); diet/lifestyle; etc. Symptoms can include a burning sensation within the

chest, a sour taste in the mouth, dry cough, regurgitation of food or liquids (which may result in gagging), sore throat, chest pain, difficulty swallowing (which may cause gagging) and more. People with reflux do not always experience symptoms, and for some, symptoms may appear unrelated. Just because your husband’s gagging does not appear to be related to the acid reflux doesn’t mean that it isn’t. I suggest your husband make some moderate lifestyle changes to see whether his symptoms improve. He should exercise on a regular basis; avoid fatty, greasy and acidic foods; and consume more whole grains, fruits and vegeta-

And, to the degree that those services are rendered, we are able to determine our quality of life. With that in mind, it is easy to understand that Roswell’s quality of life becomes the means by which we grow and prosper. And, if you were to put our community to the test, I believe that we would stand proud against other cities of comparable size. That’s a great position to be in, but it doesn’t come without a cost.

You choose the influencers in your life OPINION II

Roswell Daily Record

Who in this world influences your life? We all are influenced by others. We don’t live our lives in a vacuum. We are not each born on a remote island with no one around. We don’t live our lives with an abundance of food, clothing and shelter automatically provided without us ever having to lift a finger. Studies have shown that the average American receives between 2,200 and 3,500 new pieces of information in a typical day. Wow! Just thinking about this makes me tired. There are countless categories this information falls into. The information may be a red stoplight, a commercial, a phone call, a smile from a stranger, a gust of wind as you cross a street, a broken heel on your shoe, a hug from your grandchild, or an article in the newspaper. You get the idea. Included in the above number is that each day we average 240 requests of our time. These may be a family member asking a question, a fellow employee asking for instructions, a phone call from a telemarketer, or an e-mail asking for input on an issue. So how do we get up each day, get out of bed, keep our heads up and maneuver our way through a day of influences? Some days are easier than others. Given a day without any influences, what path would we take? We would likely get bored missing the excitement that life provides. How do we decide what we let

Other possibilities include vagus-nerve impingement, esophageal spasms, smoking and achalasia. Achalasia is rare, occurring in about one in 100,000 people, so this is not likely the problem. It causes regurgitation and difficulty swallowing, both of which can result in gagging. Esophageal spasms are abnor mal muscle contractions within the throat that typically causes pain and dif ficulty

influence us? More importantly, how do we decide who influences us? One of my favorite sayings is “Life is 10 percent what happens and 90 percent how we respond.” Let me explain this truth in reverse order. The 90 percent response arises countless times throughout the day. How do you respond when someone cuts you off as you drive to the grocery store, when someone yells at you, when someone opens the door for you, when someone calls you in tears? You choose your response. You choose how you let each of these events influence your world. The 90 percent response to the 10 percent is critical. It is what life is all about. It is how you let the influences in your world impact you. The 90 percent determines if you face each day with vigor and a proactive approach or if you drag from sun-up to sun-down letting others control your quality of life. With this foundation laid, I want to go back to the opening question, “Who in this world influences your life?” Let me focus the rest of this column on the segment of the

swallowing. Vagus-nerve impingement can cause nausea, vomiting, gagging and more, but it is most common in people who have had sinus surgery or head injury. Smoking is another common cause of gagging that is often overlooked. Smokers, especially heavy smokers, are damaging their lungs with the habit, and as the damage progresses, excess fluid and mucus can accumulate in the lungs and drip down the back of the throat. This situation can cause dif ficulty breathing, coughing, a choking sensation and gagging until the mucus can be expelled. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health

10 percent that you can control. If you pulled out a pad of paper and listed the 25 individuals who influence your life the most, who would be on the list? And if you listed them in order from the greatest influence on down, what order would you put them in? Your list might include a spouse, children, parents, close relatives, friends, a boss, co-workers, a pastor, congregation members, people you visit with in organizations you are active with. The order in which they influence you is also important. Are you influenced more by a close friend than you are your spouse? Does your boss influence you more than your pastor? Understand that you control you. Also understand that others influence you to think the thoughts you think and to take the actions that you take. Remember, we don’t live in a vacuum. A teenager is more apt to commit a crime if he hangs with others who commit crimes. A mother is more apt to go to a weekly Bible study if her friends are active in Bible studies. Let me go a step further with this line of thought. With the exception of the family you are born into, you choose who influences you. None of us chose our parents. This was done by God. But outside this scope, each of us chooses who is impacting our lives. You chose your spouse. You choose where you work. You

choose where you live. You choose where you go to church. You choose what organizations you belong to. If you think through a typical week in your life and ask yourself why you do what you do, in virtually every instance you will realize that what you have chosen to get involved in started with an individual or individuals who influenced you to get involved. You were placed in the path of another and he or she has influenced your life in a direction that you have chosen to move. So we get back to the base question, who is influencing your life? Are the influencers in your life adding to you or taking from you? Are you a better person because of those who influence you? As a result of each relationship, are you a better mother, a better son, a better friend, a better coach, a better banker, a better teacher, a better husband, a better citizen, a better member of our community?

The program is called New Mexico Youth ChalleNGe Academy, located at 131 Earl Cummings Loop. This program is wonderful to help 16- to 18-year-olds get a firm foundation for their future. They offer education, discipline and structure to at risk students so they can be contributing members to our society. Let’s not give up on the youth of our country and state.

Are these influencers adding to your world or are they causing you to make stupid decisions? My challenge to you today is to first recognize that you control you. The choices you make are not anyone else’s fault, they are yours to be proud of or yours to seek forgiveness for. Either way the actions you select cause consequences. Once you recognize the control and responsibility you have over your own life, determine if your influencers are good choices. If there is someone who you are allowing to influence your world in a negative manner, evaluate the relationship. Take action if necessary. It may be necessary to end the relationship or to redefine it. If a relationship is darkening your light, you can’t be the person you need to be. Recognize that you control who influences you. You have chosen the influencers in your life. You are accountable for you and the impact the influencers have on your life. Just a thought ...

comes from our ability to generate gross receipts tax revenues. Our GRT is proportionate to the dollars spent with our local merchants. The more money spent, the greater our tax revenues. The more money available, the more money spent. The more money earned, the more money available. If these statements are true, and I believe they are, then it is also true that the more payroll that we can generate through good paying jobs, the more revenues the city will have to provide our services. And that, my friends is the reason that economic development is a vital component to any thriving community. As your mayor, I am driven by the concept of putting people back to work. There are few things more rewarding than a paycheck. A paycheck allows you to provide for your family, it allows you to tithe to your charity of choice and it allows you to establish a strong self worth. Having a job renews your hope, it strengthens your determination and it adds value to the person you want to be. An honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay is what made our nation great and, in order to return that kind of greatness to Roswell, we will need to make significant strides toward helping our friends and neighbors find the work they so desperately seek. Economic development is about wealth building … it’s about job creation … and it works best when partnerships between government and private business are created. Economic development is not easy. It requires a commitment on the part of all parties, and is only as strong as the parties allow. In a typical scenario, business looks for suitable locations, while cities present themselves as suitable. Once an interest is generated, then business wants to explore the quality of life, educational resources and availability of buildings/land. Oftentimes, financial incentives are discussed, as well as the quantity and quality of available workers. Once information is gathered, companies complete their due diligence and

decisions are finalized. Sounds easy enough, but what they’re not telling you are the underlying truths. These are the concerns that cause many employment opportunities to fail. When companies look at quality of life issues, they are looking at the attitude and aptitude of our citizens. They want to experience good customer service when they enter a place of business. They want to evaluate the skill and educational level of our workforce, and whether or not drug testing will provide the required results. And many times, companies will want to know if a community is willing to make financial investments in themselves (typically through monetary incentives) before the company invests millions of dollars into the community. That battery of tests is pretty basic in the world of economic development, yet communities find themselves unprepared to succeed. I believe that the citizens of Roswell want what is best for Roswell. Let’s agree to succeed and to make success happen. I encourage those who are currently employed to treat your customers the way that you would want to be treated. I encourage those who are looking for work to polish your skills, to recommit yourself to the quality of workmanship that suits you best and to realize the importance of good health and a drug free lifestyle. And finally, I encourage our youth to consider the pursuits of college and a professional career in the place that we call home. Companies like to know that they will have a talented pool of employees to learn the trade and move into management positions. Roswell has so much to offer … I encourage you to be a part of our future. In a world of competitive positioning, Roswell needs to have confidence that we can succeed. We don’t choose to be the biggest and we don’t choose to be the busiest … we just choose to be the best! And together, there is no doubt that we can put our best foot forward and start this journey. One step at a time, with trust and confidence, let’s work together to bring jobs, and hope and prosperity back to our little corner of the universe. Del

GOP makes big gains in New Mexico House Roswell Daily Record

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Cathrynn Brown of Carlsbad faced a headwind as a Republican trying to unseat a veteran Democratic lawmaker two years ago while the nation elected President Barack Obama and Democrats swept all three New Mexico congressional seats. But last week, Brown emerged victorious from her rematch with state Rep. John Heaton, D-Carlsbad, amid a much dif ferent political climate. This time, Republicans made big gains nationally and it was reflected in sev-

a $260 million budget shortfall. “We all have to work together to resolve, as much as possible, the situation we’re in,” Lujan said. When Republican Gary Johnson was governor from 1995 to 2002, he battled constantly with the Democratic-led Legislature. Unable to win approval for many of his proposals, Johnson used his veto power to kill measures passed by Democrats and to slow the growth of government spending. It remains uncertain how

much the greater GOP numbers in the House will help Republican Gov.-elect Susana Martinez as she deals with Democrats in the Legislature. “We have great hopes of working with the legislators. We want to work with them. We want to reach across the aisle,” Martinez said at a postelection news conference. In the Carlsbad area, Brown made overhauling Santa Fe a foundation of this year’s campaign — just like Martinez in the governor’s race.

If the unofficial returns hold, Democrats will retain a slim 37-33 majority in the House — a chamber that was key to Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson pushing his policies through the Legislature, particularly when he ran into opposition in the more conservative Senate. “This really changes the dynamics of the House quite a bit,” said House GOP Leader Tom Taylor of Farmington. Republicans will be entitled to more seats on committees, making it more dif-

ficult for Democrats to ram through bills over the objections of the minority party. It’s usually in committees where legislation is fine-tuned — or bottled up. “Things are just going to be more deliberative. ... You can’t just have total control of things as we’ve had in the past,” Taylor said. House Speaker Ben Lujan, D-Santa Fe, said New Mexico’s looming budget problems would have forced more compromise in the Legislature even if Republicans hadn’t made gains. The state faces

trade and global commerce as the source of a job shipped overseas. Seeking to dismiss all “old stereotypes,” Obama said the relationship between the countries is “creating jobs, growth, and higher living standards in both our countries. And that is the truth.” In the fallout of the U.S. elections, in which Democrats lost control of the House and Obama’s ability to connect with his country was called into doubt, the president said one les-

son learned was the need to set a better tone with business leaders. He was effusive on that front in Mumbai, gathering with top U.S. executives and studying up on their commerce with India. “Just around this table you’re seeing billions of dollars in orders from U.S. companies, tens of thousands of jobs being supported,” he said. “We’re a potential that has barely been scratched.” The White House arranged for four Ameri-

can chief executives who are in India for the occasion to brief reporters traveling with the president. They played up the importance of India as a trading partner and praised Obama’s decision to come to the country to underscore that point in person. Progress will take much more than public understanding. India’s infrastructure remains an impediment to progress. And Obama’s challenged India on the sore spot of shrinking its own barriers to trade and foreign

investment. But his larger message was one of the united values and missions of the two largest democracies in the world. Making that point, Obama even generated some laughter at his own expense, of fering a reminder of the troubles at home. “Our countries are blessed with the most effective form of government the world has ever known: democracy,” he said. “Even if it can be slow at times. Even if it can be messy. Even if,

sometimes, the election doesn’t turn out as you’d like.” Onkar Kanwar, chairman of India’s largest tire manufacturer, Apollo Tyres, said he appreciated the symbolism of Obama’s coming to India during his first term and choosing to visit Mumbai first. “Ties are getting closer and closer, which needs to be done. ... This demonstrates his commitment to another large democracy where he sees a lot of synergies,” Kanwar said. “He’s done all right.”

eral New Mexico legislative races. Seizing on voter discontent, New Mexico Republicans won seven seats and were in line to pick up another, according to unofficial returns. Brown campaigned against higher taxes, wasteful spending and “overbearing regulation” to knock out Heaton, a 14year legislative veteran and part of the House Democratic leadership as caucus chairman. Asked if she had keyed on a change in political winds, Brown gave all the credit to voters.

LAWRENCE FOSTER RECORD SPORTS REPORTER

As far as playoff openers go, it doesn’t get much better than the one the Gateway Christian football team had on Saturday against Menaul. The Warriors, the third seed in the 8-Man playoffs, dominated the sixth-seeded Panthers, 44-0 behind a five touchdown game from Mason Miller and a stifling defense. Miller threw for four touchdowns and ran for another, while the defense picked up four sacks, including two from David Chavers. “Well overall, it was great,” Gateway coach Shaun Wigley said. “I mean, you want to win and we did it convincingly today, which is good. I am excited with a lot of anticipation. It just means we get one more shot to play one more week. “It’s a great victory, but really it’s the playoffs, so you can’t really celebrate a win. You just have to look forward to the next game. The kids will get to enjoy it this weekend and we’ll get to work on breaking down some film and trying to get ready for Melrose again... It will be a tall order.” The Panthers faced a tall order on Saturday, trying to stop a Warrior offense that was hitting on all cylinders. Gateway got the ball first to start the game, but went

The Warrior defense set the tone on Menaul’s first play from scrimmage as Garrett Gill broke through the line for a sack. The Panthers were forced to punt three plays later and the Gateway offense would put up all the points they would need on the ensuing drive. The Warriors took over at the Panther 41 and drove the ball to the 24, where two

incompletions brought up a fourth down. Gateway elected to go for it and Miller dropped back to pass but couldn’t find anyone open, so he raced left and cut upfield, gaining eight yards and giving the Warrior offense a fresh set of downs. They would need only one of those downs however as Miller hit a wide open Andrew Meeks for a 16-yard touchdown that gave Gateway a 6-0 lead.

After a slow start that saw him miss his first five passes, Miller settled down to go 8 of 13 for 93 yards the rest of the game. Wigley said that big-game jitters played a part in the errant passing early. “Well part of the passing game being off was our guys not getting off jams and not running the routes to the right areas,” he said. “You call plays and put stuff in against teams and when you don’t run it right, it looks

really bad. That’s what happened to start out with. Miller was more, pumped, you could see a lot of overthrows and things of that nature, that aren’t typical. “But when it’s a big game, you know you get big game jitters. So we got this big game experience out of the way. We need to look to the semis and just come out and play our football. “The adjustment we made

Then, on Wednesday night, assistant coach Pamela L ynn, the wife of NMMI Bronco assistant football coach Josh Lynn, gave birth to a son, Bryson Tyler Lynn. And the crowning achievement came Saturday, with Lynn on the sideline just days after giving birth, when the Bulldogs beat Roswell 25-27, 25-20, 25-20 and 25-14. “It’s just an exciting time,” Gowen said. “We’re excited about state and, hopefully, we go up there and per for m and bring back a blue trophy this time.” The match was the

STANFORD CRUSHES ARIZONA, 42-17

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Andrew Luck threw for 293 yards and two touchdowns, leading No. 10 Stanford to a 42-17 victory in its highly anticipated showdown with 13thranked Arizona on Saturday night. Stepfan Taylor added four short touchdown runs for the Cardinal (8-1, 5-1 Pac-10), who won easily in the first meeting with Arizona (7-2, 4-2) when both teams were ranked. The Cardinal are enjoying their best season in 40 years and are alone in second place in the Pac10, keeping alive their hopes for a Rose Bowl bid if they can win their final three games. Stanford would also need No. 1 Oregon to lose twice in order to win the conference or hope the Rose Bowl is not obligated to take a team from a nonautomatic qualifying conference. The players say they are not concerned about bowl bids and BCS rankings right now, focusing only on the task at hand each week. They did a good job of that against an Arizona team having its best season in years.

It had been a long time since the Artesia Bulldogs won a district championship in volleyball. And the key phrase in that sentence is “had been.” Artesia broke that drought on Saturday at the Bulldog Pit by beating Roswell 3-1 in the District 4-4A championship game. “It’s just a long ways, where our program has went,” said Bulldog coach Stacy Gowen, as she wiped away tears and fought a catch in her voice. “I can’t say enough about those girls. They work hard. And we’ve got a good community backing us and good administrators. And I’ve got great assistant coaches that will have a baby and come back and sit the bench with us.” The win capped quite a

Momentum is a fickle thing. One minute, it’s fully on your side and, within seconds, it’s gone. For the New Mexico Military Institute Broncos, momentum was especially fickle on Saturday. The Broncos twice seemed to have swung ‘old mo’ to their side, only to see it turn its back on them just a few moments later. By the time expired on game clock at Colt Field, NMMI was on the losing end of a 28-25 affair to the sixthranked Arizona Western College Matadors (9-1, 6-1 Western States Football

League). The two main instances of an apparent momentum swing came on the same Matador drive in the fourth quarter. The first of them came right after NMMI made it 2118 with an E.J. Perkins Loving touchdown run and a two-point conversion pass from David Vega to Sonny Duran. On the ensuing Matador drive, NMMI stopped three straight Matador runs to force a 4th-and-5 at the AWC 21. Wesley Feer dropped back to punt for AWC and NMMI sent the house to block the punt. Feer got the punt off and it looked as though the Broncos got a hand on it. The

three rushing Broncos ran into Feer after he kicked it, prompting a flag from the referee for roughing the kicker. The penalty stood after the officials huddled to discuss the call, giving AWC a first down at its own 36. Apparent momentum swing No. 1 thwarted. Three plays later, AWC quarterback Boomer Green hit Josh Ford down to the Bronco 20. The Matadors ran it on back-to-back plays with standout Reggie Bullock, setting up a 3rd-and-5. And that’s when the second momentum swing happened. See NMMI, Page B3

really was we just calmed down. We ran the ball a little bit and got everybody back into it. They knocked off that jitter and just came out and played big football and that’s what you have to do to win these games.” What really won the game for the Warriors was a killer instinct that never let the Panthers back into the game. After the Meeks touchdown, Gateway forced a Menaul punt that was downed at the Warrior 20. The Warriors preceded to march the ball down the field on a 13-play drive that just kills a defense. Miller and David Nunez each carried the ball four times for a combined 59 yards. The final carry was a 15-yard touchdown run by Nunez that put the Warriors up 14-

Gateway tried an onsides kick and recovered it at the 50 and four plays later another fourth down gamble paid off in a big way for the Warriors. Facing a 4th-and-1 from the Menaul 41, Miller ran a quarterback delay and outran the Panther defense to the end zone. And right before the end of the half, Menaul’s Jayseph Griego threw an interception to Miller and he returned it to the 15. Three plays later the Warriors cashed in on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Miller to Caleb Wigley that gave them an insurmountable 36-0 lead at the break. Wigley said that capitalizing on the Panther mistakes was huge. “The first game we played them, we didn’t capitalize in the first half,” he said. “It was a close game. We drove the ball and got in the red

zone but didn’t score. This time, we got in the red zone and scored. We got the onside kick and we didn’t stop there. We went down and scored and that put us up 22-0. “That was huge. Anytime you can get a turnover like that it takes a little momentum from the other team. Then when you can take the ball down and score, it just compounds that momentum.” With the win, the Warriors moved on to the semifinals where they will square off against No. 2 Melrose Friday at 7 p.m. “They are going to be ready and they are going to be hungry,” Wigley said of Melrose. “It’s the semifinals and they have been there the past two years in a row. I expect their ‘A’ game. I expect their best. I expect them to be absolutely hungry and physical. l.foster@roswell-record.com

As a team, NMMI was 14th out of 16 teams with a total of 325 points. The winner on the boys side was Laguna Acoma which won the team championship with 79 points. Other finishers for NMMI were Alec Jackson (64th, 19:37.15), Adam Carnaham (86th, 20:11.25), Trae Wolfe (96th, 20:35.80), Benjamin Turner (115th, 21:38.45) and Zachary Martin (127th, 22:13.50). Margaret Eral was the girls top finisher for the Colts, with her time of 23:12.50 which was good enough for 43rd. Summer O’Brien also competed and ran the race in a time of 27:36.65, which gave her 117th.

Class 4A

Goddard The Rocket boys team placed 11th with a total of 303 points, while the girls were 17th with 427 points. Albuquerque Academy won the boys championship with a total of 37 points and Los Alamos High School captured the girls title with 42 points. The top finisher for the boys was Mason Thomas, who had a top 25 finish with his time of 17:08.55. The time was good

enough for 23rd. Other boys competitors were Peter Zelowski (45th, 17:51.25), Andrew Martin (49th, 17:57.20), Nicholas Fox (90th, 19:13.45), Carter Latimer (96th, 19:33.35), Alex Chamberlin (105th, 20:23.50) and Stevie Sisneros (109th, 20:57.55). For the girls, Jacqueline Gonzales was the pace setter as she finished 79th with a time of 23:15. Other top girls finishers were Cheyenne Hewett (80th, 23:23.25), Haley Griffin (81st, 23:24.40), Miranda Saavedra (89th, 23:56.70), Jordan Hickerson (24:41.45), Jasmine Deanda (109th, 26:56.10) and Anne Lee Yingling (115th, 29:55.50).

Bill Ross picked off a Green pass for the Broncos and rumbled his way to the NMMI 29 with 2:55 left in the contest. It was at that point that Bronco coach Jeff Lynn felt like his team might have just won the game. “Yeah, I felt like, we had just went right down the field on the series before and got a touchdown,” he said. “But, it didn’t happen.” It didn’t happen because the Broncos failed to move the ball even a single yard and then gave up an INT return for a TD on fourth down. Vega missed De’Marlo Virgil on first down, then Xan Mangum dropped a pass on a hitch route on second down and Vega then missed Mangum on third down. On the fourth-down play,

Vega lofted a pass down the middle of the field which was intercepted by Drayquan Crawford at the 50. Crawford weaved his way to the end zone and gave his team a 28-18 lead with 2:30 left. “I thought the drop on the hitch on the far sideline was big,” L ynn said about the series. “If we catch that ball, we get in rhythm, put a drive together and score. “And then we had a couple of bad throws. We called a slant on second down and (Vega) looked to the short side of the field and it just wasn’t there. On fourth down, we threw kind of a bread-and-butter route for us and he just didn’t make a good throw. But, I thought the whole key to that series was the hitch.” Apparent momentum swing No. 2 thwarted. The Broncos (3-7, 3-4) scored in two plays on the ensuing drive with a Vega to Mangum 34-yard pass, but

the onside kick attempt failed and AWC ran out the clock to secure the win. Bronco head coach Jeff L ynn was happy with the way his team played though. “I’m happy,” he said. “They left it all out there. Certainly, we don’t take anything away from moral victories, but I was really happy with our defense. “I’m just really proud of our defense. We’ve been undermanned and we’ve had some injuries. They just kept battling and making plays.” Perkins-Loving led the Broncos with 137 yards and two scores, including a 6yard run that cut AWC’s lead to 14-10 with 10:03 in the third quarter. For AWC, Bullock went over the 100-yard mark for the 13th straight game by rushing for 115 yards on 30 carries. Green finished 10 of 18 for 126 yards and a score. kjkeller@roswell-record.com

Bulldogs Continued from Page B1

fourth meeting of the Bulldogs and Coyotes this season and it ended much like the last time the two met. In the tiebreaker on Monday, Roswell won the first game, then Artesia won the next three to win the match. And that’s exactly how Saturday’s meeting played out. Roswell controlled the pace of Game 1 through the first 21 points, but Artesia rallied for a 13-12 lead behind the serving of Jenna Elkins. Artesia had its lead out to 19-15 after a kill by Alexis Aguirre, but Roswell put together a rally. Shanice Steenholdt delivered a kill to jumpstart the run, which spanned four points and tied the game at 19-all. Elkins had kills on the next two points to give Artesia a 21-19 advantage, but a run of five straight — including an ace from Jessica Zamora and a kill by Rikki Or nelas — by the Coyotes gave Roswell a 2421 lead. Artesia won three straight to stave off game point, tying the game at 24, and the two teams traded the following two points to make it 25-all.

A Desirea Allen kill on the next point put Roswell at game point again and the Coyotes won it on the ensuing point when Artesia’s Hannah Ballew sent a back-row kill attempt deep. After the first two points of Game 2 went the way of the Bulldogs, Artesia controlled the rest of the match. The Bulldogs trailed just twice in that game and led by as many as five points en route to a five-point win. Roswell won three of the first four in Game 3, but a run of six in a row by the Bulldogs put them ahead 7-3. Roswell fought back into it to take a 15-13 lead, but a Bulldog run — which included back-to-back aces by Brittany Burgess — of four in a row gave Artesia the lead for good. The Bulldogs went up 21 in the match when Ballew smashed a kill for a five-point win. Game 4 was simply all Artesia. The Bulldogs led 7-2 in the early going, then had a 15-9 lead midway through. Artesia led 20-13 when a serving error gave Roswell a side out and made it 20-14. Elkins had a kill on the next point, Ballew had a kill on the point after that, then Amy Horner dropped in an ace and Ballew delivered another kill to take it to match point as the Arte-

sia faithful rose to their feet. With the gym at its loudest, Horner delivered a perfectly-placed serve that went careening of f the hands of Marika Trujillo and into the stands for an ace and a Bulldog victory. Roswell coach Bobby Bates was visibly upset with the way his team played. “In key situations, we’ve got to make key plays,” he said. “I think that’s the biggest thing for me; in key situations, we’ve got to have key per for mances. And that’s what we’re not doing. “We’re doing some things that we shouldn’t be doing.” Allen led Roswell in kills with eight, while Steenholdt was held to a season-low four kills for Roswell. For Artesia, Elkins had 12 kills, J.D. Madrid had seven kills, Ballew had six kills and Horner had five kills. Aguirre had four aces and Ballew, Burgess and Horner each had two aces. Artesia earned an automatic berth into the state tournament with the win, but Roswell will find out its fate today when the New Mexico Activities Association announces the lineup of pools for the 4A state tournament.

New Mexico tops Wyoming 34-31 to end losing streak

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — James Aho kicked a 38-yard field goal as time expired to lift New Mexico to a 34-31 victory over Wyoming and end a nine-game losing streak on Saturday. UNM’s Stump Godfrey, in his first start for the Lobos (1-8, 1-4 Mountain West), completed 16 of 20 passes for 211 yards with two touchdowns throws to Lucas Reed, who finished with seven catches for 100 yards. UNM had lost 23 of its last 24 games, but it forced four turnovers, three coming deep in its own end and one deep in the Cowboys’ end. The Cowboys (2-8, 0-6) held a 21-7 lead late in the second quarter after Alvester Alexander, who finished with 151 yards and three touchdowns, took it 94 yards for a score. The Lobos, however, rallied behind Reed’s 4-yard, one-handed touchdown reception, then an interception from Bubba Forrest at the UNM two. The Cowboys piled up 392 yards on the ground as its backfield of Alexander, Austyn Carta-Samuels and Robert Herron all turned in career-best rushing performances. But Godfrey added 69 yards on 23 carries to complement Kasey Carriers 97 yards on 13 carries. Each ran for a touchdown. New Mexico did not commit a turnover and converted 12-of-19 third-down attempts to extend drives. The Lobos drove 47 yards on 11 plays, using the final 5:33 on the game-winning possession before Ahos field goal. He also had a 51-yarder in the third quarter.

New Mexico State falls to Utah State

LOGAN, UTAH - The New Mexico State Aggies (2-7, 1-4) fell to the Utah State Aggies (3-6, 1-4) Saturday afternoon in Logan, Utah. NM State out-gained Utah State in total offense 346 to 296, but were outscored 17-5 in the second half after holding a 17-10 lead at halftime. Junior Matt Christian led the Aggies in passing with 191 yards and a touchdown, while also recording 41 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Sophomore running back Kenny Turner led the Aggies rushing and receiving, tallying 68 yards on 17 carries and 64 yards receiving on seven catches. Defensively for NM State, Alphonso Powell, Davon House and B.J. Adolpho all recorded seven tackles each. Both teams were forced to punt on their first two possessions of the second half. Utah State took the ball 66 yards down the field, scoring on

Panthers advance to title game

ROY — The Lake Arthur football team was in a shootout on Saturday. The Panthers, the defending 6-Man state champions, were trailing 60-52 at halftime and it appeared as though they would have to reach triple digits to win. But the Lake Arthur defense stiffened in the second half, allowing just one touchdown and the Panther converted on a huge fourth down late in the game to propel Lake Arthur back into the state title game. Down 66-59 with just about two and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Panthers were faced with a fourth-and-goal from the Roy three. On fourth down, Angelo Rivera dived in to make the score 66-65 and after a successful kick, the Panthers had a 67-66 lead. “It was a tale of the halves,” Lake Arthur coach Jose Cruz Porras said. “The first half was very offensive. In the second half, we had a change of strategy and we held them to only one touchdown. We were down by 16 in the first half and I told them, ‘Keep it close and we will be fine.’ “We made some adjustments and came out on top.

Packers thrive, Cowboys dive after poor starts

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys both came into the season with Super Bowl expectations, and things didn’t go according to plan for either team early on. That’s where the similarity ends. The Packers have rebounded from a disappointing start to rescue their playoff hopes. The Cowboys started poorly and it’s getting worse. Going into Sunday night’s game at Lambeau Field, the Packers (5-3) are on guard just in case this is the week the Cowboys start playing up to their potential. “We can’t worry about what their record is,” Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings said. “Especially a talented team like that, because they can flip that switch and get it turned around as easily as this week. We don’t want that to be us.” Dallas (1-6) came into the season with hopes of home-field advantage in the Super Bowl. Now they’re an unlikely contender for the No. 1 pick in the draft.

Nearly Perfect; Zenyatta loses final race B4 Sunday, November 7, 2010

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Put the blame on Blame for breaking Zenyatta’s magnificent winning streak — and a lot of hearts, too. Jockey Mike Smith wept. Owners Jerry and Ann Moss stood in stunned silence. T rainer John Shirreffs trudged slowly back to the barn, hands in his pockets. Nineteen times the people behind Zenyatta led horse racing’s superstar to the track. Nineteen times they’d celebrated with her in the winner’s circle. Not this time. Blame beat Zenyatta by a head in a thrilling finish at the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday night, handing the 6-year -old mare her first defeat. Zenyatta threaded her way through traffic from last place while the crowd of 72,739 urged her on as she unleashed a monstrous closing kick under the lights at Churchill Downs. It was so close, a matter of inches, the result had to be resolved by a photo — a picture that saddened not only Zenyatta’s owners and trainer but millions of fans around the world. It was so close, Ann Moss said she was hoping her horse had “stuck her tongue out” at the finish. Smith blamed himself for the loss. He walked off the track with his head down, dirt stuck to his face. “It was my fault,” he said, sobbing. “She should’ve won.” Blame went to the front in mid-stretch, then fought off another gutty run by the massive mare, who lagged well behind 11 rivals — all boys — in her customary style. Sent of f at 5-1 odds, Blame ran 1 1/4 miles in

response.” It was just enough. The loss might have cost Zenyatta a shot at Horse of the Year honors. She lost to Rachel Alexandra last year. This year’s vote, announced in January, will come down to Blame vs. Zenyatta. “I thought the battle for Horse of the Year was fought about a half-hour ago, and Blame won it,” said Seth Hancock of Claiborne Farm.

2:02.28 and paid $12.40, $4.40 and $3.80. Zenyatta returned $3.60 and $2.80. Fly Down was another 3 1/2 lengths back in third and paid $8.60 to show. Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky finished fourth. But the star, even in defeat, was Zenyatta, the sentimental even-money favorite. She played to the crowd at every chance on her way to the starting gate. She high-stepped her way to the paddock, playfully pawing the ground as they roared. Ann Moss held her finger to her lips as a signal for the fans to quiet down. “People who didn’t know anything about horse racing became fans because of her,” Blame’s jockey Garrett Gomez said. Zenyatta proved she could beat the boys last year when she rallied from behind to win the $5 mil-

lion Classic at Santa Anita. It was one of her 17 wins on synthetic surfaces in her home state of California. This time, though, she was facing the deepest, most talented field of her career on a surface where she had limited experience. Still, trainer Shirreffs had said she preferred it to synthetic tracks. This was the third time she ran on dirt and in her two previous races, she beat other girls at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas. But Blame had homecourt advantage. He won twice before on dirt at Churchill, where Zenyatta had never raced. “She ran an excellent race and just came up a little short,” Shirreffs said. “She ran her heart out.” But Zenyatta’s late-running style proved her undoing this time. She got away

slow from the starting gate and spotted early leader First Dude 15 lengths over the opening half-mile. At the back of the pack, Smith was coaxing Zenyatta to start making up ground. But it was a struggle. She was getting hit in the face with clods of dirt, something that doesn’t happen on a synthetic track. “She wasn’t used to it,” he said. “Although she’s run on dirt twice, they were really short fields and really never got nothing in her face before.” Smith furiously tore through six pairs of goggles to keep a clear view of things. “I just wish I would have been in the race a little earlier because I think the outcome would have certainly been different,” the Hall of Fame jockey said. Few would disagree.

When Zenyatta finally kicked into gear, Smith had plenty of horse left. She started her rally turning for home, dropping down to the inside rail with three furlongs to go and Blame on her outside. Smith then angled her to the outside for clear running room, and the crowd exploded. This was the famous come-from-behind run they had braved a cold November evening to see. Zenyatta charged through the lane, gaining on Blame with every stride of her power ful legs. Gomez, aboard Blame, knew only Zenyatta could deny him the win. “I was asking him as much as I could without asking him for everything,” he said. “I was trying to save just enough so if she did get to me I had something and some kind of

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile was likely the final race for Mine That Bird, the improbable 50-1 winner of the 2009 Kentucky Derby, after he finished 10th on Saturday at Churchill Downs. The 4-year -old gelding has fallen on hard times since the Derby, losing all nine starts. He was competitive through the balance of last year’s Triple Crown, finishing second in the Preakness and third in the Belmont Stakes. After running ninth in last year’s BC Classic, trainer Chip Woolley was fired and the horse went to Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas. But the magic was gone. Mine That Bird has not been better than fifth in four races this year and was never a serious factor in any of them. Owners Dr. Leonard Blach and Mark Allen indicated Mine That Bird would be retired if he didn’t run well in the Dirt Mile. As one career ends, another might be opening. Mine That Bird could get a call from Hollywood as a movie script is in development chronicling his ragsto-riches story.

No. 10 LSU knocks off No. 6 Alabama No. 8 Sooners fall to Aggies, 33-18

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — As Les Miles’ latest stab at fourth-down trickery was about to unfold, the LSU coach bent down, snatched up some blades of grass — and ate them. “I have a little tradition that humbles me as a man, that lets me know that I’m a part of the field and part of the game,” Miles said as a smile widened on his face. “You should have seen some games before this. I can tell you one thing: The grass in Tiger Stadium tastes best.” What Miles saw next was even sweeter for him than anything coming out of the sprawling sugar cane fields only a few miles away. DeAngelo Peterson went 23 yards with a reverse on fourth-and-1 to set up Stevan Ridley’s go-ahead 1yard plunge in the fourth quarter, and No. 12 LSU held on for a 24-21 upset of the fifth-ranked Crimson Tide on Saturday. The victory added to Miles’ growing resume of audacious fourth-down conversions — the most recent a fake field goal to set up a winning TD at Florida. Miles, who fans call the Mad Hatter, argued his play-calling isn’t always as risky as it seems. “We practice these things. It’s not a grab bag,” said Miles, who called a timeout before running the play. “This play looked to be there and it was prepared extremely well by our team and it would have been a mistake not to call it.” The triumphant result inspired players to give Miles the game ball and brought roars of approval from fans that for now should drown out any critics still longing for the days when Nick Saban coached LSU. The victory came at Saban’s expense and likely knocked Alabama (7-2, 4-2 SEC) out of contention for a second straight national championship. Now the Crimson Tide will need LSU (8-1, 5-1) to lose twice and Georgia to beat Auburn just

to have a shot to repeat as SEC West champions. “This whole year, everyone around us has been very concerned about the results in comparison to what was accomplished a year ago, and that has not been the best thing for the development of this team,” Saban said. “They have become too result-oriented, and we never have developed to become as good a team as we can be. ... How we respond to this will show us what kind of character we have and what kind of pride we have.” LSU remains in the hunt to win the SEC West but is a bit of a long shot because it needs to win out and needs Auburn to lose to Georgia next week and again to Alabama in the Iron Bowl later this month. LSU twice rallied from second-half deficits, the first time on a 75-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Jefferson to Rueben Randle, who also hauled in a 47yarder by Jarrett Lee to convert a crucial third down in the final minutes.

That allowed the Tigers to keep the ball until only 24 seconds remained and hold on to a three-point lead that seemed tenuous after the Tide had marched 74 yards in only 2:04 to pull within a field goal on Greg McElroy’s 9-yard pass to Julio Jones with 3:23 left. The way things are going for LSU this season, it’s not all that shocking when things break the T igers’ way. In addition to the wild finish at Florida, LSU beat Tennessee despite some poor clock management by Miles in the waning seconds. When they had vanquished the Tide, LSU linebacker Kelvin Sheppard and several teammates jumped into the stands to celebrate with students. “This is the biggest win since I have been here at LSU,” Sheppard said. “I have played in a national championship and that’s fine and good, but we had everybody bearing down on us and our head coach. People were saying that there was no way we can

beat Alabama. We were underdogs and no one thought we could win. All I have to say is, look at us now.” The loss was a painful one for McElroy, who after the game crouched on the field for about 30 seconds. “I don’t think there’s an excuse. They beat us. They really did,” McElroy said. “They did a great job. Credit their players and their coaches. We just didn’t come out and play the way we should have played.” McElroy completed 21 of 34 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns. But he was intercepted in the first half and fumbled on a sack by Drake Nevis in his own territory in the fourth quarter. Sheppard recovered, leading to Josh Jasper’s third field goal, which gave LSU a 10-point lead with under 6 minutes left. Mark Ingram had 97 yards rushing for Alabama, which came in knowing it would win the SEC if it could win the remainder of its games.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Ryan Tannehill threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns, Cyrus Gray added 122 yards rushing another score and Texas A&M broke a sevengame losing streak to No. 11 Oklahoma with a 3319 win over the Sooners on Saturday night. Texas A&M won its third straight overall and beat the Sooners for the first time since 2002. The Aggies built a 19-0 lead and withstood a 17point third quarter rally by Oklahoma before adding two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter. Texas A&M never trailed and was up 9-0 just three minutes into the game after a bad snap on Oklahoma’s first play resulted in a safety and Tannehill threw a quick touchdown pass. The loss puts Oklahoma (7-2, 3-2) behind in the Big 12 South standings and makes Texas A&M (6-3, 3-2) bowl eligible. It ends a string of misery against the Sooners that included being outscored 131-38 in the last two meetings. Texas A&M’s improved defense was key in this one, holding Oklahoma on fourth-and-1 from the 1 three times. Landry Jones threw for 290 yards with a touchdown and an interception and DeMarco Murray ran for 80 yards and a touchdown for Oklahoma. Tannehill hit R yan Swope on a 64-yard touchdown on third-and4 in the fourth quarter to put the Aggies comfortably ahead, 33-17, after a missed field goal by Oklahoma. Swope finished with a career-high

136 yards receiving. Patrick O’Hara’s field goal attempt from 36 yards wasn’t even close and left Oklahoma down 26-17 with about nine minutes remaining. Then Texas A&M’s defense took control, stopping the Sooners twice from 1-yard out with about five minutes left. The Aggies took over from there, but couldn’t get anything going and had to punt. The punt was blocked for a safety to leave the score at 3319. Oklahoma gambled with a fake field goal when the holder John Nimmo overthrew James Hanna in the end zone, giving A&M the ball at its own 32 earlier in the fourth quarter. The Aggies stopped a streak of 17 straight unanswered points when the Gray spun into the end zone for a 23-yard touchdown run after that miscue to make it 26-17 with about 11 minutes remaining. Gray spun all the way around to evade one tackler and did a second 360 degree spin to roll in for the score. Jones connected with Trey Franks on a 5-yard touchdown to make it 19-17 A&M in the third quarter. Oklahoma got the of fense going when it capped a 15-play, 71yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run by Murray to get within 19-7. Jamell Fleming intercepted Tannehill for the second time of the night on A&M’s next drive. The Sooners lost 2 yards on three plays and settled for a 45-yard field goal to cut the lead to 19-10 with about 9 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter.

TCU blasts Utah, Michigan outlasts Illinois Roswell Daily Record

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — As a smattering of TCU fans chanted his name, quarterback Andy Dalton ran into the visitors locker room satisfied that the Horned Frogs had made a statement. “We showed we can play with anybody,” he said. Dalton passed for a career-high 355 yards and three touchdowns and the fourth-ranked Hor ned Frogs turned the biggest game in Mountain West Conference history into 477 demolition of No. 6 Utah on Saturday. From the opening drive, TCU looked every bit like a team worthy of busting into the BCS championship game. Dalton passed for two first-quarter TDs and receiver Jeremy Kerley, a QB in high school, also threw a TD pass as TCU (10-0, 6-0) jumped out to an early 20-0 lead, quieting a sellout crowd clad almost entirely in black for the “blackout” showdown. By halftime, the Horned Frogs had outgained Utah 328-72 en route to a 23-0 lead. They finished with an advantage in every statistical category: first downs (23-11), rushing yards ( 177-51), passing yards (381-148), and third-down conversions (.66.7 percent to 23 percent) . “They smoked us. It’s disheartening. We got killed,” Utah defensive end Christian Cox said. The loss snapped Utah’s 21-game home winning streak and dashed any hopes the Utes (8-1, 5-1) had at being a BCS buster for the third time. Dalton, whose 39 career victories are the most in the nation by an active quarterback, made it look easy. He found Josh Boyce for a 26-yard TD pass on the opening drive, then came back to Boyce eight minutes later with a 93-yard scoring strike, as the receiver spun away from a defender near midfield and sprinted free for the score. “He was actually going to run a comeback route on that play, but he beat his defender,” Dalton said. “I just threw it up there. He broke a tackle and took it all the way.” Lucky perhaps. But TCU coach Gary Patterson said if this wasn’t Dalton’s best game, “it was awfully close.” Utah’s Jordan Wynn, meanwhile, struggled to get anything going against the TCU’s No. 1-ranked defense. He started 5 of 12 for 42 yards, with a sack and a fumble, then opened the second half with an underthrown pass that Tanner Brock intercepted and returned 57 yards to the Utah 4, setting up another TCU touchdown. Wynn, who also sputtered in last year’s 55-28 loss to TCU, threw behind receivers, and overshot receivers, but also had a couple of balls dropped. He finished 16 of 35 for 148

yards, with two interceptions and a fumble. “I had three turnovers and that can’t happen against such a good team,” said Wynn. “We had no answers.” The battle of unbeatens had been hyped all week, with ESPN GameDay even broadcasting its show from the parking lot of RiceEccles Stadium, and some fans camping out 30 hours before kickoff. But there were a smattering of boos in the crowd of 46,522 — second-most in school history — as Utah mustered just five first downs in the first half and 11 total. By the start of the fourth quarter, with Utah trailing 40-0, many fans — some of who had paid upwards of $200 for standing-roomonly tickets — were headed for the gates. “It hurts a lot,” Utah center Zane Taylor said of the boos. “It makes us want to play harder.” Utah coach Kyle Whittingham apologized to the fans for the awful showing. He said the score was indicative of how lopsided this game was. “All the credit goes to (TCU),” he said.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.

Mikel Leshoure ran for a touchdown to draw the Illini within two. On the conversion try, Michigan put a heavy rush on Nathan Scheelhaase, who flipped a desperate pass incomplete. Michigan (6-3, 2-3 Big Ten) snapped a three-game losing streak and became bowl-eligible for the first time in Rich Rodriguez’s three seasons as coach. The Fighting Illini (5-4, 3-3) allowed Tate Forcier to cap an 80-yard drive with a 9-yard, game-tying TD pass to Darryl Stonum with 1:47 left in regulation. The 132 combined points marked the highest-scoring game of the year in major college football and in the 131-year history of Michigan football.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Kellen Moore threw for 507 yards and three touchdowns and Boise State rolled up a school-record 737 total yards. Moore was spectacular, completing 30 of 37 passes and at one point hitting 19 straight in the first half to help the Broncos (8-0, 4-0 Western Athletic Conference) build a 21-0 halftime lead. He fired touchdown passes of 12 yards to Tyler Shoemaker and 43 yards to Austin Pettis, and his 83-yarder to Titus Young early in the third quarter put Boise State up 35-0. The Broncos’ defense did its part in shutting down a high-scoring Hawaii (7-3, 5-1) offense. The Broncos sacked Bryant Moniz, the nation’s leading passer, seven times and held him to just 127 yards through the air. The victory gave the Broncos 22 straight wins, the longest active winning streak in major college football.

Leading rusher John Clay was held to 42 yards on 12 carries. Purdue quarterback

Sean Robinson passed for 141 yards and ran for 31 in his first start. He stepped in for Rob Henry, who sat out with a cut finger on his right hand.

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Edwin Baker ran for 179 yards and four touchdowns, and Michigan State bounced back from its first loss of the season. Baker scored twice on fourth down near the goal line to help the Spartans (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten) take a 21-0 halftime lead. Minnesota (1-9, 0-6) never threatened after that en route to its ninth straight loss. Michigan State won its first eight games before being blown out 37-6 by Iowa last weekend. Baker turned things around with scoring runs of 30, 1 and 1 in the first half, and another 1-yarder in the fourth quarter. Spartans quarterback Kirk Cousins went 9 of 20 for 131 yards with an interception, and his record-tying streak of 16 games with a touchdown pass came to an end. He shares that school record with Drew Stanton.

THE WEST/OBITUARIES

Progress in talks to keep Grand Teton NP land public

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — A deal is developing in which the federal government would buy more than 2 square miles of state land inside Grand Teton National Park and prevent the land from being sold at auction. Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal responded favorably Friday to a proposal outlined by Assistant Interior Secretary Tom Strickland in which the federal government would buy the land from the state in increments spanning no more than 10 years. The proposal is “thoughtfully designed” and state and Interior officials should get to work immediately on a for mal agreement, the gover nor wrote back to Strickland. “In principle, I think we’re pretty close,” Freudenthal said by phone. Wyoming has owned the land since statehood but Grand Teton was established without the small handful of parcels ever formally becoming part of the

park. For years, Wyoming has been eager to get the federal government to buy the land or swap it for federal land or mineral interests. Right now, the state leases the land for cattle grazing. That brings in little revenue compared with what the state could earn by selling the land and investing the proceeds. Wyoming’s constitution requires state land to be managed to generate maximum revenue for public schools, making the longstanding impasse all the more a sore spot for state officials. The situation climaxed earlier this year with Freudenthal and other top Wyoming officials threatening to auction off the land if negotiations didn’t resume. Interior officials seemed to get the message. Both sides soon agreed to get a new appraisal for the lands, which came in at $107 million. On Thursday, Strickland wrote Freudenthal with a

“statement of principles” that calls for both sides to agree to the $107 million price tag and establish a process for the federal government to buy pieces of land as funding becomes available. A $22 million purchase would begin the process within a couple years. “We have made great progress on a set of principles and a process for moving forward and look forward to continuing to work with Gov. Freudenthal,” Strickland said through an Interior spokeswoman. On Wyoming’s side, any deal would need approval by the state Board of Land Commissioners, made up of Freudenthal and the other four statewide elected officials. Freudenthal said he would like to have a proposal ready for the board to consider Dec. 9, the last meeting before Freudenthal and two other board members leave office. Wyoming still needs to approve the $107 million

appraisal, he said, and should make certain that the best pieces of land aren’t the first parcels sold. He struck an optimistic tone overall. “There’s nothing more

than the usual stuff of parties trying to work out a transaction that is going to be executed over time, to make sure that it’s fair to both sides,” the governor said.

The land consists mainly of a pair of square-mile sections in the middle of the park and along its eastern boundary. A few smaller pieces of state land also would be sold.

Beekeepers swap honey samples SANTA FE (AP) — By this time each autumn, Santa Fe’s honeybees are hiding out. They’ll spend the winter hunkered down, eating food they were busy making all summer. Other honey-eaters see it as a season to celebrate. Recently, dozens of members of the Sangre de Cristo Beekeepers met to swap tastes of honey. “It’s good to have a good year,” said veteran beekeeper Les Crowder. “Last year, I had bees in Santa Fe that produced zero honey.” Crowder arrived at the gathering with some of this year’s bounty from his 150 to 200 hives, including two jars of honey that were as different as night and day but came from hives a few hundred feet apart. One was such a dark shade of brown that it hinted at black, the other a pale cream color that only hinted at yellow. “It looks like chocolate or Guinness,” said Ken Bowers, who has two live colonies of honeybees near his Santa Fe-area home. “It has a very strong taste, a good taste,” said Crowder, guessing the bees that made it frequently visited the orange flowers of the globe mallow. What the bees eat is only one part of what makes variety in honey, said taster Liz Clow, who

plunged a toothpick into each jar to gather a small blob. “It’s awesome to taste them. They are all so good,” she said. “It really gets my brain going. Is it because of how happy they are? The light? What they eat?” “Whoa, Nelly! What is that? Wow,” came out of Norma Jones’ mouth after someone plopped a new jar onto the table. Another tasted tart and of maple. Others were amber, fruity, like caramel or the color of champagne. Their labels read “Lamy Liquor” and “Las Campanas Wildflower.” The ancient craft of domestic beekeeping seems to be a popular hobby, judging by the crowd at the tasting party. It’s what “bee-ginner” Fran Nicholson predicts is “the next chichi thing, like cigar bars.” She got into the hobby after bees inhabited a wall near her home last year. Having them in a constructed hive that allows for easy harvesting is “an amazing journey,” she said. Charles Brunn echoed that later. “First there was running, and then there was Pilates, and now there is beekeeping,” he said. A construction contractor, Brunn caught the buzz when someone asked him to build hives about three years ago.

Now he has colonies in the yard and another hive on the roof of his home. Andrew Hof fman got into bees after his wife rejected another idea. “He wanted a goat and I didn’t want a goat. So I wanted to get him into something else,” said Brooke Lange. “I bought him a bunch of books about beekeeping.” Now the family has a few hives at their home. Although there are few wildflowers, Hoffman said the colony appears to collect nectar at a vacant lot next door, where alfalfa grows. “The bees know how to take care of themselves,” Lange said. Bees from a single hive can produce up to 50 pounds of honey on a good year, like this one, or zero to 10 pounds during a summer like 2008. Crowder, who has been beekeeping for 35 years, said he’s not sure why honey production was so low that summer but suspects the weather was to blame. The trend of family beekeeping in northern New Mexico is different from conditions when he started in the industry. Twenty years ago, he said, there were a handful of commercial beekeepers who had 2,000 to 3,000 hives each and employed a variety of pesticides. Today’s small-scale practices are much healthier for people and for the bees, he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A fan of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” was convicted Friday of stalking Kathryn Erbe, who plays the show’s star detective, by posting threatening comments and photos on the Internet. Jurors — who heard testimony from Erbe and defendant Charles Nagel in the four-day trial in federal court in Brooklyn — deliberated less than a day before reaching a split verdict. They acquitted the Philadelphia resident on a separate stalking charge based on his attempts to meet her on location. Nagel, 36, had described himself as an avid but mild-mannered autograph seeker and fan of “Criminal Intent.” The USA network series featured Erbe as Detective Alexandra Eames for nine seasons. When the forewoman announced the not-guilty portion of the verdict, Nagel responded with a joyful whimper. His demeanor quickly turned sullen when he learned of the conviction. The defense had claimed that Nagel’s daughter had posted the rude photos — one of Erbe’s teenage daughter with an “I’m ugly” dialogue bubble — as a prank without his knowl-

and approached Erbe, the complaint says. When she recognized him, she had a security guard tell him to leave. In sometimes tearful testimony, Erbe said that Nagel persisted, writing her romantic letters — “I love you so much it hurts” — that left her even more shaken. The actress recalled first seeing the photos and thinking “that I’m not going to let this go on anymore — that this is my daughter who is totally innocent and relatively defenseless.” Nagel described himself as being “shy” and “star struck” in his encounters with the actress. “She was sort of intimidating ... because she was in the character of Alexandra Eames and that was pretty cool,” he said.

NY jury: Fan guilty of stalking ‘Law & Order’ star edge. “I think (the jurors) had a hard time with those photos,” defense attor ney Robert Datner said afterward. Still, he added, the acquittal also showed they believed some of his client’s behavior was “har mless and innocent.” Prosecutors had no immediate comment. There was no immediate response to a message left with Erbe’s manager. The gover nment had claimed Nagel began harassing Erbe in 2008 by showing up at a Manhattan filming location with his wife and two daughters and trying to hug Erbe. She told the jury that after she fended him off, he kept staring at her as she completed her scene. “I got a very bad feeling from him,” said the 44year-old actress. Nagel, an aspiring songwriter who uses the name “Chaz Rose,” later complained on a social network “that the victim had not responded to a song and letter he had written her, that this was causing him to become angry and that he knew where the program was filming,” a criminal complaint says. Nagel again went to a filming location in 2009

Garth Brooks’ benefit concert sells out, 9 times

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Garth Brooks is going to be very busy in December. Brooks sold more than 140,000 tickets Saturday morning and his benefit concert for Nashville flood relief ballooned from one show to nine. “It’s great to be a part of the healing,” Brooks said in a news release. The release says the day’s sales set a record for tickets sold in Tennessee, besting a concert held by Michael Jackson at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville that drew more than 72,000 fans. Brooks initially retired about a decade ago to spend more time with his family, but demand for the best-selling solo artist in U.S. history remains high. The 48-year-old musician came out of retirement late last year, announcing a series of shows at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas that quickly sold out. The benefit concerts are his only arena shows this year and will include his wife, Trisha Yearwood, his full band and unnamed guests. He’ll now play six shows in nine days from Dec. 16-22 with two shows on Dec. 16, 21 and 22. Tickets were $25 apiece and he raised $3.5 million for The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. May’s flood caused more than $2 billion in damage in Nashville alone and 22 people were killed by flooding in middle and west Tennessee. Nashville’s music community was affected with the Grand Ole Opry house closed for five months and thousands of instruments were destroyed when a popular storage and rehearsal space where artists like Brad Paisley and Keith Urban housed their gear was swamped. There have been a series of benefit telethons and concerts since then hosted by country music stars like Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Vince Gill.

Tantrums can be quelled with effective parenting

Q: Little kids seem to lose their tempers a lot and my own young son is no exception. Do you have any suggestions for dealing with this? JIM: You're right that this is a common occurrence — we hear from a lot of parents who face this challenge. My own two boys have been known to engage in some epic tantrums on occasion. Often, it’s simply a matter of helping your child learn how to be more self-controlled. Author Lynne M. Thompson has developed a list of what she calls “anger busters for kids.” Here are a few of them: — Moms and dads need to model anger management for their children. Don't expect your kids to keep their own tempers in check if you fly off the handle every time something goes wrong. When tensions are high, parents need to take a deep breath and compose themselves. — Show respect for your child when he or she gets mad. An angry outburst might not be appropriate, but the underlying causes for it should not be overlooked or dismissed. Try to understand why your child is frustrated. — Identify with your child's pain. Recall a time when you faced something difficult, and share it with your child. For example, “I remember when I was your age and I didn't get invited to a party ...” — Do what you can to provide a cooling-off period for your child when he or she becomes angry. Read a book or go on a walk. Then, calmly discuss what happened and help your child make a plan for dealing with their anger more constructively next time.

There’s some great stuff here. Hopefully Lynne’s suggestions will bring an added measure of peace to your home as you help your son deal with his volatile emotions. ** ** ** Q: My husband and I agree on the importance of discipline for our 2-year-old son, but our methods are different. I’m wondering if one method is better than another. JULI: Even though your approaches vary, it’s great that you and your husband agree on the importance of discipline for your son. This is a starting point that many couples don’t share. Practically every book on discipline emphasizes the importance of consistency. This is particularly important through the toddler years when your son’s job is to explore and test boundaries! “No” should be “no” every time you say it. Mushy boundaries can make the toddler years more exhausting than they already are. You and your husband need to agree on what behaviors

you will punish and how, in general, you will respond to bad behavior. Having said that, you and your husband don’t have to be clones; discipline is within the context of your relationship with your son. Your personality and the uniqueness of your relationship will impact discipline. For example, a mom who might be with her toddler all day long will be correcting behavior throughout the day, while dad might just deal with a big behavioral issue during the evening. Yes, some discipline techniques are more effective, in general, with a child’s unique personality. I would recommend that you and your husband pick up a book or two on the basics of discipline (visit focusonthefamily.com for some good options). Read them together and come to an agreement on the most effective way to teach and respond to your son’s behavior. And remember, regardless of how you discipline, your son needs to know three things: Mom and Dad love him very much, Mom and Dad are on the same team, and he needs to respect both of your authority. ** ** ** 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.

When we decorate our homes, we express ourselves through the furniture we buy and the colors we select. But perhaps no element of decorating says more about us than the personal photographs we display. This holiday season, families across the country will pose for photos, and snap candid images of gift-giving. Some will even sit for studio portraits. Between holiday photos, school photos, team photos and the many shots we capture each day with cell-phone cameras, we have a wealth of imagery to choose from. But which belong on display? And how can we use them to make a room more beautiful and more personal? Here, three interior designers share tips and tricks — and also vent their pet peeves — for using personal photos in home decorating. TELL YOUR STORY Candid shots, rather than posed portraits, will help visitors to your home understand who you are, says Genevieve Gorder, host and chief designer for the HGTV show “Genevieve’s Holiday Home.” Brian Patrick Flynn, editor of decordemon.com, agrees: “When I fall in love with a photograph, it’s 100 percent of the time because there’s a personal link to it.” His favorite is “a family photo that looks like a moment in time was captured.” Think like a photo editor, Flynn says, paring down your library of images to tell your story. Photos don’t have to be flawless, but they have to say something about you.

AP Photo/HGTV

This undated photo released by HGTV shows an interior foyer designed by Genevieve Gorder as seen on HGTV’s "Dear Genevieve." Candid photos, rather than posed portraits, will help visitors to your home understand who you are, says Gorder.

If you’re having professional photos taken, consider hiring a photographer who will capture family members doing activities they love, rather than posing at a studio. And Flynn’s not a fan of everyone dressing alike: “In real life, you don’t all wear the same button-down shirt and jeans. So don’t do it in a photo.” PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE “The main thing about personal photos is to remember that they’re personal,” says Los Angelesbased interior designer Betsy Burnham. “They’re not art. They don’t take the place of art.” Consider which photos are best in more private spaces of the house, such as bedrooms or an upstairs hallway, and which belong in rooms where you greet guests, she says. “Team photos are fun in a kids room, on a bookshelf, to watch how they grew over time,” Burnham says. “But those are never

the best photos of any of us, nor the most interesting. Let friends look at something that’s going to pique their curiosity or make them comment.” TECHNOLOGY IS YOUR FRIEND “Oftentimes we’re not the best of photographers,” Gorder says. “But with all the tools we have, it’s really easy to make (poor photos) into something great,” she says. “Scan them, tweak them, crop them in a way that’s non-symmetrical.” You can also crop to emphasize key elements. In many personal photos, “only 30 percent shows people; the rest is background and sky,” says Flynn, so faces can’t be seen unless you’re viewing them up close. Technology also allows you to create new items out of your favorite photos, including customized coffee-table books from sites like Shutterfly.com. Flynn sometimes makes photo

murals for clients — a single image blown up to nearly wall-size “and printed on the sort of vinyl used to make billboards,” he says. Look through your collection of photos “and find that one image — it could even be a still life of your grandmother’s purse sitting on a counter in a childhood home — that tells a story,” Flynn said. “Once you find the photo, contact your local digital printer and get an estimate on how much it would cost to have a gigantic vinyl print done, and get estimates of what it would cost to install,” he says. “It can completely kick-start the design of a house and its mood.” Another creative option, from Gorder: Crop a section of a favorite family photo and have it printed as a repeating image on rolls of paper (a digital printing store like Fedex Office should do it for you, she says. Then use it for wrapping gifts.

Rolls-Royce loses stock value, another engine fire Roswell Daily Record

flaw could be responsible, with one pointing to a shattered piece of turbine as the possible failure point. Qantas has six of the double-decker Airbus A380s, the world’s largest and newest airliner. It is as tall as a sevenstory building and capable of carrying 853 passengers, although most airlines use it for about 500 passengers. Its roomy first and business classes are seen as a major appeal for passengers. Twenty planes operated by Qantas, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines use the

T rent 900. One of the newest and largest airline engines, the Trent 900 is an immensely powerful and highly complex piece of equipment as tall as a single-story house. The engine on the Qantas Airbus suffered what aviation experts call an uncontained engine failure, in which high-energy debris from the rotating parts break through the engine casing. Such accidents, rare these days due to improvements in design and the metallurgy, usually are caused by engines sucking in objects like runway debris or a bird, or maintenance crews failing to replace parts that wear out. “The possible danger of an uncontained failure is shrapnel from the turbines or compressors exiting the engine case and puncturing portions of the wing and fuselage,” said Patrick Smith, a commercial airline pilot and aviation author. “A worse-case scenario could have pieces of hot metal going into the fuel tanks or into the cabin, causing a leak or fire or cabin depressurization.” Hours after Joyce spoke, a Sydney-bound Qantas Boeing 747-400 fitted with four Rolls-Royce RB211524G-T engines landed safely in Singapore after an engine caught fire minutes after it took off, the airline said. “There was a loud bang and a jet of fire from the back of the engine,” Andrew Jenkins, a 43-yearold Australian banker who said he used to fly a two-

seater plane, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. Jenkins said he could see the engine clearly and the blast happened “one or two minutes” into the flight when the plane with 431 people aboard had climbed about 2,000 feet. After returning to Singapore, the passengers were taken in a bus to a hotel for an overnight stay. They are expected to leave Saturday. No other details were immediately made public. William Voss, head of the Flight Safety Foundation based in Alexandria, Va., said the latest incident was very different from Thursday’s engine disintegration, the most serious midair incident involving the A380 since it debuted in 2007. The 747-400 is a much older plane with an “entirely different” engine from the A380 even though they are both made by Rolls Royce, Voss said. The second engine failure was “much more routine,” while the uncontained engine failure on the A380 was “more exceptional,” Voss said. He said it appeared credible that a design or construction flaw was the cause of the A380 engine failure. Maintenance failures are very rare in engines as new as the one that failed, which was built two years ago, he said. A foreign object would likely have caused visible damage to the engine’s outside cover or the huge fan — or compressor — at the front of the engine.

Oil remained near $87 a barrel Friday after reaching a two-year high as the Federal Reserve’s plan to buy $600 billion of T reasury bonds to stimulate the U.S. economy drove a tide of cash into stocks and commodities. By early after noon in Europe, benchmark crude for December delivery was up 35 cents at $86.84 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier in the session, it reached $87.22 — its highest point since Oct. 2008. On Thursday, the contract climbed $1.80 to settle at $86.49. The Fed’s announcement Wednesday underlined expectations that the dollar would weaken further and push up prices for com-

modities including oil. The strength of the dollar and the price of oil are closely linked. The dollar has been getting weaker against other currencies for weeks, ahead of the Fed decision and some expect it to remain weak as more dollars pour into the economy. Oil is priced in dollars and becomes cheaper for holders of foreign currency when the dollar falls. That interest then boosts the price. When the dollar weakens, investors would rather hold hard assets like oil and other commodities because hard assets protect them against more weakening and inflation. Despite the price jump, analysts pointed to contin-

ued weak demand as a factor which could make current levels difficult to sustain. “Oil prices are already back to the end-2007 levels but the oil fundamentals are nowhere near those of 2007,” said Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland. Sustained higher oil prices would make themselves felt across the economy, hampering growth. “Commodity-induced inflation in emerging countries will pose a growing threat, and will eventually prompt more forceful rate hikes,” said a report from MF Global in New York. “These, in turn, will ultimately slow economies down, and deflate the commodity bubble from the demand side.”

Firefighters assist passengers off a Qantas jetliner which made an emergency landing at Singapore’s Changi International Airport after having engine problems on Thursday.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — A day after a massive engine failure on the world’s largest jetliner, manufacturer Rolls-Royce watched a billion dollars vanish from its market value Friday, while another of its engines on a different plane caught fire in flight. The Australian airline Qantas blamed the British aerospace company for the violent mid-flight disintegration on Thursday of an engine on the Airbus A380. Another Qantas plane equipped with Rolls-Royce engines suffered an engine problem shortly after take-

off late Friday, producing a loud bang and shooting fire before it tur ned back to Singapore. Modern passenger jets are designed to fly after one or more engine failures, and both Qantas planes landed safely. On Thursday, one of the A380’s four Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines failed minutes into a flight to Sydney, shedding pieces of metal over Indonesia before it returned to make a safe emergency landing in Singapore. “We believe this is probably most likely a material

failure or some type of design issue,” Qantas CEO Alan Joyce told a news conference in Sydney. “We don’t believe this is related to maintenance in any way.” Joyce said the engines had been maintained by Rolls-Royce since they were installed. Rolls-Royce Group PLC, a London-based aerospace, power systems and defense company separate from the car manufacturer, made no public comment. Its stock price took a beating for the second day, ending more than 5 percent lower. Experts said an engine

Berkshire’s net income falls on derivatives A file photo of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Chairman Warren Buffett.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s company posted an 8 percent drop in third-quarter net income Friday due to losses on its derivatives portfolio, but BNSF railroad and Berkshire Hathaway’s many other operating companies performed well. The Omaha, Neb.-based company said it earned nearly $3 billion, or $1,814 per Class A share, during the quarter ending Sept. 30. That’s down from $3.24 billion, or $2,087 per share, last year. Berkshire’s revenue grew 21 percent in the third quarter to $36.3 billion from last year’s $29.9 billion. The biggest factor in the profit decline was a $95 million loss on Berkshire’s derivatives, some of which are tied to equity markets and credit default swaps. Last year’s third-quarter profit was boosted by a mostly unrealized $1.1 billion gain as the value of derivative contracts tied to equity indexes soared. Buffett has said Berkshire’s operating earnings are a better measure of how the company is performing in any given period because those figures exclude the value of derivatives and investment gains or losses. Berkshire said its operating earnings jumped 36 percent to $2.8 billion in the quarter over last year’s $2.06 billion. On that basis, Berkshire earned $1,692 per share in the latest period. That exceed-

ed the $1,676 per share estimated by the three analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters. Berkshire executives typically do not comment on quarterly earnings reports, and they did not immediately respond to an interview request on Friday. Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad added $706 million in its second full quarter as part of Berkshire as it again saw increases in industrial, agricultural and consumer product shipping. Berkshire said BNSF’s revenue grew 22 percent to $4.4 billion in the quarter. Berkshire also said it saw significant improvement at Fruit of the Loom clothing, Iscar tool makers and its Forest River RVs business. Its building products companies, such as Acme Brick, Shaw Carpet and Benjamin Moore paint, improved slightly over last year’s dismal results but demand remains weak for those products. Berkshire’s manufacturing, service and retail unit that includes those businesses generated $645 million in net income this year, nearly double last year’s $336 million. Berkshire owns clothing, insurance, furniture, utility, jewelry and corporate jet companies. Berkshire also has big investments in companies including Coca-Cola Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.

Technology a blessing, a curse for remote island Roswell Daily Record

BEAVER ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — Muggs Bass doesn’t own a computer. She’s pretty much dead set against e-mail. Anyone who calls her home on Michigan’s remote Beaver Island should be prepared for a busy signal, if she’s on her land-line phone. She has no cell. “When you don’t have it, you don’t miss it. That’s what I say,” says the spunky 70year-old grandmother, who’s as comfortable telling jokes at the local pub as she is attending Mass each morning. Technology isn’t really her thing. So, it’s a small miracle when Bass drives, once a month, to her island’s rural health center to sit down in front of a wide-screen television. There, she and a handful of other islanders connect by video conference with a similar group in Charlevoix, Mich., a two-hour ferry ride away. They chat. They laugh. They cry together. All of them have, or have had, cancer, Bass included. Hers started with a lump in her breast and has since metastasized to her bones, making her cancer treatable, but incurable, her doctors tell her. Her own grandmother died of the same disease and went off the island for occasional treatments, as Bass does every few weeks. But that grandmother could hardly have imagined a day when islanders talked openly about their cancer, face-to-face with people in a support group miles away. It’s just one of many ways technology is making this rugged place less remote than it once was and, some would say, more livable for more people. Not that the change has come quickly, or that technology always works perfectly. That’s just how it is on an island where a popular bumper sticker reads “Slow Down! This Ain’t The Mainland.” It’s aimed at anyone who’s in too big a hurry, including lead-footed tourists who kick up dust on the many dirt roads or who panic when cell phone service drops. That’s life on wired — or at least, semiwired — Beaver Island, where the yearround population is about 650, give or take a few dozen. Beaver Island — much of its 54 square miles covered in lush hardwood forests, sand dunes or pristine inland lakes — is not well known. That’s partly because it is difficult to get to, especially in winter, when small planes are usually the only option, weather permitting. So when high-speed Internet service became available to most of the island last spring, this was more than just a convenience. For many, it was a godsend — even if having the service simply meant being able to shop online for just about anything, to play an online game or to watch a newly released movie. For others, it meant being able to stay on the island longer

As recently as two years ago, if someone needed an X-ray, the films had to be flown to the Charlevoix hospital so a radiologist there could read them. Depending on weather, it could take days. Registered Nurse Ms. Kubic knew there was a better way. She persuaded the hospital to help her apply for a grant that recently helped her purchase digital X-ray equipment for the health center. Now images can be transmitted in minutes. Next came video conferencing, connecting the island’s nurse practitioner and physician’s assistant to the mainland hospital’s emergency room. It’s the same technology that allows Bass and the other islanders to take part in the “Circle of Strength” cancer support group. “Without it, we’d be out here, in the lake, without a lot of support,” Kubic says. When Muggs Bass moved back 12 years ago, she had no idea that she’d soon be dealing with a serious health issue. A year after she’d been there, she traveled to the mainland for her annual mammogram, which revealed cancerous tissue. She had surgery to remove a breast. “Then I went along fine for 10 years,” she says, until she got a cough she couldn’t shake. One morning, she got up and said to her husband, “I need to go across, to the doctor.” Her lung was filling with fluid. The cancer had spread to her bones.

The support group in Charlevoix has helped her cope. It includes an 80-year-old woman with lung and colon cancer, as well as younger mothers who’ve survived breast cancer and those who are in the thick of the battle. They talk about infections and mammograms, find humor in topics such as constipation. One of the moms, introduced to the Beaver Island group through video conference, thanked Bass for sending her a card and a prayer. “I read it every day,” the woman, who has 11- and 16-year -old children, told Bass, who grabbed a tissue to dab her eyes. Diane Gorkiewicz, who began the Charlevoix “Circle of Strength” six years ago, marvels at the intimacy that has developed so quickly between her group and the islanders. “The only thing you’re missing are all the hugs and stuf f,” Gorkiewicz told the islanders during a recent video conference. “And the food,” Bass said, teasing the Charlevoix group that they need to share the treats they bring to their meetings. Joe and Phyllis Moore understand the dynamic. Earlier this year, the longtime islanders were able to “attend” their youngest granddaughter’s first birthday party in Washington state via Skype. “Just thinking about it, it almost brings tears to my eyes,” says Joe Moore, a retired teacher who’s now a medic on the

island, among other things. It wasn’t ideal. The hard reality, though, is that the cost of getting off the island can be prohibitive. “I hardly knew my own grandparents,” says Phyllis Moore, who grew up on the island. So this is progress. Now that Internet service on the island is more reliable, many islanders say improving cell phone service is the big hurdle. But even those who reap the benefits of technology feel torn. They worry that it infringes on one of the very things they love about the island — its blissful peacefulness. It also used to be the joke that, by St. Patrick’s Day, anyone who lived here year round couldn’t stand the sight of anyone else. In many ways, communicating with the outside world helps with that, but not always. “Sometimes, I think it makes it worse because they can communicate more and get on each others’ nerves even more,” Joe Moore says, chuckling. Muggs Bass knows about the squabbles and the way a rumor can take on a life of its own, computer or no computer. But she says nothing compares with the support she’s gotten from her tiny island community. “We take care of each other,” she says. “I can’t imagine living anyplace else.”

PHOENIX (AP) — Adorable Yuky, a hefty figure in pink and black spandex, soaks in the cheers and ear-splitting screams from the crowd. Tonight, the wrestler has a trick — or rather a treat — up his sleeve. To celebrate the Mexican holiday, “El Dia del Nino” (Kids’ Day), Yuki hurls handfuls of candy into the audience. Kids make a dive for it, then are back in their seats — joining their parents in booing and yelling at the referee to shut up. Bodies, not candy, are what tend to go flying at a lucha libre wrestling match. But in heavily Hispanic cities such as Phoenix, some parents are choosing the decades-old Mexican form of free fighting as a way to gain some quality time. Little kids can swear and flash the middle finger during what are sometimes violent matches. Mothers typically have one eye on a fight and the other on a stroller. “When you’re at a movie, it’s quiet and relaxed. Here you can yell, scream and get all the anger out of you. You can have fun and all that,” said Ernesto del Real, who has taken his wife and three of his children, ages 5-11, to body-slamming bouts on Friday nights. The profanity and pummeling might appall non-Hispanic families. But anyone familiar with lucha libre would know it’s part of the spectacle. “When you’re at lucha libre, you shout obscenities, insult people, act in ways that wouldn’t necessarily be acceptable elsewhere,” said Heather Levi, an assistant professor in anthropology at Temple University. “I remember the time I was sitting in front of woman who was teaching a 3year-old to do it. It was like ’OK now you say...”’ Tonight’s match is staged by one of a few lucha libre operations in metropolitan Phoenix. The setup is minimal: a ring and rows of metal folding chairs. Everything is housed in an industrial building in a lower class neighborhood dotted with fenced off businesses and run-down apartment buildings. Inside, alcohol and smoking are banned. Licha Vasquez, who works as a nanny but was a manager for matches up until recently, said the activity is a cheap form of entertainment and it’s important “for a family to have fun, to be able to bring their kids, to know they’re not going to drink.”

Lucha libre has been rooted in Mexican popular culture since the 1930s. Wrestlers wear colorful masks and personas. The genre gained more notice when it was showcased on TV and in B movies. “Children were not allowed into arenas (in Mexico City) until the mid-1980s,” said Levi, author of “The World of Lucha Libre: Secrets, Revelations, and Mexican National Identity.” Now, she said, “In Mexico, people bring their children, their grandparents.” In the Southwest, it seems that people are seeing lucha libre as a cultural thing, “really embracing it as something Mexican they take their kids to,” said Levi. For some kids who have grown up in the U.S., watching Jack Black in “Nacho Libre,” has been the extent of their lucha libre exposure. Seeing authentic luchadores go at it has been a bonding experience. Johana Lamadrid, 18, an Arizona State University student, didn’t think she was going to like it when her family first went to a match. “Usually I’m very quiet especially if I’m in front of my family, I usually don’t yell or anything,” Lamadrid said. “When I’m there, me and my mom are like one and we’re just like yelling and everything.” Now her family goes every week. Her mom, Cristina, isn’t worried that watching lucha libre will lead her other daughters, ages 7 and 12, to become ill-mannered hellions. “It’s like a game. They don’t take it seriously. It’s part of the show,” Cristina Lamadrid said in Spanish. Cristina Lamadrid said she’s never had a problem with her kids cursing or acting out in school. Even at lucha libre, they will sometimes ask for permission before gesturing or swearing. The matches even come in handy as leverage for good behavior. “When the week starts, about Wednesday, they start asking, making sure they’re going to get to go,” Cristina said. “(My daughter) knows if she don’t clean the room, she cannot go. And it’s clean.”

Election Day was a sea of red for GOP and Democrats, too

NEW YORK (AP) — The sea of red was undeniable: Lisa Murkowski, Carly Fiorina, Christine O’Donnell, Rand Paul. Of course, we’re not talking states or party affiliations here. We’re talking wardrobe. Maintaining a longtime tradition, many politicians wore the power color red for their Election Day appearances at the polls, podiums and on TV. And it wasn’t just a nod to the GOP territory expanding on electoral maps. Barbara Boxer and Andrew Cuomo were among the Democrats in red. “Red is a very exciting color, physically,” says Ellen Evjen, instructor of color theory at Parsons The New School for Design. And party affiliation aside, the color makes a much clearer visual statement than Democratic blue, which is a close cousin of black, she explains. Evjen also notes the psychological associations with red — passion, immediacy, urgency and, in Asian cultures, luck. Blue, meanwhile, is seen as more spiritual. On the night Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, he wore a red tie and Michelle Obama wore a mostly red dress by Narciso Rodriguez. But when the Huffington Post chronicled President Obama’s

ties during his first 50 days in office, there were more blue ones than red, 42.5 percent to 30. Virginia-based image consultant Sandy Dumont says Obama shouldn’t wear light blue ties, in particular, because they carry a message that’s too “country club.” She had the same advice for former President George W. Bush. “Red is an action color. We instinctively go for red for energy, drive and action,” Dumont says. “When people wear red — the people who pass you on the street or down the hall — they stand taller.” Nancy Reagan made the red power suit her signature as first lady, and Sarah Palin is often photographed in red, including a red leather jacket worn on the campaign trail when she was candidate for vice president. If the “power color” reputation sounds silly, consider a study by two British anthropologists at the University of Durham who looked at four individual combat events at the 2004 Olympic Games and found that athletes wearing red gear won more often. Red seemed to confer a similar advantage in a preliminary analysis of the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament. Tuesday night, Paul, the senatorelect from Kentucky, wore a red tie

and was surrounded by a red-clothed clan during his victory speech, while New York governor-elect Cuomo, who comes from one of the bluest states, also did the red-tie thing. “Red ties vs. blue? I’m happy if politicians color coordinate. In reality, being the best dressed candidate really pales in comparison to being the best policy candidate,” says Democratic consultant Chris Kofinis. “But I guess a nice tie can’t hurt.” Republicans Susana Martinez, the governor -elect in New Mexico, and Mary Fallin, soon-to-be governor in Oklahoma, proudly wore electric blue, a shade normally favored by Hillary Clinton. The most successful uniform for a man in politics is the combination of a white shirt, red tie and blue suit, “It’s how you move up the ladder,” Dumont says. For a woman, though, Catherine Moellering, executive vice president of the Tobe Report, a fashion trend consultancy, says she should put on her statement-making red suit or at least red accents. “I don’t know a woman who wants to be really strong in a meeting who would say, ‘I’m going to wear my flat shoes and my blue suit,”’ Moellering says. “But if I were going in front of a jury, I’d wear the blue and not red.”

Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, arrives at Perez Hilton's 31st birthday party in West Hollywood, Calif., March 28, 2009. McCain is trying to establish herself as a bold voice for young, disaffected, socially moderate Republicans just like her.

CAPITAL CULTURE: Other McCain seeks national voice stand this woman or her popularity. I find her offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same time.” And clearly McCain is quick with a comeback. When the irked O’Donnell campaign issued a scathing statement referring to how little political experience she had, McCain retorted: “I am not the one running for Senate.” When conservative radio host Laura Ingraham mocked her manner of speaking last year and referred to her as “plus-sized,” McCain said on “The View” that Ingraham could “kiss my fat” — uh, derriere. Whether she can be a viable voice on the political scene is, needless to say, a matter of dispute. “She’s a media darling because she attacks conservatives and other Republicans,” says Diana Banister, a partner in a conservative public affairs firm who has worked with Palin and Coulter, and currently with O’Donnell. “If she’s only attacking others, I’m not sure how far that gets her. She’s good at getting attention — that seems to be her platform.” Others are more charitable. “It’s good to have someone like Meghan McCain out there,” says Tim Miller, a consultant in Washington who served as communications director for John McCain in Iowa. “She’s been pretty effective at popularizing the notion that it’s OK to be a conservative and a Republican and support issues like gay rights.” Of course, Miller adds, “She’s bucking the party and criticizing figures that are popular. So there’s going to be pushback.”

NEW YORK (AP) — When Meghan McCain said on national TV recently that Senate GOP hopeful Christine O’Donnell “is seen as a nut job,” the reaction from the right was swift and furious, with critics bashing everything from McCain’s lack of experience to her judgment to, well, her anatomy. So now that she’s had time to reflect — after all, she does call herself “a work in progress” — would she like to tone it down a notch? Um, no. “I DO think she’s a nut job,” the very uninhibited, 26-year -old daughter of John McCain said in an interview this week. “I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I wish more for politics, and I wish more for women in politics.” And, of course, for her party. Since her father’s 2008 loss, McCain, who made a name for herself with a campaign blog, McCainblogette, and now blogs for The Daily Beast, has been trying to establish herself as a voice for young, socially moderate, disaffected Republicans like herself. “Rather than leading us into the exhilarating fresh air of liberty, a chorus of voices on the radical right is taking us to a place of intolerance and anger,” McCain writes of the GOP in her new campaign memoir, “Dirty Sexy Politics.” She doesn’t exactly shy away from naming names. She writes openly of her mixed feelings about Sarah Palin, and how she and her sudden, explosive star power sucked up all the oxygen in her father’s campaign. Of conservative commentator Ann Coulter, she wrote on her blog last year: “I straight up don’t under-

Roswell Daily Record

Some of that pushback has been downright nasty. After the O’Donnell remarks, there were comments from some conservative bloggers referring to her body, in terms cruder and more sexual than Ingraham’s “plus-sized” putdown. Some even found a way to reference a photo McCain had impulsively tweeted a year ago, holding a book and wearing a bittoo-revealing tank top. “What amazes me is that my body and the way I look are still being criticized,” McCain says. “It’s disheartening every time you get on TV and you hear that your butt looks fat or your boobs look bigger. It’s not fun for me to hear that. It’s 2010. Are we supposed to accept this as women?” In fact, one of the things that infuriates McCain, a graduate of Columbia University with an art history degree, is how she is persistently perceived as a “party girl.” “For some reason, I get that rep,” she says. “I think people in politics WANT me to be a dumb party girl. I go to Vegas every six months with my friends to play Black Jack. I go out, have a glass of wine and eat Mexican food. I dare you to find a picture of me clubbing, or wasted. You will not find it. I don’t know where it comes from, other than the blonde hair.” Meghan McCain seems to have been seen as a black sheep by her father’s top aides. It wasn’t her parents who were unhappy with her — she portrays them as loving and supportive — but campaign operatives, who weren’t happy with her image OR her blog, which she funded herself.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — What makes a good baby picture? On ZooBorns.com, the babies have to be wild. Maybe obscure. Possibly endangered. Mostly, they have to be cute. “Cute always comes first,” said Chris Eastland, an artist and photographer from Brooklyn, N.Y., who joined forces with Andrew Bleiman of Chicago to create ZooBorns.com two years ago. Their website delivers birth announcements from zoos and aquariums around the world, and gets about a million hits a month. The men are publishing a pair of hardcover books through Simon & Schuster — “ZooBorns!” a 32-page children’s book released last month, and a longer book for all ages also called “ZooBorns,” out next week. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums gets 10 percent from sales. “It’s win, win, win for us,” said Jill Nicoll, AZA’s senior vice president of marketing. The AZA benefits not just because of the royalties, but because promoting zoo babies is good for the conservation cause. “And, it’s cute,” she added. Bleiman hasn’t counted since summer, but as of then, they had featured around 600 births from 165 different species. The great thing about animals, he said, is there are so many species. “There are tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of insect species alone,” he said. “There are plenty of species left to share.”

So are some animal births too ugly to make the cute cut? “We don’t do a lot of insect larvae or spiders. Some organisms are too unpleasant to put on the site. There is nothing cute at all. A tiny fraction of the population would pine after a baby spider,” Bleiman said. They did post the July birth of a Caecilian, a legless amphibian, at the Tennessee Aquarium. “Some people found it creepy-crawly and others were fascinated,” Bleiman said. “We show ugly birds all the time. Some think they are cute and others recoil.” They also hold off on some announcements, waiting for cuteness to settle in. Baby pandas are a good example, Eastland said. They are born pink, furless and no bigger than a stick of butter. By around 4 months, they are melting hearts. “The all-time most popular post was the fennec fox,” Eastland said. Radar Ears, from Seoul, is on the cover of one book and inside the other. A Bengal tiger made the cover of the children’s book and its twin is inside. Lions and tigers are always a big hit and Eastland likes polar bear and panda cubs because of the obvious message. But at ZooBorns, the success of any photo depends on how many w’s people put at the end of the word aw, Eastman said. “It’s hard to engage people in the conservation side of this,” Eastland said, “but it is our biggest message and we try to deliver it through adorableness.”

A photo of Hasani, a Western Lowland Gorilla at the San Francisco Zoo, appears in the book “ZooBorns!” The ZooBorns website gets about a million hits a month and is the only wild baby animal site endorsed by the Maryland-based Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

White father of African rock marks anniversary Roswell Daily Record

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — In a rehearsal studio one afternoon in 1986, a white South African musician wrote an international hit — partly in Zulu, the language of the largest ethnic group in the country. “Asimbonanga,” which means “we’ve never seen him,” the song refers to the generation of South Africans who grew up under apartheid and had never even seen a photograph of Nelson Mandela, the country’s hope for reconciliation who was imprisoned under South Africa’s apartheid regime. Johnny Clegg, later dubbed the “white Zulu,” was sure his song’s message would be lost. At the time, his new genre of music, a blend of Western pop and Zulu rhythms, was banned from the radio — as Mandela’s photo was banned from newspapers. Clegg’s concerts were routinely broken up, and he and other members of his multiracial band had been arrested several times for challenging a South African law meant to keep whites and blacks apart. “Asimbonanga,” in which the names of Mandela and other prisoners are spoken aloud in defiance of state radio rules of the time, was released in South Africa in 1986 and abroad a year later. The South African government immediately banned the video and restricted the song from radio programming, so most South Africans only got to hear it a few years after its release. They embraced it. For the 57-year-old Clegg, the pinnacle of his career occurred while performing in Frankfurt a few years after Mandela was

released and became the country’s first black president in 1994. Clegg began to sing “Asimbonanga,” which had quickly risen to the top of the charts. In the middle of the song, the Frankfurt crowd started cheering loudly. Clegg turned around and to his surprise, saw Mandela dancing on the stage. “I was taken by a wave of such amazing emotions,” Clegg told The Associated Press. “I wrote that in 1986, knowing it was going to be banned and not knowing he (Mandela) was ever going to be released because we were in the middle of a civil war. Eleven years later, in a new South Africa, I’m playing the song, and the very man I wrote it for walks on stage and sings it with me.” Clegg celebrates his 30 years as a musician — with the bands Juluka and Savuka and later as a solo act — in a concert in Johannesburg Saturday. He calls the performance “a kind of validation that the body of work that I and my band and other co-songwriters put together in that early time under incredible difficulties managed to survive and is being celebrated in the new country.” Thousands of people streamed into the concert grounds near Johannesburg’s botanical gardens early Saturday evening, with the multiracial crowd sitting on picnic blankets on the grass. Concertgoer Jeremy Stewart, 32, said he remembers his parents taking him and his sister to hear Clegg at the Market Theatre, then the home of anti-apartheid protest theater in Johannesburg, in 1985. “He’s added another dimension

South African musician Johnny Clegg looks on during an interview with the Associated Press at his house in Johannesburg, South Africa, Wednesday.

to bringing people together and breaking down boundaries between races,” he said. Kaizer Moyane, 38, of Johannesburg, said of Clegg: “I think his music speaks to everyone in the country. He’s a hero.” Sipho Mchunu, Clegg’s musical partner from the days of their legenday Juluka band, will join him Saturday. Juluka ended in 1985, when Mchunu returned to his Zulu homeland in eastern South Africa to take up cattle farming. Under the South Africa’s racially segregated regime, Clegg’s multiracial band performed in small spaces such as churches, university halls and private homes because laws prohibited blacks from performing in white areas

and whites from performing in black areas. “If you were a mixed band like we were trying to be, you were in trouble immediately,” Clegg said. Radio disc jockeys were banned from playing Clegg’s music, but the live performances spread like wildfire. The band, which mixed traditional Zulu high kicks and warrior dress as well as musical elements with Western styles, began to perform unannounced in the townships so that authorities wouldn’t have time to ban shows. Outside of South Africa, the music became an instant hit, and the band toured extensively through North America and Europe during the height of racial tensions in South Africa.

Clegg’s African rock stemmed from his childhood when he noticed how a street musician had “Africanized” a guitar, a European instrument: He was immediately hooked. As a student he began to experiment with the cross of English words and Zulu rhythms. “Everybody thought it was absolutely ridiculous in the beginning, apart from migrants and students who thought it was really weird, but because it was weird it was cool,” he said. Clegg was born in England and lived in Israel, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Zambia during his childhood, attending six primary schools in five years. He called himself a loner. “I felt like a migrant,” he said. “So when I met migrant workers — Zulu migrant workers — there was something about them that I intuitively connected with because they were also establishing these tenuous connections with different places.” Clegg spent years in Zulu communities, learning the culture, dance and language. “Nobody moves like me because I’m coded and wired with that tradition, and that was something which a lot of people found quite fascinating,” he said. In his life and career, he has answered a question he poses in the lyrics to Asimbonanga: “Who has the words to close the distance between you and me?” “I discovered that through music, I could connect very deeply and profoundly in a continuous way,” Clegg said. “And that for me was kind of a salvation.”

Opera singer Shirley Verrett dies at 79

NEW YORK (AP) — Shirley Verrett, an acclaimed American mezzo-soprano and soprano praised for her blazing intensity during a career that spanned four decades, died Friday in Ann Arbor, Mich. She was 79. Verrett, one of the top opera singers of the 1970s and 1980s, had been suffering from heart trouble, said Jack Mastroianni of IMG Artists, who was notified of her death by the Metropolitan Opera Guild. Born in New Orleans, she was renowned for a blazing intensity in her performances as a mezzo for much of her career and a soprano in her later years. She battled racial prejudice in a predominantly white European-centered art form during a 40year biracial marriage, according to her autobiography. Verrett studied at the Juilliard School in New York and was a 1961 winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. Known early in her career as Shirley Verrett-Carter, she made her professional debut in 1957 and a year later appeared for the first time at the New York City Opera as Irina in Weill’s “Lost in the Stars.” She also appeared in the first televised Young People’s Concert by conductor Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. A debut followed at London’s Royal Opera in 1966 as Ulrica in Verdi’s “Un Ballo in Maschera,” and two years later she made her Metropolitan Opera debut in the title role of Bizet’s “Carmen,” a role she has sung to acclaim at the Spoleto Festival in 1962. “She is good-looking, and she has a beautiful voice that moves smoothly from low tones to high and plays around freely in the treacherous middle without audible shifting of vocal gears,” Allen Hughes wrote in The New York Times. “She also has an attractive stage manner and personality. She laughs easily and convincingly, flirts beguilingly and registers changes of attitude and feeling without hamming or posing.” A year later, she appeared at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala in Saint-Saens’ “Samson et Delilah.” In 1988, she opened the San Francisco Opera season with Placido

Domingo in Meyerbeer’s “L’Africaine.” Verrett was part of the second generation of black opera singers who followed Anderson’s breakthrough at the Met in 1955. Coming after Leontyne Price, she was in a small group of black headliners that included George Shirley, Grace Bumbry, Reri Grist and Martina Arroyo. Verrett’s Met career lasted until 1990, and she sang soprano roles that included Puccini’s “Tosca” (opposite Luciano Pavarotti), Bellini’s “Norma,” Leonore in Beethoven’s “Fidelio” and the title role in Verdi’s “Aida” and Desdemona in Verdi’s “Otello.” In 1973, she sang both Dido and Cassandra in the Met premiere of Berlioz’s “Les T royens” opposite Jon Vickers, replacing an indisposed Christa Ludwig in the latter part. Harold C. Schonberg wrote in the Times that her duets were sung “as beautifully as anybody could desire.” Two years later, she joined Beverly Sills and Justino Diaz at the Met for the U.S. premiere of Rossini’s “The Siege of Corinth” under the baton of Thomas

Schippers — Sills’ long-delayed Met debut. And in 1977, she sang Madame Lidoine in the Met premiere of Poulenc’s “Dialogues des Carmelites” Verrett performed Dido at the opening of Paris’ Bastille Opera in 1990 and sang Nettie Fowler on Broadway in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel” in 1994. AP drama critic Michael Kuchwara wrote she seemed “a little at sea, swallowing some of Hammerstein’s best lyrics.” In 1999, she appeared off-Broadway in the musical-comedy “In Dahomey.” Three years later, she sued the recording company BMG Classics, alleging her performance was used in the Oscar-winning foreign movie “Life is Beautiful” but she was never paid. The case was dismissed. Her autobiography, “I Never Walked Alone,” was published in 2003. She joined the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance in 1996 and was its James Earl Jones Distinguished University Professor of Music when she retired last May.

Bush to speak with Lauer, Winfrey, Leno, others

NEW YORK (AP) — The world will soon be hearing a lot from former President George W. Bush. After relative silence since leaving office in 2009, Bush will be on the air throughout next week and beyond in promotion of his memoir, “Decision Points,” which comes out Tuesday. Along with previously announced TV appearances with Matt Lauer and with Oprah Winfrey, Bush will speak with Jay Leno on the “Tonight”

show, have radio interviews on the programs of conservative commentators Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and make several TV appearances on the Fox News Channel, the hosts including Hannity, Bill O’Reilly and Greta Van Susteran. The schedule was announced Saturday by spokesman David Drake of Crown Publishers, an imprint of Random House, Inc. Bush will also meet with Candy Crowley on CNN and appear on “CBS Sunday Morn-

Among his print interviews: a cover story for the magazine of AARP, which represents millions of people 50 and older. The 64-year-old former president will not be out there alone.

Spider-Man musical stuck in a web of troubles NEW YORK (AP) — The bugs apparently still need to be worked out on Broadway’s version of Spider-Man. Producers of “Spider Man Turn Off the Dark” have been forced to delay by three weeks the official opening of the costly and complicated show, and it will only open its doors for previews after the busy Thanksgiving holiday. “Shows like ours, that embrace the challenge of opening on Broadway without an out-of-town tryout, often need to adjust their schedules along the way,” lead producer Michael Cohl said in a statement released Friday, citing an “unprecedented level of technical artistry.” Originally scheduled to begin previews on Nov. 14 with an opening four days before Christmas, the show will now begin previews on Nov. 28 and finally open on Jan. 11, a less-than-ideal timetable for luring the crowds that descend on Broadway over the holidays. “That’s usually a sign that there’s trouble in River City,” says Robert Westenberg, a Tony Award-nominated actor whose Broadway credits include “Les Miserables,” “Zorba” and the original 1987 run of “Into the Woods,” which he recalls was delayed for several weeks while Stephen Sondheim tinkered with the musical before it finally opened. When it did, it ran for two years. Westenberg, who now teaches theater at Drury University in Springfield, Mo., says many reasons can delay a show’s opening, including weak stories or songs, unfinished costumes, not-ready-for prime-time production values and unready stars. “They have to do this cost-benefit analysis in terms of how many weeks is it going to take to hammer it into the kind of shape where it’s going to be critic-proof, and how many weeks can they afford to do that without

anybody coming in to put money in the coffers,” he says. “It’s a tough call.” The reported $60 million musical is, by any measure, a huge undertaking. It will have a 41-member cast, 18 orchestra members and aerial stunts designed by a longtime Cirque du Soleil alum that will shoot actors up to 40 mph through the air and over the audience. Its promotional material promises “a thrilling experience in ways never -beforedreamed-possible in live theater.” The delay is just the latest blow for a musical that has been in the works for more than six years. Producers have come and gone, and so have cast members: Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cumming were once cast as MaryJane and the Green Gob-

lin. At one point, the musical was supposed to open in February 2010. Besides timing troubles, two on-set accidents have injured actors, including one who had both his wrists broken when he practiced an aerial stunt. And inspectors from the New York State Department of Labor, which must approve all stunts that go over an audience, were unable to complete a recent safety review; producers said they were unprepared to show all the stunts in one day. “I’m not surprised that ‘Spider-Man’ is delayed,” said a longtime theater producer not connected to the comic book musical, who asked that his name not be used so he would not damage his relations in the Broadway community. “They are building a

musical that costs three times as much as the biggest musical we’ve seen previously.” Until now, “Shrek the Musical,” which opened in 2008, is believed to be Broadway’s costliest show with a price tag reported to have been $25 million and it failed to make its investors money. By comparison, “The Phantom of the Opera” cost about $12 million in 1988 — around $22 million in today’s dollars — and “Wicked” cost $14 million to mount in 2003 and both are still chugging along on Broadway and are two of the most successful shows ever. The Spider-Man musical will star relative unknowns — Reeve Carney as Peter Parker, Jennifer Damiano as Mary Jane Watson and Patrick

Producer arrested on rape charge

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A man who produces two of New Orleans’ largest music festivals was arrested Friday on a rape charge, but his lawyer says he has been falsely accused. Stephen Rehage, founder and producer of Voodoo Fest and producer of the Essence Music Festival, was freed on $10,000 bond after he surrendered to police. Rehage is accused of raping a woman he went on a date with in June, according to a police report. His attorney, Pat Fanning, called the allegation false. “Stephen Rehage has been a prominent member of the New Orleans business community for many years. His reputation has been unblemished and he has been involved in numerous charitable activities,” Fanning said in a statement. “It is his intention to vigorously defend himself against these unfounded allegations, and he is confident that when this matter is conclud-

ed he will be vindicated.” This year’s installment of Voodoo Fest wrapped up Sunday after featuring performances by Ozzy Osbourne, Muse and My Morning Jacket. Rehage, who turns 47 on Saturday, launched the festival in 1999. His company also took over production of the Essence Music Festival in 2008. Rehage’s accuser told police she met him for drinks at a New Orleans restaurant on June 21, then went to a party at a different restaurant, where she continued drinking cocktails. The woman said she apparently “blacked out” during the party. “Her next recollection was being awakened in a bed naked and disoriented,” with Rehage on top of her, choking her, the police report says. The woman said Rehage let go of her neck after she gasped for air and whispered for him to stop, but she told police she blacked out again. When she awoke, she called several friends

and relatives for help. Police were summoned to Rehage’s residence and took her home, but the woman didn’t immediately report the alleged assault, according to the police report. Police started investigating on July 26, when a detective interviewed her at a hospital. Fanning said Rehage and his accuser had consensual sex. The woman had a boyfriend who called police after she told him about the encounter, Fanning said. Fanning also said his client’s version of events is supported by text messages he and the woman exchanged three days after the alleged assault. “I was just thinking about you, hoping that ur OK (and that our vodka drinking didn’t cause u too much grief),” Rehage wrote, according to Fanning. “Ha, ha. No I’m fine! Thanks for checking on me,” she responded, according to the lawyer.

Page as the Green Goblin — in the story by Glen Berger and Julie Taymor, who is also directing. The music is by U2’s Bono and The Edge, and features moody guitar-heavy arena rock, including the song “Boy Falls From the Sky,” which U2 has been playing on tour. During a set visit in early October, Taymor, who won a Tony Award for directing “The Lion King,” was firmly in charge and the technical run-through seemed relaxed. Cohl said things were on track, both financially and in terms of schedule. He would not comment to The Associated Press on Friday. Other shows this month have had complications. The opening of a musical based on Pedro Almodovar’s “Women on the Verge of a Nervous Break-

down,” which, like “Spider -Man” originated on Broadway without benefit of a practice run elsewhere, was also delayed and opened to mostly negative reviews, citing an unfocused production. And the upcoming Broadway opening of “The Merchant of Venice” has been delayed after actress Lily Rabe pulled out for several preview performances citing family reasons. But “Spider -Man Turn Off the Dark” has drawn the most attention because of its sheer size and audacity. The producer not connected with the show says he still has hope. “I wouldn’t count them out just yet,” he said. “We’re about to see something exciting. Whether it can pay for itself is a whole other issue.”
